Fess up: New year resolutions. And, uh, I got a PS2.

I wanted to lose 25 lbs, and for motivation, I told myself I couldn't buy a new CD, DVD, or book until I do.

I've lost around 5, and RM95's Girl is making me stick to the motivation factor.

She doesn't know she's buying me <I>Say Anything</I> in a month.

 

I want to get in better shape (not lose weight, necessarily, just tone). I also want to be a better person. I'm often stubborn and demanding (ask Lynus, he'll tell you). And I wanted to put a huge effort into our relationship and be strong for him while he's gone. He has to do it and I have to let him. I've been doing very well-better than I expected. We'll see I guess. And as always, I want to do my best in school. My roommate has a 4.0, so she motivates me a little!

Good luck to everyone on their's!

(PS- It's hard to not be stubborn on this board, so that one hasn't been going too well. But this thread has reminded me of my goals, so there's a silver lining)

 

I want to get fit as opposed to losing weight. Ive gone from drinking a bottle of coke per day to drinking battled water instead. Now I cant stand drinking coke.

Anyway, Im going to get fit....starting tommorrow

Holy crap! 13 lbs in about a month is pretty damn good! Congrats and stick to it. I had a similar resolution but dissimilar resolve...cokes were easy since they suckass in England - don't know why they can't use the same recipe.

(bacon............mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm)

 

Congrats, CK, I hope you continue to do well. We will still get that game in one day and I don't want any "I'm fat and ugly" excuses.

I don't do resolutions. I am always trying to improve myself, don't need an imaginary "new year" line to start.

Note I said "trying" not "actually." I suck.

On some of my off days, I cycle for 20-30 mins or walk 2 miles. I am doing this every week now. To help, I eat alot of soy protein for recovery. I have not yet started to eat less calories to shed fat pounds but my muscle size and strength have increased since I started back in early January. It doesn't take long to get in shape on the BowFlex. My metabolism goes way up and if I cut calories down to about 1700 per day...the weight just falls off in no time at all...like 2-3 weeks I could lose 15-20 pounds sticking to the above workout schedule while eating right. It's awesome and it really works. Screw Subway. I eat okay now focusing on higher protein, drinking water/ notnon-sugar drinks, eating high dietary fiber including breads and cereals, and eating non-meat products containing soy. I eat alot of soy bars and soy nuts from Genisoy....mmmm....soy.

So, I'm happy to say I did not blow off my NY's resolutions.

I once lost about 25-30 lbs in one month. I used to be 165. I wasnt trying to lose wieght, but I started working out for 2 hrs everyday. Then played ball. To top it off, I would skip breakfast, eat a small deli sandwich from Subway for lunch. Then eat whatever for dinner. I grew skinnier then you could imagine.

I hated the way I looked. Well ever since then, I have been eating about 4 times a day, but I "try" to eat healthy. I barely ever ever have a burger or pizza. But I'm a sucker for steak and indian food. I still work out for about 45min to an hour everyday. Gotten back up to 155 and that is where I want to stay.
