    Oct 22: 171.2 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ“ Started feeling crappy in the afternoon, got progressively worse - took a covid test - postive. โ˜น๏ธ Might be out of commission for a few days.
    Please go easy on yourself and give your body what it needs to recover. I hope you're over this as soon as possible.

    Hi, I'm a 50 yo married female, 5'6", and tired of looking and feeling like I do. Iโ€™m making changes to get out of the Obese category, to look good in my clothing, and to have confidence in public again.

    Heaviest Weight: 221 | Ultimate Goal Weight: 165
    Starting Weight Aug 2023: 212.7 | Sep 2023: 207.1 |

    October Goals:
    Lose 2 lbs. | Consistently log food | Bike &/or Treadmill 4 days a week | Aim for 7 hours sleep/day

    Oct 1: 205.5
    Oct 2: 206.4 - A bit more sodium yesterday, and a piece of Naan. It was good, I'm just paying for it.
    Oct 3: 205.4 - Going to try a different workout, and focus on me today.
    Oct 4: 204.9
    Oct 5: 204.6
    Oct 6: 205.4 - Sodium up last night, but this will go down again. Feeling good overall.
    Oct 7: 204.9
    Oct 8: 204.0 - I expected 2 lbs up this morning, so that might hit tomorrow. We splurged a bit yesterday.
    Oct 9: 205.4 - Yup.
    Oct 10: 206.1 - Ugh. I have been off my exercise game lately. Definitely time to get moving.
    Oct 11: 205.4
    Oct 12: 205.1 - I am prioritizing the workouts this week. I want this number to go down.
    Oct 13: 205.6
    Oct 14: 207.1 - I even waited a couple more hours before coffee/meds to weigh myself, hoping sleep would trim this down. But no. Salty yummy food, I love you, and I hate you.
    Oct 15: 207.8 - This morning I definitely about threw the scale. Some of this is week-before-cycle bloat (clothes are tight when they were great 2 days ago). Some I assume is still sodium related. The rest is that I dared stray from eating salad and chicken and the 10 foods I eat all the time. Tomorrow I will 100% be back on plan. Today I'm giving myself a damn break. I'm grumpy. I'm tired.
    Oct 16: 208.9 - This has to be water retention. I even worked out yesterday.
    Oct 17: 208.7
    Oct 18: 207.5
    Oct 19: 205.7 - No cycle, but at least the water retention is less. This round really damaged my mindset too. I felt afraid to post my weight, felt fake for posting because it just looks like I'm off plan when I wasn't. Just glad the number is better.
    Oct 20: 205.8 - couldn't shave that .1 no matter how many times I stepped on the scale. :D
    Oct 21: 205.8
    Oct 22: 205.5
    Oct 23: 206.8 Grr.

    Starting weight September 1: 141

    Goal weight for October: 132.8

    October 1: 136.2
    October 2: 137.0 I logged ๐Ÿ‘ Wow, my weight can really spike up quickly. On Sept 30 I was 134.8. Now 2.2 lbs higher. But this is not a surprise. On Sept 30 my mom took me out to lunch; and the mac & cheese was sooooo bad. I just had to go home and make mac & cheese to go with dinner, the proper way, with all the butter and flour and cream cheese and buttery bread crumb topping. And I ate too much of that mac & cheese. And then yesterday we had a long party with friends, and there was a ton of great food & wine. So I overdid it there. So, now back to the plan. My goal is to get back at daily logging & daily meeting my calorie goal, AND to drink lots of water. Cycle day 1 should be right about now too, so the weight could stay here or go up again. Just going to get back to the plan and try to stick with it from here!
    October 3: 137.0 I logged ๐Ÿ‘
    October 4: 136.8 I logged ๐Ÿ‘
    October 5: 135.2
    October 6: DNW
    October 7: 135.2 Had crazy crazy days both Thursday and Friday...
    October 8: 134.8
    October 9: 135.0 I've been super slack with logging. But I am signed up for my very first 5K tomorrow, so that's exciting. This will be a run/walk for me. For about a month I've been working on it and now I can run up to about 3-4 minutes intermittently with about 1-2 minutes walking, for about 25 minutes. I never believed I could run for 3 minutes straight, so this is a huge improvement. Hopefully I won't wake up sick or something (there is sickness going through the house.)
    October 10: 134.4 I logged ๐Ÿ‘
    October 11: 134.6 I logged ๐Ÿ‘
    October 12: 135.2 Awwww, I'm kinda disappointed.
    October 13: 136.0 -Sigh.-
    October 14: 135.8 Looks like today or tomorrow will by Cycle day 1... that seems to explain some things with my hunger and eating the last couple days and, uh, some moodiness, LOL! Perimenopause is interesting... I never know what's going on.
    October 15: 137.0
    October 16: 136.4
    October 17: 136.4
    October 18: 135.6 I logged ๐Ÿ‘. Could be worse, considering I haven't been logging and I keep eating too much. I keep getting hungry and eating over my calorie goal, and then I just throw in the towel. My goal for the rest of the month is to stop with that perfectionism and to keep logging even if I'm going to be way over on calories. Also, more protein in the early afternoon might help with my afternoon cravings.
    October 19: 134.6 I logged ๐Ÿ‘
    October 20: 135.0 I logged ๐Ÿ‘
    October 21: 134.8 I logged ๐Ÿ‘

