Another brutal week at work in terms of hours. I managed to get some exercise in but I think the main reason for losing weight is not having enough time (or feeling like eating) with so much on my mind. I know this is temporary and I can see some sense of normalcy in maybe the next 2-3 weeks. Until then, I'm going for a morning walk since I got up at 3:30 and will try to get back into the habit again (walks that is, not waking up in the middle of the night).

I woke up stupidly early so I thought I would check in. I was holding onto a lot of water weight most of the week so I was glad to shed it. I have 4.2 pounds to my goal weight. Off to wake up and get ready.
Have a great Friday!
Great loss as you are so close to goal! I can see you reaching goal next month! 🥳🥳0 -
The November Habit Tracker is up and ready for you to plug in your daily commitments -
https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10902276/habit-tracker-november-2023#latest
Happy Tracking!1 -
Kickboxing went so well! I signed up for the gym. It is a commitment, but I am trying to re-commit to myself, so it feels good. I'm nervous, but excited to be held accountable by the gym.
For my November goals, I'm hoping to see some progress from being in the gym 3x a week and having a better diet. I'm hoping for a 5lb-10lb loss in weight.
Everyone has done so well on their losses! Congratulations! I have a few parties this weekend for Halloween that I'm hoping don't have too much tempting candy.2 -
Good Morning and happy Friday. Here are my steps and my weigh in for the week

Not bad considering I didn't eat the greatest this week. I plan on going on a nice large shopping trip tonight to get some good healthy foods. What are all your staples for your healthy journey? What do you like to keep on hand?

I wasn't too optimistic this week as I felt like I was a little less active.. but the world is crazy lol. My lucky number is 4 and when I saw the scale had me at 4.4 lbs lighter I was more than thrilled.
Appreciate yall! Much love!
Great loss! Got to love those lucky numbers. Are you still doing your virtual walks?ChickieBoom22 wrote: »Hi Team 👋🏾. I’m really happy to be here with all of you and motivate each other on this journey!!

That was one tough week, largely due to carelessness on my part! I was sloppy with my calories in the early part of the week, which included a super tasty, work-related restaurant meal on Monday. Apparently the scale then decided it was staying right where it was (even up a bit), and I was pretty concerned that this was not going to be a "green" week. (That is my minimum expectation for myself - I want to lose something, even a tiny bit, each week.) So by Wednesday, I decided I had better "lock in" as @NachDeezy says (or is it "lock on", Nach? No matter - I thought of you...) and was really strict with my intake, put in some calculated extra activity - knowing that I also had a work dinner to attend last night.
So I am definitely pleased with this loss. A bit of a wake-up call for me not to let things slide if I want to keep going in the right direction!

Hello!
I've been on and off this weight-loss journey for a few years now. After losing nearly 100 lbs. I had started having major health issues, which caused me to give up trying to lose weight. After regaining a few lbs back, decided it was time to restart my journey again. No excuses anymore, time to get motivated and encouraged.
Joining this challenge I figured would help me greatly. Looking forward to what next month will bring.2 -
