@deepwoodslady - you are doing great. Just keep it up. Slow and steady is great. No need to feel bad that you're losing SLOWLY. It's way more sustainable. Just keep doing what you're doing. It's working!3

wow what a month... not sure what happened to me... and I have never been depressed but this last month... WOW.. eating very badly, no gym, no walking, no running, NOTHING!!! Then... I woke up yesterday and had an amazing day. I feel SOOOO much better ~ now to get back at it. I've got some time to make up.

I will be back for another round! Did way better during the summer challenge than I did in the Autumn one. So maybe I can keep that going.

Summer Challenge SW - 151.9 EW - 144.3 Lost 7.6
Challenge Starting Weight ~ 144.3 My weigh-in days will be Friday though

September 23, 2019 First day of Fall -145.4 Monday
September 24, 2019 (last Spring/Summer challenge update)~ 144.3
9/27~ 142.0 great start to the challenge. I am losing so slow these days, so I am hoping by the end of next month to be in the 130's firmly. Even if it is only 139.9, lol.
October 4 ~142.0 same. I am with in 4 pounds of my maintenance goals, but it is proving to be a very difficult 4 to 6 pounds to get rid of. Maybe I will get somewhere next week.
10/11 ~ 141.4 Finally made some progress. Not much by any means, but it's progress and I will take it.
10/18 ~ 141.5 was lower all week. I didn't even have a beer last night and I still am up a bit.
10/25 ~ 143.9 I have been high all week. Don't think I am getting anywhere this month
10/31~ 140.7 Not great I know!
November 1~ 141.5 Why can't I get under 140 uuugghh
11/8 ~ 143.4 was lower all week, but went out for pizza for my husband's bday. Hopefully I will be back down next week.

Original starting weight (March 2013) - 175.4
Original MFP starting weight (January 2018) - 168.2
September 23, 2019 starting weight - 141.8 (ten-day rolling average 142.7)
Ultimate goal - Maintain around 143 (range between 140 - 150)
September:
September 1: 143.0 (10-day average 145.8) First day of Meteorological Fall.
September 23: 141.8 (10-day average 142.7) First day of Astronomical Fall. So I'll go with this date and make Monday my weigh-in day this season.
September 26: 142.8 (10-day average 142.6) First day of challenge as requested by Tish.
September 30: 139.4 (10-day average 141.4)
September Goal: 143
September Actual: I passed my goal and kept losing. Not a real problem yet, and I'm happy with it. August wasn't a great month for me. September was my catch up. Now if I can hold steady, I'll be chuffed.
October
October 7: 139.2 (10-day average 140.0)
October 14: 144.4 (10-day average 141.1)
October 21: 142.2 (10-day average 142.4)
October 28: 142.6 (10-day average 143.3)
October 31 - 144.6 (10-day average 143.8)
October Goal: 143
October Actual: Uh oh. I'm up from my monthly goal.
November
November 4: 146.0 (10-day average 143.8)
November 11: 145.6 (10-day average 144.6) - checking in a day early this week as I'm going to be in a rush tomorrow at 05:30
November 18:
November 25:
Weight lost this week: Scale says I lost about half a pound, but my ten-day average is up almost a whole pound. 😖 🤯 My mass has been slowly climbing since the beginning of October. 😱 I'm still well below where I got in August, so all is not lost. In fact, it's really not that bad at all, it just looks like it to me sometimes. 😉 In reality, I'm still near the middle of my goal range, and my weighted moving average weight is just a couple pounds over my goal. But in my head I look at that graph and just see a line going up instead of holding steady or dropping back to my actual goal. In reality, I am actually below the initial goal I set a couple years ago when I started my current journey, so I just need to see this as success rather than failure. Isn't it funny how our brains tease us like this. Because I know I'm doing fine, but somehow it just doesn't feel like it. I know I'm not alone in this. Thanks for letting me rant about it. 👌
November Goal: 143.0
November Actual: Check back to see how this goes closer to the end of the month
Challenge Weight loss goal: Range between 142-148
Actual Weight loss for the challenge: I'm still in my goal range by scale and average, just not by as much as I prefer. I had expanded my goal range, but I'm still using the old tighter one. For now I just need to stop the gain.
Good luck with YOUR goals! 🍀

Notes: This is looking good. Scale is gradually moving down after the weird whoosh and spike. Used my time of work wisely - figured out the menus for both Thanksgiving and a family get together this Sunday that shouldn't set me back. Reading the book Quench which goes into the science of hydration and gives some great strategies for maximizing hydration from food. Highly recommend it!

