Hi Everyone!! Happy to be here!
I'm Jamie from NY.
My goals are to loose about 15 lbs by the end of the year. Overall I think I'd like to lose about 20-25 but I'd have to see how I like my figure after shedding a bit. I've been here (on this round of MFP) for almost 75 days and sadly I have about .5lbs loss to show for it. I know exactly how to maintain my weight as I've been stuck here around 150ish for like 3 years now, what I don't know how to do (consistently) is lose weight. I'm hoping the motivation and support from this group will help :-D0 -
Hello! I'm Amanda, I'm from Kansas. My goal is to be smaller than a size 20 by the end of the year overall, not just on the smallest part of me. I'm going to do this by continuing to log, log, log, and exercise (cardio + strength training + yoga). Really excited to get a jumpstart on my journey!0

Hi, I'm Suzanne from Toronto.
I'm currently 173.4 and would be ecstatic to lose 18 lbs between now and the end of the year, and achieve my ultimate goal weight of 155, but that's not very realistic. I'm aiming for at least 10 lbs lost and would like to break 160 by NYE. The last 10 lbs is going to be a grind, but this time around I am super focused and motivated! Can't wait to rock this challenge!0 -
Hi,
My name is Anne Marie and I am from Orlando, fl. My goal is to lose 13 pounds and to be down to 140 by the end of the year. My ultimate goal is to be at 124. Last year I started a desk job and my lifestyle went from very active to sedentary. I plan to lose the weight by going back to my old ways. I still sit at a desk all day, but I have a FitBit and track all my steps. I also plan to start running again (knowing I used to run 5-6 miles is depressing yet motivating). I will also track everything. The thing that will be the hardest for me is not downing lots of beer on the weekends while watching football! Good luck to all!0 -
Hi
I'm Lisa and I'm from Medford NY (Long Island). My goal is to be ready to wedding dress shop next year. And for that I promised myself a 30 pound weight lose first. I also want to get back off the diabetes meds and start being diet controlled again.
To achieve these goals, I have set goal! I started the triple 100 challenge today, that's 100 days of 100 sit up and 100 push ups. This is harder then I thought it would be. I also signed up for a few FUN runs. The turkey trot thanksgiving morning and the holiday hohoho run the Saturday before Christmas. I started the couch to 5K training, I fell in love with running two years ago but got side tracked by injury. I also cut back almost removing carbs (the bad ones that is from my diet) and INCREASING my veggies - Veggies at every meal!
Well I wish you all the best of luck. I can't wait to see everyone's finished products!0 -

Hi,
I'm Laura, from England. Currently just over 140lbs, aiming for 133lbs by the end of the year, potential end goal closer to 126, but I'm not too sure. Aiming for 'toned' more than losing a lot of weight but not sure how I will manage that yet.
I do badminton and zumba once a week, but I will be trying to eat cleaner and stay under 1500 calories, and also try and fit in 2/3 extra workouts at home (depending on aches) each week.
Good luck everyone!0 -
My name is Kylie and I'm from Syracuse, NY. By the end of the 100 day challenge I would like to weigh around 150, I am currently 180. I plan on achieving this by continuing to go to the gym and workout with my personal trainer and also start eating healthy and right!0

Hello,
My name is Martha, I live in Orange County CA, my goals are to gain more stamina and loose weight along the way,
I plan on following a healthy diet plan, counting my calories and kicking my own *kitten* 6 days a week with a workout.
Now, I have a lot of weight to loose, but I plan on being patient doing it slowly. Not expecting unrealistic goals like -6 pounds a week, I now have a different mentality and approach i'm gonna kick my own *kitten* and shoot for minus 1-2 pounds a week!0 -

