Heyyy all you wonderful 20-somethings!! :bigsmile:
April is upon us - which means that March is BEHIND us and we can get BACK ON TRACK to reaching our goals! I know that last month was hard on a lot of us, so let's start spring off right, get into "summer mode" and kick some major *kitten*!
Motivate, inspire, encourage, support and share the love this month everybody. But most of all - participate! We need to get this thread moving again. I miss you all and I know we can pick this up again. Hoping to gain some good momentum here so post your March results and some new April goals that you want to meet.
WE CAN AND WILL DO THIS! :drinker:
Here's the March goal list. Let us know how you did and let's get a new list going...
Remember: SET REALISTIC AND ATTAINABLE GOALS!! There will be warnings, I'm sure, as there always are - but be honest with yourself about what you can sustain for the entire month and try to make your goals part of a reasonable lifestyle change. Is this something you can maintain over the long term? If not, consider making more short term goals - seeing progress and being able to check things off your list will help to motivate you and propel you to make more significant changes along the way. Baby steps folks. One day at a time.
Keep up the hard work, ladies and gentlemen. You all kick *kitten*!!

I'd like to join in the April Challenge
I already had several goals I had written down, but putting them out there will hold me even more accountable.
My goals for the month:
- In a continuing effort to curb my fast food addiction; goodbye to McDonalds, BK, and all the other grease pits out there. The only "fast" food that will pass my lips for the next 30 days will be from Subway, and that will be limited too.
- Jillian Michaels "Ripped in 30" showed up on my doorstep the other day; I'm committed to completing it 6x/week for the next four weeks, commencing April 3rd.
- Make a concerted effort to be thankful, happy, and make healthy choices (fitness and lifestyle) each and every day!
Cheers and good luck to everyone 0 -

So for march:
mkingraham- lose 7lbs, run a 5k without stopping, strength train 3 days a week
Well- I didn't lose 7 lbs, but that's ok! I lost 3 lbs this month according to the scale this morning which puts me at a total of 31 lbs lost so far. I am extremely happy with that. I ran 3 miles without stopping on Wednesday, just shy of a 5k by .1 miles, but I'm going to say that I accomplished that, the strength training however.....
March was a rough one for me just feeling burnt out overall. After taking a nice long break with my Hubby at the end of the month I am feeling refocused and re-energized. So my goasl for the month of april are to lose 7lbs, strength train at least once a week- I need to make myself get in a groove, and run 3 times a week. With running I am hoping that 3 miles becomes easier and easier so that I can get a little bit faster, but mostly I want to feel comfortable running that distance.

Hey everyone! Glad to be back! Sorry I've been so quiet lately...just really busy but I've been reading everyone's posts still! As for my March goals...I accomplished my hardest one, which was to work out at least 4 days a week every week!!! I even did more than that a few time! This is a HUGE deal for me because before, it was almost near impossible to get me to the gym multiple days in a row. And now that I have been working out so much I totally feel my body changing...my clothes all fit so differently now! I haven't lost much in the pounds category (only about 2lbs in 4 weeks :grumble: ) but at least I am seeing a change in the way my clothes are fitting...so I'm happy. My goal for this month is to just continue on in what I am doing to to stay motivated! This is really turning into a lifestyle change and that is the best thing I could ask for! Cheers to kickin some serious booty this month!

