Weigh less than a month ago challenge

mom2zoienzion

Ok, I like this challenge and want to join. I am currently frustrated with weight loss because I had an injury and my exercise is extremely limited. I have gotten back onto a healthy keto diet and looking to lose about 58 pounds. I was 240 pounds on Nov 1st. I have dropped to 236.6 today on 11/18 I would like to be 230 by the end of the month. thanks for the motivation!

I’m glad you joined the fun. I’m
Finding this quite inspiring with all my color coding visuals!

I love our common use of averages & trends... the day to day hiccups are the result of too many variables!

Congratulations on doing maintenance well!! You got there before me & I learned a lot by seeing what you faved & how you handled it.

Maintenance is becoming easier each month, as I’m s l o w l y getting an idea of roughly what I can eat!

Yesterday was a pretty good day. Today; not so much....

I am in maintenance with a goal weight of 143 pounds and an allowable goal range of 140-150 pounds. So like the other day, it's not a TERRIBLE day, but not great.

August 26: 144.4 (ten-day average 147.1)
September 26: 142.8 (ten-day average 142.6)
October 26: 142.2 (ten-day average 142.9)

October 27: 143.0 (ten-day average 143.1)
November 27: 145.4 (ten-day average 144.1)

My only saving grace; I am less than I was three months ago.

I had an epiphany yesterday at the gym. Turned out to be a good day. Maybe today will be too. Started out that way. I don't really believe I am 3.2 pounds lighter than yesterday, but I trust my gauges, and that's what the scale tells me.

I am in maintenance with a goal weight of 143 pounds and an allowable goal range of 140-150 pounds.

August 28: 145.4 (ten-day average 146.9)
September 28: 139.0 (ten-day average 141.8)
October 28: 142.6 (ten-day average 143.3)
November 28: 142.2 (ten-day average 143.9)

Yay! I weigh less than a month ago, but if I was exactly the SAME as a month ago, this would still be a success. I am still dubious of my mass. Maybe I was full of salt, and the gym and lots of fluids helped flush 'em. Maybe the last few days weren't "real." Stay tuned to find out!

Yesterday was a fluke. I must have been dehydrated. Makes sense; my pants didn't feel like I'd dropped that much. Of the 3.2 pounds lighter I was yesterday morning, I found most of them this morning.

I am in maintenance with a goal weight of 143 pounds and an allowable goal range of 140-150 pounds.

August 29: 146.4 (ten-day average 146.7)
September 29: 140.4 (ten-day average 141.6)
October 29: 144.2 (ten-day average 143.6)
November 29: 145.0 (ten-day average 144.2)

Not today. I am up from a month ago today, more so by daily than average. I'm glad November doesn't have 31 days, because I don't like the number from October 31 as much as I do from September 1. I am going to be positive, though, since I'm down from the end of August. August wasn't a great month, but that makes the three-month look back seem more successful.

Spoiler

Not THAT bad.

Well whaddaya know? This morning I found more of that weight I thought I had lost.

I am in maintenance with a goal weight of 143 pounds and an allowable goal range of 140-150 pounds.

August 30: 146.0 (ten-day average 146.7)
September 30: 139.4 (ten-day average 141.4)
October 30: 145.0 (ten-day average 143.9)
November 30: 146.2 (ten-day average 144.4)

Another day up from a month ago, at least by scale weight. My average weight is, at least, down from three months ago, but I'm not so happy about the last few days. Fortunately, I am still alive and working towards success. You are too!

Well at least I stopped gaining. I'm back to where I was August 30, and I get to skip August 31....

I am in maintenance with a goal weight of 143 pounds and an allowable goal range of 140-150 pounds. I've been slowly gaining all quarter since October 1.

September 1: 143.0 (ten-day average 145.8)
October 1: 141.4 (ten-day average 141.4)
November 1: 143.2 (ten-day average 143.8)
December 1: 146.0 (ten-day average 144.6)

SIGNIFICANTLY up from a month ago. My average weight is, at least, down from three months ago. I WILL get back to goal. Not sure when, but I will find success. You will too!

December 1 no reading, one month earlier 89.6
December 2 today I am 91.0, a month ago I was 90.0 so I didn't pass the challenge. It's a different scale so that may have something to do with it, but it's very accurate to say that I have slacked for the last month
My measurements are 102, 105, 105
