Hi everyone!
I'm starting my Thanksgiving travel so won't have access to my scale but made progress before I left -
Challenge - lose 11.2 pounds by Jan 1 (I.e. get to 150)
Starting 11/8 161.2 pounds
Current 11/21 158.6 pounds
Have a good day -6 -
My name is Donna. I am 62 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall.
CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 15 pounds to land at 182.8
CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM Oct 31): 197.8
CHALLENGE ENDING WEIGHT:
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s
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.
11/01-199.8-(Trend Weight: 200.2)- Was it the travel weight, the Halloween candy, or the 3 hours of sleep last night? Moving forward, but remembering in the Book of Psalms that it says in part “My life is continually in my hands……”
11/07-198.8-(Trend Weight: 199.9)- I lost one full pound during Halloween week. I count that as a win.
11/14-197.6-(Trend Weight: 199.1)- The scale hasn’t tipped this low since September so I feel like this is an opportunity. Travel tomorrow and Thursday. I’ve got to hang on to my progress!
11/21-198.6-(Trend Weight: 198.7)- One month ago on 10/21 I weighed 201.8 with a trend weight of 200.4. I needed to look back because I was feeling defeated today even though the trend weight went down. I can see that I am making progress even though it is slow. I need to lose more than 2 pounds in a month but at least it is in the right direction! Thanksgiving week. That is a challenge for us all who celebrate this week.

Hello, I'm a little late but would love to join!
I've lost 27.5 kg 60.6lbs since march last year by making small changes and trying to learn to eat intuitively but I've plateaued the last few months so thought I would give calorie counting a go again. I have another 22.5 kg 49.6lbs to go all up
Hoping to lose the 6.8 kg 15lbs by the end of the challenge period but honestly will be happy even with half that just to break this plateau.
My goal is to aim for sticking to my calorie allowance, and get 10k steps per day.
Nov 1 start date: 88.2 kg 194.4lbs
Nov 8 88.2 kg 194.4 lbs
Nov 15 87.5 192.9 lbs
Nov 22 86.6kg 190.9 yay things are really starting to move again!5 -
Nov 1 10-day trend average: 166.7
Nov 21 10-day trend average: 163.6
3.1 lbs in 21 days
Nov + Dec + Jan = 81 days
So I’m going to shoot for 159.9 by Jan 31!!!

Hi, I had already starteda personal challenge like this on 1st Nov but only just found this group and I am happy to have found others to share with.
Start weight 67kg (147lbs) with a very disproportionate waist and a fear of type 2 diabetes etc if I didn't change my ways!
Current weight 65.5kg (144lbs) and although I forgot to measure my waist at the start I am sure it is a bit smaller.
I log every day and I am trying do bodyweight exercises but injuries are my nemesis!7 -
Late to join the group but needing some support as 1) I have this week off of work and I'm home 2) It's Thanksgiving week and I'm making turkey and all the casseroles. None of these are excuses.
I have between 10-15 pounds to lose.5 -
