Name: Lauren
State: Oklahoma
Goals: At 100 days, I want my weight to be down from current (184.6) to 150. It's 2.4 pounds per week, and I believe I can do it. After 100 days, I want to continue going until I reach 135-140. I want to feel sexy in my own body, instead of hiding from the mirror.
Recipe for Success: Stay within my calorie limit each day, and STOP BINGE EATING. No more "I'll start tomorrow" or "I had 3 cookies already, I should just eat the whole box and not buy any more." Those days are done. I'm also starting a fit camp in two days, and afterwards I'll incorporate exercise into my weekly habits. I want to walk the dog more, too.0 -

Thanks for adding me!
My name is Suzanne. I live in Canada. My goal is to lose 12-15 pounds by 2015. My non-scale goals are to be able to fit my wedding rings back on, achieve a "normal" BMI, and to get into my pre-baby clothes again.
I plan to achieve this by eating within my calorie goals (set at 1 lb loss per week) and by exercising regularly. Right now I'm working on JM's Ripped in 30 and going for lots of walks.
Add me if you'd like, but if you could, please tell me that you're from this group too!0 -

Recipe for Success: Keep up with my current eating habits and setting milage goals to stay motivated in the gym; set mini goals regarding spending and plan for necessary expenses in the next 100 days; make time for cooking and use seasonal veggies; utilize resources from library whenever possible.
This group has exploded and totally surpassed my expectations! I'm so happy to have so many people on board - this thread could be very valuable in the future to remember what brought us here. Only two days until we start - get in your information on the spreadsheet!0 -
Hi guys, I'm Selina and live in Auckland, New Zealand.
I'm currently around 88kg and would like to be around 75kg by the end of the 100 days.. My eating is pretty tight at the moment and I do a bit of walking on treadmill and cycling on a stationary bike as I have a knee injury preventing me from doing some things (would love to be able to run!)
Good luck to you all and can't wait to hear everyone's progress!0 -
My name is Lyn. I live in Canberra, Australia. I started my weight loss journey at 127 kg and am down to 103.4. I got as far as 91 but it's slowly creeping up. I find that no matter what I do I lose at the slowest of paces. I own a treadmill and exercise bike, so I hereby commit to 300 minutes of exercise a week. I would love to be 95 kg by the end of this challenge.0

My name is Erica and I live in Southern California. I've recently returned to MFP after having left because I was pregnant. Unfortunately, we lost the pregnancy at 9.5 weeks; but before that I spent 7 weeks on the couch nauseated and on bed rest. Needless to say, I gained weight that I'd like to take off now. That was our fifth loss in 14 months, and all together I'm up about 45 pounds now. My goal for the last 100 days of 2014 is to put a 20 lb dent on that number. I will do that by counting/logging caloric intake, returning to a mostly paleo diet, resuming exercise four times a week, and making lifestyle changes such as taking the stairs at work.0

Hello Everyone,
I'm Liz and live in London. I would love to lose 20 by end of 2014.
I strive to eat a balanced diet, walk as much as I can and go to a weekly Pilates class.
I am in a good place right now. I need to be consistent and keep it going. I here for you all and I hope you will be here for me.0 -
Hello! I am from Rhode Island, a recent empty-nester living alone with my husband for the first time (second marriage; the kids came before he did!) and I want to use this time to re-focus on my health. And let's face it - I want to look better. At 51, I think this will only help my career and my general outlook.
I have about 85lbs to lose total, let's say 20lbs during this challenge. My plan is to exercise 5 days a week (yoga and treadmill). I am halfway through a Whole30 program, which is 30 days of eliminating foods (very similar to Paleo) then careful reintroduction to determine food sensitivities. Technically, I will be breaking a Whole30 rule by weighing in for my starting weight here (you're not supposed to weigh-in for the whole 30 days) but I'm eager to get in on the ground floor of this end of year challenge. The timing could not be better0 -

Hi! My name is Deb, 58 yrs, from Illinois, married, retired, and I'm getting sloppy with my eating plan. I need to get back on track!
My goal is to lose 20 by the end of 2014. This should be doable, but only if I get in more exercise and follow my eating goals of 5-6 high protein meals per day.
Currently weigh 200 lbs and long term goal is 160... I may change that to 150 lbs the closer I get to 160!0 -

Hello everyone! This is Niharika. I am from India.
My goal would be to lose at least 20 pounds in these 100 days.
I would be focusing on being regular as I don't usually stick to things, but this time I'll give it my best shot. So I'll be eating clean, logging in my diary daily and of course, exercising daily for 20-30 minutes at least.
Hoping to hear from all of you regularly. Let's keep each other motivated and reach our goals together!0
