    Hi -My goals are
    1) to stick to a routine no matter what, at times my job gets rather stressful and I find "excuses" not to work out or eat healthy.
    2) 2 workouts a week - starting small, I used to work out 6 days but found when I got off track it was hard to get back on- which led to my 25lb weight gain this past year.
    3) Learn to make smoothies and incorporate into my diet on a regular basis. :) I am not a huge fruit fan and can't get past my coffee in the morning so I never really think I have the time for them. But they seem rather easy to make and are healthy so why not.
    4) Run Again !!! 2 years ago I participated in a 10 mile run in Disney it was great- now 2 miles on the treadmill is a killer :)

    I hope to lose 12lbs by the end of the 9 weeks, anything more is a bonus:) Feel free to add me and good luck to everyone!

    SW:(1/13-1/20) 165

    My goal is to gain confidence in the way I look. I am doing two diet bets to also reach this goal. I also want to start running again (even if it means on a treadmill until the weather improves :( ). My biggest struggle is at home because I don't want to work out and I love to snack in the evenings! Hoping I can find motivation to just become healthier overall!!

    Hi everyone! This challenge is so timely as I am getting back on track and increasing my focus. My goal is to lose 20 pounds by St Patty's Day, which means 10 pounds by Valentines Day! To get there, I am committing to a Paleo/Primal diet, working out 6 times a week for 30 minutes, and staying within my calories on MFP.

    Week 1 [1/13-1/20] - 216
    Week 2 [1/20-1/27]
    Week 3 [1/27-2/3]
    Week 4 [2/3-2/10]
    Week 5 [2/10-2/17]
    Week 6 [2/17-2/24]
    Week 7 [2/24-3/3]
    Week 8 [3/3-3/10]
    Week 9 [3/10-3/17]: GOAL: 196 (As long as I am out of the 200's, I'll be happy!)

    I really need help with keeping me accountable! I do great in the beginning and fall off quickly.

    Seems like a lot of us have said we need help being accountable--especially with logging in to MFP. I'm going to add that as one of my goals. Log in daily and complete my food diary. It's so easy and really there is no reason not to. Avoidance--yep, that's me averting my eyes and pretending I didn't go hog wild over the holidays.
  • I gained twenty lbs after I got married almost 3 years ago, I lost half of it but it keeps creeping back up again....I need to once and for all get it back off!

    Hi - I'd love to join in. My first goal is to lose sixteen pounds by St Patrick's Day.

    Week 1 [1/13-1/20] 176 lbs
    Week 2 [1/20-1/27]
    Week 3 [1/27-2/3]
    Week 4 [2/3-2/10]
    Week 5 [2/10-2/17]
    Week 6 [2/17-2/24]
    Week 7 [2/24-3/3]
    Week 8 [3/3-3/10]
    Week 9 [3/10-3/17]: GOAL: 160 lbs

    To help me on my way I've signed up to a swimming challenge which will start tomorrow and end on the 17th of March. Over that time I aim to swim the length of the Bosphorus - 34.39 k or 21 miles. While I'd love to try this for real, I'll actually be doing it in my local pool using Swim Tag. To keep me honest here is the link that will chart my progress - http://www.swimtag.co.uk/publicChallenge.xhtml?userChallId=968 . I'm a bit scared that I might have bitten off more than I can chew I love a challenge and I'm half Irish so this one seems appropriate!

    I put 20 pounds lost as my goal for this challenge although that seems high for that amount of weeks; but I have to have something to challenge myself. Also, I start the 30 day shred today so another goal will be to complete those 30 days - maybe not straight through but with an occasional rest day and then start on my next exercise program which will probably be the Chalean Extreme. I think I will be doing my 2nd 5K on March 1st so preparing for that to better my time from the first race will also be on my to do list.

    Week 1 [1/13-1/20] SW:?? (I will weigh on Wednesday and edit this for my starting weight, estimate is 214)
    Week 2 [1/20-1/27]
    Week 3 [1/27-2/3]
    Week 4 [2/3-2/10]
    Week 5 [2/10-2/17]
    Week 6 [2/17-2/24]
    Week 7 [2/24-3/3]
    Week 8 [3/3-3/10]
    Week 9 [3/10-3/17]: GOAL: 194

    Actual starting weight is 212.4!!!

    I always start these challenges off strong and then fade away so one of my goals is to be consistent. I 'm terrible about keeping a workout schedule/eating schedule and I want to fix that. My goal is to go to the gym 3 times a week, walk the dog (about a mile) 5 days a week and to log everyday. For weight loss, I'd like to lose about 11 lbs. I always set unrealistic goals for these challenges and then failing but I think 11 lbs is doable.

    Week 1 [1/13-1/20] SW: I'll be weighing in on Wed so I'll update then. Now I'm 301.4 lbs
    Week 2 [1/20-1/27]
    Week 3 [1/27-2/3]
    Week 4 [2/3-2/10]
    Week 5 [2/10-2/17]
    Week 6 [2/17-2/24]
    Week 7 [2/24-3/3]
    Week 8 [3/3-3/10]
    Week 9 [3/10-3/17]: GOAL: 285lbs

    Starting weight is 300lbs and I'm upping my weight loss goal to 15lbs which will put me at my lowest weight since I hit it on the way up :)
