🍁🦃November Dailly Logging and Weigh-in Challenge🏈🍂

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.

Hello my names Brenda and live in Muskoka Ontario Canada 6 months and Bluffton South Carolina 6 months. Two grown children, one married and one teaching in the uk, and our 11 1/2 year old white lab Tucker. I lost 45 lbs and kept it off but it’s starting to creep. I’m committing to weighing in daily. We have company starting tomorrow for the week , not a great time to start but there never is.

Welcome to the group, @sands4 ! Congrats on getting started, regardless of what's in progress - agreed that there's no great time to start. Lots of great support here, you're in the right place.

Yesterday, cleaned another bag of clothes out of my closet. Many of them still fit, but sick of the ugly, baggy looking things😒. Boy, when I get slimmer, I’m going to get some cute looking clothes.👗

I feel this comment to my bones. May we all be wearing slimmer, hotter, cuter clothes soon!

@ManifestingToday thank you so much💕 how do I add to my post daily.?

Hi, All! I am a full-time chaos coordinator with a husband and four kids and a two-time cancer survivor, which means I always seem to have something on the mend. Lol. My goals this month are to manage my stress, lengthen and strengthen my muscles, and move down a decade this month. All the best to everyone on their goals this month!

01: 181.2
02: 182.4 - Sodium I do believe.
03: 183.0 - Gotta watch the carbs.
04: 182.1 - Small win of not eating my usual late night after-work dinner.
05: 182.3 - Went over calories.
06: 181.0 - Very busy shift at work and ate way under calories.

I have yet another interview today. This job is not ideal, but I need something. Cancer screws up your body and your finances. Most days, I am pretty up in mood, but some days are just hard.

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 63 years old and from the Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s



Starting Weight (from Oct 31st): 181.4
Goal: 177.4 (Four lb Loss)
Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx


Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

11/05-184.6-(Trend Weight 184.2)-. I’m confused by today’s weight after having only 1010 calories and very low carb yesterday. It was an early weigh in and I’m still struggling with TMI so it’s probably that. Traveling today. We’ll be having Golden Corral for Lunch/Dinner for my daughter’s birthday which is such a treat for a rural girl like me. Tomorrow’s weigh-in won’t be pretty. I hate that it will be so close to the end of the round with only one day to recover. I’m going to try to remember that as I spoon things onto my plate. Yeah, good luck with that Donna!

11/06-185.4-(Trend Weight 184.3)- Travel again today about 90 miles round trip for my Cat. Harriet does not seem to be eating very well and it looks like she is losing weight. Also her fur is changing. It looks nice, but she is looking more like a short-haired cat than a long-haired one. Very strange. This is the cat I got from my brother when he passed away less than 2 years ago. I am still learning her habits but I do feel that something is wrong. I made this appointment last Friday so I am glad they could get me in pretty quick. She’s a sweet timid girl. She has been through a lot.

Hello I'm Darlene and have been with this group for a few months now. Retired, 63-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). Been with this group since the spring - my favorite group for support!

My goals for 🦃November🦃 - simplifying them this month - too hard to keep track of everything last month

⚖️ Lose 4 pounds (always my goal) - bringing me out of the obese category and into overweight
👣 17K steps daily with one day of rest
📝 Log Daily
🥗 Stay under my calorie range

⚖️👣📝🥗

Highest Weight: 228
October Ending Weight: 169.6

Nov 1: 171 - 👣 📝 🥗 17K Steps Not off to a good start - but it's temporary!
Nov 2: DNW - 📝 4K Steps Tough day for eating and exercise yesterday. It was our monthly visit to my husband's 91 year old cousin who lives about 2 hours away. Leave at 5:30 AM - have breakfast and lunch with her (not good choices) and then a long drive back home later in the afternoon. We got back home at 6:00. Lovely visit, but it makes for a long day and I am exhausted when I get home. I hit the left over Halloween candy for dinner, no exercise at all, couldn't sleep (probably too much sugar). It's just a temporary situation (didn't I say that yesterday?)! Will get back to it today!
Nov 3: 170.4 👣 📝🥗 23K Steps Good day yesterday; everything on track and on my way back. As a reward for making my 2,023 goal hubby said to get the new Garmin Fitness tracker that I have been eyeing. It came a couple of days ago and I've been trying to figure it out; wearing both the Fitbit and Garmin. Today will switch to totally Garmin. Hubby is getting the Fitbit.
Nov 4: 170.2 👣📝🥗 20K Steps A slow creep in the right direction. Girls day at the casino today - my sisters and aunt are going. Wish me luck! I should still be ok. I'm eating my breakfast before I go, will bring a protein bar and fruit for my lunch and will be home for dinner. And I won't be drinking (I have to drive home).
Nov 5: 170.4 👣📝🥗 20K Steps
Nov 6: 170.6 👣📝🥗 21K Steps Ugh - I've been struggling to see a decrease this week. The only thing I can think of is that I haven't been reaching my water goal. Will concentrate on that today and hope for a whoosh!
Nov 7: 169.6 👣📝🥗 Finally back to my October ending weight. Now to keep it below the 170s for good.

@Rinoga Art festival sounds like fun - I wish it was warm enough here for a sunburn! 😁
@sands4 Welcome to the group. Fantastic job losing all that weight. This is a great group for accountability. No matter what - show up. There is no judgements in this group - but showing up makes you understand your own body and keeps you on track. 🙋‍♀️
@stirredintention - Go glad you had wonderful weekend and a great time with your best friend! Nice way to end it. 🚶‍♀️
@melwillbehealthy I hear you. I too got rid of a lot of clothes - I have smaller clothes for the next two sizes, but they are dated. Not buying anything new until I get to my goal weight so will have to stick with the old stuff for a while. Can't weight. 👙
@stormywxs288 Welcome back! 🙋‍♀️
@bittersweetVita - Hope the interview went well. Fingers crossed for you. You can always keep looking after you take it (and it may surprise you and be the best job ever). I always thought it was easier to find a new job when you had a job then when you didn't. 🤞
@myhands4god I started this journey in January - been on a diet thousands of times without success.
I blame that failure on the fact that when I had an up - I gave up - saying why bother! This time around something clicked. When I had an off day - or when the scale didn't cooperate - I just kept going. Now down almost 60 pounds. One thing I learned being on this thread - the body is a confusing thing. Days I thought would be down I would be up, vice versa. The key is to just keep going - don't let the scale be your only motivation - if you do the work I promise you it will come off. Be strong, the tortoise always wins the race. 🐢
@deepwoodslady Hope Harriet is ok. So glad they could get her in. 🤞

I have to scroll through a few posts to find my last one so I can modify it. I noticed a few of you are having a good first week: @smoran98 @lauramavity7293 @Rinoga @stormywxs288 @Rh1aB1a Well done!!

@waxingturtle I do not buy protein bars as a rule so I can't suggest one that has less fat.

@myhands4God Well done on only having 2 cookies!! And like Darlene said, if you know you have done everything right, then you just have to stay the course and be patient for the results to show on the scales. Because they will!!

@ddainiak Congrats on getting back to the 60's!!

@jm216 How are you doing, Jill? Holding steady is never a bad thing; definitely beats gaining!
