It is the month of Thanksgiving, Saint Martin, Guy Fawkes, Remembrance Sunday, All Saints, and many others. No idea why I went with Naughty - it just flows nicely with November

Thanks for setting up this one. Let's see where Naughvember will lead us.:)
169 cm / 5’5”, 37 y
HW: 76.1 kg / 167.8 lbs (26/Aug/19)
SW Nov: 71.5 kg / 157.6 lbs
GW Nov: 70.0 kg / 154.3 lbs
Overall GW: 56.5 kg / 124.5 lbs
I find it difficult to define precise goals this time around. It feels like my mind is slowly settling into a mode where I can walk away from treats more easily again, or just enjoy a bite instead of the whole thing, or just pick up a fruit or cup of tea to get past cravings. Cravings in general have been better recently. General meal choices and activity levels were already in a good place, I believe. Focus on healthy wholesome food items, regular walks, workouts, runs, cycling,... was all there before I started over again with MFP. Just on top of those things, I plainly ate too much sugary stuff and didn't pay much attention to the calorie budget.
With the cold, dark days and Christmas around the corner though, I think I’ll need to continue staying aware of what I put into my mouth, and stay mindful of doing this extra walk to make up for an extra piece of cake or candy here and there.
So I think, I will make tracking a priority this month. And plan some chilli’s, soups and lighter stews for dinner. Healthy comfyfoods
Let’s see.
I'll make this month's theme: Heed the Calorie.5 -
Hi,
I'd love to join this thread if that's ok?
Height: 5'4"
HW: 168lbs (June 01st 2019)
GW: 112lbs
SW Nov: 146lbs (31st Oct weigh in)
GW Nov: 126lbs
I stopped dieting a few months ago but managed to maintain my 22lbs loss however I never reached my goal weight. I'd love to start again and be able to reach it this time and I have also recently started the couch to 5k app. I never did any exercise other than walking to work and back before to lose any weight but I decided I want to finally reach my goal weight and get a bit more fit in the process. My family and friends whilst they have the best intentions I'm sure just don't understand how I want to reach goal and be a little bit more healthier for my future and for myself and are always encouraging me to have a day off.. but when all of your friends and family are nagging you to have a day off on different days it soon turns into a week and a month that you are eating like you used to.
I think this will help me keep on track and disciplined having somewhere to come to update my weight and make sure I don't slip up for more than a day.5 -
Thanks @rianneonamission for the NOV thread!
So here we go:

Goal #2: Meal prep more. Utilize Crockpot! Soup season!!
Goal #3: Keep photo records of self...
Goal #4: Simplify life. Not stress over things out of my control😉
10/1 / 109 lbs, 21.4%, measurements 33.5-27.5-33.5
10/30 108.2, 19.1%, measurements 33.5-27-33.54 -
Looking forward to keeping my prep for next year on a strong trend, need to stay focused, but the holidays don't mean much for me, BUT, I am dog-sitting for a friend for a week in November and that is going to really affect my workouts that week so I'm really going to have to watch myself as it will be very easy to want to eat out and not workout - double bad combo (dog sitting for him adds an extra 1 1/2 hours of driving to my days which are already pretty full...and the only real "give" is gym time
).

@rianneonamission - Thank you for starting a thread!! I think these help me to stay on track more than anything else, there's something about being accountable daily especially with the holidays coming up! Let's do this!
I'm going to try to do IF this month at least on week days - skipping breakfast. Weekends are tough, I generally fix breakfast and we sit down as a family so I'm not planning it for those days....but with all the craziness on wknds, often we just eat 2 meals.
Not so sure about my start weight, haven't been weighing for a couple of weeks so I don't know if it's a bizarrely low day or I actually hit a new low. I did binge on nachos & white claws last night....so who knows?

