So I didn't lose weight this week. Gained instead. Not as much as I thought I would being Thanksgiving. I'm not going to be too upset about it. Could have been worse. But it's still like starting all over.

11/30 didn’t weigh. Can’t read scale in dark. Hubs couldn’t get up because of EIGHT overtimes in the game last night.
Today is double hot yoga classes, and lots of steps. It is freezing outside. Literally. 29 degrees. Quite unusual for us.4 -
I'm 36 years old, 5'3.SAHM to two beautiful toddlers, both with some special needs. Life is crazy, but I'm doing my best to make the most out of life for myself and my family.

Week 4 Goal: 149.8
Week 4 Actual: 149.1
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.
Day 31—11/26— 149.6. Grumble, grumble, grumble. A bit higher than I would like. Trust the process and stay the course. I know I'm doing everything right and the scale will catch up.
Day 32—11/27— 148.3.
Day 33—11/28— 148.8. I'm starting to feel like the week's goal was a bit over ambitious, especially considering the holliday today. We're having a fairly modest Thanksgiving dinner, with just the turkey and a couple sides, and pie. The goal is to not go crazy, but I don't think I'll be able to stay within calories today, while still enjoying the holliday, which I'm planning to do.
Day 34—11/29— 148.7. I mostly controlled myself over Thanksgiving. But now we seem to be in the middle of some sort of stomach bug. Blahh.
Day 35—11/30— 147.6. This is the result of the stomach bug, so I'm not expecting it to stick. But we all seem to be feeling better now.
Week 5 Goal: 148.0
Week 5 actual weight: 147.6
Previous and Future WeeksWeek 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.

@dawnbgethealthy - When you mentioned drama at work I thought of a lot of things but not their responsibility to pay you! Relax and enjoy the downtime and the heat! Good luck with finding another job to fill your coffers.3

10/17: 217.5 - Ending weight last round on 10/17/2024 before vacation.
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 Goal: < ?
Weekly Positive Habit Focus: Water! ✔️
Actual Weight: 220.1
Gain / Loss this week: 2.6
Challenge Weight Loss: 0
🎯 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!
Weekly Positive Habit Focus: Water! ✔️
Actual Weight: 218.3
Gain / Loss this week: 1.8
Challenge Weight Loss: .8
🎯 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!
Weekly Positive Habit Focus: Bike 4x this week ✔️
Actual Weight: 215.5
Gain / Loss this week: 2.8
Challenge Weight Loss: 2
🎯 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!!!
11/12: 215.1 / 215.6 - I have so many art projects in process. I need to pick one and finish today.

🎯 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 BMI = 37.9
Gain / Loss this week: 1.1

🎯 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.
11/26: 214.1 / 214.4 - Hit yesterday with a terrible cold that makes me feel awful.
11/27: 213.6 / 214.0 - Slept most of yesterday … wasted day but I think the fever broke last night.
11/28: 213.4 / 213.7 - Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 Just DH & I today. Tomorrow we join our son & wife in Austin for Thanksgiving meal with our DIL’s parents, one of her brothers and some of their friends.
11/29: 214.5 / 213.9 - 6 hrs in the car and Thanksgiving feast on Friday shows on the scale. Not unexpected.

Happy Saturday!
I see a lot of losses in the group.....WTG! And good attitudes from others who realize a holiday can be challenging....that's great!
Day 29—11/24— 175.2 - No breakfast, because I wasn't hungry. Lunch is soup. Dinner is still up in the air. Might get in a walk or back on the stationary bike again. Shooting for a one pound loss this week and see what happens.
Day 30—11/25— Forget what the scale said
Day 31—11/26— Didn't weigh myself
Day 32—11/27—Didn't weigh myself
Day 33—11/28— 176.2 - I feel awful. I wish people wouldn't go out sick and spread their viruses around. I will be with myself and my dog today. But my daughter Venmo'd me money to order Thanksgiving dinner in and I am going to enjoy every bite.
Day 34—11/29— I77.2 - This was a weird day. Been feeling ok and then less than ok, which means I am getting better. Had a normal eggs and toast breakfast and a salad for dinner with a piece of carrots cake for dessert. Hoping tomorrow I feel ready to start getting ready to decorate for Christmas.
Day 35—11/30— 176.2 - Not concerned about the weight as my being sick was a factor....no real exercise. Next week will be better. I have a pot roast in the crockpot for a nice dinner.

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.

