Weight-Loss 90 days for a change!

So yesterday I asked myself the following; 'What would have been of me if, since the first day, I had kept eating at my calorie goal every single day?'

And I think the answer was that either; I would have made better progress by now, or that at least I would have saved a lot of headache along the way.

So this challenge is all about consistency and accountability! It's the most important thing you need to have when you're trying to lose weight, as it is a lot more valuable in the long run than fast progress.

It's pretty straightforward; Choose something you can do every day, it can be exercise or diet related, and for the following 90 days you need to do that every single day as long as your 90 days are up.

Your goal can go UP [or down in the specific case of calories] at any time you want, but once you have said you are going for it, you must do it! You can never go back down again. So think well before you choose!

It does not matter what your goal is or how hard / easy it is. We are not here to judge effort. It's only about consistency and accountability. All you need to do is to sustain consistent progress. SUSTAIN CONSISTENT PROGRESS. Once you choose something, you do that 90 days on a row.​

You may post as often as you want on this thread, but try to post at least once a week to be held accountable.

Again: pick something you will do for the following 90 days on a row. You can adjust that goal UP at any time you want, but you can never go back down again once you do so. So don't pick something that you aren't sure will be able to accomplish and don't rush things.

Things you can try;

* You will stick to X [or below] calories for the following 90 days.
* You will drink X amount of water for the following 90 days.
* You will eat X amount of fruit... (You already know how this goes)
* You will eat X amount of salad.
* You will exercise for X minutes every single day for the following 90 days.
* You will walk for X minutes or X steps.
* You will do X amount of [Insert bodyweight exercise here] every day for the following 90 days.
* You will only stick to only eating X amount of meals a day for the following 90 days.
* You will burn X amount of calories [you need to have something to track them] for the following 90 days.

These are just ideas. Feel free to add anything you want!

There is no start / end date for this, it all depends on where you started your personal goal, so feel free to join any time you want.

I suggest you start a tad lower of what you 'think you can handle' and slowly progress up. You can only fail this if you fail to be consistent, so there's no point in burning yourself out. Especially not at the beginning!

Athala's goals;

I will stick to 2200 Kcal (or below) for the following 90 days in a row (8 / 90).

I will drink 1 liter of water for the following 90 days in a row (8 / 90).

I will do 10 min of cardio for the following 90 days in a row (7 / 90).

I will I will walk for 30 min the following 90 days in a row (8 / 90) .

I will avoid gluten grains (and derivates) from 90 days (8 / 90).

The goals you choose are your minimum for each day. You can go above but you must do the minimum every day. If you want to adjust the goal up you need to say so. ['My new goal is X for the following (time left) days'], and then it becomes your new minimum.

If you fail you need to start again from 0!

I have 2 weeks away coming up so won't be able to join this until september because during those weeks I will have no way of doing sufficient exercise (if the site is muddy then even walking will be down to a minimum of getting from A to B) and food will be very hit and miss and out of my hands to control. I might keep popping in but otherwise see you in September!
 
I will stick to 2300 Kcal (or below) for the following 90 days in a row (4 / 90).

I will drink 2 liters of water for the following 90 days in a row (4 / 90).

I will exercise for the following 90 days in a row (4 / 90).

NEW Start date July 16th.

Sure! See you on September joeybear :).

Glad to have you Q! :)

Definitely the calorie goal is gonna be the hardest for me as well. I had to leave a little margin just to make sure if I overeat I can still appeal to moderation. Otherwise I would possibly go ahead and possibly binge. Of course my job now is to prevent that from happening.
 
I'll make today day one.

BlueDragon's Goals:

I will eat 2000 calories or less (2/90)

I will drink 500ml or more water (2/90)

I will do 15 minutes or more of cardio including walking (2/90)

I got 3 of my goals done for today except for the cardio, which I will start tomorrow. I will also make a goal to avoid gluten grains (and stuff made from them) which should also instantly improve my food choices!

1 day down, 89 left to go! :biggrinjester:
 
Well done, Gentlemen. Well done! :cheers2:

Got everything done and also started working towards my cardio goal. I will have to slowly bump this one, since I have a track record of giving up on cardio.
:biggrinjester:

By the end of the 90 days I want to be at 20 or maybe 25 mins / day.
 
Maybe make it a range Athala so when you are having a tough day you can get the 10 in and try to stick to the top of the range as much as possible. Say 10 - 30 minutes of cardio. I would also say that walking is cardio. I am guessing that you mean high intensity cardio since you have it as a seperate goal.

2 for 2 on all three. Yeah us!
 
Alright!! Day 3! (or 2 depending on the goal).

I have been slowly getting kind of sick lately. I just hope it doesn't get worse and gets to a point on which it stops me from doing my cardio.

No serious symptoms so far.

It is kind of a range Q. Just that there is not an upper limit, but the 'goal' would be the lower end of that range. The idea (or my idea at least :biggrinjester:) is to slowly go bumping the lower end, but without ever losing ground once I decide to do so, so it's a slow progression.

Personally I just have two rules for it;
Bump it only once I'm both comfortable with what I'm currently doing, and I'm confident I can handle the increase.

Doing that really helped me when I first started losing weight and had to be consistent.

More progress has been made and I like the fact I'm being consistent for a change. So it's all good! :D
 
Yesterday has my calorie goal reset to zero, but today will be 1. I've marked the water and exercise already as it's a sure thing today. I'll update the calories at the end of the day or tomorrow.

Nice work Athala!
 
Don't sweat it Q. Calories is the hardest of the goals and one week will be nothing when we get to 90 days. :)

Struggling a bit in the mental arena. I'm really bad at consistency and sometimes I want to change stuff just for the sake of changing it! even if it's working.

But that can not happen and will not happen. 90 days is it! :boxing:
 
Woahhhh... I'm joining this!

I will drink 2L of water every day for 90 days in a row (1/90)

I will exercise a minimum of 15 mins every day for 90 days in a row (1/90)

I will have a minimum of 125g protein a day for 90 days in a row (1/90)


Oh this is going to be fun. I'll have to creative with the exercise and protein intake sometimes. Awesome.
 
Welcome knyt!

I really have to get my eating back on track. I didn't go over by much yesterday, but I'm still at zero. I have kept up with the exercise and water. Monday was just stretching and a little walking, but better than nothing. I pushed pretty hard yesterday and the knee feels okay. I think I can really get back to burning some calories and getting the heart rate up with the elliptical runner.

I had a moment of temptation today and almost blew both my calorie and gluten goals, but thankfully I didn't do anything stupid. So instead of sitting there and thinking about the 'possibilities', I had to grab my jump rope and got my 10 minutes of cardio with that.

Sometimes you need to react quickly and you gotta do what you gotta do in order to stay on track. :biggrinjester:
