ππ¦November Dailly Logging and Weigh-in Challengeππ
Replies
-
I did an (OMAD) One Meal A Day yesterday. My OMAD paid off at the scale this morning with a 2-pound loss. The OMAD was a big meal but it was within my usual eating window, so it will be followed by an 18-hour fast. Today and the rest of the week, with the exception of Thanksgiving day, I plan to keep my usual (IF) Intermittent Fasting routine of 18-hour fasting and a 6-hour eating window. Back to eating only twice a day at 10 am and 4 pm. I'm going to prioritize my IF routine for the rest of November, despite obstacles like the chaos of my remodel construction and Thanksgiving,
By the way, I love Thanksgiving! It is a GOOD problem to have. I hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Hello I'm Darlene and have been with this group for a few months now. Retired, 63-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). Been with this group since the spring - my favorite group for support!
My goals for π¦Novemberπ¦ - simplifying them this month - too hard to keep track of everything last month
βοΈ Lose 4 pounds (always my goal) - bringing me out of the obese category and into overweight
π£ 17K steps daily with one day of rest
π Log Daily
π₯ Stay under my calorie range
βοΈπ£ππ₯
Highest Weight: 228
October Ending Weight: 169.6
Nov 1: 171 - π£ π π₯ 17K Steps Not off to a good start - but it's temporary!
Nov 2: DNW - π 4K Steps Tough day for eating and exercise yesterday. It was our monthly visit to my husband's 91 year old cousin who lives about 2 hours away. Leave at 5:30 AM - have breakfast and lunch with her (not good choices) and then a long drive back home later in the afternoon. We got back home at 6:00. Lovely visit, but it makes for a long day and I am exhausted when I get home. I hit the left over Halloween candy for dinner, no exercise at all, couldn't sleep (probably too much sugar). It's just a temporary situation (didn't I say that yesterday?)! Will get back to it today!
Nov 3: 170.4 π£ ππ₯ 23K Steps Good day yesterday; everything on track and on my way back. As a reward for making my 2,023 goal hubby said to get the new Garmin Fitness tracker that I have been eyeing. It came a couple of days ago and I've been trying to figure it out; wearing both the Fitbit and Garmin. Today will switch to totally Garmin. Hubby is getting the Fitbit.
Nov 4: 170.2 π£ππ₯ 20K Steps A slow creep in the right direction. Girls day at the casino today - my sisters and aunt are going. Wish me luck! I should still be ok. I'm eating my breakfast before I go, will bring a protein bar and fruit for my lunch and will be home for dinner. And I won't be drinking (I have to drive home).
Nov 5: 170.4 π£ππ₯ 20K Steps
Nov 6: 170.6 π£ππ₯ 21K Steps Ugh - I've been struggling to see a decrease this week. The only thing I can think of is that I haven't been reaching my water goal. Will concentrate on that today and hope for a whoosh!
Nov 7: 169.6 π£ππ₯ 20K Steps Finally back to my October ending weight. Now to keep it below the 170s for good.
Nov 8: 168.4 π π£ππ₯ 23K Steps My first smile this month! Woo Hoo! Guess who is no longer "obese"! π
Nov 9: 169.8 π£ππ₯ 21K Steps Expected an uptick, and am actually glad that it is not more. Trivia Night last night (took 2nd place) - over my sodium goal and used all my calories from exercise.
Nov 10: 169.6 π£ π π₯ 20K Steps
Nov 11: 169.8 π£ π π₯ 22K Steps A slow creep in the wrong directiion. Went out to dinner, self sabatoge. Time to get back to it!
Nov 12: 169.4 π£ππ₯ 20K Steps A beautiful day in Connecticut yesterday. After my morning walk, spent the day cleaning up the yard - harvested the last of the herbs (froze for later), cleaned up the garden, put away the summer yard stuff. Then relaxed the rest of the day. I'm reading Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes again before I go see the movie next week.
Nov 13: 169.4 π£ππ₯ 20K Steps A chilly start to the day, but beautiful. Got in 20K steps all week - I love walking in the cold weather. It's bingo night with Mom tonight - I HAVE to resist the desserts that everyone brings - gotta get that scale to move!
Nov 14: 168.4 π π£ππ₯ 19K Steps
Nov 15: 168.8 π£π16K Steps
Nov 16: 168.6 π£π 23K Steps A rough couple of days. Going to visit my Aunt this afternoon (she will have dessert), so having a light breakfast and lunch before I go. Then picking up dinner on the way home. So one more challenging day. Fingers crossed it doesn't do any more damage.
Nov 17: 168.6 π£ππ₯ 20K Steps
Nov 18: 168.2π π£ππ₯ 22K Steps Back on track. Going to start getting ready for Thanksgiving today - have to clean out my office to make room for the buffet table. My Thanksgiving count is now up to 25 - my cousin and his girlfriend and there kids (they each have two) will be joining us as well. Their original plans fell through. Less leftovers! Yahoo! Finished the Ballad of Songbird and Snakes (2nd time reading), in anticipation of seeing the movie tomorrow. Looking forward to it. Haven't been to the movie theater in a long time!
Nov 19: 167.4 π π£ππ₯23K Steps. Happy to see this today.
Nov 20: 167.4 π£ππ₯ 15K Steps. Was happy not to see a gain today. Went out to lunch yesterday before the movie. I figured the sodium would get to me. Move was very good. Parts were rushed, but I guess that can't be helped when trying to condense book to 2 1/2 hrs.5 -

