What I've learned so far:
- exercise in the evening after eating has less impact than exercise in the morning before eating, regardless of same caloric intake
- Keeping calories as close to goal as possible has more impact than exercise for me
- Saving calories (not eating) until evening makes the evening feel more relaxed
- Busy hands are a good idea, as are habit goals

Challenge weight loss goal: Under 200- October 4: 224
- October 11: 222.2 (-1.8)
- October 18: 217.2 (-5.0): Nothing really changed this week. Think the whoosh was some water weight from PMS.
- October 25: 214.4 (-2.8)
October Actual: 214.4 (woo hoo - beat my goal!)
October Loss: 9.6- November 1: 210.6 (-3.8) Stressful week. Going through some personal stuff. I'm trying to focus on eating more.
- November 8: 209.2 (-1.4) Another stressful week. Not sleeping very well and struggling to eat up to my BMR.
- November 15: 207.2 (-2) That's a relief! I expected a gain or at least to stall. Feeling stronger this week. Added in a 3rd weight training session to deal with the stress and trying to get to bed earlier.
- November 22: 206.4 (-.8) Had a lot of social activities last week. Looks like I need to learn to regulate what I'm eating and drinking a bit better!
- November 29: 202.6 (-3.8) Been sick since last Friday. Haven't been able to workout, but also not much of an appetite. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I miss the gym!
November Actual: 202.6
November Loss: 11.8- December 6: 201.4 (-1.2)
- December 13: 201.6 (+0.2) Trying to break a 2 week stall so I ate more the last 3 days. Hoping that gives my body a little break so I can keep going. Onederland might not happen this year.
- December 20: 198.4 (- 3.2) So happy, grateful and relieved for the loss! Eating 150 - 250 cals more daily average worked.

My name is Donna. I am 61 years old, 5' 5" tall. I live in the Midwest of USA. I am in remission for breast cancer, have Type 2 Diabetes, an under active thyroid, a touch of high blood pressure, some osteoporosis and am working to get healthier. I know losing weight and exercising more will help all of these issues.
CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM August 31, 2021): 186.8
CHALLENGE ENDING WEIGHT: xxxxx
CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 15 pounds to land at 171.8
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s
I TRY TO WEIGH ON THE 1ST AND LAST DAY OF EACH MONTH ALSO. I HAVE MADE THE GOAL OF LOSING A LITTLE MORE IN SEPT AND OCT AND KEEPING IT A LITTLE LESS THROUGH THE NOV AND DEC HOLIDAYS (AND BAKING SEASON.) I THINK THAT 15 POUNDS OVERALL IS A MORE REALISTIC GOAL FOR ME ESPECIALLY SINCE I LIVE IN A VERY SNOWY AND ICY AREA AND OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES AND EXERCISE ARE DIFFICULT AFTER OCTOBER 1ST. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT I GET AND STAY AT A HEALTHY WEIGHT DUE TO HEALTH REASONS I WILL SHARE ALONG THE WAY. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! I AM ROOTING FOR YOU AND SUPPORTING YOU ALL 100% WE CAN DO THIS!

Nov 01…..…..189.4…..(Trend Weight 187.7)…..Pizza, Candy and other Spooky junk for Halloween. Now it’s time to get back on track! I am too dangerously close to getting back into the 190’s.
Nov 04…..…..189.6…..(Trend Weight 189.1)…..Ouch! Daughter’s birthday celebrations so close to Halloween is a recipe for disaster!
Nov 11…..…..189.6…..(Trend Weight 188.6)…..I hate this new format. Colorless and boring. It does not promote wanting to join or participate. Lifeless! I vote no! All who agree should contact MFP!
Nov 18…..…..190.6…..(Trend Weight 189.7)…..Very bad news from Primary Doctor yesterday in regards to my blood work. A1C 11.8 so she will be adding more medication for Type 2 diabetes in conjunction with what I am already taking. Thyroid has gotten worse and my medication will be increased. My sodium is super low and so a medication for that is being added. My LDL cholesterol is bad so she is adding Atorvastatin for help that. What a hot mess! These medications will help, but I know in my heart of hearts that diet and exercise is the healthiest answer to all of this. I’ve got to do better! With all these holidays coming up, it just couldn’t be more challenging! I’m thankful that I’ve made enough improvements in my lifestyle and my weight over the past couple of years to stay in cancer remission as weight was very important to my type of cancer. But I’ve got to roll up my sleeves, there is more work to be done.
Nov 25…..191.0…..(Trend Weight 189.7)….. Emotional eating which I know helps nothing. Emotional binge for sure. Dinner is Sunday. I’m making something small for me & son and one handyman that is here today. I’ll keep it in better control!