Morning folks! Got up a little while ago after a much-too-short night's sleep and ready to kick *kitten* into April! Major "ups" to Kvr and others for keeping things orderly around here... I totally forgot to include some instruction in the initial post so here goes:
FOR THOSE WHO ARE NEW TO THE THREAD*** Please copy and past the growing list of April goals and add your name and goals to the end so we can keep things in order! Thank you :flowerforyou:
As for March, I really got thrown for a loop...
Weighed-in this morning at 124.1lbs - So that isn't great. But it's up from 123lbs last week... Been really struggling not to lose since I haven't been able to work out and I am definitely losing some muscle mass. I can actually feel my body losing tone and getting softer in allll the most awful kind of ways. Trying not to gain fat though, but I can only do so much on account of my foot injury.meagalayne- maintain between 125lbs and 128lbs, complete weeks 8 and 9 of HH 1/2 Intermediate Training Program, YogaFit 1 time/week, strength train 2-3 times/week, and eliminate sweetener use by the end of the month (eeek!)
Didn't run at all this month, really. I think I logged maybe 4 or 5 runs all month, and even those were short and painful. I did, however, set a new PR - 5k in 28:15 :drinker: So that's a win.
Did *not* strength train nearly as much as I wanted to. My body is wrecked from the new job and strength is just not in the cards. Furthermore, the classes have been really hard on my foot and I just can't risk hurting myself anymore since I rely on my foot for my job. Sad face!
Yoga and sweetener - WIN! I actually accomplished those! Loving YogaFit and am TOTALLY off sweetener now :bigsmile: I may have one now and again for a super extra treat, but I now know that I don't need it and that's a great feeling!
April - I'm keeping things suuuuper simple. My personal goal is to quit my job by the end of the month. It's a toxic work environment and it's horrible for my mental and physical health. The other goals are self-explanatory.

Great goals everyone - Keep up the hard work! We can make April great!0 -
I guess I posted this early on the end of the March thread, and not the beginning of April. Oops, I guess I'm still getting the hang of this!
So I'm checking in for the final day of March with my goals. First off I'm super excited that I ran 3 and a 1/2miles today without stopping. It went like this 5mph 5 minute warm up, 7.5mph for 2 miles, 6.0mph for half a a mile, and 5mph cool down. The total distance was 3 and a half miles. I hope to be able to run the same speed preferribly 7.5mph for the whole thing, but I'm still pretty proud of myself.
I did not make my goal of finishing my 30day shred this month. I'm kind of worried about level 3 and so have been procrastinating on starting it.
I did have to work a lot harder than I thought I would to stay under my calorie goal 29 out of 31 days this month, but I did make this goal. Well, I guess as long as I don't go over tonight!
I made it a point to not make a scale goal this month after the month of February with the scale not moving. However I weighed in this morning for a final weigh in for the month. I lost a total of 8lbs this month.
So I've been trying to figure out some goals for the month of April. I decided to try not to focus on scale goals as it seems to be a let down if I don't lose, but an awesome surprise when I do.
So for the month of April I want to work to drink 64oz of water a day. There were some days in March where I only drank 2 glasses a day.... not good! I also want to keep up with my c25k program, actually finish my 30 day shred, and increase active outdoor family activites, like hiking, biking trails, etc.

Hey everyone!!! I'm new to MPF (just joined last week) and I saw this thread mentioned in another thread and decided to join you all! Since this will be my first full month, I have quite a few goals I want to attain: lose at least 7 lbs, actually do Pilates 3x a week (I've been slacking because it is seriously kicking my *kitten*), start the C25K (ugh, I hate jogging/running so this will be interesting), walk my hyper-active dog everyday, and drink 7 glasses or more of water per day. Let's kick some *kitten*!!!

Well I didn't make either of my goals. I'm okay with that though, being out of commission for more than a week due to illness killed me. Today is a new day and a new month.

