May weight loss challenge
 
Well, I am ready to continue to challenge myself in May. I am going to keep my exercise goal 5x or more per week this month and hopefully it will continue to show in my weight loss. I am starting this month 4 lbs less than last month.

Let's go May!

Anyone else want to share their goals?

I think my goal this month will be to excercis at least 3x or more per week. I didn't go to the gym in months. Maybe my goal should be actually going to the gym at all..

I just started yesterday at 368 pounds. I will settle for nothing less than a 20 pound loss this month. I am doing low carb, grain free, paleo diet, trying to walk five miles or more every other day.

I don't know how many months I've had this same goal, but I remain determined to break this 220 plateau. I've seen a number below that once now so I must be getting close.

Absolutely!

Goal #1 - survive my 44th birthday on the 5th...yes...cinco de mayo. Tough one, as I want mexican food and margaritas!

Goal #2 - run my first 5k on Mother's Day! AACK!

Goal #3 - continue my exercising, 5x a week. Up the cardio this month to 40, 45 minutes a day.

Goal #4 - See the wretched scale move DOWN...

My goal is to lose at least 4 lbs this month. I am trying to make a realist goal for myself. I think that I can reach this goal.

My goals are:

(1) Maintain my weight for the entire month; 5/26 will mark 1 month from my surgery and I can begin exercising with intent again.

(2) Walk every day as a therapeutic measure.

Hi, ladies,

I'm new here. My May goals are to exercise 3x per week, work up to a good 45 minutes of cardio on those days and try to lose 5 lbs this month. I was making great progress at the gym Jan-Feb and fell off the wagon in March and April. It is so easy to come up with some excuse to not go. Not anymore! This month will be different.

ange82much 05-02-2010 08:44 PM

I"m new too.
My goals are to be back at 123lb by end of month (i know i'll put a few lbs on during last week and this week as i'm in a hotel, eating out at conference dinners with set menus etc every meal so really hard to control) No scales here either so i don't know what the damage is til week after next.

And my broken foot should be ready to start moving in two weeks, so by the end of May i want to be doing at least 3 Spin or Pump classes per week.

PeanutsMom704 05-02-2010 09:07 PM

I'm going to make my daily goal the same things I have for the Points challenge:

1200-1500 healthy calories
30 minutes activity
100 oz water

No scale goal for me this month, I am going stay on plan as much as I can and whatever happens, happens.

yankeegirl 05-02-2010 09:27 PM

My goal this month is to walk 4x a week (30 minutes) and lose 5 pounds this month. I am hoping that by putting it in writing and out to the world I will do it!

newleaf123 05-04-2010 09:15 AM

If I stick with my goal, I'm looking to be at 162.2 at the end of the month. I was at 158.4 this morning (!!). So, I'm updating my goal to be 158.4 at the end of the month, or below.

So far so good with the daily therapeutic walk.

Because I will be on vacation, the last week of May, I have goals for the next three weeks:

Weight goal: 132 (Currently, I am around 136, give or take .5 lb)

Exercise goals: Get as fit as possible

1) Run 4x a week and build up to 5 mile runs (now at 4 miles)
2) Walk and bike as much as I can (leisurely exercise)
3) Do some sort of strength training every day
4) Do some sort of interval work once a week (eek, I'm afraid)

The fitness goal is most important. My vacation will be strenuous and require a lot of endurance b/c it's a dance music festival where I have the option to dance 12 hours a day for 3 straight days. I want to have as much fun as I can & being in shape will help that.

I'm nervous about my 3 week exercise blitz. I'm not sure I can make real gains in 3 weeks, but I'm going to try.

newleaf123 05-04-2010 10:03 AM

Wow, MotivatedChickie what a great vacation! Definitely go for it these 3 weeks, just don't overdo it so you hurt yourself and can't enjoy the vacation...
