Day/Weight/Comment:
11/8 – 234 - Back to where I was in August. Not good but looking forward not back!
11/9 – 231.2 – Met all round goals yesterday and feeling pretty great!
11/10 – 231.8 – I got some not so great news yesterday so all the healthy eating and goals went out the window. Honestly, surprised that the uptick wasn’t more! But today will be a good day.
11/11 – 229.2 – So happy with this number, just hope it’s real! Yesterday I ate well and exercised. Just gotta keep going! (PS - I hate this mfp update grrrrr)
11/12 – 228.2 – I had a subway salad last night but I didn’t get all the extra sauces like I normally do. I also worked out twice in am and pm and will try to keep doing that.
11/13 – 229 – My partner convinced me to have pizza last night but it was yummy and I tried to control my portions! I worked out once yesterday in the am.
11/14 - DNW
11/15 – 229.2 – Fine with this as this weekend was a toughie. Here’s to a new week!
11/16 – 229.2 – Stayed under my calorie goal but didn’t work out

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
11/8 207.9 Walked 3.3 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Wonderful jazz music brunch at Brennan’s with our adult children (they threw in their credit cards and would not let us pay), 60th birthday celebration for DH since we had the kids all together. Walked through our daughter’s new home built in 1948 … definitely a fixer upper in an up and coming area of town. She told her siblings she was pregnant at brunch. So much celebration this weekend. Taking my mom to the airport today and pulling the plug on gluttony for the rest of the week!
11/9 207.4 Walk 3 miles, Bike 20 min, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF.
11/10 206.7 Walked 1.3 + 1.3 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, weeding garden, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Still not journalling my food but I am paying more attention Mon & Tues. TODAY is the day I pull it all back together water, tracking every bite and exercise. Took the leftover pumpkin cookies & pear cake from the baby shower to alumnae social event last night instead of a bottle of wine. All the sweet temptations are gone!
11/11 205.5 Walked 1.6 + 3.1 + 1 miles, 1524 cal, 114 net carbs, AF. Donated blood (targeting 4x per year). Started journaling my food for the day in the morning again and then updating it throughout the day. Definitely makes me think before putting something else in my tummy and I’m more accountable.
11/12 207.0 Walked 1.8 + 1.4 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, 2267 cal, 151 net carbs, Torchy’s Tini. DH went to happy hour with clients. My sister stopped by to drop something off so we ended up going out as well. After I returned home I walked the dog once more before DH returned.
11/13 207.4 Walked 3.7 + 3.1 miles, 1642 cal, 118 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.
11/14 209.3 Walked 1 mile, 2431 cal, 242 net carbs, 1 wine, 1 blackberry liqueur w/ soda water. 11550 steps shopping at the Nutcracker Market with DD. DH’s birthday celebration with dear friends that included purple & gold layered cake.
11/15 207.1 Walked 3.2 miles, 1562 cal, 69 net carbs, 1 glass wine.
11/16 206.6 Walked 3.2 + 1 miles, 1574 cal, 126 net carbs, AF. Enjoyed book club eating reasonably at the restaurant and didn’t join the others drinking wine. Recommend “The Lost Apothecary” by Sarah Penner.

I'm a 5'7" 54yo woman in SE Michigan.
I did a couple rounds earlier this fall and found them helpful! Then, I got super busy, had some travel, fell off the bandwagon, and gained some weight back. 🙄 I'm ready to jump back in and continue the journey here!
SW: 161 lbs
UGW: 145 lbs.
11/08 - 161.0 Had a good day - so busy, I didn't have time to snack! (Now that's busy! ) I did squeeze in a short jog at the arb in the gorgeous weather.
11/09 - 161.2 A little uptick, but my body has a delayed reaction. I limited snacking and ate well. Need to drink more water.
11/10 - 161.0 Got into snacking this afternoon, particularly peanut butter which is my Achilles heel.
11/11 - 161.2 Another busy day with not much snacking.
