I need to lose about 74 grams a day for this challenge because I started late
November
18 87.7 I celebrated by overeating because I did something I'd been putting off for a couple of years due to anxiety
19 88.3 Again I overate because I am going off sugar
20 88.3 I would have lost weight, definitely didn't eat at maintenance
21 87.7 I ate under maintenance, 2 days in a row
22 87.2 I definitely over ate because of various reasons, hopefully that doesn't happen again
23 88.0 I ate below maintenance
24 87.5

Spreadsheet trendline is at 82 grams a day, more than needed

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.


11/28-196.6-(Trend Weight: 197.9)- I lost 2 pounds during Thanksgiving week? That has got to be the first time in, like, EVER. I’m really trying 90% of the time. Clearly there is still room for growth but I’m proud that I managed to accomplish this! I can see that I won’t make my November goal because of all the bouncing back & forth, but I’m headed in the right direction.
