Goal #1: Less snacking (eat mindfully!)
Goal #2: Workout 3 days a week (gym, long doggie walks, etc.)
Goal #3: Thanksgiving - eat what I WANT to eat, rather than every available thing. Stop when full.
11/1-11/6: Jumping back in after a vacation. Weighed at 190 a few days ago (shocker - didn't gain on my vacation, AND lost a lb within a week of returning!). I'm taking a break from logging all my food. It gave me a great starting point, but it made me focus too much on daily counts (food in minus exercise out) and less on my true goals - simply be more active and eat more mindfully. I want my changes to be sustainable, and how I was eating and exercising when logging was not sustainable! If I see my progress stalled, I'll log again and see where I can make further changes.
11/7: 189!
11/8: no weight yet. Trying to find determination to get to the gym, since motivation has left the house.4 -

GW: 59kg / 130 lbs
CW: 65.3 kg / 144 lbs
I am late to the party for November - and it has not been a good month on the scale!
Nov 1 - 65.5kg / 144.4 lbs
Nov 7 - 65.5 kg / 144.4 lbs
I really thought I was making good progress, down as low as 140 in early October - then I started a new HIIT coaching plan on my indoor bike and my weight went WAY UP! I went from 140 to 146 in 10 days!
I know that it is mathematically and physically impossible that I ate an extra 2100 kcal per day (especially with all of the cycling I did) but it is still so hard to see on the scale.
I realize that hard HIIT does cause some gain due to muscle repair, variable hydration etc. and I am going through perimenopause (cycle everywhere from 20 day to 80+ days this year) so I am sure hormones have a lot to do with this too.
My Mom also reminded me to get my thyroid levels checked as she did develop hypothyroidism at about this time in her life and now takes supplemental Levothyroxin daily, so this may be contributing too, I will look into this when I get a chance. (Has anyone experience this and did it make a difference when you got diagnosed / medicated?)
But geeeezzzeeee!!! I had such high hopes of at least being 10 lbs down for my birthday and I figured it would be a snap since I had 3 months to work with. Now down to 3 weeks and I weigh virtually the same!
BUT I do actually think I am looking a bit more toned (I have always had monster muscle thighs and the cycling really brings this out) and my waist is down an inch since I started so I know I am on the right track.
Patience. I know. Patience.

I’m really grateful for the boards on MFP. I’m so relieved to understand that the intense hunger from the past couple of days is due to ovulation and will pass.
I saw 125.4 on the scale this week. It was bittersweet. A year and a half ago, 125 was my goal, but when I made it, I was much more fit than this time around 😕. I’m much busier this time around -and slightly less motivated to exercise as diligently. I didn’t get any of my runs done this week, but I did progress on weights at the gym, so I’ll count that as a win.4 -

SW: 215 (April 2019)
CW: 194 - down 4lb since October and loving being in ONEderland!
November Goal: Stay consistent and patient.
I got 3-month follow up testing (since the end of August), and the results have made me so proud!
- 9lb loss in fat mass
- 2lb gain in lean muscle mass
- resting heart rate of 53! (my heart is working efficiently! 💕)
- 8in lost overall in waist, hips, arms, and legs
Even with the progress, I am nervous about November. I work a seasonal job that requires a lot of physical and emotional labor, so the next two months are always stressful and busy for me. It takes it's toll on my energy levels and sleep schedule and I am worried about how it will affect the progress I've made so far. Anyone else work a job like this? Maybe we can start our own support group.
That being said, my goals this month are with self care and compassion in mind.
Goal #1: Be prepared - keep up the meal planning and make sure macros/nutrients are as balanced as possible. Do your best!
Goal #2: Stretch every day - either on break at work or when you get home each day. Slow down and take deep breaths.
Goal #3: Maintain weight at 194
Goal #4: 30 more days of sobriety for a total of 29 weeks!6 -
HI Everyone
I'm new here (in the group, not MFP) and was encouraged to join this group
SW (Feb? 2009) 101KG / 222 lbs
CW (Nov 6) 76.8 KG / 169 lbs
GW used to be 70KG / 154 lbs, I'd settle with 72 or 73 (158 - 160 lbs)
As I've been at this for a reallllly long time and I'm 51 and in the middle of menopause I don't necessarily need to be at 70KG. This is a preference for running, to be honest.
I have a couple of goals this month
1) log in every day, bonus if I've filled in my food diary
2) remove electronics from my sleeping area for better sleep
3) lose 1KG this month
I'm in the Netherlands and have a tough time with all of this as I don't really have anyone on my time zone as an accountabilty partner. So it's great to join here (and hopefully there are others in the same boat as me?).5 -
oh I should mention - so far so good on goals 1 and 2.5

