🍁🍂November Daily Log-in and Weigh-in Challenge🍂🍁

jm216

🍁🍂November is just around the corner, and it’s time to better control my overeating. I fight logging, but when I do it, I lose weight. I also do better when I weigh in each day.

Let’s try this together for November and see what happens. Everyone is welcome to jump in and join anytime… and feel free to start before November to get a head start.

Welcome new and returning friends to the November challenge!

November 5: Didn't weigh, but did hit 30 minutes spinning! Previous high was 21 minutes.
November 6: 171.2
November 7: 169.8 - 20 minutes spinning, and 10 minute lower body that nearly killed me. Body is not used to this!
November 8: 169 - So far, I've been under my calorie budget every day. 10 minute core workout.
November 9: Didn't weigh.
November 12: Didn't weigh. Over calorie budget by 300.
November 14: 168.4
November 15: 169.6
November 17: 169.6
November 18: 169.8
November 19: 170.0 - I am frustrated. Since October 13th, there has been exactly ONE day (one week ago) that I went over my calorie budget of 1280 (and most days I'm between 1180-1230). I weigh to the gram and log EVERYTHING.
November 20: 169.6
November 21: 168.6
November 22: Didn't weigh
November 29: 166.8 - This is surprising. I was going to be happy to still be at 168.6.

November 3 149.6 Finally, a drop!!:)

November 6 149.2
November 7 149.2 I've been feeling achy and tired from the covid booster I got a couple days ago. Eating well, but I think the vaccine side effects may be playing a part in the weight stall.

November 10 149.2 Yesterday was my birthday so we went out for dinner.

November 22 146.0 Weight is not dropping despite good macros and calories. I'm not too worried about it right now because I'm still pretty sick and taking ibuprofen and cold medicine (and both can cause fluid retention). I'm happy with the 4 lbs I've lost so far this month. I also plan to enjoy turkey dinner with my family on Thursday, but I'll try to limit my food intake ..lol!
November 23 146.2
November 24 146.2
November 25 146.4 Just holding steady for now. I don't really expect to lose any more this month. Still pretty sick with a chest cold. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

I’m Marsha. I’m 54 years old, 5’9” tall and my first goal is to get under 200 pounds. My ultimate and hopefully maintainable goal is 175 pounds….

Highest weight: 298 - I've never admitted this anywhere, even my MFP profile shows a much lower weight

Starting Weight: 205 - I have gotten under 200 but haven't been able to maintain it.

Current weight: 202

November weight lost: 3lbs includes 3lbs of water - post cheat day

November Goals:

Lose 10 pounds - 3lbs water, 7lbs just under 2lbs per week a bit ambitious

Continue to Log Daily

Continue to Weigh-in daily

'Flash' everything in my news feed (not working because photos won't uploand to MFP 90% of the time) before I eat it for accountability, logging isn't having the same effect. Honestly I don't look at anyones food logs, who has that kind of time?!?

November 1: 205

November 2: 202 - the joy of water loss[/quote]

November 3: 201

November 4: 202 - water loss is over, the real work begins.

November 5: 201

November 6: 200 - Cheat Day!

November 7: 202 - back to working it

November 8: 201

November 9: 201

November 10: 200 - ready to kiss the 200's goodbye, for good!

November 11: 199 - Whoop! Whoop!

November 12: 199 - the dilemma, tomorrow is cheat day.Cheat day always results in a temporary weight gain, usually for a day or two. Cheat day has several reasons for being important to my weight loss. Knowing that I have an upcoming cheat day where I can eat whatever and how much I want makes it super easy to stick to the food plan the other 6 days. Also, spiking calories keeps my metabolic rate, thyroid and hormones from slowing down. Teetering on the border of 200's makes me want to put off cheat day. Damned if I do, damned if I don't. It is more important to keep metabolic, thyroid and hormones going for continued weight loss rather than focus on the number on the scale. Cheat day it is. lol

November 13: 199.0 Cheat day has arrived. Scale has been stable for 3 days. Time to shake things up.

