    Hi there! I'm Kelsey :)
    I started my third round of 21df yesterday after a couple months hiatus from working out other than walking/jogging/hiking, and I began to slip on my healthy eating regimen, and it's beginning to show.
    Goals:
    - log meals, trying best to stick to 21df meal plan
    - workout each day
    - more water, much less sugar!

    Starting weight: 129
    Goal weight: 125

    Hi everyone! My name is Lilly.

    I have currently broken my plateau by losing 7lbs. I want to incorporate more weights into my work out and cut my mile time to 9 minutes by the time the challenge is over. I am currently jogging a 10:00 mile and need to cut the time.

    Welcome Kelsey! I assume 21df is a BeachBody program. I'm not familiar with that one, but they have great programs. Good luck!!!

    Welcome Dana!

    I've done a green challenge before. However I fell completely off the wagon and needed a more comprehensive challenge to get back on track. Good luck!

    Hi all! I'm Kaitlin. I've been on MFP for a couple of years, but after running 2 half-marathons this year and training like a beast, I've been in a cycle of declining motivation. This short challenge is perfect to get me back in the swing of things.

    Goal #1: Exercise 4x a week (2x bodypump class, 2x running)
    Goal #2: Reach 7500 steps everyday
    Goal #3: Log food, exercise, and water every day

    I'd like to lose 5lbs in the next 3 weeks. There's a lot more to lose after that, but for now I just need the jumpstart. Feel free to friend me, I'll add you back! :)

    Hi! I am Chamarlyn. I lost about 20 pounds last year and I am 3.4 pounds short of my starting weight now. Somewhere around Thanksgiving I got off track and need an extra push to get back on it.

    Goals:

    Goal #1: Drink only water, with the exception of 1 cup of coffee per day if wanted,
    Goal#2: Stay green with food and log every morsel that enters my mouth. I have a streak of 625 on MFP but I didn't always log my food and when I did it wasn't everything.
    Goal #3: Exercise at least 15 times in the 21 days (already completed for today)
    Goal #4: Increase my steps (I don't have a activity monitor -gave up on Upband; waiting for apple watch, but I will track as much as I can)
    Goal: Lose 10 pounds doing all of the above

    Height: 5'0
    Weight: 183
    Ultimate Goal weight: 140
    Goal by end of challenge: 173

    Hey Chamarlyn!!!! That's my cousin ya'll lol Her motto is, "if you bite it, you write it!" Mustard, cough drops, tic tacs, EVERYTHING!

    If you're new to MFP try the barcode feature on the app to log snacks. I log gum, M&Ms, etc. You might be surprised...

    Hi Kaitlin (Kikalique) I was wondering what your running regiment is? I just started running, and am trying to push myself to do a 5k or even a half marathon in the future. I went out the other day and ran 3 slow (11 min) miles without stopping. I would like to increase my speed, which will come with practice, but also my distance. Any recommendations?

    Green - log meals daily and stay GREEN

    Move - take 6,000 steps and log one workout daily

    Starting weight: 194
    Goal weight: 184

    I'm going to revise my water intake to 64oz. I'm using the aqualert app on my phone to keep track. It suggested 92oz but I normally drink NONE. I'm going to be more realistic as I feel as though I'm about to pop! lol

    Hi Kramer,

    If you ran 3 miles without stopping then you are in great shape! When I started, I used the couch to 5k app because I was not able to run for even five minutes without stopping. I'm not a fast runner at all; I focus more on distance and stamina. I like the Hal Higdon plans for all race distances. Most weeks involve 6 workouts- typically 2 short runs during the week, 2-3 cross training or strength training days, and 1 long run on the weekend. The best recommendation is to find a plan and regimen that you can stick to based on your schedule. Know that you can adapt plans as needed for your schedule and your goals. For example, my weeks were pretty busy, so I was rarely able to get the short runs in for the full amount (when training for a half marathon, short runs were still 5-6 miles!!), but I made an effort to at least run for 30 minutes. My half marathon time may not have been as fast as I wanted, but I finished! I'm happy to provide support or share resources I found useful as you start running more. Oh, and buy good running shoes if you don't have a pair already. Your knees will thank you.
