    Once again I binged ... 1000 calories during lunch ... the good thing is I still have time to workout today so should be able to burn some of the additional calories ... but not much else for the rest of the day ... but now I actually feel sick :'(

    I don’t understand why when I move forward I sabotage myself? It’s so weird ... if I want this so much, why a temporary satisfaction trumps my willingness to continue (plus make me sick!)

    It’s quite disappointing!! :/

    Weigh in this week

    214.4!!

    I can't copy the format from last week from my cell.

    I was up to 222 last week, so needless to say I'm thrilled

    And just 4.4 pounds away from my challenge goal, I think.

    Anyone have a trick for easy access to last Wednesday weigh post? We have such a terrific discussion going that I find my last weigh in pages back..

    Friday Fitness .... What! Friday ALREADY!!!
    Friday has traditionally been ... Let me remember that old nursery rhyme I used to follow as a young bride nearly 60 years ago so that I had some sort of schedule to follow in homemaking ....
    Sunday heat the church bells, Monday wash the clothes. Tuesday get the ironing done, Wednesday mother sews. Thursday go a calling, Friday clean and sweep. Then Saturday is baking day, and thus we close the week. ...
    OK, now I remember, I clean house today. There's plenty of fitness in that!.

    Plus I have a business appointment right at my usual lunch hour so it will be an interesting day to see if I go hungry and then splurge on a restaurant meal as late lunch/early dinner or if I go home and eat something less calorie rich than a restaurant meal.

    Have a great weekend everyone. Like @Bapcarrier so eloquently reminded us ... we only have 3 weeks left in this challenge and then we're 'on our own' for the holidays. Whew --- let's keep losing, even if just to give us a cushion for the end of year festivities and usual weight gains!

    Friday Fitness

    I plan exercise 45 minutes 6 days a week. I have not hit this goal since my back started hurting over 2 months ago. I was finally able to hit my goal this week! My back is feeling ok so far. I've had to change up the exercise I do so I don't reinjure myself. But, so far so good.

    Off to work I go.... loooong weekend. Again. :smile:

    Good morning everyone. I am back home now and sad to say 6 lbs up from when I went on vacation. I knew I'd gain some but 6?? Am hoping some of that is water weight. Personally I am dreading the stretch of holidays coming up, when it comes to food. Hopefully coming here will be a big help. I'm sure it will go much better this year than in years gone by. :)

    Welcome to @KolleenS, @brilessmith and @alanidee. Good luck to you as you join us on your weight loss journey. You will find a lot of motivation and inspiration here.
    @pneschich Happy the biopsy was better than you thought it would be. I hope you won't have to wait too long for results.

    I am totally back on the wagon now that I am home again and ready to do so. As I said a few days ago, this time I find it way easier to get back on track as opposed to other years when I'd say things like Oh well...I gained 6 lbs, might as well give it up. Not sure what is up with me with this new attitude but I'm not knocking it. :wink: Only thing coming up this week is a lunch at a Chinese buffet but I can deal with that. Have done it before. Amish country was great and we saw many beautiful fall leaves as an added bonus. As much fun as it is to get away, it's still always good to get back home. Happy Friday everyone!

    Fall Challenge Report - Week 6 REVISED. @tdunnegan Terry has just reported in with a whopping 7.8 pound loss!! Last week's gain (water weight?) is wiped out plus more, great going! That changes our numbers, giving us a 27.7 pound loss for the week and 107 pounds cumulative loss to date!! Keep up the good work everyone!

    Thank you @b_lisieux and @newjax2017 What a lovely welcome.

    So far I've lost 45lbs and although I need to lose more than 100 more I feel stuck. So day by day and I'm not giving up !

    @KolleenS You've done a great job so far. It's typical to feel stuck or even overwhelmed sometimes, but you've got the right attitude about not giving up, so pat yourself on the back about that! You can do this!
    @verybusybee Wow! 22 straight days of working out. Great job!!!
    @tdunnegan Wow!!! Super great loss! Congratulations!!!

    A few mentions, such a lot of news from everyone. Thanks again to @bapcarrier for keeping tabs on us all.

    @jam5660 - Wow, Onderland! What's the view like from there? B) Can't wait to get there - sometime next spring, I'm hoping.
    @pneschich - Well done getting through that biopsy, fingers crossed it proves nothing to worry about. Keep that photo of you on your paddle board somewhere visible, show that unfeeling nurse what's what! "Us" do not always regain, what a cheek!
    @tdunnegan - Way to go! Brilliant result, and saved the bacon of the rest of us this week. :)
    @b_lisieux - I feel your pain. I'm 5 days back and still carrying those extra pounds, we both said we would :D Glad you had a great trip.
    @newjax2017 - thanks, I did have a fab break. Think I'll remember that more than I will the gained pounds :)
    @happygirlxxx - Oh, so often have I done that in the past, given up when I've either gained some weight, or "rewarded" myself when I've actually made progress. I guess that's what keeps the diet industry and various psychologists/coaches/whatever in business!

    Welcome to @KolleenS, @brilessmith and @alanidee from me too, and all those who joined in the last weeks. I'm sorry I haven't been able to keep up as I'd like.

    I'm hopeless still at regular exercise, that's the next thing to make as a "new Normal" in my life. But we were treated to a perfect English autumn day today, calm, warm and sunny. I took myself off to my local bird reserve, 90 minutes walking and at least 30 minutes peering at birds and chatting with other bird botherers like me :D So, hardly Fitness Friday, but enough to allow me a small glass or two of red wine after dinner B)

    Have a great weekend. I'm scarifying the lawn and generally winter-proofing the garden. Oh joy! :D

    Hi I am Cheri and new to this forum. Started my fitness pal a month ago and want to lose a little over 100 pounds. Had started bariatric surgery route but am allergic to many protein shakes and have migraine sensitivity to rest so am still determined to lose the weight and change to healthier eating habits for life just doing it slow natural route now. I don't quite know how to replicate the challenge format?
    Height 5'2"
    Starting weight 290
    Sept 27-290
    Oct 13- 279
    Oct 23 274
    Oct 27 - 269

    My goal is to get down to 265 go 260 by Nov 17 for this fall challenge.
    Fitness/Exercise is my weak spot due to limited mobility right now. need to figure out how to do some activity/exercise despite back, balance, syncope, chronic migraine issues. pretty sedentary as a result so restricting more on the intake. Snap Kitchen has helped a lot for lunch and dinners when I have migraines. Best wishes to others posting with liver issues looking forward to joining you all and being part of the thread over the next year or so. :)

    Happy Saturday Everyone!!

    Even though I had gained a bit because of all the carbs I ate yesterday I am not in a bad mood; but I need to understand why do I stuff myself every time I get to my lowest weight ... definitively crazy!! :#

    This weekend will be a bit hectic; need to get all the stuff for my dogs ready so the sitter has everything at hand while we are in the US; also pack my bags and leave the house as organized as possible because as soon as we are back my dad is coming to visit.

    How great we have new members!! Welcome all! :smiley: You are really going to like the group ... everyone has been quite welcoming and always have good advice to help you continue with your weight loss journey... we all are going through the same, so we understand the good, the bad and the ugly of the process :wink:

    And do join the challenge... it’s great tool to motivate and keep you accountable!

    Saturday Success!!

    I was able to fit in a size 8!!! Well it’s still a bit tight and the blazer didn’t button up completely, but I think if I lose a couple more lbs will fit perfectly ... so yay!!!

    When I started in January I was a size 18/20 so what a progress!!! I am so happy I will be able to shop in stores that before were no nos because they didn’t carry anything beyond a 14/16 (why they do that I don’t understand :neutral: )

    And I need shoes too! My feet have shrunk and my shoes are so lose now that I tripped yesterday in street (I think my pride was more hurt than my butt :blush: )

    OK time to start running errands! Have a great Sat everyone!!

    Ciao!

    @happygirlxxx I feel this so much! I do the exact Same thing. And I am still carrying all my bad habits with me. It so surprises me that they aren't gone, I still give in to indulgences even when I KNOW I am not hungry and will feel heavy and bloated and bad after. I still want to eat when I'm sad or mad or stressed or lonely. I guess it's all emotional. On my happy days I have no void to fill. Anyway, sorry I can't help, I can just commiserate. Did you see the author @tdunnegan suggested? I haven't yet.. maybe today!

    BUT we really have to work and never give up!

    Celebrate! Being so much smaller, nicer (cheaper) clothes, better movement, much more energy, nothing hurts any more!!!! I can dance and run with my dog, and my friend's kids! I'm not as shy socially cause I don't feel bad about myself all the time.
