    Totally weight. I have my 2nd fitting August 7th and I NEED to lose 3-5 lbs by then.

    Work related, I'm taking an exam August 9th and haven't started studying.

    I would like to run my next 5K in 33 minutes.  I am signing up for the Somerset Patriots 5K which is Sept 6.  Close enough to Labor Day.  I also would like to continue my weight loss or at least maintain the almost 17 lbs I am down.

    I want to be able to host dinners for fi and my family/friends more often.  I work during the day and go to school at night.  I think if I made the effort to do this every few months it would be a good thing.  I have all these beautiful gifts from my bridal shower just for this purpose!

    Can I just say that I am so impressed with your weight loss! I lost an inital 10 lbs when we first got engaged, and I've kept it off, but I just can't seem to budge from there.

    In theory, to lose about 5 pounds.  But more than anything I want to be leaner and more toned, so I'll take that with or without weight loss -- I'm more inches- than pounds-focused.

    I bought 20 classes of my favorite fitness class on Rue La La recently, and they need to be used by September 15, so hopefully that and eating better will really help.

    I've been dealing with shin splints for a while so I haven't been running as much as I'd like -- I'd love to get back to running 4-5 miles on a regular basis (right now I'm being careful so I don't really go above 3 - 3.5).

    Wow Kathy -- what made you start trying before the wedding?

    I wonder if people will be suspicious if you aren't drinking champagne at the wedding?

    Congrats on the weight loss that is really something to be proud of!

    We have been wanting babies since we got engaged, however we did want a semi big wedding and so we had to have a long engagement (2 years) in order to afford it. We also bought a house last summer. We're both 31 and have known each other since we were 12, we were just at the point in our lives that we really wanted to start our family. We have great jobs, a house - and our furbabies are just not cutting it anymore LOL I knew it wasn't going to happen on first try and even if it did I wouldn't show so much at 3 months. At this point if I get pregnant this month I would  only be a month and no-one would notice, I can always drink apple cider and it wouldn't cause any suspicion :)

    And Danes congrats on the weight loss, you are killing it!!!

    I definitely want to have a videographer, dj, and florist booked by the end of the summer. It's a little hard to coordinate everything when I don't live in the area. So it would be great if I could get those 3 checks done.

    I would LOVE to be at least "under contract" on a house by Labor Day. House hunting is ridiculously stressful.

    Good luck w/ your goals everyone!

    I would love to lose weight, but I know that won't happen because well, I've been saying that for awhile now. I HATE working out.

    I would also like to be pregnant by then or right after labor day...

    I always need some extra motivation!

    By Labor Day I'd like to loose another 5lbs, but it's more than I am more than happy! I've changed a little of my workout routine and added running intervals into my half marathon training and I think it's helping!

    Good luck to those TTC! How exciting!

    I would like to be married and off birth control.  Maybe not having a baby yet but I would at least have it be possible if we wanted to try.  In my household we take baby steps. 

    That may not happen though because FI is a nervous wreck so my realistic goal is to finish getting my wine shelf on the wall and painted. Its built but I have to paint it and whine until FI puts it up on the wall.

    I would like to have my brand new kitchen done. My kitchen is seriously from 1970s something, completely with wallpapered cabinets.  This sh!t has got to go.  Good luck to all of you with your weight loss goals, and the baby making! I lost about 30 lbs using Jillian Michael's 30-day shred 6 times a week.  I did it for about 5 months like that but lost the bulk of the weight in 2 months.  If that helps anyone.

    <div>Thanks, a couple years back I was put on meds that, of course, had a weight gaining side effect.  I kicked the meds and then kicked the weight, that was about a year ago to date and I have NOT gained one pound back.  I know that if I can do that, that anyone can reach their weight loss goal.  </div>

    1. My show needs to kick butt. Well on it's way, so I'm very excited, but it is one of my dream roles, and I REALLY want it to be a good show.

    2. I'd like to have a good handle on the bridesmaid dress ideas, have picked a florist, and be working out the invite/STD choices.

    3. I'd like to get back to my sewing, before FI takes over the table again for school. I yelled at him for a month and a half to give me the table over the summer, but since it's been mostly cleared, I haven't done anything.

    4. I keep meaning to stay on the Wii Fit, to tone and keep myself moving, so I need to do that, dang it.

    5. Also, visit my grandmother more often. She's failing. (I had a rough Monday.)

    weight. i'd like to lose 10 lb so i can fit into my all time favorite jeans. I've kept them for 5 yrs. I was working out for months before the wedding and now ever since we got back from the hm i have no energy anymore. But all the weight i lost i've kept off and i keep going up 2lbs and losing them. We've been eating healthy since DH had those tests. He's gotten thin fast which makes me mad. I need to get my energy back and work out again. ughhhh....

    edit- i went to waltmart this morning to buy the 30-day shred!!! YAY!

    I have a lot of WR goals...pick DJ, limo, my dress, BM dresses, be ready to send STD's.  Would also love to lose 5lbs, which is realistic for me...just started up on WW again yesterday!  Good luck with all your goals, and we should definitely be able to keep each other motivated :)