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.
Day 31—11/26—
Day 32—11/27—
Day 33—11/28— 147.4 - I know that I have been MIA from this thread for a couple of days. It took me awhile to catch up on everyone's posts! I have sort of quit one of my jobs, there has been a lot of drama and other things. I will just be working at the Indian restaurant for now and slowly getting out with some resumees. Kind of taking a break for a bit to regroup.
Day 34—11/29— 147.0 - I had my furnace serviced in the morning on Wednesday, then went to work. When I got home I thought that it felt cold, but the temps outside had really fallen. By the time that I realized that the furnace hadn't come on the shop was closed so I left a message. Wednesday night I am usually at work, but am kind of on strike/LOA from there since I was having too much trouble getting paid. I left a phone message for the HVAC people, then spent Wednesday evening bundled up in thick pjs, a thick robe, 2 blankets and a little space heater and watched "The Voice". I warmed my bed with a heating pad. It was actually quite pleasant : - ) Yesterday morning they phoned me very early having gotten my phone message. It was just a switch that they turn off to service the furnace. Voila, heat : - ) It was so nice not to run from one job to another yesterday! I realize that I will have to get another job right away or return to taking shifts at the LTC place. Giving myself a little rest first. Going to a play with some friends tomorrow, and we are meeting an hour ahead at my place so I suppose that I will do some cleaning Saturday during the day.
Day 35—11/30— 147.2 - I have had a stressful week, but I am not stressing about this particular weigh in. Yes, I am above my start weight of the 100, but I am taking it in stride. I went to 2 places after my 1st job yesterday that I thought that I might like to work at, but both were fully staffed and not needing anyone. I will pound the pavement again on my day off on Tuesday, hiring managers are not around on weekends, and most places are closed Mondays. If I don't have something by the end of the week I will take shift at the LTC, there are many posted each day and my foot is still in the door there even though I hate the job. They are 4 hour shifts only even though it pays $25 per hour. Man, I wish that I could retire or semi-retire, but not in the cards at this point, and I feel like I will never get the $3,000 of pay owed to me from the bar. Lol, oversharing a bit this morning. I have friends coming over today and then we are walking over to the theatre for a play. It is the sweetest theatre, the smaller of the 2 that we have in town.

Beginning of Round Thoughts:
I am Sick and Tired of being Sick and Tired. I mean, I am LITERALLY both Sick with many ailments and Tired of putting myself through this back & forth! I weighed 181.6 on January 1st, 2024. This has not been a good year for me. How much progress I can make in November, December and January is very very questionable, at the very least. Those months are riddled with holidays, baking pies and cakes, making cookies and fudge. Lots of decadent dishes high in calories and carbs. And lots of shopping excursions away from home which always include restaurants and long car rides. So many celebrations including multiple family birthdays as well! These are the hardest months of the year for most of us. But I’m not throwing in the towel just yet!. I will do ALL I can, As I can, When I can. Life is going to happen and I will definitely live it, but there are lots of days where progress can still be made and/or damages can be mitigated. I must stay steadfast and strong in my resolve. This is about my health journey, not just my weight journey. I will not give up based on what month the calendar page is on!

It’s amazing how far the drywall sand travels and how thick it can accumulate. I will also be starting some of my baking. I woke up starving so today will be challenging but tomorrow’s dinner will be worse, especially dessert (pies!)
Day 35-11/30-193.0-(Trend weight 191.7) I’m very surprised by this jump. I thought yesterday went very well! Thanksgiving Feast today with all of the family. I got the last of the drywall dust mess that covered EVERYTHING on 3 floors of this house completely done by 11:00 last night. I ate well and burned a ton of calories so I’m confused. In one week I have completely wiped out all my losses since the beginning of the challenge. I gained 3.8 lbs this week. For the entire month of November I’ve gained 2.4 lbs. Not a good month. Oh, and here comes December!

