NOVEMBER GOAL THREAD!

What are everyone's november goals?  here are some of mine:

• November 13, 2006 weigh 270 (would have to lose 6.4 pounds) 
• November 30, 2006 weigh in the mid 260's (260-266lbs)

If I become 269 by the end of november, i will have lost 40 pounds since my highest weight, and 20 pounds since I started calorie count!

• Go to the gym at least 3 times a week; but be active 5 times a week (this can include grocery shopping for an hour or walking the dog for 20 minutes, or house cleaning for 30 minutes)
• Vary exersise routines by doing classes and other machines other than just the elliptical
• At work, drink at least one orange waterbottle
• NO REGULAR SODAS (I only had 2 this past month, so let's whittle it down to zero!)  
• Try to reduce sodium intake per day, and up fiber intake

I want to:

• Reach a steady 118-122 lbs
• Exercise 5 times a week
• Up my water, and down the energy drinks
• Reduce sodium as well, but increase the protein

Now to find that damn gym key so I can get active as much as I would like. Nrr..

I want to:

Lose 5lbs this month.

Maintain my workout schedule (4-5 times a week)

Keep positive, the plateau is killing my motivation!!!! (3rd month 17# something) up one pound down one pound, up two pounds down one pound.

Realize my life is better because I am healthier!!!

by Dec 1
--> lose 7 pounds (same as october) and get to 173.
--> be able to do 10 pushups. and not the girl ones.

throughout November
--> drink more water 
--> do 15 pushups a night (even if they are scattered)
--> do 20 situps a night
--> do at least 30min pilates every week
--> eat at least 1200 calories/day (more when i exercise)

• Drop another 6 lbs (so my BMI will finally be in the "normal" range).  Be more consistent with the veggies and the hydration.
• Keep up with the long trail runs after my running clinic ends in mid-month
• Manage to do 10 five-fingertip pushups from my toes, not my knees
• Bench press 40lbs and squat 120lbs (both on 40lb bars)
• Continue with the workout schedule I have now, except make sure I practice my jujitsu every day I don't have class.
• Get my yellow belt. 
• Don't spend the whole month eating leftover Halloween candy.

• drop 9 lbs
• drink 8 16oz bottle water
• eat 1200/1500 a day
• work out 3x aweek
• walk twice a week
• don't eat after 7pm

Only one problem thanksgiving is at my house for 40 people

- Lose 5 lbs in November.
- Eat more healthy food.
- Workout atleast 6 times a week

Btw, I have a question. Many members wanted to reduce sodium intake. What is the advantage? Any links to find more info please?

Sorry, if this is off topic for this thread.

...lose 5 or 6 more lbs before thanksgiving (wanted to lose 20 before then when I started, but would settle for 10)

...don't gain at thanksgiving

...quit smoking (my 3rd try starts tomorrow)

...lower my cals by 100 on average

>>Get into size 8 jeans!

>>Actually exercise LOL

>>Go swimming in my suimsuit that fits!!! YAAAAYYY!!!

november goals are as follows:
4 days of exercise a week
try to lose 6-7lbs by december (would put me well into the 250s)
make sure im eating 2 different veggies at least 4 times a week
lower the number of cookies i consume on a weekly basis
measure on the 7th
keep a positive attitude
remember that one day of fun won't ruin everything im working towards

should be good. here we go again!

hmmm good idea. Then I have something specific to work toward! Okay...

>>lose 7 pounds. I just picked that number randomly. Sounds reasonable. :)

>>Exercise 4 times a week.

That's enough. I'm a lazy mofo. :)

Mine is super simple -
Get off the damn plateau that I'm stuck on :-)

November Goals:

1. To get through Thanksgiving without gaining wieght
2. Eat more vegi's (at least once a day)
3. get to the gym 4 days a week and hike on Sundays

Fauxtograph,

Your goals look great. I think I may borrow a few;-).

I am currently at 223, and just signed up for calorie-count.com today. I want to be 215 by November 30, a loss of 8 pounds. In order to get there I'll:

• Work out at least 3 times a week, whether at the gym or on a trail; but be active 5 times a week
• Drink at least one 64 oz. bottle of water
• For this first month, only drink water and gatorade
• Try to reduce sodium intake per day, and up fiber intake

By November 30th, I'd like to:

1.  have lost 8 pounds, so I'm @ 200 (208 now).

2.  lower sodium intake/up fiber intake

3.  drink more water!
