10/18-10/26: DNW - Vacation Northeast coast & Canada
10/27: 222.9 - Up 5.4 lbs in one week of vacation indulgence. I really hope that some of this is water retention from travel and will shed quickly in the next 2 days. The trip with my sister was great but I drank cocktails that had way more calories than my normal glass of wine. Think that was probably my biggest mistake. Starting this round in the RED!
🎂 Not the way I wanted to kick off my birthday … 64 years. Will I get to Onederland before I’m 65??? Bike 30 min
10/28: 220.1 / 221.8 - Not under 220 but I’ll take it. Today taking care of my granddaughter since she has fever and can’t go to daycare. My daughter is flying to North Carolina for work and her husband has 4 meetings at work today so they need Nana’s help with the little one. The other is going to daycare.

Weekly Positive Habit Focus: Water! ✔️
Actual Weight: 220.1

🎯 Still in the red so I’m going to work this coming week to get back down to pre vacation weight.

10/29: 218.8 / 221.1 - Gradually shedding the travel water retention and vacation weight gain. Wondering if this is my real weight which would mean I gained a real pound on this trip ... much like all my other 4 vacations in the past 2 years. Now will be the real challenge to get rid of this pound!
10/30: 217.9 / 220.1 - My knees are bothering me again after all the walking on vacation. Today I’m going to focus on the bike exercise and go back to my PT exercises to help stretch out and strengthen the muscles around the knees.
10/31: 216.5 / 219.0 - 🎃 Yeah! A new low and my trend is under 220. All the grandkids are getting together at my daughter’s home for chili and to trick-o-treat together tonight. I’m looking forward to it! This year we have Elsa and Ana from Frozen and a beautiful pink princess.
11/1: 217.7 / 218.4 - Indulged a little too much plus didn’t get on the bike but did walk with the grandkids trick-or-treating.

11/2: 216.8 / 217.8 - Great lunch out yesterday with an old friend. I chose a fun harvest salad with grilled chicken, spring mix lettuce, pumpkin seeds, roasted beets & butternut squash, goat cheese, quinoa with Fig Balsamic dressing. It was yummy! Never tried these veggies before roasted and never liked beets before but this I loved! Only ate half and stopped when I was full.
Today the families are going to the zoo. Lots of chasing grandkids in my future morning adventures.
11/3: 218.7 / 217.9 - Too much yesterday! Daughter brought both Kolaches and donuts which I had 1 of each. Then DIL brought key lime cup cakes she made for my birthday celebration which were yummy and I had 1 after a salad lunch and another after pasta dinner. The results of the indulgence showed up on the scale this morning.
11/4: 218.3 / 217.9 - 30 min bike

Weekly Goal: < Pre vacation weight 217.5 to get back to my starting challenge weight!

🎯 Lost most of the vacation gain but I’m still in the red for this challenge as I’ve not gotten back to my starting 217.5 pre-vacation reading. Lots of things I could have and should have done this week … bike, not eat so many cupcakes, etc.

11/5: 215.8 / 217.2 - I had a “spell” last night where my heart raced for over an hour (180 bpm). Drank water, lied down, breathing … tried everything I knew to get it to slow down. I have vascular syncope and almost blacked out at dinner when it kicked in. Of course this had to be the time when my DIL and granddaughter were staying over and my sister was here for dinner. Better this morning. Wondering if I burned off the calories LOL
11/6: 218.3 / 217.4 - Taking it easy today … bike 30, min walk 1 mil, paint, plan for potential move since remodeling as much as we want is out of the question cost wise.
11/7: 217.2 / 217.2 - Up at 3am … WHY!?!?
11/8: 217 / 217.1 - Biked 20 min
11/9: 217 / 217.0 - Biked 20 min, weed & mulch front bed, played with grandkids
11/10: 215.6 / 216.5 - Saw 215 during last round before vacation but didn’t hold on to it. Wondering if I’ll be able to this week. Biked 20 min
11/11: 215.5 / 216.1 - Took a 1.5 hr nap both Sat and Sun … I guess my body really needed sleep this weekend.

