Thanks so much for the encouragement! Yes, gently, I think is so important. We can be so hard on ourselves. Passion, excitement, and determination are important to achieving goals, but those qualities can easily slip into a kind of self-directed aggression that can wound us and take the air out of our sails. Everything is always a balance isn't it? Something we must daily and moment-by-moment recalibrate - pouring on the self-love when we need it and at other times saying 'Just for today, put that doughnut down!!!'

'Just for today, put that doughnut down!!!' I love the simplicity of this! And recognize what a mindset shift it requires... it isn't easy at all.
Thank you for this perfectly timed challenge. I'm new to myfitnesspal, and am really looking forward to being part of this journey with you all.
My goals for Valentine's Day 2016:
• run a 10k without stopping
• cardio 3x/week (jogging mostly, some stationary bike & elliptical)
• core &/or classical stretch 3x/week
• log food on myfitnesspal 6x/week (Sunday is my usual rest day)
• weigh 138 or size 8 pants - either is fine by me!
• get my body fat under 30%
I'll be 50 years old next February. I'm excited about working toward a stronger, healthier life.0 -

• run a 10k without stopping
Good luck on the running goal!! I have just gotten up to being able to run 5K and am very proud of myself (but really need to work on strength and speed). To celebrate I've signed up for my first public run in Feb! After I get my 5K down to 30 minutes, I am going to start working up to be able to run 10K!0 -

It's a genuine challenge! I *just* got through a 5k run without stopping, like you, and am looking for the next benchmark. I ran 4.5 miles on Monday, but that was in three increments. It's a great idea to sign up for a public run...such a motivation.0 -

I have found that the Endomondo training program has really helped me and their 5K to 10K program looks alright. Have you tried Strava? Well done on the 4.5 miles!! Good luck on your goal - keep us updated!!0 -
I have to say that I am SO motivated and inspired by all these fitness goals - you all are amazing!!!! 0

Thanks for the recommendations--I'm looking up Endomondo & Strava now. I've been using the C25K and 10K pro apps from fitlab.0 -

Hello all! I just joined. My goals are to not go over my calories and lose those 15 lbs!0

My goals are similar to yours. I struggle with emotional eating in the evenings. I am feeling overwhelmed right now as work and personal committments have kept me from a regular routine. Lots of eating and not the exercise I am used to.0 -
my diet and fitness goals are:
1. exercise 5X every week, adding more challenge to my routine each week
2. keep my calories at or under the goal of 1200
3. don't go above on the sodium, this has been a consistent problem for me, I can manage the sugar, fat and carbs just fine. It is making me focus more and more about steering away from processed foods and restaurants.
4. log my food before I eat it so I can think about it and adjust if necessary
5. loose a total of 60 pounds, so far I've lost 18.2 of those in the last 50 days
6. my non-diet/non-fitness goal is to wear my wedding ring again, my fingers got too fat!0 -

Ugh my main goal is to stop falling off the healthy wagon! It's so frustrating loosing the same weight over and over. My goals for this challenge are to..
1. Lose 15 lbs (of course)
2. Finish my current running training program, this month. Then begin a new one at the end of this month or beginning of Juanuary.
3. Cross train at least 4 days per week.
Can't wait to see how everyone does! All of us WILL meet our goals!0
