ditzchic Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 ^Yikes....12% is pretty low for a chick...youd be hella toned out though. I can dig it =) I don't plan on staying at 12% permanently. Because I've lost a lot of weight already I have to take my percentage pretty low to get the skin to "tighten up". Once that happens and I maintain awhile I plan on going back up to about 15-17%
eleanorhurting Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 aww I love this Goals: I have been making improvements in my eating habits. I would like to stick to them. I also want to lose 10 pounds but I want to do it in a way that it is actually a lifestyle change so it will stick. I also want to be able to say that I have not gotten drunk d since November 2011 (last time I was drunk) I also want to learn how to be OK on my own. I have been single for a year but I still don't feel 100% comfortable and I still take rejection very personal. I want to get straight As this year. And I want to do things that will make me a good applicant for next year when I apply for residency. I want to go to a Boston hospital for my residency. strengths: I think I have a great smile and I love, love, love my freckles. Although i am not where I would like to be right now, I think I have a pretty good body overall. My legs and my behind are not too bad I think I am a great friend. I am loyal and I don't speak behind people's backs (except when I come on LS to total strangers ooops). I try not to judge and I have no tolerance for gossip. I think I have a big heart and I genuinely love and care for people.
Negative Nancy Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Goals : - strengthen the relationship with my bf by leaving my past behind - lose some weight - make more money - travel more and go out more on the weekends - pay off my student loan, then use the disposable money to help my father - make more money - win the lottery so i dont have to work anymore and can be lazy - look better by getting more extensions, more bleaching, more clothes, maybe some botox sessions since im about to hit the big 30 (just kidding, but it has crossed my mind) - make more money - expand my social circle - make more money Things I like about myself : i am quick-witted and sarcastic i am extremely quick of comprehension and with learning new work-related things...this is also my downfall, though, because i am already bored again with my new job that i just started 4 months ago so...finding a job that keeps me interested longer..or better yet...win the lottery so i dont have to work anymore i am told i have cool eyes i like my body when i am in shape i like my sense of humor - i can talk sh** back and forth with my boyfriend for hours i am compassionate and i can read people's faces very well and sense their true feelings i am a good philosopher and an extremely good listener i dont participate in gossip (but i do like to read celebrity trash gossip magazines - the stories they sometimes come up with just to match the snapshots are hilarious. one time a paparazzo caught keanu reeves sitting on a bench on a cold fall day, looking gloomy and buried in thought, probably just some mundane stuff like a grocery list or his annual tax return. the magazine though made it sound like he was sad, depressed and borderlining suicidal, citing a "friend" that keanu has totally withdrawn and is a seriously depressed state. lol made me laugh so hard ... here's the shot, hahaha http://brainsyndicate.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/kr-sad.jpg?w=640 the shot even prompted an internet facebook campaign "cheer up bro": http://www.okaygeek.com/storage/post-images/internet/funny/keanu-reeves-day.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1275635069609 haha anyway...a good example of my sense of humor that i like about myself, btw Edited January 19, 2012 by Negative Nancy
Anela Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Nancy, I didn't start to look my age until I was around 35, and that seems to be the point that a lot of people do; please don't stress about 30. (My mother stressed so much, that she woke up on her 29th birthday, thoroughly depressed, because it had been on her mind so much, that she thought she was turning 30.) My mother is researching the GAPS diet, right now, hoping it will help both of us with our different issues (I've had various problems, but the main one right now is a stomach issue that has me hardly keeping anything down - lovely!) She looked them up on youtube, and told me that the beef broth they were talking about - one cup of that per day, they reckon is like a shot of botox. I'm a hypocrite asking you not to stress, though. As much as I've been depressed over health problems, being stuck, getting my heart broken, and losing several family members, friends and pets to death - a chunk of that has also been due to my age, and what I've been experiencing over the past year or so, along with regrets (things suddenly hitting me, that I should have realized before).
misssmartypants Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Nifty thread op! Goals: my big work goal is to be more organized and assertive with people I work with. I hate conflict and tend to avoid it. Home goals: save money! Every month I get ticked at myself for pointless spending! I want to buy a house so I need a downpayment. In 18 months I'll have "tenure" it would be cool to also be ready to buy a place. Personal goal: people scare me. I need to get over that. What I like about me: i happen to think I have a beautiful face. I am smart and kind to a fault. I am a great cook and mom.
mortensorchid Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Things I like about myself: My height (standing at 5'10"), my hair because it has body and bounce, and my sense of humor / personality. People have told me it's appealing. Ha ha ha ..
