What are your November goals? - Page 3

gina59 · 11-04-2007, 09:57 PM

My goal for November:
1. Lose 10 lbs (down to 142).
2. Stay focused on weight goal no matter what(no holiday is going to get in my way)
3. Exercise 10 min before every meal
4. Stay positive when waiting for a whoosh!
5. Look forward to December Hawaii trip.

Angel373 · 11-04-2007, 11:21 PM

I would just like to lose weight in November! I quickly lost 10 lbs the first two weeks in October, then proceeded to lose and gain the next 2 pounds over and over again. Ideally, I'd like to make it to 265, but I don't think that's gonna happen! :/

Oh and today was my first aspartame-free day. So I hope to stay away from it all during November and NEVER look back.

lcbeck · 11-05-2007, 11:24 PM

1. Drink Water

2. Exercise 3x Week

3. Lose 10 lbs

Jgregor5 · 11-06-2007, 02:20 AM

I'm going for a 15lb loss this month.
Keep up on drinking 64oz of water at a minimum.
Begin some form of exercise.
Continue taking my CLA/GLA combo.
Stay away from sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie

smash · 11-06-2007, 08:52 AM

Lose a total of 15lbs
Run 2 out of 3miles and situps
Stay on plan- Induction

silentkate · 11-06-2007, 09:28 AM

Get back down to 179 (11 pounds away).
Stay strict during Thanksgiving (I'll be staying with relatives for a week so I will lose some control over meals).
Keep posting on lowcarbfriends and fitday.

insight_237 · 11-08-2007, 05:09 PM

My goal for November is to hit the low 250's, or if I'm really lucky, the 240's.

CrzyCatLady · 11-09-2007, 01:27 PM

My goals are:

Drink more water
Keep the diet soda to only 1 per day
Lose 15lbs this month
Paint my hallway

Everyone have a great month!

wanna-dance · 11-10-2007, 07:20 AM

I want to walk more frequently. A half hour 4 times a week is my plan.
I also want to drink more water.

And, following thanksgiving I'm going on a 5-day vacation to an all-inclusive resort in Mexico. That will take some planning! But I hoping all the great stuff allowed on low-carb eating will make it fun and not too destructive.

The thing about low carb that I just adore is that with the loss of hunger pangs and cravings, I imagine this is how a thin person feels. Not "Omigod, I have some of that chocolate cake", but more "Not so hungry, I can pass that."

I never could get into the self-torturing of many diet plans. I thought something was not right about starving. I feel so lucky to tried this wol. And even though I don't post much, I have found this board very helpful. Thanks everyone.

Quit with that, until I get that accomplished.

I need to check in somewhere on regular basis. I am finding that out. I have reduced my goal to weekly basis, instead of monthly--2lbs per week. That seems to be helping me out alot. Also, checking in here daily to chat with someone (anyone) is a major help.

I have not been monitoring the work hours. The food and drink are pretty stable now, so work on the other 2 goals for the rest of the month.

Hope everyone's Nov is going on track. Anyone else want to check back in on Nov goals?

fergie303 · 11-10-2007, 08:30 AM

I finally made my October goal - I am 238 now with 8 pounds to go for my November objective. Going to be hard to do in twenty days.

IWILLDOIT1978 · 11-10-2007, 08:33 AM

I am on lowcarb again! For like the millionth time! So today is day five.

1.) If I can just stay on plan that will be a huge accomplishment.
2.) Loose 15lbs.
3.) Eat more whole foods.
4.) Eat my veggies
5.) Drink my 64oz of water a day

I just want to prove all the people wrong that are rolling their eyes at me and saying. Oh no! Not again! Doesn't she know this isn't going to work? Not one of them has really said this to me but I can tell by their looks that this is what they are thinking. I also want to prove all of them wrong that are telling me how unhealthy my lifestyle is. I want to do this so bad. I just want to be healthier for my kiddo. So that I can run and chase my lil 3 year old around the house. She loves that! I am at 250 again! Last time I lost 10lbs in five days and now I have gained it all back. I haven't weighed since I started this woe this time. I am going to wait about a week before I do that and try not to be to obsessive with the scale this time!

Jamie15fan · 11-12-2007, 09:59 AM

1. Lose 6 pounds to get to 165
2. Walk 30 miles
3. Drink 64 oz water daily
4. Take my vitamins

scrappychik · 11-13-2007, 11:56 AM

Ok my original goal was to lose 5, Ive lost 2 so far, to put me at 160. Right now Id be thrilled just to see 159! I am well on my way to walking my 45 miles this month

slh72454 · 11-13-2007, 05:01 PM

Congrats to fergie on making October goal!

fergie303 · 11-13-2007, 06:28 PM

Weight in day - Down another 2 pounds this morning to 236, I am trying to catch you Seth but you are pulling away. Two weeks to go to lose 6 pounds.

