Hey guys, now that we've all joined this group, let's discuss on what we're going to change to make our goal happen. There's a difference between saying something and doing it, and this might help us make that leap of faith. We have to be realistic! Its going to take a lot of effort and self-control, but its completely possible. It might be helpful for everyone to list their diet along with their work out plan for the next 3 months. We're all in this together now, and we have to motivate and push each other!
Below im posting my diet, along with a few excercises i aim to do! Please list yours as well if you can/want to share!
As for diet, I`ll be eating 1200-1300 calories, and adding more to fill up the calories i burned!
Going to be eating little cards, tons of greens and fruits! Breakfest every day, consuming almost 1/3rd the calories with a Banana, yogurt, whole grain toast and some pb/jelly or nutella with 2-3 glasses of water!
Lunch: Probably some salad with a healthy sandwich containing some sort of protein (chicken) and 2-3 glasses of water!
Dinner: Salad, water (finish off to drink 10 glasses a day!), some rice or some bread, with chicken breast
Snacks: Fruits & granola bars
I feel like that might be a realistic food diary!
As for the workout, depends on the day. Going to be a mix of the following:
-Elliptical: 30 minutes
-Weight Lifting: 30 minutes (a mix of them, don't know whats what is called)
-Skipping (Jump rope): 10-15 minutes
-T25 Workout program
-30 Jillian Micheal shred
So, what's you diet/exercise plan?
Also, if anyone has some nice tips&tricks, please feel free to share! Any input is helpful!

so glad i'm in, perfect timing!
my plan is to eat 3 meals a day with a chocolate snack about 3-3:30.
1200cals.
its how i ate when i was on holiday instead of snacking all day like i do now. going to include chocolate for now just because it seems to hard to give up all in one go.
like jillian m but may start with a walking dvd to start with (i'll see what i can find on youtube) as i haven't exercised for ages & work up to jillian. see how i feel tomorrow
Best of luck everyone!0 -
Hello...Challengers!
I'm planning on consuming 1200sh cal a day! Eating everything but in a small portion! So I know I'm adapting a healthy life style!
Going to exercise anything anywhere! Burn at least 250 cal a day!
Good luck to us:flowerforyou:

I've been walking for 20 minutes 6 days a week (off on Fridays) and riding the stationary bike 6 days a week at the gym. Using some light weights for upper body, too. I've started counting my daily steps. Trying to top 10,000 a day, including or excluding aerobic steps. I've been sticking pretty close to 1200 a day. Once in a while I'll use some of my exercise calories. This has been working for me, so far.0

I have one tip that has made it easier for me keeping my diary and deciding on my final meal. After every new meal (I almost always eat out), I save it to "My Meals." When I title it, I put the number of calories first. Like: "688 Pei Wei Chicken Lettuce Wraps with 1/3 sauce." You can then sort them by name. That way, after breakfast and lunch, when I'm trying to decide what to have for dinner, I look at how many calories I have remaining, and can choose a dinner from the list. The lettuce wraps would be a choice if my balance was 688 or higher. The longer you are here, the more meals you log, the more choices you have! Sure makes it easier at the end of a busy workday. I usually make the decision before I work out, so I don't use too many workout calories, even though I don't eat until after working out. You could do it with meals you fix at home, too.0

Hi all :-) I am also doing 1200 cals/day. I tend to eat 2-3 meals a day and a protein shake after my workout in the evenings. I am doing the C25K program right now and do some lifting as well. I would like to incorporate more lifting into my routine but I workout at night and there isnt anyone in the gym for me to harass about helping me :-(0

I'm not going to share my diet, but my workout plan, that I'll share.
This group was made with perfect timing. Swim season starts today so as of now I will be swimming at least 5 days a week for 2.5 hours, for 3 months.
No, not chillin' at a pool.
I mean doing laps, approximately 200-250 laps in one time period.
I'm a backstroker.

