January 3-month Challenge, to start on 1/7/2011 (Friday)

:happy:
Hi everyone!
I used MyFitnessPal on and off throughout 2010, but never with consistency. I recently moved away from my comfort zone with my usual work out buddies and I am finding it hard to find motivation and accountability.

I usually weigh-in on Fridays (making to sure give myself all work-week to bust butt at the gym!

I have never participated in a challege on here but I have read throught some fun ones (Valentines day, etc) and thought I would try and start one. . I would love to do a 3 month challenge. I know a lot of people have started up certain programs (p90x, insanity) and I believe those go for 90 days?! Maybe I'm wrong, lol.

I started last year 1-1-10 at 203 # and am currently at 181.4, I was down to 175 but gained some over the latter part of 2010 :-/

Three Month goal:
Week 1 (1/7) -
Week 2 (1/14) -
Week 3 (1/21) -
Week 4 (1/28) -
Week 5 (2/4) -
Week 6 (2/11) -

Week 8 (2/25) -
Week 9 (3/4) -
Week 10 (3/11 )-

Feel free to add me as a friend & best of luck!

I will get in on this with you as well. I just started a 30 day Beachbody program (Brazil Butt Lift) but I will move on to another program after that. Everyone please friend me.

Wish2Bam2

Hello Kelly. My name is Anne and I started my weight loss program just before Thanksgiving of 2010. (I know, who in their right mind would start right before the holidays. lol) I had double knee replacement this year and over the past 6 years while dealing with the deterioration of my knees I managed to gain 90 lbs. So, I am determined to get back to my pre-knee problem weight, 150 lbs, by Thanksgiving of this year. However, I do have a 3 month goal, I want to be180 pounds by March 18 because I have a doctor's appt. that day and would love to "show off" , my progress,

I think the challenge is a terrific idea and look forward to sharing info about our efforts. Please feel free to add me as a free so we can "chat". BEST OF LUCK!!!

This is exactly what I was looking for! I'm going to Paris at the end of March and I want to look and feel good for the trip (and in the pictures). I've lost weight using myfitnesspal before, I know it works. I'm ready to go!

So - we all post on Friday with our starting weights?

zaizix

That sounds like a great idea!

kerriBB37

Yes! That sounds like a good plan. . Like I said I never participated in nor started a "challenge" but starting on Friday is what I had in mind! So jealous you're going overseas. I have always wanted to!! Good luck to you and everyone else!

i'm in, i haven't really taken into consideration any short term goals, they're all long term!

i'm pretty sure i was about 175-180 at my heaviest, after the freshman 25 (not 15), but that was about 7-8 years ago. since then i've been hovering between 160-170. I really got into MFP at the end of November 10', and that's when I started doing Insanity. One month in, and i've lost 9 pounds so far, bringing me to 158. My ultimate goal is to weigh 130, so i've got 28 pounds to go. I'm not really sure if I can achieve that by the end of March, but i'm hoping to achieve it by the end of April.

Three Month goal: i'm going to shoot for 130 but 135 realistically.

Week 11 (3/18) -
Week 12 and the END (3/25) -

I just started Insanity month 2, afterwards I may do a P90X/Insanity hybrid, which would take me to the end of April!

( I know that some are caps and some letters not, I just typed this up really quickly!)

I will attempt to organize a spreadsheet of sorts after week 1, Excel is not my best friend but I will try! If you want to pass our scenario onto anyone else, that'd be great-the more the merrier! I hope no one drops out during these next few months. We CAN do it!

DreeDub

Alright...I'm in!!!

I always seem to start off strong and then die off as I see good results and get comfortable...thinking I can start to eat whatever I want again. I'm a teacher so my weight fluctuation seems to depend on the school year. My typical routine has been...Workout regularly from September through November then fall off in December due to craziness at school and the holidays...workout on a regular basis from January thru mid-June and then I REALLY struggle to get workouts in during the summer months when I have all the time in the world to fit them in! I don't know what it is...I just don't have the motivation in the summer...weird I know

So...here's my story...my heaviest was 146 and I'm now down to 134. In the last year or 2 I haven't let myself even get close to 140 but I do fluctuate between 132 and 136 on a regular basis. So my new goal is to stay under 135 regularly but my ultimate goal is 125! I haven't weighed that since high school!

SW=134
GW=125

I'll be completing Insanity starting on Monday, January 10th. I'm hoping to see a 1 pound drop each week but if not...I won't freak out

Good Luck to everybody...it sounds like we all need each other

Let's get this journey started ))

kerriBB37

Oops, I was trying to import my spreadsheet I made up but it won't let me anyone know how to put in a "photobucket" picture?

kerriBB37

I think I did it!

Now we're serious

kacylaine

I want in! I've never done a challenge before, but I think I definitely need the accountability.

GW: 145--150

I just got Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred, so I'm going to do that. I have really, really bad arthritis in my right knee, so I just hope I'm able to do it without injury or pain (minus muscle pain, I'm all for that!!).

I'm up for it! I'm in a couple of challenges from one month to 6 months so this is a great in-between motivator to keep me going :happy: I was at my heaviest (that I know of) of 181.5 at Thanksgiving '10. I had gained 20 lbs in less than 4 months and was horrified so I joined MFP and dropped 6 lbs since then. I'm starting with a goal of 140 by this summer and eventually hope to be down to 120-125 although I've had an althetes body so it's going to be really hard to drop that low with the muscle I gain. Its more about the inches and how I fit into clothes than the number on the scale for me