Blondmom · 11-14-2007, 12:46 PM

I'd like to lose 4 more pounds by Christmas--I'm a slow loser!

coxbowen · 11-14-2007, 06:50 PM

Oh, to be in the 50's!!!

IWILLDOIT1978 · 11-14-2007, 10:08 PM

1.) If I can just stay on plan that will be a huge accomplishment.
2.) Loose 15lbs.
3.) Eat more whole foods.
4.) Eat my veggies
5.) Drink my 64oz of water a day

These were my original goals for November but I have already lost 12lbs in nine days. So I guess I will up my goal to another 10lbs. Which will be a total of 24lbs I want to loose this month. I don't know if it is possible or not but I am sure going to give it a shot! I want to loose 10lbs every month and by Feb. 14th to be under 200lbs. I am 238 right now and I started out at 250. Do you all think this is realistic?

extraordinary · 11-14-2007, 10:34 PM

1. Stay on plan
2. Reach 195 (and maybe even 190 by the end of the month)
3. Survive Thanksgiving

Missalissa · 11-16-2007, 08:26 AM

I am down 5 pounds this month. Halfway to my November goal to be in the 150's.

Hope everyone is doing well~

Badger · 11-16-2007, 11:38 AM

Here's my original November goal "

I'm at 166.2 - goal is to get into the 150's. I'd love to get to 155 in November which would make me a "healthy" weight."

As of today 11/16 I'm at 158.0! So I'm pretty happy! I've psyched myself up for Thanksgiving!

Missalissa you're doing great!

How is everyone else doing?

Great job Badger! Keep on keeping on!

I would have been doing better except I had to take off 6 pounds of water I gained last week and I didn't eat off plan. Man, why couldn't that have been fat off my thighs instead?

JeriRat · 11-17-2007, 06:38 PM

To hit the 250s, hopefully close to 255. Continue eating low carb while adding back in a couple of ladder rungs.

slh72454 · 11-21-2007, 06:36 AM

I've got two more pounds to hit my November goal and it's going slowly so I really hope I make it.

Missalissa · 11-21-2007, 08:52 AM

Well the whoosh fairy came to see me and as of today I am down 90 pounds! I just need 3 more pounds to reach my November goal. Maybe make it, maybe not, but it's all good!

I pray everyone has a blessed and safe Thanksgiving!

Rosetta · 11-21-2007, 12:09 PM

My goals are to eat like it's any other day, enjoy myself, and focus far, far, away from gluttony. That's what I think Thanksgiving became for me at my biggest point, something I did for many years. It was sad, I would binge for days. Now I set goals of what I will eat and how much and stick to it. The reward comes the next day when I go shopping and feel the sense of accomplishment of having no big tummy blues.

I plan a lot. I decorate a lot, I cook up a storm all day, but it's all LC for me. One of my biggest goals is to stick to MY menu. I make several dishes for my family that I don't eat , but I fully enjoy YUMMY turkey, veggies, homemade LC cranberry sauce, LC gravy, LC pumpkin "pie" (no crust) with freshly whipped cream on top. That's actually a LOT of food, we're so blessed to live in this great country, with all its abundance. I just keep the portions small and my eye on the way I will feel when I hit the malls the next day. My focus is having fun with my family.

I won't lose weight, but I won't gain. All week I ate mostly fish, veggies, and dry salad so I have a small, clean appetite going into Thanksgiving. I actually lost a lb already this week because I've been eating very small dinners.

My goal is to actually remember to be thankful and appreciate by not over indulging. You know how good the first bite of something tastes? After that, it's never as good. I will be trying to focus on that kind of satisfaction, not the kind that makes me regret what I did to myself.

slh72454 · 11-21-2007, 05:59 PM

Well as of this afternoon I have achieved my goal of fitting into a pair of size 34W pants. I can't believe this! Yippie!

lovinlee · 11-21-2007, 11:06 PM

i only started back today...so there isn't much of november left for my goal...but i'm hoping to drop 5.5 pounds by the end (we talk in kilos so that will get me just below 70kg...) i don't care if it's just water weight...just as long as that scale goes downwards, and my confidence upwards!! i just don't want to be over 70 anymore. i'm sick of feeling fluffy and puffy.

congrats to all that have achieved their goals
