Why are you doing Ignite?
-
I'm interested to hear why people are committing to the change. For me - it's all for my kids. I want to be energetic and around for the long haul.

I am in need of a change, something that will continue to motivate me to stay focused on a change of lifestyle. I need to re channel my stress and frustrations of daily life back into my food and exercise plan.

I really need to work on my self-control. I'm hoping avoiding my trigger foods for 21 days will help purge my system, just as they suggest.
-
bohdelYay! I've actually started telling other people about it. I felt a little silly earlier in the week, but I've been so surprised by the change. I really have had such a problem with self-control, but I'm beginning to wonder if it might really have been an issue with one of the evil 6.
-
Jen632me too. I had to reignite because I couldn't resist when I started craving something sweet. round 2 for me. :(

I have been struggling with stomach aches for years, after eating just about anything and I am ready for a change! I want to feel healthy and just plain good again. I too need the energy boost and I am determined to have a toned core before I die haha.

Because I am in need of a jump start in my motivation again. Plus I have several food allergies and the only thing I need to change to do ignite is eliminate sugar.
-
mtrinideeHey symmie, I have the same thing, I already eliminated 4 of the 6 evils. Why not add dairy and sugar to the list for a little while. :)

I have had acid reflux for about 3 years and know that it has come from a bad diet and excess weight. Also, I LOVE to workout but have had a hard time with my nutrition. So I think / hope that ignite will be my answer.

karsenslaterSame.

FirayFitKitty1,
you may have your stomach out and need to be adjusted. Ask your chiropractor if they know how to adujust your stomach.

It's for so many reasons. I'm getting married later this year and while admittedly it would be great to look great in my dress, I'm far more concerned with spending a long, healthy life with my awesome husband-to-be. He's quite active and I'd love to finally be able to keep up with him. I also wonder if this will help with my mood disorder (along with being monitored by a professional, of course) and stress. Since I travel so much for work am a bit worried about longevity, but I don't have to travel this month so now is the best time to start! Have struggled with my weight since I was 8...17 years is enough! We can do it :-)
-
skaserHow about buying a bullet to take with you for travel. They are small. I am thinking about getting one for vacations. Im worried about gaining back too much on vacation. I use my blendtec at home.

I am allergic to soy. I have wondered if the gluten is getting me down for some time. My best friend went totally Paleo and she looks friggin' fabulous. Just had a baby and went back to the same weight in the hospital. One of THOSE :-) 17 months after my last baby and I am still struggling with about 10 pounds baby weight....and then the 20 pounds I shouldn't have had on before babies! So I am ready to not only loose weight but heal my body!

I lost my baby weight in the hospital for my first kid (though I really could have used to lose more) and then an extra 5 in the first month of breastfeeding. With the second I left the hospital weighing more than when I went in and have had a TERRIBLE time taking all that weight off, and I weighed less when I got pregnant with her than I had since leaving high school. Every situation/every person is different, though I'm sure you hear that as often as I do. :) Good luck!

I'm going to be 49 in mid June and I'd like to be in better shape then than I am now. I've been telling myself for years that when I retire I want to do... and it occurred to me the other day that I may have the time and even the money to do the things I want but if I continue like I am, I won't have the energy or the strength to do the things I want. More immediate motivation is I am going to be teaching an online course and I am dreading going in front of the camera!

I've always struggled with my weight.. and now after leaving for a year and half in jolly ol england (with lots of their jolly ol pints of beer), I weigh more than I ever have. EVER! This is my way of making a change to not just lose weight, but be healthy. Thanks for asking the question paulc - always good to write down the reasons and motivation.
-
by: aiesha2013
I chose to commit to the change because I have digestive issues, and also a muffin top :(, no good. I also want to be healthier for me and my family, so hopefully they never experience the things that I have that lead me to this point.

by: gbsngrl
I've always been active and in relatively good shape...but my eating habits are TERRIBLE. I'm talking like cheese fries, nachos, pizza...all the bad stuff several times a week. So I really want to complete my healthy exercise regimen with a healthy eating regimen!

by: jipsybird
I have been curious about Paleo for a while. I'm doing this for me. I want to be healthier, have more energy with kids. I've been kicking around the same 5 pounds for about six months, and time to kick it to the next level. I secretly desire to inspire my hubby to join me. He is pre-diabetic: lost a good amount of weight over the last couple of months due to being super busy. I'm concerned he will regain it back, but he claims he won't. I'm home with the kids while he works and goes to school, as far as I know he doesn't workout. When we go out to eat I sometimes ask to see if they have the nutritional info on a dish, he will scoff as though saying "here we go again", making my request feel almost ridiculous. So, I haven't talked to him about doing ignite yet.
My best to all in their efforts!

