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.
11/26.…..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.

I am Dawn. 61 years old, 5'2"
MFP start weight 191, October 28.18
I have gained quite a bit over the last few months, time to turn that around.
Setting an aggressive Goal weight for November.
11/01 - 137.1
11/02 - 136.4 - Had a beautiful rare striploin and blackened prawns for dinner, Kanjac angel hair with fresh garlic, parmesan, and sour cream to accompany it. I ate half of all of it. Felt full for the first time in quite a while. Beef and prawns...I don't eat very often, must have needed the protein. I guess that I will be having it again tonight.
11/03 - 135.6 - Happy to see this coming down. Late dinners are becoming the norm because of my work schedule over the last few months and months to come. Maybe my body is getting used to it.
11/04 - 135.3 - I feel like Tina and I have been so close in weight whether we were gaining or losing. Of course she is 4" taller than me.
11/05 - 135.0 - Put on 4 pounds in one day on Thanksgiving, will it be 4 months to take off one day of delicious eating? I want this to be sustainable, I want to be able to eat fattening food here and there.
11/06 - 136.5 - Argh
11/07 - 137.5 - Lots of activity and healthy food. Totally don't understand this gain. Disheartening.
11/08 - 136.9 - Okay, better than yesterday, but still way too high. My check-in on MFP and pedometre are still at 130.6 - I don't think that I will be measuring and checking in again until I am under that amount
11/09 - 136.2 - What happened to the 135.0 from a few days ago?
11/10 - 135.9 - Thanks for the props friends. Planning to be indulgent tonight after work though, eating clean and exercising lots is no longer working for me. Driving out of town for work, so there will be less activity today. Not exactly giving up. My weight has fluctuated wildly every day from 191 pounds until now.
11/11 - 137.0 - New Format! I had Ribs and cocktails last night. Back to Chicken Breasts and Veggies : - )
11/12 - 137.2 - Hopefully topped out after Ribs and will begin to see it go down. However, back to late dinners because of my work schedule for the next couple of days.
11/13 - 137.1 - As usual, one day to put it on and many more than that to take it off. Plugging away.
11/14 - 136.4 - Glad to see a bit of a drop.
11/15 - 136.3 -Okay I guess.
11/16 - 137.8 -?? - I was on point with food choices and exercise, and even had dinner finished before 7pm. Argh. I will try not to get too upset with this, maybe just a fluctuation. Tomorrow will tell.
11/17 - 137.5 - What worked to help me lose 50 pounds seems to not be working now, but I am not willing to cut calories any more, and there is not enough time in the day for more activity than I already do. Going to keep trying nevertheless.
11/18 - 136.5 - Not ideal, but better. Somehow down a pound overnight. I didn't do anything differently.
11/19 - 137.4 - It is back. I was cruising around 131-132 for months. Disappointed, but I will just keep trying.
11/20 - DNW - I was up very early, and drinking water, coffee, juice...just didn't weigh.
11/21 - 139.2 - Up 5 pounds from this time last year. I had a muffin yesterday, 450 calories. Hadn't had a muffin in years. It was really yummy, kind of glad that I had it even though it probably affected my weight.
11/22 - 137.6 - Okay. There is hope that I can get below my start weight for the month. Day shifts only this week, so earlier dinners I believe will help.
11/23 - 136.6 - Oh, I hope that this continues to drop now that my shifts have changed to enable a normal dinner hour : - )
11/24 - 135.6 - Not the 130.6 that I was at before beginning to gain like crazy, but very very happy to see the continued dropping.
11/25 - 135.2 - The only thing that I am doing differently is being able to eat dinner earlier. Actually, I have also added Oatmeal into my daily, but I do that every year as the temps fall - I make 4 servings, put them in containers and take one to work each day. This batch includes Cranberry Sauce and Walnuts (and cinnamon of course). 100 calorie servings.
11/26 - 137.0 - Ouch. Hoping that it is just a fluctuation.
11/27 - 137.5 - Not happy about this, and don't get it. I was well within calories and had lots of activity. Groan