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 lbsDay 01—10/27— 229.2 lbsDay 14—11/09— 227.6 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
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)
Day 29—11/24— 225.4 lbs (Expect that my weight will be bouncing up and down through January 2nd, 2025)
Day 30—11/25— 224.0 lbs (DITTO ABOVE COMMENT)
Day 31—11/26— 224.6 lbs (DITTO ABOVE COMMENT!)
Day 32—11/27— 224.8 lbs (Fasting today in preparation to hopefully eat responsibly tomorrow!!! LOL)
Day 33—11/28— 225.0 lbs (HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE IN THE STATES!!! Yesterday was NOT a successful fasting day <sigh>. I will attempt to eat a sensible holiday meal today! LOL)
Day 34—11/29— 226.6 lbs (It is, what it is for a post-Holiday weigh-in <sigh>)

@dawnbgethealthy oh my gosh. That’s terrible. Sincerest wishes they turn things around and can pay you. You might ought to check and make sure they’ve been paying your SS, too, so you don’t get shorted there.
Is there a Target nearby? I’ve got a friend who just retired as HR manager for the local store and she was constantly talking about how hard it was to hire reliable help, especially during the holidays. It’d at least be something. She’d have been thrilled to have someone reliable like you come in for an app.
Are they paying other employees? How could you shake them up?
I’d be out front with a sign that said “Pay Me, You SOBs!”6 -
Michele, 5'8", 65 years old, from Ohio.
Starting weight: 151
Heaviest weight: 180
Goal weight: 145
Day 29—11/24— 151.0 - Just grateful to be here.
Day 30—11/25— 149.8 - The lowest I have been recently. Trying now to move beyond this.
Day 31—11/26— 150.2

Week 5:
Day 29 ~11/24: 176 Work
Day 30 ~ 11/25: 177.4 Work
Day 31 ~ 11/26: 179 Jeeeez, discouraged. Less than a week ago I felt confident in setting a Friday goal of 174. Now this??
Day 32 ~ 11/27: 176.8 exhausted Have a plan, come January I’m asking to change to a 4 hr afternoon shift. Think this will be healthier for me as I’ll have time and energy to walk, have more balanced meals because at present I’m unable to break free of this high 170’s plateau. Yesterday’s weight freaked me out because I’ve eliminated many of my snacks and although not 100% “on plan”, it certainly wasn’t a blow out.
Day 33 ~ 11/28: 175.8 Staff dinner out; good time, good beef tacos. Saved calories by opting for a Coors Light instead of wine. Spent morning on the phone, then quick trip into town to finalize a gift for a retiring co-worker.
Day 34 ~ 11/29: 176.4 Didn’t get out to do my outdoor exercise; Shaw cable guy here in the morning, then slipped into deep power cleaning mode, vac’d and mopped living level.
Day 35 ~ 11/30: 178.6 ☹ Good Lord, put on an old Step video that I used to find too slow etc, now I’m tripping over my feet just trying to keep up! But it’s a good measure of where my realistic starting point is. Going for a short but tough hike that’ll give my lungs a good workout. “Every great feat starts with the first steps.” ~ Me. There’ll be a point next summer that I’ll reflect on these words, this day.
Week 5 Goal: 174 … seems as soon as I set an optimistic goal my weight flares up!
Week 5 actual weight: 178.6

After doing great on the first 100 day challenge, it's a struggle this time around! Many challenges in the last few weeks, but that's life isn't it? Sometimes easy, sometimes hard. I'm just riding the waves with a good attitude knowing that just like life's ups and downs, the scale has ups and downs. As long as y'all are here and we have this challenge, that makes all the difference because I won't give up. Giving up means the scale will go up, up, up. Once I can get back to my normal routine, and my big kids go back home, then I know it'll go down again:)5 -

Previous and Future WeeksWeek 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.
Week 4 Goal: 149.8
Week 4 actual weight: 149.1
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.
Day 31—11/26— 149.6. Grumble, grumble, grumble. A bit higher than I would like. Trust the process and stay the course. I know I'm doing everything right and the scale will catch up.
Day 32—11/27— 148.3.
Day 33—11/28— 148.8. I'm starting to feel like the week's goal was a bit over ambitious, especially considering the holliday today. We're having a fairly modest Thanksgiving dinner, with just the turkey and a couple sides, and pie. The goal is to not go crazy, but I don't think I'll be able to stay within calories today, while still enjoying the holliday, which I'm planning to do.
Day 34—11/29— 148.7. I mostly controlled myself over Thanksgiving. But now we seem to be in the middle of some sort of stomach bug. Blahh.
Day 35—11/30— 147.6. This is the result of the stomach bug, so I'm not expecting it to stick. But we all seem to be feeling better now.

