    Good morning. I'm excited to participate in this challenge! I have always been a fit individual, but my downfall is food and lately sugar. Time to jump off that bandwagon and I hope this helps.

    I have been working on myself inside and out for 6 weeks now. Change is tough, especially at the 8 to 12 week period so you guys are just in time with this challenge. Let’s go!

    Hello, new and returning Gutbusters!

    I'm Les, 39, a mom of 2, a wife of 1, and currently wearing the Gutbuster captain's hat. What's a captain? Well, I'll remind you to post your weekly weigh-ins, and I'll do my best to drum up some conversation and enthusiasm, but make no mistake -- I'm still in the trenches with you, working on losing weight, getting more fit, feeding my good habits, and trying to replace the bad ones.

    I joined this group in May. I was 212.2 at my Gutbuster starting weight on April 23 (that was already down about 3 from where I started). Here's my progress at the end of each round of Gutbusters:
    1. May Week 4 - 203.2
    2. June Week 5 - 191.8
    3. July Week 4 - 183.5
    4. August Week 5 - 174.5
    5. September Week 4 - 168
    6. October Week 5 - 165.5

    October, man.... Well, let's just say I'm happy to welcome November -- and all of you! Come in and stay a while! :smile:
    Your losses have been fab! I look forward to November too and staying focused !

    Happy November, everyone! Right now, it's a little quiet here because all the returning Gutbusters are still finishing up the October challenge.

    On Sunday, we'll begin posting the weigh-ins for November. This week is a little like being a newborn: you get started with Gutbusters and have this whole week to work on your weight loss goals, and then beginning this coming Sunday, you'll start posting your Week 1 weigh ins (just like it takes a whole year of living before you get to celebrate your first birthday).

    In the meantime, I encourage you to post daily, even if it's just to report a "mini-accountability challenge", like this:

    Date
    Exercise?: (did you get 20+ minutes of activity, whatever "activity" means for you?)
    Calories?: (did you stay within your calorie target?)
    Tracked?: (did you track your calories?)

    The most important person to be honest with is yourself. (Ugh, wait to see what I have to post next....)

    Exercise: Yes
    Calories: No
    Tracked: No

    Had an emotionally difficult phone call yesterday. It didn't cause me to overeat -- Halloween did that -- but man, yesterday was a big bummer for a number of different reasons.

    I did get in a good workout yesterday. I've really made a lot of progress on push-ups and can almost do a "real push-up" entirely -- I'm maybe about 30 degrees from getting my elbows to a right angle. Also, I did jump squats with 10 lb dumbbells, so I'm feeling sore but strong.

    Exercise?: I am pretty consistent with the gym but I have been in overdrive mode with going twice a day at least three times a week. I love exercising, my issue is the nutrition part of it!
    Calories?: I have been within my calorie count (1380) every day since I started tracking, which is about six days. Nothing stunning. My goal is to lose at least a solid 3-5 pounds this month. Hopefully more. My eventual goal weight is 140, my weight last Sunday was 159. I weigh in on Sundays. I am keeping a promise to myself to stay off the scale except first thing Sunday morning.
    Tracked?: yes. I also use the mywater app to track my water intake.
