    I'm in. I'm late so I have to lose 74.0 grams a day. That's on the high side for me, let's see if it's possible. Today I weighed 87.7 kg. If I achieve the shortened equivalent (75 instead of 92 days) of 15 pounds I'll post the Austin Powers 'Yeah Baby' image to celebrate.

    SW: 234.7
    CW: 233.0
    GW: 219.9

    Nov. 3--234.7
    Nov. 10--232.5 (-2.2)
    Nov. 17--233.0 (-1.7)

    Even though I went up a little from last week, I had a great week. I went out to lunch twice over the weekend and even though I ate at maintenance, I was still up almost 2lbs due to water retention and the extra food.

    The great thing is that (1) for the past week I have tracked all my food and (2) I was able to get back to my regular eating as soon as the weekend was over. As I am working on building new habits and working on consistency, this week has been great, and I expect the rest of the weight to be gone by this weekend.

    Hi all! I would love to join this challenge. I have 15 - 20 pounds of weight to lose since having a baby nine months ago. Prior to the pregnancy, I used MFP for years to help me maintain a 50 pound weight loss. I had a major backslide in my eating during the pregnancy: I got used to eating whatever I wanted, and I stopped paying attention to quantity. Now I'm hoping to get back to a healthier lifestyle.
    Height: 5'1"
    Goal: 120
    Nov. 18th: 138.6

    CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 15 pounds to land at 182.8
    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM Oct 31): 197.8
    CHALLENGE ENDING WEIGHT:



    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


    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.



    11/01-199.8-(Trend Weight: 200.2)- Was it the travel weight, the Halloween candy, or the 3 hours of sleep last night? Moving forward, but remembering in the Book of Psalms that it says in part “My life is continually in my hands……”


    11/07-198.8-(Trend Weight: 199.9)- I lost one full pound during Halloween week. I count that as a win.


    11/14-197.6-(Trend Weight: 199.1)- The scale hasn’t tipped this low since September so I feel like this is an opportunity. Travel tomorrow and Thursday. I’ve got to hang on to my progress!


    11/21-198.6-(Trend Weight: 198.7)- One month ago on 10/21 I weighed 201.8 with a trend weight of 200.4. I needed to look back because I was feeling defeated today even though the trend weight went down. I can see that I am making progress even though it is slow. I need to lose more than 2 pounds in a month but at least it is in the right direction! Thanksgiving week. That is a challenge for us all who celebrate this week.