11/12 - 159.6 Beautiful day; would like to get in a jog - but I threw out my back again and I probably can't. Might try a walk. Need to drink more H20.
11/13 - 159.8 Went out to a nice restaurant for dinner with friends the 2nd night in a row (different friends - LOL!). We'll see what the damage is tomorrow. My back is doing better; I do back exercises (from PT) 1x /day to keep problems at bay and increase to 2x/ day when my back is not doing well, and they're very helpful. Was all set to jog this afternoon - but rainy sleet started coming down just as I got to the arb. *sigh* Nope.
11/14 - 159.6 Ate at a restaurant for lunch with dh, but we made good choices. Ate french toast for dinner at friends' home
Snacks: 1 apple + 2 T granola
11/15 - 158.0 I have no explanation for the drop. 🤔 It could be a fluke. Ate well. Snacks = 1 banana, 1 apple, about 1 oz. cooked skinless chicken breast. Still no exercise, but my back is improving.
11/16 - 158.0

11/16 - 150.3 - It's a little drop, but a drop nonetheless. I feel like the bloating has gone down quite a bit, but I'm still feeling heavy. Likely due to no proper TMI yet. Hopefully here in the next few days! Lunch was a "grilled" chicken wrap (pan grilled, that is) with spinach, bell pepper, and avocado. Dinner was homemade chicken and dumplings. BF even allowed me to make my drop dumplings again! (I love baking and they taste even better than biscuits). Also made homemade banana bread (cut back on the sugar a tad) with the leftover bananas I had to freeze before camping. Also hit my 90oz of water. Today I have a choice of another chicken wrap or more chicken dumplings for lunch (thinking wrap because my avocado won't last). Dinner will likely be homemade asian food of some sort. Thinking of trying my hand at miso soup if BF is alright with it. I've made it before but not like FamWife does (I had powdered miso, she buys the squeezey bottle of it and it looks so much simpler) Thinking of getting dressed here in a few once it gets lighter out to take pup (and my lazy bum) for a walk. It'll be a nice prep for Saturday. I'm still not ready and I'm starting to get nervous.
11/17
Previous Day's Comments11/08 - Chili for dinner, that's all I can say about this. 80 oz water, only 10oz shy of what I normally try to drink so much better. Probably retaining some of it while I work to rehydrate. It will likely take a few days to flush out. Time change has my sleep messed so that's likely not helping, either. My birthday camping trip is this weekend since we had to postpone. Will be busy getting everything ready for that (:
11/09 - I'm beyond bloated this morning. Uncomfortably so, but at least not painful. BF had a gurgly stomach last night and he's thinking it was the chili finally getting to him. I'm wondering if that's my problem as well. No proper TMI is also adding to the scale. Water was okay, about 80oz. Instead of a workout, we reorganized house to bring BF's office back in the house now that it's getting a tad too chilly to be in the garage. It has a window unit AC, but no heat in there. Hopefully come January, we will be in a good enough place to look to buy a house that suits our needs so we don't have to have him taking over our dining room. (Especially frustrating when I'm working from home and he has to be on camera. The front door is in full view and only a corner of the living room is hidden. I have to plan my potty breaks, me leaving/coming home, and getting food from the kitchen around his meeting schedule to avoid being on camera.) Today I'm not sure about anything. Crazy meetings coming up right around the time it is warm/light enough out to walk. And food, well, getting ready for a weekend away so we've been trying to use up perishables before we go, limiting my healthy selection. I think I have one bag of salad left I might munch on.
11/10 - Better day yesterday! Did have a small bedtime snack of caramel popcorn to kill sweet tooth cravings. Thankfully it's really sweet to me so a small handful was more than enough. Other than that, stayed fairly well on track food-wise. Also managed my full 90oz water, yippee! Leftover tacos from dinner I'll munch on at lunch. Likely make more of a salad out of it than a taco like last night. Avoid those carbs. Unsure of dinner. BF was craving wings and the only good place in town to that has wings was closed last night so I'm anticipating eating out tonight. I should be able to plan around that, though.
