Hey fabulous 20-something friends! :drinker: Welcome to 2012! This is OUR year - Let's make every day count!
This will be a quick intro for those looking for a new challenge and wanting to stick it out for at least a month. For those who are vets to our monthly challenges, you know how its done. Scroll down to the bottom, check out your Dec goals, and start kickin' some *kitten* ! :bigsmile:
For the newbs - Welcome! Here's the 'skinny' on our healthy living and lifestyle challenge...
As with the 15 challenges (!! we've been at this for 15 months already!) that have come before, this is a place where MFPals in their 20s can search out support, motivation, and advice while they are working towards their own personal goals. You're encouraged to set your own targets based on what is important to you and what challenges you face that you hope to overcome - set out goals for the month, make them attainable, and then just keep coming back to update us on your progress, help motivate others, and kick some serious *kitten*!! This group is home to Pals at all stages in their journey and there is plenty of advice, friendship and *love* to go around - If you have any questions or just need help getting moving, or you're a total veteran at this whole healthy living thing, you're welcome here! Just post whatever you like, show some support when you can, and enjoy the group
Here's what we ask:
1) As our veteran members (and newbs alike) sign onto the challenge once again, a list like the one found at the bottom of this post will start forming. This is our “goals list”. If you want to join the challenge, we ask that you copy and paste the most up-to-date list and tag your own screen name and goals onto the bottom – this is so that we can keep things moving along and no one gets left behind! (If you notice that someone's been left off, due to a high volume of posting, please incorporate their goals back into the list whenever possible.)
2) Set attainable and realistic goals! This group is dedicated to supporting healthy living, first and foremost, and that includes physical, emotional and mental health. So set goals that you know you can reach, with hard work and persistence, and find ways to celebrate small victories whenever you can. This will help you stay motivated and on track! We recommend setting some non-scale goals along with a scale goal if you are trying to lose weight – seeing progress in your fitness, your measurements and your diet is a great way to celebrate small changes in your life that make a HUGE difference. Be flexible, know that things aren't going to go perfectly as planned every day, and allow some wiggle room for a bad day here and there. We all have them!
3) Once your goals are posted, stay active and enjoy the benefits of this awesome community. Oh, and invite your 20-something friends! Let's keep this group moving, ladies!
Now for the re-cap from our December 2011 challenge... Here's the list of our goals from last month. How did your results stack up? What do you still need to work on, what did you accomplish that you hadn't expected at the outset of the month, and how are you going to improve on your goals going forward? Let it all out! It's good for ya
Ok fabulous 20-somethings... Let's get a new list going to bang out the new year. Who's going to get us moving?:huh:

How does your progress stack up against your goals from Jan 2011? How far have you come? May as well take a moment to reflect on all the good you've done yourself this past year. It will help to motivate you to kick some major *kitten* into 2012! :drinker:olymp1a- break my plateau and lose 2 kgs, burn at least 300 calories daily and complete at least 15 hours of yoga practice.
raquelena -Ok, my aim is to lose 10lbs (I'm being slightly optimistic about my Christmas restraint :P), log in EVERYTHING, and exercise EVERYDAY. I want to enter 2012 looking lean and mean
MissGolightly727(Emily)-Complete my 2 weeks of cross-training (MWF from Nov 30-Dec 9). Practice yoga at least once a week. Run twice a week. Try one new activity. Get to 150's!!
mkingraham (Megan)- Run a 5k three times a week and go for a walk once on the weekends, make healthy eating choices
eleanoreb- ripped in 30 at least 4 times a week, eat moderately and as healthy as possible over Christmas, try out new recipes! be bikini ready by December 28th when I leave for Argentina!
abby459- hit 140lbs (trying yet again!), run 100 miles this month, find a 1/2 marathon to sign up for, and keep my fruits/veggie servings at 4-5/day!!
JessYas: I have set-up a weight-lifting regimen and plan to keep it. I want to do weights starting off 2x/week and work up to 3x/week. Second, I am training for a 1/2 marathon on January 15th. If I could finish that in less than 2.5 hours, I would consider that a success! And last- I would like to lose 11lbs by my birthday in March. This means losing the 6 I gained back plus 5 more. For December (and I'm being generous to myself for the holiday) that means I need to lose 2-3lbs.
GreenHumanClay (Cynthia): Increase my running distance to 9 miles, hydrate well min 64oz per day, weight train 2-3xs/week, eat more fruits and veggies, sign up for a 15k for either late Dec. or Jan. lose 2-4 lbs ( getting close to my goal weight makes it more difficult), run+workout 5-6xsper week with running being 3-4 xs and fit in a size 4 by NYE! iffy on that one lol!!
lalonmeg000(meghan)- at least 30 min of exercise 6 days a week, No more soda! Even diet!!!, log everyday on here or my writen food journal! find something relaxing and do it for an hour a week.
believeinmagic: drink more water, eat 3 cups of veggies a day,cut back on the junk food and finish the 30DS.
jillybeanruns: 80+ ounces of water a day; strength train 3x a week; PT strength exercises 3x a week; hit 1111 miles running for the year; PR my half on the 10th (need 1:52.11 or better); eat more; sleep more; and most importantly, take measurable steps towards getting out of the South.
Ok fabulous 20-somethings... Let's get a new list going to bang out the new year. Who's going to get us moving?:huh:

