Nov 10: started back on MFP last week. Was on WW but I couldn’t stick with the plan. I’m scared to weigh myself hence the unknown starting
weight. My goals for today are to stick with single portions and drink water. Baby steps.
Nov 11: 271.2 Finally weighed myself this evening. I’ve decided to try intermittent fasting on a 16:8 schedule. This is my first night of fasting. It’s
tough because I’m so used to eating nonstop from the time I finish dinner until I go to sleep at night. I know this will take some
getting used to.
Nov 12: 267.1
Nov 13: 263.9
Nov 14: 263.7 It’s getting easier. I think I got this!
Nov 15: 261.5
Nov 16: 260.6 I’m learning to eat a little more than a sandwich for my last meal of the day. Makes the late night hours easier to bear. Thank
goodness for water! 💦
Nov 17: 262.3 A little disappointed in the gain, but looking at the big picture, I think I’m doing pretty good.
Nov 18: 262.3
Nov 19: 262.3
Nov 20: 258.6 After a small stall, headed back down. Yea!

Nov 9 189. Been so busy and have had migraine after migraine. Hoping those are going to be less often with me cutting dairy out (or eating it way less). Went my happy place this past weekend (Disney) so hoping it will help my mood and focus. Eating lots of fresh fruits and veggies.
Nov 11 188. Been doing doing. Ate some creamy pasta last night and woke up with a headache. But it’s gone now and getting lots of stuff done. Going to Taste of Sams today and hoping to be good. Lol.
Nov 15 187 a tummy bug helped with that loss.
Nov 16 186.5
Nov 21 189 feeling disheartened. Idk what’s going on here. I started feeling better Saturday. Haven’t eaten crazy so idk why the number is up. Could be ovulation and working out but it’s so frustrating.

Nov 1: 193.0 Candy has been everywhere and I have partaken way too much. That is done. My knee is painful w/arthritis onset and that is impacting activity (scary what this portends). Back to better habits. Drink the water!!!
Nov 2: 192.4 Checked the xray results from monday and i'm stage 2 osteoarth in my lt knee. So fedup with more health issues. I'm already doing so much to reduce my probs. Guess this is a cattle prod (in the knee no less) to lose the weight.

re Thanksgiving - Already have an idea of what will be served (turkey dinner from Gelson's plus additional dishes) so very carb heavy, and assuming lots of added salt and probably sugar, neither of which I use. Plan to start drinking water on the drive up, the fuller I can be, the better. Also plan to take carb and fat blockers upon arrival. We're bringing pies for dessert (costco pumpkin (my kryptonite) and something else which I won't touch). Reading the buffet rules from my other group tonite and tomorrow am.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, I faced my fear and weighed myself the day after Thanksgiving. I was pleasantly surprised! I have lost 8 lbs this month, which was my goal! I really enjoyed my Thanksgiving. I had a bit of everything, but in smaller portions than I normally would have.
I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving!
