    I drove and travelled a lot this week, so I am pleased with this result, however small.

    Thursday check in

    Food - Logged & on target
    Exercise - lots of walking in the rain for trick or treating
    Water - 1.8l

    My Halloween plan worked and I stayed on target. I have been up since 5:30 am for the hockey tournament and we have already been to the arena for a game and back. We are heading out again shortly for the next game. I am so happy to be staying with my mom as it makes the healthy food choices so much easier!

    @timibotkin - Nice loss! I am so glad that you had vacation and some time to rest. I hope that your upcoming echocardiogram goes well too. I am just in awe of your strength and dedication through your your treatments. You are doing great!!

    @sleepymom5 - Great to maintain! Considering the condition of your knee, you are doing great! No stairs and maybe some warmer weather in Florida will be great for your knees. Hope that you can have some down times and a break from all of that driving. Btw, that is my mom’s neighbour’s house in the photo. She lives in an area with a lot of retirees, so my son was pleased that not many kids were out in the neighbourhood and he got a ton of candy!

    @pacsnc6 - That is less than 1 lb and considering your travelling and family get together, you did a great job

    @lennoncap - Impressive steps!! Nice loss too!

    @Julie8468 - Your post made me laugh! That is just a little gain, & could very well be the sugar or sodium from the Halloween treats!

    @tryingagain5 - It is a new month today, so a fresh slate! Keep at it and even a small change per day is a good thing!

    @ljdanny - Way to go with the eating on Halloween!! I cannot believe that your Fitbit account was pirated. That is terrible!

    @cyndiestuff - My “can’t” is that I can’t drink enough water, which then becomes, I won’t drink enough water. Just changes my mindset immediately!

    As Pam noted above, it is a new month! We switch over to the November thread on Sunday, but please feel free to jump on now and introduce yourself if you have not already. It is a great time to think about our goals and what we want to do by year end. It may not even be about weight loss, but it could be working out more, making healthier food choices, getting more sleep, feeling better, or practicing more self care. Let’s be good to ourselves this month and finish strong in 2019!!

    Well yesterday I was able to satisfy my hunger with oatmeal so I guess that might’ve helped me have a little weight loss today!! I’m just taking this a day at a time.

    So happy! 4 pounds in 2 weeks. I have 8 days to get to my next star.
    Super busy work day.

    Getting ready to head to Florida tomorrow. I am actually packed for a change lol! I just have to do my carry on. I hopefully will be able to get on here in the morning. If not, I will check in at some point. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

    @timibotkin Nice loss, especially with all that you have going on. I am glad you were able to get away. You certainly need a break. It also sounds like your oncologist is keeping a good eye on you. Hopefully everything starts to settle down soon for you, it has been a long road. Hugs!
    @Cafelelia The scale is still going in the right direction. That is wonderful, especially with all the running around, traveling, preparing to travel and hockey games that you do. I am glad that you are at your Moms too. One less hurdle to go over. Enjoy the hockey!
    @lennoncpa I actually am going to put that on my to do list for Florida, find a little recipe for oatmeal that I like. I was reading about slowly adding non processed food and push out the processed ones. I am thinking of replacing my breakfast bar with oatmeal. Maybe add apple or berries and get a fruit in there too...I agree too, one day at a time. If it wasn't for this wedding, I wouldn't be in a rush either lol! I just want a little weight off so the dress fits a little nice.
    @Mrsbell8well You are going to hit that goal way early! You are doing great!

    Don't let the weekend ruin your progress. We can enjoy the weekend and still stay on track. Remember to plan, exercise, drink water, eat on plan, and prepare for the upcoming week. We can do this!!

    Friday Check In
    Food - logged & on target
    Water-88 oz
    Exercise - 15 stationary bike, 15 treadmill and PT
    Steps-6,680 steps
    Good day yesterday until about 4. My husband brought home food from the bar. He NEVER does that. I ended up eating 1/2 of the cheesesteak eggrolls and a new dessert. They never had dessert before. It was cinnamon apple roll ups with nutella. I ate about 2/3 of that. I do these things and then think why after. I had salad and chicken planned. I decided to not have dinner as it was so close to dinner time. I was so busy packing and getting things together for my trip that I didn't notice I was hungry until it was time to go to bed anything. So even though I went off plan, I consider it a success. I have been trying IF a little. Past two days I was able to do 15 hours and 14 hours. It is a start. I have a harder time with the morning so the key is not eating after dinner and eating at a normal dinner hour. My family tends to eat late. Ok...I am babbling and I really have to run. Today I am going to walk 30 min in the airport. I am not going to be able to get anything done before I leave or I would do the stationary bike for 15. I am not pushing anything because I have to rest my knee. Hope everyone has a great day!


