Beth :peace:

Hi Beth. Prayers go out to you. I will continue the 6 cups of water and add to the 30 minutes of exercise to 60 minutes I will follow the Core program of WW.

I was working on my goals last night; they are similar with one or two additions or refinements.

1. Only look at the scale once a week.
2. Do cardio 5 days a week. Of those five days, two must be an hour or 300 calories burned, the other three must be a half hour or 150 calories burned.
3. Weight lift 3 days a week.
4. May have sugar in small doses...must stop before bingeing.
5. Should plan to try to have between 1400-1500 calories/day for at least 4 of the 7 days; any day that calorie count goes beyond cannot be more than 1700.
6. Need to make a list and post it of the reasons I am doing all this: for my health-both emotional and physical, for my future grandchild-so I can enjoy him/her, to work towards a potential retirement career in training/nutrition, and because it's a challenge!

I forgot to say 6 cups of water, 60 minutes of exercise 5 days a week and following
Weight Watcher's Core plan.

Congrats again those who made it to Phase 2!!! The link to your choice of certificate is in the post immediately above this one. All you have to do is print it, cut off the words OUTSIDE the border if you want, and write in your name and goals achieved. Meeting your goals really is a HUGE accomplishment. You did GOOD!!! Sue

You now have 2 choices of certificates !

My goals for Phase 2:

1. I will continue with Curves 3 times a week and I will do a minimum of 15 minutes of exercise on the other four days each week. (Missing Curves workouts due to winter weather conditions will not cause me to rephase)

2. I will journal daily.

3. I will eat no less than 4 servings of vegetables and 2 servings of fruit each day.

4. I will drink no alcohol before my evening meal or after 10 PM each night. I will eat an evening meal every day, but it may be a light meal as opposed to a full heavy supper.

5. I will pay attention to my body's satiety signals. I will stop eating at or before the point where I am overly full.

6. I will drink 2 12 oz glasses of plain pure water daily.

Goals for Phase 2:

1. Stay under 1500 calories per day......and use Fitday to be sure about it!
2. Eat a minimum of 5 meals per day (I've gone back to 3 times a day as I don't have a lot of time to eat at school, but I find I get very hungry.....)
3. Up fruit and veggie intake to 3 servings of each per day.
4. NO FROZEN MEALS OR "FAST FOOD" FOR PHASE 2!!!

I've been good about drinking my water and taking vitamins, those are more of a habit now......but these goals will be tough! :)

Phase 2 goals:
*No binging or overeating
*Eat min of 60 grams protein per day
*Examine my personal goals for the next year and take definite steps to meet them
*Continue practicing confidence and positiveness in my daily life

It took awhile to come up with goals for this phase but I sure needed to get them in on time! The major one is, again, no binging. I’m so amazed that having a binge during this last phase was not even something I considered, even though I went through a personal situation that certainly would have put me over the edge in the past. Most of my numbers (calories, sodium, water, exercise, etc) have been staying within the goals I set at the beginning, except for my protein, which is consistently low, so I do need to jack that up. Negativity has always been a major factor in my “previous life.” I have seen amazing results by staying positive, no matter what, so I definitely want to continue with that. My confidence has also increased dramatically, but I still sometimes let self-doubt creep in. So I’m going to continue to work on my issues so the confidence will continue to increase. I also need to take a serious look at where I want to go with my career within the next year as I found out two days ago (the day of my party) that there is an impending layoff in my future; so I need to get on the stick and figure out what I want my future to be. Here’s to another good two weeks! Sue

Do you have any ideas of what you want your future to be, Sue? Do you want to change careers, do you have new interests? The way you are losing weight, I bet anything is possible!

I cannot believe that I am starting Phase 2! Its so exciting!

My goals for Phase 2:
1) Continue FBS every morning
2) I will eat at least 2 fruits and 3 vegetables every day
3) I will journal my food and drinks for 14 days.....I don't necessarily have to have calories, etc recorded. I just want to see what kind of food choices I am making and why.
4) I will do skin care every day
5) I will do something nice for MYSELF at least once a week and this will include buying something for me (lotion, perfume, shampoo that isn't bargain priced, lol) every pay period. I never spend money on me.....bills, household needs, business expenses have always come first.

Blessings:spring:

Kim

Thanks, you guys, for posting your goals. Jamie and Pat, and whoever else reaches Phase 2 in the near future, be sure to post your Phase 2 goals here as well. Sure makes a difference to put them in writing. Already this morning, I'm thinking, "Ok, I SAID I was going to eat 60oz of protein, now I have to actually DO it, lol." Sue

Hi. I lost 7.4 lb during the two weeks on Phase 1.

Holy Cow Amy! Well, at least you know what works for you!

Artmaker, good question (about what career I want)! All I know is I can do anything I really want to do and this presents the perfect opportunity to go for what I want. I just don't know what I want! I'd love to go into the animal field (maybe animal behaviorist?), but I need the security of a real job with a steady income and all the benefits (I'm alone). We shall see... It'll be an eventful year. All I can say is I'm so happy I've lost so much weight because I feel my opportunities will be greater, and with my better outlook in life, anything is possible. Hey, does this mean I met my goal for positive thinking today??? Just got done grilling up a bunch of chicken today too that should last me most of the week, so that will help me meet my protein goal. No binges so far and I thought about my career. I do believe I'm set for today! :) Sue

You are right Sue, it is so good that you lost all that weight before you had to make such a major change in your life. Luck luck on your career change.