I had knee surgery a few months ago and can't play the sports I used to for another 6 months. I put on some pounds and need something to jump start me. Playing sports enabled me to eat a lot of foods that I shouldn't and not playing, those foods have "caught up" to me so to speak. I also think I may have an allergy to either gluten or dairy and this is a great way to see which it is and how I feel without those ingredients in my diet.

Over the last year or so I have learned a lot more about eating right. I used to have an extremely limited diet (I would only eat pasta [with cheese], and almost nothing green - being a vegetarian this was not good). I want to cleanse my system and get in the habit of avoiding my vice a little more... cheese is so goooood! but so bad. I'm hoping to learn good habits that will carry on once the "detox" is over.

I'm a mom of 4 awesome tots, I have Multiple Sclerosis and for years I gave up. I am ready to quit giving in to my weaknesses and be as strong as I was when I was in the Air Force. I'm re-evaluating my life, my career goals (This mama is going to be a cop) and I'm ready to be the strongest mom I can be for my kids!

I have been overweight for most of my life and have been on every diet you could think of. Then I came across Daily Burn and started doing the workouts, which are amazing and fun. Learning about ignite really got me excited to combine the workouts that I have been doing with the proper nutritional lifestyle that I have been craving. I am excited for Ignite!! Tomorrow is my first day and I can't wait to get started!!

I'm starting Ignite for several reasons. I used to be very active when I was in my 20s. I don't think I really learned how to eat properly. My metabolism would just burn off whatever I put into my body. Now that I'm in my mid-thirties it's not so easy. I've steadily gained few pounds here and a few pounds there.
I want to learn how to be more active and eat better.
I'm also running a 5K with some friends in September. I want to be able to keep up with them when we go out. Finally I'm going on a cruise at the end of September and I'm bound and determined to have some rocking abs for my super cute bikinis. -

I'm doing this to be healthy. I've lived on fast food for far too long and need to make changes in my life. I love vegetables but have trouble planning for meals. I stay busy with college and working night shifts.
-
by: RWinzer
I eat pretty healthy & cook most meals lots of veggies & lean proteins...and get between 2-3 workouts in a week but then have moments of weakness...but not too often. Have had 15 pounds just sneak on a few pounds at a time - turning 46. Used to just "watch" for a few weeks and 5 would come off...now the needle is stuck. I'm on day 21 - and I was feeling pretty good although wanted faster results. Scale was NOT my friend today and it's depressing but I only got one workout in last week. Trying to stick with it...

I want to put less stress on my body and eat the way I was intended to. I'd also like to avoid dying young and leaving my little guy without a mom.

by: FatumAstrum
My mom and sister are the healthiest two people in my family. They both inspire me to want to be healthier, and I've tried in the past. I usually just work out, and eat anything, or try to "eat healthy" and not workout. I'm hoping I can break my addiction to sweets and finally have a toned body to match the females of my family.

First day on ignite, so here we go. I want to lose 20 lbs and get back to a healthy eating life style. I am 52 and own a BBQ catering company, so I am always around food. I am looking at this program to help get me back to a reasonable eating habits.

Many life events have caused my turn to working out and making the change.
1) As a former athlete- soccer, track and swimming- and now living in a small town with no adult leagues, my activity level has significantly dropped. I have become very busy working full time, helping my husband run his business on the side, and coaching a youth soccer team, I haven't had the time to hit the gym.
2) I have gained enough weight that my clothing is now uncomfortably tight. Being from a family with parents that are over weight, and seeing the health risks associated, the tight clothes was my first sign that I was heading down a path I do not want to follow. I am currently at the heaviest weight in my life only a year into my marriage.
3) My husband has discussed starting a family in the next year or so. Having worked in the medical field, and especially around pregnancies- I know the risks being over weight can cause. I decided that now is the time to start a healthy routine to keep me and my baby healthy! -

I've always had a hard time eating right because I grew up with a lot of sugary foods. Even if I don't keep up with Ignite after my free trial/whatever, I know I need to find ways of gradually improving my diet while I'm young, and Ignite should help with that. I want to make better habits now because I'm pretty sure it'll be much harder later.

