  • Hey everyone. My goals are to be wble to get down about 190 I'm currently at 204.6. I joined mfp September 30 and so far I've lost 42.4 lbs. so this last 14lbs in 50 days shouldn't be an issue but I always heard the last 10-15lbs is the hardest to lose. Looking for motivation. After I lose my weight I'm going to start toning up and building more muscle mass and definition

    I haven't done a challenge before but 50 days sounds good! My goals are:

    1) Run at least 3 days per week
    2) Yoga at least once a week
    3) Lose 10 pounds

    If I meet my goals, I will reward myself with new running gear!

    I've lost about 40 lbs over the last couple years, but have been creeping in the wrong direction in the last few months. I'm new to MFP and committing to this challenge to get back on track!

    Goals for the next 50 days:

    1. (Stealing this one from above) - No alcohol for January; re-evaluate for February. (When I drink, I eat! Time to get real on this one.)

    2. Keep trying to log - I hate it, but it helps.

    3. Prioritize my exercise routine - do something every day.

    4. In 50 days - fit comfortably in the jeans I was wearing in September.

    I'm excited to get back on track!
  • I would like to start working out everyday.
    Make a eating plan and stick to it.
    I'd love to lose a total of at least 20 pounds.
    I'm just starting so water weight will probably go pretty quick.

    My Goals:

    To Lose at least 10lbs
    Go to the gym at least 5 days a week
    Control my portions
  • This is my first challenge and i'm super excited.
    All in all i want to lose weight but that doesn't work without a plan. So my plan for the next 50 days is to eat clean. Absolutely no cheating. My weakness is all the midnight snacking, so i'm saying bye to that as well. I want to continue at the gym as i have been doing but i want to do more group fitness classes. Ohhhh Man this is going to be tough. But I am so READY for this CHALLENGE!!!!
    YAYYYYYY!!!!

  • My goals are to:
    - make weekly meals plans that incorporate cleaner eating
    - drink more water and less coffee
    - keep daily eating log to help me stay on track with calorie intake
    And as a result of this I hope to lose at least 10 lbs and gain more energy.

    Overall goals for this challenge is to maintain consistency....pushing play daily on something....starting back today on Jillian Michael body revolution ......at 50 days...plan to be 50+ days into it! Another is to really get the diet back on track...someone else said they are afraid to get on the scale...I can totally relate...I notice my pants are getting shorter...not a good sign! Last goal...water! We were doing so well to not have any pop in the house, and it's gradually snuck its way back in....

    So...........
    Body revolution daily
    Eating clean with daily logging
    Water-at least 100 ounces daily...and yes I do count my daily cup of coffee in this part of my fluids.....and will continue to do so...1-2 cups in a day...not going to worry about it
  • WOOHOO! In 50 days I will turn 50 and I will do a 50K run jog walk crawl puke if it kills me run wherever I am (may be snowing up here in NYC, I may head up past West Point to Cornwall, not sure yet). Need to lose 15 lbs so my feet don't hurt. Who's with me? I move a lot, workout a bit , finished a few NYC Marathons in 5hrs or so, but I cant wait to lose some weight, so I'm off the Haggydaz, no more evening sweets, so far so good.

    So far exercise staying strong and dedicated!! Dinner out tonight negligent on my part...I did not plan ahead by researching calories at Ruth Chris... Typically I shared a ceasar salad but tonight I ate an entree salad...500 calories (my dinner calories over all), plus halibut, mushroom and geen beans side dishes total of 1200 calories but 500 for breakfast and lunch. Not bad at all but this means maintaing same scale reading. Planning works!!!!! I am having fage yogurt with fruit or veggies for breakfast and lunch all this week to see if scale starts to move after a week.
  • -to start turbo fire.
    -to lose at least 15-18 lbs!!! yay so excited.
    Good luck everyone. We got this!!!!!!

    Hi Everyone!

    I'm Kelly - I'll be 30 in May and I plan on it being my lightest birthday in 10 years. I remember turning 20 like it was yesterday, standing on my scales and seeing 104kg and thinking WOW I AM FAT. 10 years on, and I gained up to 135kg, and am now back down to 112(ish), so need to lose about 10kg to get to my 20-year-old weight. Once I get there, I won't stop until I'm a healthy weight for my height (75kg) so I still have a long way to go.

    For the next 50 days, I plan on the following:
    -Follow my 12WBT diet and exercise plan
    -Exercise daily - either at the gym, at the lake, or pounding the pavement.
    -Drink 2l of water daily (64oz for you US friends!) minimum

    And of course get to know all you lovely people!!

    Feel free to add me as a friend! My food and exercise status has been switched off my news feed (I only use fitbit exercise adjustment and can't bring myself to close out my diary any day!) but I do comment on other's status updates!!!

    Hi 50 Day Challenge:

    January 2-March 2, 2013

    -Serenity Prayer
    -Increase time contribution to my community
    -Lose (1-1.5) pounds per week to be at a (8-12) pound loss by March 1, 2013 (154-150 pounds) end goal.
    -Continue MFP daily Journal log
    -Attend GISFW 3x week
    -Try a new activity or class
    -Reduce clutter in my life

    After years of all kinds of diets & fitness memberships I lose weight and make better life changes when I do it this way: Slowly, Set Realistic goals, Eat natural foods versus using diet aide food substitutes, When I go off course I don’t kick myself in the head but pick myself up and just get back on track, Try not to sweat the small stuff and keep things simple.

    Best to everyone on their 50 days!

    Well since I'm going to be starting the " Eat More To Weigh Less" - I think it would be unfair to expect too much weight loss when I'm still adjusting to this. -Hopefully no serious gain!!
    However - I would like to be more toned (at least if measurements went down)
    I want continued 30 day shred (add heavier weights?)
    Bootcamp and one other class a week
    Continue swing dancing and hiking.
    Meet with a trainer so I can start lifting heavier weights the right way!
    Eat healthier, try only eating out 1 every other week and trying to always preparing my lunch for work.

    These are great goals too!! especially #4 sounds so easy but can be challenging. One trick that helps for me is adding "Emergency - 1000 Mg Vitamin C Tangerine" to water - and it only adds 25 calories.
  • I want to drop 21kgs by the 8th March so this is the place for me to start! the 9th March is my 30th birthday and I refuse to look crappy in photos on the day. I have two kids and there are so few photos of me with them I would like to change that!

    1. Make time to exercise daily, I have a crazy schedule with my job so I need to make a routine so that my workouts do not get forgotten.
    2. Lose about 15 pounds..I'm hoping thats an attainable goal...someone let me know if its not lol
    3. Train myself to think before I eat or snack or drink so that I can make healthier decisions and not have to go on a "diet"
    4. Get to know everyone here better!

    Hi everyone, I thought I posted this earlier.
    My name is Michael, I am 67 and need to lose about 13 pounds. Not a big goal but I have managed to kid myself for several years that I'm getting on with it. So . . . it's high time that I did. i'mstill finding my way around MFP but I already feel quite motivated just by reading other peoples' stories. Looking forward to getting to know everyone better as the challenge gets underway
