How I did it: I just ignored the negativity around me in my house and decided that the 43Things supporters are the BEST and totally RIGHT! There is so much more support then negativity out there and the ACCOMPLISHING THE GOAL will merit more SUPPORT!I googled Jenny Craig and it brought up the comparison to Nutrisystem. All of the reviews hyped Nutrisystem. They also highlighted the online support and phone support through the program.… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I watched my 43T nearly every day and was so thrilled to cheer people on. I loved finding goals that people had that were amazingly similar to mine and those that are very different. I tried to read everyone's goals to cheer the best ones. I was so happy that so many people would take interest in me that it was a treat to take time to get to know others! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I sat and typed, sometimes taking a break and often reframing my thoughts towards my larger goal of personal happiness. I love my progress and want to do more so I am using the power of attraction to build more happiness. Read how I did it…

Describe whether you were able to meet your goals. If so, make a note of how you were able to do it; if your goals weren’t met, describe what got in the way and problem solve.
I am not as motivated this month. I am just getting tired. I was sick. Frankly, I am not as faithful to the plan and not getting the intensity of work out as I did when I had more time and could get outside. Once I dedicate myself to a gym it will be different.
