    I keep it simple I eat whatever I want as long as I stay within 1200 calories, I at least exercise 5 times a week, I aim for 2x daily for about 2 hours of exercise in a day.

    I try to plan my meals for all day early it helps me make better choices b/c I want to get the most food for my calories.

    Normally I do not eat my calories back that I worked off unless I am hungry then I will eat some back.

    Hi everyone!
    I'm very excited for this challenge to start! I'm currently about 1/3 of the way through a spring challenge and have lost about a pound a week so far. That challenge only goes until March, so I think this 90 day challenge will keep me motivated into the warm weather!
    I've lost 45 lbs so far, pretty much just from staying below 1500 net cals a day and walking. My SW was 218 and my CW is 172. I've found it harder to lose consistently now that I'm moving toward the 160s, and I know that I need to start doing more vigorous exercise to get to my GW of 145.
    I'm also signing up for my first 5K which is going to be the first week of May, so this challenge will definitely motivate me to train for that!

    I will be doing one of my many exercise dvd's. Mainly cardio cause I really hate weights but I will do some.

    Diet: I will be eating between 1200-1400 carb/calorie cycling.

    for breakfast: usually a protein pancake
    lunch : a big salad with protein and some cheese with a vinegar & oil dressing.
    dinner: meat, veggie and sweet potato/brown rice
    snacks: fruit or yogurt or nuts

    This is so exciting:))))) Forgive the exuberance.

    Hi I'm from Yorkshire,England. I am 29 and will be turning 30 in July.I'd like to be a healthy weight and knock this poor dietary lifestyle for good. I lose big and regain within a year. I have lost and regained nearly 45lbs twice. I'm so sick of this vicious cycle of eating,losing,elation,re-gain then misery.I'm done.

    I guess so so are you too,hence your presence.

    I'm looking forward to meeting new people and getting involved in this.I currently weigh 185.8lbs. UGW is 130 but I will feel healthy at 140.

    My start weight on 27/01/14 was 188.8 and today I am 185.8 after a very poor week where I overindulged and gained 4lbs.

    Well bring on the pom poms coz we are getting rid of stomach,backside and tummy baggage.

    My choice of exercise is walking.I tend to cover 85miles per month in just pure exercise walking.I want to start running but my boobs are just too big for that kind of thing.Maybe I should try wearing 3 pairs.Sports bras are rubbish. Anyone want free boobs,I have lots to give away LOL

    Glad to be part of this group. Need motivation anywhere that I can get it!
    Just got back from the gym where I am trying to strength train. I have let myself go pretty badly and feel really weak. I also have a shoulder injury that I am trying to come back from. Baby steps!!

    SW: 267
    GW: 150

    I'm doing 90% vegetables and 10% lean protein and water as my only beverage. I consume lots of salad and clean soup.

    Going hard these 90 days. I made a vow today before being introduced to this group to do 60 days. An additional 30 will only do good.

    My exercise will be zero resistance (because I bulk/gain muscle very rapidly) I'm a Mesomorph.

    Good Luck everyone and may God be with us all!!! We will do this and succeed. Think positive thoughts and envision where you want to be and look like in 90 days--when you utilize this you will reach it!!!

    Watch if you haven't this empowering documentary called The Secret. It changed my life.

    Walk 3 miles at home following this video! I like her a lot!
    WOW I just did one of those youtube walk fit work outs, that is no joke - great sweat and burn, thanks for the link. Now any idea what to put that under for a workout entry?

    Thanks!
