😀😀😀***OCTOBER 2023 WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE***😀😀😀

🏈🍁🍂I’m a 5’2”, soon to be eligible for Medicare girl from the Pacific Northwest. Took a “break” from weighing and logging over the last few months… always a mistake! Gained back 6 or 7 pounds. Time to get back on track, one jug of water at a time! One pound a week seems like a good goal for October!🍂🍁🏈

Total loss for October: The only good thing I can say is that even though today's scale weight is up (again), my average is down at least for this week. It's still two pounds up for the month though, so this little good news doesn't inspire me all that much.

October 1: 168
October 8: 165.8 - had a slow start to the week but trusted the process and my whoosh yesterday and today. I’m controlled over my diet but have to work hard to get steps in.
October 15:164.6 - have had a weird week. Have been on point with my food, water and steps but not many bowel movements and my body has clung to the same weigh range all week!!! This is the least amount of weight I have lost over a week since I started 54 odd days ago. But aim is to get to 160 by the end of the month and have another two weeks to lose 4.6 lbs 🤓🤓🤓
October 22: 166 😭😭😭 I have been down with a flu and cold this week. I KNOW I have eaten within my calories this week so my body has been holding onto this weight. I know it will eventually drop it once it decides I’m feeling better. I have looked at my previous weight loss weigh ins and the 168-164 lb range was hard for me last year too. It took me a whole month to move past 164 lbs - maybe that’s a weight where my body is set to be comfortable? Regardless there are 10 more days left to move the scales. I doubt I will hot 160 by the end of the month but 162 is achievable. Wish me luck 🫣

Just little by little. I'm doing an intermittent fasting lifestyle with Gin Stephens' book "Fast, Feast, Repeat" and I listen to her podcasts, and am pleased because I don't have to count every calorie. It's *when* I eat that makes a difference, at least for me. Let's keep up our focus through the end of the month, friends!!

October 22: 179 🙂 I'm still new to the EasyWay, so the old habits of eating at the scheduled time and not paying attention to satiety resumed sometimes. But I'm free!

I get slow but sure but dang...

Perimenopause is horrible. I'm eating well and working out regularly. Feel like I'm spinning my wheels some days but, oh well, moving forward.

Five pounds in three weeks is good. I wouldn't really call it slow. I also expect that at some point there will be some faster loss, and that will be followed by slower loss again. That's pretty normal. Don't let that make you feel like spinning your wheels. They have traction!
