🎃🐈⬛October Daily Weigh-in and Logging Challenge🎃🌻

@deepwoodslady We went to Sam's club for our monthly bulk buy and got the Halloween candy - 455 pieces (we live in a great trick-or-treating neighborhood). Every day I look at it - but so far haven't opened the bag. It's the minature tootsie rolls for me.
@ManifestingToday I had to look up what harvest corn was, we call it candy corn in Connecticut. Where are you from?
@ddainiak and @ManifestingToday In Michigan we also call it candy corn. When Manifesting mentioned harvest corn, I though she meant the ones with the chocolate brown on the ends? Anyway, whatever it is called, we all know it's pure sugar, delicious and off-limits this year lol.1 -
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.
My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” 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!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’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 it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

10/09-184.8-(Trend Weight 187.6)-
10/10-183.2-(Trend Weight 187.1)- I ramped up my exercise this past week and began eating later in the day so that my dinner ends up pretty late and there is no need for those night time snacks (that I have a hard time controlling.) I’m still experimenting with the zig-zagging of both my calories and my carbs as well. It seems to be keeping the scale moving without stalls or plateaus so far. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, so I will stay the course. I noticed that my scale weights almost always end in a .2 or a .8 very strange.
10/11-183.0-(Trend Weight 186.7)- I have definitely not had enough calories the past couple of days. It seems I’m reaching my carb limits (diabetic diet) and getting in my healthy fats (better for my heart condition), but can’t seem to get the calories just right (weight loss plan). It’s hard to coordinate the 3 diets. I’m not choosing proper earlier in the day I think and that leaves me trying to piece it together at night. It’s really important I mind the carbs/diabetes so once I hit those numbers I’m pretty much struggling for enough calories without going WAY over carbs. Last night I added more nuts and white cheese but I was still shy due to my fats going through the roof. Better planning is in the works! Tonight is my DGS’s school concert so my son & I (the autistic one) plan on meeting my ex-hubby for dinner beforehand and then we will all attend the concert together. That will be nice for my son (Johnny) for sure. I am going to make today my higher calorie day and make sure I get those calories in today before my progress slows way down. It’s a slippery slope. Like walking on a tight rope. If I go over on fat or carbs I’m not going to panic. I seriously need those calories.

October Progress: 4.2 of 74 -
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 October🍂 :
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. ⚖️
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. 🏃♂️
17K Steps daily 👣
Drink 6-8 Glasses of Water Daily 💦
Strength Train 3 days a week 💪
Tai Chi or Some Stretching exercise 1 day a week 🧘
Log daily 📝
Stay under my calorie range 🥗
Read daily 📖
Do something creative or fun daily 🧶 🖍️ 🎮
⚖️ 🏃♂️👣💦💪🧘 📝🥗 📖 🧶 🖍️🎮
Weight Loss to Date: 53.8 Pounds
September Ending Weight: 174.2
🎃👻🍂Happy October!🎃👻🍂
Oct 1: 😁 173.8 A good start 👣💦📝 🥗 🎮
Oct 2: 😁 173.4 👣💦💪📝🥗 📖 🖍️ 🎮
Oct 3: 173.4 👣💦📝🥗 📖 🖍️ 🎮 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 7: 😁172.6 👣💦 📝🥗 📖🖍️🎮
Oct 8: 172.6 👣💦💪 📝🥗 🎮 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: 😁 172 👣💦📝🥗 📖 🧶 🖍️🎮 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 👣💦 📝📖 🎮 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: 😠 173.2 👣💦💪📝🥗 🧶 🖍️🎮 I guess Monday's overage, lack of sleep, and the fact that I was over on my sodium goal yesterday got me.

Starting weight September 1: 141
Goal weight for October: 132.8
October 1: 136.2
October 2: 137.0 I logged 👍 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 👍
October 4: 136.8 I logged 👍
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 👍
October 11: 134.6 I logged 👍
October 12: 135.2 Awwww, I'm kinda disappointed.

Yes, those are the ones! They taste just a bit better than the plain candy corn -- which is I think why they sell out so fast. Still off limits here too, LOL.1 -

We are going to our 55th HS graduation reunion tomorrow. Actually, it is a multi-class reunion 60-69. We graduated in 68 so we will be the second youngest year group there. My wife and I graduated from the same class so it will be double fun catching up with our classmates. Lots of fun, food, drink and celebration to do.
I suspect Oct 15 will not be a good weigh-in??????

