September was a challenging month. At the start of the month my period was so heavy that I ended up in hospital and for a few weeks after I felt really weak and eating seemed to help.
Almost as soon as that was over a tooth where the filling had fallen out started to really hurt. I took antibiotics and had a temporary filling out in. Now itβs hard to eat as normal still, and the root canal work wonβt be done until after the end of the monthβ¦ so on the up side itβs easier not to over eat than usual!9 -

Starting a few days late but giving this a shot:
October Start Weight: 218 lbs
October Goal Weight: 213 lbs
Ultimate Goal Weight: 175 lbs
October 4: 218 lbs
October 10: 216.1 lbs - I think I like weighing every week as opposed to every day. Less stress about the fluctuations.

I wouldn't weigh every day or every other day. We all know about daily flucuations so why stress ourselves out needlessly. Although I do get upset when I weigh myself the day before official weighin day out of curiousity and find I'm down 2 lbs and then the day of I've gone back up into the gain zone. So frustrating. But it's all part of the journey. We do the best with what the scale gives us.

If daily weighing causes stress, maybe don't do it. On the other hand, if you understand that there will be daily fluctuations, you can do what I do - I use a spreadsheet and pay more attention to a ten-day rolling average. Better than that, you can use a resource that uses a "weighted moving average" that gives more importance to the most recent weight but also considers the last several days - often ten days.
I can gain or lose many pounds in one day. It goes up and down. Well, lately it's gone up, but I ignore the wild fluctuations to see the real trend. As an example, if I only weighed in one day a week, and if my weigh-in day was Sunday, the last two weeks my daily weight would have been one to three pounds higher than my ten-day average weight.
You can learn more about this in The Hackers Diet, especially the section on "Signal and Noise."
If you can train your brain to ignore the daily number and instead focus on the trend, you'll have better information to work from. With that in mind, weighing multiple times per day is probably NOT a good idea. That's why I weigh first thing in the morning, well second thing in the morning, wearing the same thing - nothing.

My name is Donna. I am 62 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5β 5β tall.
Start Weight (from Sept 30, 2022 ): 198.4
Goal Weight: (5 pound loss) 193.4
End of Challenge Weight: xxxxx
Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (Iβll know it when I get there!)
Weight in blue makes me blue because itβs a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because itβs a loss. Weight in black means no change.
10/01-198.6-(Trend Weight: 198.8)- Normal overnight fluctuation due to no TMI. Good luck everyone this month. Letβs not let that Halloween candy sneak up on us.
10/04-200.2-(Trend Weight: 198.8)- The travel is squashing my dreams!
10/11-198.6-(Trend Weight: 199.5)- OMGosh. My handyman quit on me and I have no idea why. We never had a quarrel or anything. No disputes. He didnβt even tell me, he just blocked my number and now Iβve noticed that his tools are gone. He hasnβt shown up this week or past weekend. I am out of options in this rural area and I still have a torn apart kitchen I can hardly use. So little skilled labor in this area, I just donβt know what Iβm going to do now. Pray for me please and send every good vibe you can. I need help! On the weight loss front, I am glad to see the scale back down to what I was on Oct 1st, but I have 3 separate days of travel this week and that never helps. Trying to stay hopeful on all counts but itβs so hard. Iβll try not to lean on food, I know it doesnβt fix anything.
10/18-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-
10/25-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-
10/31-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Hi Y'all!
I just joined MYFitnessPal about 10 minutes ago.
I absolutely LOVE challenges even though I don't always succeed in doing them every single day. That's why when I saw this group I knew it was where I wanted to "land."
I won't begin in earnest until October 15th because I need to get meal and fitness plans laid out, set my goals, and create a list of weekly or monthly challenges I can rotate through during my weight loss journey. I'm in my 60s have some health challenges, but who doesn't at this age? Even so, I commit to doing my best.
I look forward to making friends here.
To each one of you I wish the very best life can bring.
-HFG
P. S. Is there a way to "subscribe" to this group so it is easy to find?5 -
- Oops. Got my initials backwards.
