Definitely in!

My goal at the beginning of the year was to lose 20 total pounds by my birthday on 3.20. With the V-day challenge I lost 14, leaving only 6 until that time. But I think I will push myself for a total of 8 pounds.

SW: 192
Goal Weight: 184

Okay, getting things started on the right foot, making myself accountable. I have been aiming for 1250 calories a day so I'm going to stay there for now but will lower if I'm not losing. Decided on all my food for the day and have inputted it into my tracker to help things along. I typically kind of know what I'm going to have on a daily basis but I'm going to try to input a whole day prior to the start and see if it helps me stick. So:

- Breakfast: 1 servings of Rice Krispies (130), 1/2 banana (52-1/2), 1/2 cup Blue Diamond Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (22-1/2) and 1 packet of fat free hot cocoa mix in my coffee (25). 230 calories total.

- Lunch: 1 serving homemade red beans and rice (313), 1/2 serving baby carrots (17-1/2) and 1 container of light vanilla yogurt (80). 410-1/2 calories total.

- Dinner: 1 serving homemade lobster pasta (477) and 1 slice Sara Lee 45 calorie wheat bread sprayed with Pam, sprinkled with garlic powder and toasted (45). 522 calories total.

- Evening snack: 1 medium navel orange (64). 64 calories total.

1227 calories total for the day

I need to do some marketing for my business so in addition to my normal daily running around and gym time, I will be spending most of the afternoon walking around town. At the gym I'll do 10 minutes of random hill on the bike with 2 minutes of cool down, 8 minutes of constant speed on the the bike with 2 minutes of cool down, 14 minutes on the elliptical with 3 minutes of cool down and 5 minutes on the stair machine. Trying to add some variety to the gym workout to kick start this weight loss! :D

Looking forward to enjoying this lovely day (supposed to be 65 in Denver today :cb:) and kicking things off with a bang!

Hi everyone! I am glad I caught this early. I haven't done a challenge in awhile. I'm setting some lofty goals so I'll need to work hard!

1. Lose 10 pounds. Current weight 170.0. Goal 160.0
2. Keep working out 5 days a week.
3. Run 15 miles a week minimum
4. Stay on the healthy eating plan I have been following.

I'm excited. 10 pounds for me is going to be tough! The other three goals are things I have been doing successfully for over two week. So this is good motivation to keep it up. Well the 15 miles is a bit more than I've been running. But hey I'm getting stronger everyday!

My St Patty's Day Goal(s):

1) Stay between 1300-1500/day
2) Break into the 150's - CW (before V-Day weekend) 160; My goal will be 158, which doesn't sound like much, but the scale moves slowly for me --
3) No "cheat" days (over 1500 cal) until March 1st, scheduled cheat meal of Ethiopian Food and Beer that night!

Amy, Ethiopian, yum!! I live on Long Island and can't find it anywhere here, but always try to get it when I'm in Manhattan.

I'm in!

My goals ~
log my calories everyday
get back up to a 5k run (currently 1.5 miles)
get below 159 (currently 164)
planks! planks every single day and get to 3 repeats of the Holy Cow plank challenge

should be a fun one!

I have to get in on this one cause It will be my Birthday (St Patty's Day baby) and would like to be 10 lbs lighter. I think that would be a great present for myself:D Will post my weight Thursday.

Thanks for making this challenge! :)

My goals are:

To make the 2teens (I need to lose 11.6 lbs).
Add 15 more mins of cardio at the gym (at the moment I do 30 mins treadmill, 30 mins elliptical).
Complete 1/2 of Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred (15 days). At the moment I go to the gym 5 days a week, and looking to start Power 90. Shred will be extra! :)

Lori- thanks for the new challenge. I love your picture, your toning exercises are really working!

My goals are the same as always.

Exercise at least 30 min a day
Maintain at 108lbs, with 110lbs being my personal red line.
Eat clean at least 5 days a week
Cut down on overeating & still allowing myself some sweets.
Stop thinking of food all the time.
Try to enjoy life!

Rode the bike for 30min. Staying on plan for the last 2 days, so i should have this weight off in a week or so. When spring comes I'll be able to exercise outside and do yard work to keep my mind off food. Good luck to all!

I'm in!

I'm going to give myself a day to decide on a goal. :)

Food wasn't perfect today. But I have logged 3 miles today and ran 8 yesterday.
Tomorrow I'll start off on the right breakfast and make it a good day. Tomorrow is a cross training day so I won't be logging miles. Hopefully today's too much at lunch won't show up on the scale in the am.