Starting ignite again..cheated the first time, I have a hard time staying motivated, don't really have anyone but me..kids are over 18 and out of the house..I need to lose my belly and keep my back strong..any suggestions on staying motivated would be very helpful..??
When doing workouts I was getting a lot of headaches..fixed that problem thanks to the wonderful people who replied with solutions..
So far DailyBurn has been the best choice in staying fit and healthy.. -

I am a natural health consultant and love to know how things affect me before I direct my clients into anything. I use a similar diet with my clients for balancing and it lasts just a bit longer but is much more difficult to do in the first 6 days. I like this diet and like how this web site works and I am looking at recomending this to my clients so I am doing it first.
Take Care of YOU!

I felt that my diet was low in nutrition. I started getting sick with cold after cold after cold. I wanted to jump start my nutrition and feel healthy! I was sick of being on calorie-restrictive diets and feeling hungry all the time. I also wanted the total package which is already preconfigured workouts + simple nutrient-dense recipes. I was so glad I came across dailyburn on a workout forum. It was exactly what I needed to make some much desired changes. The weight loss that comes with following this program is the "icing on the cake"!

I'm getting married this summer and now that it's Spring time I'm extra motivated to shape up my body. But, I'm a baker, sometimes for 15 hours a day, so I feel that I'm constantly working with temptation of substituting desert or breads for a couple meals each day. I'm hoping a strict diet will kick my eating habits into shape and that my body will follow despite temptation.

Needed motivation, have been sluggish and fatigued and am hoping that a change in diet and exercise will help me lose the 10 extra pounds I've put on in the last few months.

With a gluten and dairy sensitivity, I really needed to commit and hit the reset button for my body!

by: juju
I need something to guide me to a better way of eating. I love the foods on ignite, and rarely eat traditionally thought of as ,"bad" foods. but when a sugar or salt craving hit, I just go completely off track. By not allowing myself any of it I am hoping to retrain my brain to not crave these things. I really need to lose 60lbs and if i don't find a way to do it soon I fear I'll be stuck like this for ever.

I've been trying to lose weight and I've ballooned to 250. The "eat what you want and still lose weight" plans haven't worked, so I'm attempting this.
-
jaxschommerPlus, it's the first time I'm losing weight for me. It's not for my parents, it's not to impress boys, it's not for my wedding, it's for me.

chellywhitgood luck dear. i'm right there with ya on doing it for yourself for the first time. :) we got this!

I noticed I started gaining a little bit of weight after I got married, and them I gained a little bit more, and then it never seemed to stop. I've spent the past 5 years increasing pant sizes. I joined this site on whim, and feel extremely hopeful that it can help me reach my goal of taking at least some of this pudge off my body. So far, I went from not exercising in years to working out everyday!

by: comptonlj
I just got 'the talk' from my doctor that she's concerned about my weight and my blood pressure. I have an extremely busy life with 4 kids from 17 to 7, and a full time job, so this should be the change that I need. On top of all that, I'm getting ready to start a new decade in my life in June (I'm turning 40!!!). I'm hoping DB and Ignite will help me with my goal to change my destiny from 'Fat and 40' to 'Fit and 40'.

I am ready to look and feel good again! My biggest evil is having a glass (or two) of wine in the evenings! But if I can drop 45 pounds and feel great then I am willing to give it up! Health reasons are most important as I am 50+ but another benefit would be to look great at my daughters wedding next year!!!

