I'm in... I'm Angela, I'm trying to get back to where I was 3 years ago, I was fit, strong, and at my goal weight, I got married, fell off track, got pregnant and had my 4th child, and gained it all back, now I'm working to lose it again.

Hi! I'd like to join this challenge.
I have been putting off working out everyday because I recently started my own business from home and always feel like I should be doing more of that instead of working out.
I have a different mind set this and am am ready to get this weight off. I have 70 pounds to lose. I started at 210 and weight in today at 205.5 so I'm happy I lost a few pounds.
I can't measure myself until tomorrow when my measuring body tape arrives from amazon.
By March I'm hoping for 30 pounds to be gone. I know that's a bit aggressive, but I'm going for it. I lost 30 pounds in 3 months before by only walking and eating extremely clean. So it can be done. I have a cruise coming up in 3 weeks and I'm also hoping to see some results by then as well! Cheers to a healthy new us!4 -

Hi all!
I think this might be the thing to get me motivated again.
About me: I started working out about a year ago when I realized my belly and chest were bobbing up and down when running stairs. I started doing Bodyweight training once a day, but have been slacking the past 2 month. So personal crisis' are hitting me hard and I need to get back on track.
I currently weigh about 135pds/67.4kg.
Lost 8 pounds over the last 3 weeks and need to gain them back. I struggle eating at maintenance. So my goals:
Eat my maintenance 2100kcal +200 until I have my 143pds back. Workout 5-7day/week again and and increase my sets from 3 sets 7 reps to 4 / 10.
Let s do this 2 -

Its always better to do this in a supportive community. I am in!
My goals for this upcoming 90 days is to start with an Elimination Diet. I have been struggling with belly issues for the past few months and need to resolve this pain in my gut.
I plan to eliminate Gluten, Soy, Peanuts, Sugar, Alcohol, Coffee, and Dairy (ugh).
I also plan to run a half marathon in March so exercise goals include:
Running at least 4-5 days a week
Yoga & weight training twice a week
I currently weigh 167, 40" around the belly (eaks) and 26 BMI so definitely lots of room for improvement.
My goal is to lose 20 pounds and get my BMI in the healthy range.
Bravo to all that are on board and look forward to hearing the success stories.3 -
Happy New Year everyone.
I'm almost 46 and have been up and down from my ideal weight more times than I can remember (more up than down). I love the idea of belonging to a group of motivated people to share my new found focus with. As I've got older I find it harder to loose weight, but have more and more reasons for my health that I do, so my aim this year is to loose the extra pounds and develop a sustainable healthy active lifestyle to keep me going! Hoping to pic up lots of inspiration on the way.
1. Nutrition Goals: Keep calories around 1500. And eat balanced diet ( I have tried many unbalanced diets with various results) avoiding too much processed or sugar. And drink 1800ml water - it really does make a difference.
2. Fitness Goals: make myself proud to own my Fitbit , and reach my 10k steps a day! And restart my HIIT running (treadmill) 3x a week to start.
3. Stats:
- start weight: 163.5lbs
- Weekly target loss goal: 1 - 1.5lb
- long term goal weight: 149lbs
There. I'm looking forward to sharing the next few months and hearing people's success stories and best advice along the way.

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.
Measurements: I will report weight and measurements tomorrow. I haven't weighed myself today, was starting tomorrow. I am 5'8", wear M/L top, pant size 12.
Ok, measurements (goals in parenthesis):
Weight: 185.5
Chest: 42.5
Waist: 37.5
Hips: 45
Thigh: 22.5
Calf: 15.5
Goal weight for challenge: 168.5
I won't put goals for my measurements because I find those go down somewhat randomly.2 -
I'm excited to challenge myself over the next 90 days with all of you. I'm a 44 year old mother of 1 and wife. I've put on so much weight over the past 2 years and have gotten way off track. I want to make reasonable but challenging goals for myself. I didn't put the weight on overnight and I don't expect it to come off overnight either. It's going to take dedication, hard work, preparation and will power.
Nutrition goals for this 90 days-Clean eating with meal prepping (lean turkey, chicken and white fish, good green veggies), no alcohol, no eating out, no sugar, lower dairy intake, 1 gallon of water per day-no exceptions
Fitness goals for 90 days – Beginning with cardio to get me back on track, then working up to adding weight training-Upper, lower, full body, upper then lower--2 days of weight training rest but staying active with cardio, bike riding, walking, etc.
Beginner stats – measurements, weight and/or pics – I will update stats tomorrow morning

