    Can I join? I haven't joined anything here on my fitness pal and I don't have any friends.
    1. Use the elliptical machine I bought at least 15mins EVER day. (Small goal but I have to start some where)
    2. Find a meal plan and stick to it.
    3. To genuinely accept that weight loss is a process and that it won't happen over night. And to not give up and go back to old habits when the scale doesn't move.

    Would love to have new people join the challenge group to focus on 3 Things in April. When you are starting a new healthy lifestyle it's easy to get overwhelmed...for this group you choose 3 Things to work on and report daily about those.

    Examples from past have been flossing, eat 5 fruits and vegetables, exercise daily, read, meditate, no f'bombs, share positives, share compliment with yourself. Really ....there is no wrong answer.

    If you'd like to find new friends and be supported in an active group - send me a message and I'll get you an invite!

    What 3 Things could you do to improve your life by the end of April?

    Great idea, I'd love to join if possible! My 3 things would be
    1. Drink more water
    2. Record in diary consistently
    3. Increase activity

    Hi! Can I still join? :)

    1) Eat 1-3 more servings of fruits/vegetables daily.
    2) Drink 8-10 cups of water
    3) I want to get down to 135 lbs. by the end (I'm 138 lbs. right now)

    Sounds like a great idea to me.
    1. Walk three times a week.
    2. Lift weights three times a week. I've been very sedentary and I'm only beginning to find my motivational groove.
    3. Phone three friends a week. With all the social networking online I've found that I haven't seen or spoken to any friends in a long time. Good time to start reaching out and reconnecting :)

    Invites coming to all! The best news is...even if you are late joining April, you can easily stay in the group and participate in future months as well! Many people stick around for several months ---adapting their 3 things as times goes on. :D

    Hey there - love the goals you guys have come up with!

    If it isn't too late to join, my goals are:
    1. No sugary afternoon snacks - I will aim to eat a healthy, 150-200 calorie snack every afternoon that isn't chocolate or something else naughty :)
    2. At least 2 litres of water per day
    3. Go to the gym 3 times per week

    I'm a little late to the party but I'd love to join if you'd have me! :smiley:

    My three things are...
    1. Continue to adhere to my calorie goals as well as I have been.
    2. Try to drink less diet fizzy, and more water.
    3. Stop weighing multiple times a day as it's awfully detrimental with fluctuations! Once a week would be ideal but i'll start with once a day. :smiley:

    Thank you and hugs and stuff! :smiley:

    I've been MIA from MFP this past year, but I've been on a High protein, low-carb, low-dairy diet for the past month and my doctor wanted me to exercise at least 4x a week for 30 mins, So I decided to just do some old fashioned walking. I struggled to actually do it 4x a week at first but got the hang of it and I'm happy to find a week ago I've lost 10 Ibs in 30 days. This just made me want to get more aggressive in my diet plan, so I actually had made some April goals before seen this thread. Basically I'm sticking to my diet the only change is (only drinking water), doubling up on my Exercise regimen in hopes of losing double the weight, hoping to be 20 Ibs lighter by my Birthday on May 5th.

    My 3 Goals for April
    1. Exercise EVERYDAY! No excuses, rain or shine. (60 min minimum)
    2. Go from walking 1.5 miles everyday to 3 miles. (takes me 25-30mins)
    3. Adding 30 mins of Cardio Workouts, and changing it up daily so it don't get boring.
    (Ex. Zumba, Tabata, stationary bike, or just doing squats)

    I guess for me three things I need to work on is, drinking more water (I drink about 6-8 cups a day) staying on a exercise schedule which is pretty difficult because I have Fibromyalgia (but that doesn't keep me down!) and finding positive people to be around (even online!), that way we can all support and encourage each other even when we make mistakes! Good vibes only :)

    Love this idea! Even though I'm half way through April my goals have been to 1-log my food intake daily so I see how I need to eat better, or most cases, more so that my metabolism doesn't take a crap 2-drink more water and skip soda!!! Nothing carbonated!! 3-get in my 9000 steps with fitBit! Supportive peeps makes all the difference
