    I have found Monday (M), Wednesday (W), Friday (F) weigh-in accountability works best for me. I've pinned the weekly weigh-in days for the challenge.

    📌 1st - 147.0 (Trend Weight 147.4)
    4th (F) - 147.5 (Trend Weight 147.3)

    October Loss ~

    Thoughts: I've been bloated for a couple of days with a fluid gain. That aside, I've been trying to move to an IF schedule. I don't eat after 8pm. That works for me. I've been moving the first meal up gradually. I'm at 11-noon. Once I moved past 9, my loss started to stall. I'm also getting cravings for sweets. I've tried this before and seen the same thing. I think I'll move back to eating breakfast and see if I can get some progress.

    October Game Plan & Goals: (Use stats from Fitbit 7 Day Summary)
    • Move to 2-week meal plans - Need to start writing them down
    • Log meals & exercise daily in MFP
    • Focus on daily 500 calorie deficit goal
    • No calorie intake after 8pm.
    • No calorie intake before 11am, edging towards noon for a 16:8 IF
    • Hit Fitbit step goal of 5000 - 4056 ⬆
    • Hit active minutes goal of 20 minutes daily - 25 ⬆
    • Hit strength training goal of 3 days on & 1 rest day Back on track 😏

    Strength Training:
    Squats, lunges, push-ups (elevated), arm circles, side bends, & tricep lifts. Adding planks and transitioning regular push-ups to scapula push-ups.
    • 10/1-4 - 50, 50, 50, Rest ✔
    • 10/5-8 - 50, 50, 50, Rest ✔
    • 10/9-12 - 50, 50, 50, Rest ✔
    • 10/13-18 - missed
    • 10/19 - 2.5 hour cardio day ✔
    • 10/20-23 - 50, 50, 50, Rest (mini-workout) ✔
    • 10/24-27 - 50, 50, 50, Rest
    • 10/28-31 - 50, 50, 50, Rest

    IF doesn't work for everyone, although studies do show that it works better for men than women.
    I will be interested in seeing the results of you adding breakfast back in to fire your metabolism up for the day.

    I'm hoping to reach the top of my maintenance by the end of this month (138). By Thanksgiving I would like to be at my goal weight and maintaining with in the 3-4 pounds (135-138) I have given myself for my crazy fluctuations. I am losing at a really slow rate though and seem to be able to mess up and get off track very easily now that I am so close. My goal this month is to stay on track everyday with only Sunday's being a little more lenient. No other cheat days for any reason!

    Original starting weight - 178 July 2018
    October starting weight - 140.9
    October goal - 138
    Ultimate goal - 135 -138


    1st -146.5 this is from a Sunday of way to many drinks and tailgate food. No more of this allowed.
    3rd - 143.2 already lost a ton of the bloat, but have been high all week. I think due to a medication change
    10th - 142.9 I guess every little bit counts. I was hoping for a lower number though.
    17th - 140.9 back to exactly where I was at the end of Sept. Maybe I will see a new number here in a couple of days.
    24th - 144.6 still sore from a workout a couple of days ago and dinner out for my son's 20th bday!

    @Now505050 Unsolicited advice warning: 1200 calories is nice for a jump start - having some quick weight loss is seriously motivating! But I'd recommend eating more long-term - you can easily lose weight with more calories. I cut calories a lot between 200-180 and I did lose quickly, but got stuck @ 180 for a long time. It wasn't until I started increasing calories that I started losing again. I initially gained 6lbs first, then dropped them and more quickly. It was hard to trust that I'd start losing again.

    FYI: 1200 calories is absolute max for me, with exercise if I want to lose weight. I might just be jealous.

    Thanks, this was just a short term compensation for a week of overeating. I've reset MFP for a pound a week loss and am in no big rush.

