Happy Thanksgiving to our USA posters : - )

I am Dawn. 61 years old, 5'2"
MFP start weight 191, October 28.18
I have gained quite a bit over the last few months, time to turn that around.
Setting an aggressive Goal weight for November.
11/01 - 137.1
11/02 - 136.4 - Had a beautiful rare striploin and blackened prawns for dinner, Kanjac angel hair with fresh garlic, parmesan, and sour cream to accompany it. I ate half of all of it. Felt full for the first time in quite a while. Beef and prawns...I don't eat very often, must have needed the protein. I guess that I will be having it again tonight.
11/03 - 135.6 - Happy to see this coming down. Late dinners are becoming the norm because of my work schedule over the last few months and months to come. Maybe my body is getting used to it.
11/04 - 135.3 - I feel like Tina and I have been so close in weight whether we were gaining or losing. Of course she is 4" taller than me.
11/05 - 135.0 - Put on 4 pounds in one day on Thanksgiving, will it be 4 months to take off one day of delicious eating? I want this to be sustainable, I want to be able to eat fattening food here and there.
11/06 - 136.5 - Argh
11/07 - 137.5 - Lots of activity and healthy food. Totally don't understand this gain. Disheartening.
11/08 - 136.9 - Okay, better than yesterday, but still way too high. My check-in on MFP and pedometre are still at 130.6 - I don't think that I will be measuring and checking in again until I am under that amount
11/09 - 136.2 - What happened to the 135.0 from a few days ago?
11/10 - 135.9 - Thanks for the props friends. Planning to be indulgent tonight after work though, eating clean and exercising lots is no longer working for me. Driving out of town for work, so there will be less activity today. Not exactly giving up. My weight has fluctuated wildly every day from 191 pounds until now.
11/11 - 137.0 - New Format! I had Ribs and cocktails last night. Back to Chicken Breasts and Veggies : - )
11/12 - 137.2 - Hopefully topped out after Ribs and will begin to see it go down. However, back to late dinners because of my work schedule for the next couple of days.
11/13 - 137.1 - As usual, one day to put it on and many more than that to take it off. Plugging away.
11/14 - 136.4 - Glad to see a bit of a drop.
11/15 - 136.3 -Okay I guess.
11/16 - 137.8 -?? - I was on point with food choices and exercise, and even had dinner finished before 7pm. Argh. I will try not to get too upset with this, maybe just a fluctuation. Tomorrow will tell.
11/17 - 137.5 - What worked to help me lose 50 pounds seems to not be working now, but I am not willing to cut calories any more, and there is not enough time in the day for more activity than I already do. Going to keep trying nevertheless.
11/18 - 136.5 - Not ideal, but better. Somehow down a pound overnight. I didn't do anything differently.
11/19 - 137.4 - It is back. I was cruising around 131-132 for months. Disappointed, but I will just keep trying.
11/20 - DNW - I was up very early, and drinking water, coffee, juice...just didn't weigh.
11/21 - 139.2 - Up 5 pounds from this time last year. I had a muffin yesterday, 450 calories. Hadn't had a muffin in years. It was really yummy, kind of glad that I had it even though it probably affected my weight.
11/22 - 137.6 - Okay. There is hope that I can get below my start weight for the month. Day shifts only this week, so earlier dinners I believe will help.
11/23 - 136.6 - Oh, I hope that this continues to drop now that my shifts have changed to enable a normal dinner hour : - )
11/24 - 135.6 - Not the 130.6 that I was at before beginning to gain like crazy, but very very happy to see the continued dropping.
11/25 - 135.2 - The only thing that I am doing differently is being able to eat dinner earlier. Actually, I have also added Oatmeal into my daily, but I do that every year as the temps fall - I make 4 servings, put them in containers and take one to work each day. This batch includes Cranberry Sauce and Walnuts (and cinnamon of course). 100 calorie servings.

