06 - 120.7
07 - 119.8 I slept quite late until noon so this is probably temporary
08 - 121.0 I had pasta again for dinner on Wed and lunch yesterday ... I think it caught up with me.
09 - 120.6
10 - 119.4 Considering I went out for dinner last night and had wine this was quite a surprise

Ultimate goal weight: 128
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 snacking
10/08 - 135.6 (135.7 trend) - ice cream put me over last night. No exercise so glad to see no increase.
10/09 - DNW
10/10 - DNW
10/11 - 139.4 (137.0 trend) -Fell off the wagon. Took a couple days off and unfortunately ate and drank whatever I felt like. College age daughter is home for Fall Break which is not an excuse, but I totally treated her and my son to too many meals out. Also had some sinus issues going on and felt bad so very little activity. A lot of laying around. Was not expecting this big a jump. Time to get back on the wagon, fix this crazy increase and get myself moving in the right direction! I really want to hit 130 before the holidays start. I CAN DO THIS!
10/12 - 136.0 (136.9 trend) -started a 3 day juice cleanse yesterday. Bloated and miserable from the weekend overeating. Wasn't expecting a drop after one day, but there it was this morning. Curious what the scales will say tomorrow.
10/13 - 133.8 (136.5 trend) -this juice cleanse is working much better than the last one. Must be more fluid to get rid of this time around. 5.6 pounds down in two days. Last time was a total of 3 pound for three days. Not complaining at all, just shocked. One more day. Final result will be interesting to see tomorrow. Definitely not bloated any longer. Feeling much more comfortable
10/14 - 132.2 (135.9 trend) - yesterday was my last day of the juice cleanse and the most difficult. Wanted real food so badly. It was ok to eat fresh fruits and veggies with it so I did do that. I was glad when I stepped on the scale this morning that I didn't break the cleanse. 7.2 pounds down in three days! Now to continue without gaining it all back
10/15 - DNW
10/16 - DNW
10/17 - DNW - Out of town for several days with no scales. Tried to be good. Tomorrow will tell. A little nervous about stepping on those scales. I don't have the best results when out of town with no food scales or other scales. Fingers crossed I didn't gain all 7.2 pounds back8 -
I'm in. I'm Chris. I live in northern California.
71 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.

10/1 - 220.3 Ready for a great month. Positive vibes!
10/2 - 219.4 Need to desperately break out of the 219-220 cycle. Travel day today so I know the scale won’t be happy tomorrow.
10/3 - 220.8 Expected. Back to tracking my calories and carbs today!

10/10 - 222.7 WTF 🤬 How? Ate within my calorie goal, no snacking which is a big win, and 3 mile walk.
10/11 - 223.1 😟 4mile walk yesterday
10/12 - 220.5 🤷🏽♀️ Thinking about taking a break from the scale for a few days. It’s been a rollercoaster. We’ll see. It’s such a part of my daily routine.
10/13 - 223.7 🤔 3 mile walk yesterday
10/14 - 222.8 Staying on track even if the scale has been sucky
10/15 - 222.6 Long day yesterday led to some snacking.
10/16 - 224.5 Not a typo. Enjoyed a wonderful evening at the the Two Michelin star and voted #40 on the world’s best restaurants list, Suhring. I completed a 3.25 walk/run in the morning so maybe it kept me from being 225 😂. Back to the basics today!

Day of reckoning … What’s the damage?
10/18 - 207.6 / 207.5
Up 3.9 pounds since I left. Lots of walking & hiking 43+ miles for exercise however the opposite of activity was driving 2900 miles … so lots of sitting. Then the rest obviously is revealed in the scale … eating at restaurants 16 days for breakfast lunch & dinner, snacking daily on M&Ms, not enough water, too much alcohol. I’m not surprised. If I had just ordered better and not given into biscuits, fries, etc it would have been much better. But it is what it is. Now to focus and tackle the gain before it gets comfortable.

I hate that I do this to myself. Sabatoge all the work I do. This is a new week. Hoping I can stay focused and drop some of this.

@Lilylady3k
Really, that is not a bad gain at all. I am pretty sure if I ate just one meal at a restaurant each day I would have gained at least 20 pounds over that time period.
You did so much hiking on this trip! Good going!
Sounds like such a fabulous trip.
That weight will fall right off of you now : - )4 -
@TinaLeigh67
Sorry to hear about the gain, sorry to hear that it made you cry : - (

10/16 - 136.7 - No reason for the gain.

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.
10/8 - 186.6
10/9 - 185.2 Today's plan is work - meal plan - walk.
10/10 - 184.8 plan for today is grocery - meal prep - walk - laundry - work
10/11 - 186.0 no idea why, walked 5 miles yesterday. Today is work and a trip to the Y, it's been too long.
10/12 - 186.6 ??
10/13 - 187.8 ??
10/14 - 186.6
10/15 - 186.6 not exactly where I want to maintain...heading out for a weekend anniversary get-away with my husband after work today. Goals: maintain, smart food choices, lots of activity including stairs at the hotel, one indulgence tomorrow for our anniversary. Will be back Monday to report in!
10/16 - 28th anniversary!
10/18 - 190.0 Well, honestly not as bad as I expected. Friday my husband and I took off for an anniversary weekend. 4 hours from home, had a tire issue. Got it to the side of the highway and discovered one lugnut missing and 3 others had snapped off. 1 lugnut was holding the tire on. Waited for a tow truck, got towed to AutoZone (no mechanics in that little town). Went to a hotel for the night (not the hotel I had already paid for). Gee, sorry, it's homecoming weekend at Indiana University, we have just one room left (at Super 8) and it's $220 for the night. Um, you do realize this is Super 8, right? Well, it's homecoming...So we paid $220 for a room I wouldn't have stayed in (but it was clean...I checked...). The next morning my husband gets the lug nuts fixed (had to not only go to AutoZone but also another auto parts store to get everything) and we take off again. Made it to our destination, original hotel wouldn't refund night 1 because of the infamous IU homecoming, so we paid for 2 rooms for Friday night. Overall it was a great weekend, we had fun, it just in no way started off well. But we weren't hurt like we would have been if we had been speeding down a highway, so thanking God for that. Needless to say, food choices weren't good at that point. Back on track today with food and exercise, all is good and right in my world today.

