Love your message about staying positive, and being supportive for others. I have found by encouraging others, it also helps myself.0 -
J4T Monday
1. Put dinner in crock pot - didn't have time, but I got home in time to cook a good dinner, so it's ok.
2. Take breakfast lunch and snack with me to work
3. Go to gym did weights
4. Stick to calorie goals one meal at a time
I exceeded November goal to walk and/or jog at least 30 miles each week. I actually did an average of just under 5 miles per day!
For December I am going to lift weights 3 times per week and do cardio 3 times per week. I am also going to try harder than ever to accurately weigh and measure everything I eat, whenever possible.
J4T Tuesday
1. Make breakfast, lunch and snack to take with me to work
2. Cardio at gym
3. Grocery shopping and pick up prescriptions.

JFT, 11/30
1. Stay within calorie limit.
2. Walk the dogs
3. Burn Circuit 1 + >11k steps
4. No alcohol! It's back on the list.
Weighed in this morning and down 7 pounds for November (I only weigh in once a month). I'm only at 0.5 pound/week so I think it was because of that mouth thing and basically not eating for a week. Silver lining.

It is SO MUCH FUN to see all of the goals everyone sets and all the successes! It is very helpful to me to know that we can do this TOGETHER!
I am so inspired when I see that someone did not make a goal but then they keep on trying and trying and trying.
Remember you only fail if you quit! So keep chipping away at your goals one tiny piece at a time.
I am very excited for my goals the month of December. I am coming up on my 1 year anniversary of the day I started my really serious weight loss. I am hoping to weigh 170 on January 7, 2016. That will be 100 pounds lost in 1 year!
I may not quite make that goal on time, but I don't really care because the REAL VICTORY is that I never dreamed that I would be exercising regularly, running 5Ks, going to a gym, lifting weights, going to Zumba and Aqua-fit classes, and learning how to eat well and take great care of myself over the past year!
This is all completely new for me and I did it by focusing on it one day at a time. Many days it's just 1 meal at a time!
When I started, the pounds were everything, but I have learned that taking care of ME is the most important thing I can do for myself and my family.
So, welcome to everyone who is just getting started and congratulations to all you who had a successesfull month of November.
LET'S FINISH 2015 WITH A HEATHY DOSE OF POSITIVE SPIRIT AND GO INTO 2016 DOING A VICTORY DANCE!!!!0
