I want to log all my food and stay under calories every day in November. I want to lose at least 6 pounds and would be very happy if I can get my body fat percentage below 17%. I plan on increasing my high intensity cardio, which I have kind of been slacking on in favor of playing golf .

    I'm making it a point to stay under my calories and work out 6 days a week. For Thanksgiving I'm not going to deprive myself a dessert or anything, but I will save calories so that I can have it! If I go over my sugar that one day, so be it. But I have no reason to binge. It's not worth it.

    I just made a blog yesterday about my goals for November

    1) Put my pic up...doesn't seem like much but for me..its HUGE! I am soo self concious, I have a facebook with tons of pic, NONE of me! This is a start for me...
    2) Take my beginning measurements and before pics!
    3) No soda, juice, sugary drinks of any kind
    4) Get 8 glasses of water in a day - minimum
    5) No simple carbs, complex carbs only!
    6) Start Power 90 and complete the entire month faithfully
    7) Eat at least one meatless dinner a week
    8) Try out at least one new healthy recipe a week
    9) Make at least two healthy dishes for my family Thanksgiving get together
    10) Never give up!!!

    I plan on burning at least 3000 calories every week, and keeping my drinking confined to weekends. No more happy hours for me!

    Most important one of all!

    walk
  • im going to do the 30 day shred along with my regular workouts :) and drink lots of water at least my 8 glasses a day!
  • It may be a little ambitious, but I'd like to lose another ten pounds in November. If I could start December only five pounds from my (current) goal, I'd be a happy camper.

    I just started really trying to lose weight so my goals may not be as intense as everyone else but oh well :)

    My goals for November are
    1. keep doing what I'm doing (I have always had a problem with not following through after the first few weeks)
    2. Increase my morning jog to 2 miles instead of 1
    3. Increase my morning sit ups and push ups to 50 each (currently at 21 push ups and 18 sit ups)
    4. Lose 15 LBS (Really gonna stretch here but I wanna set a high goal for weight lose)

    I was thinking today I should try to go to the gym every day this month, and see if it makes a significant difference in my progress. It's a big challenge though....and I'm awesome at breaking promises to myself.

    what to do?
  • My plans:
    6-8 lb loss in November
    Run at least 12 miles throughout the month
    Be able to do 15 push ups in a row (I have virtually zero upper body strength)
    fit into my old pair of jeans by the end of the month
    :D

  • I'm shooting for no gain (pregnant), under on sodium and calories everyday (except my already planned cheat day-Thanksgiving), and at least 12 glasses of water a day. Also, gym 6 times a week minimum. :)

    One of my initial goals was to be under 300# by Thanksgiving. That's only 10 more pounds, so I think I need to readjust that figure and push it a little. New goal is 295# by Thanksgiving.

    To get to atleast 171 lb by the end of the month not much of a goal but its a reachable one for me ,
    its my o/h birthday and we have a big family night out and i have not seen the family since our holidays in august (my weight at this holiday time was 191 lb) so it will be interesting to see if anyone notices i have lost weight
    so far todate i have lost 15 lb, by the celebration it could be at least 19 lb, i bet no-one notices though . (not that i'm at all bothered) .....we'll see aye