@sands4 Did you type your weight wrong today? Thought I would point it out in case you save your document and add to and copy/paste daily. You are doing very well this month!2 -
My name is Donna. I am 5β 5β 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!
250βs; 240βs; 230βs; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180βs; 170's; 160's; 150βs
Starting Weight (from Oct 31st): 181.4
Goal: 177.4 (Four lb Loss)
Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx******************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME****************************
Weight in blue makes me blue because itβs a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because itβs a loss. Weight in black means no change.

11/18-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)-
11/19-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- I avoided the scale today after the traveling yesterday. With both lunch and dinner at restaurants, I just didnβt need to see the damage that I can feel. I have leftovers today so Iβm trying to decide whether to eat them, freeze them, or possibly give them away if my foodie size 0 daughter comes by. Whenever I hit a new weight decade I usually teeter back and forth between the two decades (in this case 170s/180s) for a bit before finally and firmly settling into the new decade. This week complicates it with it being Thanksgiving week but I will be working very hard on it every day in-between. My large family Thanksgiving Dinner will be on Saturday. Iβm not yet sure what my son and I will do on Thursday. All my other children will be with their in-laws. Ours is always delayed because I am the retired one and free most anytime.
11/20-180.8-(Trend Weight 182.5)- The damage on the scale could be much worse, so now I begin the task of teeter-tottering back and forth between the 170βs and the 180βs until itβs a solid 177 or better. That is not going to happen before Thanksgiving, but it is going to happen. (Just putting it out there in the Universe). I did pawn off my leftover Thai dinner from my trip to my foodie daughter. However, I still had leftovers from my travel lunch. I ate most of those yesterday and will finish today. Itβs unbelievable how large some of the portion sizes are on these restaurant meals! Itβs so hard to believe that I used to be able to eat it all in one sitting! I know they are high in sodium, even the unsuspecting meals, so I will be glad to finish today. Water, water, water.

You have given me the inspiration to kick 166's butt this week! I haven't been able to break it successfully yet! LOL!!!Hello my names Brenda and live in Muskoka Ontario Canada 6 months and Bluffton South Carolina 6 months. Two grown children, one married and one teaching in the uk, and our 11 1/2 year old white lab Tucker. I lost 45 lbs and kept it off but itβs starting to creep. Iβm committing to weighing in daily. We have company starting tomorrow for the week , not a great time to start but there never is.

Hey all, I know I am late to the party but I thought I would join.
I have been with MyFitnessPal for over 5 years and when I am present and accountable I have been able to accomplish amazing feats.
In the past 2 years, I quit smoking and gained all my weight back, which is disheartening, but that is why I am here now. I know this has worked for me, for years.

Hi, I'm a 50+ yo married female, 5'6", and tired of looking and feeling like I do. Iβm 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
Nov 1: 208.3
Nov 2: 209.3
Nov 3: 207.8
Nov 4: 207.0
Nov 5: 207.7
Nov 6: 207.8
Nov 7: 208.3
Nov 8: 206.1
Nov 9: 204.5
Nov 10: 204.6
Nov 11: 204.7 -- I biked for 15 min, and danced for 40 minutes at 120 bpm, which I think I want to continue with. It was good movement and it was fun.
Nov 12: 204.5 -- 1 hour of dancing. 3.5 miles biking/15 min.
Nov 13: 204.4
Nov 14: 204.4
Nov 15: 205.4 -- I slept about 4 hours last night, and had sleepy tea at 3am. Both those things spiked the number, because I ate pretty healthy yesterday. Not stressing it.
Nov 16: 205.9 - Only 4 hours sleep. I'm dealing with stomach issues and it has been keeping me up at night. It also requires food at odd hours, which I'm not happy about. I'm angry the scale number is going up too.
Nov 17: 204.7
Nov 18: 205.4 -- It's amazing what not working out does with the scale. I'll be back to it today; I just got too busy yesterday. I did vacuum and clean for an hour, so I did get some bending/stretching. But apparently not enough to counteract those graham crackers last night...
Nov 19: 205.3
Nov 20: 205.6 -- This week will be a tough one, as in addition to Thanksgiving, my husband and I both have birthdays. We're both watching our weight, but we both agree you're allowed to have cake on your birthday -- if not then, when? So there has been, and will be, cake. But I'm also making sure I get my bike and dance workouts in there too, to minimize the damage.

