Just dropping in to say “I tracked.” Since right now that is my only goal, I give myself a pat on the back. @justanotherloser007 I love your statement that the rails are there. Yes, I didn’t realize how much anxiety I was feeling by my efforts being all over the place. The rails are there, and even if I have moments where I am either no on them or stopped or off track, it is better than being all over the place, eating at the whim of unseen forces. Looking forward to tomorrow!6

Didn't think how much sodium in Thanksgiving items. Portions have been fine but high sodium anyway. Foods I want vs what mom wants conflicts so trying to balance that out a bit as best as possible. along with what I get with the produce pickup could put a wrench in it all too.
Have been getting to the gym the 3 days just not too routine with the strength training as I'd like.
December will be an exciting month but also one that may not have much movement scale-wise as I saw last year. To not have a gain is my main goal there.3 -

I didn't have time to check in on Thursday since we were hosting Thanksgiving with the family. We had amazing smoked turkey, roasted veggies and mashed potatoes. I went over my daily calories by about 100 but it wasn't too bad. My parents brought over pies for dessert and insisted on leaving a nearly whole pumpkin pie for my wife and I. As soon as everyone left we decided to throw away the remaining pie to avoid temptation. I felt happy for prioritizing myself instead of feeling bad for wasting food.
I saw a little uptick before Thanksgiving, likely due to the wine festival we attended over the weekend and waaaay too much wine. I had another little up after Thanksgiving but saw my weight drop right back down to a new low once back at my normal routine. Not the goal I was hoping for this month but still happy to see a loss!

I'm seriously looking forward to Christmas from a fitness perspective. One, both of my parents are currently trying to lose weight, so they are supportive of my food choices. Two, my father currently goes on 4 mile walks every morning, and because they live in the warmer southwest, I can throw on a coat and join him. Three, I'm going to be resized for running shoes (I have found my current ones have worn down in the support section and my feet slide around in them. Okay for walking, not for running). I won't have a scale with me (unless I pack mine, lol), but at least I'll be able to get my move on.5

FushiaKat
Week 4
PW = 188.4
CW= 188
57 pounds down, 43 more to goal weight.
Woo met my November goal weight of 188!!
I loving my new Fitbit Versa 2 its linked to MFP and keeping me up to date on extra calories earned and such. It prompts me to walk more steps per hour, I listen when I can. I'm looking forward to next week's weigh-in. I'm going to put up our Christmas tree tomorrow after I get my blood work done for the doctor's visits on Friday.
I'm glad to see everybody is doing so well. Yesterday I was a total idiot, I drove 25 minutes to get my blood work done, but I forgot I have to be fasting. So tomorrow I get to go back and do it all over. I had to get my Jeep serviced today and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. It took 5 hours to get my oil changed and my system updated. Good grief.5 -
@jaded989 congrats on reaching Onederland!!💥🎉👍
@seltzer_lover sorry to hear about your back pain! Hope you’re feeling better now!
Sounds like everyone is doing well!0 -
Hey @FushiaKat are we still the Foggy Sisters? Yes we are!! (((hugs))) *high five* we totally got this!! I am sorry, I know how frustrating it is trying to do things and then just getting overwhelmed. But, I mean, at least we weigh less than we did!!2

Well I didn't get to the 180 or below for November 1, 2021. 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.[/quote]
11/14/21-176.6 lbs, Down 78.4 lbs, about 60 % of my 133 lbs loss goal, 5.2 lbs of my 11/1-1/31/22 (or 2/1/22 AM) 15 lb goal. Have been bumping up my Elliptical, was up to 210 minutes (3.5 hours) Today I did 223 minutes because I wanted to finish the last 10 minutes of the last movie and I wanted the 16 mile mark!
11/21-177.4 lbs, Yuck! But has to be water weight as I stuck to my calorie and water goals. So it's ok. Also I have been losing 10 lbs/month and expected it to slow down a month or 2 ago. Guess it's now.
11/27-175.8 lbs! Down 79.2 total lbs. 6 lbs for my 5 lb month goal!
11/28-175 lbs! Down 80 lbs, 6.8 lbs of my 5 lb month goal! As little as BMI matters, 1 more lb lost and I'll be classified as Overweight not Obese anymore!
11/29-174.2 lbs! So close to OVERWEIGHT. Needed the 174, not 174.2lbs! Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!
11/30- 176.2 lbs Ugh!!! Hopefully my usual uptick before a drop or water weight. Had Mission BBQ last evening. Did 220 minutes on my Elliptical today. Still down 5.6 lbs of my 5 lb goal so content enough. See you all in December!2 -
Maybeeeeee staying up late isn't the best way to keep my tracking going (4 days!), so I am making every effort to get to bed sooner tonight. So it looks like y'all were doing a three-month challenge for the holidays. Is there a group goal for December?--like "just hang in there for the love of all that's holy!" 😁
I will be thinking about my personal goals for December. Rest Well, all!1 -

@RavenStCloud are you around, or is there someone who can start a December thread? I vote for the title Meowscout suggested! 🤣

Well I gained 0.7 lbs in the month which is the first monthly gain I’ve had all year. I hadn’t even noticed that I had met my monthly goal on the 20th. I think Thanksgiving really threw me off. I don’t think next month will be any better. We’ll see I guess!1 -