10/10-183.2-(Trend Weight 187.1)-
10/11-183.0-(Trend Weight 186.7)- I have definitely not had enough calories the past couple of days. It seems I’m reaching my carb limits (diabetic diet) and getting in my healthy fats (better for my heart condition), but can’t seem to get the calories just right (weight loss plan). It’s hard to coordinate the 3 diets. I’m not choosing proper earlier in the day I think and that leaves me trying to piece it together at night. It’s really important I mind the carbs/diabetes so once I hit those numbers I’m pretty much struggling for enough calories without going WAY over carbs. Last night I added more nuts and white cheese but I was still shy due to my fats going through the roof. Better planning is in the works! Tonight is my DGS’s school concert so my son & I (the autistic one) plan on meeting my ex-hubby for dinner beforehand and then we will all attend the concert together. That will be nice for my son (Johnny) for sure. I am going to make today my higher calorie day and make sure I get those calories in today before my progress slows way down. It’s a slippery slope. Like walking on a tight rope. If I go over on fat or carbs I’m not going to panic. I seriously need those calories.
10/12-185.0-(Trend Weight 186.6)- The scale is up from my zig-zag experiment and is expected. Yesterday was my highest day on the schedule and I did go over by quite a bit but I know I didn’t eat 7000 extra calories so I am okay with this. Honestly, I needed the extra calories as my week had been sketchy and difficult to manage my macros properly. This is likely fluid retention from dinner out yesterday before the school concert, glycogen refilling somewhat and no TMI for 2 days causing some pretty bad low lower stomach cramping and labor type pains. I can feel the inflammation there. Noon dismissal today and tomorrow for DGS (kindergarten) so I’ll be meeting the bus and babysitting. I don’t feel up for it though. Honestly, I just want to stay in my nightgown all day.

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 October🍂 :
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. ⚖️
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. 🏃♂️

Drink 6-8 Glasses of Water Daily 💦
Strength Train 3 days a week 💪

🎃👻🍂Happy October!🎃👻🍂
Oct 1: 😁 173.8 A good start 👣💦📝 🥗 🎮
Oct 2: 😁 173.4 👣💦💪📝🥗 📖 🖍️ 🎮
Oct 3: 173.4 👣💦📝🥗 📖 🖍️ 🎮 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 👣💦💪 📝🥗 🎮 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: 😁 172 👣💦📝🥗 📖 🧶 🖍️🎮 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 👣💦 📝📖 🎮 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: 😠 173.2 👣💦💪📝🥗 🧶 🖍️🎮 I guess Monday's overage, lack of sleep, and the fact that I was over on my sodium goal yesterday got me.

@fourathomej I missed that post that you were so sick - hope you feel better. Thinking of you.
@StirredIntention your post made me smile! Luckily I do my Zumba alone in the basement for noone to see me - especially me. Coordinated I am not!6 -
Hi, I'm a 50 yo married female, 5'6", and tired of looking and feeling like I do. I’m making changes to get out of the Obese category, to look good in my clothing, and to have confidence in public again.

Oct 3: 205.4 - Going to try a different workout, and focus on me today.
Oct 4: 204.9

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.

Board ate my post. Grr.
@BittersweetVita Sending you all the good mojo for your interviews.
@fourathomej I am so, so sorry you're going through this. It must be so scary and frustrating. I hope the doctors can get you comfortable, but also get you on a path where this isn't happening.
@StirredIntention 😂 I am proud of you for going to Zumba. I am too chicken to workout in public. But this is only your 2nd Zumba class. Think about what a badass you're going to see dancing in the mirror in 10 classes! You've got this. Just keep going.
Happy Friday, everyone. I hope your week ends strong, and the weekend starts early.

Jumped on the scales this morning before taking off to travel to our 55 HS reunion. In HS I wrestled at the 130 Lb weight class for 4 years (9-12 grade). I was also 5'6" now I'm 5'4". Now I could wrestle in the light/heavyweight class, Ha! I also figure I'm not getting too heavy, I'm getting too short.

Starting weight September 1: 141
Goal weight for October: 132.8
October 1: 136.2
October 2: 137.0 I logged 👍 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 👍
October 4: 136.8 I logged 👍
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 👍
October 11: 134.6 I logged 👍
October 12: 135.2 Awwww, I'm kinda disappointed.
October 13: 136.0 -Sigh.-

@StirredIntention I look like a bat during exercise, but it is almost Halloween, right?

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.
My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” 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!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’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 it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

10/11-183.0-(Trend Weight 186.7)-
10/12-185.0-(Trend Weight 186.6)- The scale is up from my zig-zag experiment and is expected. Yesterday was my highest day on the schedule and I did go over by quite a bit but I know I didn’t eat 7000 extra calories so I am okay with this. Honestly, I needed the extra calories as my week had been sketchy and difficult to manage my macros properly. This is likely fluid retention from dinner out yesterday before the school concert, glycogen refilling somewhat and no TMI for 2 days causing some pretty bad low lower stomach cramping and labor type pains. I can feel the inflammation there. Noon dismissal today and tomorrow for DGS (kindergarten) so I’ll be meeting the bus and babysitting. I don’t feel up for it though. Honestly, I just want to stay in my nightgown all day.
10/13-185.4-(Trend Weight 186.4)- I’ll attribute my uptick to no TMI now x 3. Took some stool softeners yesterday but they have not helped produce. Lower tummy still hurting in spurts. I don’t really feel that I ate anything differently prior to the onset. I know I was low on water so I will try to drink that down today again. It’s another cold fall day here. Gloomy with some rain expected again. I’ll have to fit in some indoor exercising again. Babysitting my DGS so I guess how much exercise I get in will be up to him.
