    Hey friends! My name is B - I live with my husband and two kids and work in communitymental health. I've never not struggled with my weight, so I'm focusing on long term habits so I can live a longer and more active life with my family.

    Monthly Habits:
    Log all my food 🥙
    Work out 3x/week 🏃‍♀️
    8 glasses of water💧
    Self Care Activity 🧶

    Sept weightloss: 6.7 lbs
    Oct weightloss: 3.1 lbs

    🍁🍂Nov Monthly goal: lose 2 pounds

    1: 🥙💧
    2: 🥙🧶💧 I didn't get much sleep this night so I opted out of a work out and instead of reading a book and heading to bed early. Meal prepped a delish chicken salad and turning in for the night 💤
    3: 🥙 🧶my best friend came into town and we had martinis and went to a comedy show. Over in calories but walked the city and overall a great day ❤️
    4: 🥙🧶💧
    5: 🥙🧶🏃‍♀️ Had the best weekend and finished it up with a long walk through the park with one of my kiddos.
    6: 🥙🧶🏃‍♀️💧
    7: 🥙💧
    8:🥙💧🧶 Work has been long the last few days but I finished my last presentation this morning and am ready to relax tonight
    9: 🥙💧
    10: 🥙
    11: 🥙🏃‍♀️
    12: 🥙🏃‍♀️💧this was a whirlwind weekend - my daughter was in the community theater production of "Mean Girls" and at this point I've seen the show so many times I could be an understudy...I knew the weekend would be rough and planned in a few workouts and tracked as I went. Ready for a few months without baseball practices and musical rehearsals as we head into the holidays 🎀
    13: 🥙💧My Monday was 12 years long lol. But I tracked and didn't fall off track. Making a drink and catching up on some reality TV now🍸
    14:🥙💧🧶
    15: 🥙💧🧶
    16: 🥙🧶
    17: 🥙💧 I've never been so excited for a weekend to come! Happy Friday friends ❤️
    18: 🥙💧🧶
    19: 🥙🧶💧
    20:🥙💧🧶 Kind of in a funk today. I'm realizing it's been about a week since I worked out and think that's probably the culprit. Making plans to get in a walk in the park tomorrow ❤️
    21: 🥙💧🧶 A rainy start to the Thanksgiving holiday so we stayed in and made paper snowflakes ❄️
    22:🥙💧🧶 still no work out but looking forward to a slow morning of watching the parade on TV and bringing a dessert to Thanksgiving.
    23: 🥙💧🧶🏃‍♀️ My calories are a best guess but tracked. I took a walk through the park mid-baking and played cards with family and friends. I hope everyone spent the day with people they love ❤️
    24: 🥙💧🧶

    My weight fluctuates a lot. Sometimes it takes time to come off and after a while it drops.