11/11 - Quite happy with this drop off despite eating out last night. I was careful with food throughout the day and tried to make decent choices with what we have. Work sent me a $10 Starbucks gift card and my mom sent me $10 cash as well for Veteran’s day. BF has an awful day at work today (and is also a Veteran) so I’ll use those $20 to get us something from there. (We neither like Starbucks, but free is free. Long story short, he had a very bad experience with corporate telling him he’s a baby killer and they didn’t support the military while trying to order items while deployed. Target did something like that as well so we take our business elsewhere. They even took the money but refused to ship anything. It was all basic stuff like toothpaste, toothbrush, toilet paper.) Anyway, that’s my splurge. Tonight will be a nice dinner of pork chops, collard greens, and salad from Fam. Tomorrow will be my last weigh-in until Monday as we are tent camping and I won’t have my scale.
11/12 - Didn’t really want to post this. We had an amazing all out dinner of pork chops, collard greens (made the not as healthy way), fried okra, smoked venison sausage, rice, and gravy. Whew. Delicious, but my body definitely is showing the aftermath today. Quite alright, our meals for camping are straightforward and portioned for the weekend. Water wasn't exactly ideal. Will work on that best I can today pending the 2.5 hour drive. We have plenty of water coming with us, though, so shouldn't be a problem. Tomorrow marks 1 week until my 5k and I'm not ready still haha I pulled off a 5k on Halloween, though, so I don't see why I can't pull off this one. Plus, I'll have other runners around me to use as motivation to keep going unlike Halloween.

11/15 - Well, that was interesting. Food was controlled (until last night) but water was a tad tricky. The bathrooms were not close like the map showed when I picked the campsite. It was also FRIGID. Ended up getting down to about 26 degrees Friday night. Needless to say, I didn’t drink enough water because I was NOT getting out of my sleeping bags (yes I had more than one. Thankfully) Last night we were so tired after unloading we went to the local Chinese food place so he could get sushi and I got sesame chicken. Not the best choice, but I was just happy to be somewhere warm and wanted warm food. Back on track today with water and food. Need to stop at the store to get some fresh veggies this afternoon for me to munch on. Saturday is race day so I’m hoping I get back down and this bloat/weight doesn’t make it that much more difficult. Goal is back to 146 or so by Saturday. Even better if lower.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/08 - 217.2 I set my goal for this round to 215 because that will put me into "overweight" BMI. I've been snacking A LOT lately but I've also been working out like a madman so I feel like it's deserved. A healthy relationship with food is important to establish getting closer to the goal. Had my booster shot on Saturday and that knocked me out but still had a 45 minute PR on the Peloton.
11/09 - 218.9 My body does not like the beginning of the week lol. I didn't work out so that definitely plays a factor but this is every Monday/Tuesday. Took progress pictures this morning though and it's honestly crazy to see beginning of weight loss vs now.
11/10 - 215.2 I was surprised so I weighed on the back-up scale and got the same number. I don't make the news, I just report it. 3 rides and a 1.25 mile walk with the pups between last weigh in and this also very light lunch. This number made my day to be honest.
11/11 - 215.6 Glad to see others aren't loving the new update. Everything seems ... big. Oh well it's day 1 so we'll get used to it I suppose. Glad to see that my weight didn't go up too much today!
11/12 - 214.2 Loved seeing this drop this morning! Great way to kick off the weekend where I always push myself harder working out. Have a goal of 212 by Thanksgiving which looks very attainable right now. Oh also I'm just overweight now? Bye obese!
11/13 - 213.4
11/14 - 213.0
11/15 - 211.9 Wow! Wow wow wow! As mentioned last time I wanted 212 by Thanksgiving (next Thursday for those not from the states). This is a very welcome surprise! It seems a few members here have had a nice drop this round. And those who haven't just keep going and it'll come!