**************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************
11/01…...189.4…..(Trend Weight 187.7)….. Pizza, Candy and all things Halloween. Not good.
11/02.…..189.0…..(Trend Weight 187.8)….. Scale down, trend up and that is something to work on! With all the medical travel and surgery behind me, I hope to start seeing more willpower and weight loss in my November.
11/03.…..189.0…..(Trend Weight 187.9}….. Good news from the University Hospital. No sign of any cancer in the lumpectomy. Yay! Feeling wonderful today and filled with hope for the future. Today is my daughter’s birthday who lives with me again. There will be cake, ice cream and a special dinner. The calories and carbs will be out the window, but I will still practice portion control and look brightly to my days ahead and my future overall. God is Good.
11/04.…..189.6…..(Trend Weight 188.1)….. Okay. The celebrations are all over. Today I will pawn the leftovers off on my workers and make a good dietary plan regardless of what the others in the house do. Today I take my grandsons to their hair appointments. I always get them lunch or dinner afterward (dinner today because it’s a school day). I will not be ordering for myself. Getting serious here . I need a good streak!
11/05.…..188.8…..(Trend Weight 188.2)….. I was much more mindful of my diet yesterday, as planned. Not a lot of exercise or water due to being extra busy. However, my trend weight is still going up due to my choices over the past two weeks. Time to turn that around too. Mini-goal, get that trend weight turning in the opposite direction!
11/06.…..188.0…..(Trend Weight 188.2)….. Progress!
11/07.…..189.0…..(Trend Weight 188.2)….. A day very similar to yesterday but with no TMI, I am showing the expected gain. It’s disheartening but all part of the journey. Raking today should bring in more steps and calorie burn. I want to focus on a very healthy dinner tonight again too even though it is daughter’s day off and she is a foodie.
11/08.…..189.2…..(Trend Weight 188.2)…..I burned over 700 calories just on yard raking yesterday but clearly, you can’t outrun the fork!
11/09.…..189.6…..(Trend Weight 188.4)….. No TMI again. Very early weigh-in after, essentially, no sleep and all those other excuses. Yesterday it was not on my daughter. It was on me. I know what good habits are. I know what low calorie is and what low carb can do to help me. I recognize the right foods. It’s time to stop glancing at it all and start staring at what I need to do. It has been out of control since just before my surgery.
11/10.…..189.6…..(Trend Weight 188.6)….. bingeing is not the way to lose weight. I’ve got to get control here!
11/11.…..189.6…..(Trend Weight 188.6)….. I hate the new format. Very boring to look at and does not promote the want to use. If my vote counts, I vote no!
11/12.…..189.4…..(Trend Weight 188.8)….. Still navigating the new format and still hating it. Dr. appointment yesterday revealed that I will need to see a cardiologist after I failed the two pre-op EKG’s. I also will need to see an endocronologist for my T2D. Time to get serious about my diet and exercise plans again!
11/13.…..189.2…..(Trend Weight 189.0)…..Traveling today.
11/14.…..191.0…..(Trend Weight 189.2)….. Traveled yesterday. Weight showed up from dinner out and lots of car driving (inactivity). I’ll work it off today as much as possible. Obviously I am disappointed that one meal would make such a negative difference.
11/15……191.0…..(Trend Weight 189.3)…..
11/16……189.6…..(Trend Weight 189.4)….. Meals were perfectly on point yesterday although exercise level was low. So happy for this drop. I snuck into DGS Halloween basket last night. That needs to no become a habit.
11/17.…..189.8…..(Trend Weight 189.4)….. Epic Fail. I made a big dinner for the entire crew last night that is doing my home renovations. It was healthy but a little too hardy since I ate too much! Back at it today.
11/18.…..190.8…..(Trend Weight 189.8)….. Travel yesterday was unexpected and I didn’t get home until 8:30 PM. Only slightly over 5000 steps, not enough water, lots of sitting in car and restaurant for late lunch/dinner. I’m surprised scale isn’t up more so I’m nervous that a bigger number will pop up in the coming days (right before Thanksgiving ugh!). Pushing water today.
11/19.…..190.2…..(Trend Weight 189.8)…..A nice little drop today. I rolled up my sleeves and put in some extra work on the dietary front. It could have been better honestly but I’ll work even harder on it today. No more finishing my grandson’s (wasted) food on his plate when he’s finished with things many many times a day. I had forgotten what it was like to have young children in the house and be the food vacuum. #ItChangesNowThatI’veNoticedIt.
11/20.…..187.6…..(Trend Weight 189.5)….. A huge drop due to an overdue TMI (potty). That probably left me dehydrated a bit so I’ll drink lots of water today and expect a bit of an uptick tomorrow. Overall, yesterday was a imperfect but pretty good dietary day. It is nice to see myself back with the 7 on the end of my weight. I don’t really feel firm in a decade until I see that 7 because of easy fluctuations. Hanging on by my fingertips until Thanksgiving. I don’t want a gain BEFORE the holidays too, but I can handle normal small fluctuations.
11/21.…..188.4…..(Trend Weight 189.4)….. I am happy to see my trend weight going back down. I feel this is my true weight after a very large drop yesterday where I was likely dehydrated. I’ve got to log my food DAILY! It makes all the difference…..
11/22.…..187.2…..(Trend Weight 189.2)….. A nice drop on the scale after delayed TMI. Travel today will not help the cause but I will try to choose carefully.
11/23.…..189.6…..(Trend Weight 189.2)….. After travel weight. Little movement. Little water. Good quantities at the restaurants for lunch and dinner but the choices could have been a bit better, but not too bad. Dessert was not a good idea.
11/24.…..191.0…..(Trend Weight 189.7)….. Emotional eating which I know helps nothing. Emotional binge for sure. Dinner is Sunday. I’m making something small for me & son and one handyman that is here today. I’ll keep it in better control!
11/25.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)…..

