OCTOBER Accountability - daily or weekly weigh in

dawnbgethealthy

Hi : - )
I am Dawn, 60, 5'2"
MFP Start weight October 28.18 191 pounds
UGW - 112-118

I was on another monthly challenge for a couple of years, but it hasn't been updated since July, so I was looking for another. Thank you for creating this @cachoey
I weigh daily, it keeps me accountable.

Week 1
10/1 -
10/2 - 143.5
10/3 - 143.5
10/4 - 143.5 - I normally fluctuate like crazy, so this staying at the same weight for 3 days is new to me.
10/5 - 143.1 - Good to see a slight drop. I was 141.0 in September, so trying to get back to that...and beyond.
10/6 - 142.1 - Getting back down to September's weight, working on it!
10/7 - 141.5 - I don't really want to count this first week as a weight loss, since I am still up (slightly) from September. Gaining weight and then losing that same weight is not weight loss to me. Onward : - )
Week 2
10/8 - 139.6 - New low for me, yay!
10/9 - 141.3 - I am fine with this number. I hope to touch the 130s again this month : - )
10/10 - 142.3 - I had hoped for a lower number as I go into 3 days of a feeding frenzy of Canadian Thanksgiving. I am particularly fond of gravy and stuffing. I will still be working out.
10/11 - 142.6 - No big gain yet from seasonal foods
10/12 - 143.0 - One more thanksgiving meal tonight
10/13
10/14
Week 3
10/15 - 143.6 - Time to get serious and bring this number down.
10/16 - 142.1 - I actually went back to bed this morning and weighed 141.2 when I woke up, but I will stay with the former number because it was at a time when I normally get up.
10/17 - 143.6 - Bad food choices yesterday
10/18
10/19 -
10/20 - 142.9
10/21 - 141.8 - Always good to see the scale go down.
Week 4
10/22 - 141.9 - I hit 141.0 Sept 20, and ended September at 141.7, so I am still in the gain margin
10/23 - 141.2 - Getting back to my September numbers now, I had hoped to be into the 130s this month.
10/24 - 140.6 - So much better.
10/25 - 141.2 - I'm good with that, but I don't want to go over the 141s again!
10/26 - 141.2 - Striving to get that .2 off before Wednesday weigh-in
10/27 - 140.6 - Slept in, so maybe not an accurate number.
10/28 - 139.6 - My 2 year anniversary of joining MFP at 191 pounds. Down 51.4 : - )
Final Week
10/29 - 140.2 - Yes, I celebrated weight loss by eating silly things.
10/30 - 140.5
10/31 - 140.1

I don't want to use the beginning of this month as a marker because I ended September at 141.7
I will say that I lost 1.6 pounds this month.

Overall a really good month! I first saw my “ending” weight on October 11th and it took 20 days to see it again. My water weight fluctuates by a lot and it’s hard to tell whether it’s fat loss/gain or water sometimes; but persistence pays off. Daily weighing keeps my head in the game even when I get a bit off track. Great work this month everyone!

🎃October Goals🎃
✅Weigh myself every day
✅Count every calorie
✅End the month weighing the same or less than the beginning!

10/19…207.4 Yay!
10/20…207.0 Made myself stop snacking last night. It wasn’t easy but I reminded myself that I wasn’t actually hungry. Old habits!
10/21…206.2 Come on 205 !!!!!!!

@cachoey Thank you for creating this challenge!!! Similar to @dawnbgethealthy , I was also a part of another group. Happy to join!

At the end of July, I reached my UGW of 110 lbs. Since then I've been trying to maintain under 115 lbs and try to start gaining muscle.

10/27 - 115.4 ... I used to track calories daily but mostly stopped during Sept to now. Trying to start again.
10/28 - 115

Final Week
10/29 - 116.4 ... Ouch! Last night, I had burrito bowl along with chips and queso for dinner, estimated 1750 cals for the whole day but perhaps the sodium at dinner had a bigger impact then I anticipated.
10/30 - 115.6
10/31 - 116.6 ... Yep, I really indulged on a Friday night. Just gotta keep going and keep my head in the game. Maintenance is not easy and I may slip up but I won't give up! I'm in it for the long run!

Well, this was not in my plans. But life has really changed for me these past two months. I recognize that I have been snacking on my children's leftovers as I am eating to deal with the stress of virtual school. I forget to add those calories to my log and they are adding up quickly on the scale. I see my doctor this week for additional follow up on my knee, as it is not getting better despite four months of rest. I need to drink more as well. Despite this setback, I do have more insight to what I need to change. Many of you had a great month. Congrats on your achievements and I wish you the best next month!