November Tracker

Hello again, everyone!!
My name is Ana. Some months after my husband passed away I was at my highest weight (180 lbs). Using MFP I was able to get back to a healthy weight through diet and exercise and I kept it off for years. Unfortunately, the pandemic has messed me up in many, profound ways that led to a Dr's visit on June 16th where I learned that I was back up to 156.4 lb. I am back to the MFP community to make myself accountable for my own health.
Highest Weight 2012: 180 lbs
2021 Highest (June): 156.4 lbs
November Start: 138.4
Ultimate goal: Be fit and at a healthy weight.
November Goal: My goal thus far has been to diet and exercise until I've reached and maintained 121 lb by the end of July of 2022. However, after deep reflection-and with some fear-, I've decided that for this month, my goal will be SELF LOVE and COMPASSION. This month:
1. I will weigh myself ONLY at the end of the month
2. I will exercise 4/5x a week to tone muscle
3. I will keep track of calories to maintain weight
11/06: Weekly goal accomplished-ish? After deep thought, I decided that SELF-LOVE and COMPASSION will be my healthiest and hardest goal for the month and I want to stick to it with the same fierceness that I did when my goal was to shed weight.
I planned my meals, tracked calories and listened to my satiety cues. I ate treats that were somewhat wholesome and nutritious. I didn't formally exercise but walked to work 4x even though it was very cold. I listened to my body's need to sleep over my anxiety to workout every morning.
I struggle with fear that I will gain back weight if I go back to consuming enough calories to maintain. I struggle with the compulsion to explain my decisions (am I trying to convince myself or to not be judged?)
11/13 I tried my best to keep track of calories. I wasn't the best at exercising since it was almost a week off of work for me. Still, I think I did okay. I tried to really rest and spent time doing things that I like.
11/20 Even though I eat more calories than before, I want treats at night and have available-but pre-portioned- Halloween junk that I've been eating on. I'm planning on stuffing my stash inside Christmas presents (is that genius, or evil? 🤔).
I've continued to exercise and take rest days.
I had to get weighed at the Dr's office last Wednesday, it was freeing to learn that I am not gaining weight but I continue to struggle with fear that I will.
11/28 I walked, exercised at home and struggled making myself move after rest days. Last week I ate more than my allowed calories EVERY DAY, sometimes by a lot, so I'm truly concerned even though my pants still fit okay. On the bright side, I've enjoyed spending time with my daughter back from college and I hope that shopping walks and Christmas decorating help burn all the yummy foods that I've been consuming 😅
I also hope that we all feel proud to be invested in our health, with all the ups and downs that weight loss brings about. Love to everyone! 💖
-A
Goals of the week:
1. Delicious, nutritious, filling, low cal meals
2. Listen to my satiety cues
3. Sleep at least 7 hrs every night
4. Continue morning exercise 4-5x/week
5. Continue walking to work 3-4x/week

I cannot just give up and throw in the towel! Of course my attitude when facing food is "I don't give a flying fig". That changes today. I'm not going to let the scale tip to 210 (especially since I saw 201 during the summer). I don't need an extra layer of fat to keep me warm during the winter!

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 61 years old and from the Midwest USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
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
Starting Weight (from Oct 31st): 188.2
Goal: 183.2 (Five lb Loss)
Actual Loss for November: xxxxx

11/21.…..188.4…..(Trend Weight 189.4)….. I am happy to see my trend weight going back down. I feel this is my true weight after a very large drop yesterday where I was likely dehydrated. I’ve got to log my food DAILY! It makes all the difference…..
11/22.…..187.2…..(Trend Weight 189.2)….. A nice drop on the scale after delayed TMI. Travel today will not help the cause but I will try to choose carefully.
11/23.…..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.
11/24.…..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!
11/25.…..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.
11/26.…..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.
11/27.…..…..(Trend Weight)
11/28.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)…… Somewhere I missed a day. Ugh. Anyway, this is being posted on the accurate day! 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.

My name is Tina, Height: 5'6" Age: 54
MFP starting weight: 149.2 (3/30/21)
October results: +1.8
October end weight: 136.6
November starting weight: 138.4
UGW: 130
11/01 - 138.4 ( 137.4 trend)
11/02 - 137.2 ( 137.4 trend) - binged a little last night before bed. Happy to see a loss
11/03 - 136.6 ( 137.3 trend)
11/04 - 135.8 ( 137.1 trend) - October gain is coming off. Plan to be good over the weekend.
11/05 - 135.6 ( 136.9 trend) - every little bit counts
11/06 - DNW
11/07 - DNW
Week 1: -2.8 - Not sure I should count it since I was unable to weigh the last two days
11/08 - 136.0 ( 136.9 trend) - stayed busy most of the weekend. Pleased that it was only a small gain for a change
11/09 - 135.8 ( 136.7 trend) - slow and steady. Hoping for 135 or lower by end of week.
11/10 - 135.8 ( 136.6 trend) - too much carrot cake to get a loss. I'll take no change
11/11 - 134.4 ( 136.3 trend) - shocked by this. Had a few cocktails and that tends to raise my numbers
11/12 - DNW
11/13 - DNW
11/14 - DNW
Week 2: -1.6 week/-4.0 month - Not an accurate count since I end up not weighing on weekends.
11/15 - 139.6 (137.4 trend) - totally ruined my progress. Not weighing and logging daily messes me up. I deserve this weight and all the work it will take to get it down. Let the fun begin....again
11/16 - 137.8 (137.5 trend) - happy with this. Just need to up the steps and get some exercise in
11/17 - 137.0 (137.4 trend) - I'll take it
11/18 - DNW - not sure where my head was this morning. Normally go straight to scale, but not today.
11/19 - 137.0 (137.3 trend) - surprised. Went a little crazy with the grazing while fixing dinner last night.
11/20 - DNW - no scale
11/21 - 137.4 (137.3 trend)
Week 3: -2.2 week / -1.0 month
11/22 - 138.6 (137.5 trend) - so close to just quitting. I cannot get my head in the game. I don't know what's wrong with me and the inability to just stop eating. Why I feel the need to eat something just because it is there, is beyond me.
11/23 - 140.0 (137.8 trend) - this is just not my week. Very angry at myself. Need to start giving a darn and fix this. I was doing so well when I started in April and the last 3 months have just been horrible. New day. Determined to show a loss tomorrow. I cannot end this month heavier than I started
11/24 - DNW - out of town for holiday
11/25 - DNW - out of town for holliday
11/26 - 140.0 (did not check trend) - used my mother's scales so not sure how accurate
11/27 - DNW - out of town for holiday
11/28 - 138.6 (did not check trend) - mom's scales
Week 4: no change / +.2 month
11/29 - 141.4 (138.6 trend) - sat in the car for over 7 hours yesterday and did not eat well. Hoping this comes off quickly. Will not be a good month. Would like to be at 11/1 starting weight, but not likely.

