Just give me one month - November

MFP Start weight: 160 lbs
Started “just give 1 month” threads in Mid-Oct. @ 157.4 lbs
November start weight: 158.6 lbs
November goal: 157 lbs
Ultimate goal: 98 lbs, but that maybe too low. Main goal is to be healthier.

October +2.6 lbs. (160)

Nov 1 158.6
Nov 2 157 let’s see if I can maintain this.
Nov 3 157 Yay! Will try to maintain & if I lose any more this month, I will be thrilled!!! This is my goal weight for November. I know it doesn't seem like much, but I gained last month & I don't want to do that, again...
Nov 4 157 Yay!
Nov 5 157 Hoping this will stick!
Nov 6 157.4 Well it didn’t. I was pretty darn good, too!
Nov 7 158.2 Ghah!!
Nov 8 159.2
Nov 9 159.8 Not going well at all! Okay, I just planned meals for 1 week. I must stick with the plan! Goal for water is at least 32 oz. per day. Some days this past week, I barely drank 8 oz. Will start adding in some basic exercises. Back exercises which includes crunches & planks, and adding in some push-ups (maybe just wall push-ups). These are my goals for this week. Increase water. Add those basic exercises, and stick with my meal plans (now that I finally made them).
Nov 10 157.6 Whew! I did increase water, yesterday. I tad over 32 oz. And, although had challenge of eating at friend's house for lunch (couldn't get out of it...) and homemade ice cream pie, and she being a fabulous cook. My first day to really focus in a while was a success. Feeling hungry now, so better get to my plan and eat lunch...
Nov 11 156.2 Not getting my hopes up for this number. Not until it sticks... I did have a good day, yesterday, as far as sticking with diet plan. it was tough when Daughter N Law called wanting us to have dinner with them as they were going to be out our way. Any moment to be with them is cherished as both her and my son are so sweet and wonderful. It truly brightens our day whenever we're with them. So, I stuck with my plan and only had chicken from the place, I weighed my portion since they got it to go and brought it to our house, and supplemented with the rest of original dinner plan. (Have some left over chicken for tonight's meal).
Nov 12 156.2 Yay! Yesterday, was rough as I had cravings, but I did not succumb...
Nov 13 156.2 Uh oh... I kinda blew it, today. Not as badly as in the past, but added 2 things that put me way over in calories, today... Why was I so weak, today?!
Nov 14 156.2
Nov. 15 157.2
Nov. 16 156.6 Been challenged, lately, with meals out. ... always something & I need to learn how to stick with my plan or substitute appropriate substitutions. Last night, my son & his wife had us over for dinner. I goofed by having a 2nd helping of potatoes & by having 2 bags of 3/4 cup cereal in my car while driving. I will still be happy if I only lose one pound this month. I must stop gaining and be on the right track...
Nov. 17 156.6 Did a little exercise this morning for the first time since mid-May!
Nov 18 156 lbs Sore from that little bit of exercise. Plan to do it, again, tomorrow.
Nov 19 156 lbs Dang! I had planned to do the same exercise this evening before my late dinner, but got held up longer than planned at my parent's Assisted Living Memory Care facility. grr. Am nervous about blood tests that I'm having in the morning. I sure hope that I don't have to start on cholesterol med and/or diabetes meds. I have been pre-diabetic for a while & borderline on the cholesterol...

Starting weight 325lbs 22nd August 2019
Start weight this month 284.7
Goal weight this month 273

3 November 285.1 Still not drinking enough water but not giving up yet!

4 November 283.8 Yes! A loss at last! I'm almost at the lowest I've been on MFP! 10.8lbs to this month's goal! Eeek!

5 November 283.6 New low! Yes!

6 November 283.8 shortlived new low but I REALLY need to up my water intake! I'm slacking and I know it. Humph!

7 November 283.4 finally going in the right direction with a new (this time around) low!

8 November 282.9 woohoo another new low, and closer to my November goal, though I'm thinking it may not be achieved this month! Happy with today's loss though 😊

