????How Is Everyone Doing?????

??????????????????

I have a few boards related to goals on Pinterest, one particularly for things I want to accomplish, new hobbies I want to try, etc. I also keep a "goal journal" where I can write in more depth about things that motivate me and what new actions I want to take. Now my next goal is to actually start DOING stuff and not just writing about what I want to do!

Amazing Team:

Goal boards can be digital or analogue!!!

As long as you are comfortable with the medium and it feels relatively low stress to make

AKA Pinterest for me ?

I set a goal of 10lbs and lost 9. Close enough that I’m not bummed out.

Thank you to our wonderful hostess @GreenTealael for another wonderful month!! Bring on May ???

Surgery: VSG (just a little over 5 months post op, still losing...)

Starting weight: 146.4

Goals: Get to 135 lbs (which would mean a 100 lbs loss for me since October!) && increase strength training time/amount. Right now I do maybe 20-30 mins twice a week, I want to do more.

I almost made it. Almost.

Wanted to reach 135 lbs, but got down to 136.5 instead. Still, I lost 10.4 lbs for the calendar month of April, and I am totally fine with that ?.

I didn't increase my strength training regularly this month either. There were a handful of times I went longer than 30 mins, but that was it. I really hate strength training ?.

Thanks again @GreenTealael for doing these ♥️♥️♥️♥️

P.S. I reached my 6 month milestone on the 24th of this month! Still amazed at how fast it all went by. My post about it here:

May 1st.

SW- 148.2

GW- ? - Trying for a 5lb wt. loss this month. I like to aim low, then if I lose more, yea!

Goals- Increase jogging to 1-1/2 miles. Increase strength training to 3x per week for 30 minutes.

I plan to go outside at lunch break today.

Good luck everyone with our new challenge.

Amazing Amazing Amazing Everyone!

As always thanks for Participating...

Incentives heading your way...

Thanks for Participating! head over to May's challenge for more fun!

I'm sorry. Squeaking in here. I feel like a failure. I never posted. I started at 296 and my goal was 280.

I'm 9 weeks out and have lost 48 pounds, but only 6 the last month.

I'm sorry, I'm not able to do the exercises like the ones posted. Not yet, at least.

In suffering from gout right now and waiting for dispatch health to come look at it this afternoon. For now I can't even walk without pain.

Congrats to everyone losing this month!

I guess 6 pounds is not a failure. I just expected more and was seriously scared I may not lose one more pound.

But I have never in my life lost 48 pounds. I would be happy with 6 pounds a month, because that's 72 pounds in one year and could get me closer to 180.

Thanks for the positive encouragement!
