    I'd love to join this party! I've struggled with my weight my whole life, but when I log, I lose--it's as simple (and as hard) as that. My problem is with consistency. I lost 30 lbs last year but nothing this year, and I've got 30 to go before getting out of the obese zone. Here's wishing us all good health.

    SW 6.1.21 212
    10/1 173.4
    10/3 172.4
    10/20 172
    10/21 170.8
    total weight loss so far 41.2
    total october weight loss 2.6 pound
    Hope to lose in october 8 pounds
    Goal weight for 10/31/21 165.4

    I've been packing to move, so that's contributed to my weight loss stall. Carrying tons of heavy boxes, which I hope has built muscle, and burning tons of calories, which should have created a large fat loss. But I've also been eating a bit more, trying not to get sick during a stressful time, and not able to eat my usual diet plan. I suspect some of this is water weight due to muscle soreness. And I haven't moved house yet, so the disruption will continue. I'm just glad I'm still losing during this time and not gaining. I may not meet my october goal, even if my body settles down, but I'm 2/3s of the way to my weight goal, so I'm still pretty happy.

    Hope to lose in october 5
    Goal weight for 10/31/21 169

    I've revised my october weight loss goal, due to packing to move - been eating more due to all the exercise. Hope my weight loss will improve once my body settles down, if it is true that sore muscles retain water weight, then the scale should go down once that is dropped. don't know, Would be nice if my weight loss is more than the scale is showing, but I'll take the 3 pounds and hope to be in the 160s by the end of october.

    ✔️Ate well over calories. The Snacky Stress monster is back! October is a crazy month of college applications, FASFA, & her last SAT test.

    ⭐️October 2…211.6…I was stress eating yesterday for my daughter, but today I’m over it! I’ll put my nervous energy to good use and dance while she takes her SAT this morning, and I’ll clean up her room and bathroom…which will make me feel better! HAPPY SATURDAY!

    Hi everyone. I'd like to join your group. I'm 63, 5'2", 240 pounds. My goal is somewhere around 140ish. My first mini goal is to get to 230. Figure it'd be easier to do small goals then look at the big goal of 100 lbs.

    @jm216 good luck with your stress monster! I need to get my treadmill set up and start walking my stress off instead of trying to eat it away. Some days I just feel like giving up but I know that's not the answer so I just keep plugging along trusting that one day soon this stress will disappear!

    ✔️Ate well over calories. The Snacky Stress monster is back! October is a crazy month of college applications, FASFA, & her last SAT test.

    ⭐️October 2…211.6…I was stress eating yesterday for my daughter, but today I’m over it! I’ll put my nervous energy to good use and dance while she takes her SAT this morning, and I’ll clean up her room and bathroom…which will make me feel better! HAPPY SATURDAY!

    ✔️I agree! Weekends are hard… ate well over my calories… felt so over stuffed when I went to bed… thought for sure that the scale would read higher, but it will catch up with me. ⭐️October 3…210.9…👍

    ⭐️October 4…211.4…there is the correction from Friday night’s Jimmy John’s sub. I have to learn to put half of it away in the refrigerator for the next days lunch or dinner instead of eating ALL of it in 1 sitting. Self discipline!

    ✔️Ate over my calories…I have to learn to savor and save. If I’m going to eat the brownie, I can portion it better and save some for later. With treats I’m more like a squirrel 🐿 that jams all of the nuts 🥜 in its mouth. 🤣

    ⭐️October 5…212.6… the backslide has begun… and I’m going to stop it right now! It’s time to dance with Gina B on UTube and get my day moving on the right foot. 💃🏻

    ✔️Gave into snacking on chips… again. Time to stop the self sabotage and only eat chips with a meal, because they are not satisfying as a snack… you know this, and you’ve got this , Jill.

    ⭐️October 8… 212.2 holding steady, but when I get snacking back under control it will move downward. I’m worth it, so I have to stop giving in to overeating. I can conquer 2.2 pounds and get into the 210’s by the end of October.

    @jm216 good luck with your stress monster! I need to get my treadmill set up and start walking my stress off instead of trying to eat it away. Some days I just feel like giving up but I know that's not the answer so I just keep plugging along trusting that one day soon this stress will disappear!

    How's it going with your stress? Wondering what changes you've considered?

    Going to rehome that Halloween candy today out of the fridge to anywhere else. 2 pieces, no more.

    I’m trying to drink more water when I want to stress snack…. The other day I had a cucumber with sea salt… and it satisfied me. I’m on day 2 of eating under my calories, and today I’m fighting it, but I am bound and determined to keep my streak going.

    in the middle of a stressful move and so weight loss is a side issue only lost about 4 pounds in october rather than 8-10 hoping to do better this month

    weighed in today at 168.2, so that's a big loss for me lately! Especially since I have been going way over my sodium limits, trying to eat up canned goods in the pantry in anticipation of moving. Processed foods are not my favorites, so its a double curse, having to eat them, and having them throw me off my diet. So I have been losing more slowly