    @tryingagain5 I am glad your pain is almost gone. I am interested to hear if the fatigue is related. I love the idea of reverse trick or treating! How fun! We don't get many either as I live on a main road. We used to have a little bon fire with our neighbors on Halloween and handed out our candy together. I don't know why we don't do that anymore...
    @hope002 Nice loss!! Hope things are going well. I was thinking of you, I did IF last night for 15 hours and the night before for 14 hours!
    @Cafelelia You are so quick with getting the weights in! Lol! Thanks! I do try I promise!

    @hope002 nice loss! Looks like onderland is calling to you.
    @Cafelelia I am so impressed you had a loss with everything on your agenda. There is always a way and you found it! Great job. And cute pic!
    @nstephenson01 wow what a loss Nancy! Looks like we are going to hit our goals before thanksgiving! Very proud of you.
    @sleepymom5 travel safe. Your so close to onderland Pam. You can do it!

    The last 3 days I have stayed on track. I have been eating really well and a light dinner. Each night I have felt like I needed/wanted just a little more, something sweet or and extra serving. Each night I have said no. The results have been worth it. Tomorrow I can finally make those pumpkin donuts. I have a plan for the week. I am also planning to decrease my weigh ins. Skipping today and tomorrow. My clothes fit so much better with just a few pounds down. I bought some Lands End rose color corduroys on line. I was worried since they said the waist runs small. They fit perfectly!!! I haven’t taken my measurements since goal in July. I will take them this morning. I used to do it the first of every month.
    I am definitely back in diet/health/losing weight mentality. It’s a big difference how we approach things. @nstephenson01 had it right. A lot of times we know what we want. And we can really deeply want it, but unless we do something about it nothing will change. I was really wanting to get back to goal the last few months but this time I’m doing it. Out with desserts, wine, unplanned snacks, mindless eating, second servings. They have no place on my plan if I don’t reach my weekly goal. I reached my goal and enjoyed my spot of whiskey on the rocks last night. I am tracking for success!

    @lennoncpa are you in your 30’s!!! Great job! I bet you were so happy to see that number.
    @tryingagain5 I am so glad chiro seems to be working for you. Make sure to drink lots of water on those days. Flush out the toxins.
    @timibotkin your a trooper. Hang in there. Your in my prayers. Good luck this week. Glad you had a small rest break.
    @sleepymom5 I love making seasonal oatmeal. I will share my pic from yesterday. I chopped apples into a bowl. Cooked oats in unsweetened vanilla almond milk, cinnamon, raisins and poured that hot over my apples. Topped with chopped pecans. Tasty!

    Good morning! I’m disappointed! Last week I weighed in on my home scale, I didn’t go to my WW meeting. According to my home scale, I was down, but the WW scale shows a gain.

    The last couple of days were not as good as the beginning of the week, so I guess I cancelled out some of the good I did with a couple days of bad behavior.

    Back at it again! A new week to reset! I can do this! I’m going to make November my month!

    Have a great day & weekend!😊

    Friday check in

    Food - logged & on target
    Exercise - rest day
    Water - 1.8 l

    Yesterday was a good day and was able to make mostly healthy choices in spite of the driving and multiple games. We just finished the last game and the tournament is finally over, other than the team dinner this evening. My son’s team did not win the tournament, but my son got a shut out yesterday (he is a goalie) and we were all thrilled with that. The team dinner is at a chain restaurant with a fixed menu, so I cannot plan entirely. I have a high level plan though. I have a scratchy throat, which is not a surprised given the time in cold arenas, but I am going to try to fit in a walk before the dinner to get some exercise.

    Remember that we switch over to the November thread tomorrow!

    @Zumba_Luvah - Congratulations! You are knocking it out of the park, and keep doing what you are doing!

    @kirsten11872 - That’s right, just look forward and make that plan for November! You can do this and you are!

    @Cyndiesstuff - That is your November plan right there, and yes you can!!

    @mrsbell8well - You are doing great and you will reach that goal with ease! What a yummy breakfast!

