Hey! I'm in the same boat. In the end, I want to lose 135lbs total, though. I'm 31 and was doing great 4 years ago and only need to drop 40lbs, but here I am again. Feel free to add me if you want. I follow/friend some pretty awesome people l, too.

Hey! I need to lose at keast 100lbs, too. Feel free to add me if you want. We are going to get this in 2017!

My birthday is in July, too!!! I would LOVE to be down some weight by then! But I am really listening to everyone. I will take this one day at a time, put in time and consistency while exercising some grace. I'm with you on this, too! We will do our best for ourselves and be proud because of our honest efforts. I will work…

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Feel free to add me, too! I've started this a million times, but I am more committed than ever this year. With grad school almost behind me and a more positive job, I feel like I can finally take care of me. I'm not exactly sure how much I need to lose, but 100lbs is the minimum. I may not post everyday, but I'll keep up…

Count me in! I will start in Jan 17!

Girl - I get you! I recently went to the Dr and the scale has me at about the same. I NEVER thought I would be this heavy. It's sad and scarry. But i mostly want to feel good about my body - no more aches, pains and struggle! I just want you to know that Im in the same boat and Im doing battle alongside with you ❤

Hello Everyone! I'm Kay and I've been a Vegan off and on for almost the last year. I started last summer just to challenge myself and help me lose some weight for a month. I had read the Vegan lifestyle was good for people with similar health histories as I have so I gave it a try. After that one month, I was pretty…

Day 20 -yesterday: Zumba class for one hour and MAN! that was a work OUT! Day 21 - today: last day with trainer for now. We worked together for 20min after I did a 10min warm-up on the treadmill and then used the Elliptical for 20min post working out with the trainer. Thanks to this challenge, I have lost 10lbs, and…

Day 18 - Easter Sunday def involved dodging small children look for eggs, walking and laughing hard with friends and family. Day 19 - Elliptical Trainer for 30min. Tomorrow is my Day 20!!!!! I have a Zumba class to attend. Can't wait! And Day 21 is my final day with my trainer. No doubt she's gonna kick my butt ;)

Day 16 - worked out with the trainer for 30min and she wore me out! Also walked on a treadmill to warm-up and cool down for a total of 30min. Day 17 - today, went to the gym and worked out my sore legs on the Elliptical and did a little weight training. I can't believe I'm almost done!!!

Day 15 - 1 hour Step Class and it totally kicked all of our butts! I'm about to do some yoga in my home to stretch and relax me for tomorrows D-Day with the trainer. She's gonna be measuring me again to see my progress. Hope she will be satisfied :smile:

Thank you for the info!

WATER ZUMBA?!?!?!?! I need to find one of those classes! Sounds like way too much fun :)

Nicely done!!! I know I want to keep this going once I am done, too. I am see good results. I lost 2 more pounds this past week. This is the first time since I have seen myself lose weight since high school. Thank you for starting this challenge* Day 14 - 30min Elliptical, 15min weight training, 20min yoga and some AB work.

Day 13: Elliptical training for 30min and some weight training. Will be making time for some much needed stretching and yoga :)

Day 10 - walked up and down hills all over Seattle with my sister on a BEAUTIFUL spring day exploring stores we never knew existed. It was a lovely Saturday. Day 11- our little brother's 18th birthday. Have to admit, not much moving, but a lot of standing, playing fun games and enjoying peoples company. I went home…

Day 7 - taught k-5th grade music class which involved a lot of jumping, clapping, stomping and searching for a hidden tambourine. I considered that moving. ;) Day 8 - really felt the exhaust from working with the little ones while working with the big ones in a high school resource room and product fair. I wanted to go to…

Awesome pictures! You look great and you certainly have great taste in clothes. I was almost at 300lbs this time last year, but lost 25 and started to gain again. So I joined a gym, got a trainer and am on this site. Thank you for the inspiration! I look forward to seeing your progress :)

@tazmac I sure did sleep well, thank you! :D Day 6 - walked treadmill between 3 and 3.5mph for 30min. Then worked on the legs and arms with the weight machines. I also lost 2 more pounds!!!! That brings me to 8 down with plenty to go. However, I love the progress I am making :happy:

Cannot agree with you more! I love walking outside especially after having to work inside all day. Day 5 for me consisted of Elliptical for 20min., weight training for legs and arms ( 15 reps from 25-40lbs repeated 3 times each), and then another 28min on the Elliptical. I am anticipating some good sleep tonight :)

Day 4 - Three hours of work in a super hot kitchen to prep for a community dinner that I also helped serve. We were moving everywhere and quickly. I relaxed a little afterward, but then did 20min of yoga. Ready to hit the sack!

Awesome! Thank you for sharing. You look great! This will help me continue to pursue my goal of losing weight and being healthy :)

Thank you for the welcome! Good job on your workouts, too! I didn't go to the gym as planned today for my Day 3. But I did hull a Queen size mattress, box spring and frame with only the help of another person to my apartment on the 2nd story. I also did a lot of shopping/walking around stores trying to find bedding. I even…

Yes!!! This helps me stay in budget AND helps me buy food that I need to be healthier and not just stuff to munch on and gain weight. It helps to have a meal plan first then create your list. Try to know what you want to eat for each meal each day.

I will join this, too! This will be my day 2, though ;) I kicked my own butt at the gym on the elliptical. Today I have a personal training session and will probably do another 30min on the elliptical or treadmill. This is a cool challenge and a great way to make small goals for ourselves in this journey of becoming fit…

Thank you for your post! I really appreciated you bringing a male perspective that is often not heard. I like what you said (even though it hurt a little too) about how your wife was so worried about her body image that it became difficult to be intimate with her and how frustrating it was for you as a man since YOU…
