FALL WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE 2018 (September, October, November and December) A Continuation

@deepwoodslady, Me too Donna, but I just consider the weight loss I've already been blessed with and I'm grateful. I'm not going to throw a 77lb loss of weight away. It's just a blip. I don't even have cravings for foods anymore. Its just stress that has me eating available starchy carbs in the house. I have cookies, cake and chocolate in the freezer. Brownie mixes in the pantry. I don't want it. Frankly, I think its the change in weather more than stress. When the first cold snap comes I want to eat more. Once the weather stays cold and the air dries out, I'm okay, but this year it just doesn't want to remain stable. So, I eat a little more and wait it out 😆 just not too much.2

@MollyMadison2017 You are still killing it! I need some motivation badly, and I think you've just given me a bit. Thanks and congrats on a job well done!2

@deepwoodslady
You've lost 60 pounds. YOU HAVE LOST SIXTY POUNDS! So what if the last couple months you've hit a small speed bump. You gained back 6% of the SIXTY POUNDS you lost. So what? Nothing! That's what! Tomorrow is a new day and a new month. Guess what? You'll lose that four puny pounds and keep working your way down. Down down down.
Look at what you HAVE done. That should be good motivation. It's motivating to me anyway. Inspiring even. My loss was much less. I get it that it's frustrating to get stuck for a little while. It happens. Whatever. Look back at what you already have done!
And then read that little line at the top of your posts about how an inch is a cinch. Just take it inch by inch. Ounce by ounce. Next thing you know, you'll look in the rear view mirror and see where you've come, and it's AWESOME.2 -

Wow. Thanks so much. I LOVE MY FITNESS PAL and all you nice folks on the forums. You're right. I have lost 60 pounds. A few pounds up & down are not that big of a deal. I do get frustrated because I am not at a "plateau" but am suffering a result of my choices. However, I have had some crisis situations these past few months that have led to stress eating and extra traveling & restaurant meals. However, you are right. Just set-backs. I've learned a gajillion tools from all the great people on these forums. I know how to do this when I get my mind set. I think that you do get more flies with honey than with vinegar. So I shall focus on the "honey". (What I've accomplished so far}, and stay away from the "vinegar" (negative thinking). Thanks for coaxing me back in line with nice words of praises. I hope you have a great weekend!

