Goals for 12 weeks: 9 pound weight loss, 19-20% body fat
Weekly goals: --Eat my plan everyday this week. --Allow 3 cheat meals (major family event coming up this week, so giving some wiggle room) --Continue my really good work from last week of eating clean, cooking ahead, packing meals --At least 4 weight lifting sessions and 4 cardio sessions this week.
I'm going to take pre-bikini photos this weekend (ack!) so I'll have before and afters for ya'll at the end of the 12 weeks.
Healthy Eating plan - For this week, I want to just track what I'm eating and see how far off I am from 1400 calories/day. My goal after this week is to stay within that amount each day, allowing myself some extra if I keep up with the exercise.
Goals for the WEEK (short term) Bring a salad every day for lunch except for Thursday (lunch with a friend) Workout three nights Meditation CD after my son goes to bed 3 nights and compare my late night snacking the nights I do this vs. the nights I do not
Goals for the entire challenge (12 weeks) Fit into my favorite skinny jeans (down two sizes)
Healthy eating plan - stick to about 1500 calories a day cut way back on bread avoid processed food eat tons of veggies

My GBCN SN is PhoenixRising.
My MFP SN is MrsBrownsFan (my old SN from TN).
My short-term goals are to track all food every day, avoid any disordered eating behaviors, go to the gym three days, go to yoga one day, and take three long walks with the dog.
My long-term goal is to lose 12 pounds in the next 12 weeks.
I use MFP (am allowed 1790 calories per day) and do not eat wheat.
I don't have measurements, but my starting weight this morning was 214 pounds. Almost three years ago, when I started my weight loss journey, I weighed 275 pounds. However, prior to separating from my H, I was down to 197...the last 2 1/2 months have not been overly healthy ones.

Goal for the week: Work on my food intake. I would really like to eat more than one meal a day (just for clarity, this is not a huge meal either, I am talking 300 calories max for the meal. My body is having issues with food intake. I was in the hospital for half of July because I literally had 8 oz of apple juice in two weeks and that was all I could keep down).
I want to do three workouts (low impact) in the pool this week to make sure what I am losing is more fat than muscle and continue walking two miles in excess of my usual daily walking.
Goals for the entire challenge: I would like to lose 30 lbs and increase my calorie intake to normal ranges.
Measurements: I haven't weighed myself yet today but I did take pictures. I also have before pictures from June so I can definitely see a difference.
Goals for week : Get in fighting shape for the wedding/bridesmaid dress this weekend. No carbs after 12 each day, 8 glasses of water each day, no more than 1,400 calories a day (net after working out)
Goals for challenge: Tap into the six pack, finally. Overall health. Maintain my current weight and goal weight-115.
Goals for the week - make it to the gym 4 times, swim at least 2
Goals for 12 weeks - Strength training is a priority, so I hope to have a measurable increase in strength- there is a workout/program at my gym to measure this.
My sn on MFP = mylittlemystery9
My sn on WW = N/A
Measurements - TBD.. I plan to measure but forgot to do it this weekend.
Healthy Eating plan - My plan is to track eating/exercise in MFP, I'm hoping by tracking my food I will make healthier choices and work towards cutting sugar and processed food out of my diet. No specific plan in place. Oh- I want to pack lunches for work and not eat the lunches provided by the pharmaceutical reps.
Goal(s) for this week: track everything I eat daily, drink 8 glasses of water before 5pm daily, go for two walks.
Goals for entire challenge: lose 10 pounds (this is just the start of the total I need to lose), cut back to soda only on the weekends, make exercise a part of my daily life.
Eating plan: eat breakfast everyday (I never do this now), work on portion size, drink two glasses of water before each meal.
Goals for the week - work out 6 days/week or 8 hours/week.
Goals for 12 weeks - go down to my optimal weight or close to
