October Loss ~
Thoughts: Scale weight is level after popping up to 148.1. That's pulled the trend weight up a bit as well. Haven't felt well the last couple of days, but have stayed the course on exercise. Glad to see it edging down.
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 - 3733 ⬇
- Hit active minutes goal of 20 minutes daily - 40 ⬇
- Hit strength training goal of 3 days on & 1 rest day✔
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 ✔ Next: 50, Rest
- 10/9-12 - 50, 50, 50, Rest
- 10/13-16 - 50, 50, 50, Rest
- 10/17-20 - 50, 50, 50, Rest
- 10/21-24 - 50, 50, 50, Rest
- 10/25-28 - 50, 50, 50, Rest
- 10/29-31 - 50, 50, 50, Rest 11/1

@LisaW57, I just noticed that you are doing scapula pushups. Great exercise for strengthening the serratus anterior muscle. I just started doing them again recently. I injured both my shoulders when I was younger (by over extending, reaching behind me!) and also have wrist tendon damage, so no traditional push-ups for me any more. I just found a video with some exercises I will incorporate.3

Well after all the drinking and eating in London I managed to have a huge gain before heading into surgery. Sigh. Well the good news is the surgery is done and I’m now home and recovering and ready to get this show back on the road. I will be dealing with some swelling so I’m hoping to at least get myself back in the 170’s this month. Next weigh in will be Saturday. Thanks for the challenge Sam !8 -

Total loss for October: Scale says 0.2 pounds, and ten-day average is down 1.4.
I did really well in September, and I am holding steady in October. I had gained some earlier in the year, and August wasn't good. In September I got back down to my goal weight, and then actually lost a little more. Fortunately I've stopped losing, and it's been steady a couple weeks. I may actually lower my goal just a bit because I'm feeling fine with the amount I'm eating, and that will give me some extra room to splurge when I want to.
It's really great to see so much success this month already among the folks in this thread. Way to go everyone!

@dawnbgethealthy, You were probably much less stressed Dawn. What vacations are supposed to provide. @mtaratoot is right, maybe you need more vacations!4
