@LuckiS32 Thank you for the kind words and support! Even if the scale is being tricky, WE are going to be stronger next month.

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 incorporate 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 incorporate 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 gains:#This is just the psychology that works for me right now.:D
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.
10/19 - 225-226.10 Usually I step on my scale three times just to get the best reading. Not sure why I don't have much faith in my scale lol. This time it teetered between 225 and 226. I'm being candid with you all but if anyone asks...I'm 225.

10/20 - 227.70 Not happy with the scale but my mother made a comment that my face looked smaller. I'll take that as an NSV.
10/21 - 227.70 I should have just ordered myself a cheesesteak yesterday!

I had to talk myself off the ledge to make wise eating decisions and came in under calories. I just do not understand why the scale isn't going down!!! Feeling a little negative nancy-ish. I'm probably just cranky from my lack of morning joe since I'm cutting back on coffee as well.

10/22 - 228.70 Okay, screw the quote a little progress each day adds up to big results! Hehe jk...but no really no progress has been made in days.

I feel like a cruel joke is being played on me by my body and the scale. This is very discouraging because I should be focused on moving and taking a break from the gym but I'm so nervous the scale will skyrocket if I steer away from my schedule. I'm going to meditate so I don't let this consume my thoughts all day.

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.

10/7- 185.4
10/8 - 184.4

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!

10/19 - 184.4 - Sigh... I still feel bloated and gross. I think I still have some water weight to drop from the weekend, at least that is what I choose to believe...

10/20/21 - 182.2 - That's better. Still may not hit my October goal, but I'm still happy with my progress.

10/21/21 - 181.6 - Little by little...

10/22/21 - 182.2 -Last night was date night so I expected a little bump, this is very workable.

10/23/21 - 182.4 - movie popcorn & pizza last night, ate moderately happy with weight.

kramereh · October 2021

Current Weight: 216.2 lb
October Weight lost so far: 7.8

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
October 8 - 212.8 - happy I didn’t gain since I went out and indulged a bit too much but I worked out extra knowing that might happen earlier in the day
October 9- 212.6 another great day. Was hoping for more but probably a balance from the previous day.
October 10- 211.2 had a great day but today is going to be a rest/cheat day since it’s my birthday!
October 11- 210.8 I walked over 30k steps trying to compensate for my cheat day which seemed to have worked!
October 12- vacation
October 13- vacation
October 141 vacation
October 15- vacation
October 16- vacation
October 17- vacation
October 18- vacation
October 19- 213- back to the grind after indulging on food and drinks. Stayed active so it could’ve been way worse.
October 20- 211.6 - happy with that drop!
October 21- 210.4- another great day!
October 22- 208.8- I’m shocked but hoping it sticks for the weekend. I have a Halloween campout with my kiddos.
October 23- 208.4 - happy with the weigh in but didn’t feel I made the best decisions yesterday.

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 worked hard! So discouraging!
10/23: 139.8 I worked hard, didn't go crazy over calories, made healthy choices when going over, worked out plus I walked a lot.
No hope that the weight was water retention... I am very disappointed and feeling discouraged, but at the same time I'm feeling the stubborn in me kick in saying: "You think this will stop me? Think again!"
Getting myself pumped up. I will achieve. I am not going to starve myself or work out to the point of passing out. I will achieve my ultimate goal in a healthy and safe way. I WILL ACHIEVE!! I DECLARE!!

Goals of the week:
1. Plan scrumptious, filling, nutritious meals
2. Continue to exercise every day
3. Continue walking to work at least 4x/week

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)

Oh I'm here for this! Just starting out (you know, again, after years)
10/18 - 290 : 1st day food diary, too few cals
10/19 - 289.4 : under cals, no snacking!, 1st day back at gym
10/20 - 290.2 : ok 🤷‍♀️ under cals again but eating good food and a lot, but healthy choices. Legs got that good ache from the gym (squatting hurts) Extra energy from eating better foods allowed me to declutter my closet and take care of some random tasks I've been too lazy/unmotivated to do
10/21 - 289.2 : not too sure about the caliber of my scale but it does the job good enough i guess. I ate hefty snacks this day, but i *logged everything*, which is still another step in the right direction for this whole process.
10/22 - dnw. 2nd day back at gym. Ate that bagel i really wanted for lunch, and balanced it out the rest of the day. Made me feel good to eat what i want still and not feel like I'm sacrificing everything which ends up in me eventually binging everything one day.
10/23 - 291: ok 🤷‍♀️ blowing leaves today 👍👍

