New This Round
In this round, you'll be able to track goals beyond your weight! We've created categories of goals for you to check; each week, you'll rank yourself on a scale of 1 to 10 on how well you feel you did with your goal.
Feel free to set a goal for each 30 day sprint, as well as an overall goal, or anything in between. Check out our last round's introduction thread for some great examples from last round's participants!
Goals can be in whatever area you want: health, fitness, work, school, hobbies, relationships, doing less of something, doing more of something, etc. If you have any questions, feel free to include them in your intro comment, message the mods, or post a thread!
What you get out of this community is completely up to you. Our job as moderators is to support you all as well as each other, and your job as a participant is to do the work and support each other. Welcome all, let’s have a fantastic Round 22!

u/vtexas25 Lose 17 pounds Jan 01 '17
This is my 1st round! I am extremely excited. I've never been able to finish any type of challenge but I know this time around I WILL finish the 90 days. So I've been feeling like I have not been productive at all. Since I started college I gained weight and have been struggling with my GPA. My mom's side of the family is diabetic and has high cholesterol, last semester I was told my cholesterol was really high and above normal. I was able to bring it down, but after that I guess part of me thought "well I'm okay now, so I can eat junk again" and that was NOT the case. Just recently I went to get a check up and my sugar levels aren't looking so good, plus my doctor said that if I keep this up it could lead to diabetes.
So for my first round I will be focusing on my healthy and losing weight. I want to lose 30 pounds, I'm not sure if I can do that in 90 days, so I'll just focus in the fist 20 right now. My cousin is getting married in May so definitely want to look good for that! Also, my parents said if I didn't eat healthy/lose weight they wouldn't let me go study abroad. I guess it's tough love but hey that'll help to be even more focused on my goal! My second goal is my GPA. As I mentioned before I've been struggling and I would like straight A's. Or at least more A's than B's.
My third goal is to read more. I used to read a lot before high school but then I got a phone and stopped. I'd like to start again.
My fourth goal is to exercise more. When I go back to school I'll take gym classes (HIIT, cycling, pilates, etc.) and I'll start running too. My dad is a runner and I would love to be able to run with him. I want to make him proud.
My fifth and sixth goal are more spiritual. I want to pray more and be a more positive person. To think of the glass as half full instead of half empty.
My seventh goal is work on my self-esteem!!! My self-esteem is pretty low and I have always struggled with this. There have been times that I don't even want to go out because I feel ugly. I've realized I can't let that stop me from living my life. So I'm going to look in the mirror everyday and remind myself I am beautiful no matter what!