Week 14 actual weight:3 -
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 lbsDay 01—10/27— 229.2 lbsDay 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!
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
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)
Day 29—11/24— 225.4 lbs (Expect that my weight will be bouncing up and down through January 2nd, 2025)
Day 30—11/25— 224.0 lbs (DITTO ABOVE COMMENT)
Day 31—11/26— 224.6 lbs (DITTO ABOVE COMMENT!)
Day 32—11/27— 224.8 lbs (Fasting today in preparation to hopefully eat responsibly tomorrow!!! LOL)
Day 33—11/28— 225.0 lbs (HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE IN THE STATES!!! Yesterday was NOT a successful fasting day <sigh>. I will attempt to eat a sensible holiday meal today! LOL)
Day 34—11/29— 226.6 lbs (It is, what it is for a post-Holiday weigh-in <sigh>)
Day 35—11/30— 227.2 lbs (Fehhh !!!)

“We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou
My Name is Donna, Age 64. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA

Beginning of Round Thoughts:
I am Sick and Tired of being Sick and Tired. I mean, I am LITERALLY both Sick with many ailments and Tired of putting myself through this back & forth! I weighed 181.6 on January 1st, 2024. This has not been a good year for me. How much progress I can make in November, December and January is very very questionable, at the very least. Those months are riddled with holidays, baking pies and cakes, making cookies and fudge. Lots of decadent dishes high in calories and carbs. And lots of shopping excursions away from home which always include restaurants and long car rides. So many celebrations including multiple family birthdays as well! These are the hardest months of the year for most of us. But I’m not throwing in the towel just yet!. I will do ALL I can, As I can, When I can. Life is going to happen and I will definitely live it, but there are lots of days where progress can still be made and/or damages can be mitigated. I must stay steadfast and strong in my resolve. This is about my health journey, not just my weight journey. I will not give up based on what month the calendar page is on!

Day 35-11/30-193.0-(Trend weight 191.7) I’m very surprised by this jump. I thought yesterday went very well. Thanksgiving Feast today with all of the family. I got the last of the drywall dust mess that covered EVERYTHING on 3 floors of this house completely done by 11:00 last night. I ate well and burned a ton of calories so I’m confused. In one week I have completely wiped out all my losses since the beginning of the challenge. I gained 3.8 lbs this week. For the entire month of November I’ve gained 2.4 lbs. Not a good month. Oh, and here comes December!

Day 36-12/01-194.2-(Trend weight 192.0) Well, here is the expected gain after our family Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. I really didn’t feel like I ate very much as I got full pretty quickly. However, there are so many starches / carbs that I’m just not used to having all at once. Hopefully some of this will flush out. December will be tough because I have to travel so much, every time I need to shop for Christmas. Living in a very remote rural area is beautiful but very inconvenient at times, especially this time of year! We are expecting 4 more inches of snow today but I won’t complain. A town about 60 miles from me just got a record snowfall of 25” on Friday beating a record that had been held since 1942. Winter is officially here in my neck of the woods!

Is there a Target nearby? I’ve got a friend who just retired as HR manager for the local store and she was constantly talking about how hard it was to hire reliable help, especially during the holidays. It’d at least be something. She’d have been thrilled to have someone reliable like you come in for an app.
Are they paying other employees? How could you shake them up?
I’d be out front with a sign that said “Pay Me, You SOBs!”
Thank you for that : - )
Yes, we have a tonne of big box stores here, always hiring. Unfortunately for me I can not work for minimum wage because 40 hours a week at that pay would still leave me in the hole/growing debt each and every month.
The long term care place (if I have to take shifts there) pays $10 per hour over minimum wage. That is in my back pocket if I need to go back to taking shifts there.
Most places around here (restaurants and bars) are closed on Mondays, but I will drop resumes to the ones that are open after my day job tomorrow.
Although I am owed money, I still have all of my cash tips to deposit from the month. I am pretty much okay not to work a second job for this coming week at least.
As for shaking them up, the labour board would seize their assets. I was paid under the table there, but since I was the administrator for their system I stopped in there and sent all of the reports to myself s that he can't say that I didn't work for him.
I would rather not have the drama of course, but it is what it is and I will deal with it.4 -

Feeling eh at yoga this morning. I’m beginning week 2 of three weeks of no deep folds or inversions, lest I damage my eye (tiny little chance but hey….). So I was doing my own thing in the back of the room, making fun modifications to suit my needs. Headstand? Not today, but I’ll do a firefly, thankya.
After class, the 30-something guy on the next mat, turned to me and said,”You are my inspiration! You are so strong and flexible!”
That was pretty cool and has utterly made my day.
Feeling cocky……..🐓2 -
