December Accountability - daily or weekly check in

@bonjourkc
Wow, so great for you to hit that 50 pound loss!
It took me 2 years minus 1 month to lose 50.
I am definitely feeling lighter, I imagine that you are also.
Congrats.

Hi, I'm back again, hoping to do better this month. I know for sure that regardless of if I meet my goal for the month or not, this challenge helps me, I have been a member of MFP since I turned 60, I am now 69. Until this challenge which I started in October, I haven't really participated or posted much, in fact I only put my actual picture here in Oct. after being a member for 9 years. Even though I still fall back on bad habits and thoughts of "I can't do this, It's too much effort, etc. etc." This forum seems to be sneaking into my doubts with little thoughts of "maybe I can do it, it's not that much effort, etc. etc." I'm still staying in the back ground a bit but I now have a record of the last 3 months and know that I'm further ahead than I would have been without it.

Hi. I am Dawn. 60, 5'2"
MFP Starting Weight: 191
November ending weight: 139.0

December goal: To get and stay firmly into the 130s.


Week 1
12/01 - 139.5 - Major calorie burn.
12/02 - 138.2 - Ice skated yesterday which burns a ton of calories.
12/03 - 137.0 - Calorie burn from 2 days ago caught up : - )
12/04 - 137.1 - Hoping to keep this up and get my body to a new set point.

12/07 - 139.9 - Hoping for a woosh, I have been on track

Week 2

12/09 - 138.5 - That's better. Working at it.
12/10 - 137.4 - Nice to see this number
12/11 - 136.9 - Sometimes I am "good" and lose nothing or even gain. I haven't been "bad" but surprised at this number. I will take it of course.
12/12 - 136.3 - Wow. This motivates me to keep working hard at weight loss.
12/13 - 138.1 - Had a cheat meal. Back on the horse.

@deepwoodslady, Thanks! It's a pretty great feeling. Just hoping I can continue through the next couple of weeks!

MFP Starting Weight: 251.3 lbs on Nov 22, 2020
December Starting Weight: 245 lbs
December goal: To be at or below 232 lbs

Week 1 - did really well this week, tracked all my food and got activity every day. Averaged 13k steps/day and purposefully walked 18.85 miles for exercise over this week.
12/1 - 245.0 lbs
12/2 - 243.8 lbs
12/3 - 243.6 lbs
12/4 - 242.4 lbs
12/5 - 242.0 lbs
12/6 - 241.0 lbs
12/7 - 241.4 lbs

Week 2
12/8 - 241.4 lbs - a little frustrated by my mini-plateau I've hit, but am keeping up with maintaining my desired calorie deficit, and will add drinking more water and getting some extra sleep tonight, as I've not been getting enough!
12/9 - 239.8 - woohoo! exited to have broken through my mini-plateau, and to be out of the 240s!
12/10 - 239.4 - didn't get specific exercise in yesterday, but did hit 13k steps.
12/11 - 239.4 - yesterday was on track. Guessing the new fiber supplement I started taking is causing some water retention.
12/12 - 239.2
12/13 - 239.9 - no reason for an increase, I've been on track with eating & exercising. Will drink extra water today...
12/14 - 238.9 - going back in the right direction

Week 3
12/15 - 238.1 - woohoo!
12/16 - 240.0 - I ate poorly yesterday, but I should've still had a small calorie deficit. I certainly didn't eat enough to gain 2 lbs!! I'm assuming this is all temporary and should drop off soon. Will up my water & eat light today.
12/17 - 237.8

Week 1
12/1 – 207.6 Not a good start!
12/2 - 206.8 That’s what I like to see!
12/3 – 206.2 Better!
12/4 – 203.6 I shed a lot of fluid last night. I’ll see my true weight when rehydrated.
12/5 – 203.8 Rehydrated and happy with the number I’m seeing.
12/6 – 203.4 Happy with the continued progress. Trying to watch the snacks!
12/7 – 202.6 Light meals, rationed the crackers in my soup and didn’t die without half a pack in there. It paid off.
Week 2
12/8 – 203.4 A bit up due to a very very late dinner. I should have eaten slower and had a little less (a little earlier) but the situation was a little out of my control. Today I will strive to do better as I will have a little more privacy at home today.
12/9 – 204.0 Donuts brought over by a friend. My trigger food!
12/10 -204.2 Gotta stop this runaway train!
12/11 – 204.2
12/12 – 204.2 Okay, let’s get rolling!
12/13 – 203.2 Worked hard at a lower calorie day with fewer carbs. I just wish I’d had a bit more movement.
12/14 – 203.4 I confess to the Christmas treats.
Week 3
12/15 – 205.0 Hanging out with friends is bad for me until I have more self-control!
12/16 – 205.0 I’m going to try to make a difference today in a bigger way. The math is simple. When I have a bad day, I’ve got to subtract with a good day.
12/17 – 205.2 I did not do the math.