9/26~ Challenge begins 196.6
October 3 191.6 Woo Hoo! What a turbulent week of travel, ups & downs! Fighting very hard for success. 180’s I am talking to YOU…..Bring it ON!
10/10 191.8 I made a ton of progress this week that was completely wiped out by 2 trips in the same week including lots of car sitting/driving & restaurant food. I hope a lot of this is fluid retention. I picked up some parsley, I shall be drinking a parsley tea today!
10/17 189.0 Working it back down. Not always easy when my own body fights me with several health conditions & many medications. As time goes on, I am becoming more & more aware of my limitations and the reasons for my fluctuations. That is a gift.
10/24 188.4 I am working so hard for progress. Its such a slow process these days. Ah…to be young again!
10/30 188.0 Travel today.
November 7 186.0 More progress than I realized for this past week. I’ve been stuck the last few days so I am going to rethink things. If it keeps up, an egg fast may be in order. Or a beef & butter fast. Last resort though as I don’t find either very pleasurable!
11/14 188.8 This is not going according to plan. I’ve got to get a grip!

November 25:
Weight lost this week: Scale says I lost about two full pounds, but my ten-day average is up almost a mote. 😖 🤯 My mass was slowly climbing from October 1 through about November 11 (yeah -- I am kind of glad I checked in a day early because that was a heavy day). 😱 I never got out of my, arguably large, maintenance range. I never even got up to where I let myself get in August. I've been managing to wrestle back to my goal the last seven days. I'm back near the bottom third of my goal range, and my weighted moving average weight is just a couple pounds over my goal. 😉 I hope to report that my trending weight is back at goal next week. Wish me luck, and I hope you find YOUR success this week, too. 👌
November Goal: 143.0
November Actual: Check back to see how this goes closer to the end of the month. As of today: by scale -- it's pretty much there. By average -- I got a little tiny bit left to go.
Challenge Weight loss goal: Range between 142-148
Actual Weight loss for the challenge: I'm still in my goal range by scale and average, just not by as much as I prefer.2 -

Notes: This is looking good. I thought I had seen another weird whoosh, seeing 144.7 this week, but even with today's bounce I'm starting to be more confident with the scale moving down. Nice to see a downward line with both are the trend weight and projected loss. I've switched to morning workouts for more consistency and am applying some of the hydration strategies I learned in the book Quench.

9/26~ Challenge begins 196.6
October 3 191.6 Woo Hoo! What a turbulent week of travel, ups & downs! Fighting very hard for success. 180’s I am talking to YOU…..Bring it ON!
10/10 191.8 I made a ton of progress this week that was completely wiped out by 2 trips in the same week including lots of car sitting/driving & restaurant food. I hope a lot of this is fluid retention. I picked up some parsley, I shall be drinking a parsley tea today!
10/17 189.0 Working it back down. Not always easy when my own body fights me with several health conditions & many medications. As time goes on, I am becoming more & more aware of my limitations and the reasons for my fluctuations. That is a gift.
10/24 188.4 I am working so hard for progress. Its such a slow process these days. Ah…to be young again!
10/30 188.0 Travel today.
November 7 186.0 More progress than I realized for this past week. I’ve been stuck the last few days so I am going to rethink things. If it keeps up, an egg fast may be in order. Or a beef & butter fast. Last resort though as I don’t find either very pleasurable!
11/14 188.8 This is not going according to plan. I’ve got to get a grip!
11/21 186.8 Was a better number yesterday but I blew it. Still, a 2 lb loss this past week is nothing to sneeze at. I still need to get that grip!

I will be back for another round! Did way better during the summer challenge than I did in the Autumn one. So maybe I can keep that going.
Autumn Challenge SW - 155.4 EW - 151.9 Lost 3.5
Summer Challenge SW - 151.9 EW - 144.3 Lost 7.6
Challenge Starting Weight ~ 144.3 My weigh-in days will be Friday though
Challenge Goal Weight ~ 135-138 (ultimate goal weight)
September 23, 2019 First day of Fall -145.4 Monday
September 24, 2019 (last Spring/Summer challenge update)~ 144.3
9/27~ 142.0 great start to the challenge. I am losing so slow these days, so I am hoping by the end of next month to be in the 130's firmly. Even if it is only 139.9, lol.
October 4 ~142.0 same. I am with in 4 pounds of my maintenance goals, but it is proving to be a very difficult 4 to 6 pounds to get rid of. Maybe I will get somewhere next week.
10/11 ~ 141.4 Finally made some progress. Not much by any means, but it's progress and I will take it.
10/18 ~ 141.5 was lower all week. I didn't even have a beer last night and I still am up a bit.
10/25 ~ 143.9 I have been high all week. Don't think I am getting anywhere this month
10/31~ 140.7 Not great I know!
November 1~ 141.5 Why can't I get under 140 uuugghh
11/8 ~ 143.4 was lower all week, but went out for pizza for my husband's bday. Hopefully I will be back down next week.
11/15 ~ 140.6 Would love to post a 138.xxxx before Thanksgiving. We will see
11/22 ~ 138.7 I like this weight, finally. Hopefully I can keep it here