I won't be able to check my BF% during the trip. I plan on walking a lot and eating more! Hopefully it's not going to throw me off completely but even if it happens, it's gonna be OK. I'm going to enjoy it without feeling guiltily. Once I'm home, I have OTF booked the next day and beyond. My son and I are running the 5mile turkey trot on Thanksgiving too. (my first run after I turn 47 on the 23rd) Lot's to look forward to.

11/1 - 143.8 - LOL - I'm still ok with this. The 142 was a new low for me so hopefully it's a good start to the month. IF - I did put together a chicken/chili crockpot dish this morning - we'll see how it goes
11/4 - 146.8 - bit surprised at this. I worked outdoors all day Sat and busted my butt... One of those days you just fall into bed exhausted. Sunday I did take it a bit easier. Back to logging everything today. Got in a good walk at lunch - my should is still not 100%... trying to do decent on food and just maintain. Went over about 300 cals today - when your 96 yo Gram wants you to take her to dinner, you take her to dinner and have nachos & irish beer with her.
11/5 - 146.2 - Snuck in a great walk at lunch today and managed not to go over too badly. Kid's basketball game right after work made much more impossible. Still stuck to IF.
11/6 - 145.8 - rainy day made my lunch walk impossible....but insanely busy evening doctoring a colt & all the horse stuff alone so 2 hours of just stuff outdoors. IF - and stayed under on cals, but terrible nutritionally. Nachos & beer for dinner.
11/7 - 144.4 - IF, got in a good walk at lunch... Rode my colt for an hour & cleaned 6 stalls- love days like this! Made fajitas for dinner & managed not to go too crazy. I think once my body adjusts, IF will help me store up calories for the evenings.
11/8 - 145.6 - Good walk at lunch and worked at the barn for a couple of hours in the evening. I have no idea how many calories it burns - but cleaning stalls is WORK.
11/11 - 144.4 - HOW do ya'll get ANYTHING done with kid's sports? BF's 10 yo son had a basketball tournament on Sat- played 4 games, BF competed in a small local team roping (at least I got to ride my colt for a couple of hours) and back to sit on my butt for another basketball game. Cleaned 11 stalls so that's something. Sunday I worked outdoors all afternoon - felt like I scurried all over the place and still way behind.5 -

I have set my own November challenge, which is simply to go to the gym everyday in November and do cardio/weights. So far I am on target! 😁
I am on around 1300-1400kcals at the moment. I stick to this religiously Monday-Friday and on the weekend I relax a little (but not a crazy amount!)
Seems to be working so far! Good luck everyone 💕

Nov SW 70.3
Goal: maintain between 69 and 70
1. Keep on logging every day
2. Restart push-up challenge
3. 10.000 steps a day + 2 long walks & 2 dives a week
I’ve been way over my cals these last days so I’m surprised that I get away with 70.3 this morning. So, time to reign in again to get under the 70. Maintaining is not easy!
Ok, last week was a bit special: a few days feeling off and that was a good excuse to turn into a couch potato; then a trip for work that took me almost a full 20 hours: a few days of personal time off and then some sugary foods that literary got shoved into our house (2 cookie sales for charities). Needless to say that it wasn't a good week foodwise.
However, I kept on logging and was actually surprised that I was relatively on goal. Even when I eat whatever I want, I rarely go over 2.000/day.
That being said, I still need to get back on track and the good news is that hubby seems to have found his mojo; so for him today is day 1 of eating better and moving more. I sincerely hope he'll hang on this time, as this will also help me.
As for my goals:
1. I keep on logging every day - yay me!
2. I did the test, but then I failed miserably again
3. 2 long walks and 2 dives; 80.700 steps thanks to the beautiful fall hikes
Current weight: 70.72 -

