Okay all! It's a new month! Time for a new challenge.
This month I'm going to challenge myself to not only break 200, but to exercise at least three days per week. Given the upcoming food extravaganza (at least in the States) that are the months November and December this could get interesting.
How are you going to challenge yourself this month?

We have a triple whammy Thanksgiving weekend in the forms of Thanksgiving day, a "New Family Dinner" on the Friday, and a swanky Engagement Party(cocktail party) on the Saturday. Even shooting for no cheats until Thanksgiving day will be unlikely, my folks are coming to stay for the Sunday before to the Sunday after Thanksgiving for all the family events, but I'll be as good as I can manage it.
I want to hop back on my stationary bike every other day or more. I used to put in 45 minutes, but it's been a while, we'll see what I can do.0 -
I have a personal challenge to lose 8lbs in the next 14 days - started Induction today.

Well, I seem to always not meet my monthly goals but if I don't set them I don't have anything to strive for. I would like to get down 11 pounds by November 25th. Its when I have a Dr appt and I would like to be atleast the same weight I was at last year's appointment. I have done horrible in eating (lots of calories and carbs) these past few days so I know some of what I need to lose is water weight and I should be capable of losing by that date.
My work has also started offering two fitness classes one day a week during the lunch hour for free. Hopefully this helps me get motivated to work out more and add in a couple more workouts during the week in addition to the class.
Even though last month I did good on not "cheating", it all unraveled this past week or so. Depending on where Im at on Thanksgiving, I may not cheat. I will decide the day before because if I decide to wait the day of, I know I'll be more apt to give into temptations. Pumpkin pie is my main issue.0 -
oh my gosh its so good to be back0

Hi Tim! MelRC I can sympathize with you completely on not attaining my goals for the last 3 months, but you are absolutely right on setting them to have something to strive for. So I didn't make my October goal of 175 (missed it by 3.4 lbs). I wish I could lose 1 lb a week, but that hasn't been happening. But...my weight loss continues if slowly and I am happy with that, so I want to be at 174 by the end of November.0

Something to keep in mind, even if you don't lose pounds on the scale, it doesn't mean you're not losing the fat anyway. My weight has stalled, some of it my fault, some of it plateau, but I'm fitting in to the size 12 jeans better and better all the time. Please don't just define yourself just on what the scale says, look for other wins in this challenge like the fit of your clothes, how you feel first thing in the morning or throughout the day, no longer having that after-lunch nap craving etc.