OK - Well apparently I didn't post my own goals in Dec :noway: Shows you how totally out of it I was! But I DID have goals - So I'll update on those when I have a minute and get some new goals for January posted...
Let's hear yours!0 -
Ok.....well I am definately back again....I love this group!!
My goals from December were:
abby459- hit 140lbs (trying yet again!), run 100 miles this month, find a 1/2 marathon to sign up for, and keep my fruits/veggie servings at 4-5/day!!
I guess I did pretty good on my goals. I did finally break out of the 140s!!! After trying to hit that goal for about 4 months now!! Currently weighing in at 138.1 as of this week!!! I did not make my 100 miles goal, I ended with 75 miles, but with me being sick and not able to run for about 2 weeks of the month I still consider that a success. I will be trying for 100 again in January. I did sign up for my first 1/2 marathon....it will be April 28th. And I kept my fruits/veggies at at least 4 basically every day this month, minus a few days that I was really sick and couldnt eat anything at all!! Overall I consider it a good month!!
January Goals
abby459 - Run 100 miles in January. Find a 1/2 marathon training plan and actually stick to it!! And for my weight, I guess I would like to be under 135 by the months end!!0 -

Im not quite sure how to post though, as Im not sure what 'list' of goals to copy for january??

To loose at least one jean size before my summer vacation to Cabo San lucas in June.
And to run at least once a week ( on top of working out 4 days a week )
I'm glad to be friends with anyone looking for support as I too will need as much of it as possible.
Thanks everyone!0 -

Meagalayne- Complete 5 weeks of training for the ATB 30K race, running at least 3x week with long runs on Saturday upto 11 miles, lift weights 2x a week + spin with CrazyCarl on Mondays, stop binging on holidays treats to cope with stress at work, and finish the novel I started in NOLA.
Abby - Love the goals - 100miles is a VERY admirable one! Even with my all my training I doubt I'll hit 100 miles in any month this year. Looking back on past training, getting in 85miles in one month is basically my max. I know I'll be stretching myself thin with ATB training as I only wish to run 3x per week (any more than that and I risk further injuring my feet, I think) but I am aiming for 900 miles this year, I think. You're a total bada$$ to try for 100 miles in one month. Wish you the best of luck girlie! If anyone can do it... You can!
See you all very soon! Keep the goals comin' ...0 -
BUMP!! So glad to be together for 2012!0

Meg(s), and Abby - Welcome back! And WELCOME to all the newbs, as well! :drinker: Awesome goals so far from all of you! It's great to see such variety - weight loss goals, but also fitness, nutrition, maintaining healthy habits, and all kinds of other great stuff. This community is awesome for promoting all around health and happiness, and sleep, hydration, fitness, and all else are great goals to help make this a lifestyle change.
Love the "pack a lunch" goal, Meg! I bring my lunch every single day and log it the night before to help keep myself on track. It's awesome having everything planned out for the next day - really keeps me from getting too anxious about food throughout the day and I never eat anything I haven't already packed. The down side is that I don't eat as intuitively as I could, since I also ALWAYS eat EVERY bite I pack :blushing: But I know I have room for it! :laugh: I guess there's worse things in the world....
Tried to find the goals I posted for Dec but I can't seem to track 'em down... I know that I wanted to cover 30 miles in NOLA, and I managed to run/walk around 40 miles while I was there. I also broke my "farthest distance run in 1 week" streak twice over in December! The week of Dec 4th, and then again this past week, logging 27.5miles :bigsmile: So I'm happy with that! Eating, work stress, and logging was all a bit of a disaster but I am getting myself back on track! Just have to work on feeling hungry ALL the time (not sure why but I seem to be hungrier than usual) and get my beer consumption under wraps. The holidays were a great excuse to over-indulge, but they are over now and I am back on track.
The only wrench in my plans for Jan are a potential business trip to Florida, but that is yet to be seen. Will keep y'all posted on that! Happy Sunday ladies - keep rocking it! :drinker:0 -
Hey ladies,
Im also back of course I will post my goals for tomorrow until then have a great night and awesome Monday!!
Cynthia! :bigsmile:0 -
I'm new and in for January! I've gained 6lb in holiday+PMS weight in December, so I'm hoping for a quick, motivating drop back to my "regular" weight of 152, plus a few

