    Heaviest Weight: 183 lbs
    Ultimate Goal Weight 144 lbs
    Height: 5’5

    October Goals:
    Lose 8 lbs - 3.2 lbs lost in October so far!
    3 x intentional walks a week

    Oct 1: 168
    Oct 2: 167.8
    Oct 3: 167.8
    Oct 4: 167.8
    Oct 5: 167.6 a really slow week for weight loss this week. I have logged consistently for 45 days. I know the weight will ‘whoosh’ eventually, just have to stay on plan. I will continue to IF and drink my 2.5 litres of water a day 🤓🤓🤓
    Oct 6: 167.4 - I can’t believe I am still 167.x! But I’m not going to be disappointed and binge because I’m trusting the process and know the whoosh is coming. The weight is still going down which is better than maintaining or gaining so that’s positive. It’s my daughters bday today but I’m still going to stick to IF because it works for me. Wish me luck! And hopefully tomorrow I will break into the 166’s 😬😬😬
    Oct 7: 166.6 - over the moon to have finally moved into the 166’s!!! Coincidentally had an amazing nights sleep last night. Slow and steady is fine as long as it’s going down and not up. Really focused on my water intake yesterday so that clearly helped to get the scales moving 🤣🤣🤣.
    Oct 8: 165.8 - had a great eating day yesterday and was on point with my water intake and steps. On track to meet my monthly target.
    Oct 9: DNW
    Oct 10: 165.8 - happy with this. Have been consistent with my diet and water. Aim to get at least 5,000 steps in today
    Oct 15: 164.6 - has been a very slow week even though my food, water and steps were on target. But a loss is better than a gain. I’m thinking that I’ve now lost 19.2 lbs out of my 30 lb target so my body is probably getting reluctant to lose these final lbs…. It’s definitely harder but I will continue because I know I’ve done it before. Positive vibes to everyone

    Please take care. I hope you don't get Covid, but I know sometimes that's impossible if you're exposed like that in a work setting.

    I'm very happy for you seeing visible changes! Impressed with all of your progress.

    I hope you're feeling better in all aspects (migraine and stomach bug are crappy on its own, without the PMS in there). Hopefully you can get a little more rest over the weekend and see some forward momentum.

    Happy Friday, everyone!

    October Goals:

    3 x intentional walks a week

    Oct 2: 167.8
    Oct 3: 167.8
    Oct 4: 167.8
    Oct 5: 167.6 a really slow week for weight loss this week. I have logged consistently for 45 days. I know the weight will ‘whoosh’ eventually, just have to stay on plan. I will continue to IF and drink my 2.5 litres of water a day 🤓🤓🤓
    Oct 6: 167.4 - I can’t believe I am still 167.x! But I’m not going to be disappointed and binge because I’m trusting the process and know the whoosh is coming. The weight is still going down which is better than maintaining or gaining so that’s positive. It’s my daughters bday today but I’m still going to stick to IF because it works for me. Wish me luck! And hopefully tomorrow I will break into the 166’s 😬😬😬
    Oct 7: 166.6 - over the moon to have finally moved into the 166’s!!! Coincidentally had an amazing nights sleep last night. Slow and steady is fine as long as it’s going down and not up. Really focused on my water intake yesterday so that clearly helped to get the scales moving 🤣🤣🤣.
    Oct 8: 165.8 - had a great eating day yesterday and was on point with my water intake and steps. On track to meet my monthly target.

    Oct 10: 165.8 - happy with this. Have been consistent with my diet and water. Aim to get at least 5,000 steps in today

I’m thinking that I’ve now lost 19.2 lbs out of my 30 lb target so my body is probably getting reluctant to lose these final lbs…. It’s definitely harder but I will continue because I know I’ve done it before. Positive vibes to everyone
    Oct 16: 164.4 - I have the beginnings of a cough/flu/cold coming on. I can feel it in my throat. There is covid going round in my workplace and I know I’m next 😭😭😭.

    Oct 17: 165.8 - a bit of a hike which I expected as my body craved carbs yesterday. Still feeling flu 😷 and cold symptoms.
    Oct 22: 166 lbs I have struggled with a flu and cold all week. I know I have eaten within my calorie goals for the week so I haven’t overeaten to gain weight. I’m assuming it’s water fluctuations and will drop off at some point. This has been my slowest week and month in my weight loss so far. The 168-164 range was super hard to move past last year too, took me a whole month. It’s obviously a soft spot for my body but I will continue to be persistent and not get stressed out.

    @9bhtn65nzj I truly hope you're feeling better soon. I know you said Covid is going around the office, please test so that you can rule that in/out. Getting over what you have right now is more important than anything - give your body what it needs to recover, and start from there. Hoping you're much better soon.

    Thank you so much for your kind words. I was feeling a bit depressed this week thinking I’ve not overeaten but my body is clinging to weight. I actually went in three walks with the kids yesterday and ended up with 19,000 steps, my personal best! Down 1 lb today too.

    Heaviest Weight: 183 lbs
    Ultimate Goal Weight 144 lbs
    Height: 5’5

    October Goals:
    Lose 8 lbs - 3.2 lbs lost in October so far!
    3 x intentional walks a week

    Oct 1: 168
    Oct 2: 167.8
    Oct 3: 167.8
    Oct 4: 167.8
    Oct 5: 167.6 a really slow week for weight loss this week. I have logged consistently for 45 days. I know the weight will ‘whoosh’ eventually, just have to stay on plan. I will continue to IF and drink my 2.5 litres of water a day 🤓🤓🤓
    Oct 6: 167.4 - I can’t believe I am still 167.x! But I’m not going to be disappointed and binge because I’m trusting the process and know the whoosh is coming. The weight is still going down which is better than maintaining or gaining so that’s positive. It’s my daughters bday today but I’m still going to stick to IF because it works for me. Wish me luck! And hopefully tomorrow I will break into the 166’s 😬😬😬
    Oct 7: 166.6 - over the moon to have finally moved into the 166’s!!! Coincidentally had an amazing nights sleep last night. Slow and steady is fine as long as it’s going down and not up. Really focused on my water intake yesterday so that clearly helped to get the scales moving 🤣🤣🤣.
    Oct 8: 165.8 - had a great eating day yesterday and was on point with my water intake and steps. On track to meet my monthly target.
    Oct 9: DNW
    Oct 10: 165.8 - happy with this. Have been consistent with my diet and water. Aim to get at least 5,000 steps in today
    Oct 15: 164.6 - has been a very slow week even though my food, water and steps were on target. But a loss is better than a gain. I’m thinking that I’ve now lost 19.2 lbs out of my 30 lb target so my body is probably getting reluctant to lose these final lbs…. It’s definitely harder but I will continue because I know I’ve done it before. Positive vibes to everyone
    Oct 16: 164.4 - I have the beginnings of a cough/flu/cold coming on. I can feel it in my throat. There is covid going round in my workplace and I know I’m next 😭😭😭. I diff do not intermittent fast today as my body needed refuelling mid morning but I stayed in my calorie target so hopefully no gain…. Didn’t drink enough water today as my throat hurt to swallow. I can see visible changes in my body shape now, especially my tummy area and arms. 4.4 lbs to go 😇😇

    Oct 23: 165 😀😀😀 went on three walks yesterday which resulted in 19,000 steps! Very unusual for me but great all the same. Feeling a little bit stiff this morning but super pleased the scales are finally moving down. I haven’t overeaten all week and am hoping the body has recovered enough to start releasing some of the weight!!
