Well I cheated a little,but I'm still the same weight,so can't complain.2 -
Goals for november:
Tighten up my food calculations and eathe as clean as possible besides Thanksgiving LOL.
Get as close to my goal of hitting 299 as possible this month.
Complete (or at least stay on schedule if the program is longer then 4 weeks) of training on my bike.
Put back extra money for clothes and more riding trips next year. This kinda isn't a goal for this forum but since losing weight has indirectly been saving me money I might as well put it down there5 -

October Week 5 Weigh-In
Previous: 156.0
Current: 154.8
Being not sick is the best. One more week (and a half) before my doctor visit and I can work out again. Eager for my cardio.
This is the first time the weight loss has felt "healthy" since I've been sick. My willpower isn't too great right now but I've been alternating between maintenance and deficit calories and it seems to be working just fine. I'm definitely getting back in the groove.
November goals: strength training! If doctor approves. As that healthy BMI nears, I'm ready for toning up.
ALSO: I've heard of this happening to others but it's the first time it's happened to me--a co worker told me that I should stop losing weight. They meant it in a nice way. "You're disappearing," she said. "You definitely don't need to lose any more." And I think the rapid loss from my illness made her concerned...but still. I'm overweight. I have about 35 pounds I could lose before I actually could be considered "too" skinny.
It's just a little odd. I think the loss of even 5 pounds is starting to look far more noticeable at this lower weight.5 -
Exercise Yes. 35 minutes treadmill
Calories. Yes
Tracked. Yes
I'm not feeling very confident of Thursday's weigh in. I got knocked off my routine and mind set with my mother being in hospital and my time has been taken up with it all. Then it was my eldest son's engagement party last Saturday night and I endulged in too much food and drink. The scale was not very nice about it. I am realising at least some will be water weight. Then some photo's came up from the engagement party and I got depressed seeing myself in them. Any way onward and upward. Christmas is coming. Got to make November count!3 -
Good morning everyone. Home stretch. Make it count. .
This group was really talkative early on. Where everyone go? Maybe it's just me but seems we lost some people.3 -

Happy Halloween to all for tomorrow.2 -
Happy Tuesday, everyone!
Goodness, this month is almost over! What a doozy it's been for so many of us: work, personal illness, family illness - and even a party and weekend trip or two.
But this is life, right? And we're all working on losing weight and getting fit in order to get better at life.
What do you tell yourself to stay motivated when you're going through one of these difficult stretches?3 -

First thing I do is keep in mind how much better I feel and look. I remind myself what it took to get where I'm at and if I really want to lose it all just to start over again. Then I remind myself that if I do one thing and one thing only is to keep tracking my food. If I at least track my food I will have half a clue on what's going on with my body. I remind myself that I can indulge in great food if I track it. By tracking I can stay on track even with the good food.3 -
November goals:
1.I will recommit to tracking.
2.I will walk whenever I can.
3.Limit the intake of carbohydrates.
4.Drink more water
I read motivational quotes to stay motivated. Whenever I eat little at dinner,next morning I feel better and I continue choosing good things during the day.3 -

Well done for leading the charge @LeslckaBod.
Looking at the months results so far we have quite a number of consistent performers doing really well. Anyone with more than 2% over 4 weeks is doing a great job. This includes:
@bendiz_. @michellelagle. @Grebber1. @eevang. @WishfulThinning18. and @90kgtoNewMe.
Hope all have a great last week in October.3 -

I remind myself that I’ve become a whole different person. A much happier, satisfied, healthier person. I don’t avoid mirrors anymore, I actually catch myself checking how I look quite often. I don’t have that negative voice in my head telling me how worthless I am..
My overall health is much better and I am in complete control of my diabetes now (with a perfect hba1c).
I can wear whatever I want, my weight doesn’t define what I wear anymore. This is the best thing that has happened to me in many years. And also, I have a 100% clean conscience and that just feels really good. I don’t eat so much that I feel sick after.. I don’t have to be ashamed when I go to the store anymore (before I used to be super ashamed because I bought so much «*kitten*» food).
I just purely function better at being a human. I’m no longer ashamed of my body in front of my boyfriend because I can’t bare to look at it myself (after 6 years, was about time).. Clothes shopping is my new passion, who would have tought that 7 months ago?
Never going back to my dark pit with all the junk food and low self worth 😂5 -

I've been at this a full year now, so I worry less about falling off the wagon even when I falter.
As I've faced challenges in my personal and professional lives and with my health, my focus has been on keeping my head above the proverbial water. At times, I was too busy or sick to track. I lost my streak. BUT I kept logging in, trying to catch up, and reading the forum. I did my weekly weigh ins. I kept being involved and always told myself that i would be 100% back once I could be.
I just never quit. That was it. I didn't do a defeated binge eating spiral. I made maintenance my goal when doing more was too hard and always estimated calories in my head (which is way easier after logging for 6+ months). I stayed kind to myself. I'm human. Life has been hard lately. I didn't need to bring myself down, so I remained proud of just being involved and trying to maintain.
And it's worked. At first I lost because I was sick. But last week I was taking steroids for my throat and turned into a hunger monster who wanted to eat 24/7 and this week was pretty normal, and I'm still losing.
So just keep treading.4 -