Good morning and happy Monday everyone!
Hope y'all have a great day and kick some major *kitten*! Many of you are likely enjoying your last day of holidays before the dreaded return in reality... Unfortunately, I'm back to work today. Work and then a killer spin class with CrazyCarl tonight! :drinker: Going to kick some serious butt and leave it all on the spin class floor.
Yesterday was a rest day for me, and I got in some serious relaxing time. Read 100 pages of my book, applied for another job, had some coffee at a local diner and did some people watching. Just hung around. I also made one hell of an awesome steak dinner and prepped tons of food for the week so that I would be starting the week out right. Got a mega lunch packed for today to keep me fueled up all day long. Really pushing to give myself every opportunity to succeed in January.
Hope you ladies are doing the same!

Happy New Year Lovelies!! Which means a new month and year to make it worth our while!
I thought I had posted goals for last month but they weren't on the list so I'm not gonna worry about it. Really need to work on planning things out this year. I have talked about it before and then life gets in the way. Had a great weekend for New Year's. The boy came over Thursday night and stayed all weekend at my house. We stayed in for New Years because it was not worth being out on the streets of California. Like Cynthia said, they do not hesitate to hand out DUIs in our lovely state. But I had an amazing weekend with him and was super sad to see him go last night. Friday night we went and saw Gabriel Iglesias perform. Saturday we slept in and then battled it out over 18 holes of miniature golf, had an early dinner, picked up some beverages, and made it home early. Sunday was lazy football day. Our team got booted out of the playoffs but they didn't seem like they showed up to play anyways so they really didnt' deserve it. Hope everyone else had a great weekend.
Meag - I'm at work today too!! Apparently our owner sent out a memo that all of the business offices could remain closed today but that memo somehow missed our office. So we are here! Although I was kinda hoping to take the kids down to watch the Rose Parade but maybe next year.
Welcome Back Em, Cynthia, Megan, and Meghan!!
And welcome to all the newbs!!
QOTD - Sundays are usually spent hanging out with my family. Although my ideal way of spending Sundays would be to make meals for the week. By the time I get home its almost 7pm and if I were to make dinner, it more than likely would be ready until closer to 8pm which is about the time the kids should be getting ready for bed. So if I could knock out just a few meals on Sundays, that would make my week much easier. I could save money, time, and calories that way. Definitely something that I want to implement this month. And my cruise is coming up in a few weeks so I would kinda like to be on track so that I'm not completely thrown off when I go.

