    Sure, count me in as of today. I NEED to lose 25 pounds and tone up my body as well. To help me reach my goal I’ve decided to:
    1. Exercise 4 to 5 times a week, and keep track of my exercises each day for a month.
    2. Change my eating habits to include more fruits and veggies and less sugar and processed foods,
    and keep a log of what I eat for a month.
    3. Drink more water and make a serious attempt to cut out drinking sodas.
    4. Check my weight once a week to track my progress.
    I’m seriously looking forward to this challenge. Not only to lose weight, but to improve my overall health.

    Okay I’m going to weigh in right now and get started!!!!!!!!

    I will give it a whirl.

    I am currently underway on a CG Cutter. We have 2 treadmills, 2 lemond bikes, some weights, kettlebells, punching bags, medicine balls, TRX straps, and the ability to run around the flight deck. Though on days when it is rough it is really hard to work out. Yesterday I ran while we were doing some manuevering and I had to hold onto the treadmill or I would fall over.

    Also the food isn't the healthiest. I have packed some tuna, protein and some other better for me snacks. I will try to check in as time allows :)

    I'll join! I'm hoping to connect with some others so I can stay accountable, so if anyone wants to add me I welcome it! :)
    My personal goals are:
    Eat clean (this is very new for me, but advised by my doc so I have to adjust)
    Workout 5 days a week
    Weigh-in once per week and measure

    December is a rough month to start, but I'm adopting a NO EXCUSES attitude. So here we go!!

    My goal is 45 pounds and exercise 6 days a week. I am thinking about the clean eating thing. So far so good. 110 minutes for this week so far!

    Today was better for me, but I had a couple of beers last night too! Beer is a weakness for me. I hope today was better for you!

    It was work's annual Christmas party, so I ate waaaay too much! It was all pretty healthy though, except for the cake. But I nibbled on so much that it was impossible to track.

    How is everyone doing? Unfortunately I binged today at our holiday party. Too many sweets. How do you guys manage your binges? Sweets (specifically chocolate) are major triggers for me. I feel like for now I need to avoid these foods until I can get a better handle on my emotions.

    Other binge triggers include:
    Chocolate
    Ice Cream
    Refined Carbs

    How do you prevent a binge?

    I just dust myself off and move on. I'll eat a few less calories the next couple of days and work out harder at the gym. I know that my binges don't come too often and are usually accompanied by a party or holiday, which are so seldom that I can handle it.