My Name is Nicole.
I live in California.
My ultimate goal is to loose 20lbs and get into shape.
My goal for the challenge will be to get as close to that goal as possible. I realize the more weight that I loose, that my rate of weight loss will slow. So, I'm going to set my goal for the challenge at 15lbs.
Its going to get difficult around the holidays but I'm hoping that joining this group will hep me stay on track. Last year I actually gained 15lbs during the holiday season! I am going to do everything in my power to avoid holiday treats, and bad eating choices. I'm on a good start. I've been eating healthy and loosing weight, I just need to keep it up.0 -
Hi.
my name is Debbie. I live in Kansas. I would like to lose 24 pounds. That is 8 pounds a month. I hope to achieve this by not eating after 7pm. and working out everyday on my Gazelle, also eating more healthy food . I have changed my activity level to lightly active as I have recently sprained my ankle. I know that if I go over a bit on my daily calories then when I get all my calories burned for the day I have left over calories at the end of the day.0 -

Walking off the failures of this weekend.
Promised my friend Deahna that I would reach my goal weight for our challenge with another friend by her birthday Nov. 17th. That is 7 weeks to lose 17 lbs. That would put me at 199 which is my record weight. After, I hope to maintain that until the end of the year.
Aside from that I have made my goals from now until May (graduation)
Dunk a basketball
10 pull ups
1 handstand push up
1 leg squats
2 or 3 bridge progressions
Tris>Bis
1 rep bench 200lbs
190 lbs ripped
2 personal training certifications

Name: Cara, 28
State: Massachusetts
Goals: I'd like to be 165 by new year (~20 lbs). I know that its aggressive and may not happen. I'll be happy meeting 169lbs since that will get me out of the "obese" range and into the "overweight" range. I know a lot of people don't put much stock in BMI, but I think the overall ranges are pretty accurate for me.
How: I'm trying out TDEE. I've been using the MFP method, but feel like I'm overeating on workout days and undereating on rest days. TDEE should level that out. I've been running (and strength training), but planning on taking winter as my off months for running. I'll be starting P90X in mid October (if I get the dvds back from a friend they were loaned out to). I'm hoping that it will up my fitness level in a different way from running and should help out my strength training too.0 -

Name: Katrina
State: GA
This morning I reached a short term goal which was to remove the pesky 10# I put on from multiple vacations and recovering from a torn meniscus. I said adios to those bad boys and am ready to continue on my quest for fitness and health. I do a combination of kettlebell, trx and functional fitness (push ups, planks, squats etc) 3 days a week at the gym. I also do Zumba 2 to 3 evenings a week. I try to keep it real with a nice mix of protein, complex carbs and healthy fats allowing for the occasional indulgence. I had a couple of health setbacks that snuck up on me the last 12 months but I have managed to power through them and hope that is the end of that! I look forward to participating in this challenge and hope it is mutually beneficial to all.0 -

How: I'll be working out between 5-6 days a week. I'm on a 10k training plan so that should help burn some fat but I will also be lifting weights and doing pilates on 3 of those days. (I might even train for another 1/2 marathon...not sure yet) And I will start to eat in more moderation and a lot cleaner! Oh and i'm trying to consistently drink more water.0 -
Rachel and I'm from Yorktown, VA. My goals are pretty simple. Eat healthy and clean so I don't end up back in the hospital with another mini stroke! Since 1 July I've had to make drastic changes to my lifestyle because of the strokes. I was exercising regularly and although I was eating as best I could it wasn't enough. I've completely cut out salts and sugars based on two diagnoses, I walk at least 4 miles every day and I live on smoothies and small solid meals. I have friends who keep me on track but what I need is motivation and inspiration to keep this us and not fall off the wagon. I know there will be times I will, just need help getting back up! Looking forward to doing this challenge with all of you!:

Hello!
I currently live in Illinois. My goal is to be in the 150's by the end of the year. I put on the goal sheet to be AT 150, but I know 23 pounds is a lofty goal, so IN the 150's' would be a positive accomplishment. I have already lost 57 pounds, so I expect a plateau soon. I would prefer to not hit one, but in the past with weight loss, I plateaued in the 160's, so I am trying to prepare for it.
My other goals are to increase my protein intake and up my water intake (by a lot).
I plan to reach my weight goal by doing above-mentioned interventions, walking (would love to run, but not in the cards right now), and eating within my calorie range.0 -