11/16 - 211.2 Happy about this number and did a great workout this morning but it's free coffee day at Wawa and for whatever reason I grabbed a breakfast sandwich. So net 0 on the workout. Just have to be good for the rest of the day.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/8 / 198.8 / Haven't had an overnight jump that large in a while. My period did start yesterday. I ate on point though and walked almost 20,000 steps plus a Peloton bike ride. Had a very great day and off to make today another one.
11/9 / 198.6 / Donated blood yesterday. Super busy day today! Have moved a lot already so hoping to see the scale down some more again tomorrow.
11/10 / 199.2 / Got all my movement in early yesterday as we were volunteering at night. Ate a big salty snack right before bed but it fit within my calories.
11/11 / 197.4 / Alright - almost back to where I started. Yesterday we had a yummy salmon dinner and I rode my Peloton for the longest ride yet (45 mins).
11/12 / 196.6 / Got a lot of exercise yesterday and felt great about it. Today was a very busy day at work - so glad the weekend is here!
11/13 / 195 / Things are rolling now. It seems as I drop weight my body has become much more sensitive to my TOM than it did almost 100 pounds ago (or I was losing so fast back then it wasn't as detectable to me). In any event, it's interesting watching how the body works. Had a great day of eating again yesterday and got my exercise in.
11/14 / 192.2 / Wow - after holding on to weight for the first part of this round my body is sure flushing it out now! I have officially passed the 100+ pounds lost with this weigh-in! So excited.
11/15 / 192.8 / Did my first Peloton Bike Bootcamp yesterday (bike/strength combo) and it kicked my butt! So glad most of the big drop I had yesterday held.
11/16 / 193.6 / At my round goal weight so hoping I can hold for tomorrow as that just feels so good psychologically. Good day yesterday but I did eat a fair bit of my calories late due to a volunteer commitment. Did yoga, Peloton and walked.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

I have NO explanation for this bump up from yesterday. Ok, yes I do but it involves an overabundance of information.
11/9: 206.6
Marginal day of following my self-imposed rules yesterday.
11/10: 205.6
Important work being done here. I wish I could remember that every day.
Had a spinning class last evening after work. I was there a few minutes early so I decided to do some upper body dumb-bell exercise. Very proud of myself for staying in my lane. The young lady next to me was using twice the weight I was lifting. Others were at many multiples more. I put my ego in my pocket and wasn’t even tempted to “look strong,” or “feel week!”
Very satisfying muscle soreness this morning and no injuries. Getting wise in my old age.
11/11: 206.2
I am totally fine in this neighborhood. I need to train my metabolism to like it here. I need my metabolism to trust me. “No Mr. Metabolism, I will never starve you. So, you can burn away at your heart’s content. No need to hoard calories and store them for later!”
OK, that was weird.
11/12: 205.6
This new format reminds me what it feels like to unexpectedly see friends from back home while you are on vacation.
11/13: 205.8
This reading is better than I deserve after yesterday’s behavior. Regardless, I am at my lowest 10-day running average since September.
Looks like they have reinstated things so I can at least post the way I usually do. I keep a Word document and copy/paste from it each day. And the spoilers are back, 😊
Still can’t check in on your posts with my phone.
11/14: 205.2
Worked my buns off yesterday in the yard. (too bad buns are not my “problem” area. HA!) Ate half a frozen pizza and still lost weight! The rest of yesterday’s food was reasonable.
Today will be another story. Pizza out with folks to celebrate Mom’s birthday, then a turkey dinner+potluck for supper at church before the annual meeting.
Still can’t check in on your posts with my phone.
11/15: 208.2
As expected. Good Monday to all of you.
11/16: 206.6
This is shaping up to be an ok round. I need to make hay while the sun shines, because the next round ends Saturday after Thanksgiving (US). 😊
Glad my phone access to MFP Communities is back!

Hello everyone, late joining this group. Joined mfp yesterday and thought I'd give it a try.
