Weigh less than a month ago challenge

I am SUPPOSED TO BE in maintenance with a goal weight of 143 pounds and an allowable goal range of 140-150 pounds and an IDEAL goal range of 142 - 148. I fluctuate wildly day-to-day, and try to stay fairly steady month-to-month. I often succeed, and sometimes I am not exactly where I want to be. I will update here once per week and report my ten-day average weight.

September 30, 2020: Ten-day average 144.1 - I was in the middle of my goal ranges, bout my IDEAL range and my absolute goal range. This was before what I call "The Big Oops" that started in October.


June 30: Ten-day average 155.6 - About a pound heavier than today.


July 31: Ten-day average 154.8 - About a half pound heavier than today.


August 31: Ten-day average 153.8 - About a half pound less than today.


September 30: Ten-day average 154.3 - About a dozen pounds over my old goal, about six pounds over the top my IDEAL goal range and about four pounds over the top of my absolute goal range. So technically not maintaining. And "technically" changing my goal for a while because I'm still at a healthy weight even though it's more than I want to weigh, and taking a break might help me mentally.


I weigh more than a month ago, and I weigh less than two months ago and three months ago. I am heavier than a year ago, and I have been "maintaining" about the same weight since January with some ups and downs.

My name is Donna. I am 61. I am about 5’5” tall. I live in the Midwest USA.
Highest Weight: 253


Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

July 1st 2021 - 197.6
August 1st 2021 – 191.4
September 1st 2021 – 185.8 I don’t actually believe this weight this morning. It represents a 4 pound drop since yesterday and a 6.8 pound drop since the day before yesterday. Scale is reliable and I checked it 3 times so it may be a fluctuation of hormones in my body. I will check it Sunday and adjust the Sept 1st weight then.
October 1st 2021 – 187.0 Binge last night didn’t help. It totally ruined my weigh-in.

How is everyone doing? My July & August were really good. My September....mmmmm notsomuch! So far, in October I am losing the same 3 pounds over & over. It is mainly due to travel. I've got to do a better job of choosing wisely and getting in a bit more movement even when I'm on the road. It's all possible if I apply myself.
Lots of month left, plenty of time to push past the walls & barriers that are holding me back!

ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND AND MONDAY!

Just checking in, Friends. I had breast cancer (in remission still I hope) surgery on Oct 22nd and am healing slowly but well. My pre-op EKG found what looks to be a blockage on the left side of my heart which would likely be from my Chemo during the breast cancer treatments. My glucose is way way out of control so I'll need to also find an endocrinologist. It sucks getting old LOL. Anyway, I am hanging in there and doing well but my weight has been going bonkers since just before the surgery. I am watching my diet okay but can't really move like I usually do. Hopefully I will heal likety-split although not likely with T2D. Not much movement right now but at least I am trying to watch what I put in my pie-hole!

I am aiming for a decent weight on the 1st, even if it doesn't reflect much progress.
Hang in there Friends!

Two pounds lower this month. It was four pounds down mid month, but half of them decided to come back to roost. I'll kick them and some of their friends out this month.

Making progress. How about you guys?