Weekly Goal: < Pre vacation weight 217.5 to get back to my starting challenge weight!

🎯 Finally shed the pounds from the cruise and I’m below my pre vacation weight and the end weight of the last round. Now to get to 210!!!

🎯 Totally not focused on weight loss and health. I need to get back to working to lose a pound.

11/19: 215.0
11/20: 216.1
11/21: 215.4 Stepping on the scale daily but not much else. I've not even looked at the trend but it seems fairly flat. Need to find the want and the time to focus on me.
11/22: 215.4
11/23: 214.9
11/24: 214.8 / 214.9 - Finally got the moving average as well as the scale below 215. Can I hope that it goes below 210 before the end to he year with all the holiday celebrations I have ahead of me over the next 5 weeks? I’ve not been on the bike in a while … Think I’ll ad that to my must do today list. Bike 20 min.
11/25: 214.3 / 214.7 - Today’s focus … Bike plus PLANNING health insurance, flights for vacation next year and begin decorating for the holidays since we don’t have anyone here for Thanksgiving.

Weekly Goal: < 214
Actual Weight: 214.3
Gain / Loss this week: 1.1
Challenge Weight Loss: 3.2
🎯 Minor progress. Seems like I’ve been at 215 forever but in reality that vacation at the end of October pushed me up to almost 223 temporarily. I’m glad to feel like I’m making a little progress again even if it is very very slow.

I completely forgot to recognize that I've been out of the 220s on my tracking. Yeah Me!
Another NSV is that I went ahead and bought my favorite jeans on sale size 14 in anticipation of needing them Loving that I'm in size 16 down from size 18 that I wore on my trip in April. Now all those clothes are too big.

Did I mention that when going through airport security in October that my jeans from April size 18 required that I got patted down by TSA. HAHAHAH. They were that much too big and they were concerned I had something below my crotch or in my pockets because the pants were hanging off me. LOL Guess I should have set those aside earlier.

Yesterday I was depressed over how slow I was losing and that it seems like I was stuck on 215. BUT this morning I reflected. I started the year at 230.0. My high this year was May 6, 2024 at 234.7. Then I began turning it around ... So I'm actually 20 pounds down from my highest this year. Glad I did not let that continued trend of gaining stick around too long. Need to learn the same lesson over and over again. Quit losing the same pounds over and over each year!

Day 29—11/24— 150.0. A bit of an increase due to a splurge last night.

Day 30—11/25— 150.2. Food was good yesterday. I increased my water, which always makes me retain a bit extra as I get used to it.

Previous and Future Weeks

Week 1

Day 01—10/27— 155.3. My weight is much higher today than it's been recently. It's the result of enjoying a few (too many) beers with friends and eating out yesterday. I'm sure a couple pounds will fall off in the next couple of days as I get back to making good choices.

Day 02—10/28— 154.9. I made much better choices yesterday. Hopefully my body will catch up soon, and I'll return to where I was before the weekend (152, roughly). I walked and ate within calories. I also did some meal planning and prep to prepare for the week.

Day 03—10/29— 153.7. Slowly coming back down. Lots of walking, some body weight exercises, and yoga. Eating was great, with no deviations from the plan. I just need to make this the norm.

Day 04—10/30—152.6. Another good day. My husband started nibbling on the Halloween candy, but I used all of my willpower to resist. More walking and yoga.

Day 05—10/31— 153.2. I've had a really good week so far, goal wise- much better than usual. Yesterday was a bad day for me emotionally. I think part of it had a legit reason, but that just spiraled into feeling all of the current stresses of life. However, I didn't turn to food and still did the exercise I had planned. So in that way, it was a win.