Thanksgiving is wasn’t too bad for me. I was very busy cleaning and hosting so I moved around a lot the past couple of days. Out of town all weekend for a friend’s birthday celebration at the beach so I’m going to have to really try hard to stay in the zone!

It could have been better honestly but I’ll work even harder on it today. No more finishing my grandson’s (wasted) food on his plate when he’s finished with things many many times a day. I had forgotten what it was like to have young children in the house and be the food vacuum. #ItChangesNowThatI’veNoticedIt.
11/20.…..187.6…..(Trend Weight 189.5)….. A huge drop due to an overdue TMI (potty). That probably left me dehydrated a bit so I’ll drink lots of water today and expect a bit of an uptick tomorrow. Overall, yesterday was a imperfect but pretty good dietary day. It is nice to see myself back with the 7 on the end of my weight. I don’t really feel firm in a decade until I see that 7 because of easy fluctuations. Hanging on by my fingertips until Thanksgiving. I don’t want a gain BEFORE the holidays too, but I can handle normal small fluctuations.
11/21.…..188.4…..(Trend Weight 189.4)….. I am happy to see my trend weight going back down. I feel this is my true weight after a very large drop yesterday where I was likely dehydrated. I’ve got to log my food DAILY! It makes all the difference…..
11/22.…..187.2…..(Trend Weight 189.2)….. A nice drop on the scale after delayed TMI. Travel today will not help the cause but I will try to choose carefully.
11/23.…..189.6…..(Trend Weight 189.2)….. After travel weight. Little movement. Little water. Good quantities at the restaurants for lunch and dinner but the choices could have been a bit better, but not too bad. Dessert was not a good idea.
11/24.…..191.0…..(Trend Weight 189.7)….. Emotional eating which I know helps nothing. Emotional binge for sure. Dinner is Sunday. I’m making something small for me & son and one handyman that is here today. I’ll keep it in better control!
11/25.…..193.4…..(Trend Weight 189.8)….. I made a smaller version of Thanksgiving dinner last night for myself, son and a handyman that was here. Late dinner at 9:00 PM and early rise and weigh-in this morning. Shocked but it was a lot of starch with the mashed potatoes, gravy and dinner rolls (among other things). My big family feast will be on Sunday and that’s when the pies come out! Yikes! Me and pies are like besties! I don’t have them any other time of the year but holidays so I know I will be partaking which will likely make these numbers worse. What can I do today and tomorrow (before the big feast) to help? Well……a lot. A WHOLE LOT.

