    Hello Ladies!

    I agree with Lu, that we can offically start on November 1st and go from there, but keep eating right and exercising of course!

    I can make a spreadsheet with names, sw, cw, goals and total loss if everyone would like...just let me know! I'm excited to start and get to know each of you a little bit better throughout the month! Feel free to "friend" me if you'd like :)

    *Percypig* what is your real first name?

    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!

    am so excited to start this tomorrow!!
    it was my 21st yesterday so i tried to do well but went over slightly on my calories but it could have been a whole lot worse! I stuck to the diet lemonades all night and didnt nibble on the snacks - apart from a tiny bit of wholegrain pasta :)
    will weigh myself in tomorrow morning before leaving my parents house to go back home - and when ive bought my wii i will definately be on the right tracks :)

    good luck to everyone!!!!

    Should we post our Monday weigh ins (including tomorrow) on here, or send it to Lu123?

    I am almost scared to weigh in tomarrow, I ate horrible this weekend-Halloween and all.

    But, November 1st! woo hoo! Brand new day and a new goal.

    The only day I plan on not watching my intake is my birthday-my family will be coming over for pork tacos.

    Otherwise-it's on!

    I'm still at 127 - thanks goodness! My eating over the weekend was horrible!

    So, it's a new month now - woo hoo!

    I'm already on track for my November goals - I got up this morning and started C25k, and did an extra 6 minute to reach 2.5 miles for the day. Now, I just need to keep this up!

    I am also adding to my November goals to stay on track for a walk from Nazareth to Bethlehem. . .I saw this on another post on MFP and have rounded up some co-workers, family members and friends to do this with me. From November 1 to December 25 we are walking/running/biking the distance from Nazareth to Bethlehem, 157km or ~97.56 miles. If any of you would like to join me, just let me know. I'm having everyone report their miles to me once a week.

    Best of luck to everyone this month!!! I'm looking forward to it!!! :flowerforyou:
