11/19 - 177 - SMH - These 170's are the devil! BUT, they won't win.
11/26 - 178 - 😥 Excess fluid, but nooooooooo to this number, lol. The brightside is that my bodyfat percentage is lower.
11/28 - 174.8 - Two more pounds in 2 days. Is it even possible? I'll try.

Just squeaked to that 5 pound loss, I was shooting for a 9 pound loss, but I'll take it! I had put on 40 pounds this year in 6 months, looks like at this pace it will take me 8 months to take it back off : - (
Such is how it goes.
For some of us it is a lifelong battle I guess.
Tracking is definitely the only way to stay on top of it.
If we do this challenge again next month I think that I am going to follow Tracie_Lord and do it daily. It will show better fluctuations and it is really good for accountability.
Good job everyone for taking ownership. At the end of the day it is up to us and us alone.
I hope that we do this again for December.4 -

You sure had a great start in the first 5 days! Pretzels and stuff are okay to have, everything is okay to have as long as we measure/count it. Deprivation never works for sure. Moderation can be tough, but we can do it!!3 -

@sarahlucindac Fantastic loss for the month! WTG!!!
Thank you!! Congrats on your amazing loss as well! ☺️1 -
I'm in. Have not lost 5 lbs in a month ever. Very frustrating so we will see what we can do in November. October I did get close and lost 4.3 pounds.
Starting weight 175-178
Ending Oct weight 157.8
Goal 152.8
Weigh in days will be Friday (seem to be my best days lol)
11/2 - 156.5 new low for me. Was really good all week, even through Halloween! Already worried about Thanksgiving and my husbands bday next week. Those are going to be rough weeks!
11/9 - 156.8
11/16 - 155.5 Down 1 pound. I don't think I am getting 5 pounds this month either. Hopefully I don't go crazy with Thanksgiving.
11/23 - 157.8 day after Thanksgiving, so I'm sure it will go down.
11/30 - 153.8 Did well, but didn't lose 5 pounds. Really looking forward to being out of the 150's and into the 140's next month. I did ok considering all the obstacles I had in front of me this month. Hopefully I can do 5 pounds in December.

SOMETIMES I GIVE IN………BUT I NEVER GIVE UP !!!
I am weighing in on the First and the Last day of each month for a full monthly account.
Highest Weight Ever: 253 ( in 2014/2015)
Original starting weight - 235 (on Jan 11, 2018)
MY STATS:
Highest weight ever (2014/2015): 253
Original starting weight for this current journey : (1-11-2018) 235.0
My Final Goal: To weight 145 by Valentine’s Day 💗💗💗 By March 15, 2019 I hope to weigh no more than 153 after an initial and expected water weight gain after transitioning off my diet. I am allowing for (hopefully no more than) 8 pounds for the water weight.
November starting weight - 177.6
November goal - 5 lb Loss to be at 172.6
November Actual End Weight: 178.1
Weight/Comment:
November 01 - 177.6
November 08 - 179.6 Too much travel this week. All restaurant foods and no movement.
November 15 - 177.2 A miracle I came in this week at a loss. Lots of travel & restaurants this past week. Weight went up higher, but is slowly moving back down. It is nice to type the weight in red ink again!
November 22 - 176.0 Okay, mending well here so far. But two Thanksgiving Dinner’s are going to happen. I will just have to show a little restraint. Next week’s weigh-in will tattle on me for sure telling the whole story.
November 29 - 176.4 I am very proud of this weight. After my two Thanksgiving FEASTS , my weight increased to 180.4 !!!!! So I have been working non-stop to get back to where I need to be and I am not a touch lower than the start of this challenge. Tonight is a potluck dinner and tomorrow is my final weigh-in. I’m afraid I will show an increase overnight which may mostly be water due to carby foods. My goal here today is to keep the scale down to 177.6 or less (my start weight on 11-1-18.) Then I’ll feel like I managed to float and didn’t drown. I certainly hoped for a bigger loss. However, if these challenges can keep the gain at bay during the hardest holidays of the year in November and December, I can’t help but feel it’s a great success. See you tomorrow for the final weigh-in !
November 30 – 178.1 Never weigh in after a potluck dinner!
Weight Loss or Gain so far during this Challenge: -0.5 lb GAIN
Final Challenge Thoughts: A Yo-Yo month which would have ended better without the multiple Feasts and the potlucks. Ah well. On to December.

Original MFP starting weight (January 2018) - 168.2
November starting weight - 148.0
November goal - 143
Ultimate goal - Range between 142 - 148
October 31 - 147.4
November 1 - 148.0
November 8 - 150.2
November 15- 149.0
November 22 - 147.4
November 29 - 147.0
November 30 - 148.0 -- Oh well. I actually was doing good last week; down to 144.5 Then I got back home and had a couple days of gains
Total loss for November: I can almost say I didn't gain in November; I'm exactly the same scale weight at the end as the beginning. My ten-day running average was 0.2 pound LOWER on November 1 than November 30, so I can't really even say I maintained. Almost! And even though maintaining is good, I'm pushing the top of my range, so I can't call it a successful end to this month's challenge.
It's ok.
I'll see you next month to try to knock that last five pounds off and get to my final destination 143. Yeah, I know; that's not really a final destination, it's just a layover on the road to maintenance-land.
WE CAN DO IT!!!!

@dawnbgethealthy, Thank you. You are so sweet. I follow the keto WOE though, so the starchy carbs make my body hold fluid, as if I needed help in that dept! I don't have cravings at all, which is a blessing. My stress eating, needs crunch! I'm not upset about a small twist in the road. I've lost 77 lbs in one year and really did not expect to have that type of success. So, leafy vegetables YES, pretzels and bread NO.2

Gotcha! I didn't realize that you were doing Keto, so no carbs : - )
I tried that once years ago and gained 50 pounds over 6 months, so it doesn't work well for my body type I guess.
77 pounds in a year is awesome!!
See you in the December challenge : - )
