Now I am a talker so I'm going to post every day and I'll probably throw in a few words here and there but I'm going to set a basic format for inputing your stuff everyday, you can take it and change it, add to it, subtract from it or create your own one completely but the one I will be using is the one below
Calorie Goal:
Exercise Goal:
Healthy Eating:
Food Prep:
Complete Diary:
Predicted weight:
It's fairly simple really...so for example for calorie goal you could enter: met/not met/ over/ under or you can write your actual intake! For excercise you could put similar or you can add specifics 55 mins, 40 mins, or 500 mins whatever you did! and the rest are the same...it's all self explanatory!
Now I know putting in the predicted weight is kind of a goal and to be honest I wont be posting it but it's an option I thought would be nice for those who need more structure! I am going to post my starting weight and My end weight and maybe a few in between! all of this is optional of course! I'm excited to see what people do with this challenge!
If you had a delicious meal share a pic or show us you doing some fun excercise!!
Show us those calenders! I am going to post a pic each day of what day i'm on that day etc
Any other ideas are more than welcome!!
have fun!
I'll be posting in a hundred days much lighter!

Decided to join you on this. My eating habits are pretty good so my goal is more fitness related. I keep starting a strength training routine and then slack off after a couple weeks. So this will be my goal:
Weight training 2-3 times a week, 3 sets each session
30 minutes cardio on weight training days, 45-60 on off days
Regular crunches daily, additional core exercises on alternating days from weight training
Calorie goal: 1300 net
Macro goal: 30/30/40 protein/fat/carbs
Weight goal: 1-1.5 a week
Lets see how good I can do with this.0 -
Yay!!!!
I am delighted you decided to join me! I'm not one who works well under pressure! I get too perfectionisty about it and when I don't reach targets I spiral! I need to do something I know I can do!
This goal is nice and attainable and three months isn't too mental!!
Thanks for joining!! Looking forward to doing this with you!!0 -

I have a few days to catch up on now...was away for the weekend and didnt have access to a computer!
I'm ashamed to say I fell down on two hurdles already but I'm going to pick myself up and keep going! The first was not completeing my journal Friday OR Saturday!! I was just up to my eyeballs(no excuse really ) and it slipped my mind. I'll be better in future. My weekends are always busy and always my worst for eating. No. 1 I'm home all day and can eat whenever I want and no.2 I spend the weekends mainly in my boyfriends house and he eats terribly and never has food that's good for me to eat which means that next weekend I am going to prepare some dinners and bring some fruit to eat fro breakfast etc. anyway the second pitfall was no excercise on saturday! But today is a new day! You can fall down 100 times but if you pick yourself up 101 times you're a success!

So in some other news I left the gym about six months ago and had every intention of joining a new one (I moved houses) but of course loads of silly things like time, money, laziness got in the way and I didn't rejoin anywhere! Long story short I joined a new gym five minutes from my home, or rather I will be today so I am excited to be back swimming again!WOOOOO!!! I love swimming so hopefully my exercise will be taking a nice bump up in minutes there!0 -
Good for you joining a gym. I've been trying to build up a home gym since my gym is at work and I can't to it on weekends, holidays, days off or even after dinner if I have errands to run after work since its 15 miles from my house.0
-
Jesus thats a bit of a trek alright!!I'm really lucky the gym I'm joining is five minutes walk from my house which means I can get home from work in the evening and stroll down!! I'm very excited I love the gym but I am addicted to swimming!! Going for a swim and gym tonight! Really looking forward to it! And my cousin who I live with is in the same gym so I'll have an exercise buddy too!!I would love to have a home gym unfortunately I'm renting/poor lol so not for another few years!0

Day 5
Calorie Goal: 1517/1500
Exercise Goal: 60 mins walking, 30 mins gym
Healthy Eating: Yes (except for a sneaky chocolate bar that managed to worm its way into my hand!)
Food Prep: Yes
Complete Diary: Yes
Predicted weight: Seeing as how it's a new predicted weight I'm going to put it in. 109.1 kg in 5 weeks
So I had a bit of an up/down day yesterday. I Decided to change my calorie intake to 1500 after doing a bit of reading and deciding I could afford it. I did not know how wrong I was. I thought I was around 16 st 11lbs but it turns out I was way off. I went to the gym last night (I rejoined yesterday) and Did a fairly measly workout but I had gone walking for an hour previously so wasn't to upset with myself....until I weighed myself. Now I know there are loads of different factors here and I haven't been drinking enough water so I'd say I'm retaining it but either way the scales read 17 st 12 lbs and I nearly had a heart attack. I panicked and then realsied that this was the kick I needed. I cannot continue the way I am or I will be 19 stone again and I cannot do that. I know how hard it was to get back from there so I'm going to turn it around for good this time. Feeling determined...and firmly back down to 1200!0 -

My macros were near perfect today. Plus I got to have some cookies and fudge. The fudge was homemade (not by me) so had to use estimates. Hope I wasn't too off with that.0 -
