meagalayne

Hey Team October, or should I say... November! That time is finally here :drinker: Time to lay it all out, let us know how you did in October, and set new targets for this month. Thirty long days to accomplish health and fitness goals, to push yourself and to motivate others. This group was such a wonderful resource for many of us in the month of October and I really hope that we can carry it through November and beyond. New members always welcome :happy:

How do I put in my November-goals?

Anyhow, I managed to lose 10 lbs in October, and reached my mid-month new goal by losing 3.3 lbs by November 1st (today, yay!).

For November I'd like to lose 5 lbs

meggonkgonk

Hey guys- I managed to get to both goals- 162 lbs (7 lbs down for the month) and ran 10 miles in one week. This month's goal is below. Kat- I made a line for you too- but in future you can add your goals just by listing your name and writing your goal- just make sure to copy and paste anyone else who's added a goal.

Kattungen: To lose 5 lbs
Meggonkgonk: To reach 157 lbs & to run the first 2 weeks of my 10k running program (mileage13-14 and 15-16)


To everyone else posting your Nov goals, don't forget to copy/paste the two lines above before adding your goal!

Thanks guys! Here's to an AWESOME November!!! Good luck to everyone!

emmyworthy

Well I didn't manage to reach my goal!!! But I think I realised halfway through it was unattainable! Also at the end of October I managed to gain 2lbs! Not as bad as I thought but still not a loss!!!

For November I'm gonna be less ambitious with the weight loss but aim to do more workouts than ever!

Kattungen: To lose 5 lbs
Meggonkgonk: To reach 157 lbs & to run the first 2 weeks of my 10k running program (mileage13-14 and 15-16)

I am so looking forward to this month's challenge and the motivation that you girls will have for me. I was only in for the last 10 days of last month so this month is going to be great!!

Happy Losing!!

Happy Monday and Happy NOVEMBER everyone!! So psyched for this month. I know it's going to be a great one and that so many of us are going to hit incredible milestones...

As for Oct, I managed in the 11th hour to check each and every goal off my list! Even the totally unreasonable 10 push-up goal I set at the beginning and revised to 5 mid-month :bigsmile: Goes to show how much you can accomplish when you push yourself outside your comfort zone.

I hit my goal weight for Oct, weighing-in this morning at a cool 134.7lbs. I ran my 10k on Saturday in 64:37, a few mins faster than my generous goal time (setting a time to beat in the new year!) and this morning I finally got my push-ups in (I slacked yesterday and forgot... gah!) and in my 5th set managed to crank out 10 regular push-ups! I am really proud of my accomplishments this month and hope to keep it up through November...

I'm Rachel and I'm new 2. =D Hey!

My November goal is to loose 5 lbs Thanksgiving included. Would also like to loose 3 lbs by Thanksgiving day (going to see family).
Work out 3x a week for 60-90 minutes.
Run 5 k in 30 minutes or less (my best time now is 33 minutes)
Record my food in my food diary, and if I fall off the wagon get right back on the next day instead of wasting so much time!!
