I have been struggling 🙁. Sometimes I feel so lonely eating healthy.
I have issues with it sometimes too. Add some friends here for encouragement, and maybe work into your plan some of the foods you want, but abstain from. I find I do a lot better if I'm not abstaining from eating the foods I love because of a diet. I try to just eat smaller portions of those foods and if I'm still hungry supplement it with salads/veggies.

So really good week this week I suspect some of it was water because from Wednesday to Thursday I lost a kg.
Usually I loose weight during the summer when walking is dry and daylight is a plenty. But when it gets cold and dark I stop walking. But this year I have a puppy. So I have to walk no matter what the outdoors are like. But I actually like walking once I am outdoors. Just have to dress properly.

Twenty miles that is a long trek. Where the views good. I am impressed at that distance how long did it take.
The views were not of Mtns or peaks. But lots of beautiful, changing forests and ponds. There was a group of 22 of us, so that tends to slow things down a little. It took about 8hrs 45min total time, with lots of time for breaks, lunch, a little misdirection and such. But we were back to the trailhead just as the rain started and just as the sun was giving it's last effort. Pretty fine day.3 -
Decent week but rain (no Saturday hike) and a party (a little splurge) tried to derail me a little. But I am still on track.

10/16-184.6-(Trend Weight: 186.4)- A successful day yesterday which showed up on the scale this morning. TMI good, shed lots of water and bloat and raked yard for 3+ hours burning lots of extra calories. Diet was on point. I am planning another good day with more raking and yard work to complete the fall cleanup hopefully. This should continue to work the scale back down.
10/23-184.4-(Trend Weight: 186.1)- It’s been a tough week. My cravings have gotten the better of me most nights. After going up on the scale, I have managed to rein it back in to show a tiny loss this week. It’s not going to get any easier as we approach all the foodie holiday seasons that are coming up lickity split. No one said this would be easy.

I'm sorry you're having a hard time Dena. I've struggled with this, too, in the past. There's so much (implied and overt) social pressure around eating, and it's difficult to be the odd one out who keeps saying no -- especially when you already feel like what you're doing is not working well and now you just have to keep depriving yourself for nothing. Right?
One thing that helped me turn a corner was to imagine unhealthy food as heroin. If everyone else around me was doing heroin, knowing what it does to a person, would I feel compelled to join in? I don't think so. You can replace "heroin" with other things if you prefer, like gambling or jumping out of moving cars or whatever. The idea is that just because everyone else does it doesn't mean it's right for me, or that I would even enjoy it. The more I recognized the negative impact of unhealthy eating in others and in myself, the less desirable junk food became to me. These days, I stay away from unhealthy foods not because I know I shouldn't, but because I genuinely no longer want to eat them.
On that topic, it's also super important for me that I enjoy the food I'm eating. I think many of us grew up with this idea that "eating healthy" means having to forever be restricted to sad salads -- but healthy food can be utterly delicious! There are so many amazing cookbooks on the market now, and excellent online cooking resources. Experimenting with new recipes, and learning new cooking techniques, made a huge difference for me in how I look at healthy food vs. comfort food etc. and I honestly enjoy my food so much more now.4 -

Sorry but I'm in the need to do a little bithing:
I hurt my bad arm again last week; then I fell on it and the warden (my daughter) made me stay put for 2 days so I couldn't go on my walks. Then I started feeling like I got a cold, which tonight feels like a mild flu. My head is aching and I feel slouchy. I have been mostly drinking hot chicken broth, not even hungry. I feel crazy bloated from all the broth & water.
But I'm hanging in there. Still a few days to reach my Oct. goal. and if I don't reach my goal I should at least be close enough to it. After the past week, I'll take it. Looking forward to next week & feeling better.
Details about me:
Mac, Female, 54 y.o.
High fat/low carb diet
Fitness: slow walking & physical therapy (working thru some mobility issues)
Highest known weight: 374
Weight at start of challenge: 292

I am really struggling. No idea what is going on exactly. No excuses. They changed my meds 4 weeks ago and I did quit mowing grass for the year. I was using an electric walk behind to mow the dog yard every 3 or 4 days all summer. I will resume daily meal planning. I had kind of gotten lax on that over the summer. But I’m not giving up. We can do this!!
