Goals for me:
Drink my 8 glasses of water
IF for at least 14 hours and preferably 18 daily
Stay at or below my 25g net carb goal
Make sure my protein hits approx 70g BUT not much more
Get at least one day a week of non-work related exercise
By doing the above I am hoping to:
Lose the last 7 stupid pounds OR at least lose enough inches to get back into my slimmest clothes. I took my measurements (w, h, l thigh, r thigh) today before brunch and will be tracking that every week. CW 139.4
I have surgery on my ankle mid-month, so that may set me back a bit in the exercise category and may keep inflammation weight on me while I heal. We'll see....2 -
Well since I failed last month I'll give this one a go. Again. Lol.
So here are my daily goals -
1. Exercise daily
2. Don't obsess over calories,
3. But don't stuff myself silly...
3. Eat healthy, nutrient-dense meals - and those veggies!
4. Drink enough fluids
5. Weekly goal - Meal prep for the week
6. Stay away from the sugary stuff!
I'm taking a more Paleo approach currently because I do a lot better in the gym with the extra carbs from fruit and such.
On the other hand, my blood sugar tends to do summersaults. But I'm taking a supplement for that. Not permanently, but as a crutch because I'm trying to lose 2lb this month.
I can't be sure if it's the extra carbs and if it's because I'm having energy problems and my body is just wanting quick energy. Oh well. That's my biggest challenge. Controlling the cravings and sticking to my goals. We'll see if I do better this month. 1 -
Current weight 206+. Be at least 189.9 by end of November.
Fit in some of the clothes I haven't worn in years.
Improve cholesterol and sugar levels.
Sleep before midnight on most nights, never after 2am.
Move everyday. Walk at least half an hour and fitdesk bike at least one hour everyday when I'm working at home.
Take vitamins and supplements.
Drink water.1 -
As I have not been strict low carb lately I will lose the first 5lbs of water in the first 3 days. So I am setting a goal of 10lbs total loss for the month. 10000 steps/day, net carbs under 20gm. I may raise up to 50gm carbs in December if this month goes well at getting back on track.
Start weight: 170lbs1 -
When tempted with my favourite foods (cake, chocolates) I try to think about the old English phrase "A minute on the lips, a lifetime on the hips" , i
That kind of works for me when tempted!1 -
Okay-I'm in!
Exercise at least 3 x/week
Stay under my carb limit of 15g
Drink at least 8 glasses water
Lose 5 pounds this month
Starting weight: 139(yesterday)1 -
I'm lucky in that (1) most holiday meals, especially the glutinous mess that is the typical Thanksgiving dinner, never particularly appealed to me even in my pre-LC days; and (2) last year, after six months of strict LC, I suffered for 24 hours after merely nibbling on some super-rich brownie batter; lesson learned. I sat on our front porch for four hours yesterday evening in my witch's costume handing out chocolate treats without a single urge to sample. Even the smell was off-putting. Kinda like Bacardi rum, a substance which has not touched these lips since that fraternity party 50 years ago.
My goals are to:
--casually log food, actually tabulating carbs/protein if I get three pounds over goal. This has worked for the past year.
-- commit to three days a week of cardio, three days of resistance. This is a tough one.
--worry about trivial issues less. This is the toughest one of all. Someone other than myself appears to be in charge of my brain. Whoever she is, she can be a real nut job.2 -

That is a harder balance than it sounds like, isn't it.
I've not logged since Friday... I think I did ok until I hit the nuts... Sigh...the nuts...will I never learn?2 -
November Goals:
1. Stay under 20g carbs per day
2. Eat only when hungry
3. Do Yoga at least 3 times per week
4. Lose 5 pounds
I'm glad to have a challenge to keep me on track!2 -
Okay. I'm going to make this one easy for me. I'd love to see myself in the 180'S with no binges for November, and Thanksgiving is not an excuse to do so. Happy November!

November 1 check-in -> starting the month at 219 (lost 4 lbs in October!) and have already done 2 of my 5 workouts this week.
The really good news is that we had enough sugar in the house yesterday to put an elephant into a sugar coma - candy apples, 3 kinds of homemade cookies, cup cakes and Halloween candy - and I didn't eat a single bit of it! I did eat too much last night but it was mainly brisquit, cheese and stuffed jalapenos.3 -
I definitely can use this challenge!
My November goals (on Atkins):
♥ Maintaining under 30g net carbs
♥ Avoiding sugar/fruit
♥ Drinking at least 48oz water daily (working my way to 64oz)
♥ Meditating for at least 15 mins per day (doing this, but need to be consistent)
♥ Moving my body (moderate exercise) a few times per week
SW: 191.8
