Many people say that they want to avoid special things or have other certain goals for the new year. What about you? What do you think about it? Or what are you goals? Maybe quit smoking, getting married or losing weight?
What I really want is to lose 55lbs! Hopefully I will be le to reach this goal!

I have a ton of goals for 2008!

I'm not sure how I'd arrange them in order of most importance, so here's just a random list.

Reach my goal weight
Maintain my goal weight
Get married
Get out of debt
Buy a house

I'm not sure how the last one on the list is going to go, but here's hoping.

I want to lose 10lbs of fat over the next 2 months myself and maybe put on 5lbs of muscle, time permitting.

Other goals, getting more certifications, starting an MBA program, maybe finding a girlfriend, learning more about my job, and making this site a better place!

Great goals! Looking at all these goals I think I have got some more goals too except losing weight :-)
I hope that everybody will reach his or her goals this year! Let us now how successful you are-also about goals which have got nothing to do with losing weight like a wedding! Has he already proposed to you, Audrey?

Hi Kel!

Well my goal is to lose 47 pounds by april. Yesterday was my official start to my diet/exercise regimen. Its tough but I have to remember to stick with it. I have been keeping a food diary as per the advice on this forum and so far I have been doing well. I am hoping to definitely shoot for that 160 in april. All the best!

Yup! We got engaged last March, so I'd say it's more than time we got married. But we're tight on cash right now (both of us just finished school), so we'll see how it goes. I kinda just want to elope. Wedding planning makes me crabby

[Kel]

Wow that is great! So I really hope that you will finally marry each other this year! Have you already looked for a wedding dress? I mean you have already lost so much weight and it should be great to fit into dresses now which haven't fitted you at all a year ago!

I know it's a big pain, but it'll all be worth it (the planning) in the long run. You'll be happy you made the right decision.

My goals are a reflection of trying to fit more into my days, in a less stressful way:

• Get up an hour early to have a leisurely breakfast before work, read the papers and get to work less frazzled and/or sleepy
• Cut out junk food, I am lucky in that I love fresh veggies and cook from fresh every night - before christmas it was more about convenience that led me to order in
• Lose weight and get into shape for the summer, I am aiming to start cycling to work, so that I get my daily exercise in without spending my evenings at the gym
• Go for one walk in the countryside every week
• Organise my finances better

Wish me luck - the cycling starts Monday!