@abowersgirl Welcome! It's never too late. I hope you find the accountability and inspiration you need from this group.stormywxs288 wrote: Β»I did an (OMAD) One Meal A Day yesterday. My OMAD paid off at the scale this morning with a 2-pound loss. The OMAD was a big meal but it was within my usual eating window, so it will be followed by an 18-hour fast. Today and the rest of the week, with the exception of Thanksgiving day, I plan to keep my usual (IF) Intermittent Fasting routine of 18-hour fasting and a 6-hour eating window. Back to eating only twice a day at 10 am and 4 pm. I'm going to prioritize my IF routine for the rest of November, despite obstacles like the chaos of my remodel construction and Thanksgiving,
By the way, I love Thanksgiving! It is a GOOD problem to have. I hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
@stormywxs288 Yay! I'm glad IF is working for you. And I hope that remodel is wrapping up like you'd hoped. I'm going to enjoy Thanksgiving, and triage the damage. It's one day, one blip. We can all do this.
@Rh1aB1a and @sands4, I'm so happy you're seeing progress and getting closer to your goals.
@StirredIntention Exercise definitely boosts my mood. It might take me a bit to force myself to do it, but I almost always feel better after having worked out. That said, if I miss a couple of days, it is so difficult to get back to it. I hope you can get a walk in today!
@deepwoodslady, @jm216, @fourathomej, @ddainiak, anyone I missed or anyone that needs to hear it this week: You've got this!8 -
Hi All, I am a busy mother of five slowly working my way to my goal weight. During September I entered my "Normal" BMI category and am now about 10 pounds from my ultimate goal. This will be my 3rd month in this challenge. I had never weighed myself daily before this challenge, and I am finding it to be so helpful and informative to weigh and check in daily.
My goal for November is to NOT GET DERAILED BY THANKSGIVING. π¦ π₯§ π Let me tell you, I can really get derailed by a holiday. I may or may not log on Thanksgiving or the day after, and that's OK. But my Thanksgiving goal is to log daily from Saturday the 25th through the end of the month.
Starting weight September 1: 141.0
Starting weight November 1: 132.8
Goal for November: 130.4 Considering Thanksgiving, I'm setting my goal a tad on the conservative side.
November 1: 132.8 I logged π
November 2: 132.8 I logged π
November 3: 131.4 I logged π Very happy with today's weight. Over the past week there have been several days that I ate at maintenance, and a couple days I ate well over maintenance. It was hard to tell if I was needlessly eating more, or if I really needed the additional calories. I've already got my activity level set to almost the highest one, and I haven't even gone running or done any exercise for over a week. I guess I walk constantly around the house, dealing with the children and doing housework, always on my feet, and I frequently have to do up and down the stairs to deal with something or put something away, so maybe that burns a lot sometimes. For a while there I thought I was "failing" because I could not hit my calorie goal.
November 4: 131.0 I logged π
November 5: 130.8
November 6: 132.2 I logged π
November 7: 131.8 I logged π
November 8: 131.4 I logged π
November 9: 131.2
November 10: 131.2 I logged π Had a really bad day yesterday. Ended up overeating and eating too much chocolate. Hopefully it won't cause my weight to spike up. Today is a new day.
November 11: 131.0 I logged π
November 12: 131.2 I logged π OK, time to break through this number, lol.
November 13: 130.6 I logged π
November 14: 130.2
November 15: 131.6 I logged π
November 16: 131.2 I logged π There's that familiar number again, lol. Time break through it again, especially these days before Thanksgiving. By the way, for the first time we have a pasture raised grassfed turkey this year for Thanksgiving. I'm looking forward to it.
November 17: 130.2 I logged π Yessss!! Happy dance.
November 18: 129.4 My scale is doing funny things. I'm not sure how accurate it is. At first it said 131.8 which is possible but unlikely (if the other readings this month were correct). So I got on again and it said 129.4 twice, so I'll go with that. But then I got on again about 30 minutes later and it said 127.0. That's highly unlikely also. Wondering if my scale is just not very good anymore.
November 19: 128.2 ??? Again, I have a hard time believing this is correct. I might fiddle around with my scale, look into calibration like ManifestingToday suggested, or replace the batteries. First it said 126.6! No way. Then it said 127.0. Then it said 128.2 three times. My guess would be that 130-131 is more accurate. But I don't know. Another note-- yesterday was full of surprises. The day did NOT go as planned. Calorie counting and all cares for weight loss ended up out the window. Ended up going to a restaurant and just eating a lot. So I expected to see a weight gain, if not from extra calories then at least water retention. I'm wondering if I did have a gain but my scale is off and not reflecting it. Or I could actually have had a loss like it says. π€·ββοΈ Well, I will just keep on with the usual logging, stick to my plans, and hopefully figure out what's up with my scale.
November 20: 131.6 I logged π I am not super happy with my scale right now. Yesterday after I posted here, I turned it over and did not find any recalibration ability, but there is a button to change to kg. So I pushed it a couple times and set it back on pounds. Put it back down again, hopped back on and it said 131.4 I think. I think today's reading is probably pretty accurate..... It's a little disappointing to figure out that the scale has a 5-pound inaccuracy window. How am I supposed to know what's going on? I'll just keep logging and trying, and I'll keep getting on the thing every day and try not to worry too much about it. Let me know if any of you have any thoughts or advice on this.
November 21: 129.6 Stepped on the scale multiple times again and this is what I kept getting, so I'll go with it.

