No Junk Food, No Soda and to lose at least 7 pounds!!! Hard Core Starting in the am.. Beginning with a whey drink and P 90 X!!

Thanks for starting this group!!

My exercise goals are:
- Walk the dog for (at least) 30 minutes each day
- 30 Day shred 5 days a week (not going to do 30DS when I've got the gym, unless I have the energy for it)
- Gym twice a week
- Pilates twice a week

My dietary goals are:
- Follow a low FODMAPS goal 80-90% of the time (low sugar, low wheat, etc)
- Drink lots of water
- Only drink alcohol on Friday or Saturday nights and limit consumption to 2-3 drinks

I'll be having a free day on my birthday thou - no logging, and probably no exercise! That's it until Christmas thou

Goals: To log my daily calories for all meals, drink half my weight in water, preparing lunch daily no fast food, and to exercise at least 3 days per week...Please hold me accountable. I know I can do this....

Goals: Lose 10 lbs by Christmas. I can do that!
How?
1. Water. I've been horrible with soda lately- it's diet but I know the bubbles expand your stomach. I'll stick to one in the morning and then it is water for the rest of the day.
2. Throw out the Halloween candy or hide it really good.
3. Plan ahead for splurges. I will be drinking and I don't want to give that up during the holidays. My coworkers rented a limo and we're taking a road trip for the night and I was requested to make jello shooters again. Plan accordingly- they can't tell it's sugar free jello. Maybe a mixed drink with diet soda instead of beer.
4. Gym at least three days a week. Hopefully four, but let's be realistic since I'm starting over-again. Zumba, elliptical are my faves. We did personal training not too long ago so I can reach into that to get some ideas also for strength training. I have a 6 year old, and my husband and I both work full time. Life is crazy and I know I might not get to the gym everyday, especially since I still have to do call and late shifts at work.

Ok I am in, will drink plenty of water and do my exercise at least 3 time per week. Hope to lose at least 4 lbs by the end of the month.

I need to refocus starting tomorrow so I'm in, too.

Food Goals:
1. eat my macro/calorie plan
2. log food daily
3. No food after 7 pm
4. Breakfast with 30 min of waking
5. 110 ounces of water daily
6. No alcohol except red wine on my birthday

Fitness Goals
1. Elliptical, Turbo Jam, swim, or a 2 mile walk 5 days a week.
2. Weights with a 20 min cardio warm up 2 days a week
3. Abs 3 days a week

I will lose 10 pounds of water weight this month because I've been so bad for the last two months, so I have a 16 pound loss goal. It's completely possible because of the water weight.

I need this!!

Let's do it!!! I've starting over and over and over, I'm definitely committed this time around.
Food goals:
- log everything
- tons of water
-no food after 7pm
- no fried foods
Exercise goals:
- Zumba exhilarate 6 days/ week
- insanity 6 days / week

My goals for this challenge are:

1) Lose 8lbs

2) Exercise 6 days a week, with a burn goal of 800 calories minimum if possible (I often burn 1K)

3) Continue to log everything I eat, work harder to stay at or under calorie goal

4) Drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day--I log my water but have been lax in drinking enough lately.

5) Keeping in mind that when I reach my ultimate weight goal I'm getting myself a passport for a trip overseas to the U.K. and Europe!!!

Thanks for forming the group! My goals for this challenge:


No alcohol

No sugar, treats, or cheats

30 Day Shred: Monday - Friday morning, alternating levels 1-3 (I've already done the whole thing before) and using 5 to 11 lb. weights.

Running outside Saturday and Sunday- and try to do a 10K distance for the first time this month.


So, I did all this same stuff the 2 weeks before Thanksgiving, and while it was tough at times, I lost 5 pounds those 2 weeks, so it was well worth it! 30 days is going to be a challenge, but I really need a goal like this to help me make it through all the food and booze on the horizon. I still have too much weight to lose to think I can indulge here and there just because it's the holidays!

Good luck to everyone!

My first day back on MFP after a long time away and I find this group, it must be fate.
Goals:
1) Log everything, everyday
2) Exercise 5 days a week
3) Increase water intake
4) Cut out alcohol

Let's get started!

I'm in! I will stay under my calorie goal, drink a lot more water, and keep my sodium down/protein up. I will also exercise 6 days a week until Christmas. I have to attend a beach wedding in Dec with people that I have not seen since college so yes, I am motivated.

30 days.
Goals are:
Insanity 6 days a week.
Sunday is yoga day with either yoga or fun workout video.
Sit ups everyday! increasing the amount.
Be capable of doing 20 push ups by Christmas.
Stay under Calorie Goal everyday.
Do my best everyday.

Excited to see the results in 30 days and love having a group to encourage each other and stay accountable.

My goals:

Workout at least 30 mins M-Sat
Drink only water
No added sugars
Sleeping 7-8 hours a night
Eating well - veggies, protein, complex carbs
Eating smaller meals several times a day
Tracking my meals and exercise consistently

Lose at least 10 pounds.

Here are my revised/more specific goals:

1-Finish the 30DS, continuing with 2 days on, one day cardio, 2 days one, one day cardio then rest and repeat. That is how Jillian says to do it and it is the only way my knee is hoing to survive! To all you just starting, stick with it!!! You will think you are going to die, but you won't! She isn't lying when she says that you are going to feel more endurance a few days into it. Check out my profile to see my losses so far just doing the 10 days.
2-Keep in the black with my calories. I have been cheating the last few days because of all the rolls and pie in the house. Which leads to goal 3...
3-Give away the rest of the pie, and freeze all the other goodies that are around. If I cannot see it, I will not eat it, just how I am.
4-Drink more water. I am pretty sure I am holding on to a lot of water weight and I want to see if I cannot lose some of it by being properly hydrated. My goal is a gallon a day.
5-More veggies! I have to make a greater effort to incorporate vegetables into my diet. I am great with fruit, but I have been seriously neglecting the green stuff these past 2 weeks.

Thanks for the invite :-) Tomorrow is weigh in day so we shall see how it goes.. I would like to lose between 5 and 10 kilos before Christmas. Unfortunately for me no exercise for the next week as I have hurt my ankle, hope that doesn't stuff up my results. Good luck everyone and wishing you all the best for your Christmas Challenge.
