    UGW: 175
    Oct SW: 220.3
    Oct GW: 215

    10/1 - 220.3 Ready for a great month. Positive vibes!
    10/2 - 219.4 Need to desperately break out of the 219-220 cycle. Travel day today so I know the scale won’t be happy tomorrow.
    10/3 - 220.8 Expected. Back to tracking my calories and carbs today!
    10/4 - 221.1 Fun with friends so wasn’t surprised.
    10/5 - 220.1 👍🏽
    10/6 - 220.8
    10/7 - 221.1
    10/8 - 221.1 3.25 mile walk completed today
    10/9 - 220.1
    10/10 - 222.7 WTF 🤬 How? Ate within my calorie goal, no snacking which is a big win, and 3 mile walk.
    10/11 - 223.1 😟 4mile walk yesterday
    10/12 - 220.5 🤷🏽‍♀️ Thinking about taking a break from the scale for a few days. It’s been a rollercoaster. We’ll see. It’s such a part of my daily routine.
    10/13 - 223.7 🤔 3 mile walk yesterday
    10/14 - 222.8 Staying on track even if the scale has been sucky
    10/15 - 222.6 Long day yesterday led to some snacking.
    10/16 - 224.5 Not a typo. Enjoyed a wonderful evening at the the Two Michelin star and voted #40 on the world’s best restaurants list, Suhring. I completed a 3.25 walk/run in the morning so maybe it kept me from being 225 😂. Back to the basics today!
    10/17- 224.6
    10/18- 222.9
    10/19 - 224.2
    10/20- 223.3 I’ve been walk/jog the past few days and definitely cut back on snacking. My body has been sore since I’ve started jogging more. I’ve also recently stopped taking my BP meds so I that could also cause some water retention. Even though I know I won’t hit my October goal, I will focus on being lower than I started.
    10/21- 224.4 Too sedentary yesterday and not enough sleep.
    10/22- 226.6 Whew, I need to make some changes. Hurt my toe so I wasn’t able to get in any exercise. Time to refocus, already planned my meals for today. I snacked all day long yesterday so I can only blame myself. I must get back on track!
    10/23- 228.5 Planned and logged my meals yesterday so I am a bit shocked at this number.
    10/24 - 224.8 not sure I believe this number. Probably a little dehydrated
    10/25- 223.8 I hope this sticks!
    10/26- 224.4
    10/27- 221.6 Wait, what?
    10/28- 221.5
    10/29 - 221 My spouse and I are working on moving more throughout the day. I think it has helped me turn things around because it was not looking good for a while.
    10/30 - 223
    10/31 - 221.3 Ended the month 1 pound up from where I started the month, but I learned a lot about my body and I think, what my body may need to lose weight. My November goal will be a repeat. Not discouraged, determined.

    October starting weight: 203.7 (9/30/2021)
    October goal weight: <200 (maybe this is the month) but then again I'll be happy to just maintain!
    Note: Lowest in August 201.1

    Date - Daily WI / 14 day TREND (Happy Scale Smoothing based on change over previous 14 days)
    10/1 - 204.0 / 203.6

    Day of reckoning … What’s the damage?
    10/18 - 207.6 /207.5
    Up 3.9 pounds since I left. Lots of walking & hiking 43+ miles for exercise however the opposite of activity was driving 2900 miles … so lots of sitting. Then the rest obviously is revealed in the scale … eating at restaurants 16 days for breakfast lunch & dinner, snacking daily on M&Ms, not enough water, too much alcohol. I’m not surprised. If I had just ordered better and not given into biscuits, fries, etc it would have been much better. But it is what it is. Now to focus and tackle the gain before it gets comfortable.
    10/19 - 207.3 / 207.6
    10/20 - 206.2 / 207.3
    10/21 - 207.1 / 207.3

    10/24 - 206.8 / 206.9
    10/25 - 205.9 / 206.6
    10/26 - 207.0 / 206.8 - Meals were on point. Hummus & chips, peanut butter, ice cream, king size snickers ... not sure why the 1-5pm timeframe had me munching through all this junk. Scale tells the tale.
    10/27 - 208.9 / 207.4 🎂 Celebrating too much this week
    10/28 - 207.8 / 207.6
    10/29 - 208.5 / 208.0 @ fishing camp 🎣
    10/30 - 207.9 / 208.0 @ fishing camp 🎣
    10/31 - 209.0 @ fishing camp 🎣

    Completely disappointed in myself gaining 5.3 pounds this month.
    NOTE TO SELF:
    I need to quit losing the same pounds over and over. If you are tired of starting over, STOP giving up.

    ******************************th?id=OIP.wymjGPTasxKavbu0sBNaPAHaEy&pid=Api&P=0&w=361&h=269******************************



    10/01-…...187.0…..Well, there I am, off to a bad start. I had a full-on binge last night so this is not surprising. Today I will try to compensate as best I can but tomorrow may be a travel day. That means restaurant meal and less than normal movement. Ugg, why does it have to be such a rough road?