    1: ๐Ÿฅ™๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿงถforgot to check in yesterday but the month is off to a good start ๐Ÿงก
    2: ๐Ÿฅ™๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ง feeling great and taking the time to focus on how good I feel when I take better care of my body.
    3: ๐Ÿฅ™๐Ÿ’ง

    5: ๐Ÿฅ™๐Ÿ’ง long day at work, but instead of vegging on the couch with a snack I did my skin care routine and called out an early night. Tomorrow is a new day.

    7: ๐Ÿฅ™๐Ÿงถ
    8: ๐Ÿฅ™๐Ÿงถ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’งI hit all of my goals today โค๏ธ A great weekend with the family
    9: ๐Ÿฅ™๐Ÿงถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ hit all my goals today, even if my walk was interrupted by a sudden rainshower. Looking forward to fall activities and don't mind the rain as the trade off ๐ŸŽƒ
    10: ๐Ÿฅ™๐Ÿ’ง late night of fall baseball and then target runs to prep my teen for homecoming. Definitely went too long without eating and then ate an oceans worth of fishsticks. Heading to bed and starting over tomorrow
    11:๐Ÿฅ™๐Ÿงถ๐Ÿ’ง
    12:๐Ÿฅ™๐Ÿงถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ I will never not be humbled by a zumba class. I went to my second one today and man it was so fun, but I accidently looked in the mirror and I looked like an electrocuted jellyfish every time I waved my arms...
    13:๐Ÿฅ™๐Ÿงถ went over my calories and missed some goals, but the day was good despite it and I'm excited for a whole weekend free โค๏ธ

    15: ๐Ÿฅ™๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿงถ
    16: ๐Ÿฅ™๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿงถ I'm celebrating 30 days of consistent tracking. I'm trying to focus on what things feel sustainable, and what can make my weightloss a long term change. I love the classes at the gym, and how much easier my mornings are when I meal prep. I like that I don't feel stuffed when I'm done eating and that I can tell the difference when I've drunk enough water. I'm looking forward to what I notice at day 60 ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰

    21: ๐Ÿฅ™๐Ÿงถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ
    22: ๐Ÿฅ™๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ Today was the first big event I've gone to since I started calorie counting. I was worried because these often come with hours of snacking and then a big dinner and lots of desserts. Today had that, but I was able to pick what I wanted without feeling the urge to constantly go back for more. It felt like a personal victory to walk away feeling comfortable and not over stuffed.

    I just got back from Switzerland. My husband and I were there visiting our son for five days. I am feeling re-energized to tackle my health. We didn't see any obese people there. We did see many people jogging and riding their bikes and walking, of course. Going to jump back in so that I can hit the ground running for the November challenge.

    23: 207
    24: DNW, got into the Swiss chocolate

    Hope you start to feel better soon, @ddainiak

Either give me back my regular cycle or shut this down, please. I'm glad there isn't any chocolate/candy in this house (well, the unopened bag of harvest corn is still there), or this number would be much worse.

    Just a friendly reminder to you all because I care about you. Please donโ€™t forget to schedule your mammograms and do your self-checks.

