🎃🐈‍⬛October Daily Weigh-in and Logging Challenge🎃🌻

@deepwoodslady - Fabulous loss. You are such an inspiration to everyone in this group. . I went back to read all the posts since I was out of commission with covid and one stuck with me - you said "this is hard". Yes, I totally agree - very hard, but you just keep going. You show everyone that persistence pays off, life is filled with bumps in the road and you just have to enjoy the ride.

@andreajlnhe Hope you had a wonderful time with family last night. I always find those the most challenging. Family shows you how much they love you through food, and it gives them such delight when you enjoy it.

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 |

October Goals:
Lose 2 lbs. | Consistently log food | Bike &/or Treadmill 4 days a week | Aim for 7 hours sleep/day

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 6: 205.4 - Sodium up last night, but this will go down again. Feeling good overall.
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.
Oct 9: 205.4 - Yup.
Oct 10: 206.1 - Ugh. I have been off my exercise game lately. Definitely time to get moving.
Oct 11: 205.4
Oct 12: 205.1 - I am prioritizing the workouts this week. I want this number to go down.
Oct 13: 205.6
Oct 14: 207.1 - I even waited a couple more hours before coffee/meds to weigh myself, hoping sleep would trim this down. But no. Salty yummy food, I love you, and I hate you.
Oct 15: 207.8 - This morning I definitely about threw the scale. Some of this is week-before-cycle bloat (clothes are tight when they were great 2 days ago). Some I assume is still sodium related. The rest is that I dared stray from eating salad and chicken and the 10 foods I eat all the time. Tomorrow I will 100% be back on plan. Today I'm giving myself a damn break. I'm grumpy. I'm tired.
Oct 16: 208.9 - This has to be water retention. I even worked out yesterday.
Oct 17: 208.7
Oct 18: 207.5
Oct 19: 205.7 - No cycle, but at least the water retention is less. This round really damaged my mindset too. I felt afraid to post my weight, felt fake for posting because it just looks like I'm off plan when I wasn't. Just glad the number is better.
Oct 20: 205.8 - couldn't shave that .1 no matter how many times I stepped on the scale.
Oct 21: 205.8
Oct 22: 205.5
Oct 23: 206.8 Grr.
Oct 24: 207.5 -- Some monthly/TMI stuff at work here. I b*tched all my adult years about a clockwork monthly cycle, but this menopause shtuff is for the birds. Either give me back my regular cycle or shut this down, please. I'm glad there isn't any chocolate/candy in this house (well, the unopened bag of harvest corn is still there), or this number would be much worse.

Yes, this is true! And I think enjoying good food with loved ones is a wonderful thing; something I certainly don't want to live without! Unfortunately over the past couple years I have started using it as an excuse to over-indulge. Now I'm trying to re-train myself to both enjoy the food AND not go crazy. I'm calling last night a success... I did enjoy it, but I didn't over do it. (At least I really don't think I did. Hopefully she didn't pack loads of sour cream and butter into every square inch, LOL!!)

I'm Ashley, or "Ashes". I'm a Midwestern gal (now Cali gal) that lost the first baby weight through these monthly accountability challenges, I came back during my 2nd pregnancy to keep an eye on weight, but logged out due to extenuating circumstances (including an unexpected cross-country move 4weeks before baby came 🙃).

Height 5'5"
1st Starting weight SW May 7, 2021: 169 lbs
{Maintenance weight since Mid Feb 2022: 140lbs}
2nd pregnancy final weight: 165 lbs; which was such a shock considering how I was eating and not logging (first pregnancy I ended at 182 lbs)

New SW October 21, 2023: 154.8 lbs
GW: 132 lbs

Oct 26: 153.2 lbs
Oct 27: 153.2 lbs


Thank you @ManifestingToday and @deepwoodslady ! I'm looking forward to it!

@fourathomej Fantastic - I'll be cheering you on from the sidelines (even though the Huffles got this -LOL). My first holiday term - looking forward to it - the leaders are SOOO creative.

