Total weight lost - 12.6lbs
Finally getting back to normal! My TOM bloat is insane. I think I can go up as much as 8lbs when it's that time of the month!
I'm hopeful that I'll lose another lb or 2 before we leave for Disneyland, and I'm even more hopeful that I'll continue to lose when we're there!5 -

Ayyy! I was not expecting to see a loss this week, so this was a nice thing to wake up to. Also, Crushvemberween was a success!
I might-could see Onederland by the end of this month, and I'm well on track to meet my challenge goal for the r/LoseIt Cryptid Hunt (203 by 11/19). I'm excited for all of that and I'm hoping I can keep my grip on that excitement to stay on-track over the next couple of weeks. Hubs' surgery got moved around FOUR times - I get that his case isn't life-and-death and medical scheduling involves keeping a lot of plates spinning at once and things happen, but there's also hella logistics on the patient side, guys! Get it together! At this point we have a date and time (11/9 8:50 AM), but from all the schedule *kitten*ery last week I don't think I can relax until it's actually over. A morning time slot should work out better, though - he won't have to fast as long, and I don't have to sit here and gnaw my own hands off with anxiety all day long. Just the morning, LMAO. The surgeon says what he has planned should take about 4 hours, so if he goes in at, call it 9 AM, he should be out by noonish.
I'm off Monday and Tuesday, possibly Wednesday depending on how Tuesday goes, and Thursday is a holiday so I'd be off that day regardless. I've told my boss I will, at minimum, make an appearance on Friday morning for our team meeting and to follow up on some stuff. I have some cooking projects I'm planning to tackle during my time off, but I also need to strike a balance between prepping meals and storing them - I've volunteered to handle the turkey for Thanksgiving this year, so that's taking up about half of my freezer space at this moment in time, and there's nothing to be done about that for a couple of weeks, yet. I'm planning to make a big pot of Cincinnati chili because it's one of Hubs' favorites, and I have some odds and ends I want to turn into Something (a spaghetti squash, a head of cabbage, a pound of ground beef, some carrots, some leftover pasta sauce - I can see the shape of a dish emerging, I just gotta get in there and make it).8 -

I am thrilled with this loss as I was at a work conference this week and went over my calories, had a few treats, and alcohol.

Almost forgot to post today! Went out last night and had a super lazy day today. The majority of my steps were actually from after midnight but before I went to sleep, lol. For my NSV, I was finally able to fit into (some of) my size 16 jeans! It feels so nice to wear clothes that actually show my shape instead of wearing saggy, unflattering jeans :-) There are still some other 16s that I can't quite fit in yet, but that just means I've got some more clothes for a couple months from now.
Goals for November:
- Add at least 1 day a week weight training❌
- Min 15 min cardio 5x per week: ✔
- At least 8 glasses water daily✔
- Be thoughtful with my intake at Thanksgiving. N/A5 -

November goals:- Stay on track logging everything
- Eat healthy snacks
- Get back into a strength training routine
- Keep my stress levels to a minimum - not let people or things get to me
- Get as close to 15K steps a day as possible.
Ugh. I had this long post typed out with responses to other posts then my computer crashed and I lost everything.
I didn't do as well as I would have liked for October but I still made progress. My goal for November and December is to do even better. I had to replace my Fitbit as mine was old and stopped working. I was on a 57 day step streak for meeting my daily steps then I lost my streak. I have been averaging between 12-14K steps a day. I am going to challenge myself and aim for 15K.
@goal06082021
I am happy to hear about the results of your husband's MRI. That is fantastic news.
Congrats on the pumpkin success. I loved watching you crush it!
@Wanderingin98198
I also was diagnosed with Type 2 in March. Congrats on your success so far.
@SammiGirl1321
I love the costumes and pictures. Thanks for sharing!
@Ladybug8882021
I have Fitbit too. Feel free to add me if you need more friends on there. I am JNettie73 and have the same profile picture that I do on here. Right now I have a trial of premium, I can invite you to some challenges. I find then fun and motivating.

