my info:
Age:25

GW: 70 kg
daily cal goal: 1200 but I am usually below it as I eat loads of veges and fruits which fill me up without much of calories.
workout: will start gyimng in the new yr ie. jan as first I just wanted to change my eating habits and lose some wt before I hit the gym.0 -
Age: 27
CW: 217.5 lbs
GW: 170 lbs
Daily Calorie goal: Net of 1,200
Workout: Right now consists of bowflex strength training (I dance or ride the bike in between sets which is why you'll see ridiculous calorie burn for it), a dance workout video, and I use an elliptical as well.
Weakness: Fast food and soda. I worked full-time through college and never had time to prepare meals for myself and so I got in the habit of consuming massive amounts of caffeine to get myself through work/class and eating fast food. I've recently "kicked" the caffeine habit (quotes because I still drink it, but I can now go a day without it and not have a headache, so now it's a choice, but some would say it's not kicked because I haven't given it up). The fast food I've significantly reduced but still crave pretty much daily : (
Add'l note: I've been losing more than 2lbs/week following the myp calorie recommendations so I recently purchased the body media fit armband, which has shown me burning more calories just going through my daily routine than mfp estimates (it also takes into account my smoking which increases metabolism apparently.) Oddly enough, it only shows about 1/2 the calories burned that my heart rate monitor estimates during actual work outs, so who knows. I plan on quitting smoking but I last time I tried I gained a ton of weight so I'm going to lose some first so that if I gain some back I won't feel like it's the end of the world. Hopefully I'll be feeling better stress wise and that will help as well later on down the road.0 -
Age: 53
5' 4"
CW: 240
GW: 145 (because that is the "normal" BMI but I'd be ecstatic to achieve anything in the 170s, "overweight" range)
Immediate goals:
Eat healthier (more veggies, less fast food, less fried food)
Eat smaller meals (don't eat until I feel I'm going to pop, and then shove in two more bites because I don't want to waste food)
Eat more often (was eating once a day, now I'm trying to spread my food out so I'm eating a little something every 3-4 hours)
Move more (walk an average of 4,000 steps a day, increase that number a little bit every week)
Rebuild lost muscle (lift 3-pound weight, get--and use--a resistance band)
Regain some energy (through exercise and a positive attitude)0 -

Mini Goal: Hit ONEderland by April 14 for my little brother's wedding.
That's about 2 lbs a week, so I should be able to do it safely.
Exercise: I walk/jog 3 miles 2x/week and swim 1x/week with my husband. I do at least two more cardio sessions a week that range between Zumba at the gym, Taekwondo at my dojang, and Turbo Jam DVDs at home. I think I'm going to stay away from the gym this month though, because there are always tons of newbies in the classes and it's hard to see the instructor. I do abs at least 3 times a week with Ab Jam (and later Hip Hop Abs, I just ordered it!), and I strength train at the little weight room in my building 3x/week.
So basically: Cardio 5x/week, Strength 3x/week.
Food: Calorie goal is 1780, and I do try to eat back most of my exercise calories. Typically try to eat as fresh, local, and organic as we can without spending a fortune. We're trying to cut back on dairy and red meat, but it's hard because we love cheese and ice cream, and nothing beats a perfectly cooked juicy filet! Our goal is to do two days of lean chicken breast, one day pork loin, one day fish, and the remaining days vegetarian, but we're still experimenting with vegetarian dishes. We haven't really found many veggie dishes that we like that are easy AND fulfilling AND that don't have a bunch of synthesized fake meats.
Challenges: We love to go out to eat and party, and we have a lot of foodie and bartender friends. It's difficult to say no. My other challenge is that I eat dinner with my MBA program on Tuesdays, and eat breakfast and lunch (and snacks) with them on Saturdays (we're at school for 9 hours on Saturdays), so it is harder to track the food that's ordered in. The program administrators pick and order and pay for those meals, so I don't have much say, I just have to try and pick the healthiest choice (which also looks the least appetizing).
So that's me. Anybody want to be my buddy?

My goals first goal right now is to actually complete the 30 Day Shred! Oh how many times I've started to no avail! I want to actually finish it! I'd also like to get down to my all time lowest weight of 217, and beyond! (Much, much, much further beyond! BUT ive got to take it 1 day at a time!) My next goal would be ONEderland! Which I'm hoping I can reach before summer! I have a few months, so why not?! Anything is possible
Another goal is to workout at least 3x a week for 30 min, in addition to 30 day shred!0