I lost 7 pounds on phase one. Of course five of that was holiday gain.


For phase two I am going to continue with my RS video at least five times a week, but I will up the intensity I put in each exercise.

I will continue to enter my three meals plus snack on fitday. Here's the addition, I will avoid the candy dishes `at the various locations I need to go with my job each day. I was having a few each day and working them into my cal count, but they are empty calories.

Pat

Reminder - this thread is only for phase 2 peoples to post their goals at.

Your updated posts go over on the 14 day thread :)

Sorry for any confusion - we are still learning but getting closer to an easier "system" every day :D

Beth :peace:

OK so I've been lost what with all the new threads we're supposed to be using. I started phase 2 today. Had my goals all ready last night but had no idea where to put them. Now that I've gotten my brain together, here they are.

1) Do DDR 5X per week, 30 minutes each time
2) Do my new yoga DVD to help me relax 3X per week in the mornings
3) Do some other tape (TaeBo, Fit to Strip, etc) 1X per week
4) Continue healthy eating plan, vitamins, meds, water from phase 1
5) Give myself one compliment per day - not necessarily weight related

Even though my goals were very hard for me to meet (still the dang meds are the hardest), I made it through Phase 1 so inspired that I've made Phase 2 really challenging. But I love my new yoga DVD and I have such a collection of other fitness DVDs that are going to waste - they must be used! :D

Good luck fellow bootcampers!

PS I am happy to be on the honor system - I'm sure more people signed up for this than you expected Beth and Sue. But isn't it wonderful to have all this support?! :ghug:

Congratulations for making it to Phase 2, Badger!!! Your hard work has paid off! Now, focus on each day of the next 14 and you'll be at Phase 3 in no time. Keep going strong, Sue

I'm a PHASE #2 NEWBIE -- I'm expecting PHASE #2 to be difficult, harder than PHASE #1. Hopefully, I can go through PHASE #2 with NO re-phases! :whip:

GOALS

3.) I will drink no more than 3 coffees a week. [ Small or medium only! ]

4.) I will park further away from classes on Tues. & Thurs. -- This will allow me to get in some walking (or running, if I'm late!) :laugh:

6.) I will dedicate 30 minutes each day to: reading. -- This will allow for quiet time, relaxation.


--------------------------------------------END OF GOALS------

WHEW.... a new, harder, journey is ahead of me.

2. I will increase my exercise sessions from 45 minutes to 60 minutes and I will continue to workout at least 5 days a week. (Going to the gym with my boyfriend has been a HUGE help!)

3. I will not eat fast food during phase two.

4. I will go to bed by 11:00 pm Monday through Friday, my workdays. (This will be a tough one, you see what time it is now... but I need more beauty rest to live more healthy.)

Phase 2 February 2, 2005 - February 15, 2005
I had to rephase on this one :c( I started out good but Tuesday I had a difficult time. My calories was really high, so I am starting this phase over.
Phase 2 goals
1. Calories 1800
2. Exercise 5 days a week
3. Take out food once a week
3. Drink plenty of water
Once upon a time I would have been heart broken but I am learning that when I mess up to not beat myself up but to learn to bounce back and this is a true lesson of life, and to learn from my mistakes.

well I've been doing great I lost so far since February 2, 2005 2 pounds so I am quite pleased with myself. I enjoy exercising :ex: and what keeps me going is the fact that I enjoy completing my phases and I am going to finish phase 2 :D I am truly excited about this forum and reading how everyone is doing. So keep on going everyone we will make it out of phase 2 :D Take care

Reminder - this thread is only for posting your goals in for phase 2 - please update in the current open thread for updates - so others can support you :)

Sue or myself starts a new thread for updates & posts every 14 days -

Beth :peace:

I start Phase 2 on February 7th - yippee ! :D

EDITED on Feb 20th - as of 4 rephases.......sigh

Phase 2 starts ( again ) for me on Feb 20th - March 5th...

My challenge is almost the same this time as it was for Phase 1 but with a few additions added

1. 25 ozs of water a day 5 days a week ( last challenge was 20 ozs )

2. 1 fruit or vegetable a day 6 days a week ( last challenge was 5 days a week )

3. 3 times a week of 30 minutes exercise - hopefully Curves but I need to allow for life.....so this time I am just saying exercise.

4. 3 lbs weight loss in this phase - today weigh in was 243 - so I need to be at 240 by March 5th

Beth :peace:

Phase 1 day 13

I am actually going to make it! Finally! :laugh:

I have started to think about my goals, and have them pretty much in line. As the first 5 days of phase 2 will have me travelling, I decided to keep that in mind with what I do for the next phase. So ... my goals for phase two will be:

1. Wise food choices. Travelling always has me going for the fast food, since money is tight. I know there are good ways to do it, and bad, so my biggest goal is to pass the burgers, etc. and go for salads or other healthy alternatives, such as going to a supermarket for groceries, to eat back at the hotel.