I am Dawn. 61 years old, 5'2"
MFP start weight 191, October 28.18
I have gained quite a bit over the last few months, time to turn that around.
Setting an aggressive Goal weight for November.
11/01 - 137.1
11/02 - 136.4 - Had a beautiful rare striploin and blackened prawns for dinner, Kanjac angel hair with fresh garlic, parmesan, and sour cream to accompany it. I ate half of all of it. Felt full for the first time in quite a while. Beef and prawns...I don't eat very often, must have needed the protein. I guess that I will be having it again tonight.
11/03 - 135.6 - Happy to see this coming down. Late dinners are becoming the norm because of my work schedule over the last few months and months to come. Maybe my body is getting used to it.
11/04 - 135.3 - I feel like Tina and I have been so close in weight whether we were gaining or losing. Of course she is 4" taller than me.
11/05 - 135.0 - Put on 4 pounds in one day on Thanksgiving, will it be 4 months to take off one day of delicious eating? I want this to be sustainable, I want to be able to eat fattening food here and there.
11/06 - 136.5 - Argh
11/07 - 137.5 - Lots of activity and healthy food. Totally don't understand this gain. Disheartening.
11/08 - 136.9 - Okay, better than yesterday, but still way too high. My check-in on MFP and pedometre are still at 130.6 - I don't think that I will be measuring and checking in again until I am under that amount
11/09 - 136.2 - What happened to the 135.0 from a few days ago?
11/10 - 135.9 - Thanks for the props friends. Planning to be indulgent tonight after work though, eating clean and exercising lots is no longer working for me. Driving out of town for work, so there will be less activity today. Not exactly giving up. My weight has fluctuated wildly every day from 191 pounds until now.
11/11 - 137.0 - New Format! I had Ribs and cocktails last night. Back to Chicken Breasts and Veggies : - )
11/12 - 137.2 - Hopefully topped out after Ribs and will begin to see it go down. However, back to late dinners because of my work schedule for the next couple of days.
11/13 - 137.1 - As usual, one day to put it on and many more than that to take it off. Plugging away.
11/14 - 136.4 - Glad to see a bit of a drop.
11/15 - 136.3 -Okay I guess.
11/16 - 137.8 -?? - I was on point with food choices and exercise, and even had dinner finished before 7pm. Argh. I will try not to get too upset with this, maybe just a fluctuation. Tomorrow will tell.
11/17 - 137.5 - What worked to help me lose 50 pounds seems to not be working now, but I am not willing to cut calories any more, and there is not enough time in the day for more activity than I already do. Going to keep trying nevertheless.
11/18 - 136.5 - Not ideal, but better. Somehow down a pound overnight. I didn't do anything differently.
11/19 - 137.4 - It is back. I was cruising around 131-132 for months. Disappointed, but I will just keep trying.
11/20 - DNW - I was up very early, and drinking water, coffee, juice...just didn't weigh.
11/21 - 139.2 - Up 5 pounds from this time last year. I had a muffin yesterday, 450 calories. Hadn't had a muffin in years. It was really yummy, kind of glad that I had it even though it probably affected my weight.
11/22 - 137.6 - Okay. There is hope that I can get below my start weight for the month. Day shifts only this week, so earlier dinners I believe will help.
11/23 - 136.6 - Oh, I hope that this continues to drop now that my shifts have changed to enable a normal dinner hour : - )
11/24 - 135.6 - Not the 130.6 that I was at before beginning to gain like crazy, but very very happy to see the continued dropping.
11/25 - 135.2 - The only thing that I am doing differently is being able to eat dinner earlier. Actually, I have also added Oatmeal into my daily, but I do that every year as the temps fall - I make 4 servings, put them in containers and take one to work each day. This batch includes Cranberry Sauce and Walnuts (and cinnamon of course). 100 calorie servings.
11/26 - 137.0 - Ouch. Hoping that it is just a fluctuation.

I cannot just give up and throw in the towel! Of course my attitude when facing food is "I don't give a flying fig". That changes today. I'm not going to let the scale tip to 210 (especially since I saw 201 during the summer). I don't need an extra layer of fat to keep me warm during the winter!

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

My big family feast will be on Sunday and that’s when the pies come out! Yikes! Me and pies are like besties! I don’t have them any other time of the year but holidays so I know I will be partaking which will likely make these numbers worse. What can I do today and tomorrow (before the big feast) to help? Well……a lot. A WHOLE LOT.

