Hi there!
My name is Ashley, I'm 35 years old, and in early 2021 I weighed 293 pounds.
I have spent a good portion of this year in my maintenance range (160-165). However, after a big trip in September, I'm above it. Time to get back to under 165!
October Start Weight: 172.2
October Goal Weight: 165 or less
October 1 - 172.2 (I ended September in a big fury of work related stress. Happy October 1! Looking forward to setting a positive tone for this month.)
October 2 - 171.4 (Yesterday we biked over 40K in the mountains and today we are going to hike around 5K. The fall weather in Alberta is gorgeous right now.)
October 3 - 171.4 (Worked from home, walked my dog at lunch, rode the Peloton after work, and then ate salad for supper. Good day.)
October 4 - 172 (Started with an early morning call for work that got the adrenaline going. I'll walk at lunch and see how I feel after work to do more.)
October 5 - 172.8 (Had a good day yesterday. Lots of steps and a Peloton ride.)
October 6 - 171.8 (Flying to Toronto with my hubby and dog to visit some family for Canadian Thanksgiving.)
October 7 - 170.2
October 8 - 169.4
October 9 - 168.2
October 10 - 169.8 (On our flight home after a lovely visit with my MIL. We had a nice Thanksgiving meal last night. Missing her already.)
October 11 - 169.8 (Tough day, put myself to bed right after work, husband convinced me to get up for a light supper. Got 10,000 steps at least and ate under on calories.)
October 12 - 169.2 (Coming to terms with what I can do in limited time. Trying to find ways to make peace with that. Not everything can be a priority. For now I need to work on getting back to my maintenance range while maintaining a reasonable amount of mental health at work.)
October 13 - 168.8 (Had a good chat with my boss this morning. Feeling a bit more grounded. Dinner out and a concert with friends tonight.)4 -
I’m glad to have this inspiring group of people to share this journey with!
My October goals are the same as my September goals because those didn’t get met at all. September went sideways on me. I would like to get more movement in, especially on work days and more self care, 3 out of 7 days per week.

Yikes!
10/3: 205.8
I weighed myself 3 times. The body is a weird thing.
10/4: 205.3
Trying to catch up from all of last month’s drama. I could sleep for three days and still be tired!
10/5: 205.3
10/6: 205.1
So far this months goals have not been being met unless you count an hour nap on Sunday as self care. I guess it is because I needed for my “self.” I’m actually not sure how to meet these goals. They are harder to do than expected.
10/7: 204.0
10/8: 204.3
A manicure and shopping today after work.
10/9: 205.3
Salty takeout for dinner. It will come off. Self care yesterday, nails and shopping. Went to my usual plus sized store and am happy to report the last time I was there I was choosing between a 3x/4x (22-24) and yesterday I walked out of there with size 0 (Size 16) and likely will not need to shop there again (hopefully) ever. Definite NSV!

October
Initial Starting Weight: 225.2
October Starting Weight: 205.5
October Goal Weight: 200.6
Ultimate Goal Weight: 180.0
Me again, I weigh every day due to heart failure and fluid issues. I am finally making a daily weight check part of my morning routine (It had been doctors advice for a couple of years now but I just could not get in the routine of it)
For reference, I am 55f, 5'11" tall, and August 1st got back to a low carb menu in my house after losing a bunch and gaining it back 2 years ago.
OCTOBER GOALS (DAILY):
⚖️ Weigh in
👟 Walk 5,500+ steps (Starting September 15th- nice to add something to the daily goal)
1-205.5 Welcome October! Bought dance tickets for the 27th of October, so I will be looking for a costume for the first time in a couple of years, and I would like to meet my Oct goal by then.
2-204.8 👟 1.1 km
3-203.6 👟 1.5km
4-202.8 👟 1.0 km
5-203.0
6-204.2 I slipped a little yesterday, skipping that tiny treadmill 1km and being sloppy with my eating, and didn't log my food. It is probably good that there is a bit of a gain to snap me back in line, even if it is maybe just a natural fluctuation lol
7-203.2
8-204.4 Losing the same couple of pounds repeatedly takes some of the rah-rah sis boom bah out of the :....has lost 1.4 pounds since her last weigh in..." I am going to stick to it though.
9- 203.4 It is Thanksgiving Sunday here in Canada. I am up before 7am to get things started cooking. Have a great day everyone!
10-203.4
11-202.4 Not feeling great this morning. Maybe a bit of a cold coming on. -1C this morning outside
12-203.0
13-201.4 Unexpected. I will take it though lol
14-203.8 Also unexpected lol. By the way I feel it is quite possible that the entire 2.4 pound gain is sitting in my sinuses. Blaaaah I feel awful.3 -

Also I will be able to take my medications including the “bloat pill”. The scale was down 1 ½ lbs this morning after my pill. This still left me at a weight which is likely true and that I’m not happy with. Focusing.

Oct 9. 188 lbs. This is too drastic for me.
Oct 12. 186 lbs ⬇️⬇️My Wednesday check in. My weekly trend weight is 188.3 lbs so I did not achieve my week 2 goal. But I am down 2 lbs from the start of the month. Feeling pretty good. Attitude is positive.

I like how you did this daily. When I am really needing to be accountable, daily seems to help much more than every few days or a week. I am not quite in the habit yet and I need to be stricter with myself for about a month. Have a great day.
Thanks. It is sometimes a challenge to do so. Most of all being accountable to ourselves is most important. Enjoy the weekend.1 -

I have spent a good portion of this year in my maintenance range (160-165). However, after a big trip in September, I'm above it. Time to get back to under 165!
October Start Weight: 172.2
October Goal Weight: 165 or less
October 1 - 172.2 (I ended September in a big fury of work related stress. Happy October 1! Looking forward to setting a positive tone for this month.)
October 2 - 171.4 (Yesterday we biked over 40K in the mountains and today we are going to hike around 5K. The fall weather in Alberta is gorgeous right now.)
October 3 - 171.4 (Worked from home, walked my dog at lunch, rode the Peloton after work, and then ate salad for supper. Good day.)
October 4 - 172 (Started with an early morning call for work that got the adrenaline going. I'll walk at lunch and see how I feel after work to do more.)
October 5 - 172.8 (Had a good day yesterday. Lots of steps and a Peloton ride.)
October 6 - 171.8 (Flying to Toronto with my hubby and dog to visit some family for Canadian Thanksgiving.)
October 7 - 170.2
October 8 - 169.4
October 9 - 168.2
October 10 - 169.8 (On our flight home after a lovely visit with my MIL. We had a nice Thanksgiving meal last night. Missing her already.)
October 11 - 169.8 (Tough day, put myself to bed right after work, husband convinced me to get up for a light supper. Got 10,000 steps at least and ate under on calories.)
October 12 - 169.2 (Coming to terms with what I can do in limited time. Trying to find ways to make peace with that. Not everything can be a priority. For now I need to work on getting back to my maintenance range while maintaining a reasonable amount of mental health at work.)
October 13 - 168.8 (Had a good chat with my boss this morning. Feeling a bit more grounded. Dinner out and a concert with friends tonight.)
October 14 - 168.4 (Today was a whirlwind.. worked from home, went to an appointment, walked my dog, did some strength training, went for a beer, did grocery shopping, and cleaned. Tired!)
October 15 - 170.2 (Busy day with brunch, coffee, a walk, and supper out.)3 -
October
Initial Starting Weight: 225.2
October Starting Weight: 205.5
October Goal Weight: 200.6
Ultimate Goal Weight: 180.0
Me again, I weigh every day due to heart failure and fluid issues. I am finally making a daily weight check part of my morning routine (It had been doctors advice for a couple of years now but I just could not get in the routine of it)
For reference, I am 55f, 5'11" tall, and August 1st got back to a low carb menu in my house after losing a bunch and gaining it back 2 years ago.
OCTOBER GOALS (DAILY):
⚖️ Weigh in
👟 Walk 5,500+ steps (Starting September 15th- nice to add something to the daily goal)
1-205.5 Welcome October! Bought dance tickets for the 27th of October, so I will be looking for a costume for the first time in a couple of years, and I would like to meet my Oct goal by then.
2-204.8 👟 1.1 km
3-203.6 👟 1.5km
4-202.8 👟 1.0 km
5-203.0
6-204.2 I slipped a little yesterday, skipping that tiny treadmill 1km and being sloppy with my eating, and didn't log my food. It is probably good that there is a bit of a gain to snap me back in line, even if it is maybe just a natural fluctuation lol
7-203.2
8-204.4 Losing the same couple of pounds repeatedly takes some of the rah-rah sis boom bah out of the :....has lost 1.4 pounds since her last weigh in..." I am going to stick to it though.
9- 203.4 It is Thanksgiving Sunday here in Canada. I am up before 7am to get things started cooking. Have a great day everyone!
10-203.4
11-202.4 Not feeling great this morning. Maybe a bit of a cold coming on. -1C this morning outside
12-203.0
13-201.4 Unexpected. I will take it though lol
14-203.8 Also unexpected lol. By the way I feel it is quite possible that the entire 2.4 pound gain is sitting in my sinuses. Blaaaah I feel awful.
15-202.4
16-203.0 Dear body. You are toying with my emotions. To show me that 201 3 days ago then just bounce around is cruel and unusual punishment. Stop it. I am logging my food, I am sticking to the plan. Just show it on the scale for goodness sakes. Grr.3 -
@girlsaint I love your dedication! Sorry to hear your sinuses are bothering you!
Thanks! I have made this part of my morning routine, and pledged to myself to record the number on the scale. It has been a huge "thing" for me in the past to get discouraged and not post my weight if I was disappointed by it. I would wait until later, or after I took my meds, or after I had a BM etc. Then I would stop recording my weight at all. Then next appointment with the heart function clinic, they want to see my daily weights, and I just haven't done it, AND my weight is up 15 or 20 pounds from 3 months ago.
After last month when I joined this challenge, I kind of got into the routine of it, I am actually remembering to take my medication. I am remembering to weigh daily, I see the fluctuations throughout the month but the reports show a graph that overall has a downward trend. I can look at a gain, then look at my food diary and see if there is a reason for that gain other than the old ticker, and correct that. It kind of took the shame out of the number and just let me post what I saw.
I am thankful for this little corner of the internet so that I don't have to yammer on to my friends every single day about what my weight was at 7am lol. Y'all keep me doing something I was supposed to be doing anyway.

