Maintain a healthy lc lifestyle

Continue drinking 10 glasses of water or more each day...getting used to it now.

You should try the Couch to 5k challenge. Google it and it gives you some directions on how to accomplish this.

You may also find some info out here in the Exercise Board.

I lost 50lb from Feb 07, with a few pounds bouncing up and down.(191 now)

But I'd love to be 30lbs down by Summer, (151 summer)
Be 135lbs in Feb 2009 oh boy~
WHEEESH! I think I can ... I think I can

Shimmer · 01-06-2008, 02:58 PM

I hope to make goal this year...that's a little less than 40 lbs from now.

iakaren · 01-06-2008, 03:02 PM

Lose 10 lbs during the year.

Maintain some excercise/meditation routine.

realityjunkee · 01-06-2008, 03:03 PM

Here goes!
My goals:

1. Continue with LC as a way of life, not a diet
2. Make my total lost 100 lbs by Feb 1.
3. Onederland by March 12 (My Atkinsversary)
4. Exercise a minimum of 20 minutes a day, five days a week.
5. Goal by December 31, 2008.

I have approximately 80 lbs to lose to get to my goal of 150 lbs.

sugarbuster · 01-06-2008, 05:12 PM

I would like to get back to my original weight of 135-140 and continue doing yoga. I feel yoga is the most important thing to me right now (besides the Atkins diet).

Just came back from the supermarket and was happy that I found everything I was looking for on my low carb plan - even hard to find items like sugar free ketchup and low carb white bread! I'm so happy!

LisaMC · 01-06-2008, 05:40 PM

I want to lose 40lbs and start going to the gym again.

GardenGirl639 · 01-06-2008, 05:51 PM

My goals:

Reach goal which is 47 lbs. away.

Stay low carb for the full year.

Train for a 5K.

Paty · 01-08-2008, 08:12 AM

My goals are :

- Lose 40 lbs and get to goal
- T-tapp consistently
- Drink that water

silversunfire · 01-08-2008, 08:14 AM

Get back on the treadmill and/or walking at least 4 times a week.
Get down to 180 and stay there!

flatferenghi · 01-08-2008, 08:19 AM

I lost 100 lbs in 6 mos time in 2007. If i can lose the next 100 lbs by x-mas 2008 at the latest, it would be a priceless x-mas gift. that would put me about 25 lbs from goal. short term: to ride the cyclone in Coney Island (shirt optional). well, we'll see... Love & Profits:FLATFERENGHI

goalreacher · 01-08-2008, 08:23 AM

These are my goals for 2008:

a) To reach goal by june
b) To be able to wear a bikini by summer
c) To buy cool clothes when goal is reached
d) To love myself for who I am and not care about people's negative attitudes or thoughts towards me.
e) To focus on my achievements instead of my failures.

yvonne326 · 01-08-2008, 08:55 AM

Well, back on track first of all.

My goals are simple: Get more organized, get myself out of this hole I am in financially (or at least get on the right track) and lose at least 30 lbs or drop 2-3 pant size (and get less flabby).

First goal .. my birthday on March 26th when I turn 45 is to be down at least 20 lbs or at least 2 pant sizes. I would like to reach my total goal by July 1st. Being that I am pre-menopausal, this may take some doing.... but I am determined. I know that LC is the way to go... but I know I also have to exercise because despite what many think... these go hand-in-hand. Thankfully I have my Gazelle and my daughter gave me Pilates DVD... No excuses!!

Tea Cozy · 01-08-2008, 02:09 PM

2008 Goals:

Stay on the wagon to look HOT for my May 31st wedding!

Figure out WTH is wrong with my Thyroid and TREAT it!

Start working out more than just the 3x a week TKD class.

Improve my mental health - such as it is. *wink*

Make DS feel safe and secure

ny_shelly · 01-08-2008, 02:24 PM

I'd like to stick to my eating plan for the whole year instead of falling off for several months at a time. I want to lose 25 lbs / season = 100 lbs.

Deanna25 · 01-08-2008, 03:43 PM

My goals for 2008-

--I want to get down to 122 by the end of the year and that is about 1.01lbs a week! Doable!!

Keep working out 2 hours a day 6x's a week.

Keep on track eating right and eat more veggies and less salt!

sweet&sugarfree · 01-08-2008, 05:16 PM

In 2008 I want to get to goal and stay there!!

ValerieisGoing4it · 01-08-2008, 11:04 PM

My goal is to lose 100lbs by Christmas Eve 2008.

I'm just getting started with low carb...tried everything else it seems..1 week so far (started 1/1/08) and have lost 9 lbs.

mirroravoider · 01-09-2008, 12:43 AM

My 2008 goals, in this order:
Feel good about myself again.
Wear a size 8 dress to my son's wedding in May.
Meet and spend time with interesting people -- maybe even date!??

cocosmama · 01-09-2008, 02:10 AM

My goals for 2008 are to exercise more and get into a size 6-8

mel4576 · 01-09-2008, 02:22 AM

I have a very romantic anniversary getaway in March and would like to lose the 15 pounds I gained around the holidays plus 10 more by than!

warriorscholar · 01-09-2008, 03:03 AM

On the first of the year I weighed in at 315 pounds. On the first day of '09 I'd like to weigh in at 250. 65 pounds is a very doable goal. Its 1.25 pounds per week. 5 pounds per month.

Cheers,

Amber_Baby · 01-09-2008, 03:14 AM

I would like to reach goal (which is 56 pounds away and I've already lost 42 pounds!) and begin maintenance by November 7th which will be my one year Atkinsversary. According to fitday I need to lose 1.29 pounds a week which is less than I'm currently averaging so who knows, I may even get there sooner. And once I do get there, I will definitely be maintaining.

I also want to keep up the 2 to 2.5 litres of water I am currently drinking each day and drink Diet Coke (which I used to drink by the truckload) no more than once or twice a week.

I will also continue to go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week, every week. I've got a taste for exercise now, it helps with stress and it really does make me feel good. Plus I can see the benefits already, everything's a little tighter and firmer than before and I want this to continue!

And of course, I would like to maintain all-round happiness and security in each significant part of my life - family, friends, work, money, social and body aspects.

momofallboys · 01-09-2008, 05:44 AM

Well, 2007 was definitely a bust as far as weight loss - I started the year 15 lbs heavier than 2006 (I've lost 5 of those already

). As far as learning about myself and what works for me - I learned a lot!! So much that I can say with confidence that my goals for 2008 are...

To get to goal and possibly lower - it depends on how my skin looks. I know that when I get too low my face looks gaunt rather than healthy.

To exercise 4-5 times per week faithfully. I want to get back into the shape I was before I got pregnant with my twins.

To possibly run a 5K. I'm not sure about that one because I seem to always end up with shin splints but I'd like to give it a try again now that I bought new shoes.

janamonkey · 01-09-2008, 11:39 AM

My 2008 goals are:

1. lose fat all over
2. get stronger
3. wear a bikini and be proud of what I've accomplished

Skylady · 01-09-2008, 11:40 AM

Ok, I'm a newbie to this. I put an introductory post somewhere....I have no idea! But, this is a great category! I am looking to lose 53 now extra pounds in 2008, but it's not just about the weight.