    My name is Donna. I am 5โ€™ 5โ€ tall, 63 years old and from the Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250โ€™s; 240โ€™s; 230โ€™s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180โ€™s; 170's; 160's; 150โ€™s

    Starting Weight (from Sept 30th): 188.2
    Goal: 184.2 (Four lb Loss)
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

    **************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************


    Weight in blue makes me blue because itโ€™s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because itโ€™s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

    10/23-184.4-(Trend Weight 186.1)- Travel today about 125 miles each way to get to the nearest Mall. Shopping for daughterโ€™s upcoming birthday. Sheโ€™s petite length and needs pants, hopefully I can find them. Feel good about the scale today. Itโ€™s a nice buffer for the meals weโ€™ll have in the city. Tomorrow will be damage control Iโ€™m sure. Iโ€™ll try to keep a level head, keep my wits about me when I choose my foods today but no promises. My son chooses the restaurants.

    10/24-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- I had a nice day yesterday traveling and shopping with my son. I ate breakfast food for lunch (restaurant) in order to keep the carbs down. However, my son chose Golden Corral for dinner so thereโ€™s thatโ€ฆโ€ฆ.We didnโ€™t get home until maybe around 8:30 pm so I was able to skip any further food except a handful of pecan halves very late last night to keep me satisfied. Lots of walking yesterday through the malls and stores. Today I am blah. Itโ€™s rainy and cool and gray. I donโ€™t even think Iโ€™ll get dressed today but I will try to fit in some exercise laterโ€ฆ..maybeโ€ฆ. I just need a minute.

    @haswlrs So glad to see you back. ๐Ÿ˜

    @Rinoga Hope you had a wonderful time - I don't think I'll make mine this month either - but we still have time to make a little progress; we can do it!

    @fourathomej Sorry you are feeling that way - we all have those times. I find that when I'm in between rounds of Hogwarts I also get that way - I need someone to tell me I have to do something or I put it off. Are you doing the Holiday round?

    @stirredintention Congrats on the NSV and being in self control at the event. Wow!

    @jm216 How are those puppies doing! We need updated pictures. I bet the little one is not so little anymore!

    Starting weight September 1: 141

    Goal weight for October: 132.8

    October 1: 136.2
    October 2: 137.0 I logged ๐Ÿ‘ Wow, my weight can really spike up quickly. On Sept 30 I was 134.8. Now 2.2 lbs higher. But this is not a surprise. On Sept 30 my mom took me out to lunch; and the mac & cheese was sooooo bad. I just had to go home and make mac & cheese to go with dinner, the proper way, with all the butter and flour and cream cheese and buttery bread crumb topping. And I ate too much of that mac & cheese. And then yesterday we had a long party with friends, and there was a ton of great food & wine. So I overdid it there. So, now back to the plan. My goal is to get back at daily logging & daily meeting my calorie goal, AND to drink lots of water. Cycle day 1 should be right about now too, so the weight could stay here or go up again. Just going to get back to the plan and try to stick with it from here!
    October 3: 137.0 I logged ๐Ÿ‘
    October 4: 136.8 I logged ๐Ÿ‘
    October 5: 135.2
    October 6: DNW
    October 7: 135.2 Had crazy crazy days both Thursday and Friday...
    October 8: 134.8
    October 9: 135.0 I've been super slack with logging. But I am signed up for my very first 5K tomorrow, so that's exciting. This will be a run/walk for me. For about a month I've been working on it and now I can run up to about 3-4 minutes intermittently with about 1-2 minutes walking, for about 25 minutes. I never believed I could run for 3 minutes straight, so this is a huge improvement. Hopefully I won't wake up sick or something (there is sickness going through the house.)
    October 10: 134.4 I logged ๐Ÿ‘
    October 11: 134.6 I logged ๐Ÿ‘
    October 12: 135.2 Awwww, I'm kinda disappointed.
    October 13: 136.0 -Sigh.-
    October 14: 135.8 Looks like today or tomorrow will by Cycle day 1... that seems to explain some things with my hunger and eating the last couple days and, uh, some moodiness, LOL! Perimenopause is interesting... I never know what's going on.
    October 15: 137.0
    October 16: 136.4
    October 17: 136.4
    October 18: 135.6 I logged ๐Ÿ‘. Could be worse, considering I haven't been logging and I keep eating too much. I keep getting hungry and eating over my calorie goal, and then I just throw in the towel. My goal for the rest of the month is to stop with that perfectionism and to keep logging even if I'm going to be way over on calories. Also, more protein in the early afternoon might help with my afternoon cravings.
    October 19: 134.6 I logged ๐Ÿ‘

    10/24-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- I had a nice day yesterday traveling and shopping with my son. I ate breakfast food for lunch (restaurant) in order to keep the carbs down. However, my son chose Golden Corral for dinner so thereโ€™s thatโ€ฆโ€ฆ.We didnโ€™t get home until maybe around 8:30 pm so I was able to skip any further food except a handful of pecan halves very late last night to keep me satisfied. Lots of walking yesterday through the malls and stores. Today I am blah. Itโ€™s rainy and cool and gray. I donโ€™t even think Iโ€™ll get dressed today but I will try to fit in some exercise laterโ€ฆ..maybeโ€ฆ. I just need a minute.

