😀😀😀***NOVEMBER 2023 WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE***😀😀😀

I’m a little late to the game but here goes…

November Goal Weight: 57-3 - 57.0
Ultimate Goal Weight: (52-54 kg)

November 1: 57.3

November 8: 56.4

I would have liked to maintain for this month, and instead I keep losing… I seem to be incapable to “stop the trend”, and that’s because I haven’t really changed a lot in my way of eating, I simply a) cut part of the sweet things, that is the excess (I have all the same two-three things a day, so I have no crave/need/desire of adding more), and b) I adopted the “plate diet”, and this different way of introducing foods satiates me a lot (I eat the same things as before, but for lunch and dinner I mix them in the same meal, instead of having a meal carbs based and the other one protein based). So I eat what I like, as before; and I eat a lot (five days at about 1700 calories/day, and two at 2000/2200 – that are pizza days and burger days). I really cannot add further food, I wouldn’t be able to eat it!!
Ditto for the movement: I only walk. A lot, yes, about 20k steps/day, but again, I did it also before, and I really enjoy it, it relaxes me and I don’t want to renounce!
So, for now I’ll keep doing what I do, it’s my lifestyle, not a diet; anyway, my ultimate goal is 52-54 kg, so for now no problem if I keep losing… my only fear is that too fast is no good, I know, the risk is to re-gain, slow would be better* (and the other fear is that I don’t know how to maintain… but hopefully the plateau is around the corner, no?)

[* ten years ago I lost more than 7 kgs in a whole year and I never regained them (from 71 kg to 63.6).
* On the contrary, three years ago I've lost other 7 kgs but in only 5 months (from 63.6 to 56.6), and I've re-gained them in the next 5 months, and there they had been, for years, until the last March.]

Forever goals:

* above all, "plate diet" (as we’ve always had, in fact; only one memo: remember adding a lot of vegetables also when dinner consists of pastasciutta or pizza)
* drink drink drink (water, obv. 😉 )
* be consistent with movement (walking, about 20k steps/day)
* be consistent with the sweet things (only two/three things a day: one caffee’s croissant - or muffin or slice of cake at home, if I bake them - for breakfast; and one or two biscuits in the afternoons /or/ evenings)

November weight change:4.8 pounds down
Total weight change:18.2 pounds down

November Start Weight: 164.7 lbs (BMI 25.1)
November Goal Weight: a firm 163 lbs (eating at a 250 kcal deficit per day) - this would mean a BMI below 25, i.e. in the "healthy" range.
Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 lbs - most likely around 150lbs

November 1: 164.7 lbs (BMI 25.1)
November 8: 162.5 lbs (BMI 24.7)

haha, today's weight is below my November goal weight, but I don't have a large calorie deficit, so that number is not firm. My goal for November is to be consistently below 163. I don't normally "lose" two pounds a week, but with daily weight fluctuations it can look like that.

Hey everyone!

First time posting in a community. My weight has gone up and down most of my life - my heaviest weight was 12st 6lbs and my lightest adult weight was 9st 13lbs. I haven't gone above 11st since I lost weight in 2020 but a holiday and over-indulgence in cakes and lattes means I've put on a little bit over the past 6 months.

A few days late in starting, here goes:

November Start Weight: 150.4lbs
November Goal Weight:146 lbs
Ultimate Goal Weight: 143 lbs

I walk every day already but intend to exercise twice per week as well.
I will also use intermittent fasting to restrict the opportunities for me to eat... when I'm tired I tend to crave sugar.

Good luck everyone!

Weighed myself today after doing calorie counting and intermittent fasting since Monday. I think it's probably not fat that I've lost in such a short space if time, it's probably just water retention that I've lost, but it gives me a good baseline to measure against for the next 3 weeks :-)

I’ve never joined a challenge on this app before. I fact this is only the second weight loss challenge I’ve ever tried, the first being last month. I’ve been trying to lose weight for about 10 years now and I have maintained the same weight during this time. I saw the scale move for the first time last month (from 203 to 194) and I am motivated to continue this journey. I will update every other week as I try not to focus too much on the scale ☺️