Welcome everyone!
Bethany- Sounds like you had a great New Year's celebration! That's what I do on Sunday, I plan out my meals for the entire week and then make my grocery list and hit up the store! I try and prepare anything I can in advanced. I personally buy a lot in bulk, so I will put my almonds in baggies etc. Although I don't have kiddo's like you, I know even feeding myself dinner is tiring in the week, so a nice casserol, or crockpot meal covers me for a few meals through the week! I think this is a great goal, and I know you can do it!
AFM: Today is day 1 for the Insanity program. I did better than what I thought actually, kept up pretty well on most of the exercises, a few I had to go slower in order to keep form, but overall I am proud of myself! Eatting is going well, but shockingly I am only half way into my daily calories, and I am ssssooooo ffulllll! It's amazing what a little protien and fiber can do for a person haha
My question for the day is how do y'all keep in check when going to lunch with friends? I never want to be the rabbit girl by getting a side salad, (and I feel jipped when everyone else eats their quesidilla or buffalo wings) but at the same time I don't want to keep making excuses of why that meal is okay to cheat on.
happy monday everyone! Hope y'all are enjoying your time off, if you got the day off, or work is going well today if you had to go in!0 -
Meag - glad you at least got to relax a little over the holiday....I didnt get any break from work, so I am jealous!! I love your goals and I think that you are going to find a good balance this month now the holiday craziness is over!! Hope your spin class was fun today....thats something I still want to try if I ever join a gym!!
Cynthia - I know you asked in our last thread about what my calorie burns where for my runs....as of now, my road or treadmill runs seem to average just under 100 calories for every 10 mins (which for me also happens to be about 100/mile) When I trail run I tend to average more like 120-145cals/ 10 mins. What is your HRM giving you?? I thought my first one (it was a timex) was very inaccurate but my new Garmin I trust a lot more!!
Bethany - Great goals for the month. I like that you are still trying to find your balance and fit you workouts in. Even if you only get in 1-2 per week it better then everyone whos sitting on the couch!!!
Meg - I didnt know that you were doing Insanity!! I started it too....going to mixing it in with my running this month!! As for your question....I try hard to plan ahead when I know I am eating lunch out (which is usually once a week for me) I try to eat a lower cal breakfast and a lower cal dinner. Then I can order what I want and still fit it in my calorie range. I try to order like 1/2 sandwich/salad combos so you feel like you are eating like everyone else but still 1/2 healthier. And otherwise I just watch the quantities that I eat....everything is fine in moderation!!
AFM - Well I did some research on 1/2 marathon training plans and combined 2 plans that I liked together. Made a schedule for the next 2 months, hopefully I can stick to it. I am trying to incorporate some speed work into my mix. Some of it will be on the treadmill due to my schedule, the coldness and it getting dark to early. But I am going to run outside whenever I can!! Hopefully it still works with the treadmill. Nothing else exciting here!0 -
Abby- thanks for the tips! I am going to see if we can figure out where we are eating before wednesday, so I can take a look at the menu ahead of time. And yes I am doing Insanity! What day are you on? I just did they fit test today. Good luck on your running schedule, I am sure you can stick to it! You ran a lot last month, you are going to do awesome!0
-
Hey ladies- Just a quick post because there's some very exciting activity here today! I have no time to update on me so I'll do that in the AM
Cynthia/Abby - I usually burn about 90-110 calories/mile, on the lower side if I'm running easy and the higher side if I'm racing or running hills. Depends on your level of fitness, your weight/height, and your resting HR. Also depends on the terrain. As you said, Abby, I burn WAY more when I'm running rugged trails :happy: Not that it happens often! I'm such a sucker for the speedy, zone-out-and-just-run, road runs...
Abby/Meg - I do the same! I order the 1/2 sandwich/salad combo, or I order the sandwich and just don't eat the bread to limit my carbs and calories. I'm not a big fan of bread to begin with, so it's no big loss for me. I load up on veggies and usually try to order fresh fruit or some extra veg as well. I also avoid cheeses and sauces, and ask for everything on the side. Load up on water and if you really want a treat, see if you can share a dessert and spend most of dessert time telling a fabulous story while you're "date" eats a majority of it Sneaky sneaky! hahaha Seriously, though - if you don't want salad, don't get it. You just have to make smart choices and know about major pitfalls with restaurant foods. Cooking method, cheeses, sauces, and breads tend to be the big ones to avoid IMO. And alcoholic drinks, of course, or anything other than water/club soda. Good luck and enjoy your lunch! :happy:
Bethany - Welcome back lady! :bigsmile: Missed ya! Love your goals, too -- I really hope you're able to get back at it, stay on track, and utilize whatever resources are available to you. I am very keen on seeing you succeed and I know you can do it!
To all the NEWBS - Welcome! :flowerforyou: Hope you find yourselves at home here. Please keep us updated on all your victories and struggles this month. See you all in the morning! 0 -

Hi Ladies! I'd like to join the challenge!
I'm a 24yr old MFPer who's used this fabulous community to successfully lose 60lbs and train for a half marathon. However, for the last 12 months I've let my eating be a little more 'lax' and I've really only maintained my weight (despite working out at least 3x a week, how frustrating is that?) Well, it's back to the basics for me to lose those last pesky 15-20lbs that will take my BMI into the solidly 'healthy range.'
My goal for January will be to lose 8lbs, not eat the 2-3 hours before I go to sleep, say 'no' to processed foods and desserts (i.e., plan/pack my meals in advance, stick to a healthy 1600ish calorie diet, save my glass or beer/wine for the weekend) and do weight/circuit training at least 3 days a week. Right now I have P90 and I hope to move on to P90x or crossfit shortly.
PS - It sounds like there are a lot of runners and yogis in the group. I love that I'm in shape now to do both regularly!