Eve Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Great thread! Gave me some laughs too! Take care, Eve x
Author kaylan Posted January 19, 2012 Author Posted January 19, 2012 Positivity BUMP! Guys need to get in this thread and post some good things. Its overrun by the ladies right now. Come on bros. I don't plan on staying at 12% permanently. Because I've lost a lot of weight already I have to take my percentage pretty low to get the skin to "tighten up". Once that happens and I maintain awhile I plan on going back up to about 15-17% Ugh...do you like younger guys ditz? Because a girl whos into fitness melts me to my core instantly. aww I love this Goals: I have been making improvements in my eating habits. I would like to stick to them. I also want to lose 10 pounds but I want to do it in a way that it is actually a lifestyle change so it will stick. I also want to be able to say that I have not gotten drunk d since November 2011 (last time I was drunk) I also want to learn how to be OK on my own.

I think I have a big heart and I genuinely love and care for people. I feel you on the good grades part. You def need it in the med field. Good luck and study hard. And own your single life. Learn to love it, because that kind of freedom is super fun. Ive been at points before where I hated being single as well, but then once I started telling myself positive things it got better. I always remind myself that its part of a long fun ride thatll lead me to some awesome girls in my life. We cant force things.
ditzchic Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Ugh...do you like younger guys ditz? Because a girl whos into fitness melts me to my core instantly. Love em!! I find younger guys have a much easier time keeping up with me
tman666 Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Goals: 1) Age gracefully and retain my good health and strength. At 26, I already see a lot of my peers letting themselves go. This is NOT going to be me. 2) Find work that allows me to make a good life for myself and my (eventual) family, yet also stimulates my passions 3) Travel the world 4) Someday get back into creating music 5) Live by an ocean at some point in my life Goals this Year: 1) Maintain or even drop the level of bodyfat I'm carrying right now while continuing to increase my strength on all lifts. I have some specific goals in mind, not that I'll bore you with them. So far, I'm well on my way. 2) Become better at fly fishing 3) Learn to optimize my life balance. I tend to overload my plate, which I'm finding is counterproductive to progress and overall happiness. 4) Look forward to something every day, rather than living for the weekend 5) Learn to perfect my BBQ Smoking skillz 6) Avoid comparing myself to others and continue to pursue my own "groove" and brand of awesome 7) Take a serious look at my finances and what it will take to make a smart home purchase Things I like about myself: 1) I'm kind of an oddball, and I like it. 2) I can grow a sweet beard, a fact which I'm currently embracing. 3) I feel like I'm pretty good at seeing the big picture of issues, which incidentally has made me fairly disgusted with most politicians in the last few years. 4) I think I'm a pretty good cook. 5) I'm very independent. I love my friends and family, but I can also take off on a road trip across the country alone and feel at ease and make myself feel at home in most places.
tangerinetrees Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 This is such a great idea! Goals for 2012: Finalize my divorce Make a career decision and finish the education needed to obtain a degree. I know what field (and have worked in it for the last 8 years), just narrowing down the specific job is proving to be difficult! Go back to practicing Bikram Yoga 3-4 times per week...my body misses it! Learn more about the sports my 5 year old son is increasingly getting interested in....soccer, football, baseball, and martial arts. I'm lost! Yikes! Finish writing my book. Accomplishments: Learning self reliance. I never knew how strong I was till I learned to rely on myself this last year. Learning how to put into practice an 'attitude of gratitude' I really do love the skin I'm in and I'm so grateful to be here now...right where I know I belong. Things I love about me: Physically: I have a killer smile, gorgeous blue eyes, almost perfect hair and shapely legs. With the right bra, I also have a great rack! lmao! Mentally: I am confident in myself and my decisions. I love who I am and I'm truly proud of the road I've walked. I can find joy in almost any situation and NOTHING makes me happier than to be able to help those around me. I am a really great mom and I'm teaching my son how to be a Man, something that is so important to me. I'm smart and witty and I don't take life too seriously. I am goof and I love that about me!