November 14: 202, post cheat day gain which will be gone in a day or two. To gain 3lbs would require over 12,000 excess calories in one day. Even on my worst cheat days for me that is not a possible number. Also, subtract basic resting metabolism and the required calories for an actual fat gain are even higher. This is why not to get too excited at daily fluctuations. Carbs hold water. A change in food can cause delays in elimination that will show up on the scale but will resolve in a day or two. The scale is only 1 and not the only method of tracking weight.

November 15: 201 Cheat day water gain coming off slowly, partially due to muscles holding from exercise. I am sore! Don't get excited about flutations, the body has a lot to keep up with and sometimes needs to hold extra fluid.

November 16: 200 I always weigh daily to see the trends and how different foods affect my body. Knowing these effects keeps me from bring concerned when the scale doesn't read what I want it to

November 17: 200 late dinner then straight to bed showing on the scale today,not my plan. Feeling a big frustrated. Considering have a cheat meal rather than a cheat day Saturday especially with Thanksgiving coming up and that will definetly be a cheat day.

November 18: 200 struggling this week! Sweets are everywhere! Had 30g of protein within 30 minutes this morning hoping that it is true that will help satiety. I definetly feel full right now. I was really hopeful to reach goal. With 12 days left in the month it does not seem likely. I'll have a cheat meal on Saturdays this month and a cheat day on Thanksgiving and try to lose 2-3 lbs around that.

November 19: 200 don't know how to make it through this day

November 20: 201 how I made it through yesterday, eating. I would like to call it an unplanned cheat day but by definition cheat days are planned. This was eating to get me through an up at 4am emotional, physical, raw day preceeded by a hard week. My husband & I own a small business. We are in our busy season. There use to be 6 of us in the business. Now it is just the two of us. Customers want things that are not available. We are not delivering when clients want because let's face it if you keep calling asking about your order I cannot do the work. Some jobs can be done while on the phone these cannot. The machinery is too loud there is too much to pay attention to. Unavailable inventory makes it 4X longer to try to source items for orders that come from all over the country now. All the businesses we work with have labor shortage so if stock runs out we don't get a heads up, we find out when we are going to production. We are going through a sales tax audit and the property assessor came out and informed us that they are moving our accessible rate from 25% to 40% on the building. #meltdownNov

November 21: 202 it could have been worse and it could have been better, I did not put a lot of pressure on myself based on the way things have been going. Something that I noticed, I ate dinner despite wanting to gag. Why did I do that? It was just a salad at home, a couple of dollars in the trash rather than in my stomach. I need to stop making myself eat because it is time. While saying that I do believe in eating before hangry when blood sugar is low and poor decisions are made. It is Thanksgiving week. A challenging week for many who are concerned with health. I am planning to have some of my childhood favorites and not having others traditional dishes that I don't really care about - green bean casserole and sweet potatoes are 2 that leap to mind. Turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, corn, strawberry jello salad, these are my favorites. Part of my failure last week was lack of planning and prepping. I will do better this week.

November 29: 201 Even though I didn't post here daily I did weigh and log my food daily. Not well, but still logged. Had some weight fluctuatios but overall doing ok with some time off for Thanksgiving. I'm glad to have had this challenge to help me 'stay the course'. Though I did not hit goal progress has been made and that is awesome. Going into December I'm not planning on attending a lot of parties etc. I do plan to be strict during the week and still have my cheat time on Saturdays. I'll loosen up for Christmas and New Years but plan to make a concentrated effort to reach goal 1st Qtr 2022.

9/14/20-255 lbs heaviest weight, twice, ugh!
5/3/21-240.5 lbs
5/14/21-232.2 lbs MFP start date.
3 month goal is 15 lbs.
November goal is 5 lbs

11/1/21-181.8 lbs
11/2/21-180.8 lbs
11/3/21-180.4 lbs
11/4/21-180.4 lbs-159 minutes on the Elliptical.
11/5/21-180.4 lbs
11/6/21-181.6 lbs- 190 minutes on the Elliptical. stayed on track, just the uptick fluctuations I do, before a drop.
11/7/21-180 lbs- 200 minutes on the Elliptical-15 miles, Finally hit my 4th October weight goal. Had met 3 end of month
weight goals in October early but not the 4th one I made to be 180 or below till now.
11/8/21-180 lbs
11/9/21-179.2 lbs- 210 minutes on the Elliptical-15 miles
11/10/21-179.2 lbs
11/11/21-179.2 lbs-210 minutes on the Elliptical-16 miles
11/12/21-178.2 lbs-76.8 lbs lost of goal of 133 lbs
FINALLY THE QUOTE WORKED LIKE BEFORE THEY CHANGED STUFF!!!!
11/13/21-178.2 lbs
11/14/21-176.6 lbs Down 5.2 lbs. My November goal was 5 lbs because I figured it would slow down soon. I've been
averaging 10 lbs/month. 78.4 lbs lost so far!
Did 223 minutes today on my Elliptical. I wanted to finish the last 10 minutes of the last movie and
wanted to hit the 16 miles!