Lol I'm still in bed. XD0 -
I'm eating 1600 calories/day, trying to go grain-free. Cutting way back on sugar, just continue having a bit of chocolate. Today I'm doing an intense 45 minute workout class. I use a Fitbit; going for 10000+ steps a day.
I actually started last week and lost 2 pounds right away, then have been steady for the last 5 days. Hoping to see the scale move soon!0 -
Hey everyone! Today is actually my first day of trying to eat intuitively, so I am not counting calories. I get way too obsessed, and Ive dealt/am still dealing with some disordered eating that started 15 yrs ago (compulsive over-eating, restricting, binge/purge, you name it).
Im just really trying to listen to my body's hunger cues, subtle satiated feelings and eating slowly. Going to be sticking mostly to healthy food but if I am hungry for something that is not as healthy, I will have an appropriate portion size and enjoy it.
Exercise-wise, I am aiming for go for more regular walks, and maybe throw in a workout dvd here and there. Im a sucker for Richard Simmons
Actively trying to lose weight is a little contradictory to Intuitive eating (reading the book now) but I am very heavy at 262lbs on my (large) 5'4" frame so I have a feeling that eating smaller portions of healthy filling food and getting regular exercise, if even just a walk (those two things I was NOT doing on a regular basis prior to a few weeks ago) will help me slim down naturally.
Good luck, everyone! Let's lose this weight!

Yeah! Thank you for the invite! I've been here 3 weeks, and I am finally adding friends.
I have 1200 cal/day, but I find it hard to get them all in- usually I have 50-150 left.
I changed my settings to 40/30/30 P/C/F- the lower carb seems to work for me.
3 weeks ago SW 252, 3 weigh-ins of 246.2, 243.2, 240.8. 11.2 lbs. lost so far!
I have a bad hip, so I go to the grocery store, grab a cart, and do 15 minutes around the store. I also do the "routine" at http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1183840-beginner-s-workout-plan-only-for-newbies.
I love a challenge! Loking forward to sharing this journey with you all.0 -
I cant lower my cals too low or I wont lose, so I will keep mine between 1500-1800. I will exercise about 5 days a week doing various exercises including: Crossfit, circuit training, aerobics, HIIT, stationary bike, and walking when the weather breaks. I will keep track of my weekly calorie goals and not go over for the week. There are times that I will go over for the day, but have intentionally banked a few extra hundred cals for something special. My biggest challenge is drinking water!! I WILL drink at least 8 glasses a day, but hoping for 10

I'm going to eat between 12-1300 calories/day, and really focus on my running (the amount of ice this year has made it really hard to keep on top of this).
I'm going to have a fairly light breakfast, at around 7, a big lunch and then a snack around 5:30-6 to hold me over until dinner. I'm still not sure on what kind of snack, as I'm usually starving and end up eating dinner at around 9:30-10ish, but I also don't want to eat all my dinner calories...0 -
I'm eating 1400 to 1500 calories/day. Trying to focus on staying within that. I've pretty much have taken out carbs which are my down fall. Eating lots of veggi's, fruit and meat/fish.
Struggling with breakfast idea's and getting enough protein in a day.
For my excercise I do 3 times a week Power Plate vibration for 30 min. and trying to get in 2 days on my elliptical at 30 min.

I'm eating 1400 Cal, with lots of Veggies, Fruits and Protein & I go to the gym 3-4x a week, hopefully by the end of the month I'll increase it to 5x/week and reduce my carb intake0

Hi I saw that you changed your setting for your P/C/F - how do I change mine, cause my carbs is to high and would like to lower mine also - Thanks!0 -
Hello Group: I am going to stick to keep net calories at 1200; exercise (cardio) a minimum of 4 days a week, drink minimum of 64oz water daily, eat more protein and less carbs and limit sugar.0

I'm doing 30day Shred mixing it up between Level 2 & 3 so I don't get bored of same workout everyday, I then have Focus T25 after I've done 30DS!
I genuinely can't eat 1200 cals a day, I normally come in under 1000 but this works just fine for me!
I'm currently in day 6 of my 2nd round of losing 2stone (30lbs) since having my daughter 3yrs ago, I just hope this time it will happen quicker as I'm more focused! (I had bad post natal depression after my daughter was born so no focus or interest in anything).
I also use a heart rate monitor which I've noticed gives me extra motivation to hit a certain cal burn when im exercising n feel like I'm dying lol
1st weigh in tomorrow & measurements next wkend (fortnightly)
Fingers crossed ladies, please add me as I need as much encouragement n motivation as possible!
Good luck everyone! X0 -
I plan to eat about 1200 calories a day as well or a little more on the days that I workout.
My exercise plan is to do 30 minutes of aerobic activity a day, on some days more if I can get out for a walk at lunch time.
I will add in some weight training after a month or so. Just had my 57th birthday so lots of cake and wine but am back on track now and plan to really try to stay within the calories and be consistent.0