@waxingturtle I am putting in a friend request.

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!
October 3: 137.0 I logged 👍
October 4: 136.8 I logged 👍
October 5: 135.2
October 6: DNW
October 7: 135.2 Had crazy crazy days both Thursday and Friday...
October 8: 134.8
October 9: 135.0 I've been super slack with logging. But I am signed up for my very first 5K tomorrow, so that's exciting. This will be a run/walk for me. For about a month I've been working on it and now I can run up to about 3-4 minutes intermittently with about 1-2 minutes walking, for about 25 minutes. I never believed I could run for 3 minutes straight, so this is a huge improvement. Hopefully I won't wake up sick or something (there is sickness going through the house.)
October 10: 134.4 I logged 👍
October 11: 134.6 I logged 👍
October 12: 135.2 Awwww, I'm kinda disappointed.
October 13: 136.0 -Sigh.-
October 14: 135.8 Looks like today or tomorrow will by Cycle day 1... that seems to explain some things with my hunger and eating the last couple days and, uh, some moodiness, LOL! Perimenopause is interesting... I never know what's going on.
October 15: 137.0
October 16: 136.4
October 17: 136.4
October 18: 135.6 I logged 👍. Could be worse, considering I haven't been logging and I keep eating too much. I keep getting hungry and eating over my calorie goal, and then I just throw in the towel. My goal for the rest of the month is to stop with that perfectionism and to keep logging even if I'm going to be way over on calories. Also, more protein in the early afternoon might help with my afternoon cravings.
October 19: 134.6 I logged 👍

October 26: 134.2 Today and Sunday will be my challenges for the end of the month. MIL is serving us one of her big delicious dinners today, and Sunday we have a potluck plus a party. My goal for today is to enjoy MIL's dinner without going over my calorie goal, just logging with educated guesses from the database.
October 27: 134.2 I logged 👍 Yesterday I logged until dinner and saved as many calories as possible for dinner. Then at dinner I just tried not to overdo it.
October 28: 133.8 Yes! I did a little dance by the scale this morning.

10/26-183.6-(Trend Weight [b185.9[/b])-

10/27-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- I’m having great difficulty with weigh-ins on Fridays. I get up at 6:15-6:30 to get my DGS ready for school and to the bus stop at 7:30. I chose that day to take my (once per week) new Fosamax medicine which I must take with 8-10 oz of water away from food or other meds. Since I lay back down at 8:00 am it’s the perfect day to take it. If I could get my booty to bed earlier it would solve all the problems. I could just take meds immediately following a weigh in. However, I don’t go to bed until 3 or 4 am every night so I am not tired on Thursday nights (which is why I lay back down.) If I weigh on Friday morn before I take the Fosamax and all the water, it is too close to the time I actually went to bed - Too close to my last liquids and/or snacks. If I take it when I get up from my morning nap, it is too close to the medication and the 8-10 oz of water. Sorry for the long explanation but if you find that I am not weighing on Fridays, you’ll understand why. Never, under these circumstances, will my weigh-in reflect any actual progress so it may be best to just skip it since I feel it will always be inaccurate. With that being said, I will say that yesterday was a good day. Diet was on point, exercise was good. Strength training was accomplished. I feel good going into the weekend.

10/28-183.4-(Trend Weight 185.5)- Scrolling back up and looking at my weights over the month, I can clearly see it’s been a rocky month of ups and downs. I can see that I should have made much more progress. I am grateful for that which I have made, but there was room for improvement for sure. I did make my 4 lb loss goal (so far) but continue to “dream” about the 6 or 8 that would be possible if I were more consistent. I know I could have done better. Will this knowledge and careful eye on my color-coded numbers help me in November? I hope so.