    10/25-186.8-(Trend Weight 186.2)- Well, there it is. That pesky travel weight. TMI sure would have helped, but nothing. Iโ€™ve been fitting in some minor exercise the past couple of days, but have mostly been inactive in-between. Thatโ€™s not helping. Diet was on point yesterday so thereโ€™s that.

    Hello I'm Darlene and have been with this group for a few months now; my favorite support group on MFP. Retired, 63-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty).

    My goals for October๐Ÿ‚ :
    Lose 4 pounds (always my goal) - BUT I am only 6 pounds away from getting out of the obese category - so setting a stretch goal to get there by the end of the month. Usually if I announce something I do it so . . . .. fingers crossed. โš–๏ธ
    Hit my orignal 1,960 mile goal. I am on a mission to get 2,023 miles in 2023, when I first started my goal was 1,960 - a good year. When I realized that I would achieve this early changed it to 2,023. ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ
    17K Steps daily ๐Ÿ‘ฃ
    Drink 6-8 Glasses of Water Daily ๐Ÿ’ฆ
    Strength Train 3 days a week ๐Ÿ’ช
    Tai Chi or Some Stretching exercise 1 day a week ๐Ÿง˜
    Log daily ๐Ÿ“
    Stay under my calorie range ๐Ÿฅ—
    Read daily ๐Ÿ“–
    Do something creative or fun daily ๐Ÿงถ ๐Ÿ–๏ธ ๐ŸŽฎ

    Weight Loss to Date: 53.8 Pounds
    September Ending Weight: 174.2

    ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‚Happy October!๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‚

    Oct 1: ๐Ÿ˜ 173.8 A good start ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ“ ๐Ÿฅ— ๐ŸŽฎ
    Oct 2: ๐Ÿ˜ 173.4 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ“๐Ÿฅ— ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ–๏ธ ๐ŸŽฎ
    Oct 3: 173.4 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿฅ— ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ–๏ธ ๐ŸŽฎ The Hogwarts challenge that I am in has an assignment this week to run/jog for 20 minutes. It doesn't have to be in one session. Years ago, I did the Couch to 5K and jogged a 5k on my 50th birthday (a time when I was almost at my goal weight). I thought about doing that again, but when I tried earlier this year my knees couldn't take it. I thought I would try again when I lost 60 pounds - I'm not quite at 60, but close - I guess this was a sign that I should try again. Yesterday I did day one, and it was fun. Keeping my fingers crossed because I really did love it.

