    This is perfect. I have been maintaining for two months (unintentionally), because I go over here and there. I have only five pounds left to lose, and I'd love to actually finish the job before I maintain.

    I will hit my calorie goals each day this month, with a maintenance day on Thanksgiving.

    I will get in four workouts per week.

    Awesome!!! Welcome to the team!

    Hello great people! Day 1 wasn't so bad. Back at it! I need to complete my diary everyday this month no matter what. I like the workout 3/week. Can't wait to see where this takes me.

    Wow fabulous job
  • I had a good day. I stuck to the gluten & diet free. I was tempted at lunch with Subway brought in to office, but resisted and had the lunch I packed. Walked the dogs & did a bit of strength training. I haven't been able to make it past the first day in a long time so I feel good tonight.
  • Hi my name is arieana and I'd love to join! My goal is to stick to 1,600 calories a day, no more than 50 total carbs, and work out five times a week.
    We've got this!!

    Happy 1st day of the challenge - hope everyone is off to a good start! I am 1) not eating for 12+ hours each day, 2 ) limiting myself to one sweet a day - so I have to choose wisely - and 3) exercising for at least 20 mins. Today I did about 2 hours, but the hard part for me is just starting! I'm hoping that if I tell myself, "it's only 20 minutes" I'll get out the door before I can talk myself out of it.

    I have struggled to get back on track since vacation I couple of weeks ago. So I want to get back to my workouts. Strength 4x week, cardio 3x or more a wweek. Also i manage to stay in my calories but have failed at my protein so I want to back to keeping my protein met. 45.9 down since March. I would like to see another 50 gone before next October when we go to Disney as a family with my adult children

    All good yesterday - I had one piece of Halloween candy after lunch and one after dinner. CF workout (a tough one) and 600 deficit calories accumulated. It was an ideal day.

    Now on to day two.

    Well, my first day didn't go as well as planned. Super stressful day at work and school. I ended up eating two snack size kit kats when I got home. I tracked them though and stayed in my calories so I guess it's not technically cheating but it's not how I want to eat. Better day today!!

    Yes, I should add that I do not consider Halloween candy "cheating" if I finish the day with a deficit and I worked out hard. I consider it a success that I ate one two small pieces. :)

    I got 117 grams of protein in also, so it was a good day.

    Hi everyone! I hope it's not too late to join!

    My goals:
    Drink 8 glasses of water every day
    Meet daily calorie goal/1200 calories
    - Eat 1200-1400 on Thanksgiving and Black Friday
    Workout 3 times this week (4 times starting next week)

    I did have a pretty good start to the month. Went from 135.6 on Oct 24 to 131.8 on Oct 31. :)
    I hope to be down to 130 on my birthday (Nov 13) and 128 by the end of the month.

    I think I need to more adequately define my goals for the month:

    Workouts: at least 4 per week

    Calories: deficit of 300 or more on workout days, deficit of 200 or more on rest days, once a week (if needed) deficit of 100 on a party/tailgate day

    Water: 120 ounces per day

    My first day went pretty awesome - under calorie goal (yay!), almost hit all my macros (used to only 25% protein but hit 40%!! yay!), and generally felt awesome :)

    Well my day was awful! Buuuut!! I didn't eat any junk, the downside I didn't eat either. So tonight I'll eat a balanced meal and do better tomorrow :)

    Diary completed. Gym this morning. Feeling great!
  • 2nd day. It was pretty good. Stuck to the meal plan, walked to work and worked out a bit tonight. Feeling good that I've made it through the first two days. Feeling more motivated than previous challenges. I think I'm just sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.