Been at this weight for a long time and decided it was time get moving on losing the excess lbs and to getting healthier. Better to do it with like minded people, instead of alone. With the holidays looming in the very near future, now's a good time as any to start this new journey.
SW: 299.2
Day/Weight/Comment:
11/12: 299.2
11/13: 297.8 ⬇️ (-1.4 lbs)
11/14: 296.4 ⬇️ (-1.4)
11/15: 294 ⬇️ (-2.4) I seem to have found what works best for me at this time ( but, as some of you know!) When losing weight this could always change in the future. Mfp's daily calorie intake is set at (1,554) I try to stay around that daily goal. At this time I eat whatever I want in moderation, will adjust accordingly, as my weight changes. This is just a restart on my weight loss journey.
11/16: 294.4 ⬆️ (-0.4 oz) I had an appointment late yesterday afternoon, to have all my vital organs checked out. That are around and just below, and behind my rib cage. I had to do a complete fast, which meant (no food or liquids, including water) from around 7 pm the night before to after 5 pm yesterday. My body is used to having a lot of water, and I believe this is the main reason for the slight gain this morning.
11/17:11 -
Let’s do this!
This is round 8 for me.
161 SW: 222.2
EW: 221.6
162 EW: 218.6
163 EW: 211.8
164 EW: 211.6
165 EW: 206.0
166 EW: 206.2
167 EW: 203.2
Round 168 goals: Pelo 2-3x/week; strength training 2-3x/week; 10,000 steps/day; <90 net carbs/day; lose as much weight as I can!
SW: 203.2
11/8: 201.8 53 net carbs, Pelo ride done, and step goal achieved. I’m starting to see a pattern emerging with the way my body loses now- stalling for about 2 weeks surrounding TOM, then suddenly dropping a lot all at once for about 10 days before starting the pattern again. That makes it feel like I have very little time each month to lose, but if it’s going to be bunch within those 10 days, then it’s really not so bad after all.
11/9: 201.6 63 net carbs, step goal achieved, and strength workout done. I had an incident where I had my injera recipe put into the MFP recipe calculator previously, but made it a little different this time but didn’t edit the recipe until after I already ate it. Still managed to pull off a good day in spite of the injera incident though, so I’m happy with that 0.2 loss! I also am wearing a pair of size 10 jeans today- the first time I’ve actually worn them since I bought them a few weeks ago as a motivator. Talk about a confidence boost!
11/10: 200.8 I’m so close to under 200 I can taste it! I was concerned pizza night night cause issues, but it obviously didn’t. 77 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done. Come on 199!!!
11/11: 201.8 Well, here we are again. I’m not exactly surprised, just disappointed. I was hoping for another day or two to drop below 200 before the hormonal stall. No such luck. If this time around is anything like last time, that puts the end of the stall coming on Thanksgiving, just in time for the feasting day. Womp womp. Lol But it’ll pass, I know that! I can still very easily see <200 by the end of the month! 70 net carbs, step goal achieved, and strength training done yesterday.
11/12: 200.8 39 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done. Maybe, just maybe I’ll see that 199 tomorrow yet. If not, then I’m sure it’ll be another couple of weeks. We’re attending a weeding out of state tomorrow evening, which means eating a few meals out this weekend. It’ll be what it’ll be, and I’ll be under 200 pretty darn soon regardless!
11/13:199.8 YAHOOOOOOO!! All I wanted was to see that 1 in front by today. We’re heading out of town for a wedding and I just wanted that 199.x before a little bit of planned indulgence. 34 net carbs and step goal achieved yesterday.
11/14: DNW carbs ??? Step goal ??? Wedding out of town last night, so I gave myself permission to enjoy the night after I had a well navigated lunch. Back at it today!
11/15: 199.0 I really had no idea what to expect, after the wedding and riding in the car for 5 hours each day both Saturday and Sunday. I was shocked in the most delightful way to see this drop! 21 net carbs and a Pelo ride done yesterday. Didn’t hit my step goal due to car ride, but still a successful day!
