Starting weight September 1: 141

Goal weight for October: 132.8

October 1: 136.2
October 2: 137.0 I logged 👍 Wow, my weight can really spike up quickly. On Sept 30 I was 134.8. Now 2.2 lbs higher. But this is not a surprise. On Sept 30 my mom took me out to lunch; and the mac & cheese was sooooo bad. I just had to go home and make mac & cheese to go with dinner, the proper way, with all the butter and flour and cream cheese and buttery bread crumb topping. And I ate too much of that mac & cheese. And then yesterday we had a long party with friends, and there was a ton of great food & wine. So I overdid it there. So, now back to the plan. My goal is to get back at daily logging & daily meeting my calorie goal, AND to drink lots of water. Cycle day 1 should be right about now too, so the weight could stay here or go up again. Just going to get back to the plan and try to stick with it from here!

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.

10/06-188.0-(Trend Weight 188.2)- Well, it is exactly as I expected so I have my work cut out for me. My menu is pre-logged and I’ve already done 21 minutes of my planned exercise. Handymen will be here any minute so more exercise will likely be late tonight. No worries.

10/07-186.8-(Trend Weight 188.1)- I forgot to close out my day last night on MFP but I had an okay day. Scale is going back down from the travel day. My exercise was limited to just 20 minutes of aerobic dance due to the handymen being here so late. Today will be a slow rainy relaxing day but I may go check up on my older friend today and spend a little time with her. Tonight I hope to get some snuggled up reading in with a nice cup of hibiscus tea.

I’m a grandma from Ontario. 7 months ago my health really took a hit: diabetes, hbp, hardened arteries , arthritis, etc. Everything came on at once. I was heading for a stroke. Scared me into action.
I love this challenge, and the support and inspiration it brings.

Spent most of the day driving home and didn’t get any exercise. Just not really motivated to do much other than get ready for Thanksgiving. Had a great time in the Soo, on the train, and hiking in the woods yesterday. It was beautiful. It did turn a bit cold, and I didn’t bring a warm coat, but I always get hot hiking, so I was fine. Heard it might snow there soon.
Have my family coming over for Thanksgiving and I do all the cooking. I’m well prepared though and enjoy it. Glad to be able to cook my own food. I didn’t eat well while away even though my calorie intake was fine.
I think we were a little late for the fall colours. They’re even prettier around here.

Hi, I'm a 50 yo married female, 5'6", and tired of looking and feeling like I do. I’m making changes to get out of the Obese category, to look good in my clothing, and to have confidence in public again.

Heaviest Weight: 221 | Ultimate Goal Weight: 165
Starting Weight Aug 2023: 212.7 | Sep 2023: 207.1 |

Oct 1: 205.5
Oct 2: 206.4 - A bit more sodium yesterday, and a piece of Naan. It was good, I'm just paying for it.
Oct 3: 205.4 - Going to try a different workout, and focus on me today.
Oct 4: 204.9
Oct 5: 204.6

Oct 7: 204.9
Oct 8: 204.0 - I expected 2 lbs up this morning, so that might hit tomorrow. We splurged a bit yesterday.

🎃🍂 🍁

Hi, I’m Tiffani. 41 female 5’1. Lost 20lbs 2 years ago and felt so good but I’ve put it all back on and I’m finally ready to get back on track. I’m only tracking food right now and will add in movement at some point.

1: 159.6
2: 159.0
3: 159.0 (ate good yesterday despite having lunch provided at a work event. Very proud of myself and I’m sure that’s why I didn’t jump back up in weight this morning:) I’m trying to listen to my hunger cues…something I’m not very good at.
4: 159.6 ate good yesterday. Definitely didn’t go over my cals so I guess my body is fluctuating water weight. I feel really good about being back on track and doing something rather than just wishing I was thinner lol
5: 159.8 I ate a little more yesterday but still under maintenance by 1-200 cals. I think the bump up was because I ate more towards the end of the day. I know if I keep on keepin on it will eventually show up on the scale
6: 159.6 I ate over maintenance tonight so hopefully that doesn’t set me back too far. Only by about 150cals so shouldn’t do too much damage.
7: 159.6 well…one of these days maybe I’ll see some downward movement😅 Non-scale victory is I did not eat donuts with the kids this morning I made some eggs👍🏻
8: 158.4 ate lower carb yesterday because I think gluten is still giving me issues (headaches, indigestion) I’m sure that helped with the scale loss

Hi everyone,

Happy Sunday! I'm going to have to opt out for this month because I've taken on too much this season and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I'm not giving up though - quite the opposite! I will check in next month. Very best wishes to all of your wellness journey! 💗

Smart choice to notice ahead of time and not when you're in the weeds! Wishing you good luck for your busy month!

Hello I'm Darlene and have been with this group for a few months now; my favorite support group on MFP. Retired, 63-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty).

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. 🏃‍♂️

🎃👻🍂Happy October!🎃👻🍂

Oct 1: 😁 173.8 A good start 👣💦📝 🥗 🎮
Oct 2: 😁 173.4 👣💦💪📝🥗 📖 🖍️ 🎮
Oct 3: 173.4 👣💦📝🥗 📖 🖍️ 🎮 The Hogwarts challenge that I am in has an assignment this week to run/jog for 20 minutes. It doesn't have to be in one session. Years ago, I did the Couch to 5K and jogged a 5k on my 50th birthday (a time when I was almost at my goal weight). I thought about doing that again, but when I tried earlier this year my knees couldn't take it. I thought I would try again when I lost 60 pounds - I'm not quite at 60, but close - I guess this was a sign that I should try again. Yesterday I did day one, and it was fun. Keeping my fingers crossed because I really did love it.

Oct 8: 172.6 👣💦💪 📝🥗 🎮 Happy with that - went out for a nice lunch, had a couple beers - it might be a day lag for the uptick - but happy that it stayed the same today.
Oct 9: 😁 172 👣💦📝🥗 📖 🧶 🖍️🎮 Not a very good night sleep - couldn't fall asleep so go back up - read, knitted, played games on my phone - finally went to bed at 3:00AM, and back up 6:00AM. It's bingo night with Mom tonight so up later than usual - thinking I'll need to take a nap today - we'll see how that plays out on the scale tomorrow.
