New Group?

[MBearMakes]

Would any of you be interested in a group for sharing health-improvement goals and working on them together (or really, encouraging each other in the journey to better health).

This has nothing to do with the New Year, but I have some health and fitness goals that I'm starting to work on right now. I was trying to figure out various ways to create some structure around that, and I thought "Who else would understand why I spend my free time sitting in a chair making things?"

If you're interested, let me know and I'll start a group. Also, give me your ideas for a clever name, otherwise it will end up being called, "Crafters Working on Health Goals" or something similarly boring!

Thanks!

MBearMakes I would be interested in a group like this! Name suggestion, Move it or loose it. Just being silly 😜

This would be a great group to start. I sit entirely too much. At a desk at work then stitching in the evening. Kathy7661 - I like that name.

I would be interested. We were just having a discussion in another group about increasing our calcium intake without dairy. I could see a group having different health topics - health goals, exercise, diet (not just weight loss diet), supplements, etc.

I also mean to start exercising more "tomorrow," and would join such a group. I wonder if a general accountability group would benefit those who wish to get rid of clutter, become more organized, learn a foreign language or other such goals.

Count me in! I need this badly.

I would love to join a group like this! Here are some possible names:

Goal Setters
Goal Seekers
Goal Planners
Goal Trackers
Life Goals

[Hellokitten]

Good ideas but Health or a similar word needs to be added or people will just automatically think it is for crafting goals.

[Cablegrrl]

Ah, good point, Hellokitten ! Maybe Healthy Crafters...?

[MBearMakes]

Hello, All! I like the ideas of expanding it to all sorts of goals, not just health. I like all of the names that Hellokitten , Cablegrrl and Kathy7661 suggested. They got me thinking, what do you think of Encouraging Crafters or Motivating Makers? Maybe too alliterative, but encouraging each other is what I'm hoping for.

[Hellokitten]

It's good. Then you would have various threads or subcategories of areas of emphasis, such as health goals, diet goals, exercise goals, new skills goals, mental motivation, other motivation? What else?

[Cablegrrl]

I like Motivating Makers too!! I'm all about awesome alliteration!!

[Hellokitten]

I like it - it's catchy.

[MBearMakes]

Thanks for all the input! Motivating Makers it is! I will set up the group sometime today, then! Yay!

[MBearMakes]

Okay, I set it up! If you have any suggestions, just go ahead and make them in the group. I'll be posting about my goals later. Thanks again!