************************************************************
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.
10/09-.…..184.0…..Okay, there’s the adjustment over yesterday’s strange weigh-in. I am hoping to have another very good day today. Rain expected all day and a new handyman is here for the first time for a new phase of my projects. I’ll try using the stairs inside for some steps and movement.
10/10-.…..185.6…..I didn’t expect that big of an uptick. I did go over calories by the cost of a small yogurt last night but that wasn’t so bad. Daughter and DGS moved back in late last night after trouble at home. She brought Chinese which we split and fit into my calorie allowance (at the time). I’m thinking sodium. I’ll have to really watch it today which will be difficult with others here. I’ll have to readjust things.
10/11-.…..185.6(Trend Weight 188.1)….. My daughter brought in over $150.00 worth of Halloween Candy she had at home. OMGosh. I’m in trouble! Doing my best but my willpower is not the greatest. It’s like me being in a restaurant where I actually have to practice restraint, and we all know I haven’t mastered that skill yet. Oh Boy! She bought the candy for a costume Halloween party she was going to have which is now cancelled due to her current circumstances. I will try hard to do good today.
10/12-.…..185.6…..(Trend Weight 187.9)….. I was hoping to see a better result on the scale. Yesterday was an all-around good day. I talked to my daughter about that candy and she made a good plan to get it out of the house. I resisted it yesterday. Zero pieces. Travel today which will cause an uptick, but it least it won’t be candy I’ll be eating at the restaurant! . Clothes are looser again. I’m happy for the body recomposition.
10/13-.…..187.0…..(Trend Weight 187.8)….. Expected uptick from yesterday’s travel. Started the day horribly with my grandson age 3 who wouldn’t stop screaming, writhing on the floor and kicking. He was not in a good mood at all. I already feel drained. Today is not going to be a good day. That is clear. Poor little fella has been uprooted from his home and so I understand his frustration. But it doesn’t make it any easier, especially physically. It took two of us getting kicked in the face, just to get him standing to get his clothes on. I’m already reminding myself about every 3 minutes that I will not emotionally eat today or that I will not take the easy way out and eat something that doesn’t require a lot of planning due to exhaustion. That usually has more calories and carbs. Uptick on the scale is from travel yesterday. I’ve got to try to offset that today while figuring out how to deal with 4 different people and 4 different eating tastes and habits including my Autistic son and his white food. 7 workers expected throughout the day today, overlapping. Last one will leave about 9:30 pm. I’m not looking forward to this day. DGS sets the whole tone for all of us in the morning.
10/14-.…..xxxxx186.2…..(Trend Weight 187.6)…..Travel weight oozing back out. Happy to see it. Downward trend going well too. My daughter made pumpkin cheesecake for dessert tonight from scratch which is pretty cruel. I will have one piece and allow for it, but I will have to have her padlock me in at night as I stay up late and my bedroom is not far from the refrigerator for 2nds. Control……Not just now, ……for Life……
10/15-……185.6…..(Trend Weight 187.2)….. Nice to see a drop. Travel today . Here comes the yo-yo.
10/16-……xxxxx(Trend Weight xxxxx)…..
**************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************
My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 61 years old and from the Midwest USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s
Starting Weight (from Sept 30th): 186.2
Goal: 181.2 (Five lb Loss)
End Of Challenge Weight:
******************************
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…..Well there is the uptick I expected. My goal today is to work it back down and not let it pull me in the wrong direction any further. Rain all day and thunderstorms expected too. Lots of workers will be here today again. No privacy until late tonight after 9:00 but I will try to go up & down my steps in the house, at the very least.
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.
10/09-.…..184.0…..After the strange weight yesterday, this is the adjustment that is overdue. It was another good day. It rained all day so my exercise level was low. However, my diet was on point and I got to babysit my 3 yr old DGS. That is always a plus! And the bonus was lots of steps up and down the stairs chasing him. I honestly just can’t get enough of his face and his bright eyes!
10/10-.…..185.6…..I didn’t expect that big of an uptick. I did go over calories by the cost of a small yogurt last night but that wasn’t so bad. Daughter and DGS moved back in late last night after trouble at home. She brought Chinese which we split and fit into my calorie allowance (at the time). I’m thinking sodium. I’ll have to really watch it today which will be difficult with others here. I’ll have to readjust things.
10/11-.…..185.6…..(Trend Weight 188.1)….. My daughter brought in over $150.00 worth of Halloween Candy she had at home. OMGosh. I’m in trouble! Doing my best but my willpower is not the greatest. It’s like me being in a restaurant where I actually have to practice restraint, and we all know I haven’t mastered that skill yet. Oh Boy! She bought the candy for a costume Halloween party she was going to have which is now cancelled due to her current circumstances. I will try hard to do good today.
10/12-.…..185.6…..(Trend Weight 187.9)…..I had a talk with my daughter about that candy. She made a wonderful plan to GET IT OUT OF THE HOUSE. Good day yesterday all around. I wish the scale had reflected it. Travel today so I expect a bit of an uptick tomorrow. I always do better at home with more movement and less extravagance in my eating. I’m taking it in stride. It’s all part of the process.
10/13-.…..187.0…..(Trend Weight 187.8)…..Started the day horribly with my grandson age 3 who wouldn’t stop screaming, writhing on the floor and kicking. He was not in a good mood at all. I already feel drained. Today is not going to be a good day. That is clear. Poor little fella has been uprooted from his home and so I understand his frustration.

