    Anyone planning on doing anything specific? ie body for life, p90x?
    I plan on just watching what I eat and doing standard things like cardio and weight training using a variation of body for life

    Just hoping to get to the gym 4x a week and be more mindful of what I'm eating. Keep my protein up. Keep my sugar and carbs low.

    I am planning on just doing the gym, and really maintaining what I am eating. Hopefully the gym will be at least 3 times a week.

    I don't plan on joining a gym. I plan on doing all my exercise at home or outside walking. I have an exercise bike that I plan on hitting hard. I'm also going to put the wii fit plus to good use. I have a kettlebell and a workout video that goes with it. Utube is a great place to find workouts when you get bored with your routine.

    Andshrinking... I'd love to know how to get video's for free. Hip hop abs sounds fun!

    I'm doing the Nerd Fitness plan :) It's pretty simple -- and NOT a video. I love it because I can have TV going or inspirational music in the background.

    I'm starting Insanity on Monday. I've finished the program once before with amazing results....so thought I'd give it a second go around. I had a partner last time who kept me motivated - doing it on my own this time! Hopefully, I can keep the same motivation going.
    Another goal is to log EVERY day!! Not just when I'm eating well.

    I'm really specific in my "plan" - weight-train M/W/F with 10-12 minutes of HIIT afterward and HIIT - 20 minutes on T/Th. Stretching after every gym session. Saturday - maybe HIIT, but probably steady-state cardio class. Sunday = rest and yoga/stretching.

    I do variations of a bunch of methods lol a bit of a health junkie when it comes to reading etc. I'm also part of tone it up community. It's okay but Mfp has a better community app. There's just somethings I do and don't.... I like the gym environment it works for me. I also have a pretty good DVD workout collection. I would like to get some new home equipment tho... Bosh ball, gravity straps etc. But its okay til then.

    Mycarb protein fat ratios are 40 35 25
    I do like food combining methods. Protein with carbs. Natural fat only.. Whole cheese heck yes!
    And milk after working put mmmmm

    So, I know we're going for the greatest percentage of body fat lost, but I'm just wondering how you measure that?

    So, I know we're going for the greatest percentage of body fat lost, but I'm just wondering how you measure that?

    okay so int he beginning everyone will give me their start weight
    so lets say you are 200
    and another person is 300

    200 lb person loses 20 lbs
    300lbs person loses 21 lbs

    so 200 - 20 is 180. 180/200 = .90 meaning they lost 100%- 90% which is ten percent of their body weight
    300 - 21 is 279. 279/300 = .93 meaning they lost 100%-93% which is seven percent of their body weight

    so the amount of pounds wouldnt matter. the person who lost 10 percent would win

    Which sucks if you are gaining muscle. But thats hard to measure.
    So if you are doing a lot of lifting do not get discouraged!

    I hate to point this out - and I'm not being critical, but andshrinking's calculation is based on percentage of body WEIGHT lost, NOT percentage of body FAT lost.

    Body fat % IS much more difficult to calculate. But, here is ONE website (there are several) which has boxes you can fill in to determine what your body fat % is (now) - and then again as the challenge goes on to measure progress:
