in Motivation and Support
As of yesterday, there were 100 days until Jan 1st. I know everyone has their reasons for losing weight, and all our own goals we want to achieve... what I do know is that I NEED TO CHANGE IT UP SEVERELY! :huh:
My reasons for a change I can control because so much in the past 20 months of my life, I have NOT been able to control... In the last month alone, I have fallen off the wagon, broke the wagon, and freaking REBUILT the wagon and got back on. I am in control of what I eat and in control of getting healthier :) even if it seems my life is changing and rapidly losing everything around me that is "normal", I need to be ok...and will be ok. :smile: :bigsmile:
I wanted to have people that want to seriously change with me....see HOW MUCH we can change in 100 days! I love the encouragement I have gotten here... love getting on every day even though I may not say a lot. I am not good at "checking in" everyday, or being in control of a group.... but if you want to join the 100 DAY CHALLENGE with me, be my guest :flowerforyou:

Any ideas, thoughts, recipes.... hints.... encouragement.... HIT ME =D

I have started by juicing for detox, veggie soup for filler, lemon in water, turning off night time lights by 10:30(IG thing for me) and no eating after 8pm(unless apple or protein bar if under calories)...and min of 10 waters.

:happy: I am happy to help you :happy:

Please know I will post all of my foods and upfront say I AM NOT PERFECT... and I have learned that sometimes "cheating" is the best way for me NOT to fail overall :bigsmile: :blushing:

    I will join you in the 100 day challenge :)

    I know that I will not lose what I want to lose by then, but maybe I can come darn close :) Then the challenge will be keeping it off...hopefully by then, the changes I'm making will seem more second nature then they currently are :).

    Feel free to add me to friends :) I just don't do a lot of commenting per se...never got into facebook.

    Hey, joining IN!!

    For me its exactly not even about loosing weight, but more about controlling myself!! No, looking down on myself again!!

    I am currently trying to stop smoking as well and generally living healthier and taking care of my body:-).
    The 100 day challenge is perfect idea and I hope there ll be whole different bunch of ppl by the end of it!YEY

    So to confess first, my last try lasted 3 days and then I had 2 night shifts and I dont really know how to deal with them... - Anyone has tips of some energy boost food, exept chocolate bars etc .. or how to eat during the night, what time should be the last meal??

    So for me today is a NEW START:-), keep the fingers crossed

    be free to add me

    HGT!

    I'll do it! 100 days should at least put me pretty close to being in a healthy weight range, which is awesome! I just want to keep my motivation. I've realized that where I want to be is probably 30 or 40 lbs. more away.

    Hi, count me in!

    I started my weight loss 6 years ago. This year after having a problem even getting my 'holiday weight gain' off I decided I needed to do more. So my original aim was 10lbs, which I increased to 15lbs. I am now thinking that to I can get to my ideal weight, why not! So am gonna change MFP to get me there. So 100 days, is the incentive. Good one and thank you.

    Looking forward to catching up with everyone.

    I'm in . I want to be down approximately 55-60 pounds by next June, so this will help keep me motivated and trying my hardest to get there. I'll admit that I can get extremely lazy, but if I have people who are expecting me to do something, I'll do it.

    All can feel free to add me.

    Hi

    I'm in!! However I only have 88 days until I go to Australia so I really need some encouragement. My grandaughter wants me to go swimming with her, and I really dont want to embaress her or myself, so I need to loose weight rapidly. I know I've probably left it too late but better late than never and any loss is a bonus!!

    There's a wagon? I knew I got on the wrong ride. To heck with these bumper cars! I'd like to join in & could really use support. Add me if you will, thanks. I just started using MFP & have a long way to go! Good luck everyone & take care.

    Count me in, too! I'm home with a pair of sick kids today, but managed to work my strength training in between their coughing fits. I think my biggest problem/challenge is when my routine goes haywire (due to sickness, husband out of town, too much marking, whatever) ... I need to make time for fitness regardless of what's going on around me. So here's to 100 days of making fitness a priority!

    I'm In!! Jenn Thanks for the 100 day chalenge I think we all have those fall off the wagon day's but geting up and rebuilding it is what makes us stronger. . So this is where I'm at now size 14 (tight) - 16 ( loose). Weight yesterday 193 I can jog(more like a fast walk) a mile whith out stoping. Lets See where this 100 days takes us. Hope to find new freinds in this 100 days.:happy:

    ME TOO I am so jazzed at all the new friends... I just got on here and needed a few other people to want to see how much we can change in 100 days!! I am so excited right now :bigsmile: Last week I was 293.3, :blushing: :huh: :grumble: AGAIN!!! Annoying, although I have dropped a size in the past 2 mos! :love:

    I am also excited about all the new friends I want to add, but am overwhelmed y the amount =) If you want to be my friend here, I will TOTALLY do my best to help, but I kinda suck at writing on everyone's wall!!! But I am cheering you all on, and LOVE pointers.... and hints... and encouragement! Also, If you ask a question, I WILL ANSWER HONESTLY, just know this! :flowerforyou:

    Good luck to us all, and the changes we can see in ourselves in the next 100 days!! HAPPY LOSING:heart:
