I lost 5 pounds in September and I am feeling good about my journey!  Whoohoo!!  I am on my way and I have survived the summer and this is my season. 

Fall is about new beginnings and here I am.  Losing inches and now it is time to crack down on my eating habits so I can reach my goal to be under 300 pounds by the end of March.  I only have 6 more months to go and it is hump time.  I have to keep telling myself to just do it! 

What are your goals for October and/or November?  Please share!

My goals for October/November are:  

1. Eliminating more carbs, eating more protein, and more clean eating and less processed foods. 

2.
360+ minutes of exercise each week. 

3. Lose 23 pounds by December 1st.-- SW361/GW338

4. Continue to work on night time grazing and weekend grazing. 

5.  Getting more sleep in each night by going to bed at least an hour earlier most week nights.

I know the weight loss goals are challenging and aggressive but I feel I am ready to step up my pace and this is finally coming together for me mentally, physically and spiritually.  I am finally making some strides and I believe I can do it! 
Everyone have a good month!!!

You rock Molly! We have to keep pushing hard.

1) no: random snacking, grazing, night snacks after 7

2) lose 7 pounds by nov 1

3) attend more OA meetings and get a sponsor

4) make an appointment with psychologist who specializes in eating disorders (hopefully that will help my binging patterns).

You rock Yehuda!!  I am proud of you!! Number 3 and 4 will both help with the binge eating patterns!  I happy to see you are working the head angle.  Many who have WLS never work on the mental side of things.  The WLS only fixes the stomach, not our brains.  Keep posting!  You are doing great!!

You have a wonderful month also.

Good job Molly!  That's a positive step in the right direction!

I need to get more rest and increase my water intake.
