Oct 01:
194.2 After travel weigh-in. Ugg. Feeling motivated today. I would like to securely hit the 180s in October!
Oct 08:
188.2 I’m feeling really great about hitting the 180’s. However, I’ve shown fluctuations this week due to travel, and more travel expected this week. That means lots of sitting & restaurant food. Trying to keep my mindset on my overall plan!
Oct 15:
189.9 The effects of the travel. It never looks good on me!
Oct 22:
192.8 Emergency travel yesterday for a family matter. Over on carbs & calories but this is ridiculous! I will be working this back down today with water & careful meal planning and a nice long walk inside the school (rain today).
Oct 29:
188.0 Much better than last week and back on track! I will be traveling tomorrow (8 hour round trip of driving) so I will make my last weigh in tomorrow morning before I leave. I am sure that the scale will be up on the 31st from all the car sitting & restaurant food. I don’t want to end the month with temporary water retention from the sodium found in most restaurant meals showing on the scale. That would signal a false ending weight this round, and more importantly (since I've done well this round) it would start me too high next round with a false high which would end on a bigger loss than what is true for November, so I'm keeping it real. I'll reweigh on November 1st which gives me 24 hours after travel to release fluid retention & travel bloat.
Anyway, I am below goal this morning so I am a very happy camper!

Really wanting to get to my goal and maintain between 135-138 by Thanksgiving. I am losing so slow these days though and it may take me till Christmas. My weigh in days will be Wednesday and hopefully I can finish the month at least 2 pounds down (which will be at the top of my maintenance weight). Not aiming for huge losses these days, just trying to make life changes that I will be able to sustain in the long run.
October Start Weight: 140.9 = 9/30 weigh in
October Goal Weight: 138.5 = this will put me at a 40 lb loss
Ultimate Goal Weight: 135
Oct 1: 146.5 Monday weigh in so doesn't really count. I also started a new medication on Saturday and am retaining a ton of water. I was just at 140.9 on Friday and Saturday.
Oct 2: 143.9 already getting back to normal. Hate water retention
Oct 9: 143.6 lower, but was really hoping for more. This is after a 3 day weekend and a bit of a fall. So I will take it.
Oct 16: 140.9 back down to my end weight last month. Now hoping for some progress in the next 2 weeks
Oct 23: 143.9 sore so I think this is water retention
Oct 30: 140.7 I have lost an entire 2/10 of a pound in the month of October. Not my greatest, lol.3 -
October Start Weight: 100.2 kg
October Goal Weight: 97 kg
Ultimate Goal Weight: 70 kg
Oct 1: 100.2
Oct 6: 100.5 Having some digestion issues and didn't exercise as much as I usually do.
Surgery- recovering then got flu.
Oct 23: 99.9 Still have flu and not exercising but not hungry either.
Oct 31: 100.1 Haven't been dieting this last week just concentrated on getting better. Will go back on diet Monday 4/11. Too much to do this weekend.
Only lost 100g for the month - at least I didn't gain

Oct 29: 124.6 – Up a little, but I haven’t been as strict with what I have eaten the last few days. Still within maintenance range.
Oct 31: 124.2 – 1 lb loss for the month. I have spent most of the month within my maintenance range, so I am happy about that.

Oct 15: 142.4 well, no excuses...I did have my wedding anniversary, but we ate lobster, red snapper and garlic shrimp. Then well, last night was thanksgiving. So, I'm not excusing or explaining...well I guess I'm explaining, but this is silly. There will always be celebrations in life, those little ups and downs will not make the difference over time....but my habits will make the difference, not the celebrations. The day in day out habits, the routines. I have wine every day, probably 2 to 3 glasses, so there it is. I eat very healthy, otherwise. I do not eat processed foods. I live in a small fishing village in Nicaragua so there are no fast food places. Not that I would go there. Anyways I am digressing. I eat a what I think is a well balanced diet with about 1200 cal per day. Carbs are not low, but reasonable less than 120, less than 100 most days. I eat loads of vegies, and I love meat:) I work out every day, 30 min stretch, 30-40 min yoga (beginner yoga) and then about 20-50 min pilates. Then I go clean my pool, and while I'm cleaning the sides of the pool, I do my squats..it's kinda funny to watch. Then I eat (either sauteed cabbage with left over vegies and meat; or my homemade soup, or cottage cheese and tomato, or eggs with vegies. Then I do my spanish, wander the 1/2 accre garden, read my book on the hammock. When I get too hot I jump into the pool and goof around for half hour (with a vodka and ensa), then it's time come up and watch the sunset with a glass of wine of course. Then make dinner...high protein, low carb. I dont add salt to anything, rarely buy canned vegies or frozen, I cook with what's fresh....I've lost about 12 lbs since June, but seem to be stuck now...maybe my body is just happy where it is. Or do I need to get real and shake it up...I suspect the obvious answer....ummm
Oct 22: 139.2 Well, I took 2 days away from documenting everything and I think I needed to do that. I'm ready to recommit to this challenge.
Oct 29: 140.4
Oct 31: 140.4...exactly where i started this month5 -
Original start weight: 271.9 (May 23, 2019)
October Start Weight: 248
October Goal Weight: below 240 (so, anywhere in the 239s)
Ultimate Goal Weight: 165
Oct 1: 248.0
Oct 8: 247.6 traveled to a different state for a wedding (at a winery) over the weekend and have been celebrating my birthday and our anniversary with my husband. Think this is a false high due to banquet food and wine.
Oct 15: 244.4. Down 3.2 from last week, 3.6 somfar this minth, and 27.5 from official start. This weight is up a little after pizza night last night. And don’t worry about the 3lbs drop in one week, last week was a false high due to water weight, this weigh-in is right on the line for HappyScale. Still a little ways to go to be out of the 240s by the end of the month, definitely need to go out walking again...but when? After work is tough.
Oct 27: 241.8 for a total loss of 30lbs and a challenge loss of 6.2. Back up today due to tailgating yesterday and 3 days of late night dinners screwing up my digestive patterns. But I survived back to back 13 hour days for conferences and have Thursday off and a 6 day “no students” weekend. The team has a bye this next weekend, so I will actually get to spend Saturday with my husband instead of standing in a parking lot in the cold. Looking forward to that!
Oct 31: 242.6 Went out for Mexican last night, complete with margaritas, queso, guacamole, and chips. 10/10, will do again. 5.4 lost in October.4 -

Oct 23: 143.9 sore so I think this is water retention
Oct 30: 140.7 I have lost an entire 2/10 of a pound in the month of October. Not my greatest, lol.
Oct 31: 140.7 So I am finishing the month pretty much where I started. My moving average is down 2.2 pounds in the last 31 days, so there's a win and I am smack in the middle of a healthy BMI. The last couple of pounds may take me a long time to lose, but I will just keep working at them. I only have 2 pounds to lose to be at the top of my maintenance and 5 to be on the low end of it. Good job everyone!2 -
