    @deepwoodslady I understand the struggle of wanting/craving sweets...it's horrible. My husband bought double salted black licorice when he was sick...it's a Dutch thing. Lol. While it has medicinal components, it kills my sweet tooth.

    Me too. I'm already preparing for Halloween, I'm making some treats for myself that I'm allowed to have (low carb, artificial sugar) so that if I get any temptations I'll at least stay in my lane.

    STARTING WEIGHT AND DATE WITH MFP(MY FITNESS PAL): Nov 17, 2016 200 lbs
    YOUR CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT FOR THIS CHALLENGE: 189.5 lbs
    YOUR CHALLENGE WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: 180 lbs

    October 4: 195 lb I am really demoralized that I can gain 6 lbs overnight. My calorie intake was in line and not over. This just sucks. And it happens when I weigh in on Wednesday.

    @Bemybestby60 : I was curious about why this would happen, as I would sometimes have a similar experience myself. I googled and found this:

    • last meal eaten later than usual
    • you had more sodium and carbs the day before (my guess was water weight)
    • you upped your fiber intake
    • constipated
    • hard strength training session
    … as well as a few others. I wouldn’t get discouraged if it seems like a fluke thing. Maybe your scale isn’t calibrated? Could be a number of things. Give it a google and see if anything sounds familiar. Regardless, stay focused on your good habits. You got this!

    Wow thank you for taking the time to look at causes. I think it is sodium in processed foods. I had canned soup and crackers that night. Not sure. Scale is good. Geez thanks again. Your input really made a difference.

    Vacation, birthday cake (and wine) and Thanksgiving were not my friends this last couple of weeks, however I am quite surprised and happy to find a small loss. Not sure if it is just some water loss but I will take it. Thanks for the motivation and accountability everyone.

    My name is Donna. I am 63 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall.


    CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 12 pounds to land at 176.2
    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM Sept 30th): 188.2
    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


    Just a friendly reminder to you all because I care about you. Please don’t forget to schedule your mammograms and do your self-checks.

    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


    10/01-187.2-(Trend Weight: 189.2)-

    10/02-187.0-(Trend Weight: 189.0)-

    10/09-184.8-(Trend Weight: 187.6)- I am very pleased with my loss this week. It is not often that I can lose 2 lbs in one week and keep it off. So that is my goal this week, keeping it off. I am very near my monthly October goal. I know the Halloween Candy is going to start flowing in abundance everywhere I go. Gotta stay strong. I may stop by the dollar store today and pick up some sugar-free Werthers candies that I can suck on in a candy dish emergency.

    10/16-184.6-(Trend Weight: 186.4)- A successful day yesterday which showed up on the scale this morning. TMI good, shed lots of water and bloat and raked yard for 3+ hours burning lots of extra calories. Diet was on point. I am planning another good day with more raking and yard work to complete the fall cleanup hopefully. This should continue to work the scale back down.

    This is the last resort for me losing weight as I've been down before and up so many times, I just need to get down and stay there. Stopped smoking 6months ago and gained 2 and half stone.
