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!!!

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.

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!
