My name is Christine from Northern Virginia. My goal is to lose 17 lbs by the end of the year. I plan to reach my goal by doing the Daniel Plan which is the 5Fs - Faith (Christian living), Focus (things I am grateful for daily), Food, Fitness and Friends. Food is basically eating clean, no refined and processed food. I plan to incorporate LCHF - low carbs and high fat (healthy fat). I plan to work out 5 times a week for 45 mins to an hour.:heart:

    Thanks for starting this Christine.

    My name is Amy. I currently reside in Nevada but Oregon is home. I feel best when I am fit and active. My goal is to lose 15lbs by the end of the challenge. I am planning on achieving my goal by exercising, eating healthy and calculating calories and macros for the first time. I love the gym but am listening to my trainers and only working out 4 times a week. I am lifting and doing cardio 3 times a week and doing some intense power yoga for the 4th workout. Sometimes I do yoga on my rest days but keep it relaxing and easy. I am really trying to develop healthy sustainable habits I can maintain.

    Hi :)
    I live in the uk and will start at around 388 lbs. i am still debating what i want to write down as a goal. Something tough to keep me extra motivated or something less extreme? I hope to be somewhere between 330 and 350 lbs by the end of the year. I will do that by continuing what i am already doing: 10 or more hours in the pool each week and eating at a deficit.

    Hi Im Curly from the UK (north east)
    Hoping to get down to 10.5 stone (not overweight any more) by 2015. Really any decent change would be ok though as I haven't moved for over a year now :-)
    I have just started cross fit 3 times a week, have currently got very achey arms, but determined!

    Thank you Christine! I love the mantra the 5 F's! (Faith, Focus, Food, Fitness, and Friends)!

    Hi Im April, in from wakefield in the UK. I would like to loose 14lb during this challenge, and plan to be comfortably able to run 5k i can happily do 3k and have done 5k in the past but not even attempted it for a good few month.
    I plan to loose this weight by running x3 week, swimming x1 a week, then i kickbox and do karate and should also be starting jujitu soon, During this challenge i will be doing the next step towards my black belt in kickboxing, i have a brown belt cdurrently and have one more assessment before my pre-dan to complete. I should make blackbelt in the next 4-6 months.
    I really could do with increasing my upper body strenght which i why i started swimming, i tend to swim mostly using my arms my legs jsut seem to follow.
    I havent been to well latly and have been eating quite a bit of rubish, and not attending my classess. i plan to change this by the begning of the challenge and am starting with a run this afternoon.

    Hey, my name is Mojca, I come from Slovenia.
    I was doing great on MFP at the beginning, which is 10 months ago, but now I think I need this challenge to get me motivated again.
    I would like to lose 25 pounds in 100 day. I'll try to achieve this by eating as clean as possible (with some cheat days) and exercise at least 4 times a week (walking and swimming).

    I wish good luck to everyone!

    Already altered my goal - maybe not overweight any more is too ambitious for 100 days ;-)

    Goals: At 100 days, I want my weight to be down from current (184.6) to 150. It's 2.4 pounds per week, and I believe I can do it. After 100 days, I want to continue going until I reach 135-140. I want to feel sexy in my own body, instead of hiding from the mirror.
    Recipe for Success: Stay within my calorie limit each day, and STOP BINGE EATING. No more "I'll start tomorrow" or "I had 3 cookies already, I should just eat the whole box and not buy any more." Those days are done. I'm also starting a fit camp in two days, and afterwards I'll incorporate exercise into my weekly habits. I want to walk the dog more, too.

    Thanks for adding me!

    My name is Suzanne. I live in Canada. My goal is to lose 12-15 pounds by 2015. My non-scale goals are to be able to fit my wedding rings back on, achieve a "normal" BMI, and to get into my pre-baby clothes again. :)

    I plan to achieve this by eating within my calorie goals (set at 1 lb loss per week) and by exercising regularly. Right now I'm working on JM's Ripped in 30 and going for lots of walks.

    Add me if you'd like, but if you could, please tell me that you're from this group too! :)

    Goals: Be at or below 200 lbs by the end of challenge; get more efficient saving habits in place to quicken leaving Long Island; increase home cooked meals; get myself to the library more often
    Recipe for Success: Keep up with my current eating habits and setting milage goals to stay motivated in the gym; set mini goals regarding spending and plan for necessary expenses in the next 100 days; make time for cooking and use seasonal veggies; utilize resources from library whenever possible.

    This group has exploded and totally surpassed my expectations! I'm so happy to have so many people on board - this thread could be very valuable in the future to remember what brought us here. Only two days until we start - get in your information on the spreadsheet!

    Hi guys, I'm Selina and live in Auckland, New Zealand.
    I'm currently around 88kg and would like to be around 75kg by the end of the 100 days.. My eating is pretty tight at the moment and I do a bit of walking on treadmill and cycling on a stationary bike as I have a knee injury preventing me from doing some things (would love to be able to run!)
    Good luck to you all and can't wait to hear everyone's progress!

    My name is Lyn. I live in Canberra, Australia. I started my weight loss journey at 127 kg and am down to 103.4. I got as far as 91 but it's slowly creeping up. I find that no matter what I do I lose at the slowest of paces. I own a treadmill and exercise bike, so I hereby commit to 300 minutes of exercise a week. I would love to be 95 kg by the end of this challenge.

    My name is Erica and I live in Southern California. I've recently returned to MFP after having left because I was pregnant. Unfortunately, we lost the pregnancy at 9.5 weeks; but before that I spent 7 weeks on the couch nauseated and on bed rest. Needless to say, I gained weight that I'd like to take off now. That was our fifth loss in 14 months, and all together I'm up about 45 pounds now. My goal for the last 100 days of 2014 is to put a 20 lb dent on that number. I will do that by counting/logging caloric intake, returning to a mostly paleo diet, resuming exercise four times a week, and making lifestyle changes such as taking the stairs at work.
