lose 5 Pounds A Month November 2011 Challenge

I'm starting November a bit up from my last October weight, but I think I'm ok with it. Have had a hard time saying no to treat this Halloween and the weekend came with many costume parties that I let myself indulge at. But I did my boot camp class this morning and I know that I will make it down again sooner or later so I'm letting it roll off my back...

Starting weight...

Decided I've had enough of this cough/sore throat crap (it's been a week) and I can't get in as a new patient at my hubbys' docs til JAN! So I went to a Walgreens Take Care Clinic today.. I have broncitis and strep Bleh. That sucks cause I really wanted to go to Zumba tonight. Oh well, rest and soup and no work tomorrow per docs orders..

@ BrunetteWife - Hope you feel better!

I'm back to 138.5. I was that a week ago but the Halloween weekend put me back up to 142. After eating healthy and exercising for the past 4 days most of the weight came off. I'm sure a lot of it was water weight but I'm happy to have this challenge to focus on eating well and having enough of a deficit to lose a pound a week. I have a Thanksgiving dinner next week for my son's hockey team. Then, I'll be in Boston after that and then Thanksgiving dinner the next week. Yikes. One day at a time---but I think I need to take advantage of days that I don't have much going on and exercise more and eat healthy stuff.
Good luck to everyone!!! Love hearing about people's progress.

So game! Count me in! AH it's my birthday month and Thanksgiving this is a challenge for sure~!

NOV 1: 317
DEC 1ST GOAL 309

Well this is day 3 of the Nov. lose 5 pound challenge and so far I am doing ok. Have stuck with my excercise regimen and have done really well with my diet. Just home from work now and I am so sleepy, really wanting to skip the exercise tonight but I know I have to do it! Will resume my 30DS tonight as I had to put it on hold the last couple of days due to an injured toe (which ended up only being bruised badly and not broken). So it will be treadmill and Jillian for me tonight! Good luck to all who are participating :-)

Weigh in this morning-- 175 lbs. Not sure what day of the week i want to weigh in. I think i will start doing it on Thursdays. I hate the Monday/tues. weigh-in when u were not your best all weekend. I'm sure some of you can understand lol.
Question how often do we weigh in for a monthly challenge? Just at the end of the month or wat?
If anyone wants a friend i'm new here and need some so feel free to add me.

I find that a good day to weigh in is Friday....after a good week of working out and before a possible "bad" weekend