    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 👣📝🥗 20K Steps Finally back to my October ending weight. Now to keep it below the 170s for good.
    Nov 8: 168.4 😁 👣📝🥗 23K Steps My first smile this month! Woo Hoo! Guess who is no longer "obese"! 😉
    Nov 9: 169.8 👣📝🥗 21K Steps Expected an uptick, and am actually glad that it is not more. Trivia Night last night (took 2nd place) - over my sodium goal and used all my calories from exercise.
    Nov 10: 169.6 👣 📝 🥗 20K Steps
    Nov 11: 169.8 👣 📝 🥗 22K Steps A slow creep in the wrong directiion. Went out to dinner, self sabatoge. Time to get back to it!
    Nov 12: 169.4 👣📝🥗 20K Steps A beautiful day in Connecticut yesterday. After my morning walk, spent the day cleaning up the yard - harvested the last of the herbs (froze for later), cleaned up the garden, put away the summer yard stuff. Then relaxed the rest of the day. I'm reading Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes again before I go see the movie next week.
    Nov 13: 169.4 👣📝🥗 20K Steps A chilly start to the day, but beautiful. Got in 20K steps all week - I love walking in the cold weather. It's bingo night with Mom tonight - I HAVE to resist the desserts that everyone brings - gotta get that scale to move!
    Nov 14: 168.4 😁 👣📝🥗 19K Steps
    Nov 15: 168.8 👣📝16K Steps
    Nov 16: 168.6 👣📝 23K Steps A rough couple of days. Going to visit my Aunt this afternoon (she will have dessert), so having a light breakfast and lunch before I go. Then picking up dinner on the way home. So one more challenging day. Fingers crossed it doesn't do any more damage.
    Nov 17: 168.6 👣📝🥗 20K Steps
    Nov 18: 168.2😁 👣📝🥗 22K Steps Back on track. Going to start getting ready for Thanksgiving today - have to clean out my office to make room for the buffet table. My Thanksgiving count is now up to 25 - my cousin and his girlfriend and there kids (they each have two) will be joining us as well. Their original plans fell through. Less leftovers! Yahoo! Finished the Ballad of Songbird and Snakes (2nd time reading), in anticipation of seeing the movie tomorrow. Looking forward to it. Haven't been to the movie theater in a long time!
    Nov 19: 167.4 😁 👣📝🥗23K Steps. Happy to see this today.
    Nov 20: 167.4 👣📝🥗 15K Steps. Was happy not to see a gain today. Went out to lunch yesterday before the movie. I figured the sodium would get to me. Move was very good. Parts were rushed, but I guess that can't be helped when trying to condense book to 2 1/2 hrs.
    Nov 21: 167.8 👣📝🥗 20K Steps
    Nov 22: 168.2 👣📝🥗 23K Steps Overwhelmed with getting ready for Thanksgiving.
    Nov 23: 168.2 👣📝🥗 19K Steps Happy Thanksgiving
    Nov 24: 172.8 14K Steps - I figured I would have a gain, but I have to find it funny how you can gain 4 pounds in a day. I have NEVER lost 4 pounds in a day! OK, I did have three pieces of pie - but they were small 😉. I do have to say, I felt crummy at the end of the day - like a bad hangover and I couldn't sleep. I guess by body has gotten used to not eating like that. Right back at it today.
    Nov 25: 169.6 👣📝🥗 22.5K This is where I started at the beginning of the month - so I think that four pound goal this month is a LONG shot - but hey I gained four pounds in a day - why not lose four in a week! I am going to try like H--- the next few days and be happy with what I get!

    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
    ******************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME****************************


    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.

I feel like I’m already back to square one. This will take a lot of work to get back off! Today I clean, food prep and bake for tomorrow’s big Thanksgiving dinner. I’m looking forward to some traditional holiday foods and desserts, but not for the overall damage to my plan. I’ll have to send away as many leftovers as I can get them to take.

    11/25-183.0-(Trend Weight 182.3)- Today is our family feast. I think I will do okay on the food. However…..the desserts are aplenty. But do I look worried? Oh that’s right, you can’t see me through your screens. That’s probably a good thing.

    Hi All, I am a busy mother of five slowly working my way to my goal weight. During September I entered my "Normal" BMI category and am now about 10 pounds from my ultimate goal. This will be my 3rd month in this challenge. I had never weighed myself daily before this challenge, and I am finding it to be so helpful and informative to weigh and check in daily.

    My goal for November is to NOT GET DERAILED BY THANKSGIVING. 🦃 🥧 😊 Let me tell you, I can really get derailed by a holiday. I may or may not log on Thanksgiving or the day after, and that's OK. But my Thanksgiving goal is to log daily from Saturday the 25th through the end of the month.

    Starting weight September 1: 141.0 lbs

    Starting weight November 1: 132.8 lbs

    Goal for November: 130.4 lbs Considering Thanksgiving, I'm setting my goal a tad on the conservative side.

