Hi! I would like to join as well! We have 2 wedding coming up in April so this is a perfect challenge for me.
1. Nutrition goals would be to stay between 1200 and 1400 calories per day. Weigh and measure everything and wean myself off of most sugars and treats (dark chocolate is my treat for a good day..but just 1 piece.
2. Fitness goals would be to weight train 3 days a week and maintain my 10k steps a day possibly upping to 12k by March.In addition, running 3 days a week as well with at least one weekly run being 4 miles or more.
3. My measurements most recently were 42-34-42 and I weigh 179 (that includes my Christmas 2 pound weight gain) LOL My calves are 15 and my thighs 25.5. I will try to post a pic by the 1st. Thanks for the invite!1 -
I would like to join in. I need to get moving and this challenge sounds great.
1. Nutrition goals - be more consistent in recording what I am eating. Less processed foods and drink more water/green tea.
2. Fitness goals - for January - at least 30-45 minutes of exercise four times a week. Then increase it as I go.
3. Measurements - I'll plug everything in tomorrow morning.
Looking forward to this!1 -
Happy to have you here!0

Count me in - I actually posted something individually earlier in the day (wish I had seen this first) my birthday is March 30th and I turn 50-so a good 90 day marker
Unfortunately, 2016 was a year of illness and a new injury on top of an old one (back and abdominal) which led to one very unhealthy body. In October I found I couldn't climb 3 flights of stairs without stopping to catch my breath, ouch.
Today's stats (90 day goals are in parenthesis)
blood pressure: 150/82 (120/70)
Rest Pulse 80 bpm (70)
WT 151 lbs (140)
Waist 31.5 inches (28)
brisk walk/hills - cannot go 1/2 hour without stopping to catch my breath (1 hour without stopping)
Weights I can lift 4lbs 1set 10reps (10lbs 2sets 12 reps)
The Plan
CARDIO: Since most of my outdoor exercise will be in the woods (and no way to track miles) I will track time spent on cardio - 1st mini goal is to go 30 minutes without stopping and progress from there.
WEIGHTS: 3x per week I will add weights to my morning physical therapy exercises.
OTHER: Add yoga and indoor biking - need to dig bike out of cluttered garage
The old back injury (car accident 30 years ago) has kept me very timid about pushing myself because I tend to get enthusiastic and overdo it and it's one step forward and 2 steps back. So slow and steady will be my pace-but please push me if I seem to be stuck in a rut.
TODAY:
30 minutes snow shoeing - lucky me, I live next to a hilly wooded lot (stopped to catch my breath a few times) saw a lot of tracks - now I need to find out what else is walking in the woods around me
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

I do want to join the challenge. I need help. I have lost 135 pounds. It was more, but I started going backwards. I don't really know what triggered it, but it must stop. My life depends on it. I want to start eating healthy again. I have arthritis so some days I can't walk very much, but I still do it when I can. I swim in the summer, but right now it is too cold. And no I can't afford the pool. So, in the morning I will record my weight, etc. and start again. I know I can do this. 6 -
Hi. Glad to have found this Post. I think a 3 month challenge is doable for me. I've been on the weight loss roller coaster for many, many years.
Nutriction Goals - My nutrition goal is to eat fresher, healthier and less processed food.
Fitness Goals - Because of knee, feet and asthma issues, I find it hard to walk very far or for great lengths of time but I am going to start with small distances..maybe half a kilometre every couple of days and build from there.
Weight - Oh dear... my starting weight is 121.4 kilos (shudder).
Here I go!!1 -
This is a great challenge for me as I turn 50 in 6 weeks and we will be going South on April 1st so a Transformation Challenge is just what I need.
1. Nutrition Goals: Keep calories in the 1300 range while using portion control, avoiding sugar and reducing carbs
2. Fitness Goals: Maintaining my step count to 10,000 while trying to work through a recent knee injury starting with physio and strengthening exercises. For cardio, walking or snowshoeing 30 minutes (starting every other day working up to every day as my knee improves)
3. Stats:
- weight: 217.4
- msmts: 45-42-44
For health reason my main concern is my waistline, so hopefully as the weight comes off I will see a big change there.
Looking forward 2017!0 -

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I really love all the introductions. Very inspiring.
Introduce yourself: My name is Shay I am 42 years old Mom of 3 great kids. 2016 was very difficult for me. My husband was deployed for 9 month. Challenging to say the least.

Start, participate every day and finish after the 90 days.4 -
Happy New Year!!
Introduction: My name is Amy and I am 48 years old, mom of 2 kids, live in a small town in New Mexico. I've been at this since Feb last year and have lost about 65 lbs, want to lose 20 more. I have been on a 2 week vacation oversees (Australia) visiting my in-laws for Christmas and have no doubt I gained, didn't manage to exercise much there for a variety of reasons and my sugar intake was high because Christmas.
Nutrition goals: Main one is to control the sugar. I am going to limit added sugar to 20g/day. I would like to have my weekly average gross calories ~<1500.
Fitness goals: Exercise 6 days a week, walk 2 miles on my "off day". 2 days-running, 2 days-swimming, 2-days weight training. This will be my biggest challenge.

Hello, and happy new year!
I'm Kate, and I'd like to join. I recently turned 35, and I am looking to get back in shape after gaining weight during the first half of my thirties.
Nutrition goals: Calorie-wise, stay between 1200 and maintenance level each day. Track my meals consistently.
Fitness goals: Work out 6 days per week, at least 20 minutes per day. I often fall into an "all or nothing" trap, with infrequent longer workouts. My goal for the next three months is to focus on consistency, even if each workout isn't very long or very intense.
Stats: As of this morning, I weighed 171.3 pounds, at 5'6.5". By the end of this challenge, I would like to weigh 157 pounds, which would put me in the healthy BMI range.
Good luck, everyone! We can do this 2 -

Awesome job! Day 1 well done!!!2 -
I walked outside and got my 10k steps in (first time in 3 days so this group is helping already!).I only ate 2 meals but we had ham for New Years so I did get all my water in (another win!) I did however go over my calories since I treated myself to ice cream to celebrate a Packer win! I may readjust my calorie deficit so it is easier for me to stay on target. Good luck all....we can do this it's a NEW YEAR!4

Hi all,
Amazing to do this transformation together! I lost some weight last year but it has stagnated.. I want to lose more weight (ultimate goal 60 kilo's). I want to do this the healthy way and I want the result to endure, so I am not restricting myself too much.
1. Nutrition: staying around 1600 kcal each day, 40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fat. I am trying not to eat any processed foods anymore and no added sugar.
2. Exercises: I started running again with a half marathon distance as goal on April 1st. I will train for this 4-5 times a week. Besides that I will doing weighttraining at least 4 times a week.
3. At the moment I weigh 70.2 kilo's. I will only weigh myself again once a week.
I wish everyone the best of luck!2
