The first digit in this week's entry is FAB!

I’m quite happy on the whole as I’ve been on holiday this week, so lots of eating out and wine. No plans for November, except one long weekend away, so determined to see good results by staying within my calories, walking as much as possible and avoiding wine! Well done everyone 👏👏

Hi I’m 53 and 5’6”.
Starting Weight: 257.8 (1/14/21)

October Start Weight: 215.9 (9/30/21)

Oct 23: 214.4 (-1.3)
Oct 30: 215.9 (+1.5)

This was my worst month yet on my weight loss journey this time. Not only did I not meet my monthly goal, but I’m back where I was at the beginning of the month. The next 2 months will be even harder with the holidays. I’m not giving up though!

Got my goal! Now to hold it one more day

Oct Start Weight: 177.3
Oct Goal Weight: 172
Ultimate Goal Weight: 150

Oct 1: 177.3
Oct 8: 174.9 Walking 3-5 miles daily. Trying hard to enforce my macros. Those stupid carbs pop up fast even without bread, chips, sweets, or "junk" in general. SO frustrating!
Oct 15: no scale on vacation. Walking and tracking
Oct 22: no scale. Walking and tracking.
Oct 29: 172.1 walked 75 miles in 15 days. Really thought I would have lost more BUT first time I didn’t gain while in Florida.

Not only most of a kilo, but you can use fewer digits which is GREAT.

Oct 15:- DNW vacation
Oct 22: 208.8 I’ve been working hard on exercising and tracking which seems to be working!
Oct 30: 206.8 - was really close to my goal. Very happy with this month!

My goals are to stick to a balanced diet and exercise regularly in addition to my daily walks.

Oct Start Weight: 171.8
Oct Goal Weight: 165
Ultimate Goal Weight: Somewhere in the 140s

Oct 4: 171.8
Oct 11: 169.2 (-2.6 lbs) Good week! Stuck to exercise, walking, and calorie goals!
Oct 18: 167.6 (-1.6 lbs) I've been sticking to my plan and it's slow... but it's steady so I'll take it!
Oct 25: 166.9 (-0.7 lbs) didn’t exercise as much this week and also didn’t log for a few days so I was grateful for any loss at all.
Oct 29: 166.2 (-0.7 lbs)
Oct 30: — out of town… could not weigh myself
Oct 31: 167.2 (+1) indulged a little this weekend.

Total weight lost in October: 4.6 lbs
I’m happy with this even though the loss is super slow. I’m exercising more regularly and feel a lot better so that’s more important than just the number on the scale.

Trying to keep it up in November!!!

Oct 01: ….187.0 Hopeful for some good progress this month. Good luck everyone!


Oct 03: ….. 187.0 Still waiting.

Oct 10: …..185.6 Much better but this reflects an overnight gain that I’m not too happy about. DD#2 moved back in last night with DGS#4. Age 3. This will be hard to coordinate my special meals and exercise. All during the reno too. House full of people everyday with drywall mud, paint buckets, boxes of bathroom tile and now a TON of toys. I just hope I don’t fall again!

Oct 17: …..186.2…..(Trend Weight 187.2)…..A bit of travel this week, otherwise it was pretty good. Exercise and walking slowing down due to weather and time constraints too. However, the renovations are going a bit better for the most part. Serious lack of privacy in my home, especially since DD and DGS age 3 moved in (and workers here 7 days per week), but even with the inability to exercise indoors, it’s nice to see progress on the project at least! My weight today is my exact starting weight from so I’m hoping I can make progress in the next two weigh-ins.

Oct 24: …. Surgery was almost cancelled as my glucose was at 366 Fasting that morning. They pulled in a total of 5 anesthesiologists to confer. To give me an insulin shot (which I don’t normally take, just pills) would constitute the start of a “treatment plan”. Living 4 hours away and without having planned this, they did not want to start that as it would mean they would have to start following up with appointments etc. They finally got special permission if I was put into twilight but not to the point of sleeping. Lidocain was used to numb which did not work. I felt all 4 cuts and removal (which was actually pretty quick). But it hurt like Haides. Awake, I told them. They renumbed me for the stitches. I considered it all my own fault because they had to so lightly use everything for my surgery. I didn’t eat healthy on the way down and could probably have prepared better. I think I am already beginning to heal, it is itching like heck but still very swollen. I haven’t actually seen it yet as it’s not time to take off the bandages. I’ll closely monitor my healing over the next few days due to the high glucose problem which greatly affects healing. The stitches on the interior will dissolve by themselves. I’m feeling pretty good overall but just a bit wobbly. Now, we wait for pathology which I feel very good about since they had already removed a lot of it and it came up clear. Taking the rest out is a precaution and I feel like it will test okay too. Thanks again to all the wonderful wishes and comments. It’s nice to have the great support that MFP offers in every area. .

Oct 31: ….. This has been a horrid month. Renovations and surgery limited my ability to exercise. My diet has been less than desirable most days since my daughter and grandson moved back in. All excuses aside, I’ve got to change things in November or I will lose all my progress. Gain this month 2.0 lbs.

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Oct 1: 155 lbs - let's go! Have a great month everyone!
Oct 8: 154.6 lbs - really need to work out more and get my activity level up... 😅
Oct 15: 153.6 - Activity level up! Less worried about the scale and more worried about feeling/being healthy... Making moves 🔆
Oct 22: 153 - this weight is being obnoxious 😅. Oh well, living a sustainable life style and feeling better so..... 🤷‍♀️ still working out and eating cleaner.
Oct 29: 151 - I'm happy with this! Not just the number, but living a lifestyle I actually enjoy. My goal has been to just get my recommended servings of fruit and veggies daily. That's so hard! Not hard actually eating them, but finding recipes and meals that are actually balanced like they should be. It's such an eye opener to how little they are in "normal" meals. But I'm finding ways that are delicious and doing 7 minute workouts. Body is feeling good and I don't feel like I could ever burnout.
Oct 31: 151.4 -3.6 lbs down in a month with minimal effort is probably really good. I just really want to cross that threshold to the 140's! November will get it.

Total weight loss/gain to date this month: -8.6 pounds

In 2020, from January to June I had lost 25 pounds, only to regain 15 of them back over the next 14 months. I’m happy to be almost back to where I was last June, but kicking myself for the relapse. Onwards and downwards.
