Time for me to re-energize my habits!
October 1 SW: 239
October 31 GW: 235-240
1. Gym or 10K steps 5 days per week
2. Strength training at least 2x per week
3. Log food again!
4. Cut out Caffeine/alcohol
Had my one year appointment with surgeon, and while he was supportive and pleased with my progress, he was very no-nonsense about the habits I have let slip in my post-goal "vacation". The "Vacation" was supposed to be a couple of weeks and has extended way too long.0 -
October 1 SW: 257
October 31 GW: 225
1. Get all of my protein in daily
2. Get all of my water in daily
3. Begin "normal" exercise 5x a week0 -
This month I WILL:
*Break into "Onederland".
*Be able to run for a solid 30 min @5.6 (Treadmill speed setting) without a walk-break.
*Find a lifting program that works with my less-than-stellar gym (Planet Fitness) and restart to Even Lift, Bro!
If I accomplish all 3, Ill have to make harder goals for November... Yikes!
Sub-goals will be to:
*Start eating more that veggie burgers and cheese. I used to LOVE cooking, but now there is almost no time.
*Resist peer pressure from all of my friends when it comes to cheating (beer, delicious foods). That's a hard life to completely give up, but the gains are worth the sacrifice.
*Talk to a woman, and at least attempt to set up a date. I've been in LTR status consistently since 18. Dating in late 30s is intimidating af.
*Attend support groups. The bari center offers them for free so why not?
*3 Month check-up on the 27. Hopefully the bloodwork comes back looking nice. I won't be surprised if my iron and potassium are low. I never hit my nutritional goals with them.
Wow, I think I may be encumbered.0 -
October 1: SW 227
October 31: GW 212 (wow, can I do that -- yes I can!) I'll hit Onederland by Thanksgiving!
1. Go to gym 3 x / week
2. average 11,000 steps/day
3. NO HALLOWEEN CANDY. None. Period. Absolutely no.0 -

1)weigh less than DH does by Halloween (that hasn't happened for 15 years, so this is a BIG One for me- 8lbs to get there as he's a tall, skinny guy)
2) no alcohol all month
3) log everything, even the not so awesome choices0 -
I plan to stick with my September goals of staying consistent with my exercise and food choices. I also plan to figure out some WLS friendly, high protein, pumpkin flavored stuff, because it's October!!!0

I'm deployed for the Red Cross, so I'm having a hard time meeting my macro goals. My main issue is that my protein isn't high enough and I will not add carbs. So, here are my goals...
1. Avoid the carb fest snack table right outside my office at all costs.
2. Eat 1 solid meal per day, as high-protein as possible.
3. Stop worrying that I'm not getting enough exercise, because my pedometer says otherwise.
4. Make it through this month without flinging myself off a carb cliff.0 -
Can you have some protein bars shipped in? I know they "have carbs" but they also have 1/3 of your daily required protein.0

Oof goals.
October 1st SW 279
October 31st GW 265
1 - Back to the gym. 3x weekly at minimum.
2 - Stick with the food plan I created.
3 - Don't transfer bad habits. I used to eat out of boredom, and I don't need to introduce a new bad habit for the same reasons.
4 - Avoid the carbs. I don't tolerate them well, I know it, my body knows it, just stop already.0 -

October Goals
SW: 212
GW: 199
I will hit ONEDERLAND by Halloween!
I will start exercising (again)
I will increase my fluids and protein
I will work towards jogging instead of just walking because I haven't ran in almost 10 years!0 -
I was talking to my husband last night about this. Two months post op I feel like I'm being a good little camper, but there's always room for improvement. So here is what I've come up with:
◇ get 40-50 grams of protein daily (this is the # from my doctor)
◇ eat at least one raw fruit and one raw vegetable serving daily
◇ eat cleaner
◇ avoid white flour
◇ cook foods that will help my husband lose weight (his request)0 -
I like this. It will force me to think of the small changes I need to put into my life one by one to really succeed.
October goals:
Add resistance training to my walking and elliptical.
Vary my diet a little, and add vegetables back in.
Enter Onederland.0 -
October goals:
1.exercise 4x per week. Always a huge struggle!
2. Drink more. At about 46oz now. Add another 16.
3. Eat some sort of veggies every day0 -
Seeing some great goals here! Let's achieve some of these goals during this first full week of October! We got this!!0

I know I'm late, but I just started getting back on track this week.
I'm 3.5 years post op, I originally went from 290 to 160 (my goal weight). I'm up 50 lbs back to 210. My goals for the next 3 weeks are as follows:
No more snacking on office snacks
At least 8 glasses of water a day
At least 60 g of protein a day
No Halloween treats
Only drink on occasions (currently drinking almost daily)
With these in place, I'm aiming to get down 5.2 lbs to be 205 by Halloween

I just joined this group today so I am just seeing this!
My Oct goals are:
~lose 5 lbs by end of month. CW 275.4 End of Month GW 270.4 Lost (Total lost so far 85lbs.. sleeved 3-11-15)
I WILL acheive this by:
~logging food
~drinking 64 oz of water a day
~3 days of weights / 3 days of cardio each week
all three of these are things I am currently not doing.
I started logging food a few days ago, but not whole day so tracking will keep in on task.
I do drink water, but I don't know how much so tracking will be great.
I am currently doing weights 3 times a week but not cardio.
