Hey Loves!!!

Feel free to introduce yourself here and list the items that you will be giving up OR adding to be the best you in 100 days. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not bash anyone for having a bad day or time. We are here to support and uplift not judge. It will be a struggle for some more than others. Keep in mind this is to better our spirits along with our bodies. I am excited to see the progress...

Sooooo, here it goes!

My Name is Inesha, but you can call me Nesh...

My Challenge Items:

No Sweet Tea/Soda
No more than 100 calories a day for candy/sweets
2 cheat meals per week if needed
80oz of water a day minimum
Run 3-4x a week
Lift Heavy 3-4x a week

This is OUR CHALLENGE...we can do WHATEVER we put our minds too! Let's rock this out and give it our all!!!

Forgot to add some kind of starting measurement. I don't know my weight and I don't care to know...EVER! But, I do know I want my natural waist to get down to a 26-27 and my belly button to get down to 32. Right now my natural waist is sitting nice at a 29 and my belly button is sitting at 36...and won't budge, lol...even though it looks so. I'm good with my other measurements...I just want to recomp those and have them get more firm instead of being soft. So there ya go!

    I am Kathryn nice to meet you all.
    5´4"
    24.5 lbs. of fat
    93 lbs. of lean mass
    117.5 lbs.

    Goal for the next 100 days.
    17 lbs of fat
    93.5 lbs. of lean mass
    110 lbs.

    I am giving up:

    Cheating days, processed foods, sweets, bread, diet coke zero (already gave up the others a while ago)

    Limit my fruit intake to max 2 pieces per day of low glycemic ones.

    1500 calories/day of clean eating.

    Drink from 8 glasses to a gallon of water, specially before meals.

    2x Week Strength Training Full body workouts

    For cardio only walking since it lowers cortisol levels, the other cardio lowers decreases my lean mass, and too much exercise increases appetite.

    3 things seems simple enough, doesn't it?

    1. Do Yoga at least 5 days a week (I am horribly inflexible).
    2. Take 30 minutes every day to either walk/ run/ bike
    3. Slow down the binge eating (trade that Totinos for veggies and dip me thinks)

    Hello, I'm Kris. I started MFP quite a while ago and had lost 85 lbs, but 6-7 months ago I had several life changes and wasn't tracking stuff as I should. Add in a lot of stress-eating and less moving around and - surprise surprise - about 35 lbs came back. I'd really like to get back to ONEderland in time for summer, but definitely by September for a wedding I will be in.

    My goals for this are:
    1) to greatly limit soda (12oz can a day max)
    2) cut out candy
    3) Return to drinking at least 64oz a day of water.

    So Challenge start weight: 229.9 as of 3/12/14
    Challenge end goal weight: <200
  • Hello, my name is Krista.

    I hope to get down to my goal weight in the next 100 days. It only means losing 10-15 pounds.

    Giving up 3 things, eh?

    Hmm...

    1) Eating when lying down. Must sit up. No more couch/bed mindless eating.
    2) Not keeping track on MFP. That's more of a "do" than a "don't", but it works.
    3) Eating crappy treats at work, when people bring them in.

    I guess I should also make sure to work out a lot. That's too vague, I should plan each week what I'm going to do, and then do it.

    Thanks for your support!

    Well...the first temptation has been administered and I PASSED! I was going to reach for another piece of the chicken parmesan I made for dinner and looked at the clock...it was 930...1.5 hours after my cutoff. Of course at first my mind said, 'Its ok, no one will know.' But that's a lie, I would know, and then what kind of mess would that be...lol! So...if I can do this, you all can as well! :drinker: :bigsmile:

  • Hello!
    My name is Deb. I am 5'4 and hovering around 170lbs. After 2 years I have lost 80lbs and in the last 6 months I have gained 20 of it back. I am unwilling to gain anymore. I live a few miles from the beach and want to spend most of this summer in a bikini for the first time in my whole life.
    I really liked the way that a few of you have listed things that you are leaving behind but more importantly what you are planning on adding into your life so that's what I'm going to do too!
    Leaving behind:
    Alcohol (This is probably the hardest for me to do without, which is slightly shameful)
    Processed sugars
    Going all day without eating

    Adding:
    Excising a minimum of 3x a week hopefully closer to 5x
    Self-affirmations everyday (*sigh* I don't believe in this now but I can't ignore the research anymore)
    Eating every 3 hours or so
    Finding new foods to cook

    My hope is that with new friends and community support and accountability I can really get rid of the rest of this bulge.

    What reaching my goals really means:
    Fitting into the "skinny" clothes I bought and barely wore
    Seeing more muscle than fat
    Wearing a bikini and feeling good about it
    Feeling good in my own skin and knowing that it has more to do with the inside than my actual skin

    These next 100 days are going to include physical challenges but a lot of emotional challenges as well. 100 days to go and feeling hopeful! Glad to have company on this journey.

    Giving up:

    1. Evening snacks
    2. Stay out of co-workers candy bowl

    Adding:

    1. Exercise in the morning at least 10-15 minutes a day
    2. Get up every hour from my desk at work even to stretch or march in place
    3. Don't use elevator (even when my arms are loaded down)

    Good luck everyone!

    Hi, I'm Sharon

    5 ft 3 & 186 lbs. Ugh, but that's why I'm here.

    I'm going to Cancun in 105 days so this is perfect timing for me!

    Giving up:

    - sodium - I'm a salt addict. Used the sea salt and just used more since I couldn't really taste it.
    - Coffee creamer - 120 calories a day wasted on one cup of coffee in the morning.
    - pasta, white bread and rice

    Taking up:
    - water - 100 oz a day.
    - exercise - 5 times a week 60 minutes each day. 3 days strength, 2 days cardio, and planks every darn day!

    Ready, Set, Go!

    Hello - a late joiner, but happy to be with you. I'm Elizabeth, rejoined MFP just yesterday. I had to give up running a couple of years ago and am still coping with weight issues since. I eat a plant based diet, for both health and ethical reasons, but live with omnivores so I do a lot of cooking. I garden, do yoga and walk a lot. Anyone training for a marathon or half? I haven't signed up for one but am anxious to walk one this summer. Oh, BTW I'm 61 and an active retiree and want to lose at least 10 pounds, again for health reasons.

    I see I forgot to post what I'll be giving up or adding. Giving up late day snacking - a little is OK if I'm hungry, then I'll do something else. I'll be adding more exercise. I've joined a yoga class which I really like, and will be doing daily exercise. I always think I walk every day, but find that I don't unless I work at it. The weather has improved greatly, so that will definitely help. I'll let you know what I see every day on my daily get outside and walk or bike or stroll.

    Hiya! I am Angie
    My weight has fluctuated from 130-160 since college. I am 5'4 and back up to 158. According to online calculators my body fat % is 32-38% depending on which calculation you do, and my BMI is 26.9

    My goal is to lose a few pounds and ideally to get in shape and build more muscle...and look and feel good in my bikini!

    I plan to:
    ~exersize more - even if it is just doing some squats, anything is better than nothing
    ~eat healthier - less processed, more veggies
    ~keep committed to watching my calorie intake and try not to go too much above my daily goal.

    looking forward to warm weather and summer!!