Day 06—11/01— 151.2. Happy to have a bit of a woosh. I've been doing good at resisting Halloween candy so far, but we still have some in the house. I'm going to try to be good. I didn't do well at meeting my exercise goals yesterday (steps, yoga), but my eating was good. I just have to maintain this loss until tomorrow to beat my week goal...
Day 07—11/02—151.6. It's close enough to my goal for the week that I am happy with it. I added in the exercise bike at the gym to my workout. Overall, I'm quite happy with how this week went. I'm proud of most of the decisions I made

Week 1 Goal: 151.5
Week 1 actual weight: 151.6

Day 08—11/03— 152.1 I had a few extra pieces of Halloween candy than I needed, but overall did pretty okay. I did most of my exercise (outdoor walking, treadmill and exercise bike) but didn't get around to yoga. I'm going to make a soup today for lunches this coming week. I also want to make healthyish zucchini muffins that my kids also like, but I'll see if I have time.

Day 09—11/04—151.7. Food quality wasn't great (husband had pizza waiting for me when I got home) but I fit it into my calories and ended the day just below target. I went swimming (first time swimming laps in a LONG time!). This weekend was a lot better than last week.

Day 10—11/05— 152.1. This number keeps popping up. It's time to push it down a bit. I was up all night with my kids, hopefully I'll be able to stick to my plan today.

Day 11—11/06—150.1. Woo-hoo!! I've been really diligent with my food and exercise recently, so it's nice to see it reflected on the scale. I really hope this isn't a fluke.

Day 12—11/07— 151.6. Yesterday was a rest day from the gym, and I treated myself to an alcoholic beverage. I'm not too surprised there was a little bounce up. The rest of the day was good. Food was good, and the rest of my activity was good (outside walk, yoga, body weight exercises).

Day 13—11/08— 150.8. Good day. Good food choices, a bit of intentional exercise. I'm happy some of my healthy choices are becoming more of a habit, and a bit less forced.

Day 14—11/09— 150.8. I'm happy with where I ended this week. I missed my goal, but still made good progress.

Week 2 Goal:150.5
Week 2 actual weight: 150.8

Day 15—11/10— 150.6. Bare minimum type of day. Went to the gym, but wasn't a remarkable workout. Ate within calories, but didn't focus on nutrition. It was good enough.

Day 16—11/11— 151.0. It was another lazy day. I did a couple of short walks, but that's all for exercise. Food was okay and within calories.

Day 17—11/12— 153.1. Constipation is my only guess. I took something for it last night, hopefully it'll do it's thing today and my weight will be better tomorrow.

Day 18—11/13— 150.0. So close to breaking into the 140's.

Day 19—11/14— 151.2. Not a bad day, but not a particularly good day, foodwise. I'm still not running because of my hip. I still go to the gym, but it's not the same intensity as running. I'm hoping next week I'll be able to run again.

Day 20—11/15— 149.9. Another bare minimum day.

Day 21—11/16— 150.8. I bounced around my week goal weight, but missed the mark. I'm purposely pulling back on the exercise, trying to let my hip heal completely. That may show up a little on the scale.

Week 3 Goal: 149.8
Week 3 actual weight: 150.8

Day 22—11/17— 151.2. I'm also with pupowl on this, RUDE! I'm going in the opposite direction than I should be. But I have been a bit lax with my eating lately, plus bare minimum activity. I want to rest my hip a bit longer, but there's no excuse for the overeating!

Day 23—11/18—149.6. I'm very happy with this weight. I didn't have the healthiest food yesterday, but I still stayed under calorie goal. I just went for a 45 min walk with my boys in the wagon yesterday for exercise.

Day 24—11/19— 149.5. Food was good, only a 30 min walk for exercise.

Day 25—11/20— 148.8. I've been super motivated lately. Choosing the right food has been (mostly) pretty easy. My hip is starting to feel better. I'm cautiously optimistic I'll feel ready to start running again next week.

Day 26—11/21— 149.4.

Day 27—11/22— 148.9. Husband has been going through an ice cream phase. So far I have been able to stay away, but it's testing me a bit.

Day 28—11/23— 149.1. Happy to have beat my goal for the week. My kids are at Gramma's this weekend, so I have to be careful not too relax a little too much and treat myself to extra food and alcohol that I don't need.