    October Loss ~

    Thoughts: Out of sequence check-in for big WHOOSH! It's such a big whoosh, after a month of pretty much steady state, I think I've blown Trend Weight's mind - it doesn't quite know how to calculate projected loss. 😂😂

    My only changes are that I've resumed breakfast, added a small snack, and increased calorie intake by 50-100 calories. Things that have always worked for me.

    That said, I'll probably spike again - that, too, is normal for me after hitting a new low. S'ok. I'm gonna ha happy dance that whoosh. I needed to see it 😊

    Female, age 59, 5'3" (probably only 5'2" by now)
    Starting weight was October 28, 2018 - 191
    Long term goal 112-115
    October 28.2019 goal - 151

    1st day back to my scale. I don't know what my starting point was for the month, I will use the 7th.

    October 07 - 156.7 - Hard to believe that I actually lost weight on my vacation to Dallas, what with Texas bbq, Taquieras, Margaritas etc. Mind you, I ice skated almost every day. Very pleased.
    October 08 - 160.3 - That gain in one days seems kind of crazy since I had good workouts and was well within my eating levels. Perhaps I had been dehydrated from the flights and am hydrated again.
    October 09 - 159.3
    October 10 - 159.9
    October 11 - 159.6
    October 12 - 158.0
    October 13 - 158.1 - Thanksgiving dinner tonight, but going to eat very light beforehand to save up calories for stuffing and gravy etc.
    October 14 - 159.8 - This could go up a little more still as all of that fabulous food and drink settles in.
    October 15 - 159.5 - Half a month yet, Thanksgiving leftovers mostly finished. Time to lose some weight : - )
    October 16 - 158.7 - just 2 pounds up from October 7th now.
    October 17 - 158.2
    October 18 - 159.2
    October 19 - 156.9 - 9 days until my 1 year since starting. I was hoping for 40 pounds in a year, but at least I am getting close.
    October 20 - 157.5
    October 21 - 158.5
    October 22 - 158.5
    October 23 - 158.4 - I have had 1100 calories left over many times over the last week because of all my calorie burning activity. Hoping for a big whoosh soon.
    October 24 - 156.8 - Another day with 1100 calories left over that I didn't consume. I have been eating around 1300 calories per day on average.
    October 24 - 156.3
    October 25 - 158.2 - Well, 3 days in the 156s this month - 3 more days to my one year start on MFP
    October 26 - 158.5

    October Loss ~

    Thoughts: Another WHOOSH! That's 4 pounds in 3 days. I'm eating, and I'm not coming anywhere near that kind of calorie deficit. It's either the scale catching up to the monthly deficit, or it's an anomaly. Either way, I'll take it.

    My only changes are that I've resumed breakfast, added a small snack, and increased calorie intake by 50-100 calories. Things that have always worked for me.

    That said, I'll probably spike again - that, too, is normal for me after hitting a new low. S'ok. I'm gonna keep up the happy dance. I need to see this. I'm in goal range for the month 😊

    October Game Plan & Goals: (Use stats from Fitbit 7 Day Summary)
    • Move to 2-week meal plans - Need to start writing them down
    • Log meals & exercise daily in MFP
    • Focus on daily 500 calorie deficit goal
    • No calorie intake after 8pm.
    • No calorie intake before 11am, edging towards noon for a 16:8 IF Stopped 10/23
    • Hit Fitbit step goal of 5000 - 3664 ⬆
    • Hit active minutes goal of 20 minutes daily - 29 ↔
    • Hit strength training goal of 3 days on & 1 rest day Back on track 😏

    Strength Training:
    Squats, lunges, push-ups (elevated), arm circles, side bends, & tricep lifts. Adding planks and transitioning regular push-ups to scapula push-ups.

    10/27 - 183.8 - just the usual fluid retention
    📌10/28 - 183 - Smh. Up and down the scale to end the month the same weight as I started. The good news is that this 183 is excess fluid and not October 1st excess fat. My body fat percentage decreased. My strength is improved, not to where it was this past Spring, but increasing. The scale weight will catch up eventually.
