1st May! New Month, New Start! What are your May goals?

Great Goals-- Now on to making them happen!! I know you can all do it! If you ever feel down and out~~ Read them all over again!!! It really does make a difference

My May Goals--

1. To get back into the gym!!!
2. Eat less processed junk-( :explode: evil vending machine)
3. Get outside and play with the kids... this burns calories as well as increase the HAPPY!!

Keep rolling on.... :flowerforyou:

My goals are to continue eating under my calorie goals.. 2. drink 8 to 10 glasses of water.. 3. workout everyday and enjoy life because we only live once..

Drink 8-10 glasses of water per day - I'm terrible about water intake!

Actually lose weight, even if only 1 lb, since I haven't lost anything in over 6 weeks.

:flowerforyou:

May goals...(which I have saved the list as my background picture on my phone so I see it all day everyday)

-Workout 5 times a week (combination of running and 30 Day Shred)
-Log onto MFP every single day
-NO going over calories
-Fit into 1 outfit from "the pile" (the pile is a few items that I could probably get away with wearing but are slightly too snug for my liking)

My classes start again in June, so I want to make some serious progress in May. Not only lose weight and have visible changes, but a solid schedule or routine that will be easy to maintain once classes do start.

Hi All,

After a naughty April, I want a clean May! My May goals are:

1. One cheat day per week.
2. Log ALL food and exercise.
3. Exercise 4 times per week for a FULL hour.
4. One weigh in per week.
5. Stay under my calorie goal every day (except my cheat day).

I love your goals! They are perfect for me except that I may not exercise for a full hour each time. I am just starting off so I am gonna shoot for 30 minutes (at least) each session. My husband and I are starting the 30D Shred by Jillian Michaels so even with me modifying I will still be doing better than I am now, which is nothing. LOL

My goal for this month is to watch my "weekend cheats" .... to work out 3 X per week and to lose 5 lbs.

good luck to everyone with their own goals

I like this! Echoing what @mhoover86 said.

Great goals guys! I've come up with several I'd like to accomplish this month:

1. Get in AT LEAST 200 hours of cardio per week
2. Continue doing Jillian’s 30 Day Shred (every other day)--only on day one
3. Stay under my calorie goal of 1450 per day
4. Eat more fresh/raw fruit and vegetables
5. Incorporate more fruits and veggies at every meal
6. Drink 100 ounces of water per day
7. Track EVERYTHING I put in my mouth
8. Lose 5 pounds

I will probably think of more but that's what I have for now :happy:

I want to get in more free weights this month I have just started lifting with free weights and so far so good (did machines at gym before)

less cardo more strength is my main goal of the month

That should have said 200 "MINUTES" of cardio per week. 200 hours of cardio per week would be a little ambitious. But I guess I could have said 178 hours per week since hopefully I'll have some kind of cardio activity going on at all times

178 is still rather ambitious, since there are only 168 hours in a week...

May Goals:
~ Log-in to this site everyday & track calories
~ Work-out at least 5x a week
~ Drink water everyday
~ Limit my Diet Coke
~ Get at least 5 - 6 hours of sleep every night

Just 1 day at a time ...

1) log everything
2) at least an hour of walking each day
3) lose 10 pounds
4) no junk!! (except a 69 kcal milky bar - if I lose that week)
5) 8 hours of sleep (less than 6 increases your hunger by 15%)
6) drink at least 6 glasses of water a day (I hate the stuff hahah!!)
:) my new month resolutions !!xx

Get them size 12's fittin' better...and if I happen to need to go down to a size 10 I wouldn't complain!!

My goal for May is reach my fat loss goal of 184 lbs. I intend to do this by:

*Reaching my macro nutrient goals
*Eating more fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts
*Avoiding processed foods
*Limiting dairy (I'm addicted to Chobani)
*Continuing the cardio workouts
*Incorporating more resistance training

Looking forward to June when I will start concentrating on muscle tone and development after having reached my desired weight goal.

Ended the month at 189.2 lbs, which is down about 6 lbs for the month - approximately 1/2 of my goal. However, still a success. I did have about four days where I grossly exceeded my calorie needs - travel, graduations, holidays are all difficult. I found out that it is not enough to take healthy foods with me on a trip - I must also plan each meal, otherwise I will "graze" and over eat. It is also rather difficult to exercise normally when traveling. I'll have to work on this.

*Reaching macro nutrient goals - I did really well in this area.

*Eating more fruits, veggies, legumes, and nuts - This was also an area of improvement. I'm finding that my cravings for red meat are subsiding somewhat. Strangely, my taste for chocolate has increased. This seems odd for a guy that has never been a big fan of chocolate.

*Avoiding processed foods - Another successful area. Getting better at eating fresh and raw.

*Limiting dairy - Only fair success here. I've limited Chobani w/fruit, but I've started including more cheeses.

*Continuing cardio workouts - Overall an area of strong improvement. I've had very few days that did not incorporate a cardio workout of some type.

*Incorporate more resistance training - Utter and complete failure, which is a heavy contributor to my lack of attainment of my weight loss goal. I know I must work out (especially the upper body) if I am to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but it seems so pointless and like I am going no where when doing this. Maybe a PT would help, I dunno. Sometimes someone nagging me gets me going.

Thoughts and advice are welcomed. I'll post new goals in a June thread.
