90 Day Transformation Challenge - Jan 1 thru March 31

I would like to join in. I need to get moving and this challenge sounds great.

1. Nutrition goals - be more consistent in recording what I am eating. Less processed foods and drink more water/green tea.
2. Fitness goals - for January - at least 30-45 minutes of exercise four times a week. Then increase it as I go.
3. Measurements - I'll plug everything in tomorrow morning.

Looking forward to this!

Count me in - I actually posted something individually earlier in the day (wish I had seen this first) my birthday is March 30th and I turn 50-so a good 90 day marker

Unfortunately, 2016 was a year of illness and a new injury on top of an old one (back and abdominal) which led to one very unhealthy body. In October I found I couldn't climb 3 flights of stairs without stopping to catch my breath, ouch.

Today's stats (90 day goals are in parenthesis)
blood pressure: 150/82 (120/70)
Rest Pulse 80 bpm (70)
WT 151 lbs (140)
Waist 31.5 inches (28)
brisk walk/hills - cannot go 1/2 hour without stopping to catch my breath (1 hour without stopping)
Weights I can lift 4lbs 1set 10reps (10lbs 2sets 12 reps)

The Plan
CARDIO: Since most of my outdoor exercise will be in the woods (and no way to track miles) I will track time spent on cardio - 1st mini goal is to go 30 minutes without stopping and progress from there.
WEIGHTS: 3x per week I will add weights to my morning physical therapy exercises.
OTHER: Add yoga and indoor biking - need to dig bike out of cluttered garage

The old back injury (car accident 30 years ago) has kept me very timid about pushing myself because I tend to get enthusiastic and overdo it and it's one step forward and 2 steps back. So slow and steady will be my pace-but please push me if I seem to be stuck in a rut.

TODAY:
30 minutes snow shoeing - lucky me, I live next to a hilly wooded lot (stopped to catch my breath a few times) saw a lot of tracks - now I need to find out what else is walking in the woods around me
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

Hi. Glad to have found this Post. I think a 3 month challenge is doable for me. I've been on the weight loss roller coaster for many, many years.
Nutriction Goals - My nutrition goal is to eat fresher, healthier and less processed food.
Fitness Goals - Because of knee, feet and asthma issues, I find it hard to walk very far or for great lengths of time but I am going to start with small distances..maybe half a kilometre every couple of days and build from there.
Weight - Oh dear... my starting weight is 121.4 kilos (shudder).
Here I go!!

Measurements: I am 5'5" weighing 213 lbs. Shirt size L/XL, Jean size tight 14. I am 40"-42"-48", thigh 28", upper arm is 15".

My doctor has told me I have to lose weight for my health (blood pressure, cholesterol, etc.). Right now I feel really motivated, however, I have started every weight lose program and fitness route before. So my ultimate goal for this is to complete it. Start, participate every day and finish after the 90 days.

Hello, and happy new year!

I'm Kate, and I'd like to join. I recently turned 35, and I am looking to get back in shape after gaining weight during the first half of my thirties.

Nutrition goals: Calorie-wise, stay between 1200 and maintenance level each day. Track my meals consistently.

Fitness goals: Work out 6 days per week, at least 20 minutes per day. I often fall into an "all or nothing" trap, with infrequent longer workouts. My goal for the next three months is to focus on consistency, even if each workout isn't very long or very intense.

Stats: As of this morning, I weighed 171.3 pounds, at 5'6.5". By the end of this challenge, I would like to weigh 157 pounds, which would put me in the healthy BMI range.

Good luck, everyone! We can do this

Hello my name is Jamie. I'm 39 and would like to loose 10-15 lbs. Most importantly I want to tone my thighs and gut. In the process I would love to find a BUTT!! I need motivation to exercise. Would love to find people to share food and exercise diaries with to help me stay accountable.

Today 1 Jan. I did 30 minute treadmill run then chest press with 25lb weights on each side( sweet) some biceps, military presses and Arnold presses and attempted squats. Lots of calories burned and I completed my day under calories and on track with protein goals.

I walked outside and got my 10k steps in (first time in 3 days so this group is helping already!).I only ate 2 meals but we had ham for New Years so I did get all my water in (another win!) I did however go over my calories since I treated myself to ice cream to celebrate a Packer win! I may readjust my calorie deficit so it is easier for me to stay on target. Good luck all....we can do this it's a NEW YEAR!

Please add me in.
Goal to loose 20 pounds.
45 min of exercise.
Track calories.
Clean eating.

Hi all,

Amazing to do this transformation together! I lost some weight last year but it has stagnated.. I want to lose more weight (ultimate goal 60 kilo's). I want to do this the healthy way and I want the result to endure, so I am not restricting myself too much.

1. Nutrition: staying around 1600 kcal each day, 40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fat. I am trying not to eat any processed foods anymore and no added sugar.
2. Exercises: I started running again with a half marathon distance as goal on April 1st. I will train for this 4-5 times a week. Besides that I will doing weighttraining at least 4 times a week.
3. At the moment I weigh 70.2 kilo's. I will only weigh myself again once a week.

I wish everyone the best of luck!
