Just give me one month - October

Starting weight 178
Start weight this month 140.9
Goal weight this month 138.5
Target goal weight 135

May gained: 1.1 pounds (149.3)
June lost: 3.4 pounds (145.9)
July lost: 2.2 pounds (143.7)
August lost: 0.1 pounds (143.6) maintained
September lost: 2.7 pds (140.9)

We can do this


29 Sept - 140.9
30 Sept - 145.9 (Monday not a real number)

1 Oct - 146.5 I have no clue. Maybe water, maybe my medication change. Who knows. Hopefully it will be back down soon.
2 Oct - 143.9 way better. Hopefully the other 3 pounds are gone in the next couple of days
3 Oct - 143.2 would have been lower, but ate pizza last night and a couple of wings.
4 Oct - 142.0 did really well yesterday and should stay on track for today
5 Oct - 141.5 ok with this. Hoping not to go up to much this weekend
6 Oct - 141.5 nice!
7 Oct - 143.2 one of my lowest Monday’s so far.
8 Oct - 144.9 not bad for a 3 day weekend. Movie yesterday and didn't eat any popcorn,but did some snacking after we got home.
9 Oct - 143.6
10 Oct - 142.9 Ate pizza last night and a large salad. Stayed under calories. Got a flu shot yesterday and sore
11 Oct - 141.4 I like to see that. Maybe I can hold on to that through the weekend.
12 Oct - 142.3 beer last night, but food was good. Fingers crossed for today
13 Oct - 143.6 This is the rest of Friday night showing up
14 Oct - 142.8 This is amazing for a Monday morning weigh-in.
15 Oct - 142.3 Some stomach issues, but was hoping for a lower weight this morning. Half way through the month and have made 0 progress
16 Oct - 140.9 Back down to my lowest last month. Hopefully I can hold onto it this time and see a new low!
17 Oct - 140.9
18 Oct - 141.5 uuugghhh
19 Oct - 141.5
20 Oct - 143.9 ate 3 restaurant meals yesterday on our scenic drive to see the leaves changing. Worth the sodium.
21 Oct - 144.6 uuugghh back to work. 10 days left of the month and have made zero progress!
22 Oct - 144.6 I worked out and am sore. 9 days left to make some kind of progress
23 Oct - 143.9 I don't see myself breaking into the decade this month. Pretty much a maintaining month so far.
24 Oct - 144.6
25 Oct - 143.9
26 Oct - 142.3 no alcohol on Friday has helped with this.
27 Oct - 139.7 did a 24 hour fast will go up tomorrow
28 Oct - 142.3 Why? I expected some uptick, but not this much. Did not even have a drink with football yesterday
29 Oct - 142.3 annoyed

31 Oct -

Starting weight: 79.9Kg (80 was THE line)
Current weight: 74 Kg
Goal weight: 60ish
October goal: 72Kg/159


Oct 1 - 74Kg/163
Oct 2 - 74Kg/163 weight taken later in day
Oct 3 - 74.3Kg/164 Late weigh again just had lunch 😒 school holidays are making things very hard 😣
Oct 4 - 73.1/161 early weigh empty stomach
Oct 5 -

Oct 6 - 74Kg not surprised. Had a day at the races eating and drinking, great day but wish there was zero Cal champagne 🙄

Oct 7 - 73.4/161.8 I’ve missed a day, can’t keep up 🤪
Oct 8 - 73/160.8
Oct 9 - 73.4/161.8 Very late. I am weighing at such random times. Calories are ok, excercise is going good
Oct 10 - 72.7/160.3 early weigh empty stomach
Oct 11 - 73.2/161 early weigh empty Stomach TOM 😐 3ks 22 min plus wk4day3 over calories 😔 have to ditch coffee
Oct 12 - 72.2/159.1 Early empty weigh 4ks 30minapprox HUNGRY calories ok
Oct 13 - 72.2/159.1
Oct 14 - 72.2/159.1 scared to hang about on same weight feel like it’s just going to go up suddenly. Will try harder to not eat the junk calories 😖
Oct 15 - 71.9/158.5 phew hopefully down tomorrow and not a trick. Calories good yesterday and 4K run
Oct 16 - 71.7/158 no excercise yesterday calories good
Oct 17 - 71.6 Calories good🤞 found out my ‘coffee’ recipe was all wrong so there’s an extra 100+Cals a day I was eating without realising 😖 hopefully sorting helps the no excercise lately and gives me more budget for real food!!
Oct 18 -71.4 still no excercise 😖
😀EDIT was down about this so just did 5km 40min (2inc@7.8)⭐️