I'm going to add in one thing to force myself to measure at the end of the month......
Bust: 38 - Aug (-1")
Band: 33 - Aug (-1")
Waist: 28.5 - Aug (-.5")
Hips 38.5- No change in Aug
No change in measurements in Sept - At least I was consistent with weight/measurements! LOL!
Goal #1: Workout 5 days a week - Yoga Burn/Bike/Walk - stay consistent with Push Up Challenge
Goal #2: Build Upper Body Strength - 90 Second Planks - Forearm & Extended Do 25 real push ups in a rep
Goal #3: Drop .5" off waist
Goal #4: Stay under on intake min of 5 days a week
Goal #5: Do some decent crockpot meals
10/31 - 142.6 - IF, bit over on calories...insanely busy day - no workout but decent amount of walking
11/1 - 143.8 - LOL - I'm still ok with this. The 142 was a new low for me so hopefully it's a good start to the month. IF - I did put together a chicken/chili crockpot dish this morning - we'll see how it goes
11/4 - 146.8 - bit surprised at this. I worked outdoors all day Sat and busted my butt... One of those days you just fall into bed exhausted. Sunday I did take it a bit easier. Back to logging everything today. Got in a good walk at lunch - my should is still not 100%... trying to do decent on food and just maintain. Went over about 300 cals today - when your 96 yo Gram wants you to take her to dinner, you take her to dinner and have nachos & irish beer with her.
11/5 - 146.2 - Snuck in a great walk at lunch today and managed not to go over too badly. Kid's basketball game right after work made much more impossible. Still stuck to IF.
11/6 - 145.8 - rainy day made my lunch walk impossible....but insanely busy evening doctoring a colt & all the horse stuff alone so 2 hours of just stuff outdoors. IF - and stayed under on cals, but terrible nutritionally. Nachos & beer for dinner.
11/7 - 144.4 - IF, got in a good walk at lunch... Rode my colt for an hour & cleaned 6 stalls- love days like this! Made fajitas for dinner & managed not to go too crazy. I think once my body adjusts, IF will help me store up calories for the evenings.
11/8 - 145.6 - Good walk at lunch and worked at the barn for a couple of hours in the evening. I have no idea how many calories it burns - but cleaning stalls is WORK.
11/11 - 144.4 - HOW do ya'll get ANYTHING done with kid's sports? BF's 10 yo son had a basketball tournament on Sat- played 4 games, BF competed in a small local team roping (at least I got to ride my colt for a couple of hours) and back to sit on my butt for another basketball game. Cleaned 11 stalls so that's something. Sunday I worked outdoors all afternoon - felt like I scurried all over the place and still way behind. Got in a good walk at lunch and back to working on the pushup challenge - my shoulder is finally recovered enough. So discouraging how much ground I've lost in the last 3 weeks - DAMMIT! 10,12,10,10,8
11/12 - 144.6 Stayed under on cals yesterday. No workout - errands at lunch & dinner right after work with my Gram. So sore from starting back on push up challenge...OUCH! Did manage to stay on track with cals today.

SW 162
Nov GW 159
Overall GW 150
Nov 1 162.0
Nov 2 161.4
Nov 4 163.8 weekends kill me
Nov 5 162.2
Nov 7 160.2 - off for the next 4 days. Hoping I can keep eating (and drinking!) mindfully. I'd like the downward trend to continue
Nov 10 161.0- days off are tough to stay under calories. Especially with the drinking!
Nov 12 159.4 - I made it through the weekend without gaining! Anyone else IF? I've been doing it about 6 months and have noticed that it helps with my eating, even more than counting calories. If I track all my food all the time, I tend to start obsessing and with IF I just eat 2 healthy meals and don't worry about it.