    November 1: 132.8 I logged 🍁
    November 2: 132.8 I logged 🍁
    November 3: 131.4 I logged 🍁 Very happy with today's weight. Over the past week there have been several days that I ate at maintenance, and a couple days I ate well over maintenance. It was hard to tell if I was needlessly eating more, or if I really needed the additional calories. I've already got my activity level set to almost the highest one, and I haven't even gone running or done any exercise for over a week. I guess I walk constantly around the house, dealing with the children and doing housework, always on my feet, and I frequently have to do up and down the stairs to deal with something or put something away, so maybe that burns a lot sometimes. For a while there I thought I was "failing" because I could not hit my calorie goal.
    November 4: 131.0 I logged 🍁
    November 5: 130.8
    November 6: 132.2 I logged 🍁
    November 7: 131.8 I logged 🍁
    November 8: 131.4 I logged 🍁
    November 9: 131.2
    November 10: 131.2 I logged 🍁 Had a really bad day yesterday. Ended up overeating and eating too much chocolate. Hopefully it won't cause my weight to spike up. Today is a new day.
    November 11: 131.0 I logged 🍁
    November 12: 131.2 I logged 🍁 OK, time to break through this number, lol.
    November 13: 130.6 I logged 🍁
    November 14: 130.2
    November 15: 131.6 I logged 🍁
    November 16: 131.2 I logged 🍁 There's that familiar number again, lol. Time break through it again, especially these days before Thanksgiving. By the way, for the first time we have a pasture raised grassfed turkey this year for Thanksgiving. I'm looking forward to it.
    November 17: 130.2 I logged 🍁 Yessss!! Happy dance.
    November 18: 129.4 My scale is doing funny things. I'm not sure how accurate it is. At first it said 131.8 which is possible but unlikely (if the other readings this month were correct). So I got on again and it said 129.4 twice, so I'll go with that. But then I got on again about 30 minutes later and it said 127.0. That's highly unlikely also. Wondering if my scale is just not very good anymore.

    November 19: 128.2 ??? Again, I have a hard time believing this is correct. I might fiddle around with my scale, look into calibration like ManifestingToday suggested, or replace the batteries. First it said 126.6! No way. Then it said 127.0. Then it said 128.2 three times. My guess would be that 130-131 is more accurate. But I don't know. Another note-- yesterday was full of surprises. The day did NOT go as planned. Calorie counting and all cares for weight loss ended up out the window. Ended up going to a restaurant and just eating a lot. So I expected to see a weight gain, if not from extra calories then at least water retention. I'm wondering if I did have a gain but my scale is off and not reflecting it. Or I could actually have had a loss like it says. 🤷‍♀️ Well, I will just keep on with the usual logging, stick to my plans, and hopefully figure out what's up with my scale.

    November 20: 131.6 I logged 🍁 I am not super happy with my scale right now. Yesterday after I posted here, I turned it over and did not find any recalibration ability, but there is a button to change to kg. So I pushed it a couple times and set it back on pounds. Put it back down again, hopped back on and it said 131.4 I think. I think today's reading is probably pretty accurate..... It's a little disappointing to figure out that the scale has a 5-pound inaccuracy window. How am I supposed to know what's going on? I'll just keep logging and trying, and I'll keep getting on the thing every day and try not to worry too much about it. Let me know if any of you have any thoughts or advice on this.

    November 21: 129.6 I logged 🍁 Stepped on the scale multiple times again and this is what I kept getting, so I'll go with it.
    November 22: 128.8 I logged 🍁
    November 23: 127.8 Happy Thanksgiving! Here are my goals from now to the end of the month: 1) Enjoy Thanksgiving today and don't worry about calories. No logging. 2) Don't worry about calories tomorrow either. Logging optional. 3) From Saturday through Nov. 30, my goal is to log daily and check in here daily. 4) If my calories are over for a while, to get back to my calorie goal by Nov. 30.

    November 24: 129.6
    November 25: 130.6 I am filled with a lot of yummy food. I'm stuffed like a turkey! Today my goal is to log.
