Hi guys!! My name's Jill and I need to get fit! haha. I've been working on it, I used MFP once before and I kept it off, i came back in January and I've lost 11 lbs which is great! I'm enlisting into the service this spring (I'm not sure exactly when I leave for Basic yet) but I'm using the month of march to really push my fitness level into hyperdrive. I do not want to get to Basic and struggle and feel like I'm going to die. lol.
Anyway, I am challenging anyone who wants to join me to set a goal or two for the month of March!
My goals: lose 8 lbs and by the end of March be able to run 2 miles in 20 minutes!
Current Weight: 174
Goal Weight: 166
Current 2 mile run: I'm not sure, but I believe it's close to 30 minutes
Goal: 2 mile run in 20:00

I would love to join!! I was doing really well and have hit a plateau so I need to push through. I am currently 154 and would like to lose 8 lbs by the end of March !! WOOHOO!! Lets go!!0

Hello all, I'm a newbie on here as well. Signed up a few months ago and then never really even tried to keep up with it (blame it on the holidays, lol). Anyway, as of about 2 weeks ago or so now I have finally decided it is TIME for a change, a change for the better, and a PERMANENT change!! I have become complacent and just been going along with, "oh I gained a few lbs... not a big deal." Well, those few lbs it seems have turned into a few more and my clothes are definitely telling me that too (ugh, HOW they all of a sudden got tighter on me I'm not sure, ha). Anyway, I'm sick of how I have let myself go and I am ready to step it up and get back into better shape!! I'm sick of being the "bigger girl" amongst my friends! I am not looking to lose a huge amount of weight but I think the last time I even attempted to lose weight was probably around 10 years ago (wow time flies!). I have been using food as a crutch all my life almost, but maybe even moreso over the past few years... for various reasons. I think my main issue is being active... I work an 8-5 desk job Monday-Friday and come home completely exhausted so working out was the LAST thing from my mind. Well, apparently this has really begun to catch up w/me in a BAD way and I'm sooo over it!! I would like to lose about 10lbs so I will join this challenge!! :-)0

CHHHHHHHHHELLO!
A Challenge? I love challenges!
2 Goals:
1. Lose 5 lbs by EOM March.
2. LOG MY FOOD EVERYDAY (even when I suck!)0 -
YAY!!!!!!! I'm so glad you are all joining me in this! As for weigh in days, I weigh in on Thursdays. If you need to do a different day it doesn't bother me, but I'm doing a BL challenge with my family and I have to weigh in on Thursdays haha. (evil smile) I'm so going to win that challenge! haha.
This is going to be awesome! We can so do this you guys!0 -
I'm in! I'm already apart of the 30 day shred group & a lose 10 lbs by end of March group, so this is even more motivation & support in this group. My normal weigh-in day is Thursday also, except I weighed in today with the 30 day shred group since we all just started it today. But of course I didn't lose anything since Thursday.
So my goals are:
*Lose 12 lbs by end of March (at least 10, but aiming for 12)
*Log my food everyday no matter how bad I do
*Burn 500-600 calories from exercise at least 5 days a week
Good luck to all! WE CAN DO THIS!0 -
Thursday works for me! See you then!
Good luck all!0 -
Alright here goes....
10 glasses (80 ounces) of water every day
132 by April 1 (currently 140)
Run 3.2 miles (5k) without stopping
I'm aiming to do two 5ks in April, but I'm not a treadmill runner and live in New England so this could prove to be difficult. Mainly ice and my bad ankle. But I'm going to do the best I can!
My weigh-ins are Sunday, so I'm going to keep those!
Good luck everyone!0 -
I weighed in today but I'll weigh in again Thursday..and then I'll start doing it every Thursday..when I weighed in today I lost a lb....Im feeling sooo great....
:laugh: :happy:

I think that is awesome that you are enlisting. My husband is Army and currently deployed and loves every second of the military life. Good luck! I would really work on your running, push-ups and sit ups and all that fun stuff. I think to pass a 2 mile PT test as a female you have to do it in under 18minutes or so.
March Goals:
- weigh 150lbs by March 31st
- continue running 35-40miles a week (marathon training) with strength training 3x a week0 -
AGHH!!! Alright Jenn I'm in! My personal mini goal is to be under 200 by my college graduation which is May 15... SO for this challenge I would like to lose 7+ pounds by the end of march.
starting weight 227
LET'S GO US! 0 -
I would love to be apart of this group. I would love to lose 8 lbs by the end of March. My second goal would be to get in all 8 glasses of water a day. I usually get 6, but it seems hard for me to get those last two in. That's where my coffee drinking comes in to play.
Thanks for the challenge.

Thank you so much for the support.... I'm really looking forward to it! Joining the Navy, as a 22 year old female my PRT requirements to pass basic training are at minimum:
58 sit ups in 2 minutes, 21 push ups in 2 minutes, and run a mile and half in 14:15.... Right now I can't do that, but I'm hoping that by the time I leave for basic (in April probably) that I'll be close to being able to pass that test before I even get there. My goal is to make the tests too easy for myself so that at Basic I can really push it and increase my fitness level beyond what I could currently imagine!

Whoo Whoo! Yesterday I did a ton of cardio, but what I'm proud of is that I ran for 9 minutes at 5.5 mph without taking a break and after walking for about 20 minutes, I ran another 9 minutes! That's 18 minutes of running! That's a huge accomplishment for me!
Come on ladies, we can do this!0 -
Way to go Jill! That's awesome!
Tomorrow's my weigh-in, but I've gotten into drinking 10 or more glasses of water the last few days. 8 is easy for me, but 10 is definitely more of a challenge. I started training for a 5K this morning, I'm doing Couch 2 5K, I wasn't going to, but my knee and my ankle have been acting up, so I think following an easier training plan will help me not over-train and injure myself. I skipped week 1 of the program though, for me it seemed a bit of a waste of a week, we'll see how it goes!0 -

That's awesome! I started doing the C25K program back in January, and at first I thought it was way too easy, but trust me it starts catching up with you haha. It does becoming somewhat challenging, but the whole point of the program is to ease you into it, so that you don't do too much and then hate running. It works! That's great that you're doing it!
10 glasses of water a day would be hard haha. But, you can do it!0 -
Oh I'm sure it gets much harder, but my training plan options were either this or a 6K program, which assumed you could already run 20 minutes at a decent pace. C25k was a much better option for me!
I'm down another 1.2 pounds. Not sure how realistic my 132 goal is, but we'll see. Currently at 138.8. Down 8.8 pounds since I joined MFP on January 24th. Got to take some pants to get taken in tomorrow, awesome!0 -
I started Couch25k this past week. I just finished Week 1 Day 2 today and I'm loving it! I use to be a runner, mind you, this was a few years and twins babies ago, haha. Getting back into it is great. I agree that week 1 seems a bit slow but I'm doing every single week and day it tells me too. I really want to run like I use to again.0
