    2: πŸ₯™πŸ§ΆπŸ’§ I didn't get much sleep this night so I opted out of a work out and instead of reading a book and heading to bed early. Meal prepped a delish chicken salad and turning in for the night πŸ’€
    3: πŸ₯™ 🧢my best friend came into town and we had martinis and went to a comedy show. Over in calories but walked the city and overall a great day ❀️

Ready for a few months without baseball practices and musical rehearsals as we head into the holidays πŸŽ€
    13: πŸ₯™πŸ’§My Monday was 12 years long lol. But I tracked and didn't fall off track. Making a drink and catching up on some reality TV now🍸

    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.

    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. :)
    Nov 21: 205.7
    Nov 22: 206.7 The birthday cake has caught up with me (2nd round tomorrow with my husband). I know the next couple of days will be calorie dense. Today I'll work to have lower cal foods, hopefully offsetting tomorrow. Lots of water and sleep tonight too! I can do this!

    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. πŸ¦ƒ πŸ₯§ 😊 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 🍁
    November 2: 132.8 I logged 🍁
    November 3: 131.4 I logged 🍁 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 🍁
    November 5: 130.8
    November 6: 132.2 I logged 🍁
    November 7: 131.8 I logged 🍁
    November 8: 131.4 I logged 🍁
    November 9: 131.2
    November 10: 131.2 I logged 🍁 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 🍁
    November 12: 131.2 I logged 🍁 OK, time to break through this number, lol.
    November 13: 130.6 I logged 🍁
    November 14: 130.2
    November 15: 131.6 I logged 🍁
    November 16: 131.2 I logged 🍁 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 🍁 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. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ 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 🍁 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 I logged 🍁 Stepped on the scale multiple times again and this is what I kept getting, so I'll go with it.
    November 22: 128.8

    @deepwoodslady Thank you for the birthday wishes. It was a good, chill day. And I'm still here, which unfortunately these days, I know a few people that haven't made it to 54. And I want to be here for a few more, so that's another reason to keep plugging away at this weight loss.

    @Mokkola Welcome to the group! And your post was just fine - Everyone has a different way of posting; find what works for you and run with it. Best of luck as you get started here!

    @andreajlnhe You're doing great! And it seems like the scale is holding with those numbers! Your progress from September is very inspiring.

    @ManifestingToday Happy birthday!

    @Rh1aB1a The last 3 days sequence was awesome! It looks like lowering the calories did work.

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

    11/21-180.4-(Trend Weight 182.3)- I had a bad blood glucose drop yesterday evening (I’m type 2 diabetic). I haven’t 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 I’d 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. I’m going to monitor my diabetic medications. With the recent weight loss, it’s 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. I’m going to monitor my numbers very closely (although Thanksgiving throws a wrench in it.). I’ll 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.

    11/22-179.6-(Trend Weight 182.0)- Traveling today to get grocery items for dinner on Saturday. More sitting and restaurant food….. Here comes more teeter-tottering between the 170/180 decades. I’ll try to be careful today…. I know the Thanksgiving dinner is coming…..

    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.

    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. :)
    Nov 21: 205.7
    Nov 22: 206.7 The birthday cake has caught up with me (2nd round tomorrow with my husband). I know the next couple of days will be calorie dense. Today I'll work to have lower cal foods, hopefully offsetting tomorrow. Lots of water and sleep tonight too! I can do this!

    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. πŸ¦ƒ πŸ₯§ 😊 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 🍁
    November 2: 132.8 I logged 🍁
    November 3: 131.4 I logged 🍁 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 🍁
    November 5: 130.8
    November 6: 132.2 I logged 🍁
    November 7: 131.8 I logged 🍁
    November 8: 131.4 I logged 🍁
    November 9: 131.2
    November 10: 131.2 I logged 🍁 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 🍁
    November 12: 131.2 I logged 🍁 OK, time to break through this number, lol.
    November 13: 130.6 I logged 🍁
    November 14: 130.2
    November 15: 131.6 I logged 🍁
    November 16: 131.2 I logged 🍁 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 🍁 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. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ 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 🍁 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 I logged 🍁 Stepped on the scale multiple times again and this is what I kept getting, so I'll go with it.
    November 22: 128.8 I logged 🍁
    November 23: 127.8 Happy Thanksgiving! Here are my goals from now to the end of the month: 1) Enjoy Thanksgiving today and don't worry about calories. No logging. 2) Don't worry about calories tomorrow either. Logging optional. 3) From Saturday through Nov. 30, my goal is to log daily and check in here daily. 4) If my calories are over for a while, to get back to my calorie goal by Nov. 30.