9 November 281.8 Woohoooo!

10 November 281.3 Double wooooohooooo! 😁😁😁😁 Big Grin!

11 November 281.8, well that didn't last long!

12 November 281.4 I will get back below 281.3!!!!

14 November 279.3 Woohooo! Soooo pleased with this! Closer to this month's goal!

15 November 278.2 Yes! I might actually make goal for November! Excited 😁😁😁

16 November 277.8 cannot believe I got another loss today! Over the moon with this week's loss! 4.8lbs to November goal! Everything crossed! 😊

17 November 278.2! Back to seesawing half a pound again I think! Must try harder! 😂

18 November 276.9 So delighted with this! 3.9 to November goal. Eeeekkkk! 😂

19 November 277.8 Humph! Short lived delight! I know it's a lack of water but difficult to drink lots when driving all day for work

20 November 277.6 So a little way in the right direction, but not enough. Still miffed but keeping on keeping on! More water today regardless of driving a lot!

Stephanie, 49, 1,67m, from Brussels, I started this summer at 172lbs

I'm late starting this month but I'd really need some extra motivation coming up to the new year festivities and holidays! I hope you don't mind I've filled in my previous weights as I've been tracking daily since the summer. I loose very slowly due to medication slowing my metabolism so I find it sometimes hard to stay motivated

Current weight: 135.4
Goal weight this month: 130
Target goal weight: 125


01 Nov -? On a trip
02 Nov -?
03 Nov -?
04 Nov -138.6 (a lot of salt and 10 hours of driving, so this is not an accurate weight)
05 Nov -135.4
06 Nov -135.6
07 Nov -136.6. I need to drink more water and stop eating over my calories!!
08 Nov -134.4. Hopefully this trend continues. I still feel so bloated and puffy 😔
09 Nov -135.2. I bought a treadmill today so I can get back to running. It’s been 2 weeks without any running (too cold and dark at 6 am), so I’m excited to get back into my groove.
10 Nov -135.6
11 Nov -134.0
12 Nov -133.6 finally moving in the right direction.
13 Nov -133.0
14 Nov -133.2
15 Nov -132.2. Only 2.2 pounds from my goal this month, but these last few pounds have been giving me trouble for awhile now. I need to keep being precise with my calories, which is hard, especially on the weekends. Keep up the good fight, everyone.
16 Nov -no scale ?
17 Nov -133.4 birthday celebration. No regrets, just moving forward.
18 Nov -135.5. What the heck?! I’ve had a couple of really hard workouts this weekend and my body is sore, so maybe (hopefully) this is water weight. Ugh.
19 Nov -135.6 but my muscles feel tighter and stronger. Still trying to drop some weight this month.

Starting weight 2019 181.1
Start weight this month 172.7
Goal weight this month 169
Target goal weight 154

August -2.2lb
September +1.3lb
October -1.3lb

01 Nov: 172.7 took my monthly measurements and lost a little from my belly in October, it all counts
02 Nov: weekend
03 Nov: weekend
04 Nov: 171.2
05 Nov: 171.2 okay I think this is a real number, onwards
06 Nov: 170.9 I really really wanna see 169 soon!
07 Nov: 172.4 oof maybe not that soon
08 Nov: 170.5
09 Nov: weekend
10 Nov: weekend
11 Nov: 171.4
12 Nov: 170.9 to make a real difference I need to break the cycle of spiking up on weekends, it's two steps forward, one step back. This will be my focus between now and Thanksgiving (that's only two weekends anyway)
13 Nov: 170.5
14 Nov: 170.9🎢
15 Nov: 170.1, that’s 40% of the way to goal 😊
16 Nov: 173.8 Gah! Ramen and beer late last night!
17 Nov: didn't weigh
18 Nov: 172.4 take me back to Friday's weigh in please 😢
19 Nov: 171.6 and a yoga class this morning has me feeling more settled
20 Nov: 171.1 I still think it is *possible* to see my goal of 169 this month though the scales have been up and down like crazy. My last weigh-in will be next Wednesday before travel for Thanksgiving.

How are we all doing? Are you going to get to goal this month.? I have 2 pounds more to go this month. But weight loss now is very slow.

I think I also was a bit ambitious when setting my goal for the month 😂. I’ll be happy if I get to 102kg though as that will be 4kg lost for the month, so not reaching 101kg won’t be too bad.
