    Nov 1 βœ”οΈ it is black walnut season so after work I spent over an hour picking them up. This morning I did treadmill and upper body.
    Nov 2 βœ”οΈ today I did a MFP workout video. It was the kettlebell lower body day 1. So many squats!!! I had to modify some but I pushed through.
    Nov 3 βœ”οΈ- really proud of myself today. I didn’t want to get up and workout. My legs hurt from all the squats I did yesterday. I got on treadmill for 30 minutes
    Nov 4 βœ”οΈ weight- 193- my plan today is to clean out my garden and flower beds. My legs have hurt so bad today.
    Nov 5 βœ”οΈ-weight- 192.6-I am glad for the loss but for having over 1700 steps yesterday and working so hard in the yard, I was sure I would have lost more. But I am learning the scale is just a tool it is not a definition of me
    Nov 9βœ”οΈ-193.6
    Nov 10βœ”οΈ-195- I am so discouraged. I tried the OMO app program. It is a cheaper version of Noom. So I have not been logging a lot with MFP. One thing I notice right away is MFP has this support system. I am so frustrated though as why my weight is going up again. Normally I would give up. But I am choosing to press forward.
    Nov 11βœ”οΈ- 195-I had a great day! Spent the morning with my daughter in law. And then in the evening my husband and I celebrated our 14th anniversary. I had a few extra treats today. I am focused and planning for the week.

    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 πŸ¦ƒNovemberπŸ¦ƒ - simplifying them this month - too hard to keep track of everything last month

    βš–οΈ Lose 4 pounds (always my goal) - bringing me out of the obese category and into overweight
    πŸ‘£ 17K steps daily with one day of rest
    πŸ“ Log Daily
    πŸ₯— Stay under my calorie range

    βš–οΈπŸ‘£πŸ“πŸ₯—

    Highest Weight: 228
    October Ending Weight: 169.6

    Nov 1: 171 - πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ₯— 17K Steps Not off to a good start - but it's temporary!
    Nov 2: DNW - πŸ“ 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 πŸ‘£ πŸ“πŸ₯— 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 πŸ‘£πŸ“πŸ₯— 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 πŸ‘£πŸ“πŸ₯— 20K Steps
    Nov 6: 170.6 πŸ‘£πŸ“πŸ₯— 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 πŸ‘£πŸ“πŸ₯— 20K Steps Finally back to my October ending weight. Now to keep it below the 170s for good.
    Nov 8: 168.4 😁 πŸ‘£πŸ“πŸ₯— 23K Steps My first smile this month! Woo Hoo! Guess who is no longer "obese"! πŸ˜‰
    Nov 9: 169.8 πŸ‘£πŸ“πŸ₯— 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 πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ₯— 20K Steps
    Nov 11: 169.8 πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ₯— 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 πŸ‘£πŸ“πŸ₯— 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.

    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 OK, time to break through this number, lol.

    @lauramavity7293 Very interesting concept. Do you eat as if sedentary, or did you adjust for exercise?

    I eat as if sedentary or even sometimes aim for BMR because some weeks I can only really get to the gym once…I aim for that calorie intake but it I do β€œ miss the mark” by a few hundred calories, it usually puts me at 1800ish which is still daily β€œright on” for someone at my weight (225ish) to have a calorie deficit. So going β€œover” 1290 (BMR) or even 1550 (sedentary) for 140lbs once or twice during the week doesn’t set me back much... What is that quote about aiming for the stars and you might just land on the moon?!?! It’s encouraging to see the weight coming off and for me…even when I’ve lost weight at a slower weight of 1-2lbs a week…it still has crept back up sometimes and hasn’t been a long term loss. I’m not really sure anymore how true that advice really is. (Just doing a lot of research and experimenting with trying to eat as if I would if I were already at my goal weight…my lifestyle and eating habits at 140lbs).

    Thank you for explaining all of this. I'm definitely going to look at experimenting with this. I seem to only get so far with the usual advice that's out there. And I'm hoping after some doc visits planed for Jan (because it takes months to get in with doctors where I am), maybe I'll have some additional info from bloodwork and tests to help figure out how to increase my weight loss. Thank you!

