I have four:
1. I LOVE experimenting with burgers. Different meats, spices, and methods of cooking really intrigue me.
2. On top of that, we have weddings and parties to go to during November which is going to mess things up. I'm going to have to really watch my portions.
3. I'm also extremely afraid I'm going to mess up my ankle or injure my back (some way... some how). It always seems to happen and I get set back really far. I'm only 31. #%@*%#@!
4. My sisters are always making sweets and desserts and it's so hard to resist... but I must resist... but they're so good... no you can't have them... but I must

My biggest hurdle is staying consistent. I know what I need to do, but it is a matter of doing it on a consistent level.0

My biggest problem comes when my husband and I go out to eat. I usually wont eat the bread they bring to the table but if I do I eat more than one bite and chalk it up as a cheat meal....saying I'll do better tomorrow. I have to stop going out to eat so much. We have really cut down, though. I do like to cook, just not every day.0

PORTIONS!!! My portion sizes often get out of control, and due to my lifestyle I tend to eat later in the evening, which is not good either. I must try harder to reduce my portions down!!0

In India our major festival Diwali and also our New year is in November so loads of traditional high cal food will be prepared at home and also going for a trip with family so it will also be a hurdle for me.
P.S.: My mamma makes very delicious food so it'll be harder for me to resist myself.0 -
My main one is graduation...I'm graduating on 23rd Nov...going for a carvery (my fav) with the family then going out in the evening and...welll....:drinker: lol.
That might be my downfall....only one day though! I could still make it!0 -
My biggest hurdle will be staying on track the days before and after Thanksgiving. I plan to eat what I want on the actual holiday without getting over stuffed, but the days around the holiday I want to stay within my calorie limit for sure.0

My morning workouts are my biggest hurdle as it is dark and cold for them now, but if I don't do it in the morning the workouts won't happen. Aiming for minimum 5 morning a week if not more :happy:0

What is my biggest hurdle... getting motivated to exercise. I enjoy Zumba, but there were no classes over the summer and the instructors decided not to start them back up. Getting cold now and walking outdoors is not enjoyable. Any suggestions?0

What's a carvery???0 -
Myself. I know what to do, I know what to eat and what to eat less of, but there is something inside of me that shuts down, and I start to eat without realising.0

Mexican Food and cooler weather...while the majority of my friends are relishing the cooler weather coming along, I absolutely do not. I am such a cold wimp, It's most difficult for me to leave a warm bed. Makes keeping on top of my diet seem easy!0

My biggest hurdle is staying motivated and not letting myself fall off the wagon. In the middle of the month I usually barely ever go to the gym and start eating like crap. I'm going to try my hardest not to do that!0
-
Staying on track on the weekends...I do great during the week when my day is structured but the weekends are tough with get togethers, going out to eat, etc. Thanksgiving will also be a challenge as it's one of my favorite holidays so I plan to do lots of working out before and after so I can indulge a little. Game on....goodbye 10 lbs!!!!0
-
chocolate!!! need i say more...now with Halloween over, coworkers will be bringing in all their leftovers and I find it very hard to resist. I havent tracked for 2 or 3 weeks but now I think its time i got back at it...!! I want to lose the 10 pounds and I think that I can do it...thats only 2.5 pounds per week.....0

EVENINGS!!! I do really well all day long and at night I have a couple vices that I just have to get a handle on but at night my stresses from the day come to a head, i am starving for dinner and I can't control myself. Don't get me wrong, it isn't like i dive into cake or a jar of cookies but I will cut off cheese, or peanut butter by the spoonfull occasionally a spoon or 3 of ice cream at worst but these things add up and I never count them. yesterday was my first day post pregnancy NO POP and no chocolate.... 2 down, 3 to go. :glasses:
OH and getting to the DAMN GYM!! If I don't get there by Friday this week I might just go CRAZY!0 -
I travel a lot with my kids in hockey. I need to pack lunches and eat them instead of eating out.0
-
Mine is weekends. I'm steadfast through the week but I love love love football and on weekends me and my friends (mainly men) all get together and there's always beer and liquor. The food I can resist, but I like to drink a cold one (or 4) with my friends and that's not cool. Soooo I'm working on learning how to nurse a beer or not drink at all so I don't get off track. I plateaud in October and I'm pretty sure that's the reason why.0

My biggest hurdle in reaching 10 bls is actually eating. Even as we speak...it is noon and I have yet to eat today. I am terrible! Old habits die hard.0
-
My biggest hurdle is work!!! Its interefering with my workout schedule. I was off on maternity leave for 7 months and getting back into the swing of things is not happening at all.. While I was off I worked out each morning and walked/ran at nights. Now I have no energy to do anything.. I'm up early to leave for work, and once I'm home, it's non stop action with the kids... Hopefully I can get it together, and soon!0

My biggest hurdle in reaching 10 lb's is not exercising and eating too many sweets. I am a junk food junkie. I don't like vegetables or fruit but do love my chocolate. I have a darn treadmill right in my house and I need to get on that daily and just walk.0
-
My biggest hurdle is the instant pleasure that eating gives me. Yes I know that I will regret that cookie or piece of candy later, but for a flitting second that I am consuming the sweet, it tastes so good! I will always love sweets. So I just need to find healthier food for the instant bliss, and/or need to find other things that make me feel good that I won't regret.0

My biggest hurdles in losing 10lbs is time management... meaning finding the time to get in more exercise during the day. Also, snacking, sometimes not even realizing that I am snacking. I'm trying to find better things to snack on & drinking more water.0

I have a couple.
1. Family Vacation for our family happens in November. and unfortunately family vacation also means vacation from any kind of diet.
2. I have the AWEFUL habbit of snacking while watching TV or movies. Watching TV and movies is what I do to relax in the evenings in my 48 hour work weeks. Anything from popcorn, to sun flower seeds, to (recently with halloween) Candy, to some nights even a full second dinner! Usually when I think about it I KNOW that I'm not hungry, but it's such an addiction, that If I don't I get anxious, and restless... This HAS to stop! ... but like any addiction, It's just not that easy.
However, I have a wedding coming up next year, and with 90 lbs to loose to be at a healthy weight (according to Doc.) I am determined.
Good luck to everyone! 0 -
Join the club! I know all the things I have to do to loose the weight, just need to be more consistant and have a little support!0

My biggest problem is I love food lol and I hate excercise ugg0

ME TOO! I have eliminated the eating out with careful planning, but I go right from work to feeding them at grandpas house (we live out of town) then spend 2 hours running from the hockey arena to the basketball court.... when we get home (never before 8), they are hungry again! So I usually make them oatmeal or cream of wheat -- somehow I end up wanting to eat twice also! Then to do all the "at home mom stuff" , ,, ,puts my workouts to 10:00 if I am lucky.0 -

These are my weight loss problems exactly. Making it through the evening without noshing is often my biggest weight loss success of the day! Good luck to you 0 -

I agree. The cold weather has especially bothered me this week. I bought some new sweats that will hopefully keep me warmer than my shorts and t-shirts, but it will be a struggle.
I think this group will really help me stay committed throughout the month!0 -
Evenings.... and the weekends.0
