    Oct Week 1 weigh in
    267
    264

    So my weigh in just got woo'd. I am hoping whoever woo'd thinks that woo is supposed to mean something positive. There is some confusion on mfp as to whether it is a compliment or an insult.

    I used to "Woo" people all the time thinking it meant "Woohoo" lol. Definitely take it as a compliment.

    Weigh in (Sept. 30)
    Starting weight for October challenge is 243.6

    I’m setting a goal to lose 5 pounds this month. I’m going to step up my exercise. What’s realistic for me is yoga class twice a week and one workout at the gym per week.

    Daily Post 1 Oct

    Track: Yes (I think this is did we track everything we ate?)
    Calories: no - not even close. See below
    Exercise: Yes 45 min gym session

    Goals/Day: I'm away from home travelling for work. So I dont have the same at-home control over what goes in my mouth. My team went out for lunch (yum!) And dinner (also yum!) And I erred on the heavy side of calorie counting because I just dont know what's in it. Proud of myself to walk extra and do the gym though. Haven't done that while travelling before. Another day at the office and then home late. 😝

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Met goal.
    Exercise: Not yesterday, but will go to the gym today!
    Water: I'd say about 2 liters. Did not track it but definitely had a lot.

    Comments: Was a little naughty yesterday. The lady at the samples stand INSISTED that I have a donut hole lol. Was still good with calories though (both weekend days!). Weighed in this morning at 186.8 which is the same as yesterday so I'm glad it didn't go up! Also, really proud of myself. Have been making really good choices lately. My mom asked me to go get her a burger and get myself one as well. Looked up the calories, everything made me go over my calories so I just decided not to get anything at all. Big victory for me. I used to never let go of an opportunity. Also going to the gym today. Got really tired last time I went and did cardio so going to try not to take a break in the middle of the jog like last time. Really wanting to meet my 185 goal by the end of this week so planning on eating under calories tonight.

    Hi all! My name is Amy, this is technically my 3rd month doing the BLC buuuut I was hardly active at all during September. I was so sure that September was going to be my month buuuut it was far from that. I was in a funk, mentally and physically. I’m determined to get back at it this month. My goal this month is to log everything every day, do the daily posts, not eat out, and drink lots of water.

    @a_petersen09 Welcome back Amy! October will be your month!!

    Daily Post: Monday, Oct. 1st

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Yes, Under, IF 5/2 fasting day
    Exercise: Yes, 35 min. stairs & 70 min arc trainer HIIT

    Goals: Keep drinking water and tea! Have to watch sodium bc I had a lot of soup over the weekend (sick)... was a high calorie weekend, so I need to really watch it this week--not expecting a loss, but hoping to stave off a gain if I can.

    Good morning all!

    I am Lyndsay and I am a newbie here to BLC. I am 29 and currently at my heaviest weight of 220lbs.
    I am no stranger to MFP, back in 2012-2015 I was heavily into fitness, very rarely eating junk food, going to the gym 6 days a week weight training and such. However, mid 2015 I had a wee scare when i started getting pains in my heart when I was going to the gym, so I opted to take a week or so off, but 3 years later, I still haven't fully committed to being back despite all my efforts.

    With my 30th in 5 months, I have decided that I really need to start taking care of myself, especially with a family history of heart disease and stroke. However, what really hit the nail on the coffin, so to speak, was when I looked at my Just Eat account for September and seen that I ordered TEN times in the first three weeks in September. That's roughly 3 times a week I was having greasy takeout's.

    Yesterday, I took part in my third annual Great Scottish Run 10k with my third annual tradition of not training :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: So yesterday after my post run nap, I decided for next year, I will train for it and set up a training plan with Endomondo that has me out walking/running four days a week which begins on Thursday (allow my hips and legs a few days to recover :tongue: ),

    I am excited to see where BLC takes me and to read and cheer on all your accomplishments, no matter how big of small! :D

    xo

    @LyndsayAnne316 Welcome!! It's awesome that you participated in a 10K!!! Great plan! Welcome to the team!!

    Week: October Week 1
    PW = 259.4
    CW= 260.2

    Slightly up from last Monday - but I have missed two Gym sessions (Friday AM - due to my car being in the garage, and today - as I had to be in at work for 6:45am). I am 100% confident that I will be lower towards the end of the week/beginning of next. I hate being away from the gym!
    @PrincessVamp666 It happens, weight loss isn't linear, hang in there and next week will be better!!

    @CourtneyLomonaco I sort of assumed that considering you started at 160 and all the weights after that were in the 150s :smile: Seemed like a typo...

    Hi all!

    My name is Missy and I’m in my early 30’s living in the Southern New England with my fiancé and our 4 furkids (2 Huskies, 1 Alusky, and 1 Bichon Frise who thinks she is a Husky). I work full time and then some in the corporate world. I recently started my own business as an Young Living Essential Oils Distributor, to support a healthy lifestyle and overall wellness. I’m still fairly new at that, so finding what oils works for me is a work in progress. I’m also in the process of researching a Graduate program to obtain a Ph.D in Sociology or Criminology in hopes to obtaining a job as a Sociology or Criminology Professor.

    I take kickboxing, and Zumba classes. I also go kayaking, hiking, riding my bicycle with my fiancé and friends. My goals is to get back into running since it has been awhile and am basically starting at square one.

    I’ve been a returning member of this Team and this month I’m refocusing on my diet and habits because I’ve been stuck in a rut for awhile now and I want to make it into Onederland by Christmas and at my goal weight/shape by my wedding. I’m currently a size 20 at 212.6 pounds and want to get back down to 110-120 range overall.

    Whose ready to kick off October and achieve their goals?!?

    @gemwolf110 Welcome back Missy! You can definitely make it Onderland by Christmas, you got this!

    @unchainedzulu Traveling does make it much harder to make better choices, as restaurants don't make it easy to be good, which is probably the entire reason I never eat out (and also it's expensive)! Awesome job sneaking in exercise while traveling, that does help!!

    @ssssanaaaa OMG those free sample people drive me bat crap crazy, like I very politely decline the first time....but after that, I'm much less nice..just saying. I think when you have a goal in mind, it's a lot easier to think about the things that won't get you there and pass them over, like passing on that burger! Awesome job!

    I love your idea to weigh in on Mondays.
    I am not brave enough to do that. haha My weekends are hard enough to track, so it would be difficult to stay in my calories...
    I weigh in on Thursdays to try and give myself enough time to "undo" any weekend damage that might have happened... haha Not the best strategy.... And maybe next year, I will change it to Mondays. But anyone who sets their weigh in day for Mondays....

    @tinak33 You ALWAYS find a way to crack me up, and this picture is no exception....

    ANYWAYS how are you doing with your intermittent fasting and coffee?