Last one will leave about 9:30 pm. I’m not looking forward to this day. DGS sets the whole tone for all of us in the morning.
10/14-.…..186.2…..(Trend Weight 187.6)….. I love love love all the posts since yesterday. So funny, so inspiring, so caring. Love all the pics too. Thanks everyone for the inspiration!
10/15-……185.6…..(Trend Weight 187.4)….. Nice to see a drop. Travel today . Here comes the yo-yo.
10/16-……185.8…..(Trend Weight 187.3)….. Not bad after travel. I’m hoping it’s finished with it’s final vote. I don’t see the possibility of my making goal this month unfortunately, but I do know I can make more progress. Going for it!
10/17-.…..186.2…..(Trend Weight 187.2)….. I am still upticking from the travel the other day, which I expected. No TMI x2 so that is not helping either. Yesterday was an all-around good day. Hoping to stick to my guns again today even with my daughter home all day eating, cooking, snacking and munching. No sir, no me!
10/18-.…..185.2…..(Trend Weight 187.0)….. That’s better. I had another good day yesterday with dietary goals though the exercise is still slacking with the lack of privacy in my home. I can’t wait for this particular renovation to be done! Today is pre-op testing at my doctors which is about 11 miles from home so no restaurants are necessary. Deep nasal covid test (oh joy!), EKG, A1C and the blessings check-up for the surgery Friday at the University Hospital. I will be gone from Thursday until Saturday night so I may not post. I am dreading the deep nasal test today.

HAPPY BELATED ANNIVERSARIES & BIRTHDAY'S TO ALL WHO RECENTLY CELEBRATED! Also, congratulationsss to @dawnbgethealthy on your MFP Anniversary!!!! Three years is amazing!
October Stats...
UGW: 150s
Oct SW: 223
Oct GW: 215 (Original goal) 220 (Edited to be more realistic)
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 reps
10/9 - 227 The most movement I did was bring a fork to my mouth:/
10/10 - No weigh-ins, no workouts...just vibes
10/11 - Debating on weighing in during my cycle, I usually gain 3-10 pounds in water weight. Weight lifting about 10-12 reps x 5 sets for 5 exercises. (Deficit Deadlifts, Standing DB Overhead Shoulder Press, Seated Arnold Press, Lying Leg Curl, Back Extensions), followed by a HIIT workout for cardio and finishing with 10 min sprint on the treadmill.
10/11 (Evening) - After saying I was not going to weigh myself, I did it anyway. Let's just say...the scale had me crying all mf'n night. hehe. (234 yikes!!!!):'(
10/12 - 229...a lot more acceptable but I may need to adjust something in my routine. Push day in full effect with either running or indoor cycling for HIIT
10/13 - 228.60 The water weight is slowly but surely leaving my body. I am increasing my water intake to speed up the process. It's a small dent but I'm not 229 anymore so that's a plus.;)Glutes/Hammies/Inner thigh day so I plan to leave the gym with baby giraffe legs. (If you do not know what I mean, please google Baby Giraffe Tries to Stand/Walk and thank me later.)<3
10/13 - 228.60 Maintaining weight...not sure how I feel about that
Will add a HIIT workout after today's weight lifting schedule. Also, need to work on protein and water intake. Baby, somebody really should have told me I needed to eat my weight in protein BEFORE I became 200+ pounds.;)
10/14 - 225.60 It's a happy surprise to see this number. I'm speaking into existence that I will lose the 5.60 pounds by the 31st.
*New goals for the end of October will be to focus a lot more on my food and incorporating HIIT at least 4x a week.
10/15 - 225.60 It is a happy surprise to see this number. I'm speaking into existence that I will lose the 5.60 pounds by the 31st. New goals for the end of October will be to focus a lot more on my food and incorporating HIIT at least 4x a week.
10/16 - 227 The "weight gain" motivated me to hit the gym hard. Left with major glute pump, and decided to weigh in. End result was 130 after my workout so I'm blaming the new number on muscle gainz This is just the psychology that works for me right now.
10/17 - 226.40
10/18 - 227.10 Broke out of my clean eating schedule to have caramel popcorn, wine, spiked cider, 6 piece nuggets, and small fry. I'm not upset with the scale or my decisions.
I will continue my week with this quote in mind, "A little progress each day adds up to big results."

