Guest guest Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 well today, (saturday) was my first official weigh in since i joined the group. my weight was 180.4. this will be my new starting weight even though i've been losing for a year. i'd like to take a fresh start. i originally had a long term goal in mind, but i think now i'll concentrate on a smaller goal and work myself up. my new goal will be 160. today i started a new goal eating wise as well. i've decided to try and have one meal a day be salad. tonight i had a grilled chicken salad for dinner, and i felt great. i'm a really picky eater, and i usually never eat salad, but i have a hard time getting in my veggies, so here i go. i actually was pretty good. i've also been kicking up my water intake. i've been drinking a decent amount of water, but now i'm going to try to reach 60-90 oz a day. by reading the posts i've learned that i should be drinking from 1/3 to 1/2 my weight depending on my activity level, so i thought that was a nice range. well, here's to a fresh start!!! s_s_smiles 180.4/180.4/160 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 I think it's important NOT to have to long term goals, but to have smaller ones that are easier to reach! That way there is a " prize " when that goal is met, and a new small goal can be set!!
