November Challenge

im totally up for this!

ok so Im Hannah
starting weight: 242lbs (argh!!!)
my aim: to drop around 6-8lbs
I will do this by: being really good and going on my new wii with the fit board thingy and just getting out more
my current motivation is: watching my partner loose over 50lbs and feeling so much better for it - I want to be like that and I just want to get to that magic 14lbs

Name: Mandie
Height: 5'9''
Start weight: 189.4
Aim for November: to be at or below 184 by Thanksgiving!
What you are going to do to get there: Eat 1300 calories a day, use my wii fit at home and workout with my husband 4-5 times a week at the gym doing: 30 min elliptical/15 min biking/10 min strength training
Your current motivation: Just reaching the 180s after not seeing that weight for over a year!!!

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!

I hate snakes too ....I'm terrified by them

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

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!

Name: Jessica
Start weight: 171
Aim for November: 10 lbs
What you are going to do to get there: limit calories and do cardio 6 x a week
your current motivation:My old "sexy" outfit

woohooo, can't wait to start

I'm in for starting on November 1. My vote is to use the weigh-in Monday as our "official" start, as mine will probably be up from weekend sodium and Halloween candy intake. . .maybe weighing in Monday will help me watch it this weekend!

Happy Halloween to all! I'm looking forward to a good November with you!

So I started sending friend requests to all 14 of my soon-to-be best November Challenge buddies, but I guess you can only make a limited amount of friend requests in a 10 minute span:grumble: . . .so, add me if I don't get the rest of you added soon!

We were invited to a Halloween party on Saturday night, but haven't decided if we are going to go. . .However, I made treats for my daughter's daycare party and I can't seem to stay out of the leftovers! Nutter Butter ghosts, sugar cookies and cake pops - AHHHH! So, I'm going to have to work on my sweet tooth this weekend!
