Hello, was wondering if anyone wanted to start a challenge with me for the month of November. I know i could use all the support i can get, and im sure some others of you could use some too! So what do you say..........

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 started!!!!!!!!

    Name: Amanda
    Start weight: 215.8lbs this morning (10/31)
    Aim for November: Well, I'm pregnant, so I don't want to lose, just maintain (which is what my calories are set to) mostly. As that is, I've been steadily losing since I started watching the type of food I eat, so I'll say 210lbs is my goal, a 6lb loss.
    What you are going to do to get there: Right now I'm eating under my calories, drinking 12-16 glasses/day water, and watching my sodium. For exercise, I'm doing the C25K, 200 Sit Ups, and 100 Push Ups programs, plus going to the gym daily.
    Your current motivation: Not wanting to gain any extra during pregnancy so I don't have a bunch extra to lose lol.



    I'd love to join. I can weight in any day as I weight myself daily.

    Add me add me!!!
    I am on here all the time and I think this group would be excellent for me!!! I am very accountable too.

    Name: Patti
    Start weight: 210
    Aim for November: 15 lbs I am more focused on body fat percentage though so I may not lose a lot because I am trying to build lean muscle.
    keep being active everyday and to try new excercises and not not be discouraged by not doing them correctly the first time.
    I am going to go to the Y every weekday ( been doing that already) but this time not stick with the classes that are in my comfort zone.
    My motivation is really myself. I love seeing the positive changes I have made last few months and it makes me want to continue and keep getting better and better

    I don't think so. We'd love to have you.

    So I went back to the gym today for the first time in forever! I wanted to take it slow so I just walked for 10 minutes and ran for 20 minutes. I'm also doing the 100 push-up challenge so I did my initial test today.

    Having turkey spaghetti for dinner! Mmmmm.

    Hey everyone!

    So my starting weight was 165. I weighed in today at 164.8... not much different but at least its a loss!

    November goal is 160.
    And another one of my November goals is to not eat any candy or drink soda. A bunch of coworkers brought in Halloween candy today but I resisted :) Now if I can just do that for the rest of the month!

    how did everyone do today?
    what was one hard thing that you had to get through today?
    what was something you accomplished?



    my day went well, i had to get through the baby shower that i held for a coworker we ate at GreenMill but i figured out ahead of time what I could and couldnt eat it was hard because i sure wanted something different but after seeing 7lb gone this morning why do that to myself! something that i accomplished today went on 2 walks with a coworker up and down a lot of stairs (man i hate stairs)
