Heaviest weight: 175.4 in early 2013.
Original MFP starting weight (January 2018): 168.2
January 1, 2024 Weight: 150.0 (10-day average 146.8)
November 2 (Starting Weight for this challenge): 151.0 (10-day average 148.6)
November goal: Get back to lower end of maintenance weight range
Ultimate goal: Stay in maintenance range between (absolutely 140 - 153 and ideally 142-148)

I report scale weight and (ten day average weight), and I post on Saturdays.

November 2: 151.0 (10-day average 148.6)
November 9: 153.6 (10-day average 151.2)
November 16: 152.4 (10-day average 153.5)
November 23: 154.8 (10-day average 155.0)
November 30: 156.4 (10-day average 155.8)

Total loss for November: Well, it was not a successful month. I gained seven pounds. I had lost ten pounds in October, so at least I didn't gain all of that back - just most of it. I am now up a tenth of a pound for the year.

Maybe I can make friends with December.

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.


11/01-190.6-(Trend Weight: 192.1)-

11/03-189.0-(Trend Weight: 191.7)-

11/10-190.0-(Trend Weight: 191.6)-

11/17-191.2-(Trend Weight: 191.3)-

11/24-186.4-(Trend Weight: 190.9)- This weight is definitely a temporary fluke. It represents a nearly 3 lb drop overnight. The rest of the loss is a true slow hard-earned loss since last week. Yesterday my meals were too small and my water intake practically zero so I feel I’m dehydrated also. So this scale weight won’t last. Yesterday I had finally hit the 180’s with a 189.2 weight which is more in the ballpark of where I should be today. I am traveling today so up it will go. Our family Thanksgiving feast will be next Saturday so I may not weigh on Sunday morning, I may just weight until Monday morning and give myself a 24 hour buffer so it is more realistic going the other way. Enjoy Turkey day to those celebrating. Let’s try not to set ourselves back too much my friends!

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. I gained 3.8 lbs this week. For the entire month of November I’ve gained 2.4 lbs. A horrible week and Not a good month! Oh, and here comes December!



Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

I'm Chris - 74 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
