So who wants to lose/gain/maintain in November? All of us right!
Want a bit of motivational support and accountability? Cos I know it helps me!
So yeah, come join me in making November a successful month :happy:
I'm going to limit the size of the group to 15 people because I find it is more supportive and motivational in a smaller group. First come first served.
Do a weekly weigh in on a Monday if that's good with everyone.
Fill out the form below and lets get cracking!

Loving this. . .it's nice for it join a support group that's not specifically focused on one thing, but the overall healthy living picture!
So, you are going to make me go back to my Monday weigh-in?!?! I changed mine to Wednesday in the middle of October because my sodium intake on the weekends just kills me - but I will go back to Mondays for the group.
Name: Sally
Start weight: Oct 27 - 127
Aim for November: To get to ~122 pounds (I'm shooting for 120 by New Year's)
What you are going to do to get there: Currently I'm slacking big time! So, in November I plan to do the 30 Day Shred workouts 3 days a week and start the C25K program for another 3 days a week. I have a 6 1/2 month old daughter, so getting any exercise in will be an accomplishment! I also plan to stick to my calories, at least all of November except during the 24th through the 28th - I've decided not to deprive myself during Thanksgiving and my brother's wedding! In addition, I usually don't log my calories on the weekends, I just practice portion control. . .so, we'll see where that gets me!
Your current motivation:
1. Myself - I want to get rid of my baby belly fat.
2. Tax season is getting too close to not be at a weight to maintain.
3. My brother's wedding - PICTURES!
2. Last, but not least, my husband and daughter. I want to be the best I can be for them!0 -

I WOULD LOVE TO JOIN I can switch my weigh in to Monday. I like the fact that we are keeping the group small. Its difficult in large groups.
