@shannonkelly08,
Sorry for what you're going through and hope you find comfort and peace at this time. I really do understand! Went through the same thing with my own mother a few years ago. This time is for you, please take care of yourself, and remember your special and deserve only good in your life. 💕🌹🙏

If things continue the way they are with my weight loss, may have to change my goal for November. 😀

I was surprised 🤩 to see a loss this morning! Because, I over ate yesterday. 😩 Still may see a gain tomorrow morning when I weigh in. However, I will be very mindful of what goes into my mouth today, with the hope of a loss and not a gain. 😀

deepwoodslady · November 2021

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.

Start Weight: 188.2 (Weight on Oct 31, 2021)
Goal Weight: 173.2
End Weight: xxxxx

Short term goal: To lose about 5 pounds per month.
Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know it when I get there!)

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

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!

lizziebtothec · November 2021

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.

shannonkelly08 · November 2021

@ZaraDream3 Thank you so much! I appreciate all the kind words and support! Life isn't always what we hoped it would be but we learn from it and make the best life we can with the cards we are dealt with. The chapter is closed and now it's time for me

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.

Hello Everyone--Usually I just lurk in forums, but this looks like a good challenge for me to join! For the past year I've been wishing my covid weight away, but I'm finally motivated to become healthier. My goals for the next 3 months are to lose 13 pounds (goal weight 145lbs), complete the Couch to 5K program, and enjoy the holidays.

Nov 1. 158 lbs

Nov. 10. 156.2 lbs

Hi! is it too late to join in on this Challenge? I need some motivation from people working towards the same goal. To be honest this is the first time I have ever joined in on a challenge. Cheers to a healthier future, and luck not eating everything through the holidays.

I'm pushing myself to get out for at least 45minutes of walking, 5 days a week right after my coffee in the morning. The difference in my mood (depression)and energy is such a welcome change!!!

So glad I found this group🙏

I’m probably going to weigh in every week but try to update every day for accountability.

I participated in the last challenge so I’m happy to do this one, too. I’m starting in a little late, but I keep track so I can refer back to the date I should have started:

Starting challenge weight: 178 lb

January 31st goal weight: 169 lb

Weigh in will be Tuesdays

178 pounds on Nov. 2

175.5 on Nov. 11 - Woot, woot!!! We have progress!

I saw my dietician on November 5th and she was very encouraging (I didn’t meet my October 31st goal from last time). She thinks that I am doing great, particularly in light of the death of my beloved FIL since I last saw her (and the fact that this is the season of when my husband and I were caregivers for my sister while she had pancreatic cancer and she passed away in the beginning of December - lots of traumatic memories around this time of year).

My dietician suggested challenging myself for something other than weight. I’m doing well with logging into MFP daily, and also logging the majority of my meals, but I often fail to “complete my diary” at the end of the day. So, I said I’d see if I can do that. So far, so good.

Well this is no surprise. I moved less and ate more this week. I have no excuse other than the blues and a bit of lethargy.

I recently saw on line that the Pioneer Woman. Ree Drummond, has lost 60 lbs. Now if a woman that has a cooking show for a living can manage to lose weight, I know I can. I just need to stop the boredom, comfort eating.