11/16: 198.4 I really thought I was starting the dreaded monthly stall a few days ago, but apparently not?! Whatever, I’ll take it! 56 net carbs yesterday, step goal only missed by a few, and accidental forgot my strength training due to driving my husband to the airport which took 2.5 hours. I’ll get it in today, no worries!

Challenge 166: 216.8 (-1.8) Challenge 167: 215.6 (-1.2)
11/8 216 (+.4) Hiked 6+ miles with my sister yesterday. It was a beautiful day in the mountains. I should be on a downward trend tomorrow. No scheduled exercise today, but I’ll be drinking lots of water.
11/9 215.4 (-.2) Today, I’m back in the pool. My low weight was last Friday. I had my indulgence meal Friday night and I’m still trying to catch back up. No hugs necessary. Just playing some mind games that come along with losing weight. As long as I stay focused, the whoosh will come.
11/10 213.6 (-2.0) This was my lowest weight last round so I’m glad to see it back on the scale today. Drank all my water yesterday and had a wonderful swim. No organized exercise today.
11/11 213.8 (-1.8) Today I’m meeting a friend for lunch, so I’ll have an indulgence meal. I’m sure I’ll be over calories, but I will be eating lighter for breakfast and dinner. Still on a downward trend overall.
11/12 214.2 (-1.4) I’ve been bouncing around in this area for the last ten days. I’m not surprised, but still a little frustrated. So I’m going to focus on eating right and exercising with the goal of being under 210 by the end of the month and leaving this struggle in the dust. Life’s been busy, in a good way, but I’m definitely not getting all my water in. Still logging and exercising, so it will come.
11/13 213.8 (-1.8) My weight is coming back down. Hoping for a new low this week. Swimming was great. No organized exercise today, but will be hiking with my sister tomorrow. Wow. We are already more than halfway through this round.
11/14 213.4 (-2.2) A new low…finally…
11/15 212.4 (-3.2) Yay! On November 1st, I weighed 215, so I’m really only down 2.6 pounds for the month, my slowest month of loss so far. I was feeling stuck and doing my best to stay on track. This feels really good today. My sister and I hiked almost five miles yesterday. No organized exercise on the schedule today, so I’ll drink my water and stay under calories.
11/16 211.6 (-4.0) I guess my body is letting go of the extra weight that hasn’t come off the last few weeks. I tentatively stepped onto the scale not sure what to expect. What a wonderful surprise. Less than 12 pounds away from being under 200 pounds and halfway to my goal weight!!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/8 206 Off to a better start
11/9 207.8 We went out for lunch yesterday and I had a cheeseburger with salty fries. I did drink more water than usual and I am hoping that is why there is a big gain. We will see if that is why tomorrow but staying vigilant today. My goal is to be under 200 and into the100’s by end of the year. I need to be better!
11/10 206.4 A lot of work outside with raking the leaves. Also it looks like water retention from Monday’s lunch is gone. Now to have a good day today. Husband is on radiation treatment #12 of 20 and everything at this moment is good. Keeping everything in perspective and positive.
11/11 205.6 I’m finally starting to see some progress. Just need to think hard about how to get through the holiday season. One day at a time I guess.
11/12 205.2 I’m happy with that. I really thought that I would be up a little bit today. When we began this round I thought my end round goal of 204 was a bit high for this time of the year but maybe not. I‘ll be happy to just get close.
11/13 204.8 Yeah! 😆
11/14 204.6 Not expecting this. We went out for lunch yesterday and I thought there would be a gain today. Any loss is a positive in my book.😄
11/15 204.8 Happy with this. Still staying basically the same.