11/15/21-178.8 :-( Doesn't make sense. Did that elliptical work out yesterday and only 1,266 calories and stayed totally on track but I usually do have a uptick before a drop. So hopefully will drop back off and it must be water being held on to.
11/16/21-178.8 lbs
11/17/21-178.8 lbs
11/18/21-178.8 lbs
11/19/21-178.6 lbs Had to add these all today. Been busy at work and late nights. Still waiting for the drop of the water weight from the rotisserie seasoning salt to happen!
Also had some NSV's today. Our desk at work is high and we have high chairs. Today I had the chair set higher than before because I couldn't get into it up high. Today I could because my butt is smaller. Also my L leg that had the Tibial Plateau Fracture could actually now bend enough to put it on the leg rest under the seat!

11/19/21-177.6 lbs- Edited because I checked my saved scale weight (when I weighed today 11/20/21) and I recorded it wrong yesterday. So some of the Rotisserie Seasoned chicken water weight did start to drop off!

11/20/21-176.4 lbs Did my Elliptical for 217 minutes, just over 16 miles, today. Hopefully more of a whoosh tomorrow!

11/21/21-177.4 lbs Has to be water weight although I ate about 400-600 more calories than my usual (1689- usually eat 1000-1200) but still way under my allotted calories (3804) with exercise. I usually don't eat back any of my exercise calories. I expected my weight loss to slow down about a month or 2 ago. Guess its time now. No elliptical today. Was cleaning to get ready for baking for Thanksgiving.

11/22/21-178 lbs, did 223 minutes on my Elliptical, 15 miles. Making pumpkin 5 rolls today, pumpkin and apple pies tomorrow. They won't be on my log in. I need to figure out by Christmas Keto friendly versions, by trial and error. Recipes I've seen don't look close enough to mine. And I'm well known for my baking. Once a new acquaintance asked me if I baked professionally. I have to work Wednesday. Waiting FAIRLY patiently for water weight to drop.

11/23/21-179.8 lbs Ugh! Not sure what is going on. Been staying on track. I've been sailing on smooth water and now comes the choppy stuff! Sticking with it but can't say I'm not a bit down hearted about the numbers.
Had a dentist appointment today and had to split up my Elliptical time in two. But then did total of 241 minutes, total 16.34 miles!

As @Arc2Arc says "its more fun when the scale cooperates but...it doesn't always cooperate."

11/24/21-179.0 lbs Well, it came down a little bit. Have to be happy for every little bit.

11/25/21-176.8 lbs. YES! FINALLY! But today I was good for dinner. Only meat and broccoli, no gravy. But I had to try some of the flan (I never tried it before) and someone brought a pumpkin cheesecake I am indulging in right now. But I did 217 minutes on my Elliptical this AM. So hopefully it will be ok. Crossing my fingers!

11/26/21-176.8 lbs Yes! Glad no uptick!
11/27/21-175.8 lbs Yippee! Almost 80 lbs down!
11/28/21-175 lbs. DOWN 80 LBS!!!!!! Did 220 minutes on my Elliptical this AM for 15 miles.

