Hey guys!! Its a new month, and hopefully the post Halloween sugar-fog has cleared...
What are your goals for November? Longer?
I am going to participate in No-Scale November as a way to really focus on my eating habits and become more aware of my body (beyond a number). I also hope to lose 10 lbs from my last weigh-in by Christmas (or the 15th, when I travel to visit family for the season). I think No-Scale will help make that happen!!
Also, this month I want to limit my over-calorie days (usually from alcohol) to once a week or less, and start a simple daily stretching / strength building routine.
HOW ABOUT YOU???

My goal for this month is to lose 5 pounds and continue progressing through C25K. I'll be seeing my family for Thanksgiving so that's a huge motivator for me! I'm going to aim to stay within my calorie goal every day until Thanksgiving
Good luck with your goals! They sound great. Ditching the scale is so therapeutic!0 -
I want to reach my pre pregnancy weight by the year end. I am weighing at 98.8 kgs right now and my pre pregnancy weight was 90. So my November goal Is to lose 5 kgs.0

November goal: try to find some exercise that involves no impact to my legs, since one knee is severely injured, and hopefully lose a pound this month. But i won't stress over it anyway, since the most important part is making sure this knee heals correctly...0
-
Mine is to get ready for the 5k I signed up for in December.0

Swimming? Otherwise would rowing be a bad idea because of the bending, or is it just putting weight on it that's bad?0 -
Goal for me, lost a few lbs maybe? Otherwise try and see if I can gain a bit of strength back, especially in my arms, and continue healing my tennis elbow0

I failed miserably with my October goals so I'm going to try and not be too ambitious this month:
1 - NO binge eating AT ALL in November
2 - Do a park run in November
3 - Go to the gym at least once a week (aim to re-start weight lifting)
4 - Do a 10K run (already paid for this so I doubt I won't do it!)0 -
I am pretty new to MyFitnessPal and am determined to succeed. My goals for November are simple in theory, but slightly more difficult to execute. Here are my goals:
1 - Discover and address issues for why I am currently overweight.
2 - Develop a morning workout routine where I walk between 1-3 miles every morning.
3 - Lose between 4-7 pounds by December 1st.
Best of luck to all of you in reaching our goals!0 -
My November fitness goals:
1. Maintain 50,000+ walking steps per week
2. Stick to an organized/planned strength training schedule (3x week--NOT one day--STOP being lazy, self)
3. Increase my intake by 50-100/day each week until maintenance level is reached (ongoing goal)0 -
My November goal is to lose atleast 5lbs. Continue to exercise for atleast 30 minutes or 1 hour.0
-
Start a new running training plan after my half marathon next week aimed at a race in January, and keep up with the running despite colder temperatures. (This is my biggest winter challenge.) Also, keep up with the morning exercise during the week and a regular strength training schedule.0
-
Start Stronglifts 5x5 and exercise regularly (5-6 days a week) again0
-
My goal for November is to do yoga daily. I really want to be more dedicated in my practice - I really liked how I felt when I was doing it every day over the summer. Unfortunately I'm sick and have missed the first two days of the month... Hopefully I can start tomorrow!0

Swimming is actually a great idea...i guess the only problem is that, since i won't have a car for awhile and i can barely walk, i need to find something nearby to do...the gym i have my membership at (with a pool, sigh) is 6 miles away. I have an elliptical, but when i tried it, iv just about fell over, lol.
Maybe wii boxing would help me get a little exercise in? I know very little about rowing, but i thought a machine was involved? Bending the knee hurts, but the doctor was very adamant about no weight while it's bent, so I'm thinking that bending it won't set me back, just bearing weight on it.0 -
My goal is to walk or snowshoe every day 60 minutes or more and do strength training. But my main goal is to focus on my diet - eat healthy and keep it under 1,400 calories a day. Hopefully I will lose 10-15 pounds.0
-
1. Walk 40 miles per week.
2. Stay within daily calories + eat back 1/2 of exercise calories.
3. Get to under 300lbs. About 8.5 lbs to go.0 -

YouTube has some chair exercise videos...some of them geared for Seniors, but not all. Saw a 40 mi. cardio/strenght workout that may be beneficial to you. Jessica Smith(I think is her name) Best of luck.0 -
1. No binging
2. Survive my triggers (going home is a big one)
3. Lose 5 more lbs.

My goal is to try to burn 15,000 for the month.0

I love reading these. So motivating! My goals for November:
1. Lose 10 lbs
2. Strength train at the gym 2x/week
3. Average 10000 daily steps each week. (Using Jawbone Up to track.)
4. Average 8 hours of nightly sleep each week.
5. Allow myself to believe that this weight loss is really happening this time and that it will not "just come back anyway."
6. A goal out of my control is to have people start noticing that I'm losing weight. I've lost 20 lbs and no one has said anything!

I have changed my goals completely for the month. I have 8 lbs to lose and lately I have been so hungry that I feel my workouts have suffered and I have been depressed. I have lost almost 60 lbs and those last 10 are a pain. So my weekly weight loss goal is now .5 lbs instead of 1 lb. I am also not going to weigh myself until Dec. 1st and I am going to work harder on strength training. I think I need to focus more on how I FEEL and how I look naked than a number on a scale. I am just tired of constantly being hungry, and I don't want to give up on this through pure frustration.0

I don't really have any huge goals. Just the usual stuff, stay at or under calorie goal every day and exercise 4 days a week. I don't really set a weight loss goal, but it sure would be pretty awesome if I made it 130 by Thanksgiving week0
-
Go back to 1200 calories till Thanksgiving and try hard to log all foods everyday and control eating on the weekends !!! I need to refocus ~~0
-
Get my shoulder rehabbed and no alcohol this month.0
-
Walk at least 5 miles a day.
Get in the gym 5 times a week at least.
Stop my darn binge eating issues I have been battling.
Lose 3-4 Ibs if I can.0
