My name is Christine from Northern Virginia. My goal is to lose 17 lbs by the end of the year. I plan to reach my goal by doing the Daniel Plan which is the 5Fs - Faith (Christian living), Focus (things I am grateful for daily), Food, Fitness and Friends. Food is basically eating clean, no refined and processed food. I plan to incorporate LCHF - low carbs and high fat (healthy fat). I plan to work out 5 times a week for 45 mins to an hour.:heart:

    Thanks for starting this Christine.

    My name is Amy. I currently reside in Nevada but Oregon is home. I feel best when I am fit and active. My goal is to lose 15lbs by the end of the challenge. I am planning on achieving my goal by exercising, eating healthy and calculating calories and macros for the first time. I love the gym but am listening to my trainers and only working out 4 times a week. I am lifting and doing cardio 3 times a week and doing some intense power yoga for the 4th workout. Sometimes I do yoga on my rest days but keep it relaxing and easy. I am really trying to develop healthy sustainable habits I can maintain.

    Hi :)
    I live in the uk and will start at around 388 lbs. i am still debating what i want to write down as a goal. Something tough to keep me extra motivated or something less extreme? I hope to be somewhere between 330 and 350 lbs by the end of the year. I will do that by continuing what i am already doing: 10 or more hours in the pool each week and eating at a deficit.

    Hi Im Curly from the UK (north east)
    Hoping to get down to 10.5 stone (not overweight any more) by 2015. Really any decent change would be ok though as I haven't moved for over a year now :-)
    I have just started cross fit 3 times a week, have currently got very achey arms, but determined!

    Thank you Christine! I love the mantra the 5 F's! (Faith, Focus, Food, Fitness, and Friends)!

    I am Mary from New York. My goals are to lose 15 pounds by the end of the year. My biggest issue is staying focused, so I will concentrate on that :happy:

    Currently going to the gym 2-4 times a week, trying to up that to a minimum of 3 times as week and to stay focused and track all that I eat, no matter what.

    Hello! I'm Alison from Florida. My goal is to lose 25 lbs by the end of the year (my ultimate goal is 50 after that.) I'm cutting out refined sugary treats, reducing portion sizes, eating more wholesome food and just minding my calories.

    Hi Im April, in from wakefield in the UK. I would like to loose 14lb during this challenge, and plan to be comfortably able to run 5k i can happily do 3k and have done 5k in the past but not even attempted it for a good few month.
    I plan to loose this weight by running x3 week, swimming x1 a week, then i kickbox and do karate and should also be starting jujitu soon, During this challenge i will be doing the next step towards my black belt in kickboxing, i have a brown belt cdurrently and have one more assessment before my pre-dan to complete. I should make blackbelt in the next 4-6 months.
    I really could do with increasing my upper body strenght which i why i started swimming, i tend to swim mostly using my arms my legs jsut seem to follow.
    I havent been to well latly and have been eating quite a bit of rubish, and not attending my classess. i plan to change this by the begning of the challenge and am starting with a run this afternoon.

    Hey, my name is Mojca, I come from Slovenia.
    I was doing great on MFP at the beginning, which is 10 months ago, but now I think I need this challenge to get me motivated again.
    I would like to lose 25 pounds in 100 day. I'll try to achieve this by eating as clean as possible (with some cheat days) and exercise at least 4 times a week (walking and swimming).

    I wish good luck to everyone!

    Already altered my goal - maybe not overweight any more is too ambitious for 100 days ;-)