November 10 - 199.2 (Odd week on the scale this week. I did eat a big salty snack before bed even though it was within my calorie range. Trend weight is still down for the week and no days spiked back into the 200s so still feeling great.)
November 11 - 197.4 (There we go, body finally released that! Things have been busy but my husband and I continue to stay on track. Looking forward to making some progress for the rest of the month.)
November 12 - 196.6 (I got lots of exercise yesterday and had a good day of eating. My husband and I got a massage as well.)
November 13 - 195 (Got my steps and exercised too, ate well. Happy the weekend is here!)
November 14 - 192.2 (And with that I have officially surpassed the 100 pounds lost mark! Huge flushing of weight that I was holding onto last week.)
November 15 - 192.8 (Our hiking plans didn't go ahead yesterday but we found other ways to be active. Busy day today so I'm posting late, sometimes the days just get away from me!)
November 16 - 193.6 (Holy wind Batman! It's hard to get out for steps today with how windy it is, but I'm about half way to goal already. Yesterday we had our volunteer commitment at night and tonight I am sewing with a friend so I'm fitting my exercise in around those other things.)
November 17 - 193.4 (Had a fun night sewing after work, rode the Peloton before bed.)
November 18 - 192.4 (Finished my Christmas placemat sewing project last night - two very late nights. Back to regularly scheduled evening programming here although my husband is coming home from a business trip so he may be late and that may keep me up again.)
November 19 - 192.4 (Found I did a lot of exercise yesterday and enjoyed it. It's just natural now. My husband did bring bakery treats home to try so I made the extra effort to move in order to partake.)
November 20 - 194.2 (Planned day of eating just below maintenance for my mom's birthday. Did my Peloton FTP test for the first time too. Can't wait to track my fitness progression!)
November 21 - 194.4 (Had a mini road trip yesterday, ate two bigger meals instead of my normal 3+. Did exercise in many forms. Going hiking today!)
November 22 - 193.8 (Did a really fun hike yesterday in Banff National Park in fairly deep snow.)
November 23 - 194.2 (Went to Zoolights yesterday and rode my Peloton for 50 minutes.)
November 24 - 192.4 (Off work now until Monday - time to have some fun!!)
November 25 - 192.2 (Fun day, we took today and tomorrow off so we watched football and had a turkey too. Nice visit with family.)
November 26 - 192.4
November 27 - 192 (A new low. We were out yesterday at the Banff Christmas Market, and then we had a nice dinner out. When I got home I did quite a bit of exercise to make up for it.)
November 28 - 191.6 (I am in a mental funk, we were supposed to be getting our Christmas tree today but things went off the rails. Anyway, I'm happy with this weigh-in as it's a new low and we went out to dinner with friends last night and I'm proud at how things went.)
November 29 - 192.4 (Long day at work, didn't move from my desk for about 10 hours.. not the way I like to spend my day but I got my exercise in at night. Tomorrow is another day!)

I have been having problems logging into Community with the app. I have to go through the internet. Wednesday is my normal weigh-in and I lost.

November 17 184.5 lbs ⬇️ My regular Wednesday weigh-in. This month has been more consistent in the weight fluctuations. I am down 1.5 lbs mid month. A couple things I have noticed for myself is not drinking enough water does make a difference in the peaks of my weight gain. Always been a big water drinker but I have to be more diligent. Also reduces the carbs in the morning have been helping. Carbs are my weakness.

Made it to the end of the month! This is my 3rd month on this challenge and I love it, thank you so much @jm216 Jill for keeping this going for us all ❤

So the second half of this month was a rollercoaster, spiking back up in the last few days due to air travel and lack of movement I expect. 0.2lbs off my goal on the scale this morning but my trend weight is actually 142.7lbs so I call that a win 👍

I want to end next month at 140lb trend weight so am aiming for 138lb on the scale, I was planning a month of maintenance but as the scale is now back up I'm going to soldier on. It's gonna be tough but we're in this together!

mhoward685

I’m Marsha. I’m 54 years old, 5’9” tall and my first goal is to get under 200 pounds. My ultimate and hopefully maintainable goal is 175 pounds….

Highest weight: 298 - I've never admitted this anywhere, even my MFP profile shows a much lower weight

Starting Weight: 205 - I have gotten under 200 but haven't been able to maintain it.

Current weight: 201

November weight lost: 4lbs

November Goals:

Lose 10 pounds

Continue to Log Daily

Continue to Weigh-in daily

'Flash' everything in my news feed (not working because photos won't uploand to MFP 90% of the time) before I eat it for accountability, logging isn't having the same effect. Honestly I don't look at anyones food logs, who has that kind of time?!?

November 1: 205

November 2: 202 - the joy of water loss[/quote]

November 3: 201

November 4: 202 - water loss is over, the real work begins.

