    I'll start - my goals for April
    1. Lose 7 pounds - I've hit a plateau and I am going to beat it!
    2. Increase my exercise to 5 workouts/week - work on increasing my back strength
    3. Eating healthier - purchase my produce and prep it for the week each Saturday - I make better choices when it's prepped and ready to grab
    4. Make at least one new friend on MFP each week

    BTW if you are interested in number 5, here is a great MFP challenge thread to help motivate participants to stop snacking in the evening:

    • Keep logging daily.
    • Keep fitting in an average of 10,000 steps/day (some days more, some days less, but 10,000 steps/day on average).
    • Focus on my goal of weight maintenance a couple of times each day -- and continue to stay inspired by actively offering support to others.
    • Go easy with the bread. It is my weak spot. I'm fine if I have it occasionally -- not fine if I have it a couple of times each day. :-)

    I log everyday.My biggest foe is sugar binges, not doing that at all would great. Exercise is now part of my life, I should do weights more. So that could be a goal for once a week.

    So we've got 13 signed up for this already - that's really great.
    Maybe we can convince a few more - come on, you know you want to!

    Yay, Jen! I'm on track so far, too.

    Didn't feel like going for a walk this afternoon, but I did it anyway. I'm glad I did. I always feel better (happier and less anxious) after I come back from a walk.

    I've used my little elliptical thing twice this week, not every day but more than I was doing! Still just stepping over the bag of weights in my family room though!
