I know there are tons of new people who are looking to start off on the right start. Here is the Challenge, log every Calorie and Exercise for the next 30 days. It doesn't matter if you meet your goal for net calories or exercise, what matters is you create the habit of keeping up with your daily activities that may lead to reaching your future goals.

Come here every day and share your success, complain whatever you want.

    I will go first with the Introduction:
    I am 30 year old weight loss failure. I spent nearly 5 years maintaining my weight and then this fall I threw in the towel. I work a job in retail that TAKES all of my time. The schedule is constantly changing so establishing a is nearly impossible. In November I did a quick two week experiment to see if I could make working out and logging work with my present job, and it did work! Why did I quit then.....Thanksgiving through New years happened. Unfortunately my resolve to maintain my weight went out the window too, I gained A LOT of weight.
    I told my self once the Holidays were over I would go back to my experiment and this time Challenge MFP to simply logging every day for 30 days.

    Starting weight: 185
    Short term Goal Weight: 170 (where I was just 2 months ago)
    Log Term Goal Weight: 130

    Starting Fitness: Cannot Run more than 2 minutes without going out of breath
    End Fitness: Run a 5K in 30 minutes

    I sort of fell off the wagon again in August, after making so much progress and actually gained some back! Finally, back on track and eating better. This challenge is perfect!

    Thank you ladies for joining my challenge.
    I think the hardest part for me is taking the extra minute to measure and portion my food. I hae learned over the years if I actually portion out my food I am more likely to log it.

    I didn't exercise today.

    Thanks Corey for Taking the Challenge. At the end of the month you will see just how much EVERYTHING is. I have learned through the years keeping things on paper when I don't have MFP handy really helps.

    I think this is a great idea. I also joined the site a while back because I really liked the idea of tracking progress to increase accountability. Unfortunately, I wasn't very consistent. I'm in for the challenge and anyone is free to add me! Definitely looking for people to stay motivated with. Good luck everybody :wink:

    Count me in! I do log on daily but logging my food diary is another story. I find it difficult at times to log what I have eaten and I would like to become more accountable!

    Please feel free to add me as a friend also!

    Count me in too!! I just joined MFP again tonight. I desperately need a support system to keep me going. I know new years resolutions for me usually fly right out the window pretty quickly. I don't want that to happen this time. I need help.

    Now for my check in:

    Today's weight: 195 (my scale stopped working so this is a guess...probably over that)
    Short term goal weight:185...slow and steady
    Mid term goal weight: 175 (depending on how I look to myself I'll move on)
    Long term goal weight: 160

    First day of food and exercise log: AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but it made me realize what I need to do to make things better for me!

    LET'S DO THIS!!!

    I'm in. I hate that I "cheat" on logging food, skip reporting all the bad stuff, and lie to myself. Who's it hurting?! Only me. Thanks for starting the challenge.

    I'm game!!!! I'm 25 Years old I'm a vegan I been trying to get the last 10lbs off forever. I'm a cardio junkie. I started insanity and completed it, but I feel like if I wasn't eating and laying down I would have had the body desire.I eat sometimes when I get bored.This will definitely be motivation for me to do better....So let's do this! !!

    I'll join in. :)

    I've been on mfp for several years as a way to be accountable with my food. I am an emotional binger and a huge foodie. I am a pretty consistent at logging in, but I just got back from a 10 day long break after 805 days. I needed that break but now I need to get back to it. Logging food has become hit or miss and I need to be more consistent.

    Feel free to add me.
