Welcome Team Slimsons - New and old members to November Challenge!
MY INTRO
My name is Gloria, 41 yrs old, been at this weightloss journey since 2004. It's been a long uphill battle but I refuse to give up until I meet my long time goal of 200lbs.
Over the past few years I've been diagnosed with asthma which has overlapped into COPD ergo the oxygen continously, gastroenteritis, hiatal hernia, acid reflux, pulmonary hypertension, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, chronic pain in back and knees.
I am currently under the care of a Baraitric doctor (non-surgical) @Atrium Health Weight Loss Center who has been monitoring my eating habits using MYFITNESSPAL app. Over the last ten months she has shown me what I was doing wrong, by pointing out my Protein needs to be 30g per meal and my carbs should be no more than 70g per day. Under her guidance I finally see the scale going down consistently (as long as I follow those guidelines) and have REVERSED MY DIABETES YAY. It's great to have a doctor that is not interested in surgery but what is best for the patient.
***Succeeded losing 7lbs and 59 inches overall for October YAY!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💪🏾💪🏾🎉🎉🎉🎉***
NOVEMBER GOALS:
1. Lose at 2-3lbs every week
2. Weigh & Measure on Mondays
3. Meal prep weekly
4. Exercise at least 3x a week minimum 15 minutes
5. Track and journal my experience to see where improvements can be made
6. Intermittent fasting 16:8/18:6 from 6pm-11am
**My 2nd small milestone is to reach 475.9lbs by my birthday Dec. 31. I currently weigh 499.6lbs as of 10/29/2020.
Looking forward to reading everyone's post and know we will have a successful month. We're in this together 💪🏾❤2 -
Found it, finally! Hi, I’m Leah. I am 26 years old and dealt with weight issues for as long as I remember. I am considered for my 5’0” frame is “obese”. I know I’ll never be 120 lbs, but I’m prefer to lose 15-25 pounds, getting me closer to 150-155 lbs. I have been diagnosed with PCOS and a BRCA 2 gene mutation, including my chances of infertility and cancer, respectively. Getting into shape, exercising, will help with my depression and my physical pain (left knee and foot, mainly). My current weight, as of today, is 180 lbs.1

I'm aiming for more and better losses in November and to break my pattern of yo-yo-ing. Made the mistake of bringing Halloween candy into the house today and went way over on my calories. Whoops! Back on track tomorrow. Happy birthday in advance to fellow Scorpios!1 -

What a lovely team -I’m pumped to be joining you. It will take me a day or so to gauge how the post formats are done. For the purpose of introductions, My name is Tanya, I live in rural Ontario (Canada). Mom of 2 (14,11). I discovered this app in 2018 and joined a challenge such as this and it’s the most success I have had to date. I am serious to make health-forward decisions, I’d like to lose a bit, get some confidence and momentum and re-introduce the physical activity piece (pain has been a deterrent). Ultimately I’m in in for the long haul and to get into a healthy range...I will need to lose a cool 100lbs. I have all my vitamins and supplements, increasing water and have been alcohol-free since Thanksgiving (second weekend in October). 2 interesting things about me-1) we love animals -we rent on a farm and have a few cats and 2 wiener dogs, we got a Maine Coon this summer. 2) I did a cold plunge today in a near freezing Georgian Bay (the Great Lakes). It was actually fantastic- I’m going to do it again.1 -
