    09/19-194.6-(Trend Weight: 192.6)- Lots more travel this past week which always means too much sitting, no time for regular exercise and plenty of restaurant food. It never bodes well for the scale (or the waistline). More travel tomorrow then things should settle down a bit (I hope). It’s so much easier when I’m home in my “safe zone”.

    09/26-191.8-(Trend Weight: 193.5)- Boy is it ever nice to finally type my weight in pink! I really shot up there on the scale for the first day or two this week (after some travel), as you can tell by my trend weight. But I’ve really been working hard to get it back down since. Being mainly at home helps. I didn’t make the best choices yesterday-calories were just under but carbs were through the roof. I skipped dinner because of my choices during the day and it did help to dodge a gain. I hope I won’t be that stupid today. I have lots of healthy food in the house to choose from, no excuses! Have a great week everyone.

    TGIF! I have one more week then I get a week off! But this next week will be busy with choir concert things so just keeping on with my baby steps.

    Good this week: less Starbucks achieved! I had breakfast at home on Sunday, so only 6 days of Starbucks! 😆 better is better, right? I also food prepped my lunches and cooked dinner all week. No fast food slips! It was a close thing a couple times…. Finally broke through my two weeks plateau today!

    Things to work on: obviously, still too much Starbucks, but it’s not the end of the world. I didn’t get any dedicated activity in since there was no derby. Fixing the bike will have to wait for fall break. Been on a plateau for a couple weeks, been stuck around 272-273 and I literally just broke through it today. It’ll be tough to keep that downward trend going next week, but I’m hoping I can manage it.

    Goals for this week: at least 2 days of non Starbucks breakfast, including a work day. Food prep enough this weekend that I can get through concert week with only dining out for our monthly restaurant fundraiser and maybe after the concert. Derby Sunday.

    @deepwoodslady i love your color coding for gains and losses as well as crossing off the numbers. I’ve thought about stealing that idea, but I have a hard enough time getting my weekly posts done 😂 I might cross the numbers off on my fridge though… 🤔

    It’s so hard to eat well while traveling. My go to for dining out has become chicken wings because at least there’s little to no carbs! I might add in a side salad so i get some plants 😂 That being said, I’m no saint, I definitely cave to the carbs too. No sense in beating yourself up over it, we just keep on doing the best we can and sometimes that means getting the small blizzard at Dairy Queen instead of the medium! Hopefully more often it’s actually the healthier food options though. Keep at it 🙂

    Hi everyone!

    Fantastic, Bullieholiday! Despite any temporary setbacks, it's amazing the progress you've made to date!

    Wish I could say the same. My weight actually went up a pound, to 157.6.

    That chicken scampi meal sounds delicious and healthy.

    By the way, my "fantasy" derby name is "Eva Destruction", get it? (You might be too young...1965 song reference.)

    I will check back in on Wednesday.

    Have a great weekend, everyone! 💗

    10/01-193.6-(Trend Weight: 193.8)- I’m stalled today on the numbers, but looking back I seem to be hovering around these same numbers for a good two weeks now. It’s time to get serious and put a dent into it. I’d like to be back in the 180’s by the end of October. Time to have a good month. Let’s do it!

    10/03-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- I didn’t remember that I’d forgotten to weigh until I was fully dressed and drinking my morning Java. Ah well. I slept well last night between my normal multitude of diabetic potty breaks. It was refreshing to get more than 5 hours.

    Hey everyone! Starting over because another board to which I belong is weighing in on Mondays and I wanted to be consistent with all in which I participate to keep copying/pasting consistently throughout using the same dates.

    Okay; here we go. Although my regular weigh-in day is Wednesday, I'm going to follow along with the suggested dates for another board (OCT-NOV-DEC) because it will be easier to weigh in just once per week using the same dates.

    All Time Highest Weight: I'm not sure about MFP initial weight, but my highest was 217.0 lbs. on 2/29/2008
    Challenge Starting Weight for this Group: 156.0 on Monday, October 7th, 2024
    Weight Loss Goal for this Challenge: 12-15 lbs. by 12/30/2024 [Wt. Range: 104-141; "Ideal" Wt. 133]

    I will post updates weekly as we go, but will only paste scale stats once below in this post and again with a first/last, side-by-side, before/after progress comparison on 12/30/2024.

    10/07/24: 156.0 lbs./Current Loss: 0.0 lbs./Total Loss: 0.0 lbs. Below are my "Day 1" (initial) scale stats:
    6kiligtty662.jpg
    I found two good links to try to calculate weight loss target dates: (Try it! It's very interesting!):
    https://www.fitwatch.com/calculator/weight-loss-target-date OR:
    https://www.medindia.net/patients/calculators/weight-loss-calculator.asp
    I think if I can keep up my activity and keep my caloric intake to ~1425-1500 I should be able to arrive within my goal weight by the end of this challenge.

    We're in the home stretch to 2025 - only 12 weeks from Wednesday, October 9th!

    Best wishes everyone, and have a GREAT week!

I usually gain weight during the 4 days she’s here each week and lose on the 3 she is not. It’s not just her treats, it’s cooking meals I don’t normally have to cook when I’m alone and just stick to my normal “diet foods”. It’s also lack of space and privacy for exercise and being tied down babysitting. It’s such a joy to have my DGS here with me on these days but it does cramp my normal diet style a bit. I’ve got to try harder to stay in control and keep up some sort of good routines for myself.