Dec 07….. 188.2…..(Trend Weight 189.4)…..
Dec 14….. 191.6…..(Trend Weight 190.4)….. The death of my brother has really found me spiraling out of control. It has been horrid. Couple that with travel for Christmas shopping and all the cravings that come with being off plan and it’s a recipe for disaster. Hell, I haven’t even started baking yet. I’ve got to get a grip. Nothing will bring him back.
Dec 21….. 191.4…..(Trend Weight 190.5)….. Another death this week. A friend of 20 years age 55 from an Asthma attack. I had a full-on binge yesterday of BBQ chips and donuts that I bought at the store when I went to get water. It was so bad that I skipped dinner just to off-set the calories. I feel like death warmed over today. I have none of the energy that good foods would have given me. This is just another example of my food killing me, like a poison because of my relationship with it. I’ve got to do better! I know this was emotional eating. Too many death's this month. But it solves nothing!

I surpassed my goal for this challenge, but Christmas is next week, so eating. Hopefully not too much. I plan on increasing my exercise time next week.
December 24: 142.2
Still below goal, but Christmas eating for next 2 days. Goal is to eat what I want but not to the point where I feel stuffed. Since Monday I have exercised an additional 15 minutes each day.

As you can see, I've been having a harder time of it in December. I'm using it as a lesson for the future. One of these days, I'd like to be at a point where I start weight maintenance instead of weight loss.
I was expecting December to be a challenge, and had decided that if I could stay under 230, I'd consider it a win. So far, so good. But I'd like to congratulate those who have shown an incredible amount of discipline and determination in achieving steady weight loss and have succeeded in continuing that weight loss even into December.
Congratulations! to all of you: @chalmation, @39flavours, @MrsHermit, @summerviking1, @goal06082021, @j29t, @JenKindo, @ashleycarole86.

Thanks @frankwbrown
You have a healthy and consistent strategy and hey, your Dec weight is still a loss from Nov close (for now at least - realize the toughest days are still in front of us). I'd call that a huge success! Happy Holidays!!2 -

That's it, I'm tapping out.
I've surpassed my goal, my BMI is now 22.2. I plan to stick with IF long-term, although I'll be doing a lot less alternate day fasting as I'm okay with losing more, but really want to slow it down.
I have no reason to keep weighing myself, and I don't have the best psychological relationship with the scale, so that's it for me.
Good luck everyone on meeting your weight loss goals. Remember, it's not so much about losing a certain amount as it is about finding what works for you and makes your body feel it's best while ALSO producing weight loss.
The best diet is the one that *feels* good while you do it.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or just Happy Saturday depending on your situation. Take care everyone.

@JenKindo Happy Onderland!
@frankwbrown Thanks! I only recently joined MFP and this is the first time I've seen such steady progress (except for one other time in my past but that time doesn't count). I tried to lose weight this week but was over my calorie bank/budget too many times. I keep forgetting my husband's helpful advice to half whatever I dished out for myself, as I keep coming to that conclusion end of day (if I had only taken 1/3 less, or one less of this or that...). We're doing a big move to a new community in a few months and I have a couple of goals related to that deadline.
@Xellercin Congrats on meeting your goal and finding what works for you!
@FaithIt365 Don't give up on yourself. You can do this. Just one day at a time, one choice at a time. You are worth it!!!

Thanks! I realize I never actually posted my highest weight, but I too was obese before, lost it all, slowly, down to a low-healthy weight, and then regained a bit due to illness, injury, and meds like prednisone.
My latest weight loss effort was a slog and took forever until I started IF, which has been so much easier for me.
I'm really thrilled to be back where I worked so hard to get before, I didn't have nearly as much to lose this time around, I started at 160, but it was a million times harder to lose the second time around, largely because I'm so inactive due to injury. Good luck on your journey! I hope it goes nice and steady and smooth for you.3 -
