    Hello everyone.

    Thankyou @tiabirdie56 for starting up a new thread.
    I fell off the wagon a couple months ago and just kind of gave up with things being so hectic at home, then unfortunately a couple of weeks ago a close and dear family member passed away and I lost control of myself.
    I am going to finish this year with focusing on getting myself back into routine with healthy eating and calorie counting, and slowly start bringing exercises back into my daily routines, and I’ll get back to these monthly threads in the new year for anyone who would like to join me with them.

    I’m so sorry I let you all down the past couple months :’(

    But I have just read through ALOT of posts from this thread and you’ve all done amazing. Well done to you all and end this year with a bang :)

    Hope you all have a a merry Christmas and a happy new year :) xx

    Heaviest weight: 175.4 in early 2013.
    Original MFP starting weight (January 2018) - 168.2
    September 30 starting weight - 139.4 (ten-day rolling average weight 141.4)
    October (and November and December) goal - 143
    Ultimate goal - Range between 142 - 148

    I report scale weight and (ten day average weight).

    September 30 - 139.4 (10-day average 141.4)
    October 31 - 144.6 (10-day average 143.8)
    November 30 - 146.2 (10-day average 144.4)

    December 1: 146.0 (10-day average 144.6)
    December 8: 145.4 (10-day average 145.0)

    Total loss for October, November & December: No way around it; my mass is up even though my scale weight is down for the week. My ten-day average weight is up for the week, and BOTH are up since the end of September.

    But I can look back to a year ago, and I seem to have put on weight in October, November, and December. Guess what? Same thing in 2017. Back in fall/winter 2017 I was still trying to lose, so it was harder to deal with. Last year I was in maintenance, but had a fall bounce until January. This year that bounce is smaller, so I'll try to be ok with it and work on getting back to where I want to.

    Posting here until @SamanthaLouiseMence comes back.

    Total loss for October, November & December: I may have stopped the multi-month gain. Scale weight is way down for December, but my average weight is up a tiny bit since November 30. I'm still up since the end of September. My scale weight is at goal today... finally. I hope it's not an anomaly.

    Thanks Tish. I'm still going to post here in honor of Sam. She'll be back to join us, and when she does, I'll quit posting here.

    @mtaratoot, Samantha is aware of the December thread and has posted there.

    Thanks Tish. I saw @SamanthaLouiseMence posted in both the October AND the December thread. Her post here is seven posts above this one.

    Posting here is my little way of keeping Sam in mind while she goes through troubling times. Is there some reason you don't want me to keep posting here? Or maybe you are enjoying posting here, too. That would be keen. Yeah -- I know; it's dated. Still; this series of posts helped me on my journey, and I want to honor Sam.

    @mtaratoot, Nope, I have no reason to keep you from posting here. Juat wanted you to know about the December thread. Keep posting here as long you want.❤
