    CW: 226.3 (10/01/2021)
    10/2: 227.7 (+1.4)

    GW for October: 218-220
    GW for 2021: 204-208
    UGW: 173 by May 2022, then maintenance

    Decided to log a day early. Super busy day tomorrow and won't have time to get onto the community board to update. Wedding went great. Certainly loss at a slower rate than anticipated, but I still lost weight! Don't know for certain whether I will break 220 before November, but I'm pretty darn close. Feels like I haven't gone to the gym in forever, though. :/

    On the plus side, I am currently wearing some size 14 jeans- the size I wore back when I was a student athlete- and they aren't uncomfortable. Decided to also try on a formal gown I had worn to a banquet 4 years ago. It was tight on me then. Now? Fits perfectly! (Ironically it says size 18, but that may have been UK sizing). It'll almost be sad when it gets too big. But if I have a formal event come up in the next couple of years, I'll probably want to buy or rent a new dress anyways.

    Thank you for the welcome, all. Today was a bit easier, stayed just under calorie range, and I am focusing more on how my body feels. I’m working on not needing to feel full and trying to pinpoint why I would want to. I’m looking forward to a good night’s sleep!

    SW: 221.4 (7/2021)
    CW: 212.4
    October GW: 209 (met 10/15) new goal 205
    Ultimate Goal: 150-160

    Total - 9 lbs since July, 1.4lbs since Oct 1st.

    October 1: 213.8
    October 8: 212.4 (-1.4)
    October 15: 209.6 (-2.8)
    October 22: 210.2 (+ 0.6)
    October 29:

    All my belly aching last week and I'm almost back to 209. I had gotten a blister on the ball of my foot while out for a walk which caused me to walk funny which cause my calf muscles to become sore. I think that was predominantly why I gained, because of water retention in the muscles, because now that my muscles don't hurt anymore, I'm almost back to where I was last week.

    I've walked on the treadmill for at least 30 minutes 5 of the last 7 days and hit 10k steps just as many days.

    Just going to keep doing what I'm doing and hope it keeps working!

    Very happy with this week’s loss as I wasn’t the best with eating or working out. Our busy season at work ends next week so that should help a lot.

    @goal06082021 I hope your husband’s MRI goes well! And good luck on your “ultrawalkathon”!

    @kenziestabes, @justanotherloser and @wanderinglight congrats on fitting in your old dresses!

    And everyone else is doing great! We can all do this!💪

    In my opinion you're doing AMAZING, @patriciafoley1 Moving was a big part of what completely derailed me last time, and I undid 67 pounds of my up-to-then 75 pounds of weight loss. So I am cheering you on!
    thanks. Moving is so hard, I sympathize with you being derailed. I feel at times like I'm losing my mind over it. I so want it to be finished. but that will be at least another month.

    I dropped 4 tenths of a pound today, from 170.8 to 170.4, so still moving in the right direction. I hope to be in the 160s by the end of the month. And that will be a weight I haven't been in decades. So still trying and still hopeful

    @sargemarcori For 8 weeks I noticed that even though I eat all the fiber I need in a day, and am eating at a deficit and working out - I was still stalling in the weight significantly. So I was thinking my colon just needed an assist, even though I really thought that moving and fiber should have done it. I used Milk of Magnesium, and I guess I was just stalled out for reasons I just don't get. I really thought fiber + exercise meant happy colon. But I know that changing diet can mess with you for a while until your body gets situated with the new food choices. It worked and now I am trucking along as if I had no issues. Maybe that will help. It is magnesium, so if you are on a magnesium limited diet do something else - but it works for the elderly!