    10/02-.…..185.0…..I worked outside yesterday on painting and staining. Over 16,000 steps back & forth into the house. 6 flights of stairs and 2900 calorie burn overall for the day. That helped. I stuck to my guns and avoided over-snacking last night which is my #1 downfall. It all paid off. Today is travel so tomorrow the scale will be up again due to restaurant meal and lots of car sitting/driving but no worries. I will quickly turn it back around.

    10/03-.…..187.0…..Well there is the uptick I expected. My goal today is to work it back down and not let it pull me in the wrong direction any further. Rain all day and thunderstorms expected too. Lots of workers will be here today again. No privacy until late tonight after 9:00 but I will try to go up & down my steps in the house, at the very least.

    10/04-.…..187.2…..Some unexpected travel yesterday which took me away for about 4 hours late afternoon until evening. However, the shorter trip did not blow my dietary goals. I just lacked movement and as much water as I would normally drink. I hope today goes smoother.

    10/05-.…..186.8…..I did sneak in a few extra calories last night after I closed out, but not enough to hurt the scale. I’m so glad to see a drop today. It’s time to see 185 point anything again. Hopefully in the next couple of days.

    10/06-.…..184.6…..Body functions worked good yesterday (finally). Nice to see a drop on the scale and find out where I really am.

    10/07-.…..184.8…..A normal fluctuation. All is well and yesterday was a good day. I am so happy to hanging around in the 184 range. Aiming for another good day today!

    10/08-.…..185.6…..I have no idea in this world of ours why there was a gain. My macros were good, my calories were in the green, I had even more exercise than I logged. Nothing too salty to eat. Perhaps my body is just compensating a little for the large recent drops. In any case, I am still down from this round’s start so I’ll not sweat it and just trust the process.

    10/09-.…..184.0…..After the strange weight yesterday, this is the adjustment that is overdue. It was another good day. It rained all day so my exercise level was low. However, my diet was on point and I got to babysit my 3 yr old DGS. That is always a plus! And the bonus was lots of steps up and down the stairs chasing him. I honestly just can’t get enough of his face and his bright eyes!


    10/10-.…..185.6…..I didn’t expect that big of an uptick. I did go over calories by the cost of a small yogurt last night but that wasn’t so bad. Daughter and DGS moved back in late last night after trouble at home. She brought Chinese which we split and fit into my calorie allowance (at the time). I’m thinking sodium. I’ll have to really watch it today which will be difficult with others here. I’ll have to readjust things.

    10/11-.…..185.6…..(Trend Weight 188.1)….. My daughter brought in over $150.00 worth of Halloween Candy she had at home. OMGosh. I’m in trouble! Doing my best but my willpower is not the greatest. It’s like me being in a restaurant where I actually have to practice restraint, and we all know I haven’t mastered that skill yet. Oh Boy! She bought the candy for a costume Halloween party she was going to have which is now cancelled due to her current circumstances. I will try hard to do good today.

    10/12-.…..185.6…..(Trend Weight 187.9)…..I had a talk with my daughter about that candy. She made a wonderful plan to GET IT OUT OF THE HOUSE. Good day yesterday all around. I wish the scale had reflected it. Travel today so I expect a bit of an uptick tomorrow. I always do better at home with more movement and less extravagance in my eating. I’m taking it in stride. It’s all part of the process.

    10/13-.…..187.0…..(Trend Weight 187.8)…..Started the day horribly with my grandson age 3 who wouldn’t stop screaming, writhing on the floor and kicking. He was not in a good mood at all. I already feel drained. Today is not going to be a good day. That is clear. Poor little fella has been uprooted from his home and so I understand his frustration. But it doesn’t make it any easier, especially physically. It took two of us getting kicked in the face, just to get him standing to get his clothes on. I’m already reminding myself about every 3 minutes that I will not emotionally eat today or that I will not take the easy way out and eat something that doesn’t require a lot of planning due to exhaustion. That usually has more calories and carbs. Uptick on the scale is from travel yesterday. I’ve got to try to offset that today while figuring out how to deal with 4 different people and 4 different eating tastes and habits including my Autistic son and his white food. 7 workers expected throughout the day today, overlapping. Last one will leave about 9:30 pm. I’m not looking forward to this day. DGS sets the whole tone for all of us in the morning.

    10/14-.…..186.2…..(Trend Weight 187.6)….. I love love love all the posts since yesterday. So funny, so inspiring, so caring. Love all the pics too. Thanks everyone for the inspiration!

