    Also my scale with fat/muscle/water/bone percentage's worked today. It hasn't been since I started. I was told by someone from the Homedics company customer service, that it wouldn't work because of the increased amount of metal in my leg from a Tibial Plateau fracture in 2015. (I had barely weighed myself since then). It had worked before with metal from a ankle fracture in 1992. All I can think of that my fat percentage was too high before. Its now at 49% with 74 lb loss and 59 lb goal to lose yet. I know they arent super accurate but give you an idea of approximate.

    I'm very pleased (and still somewhat surprised that I continue to lose weight at the same rate, despite weighing less; I guess I'm just doing more). Bring on the next 3-month challenge and watch to see how fast I can gain weight over Christmas week, haha! Even vegans can overeat! I've treated myself to a "field roast" which is a vegan thingy made in BC. Usually I make myself a homemade tofurkey because the store-bought versions are way too salty for me. I am now 12.2 - 18.2 pounds from my goal weight (which I picture as being 120-126 pounds).

    FANTASTIC JOB!!!!!! Congrats...I love seeing these successes!!!

    SW 9/14/20-255 lbs (Heaviest wt second time, Started new job, less stress, not having a micromanager anymore!)
    UGW-122 lbs ( lowest wt 2009, kept off about 5 years, got lazy and then had a bad fx and had to learn to walk again)
    Surgery 5/3/21-240.5 lbs (gallbladder)
    MFP SW 5/14/21-232.2 lbs
    CGW-190 lbs

    CW start
    8/1/21-212.0 lbs
    8/8/21-209.2 lbs
    8/15/21-207.8 lbs
    8/22/21-204.4 lbs
    8/29/21-203.0 lbs. Doing well. Keeping on track. I'm not sure if I'll meet my goal of under 200 lbs by 9/1/21 AM weigh in but I can't complain about 9 lb loss! I'm doing a procedure prep today for Monday, of Clear liquids + so that may help me reach it! The good part of the prep! Routine test for a bad family history of 3 generations and praying for a clean bill of health! Started using my Elliptical last Sunday, instead of walking, as it was raining all day. Hadn't used it since pre 10/15. It burns a lot more calories and gets my heart rate up exponentially.

    9/1/21- 200 lbs. Well missed my goal by 0.1 lbs! But who can be upset with 12 lbs in a month loss? Without being hungry or exhausted. I also have a recent NSV. I had a Tibial Plateau Fracture in 10/15 and since have had to take 1 stair at a time and meet it with the other leg going up. (Coming down I can alternate most times.) I can now alternate steps going up. Losing 55 lbs has accomplished this! Oh well, ONWARD AND UPWARD. MAYBE IT SHOULD BE ONWARD AND DOWNWARD!
    ML-12 lbs
    MLGW-199.9 lbs

    9/1/21-200.0 lbs
    9/5/21-200.4 lbs- So my 9/1 weight showed the clear liquid prep I had to do obviously. So not surprised by the slight uptick in weight today. I did stay true to my calorie, carb restrictions and exercise routine though. Keeping my 195 lb goal for October1 and 190 lb for November1.
    I did 97 minutes/8 miles on my Elliptical this AM. I
    Longest time/mileage so far. I got my heart rate up to 140-150.
    9/12/21-198 lbs- I've been doing 99 minutes/8 miles, on my Elliptical on my 3 days off. Stayed true to my Net Carbs and calories this past week.

    9/19/21-194 lbs!!!! OMG! I can't believe this. I expected my weight loss to slow down by now. I may need to amend my End Goal! Still staying true to my Net Carbs, Calories and doing my Elliptical 99 minutes/8+ miles, 3 days/week on my days off.
    9/26/21-192.8 lbs Doing well, staying on track. Still doing Elliptical on my off work days.
    10/1/21-191.4 lbs
    ML-8.6 lbs- Under my month goal!!
    MLGW-195 lbs

    10/1/21-191.4 lbs
    10/3/21-189.8 lbs Met my goal but don't intend to back off. Maybe I'll get below 180!? Bumped up my Elliptical from 98 minutes today to a full 2 hours. Started as a 6 minute cool down and then did the extra 15 more. Felt great afterwards!
    10/10/21-188.8 lbs- down 23.2 lbs of challenge goal of 22 lbs! Upped my Elliptical to 130 min a few days ago.

    10/17/21-186.2 one-time 68.8.lbs. Upped my Elliptical this week to 140 minutes and did 151 minutes today because I wanted the 12 miles! I'm more than halfway through my 133 lbs loss goal.

    10/24/21-182.6 lbs, doing well, staying on track with calories, carbs, water and still doing Elliptical minimum 150 minutes 3x/week on my off days. Quite happy about my loss. Maybe I'll get under 180 lbs for 11/1/21. 72.4 lbs down so far! Got to keep on keeping on!

    Down 29.4 lbs of my 22 lb Aug-Oct challenge goal!

    10/27/21-180.8 lbs today, OMG!!!! So first goal was 190 lbs for 11/1, then second goal was 185 lbs, then third was 182.2 lbs. Now I'm thinking Fourth new goal for the month of180 lbs or maybe 179.9 lbs?

    Also got into size 12 jeans today easily! And a pretty leather belt I bought in Bermuda in 1992 fits again! Last hole but it works!

    10/31/21-181 lbs- Did my usual uptick before a drop after Wednesday. Went up to 182 lbs for 3 days and expected a drop. It did but only to 181.0 lbs. Was really hoping for the 180 or 179.9 lbs. But I'm going to be legalistic and count todays diet/exercise and count November 1, AM weigh in. But... I am down 31 lbs of my original Challenge Goal loss of 22 lbs.

    11/1/21-181.8 lbs. Didnt make my fourth goal for November. :-( But stayed on track with carbs, calories, water and exercise, so just normal weight fluctuation.
    ML-9.6 lbs
    MLGW-181.8 lbs

    CGWL-30.2 lbs
    CWL-73.2 lbs
