edited September 26 in Motivation and Support
I'd like to get a group of people on here to help motivate each other during the month of May. I have set some fitness goals for myself and am wondering, what are yours? It's not May yet, but it's right around the corner, so why not start planning?

My goals:
Start and complete the 30D Shred
Walk 90 miles

Simple enough, no??

    I'm gonna join. My group that I made has slowed down a bit, I think this one will be good.

    My May Goals:
    - NOT go too far off track during my week at the beach, enjoy myself but not take advantage of it. Still make good choices (May 12- 17)
    - NOT over indulge on my birthday, May 18!!
    - Be to 160 by the end of May
    - Cut back on sugars
    - Cut out sodas COMPLETELY (I'm actually starting this one tomorrow)
    - Go down a size (from a 15 to a 13)
    - work out for at least 30 mins 4-5 days a week.

    Seems like a lot of goals, but I like having more to accomplish!

    No, that's great! Not too many at all! I just know myself and its better for me to set two or three main ones and work on getting them accomplished. Whatever extra I do is extra, and great! But I seem to get too hard on myself if I set things too high... Welcome and looking forward to staying in touch!

    Welcome evs81! Those are great goals! Today is officially May 1st (at least in my part of the world) so going to sleep to wake up to a new day, a fresh month, and start on my goals - 30D Shred is first tomorrow morning followed by a nice 3 mile walk. Let's all touch base sometime tomorrow or the next day to see how our May is starting!

    Today is my official "first day" of May as the real first day came and went without my notice. It was a great weekend though, my first on MFP and I have to say I did pretty good even with dinner at friends and kickin' it with my honey. So watch out! here I come May!!

    How are you all feeling so far in May? Have you been sticking to your goals?

    I've so far done two sessions of the shred (for a total of 7 days included from April) and walked 6 miles towards my 90 mile goal. I've kept up with logging food two days out of three which is something I really am trying to work on.

    Hope you're all doing well and working towards your goals! :)

    I'm doing ok - been feeling a little under the weather but still sticking to my eating plan and exersising. Went to the doctor yesterday and found out I've lost two pounds! woop woop. I'm glad to see you're doing good logging your food MissLoser! I think that is one of the most important things for me, otherwise I just don't realize how many calories I'm putting in my body. Not sure where you are, but here in the SF Bay Area, the weather is starting to look beautiful - perfect for playing outside :) Keep it up girl! We can do it!

    Hey, sorry to hear you're not feeling well, hope you're better soon and able to enjoy the nice weather! Congrats on the 2# loss, that's awesome! No weight loss to report here, but started a new workout regimen and been reading that it's normal to even gain weight when you start something new. So, let's hope for the best! :) I'm in Israel so the weather is HOT! I was sweating so much today on my 2 mile walk, had to chug a whole lotta water. Going to do another shredding session when I get home and looking very much to relaxing a little this weekend!