10/9 - 184.4 today of my birthday so there will be cake, actually wedding cake as I’m going to a wedding this morning.
10/10 - 185.4 - up a pound, but I think that will be ok once my body works through the sodium from the last two days. No worries.
10/11 - 184.8 - a little down from the up, hopefully I'll have purged all the salt by tomorrow and see a loss.
10/12 - 183.4 - the weekend bloat is gone and showing an actual loss now. Yay!!!
10/13 - 182.6 - Another drop, but I was way low on calories yesterday, but I'll take it. Yay!
10/14 - 181.8 - Tonight is date night so tomorrow will definitely be higher, but hopefully not too bad.
10/15 - 184.4 - Yep date night bumped me back up, but it isn't real weight so I won't fret.
10/16 - 184.0 - little down from date night.
10/17 - DNW - yesterday was bad and I just couldn’t look today…
10/18 - DNW, Sodium has been off the charts the past 2 days with a mini Thanksgiving meal this weekend. Ill weigh tomorrow, but I was already sad today and didn't need another downer... Happy Monday y'all!

Hello again, everyone!!
My name is Ana. Some months after my husband passed away I was at my highest weight (180 lbs). I was 175 lbs when I started with MFP 5+ years ago. Using MFP I was able to get back to a healthy weight through diet and exercise and I kept it off for years.
Unfortunately, the pandemic has messed me up in many, profound ways that led to a Dr's visit on June 16th where I learned that I was back up to 156.4 lb. I am back to the MFP community to be accountable for my own health.
My goal is to reach and maintain 121 lb by the end of July of 2022. I want to keep on track through all the upcoming holidays, Mexican and American. For October and November I'm praying for strength against candy, Pozole and Turkey eating!!
Highest Weight: 180 lbs
2021 Highest (June): 156.4 lbs
October Start/Goal: 141.2 / 137.2 (- 4)
Ultimate goal: Weigh 121 lbs or less and maintain the loss by 06/2022
10/02: 141.2 Didn't pressure myself, rest days
10/09: 141.2 Lazy week all around
10/16: 141 I am so disappointed! I made good food choices and worked out too. Three weeks without losing any weight is so frustrating! I am sticking to my plan hoping it is water retention from TOM, but I'm feeling discouraged, I'm not gonna lie...
Goals of the week:
1. Plan filling, nutritious meals
2. Go back to exercise every day
REMINDER TO SELF:
Highest Weight: 180 lbs
MFP Start: 175 lbs
June Start/End: 156.4 / 151.8 (- 4.6)
July Start/End: 151.8 / 148.4 (- 3.4)
August Start/End: 150.2 / 146.4 (- 3.8)
September Start/End: 141.2 lbs (- 5.2)11 -

Day of reckoning … What’s the damage?
10/18 - 207.6 /207.5
Up 3.9 pounds since I left. Lots of walking & hiking 43+ miles for exercise however the opposite of activity was driving 2900 miles … so lots of sitting. Then the rest obviously is revealed in the scale … eating at restaurants 16 days for breakfast lunch & dinner, snacking daily on M&Ms, not enough water, too much alcohol. I’m not surprised. If I had just ordered better and not given into biscuits, fries, etc it would have been much better. But it is what it is. Now to focus and tackle the gain before it gets comfortable.

