So who wants to lose/gain/maintain in November? All of us right!
Want a bit of motivational support and accountability? Cos I know it helps me!
So yeah, come join me in making November a successful month :happy:
I'm going to limit the size of the group to 15 people because I find it is more supportive and motivational in a smaller group. First come first served.
Do a weekly weigh in on a Monday if that's good with everyone.
Fill out the form below and lets get cracking!

So, you are going to make me go back to my Monday weigh-in?!?! I changed mine to Wednesday in the middle of October because my sodium intake on the weekends just kills me - but I will go back to Mondays for the group.
Name: Sally
Start weight: Oct 27 - 127
Aim for November: To get to ~122 pounds (I'm shooting for 120 by New Year's)
What you are going to do to get there: Currently I'm slacking big time! So, in November I plan to do the 30 Day Shred workouts 3 days a week and start the C25K program for another 3 days a week. I have a 6 1/2 month old daughter, so getting any exercise in will be an accomplishment! I also plan to stick to my calories, at least all of November except during the 24th through the 28th - I've decided not to deprive myself during Thanksgiving and my brother's wedding! In addition, I usually don't log my calories on the weekends, I just practice portion control. . .so, we'll see where that gets me!
Your current motivation:
1. Myself - I want to get rid of my baby belly fat.
2. Tax season is getting too close to not be at a weight to maintain.
3. My brother's wedding - PICTURES!
2. Last, but not least, my husband and daughter. I want to be the best I can be for them!0 -

November is going to be a great month! I believe in us!
Just noticed I only gave my screen name - my real name is Joni if you want to update your spreadsheets :-)0 -
I'm in for starting on November 1. My vote is to use the weigh-in Monday as our "official" start, as mine will probably be up from weekend sodium and Halloween candy intake. . .maybe weighing in Monday will help me watch it this weekend!
Happy Halloween to all! I'm looking forward to a good November with you!0 -
If I can maintain my weight this weekend I will be happy, having a halloween party at my house tonight...food...drinks...agh!0

So I started sending friend requests to all 14 of my soon-to-be best November Challenge buddies, but I guess you can only make a limited amount of friend requests in a 10 minute span:grumble: . . .so, add me if I don't get the rest of you added soon!
We were invited to a Halloween party on Saturday night, but haven't decided if we are going to go. . .However, I made treats for my daughter's daycare party and I can't seem to stay out of the leftovers! Nutter Butter ghosts, sugar cookies and cake pops - AHHHH! So, I'm going to have to work on my sweet tooth this weekend!0 -
