This is a similar idea to the Stoptober challenge; Because we always have a holiday in October I don’t tend to do Stoptober which I think was originally a bit like dry January. For me NO!vember is no alcohol, so a bit of a liver holiday 😀 plus, this year, cutting out the processed carbs that have crept into my diet of late, no cakes, no potatoes, no bread, no pastry etc - which do me absolutely no good at all. In addition I want to work a bit harder on my exercise ( no excuses) as my gym sessions have become more habit than hard work.
I don’t imagine I’ll post every day but if anyone else wants to join in whatever you are saying NO! to then I’m sure there will be support, and you’re very welcome.

We wish you the very best of luck with your challenge, Frenchfields and would like to let you know that Team Admin will be hosting a Countdown to Christmas Challenge from the 4th November until the 22nd December inc.
Ours will be about adding and/or subtracting on each of the 7 weeks it covers.
Thank you. Yesterday was a good day for me but I need to make an effort to plan my evening meals so its not a last minute thing. Hope your Monday was a good one too.
So managed 2 days of 'good-ness' and its not even November yet ( I thought it was 1st today but turns out thats Friday) Anyway, hope anyone joining is keeping up the no -thankyous.
I'm going to join you and keep my goals from the Stoptober challenge.
So, no potato chips (crisps) or cake slices from my favorite bakery. I'm down a little over 5 pounds from that so I want to continue. (I'm also afraid of the cravings returning if I start having them again!)
Well done. Our bakery cakes are so ridiculously sweet that I wouldn't enjoy them anyway. I sed to make low carb bakes but not really fussed about sweet things anymore. Yes, best not to trigger the cravings. Welcome aboard.
I love the idea of a November challenge. Since I am within 10 pounds of ideal weight now, I need to add new exercise and some strength training to help push me forward. In November I will get back to spinning...I will try at least one class near my new location in November. I will also sign up for weight training in November...so far my exercise has been walking and hiking.
Hi Sunnyskies33, well done for whittling down to your last 10 lbs. Welcome to our weight loss support community. The November challenge is just one of the many things that are available on this forum.

Hi Frenchfields, I've decided my November challenge will be 'NO EXCUSES to do toning exercises. I've been saying I want to start toning all year, and still haven't managed to get consistent with it 😳 I've found a "7 minutes for 7 days" tummy/core challenge on YouTube, which promises visible results in that time! So, I'll start with that tomorrow, and then review after the first week..
