Current Stats/Comments:

Oct 01 - 174.0 STARTING WEIGHT. Good luck everyone! I look forward to walking thru this journey with each & every one of you.

Oct 08 - 174.8 I need to get moving. Getting lazy and complacent. I am still enjoying many foods on my plan but I am starting to crave the sweets again. I’m going to have to pull out all my bag of tricks to do better this month than I did in September. I can do this !

Oct 15 - 175.4 Too much food. All the wrong foods. This is what happens. But it works the other way around too, thank Goodness.

Oct 22 - 177.8 Away for a few days to help DB after surgery. Big City for me. Big foods I’ve never tried. Kept portions good but the carbs were horrendous. Next week’s goal is to type my weight in red instead of green. Have a great week everyone!

Oct 29 - 177.0 So So So very much travel this past week that I am SHOCKED I could get my weight back around in time for this weekly weigh-in. It had went up considerably in the past week. Bloat is likely gone from the restaurant foods. Now, just to work on the fat again! I am not going to make goal but I have stayed accountable and have logged daily, even in travel. So for that NSV I am very proud. Have a great week everyone! I will be weighing in again on the 31st for the final October numbers. P.S. My mammogram & appointments went very well. No breast cancer detected. I am still in remission.

Oct 31 -

October starting weight - 197
October goal - 192
Ultimate goal - 140lbs (hopefully even less but that's the goal for now)
Weigh in days - Tuesdays

October 2 - 197
October 12 - 193 (I missed my regular weigh in day because I've been sick...which probably helped with the loss so will see next week if it stays off but will definitely take it for now!)
October 16 - 194 (I'm okay with this, wish it would have gone down more but will get it back next week)
October 23 - 196 (seriously what the hell!!)
October 30 - 194.5

Total loss for October: 2.5

Not happy with October results, especially since September wasn't any better. The next two months are going to be a challenge with holidays and everything but I'm going to work on remaining focused.