Hi all, I would like to join in too.
Introduction: My name is Cindy, age 52. I joined MFP 5 years ago now and roller-coasted since. At the time I was 50 lbs more than now and had just quit smoking after 30 years plus a sedentary lifestyle & was basically forced by the ensuing medical issues. I have not been active on the boards in a couple of years and am hoping that some new active friends and public postings will motivate me once again. Anyone, feel free to add me.
Nutrition goals for this 90 days: This is generally my failure. I LOVE to eat. So goals are: Severely limit refined carbs, green smoothies once a day for a meal replacement, and a vegetarian day once every 3. No more than 500+/or- net 1500 calories per day. I find that If I stick to this, I have success.
Fitness goals for 90 days – My issues here tend to be over-doing not under. My plan is to try and stick to my spring HM/late summer HIM training plan and No MORE. More = injury, I must remember that.
Beginner stats – Current 5' 6" tall and muscular 175.5 lbs this am. What is truly unacceptable is my stomach at 36" which is where I'm holding all my fat.
Goal: I would really like to be 160-165 lbs if most of it come off my tummy. That 10-15 lbs should be doable by March IF I focus.
So hoping we can reach goals together 2 -

Hi all, I am a 35yo mom of with two kids. I saw this challenge and think it will help me stay on track with my goal to be more fit and eat better in 2017. The last year and a half has been fairly difficult, I got an injury that limited my ability to exercise for several weeks and took months to recover from. I also had some other health issues and lost my father in the Spring and grandmother just a few weeks ago. Between the lack of exercise and overeating from grief my weight has been climbing. I was able to lose some of the weight this fall but gained about 5 pounds in December (hopefully its mostly water)
My Goals for this challenge:
Eating: No eating after 8pm, watch my portions, especially snacks (they tend to turn into large meals calorie wise) eat more fruits and veggies Try to log my food intake at least 3 days a week. Drink atleast 64oz of water a day.
Fitness: work out for 2.5 hours a week, get a wake-up workout done 5 days a week (8-15min)
I would like the above to result in a 0.5 lb loss per week.
Beginner stats-
Current weight-157.4
Bust: 34in
Waist: 28-3/4in
Hips: 41-1/2in

Hello! I would love to join! I hope it's not too late! I am back up to 154 after losing 51 pounds and being down to 135. I am crushed but after this past year and knowing I let stress get the best of me, I am ready to be back and get back down to 130s.
I am going to be keeping my calories between 1200-1500 per day. I am going to be running 3+ times a week getting in at least 10 miles a week running. I will try to lift 1-2 times a week if I can, but running is my stress reliever and if I had to pick I would choose to run.
I am doing this! I did it in 2014, I am going to do it again now. I don't know why my eating habits went back to being crappy, but I know I'm not ever wanting to go back to the 180s where I was before I lost 51 pounds. I need these 20 back off!
I look forward to doing this challenge with all of you!!!

Hey guys!☺
23 year old student, 5ft7 and started out a few years ago at 285, now I'm 230 as of this morning. Have hovered around 220 and 250 for about two years but would love to get into the 100s- something I've never done before!!
My nutrition goals are 1500 call a day, mostly protein and 80g of carbs a day. I'm doing a No Junk Jan were I ban myself from any takeout this month (something I struggle when studying with3 -
Hey everyone!
I'm Emily, 24 years old, in my final year as a student! I'm 5'5'' and currently 144lbs. At my heaviest I was 158lbs, I managed to drop to 130lbs about 18 months ago, I looked and felt better and healthier than I have in my whole life so I've decided to make this my goal. Ideally I'm aiming to achieve this by March 17th (my 25th birthday!) but my absolute essential goal date is July 9th, as this is my graduation ball and I want to feel amazing! I've not got a tape measure atm but I'll update later with measurements
My nutrition goals are to eat 1200-1400 calories per day, I'm sticking with the MFP macro ratio and goals, but carbs must be healthy whole grains, nothing overly processed or sugary! I'm cutting out alcohol, (apart from this Friday, I have a big night out planned with some friends!)
I've ordered a new recipe book called Salad Love, I have a couple of go-to salads that get boring pretty quick, this book has a different salad for every weekday of the year and I'm hoping it'll spice up my lunch time leaves and make me more excited about leafy lunches.
My exercise goals are to achieve 3 1/2 hours of cardio per week, plus 1 strength training routine with hand weights and my yoga mat each day.
I'm heading back to university tomorrow so I'm going to start my health drive from then, excited to get going with you all!
