Hello! Checking in from CO.

Hi Everyone!
I'm really excited for this challenge. I've had it in my head for a while that I want to get to my specific goal listed by the new year. By this challenge breaking it up into 10day/10% intervals, I'll know whether I'm on track or not. It makes it much more manageable.
My goals for today:
1. Stick to my calorie goal (always)
2. 10,000 steps (always)
3. Run my "hill" workout0 -
Hello from Dallas!
My goals for today are:
-stay within calorie goal
-drink 6 glasses water
-get in 30 min of strength training and 30 min cardio
I'm guessing only 20% will continue reporting until the end but not everybody who makes it to the end will have reached their weight loss goal. However anyone who continues to try and makes any progress is a winner.0 -

Checking in from Surrey, BC, Canada everyone - Hello! I started my day with a loaded smoothie with Vega One, Enerex Greens, Matcha tea, 1 cup blueberries, 1 tsp flax seed oil, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 cup kefir and 1/2 cup water. Delicious and my body is thanking me. Also did my first workout in years - it was only 15 minutes but I have to start somewhere, right?0

Hello...just wrapping my day here in the middleast....got my steps in and stayed within my caloric goals. Weill try and push from more steps tomoro!!! Want to start some yoga too...maybe this weekend!! (which is Friday and Saturdays over here!)0
-
I'm going to say that more than half of us will lose some amount of weight.....maybe not all we are trying to lose.How many of us will make it to the end and be successful about losing weight? Anyone want to make a guess?
But I also think that at least half will drop out, because it isn't as easy as we thought it would be. Probably closer to 75% will drop out.
Out of 171 people ( I think that is the number), I'll bet that only 40 or so will log all the way through.
On the positive side, everyone who even tries is a winner. They have made the first step. Most of us fall down the first few tries......but we get stronger every time! :-)
The realistic number is 10% of those who entered their Start Weight in the spreadsheet. That means my estimate is 15 to 20 lucky finalists. But all these will achieve 100% of their goals. So be one of these lucky die hard 100ths.
I hope there will be at least 25% participation at the end of the 100 days. As far as successful weight loss, I have no idea how to predict that percentage.
Wow, 10% is a sad number.
I'm gonna try very hard to make it to the end and lose those pounds! 0 -
Ok I just joined the group and am looking forward to seeing how I will do with the weigh-ins.
So for day 1:
5 am: 30 minutes lower body weight training
Leg curl: 55
Leg extension: 60
Leg press: 260
Hip Adductor/Abductor: 155
5 sets of 10.
50 minutes of walking - broken into 2 - 15 minutes, and 2- 10 minute segments
and tonight - 7 pm Water aerobics class.
I am newly following the Primal Blueprint diet - which means I am eating a reduced carb, no grains, no refined sugar, and minimal processed foods.
Trying to drink more than 6 glasses of water a day. I seem to stop around 5 most days, but I'm hoping to increase by one for this next month (baby steps).0 -
Yes! Day one!!!!
My goals for today:
- log everything accurately (as per usual)
- drink at least 8 glasses of water today (1:30pm and only have had one...)
- get some form of exercise in (probably a walk)
- make something yummy for dinner (that's well within my calorie limits)0 -

Hello from Edgar, WI!
Aiming to lose 15lbs by the end of the year. I would like to say that I am going to work out 5 days a week, but with 4 kids under 7 nothing is certain ;-) So I need to be more creative and get in activities when I can.
Plan:
Get outside and do yard work - get the kids involved
Track ALL my food
Cut out a caffiene beverage - drink more water
Good Luck!0 -
1) Eat something...anything that is not liquid
2) Invest time in environmental hygiene no matter how cute my black cat, Alex the Mighty - see ticker - looks on the giant pink and black ladybug.
3) Get in some organized exercise (thinking Rockin' Body - Mark, Move, and Groove - and a nice walk later.
4) Remind myself of the quote "When one journey's to the center of their fear, they find only fear being afraid of itself."

My goal today and every day is to keep going and not give up.
Me too! I have a habit of getting into these things and then drifting off, and quitting.0 -
Good morning everybody!
Checking in from Austria - glad that the thread is already here :-)
My goals for today:
-) log everything
-) 8 glasses of water
-) 5 servings of veggies/fruit
-) get another walk in
Yes! I managed all of it. Stayed under the calories too, although I used up about half of the calories gained by walking around. I will try to reduce that tomorrow.
Good night everybody!0 -
Hello everybody ^^
I really don't think that I'll achieve my goal but I'll do my best.
I really don't care about time too much but I just want to reach my optimal goal at my coming birthday which will be after 6 months and I hope I could do that.
the problem is that I'm not in Egypt right now and the climate here in UAE is very hot that I can't even dare to walk outside home
I only do zumba or some workouts and I don't do them everyday
My everyday goal is to be under my calorie goal and hopefully exercising become a daily habit to me
I'm really glad to do this challenge .. it's a kind of motivation to me because I often lose my hope to reach my goal 0 -
Christine of NOVA
The only way to check my progress is by detailing the Daniel Plan
Faith - okay
Focus - okay
Food - 790 calories. For sure I will make it below.
Fitness: 1 hour of cardio
this is a good day!!0 -
Well, I made it to the library and got through my training, but my parent was a no-show for my meeting. Frustrating, as I set it up yesterday and had to drive 45 minutes each way, but oh well. I realize I'm starting to get a chest cold and my motivation to make dinner tonight is pretty low. Maybe I can convince my husband to do it!0

im pleased with myself for the start of this challenge, been out for lunch with the OH, and while he tucked into copious amount of pizza hut buffet I ordered a low calorie pizetta, and water.
im hoping to get out for a run while kids are at their activities this evening
well evening did not go as intended, took my son to rugby, then my daughter to brownies with the intention of a quick 3k run before picking them both up. Went ready to run only to find i had to attend a parents meeting at brownies. So no time left at all.
I just managed to stay within my calorie goal by 13 calories - at least its green. Meal planning going well, satay chicken with noodles for tea.0 -
Stayed within my calorie goal. Worked out morning and night, but it was harder last night as I feel like my knee isn't enjoying the process. Got a good nights sleep. Was only up 3 times to the baby instead of the usual 13!0

Hello from Southern California!
My goal today is to log my calories, meet my caloric goals, and go for a swim. I had a busy morning teaching a microbiology lab and am working from home for the rest of the day. I can't eat or drink while at work, since I work in a lab, so I need to catch up on my water intake now that I'm home.
Good luck everyone!0 -
In a fair amount of discomfort from yesterdays lunges, so shuffling around like an old lady today ;-)
Ready for more tomorrow