I weighed in this morning at 194, so I think my goal for this month will be to break 190. I will continue to play with my calorie intake to see what my body likes. I will also be better about my weekend workouts (skipped the last couple weeks
). I never thought I'd break 200, but here I am, so lets see what happens!tjradd73-to lose 6lbs, drink 80ozs of water/day, 3 days of arms/week, and burn at least 5,000 calories/month

Hello Everyone!
I am really excited for the month of April and can’t wait to start on my goals I have set for myself this month. First, I wanted to update you on the small weight gain situation I was having last month and also wanted to thank everyone for their advice. Well the 4-5lbs I was putting back on quickly fell off and I have since lost a couple of extra pounds on top of that. I stepped on the scale this morning and it showed 188. WooHoo that is a total of 17lbs lost so far! ((Doing the happy dance)) I haven’t been in the 180's for I don’t know how long, so that is definitely a great way to start out my month. The last couple weeks of March I did make some changes to my diet and exercise which I have to thank the people here at MFP for. I did increase my calorie intake, took some measurements of myself and I also switched up my work out routine. I started working on things I have been avoiding such as crunches and running. With that being said I have listed my goals for the month below.
1. Finish the 30 Day Shred (I got this DVD and I have no clue why I am avoiding it so much.
Enough is enough it will get done this month) BTW I got this idea from you Rachellynch83 -Thanks!
2. Run for 3 miles straight (I can run 1.5 now but I would love to double it)
3. Do 1000 crunches 3x week (I’ve been doing 500 but I think it has been more of a mental block keeping me from doing an extra 500 rather than a physical one)
4. Lose 8 lbs (This would be awesome. Love to be in the 170’s by May)
5. Attend weight lifting class at least 2x a week

Thanks Megan - Beat me to the punch, girlie! :laugh:
Welcome to all the newbs :flowerforyou: This thread is an amazing source of motivation and inspiration and I really hope you all get as much from it as I do!
Sam - Duuuude push-ups were my NSGs for so many months... How are you tackling the 50 push-up challenge? Do you want to be able to do 50 straight, and if so, what sort of training are you doing? I did the www.hundredpushups.com challenge for quite a while and saw a good amount of success, but the last 3 weeks or so just increase the # of reps much, much too quickly, I found. It's impossible to stay motivated. I also did 2 months of http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/3-full-body-workouts-for-cutting-body-fat.htm 3X/week and it kicked my *kitten* (and gave me some sweet looking shoulder/back/arm muscles)... Just wondering what you've got in store!
So nice to see all the vets returning too! Keep it coming, guys! :bigsmile:0 -

Make strength training workouts more of a priority (30 min 2x/wk minimum); Eat 1 fruit and 3 different vegetables everyday; Try 3 new recipes (do not have to be “perfect” just delicious)
Hey guys, I’m FINALLY back- at least doing my March wrap up and setting my April goals. Wrap up: So strength workouts for March
Wk 1 3
Wk 2 2
Wk 3 2
Wk 4 3
This wk 3
So not perfect, but much better than previously. And in the last two weeks (now that we’ve settled from Tom’s move) I’ve really been able to give my 100% to those workouts. Recipes have also gone well- OSG’s VOO, green beans and almonds, and coconut chicken (which I will be re-making tomorrow for dinner!). The fruits and veggies are harder to do a rundown on- but rest assured, I held my own. And it’s not official yet, but it looks like I’ve lost roughly 4 lbs for March, so not too shabby!
So onto April:
I’m kind of excited- first day into April and I’ve already SMOKED my mile time (though the last time I ran a timed mile was in the Fall, so I’ve come pretty far). Anyway, 9:24 was my last time, new PR set tonight, 8:13! I’m REALLY stoked by this speed- I’ve been doing speed work and the other night I even ran a middle distance at around a 10 min mile pace. For the girl who was typically loathe to do laps around the field…well it’s just a great feeling. For April, I think I have a handle on how the weight is working for me so I’m going to go for 3lbs, and the rest of my goal I’m going to focus on running (my long term goal is to run my 10k race in June in under an hour—eeep!)
Sam- Good luck on the pushups! I kept getting stuck/bored around week 3, so definitely try your best to stick with it!!!
Here’s the list, I think it has everyone. I put it in quotes so it will stand out a bit:smashlee1984-curb fastfood eating, complete ripped in 30 (6x/week for 4 weeks), make an effort to be thankful and happy and make healthy (fitness and lifestyle choices)
