As far as exercise goes, I want to keep working on toning up more and getting stronger. To help me stay motivated and not bored I am hoping to try more fitness classes at the gym, and making a goal of trying at least one new class a month. I am also planning on running my third half marathon in May, so a lot of my fitness will be directed towards running (at least for the first half of the year).
Congrats on the half marathons! That is amazing!! I'm super jealous as I want to just run a 5k. The clean eating is much easier than people make it. It makes you feel so much better inside and out when you choice to eat cleaner. I started about a month ago and it's fantastic!0 -
I realized I didn't say anything about my eating. I will be trying to eat healthier, and not eating out as much. I don't have much money, but still eat way too much fast food. I am going to try and eat healthier while still trying to stay in a very small weekly budget.0

great job hoping to lose at least 20 lbs. on this team
starting a new part time job and looking for a fulltime
job has been stressfulWicklowWanderer wrote: »Goal for 2016 is hitting my goal weight of 135 lbs and maintaining it- I'm around 17 lbs away. I'd also like to get back to running regularly, injury free.
No special plans other than to get back on track after Christmas with what I've been doing so far- eating less and moving more. I've lost 25 pounds since August with this routine and managed it easily enough. I know now what works for me and more importantly, its sustainable for life rather than a quick fix. I know that I won't work out every day but I don't have to. Sensible eating, regular intense movement twice a week (roller derby, trail running) along with the occasional Jillian Michaels morning shred works just fine. More importantly, I still eat cheese, chocolate, the odd bit of bread and pizza. Wine, coffee. Nothing is banned. If I thought I had to give something up forever, it would be all over.
My resting heart rate now sits around 56 bpm- it's a sign my fitness is improving which will inspire me to keep moving.
Good luck everyone!
Sounds like you are off to a great start! I've found that portion control is the key for me as well, anytime I have said that I was going to give up something it is a recipe for disaster.

waiting on my CIZE to come.Etherlily1 wrote: »Things I'm Doing 2016:
1) Decreasing chemical intake. For instance, a friend handed me some "lemon" water he had purchased. It had the aftertaste of the junk you drink in preparation for a colonoscopy. I checked the ingredients and lemon juice wasn't amongst them. This step is for both physical, mental (who knows what effects are happening due to the chemicals), and spiritual.
2) Walk a minimum of 5,000 steps/day
3) No soda.
4) No sweet tea (I'm in the South, that's a bit hard)
5) No adding sugar to things.
6) Complete Jillian Michaels (The Screaming Lady) 90-Day Body Revolution
7) Meditate Daily
8) Do daily journal to check my mood in order to spot emotional triggers for binges and find ways to cope with them in a helpful manner. The hope is to get good enough to be able to end a craving before it has actually started.
9) Very limited fast food. (Keep calorie amount within normal home meal limit)
10) Once Michaels' program is complete move onto Les Mills' Body Pump (LOVE This program)
11) Complete Zombies! Run! 5K training, and move back into doing story episodes of the regular Zombies! Run! game. It tracks if you're moving or not, and I got some nice shirts for this running. 1) "If Zombies chase me I'm tripping you." 2) The hardest part about the Zombie Apocalypse is pretending I'm not excited, and 3) I'm training for the Zombie Apocalypse.
I've become a BeachBody junky! lol. It's just that their programs WORK.
I love BeachBody too. I picked up the new Shaun T program of Cize. It's crazy! I love it though. It also has the food container that the Fix does.

My goal is to get back to doing my 10,000 steps a day. That got totally sidetracked with the birth of my grandbaby who had major health issues. I am her main caregiver while her mom works. I actually put on 20lbs this year sadly. Now that her health is better and she is almost a year old, I plan on getting my steps in and eating a cleaner and leaner diet. Move more and eat less, right?!0

My focus for 2016 is to become healthy. I have about 90lbs to lose and I realize it is going to take a year or more. I've finally come to accept that it has to be a lifestyle change, which I have been resisting for so long. My goal for this challenge is to
1. plan meals
2. log everything
3. get back to 11,000 steps per day.0 -

looks like I might have to manually log my walking, as my fitbit died last night and I'm in the process of getting a new one on eBay. I'm hoping to get it sooner rather than later.0

My Plans For Losing Weight in 2016: I plan on doing a lot of strength exercises and committing to going to the gym for a minimum of 3 days a week. Also, I will commit to changing my diet to be as paleo friendly as I can get it. I also want to run my first 5k this year.0

My plans for 2016 are drinking more water and taking my vitamins every day. Getting to my goal weight of 150lbs. Starting up yoga again. And reading and meditating for my mental strength and health too!0

I've went to the gym before and always felt inadequate because all the other guys there were like super fit and I was overweight (edging on obese) at the time. Since November, i've been doing at home workouts and had moderate success, losing more than 25lbs and getting into the healthy BMI range. My goal is to continue, reach my goal weight then work on getting more muscles at the gym without feeling like a loser and self-concious while there.
You should set a date to go to the gym and just GO! I wanted to go to the swimming pool for a long time to take aquasize classes and swim laps, but I was too self conscious. Finally, I just challenged myself to do it. I signed up and started going and it has become my favorite workout! I could kick myself for not having the courage to do it before. I thought about it for nearly 9 months before I did it. That was 9 months of wasted time that I could have been getting more fit and enjoying a fun activity. Who cares what other people are doing? You are there to compete with yourself, not compare yourself to anyone else!
Your advice has been turning in my head for over a week XD So I just did that, fixed a day to go to the gym! (In two weeks, right after I finish my midterms)

I did well in 2014 to break through a plateau and got down to 199 lbs in Dec 2014.
2015 I regressed quite a bit and added on about 30 lbs so my goal for 2016 is to get *below* 199
2015 was also a year of regression for me too! I'm excited to get back to the basics logging food, staying under my calorie goal and get MOVING!!0 -
I've been active on MFP for about a month now, and I've lost about 5 lbs. But most of all I feel so much better and having this community is great. My goals this year are to get back down to 150 (even lower is better but gotta start somewhere), to drink more water, and to be more active, even if that means just walking more. I also want and need to quit smoking, and I'm working on that as well. As it goes though, so far this has been the toughest part just like I knew it would be.0
