90 Day Transformation Challenge - Jan 1 thru March 31

Day 10 of eliminating all toxic foods (for me) and feeling pretty darn good. Had a bit of a setback with a nasty bug but I believe I have squashed it, and I'll be back at the gym and running the trails tomorrow!
Week One: I lost 2.2 pounds which I am celebrating as it seems that I am a constant up and down, yo-yo scale person. The Elimination Program I am doing asked us not to weigh in everyday but just once a week. That has been agonizing for me but glad to see a marked difference on the scale and the best part, the crazy bloating I have been experiencing for the past 3-4 months is subsiding. That's a huge praise! So back to the gym to make it count and on the trails so I can build up some miles and run this Half Marathon in March.
Sounds like everyone is doing what needs to be done! Congrats to all and their weight loss but most of all, to committing to make a change and challenge yourself. Nothing like a goal to keep us motivated. Cheers!

Today I have burned 1,300 cals and consumed 715. I killed it during my exercise sessions, but plan on improving my endurance and strength even more over the next two weeks! Good luck everyone! Have fun and beat your goals!

I wont weigh in until Friday...stay tuned!

715 calories is way too low! Be careful!

That was only half way through the day. Plenty of "good" calories were consumed!

Looking to focus hard the first part of 2017? Me too!
I’d love to have a few people (or more) join me in seeing as much change as possible in 90 days.

Challenge Rules:
Introduce yourself to the group
On January 1, 2017 (or as near as possible), please post the following:

1. Nutrition goals for this 90 days BE SPECIFIC!
2. Fitness goals for 90 days – AGAIN SPECIFIC!
3. Beginner stats – measurements, weight and/or pics – WHAT GETS MEASURED GETS IMPROVED

Looking forward to starting! Join me!

Hi there! I'm Caroline and I am fashionably late to the party. I hope I can jump on board with you guys! I started watching what I eat and working out and using MFP to track all of that a week ago, so I'm not TOO far behind.

Nutrition Goals: Eat fewer empty carbs and snacks. More protein!! Slowly decrease intake while upping output through exercise. Would like to hover around 1200 calories a day.
Fitness Goals: Go the gym 4-5 times a week for at least 2 hours each time. Minimum one hour of cardio! Lose weight, gain strength, and improve posture.
Beginner Stats: I started tracking on this app at 208lbs on 1/7. I lost 3lbs by the time I weighed myself again on 1/9! I'll be weighing myself again on Monday (1/16) so hopefully I'll have lost some more by then! I have my measurements written down, but I'll post a picture.

This past week has been unproductive, my coworker had a baby, so I've been practically on my own, I have a sub for my coworker, but she is 80 and doesn't move fast, so I've been doing all the running at work, then my life has been crappy for a couple months, things are finally getting better, but I had to get out of my funk, starting fresh today, got 1 workout in, and doing another after my 2 year old goes down for a nap. Determined to make this week a good one

Good morning, everyone! I'm wondering if you'd mind if I joined in a bit late? I have been pretty consistent with my habits related to food and exercise for the past 3 or 4 years, but some life events and work stress got me off track for a while last year and I find myself with 10 extra pounds this year. I'd like to restore those habits that were working for me and get back on track.

Specifically, I'd like to:
1. Log the good, bad and ugly through March 1. (Its important for detective work to see where those pounds are coming from) - I'm a big data nerd, so this will lead to some polishing of my daily habits which I know will lead back to my healthy weight.
2. Follow my running plan to get back up to 25 miles/week (I'm averaging 14 lately)
3. Current weight: 144, Current miles/week: 14, Current number of complete food log days: 1

That's it. Doesn't sound too ambitious, but I have a habit of starting hard and flaming out.

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.

So I'm 3 lbs down and 3 work out done (all be it very short ones - 20 mins). Best of all I have resisted all junk.... so far and no alcohol. I have also logged everyday. So far this week (3 days in) I am up to 83 intensity minutes out of my 150 minute goal. Therefore I am on track

Week 1: I managed my 150 intensity minutes, no alcohol, no junk. I'm 5lbs down so really pleased. Most pleased that I have done my exercise, have not been craving sugar and I'm feeling OK.
Week 2: I'm up to 67 intensity minutes from yesterdays spin. I am hoping to get 1-2lbs off (the 5lbs was straight from a holiday so easier to get a big number).

I'm keeping my eyes on my goal of feeling great for all the fab events I have on this year.

Yipee! Down another 1.7 this week. I can also see a difference. I am loving Orange Theory Fitness!

I'm down 4.5#. Eating much better, not so great on the working out.

Doing great so far this week, 90min workout Monday, and 60 minute workout tonight.

I spent an hour today making goal charts, I figured there is 19 weeks till summer break (I'm a school nurse) so 19 weeks to have a decent summer body, so I set goals and made charts to help achieve my goal. They consist of weightloss goal, workout goal, water intake, calories, and macros, I'm really excited for this

I am in and my goals for next 90 days are:
Eat no more than 1200 calories
Eat no sugar and minimally processed food
Run 6 to 7x week (atleast 30 miles)
Try and get atleast 6 hours of sleep
Report daily on my progress against the goals

Good luck everyone!

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.

Checking in:
I have logged for 8 days. Daily thirty minutes of yoga/ body weight exercises and meditation, I now look forward to getting up to do this! I have gone to 4 workout classes and walked 4 times this week. I have been drinking at least 96oz of water per day. I have lost 3.6 lbs and I'm back to my average weight. If anyone wants tips for mediation let me know, staying present can help us with so much everyday stress and anxiety. Keep up the good work!

Checking in, have been logging 19 days. Daily excercises, meditation and yoga. I had three indulgent evenings in that time period but kept doing my routine afterwards, something I've struggled with continuing in the past! Changes in weight: 158.6lb tummy: 35 hips: 42 arm: 11.5, all other measurements: no change. I have not walked as much as I planned (4x/wk) I need to continue to try for this goal. Have done at least 3 gym classes per week. I'm feeling very good about these routine changes and much stronger than when I started.

I am down 2.6 lbs, FINALLY, i was stuck between 165 and 167 for over a month, i did have the help of smooth move tea, because i have IBS with constipation (sorry TMI, but i didnt want to give myself full credit for that loss ) but when i weighed in ate 165, it was right after a stomach bug that emptied be, i i truly have lose that weigh myself, yay. ive been working hard this week and i made charts to help keep track and motivate me, and they are helping alot so far
