    Update to Jan 3rd:
    Nutrician: Good days only 1/3. Slow start due to holiday. Should improve.
    Excercise: 2/3 days. ok with this.
    Weight: SW 175.5. CW 174.0. Likely a fluke.

    Today should be the start of a good streak. Hit the grocery yesterday for lots of healthy items. And it's a run day...love those!

    Hope everyone is making progess on your goals.

    Hi! I'd love to join this challenge. It's perfect timing for me, as I'll be standing next to my sister on her wedding day on March 24th. I'm soooo thrilled to be her Maid of Honor and be a huge part of her special day, but maybe a little less huge!

    I currently weigh 194 lbs (measurements to come). Realistically I think I can lose 20 lbs in time for the wedding. My nutrition goal is to stay around 1200 calories and limit carbs (cutting bad carbs completely). I will be eating lean meats and fish, and TONS of veggies.

    I slipped a disc in my back a year ago (hence the weight gain), and I'm still recovering, but I'm much better, and my PT says I can begin a regular work our regimen. I already do yoga every day for my back, and I plan on adding strength training and 1/2 hr of cardio 4 times a week. I'm horribly out of shape, so I'll have to build up the cardio starting at 1/2 hour and increasing from there.

    I can't wait to take my dress in for alterations once I lose some lbs!!

    Maybe just walk if your side still hurts - all exercise counts

    This is a great challenge for me as I turn 40 on 1-6-17 and Transformation Challenge is just what I need.

    1. Nutrition Goals: Keep calories in the 1800 range while using portion control, avoiding sugar and reducing carbs
    2. Fitness Goals: upping my step count to 10,000 while trying to work through hyper mobility diagnosis starting with anaerobic exercises. For cardio, biking 30 minutes (starting every other day working up to every day as my
    3. Stats:
    - weight: 260.
    - msmts: 40-42-55

    For health reason my main concern is my legs, so hopefully as the weight comes off I will see a big change there.
    Looking forward 2017!

    Nutrition goals for this 90 days BE SPECIFIC! = Eat meat. I'm anemic and my GP wants me to eat fish 4 nights a week and red meat or turkey for 3 nights each week. I would also like to aim to eat under maintenance for the full 3 months.

    Fitness goals for 90 days – AGAIN SPECIFIC! Work out and burn at least 3000calories per week. 3-5days per week. Start lifting again and increase weights over each month of the challenge.

    Beginner stats – measurements, weight and/or pics – WHAT GETS MEASURED GETS IMPROVED =218 around the 1st of Jan, pretty sure I'm holding water weight though, due to all the salt i ate over the holiday break. Should weigh about 210-212. hoping to get to get back down to that by the end of the week. IF i do, i'm hoping to get to 180 by the end of the challenge. I have my measurements in a word doc, but i'm on my phone atm. but i'd like to also go down a size. Will post measurements when I have the chance.

    Nutrion Goals - Complete Dry January, drink more water and try and aim to achieve the Lean in 15 Joe Wicks method of carbohydrates on training days only.

    Fitness Goals - I joined an expensive gym in December and have been using it 4 times a week and want to continue this. The aim is to swim once or twice a week, attend yoga on a Friday night when my son is with his dad and do a spinning class and HIT session on a Sat and Sun.

    Stats: Height 5ft 4 and weight is 12 stone.
    I would love to be 10stone by the end of May but would be happy with 10stone 5 and continue to work to 10 stone before our honeymoon in August.

    Looking forward to getting to know you all.

    Well, I'm a little late to join but better late than never as the saying goes. two years ago I started a fitness program of exercise and improved diet. ( I had a 50 year high school reunion to attend that June) yes, I am 70 years old now. after about a year I became more popped with other projects that my husband and I had started and became inconsistent ant first and then down right lazy with the exercise and nutrition. anyway I have gained back about 25 of the 35 pounds I lost. I do not have the energy I had, I am more depressed, I have joint pain and KNOW I need to get back in the habit of exercise and better nutrition.
    Nutrition goals: 8 glasses of water a day. protein 40% fat30% and carb 30% of an 1100 Calorie diet

    Fitness goal: walk 2 1/2 to 3-1/2 miles 4-5 times a week
    flexability and strength exercise 30-45 minutes 3-4 days a week

    Stats: I have been afraid to look. will check soon.

    Could use some extra motivation so why not!

    Nutrition goals: Attempt to cut by staying around 2000 kcals/day. May adjust depending upon results.
    Fitness goals: Drop down to at least 10% bf. I would also like to add at least 5kg on each lift, more on the big muscle groups.
    Base stats: 85kg, 6,2", 14% bf and waist is currently a 34. Not sure on my other measurements.

    I'm starting this late so I'll probably do it for a few days into April.

    Good luck everyone!

    Hello,

    My name is Suzanne. I am a few days late starting this challenge. I went to a nutritionist today and have some pretty specific goals. I am pre-diabetic. I have sleep apnea. I have foot problems. All these things can be avoided by fixing my diet and exercise and maybe losing weight. Though weight loss is a goal, it can't be my main purpose. In the past when I have had trouble losing weight, I've given up. Avoiding diabetes has to be my main purpose. Weight loss will be a nice secondary benefit. Getting off the CPAP machine would be real nice, reduced foot pain, even nicer.

    Stats:
    Age: 56
    Height: 5'3"
    Weight: 198
    BMI: 35.7
    % body fat: 45
    Waist: 40.34"
    Hips: 50"
    (I'd like to take some other measurements and add them later.)

    Goals set with help of nutritionist:
    Use the nutritionist's meal plan as a guide (she was very reasonable and worked with my preferences)
    Keep regular records of food intake and exercise in myfitnesspal
    1200-1400 calories (at least 6 days per week)
    Walk or use stationary bike 15-30 minutes 3-5 days per week as a start. Increase time as my ability improves.

    My additional goal: decrease alcohol from 7 days per week to 3-4 days per week with a glass of wine being the usual and only have beer or mixed drink on the weekend if I go out.

    I have used myfitnesspal on my ipad in the past but have not been able to do much with the community groups. I don't know how to use my page or how to find my page, add groups or friends, etc. I'll have to explore the site more, now.