    Hi everyone!

    Welcome, Donna! I love all the colors in your posts! Four pounds in October already! That's wonderful! You've come so far since you started!🏆

    I envy your daughter! It's okay if you go off a bit while enjoying time with your daughter and grandson. I'm glad you got some quality rest. I got everything went well with your son at the dentist.

    I will try to check in on whenever I see a new post

    Have a nice night,

    It’s been a crazy couple of weeks over here. I’ve been on fall break this week so lots of socializing which means dining out and adult beverages! I also had a funeral for a student, a choir concert, and an impromptu road trip. The week before we had homecoming (and all the festivities that go with that), a choir festival and a choir concert. Needless to say, I definitely have not been making the best food choices…

    Good this week: I’ve basically been able to maintain my weight around 270 give or take, which I will count as a win! I have made thoughtful decisions when dining out… I.e. a martini instead of a beer 😂 I have gone grocery shopping so I’m prepared to food prep, i just need to actually do it now. I discovered that one of my co-workers lives less than a mile away so we are going to start food prepping together.

    Goals for next week: I forgot my lunch a few times last week (good thing I keep protein powder on hand!) so getting back into that habit is my top goal. Lots of dining out so limiting that to twice a week. Get up earlier so I have time to eat breakfast at home.

    Starting weight (7/16): 293.8
    7/24: 286.4

    10/17-191.6-(Trend Weight: 193.0)- Down still from October’s start weight. Between the travel and the family DRAMA going on at home (STRESS) I’m truly surprised I have been able to ride the fluctuations and stay in the 191 range. So I’m happy with this after my very TRYING week. Going forward I’ve got to handle my emotions in the family situation better in the hopes that it will help keep my hormones level (and my relationships in tact). Life is hard for all of us at times and I know things will eventually get better. I’ve got to keep working on myself in more ways than one. As far as diet goes, I’m mainly doing well. Exercise is lacking and there is lots of room for improvement. Have a great week everyone!

    @deepwoodslady I would make excuses for no reason since I can control my weight loss journey. I think it’s just part of the journey, it won’t all be a straight line to the finish!, there are twist and turns.

    @kayc_g17 Yes, so true. As they say, "weight loss is not linear". I guess that's why we call it a journey and not just a trip. :) Glad to see you've joined the challenge. I look forward to having you with us.

    10/10-191.2-(Trend Weight: 193.6)-

    10/17-191.6-(Trend Weight: 193.0)- Down still from October’s start weight. Between the travel and the family DRAMA going on at home (STRESS) I’m truly surprised I have been able to ride the fluctuations and stay in the 191 range. So I’m happy with this after my very TRYING week. Going forward I’ve got to handle my emotions in the family situation better in the hopes that it will help keep my hormones level (and my relationships in tact). Life is hard for all of us at times and I know things will eventually get better. I’ve got to keep working on myself in more ways than one. As far as diet goes, I’m mainly doing well. Exercise is lacking and there is lots of room for improvement. Have a great week everyone!

    10/24-191.0-(Trend Weight: 192.3)- Finally back down and just below the pre-travel weight I carried this week. Now to hold onto my progress! I try to pre-log my day the night before but didn’t get to it yesterday. I’m off to make sure that gets done now….before it’s too late!!!!!

    Hello everyone,

    I have been overeating for the past few days; so I need to get a handle on that immediately! I'm not looking forward to my next weigh-in, but I will report honestly here and on my other boards and call "Do-Over" (yet again)! I'm going to keep trying until I get this right - when healthy eating combined with regular activity becomes second nature!

    Wednesday, October 20th, is only 9 weeks until January 1st, 2025, and I hope to lose at least 9 lbs. by then. That won't get me to my initial goal of 140 or less, but at least I'll be out of the 150's, for GOOD!

    Beginning this week, I will switch my weigh-in days back to Wednesdays from now until the end of the year.

    Being careful today, tomorrow and Sunday will give me a few days to make up for this week's overdoing it. (After January 1st, I will go back to weighing in on Sundays.)

    Have a great weekend everyone!

    💗Carole

    Hi everyone!

    Sorry about the typo above! I meant to post Wednesday, October 30th as the day I will weigh in next, NOT October 20th (oops.)

    10/31-190.6-(Trend Weight: 192.3)- Less than last week and is mainly due to some very low calorie fasting for the past 2 days that kept me 800 calories or under. I am gravitating toward the 180’s slowly and in stealth mode. Perhaps I can sneak up on it and it won’t notice! Down 3 lbs for the month of October but up 3.6 for the entire challenge so I must do better. Hoping to keep up the momentum since last month I was up 6.6 lbs for the challenge so I am having some improvement. Anyway, Have a safe evening my friends and lets try to remember that the candy belongs to our kids, grandkids and random trick-or-treaters. Not you or me. Yes, even the Reese‘s Peanut Butter Cups!

    Well, it’s been a super busy month! Choir concert, fall break, parent/teacher conferences, musical, football games… definitely have not kept up with tracking and food prep for the last couple weeks. I’ve kept track of my weight though. Mostly been around 270, but I think I might be on the way back down now. I’m only one pound away from 10% of my starting weight lost!

    Next week I have 3 days of all state show choir so it’ll be a few days of meals out. I’m just going to try and maintain.

    Starting weight (7/16): 293.8