    Oct 8: 172.6 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿฅ— ๐ŸŽฎ Happy with that - went out for a nice lunch, had a couple beers - it might be a day lag for the uptick - but happy that it stayed the same today.
    Oct 9: ๐Ÿ˜ 172 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿฅ— ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿงถ ๐Ÿ–๏ธ๐ŸŽฎ Not a very good night sleep - couldn't fall asleep so go back up - read, knitted, played games on my phone - finally went to bed at 3:00AM, and back up 6:00AM. It's bingo night with Mom tonight so up later than usual - thinking I'll need to take a nap today - we'll see how that plays out on the scale tomorrow.
    Oct 10: 172 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ“– ๐ŸŽฎ First day in forever I missed my calorie goal. Just a couple 100 over, but over just the same. It is my sister's birthday today - so had cake last night at bingo which put me over the top.
    Oct 11: ๐Ÿ˜  173.2 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ“๐Ÿฅ— ๐Ÿงถ ๐Ÿ–๏ธ๐ŸŽฎ I guess Monday's overage, lack of sleep, and the fact that I was over on my sodium goal yesterday got me.
    Oct 12: 172.8 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿง˜ ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿฅ— ๐ŸŽฎ
    Oct 13: 172.8 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿฅ— ๐Ÿ–๏ธ
    Oct 14: ๐Ÿ˜171.6 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿง˜ ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿฅ— ๐Ÿ–๏ธWell that was a nice surprise. It will probably be short lived. Going out to dinner tonight with the whole family. My sister was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the spring. She has finished her treatment and after surgery and three rounds of chemo - they think they got it all. Going out to celebrate. Going to Japenese Hibachi - am going to figure out this morning how to count it so that I can determine what I can eat for breakfast and lunch. Hoping to still stay under the calorie goal - but am sure the sodium will be over the top.
    Oct 15: 173.4 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ“– Won't give myself a sad face - fully expected, but was a great night celebrating. Here is a picture of the family - Unfortunately missing Allyson, we were supposed to go last wekend but my nephew and hubby were still covid positive, so couldn't go. She had a wedding this weekend, so we missed her.
    Oct 16: 173.6 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ“๐Ÿฅ— ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿงถ ๐Ÿ–๏ธ๐ŸŽฎ Ok, now I need to get motivated - been over my sodium goal three days in a row AND two days in a row not drinking the water - gets me every time.
    Oct 17: 172.4 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿฅ— ๐Ÿงถ ๐Ÿ–๏ธ๐ŸŽฎ
    Oct 18: 172.6 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿฅ— ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿงถ ๐Ÿ–๏ธ๐ŸŽฎ
    Oct 19: 172.6 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿฅ— ๐Ÿ“– ๐ŸŽฎ

    Oct 22: 171.2 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ“ Started feeling crappy in the afternoon, got progressively worse - took a covid test - postive. โ˜น๏ธ Might be out of commission for a few days.
    Oct 23: 171
    Oct 24: 173.4 Sat on the couch all day again yesterday. Feeling crummy - ate all the wrong things. It's just temporary.
    Oct 25: 172.2 ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿฅ—๐Ÿงถ ๐Ÿ–๏ธ๐ŸŽฎ Feeling a little better - got a small walk in yesterday. Thank you all for your kind well wishes.

    Starting weight September 1: 141

    Goal weight for October: 132.8

    October 1: 136.2
    October 2: 137.0 I logged ๐Ÿ‘ Wow, my weight can really spike up quickly. On Sept 30 I was 134.8. Now 2.2 lbs higher. But this is not a surprise. On Sept 30 my mom took me out to lunch; and the mac & cheese was sooooo bad. I just had to go home and make mac & cheese to go with dinner, the proper way, with all the butter and flour and cream cheese and buttery bread crumb topping. And I ate too much of that mac & cheese. And then yesterday we had a long party with friends, and there was a ton of great food & wine. So I overdid it there. So, now back to the plan. My goal is to get back at daily logging & daily meeting my calorie goal, AND to drink lots of water. Cycle day 1 should be right about now too, so the weight could stay here or go up again. Just going to get back to the plan and try to stick with it from here!
    October 3: 137.0 I logged ๐Ÿ‘
    October 4: 136.8 I logged ๐Ÿ‘
    October 5: 135.2
    October 6: DNW
    October 7: 135.2 Had crazy crazy days both Thursday and Friday...
    October 8: 134.8
    October 9: 135.0 I've been super slack with logging. But I am signed up for my very first 5K tomorrow, so that's exciting. This will be a run/walk for me. For about a month I've been working on it and now I can run up to about 3-4 minutes intermittently with about 1-2 minutes walking, for about 25 minutes. I never believed I could run for 3 minutes straight, so this is a huge improvement. Hopefully I won't wake up sick or something (there is sickness going through the house.)
    October 10: 134.4 I logged ๐Ÿ‘
    October 11: 134.6 I logged ๐Ÿ‘
    October 12: 135.2 Awwww, I'm kinda disappointed.
    October 13: 136.0 -Sigh.-
    October 14: 135.8 Looks like today or tomorrow will by Cycle day 1... that seems to explain some things with my hunger and eating the last couple days and, uh, some moodiness, LOL! Perimenopause is interesting... I never know what's going on.
    October 15: 137.0
    October 16: 136.4
    October 17: 136.4
    October 18: 135.6 I logged ๐Ÿ‘. Could be worse, considering I haven't been logging and I keep eating too much. I keep getting hungry and eating over my calorie goal, and then I just throw in the towel. My goal for the rest of the month is to stop with that perfectionism and to keep logging even if I'm going to be way over on calories. Also, more protein in the early afternoon might help with my afternoon cravings.
    October 19: 134.6 I logged ๐Ÿ‘
    October 20: 135.0 I logged ๐Ÿ‘
    October 21: 134.8 I logged ๐Ÿ‘
    October 22: 134.0
    October 23: 135.8 I logged ๐Ÿ‘
    October 24: 134.4 I logged ๐Ÿ‘
    October 25: 134.2 I logged ๐Ÿ‘
    October 26: 134.2 Today and Sunday will be my challenges for the end of the month. MIL is serving us one of her big delicious dinners today, and Sunday we have a potluck plus a party. My goal for today is to enjoy MIL's dinner without going over my calorie goal, just logging with educated guesses from the database.