10/29-185.6-(Trend Weight 185.5)- Well, I did get a wrench thrown into yesterday’s plans. Dear Foodie Daughter ended up taking me out to dinner before I babysat DGS. It was nice of her but I am not a size 2 like her. Of course, she doesn’t tell me what to order or whether to clean my plate so it ultimately falls on me and my habits. Boy oh boy, I still have a lot to change! Even more than I’d hoped. It’s a long and winding road, isn’t it?

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. 🏃‍♂️
17K Steps daily 👣
Drink 6-8 Glasses of Water Daily 💦

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.
Oct 10: 172 👣💦 📝📖 🎮 First day in forever I missed my calorie goal. Just a couple 100 over, but over just the same. It is my sister's birthday today - so had cake last night at bingo which put me over the top.
Oct 11: 😠 173.2 👣💦💪📝🥗 🧶 🖍️🎮 I guess Monday's overage, lack of sleep, and the fact that I was over on my sodium goal yesterday got me.

Oct 14: 😁171.6 👣💦🧘 📝🥗 🖍️Well that was a nice surprise. It will probably be short lived. Going out to dinner tonight with the whole family. My sister was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the spring. She has finished her treatment and after surgery and three rounds of chemo - they think they got it all. Going out to celebrate. Going to Japenese Hibachi - am going to figure out this morning how to count it so that I can determine what I can eat for breakfast and lunch. Hoping to still stay under the calorie goal - but am sure the sodium will be over the top.
Oct 15: 173.4 👣📝📖 Won't give myself a sad face - fully expected, but was a great night celebrating. Here is a picture of the family - Unfortunately missing Allyson, we were supposed to go last wekend but my nephew and hubby were still covid positive, so couldn't go. She had a wedding this weekend, so we missed her.
Oct 16: 173.6 👣💪📝🥗 📖 🧶 🖍️🎮 Ok, now I need to get motivated - been over my sodium goal three days in a row AND two days in a row not drinking the water - gets me every time.

Oct 24: 173.4 Sat on the couch all day again yesterday. Feeling crummy - ate all the wrong things. It's just temporary.
Oct 25: 172.2 🏃‍♂️📝🥗🧶 🖍️🎮 Feeling a little better - got a small walk in yesterday. Thank you all for your kind well wishes.

Oct 27: 😁 170.4 🏃‍♂️👣💦🧘 📝🥗 🧶 🖍️🎮 Got in almost 11 miles yesterday on my fitbit; and my highest step date yet (26,830). I've only been over 25K a couple times this year. it felt wonderful this morning seeing the results on the scale. I've also been way under on my sodium goal which of course helps tremendously.
Oct 28: 171.4 🏃‍♂️👣💦💪🧘 📝📖 🧶 🖍️🎮 Went over on my calorie goal, hit the cookies last night after I woke up in the middle of the night. Today will be a tough one too, but fun. My daughter and I are going to see Potted Potter - a parady on Harry Potter. As many of you know, I am a huge Harry Potter fan, so this will be a big treat. Going out for dinner afterwards. Expect an uptick tomorrow.
Oct 29: 170.4 🏃‍♂️👣💦📝📖 🎭 That's a pleasant surprise. I had a simple breakfast and lunch, both small calories, but high in protein so I could save room for dinner. Still went over the calories, it might show up tomorrow. I need to resist all temptation between today and Tuesday to try to get those last .2 pounds to reach my monthly 4 pound goal. I can do it! The play was really cute and funny. Very silly; is it something you would see more than once - absolutely not. Should you pay more than $40 a ticket, nope (we got them for free - my sister got them as a casino compensation to lure her into the casino). But, that being said I thoughly enjoyed myself. I realized I didn't take credit for getting to 1,960 miles that was in my monthly goals. Met that challenge on October 25! 😉 I'm currently at 1,994 with a little over 28 miles to go.
Oct 30: 170.4 🏃‍♂️👣💦💪📝🥗 🧶 🖍️🎮 Bingo night with mom tonight, many will dress up for halloween, and they have fun activities tonight. I'm going to be a doctor, mom will wrap her head up in gauze and be my patient!