LuckiS32 · October 2021

UGW: 175
Oct SW: 220.3
Oct GW: 215

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!
10/4 - 221.1 Fun with friends so wasn’t surprised.
10/5 - 220.1 👍🏽
10/6 - 220.8
10/7 - 221.1
10/8 - 221.1 3.25 mile walk completed today
10/9 - 220.1
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!
10/17- 224.6
10/18- 222.9
10/19 - 224.2
10/20- 223.3 I’ve been walk/jog the past few days and definitely cut back on snacking. My body has been sore since I’ve started jogging more. I’ve also recently stopped taking my BP meds so I that could also cause some water retention. Even though I know I won’t hit my October goal, I will focus on being lower than I started.
10/21- 224.4 Too sedentary yesterday and not enough sleep.
10/22- 226.6 Whew, I need to make some changes. Hurt my toe so I wasn’t able to get in any exercise. Time to refocus, already planned my meals for today. I snacked all day long yesterday so I can only blame myself. I must get back on track!
10/23- 228.5 Planned and logged my meals yesterday so I am a bit shocked at this number.
10/24 - 224.8 not sure I believe this number. Probably a little dehydrated

Surgery went well but not without a few hiccups I may share later. Thanks to everyone for the personal IM's, the hugs, the likes, the well wishes, the good vibes and all the many thoughts and prayers. Please keep me in your prayers as I await pathology results.

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.
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.
10/19 - 189.2 was hoping more would flush out but that's ok. On I go.
10/20 - 187.0 almost back to my beginning of Oct weight. Got the dogs out for a walk yesterday, beautiful day.
10/21 - 187.6 my lack of meal planning since I was gone over the weekend is showing on the scale.
10/22 - 187.8
10/23 -

10/24 - 190.6 I don't think my local gluten-free pizza is actually gluten-free. Meal planning and meal prep is top on my list today. Thinking it's time for some chili !!

Current Weight: 216.2 lb
October Weight lost so far: 7.8

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
October 8 - 212.8 - happy I didn’t gain since I went out and indulged a bit too much but I worked out extra knowing that might happen earlier in the day
October 9- 212.6 another great day. Was hoping for more but probably a balance from the previous day.
October 10- 211.2 had a great day but today is going to be a rest/cheat day since it’s my birthday!
October 11- 210.8 I walked over 30k steps trying to compensate for my cheat day which seemed to have worked!
October 12- vacation
October 13- vacation
October 141 vacation
October 15- vacation
October 16- vacation
October 17- vacation
October 18- vacation
October 19- 213- back to the grind after indulging on food and drinks. Stayed active so it could’ve been way worse.
October 20- 211.6 - happy with that drop!
October 21- 210.4- another great day!
October 22- 208.8- I’m shocked but hoping it sticks for the weekend. I have a Halloween campout with my kiddos.
October 23- 208.4 - happy with the weigh in but didn’t feel I made the best decisions yesterday.
October 24- 208.4 happy with maintenance after drinking beers and not tracking food at the campsite!

I just wanted to share a few reflections with the other members of this community. First of all I wanted to say that I am really grateful for all your support, it is really essential for my weight loss. Secondly, having been on a long journey that has led me to lose more than 140lb so far over a long period, I have realised that as long as someone is honest with themselves, and this accountability exercise is essential for this purpose, eventually the weight is lost. There is the need not to miss any weighing for fear that is going to be higher than we want, otherwise the accountibility is not going to work. We are all on the same boat and no one is going to cast the first stone for sure. I see fellow weight loser who are very concerned because they gained 1-2lb from one day to another. It is nothing to worry about, it is all water. What you ate yesterday does not make you "fatter" today. It takes 3-4 days before the metabolism of what we are eating is completed. Let's trust the process, do the right things most of the time, and the weight loss is inevitable.
