Hey FABULOUS 20-somethings! Back again with yet another monthly challenge... The 17th (!!) installment! Can you believe we've come this far together :wink: And it still feels like such a honeymoon each and every day :bigsmile:

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 16 challenges 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 :flowerforyou:

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 our January re-cap... January is always a hectic and busy month for those of us wanting to get back on track and set the bar for the new year and what we hope to achieve. We all set some some pretty awesome goals - listed below for ease of reference - so how did you do? How does your progress stack up? What goals are you going to revisit in February and what did you pursue or achieve that you had not set out to accomplish at the beginning of the month? Let's hear it all!

Remember - each month (day, week, month, year, etc) is exactly what you make of it. Set goals for yourself and make them attainable, but remember that you will get from this month what you put into it and that setting expectations on what you will and can achieve and working towards them every day will help to make your journey that much more fulfilling. So challenge yourself this short month! You've got 4 weeks - Make them count! :bigsmile:

Much love, best of luck, and kick some *kitten* Pals! Let the goal-writing begin! :drinker:

    Some fabulous goals already pals! Love the creativity :bigsmile: I've got a hellish day today and loads to do before hitting the road to work, so I will update with my own progress and goals later tonight...

    Been up since 5am and already hit the gym for some cross training and a little lifting. Not a bad workout in 50 minutes flat. When that's all the time I've got, that's just how it's gotta be!

    Adam - HOW do you have time for all that exercising? Geez! Talk about lofty/crazy goals. Make sure you're taking time to recover. Overtraining --> injury faster than you know :wink:

    Welcome to all the other newbs :flowerforyou: Where are my VETS at?!?! Post your goals, ladies! We need ya back!

    Allie - Happy to have your return on the thread, lady :bigsmile: Great goals and I know you'll smash your 1/2!
    Skreal - GREAT goals! Eating all your target calories and not living a life of deprivation is SO the way to go! I've lost about 75lbs and have kept it off with that attitude. Starving yourself is both unnecessary and totally cruel. If you burn 'em, you've earned em, and your body needs the calories to fuel your awesome workouts!

    Eek - Better run. Have a great Feb 1st Pals! :heart:

    ~lilieslosinit- I have one goal that is really important to me. I want to log everything, every day. I'm terrible at holding myself accountable. Other goals include: drinking 8 glasses of water, getting down to 160, and exercising 5 days per week.

    My goal from January was:
    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!!


    I did make my 100 mile goal!!! Finishing the month with 100.5 miles run, if counting elliptical and one bike ride, I completed 125.75 miles in all last month!! I am very happy with that!! I did find a training plan and stuck to it 95% of the time, with only changing rest days when I was hurting. I did not get to 135 :( I am currently at 136.9lbs. Hoping to still get under 135 by vacation time though!!

    My January 2012 goals were: lose 10lbs, log all food/exercise on MFP, and stick to cardio classes I registered for at the gym.... and overall January was a success!! I lost 8.5lbs (not quite to my goal, but my husband and I both had bdays this month and we we went out for dinner/drinks), I have logged for 35 days straight now, and as far as sticking to the classes... I go everyday and then some, absolutely love the classes and the people that go!

  • Hey Ladies! Happy February! I'm so happy too announce that I just got a family membership to the YMCA, so I will be able to hit the gym as often as I like now! I am also teaming up with my mother-in-law and joining TOPS [Taking Off Pounds Sensibly] with her, shes been a member for 4 years now and she invited me along with her to a meeting and I loved it! Sounds like a blast! In January I lost 12lbs and 4inches from my hips and 2 from my waist. I'm really working hard and still eating all my calories. I'm really looking forward to see what this month brings and proud of myself that I've stuck with it this long, longest I ever have! 2012 will be my year!

    Heya ladies and gents! it's Feb 2nd and I still haven't posted goals... This week has been nuts! Here's my quick progress update and goals for February. Hope that tonight I can get to responding to some of you lovelies and your great new goals for this month. You're all a freaking inspiration! :bigsmile:

    My January goals were....
    Meagalayne- Complete 5 weeks of training for the ATB 30K race, running at least 3x week with long runs on Saturday up to 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.

    Progress on these: I did complete all 5 weeks of training, ran at 3x per week every week up to 12+ miles (!!), lifted weights 2x per week and made it to spin for 4 of the 5 weeks, due to some scheduling issues and emergencies, so that was a win. I didn't binge hardly at all and have done a very good job coping with stress, despite how horrible the 3rd week in January turned out to be. AND I finished my novel with plenty of time to spare! :bigsmile: So all in all a great month. February is looking VERY busy and I am leaving in 7 days on another little trip, so my goals are going to be very reasonable.

    ~Allie7383- PR in my Disney Half Marathon, be under 145, log 5 days a week and drink at least 8 glasses of water every day.
    ~Skreal89 - break the 210 mark for the first time in 3 years; run 4 miles without a walking break; burn 6000 calories a week working out; eat all of my daily calories instead of eating low and being hungry all the time.

    ~Meagalayne- Complete 4 more weeks of ATB training (modified for my travel schedule) including a long run up to 14miles; weight train 2x per week + spin with CrazyCarl on Mondays; Try hot yoga; No weigh-ins after Feb 3rd until post ATB; allow myself to indulge while in Austin, but not to completely derail my progress with food and emotional eating; Start/Finish another novel on vacation.

    I think this is a good balance of goals - Trips are always an easy way to derail the progress you've made so I am hoping that I can keep my eating under control. Just need to remember that treats are always good - in moderation! I am sure I'll be walking, running, biking, etc a lot, so as long as I can keep my portions reasonable, I should be ok!

    Have a great Thursday, pals! It's nearly the weekend :drinker:

    Yay! It's my anniversarymonth :) My goals for january were: to drink more water, do Insanity 6 days a week, pack my lunches, and clean out my car once a week. I did AWESOME! I only missed 3 days of insanity the entire month, and had 2 cheat days of food, but I didn't not workout, and cheat on food on the same days if that makes sense. I have been drink more water, no soda, but still having my morning cup of joe :) and my car is clean! Which makes me a less stressed being lol

    for February: Finish up Insanity, only 4.5 more weeks! Continue eating healthy by grocery shopping 1x/week so I can get fresh fruits and veggies. Do 1 thing this month that is fun, for me just because I am worth it (ie, a new shirt, a pedi, massage etc)

    GreenHumanClay (Cynthia) Continue to train for my 1/2, increase h20, 1-2 days of R&R, eat less than 10% of boxed food items, lose 2 pounds, weight train 3xs/week, sleep more, focus and stay on top of my current school program and enjoy this month more than last!!
    ~Meagalayne- Complete 4 more weeks of ATB training (modified for my travel schedule) including a long run up to 14miles; weight train 2x per week + spin with CrazyCarl on Mondays; Try hot yoga; No weigh-ins after Feb 3rd until post ATB; allow myself to indulge while in Austin, but not to completely derail my progress with food and emotional eating; Start/Finish another novel on vacation.
    ~jublum- workout 4-5 days a week. each of those days include cardio, but each day i need to incorporate 15-20 of strength training which I have been lacking in. Also, to stay on tracking and meet my calorie goal everyday!
    ~lalonmeg000 (meghan) Finish up Insanity, only 4.5 more weeks! Continue eating healthy by grocery shopping 1x/week so I can get fresh fruits and veggies. Do 1 thing this month that is fun, for me just because I am worth it (ie, a new shirt, a pedi, massage etc)
    ~KCrandi-I'd like to fit into size 10 Jeans. BUT the goal I'm setting is to Work out atleast once everyday, as well as drink atleast 8 glasses of water/day.
