What are your November goals? - Page 4

Badger · 11-22-2007, 04:46 PM

Original Nov Goals:

"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.

Also I am going to get back into working out!

Drink more water and less Diet Pepsi!

Edited to add - and survive Thanksgiving at my parent's house!"

************************************************** ***

So far I'm at 2 out of 4.

I hit 155 this morning :-)

We all ended up going out to eat - I ate according to plan - only had salad and turkey!

However I have not cut back on Diet Pepsi nor have I really and truly gotten back into working out. So I'll have to work on those 2!!

Congrats on your goals Badger!

I found out today that I can wear jeans in a size 34W as well as the cargo pants. I figured the cargos would fit easier due to the material, but I bought two pair of jeans today because Old Navy had a big sale and yep I'm wearing em right now. They fit like a dream, so snug, but in a good way.

Now if only I can get the scales to go down about three pounds I'd be all set for November, lol.

kimlou · 11-24-2007, 04:23 AM

My goal was 145 lbs. I hit it around the 16th and as of Turkey day I claimed it.

Mandy_D · 11-24-2007, 04:31 AM

HI I'm new here. I just want to maintain for November and December. The holidays are tough, and if I can just keep my weight off until the first of January, then I plan to try for that last 15.

I'm glad I found this place, so many of your stories are an inspiration to me!!

fitnessgurl26 · 11-25-2007, 11:29 AM

Well, this is my first post.

Since Nov. is almost over, I would like to weigh in about 2lbs lighter by the end of the week. I just started the "TNT DIET" which is low carb and carb cycling after I have reached my goal. It is also very intense with weight training to preserve and build muscle and strength.

So, I am happy to be here and glad to see others looking to healthy lives!

Hi, I just joined and I have a question. I just started Atkins and I have a ton of boxes of high protein hot cocoa's and puddings I ordered before starting this diet. They have about 12 grams of protein and 2-3 grams of sugar so does this mean I cannot have any of this since they have some sugar?

scrappychik · 11-27-2007, 12:28 PM

Updating... my goal was to lose 5 pounds and walk 45 miles this month. So far I have lost and gained the same 2 lousy pounds over and over so dont think thats gonna happen HOWEVER I only need to walk 7.5 more miles to make my exercise goal - I think I can do it

Can i have them once im off induction ?

fergie303 · 11-27-2007, 05:13 PM

Don't think I am going to make this month's goal either - having a hard time losing and my weight is jumping around 4 to 5 pounds and I can't get below 236. I am not sure what is going on.

Blondeice · 11-27-2007, 05:27 PM

I just started atkins and I have a question...I made roast chicken tonight with olive oil and garlic powder on it. is that ok? does this diet really work? I need some motivation!

Blondeice · 11-27-2007, 05:28 PM

I can't find in the book what it says about spices but I know that one tablespoon of garlic powder has 6 carbs so its not good to use that correct? Does anyone have a good low or no carb recipe for rotisserie or roast chicken ??

Thanks!!!! Pamela

Quit with that, until I get that accomplished.

So far, down 5 lbs. The drinking flavored drinks has been going pretty well.
The other goals stink. Got to rethink them, or change my office attitude. Self-employed is tough on motivation, sometimes.....

Anyone else want to do a pre-month end check in?

Sarajewel · 11-29-2007, 08:23 AM

Continue taking the stairs. <- Did this!
Walk at least once a week. <- Not so good here... Maybe twice
Weigh 170something... <- 179.6 this morning!
Be firmly in a size 16. <- I'm there!
Reread DANDR OWL Chapters <- Done!Read Groves's The GI Diet <- done wasnt that great.
Keep learning and practicing healthy living. <- I think i'm doing this.

Having defined goals has really helped. now need to put some thought into December's goals. See you all on the next thread!

hockeyrules · 11-30-2007, 08:46 AM

Let's see how I did: November goals were

1. Lose 4 lbs. and get into the 180s -- whoo-hoo! Only lost 2 lbs., got into the 180s.

2. Walk 4 times per week Yes.

3. Do yoga 2 times per week Yes.

4. Lay off the cheese Yes.

5. Enjoy Thanksgiving by making a full menu of low carb foods. Kind of. We did make a low carb meal, but I did have stuffing

.

scrappychik · 11-30-2007, 09:51 AM

I got a whoosh this AM - scale now reads 158 - WooHoo!! So this month I lost 4 pounds just 1 pound shy of my goal, and I DID walk 45 miles

Now I must think of goals for December

fergie303 · 11-30-2007, 10:11 AM

Didn't make goal this month, weight is jumping around alot and not sure why. Only managed to lose four of the ten pounds that I was hoping for. Buy hey, that's four pounds gone for good!!

Exactly!! You've come a long way already, Fergie. KUTGW

slh72454 · 12-01-2007, 08:10 AM

Well I'm still three pounds away from my November goal weight, but I was able to wear size 34w pants so I guess I completed half of my November goal. I'm still happy with myself. I'm going to get there in December for sure.

iakaren · 12-02-2007, 07:03 AM

I lost 5.5, which was a little shy of the 8 lbs I had for goal.
I did pretty well on managing the flavored drinks during the month.
We won't discuss the other 2 goals................work and excercise related......

Missalissa · 12-03-2007, 08:40 AM

Didn't make my November goal of the 150's, but I'm still happy with my progress. Now gotta figure out what my December goal is going to be.
