10/01-…...187.0 Well, there I am, off to a bad start. I had a full-on binge last night so this is not surprising. Today I will try to compensate as best I can but tomorrow may be a travel day. That means restaurant meal and less than normal movement. Ugg, why does it have to be such a rough road?
10/02-.…..185.0 I worked outside yesterday on painting and staining. Over 16,000 steps back & forth into the house. 6 flights of stairs and 2900 calorie burn overall for the day. That helped. I stuck to my guns and avoided over-snacking last night which is my #1 downfall. It all paid off. Today is travel so tomorrow the scale will be up again due to restaurant meal and lots of car sitting/driving but no worries. I will quickly turn it back around.
10/03-.…..187.0 My body really seems to like that 187 range but I’m afraid that I’m going to be putting it in the rear view mirror for good. Sorry body! This is the after travel uptick I expected. With the rain and the handymen here today, movement will be difficult but my diet can stay on point. Going to use my stairs in my house for some extra calorie burn!
10/04-.…. 187.2…..Some unexpected travel yesterday which took me away for about 4 hours late afternoon until evening. However, the shorter trip did not blow my dietary goals. I just lacked movement and as much water as I would normally drink. I hope today goes smoother.
.
10/05-.…..186.8…..I did sneak in a few extra calories last night after I closed out, but not enough to hurt the scale. I’m so glad to see a drop today. It’s time to see 185 point anything again. Hopefully in the next couple of days.
10/06-.…..184.6…..Body functions worked good yesterday (finally). Nice to see a drop on the scale and find out where I really am.

Nikki, 52 years old, 5'6"
WL history: ups and downs for years
Exercise: Y workout 3x/week, walk with or without the dogs 5x/week
Goal: truly give up gluten and avoid it (not allergic, just pick up many pounds of fluid for days)
Goal: put myself on the things-to-do list, and the take-care-of list
Goal: lose it and maintain it
Goal weight: 140
12/31 goal: 175
10/1 - 186.6 got my motivation firmly in place, I will make progress by year-end. Aiming for 175 by 12/31. There - I said it, it's in writing, I have a plan, now I just need to execute my plan. My husband is working it with me, and we always do better when we pull together. TGIF!!
10/2 - 186.2 rainy here in Indiana so planning on a treadmill walk while watching a Hallmark movie. Actually, I think I'll get my day's food logged in and go walk before the day gets completely away from me.
10/3 - 185.8 thrilled to have another lower number, 3 days in a row. Staying determined and motivated! Am doing food prep today (after a grocery run), laundry, and hopefully getting the dogs out for a walk, otherwise another treadmill journey for me.
10/4 - 186.6 Monday morning bounce, although I also didn't exercise at all yesterday. I did get my grocery run done, food prep, and laundry. I should have started with the exercise though. Will do better today; still rainy so will have a lunch treadmill walk shortly. Food is logged.
10/5 - 186.6 failed on exercise yesterday. sigh. I struggle putting myself on the to-do list. Food planned and logged though.
10/6 - 185.8 still no exercise. Funeral home viewing tonight, service tomorrow with lunch after.
10/7 - 185.6 Funeral service and lunch today, will make the best choices I can since I'm not in control of the food options.

Current Weight: 216.2 lb
October Weight lost so far: 3.2
October 1- 216.2
October 2- 215.4
October 3- 214.6- had a great weekend! Hoping I can keep the momentum going when I’m off for a week starting 10/11.
October 4- 214.2- it’s nice to see even with pizza and a few drinks I can still lose but with moderation and exercise of course!
October 5- 214.8- not sure how I gained since I was under in consumed calories and burned at least 800 in workouts. Hoping it’s just because of lack of sleep since I was up really late with my puking 3 year old 🤢
October 6- 213.8 - alright that’s better. I stayed with it yesterday vs getting frustrated and giving up
October 7- 213- I had a great day yesterday! Hoping I can carry that through the weekend

My name is Tina, Height: 5'6" Age: 54
MFP starting weight: 149.2 (3/30/21)
September results: -.2
September end weight: 135.0
October starting weight: 134.8
October goal weight: 132 (maybe this is the month)
Ultimate goal weight: 128
Goals for the month: 3 days of exercise a week and complete logging EVERY day no matter how bad it is.
10/01 - 134.8 (135.4 trend)
10/02 - DNW
10/03 - DNW - 4 mile walk
10/04 - 136.2 (135.7 trend)
- Already screwed up my goals for the month. Did not log over the weekend. Ate out several times and it is so difficult trying to figure out entries. It is a new week and from this point on I will log everything. Going to try and avoid eating out for a bit and concentrate on getting the exercise done each week. I think I may check out the gym at work. It's free and I can stop there after work before heading home.
10/05 - 136.4 (135.8 trend)
- No exercise and ate poorly. No excuses, just didn't do what I needed to do.
10/06 - 135.2 (135.7 trend)
-had physical activity at work that is not normal, workout and a walk after work and kept a deficit in calories yesterday. Paid off. Just need to keep it up
10/07 - 135.6 (135.7 trend)
-late night snacking6 -
My name is Anna, Height: 5'4" Age: 41
October starting weight: 137.4
October goal weight: 133.5
October starting body fat: 18.6%
October goal body fat: 17%
October starting waist (below belly button) : 34.25"
October goal waist (below belly button) : 33.5"
Ultimate goals: 128, 15% body fat, 32" waist
If I avoid processed starches and sugars, I can hit this goal. My goal is to avoid the weekend indulging/bloating cycle that I seemed to be on in the last two months that derailed my progress.
10/01 - 137.4
10/4 - 138
10/5 - 138, trying not to get discouraged. Feeling like I'm doing all the things that normally get me in a weight loss mode. I'll just keep doing them and hope to break thru this plateau.
10/6 - 136.4, 34" waist. Progress! Just need to keep it now.
10/7 - 136.4, happy to maintain this for another day8 -

