    Well I havent lost any... I have been doing Jillian Michaels 30DS and Yoga Meltdown as well as going to the gym and doing some extra cardio to prepare for the 5 Mile Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning. I have lost inches though, so that makes me feel better about not losing any weight!

    Starting weight for challenge - 227
    Today's Date - 11/17/11
    Today's weight - 218 (actually, yesterday's weight; been holding steady for 2 days)
    Goal weight for challenge - 220 (change it to 215?)
    Your personal goal - 5000 crunches in the month of November
    How are you doing on your personal goal - 1910/5000

    Unfortunately due to health reasons I am temporarily unable to exercise, and I don't know how long the condition will last. :grumble:

    I'm trying to think of a new mid-month personal goal; oh! No more than 3 servings of pop per week. Try to keep me away from the Diet Pepsi in the back of the fridge at home....drink more water/herbal tea!

    Thanks! I wish I could claim it was my awesomeness, but I think it has more to do with the meds I'm on and the copious amounts of water I'm drinking. Oh, and MFP's help, of course!

    Check In Day and I am NOT happy and I am frustrated!

    Starting weight for challenge - 155 lbs.
    Today's Date - 11/19/11
    Today's weight - 154 lbs.

    Your personal goal - Exercise at least 30 minutes - 6 days per week. Eat cleaner, less carbs, less sugar & more water!

    How you are doing on your personal goal - Not happy.... gained 1 lb. total loss is now only 1 lb. Doesn't look like I am going to lose the 5 lbs. I had in mind for November. Not sure what I am doing wrong.... I have never eaten OVER my calories, except for one day and I don't eat back my exercise calories.

    Am still exercising at least 30 minutes 6 nights a week as planned. Still working on eating A LOT better.....that is ever on-going!

    Hope everyone had a great week! Congratulations to all those who are meeting their challenge!