11/16 205.4 That’s disappointing.😕 We did a lot of leaf raking yesterday and I’m sore and tired today. Still have a huge pile to finish up today. Hoping this gain is due to water retention. Oh well, I’ll keep on trying. Gotta look at all the exercise I got in yesterday.😊

Yes my children are in awe of the jigsaw puzzles. However they knock them to pieces to the floor very easily. My cat years ago, would enjoy taking them off the coffee table. I haven't done a crossword in awhile because the app died but Sudoku I do regularly.5

11/15: 205.6 I had a good weekend. Friday night was a little rough. Very hungry after dinner but otherwise I made healthy decisions. As I said, I relaxed my mind with a puzzle and maybe it is beneficial on that stress cortisol that is fighting its way onto my body. My workout routine has not changed much 15 minute Zumba every weekday morning a half an hour walk during lunch during the weekdays. Zumba for an hour on Saturday. Go for a walk with my babies or play ball in the yard on Sundays. The hardest part for me is fighting the urge for candy at work. Last year I drank tea in the afternoon to help with the craving. If I can keep my mind right…

@quiltingjaine Thanks for the info. I have been having such severe Charlie Horses in my feet every night in bed that have been so painful and almost unbearable. I have pink salt. I will take a pinch in the evening before bed. There you go, proving how invaluable you are again! I love you here!7 -

Day/Weight/Comment
11/07 …..189.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/08 …..189.2 ….. (Trend weight xxxxx) Not off to a great start with the scale. Late night snacks brought on by excessive hunger. I worked hard in the yard yesterday for over 3 hours and burned over 700 calories just in raking. Those calories can come in much faster than they leave!
11/09 …..189.6 ….. Trend weight xxxxx) No TMI again. Very early weigh-in after, essentially, no sleep and all those other excuses. Yesterday it was not on my daughter. It was on me. I know what good habits are. I know what low calorie is and what low carb can do to help me. I recognize the right foods. It’s time to stop glancing at it all and start staring at what I need to do. It has been out of control since just before my surgery.
11/10 …..189.6 ….. (Trend weight 188.6) I just realized my fitbit wasn’t linking to my trendweight.com so my trending weights have been off. I think It may have something to do with my daughter’s new fitbit I bought her for her birthday. It may be scrambling up my info. I found another way to get it in the meantime so I’ve included it today. Sheesh….this is worse than I thought or imagined!
11/11 …..189.6 ….. (Trend weight 188.6)
11/12 …..189.4 ….. (Trend weight 188.8) I can’t take this many changes at once on the new format. I will work on trying to get my spoiler available but hidden first in order to shorten my posts again. Dr. appointment yesterday for surgery follow-up. They are trying to find me a cardiologist and an endocrinologist within 100 miles of my home (rural area). They also have to accept my insurance. Wish me luck on that!!!!!
11/13 ……189.2….. (Trend weight 189.0) I am happy to see a smaller number on the scale. However my trend weight just keeps going up and is almost matching my weight. I made yesterday a better day with some better choices. I am aiming for another good day. I hope this challenge will keep going and that we will not lose so many important people. Each and every one of you offer insight and value and I appreciate you all!
11/14 …..191.0 ….. (Trend weight 189.2) Traveled yesterday. Weight showed up from dinner out and lots of car driving (inactivity). I’ll work it off today as much as possible. Heavy snow outside so nothing there due to slippery. One handyman coming today so I’ll have to get creative on exercise. Obviously I am disappointed that one meal would make such a negative difference.
11/15 …..191.0 ….. (Trend weight 189.3) I ate leftover Chinese food from my travel day. Other meals were good too. Snacks were definitely better. I honestly thought I would see a zero-point-something drop but not today. Something I have to look forward to, I guess.
11/16 …..189.6 ….. (Trend weight 189.4) There’s the drop I was expecting yesterday! Yay on the 1.4 lb weight drop. Very on-point meals yesterday. But I did sneak into DGS’s Halloween candy bucket. Just being honest folks! Virtually no exercise yesterday but water was pretty good. Aiming for a great day today so that I can hit goal of “any loss” for this round, but after today’s loss it is far-reaching to lose over ½ pound again overnight. We’ll see!