2. I will get some form of excersise every day.

3. I will try and stay in touch with diettalk while I am away ... will look for a cybercafe ... I know being here makes me much more aware of what I am doing, so will need it to keep on track.

4. I will not stress out ... yes it is a big interview, but not worth gaining 10 pounds from stress eating.

(for the newcomers ... I have a job interview in Ottawa ... gov't is flying me out for it. It is for a job at a Navy base ... I really want this job, so have been getting really wound up about it ... not good for the diet)

Ok it looks like I have my phase 1 someplace other than it should be.
I will still post what I expect for the next fourteen days. But if you consider that cheating I will start phase 1 again. OK

# 1 Get 50 oz of water was at 4o
# 2 3 fruit was 2
# 3 4 veg. was at three
# 4 Exercise at least 20 min. that was 15 at least 5 times a week more would be better But it has to be reachable.
#5 Post all I eat in fit day every day.
# 6 come and encourage fellow campers at least 5 days a week.

Now hope I have this where it belongs.

Hi I am a little confused on where I am suppose to post once I 've put in my goals. I am now in phase 2 until Feb. 15 and I don't know where I should be writing just to let others know how I am doing. I want to talk to others who are in phase 2 or who would just want to talk about how they are doing so please HELP!!!!
thanks Leslie

Hi Leslie. Sorry for the delay in answering your question. Outside of the special threads for posting the goals of the particular phase that you're in (example: Phase 2...Post your goals here), all other posts go in the open thread with the current two week's dates (example: Healthy Living Boot Camp 1/29-2/11/05, click here to go straight to that thread: http://www.diettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46177). At the end of the current two weeks, a new thread will be opened with the dates 2/12-26, and then you just start posting there. I hope that's clearer than mud.

WOOHOO PHASE TWO!......February 20-March 6......3rd time to start!

Phase Two goals:

1) Exercise: Avg. 13 miles a week=26,000 steps (Phase 1 was 11.90 miles wk)
.................Plus: 10 minutes 5 days a week, using my Chart/Tools

2) Water: Continue at 48 oz. daily...strive for MORE

3) Food: Avoid eating after 7:00 PM......5 days each week

4) Other: Get my personal space in order...when my space is a mess, I FEEL like one!

This should keep me busy and out of trouble!

Bren

Phase II goals....

Exercise: 150 minutes and/or four times a week.

Food: Four servings of fruits/veggies at least five days a week.
Calories: Average under 1400 per day over each week.

Tracking: All food entered into FitDay.

Comment: The most difficult for me will be the exercise, which will be my emphasis for this phase. Will continue the water but not as a formal goal.

Jo

How many times can I rephase in 1 month?????? grrrrrrrrrrrrrr X-(

That is not a question - it is frustration remark !

any ways -

Phase 2 starts ( again ) for me on Feb 27th - March 12th...


1. 25 ozs of water a day 5 days a week ( last challenge was 20 ozs )

2. 1 fruit or vegetable a day 6 days a week ( last challenge was 5 days a week )

3. 3 times a week of 30 minutes exercise - hopefully Curves but I need to allow for life.....so this time I am just saying exercise.

4. 3 lbs weight loss in this phase - today weigh in was 238.5 - so I need to be at 235.5 by March 12th

Beth :peace:

I don't know how many times I've started Phase 2 either, but this time, I aim to finish it. Time to get moving along. Time for some progress.

Time to get control over my binging again for an entire two weeks and then an entire two weeks after that. I have no other formal goals. Anyone who knows me knows this is a big enough challenge all by itself. But...when I'm not binging, I am following all the other basics of eating right, exercising, and drinking my water. It goes hand in hand for me.

Okay, I'm going to keep the same goals as phase 1, with a few changes and additions.

*Exercise 20 min/day
*Drink more water
*Stay at current portion control for food
*Limit myself to 5 pieces of candy per week (lifesavers will not be considered candy, as I use them for a breath-freshener)

The candy thing will be hard, but I really don't need any more sugar than that! I know it's late in the day, but I'm going to count today as day 1, since I've followed everything today. Hopefully I won't have to re-phase my self as many times as in Phase 1!!!

I'm so happy to start Phase 2. It took me 15 weeks of this new year (not so new anymore!) to finish Phase 1. I had to change my Phase 1 goals repeatedly until finally I hit upon goals I could accomplish but were still meaningful. As of April 15 my goals for Phase 2 are as follows:

1. Drink 64 oz of water every day.

2. Take two outdoor walks each week.

I just finished phase 1 today and I'm ready to start phase 2 tomorrow - June 1 to June 14. The first 2 goals are pretty much the same as in phase 1 and than I'll add a new one.

My goals are:

1. Eight workouts a week - 5 or 6 are to be cardio of 60 min or more and 2 or 3 are to be weight training of at least 45 min.

2. Drink 8 or more glasses each day.

3. Do a journal everyday on the program I have which records and charts everything.

I'm rephasing Again

1. exercise 45 min - 6 works outs a week

2. drink 8 glasses of water

3. do a journal