I am Dawn. 61 years old, 5'2"
MFP start weight 191, October 28.18
I have gained quite a bit over the last few months, time to turn that around.
Setting an aggressive Goal weight for November.
11/01 - 137.1
11/02 - 136.4 - Had a beautiful rare striploin and blackened prawns for dinner, Kanjac angel hair with fresh garlic, parmesan, and sour cream to accompany it. I ate half of all of it. Felt full for the first time in quite a while. Beef and prawns...I don't eat very often, must have needed the protein. I guess that I will be having it again tonight.
11/03 - 135.6 - Happy to see this coming down. Late dinners are becoming the norm because of my work schedule over the last few months and months to come. Maybe my body is getting used to it.
11/04 - 135.3 - I feel like Tina and I have been so close in weight whether we were gaining or losing. Of course she is 4" taller than me.
11/05 - 135.0 - Put on 4 pounds in one day on Thanksgiving, will it be 4 months to take off one day of delicious eating? I want this to be sustainable, I want to be able to eat fattening food here and there.
11/06 - 136.5 - Argh
11/07 - 137.5 - Lots of activity and healthy food. Totally don't understand this gain. Disheartening.
11/08 - 136.9 - Okay, better than yesterday, but still way too high. My check-in on MFP and pedometre are still at 130.6 - I don't think that I will be measuring and checking in again until I am under that amount
11/09 - 136.2 - What happened to the 135.0 from a few days ago?
11/10 - 135.9 - Thanks for the props friends. Planning to be indulgent tonight after work though, eating clean and exercising lots is no longer working for me. Driving out of town for work, so there will be less activity today. Not exactly giving up. My weight has fluctuated wildly every day from 191 pounds until now.
11/11 - 137.0 - New Format! I had Ribs and cocktails last night. Back to Chicken Breasts and Veggies : - )
11/12 - 137.2 - Hopefully topped out after Ribs and will begin to see it go down. However, back to late dinners because of my work schedule for the next couple of days.
11/13 - 137.1 - As usual, one day to put it on and many more than that to take it off. Plugging away.
11/14 - 136.4 - Glad to see a bit of a drop.
11/15 - 136.3 -Okay I guess.
11/16 - 137.8 -?? - I was on point with food choices and exercise, and even had dinner finished before 7pm. Argh. I will try not to get too upset with this, maybe just a fluctuation. Tomorrow will tell.
11/17 - 137.5 - What worked to help me lose 50 pounds seems to not be working now, but I am not willing to cut calories any more, and there is not enough time in the day for more activity than I already do. Going to keep trying nevertheless.
11/18 - 136.5 - Not ideal, but better. Somehow down a pound overnight. I didn't do anything differently.
11/19 - 137.4 - It is back. I was cruising around 131-132 for months. Disappointed, but I will just keep trying.
11/20 - DNW - I was up very early, and drinking water, coffee, juice...just didn't weigh.
11/21 - 139.2 - Up 5 pounds from this time last year. I had a muffin yesterday, 450 calories. Hadn't had a muffin in years. It was really yummy, kind of glad that I had it even though it probably affected my weight.
11/22 - 137.6 - Okay. There is hope that I can get below my start weight for the month. Day shifts only this week, so earlier dinners I believe will help.
11/23 - 136.6 - Oh, I hope that this continues to drop now that my shifts have changed to enable a normal dinner hour : - )
11/24 - 135.6 - Not the 130.6 that I was at before beginning to gain like crazy, but very very happy to see the continued dropping.
11/25 - 135.2 - The only thing that I am doing differently is being able to eat dinner earlier. Actually, I have also added Oatmeal into my daily, but I do that every year as the temps fall - I make 4 servings, put them in containers and take one to work each day. This batch includes Cranberry Sauce and Walnuts (and cinnamon of course). 100 calorie servings.
11/26 - 137.0 - Ouch. Hoping that it is just a fluctuation.
11/27 - 137.5 - Not happy about this, and don't get it. I was well within calories and had lots of activity. Groan

