Start thinking September goals ...

September is only a few days away. Everyone is invited to set some goals and check in on a daily or weekly basis. I'm gonna take these last few days of August to think about my goals for September and then post em.

My goal is to exercise three times a week, every week, for the entire month! I slacked off SO horribly bad in August! Now that life is back to normal routines, I desperately need to get my exercise routines going again!!!!!!

September is a critical month. Of course football is back which means massive beer consumption. Not to mention the sheer gluttony that usually accompanies the drinking. Whew! I'm sweating just thinking about it now. I'm really gonna have to up the cardio this month!

Great job, Kate!!!

I remained the same, which isn't bad considering all the parties I went to this weekend.

My goal for September is to lose 7 pounds.

My goal is to get back the 4 lbs I lost and gain 5 more to hit 175; same goal as August.

Hi fellow wannabe fit friends. I am starting a "lifestyle change" (not a diet) tomorrow with regard to diet. Part of the program talks about how we use our scale too much. That its just a number, but inches are what's really important. Therefore, they recommend weighing in only once every 6 weeks.

I am in love with my scale. I want to know (well, I really DON'T) how much I weigh at all times. However, it seems to sabotage my progress at times. If I lose, then I allow myself to eat a little more. If I gain, then I can feel defeated. So I must stay off the evil scale and just measure myself & weigh every 6 weeks. Last time I did this, I didn't make it a lifestyle, so I gained all the weight back & more. But...I went from a 16 to a loose size 9 in 12 weeks. Lost 30+ inches all over my body and lost 26 lbs. I know it works, but if I get caught up on the scale, I don't do as well.

Anyone care to join me in a 6 week weigh-in? Or ya'll can even just wait til the end of September since you've weighed at the beginning of the month. Whatcha think???

I cant do the 6 week thing, because I weigh myself once a week - at the same time everytime, in the nude, so it's all the same.

But props to you if you can do it - Personally I have such a bad stick-to-it-iveness, that actually losing each week keeps me going. I need the weigh in to gauge whether what I've been doing is working, or if I need to step it up.

scales are evil - lol