Oct 19 - 71/156.5 ran 4ks plus sprints
Oct 20 - 70.8
Oct 21 - 70.4/155.2 no excercise yesterday
Oct 22 - 70.0/154.3
Oct 23 - 70.1/154.5 no excercise last two days, only short walks for the dog. Work is crazy! Has been all month I think that’s the reason for the big losses, nervous energy and stress but it’s just going on too long!
Oct 24 - 70/154.3 full day of expo... was hoping all the walking and talking I’d be out of 70 😃 oh well maybe today I’ll do more walking and make the hand shaking more enthusiastic 😂
Oct 25 - 70
Oct 26 - 69.6/153.4 Gala Ball tonight so I think this will be short lived. I don’t want to drink but I suspect I will be.
Oct 27 -
Oct 28 - 70.7 Too much drinking tried to eat my hangover away 🙄 I suspect it will be even more tomorrow
Oct 29 - 70/154.3 It would be nice to finish the month under 70... will wait and see
Oct 30 - 70 I think the round number is messing with me

Goal weight this month 285
Target goal weight 165lbs possibly less undecided yet!


Sept lost 14.9lbs

Setting a slightly less ambitious goal this month but loving these threads! Let's do this! Happy October all 😊

1 Oct - 297 Great start! 😊

2 Oct - 297.4 Not so great but I already know I didn't drink enough water yesterday so I know it'll go again!

3 October 296.3! Yay! Pleased with that and confirms that yesterday was a lack of drinking water!

4 October 295.9 still going in the right direction for now but I think that may change tomorrow!

6 October 294.4 didn't weigh yesterday, was up early to do a major road trip and not awake enough. Happy to see it's still going in the right direction though! 😁

7 October 294.6 To be expected after having dinner out yesterday and not drinking enough water. Still on track for the 285 by the end of the month I hope!

8 October 293.5 Delighted with this. Takes me out of the 21 stone bracket and pops me into the very top of the 20st bracket. Still too much but all going in the right direction 😁

9 October 293.8 well it couldn't carry on going down forever! Luckily didn't go up much so I'm happy with that. Onwards and downwards 😊

10 October 292.3 woohoo! I've done 10% lost now! Only another 148lbs to go! Fingers crossed for another 7.7lbs in the next 21 days!

11 October 292.2 well it's still down a bit 😂 waiting for the TOM increase right now! Corrected above to reflect my October goal as got it wrong yesterday! 🙄

12 October 291.4 woohoo going great guns! I think I might make my goal this month 😁

13 October 292 had to happen sooner or later and I suspect a Chinese meal yesterday didn't help. Onwards and downwards 😁

14 October 292.6. Not happy, in fact a bit down even though I know full well I haven't eaten enough to put that much on. It is the dreaded TOM! More gutted to be above my 10% again! Oh well, it'll go again. Today is the last day I'll be this fat.

15 October 292.3 I missed yesterday, struggling with depression at the moment. Nothing that'll stop the lifestyle change but hard to live through.

16 October 290.7. I should be delighted but still struggling with my mood. I can't seem to shake it. Back on the medication for a bit until normal service resumes.

17 October 289.8 Well that's better! Made me smile at least as I wasn't expecting another good loss so soon. Hoping my mood will lift soon too.

18 October 289.2 Still very pleased with this, though still struggling with my mood which I think it down to fat limitations and things I want to do but can't! Onwards and downward to be able to do everything I enjoy doing!

19 October 288.6 Yay! I'm definitely happy with losing half a pound a day at the moment although I know it can't last much longer. 3.6lbs and 12 days to make my October goal of 285. Everything crossed!

20 October 287.9 Woohoo! 2.9lbs to October goal! Everything crossed 😊

21 October 287.5 just a little drop today but I'll happily take it! 2.5lbs to October goal. Exciting! 😁

22 October 288.1 bah! Had to happen but doesn't mean I'm happy about it! More exercise needed!

23 October 287.5 whew! Hoping it keeps going down now!

24 October 287.7 bah! Grumpy about this! A week to hit October goal and I'm see-sawing over half a pound. Humph.

25 October 287.2 Finally heading the right way again, and desperately hoping it stays that way. I want to make my October goal and I've only got 6 days to do it!

26 October 285.6 Woohoo! If I can just keep that I'll be happy! Close to goal and praying I don't go up again! Drinking soooooo much water today!

27 October 284.7 Too busy yesterday to post this but was thrilled with this one. Under goal but probably going to seesaw back up as I didn't drink enough due to being in the car all day!

28 October 285.8 Yup! Back up I go! Praying that I go back down before Thursday but I have another long road trip tomorrow and am away from home for the night which means eating out for two days. I will control it though and drink as much as I can! Everything crossed for below goal again by Thursday!

30 October 284.2, thank goodness for that. No weigh in yesterday as did a major road trip and overslept so was running really late. Hoping I stay under until tomorrow so I can say I definitely made goal for this month! Tough as it's been!


31 October 284.9 well I’m up on yesterday but just made goal for this month! Yay! 😃😃😃
