My name is Donna. I am 62 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” 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 (I’ll know it when I get there!)
Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s 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. Let’s 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 didn’t even tell me, he just blocked my number and now I’ve noticed that his tools are gone. He hasn’t 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 don’t know what I’m 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 it’s so hard. I’ll try not to lean on food, I know it doesn’t fix anything.
10/18-200.2-(Trend Weight: 200.2)- My week was filled with travel. Restaurants, plenty of sitting etc. etc. I'll try to do better this week. On another note, I would like to remind everyone that this is breast cancer awareness month. Please don’t forget to do a very good self-check and schedule your mammogram. It saves lives and your life is important! I hope you will also remind the men in your lives to get their prostate checked.

Week 1 note: This week has been really good for me. Having this challenge in the back of my mind I’ve had to force myself out of my comfort zone. By doing that, I’m feeling more motivated and determined this week.
I’ve done three one-hour HIIT workouts since the initial weigh-in. Finding back to my energy and my motivation to eat more protein. If I have periods of little to no training, I find it so difficult to force huge amounts of protein in 😂
In my opinion, I find it so much easier to avoid binging or snacking when I’m eating big amounts of protein too, there just ain’t enough room for it.
Week 2 note: Riding on a wave of motivation right now, which feels so great! Did 4 HIIT workouts during week 2 and I have consistently stayed within my calorie goal.
My focus for the week ahead is to incorporate more daily life activity outside of workouts. I have a sedetary job and don’t really do anything outside my planned workouts.
The focus will be to go for atleast a couple of walks during the week and get up every hour and do a little walk around to get the blood flowing.
Week 3 note: Feeling appreciative of the MFP community and this type of challenges. I feel like if you make a super big deal out of the weightloss journey it’s much harder to derail. It’s kinda worth more when you have a sense of community surrounding you.
Did 6 workouts since my last weigh-in which includes 2 longer walks and 4 HIIT training sessions. Until my next workout I’m really going to hard focus on eating a higher amount of protein and lower amount of carbs. Aiming for 128g of protein a day, wish me luck 😂👌🏻

Total loss for October My little tiny celebration is that I'm down just a tiny tiny bit from last week, but I am still on a general trend of gaining the last few months including this month. My challenge for the next nine days is to see if I can finish October with an actual loss back towards my maintenance range.

I weighed myself this morning and the first weight was low, lower than I expected. So I double checked, and then it was higher. And so I checked again and again and again. Ugh. It's OK. I know the readings are just a general gauge of where I'm at, but it was frustrating this morning. I am writing this as much for myself, when I look back on these postings, to remind myself that the numbers are vague. It's all the process and this week, I had some good non-weight specific health results. And that's the point.

@AllyNorth
How old are the batteries in your scale? Readings can get less accurate when the battery is low.
Is there anything stuck to the little rubber feet (LRF) that might affect it, like pet fur? Having something that squishes can affect the reading too.
Yeah. LRF. Used to be sometimes if you called the IT Help Desk they'd ask if your machine had LRF support. It was kind of funny.3 -

I am ready to go at this once again. Last month I lost zilch and year to date I am up 5. I swear if you have the formula for success please share because my plans are not working. A couple of years ago I went low carb and lost about 8 and quit yoyoing for once. I gained it back and then some last holiday season and just can not make any headway. Even low carb doesn't seem to work. However, I am continuing to battle on and confident I will figure this out at some point. Best wishes to all for a great month.

10/25-199.8-(Trend Weight: 200.5)- Up & Down all week (thus the trend weight) but rounded it out with an overall bit of a loss. So far, I’m staying away from the Halloween Candy and sticking to my sugar-free when I’m tempted. I need to lose 1.4 pounds this round just to break even with starting weight. I got this!
