    Perhaps a group would be a better place to have this challenge? Did you start one already? I saw the sticky post about how challenges like this should be groups instead, to allow for better posting/support over time.

    I am so glad to see this. This is exactly what I need. I'm 100% guilty of not logging on bad days and I know it doesn't help me reach my goal any faster by ignoring what I did and not seeing that glowing red number at the bottom of my tallies. I just turned 27 and I have about 160 lbs to lose now. The last year I've been working on my bingeing/emotional eating with therapy and with that more or less under control now, I'm beginning to focus on the weight loss aspect of my journey.

    I want to reach my goals. I'm fully committed, and getting more consistent with my food logging is only going to help me more. And I guess I really can't say that I'm "fully committed" unless I'm tracking everything I eat, right?

    Thanks to ghenne for the good advice. I'm working on making this into a group today. Stay tuned :)

    I am all about this group. I've been off and on the wagon so many times that I'm really interested in keeping track. I've got 25lbs to lose and I am feeling motivated. I know that feeling doesn't last so having some extra encouragement will be a HUGE help.

    100 days sounds great to me. I'm on Day 4 today. I'm liking that I now have a food budget and can add an allowance when I exercise. I'm about 15 lbs from my all time low last year but have successfully kept off the bulk of what I have lost (90 lbs). I'm probably older than most, but that's okay. Perhaps that will make the rest of you feel encouraged. I didn't start being very successful with significant weight loss until I was 40. I'm happy that people are making great efforts at earlier ages. More good information is available now but still controversy or the latest tweaks. I try to find the truth that a lot of professionals agree upon.

    Day 5 of MFP100: Feeling awesome because I ate a piece of icecream cake at work and then entered it into MFP. I noticed that the cake wasn't as many calories as I assumed. Instead of feeling like I had blown my whole day and going crazy at the vending machine I've kept up with eating low calorie meals. If I keep going like this for the rest of the day I'll probably stay beneath my daily calorie goal.

    Count me in!!

    My name is Laura and I am 25. I know that tracking everything is so important!I did so good tracking last year and as a result looked and felt great. With an injury and a new job I started slacking on my tracking and gained back some of the weight that I had lost. I am ready to recommit! Let's do this together! :)

    I am in. I have been on and off for food and workout tracking. I need to lose 15 lb to achieve my goal. I don't want to have any excuses and count me in.

    I'm in. I'm on day 41...so day 141 will be a perfect goal.

    I'll be 30 in 2 months and I want to look adorable in my birthday party pictures. And then live as long as possible.

    I have PCOS so I really should stick to a no white carb plan. That's my other new [personal] goal. I could easily lose at least 70+ pounds, but would be happy with 49. I like to hike at least once a week and I go to hot yoga twice a week. I just need to get my *kitten* together and stop loving food so much...

    I'm Shoe, I was a skinny highschool kid but gained 90 lbs in college to get to my weight 2 months ago (260) at age 31 I decided to do somethign about it.

    I'm at day 49 and I've already lost 26 lbs. I literally do not eat if it isnt in the log and it's the only thing that's got me losing. I'm in, but I hope to get more than 100!

    I'm currently on day 27 (I think) and I'm definitely going to try and log for 100 days! After trying so many times to lose weight and constantly gaining it back I finally feel like my head is in the right place. Haven't even had a treat day yet because I don't want to mess my weekly goals up and I haven't even felt like I wanted one! Please feel free to add me! I'm at the start of a very long journey!

    I'm still doing the challenge but logged late one night and the system bumped my streak to start again! Oh, well. It is in there... That's desperation to have me be on the elliptical after midnight. Keep logging!

    I'm in on this. Currently on day 25 of a streak so another 75 days sounds good! My name is Emma and I live in Scotland. Have around 60 pounds to lose to meet my goal weight. I like to run and my main aim is to lose the weight so my times come tumbling down. And to just feel good about myself again!

    Feel free to add me if you want!
