    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. 🦃 🥧 😊 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 lbs

    Starting weight November 1: 132.8 lbs

    Goal for November: 130.4 lbs 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. 🤷‍♀️ 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.

    November 24: 129.6
    November 25: 130.6 I logged 🍁 I am filled with a lot of yummy food. I'm stuffed like a turkey! Today my goal is to log.
    November 26: 128.8 I logged 🍁 Yesterday I logged and was actually kinda close to my calorie goal 👍
    November 27: 128.6 I logged 🍁
    November 28: 129.0

    Hi 👋

    Just checking in.

    Height 160cm
    Starting weight: 64.4kg
    1st goal weight: 60kg
    Main goal weight: 54kg
    Super goal weight: 50kg

    11/21 – 64.4
    11/22 - 64.4 - Didn't lose anything, but did well today re diet. Didn't get to do a walk that I'd hoped to do though, which was annoying. There's hope for tomorrow though 😊
    11/23 - 63.7 - Movement on the weight front 🙌. Diet has been good. Managed a walk yesterday, though had to cancel gym appointment today due to something coming up. I plan to go tomorrow morning instead though. If I can, I'll go for a walk again today.
    11/24 – 63.7 - Have to go out tonight, so I won't be able to stick to the diet 😬. Will have to get back on the waggon tomorrow! Went to gym in the morning though, so that's good 🏋️‍♀️
    11/25 – forgot
    11/26 – 63.7 - I'm relieved my night out didn't set me back. I did try to stick to healthier, low calorie dishes, but I still ate & drank as much as I wanted. Went for a walk today also.
    11/27 – 63.2 😁 The diet seems to be slowly working! Just need to keep up the good work.
    11/28 – 63.9 - 🙃 Hopefully tomorrow the number will be lower again. 2 steps forward & 1 back, but still, overall it's still moving in the right direction. I've kept my diet clean today & I've just been to the gym 🏋️‍♀️. Need to try not to eat too much for dinner & this evening now 🤞.
    11/29 –
    11/30 –

    Hope everyone has a lovely day today!

    11/29-179.4-(Trend Weight 181.9)- While in bed last night I couldn’t get that triple chocolate, triple layer cake out of my head that is in the basement fridge leftover from Thanksgiving dinner Saturday. My body even became ravenously hungry. Starving really. I got up but when I looked at the alarm clock it said it was 2:45 a.m. No one needs to eat that late, especially when they are already in bed. So I promptly got back in and covered back up. If the clock had said 8:30 pm, I must admit that I would have had a huge slice. Or shall I say slab? I’ll likely travel today to do some birthday shopping for DGS. Not in the mood to see the 180’s on the scale again tomorrow, though. Especially as a final weigh-in for the challenge.

    11/30-xxxxx-(Trend Weight xxxxx)-

    @deepwoodslady Wow, that triple layer chocolate cake would have tempted me also! You showed a lot of strength resisting it! I'm rooting for you getting to the 170's and crossing another decade off your list!
