Hi all! Up early, so I will start:

1) calories below 1600
2) stretch
3) walk when I can
4) rest when I need to
5) meditate
6) Don't get discouraged


Congratulations, Mike!!!! This week you will be a married man. Much love to you and your DW!!!!!

I'm on. My goals for this week. Lose 2 pounds. Paint my bathroom and laundry room. Clean the house for guests on the weekend. Plan healthy meals so I don't gain on the weekend.

Welcome, Mary!!! Good goals!!! Enjoy your guests!!!

Anyone want to join us? Plenty of room on the wagon!

If I hop on the wagon, I don't have to walk!! :D

I'm coming along for the ride!!! My one and only goal this week is to get past the plateau!! Oh, that and also to stick to the new 8 week challenge I'm doing. I've got 4 days until weigh day....do you think I can get past the plateau this week!?!?! :rolleyes: Who knows....the only thing I know is I'm going to give it may all!! ;)

Hope, Mary and Bea - Glad to see you here on the wagon! :D

Who else is joining in for another week?!?!?!

1. Stay at my current level of 2,100 calories a day.
2. Keep going to my weekly Tues/Thurs Les Mills workouts.
3. Do not miss any more lunchtime walks on the treadmill during the work week.

My employer even gives me 20 minutes of free fitness time I use during lunch.

Starting weight on 4/8/2014: 319.2
Today's weight on 5/5/2014: 308.2

I like this!!! My type of thought!!!

So glad you are along for the ride!! You definitely can bust the plateau!!! And I am hoping I can get rid of the fluff.

These seem like very good, very attainable goals.

Everyone has good goals this week. Hello to you all--Mary, Hope, Debbie, Steve, and Bea!

Trying to get back with the plan this week.
1. Stay under 1400 cal/day
2. Exercise to 21 Day Fix at least 4 times
3. Increase my endurance time on each workout until I can finish the Total Body Cardio Fix workout.
4. Find balance within for my mental/emotional/physical well being.

My goals this week are the same as last--to log food every day, eat on plan, drink 64 oz. water, but this week I'm going to do some walking on a treadmill at the Y or on my street, not just walking to videos. At my age, I can tell there's a difference in real walking--my hip sockets get more of a workout with actual walking. I need to get my hip sockets used to longer distance walking (longer than just around the house or at the store) in prep for a day trip with a friend in August when we will be walking around a small town.

I had a wonderful, relaxing weekend at home with just myself and DH. This morning I made the easiest pot of healthful low carb soup ever--that was my unconventional breakfast today. Yesterday I had stewed some chicken, strained and saved that broth. In that broth this morning I cooked some rough-chopped cabbage, and added the weekend leftovers of black soybeans, green beans, and chicken/low carb pasta casserole that also had spinach, tomatoes, and zucchini in it.

Hope, best wishes on your nice simple goals this week.

Mary, wow, you have a busy week ahead. That painting and cleaning will surely enable you to lose two lbs.

Bea, you are so funny! I laughed aloud over your comment that if you hop on the wagon you don't have to walk. Maybe you and I should agree to chain ourselves to the back of the wagon so we can keep up with the others while having to walk behind the wagon. LOL

Debbie, I am rooting so hard for you to break that plateau. Sometimes breaking one also includes a quick whoosh of weight loss--better than you had hoped for. Wishing that for you! :)

Steve, nice goals this week. That's wonderful that your employer gives you 20 minutes of fitness time. I see you're down on the scale again and that you've lost 11 lbs. in a little less than a month! Congratulations! :D

OK--I going to grab myself a bottle of water right now and head out the door for a walk in the neighborhood.

I just want to say hi and am jumping on the wagon. I had a good week end and want to continue this all month.

Goals
Drink water
Eat fruit and veg
Exercise 3X
Go to bed on time

Have a good week.
