Hi I would love to join. I am getting married on 26th May and my dress shows my arms and back.
Nutrion Goals - Complete Dry January, drink more water and try and aim to achieve the Lean in 15 Joe Wicks method of carbohydrates on training days only.
Fitness Goals - I joined an expensive gym in December and have been using it 4 times a week and want to continue this. The aim is to swim once or twice a week, attend yoga on a Friday night when my son is with his dad and do a spinning class and HIT session on a Sat and Sun.
Stats: Height 5ft 4 and weight is 12 stone.
I would love to be 10stone by the end of May but would be happy with 10stone 5 and continue to work to 10 stone before our honeymoon in August.
Looking forward to getting to know you all.3 -
still working through a shoulder pain but walking with my hand in a coat pocket keeps it from swinging so keeps pain to a minimum - pt and 2 walks before lunch doing good today

I also want to join! I will do all of my measurements tonight.
I just joined Orange Theory Fitness- I want to go minimum 3 times a week
Stick to my 1200 calories and DRINK MORE WATER!!2 -
Well, I'm a little late to join but better late than never as the saying goes. two years ago I started a fitness program of exercise and improved diet. ( I had a 50 year high school reunion to attend that June) yes, I am 70 years old now. after about a year I became more popped with other projects that my husband and I had started and became inconsistent ant first and then down right lazy with the exercise and nutrition. anyway I have gained back about 25 of the 35 pounds I lost. I do not have the energy I had, I am more depressed, I have joint pain and KNOW I need to get back in the habit of exercise and better nutrition.
Nutrition goals: 8 glasses of water a day. protein 40% fat30% and carb 30% of an 1100 Calorie diet
Fitness goal: walk 2 1/2 to 3-1/2 miles 4-5 times a week
flexability and strength exercise 30-45 minutes 3-4 days a week
Stats: I have been afraid to look. will check soon.

Day 4 and I am "winning" LOL.... My new elliptical arrived just in time before the snowstorm rolls in, so I wont have to just go up and down my stairs to get a workout for the next few days. Today I used that baby for 66 minutes and burned over 500 calories. Almost to my protein goal and have taken my vitamins for the last 3 days. STAYING FOCUSED.
I did falter and eat some delicious strawberry pretzel jello salad but I made it fit my calories so its all good.
You gotta put in the work to get the change.5 -
Could use some extra motivation so why not!
Nutrition goals: Attempt to cut by staying around 2000 kcals/day. May adjust depending upon results.
Fitness goals: Drop down to at least 10% bf. I would also like to add at least 5kg on each lift, more on the big muscle groups.
Base stats: 85kg, 6,2", 14% bf and waist is currently a 34. Not sure on my other measurements.
I'm starting this late so I'll probably do it for a few days into April.
Good luck everyone!3 -
Hello,
My name is Suzanne. I am a few days late starting this challenge. I went to a nutritionist today and have some pretty specific goals. I am pre-diabetic. I have sleep apnea. I have foot problems. All these things can be avoided by fixing my diet and exercise and maybe losing weight. Though weight loss is a goal, it can't be my main purpose. In the past when I have had trouble losing weight, I've given up. Avoiding diabetes has to be my main purpose. Weight loss will be a nice secondary benefit. Getting off the CPAP machine would be real nice, reduced foot pain, even nicer.
Stats:
Age: 56
Height: 5'3"
Weight: 198
BMI: 35.7
% body fat: 45
Waist: 40.34"
Hips: 50"
(I'd like to take some other measurements and add them later.)
Goals set with help of nutritionist:
Use the nutritionist's meal plan as a guide (she was very reasonable and worked with my preferences)
Keep regular records of food intake and exercise in myfitnesspal
1200-1400 calories (at least 6 days per week)
Walk or use stationary bike 15-30 minutes 3-5 days per week as a start. Increase time as my ability improves.
My additional goal: decrease alcohol from 7 days per week to 3-4 days per week with a glass of wine being the usual and only have beer or mixed drink on the weekend if I go out.
I have used myfitnesspal on my ipad in the past but have not been able to do much with the community groups. I don't know how to use my page or how to find my page, add groups or friends, etc. I'll have to explore the site more, now.

Welcome to the group. I too am a new comer. I hope we can all encourage each other.2

Susan I mistakenly deleted your friend request. I don't know how to get it back or send one to you.0

I've put on so much weight over the past 2 years and have gotten way off track. I want to make reasonable but challenging goals for myself. I didn't put the weight on overnight and I don't expect it to come off overnight either. It's going to take dedication, hard work, preparation and will power.
Nutrition goals for this 90 days-Clean eating with meal prepping (lean turkey, chicken and white fish, good green veggies), no alcohol, no eating out, no sugar, lower dairy intake, 1 gallon of water per day-no exceptions
Fitness goals for 90 days – Beginning with cardio to get me back on track, then working up to adding weight training-Upper, lower, full body, upper then lower--2 days of weight training rest but staying active with cardio, bike riding, walking, etc.
Beginner stats – measurements, weight and/or pics – I will update stats tomorrow morning
Update on some stats-
Starting Weight-227
goal for this challenge-10% of my weight-22.7
Goal Weight-204.32 -
I little motivation for myself and my new friends here:
“If you don’t set a baseline standard for what you’ll accept in life, you’ll find it’s easy to slip into behaviors and attitudes or a quality of life that’s far below what you deserve.” – Tony Robbins

