I had to edit to understand I actually gained by November 6.

Well for me I have to closely monitor my body and scale as I noticed some foods make me gain easily

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.]

November 15: 56.4 – and this week I was finally able to maintain instead of losing again, fiuhhhh… 😊
I also added a new forever goal (my glucose is slightly high, still in the healthy range but I need to be careful 'cause I'm under medication for heart and that brings it up, so I'll try eating more whole-wheat things and more legumes)

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)
* eat more whole-wheat things and more legumes

Hi guys this is going to be my second challenge. I did one for October and it was really helpful.

Hey everyone!

I have been really good at not eating before noon, and have cut right down on snacks. I think I need to be careful with my portion sizes of pasta. I have not met my goal of exercising twice per week, other than walking.

I am far too impatient, I need to remember that slow and steady wins the race! Almost 3lbs down in 11 days isn't bad at all. If I am consistent I can meet my goal :-)