Age: 58
Ht.: 5'3"
MFP SW: 205 (7/5/21)
October Ending weight: 195
Current Weight:196.4
My usual weigh in day is on Friday. I knew I was gaining and just couldn't bring myself to get on the scale until this morning and I MADE myself do it.
I have not made any progress since returning to work after summer break. I don't know why I keep allowing myself to get into this self destructive cycle. I'm not getting any younger and I really would like to be around to see my sons get married and have families of their own. My mother passed away at 64, her mother at 68, I don't want to fall into that statistic. Each day I grow closer to that age. I've missed my mom so much and she's missed out on watching how much my brothers' families and my family has grown.
So... I'm starting over AGAIN today. Sucking it up and hoping by Friday, my normal weigh in day that at least I can get back to 195 where I was before the gain.
Goal for the end of November is to be 192.
Thank you MPF family for always being there and understanding. I hope you all have a wonderful, successful week!

I struggle with self-destructive tendencies as well. Especially an all-or-nothing mentality. I seem to think that one "bad" food means the day is shot and leads to a bad day, then a bad few days, then it's "I'll start again on Monday, the first of the month, etc."
This time I'm focusing on progress rather than perfection. If I have a "bad" food or go over my daily calories, I log it, and work to do better with my next choice.
Getting started is a huge percentage of the battle. You've got this.3 -
Today, I saw 50lbs down. It probably won't last, as I ate a TON of veggies yesterday, resulting in a...shall we say faster than usual GI clearance. But, I'm taking it. My family is having Thanksgiving dinner today (due to some vacations for actual Thanksgiving). I'm hoping to at least keep it reasonable, but will likely go over my goal.6

Not sure if I should be still posting in this group, but I started in June 1, 2021 at 212, so I've kept in it.
Starting weight for November 169.8
November 7 168.2
Hope to lose - I'd love to lose eight pounds more and be back on track, but I have been losing more slowly lately, so I'll settle for five.

@patriciafoley1 Fine by me if you keep posting here!2

Well I didn't get to the 180 or below. Had an uptick to 181.8 lbs but I was true to my calories, carbs, water and exercise so just a normal weight fluctuation. So I lost 30.2 lbs during the 3 month challenge. Which is excellent!
So starting 11/1 at 181.8 lbs with goal of 5 lbs for the month. This 10 lb average / month that has been going on has got to slow down soon, I'm thinking.
Welcome back to past challengers and to the new ones!
64 yo 5' 4" Heaviest Weight twice-255 lbs, got down to 122 lbs 2010 and kept it off 5 years then got lazy.
11/1/21-181.8 lbs
11/7/21-180 lbs! Down 75 lbs. 58 lbs to my 122 lb goal. Did 200 minutes on my Elliptical today, 14.25 miles.3 -
@patriciafoley1 You can keep posting, I have seen some ladies post here all the way until maintenance.3

@patriciafoley1 - please do keep posting here, you give us all hope! 🙏
@JNettie73 - I don't have any friends on Fitbit, have never participated in that community and I appreciate the offer! I am a little over 6000 steps today. Which is a new high for me since I strapped it on again 😉
I am at the airport, waiting to board my flight to Kauai, already enjoying my vacation 😎 plan to continue tracking and being active while away.

@Ladybug8882021
Have a wonderful time! Safe travels. I've been to Hawaii 3 times (the big island and Oahu twice) and had wonderful times! Not sure if I'll ever get the chance to go back again.3 -
@Ladybug8882021 have fun in hawaii!
@patriciafoley1 definitely keep posting, you're an inspiration!
I have Cooked Some Food this weekend, ladies.
My "odds and ends" dish ended up being basically eggroll filling (a riff on the old "egg roll in a bowl" that's apparently really popular in paleo circles, based on the google results I was getting?? ah, yes, the egg roll, a staple of the pre-agricultural revolutionary diet. /s) - thin-sliced cabbage, spaghetti squash, ground beef mixed with a dressing made of garlic, ginger, fish sauce, rice vinegar, gochujang, and honey. I'll use the rest of the pasta sauce for something else, probably. Then, to use up some of the huge bag of kale I had, I made a quick minestrone soup in my Instant Pot - I'll serve that with some fun colorful spooky pasta I picked up at Aldi last month. And finally, I made a big eggplant lasagna (using the rest of the kale in the tomato sauce part), that's mostly for me but hopefully Hubs will be home in time to enjoy some of it as well. It won't freeze very well because of the eggplant.4 -