Hello I'm Darlene and have been with this group for a few months now. Retired, 63-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). Been with this group since the spring - my favorite group for support!
My goals for π¦Novemberπ¦ - simplifying them this month - too hard to keep track of everything last month
βοΈ Lose 4 pounds (always my goal) - bringing me out of the obese category and into overweight
π£ 17K steps daily with one day of rest
π Log Daily
π₯ Stay under my calorie range
βοΈπ£ππ₯
Highest Weight: 228
October Ending Weight: 169.6
Nov 1: 171 - π£ π π₯ 17K Steps Not off to a good start - but it's temporary!
Nov 2: DNW - π 4K Steps Tough day for eating and exercise yesterday. It was our monthly visit to my husband's 91 year old cousin who lives about 2 hours away. Leave at 5:30 AM - have breakfast and lunch with her (not good choices) and then a long drive back home later in the afternoon. We got back home at 6:00. Lovely visit, but it makes for a long day and I am exhausted when I get home. I hit the left over Halloween candy for dinner, no exercise at all, couldn't sleep (probably too much sugar). It's just a temporary situation (didn't I say that yesterday?)! Will get back to it today!
Nov 3: 170.4 π£ ππ₯ 23K Steps Good day yesterday; everything on track and on my way back. As a reward for making my 2,023 goal hubby said to get the new Garmin Fitness tracker that I have been eyeing. It came a couple of days ago and I've been trying to figure it out; wearing both the Fitbit and Garmin. Today will switch to totally Garmin. Hubby is getting the Fitbit.
Nov 4: 170.2 π£ππ₯ 20K Steps A slow creep in the right direction. Girls day at the casino today - my sisters and aunt are going. Wish me luck! I should still be ok. I'm eating my breakfast before I go, will bring a protein bar and fruit for my lunch and will be home for dinner. And I won't be drinking (I have to drive home).
Nov 5: 170.4 π£ππ₯ 20K Steps
Nov 6: 170.6 π£ππ₯ 21K Steps Ugh - I've been struggling to see a decrease this week. The only thing I can think of is that I haven't been reaching my water goal. Will concentrate on that today and hope for a whoosh!
Nov 7: 169.6 π£ππ₯ 20K Steps Finally back to my October ending weight. Now to keep it below the 170s for good.
Nov 8: 168.4 π π£ππ₯ 23K Steps My first smile this month! Woo Hoo! Guess who is no longer "obese"! π
Nov 9: 169.8 π£ππ₯ 21K Steps Expected an uptick, and am actually glad that it is not more. Trivia Night last night (took 2nd place) - over my sodium goal and used all my calories from exercise.
Nov 10: 169.6 π£ π π₯ 20K Steps
Nov 11: 169.8 π£ π π₯ 22K Steps A slow creep in the wrong directiion. Went out to dinner, self sabatoge. Time to get back to it!
Nov 12: 169.4 π£ππ₯ 20K Steps A beautiful day in Connecticut yesterday. After my morning walk, spent the day cleaning up the yard - harvested the last of the herbs (froze for later), cleaned up the garden, put away the summer yard stuff. Then relaxed the rest of the day. I'm reading Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes again before I go see the movie next week.
Nov 13: 169.4 π£ππ₯ 20K Steps A chilly start to the day, but beautiful. Got in 20K steps all week - I love walking in the cold weather. It's bingo night with Mom tonight - I HAVE to resist the desserts that everyone brings - gotta get that scale to move!
Nov 14: 168.4 π π£ππ₯ 19K Steps
Nov 15: 168.8 π£π16K Steps
Nov 16: 168.6 π£π 23K Steps A rough couple of days. Going to visit my Aunt this afternoon (she will have dessert), so having a light breakfast and lunch before I go. Then picking up dinner on the way home. So one more challenging day. Fingers crossed it doesn't do any more damage.
Nov 17: 168.6 π£ππ₯ 20K Steps
Nov 18: 168.2π π£ππ₯ 22K Steps Back on track. Going to start getting ready for Thanksgiving today - have to clean out my office to make room for the buffet table. My Thanksgiving count is now up to 25 - my cousin and his girlfriend and there kids (they each have two) will be joining us as well. Their original plans fell through. Less leftovers! Yahoo! Finished the Ballad of Songbird and Snakes (2nd time reading), in anticipation of seeing the movie tomorrow. Looking forward to it. Haven't been to the movie theater in a long time!
Nov 19: 167.4 π π£ππ₯23K Steps. Happy to see this today.
Nov 20: 167.4 π£ππ₯ 15K Steps. Was happy not to see a gain today. Went out to lunch yesterday before the movie. I figured the sodium would get to me. Move was very good. Parts were rushed, but I guess that can't be helped when trying to condense book to 2 1/2 hrs.