Just curious if a December thread has been started yet? Have been out of town for several days and not keeping up with posts until today.1

I am Dawn. 61 years old, 5'2"
MFP start weight 191, October 28.18
I have gained quite a bit over the last few months, time to turn that around.
Setting an aggressive Goal weight for November.
11/01 - 137.1
11/02 - 136.4 - Had a beautiful rare striploin and blackened prawns for dinner, Kanjac angel hair with fresh garlic, parmesan, and sour cream to accompany it. I ate half of all of it. Felt full for the first time in quite a while. Beef and prawns...I don't eat very often, must have needed the protein. I guess that I will be having it again tonight.
11/03 - 135.6 - Happy to see this coming down. Late dinners are becoming the norm because of my work schedule over the last few months and months to come. Maybe my body is getting used to it.
11/04 - 135.3 - I feel like Tina and I have been so close in weight whether we were gaining or losing. Of course she is 4" taller than me.
11/05 - 135.0 - Put on 4 pounds in one day on Thanksgiving, will it be 4 months to take off one day of delicious eating? I want this to be sustainable, I want to be able to eat fattening food here and there.
11/06 - 136.5 - Argh
11/07 - 137.5 - Lots of activity and healthy food. Totally don't understand this gain. Disheartening.
11/08 - 136.9 - Okay, better than yesterday, but still way too high. My check-in on MFP and pedometre are still at 130.6 - I don't think that I will be measuring and checking in again until I am under that amount
11/09 - 136.2 - What happened to the 135.0 from a few days ago?
11/10 - 135.9 - Thanks for the props friends. Planning to be indulgent tonight after work though, eating clean and exercising lots is no longer working for me. Driving out of town for work, so there will be less activity today. Not exactly giving up. My weight has fluctuated wildly every day from 191 pounds until now.
11/11 - 137.0 - New Format! I had Ribs and cocktails last night. Back to Chicken Breasts and Veggies : - )
11/12 - 137.2 - Hopefully topped out after Ribs and will begin to see it go down. However, back to late dinners because of my work schedule for the next couple of days.
11/13 - 137.1 - As usual, one day to put it on and many more than that to take it off. Plugging away.
11/14 - 136.4 - Glad to see a bit of a drop.
11/15 - 136.3 -Okay I guess.
11/16 - 137.8 -?? - I was on point with food choices and exercise, and even had dinner finished before 7pm. Argh. I will try not to get too upset with this, maybe just a fluctuation. Tomorrow will tell.
11/17 - 137.5 - What worked to help me lose 50 pounds seems to not be working now, but I am not willing to cut calories any more, and there is not enough time in the day for more activity than I already do. Going to keep trying nevertheless.
11/18 - 136.5 - Not ideal, but better. Somehow down a pound overnight. I didn't do anything differently.
11/19 - 137.4 - It is back. I was cruising around 131-132 for months. Disappointed, but I will just keep trying.
11/20 - DNW - I was up very early, and drinking water, coffee, juice...just didn't weigh.
11/21 - 139.2 - Up 5 pounds from this time last year. I had a muffin yesterday, 450 calories. Hadn't had a muffin in years. It was really yummy, kind of glad that I had it even though it probably affected my weight.
11/22 - 137.6 - Okay. There is hope that I can get below my start weight for the month. Day shifts only this week, so earlier dinners I believe will help.
11/23 - 136.6 - Oh, I hope that this continues to drop now that my shifts have changed to enable a normal dinner hour : - )
11/24 - 135.6 - Not the 130.6 that I was at before beginning to gain like crazy, but very very happy to see the continued dropping.
11/25 - 135.2 - The only thing that I am doing differently is being able to eat dinner earlier. Actually, I have also added Oatmeal into my daily, but I do that every year as the temps fall - I make 4 servings, put them in containers and take one to work each day. This batch includes Cranberry Sauce and Walnuts (and cinnamon of course). 100 calorie servings.
11/26 - 137.0 - Ouch. Hoping that it is just a fluctuation.
11/27 - 137.5 - Not happy about this, and don't get it. I was well within calories and had lots of activity. Groan
11/28 - 136.1 - No rhyme or reason. I should be used to this by now, the up and down, but I am not.
11/29 - 139.0 - ???? - I was "good", completely don't get it, and don't like it.
11/30 -
November Goal weight: 127.1 133.1 Less than what I started the month at.4 -