    First, Andrea, I want to say you are an inspiration for me and others on MFP. I so want to get to a healthy BMI like you.

    Second, I think we may have some of the same DNA as holidays derail me too. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE THE HOLIDAYS. Potlucks, parties, treats, traditions, drinks, special holiday desserts, and foods are just some of the things I have a love-hate relationship with. So. I’m adopting your goal to NOT GET DERAILED DURING THE HOLIDAYS. I’m not going to let Thanksgiving Day turn into Thanksgiving Month.

    Thanks, Andrea!

    Oops! I may be full of soup. Made potato soup yesterday. We ate later than usual and my hunger overpowered my restraint. That combined with the fact I grew up in Idaho made me feel obligated to eat too much soup.

    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.


    11/01-181.2-(Trend Weight 184.5)-

    11/02-183.2-(Trend Weight 184.4)-

    11/09-183.2-(Trend Weight 184.0)-

    11/10-183.0-(Trend Weight 183.9)-

    11/11-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- I was at the hotel this morning. Did not weigh. The comedy show was hilarious, the venue was stunning, the hotel was very nice, the food was good, but the best part was spending Friday and Saturday with my oldest daughter.

    11/12-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- I got home last night after dark. OMAD yesterday but it was Chinese while on the road. Today I feel sodium bloated. No weigh-in today as today will be my buffer day from the travels. So much sitting over the weekend. 5 hour drive each way (plus stops) and, of course, the show itself. It’s nice to be home where I can get in more movement but I did have a wonderful time. This week will be damage control for me more than progress, I fear….. I mean, the cat was kneading on my tummy again last night and that tells me a lot.

    In the Biggest Loser Challenge that I am in we are reflecting on how important it is for us to see how far we have come. You see yourself everyday - so probably don't even notice how much you accomplished. Even if you measure regularly - it's hard to imagine what a 3 inch loss is. Take a look at your before and after photos side my side - you'll be surprised at the difference. If you are just starting this journey, take a before picture so that you have something to look back at. You don't need to share, but if you would like - we could all use the inspiration. Here is mine:

    @stormywxs288 Yes, I completely agree about the holidays! Christmas will be the most challenging for me. I have a tradition of making a lot of delicious cookies and truffles which I look forward to every year. It can easily turn into a month of indulging, like you said. I plan to make a similar goal for Christmas. I plan to eat the cookies and enjoy the food, but if I check in daily and get back to logging ASAP, I can get back on track.

    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 πŸ¦ƒNovemberπŸ¦ƒ - simplifying them this month - too hard to keep track of everything last month

    βš–οΈ Lose 4 pounds (always my goal) - bringing me out of the obese category and into overweight
    πŸ‘£ 17K steps daily with one day of rest
    πŸ“ Log Daily
    πŸ₯— Stay under my calorie range

    βš–οΈπŸ‘£πŸ“πŸ₯—

    Highest Weight: 228
    October Ending Weight: 169.6

    Nov 1: 171 - πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ₯— 17K Steps Not off to a good start - but it's temporary!
    Nov 2: DNW - πŸ“ 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 πŸ‘£ πŸ“πŸ₯— 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 πŸ‘£πŸ“πŸ₯— 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 πŸ‘£πŸ“πŸ₯— 20K Steps
    Nov 6: 170.6 πŸ‘£πŸ“πŸ₯— 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 πŸ‘£πŸ“πŸ₯— 20K Steps Finally back to my October ending weight. Now to keep it below the 170s for good.
    Nov 8: 168.4 😁 πŸ‘£πŸ“πŸ₯— 23K Steps My first smile this month! Woo Hoo! Guess who is no longer "obese"! πŸ˜‰
    Nov 9: 169.8 πŸ‘£πŸ“πŸ₯— 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 πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ₯— 20K Steps
    Nov 11: 169.8 πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ₯— 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 πŸ‘£πŸ“πŸ₯— 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 πŸ‘£πŸ“πŸ₯— 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!

    @deepwoodslady and @hawslrs Thank you, I couldn't see the change in myself until I took the picture. It was an excellent exercise for me to do.

    @deepwoodslady So glad you had a wonderful time.

    @myhands4God Happy Anniversary!

    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.