November Tracker 6 -
Hello again, everyone!!
My name is Ana. Some months after my husband passed away I was at my highest weight (180 lbs). 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 make myself accountable for my own health.
Highest Weight 2012: 180 lbs
2021 Highest (June): 156.4 lbs
November Start: 138.4
Ultimate goal: Be fit and at a healthy weight.
November Goal: My goal thus far has been to diet and exercise until I've reached and maintained 121 lb by the end of July of 2022. However, after deep reflection-and with some fear-, I've decided that for this month, my goal will be SELF LOVE and COMPASSION. This month:
1. I will weigh myself ONLY at the end of the month
2. I will exercise 4/5x a week to tone muscle
3. I will keep track of calories to maintain weight
11/06: Weekly goal accomplished-ish? After deep thought, I decided that SELF-LOVE and COMPASSION will be my healthiest and hardest goal for the month and I want to stick to it with the same fierceness that I did when my goal was to shed weight.
I planned my meals, tracked calories and listened to my satiety cues. I ate treats that were somewhat wholesome and nutritious. I didn't formally exercise but walked to work 4x even though it was very cold. I listened to my body's need to sleep over my anxiety to workout every morning.
I struggle with fear that I will gain back weight if I go back to consuming enough calories to maintain. I struggle with the compulsion to explain my decisions (am I trying to convince myself or to not be judged?)
11/13 I tried my best to keep track of calories. I wasn't the best at exercising since it was almost a week off of work for me. Still, I think I did okay. I tried to really rest and spent time doing things that I like.
11/20 Even though I eat more calories than before, I want treats at night and have available-but pre-portioned- Halloween junk that I've been eating on. I'm planning on stuffing my stash inside Christmas presents (is that genius, or evil? 🤔).
I've continued to exercise and take rest days.
I had to get weighed at the Dr's office last Wednesday, it was freeing to learn that I am not gaining weight but I continue to struggle with fear that I will.
11/28 I walked, exercised at home and struggled making myself move after rest days. Last week I ate more than my allowed calories EVERY DAY, sometimes by a lot, so I'm truly concerned even though my pants still fit okay. On the bright side, I've enjoyed spending time with my daughter back from college and I hope that shopping walks and Christmas decorating help burn all the yummy foods that I've been consuming 😅
I also hope that we all feel proud to be invested in our health, with all the ups and downs that weight loss brings about. Love to everyone! 💖
-A
Goals of the week:
1. Delicious, nutritious, filling, low cal meals
2. Listen to my satiety cues
3. Sleep at least 7 hrs every night
4. Continue morning exercise 4-5x/week
5. Continue walking to work 3-4x/week

I cannot just give up and throw in the towel! Of course my attitude when facing food is "I don't give a flying fig". That changes today. I'm not going to let the scale tip to 210 (especially since I saw 201 during the summer). I don't need an extra layer of fat to keep me warm during the winter!

11/23.…..189.6…..(Trend Weight 189.2)….. After travel weight. Little movement. Little water. Good quantities at the restaurants for lunch and dinner but the choices could have been a bit better, but not too bad. Dessert was not a good idea.
11/24.…..191.0…..(Trend Weight 189.7)….. Emotional eating which I know helps nothing. Emotional binge for sure. Dinner is Sunday. I’m making something small for me & son and one handyman that is here today. I’ll keep it in better control!
11/25.…..193.4…..(Trend Weight 189.8)….. I made a smaller version of Thanksgiving dinner last night for myself, son and a handyman that was here. Late dinner at 9:00 PM and early rise and weigh-in this morning. Shocked but it was a lot of starch with the mashed potatoes, gravy and dinner rolls (among other things). My big family feast will be on Sunday and that’s when the pies come out! Yikes! Me and pies are like besties! I don’t have them any other time of the year but holidays so I know I will be partaking which will likely make these numbers worse. What can I do today and tomorrow (before the big feast) to help? Well……a lot. A WHOLE LOT.
11/26.…..191.0…..(Trend Weight 189.9)…… Our feast is tomorrow. I’ll make another good day today to offset as best I can. I chose wisely yesterday for my snacks.
11/27.…..…..(Trend Weight)
11/28.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)…… Somewhere I missed a day. Ugh. Anyway, this is being posted on the accurate day! Today is our family feast. I’m a little worried about the pies as holidays are about the only times of year we have them. Control….Control….Control.