November 5: 201

November 6: 200 - Cheat Day!

November 7: 202 - back to working it

November 8: 201

November 9: 201

November 10: 200 - ready to kiss the 200's goodbye, for good!

November 11: 199 - Whoop! Whoop!

November 12: 199 - the dilemma, tomorrow is cheat day.Cheat day always results in a temporary weight gain, usually for a day or two. Cheat day has several reasons for being important to my weight loss. Knowing that I have an upcoming cheat day where I can eat whatever and how much I want makes it super easy to stick to the food plan the other 6 days. Also, spiking calories keeps my metabolic rate, thyroid and hormones from slowing down. Teetering on the border of 200's makes me want to put off cheat day. Damned if I do, damned if I don't. It is more important to keep metabolic, thyroid and hormones going for continued weight loss rather than focus on the number on the scale. Cheat day it is. lol

November 13: 199.0 Cheat day has arrived. Scale has been stable for 3 days. Time to shake things up.

November 14: 202, post cheat day gain which will be gone in a day or two. To gain 3lbs would require over 12,000 excess calories in one day. Even on my worst cheat days for me that is not a possible number. Also, subtract basic resting metabolism and the required calories for an actual fat gain are even higher. This is why not to get too excited at daily fluctuations. Carbs hold water. A change in food can cause delays in elimination that will show up on the scale but will resolve in a day or two. The scale is only 1 and not the only method of tracking weight.

November 15: 201 Cheat day water gain coming off slowly, partially due to muscles holding from exercise. I am sore! Don't get excited about flutations, the body has a lot to keep up with and sometimes needs to hold extra fluid.

November 16: 200 I always weigh daily to see the trends and how different foods affect my body. Knowing these effects keeps me from bring concerned when the scale doesn't read what I want it to

Hi there! I’m Athena, I’ve been struggling on and off with my weight for a good while and was recommended to try accountability buddies to help each other reach our goals. Thought this would be a good route for that! Let’s see if we can survive turkey day! 😆

My plan for the weeks ahead are to focus on eating at home and only go out to eat on Saturdays/Sundays (restaurant/fast food) and to focus on portion controlling. I’m also planning to work out for an hour three times a week.

Currently, I am only 4 pounds away from my heaviest but determined to make that number bigger this month.

It’s been a crazy week of family & bad eating. I need a do over .
November 30: 149.4 ⬇️
I started out great , Lost 3 pounds but gained some back and ended up with a total of 1.4 loss. Not excited but I could have ended up with a gain instead of a small loss. Here’s to a better new month!

11/24.…..189.6…..(Trend Weight 189.2)…..After travel weight. Little movement. Little water. Good quantities at the restaurants for lunch and dinner but the choices could have been a bit better, but not too bad. Dessert was not a good idea.

11/25.…..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!

11/26.…..193.4…..(Trend Weight 189.8)……I made a smaller version of Thanksgiving dinner last night for myself, son and a handyman that was here. Late dinner at 9:00 PM and early rise and weigh-in this morning. Shocked but it was a lot of starch with the mashed potatoes, gravy and dinner rolls (among other things). My big family feast will be on Sunday and that’s when the pies come out! Yikes! Me and pies are like besties! I don’t have them any other time of the year but holidays so I know I will be partaking which will likely make these numbers worse. What can I do today and tomorrow (before the big feast) to help? Well……a lot. A WHOLE LOT.

11/27.…..191.0…..(Trend Weight 189.9)…… Our feast is tomorrow. I’ll make another good day today to offset as best I can. I chose wisely yesterday for my snacks.

11/28.…..188.4…..(Trend Weight 189.7)……Today is our family feast. I’m a little worried about the pies as holidays are about the only times of year we have them. Control….Control….Control.