@deepwoodslady
Wow! Thank you! Aren’t you sweet! 💞
I love the positive attitudes & wisdom that @mtaratoot, @tiabirdie56 , and you have expressed!
I woke up this morning asking God what I should be doing now...with maintenance approaching, house mostly decluttered, all labs good...’be been trying to figure out what’s next...
The reply was:
“Focus on Health - both body & mind.”
I was somewhat relieved to be honest because I know I DO need to keep focused to retain the health I have now.
Then:
“EVERYTHING comes from Health.”
As I know all too well, I was unable to do so many things or gave any real Life.”
So, I’m going to jettison the feelings of being Selfish, and “Focus on Health - both mind & body” because without it, I won’t be able to live this Life I Love!♥️
And now a few of my tips & tricks for you, @deepwoodslady !
* Set a VERY EASY goal for December- almost a laughable one! You are in this for the long run!
* My first YEAR I lost 16.3 lbs. Started cutting back on portions, organized kitchen, tossed old food, cooked & ate only at home for one month, started reducing eating out gradually.
* Second: 22.4 lbs.
Was told by Doc in June to walk 10K steps per day. Didn’t get there, but did walk Much more than before. Ate out 1-3 meals per week. Cut out refined sugar By Choice (not worth the cravings &increase in appetite for me.) did Pilates to regain strength & flexibility, both of which were shot.
* 2018 (so far): 34.8
getting an Apple Watch in March was hugely impactful. I began exercising DAILY. I call it “me time” & tend to do it between 4:30-6:30 pm) suppresses appetite for dinner & the evening.
I had slowly built up to 8K steps per day (slow, no hills) and thanks to the “24 hrs of exercise Challenges” in MFP, I started to see I could do much more. I built up to 40 hrs of exercise a month prior to breaking my arm, but still hit over an hour a day for November!
I kept reading things about HIIT, so I added that 3 times per week the past two weeks on my ex. Bike. I’m reading catalogs & magazines, etc.. I read that HIIT it keeps us active as we age, great for heart & brain, and it was the only thing in one study that got rid of belly fat!! SOLD !!
Thighs were sore first week or so, but nowI look forward to it, too!
Our bodies are amazing!
Total (so far): 73.5
I wrote all this to hopefully show you that truly this is not a race & as I got lighter, healthier, and more fit, I could lose more each year because I had mastered dozens of habits cumulatively.. small micro habits..
Each week I look at all my numbers & I ask myself: what’s one thing that went well?” (Honey) And then “what’s one small change you could make?” This has become the backbone of my approach.
This week my answers were went well: “You kept moving/exercising and listened to mediations on Simple Habits.”
One small change: don’t eat out & no sugar
(Small because I had done this for most of the last year, but could/can feel it slipping...)
So, 1) set a laughably easy goal for December. I’ve done this since May 2018. And I feel great when I do it - and often surpass it, rather than feeling bad if I don’t meet an ambitious goal, which can cause stress, and lead to eating to relieve the stress. CHOOSE SUPER EASY GOALS over many months.
2) Each week celebrate a success & create one small change you can practice this week.
Hugs! 💞🌈🎉
You have done SO GREAT❣️3 -
@MadisonMolly2017 Thanks so much for sharing the advice. You have done so well and it is beyond generous that you would share your secrets with me.
I understand your idea of making small, more achieveable goals. For sure, sometimes I do try to push myself so hard. A bit of a perfectionist, I guess.
Restaurants are not a problem for me on the day to day because, quite honestly, we hardly have any where I live. LOL. Which is probably why there is a complete lack of control when I do have those opportunities. My town has one McDonald's and a couple of small family owned restaurants that I became bored with years ago LOL. One of those restaurants closes at 2:00 PM (only open for breakfast & lunch). The other until 8:00 PM including summer tourist time and weekends. But I do have to travel several times per month since we are pretty secluded and then I have the problem. What others take for granted, I find too hard to resist. I know all about bunless and that I shouldn't order dessert, but I am so weak to the temptation most of the time because the restaurants have these FABULOUS offerings. I will work on making small goals in this area too since small goals really are a great idea and a great start.
Watching my sugars at home is pretty normal for me as I am T2D. I just need to stay away from the desserts when out of town. In my home I keep 90% cacao dark chocolate for cravings. Sugar is my weakness so I try to keep some sugar free things available in a pinch that is not too heavy in carbs.
My exercise is seriously lacking since it got cold. I was walking in my neighborhood until the renovations began again this year. I used to walk 5-6 miles a day (until about a year ago) even if I had to do it inside the school (we have a k-12 schoolhouse). I have always enjoyed seeing the artwork displayed in the hallways from the kids, or see upcoming events for them. Our average graduating class per year is from 8 to 15 students. They have kindly mapped out a 1 mile map so we can walk inside since there is no mall, strip malls, gyms or anything of that nature in our area. We also has the track outside the school. I started doing renovations a couple of years ago, room by room. It has really tied me up. Reno's are slow here because of the lack of skill and the lack of large hardware stores like Home Depot. I am trying to get motivated to do some form of exercise in my own home but Gosh am I ever tired since I own and run small cabins and motel on my property. I am open 7 days a week, 24 hours on-call. My husband is not longer here to take a shift, and my son is Autistic which means that the average person would not want to trust him with money, or charge cards or special requests. @abowersgirl mentioned looking into walking or step videos on youtube. When I get my livingroom back, I think I will try that. Again, small changes could make that difference.
Here is a new vow to myself: Each week, I vow, from here on out, that I will try to make one small goal or change in any diet or exercise category that can help me reach my larger goals. This week the whole house carpeting is going in Thursday, and OMGosh, we are literally packing up the entire house, with nowhere to put it all since all the rooms are getting carpet but the kitchen and bath. I am even sleeping on mattresses on the floor! But I vow that after Thursday I will make a smaller more reasonable goal and follow through. Am I nervous about this? Of course. It is December and I will be traveling more than normal for holiday shopping. But even in my travels I will find a reasonable goal!
Thanks again for sharing some of the secrets to your success. True, it's not a race. There is no doubt in my mind I will get there. I just have to stop beating myself up and taking steps backwards when I'm less than perfect. Slow and steady wins the race.
Have a great Sunday!