Welcome!!! The more the merrier! I totally get it about having no support from home, it's not easy to do things alone and this thread really helps me! I'm the only female in my office that works on being healthy and isn't rather fluffy.....so there's always goodies around. At home - my boyfriend is really active during the day and doesn't work out - he's in amazing shape...and then there's me. I roll around in a chair and stare at a computer screen all day so it has to be a conscious effort to work on fitness.8 -

SW 78
Nov SW 70.3
Goal: maintain between 69 and 70
1. Keep on logging every day
2. Restart push-up challenge
3. 10.000 steps a day + 2 long walks & 2 dives a week
I’ve been way over my cals these last days so I’m surprised that I get away with 70.3 this morning. So, time to reign in again to get under the 70. Maintaining is not easy!4 -
[SW 119+] (BMI 28)
CW 112.8 (BMI 26)
GW 90 (BMI 21)
I lost 20 lbs from Oct-Dec 2017 using MFP, with an additional 7 lbs in 2018 just trying to maintain on my own with what I had learned from tracking. Life happened in Jan 2019 and I fell off hard in Feb. My eating habits had not quite reverted back to what they were, but I have quickly put back on the weight in the past six months. I need to get back on track and stay on track.
I know my starting weight is low, but I am just under 4'8", so my weight is "overweight" for my stature. My lowest weight in the past 10 years was Jan 2019 at 93lbs and I felt great.
Goal 1: Get back in the habit of tracking daily
Goal 2: Plan meals, prep ahead of time
Goal 3: Increase water intake
Overall goal: Get to 99.9# by Dec 31 this year.3 -

Hello! I love the idea of an accountability thread and would like to hop on this month, after lurking for the past few days I turned 40 this past summer and took that as the opportunity to be in the best shape ever! I workout with Fitnessblender 4-5 days a week for about 30-45 mins and aim for 10K steps a day. My problem is I LOVE FOOD! Healthy, unhealthy, doesn't matter lol. And also bourbon
Thanks for starting the thread, I'm hoping by participating instead of lurking I can be more mindful of all the yummy food I put in my mouth this upcoming holiday season!

I made my Oct goal! I had to work hard at it though. I know the next couple of pounds are going to be harder, so I’m going to lower my expectations for this month -especially since Thanksgiving is coming. But I’m still going to work hard at being focused because I’d REALLY like to make goal before Christmas when I see my in-laws.5 -
I tend to do much better with tracking and exercising when I have accountability so checking in for November. I'm going to need the support especially around Thanksgiving!

Height: 176cm (5'9")
Weight: 66kg (145,51lbs) (Stable since 2months)
BMI: 21,3
Goals:
1) Start losing very slowly again: down 0.5-1kg by the end of the month would already be good
2) Track better: been having a couple of days without any tracking and feel myself slipping
3) I'm going to start using the "last-7 days" average my app gives me to track weight; so I see less of misleading fluctuations
4 November: 66kg (145,51lbs) (7day average)
It's my birthday next week and I usually have a bunch of activities in the surrounding week. This weekend I didn't track or log anything; had a Halloween party Thursday, movie night on Friday, early b-day dinner Saturday, and B-day familylunch Sunday,... Thankfully it didn't seem to impact my weight so far!
Running seems to finally be improving (albeit marginally)!3 -

OK. I admit, I ate fried chicken over 2 days, parties, drinks enjoying a bit much these days.
My BF's bday today, so following Halloween party, dinner out with friends, drinks with friends and cakes, pies, another dinner with family and you get the picture.
I have a trip(business) to Japan for a week next week and my birthday following the trip... I am going to indulge in Japan. I cannot go there and not eat what I want! So diet on hold for the month😁 However, I will continue with work outs. OTF and something I can do indoors as lunch walk is getting too cold these days-

Well - I'm going to give it a try at lunch and see. My should is finally feeling better so I think it's time to start back on them. LOL! The last time I did it was on Oct 16th - got to a total of 72 - 5 reps - 14,16,12,12,18. When i started working on them 11 wks before that - I could do 3.
This is what I've been using for a guideline on increasing the # https://hundredpushups.com/week1.html
I have to repeat weeks often, it takes me longer to build strength for some reason.