I've been looking for a good system to get healthy and this was the perfect solution. Just completed my ignite phase and I loved it. I feel much better, my skin tone and completion have improved considerably in such a short amount of time.

by: jleydon
I'm a pretty healthy person in general. In the past I eliminated a lot of snacking and started on a better workout regime to move me into the fit level. This has worked great but found the ignite diet interesting to see if it could round out my eating habits a bit more.
My main concern starting is the fact that I have allergies to a lot of fruits and some veggies. I eat some anyway but certain foods I mix with dairy which curbs the reaction

I know my hormones are out of whack and I've been stuck watching the scale go up and up...while the muffin top around my waist continues to grow. I'm looking forward to the support of this community to help keep me on track!
-
sallyparadiseGOOD LUCK! I had never really worked out before, and my diet was ridiculous. Joining this site has really changed my life for the better! My advice is just keep at it, and you will see results, and be extremely proud of yourself.

I just turned twenty seven and I already have a lot of health problems. My joints ache like crazy, I'm tired all the time and have to deal with acid reflux among other things. I started exercising like crazy in January, lol New Year's Resolution. Although I lost about 15 lbs at 230ish lbs I got a long way to go and unfortunately I'm getting nowhere fast with the severe muscle fatigue and joint pains. Seriously, I went out for a jog and I thought I was going to break my ankles.
I went to the doctor to see if there was something terribly wrong with me and he didn't even bat an eye. All he said was your joints hurt because you're fat lay off the cheese burgers, fatty. Gee, thanks Captain Obvious. Good to know the $90 I spent to see him was money well spent.
Now, I'm trying out Ignite to see if I have some food sensitivity that's now kicking into high gear making me miserable and lose some weight in the process. Though even if I don't lose a pound I would be happy with relief from constant inflamation.

I have been trying to get my nutrition in order for years now. I do well for a few day or a few weeks, then fall off the wagon. I am hoping that this program (because it seems simple enough) will be what I have been looking for to help me make an over all life style change. I want to be healthy so I can have a healthy family, and become a good influence for those around me.

by: Sallydo
I was just going to say "I'm trying it because...", and then I thought of what someone told me....When you "try" to do something, you're giving yourself an option to fail. So...I AM going to ignite for the 21 days because I have inflammation and I'd like to see if cutting out the dairy, sugar, etc will make a difference. Also, I want to lose some weight so that would be a bonus.
-
by: Ruthleclerc
Well I don't know where to start, I always have weight issues and I keep making excuses to not stick to a,program or exercise... I have lost some pounds here and there but then I get bored and gained back twice as much... My husband has become really active I could say a little obsessive with working out and eating right, so I feel I have to jump on the same wagon, I know all the concept about eating clean and what I shouldn't be eating I just can't stick to it.

I have struggled with my weight for years, and as I get older it just gets more difficult. I have been doing the Daily Burn workouts for a few days now. I really like them, and I need to add in the proper nutrition. My shakes are on the way, I am focusing on a Paleo diet until they arrive. My sister is getting married in 6 weeks. I am hoping to be 10 lbs lighter by then. Of my sisters, I am the oldest and the shortest. I can't fix those things, but I don't have to be the fattest.

by: luisa71
to lose weight! ha! no seriously I gained 10 lbs in like a month and the rapid weight gain really freaked me out considering i was eating the same stuff (bad stuff of coarse) so I decided I needed to focus on getting back to where I was and even beyond that. I'm on week one of ignite and i have already seen some change!

by: rstafford
I wish that I could claim to have a deep reason for starting it. To be perfectly honest, I've been body sculpting for a few years now and I have reached a plateau with body fat loss. So, after reading the dietary requirements, I decided that Ignite was exactly what I needed to get past my plateau. So far it seems as though I was right! :)

I have had enough of trying a new 'diet' and not knowing where to go, how to start it etc resulting in no results. I am doing this to change my lifestyle and invest in my body the right way.

rblee2010I want to start, but I just don't think I can do it. I look at all the stuff I can't have and it scares me to death that I won't stick with it. I really should try it because I have be dignose IBS and have such stomach issues, but I just don't know if I can do it.

I need to say that after a week I've found a SERIOUS drop in cravings. There is chocolate in my house leftover from Christmas. Normally I would tell myself I could have a piece and then eat the whole bag in an hour. I haven't had a single piece. And ... there is CHOCOLATE left in my house from CHRISTMAS. It's pretty crazy to me. I am getting HUNGRY instead of WANTING food. I really don't think I could express my amazement to anyone. It's as if food has lost some of it's power over me.