You are doing Great!
I call myself a Recovering Perfectionist! 😂
One thing that might help when traveling/eating out is eating 3/4
of each thing you order?! Next month: 2/3 Following month: 1/2... baby steps!
I learned a tip about desserts! Nothing tastes as good as the first bite!! Try it! It’s true! So you eat 5 bites savoring every morsel or eat half or (full-in-the-blank) and get 95% of the enjoyment!
I forgot another tip: unsalted, dry roasted or raw nuts...especially walnuts (Omega 3’s)
I enjoy almonds & pecans too. I weigh them by the 1/2 oz and savor each one with water or tea. I take them with me when I travel
With cut up apples with cinnamon/allspice/nutmeg & berries (anti-oxidants)...
You got this!!
PS Good luck with the carpets!

Portion Control. At a glance it seems obvious. If I am "dieting" and I want to lose weight, I must practice portion control. But it really isn't so simple. Sometimes what we put on our plate, or what we order is more of habit than hunger. I, honest to goodness, just never thought of some of these ideas.
I know that many restaurants have "lighter fare" or 1/2 portions but I skip right past them. I am going to start looking and ordering from them. When it's not available, I will order smaller items. Sometimes I am a good girl and ask for a take-out box immediately upon ordering, but not usually. This must also become my habit when it's that type of meal.
I eat almonds and walnuts daily. I actually mix them and eat them as a snack. I have never thought of taking a portion with me when traveling. That is such a good idea! I eat them because they are healthy, they relieve my "crunchy" snack cravings and the help me feel full because of the healthy fats. The fullness would really help when traveling.
I don't always think things out when my head is not in the game. Using MFP and meeting so many folks with their ideas, their plans and their victories really helps keep things in perspective. I know I live out in the boondocks. I was originally a city girl but moved to where my mother retired, in the middle of nowhere, 21 years ago when I learned of son's autism. I bought my small business to work at home, and used family to help with my son when I needed to go anywhere because I couldn't trust anyone else until he was verbal and learned language (5 years old). I get so excited when I get to go back to a city, any city, and experience the familiar sights, sounds, smells and tastes. But I have to remember that it is not going anywhere. It will still all be there when I am more ready for it physically and mentally.
Thanks for reminding me that I don't have to omit anything in my social life, not even good food. It is not about erasing, it is about being mindful of the portion. It is about how it will affect my plan overall. Making better choices. Allowing myself to be in control-not the food.
I know that this back & forth exchange is not just helping me, but helping others too. Perfect timing on all the tips you are sharing as we all begin our holiday shopping, traveling and baking. I do feel more empowered going into December since your post. Another social event today. My grandson Owen is turning one. More food. Today I will be handling things a little differently but I will still partake and enjoy. Today I get to practice this new mindset. The first bite is always the very best anyway, you are absolutely right. A nibble here or there. A Sliver of the cake. I don't have to "run home" to my safe place where I eat properly. I can do it wherever I go and be safe anywhere around food. I can do this! I know how to do this. I've learned thousands of things from hundreds of people on MFP, including you. A new idea, a little nudge, emotional support, shared stories, great tips-all help so very much on this journey. Sometimes I backslide a little bit and I just need someone to pull me out of the ditch so I can get back on the road. Thanks again for the assist.

