Diet and Fitness Buddies Community Group
A group to help us on diets support eachother.
Let's create a thread to document our personal goals.
These goals could be short term goals as well as long term goals.
How do you hope to achieve these goals?
Have you set a time frame to achieve them?

I hope to measure everything I put into my mouth. I want to follow my plan to the 'T'. I also hope to drink lots of water... something I lack in motivation to do.
I actually woke up this morning and was excited to see that I lost one pound!!! I actually achieved this mini goal.... I am now 151.5 lbs!!! I lost the weight before my date!
Now I'm hoping to lose at least 1 1/2 lbs more by Saturday. That should bring me to 150.0 lbs.
Your weight loss expectations for Saturday sound great. I recall you stating, on another thread, that you were in the 190's... 199 I believe. That means that you've lost some serious weight. At least 10 lbs! That's fantastic... keep up the good work and I'm sure you'll be going to your cousin's birthday close to 190.
You are going to be close to 190 lbs by Saturday for sure! Just keep doing what you're doing and you'll get there. Are you still drinking all that water? You had mentioned that you were 'addicted' to water and I hope you still are! That's how you will lose the weight for sure!

I'll take it!!!! Especially considering how and what I ate yesterday. If I were good, I know that I would have reached my goal.
New goal: Since I'm just shy of being down to MY LAST TEN POUNDS, I think I'm going to incorporate exercise into my program. Real structured exercise..... not just housework and errands. I've lost all my weight just by watching what I'm eating. I've actually lost at least 30 lbs since January. But only became serious about weight loss in mid September when I joined DS. I've lost at least 15 lbs since joining.
My hubby pays a monthly membership at a local gym and he is very dedicated and goes.... I don't. I never really wanted to go unless I started to lose weight seriously. So, here I am with my last ten pounds to lose.
I told him that when I get to the last ten pounds, I will start to go to the gym. I figure that I can start to tone up my body and make those flabby muscles into tighter ones. Hopefully my tummy will start to look more flat!
The only drawback is that when I start to build muscle, my weight on the scale won't come down as I will like it to. The muscle will weigh more. Yes, I know I'll start to look better and more sculpted but.....
Maybe I should wait until I reach my target goal and then start exercising?
I still have time to think about it... I have 0.5 lbs to lose first!!!!!
I gained a little weight back. It's totally my fault.
I am now 151.5 lbs. I now have 1.5 lbs to lose to get to 150.0, which will be my last 10 lbs.
I'm still undecided whether I will start exercising when i get to 150 or wait until I get to 140.
Right now I want to get into the 140's. I'll give myself until Saturday to get there. So... basically I have to lose 2 lbs by Saturday to be in the 140's!
Wish me luck!
A week has passed and I'm still in the same predicament. I am currently at 151.5 lbs.
I actually lost the weight and was back down to 150.5 lbs on Friday and then I had a crazy weekend ahead of me. I didn't have good food choices as circumstances wouldn't allow it. I did the best I could and made the best choices I could. I guess a plus side to this story is that I didn't gain more than I did.
I feel like my efforts were wasted last week.
Well what can I do now?
It's a new week and I have to have a new attitude. I sincerely hope that I will reach 150.0 lbs by the weekend or at least break into the 140's.
It seems like such a long journey now that I'm near the end.
I may have to do a two day cleansing. In fact I should. I KNOW I'll lose weight. I guess I feel that I've already achieved 150.5 and I can get there again and then do the cleansing to make it worthwhile. If I do it now, I may only lose the extra pounds I put on and nothing new!
I don't know what to do .
I'll wait and see what happens tomorrow when I weigh myself.
What a way to end the month!!!!
I did it... I lost that weight I was carrying around and broke into a new realm!
I am 150.0 lbs!!! The lowest so far.
I am on the last leg.... the last stretch.... I'm running to home base..... (ok enough with the cliches... I'm just so excited)
I know it will be hard. I have to stay away from temptation. I have to stay focused and determined and have to want this badly. And I do.
That is the only way i will lose weight.
My plan is fool proof and, If I had just stuck to it, I would have lost more weight by now. I just kept falling off the wagon and sometimes it was hard to get back on.... no matter how hard I tried.
so....
My next goal is to break into the 140's!
Hopefully I will see those numbers tomorrow when I step on the scale!
I did it!!!
I actually did it yesterday, December 5. I broke into the 140's !!! Yippee !!!
Today I weigh 148.0 lbs !
I only have 8 more pounds to lose to reach my target goal of 140 lbs. It will be hard as so many dancing sugar plums are hovering over my head!
I don't think I can lose the weight by the end of the year and that's okay. I'll be closer to my goal and won't have to lose as much to get there. Of course, that's assuming that i don't gain any weight over the holidays!!!
No matter... I'm right where I want to be and a little weight gain during parties is fine. I look good and I feel good and I'm going to enjoy myself. I'll worry about the pitfalls next year!
My goal right now is to lose as much as I can by my target date.
