Hello it's that time again. Time for another Calorie Counting Challenge!! Set your goals and let's get it started. You decide what you would like to have accomplish by Thanksgiving and then do what you have to do to get it done. Check in often so we can celebrate your victories and encourage you through the rough patches. We are all going in the same direction so let's do it together.
You can have a goal for losing or maintaining and we welcome you to join us on this journey of a healthy life!!
My weight goal is to get to my original Halloween goal of 174 (100 total lbs lost.) I'm not sure exactly where I'm starting as I haven't weighed in since last Thursday (when I was UP 2 lbs but refused to move my ticker because it was my birthday, lol), but I will WI this Friday and see where I'm at. Optimistic goal: if I get to my 174 goal early, my next goal is to get as close to the 160's as I can so I can stay motivated through the tempting holiday season
My calorie goal is to accurately log and stay in my calorie budget 90% of the time (this allows for a couple days during the challenge for a *little* sloppy counting/eating out/whatever...but I need to stay more focued on this than I did toward the end of the Halloween challenge.)
My exercise goal is to work out at least 5 days per week. Now that it will be getting dark after work, I will need to find something to replace my evening walks.

Yay! I love new challenges! Thanksgiving is a good challenge to have because if I meet my goal, it will give me a reason to pig out! LOL.. anyway, The Halloween challenge was kinda wish washy for me, & I ended up gaining 2 lbs back from what I lost, but the upside to it is because it was my TOM so hopefully I can lose the water weight!
My goals for this month:
-lose 5-6lbs
-300oz water a week
-no elevator at work! lol.. sounds silly but climbing up 5 flights of stairs 4 times a day is a workout all in itsself!

Good Luck with this one everyone!
No kidding! Lucky! I wish I worked at a place that had flights of stairs. I'd take advantage of that! I usually sit on my rump all day, occasionally getting up. Thankfully I have to drive to the post office twice a day, so I get a little stair workout
Goals for this month:
1) Lose 7-10 lbs. - I lost 5 lbs. last month starting on the 10th, surely I can lose at least 7 lbs, especially if I really start working out!
2) Workout every day, whether it be 10 minutes during my lunch break, or an hour after work.

My goal is to lose 15 lbs!!! I am pretty sure I can do it as I lost 20 last month and I ate out like four to five times a week. :/ It was super yummy but I had to even it out by working out longer and longer.
My non weight goal is to eat out a max of three times a week including lunches but preferably only twice a week as I really need to lose weight before I meet my boyfriends family. I am so afraid they are going to be disgusted by me and wonder why my boyfriend couldn't find someone better......
I'm hoping to lose 7 pounds by Thanksgiving. I already know I'll be enjoying myself Thanksgiving day , so after the festivities are over I should have a loss of at least 5 pounds. Let's do it guys!
So I've been thinking about this challenge quite a bit to figure out what goals I want to try for.
My weight goal is: 149! That's well 5 lbs according to the ticker, but I think I'm a little more than that right now, haven't weighed myself. So probably more like 6 or 7lbs. Probably 6. Anyway...
My exercise goal is: to keep doing c25k 3 days a week. I also want to walk 20miles a week for a total of, 60miles since this really is only 3 weeks long!
For calories I would like to keep it between 14-1600 during the week. On the weekends I want to just focus on actually counting my calories and trying to cap it at 2000 for a maximum intake. Weekends have been slowing me down, which isn't such a horrible thing. I still want to enjoy a little wiggle room for the weekend.
NS goals: I guess the exercise and calorie goals count. I also want to take my measurements this week or next since I haven't done that in a while.
My Goals:
Lose 5 pounds (from 165 to 160)
Walk for at least an hour 6 days a week
Since there is so much leftover Halloween candy in my house right now, have max. 1 candy a day
NS Goal:
Last weekend, I bought an adorable dress on sale that was slightly too tight. It buttons from the waist up and I can button it, but I’m afraid that I’ll pop a button if I inhale deeply. My realistic goal is to fit into the dress by Christmas, but my hopeful one is to get there by the end of this challenge
- 129 by Thanksgiving, 1200 in cals and slow-carb style diet.
- 6am spinning classes 3x a week before work
- BEAT my sugar addiction!
- 8 glasses of water a day.
My goal: 5 lbs. Might be pushing it as it's my birthday this weekend and I'm sure to be eating out every meal. I've done great though the past 5 months w/eating out reasonably.
My non-weight goal: Keep up the 2 1/2 + hours a day of exercise. Terriers love cold weather, so no reason not to get long daily walks in.
A mini-goal that I have set for myself is to be 200 by the end of November. With very little weight loss in October (went through a funk), I have a big task ahead for this month!
My goals for this month:
1) 200 pounds (or close to it!!) by Nov.30.
2) Be more consistent in my exercise.
3) Stay between 1200-1700 calories. Do not exceed 2000 calories.
4) Drink less wine! That was my Achilles heel last month.
