90 Day Transformation Challenge - Jan 1 thru March 31

Hello
I would love to join the challenge. I need to get back on track and finally move the numbers down.


Nutrition goals for this 90 days - record everything I eat on MFP, no fast food, no pop/soda or alcohol.
Fitness goals for 90 days – walking at least 8000 steps a day and more as challenge goes
Beginner stats – I'm 48 years old, mom of 2. I'm 5'2" and weight 200 pounds. For this challenge I would like to lose 20 pounds and get down to 180.

Feel free to add me as friend. I can use all the encouragement I can get.

Hi all!
I think this might be the thing to get me motivated again.

About me: I started working out about a year ago when I realized my belly and chest were bobbing up and down when running stairs. I started doing Bodyweight training once a day, but have been slacking the past 2 month. So personal crisis' are hitting me hard and I need to get back on track.

I currently weigh about 135pds/67.4kg.

Lost 8 pounds over the last 3 weeks and need to gain them back. I struggle eating at maintenance. So my goals:

Eat my maintenance 2100kcal +200 until I have my 143pds back. Workout 5-7day/week again and and increase my sets from 3 sets 7 reps to 4 / 10.

Let s do this

I'm in... I'm Angela, I'm trying to get back to where I was 3 years ago, I was fit, strong, and at my goal weight, I got married, fell off track, got pregnant and had my 4th child, and gained it all back, now I'm working to lose it again.

Nutrition goals-hit my protein goals (at least 80g a day) eat at a 500 calorie deficit a day and limit my snacking (my biggest downfall)

Fitness goals-workout at least 5 days a week (3 weightlifting days, 2 cardio days) get 10,000+ steps a day. Lose 15 lbs by March 31, and an undecided amount of inches, and get my thigh gap back (I have large hips, and have always had a thigh gap until now)

Beginner stats-
Current weight-167.6
Bust-34in
Chest-31in
Waist-32in
Hips-44.5

I forgot to add, I'm 29, and 5'7" I hit my goal summer of 2013, I was 136lbs, I was happy and comfortable there, and I'm hoping to get back to that in the long run, I'm ok with weighing more if I keep my muscle that I have.

Its always better to do this in a supportive community. I am in!
My goals for this upcoming 90 days is to start with an Elimination Diet. I have been struggling with belly issues for the past few months and need to resolve this pain in my gut.
I plan to eliminate Gluten, Soy, Peanuts, Sugar, Alcohol, Coffee, and Dairy (ugh).
I also plan to run a half marathon in March so exercise goals include:
Running at least 4-5 days a week
Yoga & weight training twice a week
I currently weigh 167, 40" around the belly (eaks) and 26 BMI so definitely lots of room for improvement.
My goal is to lose 20 pounds and get my BMI in the healthy range.
Bravo to all that are on board and look forward to hearing the success stories.

Happy New Year!!

Introduction: My name is Amy and I am 48 years old, mom of 2 kids, live in a small town in New Mexico. I've been at this since Feb last year and have lost about 65 lbs, want to lose 20 more. I have been on a 2 week vacation oversees (Australia) visiting my in-laws for Christmas and have no doubt I gained, didn't manage to exercise much there for a variety of reasons and my sugar intake was high because Christmas.
Nutrition goals: Main one is to control the sugar. I am going to limit added sugar to 20g/day. I would like to have my weekly average gross calories ~<1500.
Fitness goals: Exercise 6 days a week, walk 2 miles on my "off day". 2 days-running, 2 days-swimming, 2-days weight training. This will be my biggest challenge.
Measurements: I will report weight and measurements tomorrow. I haven't weighed myself today, was starting tomorrow. I am 5'8", wear M/L top, pant size 12.

Ok, measurements (goals in parenthesis):
Weight: 185.5
Chest: 42.5
Waist: 37.5
Hips: 45
Thigh: 22.5
Calf: 15.5

Goal weight for challenge: 168.5
I won't put goals for my measurements because I find those go down somewhat randomly.

Hi all, I would like to join in too.

Introduction: My name is Cindy, age 52. I joined MFP 5 years ago now and roller-coasted since. At the time I was 50 lbs more than now and had just quit smoking after 30 years plus a sedentary lifestyle & was basically forced by the ensuing medical issues. I have not been active on the boards in a couple of years and am hoping that some new active friends and public postings will motivate me once again. Anyone, feel free to add me.

