November Weight Loss Challenge
 

November is a challenging month for those of us in the US with a big food-centered holiday at the end, starting a month-long food-centered celebration. We can combat that challenge by setting up a challenge of our own -- a counter-balance to prevailing culture.

Whether you are in the US or not, please join us for the November Weight Loss Challenge.

What do you want to do in November to further your weight loss goals? State and track your weight loss goals here. (Check out our sister thread, November Exercise Challenge for exercise-related goals). We'll combine all of our goals together in a list and turn them RED when they are completed -- that's a celebration!

Let's go into November with cheer and determination!

I'd like to join. I need to get back on track!

SW: 179.6
GW: 170

I'm in! I'm 147 right now and I'd like to get down to 145 and maintain it through Thanksgiving and the end of November! :)

I'll join! My goal for this month will be getting into the 130's. So, I would like to hit 139.9!

I cannot believe I lost that much this month. I haven't been able to do that since I started, and it happened the month of Thanksgiving!

Definitely joining in and sticking with it the rest of the year!!

Starting weight: 226.6

11/2: 227

I only have 25lbs until onederland- if I lose about 12-13lbs for the next two months, I'll be out of the 200s by the new year! Luckily I'm controlling Thanksgiving dinner this year.

SW: 127
GW: 125 or less

im in fo sho

SW = 186.5
GW = 179.5

Count me in.

Yay!! A challenge! Im back in the game after a break :) My big goal is to be within my healthy weight range of 150-165, and I have a mini goal to be a size 14 by December 19th. So, for this November challenge I want to go down a pant size and get even closer to that size 14. Im currently an 18 :)

I don't live in the US, but I do have my birthday coming up in the end of November. I've also been screwing up badly this week, so I'd like to get back on track.

SW: 68.3
GW: 65

I want to try to stick to a lowish carb diet, with one break day a week.

I'm also only allowed to binge three times this week and they are not allowed to be on consecutive days.

SW 255.6
CW 255.6
GW 249

I know I have set the same goal for a few months now. But I am determined to reach it before the year ends.

I am changing up things for myself for the month of November. I'm really going to try better.

I'm in! My end of the year goal is to no longer be "morbidly/extremely obese," which is at #206.8. My goal is to lose #10 this month. There's a few BIG hurdles this month - Boyfriend's b-day 8th, BFF coming to visit 16-18, Going to TN the 21-24 (which includes 2 days of nothing but road for 12 hours). Also, I'm generally a slow loser, so pushing for #10 in 30 days is going to be a huge struggle!

SW: #225.8
GW: #215.8

My end result of an up and down October is back where I started. Which is good since I'm slipping into maintenance.

My goal for November: 20+ morning weigh-ins below 76kgs

Good morning everyone!

Last night I semi binged/overate a ton of halloween candy, peanut brittle, caramels, tootsie rolls, etc and am feeling a little mad at myself this morning. But I'm trying to just focus on doing well in November even though I ended October a little rough. I've got 2-3 lbs to lose by Thanksgiving and I think that's definitely do-able for me :) (I hope)

so good luck staying OP today everyone! happy november!

I would like to get back on track and lose 10 lbs this month bringing me down to 229. I have been stuck here long enough!

I'm in. Met my oct goal and ready to start a new one.. i am 305.2 and want to lose 10 lbs (295.2) by the end of the month

WEEK TOTAL:

I'm trying to get back on after not exercising for the last couple months and eating/drinking too much. I've got a pretty reasonable goal for November, 3kg or 6.6 pounds. Hopefully I can get back on track this month. Good luck everyone.

11/02- 96kg
11/09- 94.1!!!
11/16- 94.5- binged on Sunday and could not recover. Still halfway there at the halfway mark. I can do this :)
11/23- 93.2, almost there!!!! I'm hoping this is the first time I will meet a goal. I know now to try and keep them reasonable.
11/30- 92.2- I was shocked when I stepped on the scale this morning. I just hope it doesn't go up.

Hey everyone! Just checking in to keep myself accountable! Yesterday was OP, I had a great workout and it motivated me to get up early today and knock my workout out before I started the day :) I was 145.8 at the gym this morning, I thought I'd gain weight from my candy binge on Halloween, but hopefully I exercised enough to keep it at bay ;) .8 lbs away from my goal!

Today i'm going to be busy with lots of homework and projects so no time for overeating hopefully. I hope everyone has a good OP day..

sending positive vibes to everybody:)

My scale is moving the wrong direction, but I'm staying on plan which is more important to me now. I may have misinterpreted what my maintenance weight wants to be.

Yep, Enygirl, report using the mechanism that works best for you -- that's what we're all about!

AilsaPearl: yay for being OP and 3 miles on a rest day!

Great to see everyone's numbers moving down!

My check-in dates will be on Wednesday as this correlates with another challenge. Right now I am 227.8, but had my cheat day yesterday, so will hopefully be in a good place by Wednesday!