Hey Ladies,
Finally I can post missed you all!!
My goals for December were: GreenHumanClay (Cynthia): Increase my running distance to 9 miles, hydrate well min 64oz per day, weight train 2-3xs/week, eat more fruits and veggies, sign up for a 15k for either late Dec. or Jan. lose 2-4 lbs ( getting close to my goal weight makes it more difficult), run+workout 5-6xsper week with running being 3-4 xs and fit in a size 4 by NYE! iffy on that one lol!!
I did increase my running to 9 miles actually 10 accidentally so that was a major success! Been drinking my water regularly and more of it, weight trained 3-4 xs/per week, the fruits and veggies was great some days and okay other days but did manage to eat at least 2-3 pieces everyday! Didn't sign up for a 15K last month (did run 10 miles for free though ) but but did sign up for a half marathon today! Lost 2 pounds and have stayed at the loss for a few weeks 
upped my workouts this past month big time exercised twice some days since I did have the time to. Running took a back seat since I was ending bootcamp and had started Yoga with a two week overlap so running was neglected for two weeks but have been running again 3 days out of the week and definitely plan to stick to that! I was able to fit in a size 4 from target woohoo hope it runs true to size and not extra roomy either way they fit nicely and fit into 26's from Forever 21 not sure what that converts to in Jr/womens sizes my guess 4-5.
My goals for January are to train for my 1/2 marathon (March17th), continue weight training 3xs/week if possible fit in some stairs (hill) or other random workouts (hiking, mt. biking), keep hydrating properly, eat more protein, sleep more, give myself a full R&R day! Be more positive in my daily life/work life! Lose 2 pounds or lose some inches overall!

AFM had a good day relaxing, ran this am 8 miles and did some weight training as far as planning my meals I usually cook double portions for dinner and save the other half for lunch leftovers but I don't normally cook Sunday for the whole week partially because Im lazy and partially because I get bored with food! But I was thinking of investing in a crockpot cause you can't go wrong with that! I buy my groceries Sat. and plan for 4-5 dinners that will also be lunch leftovers, ex. Monday Chicken/veggies, Tuesday Indian food and quinoa, Wed. we have meeting so thats my lazy day i will make PB sandwich you can never go wrong with that lol or a pre-made low sodium veggie burger those are delicious!! I buy plenty of fruit and recently started buying sweet potatoes again! Anyways enough about my food lol Im super excited i singed up for a 1/2 Marathon for this coming St.Pattys day and plan to train next week meeting with a friend seasoned runner to tweak a general plan that works for me, not setting a goal of time really since Im not sure yet what it would look like but Im sure I will closer to the time I run 13 miles but mainly want to focus on finishing, enjoying it, getting a medal!! Enough about me!!
Meg If I eat with friends I usually order what Abby and Meag suggested and go for a 1/2 sandwich/soup vs salad I like soups better but the sodium is killer :grumble: , or exercise more that day have a low cal breakfast as Abby suggested and get, ex. the quesadilla with no sour cream skip the guacamole and maybe just eat half and save half for dinner but honestly I check all the restaurant nutrition charts before going (if they have one) and know before hand what I going to order, or Like Meag said make smart choices and for sure order water!! Good luck on Insanity le us know how it goes!!
Abby I think i might be burning more that what I account for but I haven't been able to wear my new HRM due to some bad chaffing
but hopefully later this week i will and get a more accurate count for what I burn cause i always feel hungry lol. as far as training plans I will be starting mine next week any tips send them my way and vice versa!! Good luck with your plan!!
Meag Good job on kicking some major *kitten* with those spin classes I have yet to try one but for sure on my "bucket list" nice job reading 100 pages I always try and read and eventually fall asleep most of the time, also hows the job searching coming along, looking for a job is a job in it of it self!! good luck getting something sooner rather than later!! :happy:
Bethany How was the Gabriel Iglesias show i wanted to see him and a was actually looking for tickets to purchase at the Improve but they were cheapest 159 I think way over my budget!! Glad you had a great time you deserve it!! :bigsmile:
Emily How exciting match.com woohoo you go girl let us know how the date goes and hope he's a cutie but most important a gentleman and have a sense of humor and cute lol!! have fun!!
Thats it for ladies until tomorrow have a great night and Terrific Tuesday!! Cynthia! :bigsmile: :yawn:0
