I did this almost 10 years ago and lost 50 pounds in less than a year. It took me ten years to gain it back. So, I logged back in and here I am. I know I can do it again, and just need to work harder at maintaining once I'm at my GW.

October was a good month for me, dropped under 200lb! Now to continue that through autumn - the days are getting colder and darker and I've already started thinking 'one bar of chocolate/more bottle of wine/week without working out won't hurt'. Need to get myself out of that mentality, because I don't want to see the weight creeping back on.

Goals
- more exercise. Bike, walk, yoga - whatever as long as it gets me off the sofa

Here's to November!

FH and I are recommitting and getting down to business this week...and we want to continue this new month.

GW1: 200

There is less than a year until our wedding. We just got engaged at the end of September and are planning a mid-October wedding in 2020.

November Goals:
Stick with our current food plans to stay within our daily calorie goals.
Start walking on the treadmill at least 3 times a week.
Stick to making nightly plans for cleaning, to keep the apartment clean. (not truly a weight loss goal, but more of a mental health one, because I feel out of control and stressed when it gets cluttered, plus it will keep me moving and not just sitting on the couch after work!)

Here's to a Happy and Healthy November!!!!

I gained 68lbs since January yikes!!! Last year I was down to 293 the smallest weight in years. I have to take drastic measures to get back down. If I lose 5-10 pounds that would be a great start. I’d love to be 20lbs smaller by December. Nothing fits! Docs recommended surgery ugh. Exercise 3-5 times a week cardio and strength no excuses. Making sure I have my water for the day before I grab any other drink. Glad I came across this group happy for the success I’ve read.

Just started with this app less then a week ago. I’ve had to deal with accidents, injuries and health issues for over a decade and I’m done making excuses. It’s time I take control of my own body and mind. My goal this month is to change my mindset every time I am getting down on myself to think of something positive instead. To change my “wanting” to lose weight to a “must”. So far it’s helping me stay motivated and not miss the goods I used to eat that aren’t good. If anyone had tips I’d love to hear them.

Height: 5'4"
SW: 248lbs
CW: 206lbs
GW: 170lbs

Just call me Yo Yo. I've lost weight and I've gained weight. My weight is connected to my emotions. When I'm sad, I eat. When I'm happy, I eat. Trying to find a healthy balance

November Goals:

* Drink more water
* Exercise at least 3x a week for a least 30mins
* Be happier
* Stick to it!
* Stop letting my emotions paralyze me from doing things and going places
* Figure out my Love language
* Less television (stop eating in front of television)
* ONE DAY AT A TIME
* Small achievable goals (CELEBRATE MY SUCCESS RESPONSIBLY AND HEALTHY)

- do a YouTube workout video x 2 a week
- Log everything

*Move more in the day--I have a desk job so sitting is my norm
*Be kind to myself when I do mess up and just remember to get back on track and focus

Good luck to everyone!

Good morning everyone!

Well, October was not good to me. However, I have learned a lot about what triggers me to eat badly. So I am going to use this as my success in October! I only lost a pound but it is one pound closer to my goal!

This time of year is so difficult and I keep telling myself it is ok to allow myself some freedoms or I won’t stick with the plan and totally get off track. But I also have realized I can’t partake in certain things.

We had a pot luck at work yesterday. I mentally prepared and set out to partake but be mindful of portions etc. I brought some things I could eat as to not go completely overboard. But I totally over ate to the point of being sick. I can’t do it. I get a taste of anything outside of my plan, I get out of control. It’s a trigger. How do I overcome this? When everyone around me is shoveling it in, but they don’t have weight problems? They all ate the same amount of food if not more and none of them have to worry about it. It’s so frustrating. I know it was just one day and I can get right back on track today, I am just venting.

Again, I have so much trouble controlling myself when I am eating something other than my prepped food. Eating out is difficult. Even when I make good choices, the calories add up and it also triggers me to choose badly later that day because eating out doesn’t leave me many calories. Even when I plan for it…I have to deprive myself of eating prior to be able to fit the calories in from eating out and that just makes me eat more because I am hungry. I get that taste and I want more. I have explored so many different recipes to make my food prep and eating exciting. And I do enjoy the food I make so I don’t necessarily feel deprived. I just can’t eat anything else, ever, and that makes me sad.

I went trick or treating with my son and we met at a friend’s house that had pizza for everyone. I ate so much at the pot luck, no way I would eat pizza right? I kept saying no and she kept offering. I don’t even like Domino’s pizza, but guess who had a piece? Uggggghh.

I don’t know the solution, I really don’t. I will never reach my goal if I don’t figure it out though. One of my goals is to fit the exercise in and that will give me more calories I can chose to eat on these days if I want to. That’s a start. But I also have to figure out the mental overeating part.

The good news is I am going to try and make a November to remember! It’s time to stop feeling this way and get my head straight.

My goals for November are as follows:
1. Make time to exercise –this is big for me. I joined a gym at the beginning of October and told myself I wasn’t going to pay for this unless I went. October was a bust; everything came first instead of the gym. My job, my son, my laziness. November WILL be different.

2. Resist my triggers – I have got to figure out a way to do this during the holidays. I food prep, snack prep…I do not have any of my trigger foods at home accept a few that my son likes so they are there but not in quantity. I have to figure out mentally how to resist overeating when I am put in a situation that I can’t eat what I prepped.

3. Water consumption – this is always a goal for me as I have to stay on top of it. If I don’t make is a conscience goal, I don’t drink enough.

I would like to also lose 5 pounds this month. Get under the 250’s.

I apologize if my post is long…but getting it out makes me feel better! Here’s to reaching our November goals!!

Sigh. I forgot about NaNoWriMo when I posted my goals.

How do I be strict with my snacking and gym AND write? Plus I'm gone 4 days for a funeral next week.

I'm at 213.8 as of this morning and I'm feeling a little less than optimistic about things. All I can do is my best.