Hi, this is my first post on MFP, so I hope I'm doing it right.
I'm Jay. I'm 42, married, with 1 grown up daughter & 1 almost grown up step daughter.
About a year ago I realised I'd put on 15 kg within about 6 months. I previously used to be super fit, but after a couple of years doing very little exercise, I suspect the weight suddenly just caught up with me.
I'm 160cm, & currently 64kg. I don't know what all the acronyms everyone uses mean, so for me:
Goal 1: 60kg
Goal 2 (main goal): 54kg
Goal 3 (if I can do it, great, but if not, c'est la vie): 50kg
Good luck to everyone else trying to reach your targets!

@abowersgirl Hey Steph, nice to see you in the challenge. I gained quite a bit of weight when I quit smoking years ago, but it's something I have never regretted. It does take longer to lose the weight than it did to quit smoking (even though that was so HARD), but it was the right thing to do for my overall health. Congratulations on your success with cigarettes. I look forward to sharing your journey to your success with your weight loss goals too!4 -
@Mokkola Welcome to the group! It's so nice to have you here!4

11/20-180.8-(Trend Weight 182.5)- The damage on the scale could be much worse, so now I begin the task of teeter-tottering back and forth between the 170βs and the 180βs until itβs a solid 177 or better. That is not going to happen before Thanksgiving, but it is going to happen. (Just putting it out there in the Universe). I did pawn off my leftover Thai dinner from my trip to my foodie daughter. However, I still had leftovers from my travel lunch. I ate most of those yesterday and will finish today. Itβs unbelievable how large some of the portion sizes are on these restaurant meals! Itβs so hard to believe that I used to be able to eat it all in one sitting! I know they are high in sodium, even the unsuspecting meals, so I will be glad to finish today. Water, water, water.
11/21-180.4-(Trend Weight 182.3)- I had a bad blood glucose drop yesterday evening (Iβm type 2 diabetic). I havenβt had that happen in awhile. I had to quickly change my snacks planned to things with higher carbs. While I went over carbs on my macros, I still managed to stay within my calorie budget. I also had to eat the snack earlier than Iβd planned making the rest of the night a bit rough, but I did it. I reduced my planned exercise and did not do anything additional late evening because of how bad it made me feel. Iβm going to monitor my diabetic medications. With the recent weight loss, itβs a possibility I need a bit less. They recently reduced my thyroid med by just a tad already and the same may be needed for my T2D meds. I recorded a recent weight of 197 near the end of August which is when I really tried to start turning things around again. Since then, my weight is down about 17 pounds which could possibly be requiring a medication change. Especially since I am on the max dosages of all the meds I take. Iβm going to monitor my numbers very closely (although Thanksgiving throws a wrench in it.). Iβll watch it closely for the next week or two and if my numbers are too low, I will reduce my Metformin. In the meantime, business as usual until I see a pattern. Being able to reduce my meds would be very good news.
