    Hi Team

    Would it be possible to reactivate my profile for the November 2023 challenge?

    It's been a very lazy year and have not prioritised my health.

    I would love to get back running please.🥹

    Absolutely! I need a weigh day and your starting weight. Welcome back!

    I'm back after taking October off and was hoping to be put on the Nomber challenge. If there's still an opening for me.

    Thanks

    Yes we do. I need your weigh day and your starting weight. Welcome back.

    Meh.........all I can say

    Hang in there. I have been frustrated for months at a time. By sticking with it, I was able to prevent a total disaster and gain all the weight I lost back. I have just quit programs in the past and gain all plus more. We are here for you whether you lose or gain. Stick to your goals and you will see results.

    Oct 31: 👣📝🥗🎮 Happy Halloween! 18K . Great time at bingo, didn't win, cute costumes. I had task in another challenge that I am in that you had to pick your favorite candy or treat, figure out how many calories it had and do a workout that burned more calories than the candy. Had to walk an hour for the calories in a Baby Ruth. Will make me think twice before I sneak into the candy bin today!

    Glad you had fun. I am stealing your challenge.

    November Goals

    1. Kickboxing or Resistance Training 3x a week
    2. Cooking my HelloFresh 3x a week and maintaining leftovers
    3. Continuing journaling
    4. Stretching on the days I don't do workouts so I can help my soreness
    5. Prioritizing my downtime more
    6. Getting out of the 270s!

    Love your goals. Kickboxing is something I never have tried.

    @ddainiak thanks for this idea

    Let’s work off our favourite Halloween treat. Tell us what is yours and how you are going to burn it off. Here are some examples.

    Steps: 12,274
    Exercise: ✔️
    Rings: ✔️
    Physio: ✔️

    Best steps plus converted steps I had in awhile. I was at the pool forever yesterday. I swam and did exercises for almost 50 minutes. The rest of the time I was there I didn’t count as exercise as I was in the hot tub or chatting. The lady I was talking to was a dietitian and we had an interesting chat. She was telling me she gets her clients to say their goals out loud while looking in a mirror. I am going to try this for the rest of the month. I did make sure to be moving the entire time we chatted. I was planning on the pool today I am just too cold to walk over there. I will have to suck it up tomorrow as it’s only going to get colder the next few months. 🥶

    Question; Does anyone else find they find the cold more since they lost weight?

    My favourite Halloween treat will be a coffee crisp bar. Jersey milk is my favourite but I doubt I will see it. We are handing out candy at my daughters so my granddaughter always shares something with us. I will have to burn 160 calories if I eat two. That would be about 35 minutes walking. I think I should stick with one as we are having subs before they take my granddaughter trick or treating.

    @lindamtuck2018, great question! I think the weather change here and some life stuff have me feeling stuck, but this week I scheduled my workouts in my calendar, so they're in there and part of my day. I also have my HelloFresh coming on Tuesday, so I'll have my meals for the week figured out :) Also looks like you had a great Monday, I hope Halloween treats you well, too!

    @NachDeezy, congrats on making it to your goal early! That has to feel amazing!!

    @Megan_smartiepants1970, those are great goals for November!!

    Thank you :)

    I'll do it again - don't have to eat it - just work it off. My second favorite - M&M's a full size bag has 230 calories - now to figure out how long I need to exercise. 😁

    @lindamtuck2018 Love the chart. I had a Seagram's Escape & a nice bubble bath. 218 calories. I will have to burn it off tomorrow with mini trampoline:)

    That would be a fun way to burn those extra calories off.