    @sleepymom5 - Hope that you have had a great flight to Florida and the trip will be a nice opportunity to focus on yourself. Glad that you tried IF! Again, given what is going on with your knees, your steps and exercise are impressive!

    @hope002 - Another great loss! Congratulations!

    @tryingagin5 - So happy that your pain is almost gone! I love the reverse Halloween idea!

    Daily Check in: Friday
    Food: Pre-logged; ate on plan but dinner was later than usual
    Water: not enough
    Exercise & steps: 90 minute yoga class, 30 minute dog walk;12,685 steps

    Have been able to get back over 10,000 steps the last two days which makes me oh so happy! We have somewhat decent weather in the forecast.... at least no snow! I keep forgetting to start my IF app so need to get back on track with that. Weight is up a little.. hope its due to yesterday's yoga class. It was a little intense with lots of thigh exercises. Do you all remember Suzanne Sommer's Thighmaster? LOL

    @tryingagain5 I love your reverse trick or treating! How fun!! I was going to say to be sure to drink plenty of water following your chiropractor appointments to flush out toxins but @mrsbell8well beat me to it. :smiley:

    @sleepymom5 Hope you have a nice trip to FL. Mmmmm mmmm mmmm I love bar/pub food. I always walk while I'm at the airport... good for you.

    @mrsbell8well my weight is back up a bit. I may have slipped up without realizing it. Time to reflect on Thursday & Friday and rein things in where necessary. Not letting you get too far ahead of me :smile:

    @cyndiesstuff Great start, stop and keeps. Let's make November our month!

    @kirsten11872 my weight is up a bit also. No worries... new week/new month! We got this!! We're going to make it a great November!!

    Nice loss @Zumba_Luvah! 180's here you come!!

    Great job busy momma @Cafelelia!

    See y'all on the November thread!!

    @sleepymom5
    It will be interesting to see if the fatigue is related to the adjustments. Next appointment is Monday so I will find out then.
    @Mrsbell8well
    Thanks, me too. I probably don't get enough water after the chiro appointments. I"ll have to work harder on that. Thanks for telling me.
    @Cafelelia
    Thanks, me too. Yes, we had lots of fun with the reverse trick or treat. It was well received by our neighbors. We are trying to get a condo community group started and have a FB page started and already had quite a few neighbors join. We hope to do some neighborhood events and get to know the neighbors we don't know and the ones we already know we would like to know better.
    @nstephenson01
    Reverse trick or treat was great fun! I can't take credit for it.😉 It was my friend's idea.
    I will have to increase my water intake on my chiro appointment days. Thanks for the advice. I know to do that after I get a massage. Not sure why I didn't think of that for the adjustments.

    @Mrsbell8well yes I’m in my 30’s and I want to keep it there!! Such a struggle to get down and it’s goes up so fast!

    @sleepymom5 it’s crazy that I can eat the same calories worth of oatmeal and lose weight when if it was the same amount of calories in chips or other junk food, I most definitely would gain weight! Plus I actually feel good when I eat a lot of oatmeal!! Isn’t that interesting?

    Sat 11/1 check in
    Food: logged but over
    Water:48 oz
    Exercise: none yet. Feeling pretty tired today, still fatigued from the chiro appointment or just from working 3rd shift.🤔 I know I didn't get enough sleep this week. Plan on going to bed early tonight.
    My new mattress got delivered today. It's going to be interesting to actually sleep on a good mattress. I've been sleeping on one that needed replacing a long time ago.

    @Mrsbell8well That oatmeal looks yummy! I am going to try that. Do you remember you posted a pic of acorn squash. Do you remember what you put in that?
    @cyndiesstuff That sounds like an awesome plan! You are ready for an awesome November!
    @kirsten11872 No matter what the scale shows, you had a good week. I know you are disappointed but think how much better you did than the weeks before! I agree, Novemember is going to be your month!
    @Zumba_Luvah Nice loss! I guess things are going well!
    @Cafelelia I am sure you will be happy to get home. How awesome your son had a shut out! I hope dinner went well.
    @nstephenson01 I am glad that the weather is getting warm enough to walk. It is too early to be cooped up. I am sure the dogs love it too!
    @lennoncpa It is interesting how different food affects you. The oatmeal may fill you up more too. What a cute foster dog!
    @tryingagain5 I am interested in what the doctor is going to say. I am also glad to hear that the mattress is helping you sleep. I think the fatigue could be any of those things. Sometimes your body needs a rest day!
