October-December challenge!

Hi. My goal by the end of December is to be firmly off this plateau I've resided on since Jan 1st. Wt has bounced same 4 lbs up and down. Am an active sr. but have to be mindful of how much I push myself to avoid flaring hip and knee issues.
Last nite was a huge win for me. Didn't eat anything after dinner. yeah! This'll be the key to my wt loss success.

Oct 1st: 164.2
Oct 8th: 163.8
Oct 13th: Was stuck on a plateau of 163, then up and down 1 lb. Now have shifted to a plateau of 165!
And it's midway thru October. Unfortunately this is a pattern.
Today / this evening, I HAVE to remember all the lessons, all the tools I have to get thru today as my first totally on plan day in ages.
Have decided I must check in here daily.

My name is Donna. I am 62 years old, 5' 5" tall. I live in the Midwest of USA. I am in remission for breast cancer, have Type 2 Diabetes, an under active thyroid, high blood pressure and cholesterol, some osteoporosis and coronary heart disease with a stent in my heart.

11/13-198.2-(Trend Weight: 199.2)- Expected bloat but it’s never nice to see it on the scale. I traveled a little this past week and managed to keep the weight down which is unusual for me so I’m proud of that. 2 more days of travel this week so I am going to try hard to continue to resist all the big city temptations. This lady from a very rural Amish town has a very hard time resisting all the offerings a large city holds. You miss things like donuts, bagels, chain restaurants, steak houses, Italian, Chinese, Thai, Mexican. We have none of that. So the goal is to eat half and bring the rest home for the next day. When I do that (and I stay away from amazing desserts) I don’t do too badly (even with so much driving/sitting). Be good to yourself Donna and keep it under control!


11/20-199.6-(Trend Weight: 198.7)- You can tell by my trend weight that I had a pretty good week with my weight finally going down a bit. However, the last two days I ate Chinese food brought in by my daughter (split a meal into two days). Sodium and normal non-medication bloat showed up on the scale this morning. I’ll work on it.

Not doing so well, have continued to yo-yo the same 3 pounds all November.

Success will only come if I get control of my snack(s), esp from 8pm on.

11/27-197.6-(Trend Weight: 198.0)- Only one pound gained after my Thanksgiving feast yesterday. I’ll take it! It makes me feel very firmly planted in Onederland! My trend weight has been steadily coming down in a big way. I’m feeling pretty good all around even though I won’t come anywhere near goal for November. I'm down exactly 2 pounds this week and for a foody holiday week, I think it's great. December will be tough but I’m up for the challenge!


11/30-196.2-(Trend Weight: 197.8)- I am down 1.6 lbs. this month. I’ll take it. The combo of fall/winter usually finds me gaining 14-16 pounds every year (for the past 3 years!) Not this year my friends!

The goal now is to do the cardiac rehab for 12 weeks, twice per week. Also, to work on lowering my cholesterol. Of course, losing weight always helps so the journey continues for a healthier lifestyle and a healthier heart.