Original starting weight (March 2013) - 175.4
Original MFP starting weight (January 2018) - 168.2
September 23, 2019 starting weight - 141.8 (ten-day rolling average 142.7)
Ultimate goal - Maintain around 143 (range between 140 - 150)
September:
September 1: 143.0 (10-day average 145.8) First day of Meteorological Fall.
September 23: 141.8 (10-day average 142.7) First day of Astronomical Fall. So I'll go with this date and make Monday my weigh-in day this season.
September 26: 142.8 (10-day average 142.6) First day of challenge as requested by Tish.
September 30: 139.4 (10-day average 141.4)
September Goal: 143
September Actual: I passed my goal and kept losing. Not a real problem yet, and I'm happy with it. August wasn't a great month for me. September was my catch up. Now if I can hold steady, I'll be chuffed.
October
October 7: 139.2 (10-day average 140.0)
October 14: 144.4 (10-day average 141.1)
October 21: 142.2 (10-day average 142.4)

October 31 - 144.6 (10-day average 143.8)
October Goal: 143
October Actual: Uh oh. I'm up from my monthly goal.
November
November 4: 146.0 (10-day average 143.8)
November 11: 145.6 (10-day average 144.6) - checking in a day early this week as I'm going to be in a rush tomorrow at 05:30
November 18: 143.6 (10-day average 144.8)
November 25: 145.2 (10-day average 143.8)
Weight lost this week: Scale says I am gaining again -- 1.6 pounds in just a week! However; my ten-day average is down a pound. 😖 🤯 I am finding humor in my trend. My mass was slowly climbing from October 1 through about November 11. 😱 I put a stop to it and started losing again, and while my weight was on the way down, I could SEE the trend on the way down, but the trend algorithm said I was still gaining. Well, it finally caught up, and then the last four days I've kind of been gaining again, but the trend is still trying to convince me I'm losing. I will let the trend win! I will get back to goal! Those last few pounds, though; they're tenacious. They keep wanting to come back, and I keep trying to evict them. 😉 My trending weight is within a pound of goal, so I hope to report that it is BACK at that goal next week. Wish me luck, and I hope you find YOUR success this week, too. 👌
November Goal: 143.0
November Actual: Being a holiday week, I should probably send one final update on Friday to see how I did. As of today, I did not make this goal, but it's ok.
Challenge Weight loss goal: Range between 142-148
Actual Weight loss for the challenge: I'm still in my goal range by scale and average, just not by as much as I prefer.
Good luck with YOUR goals! 🍀

11/28 185.6 Travel this week set me back, but this is still an improvement over last week. I am determined that Thanksgiving will not be the start of my usual fall/winter spiral downward in defeat. I worry more about all the big city travel for shopping than I do about the actual holiday meals. The meals are one day (just don’t keep the leftovers! Give, Give, Give). The shopping season is 5-6 weeks of sitting in cars driving and eating in restaurants. The diabetes only complicates things. I’m going to have to plan wisely.

Notes: Weird week. Bounced up a bit, then pulled it back down. Had a couple of "off" days with boi workout and higher than normal sodium. Got back on track over weekend. Still no workouts, but lots of activity leading up to Thanksgiving dinner that helped. Had a light breakfast, and ate with moderation. We'll see what it looks like on the 30th.

Notes: And here we go for December! Christmas is not a major challenge for me. I'm not a baker, and our family celebration is fairly subdued. Ham is the expected meal, and I'll need to get creative to avoid the sodium bump.
December 30th will mark the one year point for this leg of my weight loss journey. I never dreamed it would take nearly a year to drop 13 pounds, and I still have 10 to go 😳 I've learned a lot about this post-menopausal body, and I'm still befuddled. But I'm determined.
