    Hi everybody!! My November goal is to lose 5 pounds by November 20th, and then maintain that through the end of the month. My husband and I are leaving on the 20th for a little vacation in Colorado, so I'd like to have my weight lost before then, and then maintain that through our trip and through Thanksgiving (that's a tall order with two families of wonderful cooks!). Still want to drink at least 8 cups of water per day and exercise at least 5x per week/30 minutes each. My Halloween weekend was a splurge (*hopefully not TOO bad*), so I'm ready to buckle down and get to losing!

    I want to keep exersizing 5 times a week upped to 45 min
    I want to drink 8 cups of water not the 4 or 5 I have been
    I want to LOSE WEIGHT not just inches:grumble: (although they are nice to lose too):bigsmile:

    My halloween was full of 2.5 hours of walking, a game of ghost in the grave yard, a loooong walk, and my wifes 14 year old brother getting me too run with asthma. man as soon as I caught my breath he had me running again! I wish he lived closer! he would keep me moving!

    Good luck to everyone through November!

  • OOPs! I didn't view this thread until after I started a new one. :noway:
    I'm using this one - thanks lmr9!

    My starting weight was 195, so I lost 4lbs for October. I missed my goal by 5lbs. :frown:

    Weigh-in this morning: Down 1 lb. Starting weight for Nov: 190

    Goals for Nov: Lose 5lbs by 11-30; Meet calorie goals DAILY; Stay on track thru Thanksgiving, continue exercising 5 days a week, include 30 Day Shred 3 x week.

    To everyone who lost weight, met or surpassed their Oct goal - CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You are an inspiration and motivation for the rest of us! Keep it up!
  • Okay. I'm going to commit to keeping a spreadsheet for whoever wants to see it. This will be a 'test' for this week and if I can maintain and we want to continue, I'll do it. OK?

    So, please give me your current weight as of today. If you are tracking inches lost, give me those too and I'll incorporate that into the ss.

    Good luck, everyone! :flowerforyou:

    BTW: Newbies welcome. :smile:

    Send me your email address if you want a sample of what I'm including in the spreadsheet. Like jolinemm_07, I tried to cut and paste in here, but the columns get messed up. :(

    Good morning everyone. I had a totally great week (including indulging in food) since last Tuesday and now I need to get back on track

    As of this morning I am 135.5. My November weightloss goal is 5 pounds so 130.5 by Nov 30.

    I plan to continue my last two weeks of ChaLEAN Extreme and then start Turbo Jam. So that means at least 5 days of workouts each week and then more if I feel like it but not required. I also want to continue my water intake (at least 8 glasses a day).

    Monday - 40 min workout so far.

    Congrats to TEAM FIT. Even if you did not make your goal if you are still here you are still committeed and that is all that matters. Sometimes we will all have set backs but you have to recognize what is happening, accept that you are only human, and commit to get back on track. I BELIEVE IN EACH ONE OF US. We can do this.:happy:

    Good morning team!
    Sorry I didnt post yesteday, I was not at work, I'm not feeling too great. Well I didnt lose any weight last week for some reason. I was very frustrated, but then I realized that it might be because I wasn't eating all my 1200 calories. I was probably eating around 900. So I'm making it my goal for this month to make sure I eat all 1200 calories every day. I will also be drinking 8 glasses of water and exercising 65 mins at least 5 days a week. But I'm going to try for 7 days. I cant remember what I started at least month but I weight 180 now so i think I met my goal. My goal for weight loss this month is 8 pounds. I'm hoping for 2 pounds a week. Okay team, lets make it a good day and good luck to everyone! I know we can do this!!:flowerforyou: :glasses: :happy: :tongue: :bigsmile: :drinker: :wink:

    WELCOME Andrea! Glad to have you! I will add you to my spreadsheet to track your progress. I am thinking of sending everyone an updated copy either on Saturday or Sunday as I get time. Hopefully, that will keep us all focused and motivated for the upcoming week. Good luck!!! We can do this! :happy:

    good morning team!!! :tongue:
    It's Wednesday! Hope your week is going good so far!
    Yesterday: 65 mins of exercise and 9 glasses of water. I didnt eat 1200 calories. But I came close. I believe I ate around 900 or 1000. I thought I had milk and I was going to have milk with dinner but I didnt have any. I think I planned my meals out better today so I should be able to get almost 1200 calories in. Its at 1165 so I think thats close enough. I dont understand how I cant get 1200 calories in though. The food I eat keeps me full and I dont need to eat any more than that. But I know I should. how did I do it before I started dieting!? Oh wait, I know. From all the fast food!!!! And soda! I haven't had soda in over 3 months now!:bigsmile: God I hope I lose weight this week. I was also wondering, not to give out t.m.i. but, it was that time of the month last week, so I'm wondering if that had something to do with me not losing any weight too? what do you guys think!? God I hope I lose this week! keep up the great work everyone!! November is going to be a good month, I can tell!!!:glasses: :flowerforyou: :smile: :drinker: :tongue:

    Thanks! Last night I took some PM medicine and went to bed at 9:00 - slept until 7:00 this morning - so I'm totally rested. I think that helped a lot!
  • Good morning, TEAM!

    aabelein - You're probably right that you didn't lose last week because of that T.O.M. I bet you see loss this week....just keep it up - you're doing great!!!

    lmr9 - take care of yourself...warm salt water gargle 2x day for the throat and plenty of liquids. Hot liquids help keep the virus' at bay, according to swine flu articles.

    Tues: 7 water, 90 exercise, very close to calories. I'm like you, Ariel, I'm not hungry enough to eat all 1200 cals each day. I'm trying to choose the right foods and get plenty of protein.

    Everyone have a wonderful day and let's stay focused on our goals for November! :smile: :wink: :happy:

    If you want a copy of the spreadsheet, email me at goins25@gmail.com . I'll be sending it out Saturday or Sunday each week.

    Its difficult but I'm really going to try to find a way to eat healthy but get in all my calories...... i guess maybe I need to go grocery shopping for some more snacks or something....... and I'm really hoping i didnt lose any weight because of that T.O.M.!! god please let that be the reason! lol :laugh:

    aabelein - don't get discouraged. Think positive and keep up the water, exercise, and correct calories and you will see a difference

    lmr9 - take care of yourself and follow the warm liquids suggestion. make sure you get plenty of fluids to not make yourself worse

    down sizin - keep making the right choices for your calories. I tend to eat the same thing most days so I have a good idea how to hit my calories

    also, thanks for keeping the spreadsheet i will pm you my email address

    Tuesday - 10 glasses water, 60 min workout
    Wednesday - 40 min workout so far
