So looking at the new threads and looking at my own experience over the holidays I think it is time for us to look forward and plan for a nice clean New Year. So what kind of plans are you guys making to insure 2009 becomes the perfect Atkins Year?

I plan to incorporate more vegetables in my diet, as well as to better prepare myself by baking things ahead and freezing them to ward off cravings. I also plan to become more acquainted with my eliptical!sigpicKaren

To be a more positive person...that way everything else will just fall into place (meeting my first goal of 165 then be in the 150s by the end of the year, get a real job, buy a house, buy myself a car, go on vacation to Jamaica...okay a few of those are dreams more than goals).~Lisa~

Re: New Year's Atkins Resolutions - list them here
I believe that all components of a person have to be in line to get success - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. So here is my list -
Physical- get down 20 pounds and find a new way to fall in love with eggs again. Eat gluten and sugar free for 30 days.
Mental- read a book a week. I love to read - and usually consume 5 books a month. Also want to take an online course on Non-Profit Organizational Management.
Emotional- to start each day with gratitude. Resetting of my emotions to be less reactive. Appreciating those I love daily.
Spiritual - find a good church home. Spending time daily in reflection and meditation.
I also spent an evening last week reflecting on 2008. I wrote down each month and then went back and tried to remember what occured during each month. I know that I was too busy with work but it really helped me to bring some closure to a crazy 08. Give it a try!sigpic

Re: New Year's Atkins Resolutions - list them here
Great idea
My Atkins resolutions:
- run twice a week
- exercise normally 5x per week, mostly in prep for kickboxing grades
- don't cheat until May (lame I know but I'm a realist at this point)Comment

Re: New Year's Atkins Resolutions - list them here
Not only to eat more veggies, but to also try different kinds and keep open-minded about it. To get through all the birthday parties (I have seven nieces whose birthdays all range from Feb through July) and be at goal by my birthday.
Get on the exercise bike at least three to four times a week, for at least 20 minutes each... gradually working up.
I also really, REALLY need to work on my self esteem issues. I was unhappy with the way I looked before, and even after losing almost half the weight, I am still unhappy. Which means I have some work to do on this INSIDE...Weight loss currently on hold! Baby due 11/22/09
Weight loss goal: 160 lbs
Re-starting early next year sometime

Re: New Year's Atkins Resolutions - list them here
My goal is to be under 200 pounds for my son's high school graduation in June. Only 40 pounds to go so it is realistic to acheive. To help acheive that milestone, it is my goal to exercise 4 plus times a week while staying on a strict Atkins plan. I know what works for me and when I follow my plan - I am successful.sigpicCeeMarie 267/236/180 (-31 lbs!)
56 pounds to Goal! I will do it!
Next mini goal is 229 -
Big goal 199 - Wonderland for my son's graduation!Comment

Re: New Year's Atkins Resolutions - list them here
to be 2/3 of the way to my goal of 100 pounds lost. I am currently 1/3 of the way there. I would like to be at this goal by christmas next year. I know i could take it off faster but I want to do it more slowly so I can use atkins as a way of life, not as a diet.Comment

Re: New Year's Atkins Resolutions - list them here
Well this is my first day on the way to a new and improved me. I guess my resolution this yeat would have to be 1. To become a better thinner me. 2. To be happy in my own skin 3. When I walk past a mirror, I want to stop and actually take a look!!!LOL. My older sister has lost over 30 lbs on this diet and she has become my inspiration!!! Hope you all have a happy and healthy 2009!Comment

Re: New Year's Atkins Resolutions - list them here
I would like to be at goal by the time we attend a friend's wedding in July in Tuscany. I have to picture how nice it will be to go shopping for an outfit and truly feel good about what I am wearing. I went to a lovely wedding in Rome in October and was totally obsessed about how fat I was and how nothing looked nice on me - what a waste eh?!
So my route to goal:
Progress through OWL and not feel tempted to stick on lower rungs
Exercise at least three times a week
Read more - and not just low carb books! I used to read for 30 mins every night and loved it.
Be grateful for what I have NOW and not wish my life away.

Re: New Year's Atkins Resolutions - list them here
I wrote this in my journal earlier this evening:
I'm so glad the holidays are over & done with. Time to get my a$$ in gear. Time to start getting serious about this WOL & make a true commitment. Time to get serious about an exercise program & stick to it~~~this is the key to weight loss. The other thing I really want to work on is picking my battles & just letting things go. There are just some things in life that I can't change~~it is what it is. I need to stop stressing out about things as I can't change them. All I end up doing is making myself nuts~~~just let it go is my new mantra.
I am also going to set some mini goals with rewards & put them in my siggy.

Re: New Year's Atkins Resolutions - list them here
My resolutions are to keep up exercising four times a week and to reach goal by 2010. That is 30 pounds to lose and I'm hoping I'll easily be able to do that in 2009. It is good how one of my goals helps me achieve the other! My resolution is also to keep on the board and keep on the plan without going off for weeks or even months at a time like I did this year. I want to stick with it!~Amy~