HAPPY FRIYAYY! This week's quote for me is, "When you feel like quitting think about why you started." My week started off great. I was highly motivated and decided to start the 75 Hard Challenge on October 1st. Somewhere between Wednesday and Thursday, my body did a shift and wanted to have a rest day. This was the first time in my workout journey that I did not give myself grace. Instead, I had a heart to heart with myself on WHY I am doing this, the benefits, and possible outcomes. This pep talk was different. I did not use the same foul language I normally would on myself, i.e. your lazy, you're never going to hit your target weight...blah blah blah. Funny how changing my tone and word choice actually motivated me to get up this time. However, someone must have heard my pleas for me to stumble across this discussion post.
Let's see what October has in store...
UGW: 150s
Oct SW: 223
Oct GW: 215
I'm officially starting today...
10/8 - 223 Will perform two of Chloe Ting's fitness programs on YT and K.O. with 5 quad exercises ranging in 3 sets x 10-15 reps8 -
My name is Anna, Height: 5'4" Age: 41
October starting weight: 137.4
October goal weight: 133.5
October starting body fat: 18.6%
October goal body fat: 17%
October starting waist (below belly button) : 34.25"
October goal waist (below belly button) : 33.5"
Ultimate goals: 128, 15% body fat, 32" waist
If I avoid processed starches and sugars, I can hit this goal. My goal is to avoid the weekend indulging/bloating cycle that I seemed to be on in the last two months that derailed my progress.
10/01 - 137.4
10/4 - 138
10/5 - 138, trying not to get discouraged. Feeling like I'm doing all the things that normally get me in a weight loss mode. I'll just keep doing them and hope to break thru this plateau.
10/6 - 136.4, 34" waist. Progress! Just need to keep it now.
10/7 - 136.4, happy to maintain this for another day
10/8 - 137.4 - I was ravenous last night after dinner and while I chose healthy options, I think the post-dinner snacking caused this little bump. I went for a run yesterday and am noticing that cardio choice seems to spike my appetite more than biking. I like to run, and want to be in decent running shape, but I think I'm going to switch to biking for cardio while I'm focusing on losing weight and will build up my running again once I'm where I want to be on the scale. It's my husbands birthday today, and I can easily control what I eat celebration-wise at home, it will be an interesting experiment to see how much I can get away with at my in-laws. My MIL is very nice, but will definitely notice and comment if I avoid bread or decline dessert.

******************************
10/01-…...187.0 Well, there I am, off to a bad start. I had a full-on binge last night so this is not surprising. Today I will try to compensate as best I can but tomorrow may be a travel day. That means restaurant meal and less than normal movement. Ugg, why does it have to be such a rough road?
10/02-.…..185.0 I worked outside yesterday on painting and staining. Over 16,000 steps back & forth into the house. 6 flights of stairs and 2900 calorie burn overall for the day. That helped. I stuck to my guns and avoided over-snacking last night which is my #1 downfall. It all paid off. Today is travel so tomorrow the scale will be up again due to restaurant meal and lots of car sitting/driving but no worries. I will quickly turn it back around.
10/03-.…..187.0 My body really seems to like that 187 range but I’m afraid that I’m going to be putting it in the rear view mirror for good. Sorry body! This is the after travel uptick I expected. With the rain and the handymen here today, movement will be difficult but my diet can stay on point. Going to use my stairs in my house for some extra calorie burn!
10/04-.…. 187.2…..Some unexpected travel yesterday which took me away for about 4 hours late afternoon until evening. However, the shorter trip did not blow my dietary goals. I just lacked movement and as much water as I would normally drink. I hope today goes smoother.
.
10/05-.…..186.8…..I did sneak in a few extra calories last night after I closed out, but not enough to hurt the scale. I’m so glad to see a drop today. It’s time to see 185 point anything again. Hopefully in the next couple of days.
10/06-.…..184.6…..Body functions worked good yesterday (finally). Nice to see a drop on the scale and find out where I really am.
10/07-.…..184.8….. A normal fluctuation. All is well and yesterday was a good day. I am so happy to hanging around in the 184 range. Aiming for another good day today!
10/08-.…..185.6…..I have no idea in this world of ours why there was a gain. My macros were good, my calories were in the green, I had even more exercise than I logged. Nothing too salty to eat. Perhaps my body is just compensating a little for the large recent drops. In any case, I am still down from this round’s start so I’ll not sweat it and just trust the process.

10/2 - 186.2 rainy here in Indiana so planning on a treadmill walk while watching a Hallmark movie. Actually, I think I'll get my day's food logged in and go walk before the day gets completely away from me.
10/3 - 185.8 thrilled to have another lower number, 3 days in a row. Staying determined and motivated! Am doing food prep today (after a grocery run), laundry, and hopefully getting the dogs out for a walk, otherwise another treadmill journey for me.
10/4 - 186.6 Monday morning bounce, although I also didn't exercise at all yesterday. I did get my grocery run done, food prep, and laundry. I should have started with the exercise though. Will do better today; still rainy so will have a lunch treadmill walk shortly. Food is logged.
10/5 - 186.6 failed on exercise yesterday. sigh. I struggle putting myself on the to-do list. Food planned and logged though.
10/6 - 185.8 still no exercise. Funeral home viewing tonight, service tomorrow with lunch after.
10/7 - 185.6 Funeral service and lunch today, will make the best choices I can since I'm not in control of the food options.
