I’ve had a lot of false starts between now and the last time I participated in this group. A LOT going on. But I got back on track last week and am ready to participate this round.

I have been inching slowly over 130 for some time - 135 is my limit. I let it go too far up this time, so ready to take it down the scale again & work on staying there.4 -
Count me in. I managed to get a case of the “*kitten*-it’s” and gained 6 pounds in the last 2 months. I can’t go back to the 160’s!!! ☹️

October is a challenging month for me.
1st my daughters situation. It's likely she's coming out of hospital this week. Lots of follow up visits and have to decide on school situation.
Then my SO will be out of town for 2 weeks. I'm hoping nothing major is going to happen while he's away. (he always helps out, my main support!!)
I wanna stay active to keep sane and healthy.
So here we go October!!
46, 5'2"
SW: 109
OCT GW: 107, BF: 20%
GW: 105 BF: 20%
Goal #1: Keep up with 4X a week of OTF
Goal #2: Meal prep more ( breakfast prep and 1 batch of soup, side prep) Utilize Crockpot!
Goal #3: Start photo records of self... This is uncomfortable but to SEE the CHANGE, it's a must (will continue this. I only did twice last month)

Overall SW: 76.1 kg / 167.8 lbs (26/Aug/19)
Overall GW: 56.5 kg / 124.5 lbs
Oct GW: 71.5 kg / 157.6 lbs
Goal #1: 3 out of 7 days per week no extra treats like chocolate, cookies, or so.
Goal #2: No alcohol during the week, only weekends.
Goal #3: Running group stopped, keep it going on my own at least 2x per week.
01/Oct/19 – 73.6 kg
Theme of the month: After warm up in September, be serious about making lasting change happen. Go back to achievable baby steps.5 -
OSW: 78
SW: 70.8
GW: 70
Goal #1: maintain between 68 and 70.
Goal #2: restart the pushup challenge, this time with real pushups
Goal #3: keep on logging everything
So, I'm back from my superlong holiday, which kept me away from the scales (which was scary in itself), but I weigh exactly the same as when I left. Lots of parties and diners, but also a lot of diving, so that was a good exercise in maintaining already

Height: 5'9"
Weight: 66kg (145,51lbs)
BMI: 21,3
Goals:
1) Again maintain this weight for another month. I don't feel comfortable yet to start trying to lose more weight
2) Be more consistent with the workouts (especially core)
3) Be more consistent with kcal budget: right now I do a lot of days heavily over and then compensate the next day(s) - I want this to be more level headed
4) Continue running on HR and hope to see improvement...

My 50th birthday mystery destination has been revealed - we are going to Thailand, all beaches, all bathing suits.. Sept was not great in terms of weight loss but some progress was made.
Again I want to thank everyone for participating because I can see such similar struggles across the board. Every pound is hard earned in this last 10 lb range!

Goals for September and August have pretty much become routine so I'm keeping them as habits and setting some new ones!
My goals for October:
Goal 1: Go out Dancing (I LOVE dancing and haven't been out in months!)
Goal 2: Try some more advanced classes to up my exercise routine
Goal 3: I have a work conference 10/9-10/14 and I will be flying/staying out of town in a hotel for 5 nights - my goal is to have meals planned that don't require cooking and I can pick up at the grocery store while there (taking suggestions!!)

September ended quite well within my weight target, but I have been going over my calorie targets pretty consistently over the past few weeks between 100-300 cals over most days.... gotta start watching that and pulling back there I think. I have been more hungry though and the overage isn't too out of line. Will just have to see if it has an ongoing effect and adjust if needed4 -

Wow! It’s only the 4th of October and we’re on page two already!
A bit late checking in as work is just too busy. Had my first PT session in about 10 weeks yesterday. I’m not aching much today but suspect I will be tomorrow! It was good to be pushed a but again. I’m not walking as much as I’d like because the weather is just so awful; lots of rain and we’ve had some really cold days too.
Weigh in this week was a bit high, but I am due on and have had some bloating this week, so am thinking that’s the problem as I haven’t been particularly bad food wise. We'll see next week I suppose!

Slowly edging closer to my overall goal. My October goal is 129. Here are 3 things I am doing:
1) Being more mindful of eating & doing, & just life in general.
2) Saying no more instead of taking on more than I can handle & spiraling into some emotional eating.
3) Celebrating each small gain (in this case loss).6 -

I’m back into my running program. I don’t really like running, but I love all the benefits of completing the program. I like the calories it burns in such a short amount of time, I love how my thighs slim down into lean muscle, and I really like the endurance and energy that it builds up to. That energy always improves the emotional quality of my life as well as the physical. I’m only finishing up week 3, so I can’t really feel or see the effects yet, but I’m looking forward to them!6
