I am pretty sure there is a November group starting. I just got back from a 10 mile run in the rain, it was awesome! My back is a little sore and it feels like I pinched something but I think a little ice and rest will do the trick. I hope everyone is having a great weekend. I have an appointment with a nutritionist in a few hours!0

Aly- You are a machine, lady! I just got in from 9.2kms and that was a struggle! I can't even imagine running 10 miles... Not ever! haha Good luck with the nutritionist and make sure you rest up that back :S Don't want you on the DL.I am pretty sure there is a November group starting. I just got back from a 10 mile run in the rain, it was awesome! My back is a little sore and it feels like I pinched something but I think a little ice and rest will do the trick. I hope everyone is having a great weekend. I have an appointment with a nutritionist in a few hours!
As for me - really, really proud of my 9+ km run today. I KNOW I can finish my 10k on Saturday now. The best part was running the last 0.75 miles just faster than 6mph. I love that I can dig deep and pull it out for the last mile or so. Such a rewarding feeling :happy:
Have a great weekend everyone! Weigh-in tomorrow - hoping all my hard-work is going to show on the scales. I'm definitely notice a difference in how I look and feel. Maybe not lighter but definitely fitter and slightly more toned. Yay! :drinker:

Haven't checked in for a while now. My October goal was 30-45 minutes of cardio and I was doing that every day until last week - I got sick and that turned into bronchitis and I am on Day 4 of antibiotics and STILL not feeling much better. The doctor told me not to work out until I recover so I haven't been doing any exercise all week but have stayed within my calorie goals and still lost weight. Hopefully the antibiotics will kick in soon because I really MISS my daily workout.0

OMG I haven't checked in all weekend... and reading all your posts are amazing inspiration to get back on track! Well done everyone!!!!
I've had a pretty bad weekend food wise. On Saturday me and my best friend drove down to London to stay in a swanky hotel for her birthday and we got slightly pissed on champagne and wine (baaaaad calories) and then ordered some cheesy chicken nachos!!! They were delicious but definitely not worth how ever many calories they were hiding in their yumminess! Then the next morning we hopped on the tube and went across London to this fashion event that we had tickets for. I'm in love with America's Next Top Model and it was a Britain's Next Top Model event with clothes and beauty stalls and all sorts of free goodies and we got to watch the most amazing catwalk! I wasn't too bad that day although I didn't log anything and I probably did go over!
But I'm not gonna let a weekend of fun ruin my new healthy lifestyle!!! I'm back to logging and working out today and even though I am going to Belfast for the weekend with my boyfriend this weekend, I know that it doesn't have to be an indulgent trip! I can still eat healthily!
And I'm still hoping for a loss at this weeks weigh in....have quite a few days to work off some of those calories with a good bout of cardio every day=]
This thread is the reason that I am not down heartened by this weekends food fest! I know that with all of your help I can get back on track and continue to lose weight steadily and healthily.
Love you guys!!!0 -

Congratulations everyone on doing so well!!
And, a very big thank you to all of you for keeping so motivated. I've never been this motivated about my weight loss and it's never happened at such a good pace...averaging a loss of 1.5lbs/week...i'm so happy!! This week i've lost 2lbs....yay yay yay yay yay!!!!
2 more to go to meet this month's goal....it seemed impossible at the beginning of the month but now definitely seems doable.
Good luck everyone!!0 -
So I went to a nutritionist and I have a few diet changes to make, as in..... eating broccoli for breakfast? yep that is true very strange but I think I can deal. I have to cut out all breads and pasta for a little while so my body can get back to normal. I am not supposed to count calories since she doesn't want me to worry about that. I will however come and check in with everyone. So glad everyone is doing good! My back is seriously hurting so I got up early to ice it. Now it is time for my veggie breakfast haha.0

good morning everyone (or evening depending where you live)!
i am still coming off a high of losing 1.8lbs last week after a small plateau for 2 weeks. i'm hoping to get 2 more lbs off this week to end the month strong, but i am also so proud of how far i've come. 19.4lbs gone in less than 3 months! it might as well be 20lbs in my eyes. i have NEVER lost this much weight and i am so happy. i've got quite a bit to go, but i am not discouraged because i KNOW i can do this. it's all a mind battle and i'm winning. i'm looking forward to measuring myself at the end of the month to see how many inches i've lost.
i can't wait to see everyone's results this month! we've all done so great! even if you've slipped up, admitting it & getting back on the health train is a success in itself! go us!!
have we decided on a name for the november challenge?
have a great week!!0 -
Everyone is doing amazing!! :happy: I am looking forward to the November challenge so that I can get a full month of inspiration and motivation in.
My weekend was pretty good but I tend to not be as structured during the weekends because I am eating with the family more often. Went to a wedding with my boyfriend on Friday night and I think I worked off the small slice of cake with the dancing that I did. The rest of the weekend actually went pretty well after I logged it all this morning. Turns out, I was under calories both days. I am hoping that there will be enough room in the kids club at the gym tomorrow night so that I can do my kickboxing and hula classes that I love so much. I was so excited to go last week but when we got there, they already had too many kids in the kids club so I couldn't leave my daughter. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. And tomorrow is my official weigh-in day so hopefully it works in my favor.
Happy Losing all!!0 -
To lose another 4 pounds before the end of the month.0

Name for the Nov Challenge... Kicking *kitten* in our Twenties, I thought? hahaha Either way it's going to be fine. Something wrt healthy living would be fine with me as well.
Short update for now (I know, I always write way too much!) -- I missed my weigh-in this morning. Ended up spending the night out of town at my boyfriends place in order to stop in at a running store out of town to pick up my brand new fuel belt for Saturday's 10k race (http://www.runningfree.com/detail.aspx?ID=15081). Seems silly but the store is only open 10-6 and it's about 45 mins from my place so it just made sense. I didn't want to weigh in when I got home after breakfast + coffee since I knew it wouldn't be accurate and would probably disappoint me, so I'm going to weigh-in tomorrow morning. As for my Oct 31st weigh-in, I will likely wait until Mon Nov 1st for the official since a) I usually weigh-in on Mondays and b) I have to work Sat night after my 10k race and I'm going to be devouring loads of food. Will need a good 24hours to recoup :happy:
That's about it for me. I definitely feel healthier, fitter and thinner this week. I'm also pumped for more of my push-up challenge! Good luck on your last week in Oct, everyone! I am loving this thread :bigsmile:
