    Happy Sunday, everyone!I

    Still working on losing my vacation gain. September was a busy month. October has started busy too but not as hectic, so I am trying to stay on track. I saw 199 numbers twice last week so I am close. I just want to STAY in ONEderland!

    I had my annual physical this past week. My blood work is way better than last year, especially glucose and A1C. Last year I was pre-diabetic. This year it is normal. Cholesterol was great, triglycerides great! That is a big non-scale victory.

    It is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Get your mammogram if you are of the right age/risk. Men can get breast cancer too. Had my screening on Friday.

    Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999.

    Lowest since 1999: 195.

    Original starting weight: 243 in 2015.

    MFP Starting weight December 25th, 2016: 233

    Goal: 180 in however long it takes.

    Weekly averages:
    September 24th - 30th: 201.1 I gained 0.8 lb. in September.
    October 1-7: 200.5

    Loss for October: 0.6 lbs

    MFP Loss: 32.5 lbs

    Total cumulative loss since mid 2015: 42.5 lbs

    Until next week... and hopefully back to ONEderland!

    Move more, eat less.

    I am weighing in on the First and the Last day of each month for a full monthly results total.

    Highest Weight Ever: 253 ( in 2014/2015)
    Original starting weight - 235 (on Jan 11, 2018)

    Ultimate goal – 145 lbs by Valentine’s Day. By March 15, 2019 I hope to weigh no more than 153 after an initial and expected water weight gain after transitioning off my diet. I am allowing for (hopefully no more than) 8 pounds for the water weight.

    October starting weight - 174.0
    October goal - 5 lb Loss to be at 169.0
    October Actual End Weight: TBD

    @tiabirdie56 had the idea and passed it onto me. It's a true representation of the entire month and I hope I can get that 5 lbs off !

    Wrong direction! I can feel all the bloat. I know it isn't fat I've gained, but it is still frustrating.

    Lbs lost in October - +1.0/3

    This past weekend was homecoming for my college, so I ate out for every meal, had quite a few drinks, and generally didn't bother trying to make good eating choices. Monday morning I weighed in at 184.6, so I'm happy with how quickly the water weight is dropping off for me.

    Final Thoughts:

    Yes. I've decided to weigh-in 1st and last of the month as mentioned before...I might sneak a peek in between the weeks (that rhymes, ha) but only if I feel like I'm truly back on track, otherwise twice a month is good enough for me.

    Original Starting Weight: 242 Jan. 2017; (Heaviest 262 lbs, 2009)
    October Starting weigh: 190+-
    October Goal: 186.8/187.2
    Ultimate Goal: 160s


    Salty/"Carb-y"+ water weight=Need an adjustment!

    I, too may give in but I'll never give up!
    I took my Blood pressure and weighed self Oct 1st and BP was great but weight was disappointing. I can't blame everything on flare ups; I did eat erratically in the last two weeks BUT I'm slowly getting back on track.

    Long overdue for a WHOOOSH!

    Oct 1st: 190ish