November 3 - 198.6 (Another birthday dinner last night but calories were where I planned them.)
November 4 - 197.2 (Food was really on point yesterday. Feeling good working my way further from the 200's.)
November 5 - 196.6 (Chinese food birthday supper for a friend last night but I got good exercise in and planned around it.)
November 6 - 197.2 (Burger and chips dinner with Mom last night that I planned for. Today is the last day of birthday celebration events.)
November 7 - 196.4 (Last birthday celebration last night - my friend is an amazing cook but it's always healthy too. There was homemade amaretto cheesecake for dessert so I planned ahead to have the room.)
November 8 - 198.8 (Food was good yesterday and my exercise was the most it's been all month. Time of the month started.)
November 9 - 198.6 (Donated blood yesterday and had a great food day. Lots of exercise already today so hoping to see the scale down even more tomorrow.)
November 10 - 199.2 (Odd week on the scale this week. I did eat a big salty snack before bed even though it was within my calorie range. Trend weight is still down for the week and no days spiked back into the 200s so still feeling great.)
November 11 - 197.4 (There we go, body finally released that! Things have been busy but my husband and I continue to stay on track. Looking forward to making some progress for the rest of the month.)

November 13 - 195 (Got my steps and exercised too, ate well. Happy the weekend is here!)

November 15 - 192.8 (Our hiking plans didn't go ahead yesterday but we found other ways to be active. Busy day today so I'm posting late, sometimes the days just get away from me!)
November 16 - 193.6 (Holy wind Batman! It's hard to get out for steps today with how windy it is, but I'm about half way to goal already. Yesterday we had our volunteer commitment at night and tonight I am sewing with a friend so I'm fitting my exercise in around those other things.)
November 17 - 193.4 (Had a fun night sewing after work, rode the Peloton before bed.)
November 18 - 192.4 (Finished my Christmas placemat sewing project last night - two very late nights. Back to regularly scheduled evening programming here although my husband is coming home from a business trip so he may be late and that may keep me up again.)
November 19 - 192.4 (Found I did a lot of exercise yesterday and enjoyed it. It's just natural now. My husband did bring bakery treats home to try so I made the extra effort to move in order to partake.)
November 20 - 194.2 (Planned day of eating just below maintenance for my mom's birthday. Did my Peloton FTP test for the first time too. Can't wait to track my fitness progression!)
November 21 - 194.4 (Had a mini road trip yesterday, ate two bigger meals instead of my normal 3+. Did exercise in many forms. Going hiking today!)

November 26 - 192.4
November 27 - 192 (A new low. We were out yesterday at the Banff Christmas Market, and then we had a nice dinner out. When I got home I did quite a bit of exercise to make up for it.)
November 28 - 191.6 (I am in a mental funk, we were supposed to be getting our Christmas tree today but things went off the rails. Anyway, I'm happy with this weigh-in as it's a new low and we went out to dinner with friends last night and I'm proud at how things went.)
November 29 - 192.4 (Long day at work, didn't move from my desk for about 10 hours.. not the way I like to spend my day but I got my exercise in at night. Tomorrow is another day!)
November 30 - 192.2

I have been having problems logging into Community with the app. I have to go through the internet. Wednesday is my normal weigh-in and I lost.

November 17 184.5 lbs ⬇️ My regular Wednesday weigh-in. This month has been more consistent in the weight fluctuations. I am down 1.5 lbs mid month. A couple things I have noticed for myself is not drinking enough water does make a difference in the peaks of my weight gain. Always been a big water drinker but I have to be more diligent. Also reduces the carbs in the morning have been helping. Carbs are my weakness.

Hi all…thank you for your support this month. November isn’t easy so all of you that made it to the end, I congratulate you. If you didn’t reach your target month end weight, you hopefully will come away with lessons that will make you better at taking care of yourself. I did.

I’m fortunate to have beaten my goal by a half pound…. But it’s never over! See you in December.

9/14/20-255 lbs heaviest weight, twice, ugh!
5/3/21-240.5 lbs
5/14/21-232.2 lbs MFP start date.
3 month goal is 15 lbs.
November goal is 5 lbs

