The month isn't over yet. Don't give in to "Almost." You can EASILY make this goal if you want. OK, maybe not EASILY, but I'm expecting to check back in four days and see a big smiley on your last post of the month. Then next month more of the same!

Haha oh no, I’m definitely not giving in. “Almost” was more for encouragement I guess. I’m here for a long run

I weigh-in on the first of the month and use that as my “actual” for the previous month. Want to give myself every possible day to reach my goal! You’ll get that last 0.4!

STARTING WEIGHT AND DATE WITH MFP (MY FITNESS PAL): 187 lbs Aug., 2019
CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT: 172.4 lbs (I weigh in every Fri ~ longtime habit ~ so I will be posting twice a week.)

Jan. 6: OK. Here we go...Fri Jan 3 ~ weighed in @ 171.2 ~ I'm really hoping that this time my "plateau" is finally OVER!! I just have 1or2 questions: Why, oh WHY do cough drops have to have calories?! 💔 And if I cough my head off for a week, does that count as exercise?? 😷😜😂 ...MON JAN 6 ~ 172.6 lbs. I must be holding water or something cuz even tho' I've been sick & not working out very much, I have been VERY CAREFUL about weighing everything I eat. At this point I am *this close* to giving up. 😥
I found this link via one of my email newsletters ~ good advice for yours truly here...

Jan. 13: Fri Jan 10 ~ 171.6 lbs ~ OK...I'm not gonna say any more. I don't wanna "jinx it." 😜 ...MON JAN 13 171.6 lbs ~ one comment: "thank God it's not a gain" ...that's all I was worried about; starting today, finally back to workouts!!
Jan. 20: Fri Jan 17 ~ 171.2 lbs ~ back to where I was, at least! not bad...not great...but not bad! I'll just pick it up from here, I guess! Mon Jan 20 ~ 171.2 lbs !!! 😂 no loss, no gain. no loss, no win. LOL ...not bad after 2 birthday parties AND...a get-together @ my bro's house!! I'm actually kinda proud of myself this morning! 😜
Jan. 27: Fri Jan 24 ~ 169.8 lbs! YESSSS!!!! 😂 ...MON Jan 27 ~ 169.8 lbs *again, same as FRI's update...but as long as I did NOT gain, I'm good with it. And...updating my measurements, I have LOST a total of 3.5" overall since November. I only wish I had measured myself when I first started back in August...but as my BMI has also gone DOWN a grand total of 2.9 since the beginning, I think I can safely say I'm gonna be just fine!! hehehe ........
JUST ONE LAST WEIGH-IN for Jan ~ Fri Jan 31 weighed in @ 168.8 lbs ~ I guess I'll say that I very nearly made my goal here, only .8 lbs above what I aimed for! (This may very well be the BEST I've done yet! 😉)

Actual Weight loss for the challenge:3.4

This weeks weight is not great. I have been dealing with sick kiddos for the past 2 weeks and know I have put myself on the backburner. It shows in the direction the scale is moving. Each day is a fresh start though, so here we go.

Original starting weight (March 2013) - 175.4
Original MFP starting weight (January 2018) - 168.2
December 21, 2019 starting weight - 144.2 (ten-day rolling average 144.6)
Ultimate goal - Maintain around 143 (range between 140 - 150)

I had achieved my goal last Winter and gone into maintenance. I hope y'all don't mind a maintainer in here as an interloper. When you get to your goal, you'll see that maintenance is still a challenge. I have mostly stayed within my goal range, but have bounced around a bit.

Happy winter!


Winter Begins:
Dec. 21: 144.2 (10-day average 144.6)
Dec. 28: 144.6 (10-day average 145.0)

JANUARY:
Dec. 31: 146.4 (10-day average 145.2)
Jan. 4: 144.8 (10-day average 145.3)
Jan. 11: 143.6 (10-day average 144.4)
Jan. 18: 139.8 (10-day average 143.5)
Jan. 25: 144.2 (10-day average 142.7)
Jan. 31: 144.8 (10-day average 144.6)

January Goal: 143
January Actual: By scale, depending which day you look at, I either gained an insignificant 0.2 poounds or lost almost a pound. By average weight, I'm down a little bit. I had a Bagel Disaster a week ago and had a weight spike that I'm finally getting over. Whew. I am optimistic I can stay at my long term goal of 143 with small fluctuations.


FEBRUARY:
Feb. 1: 143.4 (10-day average 144.5)

February Goal: Stay at my long term goal of 143 with small fluctuations.
February Actual: No report here; it's the first day of the month. But I'm down over a pound from yesterday, and down two pounds from the really bad day four days ago.

Challenge Weight loss goal: Range between 142-148
Actual Weight loss for the challenge: After the gains in October through November, I'm really happy to be back right at my maintenance weight.

CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT: 191.8

Jan. 6: 191.8 A nice small overnight drop. I need better choices & more water.
Jan. 13: 195.4 I am really fighting severe glucose drops & frenzied eating to bring it back up. Horrid! Until my blood sugar stabilizes, I can't begin to set each month's goal. I will get there....
Jan. 20: 189.7 Its been a week of blood glucose highs and lows. Slowly I am re-adjusting my body to my original meal plan & exercise goals. Each day finds me feeling a bit better and closer to better numbers all around. It’s nice to see this drop. It was done slowly, a little everyday for the most part.
Jan. 27: 190.0 I made goal right on target but with a severe struggle due to the glucose issues. I am still actively work hard on that and hope I can get it resolved soon.
Jan. 31: 191.6 I’m not ending this month very well. It will be a catchup game in February.
