Happy Monday all!! Well, today was supposed to be my weigh-in day but I think I will take a pass...I don't think I gained or lost but it was a terrible week so today is a reset day/week! My mom who I have been estranged from for 10 years passed away and stirred up a lot of bad memories for me...we never had a relationship and in fact, I wasn't even mentioned in the will...expected that but nonetheless still hurts to know that your mom didn't care. So I reset and forge ahead as I deal with these mix of emotions! It's all about the journey and being the best version of ourselves!!! Have a great well all!!!

Height: 5'5"
Highest Weight: 174.0 lbs (6/7/21)
Challenge Starting Weight: 164.8 lbs
Challenge Goal: 147 lbs (healthy BMI)
Ultimate Goal: 130 lbs
November 1st Weight: 164.8 lbs
November Goal: 159 lbs
---November thoughts: Hi everyone! I lost about 10 lbs. in the last challenge, so while not a crazy amount, it definitely was motivational for me! I like the idea of a 3 month goal as it allows some room for flexibility and adjustments, but not so much that you feel like you can slack. And with it being the holidays, I'll need to stay balanced more than ever and remember that a holiday is a holiday, not a holiweek.---
I set my challenge goal for 147 lbs, which would put me at a healthy BMI again. I felt so fantastic in the 140s last year and can't wait to get back. But first, we gotta hit the 150s! So that's my goal for this month! Then I figured I'd give myself the other two months to lose the next 10 lbs, which I figure is more flexible with the holidays in case I have weeks where I only manage to maintain.
11/1: 164.8 lbs
11/8/21: 164.2 lbs
I am ecstatic about this number! While only 0.6 lbs. down from last Monday, it's actually 3 lbs. down from my highest this week thanks to lots of leftover Halloween candy and some overeating in general. So to get back down feels awesome! I am really hoping to get to 162 next week, as that will be my lowest in over a year!8 -

I’m in! I hope that this challenge will restart my weight loss journey after a break.
I am 5’10” and my heaviest weight was 215 lbs.
I’m probably going to weigh in every week but try to update every day for accountability.

I pushed myself this past week with 5 out of 7 days of exercise minutes, and followed my calorie intake….for the most part.😏
5 out of 7 days I stayed at or under, and 2 days I binged and went about 500+ calories over. But all in all the calories for the week averaged out to be just below my daily goal.
What I learned……MOVE! I need to keep this level of exercise minutes going not just for weight loss but for my mental health.
My big binge day…..I bought 2 cinnamon buns Tuesday night for super, with containers of icing 🧁 It was delicious! But I had another horrible migraine the next day which knocked me on my A**. Migraines have been weekly of late and totally related to sugar intake! Stay as far away from refined sugar as is reasonable do-able. I bought sugar free jello for that after dinner craving.
I read some large weight loss success stories on here for inspiration…..may I just say WOW
I’m feeling hopeful today, that perhaps getting down to 140lb may even be possible! I haven’t felt hopeful for a while, and it feels good😁
I get migraines too, Ive not noticed sugar being a trigger but I'm going to pay attention.5 -

I'm sorry to hear this, my relationship wasn't great with my dad and I was really thrown by his death (back 10 years ago). Good for you for resetting. I found I needed to grieve the relationship I wanted and didn't have rather than the one I did have.6 -
I'm continuing from the last challenge. I lost 6 pounds. My goal is to keep moving toward a plant-based eating plan and ultimately get my weight into a BMI of 22-23 or about 125-128 pounds. I'm 71 and fighting hard to keep all the same "metabolic junk" away that shows up in my family as they get older because I don't want to end up with a bunch of prescriptions. I'm working out with weights and doing low-impact aerobics and walking. I was weighing in on Wed, but I've switched to Mon now ... maybe I'll be more accountable on the weekends that way.

I’m whittling it back down, NOW, before it takes up residence!
I also found out I’m 5’8” now (1/2” shorter than I was in 2015) so once I get back in my maintenance range, I will set a new, lower maintenance range- to be more in line with shorter height.
Thank you for this challenge!

I have got to stop yo yo dieting. Portion control is the only thing that works for me. I will go back to weighing in on Fridays and post it here, the good, bad and the ugly. Good luck and good health to all!5

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 hasimoto'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.5 -

@shannonkelly08 I am so sorry for the loss and all the bad memories and mixed emotions that it brings. Not all relationships are are good or fair and I understand how difficult that can be. I have had some important relationships not work myself. Praying you will find peace with all your feelings.7 -

Aug Starting weight: 134.8
Current weight: 130.1
Goal weight: 120
11/2 130.1
11/9 130.7 (+0.6)
Not sure why the scale is going up as I stayed within calories and spent 6 hours at the gym last week and have already logged an additonal 4 hours of strength training and spinning thus far this week. Weight loss was sooo much easier prior to menopause