    10/15-……185.6…..(Trend Weight 187.4)….. Nice to see a drop. Travel today . Here comes the yo-yo.
    10/16-……185.8…..(Trend Weight 187.3)….. Not bad after travel. I’m hoping it’s finished with it’s final vote. I don’t see the possibility of my making goal this month unfortunately, but I do know I can make more progress. Going for it!

    10/17-.…..186.2…..(Trend Weight 187.2)….. I am still upticking from the travel the other day, which I expected. No TMI x2 so that is not helping either. Yesterday was an all-around good day. Hoping to stick to my guns again today even with my daughter home all day eating, cooking, snacking and munching. No sir, no me!

    10/18-.…..185.2…..(Trend Weight 187.0)….. That’s better. I had another good day yesterday with dietary goals though the exercise is still slacking with the lack of privacy in my home. I can’t wait for this particular renovation to be done! Today is pre-op testing at my doctors which is about 11 miles from home so no restaurants are necessary. Deep nasal covid test (oh joy!), EKG, A1C and the blessings check-up for the surgery Friday at the University Hospital. I will be gone from Thursday until Saturday night so I may not post. I am dreading the deep nasal test today.

    10/19-.…..186.6…..(Trend Weight 186.9)….. Too many snacks yesterday. Several people stopped by bearing food (sweet) gifts giving support to upcoming surgery. I thought I had it under control, it really feels like I did. However, due to the time constraints, I didn’t log the last few days. Apparently I ate more than I thought. A total lack of exercise too. I will try to do better today but I think I may be nervous eating as well.

    10/20-.…..185.0…..(Trend Weight 186.8)….. A much better day of eating but no sleep last night. Too many thoughts rolling around in my head. I hate when I can’t control that. I hope today will be okay with my severe lack of sleep. I’m going to try to push more water today and get outside a bit when it’s not raining. However, I leave tomorrow morning for my surgical trip so there will be packing and such.

    10/21-.…..185.2…..(Trend Weight 186.8)….. A good day yesterday but a bit too much bread with the apple bread I had for a snack with black coffee. I am leaving today for my surgery in the morning. Thanks to everyone for the well-wishes, the prayers and the good vibes. I will check in when I can. Keep going everyone!

    10/22-.…..DNW…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)….. Surgery was almost cancelled as my glucose was at 366 Fasting that morning. They pulled in a total of 5 anesthesiologists to confer. To give me an insulin shot (which I don’t normally take, just pills) would constitute the start of a “treatment plan”. Living 4 hours away and without having planned this, they did not want to start that as it would mean they would have to start following up with appointments etc. They finally got special permission if I was put into twilight but not to the point of sleeping. Lidocain was used to numb which did not work. I felt all 4 cuts and removal (which was actually pretty quick). But it hurt like Haides. Awake, I told them. They re-numbed me for the stitches. I considered it all my own fault because they had to so lightly use everything for my surgery. I didn’t eat healthy on the way down and could probably have prepared better. I think I am already beginning to heal, it is itching like heck but still very swollen. I haven’t actually seen it yet as it’s not time to take off the bandages. I’ll closely monitor my healing over the next few days due to the high glucose problem which greatly affects healing. The stitches on the interior will dissolve by themselves. I’m feeling pretty good overall but just a bit wobbly. Now, we wait for pathology which I feel very good about since they had already removed a lot of it and it came up clear. Taking the rest out is a precaution and I feel like it will test okay too. Thanks again to all the wonderful wishes and comments. It’s nice to have the great support that MFP offers in every area.
    10/23-.…..DNW…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)…..Travel home today from University Hospital.

    10/24-.…..188.2…..(Trend Weight 186.9)….. Doing well.

    10/25-.…..187.0…..(Trend Weight 186.9)….. It is nice to see a drop after surgery. Not much time left in the month, but if I can get about 1 ½ pounds back off, at least I’ll be at starting weight.

    10/26-.…..188.0…..(Trend Weight 187.0)……I hate to see an uptick but I’m not surprised. Low steps and no exercise while healing has left me with a low calorie burn. However, my meals were on point and my water was good.

    10/27-.…..188.2…..(Trend Weight 186.8)…… Weight up, trend down. I’ll take that as incentive to make the good choices I need to make. Still not much movement. Surgical site looks good but pain is worse. I hope that means that the healing has truly begun.

    10/28-.…..189.2…..(Trend Weight 187.2)…… It’s time for me to stop blaming everyone else (my daughter) and everything else (my surgery, my stress) and start taking responsibility. For the past 2 weeks things have really gotten out of control. Yes, many circumstances but only I can change it. Time to do what is right for me!

    10/29-.…..186.6…..(Trend Weight 187.2)…… A nice drop after a day with very careful meals. However, the snacks weren’t good. Once on that cycle the cravings are horrid. All the more reason to stick to our guns and STAY AWAY from things not in the plan. Happy to see this dropin light of all that. TMI helped too. Travel today, unfortunately. Seriously low on tile for the bathroom reno so away I go this morning. Back this evening by 6:00 I hope. Lunch out. Dinner at home is the plan. I must choose carefully when looking at the menu!