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.
10/8 - 186.6

10/14 - 186.6
10/15 - 186.6 not exactly where I want to maintain...heading out for a weekend anniversary get-away with my husband after work today. Goals: maintain, smart food choices, lots of activity including stairs at the hotel, one indulgence tomorrow for our anniversary. Will be back Monday to report in!
10/16 - 28th anniversary!
10/18 - 190.0 Well, honestly not as bad as I expected. Friday my husband and I took off for an anniversary weekend. 4 hours from home, had a tire issue. Got it to the side of the highway and discovered one lugnut missing and 3 others had snapped off. 1 lugnut was holding the tire on. Waited for a tow truck, got towed to AutoZone (no mechanics in that little town). Went to a hotel for the night (not the hotel I had already paid for). Gee, sorry, it's homecoming weekend at Indiana University, we have just one room left (at Super 8) and it's $220 for the night. Um, you do realize this is Super 8, right? Well, it's homecoming...So we paid $220 for a room I wouldn't have stayed in (but it was clean...I checked...). The next morning my husband gets the lug nuts fixed (had to not only go to AutoZone but also another auto parts store to get everything) and we take off again. Made it to our destination, original hotel wouldn't refund night 1 because of the infamous IU homecoming, so we paid for 2 rooms for Friday night. Overall it was a great weekend, we had fun, it just in no way started off well. But we weren't hurt like we would have been if we had been speeding down a highway, so thanking God for that. Needless to say, food choices weren't good at that point. Back on track today with food and exercise, all is good and right in my world today.
10/19 - 189.2 was hoping more would flush out but that's ok. On I go.

September end weight: 135.0
October starting weight: 134.8
October goal weight: 132 (maybe this is the month)
Ultimate goal weight: 128
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 snacking
10/08 - 135.6 (135.7 trend) - ice cream put me over last night. No exercise so glad to see no increase.
10/09 - DNW
10/10 - DNW
10/11 - 139.4 (137.0 trend) -Fell off the wagon. Took a couple days off and unfortunately ate and drank whatever I felt like. College age daughter is home for Fall Break which is not an excuse, but I totally treated her and my son to too many meals out. Also had some sinus issues going on and felt bad so very little activity. A lot of laying around. Was not expecting this big a jump. Time to get back on the wagon, fix this crazy increase and get myself moving in the right direction! I really want to hit 130 before the holidays start. I CAN DO THIS!
10/12 - 136.0 (136.9 trend) -started a 3 day juice cleanse yesterday. Bloated and miserable from the weekend overeating. Wasn't expecting a drop after one day, but there it was this morning. Curious what the scales will say tomorrow.
10/13 - 133.8 (136.5 trend) -this juice cleanse is working much better than the last one. Must be more fluid to get rid of this time around. 5.6 pounds down in two days. Last time was a total of 3 pound for three days. Not complaining at all, just shocked. One more day. Final result will be interesting to see tomorrow. Definitely not bloated any longer. Feeling much more comfortable
10/14 - 132.2 (135.9 trend) - yesterday was my last day of the juice cleanse and the most difficult. Wanted real food so badly. It was ok to eat fresh fruits and veggies with it so I did do that. I was glad when I stepped on the scale this morning that I didn't break the cleanse. 7.2 pounds down in three days! Now to continue without gaining it all back
10/15 - DNW
10/16 - DNW
10/17 - DNW - Out of town for several days with no scales. Tried to be good. Tomorrow will tell. A little nervous about stepping on those scales. I don't have the best results when out of town with no food scales or other scales. Fingers crossed I didn't gain all 7.2 pounds back
10/18 - 138.4 ( 137.0 trend) - very angry at myself. I was so pleased with the loss from the juice cleanse. I gained back 6.2 of the 7.2 I lost. I actually cried this morning. I hate that I do this to myself. Sabatoge all the work I do. This is a new week. Hoping I can stay focused and drop some of this.
10/19- 136.0 (136.8 trend) - In the right direction. Kept my food in check and walked. Need to do the same today.9 -
STILL awaiting the whoosh...it is coming!

10/13 - 135.5
10/14 - 135.9 - Skipped my portioned Thanksgiving portioned out food and ordered takeout from the Restaurant that I work at - Daal Makni. I know that restaurant food causes weight gain for me. It was delicious though, not many calories.

New here!
Goal- 135.0
Daily Plan-Log, exercise, weigh, post to the group
10/19 - 139.8 I recently lost about 25 lbs by logging, exercising, weighing in and joining an accountability group. It worked! However, I have slacked off of all of those things over the past couple months and, no surprise, have gained some of the weight back. I’m here for accountability and support. Turns out, I need it more than I thought!9
