Will this be the thread we use throughout the challenge or will a group be set up?

Interested - Love a group challenge

My goals: 1. Don't get super frustrated at lack of scale movement (after over a week at this weight I would typically say this is all for naught and I might as well eat a pizza. Am trying to channel frustration into motivation to keep at it and work harder!) 2. 10K steps 3. water, water, water 4. Log everything and stay…

Thank goodness for Monday! As I've mentioned here before, weekends are hard for me to stay on track, and I love the predictability and routine of weekdays (in terms of my healthy eating and exercise). Although I love the somewhat more relaxing pace of the weekends I don't love that the lack of routine makes me struggle…

awhitley - this time of year i'm a huge fan of soup. you can eat a lot of soup for 400 calories! making it yourself (vs. buying canned) saves sodium, etc. i try to make a pot of soup over the weekend and then portion it out for lunches. a couple recent favorites: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/sausage-spinach-soup…

I didn't hit my goals yesterday - I ate a totally unhealthy dinner because I hadn't planned. But I did my 10K steps (finished the day at 13K+) and my workout in the morning yesterday so trying to stay focused on what I did well. Today's goals: 1. 10K steps (6K done by 9am) 2. XTFMax workout (DONE!) 3. Stay within calories…

Hi All - Happy Wednesday. I hit my goals yesterday and am on my way to hitting today's as well (10K steps by 1pm!). I'm a little frustrated because I feel like the scale isn't moving. Trying not to lose motivation - I know I'm getting healthy in other ways. Goals: 1. 10K steps (DONE) 2. 100 oz water 3. Stay within calories…

That's AMAZING - Well done!!! Like you I have a hard time at events where I'm not cooking or planning the meal myself. Keep up the amazing work - it's a huge victory!

Morning, All! Hope everyone in the path of Blizzard 2015 (as the Today show kept calling it) are safe and warm. I always have a hard time staying healthy and motivated when we have snow days (which thankfully in DC are less frequent). I hit my goals for yesterday - although late in the evening I had a couple bites of…

Hello Monday! As anticipated, the weekend was hard for me on the food front. I just do better when I'm at work and I've carefully planned my meals and snacks for the day. But I tracked everything and got my steps in. Today: 100 oz water 12K steps (8K already!) Under calories and everything tracked XTFMax Video (DONE!)…

Will there be a re-sort to alphabitize the list with new additions or will those (like me!) who started late be towards the end? (Just so I know where to look for myself on there!)
-
TGIF indeed! I'm late joining the group but thrilled to be on board. Today's goals: 1. Begin my new workout series 2. Stay within calories (and honestly track everything!) 3. 10K steps 4. Donate blood (time for my 8 week appointment) 5. 100 oz water Weekends tend to be the hardest for me to stay within my eating plan but…

Yesterday balancedwalker asked us about the weather and how it impacted our goals. For me, when we have weather fronts move through the area (which is pretty frequent in the Mid-Atlantic region in spring and fall) I am prone to nasty headaches. And that is exactly what happened yesterday and it's lingering today. I…

Hit my goals yesterday! It's anticipated to be a rainy day in the DC area, which means finding indoor activity to burn calories and get my steps in. Goals remain: 80 oz water/green tea Under calorie limit 10K steps
-
Fantastic work getting to 600+ lbs, everyone! Keep it up to reach our next goal!
-
Hi, All! Monday's goals were nailed! Feeling good about that. Goals today remain: Track EVERYTHING Don't exceed calorie limit 10K steps 80 oz water Have a great day!

I'm back! After a 10-day visit by a German family as part of an exchange our family is participating in, our house is back to being just us and we're getting back to our routine. It was a great visit but made it impossible for me to track and meal plan and to be focused on the 100 day challenge. (It was hard enough to…

Happy Monday!! We had a busy weekend with our German guests - lots of DC sightseeing and trying all sorts of "American" foods. Didn't track all weekend but am back tracking today and trying to get more water in than I did this weekend. Keep up the great work, all! To those of you who had a tough weekend - I admire your…

Hi all! I'm drowning right now. I have been in a conference all week - I have tried to keep my food log updated via mobile but I'm not able to access the forums and these check-ins that way. (Someone at MFP needs to fix that!) I'm finally back in front of a computer today and added my info to our log for the 10% check in.…

One week in to our 100 day challenge - Happy Day 7! I'm so thankful Monday is here and I'm back in my routine. As is typical, this weekend was hard because I don't eat as well during the weekend (too free-for-all with our schedules and my eating) and the scale reflected that this morning. I also do everything on my mobile…
-
Happy Day 4! Despite a headache that's lasted 3 days (and counting), I met my step goal yesterday and my calorie goal. Really appreciate the accountability this group provides. Today's challenge will be the evening - We're attending a Nationals baseball game with a huge group from our neighborhood. I'll want beer and hot…

It's so smart to get 5K steps in before you leave work - that's always one of my struggles...if I get home from work and am facing 7K more steps to hit 10, it's hard. (Dinner, homework, kids to bed, etc etc...) I'm totally adopting your 5K@work goal - Thanks for the idea!
-
Day Two was a good day! Despite the craziness of our schedules I logged everything, stayed under my calories, drank all my water, and got in my 10,000 steps (despite the Mid-Atlantic rain we're still getting!). My goals today are the same - logging, water, 10K steps and smart food choices. I've found that I absolutely have…
-
I love that every day bring a new opportunity to meet our goals and refocus. My calories were on track yesterday. I didn't get home from work/appointments/volunteer meetings until after 9pm though so I did not meet the exercise/step goal I wanted. But today I will! Keep up the hard work, all!

Hi all! I'm Liz from Northern Virginia (about 5 miles outside Washington DC). My goal for these 100 days is to lose just over 20 lbs (it'll depend on what my starting weight is - but probably 22-23). I plan to track everything I eat (even on those hopefully rare days when I exceed my calorie limit), get 10,000 steps in…
-
Very excited to join the challenge - I absolutely need the accountability of a group challenge like this one! I've just recently recommitted to a weight loss journey (like so many, I've stopped and started more times than I can count!) and this 100 day challenge will be a great way to start! I'd like to lose around 20 lbs…

Hi all! I've just joined the group and look forward to being challenged (and held accountable!) over the last 100 days of 2014. Like so many, I know exactly what I need to do to shed this weight, I just need to DO IT. I'm a pretty competitive person so a challenge is exactly what I need to keep me focused. I've added my…
