    My goals:
    1. to break the plateau I have suffered for two months. I'm at 156lbs. I would like to lose 3 lbs in the 4 weeks.
    2. to not eat anything sweet just before I go to bed. That is a tremendous challenge.
    3. to exercise at least 30 minutes a day.
    4. to log in my diary every day during the week. (Weekends I go to NY sometimes and there is no computer there. I don't have a smart phone).

    Hi Everyone,
    My name is Drew- my goal is to lose 96 lbs by New Years 2015
    3 years ago I lost 120lbs and over 3 years I found my way up near 66lbs and very disgusted with myself over that.
    I am committing to this challenge.
    Four weeks-
    I will post every day
    I will log my food and exercise everyday
    I will work out 4 days a week- including 10000 steps on Fitbit 5 days per week, 30 mins Treadmill 30 mins Recumbent Biking and Free Weight Work outs inbetween- workout with the Wii Person Trainer.

    Glad to be apart of this group!! I am ready!! Best of Luck to everyone...

    4 week goals:
    1. Eat 1200 calories/daily
    2. Log in every single item daily
    3. No booze for the next month! (this was my stress reliever, exercising will have to replace it now!)

    Hi everyone! Excited to join you!

    CW: 180
    GW: 165

    I was down to 168lbs in December, so I feel my goal is very achievable. I've been working out hard everyday doing the 30 day Shred workout and Pilates, and will get back to logging my meals. I would encourage everyone to try the 30 day Shred, it's an amazing program, it's easy and you will see amazing change fast (here is the level 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Pc-NizMgg8).

    This is my first time joining a challenge group and I am super ready to smash this!

    (Edited to add the workouts!)

    Drink Green Tea-
    Walk at least 10K steps daily
    Three cardio workouts a week
    Avoid as much sugar/bread as possible

    Hi Everyone! This is probably my second post-ever on MFP. Up until now I have been a lurker... :) I have decided that to be successful I need to use the support system along with the food tracking.

    >My goals for the next 4 weeks are:

    >Drink water! There are some days that I don't drink ANY! My ultimate goal is to drink 80 oz a day but over the next 4 weeks, if I at least drink 40, I will be happy.

    >Exercise at least 3 days a week.

    >Log EVERYTHING!

    >Plan my food so I know exactly what I am going to eat everyday. No bad choices that way!!

    I don't really have a weight loss goal. If I can get these things listed above done, I know that the weight will come off. :)

    Good luck everyone!!

    gw: 142

    I'm pretty new to MFP, and to losing weight in general. This is the first time I've been unhappy with the body tot he point of being motivated to lose weight. I've gained 10lbs in the course of a year, and I'd love to lose that while adopting a healthier lifestyle that doesn't involve night time snacking.

    My goals:
    Keep working on the C25k, I have asthma and I really want to do this!
    Lose 7lbs
    STOP SNACKING IN THE EVENING
    Stay within calorie range.

    CW ~ 180 :noway:

    GW ~ 130 :heart:

    I'm new to MFP and really like it. I started out okay and then had two bad days of eating horribly. This is my typical MO. Eat well and am really motivated for a while...... then fall and eat junk.

    My Goals for the next four weeks:

    Eat clean food
    Stay on track.....and if I mess up don't let it ruin the WHOLE DAY and keep eating junk!
    Try intermittent fasting. eat 8 ~ fast 16
    Lose 8 pounds in 4 weeks!
    DRINK more water!

    Hey!

    My current weight is 205 lbs.

    My goal weight is 160-170 lbs.

    Ways I plan to improve myself: Drink A LOT less soda, & A LOT more water. Start walking again. Visit the gym at least 3 times a week. Dance more with my kids.

    I'd be happy losing 5 lbs a month, but I suppose 10 lbs would be a great challenge too.

    I want to lose most of my baby fat by the time we move in August 2014.
