    Goal would be to eat clean for the ENTIRE month and exercise 6x/week...even on Thanksgiving! Though I will enjoy food I will not go over my calorie limit.

    MissMorningDew you and I are on the same page with our goals.Minus a few hiccups my eating is fairly well under control. Although I must admit that I am already praying for strength on Thanksgiving day. I do know that I will be exercising that day. As for the rest of it....I've completed week two of C5K and love being able to run again. Tomorrow week 3 begins. I've also faithful done resistance training 3x each week. Its my least favorite thing to do and that may explain why I'm so pathetically weak up top. I'm seeing improvements so I will persist. Stay Strong Ya'll! We deserve to be FIT and FABULOUS!!

    I definitely don't think that I am going to reach my goal this month. Last week was just BAD. I am back on plan though. I also decided that the 30ds is not for me. as much as I like level one I HATE level 2 and I ended up stopping. I am still very much pro exercising though. If you have a dvd that you follow that's challenging and realistic, let me know about it.

    Hey ladies,

    I am sorry I do not comment a lot on here : I usually access MFP on my phone so I can't write on the forum.

    Curvimami, you should be proud of yourself for achieving your fitness goal, even though you did not reach your weight one. This is why I like setting myself other goals: the scale can be pretty inpredictable.

    Pennhotmom, hang in there! You'll reach your goals next month :)

    November challenge is now official over and while I won't weigh in until Dec. 2, I know I've made positive gains. My clothes fit better and I feel good. I had to postpone my C25K running program after 3 weeks because my left knee started to really hurt. Tried running with a brace and that was awkward and the pain persisted. I've been walking more and using the eliptical machines to alleviate some of the stress on the joint and things have improved. I'm also scheduled to see orthopedist next week to get things checked out. I have faithfully continued my strength training sessions with a trainer 3X per week. I'm actually enjoying it and learning so much about my body. I can truly FEEL the underused muscles in my body come alive. Anyway folks while this phase of our shared journey ends for me the challenge continues...FITNESS FOR LIFE!!

    Didn't make it to the goal I set, but I came very close. I'm content considering the last week of the month was beyond stressful. I did drop another pant size this month and I. An wear a size six in a few brands. That is big for me because I haven't done that since I was nineteen.
