Hello! How is everyone doing? I am off to a good start. I enjoy my cocktails but have been cutting back on that to cut out extra calories. It is working:)

nomoremuffintopness

Doing ok. I need to do better, I went 557 calories over yesterday, but I know exactly why so I wont make the same mistakes today or tomorrow

mcanals123

im doing ok so far but keep getting these cravings late at night for sweets and they r driving me crazy for the last two nights ive had to grab an oreo just so i can calm it down and i had to give away all the babies halloween candy cuz having easy access to it was also not a good idea lol

princesspurple

Sarah-knowing what you are doing wrong is half the battle! Me, like mcanals123...I have been eating my 22 months old's Halloween candy everynight! The good thing is I cut out any alcohol, now I have to cut out the candy! The other night I had tea w/ honey, and then never went back to the kitchen. I fought the anxiety inside that I had, wanting to go back in there-but I beat it:)

Logging makes you so much more aware, why did I ever quit??? Oh, because I got pregnant and totally ate everything in sight lol. Well the old Sarah is back!!!!!

One question, when do we weigh in?

jessemerson86

I know I'm a little late jumping in, but I really feel like I need some extra motivation/accountability this month (especially with Thanksgiving coming up). So if it's okay with all of you, I'd like to join up.

Motivation: Keeping up with my boyfriend's 2 year old son; proving to myself that I can get this weight off; Having more energy to do all the housework that needs to get done.

princesspurple

Well-Sarah! You will always be the old Sarah, you just have to let those bad habits over rule you :devil: easier said than done!

It is never to late to join this group, and hopefully at the end of the month, we will all be closer to success:drinker:

Fitnewlife-good question about weighing in. It is up to you or anyone! You can post it daily, weekly, or wait until the end of the month. Whatever is better for you. I normally weigh in on Thursdays, so I will post mine then to give me an extra push!

I usually weigh myself on Fridays, but Ive only been doing this since Tuesday, havent lost just yet... but Im feelin good

princesspurple

Thanks for reminding me Sarah! We are now 5 days into the month! Don't blow it over the weekend, I think for most that is the hardest time to stick to things, you are not on the same schedule like you are throughout the workweek!

I am running my 'race' on Sunday so I will be carb loading tomorrow and resting on Monday. But I will try to get on here at some point!

albredera

checking in... Saturday 11/06 = 168.2....

nomoremuffintopness

I lost a pound now 154

princesspurple

great job both of you....i will post a full list of drops this week at some point. i am off to run 26.2!

jessemerson86

Nicole, hope the marathon went well! I've been thinking about trying running, but every time I've tried it before I always get so out of breath so quickly--any tips?

Got on the scale tonight: 178 lbs

albredera

checking in... Saturday 11/06 = 168.2....

checking in... Monday 11/08 = 167.6....

albredera

great job both of you....i will post a full list of drops this week at some point. i am off to run 26.2!

princesspurple..... thank you :flowerforyou:

princesspurple

Yeah! It looks like the numbers on the scales are going down. I will post the updated number list on Friday. If I don't see a post on here from you-I will message you directly to see if you are still want to be on here. I know sometimes, people drop out of threads. If you are dropping off, please message me...but don't drop off:sad: We can do this together!

Okay..............I did it! I ran a marathon. It was amazing. I ran it much faster than I thought I could ever imagine. Another thing-I saw a bunch of friends from college on the sidelines, we said hello-it was great to see them weighing less than I did when I got out of college-16 years later!.

Jess-I never thought I could run. I only started in January...I tried last year for a few weeks around late spring, and then gave up. So in January, I set out on a plan to lose some weight and run a half in April. Now here I am:)....I don't know if I will ever run a full again. It is a lot of training time and I like to be home with the family on the weekends seeing I work full-time....but I am surely up for another full!

I trained by using this method...I forget what it is called...it is not the C25K, though I have heard good things about that. I will let you know asap...one thing I know now, is it is mind over matter!

princesspurple

I just wanted to say good luck to all of you! I hate to hear that you weren't accepted into a challenge group. I think that's pretty sad. I have a group and we welcome any and everyone at any time!!

I'm glad you all have found a place to unite! Good luck and hope all your loss goals come true!