10/28 154.2 (SW)
11/16 153.6 (3 spins,15,000+ steps)
11/17 151.6 (3 spins, 23,000+ steps)
11/18 151.6 (5 spins, 15,000 steps)

11/22 151.4 (6 spins, 14,000 steps.)
11/23 152.00 (14 calories away from 5 spins. Grrrrr! 21,000 steps.)
11/24 152.2 (3 spins, 16,000 steps)
11/25 152.2 very happy stayed same, because yesterday was carbs, baby, starting with six glorious apple cider donuts for breakfast, and half a pan of socca with dinner. Lunch was a massive bowl of leftover roasted veg, over greens, with feta and chopped bacon.

I was so full, I never got to my monster protein shake (1 bottle chocolate Corepower, 1 serving cottage cheese, dash of cocoa, dash dried coconut milk, ice, blend), and ended up well under again for the day.

This morning is an hour with my trainer, and 90 minute lap swim.

I’ve logged through Wednesday, and am already scrambling for calories today before activity calories added in. I’m either going to bake some scones, or treat myself to a giant peanut butter cup from the bubble tea place around the corner. I’m feeling scone’ish, though.

I read the comments on allrecipes and someone suggested shredding frozen butter for biscuits and scones, instead of using a pastry cutter. Usually I do both, but I forgot to pastry cut when I made cheese biscuits Saturday, and even my husband noticed they were the lightest, fluffiest biscuits ever.

Hello, I'm Brian!!! 67 year, single, retired male living in rural, tiny town Canton, PA 'bout 45 minutes from the NYS border. Lived here for 4 years now, though originally from the Metro-NYC area. Diagnosed with MS in 2018, so now stuck using a rollator. (Thankful to the gods, that I've not been diagnosed with anything more serious so far.) Thrilled to have found MFP, its challenges, and supportive community.

Started on MFP on June 1st, 2024, weighing in at 286.2 lbs

Starting Weight - 10/26 - 229.8 lbs

Day 01—10/27— 229.2 lbs

Day 02—10/28— 229.4 lbs [Made a huge vat of hot and spicy cabbage soup yesterday which has been on simmer for at least 12 hours, then had two big bowls! How many of y'all did the "cabbage soup diet" craze of many years back???

Day 03—10/29— 229.2 lbs [Tuesdays are normally my 500-calorie "fast" day, but I dunno. We'll see what happens!]

Day 04—10/30— 229.0 lbs [I managed to lose .2 lbs even after eating 3 small croissants with pumpkin-butter? Just in case this was a fluke of the scale, TODAY is a total fast day, except for 0-calories beverages]

Day 05—10/31— 229.2 lbs (Well, it WAS a scale fluke, or Halloween prank! I did a total fast yesterday, drank lots of water, but the scale shows I'm UP .2 lbs! LOL)

Day 06—11/01— 228.6 lbs (Yeah! Goes to show you that you either have a 'flukey' scale, and/or that after a fast day your weight can go up/down/stay the same! LOL)

Day 07—11/02— 228.8 lbs (Probably water weight gain, or having corn as my veggie, yesterday!)

Week 1 Goal: Lose at least .2 to 2 lbs, or stay the same weight; no weight gain!
Week 1 actual weight: 228.8 lbs (Down 1 lb)

Day 08—11/03— 229.0 lbs (I think I'm seeing my first weight plateau since starting this health journey on June 1st, 2024.)

Day 09—11/04— 229.2 lbs

Day 10—11/05— DNW

Day 11—11/06— 228.4 lbs

Day 12—11/07— 228.4 lbs (Monday I made a bad choice of getting both my covid and shingles vaccines on the same day. By Monday evening I'd started having sore arms and blah feeling. Woke up early Tuesday with no strength in legs, sore arms, sweating, fever, headache/throbbing and felt like (near) death. Have only been able to drink juice and chicken soup, so far! [/b]

Day 13—11/08— 229.2 lbs

Day 14—11/09— 227.6 lbs

Week 2 Goal: Lose at least .2 to 2 lbs, or stay the same weight; no weight gain!
Week 2 actual weight: 227.6 lbs (Down 1.2 lbs)


Day 15—11/10— 228.4 lbs

Day 16—11/11— 227.2 lbs (Finally recovered from my two vaccinations and back to exercising!)

