🎃🐈‍⬛October Daily Weigh-in and Logging Challenge🎃🌻

Hello I'm Darlene and have been with this group for a few month now. Retired, 63-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). Been with this group since the spring - my favorite group for support!

My goals for October🍂 :

• Lose 4 pounds (always my goal) - BUT I am only 6 pounds away from getting out of the obese category - so setting a stretch goal to get there by the end of the month. Usually if I announce something I do it so . . . .. fingers crossed. ⚖️
• Hit my orignal 1,960 mile goal. I am on a mission to get 2,023 miles in 2023, when I first started my goal was 1,960 - a good year. When I realized that I would achieve this early changed it to 2,023. 🏃‍♂️

Excited to be back for another month. Thanks for keeping this challenge going, @jm216 !

Hi I'm Marla, 67 yrs old and retired. I have been yo-yoing with 20lbs for the last 20 yrs. Right now at 150 I want to be 130. I am smaller and the entire weight is in my stomach making me look 6 months pregnant. Over the last 20 yrs I have been asked many times. Last week a lady in my Tai chi class asked me and I laughed and told her how old I am! But inside was the shame you feel for not having the control over food you want. So here I am again, and this time I am going to work on my mindset and thoughts.

My goals for Oct:

Lose at least 4 lbs.
Yoga, Qigong at least 10 min daily
Walking daily
Weighing daily
Smaller portion sizes
Cut down on sugar & fat

Hello, I’m Stormy, a 73 male. 5’4”, 183.4lbs for my first weigh-in here in Oct. I bowl twice a week, play softball when it is warm, and pickleball (indoors) when it is not. I also work way too hard on my yard/lawn. I do intermittent fasting and Keto-ish. I’ve been a member of MFP since 2016 and during that time frame, I’ve weighed as little as 148 and as much as 209.

MFP has been good for me when I join a support group to keep me accountable. My goal for Sep-Dec is to finish off 2023 on a positive trend heading toward a healthy weight. I want to hit the ground running in 2024 instead of waiting for the New Year to make resolutions.

Sep 30: 185.0 (lost 5Lbs)
Oct 1: 183.4

Hi All, this will be my 2nd month with this group. I'm 46 years old, mother to five children.

@jm216 Thank you for this group!

Ok, im stealing Jill's format!

My name is Theresa and this is my first month with the group. I'm 55, from Indiana, and have had weight issues most of my life. I've been on the dieting roller coaster for 30 years and try not to diet but to make better choices. Multiple times I was close to 400 lbs. While I still bounce numbers around, I'm usually a few pounds on either side of 235. I did not have weight loss surgery but have had excess skin removed. I would like to lose 40 more lbs. I stress eat and love to snack. I'm trying to get more under control.