11/1/21-181.8 lbs
11/2/21-180.8 lbs
11/3/21-180.4 lbs
11/4/21-180.4 lbs-159 minutes on the Elliptical.
11/5/21-180.4 lbs
11/6/21-181.6 lbs- 190 minutes on the Elliptical. stayed on track, just the uptick fluctuations I do, before a drop.
11/7/21-180 lbs- 200 minutes on the Elliptical-15 miles, Finally hit my 4th October weight goal. Had met 3 end of month
weight goals in October early but not the 4th one I made to be 180 or below till now.
11/8/21-180 lbs
11/9/21-179.2 lbs- 210 minutes on the Elliptical-15 miles
11/10/21-179.2 lbs
11/11/21-179.2 lbs-210 minutes on the Elliptical-16 miles
11/12/21-178.2 lbs-76.8 lbs lost of goal of 133 lbs
FINALLY THE QUOTE WORKED LIKE BEFORE THEY CHANGED STUFF!!!!
11/13/21-178.2 lbs
11/14/21-176.6 lbs Down 5.2 lbs. My November goal was 5 lbs because I figured it would slow down soon. I've been
averaging 10 lbs/month. 78.4 lbs lost so far!
Did 223 minutes today on my Elliptical. I wanted to finish the last 10 minutes of the last movie and
wanted to hit the 16 miles!

11/15/21-178.8 :-( Doesn't make sense. Did that elliptical work out yesterday and only 1,266 calories and stayed totally on track but I usually do have a uptick before a drop. So hopefully will drop back off and it must be water being held on to.
11/16/21-178.8 lbs
11/17/21-178.8 lbs
11/18/21-178.8 lbs
11/19/21-178.6 lbs Had to add these all today. Been busy at work and late nights. Still waiting for the drop of the water weight from the rotisserie seasoning salt to happen!
Also had some NSV's today. Our desk at work is high and we have high chairs. Today I had the chair set higher than before because I couldn't get into it up high. Today I could because my butt is smaller. Also my L leg that had the Tibial Plateau Fracture could actually now bend enough to put it on the leg rest under the seat!

11/19/21-177.6 lbs- Edited because I checked my saved scale weight (when I weighed today 11/20/21) and I recorded it wrong yesterday. So some of the Rotisserie Seasoned chicken water weight did start to drop off!

11/20/21-176.4 lbs Did my Elliptical for 217 minutes, just over 16 miles, today. Hopefully more of a whoosh tomorrow!

11/21/21-177.4 lbs Has to be water weight although I ate about 400-600 more calories than my usual (1689- usually eat 1000-1200) but still way under my allotted calories (3804) with exercise. I usually don't eat back any of my exercise calories. I expected my weight loss to slow down about a month or 2 ago. Guess its time now. No elliptical today. Was cleaning to get ready for baking for Thanksgiving.

11/22/21-178 lbs, did 223 minutes on my Elliptical, 15 miles. Making pumpkin 5 rolls today, pumpkin and apple pies tomorrow. They won't be on my log in. I need to figure out by Christmas Keto friendly versions, by trial and error. Recipes I've seen don't look close enough to mine. And I'm well known for my baking. Once a new acquaintance asked me if I baked professionally. I have to work Wednesday. Waiting FAIRLY patiently for water weight to drop.

11/23/21-179.8 lbs Ugh! Not sure what is going on. Been staying on track. I've been sailing on smooth water and now comes the choppy stuff! Sticking with it but can't say I'm not a bit down hearted about the numbers.
Had a dentist appointment today and had to split up my Elliptical time in two. But then did total of 241 minutes, total 16.34 miles!

As @Arc2Arc says "its more fun when the scale cooperates but...it doesn't always cooperate."

11/24/21-179.0 lbs Well, it came down a little bit. Have to be happy for every little bit.

11/25/21-176.8 lbs. YES! FINALLY! But today I was good for dinner. Only meat and broccoli, no gravy. But I had to try some of the flan (I never tried it before) and someone brought a pumpkin cheesecake I am indulging in right now. But I did 217 minutes on my Elliptical this AM. So hopefully it will be ok. Crossing my fingers!

11/26/21-176.8 lbs Yes! Glad no uptick!
11/27/21-175.8 lbs Yippee! Almost 80 lbs down!
11/28/21-175 lbs. DOWN 80 LBS!!!!!! Did 220 minutes on my Elliptical this AM for 15 miles.
11/29/21-174.2 lbs 0.2 lbs from being OVERWEIGHT instead of OBESE!
11/30/21-176.2 lbs. :-( Hopefully my usual uptick before a drop. I stayed with my calories, carbs and water, so not sure why it went up 2 lbs.. Off today so did 220 minutes on my Elliptical. Still hit the 5 lb goal but I would have liked the 7.6 lbs better!

See you all in December!