    10/30-.…..188.0…..(Trend Weight 187.3)…… Travel and car-sitting weight showing up so no surprise here. I’m going to work on having an excellent day. Time for compensation. The piper wants his pay.

    10/31-.…..188.2…..(Trend Weight 187.2)…… This has been a horrid month. Renovations and surgery limited my ability to exercise. My diet has been less than desirable most days since my daughter and grandson moved back in. All excuses aside, I’ve got to change things in November or I will lose all my progress. Gain this month 2.0 lbs.

    Oct Start Weight 190 ish
    Oct Goal Weight 180

    10/7- 185.4
    10/8 - 184.4

    10/9 - 184.4 today of my birthday so there will be cake, actually wedding cake as I’m going to a wedding this morning.

    10/10 - 185.4 - up a pound, but I think that will be ok once my body works through the sodium from the last two days. No worries.

    10/11 - 184.8 - a little down from the up, hopefully I'll have purged all the salt by tomorrow and see a loss.

    10/12 - 183.4 - the weekend bloat is gone and showing an actual loss now. Yay!!!

    10/13 - 182.6 - Another drop, but I was way low on calories yesterday, but I'll take it. Yay!

    10/14 - 181.8 - Tonight is date night so tomorrow will definitely be higher, but hopefully not too bad.

    10/15 - 184.4 - Yep date night bumped me back up, but it isn't real weight so I won't fret.

    10/16 - 184.0 - little down from date night.

    10/17 - DNW - yesterday was bad and I just couldn’t look today…

    10/18 - DNW, Sodium has been off the charts the past 2 days with a mini Thanksgiving meal this weekend. Ill weigh tomorrow, but I was already sad today and didn't need another downer... Happy Monday y'all!

    10/19 - 184.4 - Sigh... I still feel bloated and gross. I think I still have some water weight to drop from the weekend, at least that is what I choose to believe...

    10/20/21 - 182.2 - That's better. Still may not hit my October goal, but I'm still happy with my progress.

    10/21/21 - 181.6 - Little by little...

    10/22/21 - 182.2 -Last night was date night so I expected a little bump, this is very workable.

    10/23/21 - 182.4 - movie popcorn & pizza last night, ate moderately happy with weight.

    10/24/21 - 181.6 - better

    10/25/21 - 181.8 - sigh... Back to where I was on 10/14, damn weekend of the 17th...

    10/26/21 - 181.8 - double sigh...

    10/27/21 - 181.0 - That's nice to see, but I didn't feel well last night so it may be an artificial low from not eating dinner...

    10/28/21 - 180.0 -GOAL!!!! I didn't think I was going to make it this month, but YAY!!!

    10/29/21 - 180.6 - Calling it normal fluctuation, from date night. No worries.

    10/30/21 - 180.6 - TOM glad it isn’t worse.

    10/31/21 - 181.8 ugh

    July starting weight: 120.3
    August starting weight: 122.8
    September starting weight: 120.9
    October starting weight: 120.2
    October goal: < 119
    Ultimate goal: 112

    Not much of a drop but I'll take it. The goal of < 119 remains for another month.

    01 - 120.2
    02 - 120.5
    03 - 120.4
    04 - 120.5 Since I had pasta yesterday I thought this might be higher
    05 - 120.6
    06 - 120.7
    07 - 119.8 I slept quite late until noon so this is probably temporary

    08 - 121.0 I had pasta again for dinner on Wed and lunch yesterday ... I think it caught up with me.
    09 - 120.6
    10 - 119.4 Considering I went out for dinner last night and had wine this was quite a surprise
    11 - 121.7 Crazy
    12 - 120.8 Much better
    13 - DNW
    14 - DNW

    15 - 120.4
    16 - 118.8 Haven't been this low since 2013
    17 - 119.7
    18 - 120.4
    19 - 120.3
    20 - 120.5
    21 - 120.3

    22 - 121.4
    23 - DNW
    24 - DNW
    25 - DNW
    26 - 120.4
    27 - 119.9
    28 - DNW

    29 - 119.2
    30 - 120.0
    31 - 120.4

    Not where I wanted to be at the end of the month. However, my overall trend is about a pound less than it was last month. I mostly stayed in the 120 range instead of 121. The other thing is that for the last eight weeks I've been doing the EPIC I program and I've made some muscle gains in that time. Even my scale shows that my muscle mass and bone density have slightly improved over the last 2-3 months. I've also lost two inches on my waist since I started EPIC. Ultimately I care more about my fitness level and how I look than the actual weight. Goal number one is to lose the waist fat.

    71 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion... :D...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
