    Hi All,

    I'm new to the group but looking for some accountability! My goals are:
    1. Track every day and stay pretty much on track
    2. Run 15km/week
    3. Start doing just a little bit with weights - even though I hate weights!

    I'm just staring my journey, new to the process.
    My goal for the month:
    1. Drop to 140lbs. (5lbs to go)
    2. Eat out only once a week.
    3. Appropriately portion my meals.

    So far I'm off to a good start, doing my runs and keeping my meals within a normal size portion!

    Hello to you all !
    I am completely new to joining any community or sharing my fitness / weight loss aims with anyone.

    I really hope this forum will help me:
    1. Stop snacking ( when I was working in the office I had managed to stop snacking, now I am working from home I eat constantly - I am rewarding myself with food ( boredom tiredness too busy to make anything )
    2. Log my food in mfp - I joined mfp years ago but I have never logged my food for longer than a few days.
    3. Loose the stone I have put on since March ( I will not manage this by the end of November but I would like to be heading in the right direction by December)
    4. Exercise three times a week

    I know I feel better if I am fitter and I am at my ideal weight and I know it’s best for my long term health ( as I am no longer 21 !) I just need reminding sometimes.

    Good luck to all of the rest of you on this thread - I hope you all reach your goals !

    Thank you @Antiopelle for starting the November thread!!

    47 my bday month!
    5'2", 113, 20% body fat

    My goal for the month is to have perfect active month on my apple health tracker. I was short by 3 days last month so i think its doable.

    I would like to drop another 1% of bf and see 110 but, i am happy how i feel now. So mainly here for accountability and keep track!

    09/11: 74.0 Which I know is pretty high, I saw some lower numbers the last days. I feel I have to work harder than usual to drop the weight, I guess it might be hormonal and that a pre-menopausal change is happening.

    New her too. And late to start. I tried to not look at the scale during this Covid mess, but need to get back to my weight before this started.

    SW- 125
    GW-118

    My goals this month:
    1. Close all my rings x3 on my apple watch- in the apple watch contest and that's the goal and playing pickleball has made that easy to do.
    2. Log all my food and eat my calorie goals.
    3. I have added a stretch routing to my daily exercise this month which has helped with my migraines and overall body movement - I still need to force my to do it. So goal is to stretch everyday... 3 xBody pump/ wk.
  • First post ever! I'm here to be more accountable for my unhealthy habits and binge eating while losing some COVID weight gain.

    Goals for November:
    1. Find starting weight/measurements (just ordered a scale) and determine goals
    2. Eat only one snack per afternoon
    3. Check in on this discussion board for accountability, especially during the Thanksgiving holiday

    Hi, I'm new! I signed up for MFP years ago and never really used it. The last year I've put on almost 15lbs. I've gotten to a point where it bothers me to much and I want to fix it.

    5'2"
    SW: 147.4lb
    GW: 130lb

    My goal for the month:
    1. Lose 1 pound per week.
    2. Cut my nightly glass of whiskey down to 3 per week.
    3. No stress eating.
    4. Actually do those youtube exercises I've bookmarked at least 4 times a week.
    5. Learn how this accountability buddy thing works and participate.

    10/11: 74.4 - Yesterday was a crazy working day and hubbie ended up preparing spaghetti bolognese late at night while I was still working. I gobbled down a double portion because I was starving, frustrated and tired. Of course, this shows today.

    Hi all!
    Been using myfitnesspal for years on and off, and took a long hiatus during my pregnancy and postpartum journeys recently. I'm almost 8 months postpartum now and finally managed to get under my pre-pregnancy weight :smiley: Now focusing on losing the last bit that I've been wanting to lose even before getting pregnant.
    We're leaving for a beach holiday 16 December so the goal is to reach my goal weight by then. I hope this (and the December accountability thread) will help :smile:

    For reference:
    Height: 166cm
    Age: 31

    SW: 59 kg (just after my son was born)
    CW: 56 kg
    GW: 52 kg

    Checking in:

    11/1 (5'6") 139.9
    11/8. 137.7
    11/9. 139.5.

    Worked hard last week, logged every bite, added more sprinting and longer jogs than I needed to.

    The scale moved down but back up after a refeed. I am not going to run for a few days, the recovery makes me so hangry... but I still want my running skills and endurance back (after baby/injuries) and so I’m torn.

    Goals:
    1. Logging every day - yes
    2. Keep strength training on alternate days but add 10 minutes of aerobic warmup (got a step for this!) - yes (but still waiting for my step).
    3. Get out on the trails 5 days a week - short outings count! - yes, streak is 9/10 days.

    Checking in for the day :)

    This morning I was in the 55.something kg range for the first time in a long time! Hope it sticks around, especially since I had a friend for coffee and some treats this morning. I have my husband's year end party tomorrow night and looking to wear a dress I haven't worn in ages. I'm a bit scared to try it on... We'll see!

    And the dress fit! :smiley: glad about it, but I might not actually wear it. I'm eyeing a pencil skirt if I can find a pretty top. Anyway, managed to stay within the 55.sometings even after the morning snacks and evening pasta from yesterday. Hopefully I don't throw it all out the window over the weekend.

    Hi all!

    47 for another 10 days :D
    5'2"

    CW 114
    GW 112 for this month
    CBF 21%
    GBF 19% ultimate goal

    So today I am going to the Red cross to donate blood. (red cells)!
    I've used to donate but after a rejection when I weighed less than 110, I hadn't.
    But since I am over the limit, and being the universal donor (rh negative O), I figured, WHY NOT!
    Going to OTF as usual in the morning then shower up, hydrate and rest before heading out.

    Have a good weekend!!!

    I am new to this discussion thread but have been a myfitnesspal member for quite a while and I know that when I use it, I lose weight. However, in the spring I began to gain weight, especially when the gym closed. I am hoping to get back on track now that I am tracking and exercising again.

    I currently weigh 140lbs and would like to get down to 138 by 11/30. I had wanted to get down to 132lbs by 12/31 but I think I won’t quite make it, but that is ok. I need to increase my activity, even though I hate cold weather.

    16/11: 74.1 - it is sooooo slow and I am wondering if it is hormonal or maybe my pain meds are interfering with my weight loss. I know my body full well by now and I know exactly what I need to eat and how much exercise I need to do. But this is caterpillar slow ... but at least it is downwards !
