Hi all

I am new to the MFP and want to challenge myself in June to up the exercise. I was wondering if anyone just starting or experts want to join me on the journey. We can set a goal together for each week or for the month.

    I've totally slacked off lately so I am in need of some motivation! I'd love to join you in challenging myself to be more active!

    30 minutes 3-4 times a week is definitely manageable for me!

    30 minutes a day 3-4 days a week sounds doable for me too.

    Sounds like a good goal. I have started putting stickers on my calendar for everyday I get my workout in. I know it might sound silly but it feels great to look back and see the month full of stickers.

    I agree....I like to have the x's on the calendar to look at it and see what I've accomplished.

    Well it is June 3rd and I just finished my first workout for June. I did 20 minutes of cardio dance. Such a shame it only burns 138 calories! But hey it is a start right???

    Only burns 138 calories? 1 calorie burned is a start. 138 is a "way to go" start. Keep doing that!

    Totally NOT silly! I've started writing down what exercise I do every day on my calendar and it's a huge motivation to keep the chain of good days up! :happy:

    Day 3 of working out for me. how is everyone else doing? I see lots of people joining me but haven't seen you on the thread in awhile. Come on let's support each other ! I am putting a sticker on my calendar for every day I workout. I have to admit wanting the sticker motivated me today :) According to MFP if I continue this way I will weigh 179 in 5 weeks. I'll take that !!! I have yet to see any weight loss but I have more energy.


    Edited to say I just hopped on the scale and I am down a pound since I started exercising !