Hi I'm Kaitlyn, I'm 32 and love to cook natural wholesome foods (maybe too much). Last year I was generally less active and it is starting to make me feel super unhealthy! Plus I'm attempting to foster a lifestyle shift, rather than a dieting mentality.
Fitness: I'm on a mission to do daily 30 minute mornings (yoga/strength/meditation), walk 4x/wk (minimum) and do fitness classes 3x/wk (minimum).
Nutrition: My calorie goal depends on my activity level but with no activity it is about 1500 (fresh foods that don't contain hormones and do contain ingredients I can understand). Drink 96oz of water per day.
Stats: I weigh 163.2 lbs, I'm 5'7". Waist 31, tummy 36, chest 38, hips 43, thigh 24, arm 12. My weight goal is 145, but mainly to feel healthy and strong.
Have fun everyone! Let's stick to our goals to see results and feel healthy again! I'd be interested in people joining my 30 minute mornings routine too, perhaps I'll post a thread.

Perfect for me. Just started a couple days ago.
54 y/o female
Weight: 218 lbs (ugh!)

My plan is:

strength train 3 x week
MFP food diary to track 1280 calories/day
I've been at this a few days and am really struggling increase protein intake (35%) and decrease carbs (40%).

How's progress going for everyone?
So far I've stuck to my food plan with no cheating! I'm finding that pre logging my food means I'm much less likely to eat something else as I know that the food I've planned on mfp fits my calorie constraints and macro %
I'm struggling with motivation to go exercise, I quit the gym as it was just too expensive so now my options are running or home work outs and I'm just struggling to get going! Any tips? I have all the right equipment (yoga mat, hand weights and decent running trainers and gear) but I'm just getting nowhere0 -
My name is Taryn and I am from Toronto, Canada.
I have been logging everything!!! Sorry, I have still not posted my stats. It has been a very busy week back to work.
I have not had any pop since Jan 1st!, just club soda
Nutritional goal: Is to remain pop free and stay within my 1200 calories goal.
SW:232
GW:160
I will post measurement, BMI etc... over the weekend.
Good luck everyone!!!0 -

This week went ok for me, I'm working through healing a shoulder injury so the going is slow to avoid aggravating it. A high blood pressure reading (170/92) really freaked me out the other night - but pain can increase bp so I'm using it as a reminder to keep my butt moving.
I started the couch to 5K program this morning but with 1/2 the jog/walk reps -I'll see how the shoulder feels today and go from there ... call it week 0.5
I've been logging my exercise and food here and that's been helping a lot.
One thing I haven't been good with is meditation - I really need the stress reduction but sitting still and not thinking of all the things I need to do can be difficult - any suggestions?0 -
I'd like to join but have been on holiday. I am starting tomorrow.
Nutrition: 1200 (or more if exercise allows - measured by Garmin watch). Increase my protein and veg intake. Limit sugar/ carbs. No junk Jan. Also no alcohol when I'm just staying in.
Exercise: 3x a week. 150 intensity minutes a week (measured by my watch). This will mainly be spinning. I've been struggling with aching joints so avoiding running.
Stats: 11st, 5ft 4.
Goal: increase fitness and loose 2lb a week. 20lbs by end March.
I've got my 10th wedding anniversary and a wedding in March. Also a big birthday in November.1 -

Sounds like you're doing well, keep working through the shoulder but don't push yourself too hard you need time to recover!
Maybe meditation just isn't for you? I certainly can't do it! I find my mine wanders far too easily and I start over thinking things. Are you doing meditation just for stress relief? If so maybe see if you can find something quiet and relaxed to do that you have to focus on to destress, eg, start reading a new book and spend half an hour a day just having a little read, or get one of those adult colouring books, (I love mine!) Or find a new health blog to read or spend some time finding new healthy recipes to spice up your meals? Just take half an hour of your day that is your me time, and schedule in a quiet sit down relaxed activity.
Hope you don't mind me just jumping in with suggestions
but if you're anything like me you'll need to find something to do as a destressing technique, rather than trying to sit still and think of nothing, which I find incredibly difficult and boring!

Just started Meditation this week myself...same reason. It is totally new to me so I have been using an app on my phone to do a 20 minute relaxation. I've got work to do but it helps! Other than that just getting my workouts in helps me maintain my sanity! I started almost a year ago of trying to think of exercise as something I get to do instead of something I have to do...over time, it worked!0 -

OMG, I hated the idea of those coloring books because it seems so juvenile but someone gave one to me with pencils as a gift and I tried it one night...it WAS very relaxing! I have started to do this in the evening sometimes when I have nothing to do to keep my hands occupied. Glad I am not alone! Also, got a "real" camera for Christmas and have been spending time trying to figure out how to use that...fun!0 -