Sometimes I backslide a little bit and I just need someone to pull me out of the ditch so I can get back on the road. Thanks again for the assist.
@deepwoodslady

STARTING WEIGHT AND DATE WITH MFP: Starting weight 280s and joined MFP January 2010. I've been here on and off for years but this time it's different. I am determined. This is by far the best program.
CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT:268.6
Sept. 3: 266.8

Sept. 17: 263.0

SEPTEMBER ACTUAL: -2.4 Much smaller loss than I wanted but at least I'm headed in the right direction.
OCT. 1:
OCT. 8: 260.6
OCT. 15: 262.6 - pure carelessness on my part. New week, new attitude!
OCT. 22: 265.2 - this is the most emotionally draining experience I've ever had. My coping skills are sorely lacking and if this keeps up my challenge weight will be higher than my starting weight. I wasn't going to weigh in but that doesn't make me any lighter.
OCT. 29: 262.4 - up a little from yesterday but less than last week.
OCTOBER GOAL: 6 lb. loss
OCTOBER ACTUAL: -2.2
NOV. 5: 265.0 - and I'm right back up there. I'm so angry at myself and tired of the repeated failures. It's my own fault. Time to let it go and move forward.
NOV. 12: 264.4 - Right direction but not enough. Better times ahead.
NOV. 19: 269.4 - I discovered my scale is 3 lbs. off so in the interest of honesty and proper posting I'm showing my correct weight. I didn't have a 5 lb. weight gain but I did gain 2 lbs. A gain is a gain is a gain. Boo!
NOV. 26: 272.2 - I am at a place where I strongly dislike the holidays. And after the holidays what will my excuse be? I have no idea but I have to figure this out; this is so depressing.
NOVEMBER GOAL: 6 lb. loss
NOVEMBER ACTUAL: UGH! 4.2 gain

TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS FOR THE SEASON:
Don't let it bring you down @pizzafruit. Is this a on day weigh in or a trend for the week? If it is one day, try again the next few days and see if it moderates. If it's a trend, try to learn from it and keep moving hour your journey. I got a little bummed when I was up eight or nine pounds over a few days, but I also recognized I was eating a lot more salt than normal. Slowly and steadily over the next six to eight days, it kept coming back down. Acknowledge the number and move on.
We can do this!

NOV. 12: 177.6 Better than expected. I actually went up drastically earlier in the week after 5 days of travel (I hit over 180), so I am relieved it is working it’s way back down. Have a great week everyone!
NOV. 19: 178.6 I am not proud but it is due to yet more traveling. From here to the New Year I will be doing lots of it. I enjoy it, but hate the affects of restaurant dining.
NOV. 26: [limegreen]180.4[/color=limegreen] Thankgiving dinner feast was yesterday for our family. Then, weigh today. Ugg. I actually ate way less than the old days, but still ended up quite bloated. Caved for the pecan pie which is never good. Next week will be a huge improvement.

DEC. 01: 178.0 Late December will be very difficult with all the social gatherings, baking and receiving baked goods, the Feasts and the restaurants while doing the out-of-town shopping. However, today is only December 1st and I am going to do my best to make these first couple of weeks count and help neutralize my overall stats for the month. A joyous time of year, but lets all enjoy it in good health.
DEC. 03: 178.4 A small bounce due to my Grandson’s first birthday party. I managed to be more mindful of my portions but enjoyed my day. More carbs and calories that are normal to my plan, and very little water but overall a success in my attitude about the food.

WEIGHT LOST THIS WEEK: Scale says UP 10.0 pounds? If looking at ten-day average, only 0.2 pounds. Is this just a blip? I sure hope so. Ten pound gain in a week is unrealistic and totally unsustainable.
CHALLENGE WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: 6.4 pounds
ACTUAL WEIGHT LOSS FOR CHALLENGE: The exact opposite - gained 6.0 pounds. The only good news is my ten day average weight is down 1.4 pounds since the beginning of the challenge). Can you tell I'm trying to be positive about gaining ten freakin' pounds in seven damn days?
From the last twelve months; you can see the loss:
Looking just at the past six months, I can almost imagine seeing a downward trend:
The last three months looks kind of flat, but with spikes:
