    I unpacked my scale to weigh-in before heading on our trip!! I won't take it with me so, I won't weigh myself till I get back, so keeping me on support is good. Also, Lis, I still want to compete in the 11 lbs. by 12/21. I just won't weigh back in till the middle of next month. I hope this doesn't cause any issues.

    I'm confident the last uptick was water and travel weight.

    If you will be weighing in mid November I can excuse you instead of moving you to support.

    Linda, that would be great!! Thank you.

    At least I'm slowly moving in the right direction!

    All those little losses soon add up. Half a pound a week is 26lb a year!!

    Good evening all. Have a wonderful Halloween.
    Check in:
    Steps - 13735
    Calories - 2680. Ugh.
    Exercise - a lot. Lol. Gym early morning. 9 machines and 19 minutes walking outside. Pickleball after that for 2 hours. Walked home from that and took 38 minutes.

    Ok, I'm confused!

    I walked more this past week and I ate less and yet I still gained a little weight 🤔

    Make sure you're counting your calories accurately. If you are then don't worry,
    sometimes it takes a while for the scales to catch up! Keep going and you'll see the reward eventually!

    1 pound lost.
    I seem to be maintaining between 162 and 164 for weeks now. I think im ok as i am, dont really need to loose anymore, can you switch me to the maintenance group for November please. Thanks for all your support 😊

    Congrats on reaching goal! I will get you moved over for November. You still remain on the Downsizers team and will weigh in weekly. I need a maintenance range you want to stay in. I will put it as 162 to 164 for now until you let me know. If you are out of your range for two weeks in a row, you move back to the main team until you are back in range.

    I agree with @fatfifties. If you are not using a food scales I recommend you do.

    October badge: ✔️

    I am giving myself a check for exercise as I did some strength training and then I cleaned up my plants on the balcony. It’s something I have been putting off. Just have to get rid of the pots I don’t want for next year. Time to go grocery shopping.

    HI, I live in Spain :) travel in my rv about 9 months of the year. Currently in Portugal.
    It's my happy place, and the easiest place to stick to my diet! I don't buy or keep any of my danger foods in the motorhome!
    In January 22 i read a free book called never binge again by Glenn Livingston and it really helped me with the binging!
    I had a weak moment earlier in the week, met up with some friends and ended up on a mega binge! All back under control again now, just have to shift the 4lb I gained!! Thanks for your advice and support x

    Wow, I didn't expect you to say Spain! That is awesome. I visited Madrid and Barcelona and was so surprised by the many terrains that Spain had to offer. My daughter was with me or else I would have explored some of the other areas, (she likes the big cities) I hope to return someday. Thank you for the book referral - I'll give it a try. Have a good day!

    I wish it was back in the 140s again but I'll get there. I haven't been doing well on steps - need to work on that for next week.

    I'm eating breakfast now - just tea and cereal. Headed to the gym then a massage at noon! Gotta do my early voting today too. Then going down to Albuquerque this afternoon and will have dinner at our favorite Vietnamese restaurant.

    Have a good Saturday everyone!

    @IP2021 I seemed to always gain a pound or two after strong hikes, bike rides, etc and learned it was because I wasn't drinking enough water so my body was holding on to water. As I increased my water intake this retention went away.

    Going for 3 months in a row as the "Most Weight Lost". It's silly, but it really motivates me. Gives me something to shoot for.

    Absolutely! Will you be weighing in tomorrow or I can just carry over this weight and you weigh in again a week from Monday.