I’m glad to have this inspiring group of people to share this journey with!
My October goals are the same as my September goals because those didn’t get met at all. September went sideways on me. I would like to get more movement in, especially on work days and more self care, 3 out of 7 days per week.
OSW: 250 lbs
UGW: 150 ish
December 2022 GW: Onederland
CW: 207.4 lb
10/31 GW: 203 lb
10/1: 207.4
10/2: 209.4
Yikes!
10/3: 205.8
I weighed myself 3 times. The body is a weird thing.
10/4: 205.3
Trying to catch up from all of last month’s drama. I could sleep for three days and still be tired!
10/5: 205.3
10/6: 205.1
So far this months goals have not been being met unless you count an hour nap on Sunday as self care. I guess it is because I needed for my “self.” I’m actually not sure how to meet these goals. They are harder to do than expected.
10/7: 204.0
10/8: 204.3
A manicure and shopping today after work.
10/9: 205.3
Salty takeout for dinner. It will come off. Self care yesterday, nails and shopping. Went to my usual plus sized store and am happy to report the last time I was there I was choosing between a 3x/4x (22-24) and yesterday I walked out of there with size 0 (Size 16) and likely will not need to shop there again (hopefully) ever. Definite NSV!
10/10: 205.3
10/11: 204.0
10/12: 204.0
10/13: 204.0
10/14: 204.3
It’s finally Friday!
10/15: 204.0
Ticked some more health markers off the list for my path to wellness yesterday, mammogram✅recheck bloodwork ✅. I’m left with an eye appointment and a spine appointment for the year. The rest of yesterday was spent doing self care aka shopping and laying on the couch. I’ll take it!
10/16: 205.3
Ugh! Not happy to see this but I know it’s just a bump in the road.4 -
@girlsaint Thats all so great! And such a small step to taking better care of yourself. I definitely think if a person is going to weigh daily, they should use a weight trending app, to see the big picture. Keep it up! I’m rooting for you!3

My name is Mary. Hopeful this month. April 1st I was 180lbs and now I have creeped up to 188lbs. My thoughts are I haven't been diligent in my calorie intake. So this month my focus is keeping my calories in a zone to lose 1lb a week.
Starting weight 188 lbs
Goal weight 184 lbs
Wednesday weekly trend weight 187, 186, 185 & 184 lbs.
Oct 1. 188lbs
Oct 5. 185lbs Wednesday my old regular weigh in. So lost some pounds and now to keep them off. My trend weight this past week was 185.7lbs. So by watching my calories this week my aim will be 184.7 lbs. I trying to set more realistic goals for myself.
Oct 8. 193 lbs Again with the huge weight gain in a short period of time. This sucks.😫
Oct 9. 188 lbs. This is too drastic for me.
Oct 12. 186 lbs ⬇️⬇️My Wednesday check in. My weekly trend weight is 188.3 lbs so I did not achieve my week 2 goal. But I am down 2 lbs from the start of the month. Feeling pretty good. Attitude is positive.
Oct 13. 186lbs

I called my old handyman from the motel days that moved downstate. He is many hours away but will probably be coming back and forth for the next few weekends to hunt in my rural area. I hit him up to do as much of the work in the kitchen as he can fit in around the two hunts each day. I think he is going to try to help so I’ve got to make sure I have everything here he needs.

My recheck bloodwork came back with a normal A1C but still elevated cholesterol. I’ve also got my blood pressure back to normal. I still have about 60 pounds to lose but my doctor and I talked extensively about my diet and she doesn’t think that’s what’s causing the cholesterol issue. It is likely genetic and something I can’t get away from. I really did not want to have to take a pill though. Ugh.4 -

Hi there!
My name is Ashley, I'm 35 years old, and in early 2021 I weighed 293 pounds.
I have spent a good portion of this year in my maintenance range (160-165). However, after a big trip in September, I'm above it. Time to get back to under 165!
October Start Weight: 172.2
