Starting challenge weight: 178 lb
January 31st goal weight: 169 lb
Non-scale challenge: to complete my food diary every day
Weigh in will be Tuesdays
178 pounds on Nov. 2
175.5 on Nov. 9
175.5 on Nov. 16
I have completed by food diary every day since last week. This is definitely eye opening. In the past I would sometimes eat a late night snack and think, “no harm done”, but logging it and then completing the diary presses home the fact that it ALL counts. I’m proud of myself for sticking with it.8 -
Hello Everyone--I’m off to a good start with this challenge! This past week was relatively easy since my husband was out of town for most days, and I had full control of meals. We had a pre-Thanksgiving dinner with my in-laws, and I ate a reasonable amount of food and dessert. I’m mentally preparing for my sons birthday party this weekend, and Thanksgiving next week. I haven’t made a start to the C25K program since I’ve been sick, but once I’m feeling better, I’ll get started!

My name is Donna and I am 61 years old. I live in the Midwest of the USA. 5' 5" tall. My starting weight was 253. I have relapsed in the past year and need to get back on track. I am type 2 diabetic and in remission for breast cancer. Health is my #1 priority.
Thank you @RubyRed427 for starting another challenge.

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Nov 01…..189.4…..(Trend Weight: 187.7)…..What a horrid way to start the month. Pizza and Halloween candy were present but not to blame. It’s on me.
Nov 03…..189.0…..(Trend Weight: 187.9)….. Weight down a touch, but trending up. Good news on my surgery results. No sign of breast cancer in the surgical tissue lumpectomy. So it looks like I may be around awhile folks! Today is my daughter’s 27th birthday who lives with me. There will be festivities, food, cake, ice cream etc. So many reasons to double celebrate today for us! Tomorrow, back on track! Snow again here today. Outside too cold but I will try to get my steps in the house around the renovation men. The tile project should be done by tonight. Another week or two of men working and I will get a break until after New Years. I can’t wait!
Nov 10…..189.6…..(Trend Weight: 188.6)…..I’ve been eating horribly since I found out I needed the surgery. The surgery is over but the bingeing hasn’t stopped. It’s time to get myself back in control. This is counter-productive!
Nov 17…..189.8…..(Trend Weight: 189.4)….. My mind wants to believe that my diet is improving but clearly it’s not. Gotta make some changes (again).

I'm losing hope and feeling disappointed with my progress. It's a vicious cycle. I haven't been doing very well lately and I really want to change that. I'm sick of this, but I don't want to give up, I will try to achieve the goal weight of 160 by Jan. I promise myself this.9 -

Hello all! I am going to give this a try. I have been actively watching my CICO for almost 2 years. In the spring I started eating gluten free-ish (about 95%) to help alleviate symptoms from hashimoto's. I started Dec 1, 2019 at 231.0 lbs. I am a 38 year old mom of two who "loves" to run half marathons.
11/1: 203.4 lbs - 20 days out from my half marathon and no motivation to train.
11/2: 202.6 lbs - yesterday was a good day eating wise but not much exercise.
11/3: 202.4 lbs - I was able to get in a run yesterday and my husband made an awesome GF lasagna. good day all around!
11/4: 202.2 lbs - Not much activity yesterday but I kept my calories in line.
11/5: 201.6 lbs - I weighed in much later today which is probably most of the decrease. I ran 2 miles yesterday. I am 2 weeks out from my half marathon and couldn't do my last long run last weekend bc I was sick. So I broke my 12 miler over today and tomorrow. I ran 6 this afternoon and will run 6 tomorrow morning. I am eating gluten today bc Chick-fil-A chicken tenders sounded way too good after my run but I only ate half my fries bc I was full. Have a great weekend all!!
11/6: 202.0 lbs - I expected the increase due to the Chick-fil-A. I was only able to get in 3 miles this morning. I haven't eaten well today but stayed within my calories.
11/7: 201.8 lbs - not great for eating today. We will see what happens to the scale tomorrow.
11/8: DNW - I had to run out to the school bc my daughter forgot her glasses, so I did not weigh in. Happy Monday everyone!!
11/9: 202.8 lbs - I've been under calories everyday... frustrating but just the way it goes.
11/10: 202.0 lbs - I've been eating fairly well but not wanting to be active.
11/11: 202.0 lbs - happy thursday!
11/12: 200.6 lbs - I'm sure this loss will rebound a little. I weighed in late and did not eat much yesterday.
11/13: 200.6 lbs
11/14: 201.8 lbs
11/15: 202.2 lbs
11/16: 201.6 lbs - I ran a quick 2 miler yesterday. I am 5 days out from my half marathon and now it is time for the obsessive checking of the weather forecast. Ha!
11/17: 202.4 lbs - 4 days out current temps should be in the low 50s with 25% chance of rain.....
11/18: DNW
11/19: 201.0 lbs - 2 DAYS from half marathon!!! I'm now on to the hourly forecast. We are now up to mid 50s with 50% chance of rain.8 -

Goal weight Jan 31 = 241
Ultimate Goal Weight = 170
Nov 13 = 256.0
Nov 20 = 251.2
A good first week but being realistic that not every week will be like this. Could be some water weight, etc. that came off at first. Will be happy if I reach a healthy 1-2 lb loss per week going forward. Slow and steady wins the race.
I had been focusing on exercising for several weeks which firmed me up but no weight loss. Now I'm taking the approach to net 1,800-2,000 calories daily and up my protein intake to around 30% of my calories to make sure I stay full and don't burn lean body mass. Exercise can make me ravenous so I'm ramping that back up slowly to keep my appetite as steady as possible.
I hope everyone has a great weekend and good success with your weight loss journeys!11 -
