0 -
Time for me to re-energize my habits!
October 1 SW: 239
October 31 GW: 235-240
1. Gym or 10K steps 5 days per week
2. Strength training at least 2x per week
3. Log food again!
4. Cut out Caffeine/alcohol
Had my one year appointment with surgeon, and while he was supportive and pleased with my progress, he was very no-nonsense about the habits I have let slip in my post-goal "vacation". The "Vacation" was supposed to be a couple of weeks and has extended way too long.0 -
October 1 SW: 257
October 31 GW: 225
1. Get all of my protein in daily
2. Get all of my water in daily
3. Begin "normal" exercise 5x a week0 -
This month I WILL:
*Break into "Onederland".
*Be able to run for a solid 30 min @5.6 (Treadmill speed setting) without a walk-break.
*Find a lifting program that works with my less-than-stellar gym (Planet Fitness) and restart to Even Lift, Bro!
If I accomplish all 3, Ill have to make harder goals for November... Yikes!
Sub-goals will be to:
*Start eating more that veggie burgers and cheese. I used to LOVE cooking, but now there is almost no time.
*Resist peer pressure from all of my friends when it comes to cheating (beer, delicious foods). That's a hard life to completely give up, but the gains are worth the sacrifice.
*Talk to a woman, and at least attempt to set up a date. I've been in LTR status consistently since 18. Dating in late 30s is intimidating af.
*Attend support groups. The bari center offers them for free so why not?
*3 Month check-up on the 27. Hopefully the bloodwork comes back looking nice. I won't be surprised if my iron and potassium are low. I never hit my nutritional goals with them.
Wow, I think I may be encumbered.0 -
October 1: SW 227
October 31: GW 212 (wow, can I do that -- yes I can!) I'll hit Onederland by Thanksgiving!
1. Go to gym 3 x / week
2. average 11,000 steps/day
3. NO HALLOWEEN CANDY. None. Period. Absolutely no.0 -
-
1)weigh less than DH does by Halloween (that hasn't happened for 15 years, so this is a BIG One for me- 8lbs to get there as he's a tall, skinny guy)
2) no alcohol all month
3) log everything, even the not so awesome choices0 -
I plan to stick with my September goals of staying consistent with my exercise and food choices. I also plan to figure out some WLS friendly, high protein, pumpkin flavored stuff, because it's October!!!0
-
I'm deployed for the Red Cross, so I'm having a hard time meeting my macro goals. My main issue is that my protein isn't high enough and I will not add carbs. So, here are my goals...
1. Avoid the carb fest snack table right outside my office at all costs.
2. Eat 1 solid meal per day, as high-protein as possible.
3. Stop worrying that I'm not getting enough exercise, because my pedometer says otherwise.
4. Make it through this month without flinging myself off a carb cliff.0 -
Can you have some protein bars shipped in? I know they "have carbs" but they also have 1/3 of your daily required protein.0
-
Oof goals.
October 1st SW 279
October 31st GW 265
1 - Back to the gym. 3x weekly at minimum.
2 - Stick with the food plan I created.
3 - Don't transfer bad habits. I used to eat out of boredom, and I don't need to introduce a new bad habit for the same reasons.
4 - Avoid the carbs. I don't tolerate them well, I know it, my body knows it, just stop already.0 -

October Goals
SW: 212
GW: 199
I will hit ONEDERLAND by Halloween!
I will start exercising (again)
I will increase my fluids and protein
I will work towards jogging instead of just walking because I haven't ran in almost 10 years!0 -
I was talking to my husband last night about this. Two months post op I feel like I'm being a good little camper, but there's always room for improvement. So here is what I've come up with:
◇ get 40-50 grams of protein daily (this is the # from my doctor)
◇ eat at least one raw fruit and one raw vegetable serving daily
◇ eat cleaner
◇ avoid white flour
◇ cook foods that will help my husband lose weight (his request)0 -
I like this. It will force me to think of the small changes I need to put into my life one by one to really succeed.
October goals:
Add resistance training to my walking and elliptical.
Vary my diet a little, and add vegetables back in.
Enter Onederland.0 -
October goals:
1.exercise 4x per week. Always a huge struggle!
2. Drink more. At about 46oz now. Add another 16.
3. Eat some sort of veggies every day0 -
Seeing some great goals here! Let's achieve some of these goals during this first full week of October! We got this!!0
-
I know I'm late, but I just started getting back on track this week.
I'm 3.5 years post op, I originally went from 290 to 160 (my goal weight). I'm up 50 lbs back to 210. My goals for the next 3 weeks are as follows:
No more snacking on office snacks
At least 8 glasses of water a day
At least 60 g of protein a day
No Halloween treats
Only drink on occasions (currently drinking almost daily)
With these in place, I'm aiming to get down 5.2 lbs to be 205 by Halloween

I just joined this group today so I am just seeing this!
My Oct goals are:
~lose 5 lbs by end of month. CW 275.4 End of Month GW 270.4 Lost (Total lost so far 85lbs.. sleeved 3-11-15)
I WILL acheive this by:
~logging food
~drinking 64 oz of water a day
~3 days of weights / 3 days of cardio each week
all three of these are things I am currently not doing.
I started logging food a few days ago, but not whole day so tracking will keep in on task.
I do drink water, but I don't know how much so tracking will be great.
I am currently doing weights 3 times a week but not cardio.

I've hit two of my three so far. Weight 199.0, entered Onederland! Yeah! Have added some veggies to every meal. Have not started resistance training yet with bands, anyone have a good resource for the basics?0
-
Get through this liquid diet as I prepare for surgery on 10-28. I set a goal of 50 lbs. by surgery date, but Im not sure I'll make it. 11.4 lbs to go.0
-
I know I'm late to the party, I've been a little busy...sorry!
1) Get back to yoga one time a week
2) Try and hit my carb mac four out of seven days a week (I really struggle with this and it stalls my weight loss)
3) Learn one new exercise every week (this one is going to carry over into next month too since I'm so late)
Wahooooo...getting it!0 -
Damn, I love crushing goals!
3.0 miles of nonstop running on my goal speed and incline. DONE!
Still working on finding a lift program.
3 pounds away from Onederland!
Been too busy to work on sub goals0 -
Where have I been! LOL Just saw this. So here it goes
1. Try not to stress while waiting for my final insurance approval and surgery date(its been frustrating).
2. Stay on track with exercise everyday.
3. Keep my protein high and my carbs low.
4. Play outside more!
5. Again stop stressing about insurance! Errrrrrrrrrr!!0 -
Joining...
1. Subway a la carte (no chips & soda)
2. Long walks at least once a week0 -
Update - is it really the 3rd week of October?!!
October 1st SW 175
October 31st GW 165
My weight is hovering at173 but can feel my body continuing to change. I've been incorporating more and more jogging into my power walks. Feeling really good and looking forward to my gym opening back up on the 29th. I guess Nov will be my the launch into my 'strength training'. I need to work on eliminating carbs again. How do those things creep back into my life?!!
