		<description>I don&#039;t have a goal right now.  I think that could be a big part of my problem.  I shall ponder it and set one!

		<description>I’m finally getting caught up!!!  I am so happy to be back reading your blog, Diane!  I have missed your insightful posts very much.  I really enjoyed your story about the 285 pound football player.  Until starting this journey I weighed more than all of my friends - females and males - and have only recently been confident that I am now less than about half of the boys; I still have a long way to go, but comparisons like that really stick in your mind.  I also loved your post about pregnancy since I am planning on trying for children in the foreseeable future.  It is definitely reassuring to know that it is possible to relose the weight I will gain during that time.  Sorry I missed your giveaway, by the way, but congratulations on reaching 5000 comments!  You have obviously touched many, many people with your words.  Also, I think it’s so cool that Frito-Lay had you come to their facilities for a tour and it sounds like you had a pretty good time doing it, which is great.  Love your 50 tips idea!

		<description>I&#039;ve seriously sat here for 15 minutes trying to think of what my goal should be.  I&#039;m still not sure.  I know my goal for the next three weeks, but I&#039;ve gotta think about what it is for the month of december. I&#039;ll get back to you on that!

		<description>Oh my goodness, only 50 days left in the year??  Wow, this year has just flown by.

I really like that you suggest having ONE goal to work toward.   I have a tendency to set a zillion goals for myself, never really tackling one big goal at a time.

So my goal is to stay consistent with my workouts, no matter what :)

		<description>Hi Diane!  I want to bust my plateau and start dropping weight again. My stretch goal at this point is 15 pounds, but I will be happy with 10. I am looking forward to your tips!</description>

		<description>My goal is to not fall off of the weightloss fitness wagon all together!  I might not loose a lot over the holidays...but I promise I will not gain!  (IT seems the past month my scale does not want to move much...anyway)

I also have to promise myself not keep my commitment to exercising daily.  Life will get nuts at work and at home, but I have to tell myself to keep moving!

		<description>Basic goal - get back into weight loss mode through the end of the year.

Anything I need to change - Not right now.

Great idea with the tips Diane!

Thanks for another thought-provoking post!</description>

		<description>My basic goal from now until the end of the year: focus on the ones I love and take care of myself by eating well and exercising (and not the food, everything that has to get done, the stress...). 

As always, great post. You are so right; it&#039;s so important to have a plan; having a plan really does make a difference!</description>
