I'm here!

My goal is to start losing weight again -- I'll put 122 as my goal, but it really doesn't matter -- and to get back on my workout schedule. I think I have a mental block about actually doing a triathlon again, which was supposed to be my reward for the summer and being fit again. (I used to do them back when I was fit before, so this was a long-term goal of mine when I started losing weight in January '14, and I knew I wouldn't be ready by summer '14.) Something about it is scaring me (and I'm still a little uncomfortable with the clipless pedals on my new bike; I kind of wish I'd just left the standard pedals on), so I keep finding excuses to push back the tris I'm planning to do, which I think is one reason I've been struggling more with getting in my cardio sessions after being in really good bike shape in March. (High stress work thing and travel also derailed me over the past few weeks.)

So this is my challenge -- get back to it and start doing some triathlons. If I don't enjoy it, I'll just do one (I am sure I could finish an olympic length now), and most likely I will enjoy it and the fear will be greatly diminished.

I maintained throughout the last challenge, but really need to trim a few more pounds. I need to get back to cooking at home, and not eating out. Since we just moved on Friday, and our boxes are NOT unpacked, we've been eating out too much.

My goals are to lose 5#, ride my bike 5-10 miles a week, and unpack a box a day!

I'm currently adding a challenge each month to my original summer challenge of eating healthy, tracking my food and exercising like a boss....

I now exercise 30-45 min daily, this month I have added the squat challenge and the abs challenge and next month I'll be lowering my calorie intake from 1850 to 1600. I'm hoping to lose 15 lbs by Sept long weekend. And be down at least 1 size in clothes, but preferably down 2 as then I will be in the teens and I haven't been there since i WAS a teen! Good luck to everyone! and @freyjac if you'd like to add me as friend, I would be happy to encourage you as I see you improve! I know for ME that keeps me accountable...

I guess for this one my goal is to get on track and stay there. It would be nice to get out of the 200s by Labor Day. I'll work toward that and see how it goes.

I am at maintenance and my goal is to not gain during this time. I have lost a little, but my weight is staying stable. My main goal is to stay on track and keep up the activity and remain at this weight or lose a little, but no gain.

Well my goal is to eat clean/paleo diet as I am struggling with hypothyroidism, I have fallen off the wagon with my diet and logging.
I want to do yoga at least 4 day a week with 5 days of cardio and 3 to 4 days of strength training
As well as drink about 3 litres of water day. Hopefully with this I will lose the weight permanently. I hope I can lose 10 lbs by labor day.

My goals are:
1. Eat at a deficit (between 3500 - 7000 kcal deficit per week)... which ideally will mean 10+ lbs by the end of the challenge
2. Activity # priority is foot/ankle/body care, which means plantar fasciitis stretching in the morning, lunch, and before leave work, doing ankle rehab exercises 3x/week, general stretching 3x/week, and wearing my straussburg socks at night.
3. Other activity goals (given food/ankle doing OK) - weight training 3x/week (nothing putting pressure on ankle), dancing 3x/week, HIIT 3x/week (building up gradually due to ankle).

I want to lose I am not to choosey. I think that I want to aim for 10 lbs.

I'm treading water it seems, but okay with that since it's a learning experience too. I can't believe I haven't crossed into "overweight" from "obese" yet. Sure thought I'd be there by now. Hopefully will do that in THIS challenge. Thanks for keeping this going everyone!!