Day 17—11/12— 226.2 lbs (Got rid of a lot of water throughout the night. Yesterday, in addition to 2 hours peddling, I packed away Fall decorations, and pulling Christmas boxes out!)

Day 18—11/13— 224.6 lbs (I think my scale is acting wacky... I lost 1.6 lbs in 24 hours? <rolling eyes>. I mean, I did exercise for 2 hours yesterday and started putting up my Christmas decorations... and I basically ate just low-calorie cabbage soup.)

Day 19—11/14— 224.2 lbs (More eye rolling!!!)

Day 20—11/15— 223.8 lbs (Was moving around boxes yesterday, putting up Christmas decorations. Been turning my bedroom into more of work area for reading/study/writing/crafts. Being busy does help in losing weight... and you don't think about food, just hydration.)

Day 21—11/16— 224.4 lbs (Woke up at 4am, and didn't feel like sleeping anymore, so it's coffee, reading emails and an early morning weigh-in. Figured my (water) weight would be back up!)

Week 3 Goal: Lose at least .2 to 2 lbs, or stay the same weight; no weight gain!
Week 3 actual weight:224.4 (Down 3.2 lbs)


Day 22—11/17— 223.6 lbs

Day 23—11/18— 224.4 lbs (Water weight back, there was salt in yesterday's breaded chicken patties, and those pickles!)

Day 24—11/19— 226.2 lbs (Haven't eaten much of anything in the past 24 hours, but also haven't drunk any water or herbal tea, either. Feel bloated. Fortunately, Tuesday is my fast day!)

Day 25—11/20— 227.2 lbs (Fasted all yesterday... then ate 1/3 package of spice cookies with my tea in the evening. It was SO GOOD in my mouth, but then afterwards I felt SO GUILTY !!!. Back to just cabbage soup today and tomorrow to get back on track!!!)

Day 26—11/21— 225.0 lbs

Day 27—11/22— 224.2 lbs

Day 28—11/23— 223.4 lbs (Haven't posted in 3 days! Eating those cookies was great while doing it... BUT I felt terribly guilty afterwards, and felt the need to fast the next day, and keep to 500 calories the next 2 days after that!!! Binging is not worth that pressure, believe me, to get back on track!


Week 4 Goal: Lose at least .2 to 2 lbs, or stay the same weight; no weight gain!
Week 4 actual weight: 223.4 lbs (Down 1.0 lb)

Hi : - )
I am Dawn.
5'2"
64 years old
Cranbrook, BC, Canada

The most that I have ever lost on one of these 100s is 7lbs.
I am not sure what it is going to take, but I would like to get back to 130 and below.
I started my weight loss journey because my doc threatened to put me on blood pressure medication for the rest of my life. I joined MFP at 198 pounds although I had been heavier than that.
I lost enough weight to chase away high blood pressure, but now the doc is saying that my arthritis in knees, feet, and ankles would benefit greatly by me dropping another 30 pounds. That number used to be 15 pounds, but I have been gaining and gaining these last couple of years.
I am an active person, and eat nutritious food.


Week 1 Goal: 145.6
Week 1 actual weight: 143.6- Started the week at 146.6

Week 2 Goal: 143.0
Week 2 actual weight: 144.8 - Started the week at 145.0

Week 3 actual weight:144.4 - Started the week at 147.8

Week 4 Goal: Didn't put one
Week 4 actual weight: 146.2 - Started the week at 146.0

Day 29—11/24— 146.8 - Not sure why the jump up in weight. Sigh. Shoveling and doing something with those carrots today. Day off yay!

Day 30—11/25— DNW - Woken at 3am by snowploughs and thought that I would get back to sleep but didn't. I have been drinking coffee and listening to the radio. Nice morning. I have only one job today and only a 4 hour shift, then I am taking my car in for a new starter. I don't mind if I am tired later.