Nutrition goals for this 90 days: This is generally my failure. I LOVE to eat. So goals are: Severely limit refined carbs, green smoothies once a day for a meal replacement, and a vegetarian day once every 3. No more than 500+/or- net 1500 calories per day. I find that If I stick to this, I have success.

Fitness goals for 90 days – My issues here tend to be over-doing not under. My plan is to try and stick to my spring HM/late summer HIM training plan and No MORE. More = injury, I must remember that.

Beginner stats – Current 5' 6" tall and muscular 175.5 lbs this am. What is truly unacceptable is my stomach at 36" which is where I'm holding all my fat.

Goal: I would really like to be 160-165 lbs if most of it come off my tummy. That 10-15 lbs should be doable by March IF I focus.
So hoping we can reach goals together

Ok, measurements
Weight: 234.5
Chest: 47
Waist: 48
Hips: 42
Thigh: 24.5
Calf: 18.5

Hi all, I am a 35yo mom of with two kids. I saw this challenge and think it will help me stay on track with my goal to be more fit and eat better in 2017. The last year and a half has been fairly difficult, I got an injury that limited my ability to exercise for several weeks and took months to recover from. I also had some other health issues and lost my father in the Spring and grandmother just a few weeks ago. Between the lack of exercise and overeating from grief my weight has been climbing. I was able to lose some of the weight this fall but gained about 5 pounds in December (hopefully its mostly water)

My Goals for this challenge:
Eating: No eating after 8pm, watch my portions, especially snacks (they tend to turn into large meals calorie wise) eat more fruits and veggies Try to log my food intake at least 3 days a week. Drink atleast 64oz of water a day.
Fitness: work out for 2.5 hours a week, get a wake-up workout done 5 days a week (8-15min)

I would like the above to result in a 0.5 lb loss per week.

Beginner stats-
Current weight-157.4
Bust: 34in
Waist: 28-3/4in
Hips: 41-1/2in

Hello! I would love to join! I hope it's not too late! I am back up to 154 after losing 51 pounds and being down to 135. I am crushed but after this past year and knowing I let stress get the best of me, I am ready to be back and get back down to 130s.

I am going to be keeping my calories between 1200-1500 per day. I am going to be running 3+ times a week getting in at least 10 miles a week running. I will try to lift 1-2 times a week if I can, but running is my stress reliever and if I had to pick I would choose to run.

I am doing this! I did it in 2014, I am going to do it again now. I don't know why my eating habits went back to being crappy, but I know I'm not ever wanting to go back to the 180s where I was before I lost 51 pounds. I need these 20 back off!

I look forward to doing this challenge with all of you!!!

Exercise: Workout/DVDs 3-4 times per week with an increase to 5 times per week by the end of this challenge.

Goals: Lose about 10lbs but also concentrating on how clothes fit.

Forgot to introduce myself.....49yo nurse, mom of two adult children. I want to be healthy and look good in jeans!

Please count me in.

My 90 day goals are as follows:

1) lose 1.5 pounds per week
2) work out 3x+ per week
3) 10,000 steps per day, 5 days or more per week

If I hit my goals, I will have lost 18 pounds. More detail and measurements coming later.

Thanks!

Hey everyone!

I'm Emily, 24 years old, in my final year as a student! I'm 5'5'' and currently 144lbs. At my heaviest I was 158lbs, I managed to drop to 130lbs about 18 months ago, I looked and felt better and healthier than I have in my whole life so I've decided to make this my goal. Ideally I'm aiming to achieve this by March 17th (my 25th birthday!) but my absolute essential goal date is July 9th, as this is my graduation ball and I want to feel amazing! I've not got a tape measure atm but I'll update later with measurements

My nutrition goals are to eat 1200-1400 calories per day, I'm sticking with the MFP macro ratio and goals, but carbs must be healthy whole grains, nothing overly processed or sugary! I'm cutting out alcohol, (apart from this Friday, I have a big night out planned with some friends!)

I've ordered a new recipe book called Salad Love, I have a couple of go-to salads that get boring pretty quick, this book has a different salad for every weekday of the year and I'm hoping it'll spice up my lunch time leaves and make me more excited about leafy lunches.

My exercise goals are to achieve 3 1/2 hours of cardio per week, plus 1 strength training routine with hand weights and my yoga mat each day.

I'm heading back to university tomorrow so I'm going to start my health drive from then, excited to get going with you all!
