I will update the spreadsheet today.

Also I made us a group! If you want to join go to: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/103-november-weight-loss

If you have any problems, let me know. I do have the group to private, so I'll have to approve requests to join so it may take a bit til I get to them, but I did it this way so you can chat about what you want without fear of someone outside our little group seeing it!

I'm checking in, but I don't see my name on the spreadsheet (I'm on the first page of the original post) anyway, starting-250.00, today 248.00. I'm taking that weight as more of an average, it was lower this morning (aware of weight fluctuations) just been weighing in every morning and recording it, I like this method. keep up the good work all

Ok, so today in yet another crappy day. A sandwich and water turn into a sandwich, 2 20oz fountain sodas (free refills) and a cookie. How quickly I fall off the wagon. Could use some inspiration to keep going. Looking for friends that aspire to inspire!!!

How you are doing on your personal goal - NOT WELL. There's always so much going on during weekends that I either forget to eat or I pig out on something quick and easy. It's still a work in progress.

Weekends are tough! I really struggled to stay within calories on Friday.

Starting weight for challenge - 103.5kg
Today's Date - Nov 9th
Today's weight - 101.4kg
Goal weight for challenge - 99.5kg
Your personal goal - exercise 5x a week, complete food log EVERY day, add 5 friends
How are you doing on your personal goal - good so far. Adding friends has really helped. I've even logged the days when I was not so good, so although the diet could be better at least I'm getting a better idea of the changes i need to make.

Weighing in tmrw. Just getting up and around after surgery on the 28th of October so I'm a little nervous. 20+ years in CUTTTEEE!!! shoes and paid in full for it. Ladies beware!!

I was fighting the monkey on my back over last weekend. When the pain meds were gone it felt like I hadn't eaten in a month. Finally I gave in and ate 2500 calories on Monday to just be done with it!! It seemed to work and I've been on track since then. :noway:

On the personal goal note ~ I'm afraid that I haven't even started exercising yet BUT I'm still committed and hope to get up and running next week. :drinker:

See you all tomorrow!!