    Hi, I'm a 50 yo married female, 5'6", and tired of looking and feeling like I do. Iโ€™m making changes to get out of the Obese category, to look good in my clothing, and to have confidence in public again.

    Heaviest Weight: 221 | Ultimate Goal Weight: 165
    Starting Weight Aug 2023: 212.7 | Sep 2023: 207.1 |

    October Goals:
    Lose 2 lbs. | Consistently log food | Bike &/or Treadmill 4 days a week | Aim for 7 hours sleep/day

    Oct 1: 205.5
    Oct 2: 206.4 - A bit more sodium yesterday, and a piece of Naan. It was good, I'm just paying for it.
    Oct 3: 205.4 - Going to try a different workout, and focus on me today.
    Oct 4: 204.9
    Oct 5: 204.6
    Oct 6: 205.4 - Sodium up last night, but this will go down again. Feeling good overall.
    Oct 7: 204.9
    Oct 8: 204.0 - I expected 2 lbs up this morning, so that might hit tomorrow. We splurged a bit yesterday.
    Oct 9: 205.4 - Yup.
    Oct 10: 206.1 - Ugh. I have been off my exercise game lately. Definitely time to get moving.
    Oct 11: 205.4
    Oct 12: 205.1 - I am prioritizing the workouts this week. I want this number to go down.
    Oct 13: 205.6
    Oct 14: 207.1 - I even waited a couple more hours before coffee/meds to weigh myself, hoping sleep would trim this down. But no. Salty yummy food, I love you, and I hate you.
    Oct 15: 207.8 - This morning I definitely about threw the scale. Some of this is week-before-cycle bloat (clothes are tight when they were great 2 days ago). Some I assume is still sodium related. The rest is that I dared stray from eating salad and chicken and the 10 foods I eat all the time. Tomorrow I will 100% be back on plan. Today I'm giving myself a damn break. I'm grumpy. I'm tired.
    Oct 16: 208.9 - This has to be water retention. I even worked out yesterday.
    Oct 17: 208.7
    Oct 18: 207.5
    Oct 19: 205.7 - No cycle, but at least the water retention is less. This round really damaged my mindset too. I felt afraid to post my weight, felt fake for posting because it just looks like I'm off plan when I wasn't. Just glad the number is better.
    Oct 20: 205.8 - couldn't shave that .1 no matter how many times I stepped on the scale. :D
    Oct 21: 205.8
    Oct 22: 205.5
    Oct 23: 206.8 Grr.
    Oct 24: 207.5 -- Some monthly/TMI stuff at work here. I b*tched all my adult years about a clockwork monthly cycle, but this menopause shtuff is for the birds. Either give me back my regular cycle or shut this down, please. I'm glad there isn't any chocolate/candy in this house (well, the unopened bag of harvest corn is still there), or this number would be much worse.

    16: ๐Ÿฅ™๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿงถ I'm celebrating 30 days of consistent tracking. I'm trying to focus on what things feel sustainable, and what can make my weightloss a long term change. I love the classes at the gym, and how much easier my mornings are when I meal prep. I like that I don't feel stuffed when I'm done eating and that I can tell the difference when I've drunk enough water. I'm looking forward to what I notice at day 60 ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰

    22: ๐Ÿฅ™๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ Today was the first big event I've gone to since I started calorie counting. I was worried because these often come with hours of snacking and then a big dinner and lots of desserts. Today had that, but I was able to pick what I wanted without feeling the urge to constantly go back for more. It felt like a personal victory to walk away feeling comfortable and not over stuffed.

    24: ๐Ÿฅ™๐Ÿงถ Last month I wore a favorite belt that was so snug I had to take it off half way through the day and stash it in my purse. Today I wore it and it was not only comfy but a little loose!
