That is a harder balance than it sounds like, isn't it.
I've not logged since Friday... I think I did ok until I hit the nuts... Sigh...the nuts...will I never learn?2 -
November Goals:
1. Stay under 20g carbs per day
2. Eat only when hungry
3. Do Yoga at least 3 times per week
4. Lose 5 pounds
I'm glad to have a challenge to keep me on track!2 -
Okay. I'm going to make this one easy for me. I'd love to see myself in the 180'S with no binges for November, and Thanksgiving is not an excuse to do so. Happy November!

November 1 check-in -> starting the month at 219 (lost 4 lbs in October!) and have already done 2 of my 5 workouts this week.
The really good news is that we had enough sugar in the house yesterday to put an elephant into a sugar coma - candy apples, 3 kinds of homemade cookies, cup cakes and Halloween candy - and I didn't eat a single bit of it! I did eat too much last night but it was mainly brisquit, cheese and stuffed jalapenos.3 -
I definitely can use this challenge!
My November goals (on Atkins):
♥ Maintaining under 30g net carbs
♥ Avoiding sugar/fruit
♥ Drinking at least 48oz water daily (working my way to 64oz)
♥ Meditating for at least 15 mins per day (doing this, but need to be consistent)
♥ Moving my body (moderate exercise) a few times per week
SW: 191.8

Well since I turned 40 yesterday & today is the first day of my LCHF journey, this challenge couldn't have come at a more perfect time!
So November goals.
* Stick to my new LCHF diet keeping carbs as low as I can.
* Stay under my 1650 daily calorie goal.
* Exercise at least 3 days a week. Either running, lifting weights, cycling etc. Dog walking does not count!
* Current weight is 180. I'd like to be 173 by the end of November.
* Survive my birthday party on November 12th without going crazy!
* And stop putting myself down!4 -

Stick to the plan, except for Thanksgiving meal and then right back to it. My weight will fall as long as I stick to the plan, so no numbers from me.5

I need to do this. I've been yo-yoing on and off LCHF for weeks and the only thing I've really accomplished is recognizing that one cheat meal makes me slide into a cheat day and that normally will turn into a weekend. So, my goal is to turn this WOE into a habit and it takes 30 days to make a new habit, right?
Goals -
1) Log every thing every day
2) Keep it under 25 net carbs
3) Only step on the scale once each week (the scale makes me crazy)
4) Drink more water than diet coke2 -

So day one is finished and it's been a good one. Evidently I have room for improvement when it comes to choosing low carb. But this is something I'm very new too.
I had a great lifting session at the gym. Came in just below my 1650 daily calorie goal & am currently sitting on my sofa watching Mad Max feeling pleased with myself5 -

I will join this challenge but no weigh in, this month the scales do not matter to me. Why? I am concentrating on getting my butt into the gym and to start exercising regularly again. I find that concentrating one one main item at a time really works for me.
So my goals are as follows:
1 stick to my carb limit and calories -Day 1 cals fine
2 walk up the stairs at work 3 times a day minimum Day 1 I rocked this one!
3 Get in between 6-10000 steps a day Day 1 and yay even with the Fitbit misbehaving I reached this goal
4 Go to the gym at least 3 times a week Month end an 14-17 hrs working days so a fail on Day 1
5 Warm up at the gym will be the 5K runner app, starting on week 1 See above, but I am not throwing in the towel!!4 -

@jtkatch , Bummer on the position. Especially after 25 years. Been there on that downsizing. Something better is always waiting. Keep your chin up. I worked for a few years, fresh out of college, as a behavior therapist in a mental health clinic. My clients were severely developmentally delayed adults who had been placed in "Community Living Programs" when the state closed all "Hospitals" they previously resided in.
MY GOAL for November: 1200 minutes dedicated to exercise of one type or another. Tonight was a 50 minute walk, 3 miles. That's about 3.5 mph. 1150 minutes to goal.
Go Cubbies!!2 -

I really have just one goal, which I started yesterday, and really fits the no nonsense challenge. I'm committing to 30 days of carnivore. And no counting.
No fussing over calories, carbs, macros, or weighing; causes too much stress for me. Just meat, eggs, butter, limited cream and cheese, water, and one morning coffee.3 -

You can do this. You might be shocked at how easy it becomes. It's almost effortless. I expend very little energy feeding my dogs, because there's no real choice. I expend very little energy feeding myself. It's just "what meat is thawed?" followed by "do I need to thaw or buy more meat?"2
