    Gooooood morning October!! My favourite month of the year!!! Thanks @ManifestingToday for starting anew.

    Starting Weight: 196 in Feb
    UGW: 170
    October goal: get to 183 on average

    Oct 1: 185.5

    Happy to have hit my September goal where I hit 185 a bunch of times. I’m now reliably losing 2lbs a month without too much restriction. I’d like to see if I can bump that up to 3lbs a month. I’m going to create a bigger calorie deficit by adding in more movement, and see what happens this month.

    Happy Wednesday everyone
    I made a mistake by buying 4 new XL flannel shirts.
    I tried to shrink them with no luck.
    I guess they will end up being work shirts on the farm.
    When I was at 212 the XL were snug on the belly.
    I have some old L, and they fit ok
    I’m going to order one L in my favorite flannel snap button shirt and see how it looks.
    Have a great day.

    @dannytrees1 - Isn't the clothes fitting loosely a great motivating feeling? Nice work! I am resisting clothes shopping for a bit until I lose another 10-15 lbs..
    What kind of farm do you have? We also have a small hobby farm here in MT. Loving the cooler fall days.

    It’s a cash crop farm
    With horses
    And a few hobby things.
    Yes the clothes fitting nice and many to large now is a great feeling 👍
    I’m getting close to my ultimate goal weight (175) so I believe the Large shirt will still be ok at that weight.
    Enjoy the fall weather 🤠

    The new low is a bit of a false positive because I had health problems yesterday and was unable to eat. But you know what, I’ll take it!
    @dannytrees1 i love that feeling of smaller clothes! I’ve started wearing the occasional Medium shirt. I used to think buying a Large shirt was exciting (as opposed to XL). But now I have a mish mash of sizes in my closet haha.

    Yay, another Friday ! What a busy week . The house is lonely with my folks being gone and I think the animals miss them too. :'(
    Its my anniversary this weekend so hubby and I will probably take a drive and enjoy the gorgeous fall weather and maybe have a meal out which we never seem to do.

    Today we are expected to get some pretty damaging winds so praying we don't lose any trees or like last time , an outbuilding from a fallen tree.

    Is my scale broken? I am not sure I am believing the scale right now..not sure why the drastic dropping but I guess I will take it while being cautiously optimistic..

    Still have not been able to eat much because of health issues but whatever, a lower number is a mood booster which will help me recover faster right? 😂

    I am not particularly inspired this month. I will hit my initial goal of losing 15KG from 98.6KG to 83.6KG in 100 days (8 Oct). I thought I could do more but I have more or less hit a plateau and have not shifted much in September (<2KG drop).

    Tracking wise, I will ease up. I just engaged a pretty high end PT and into 3rd session. So for Oct, I am not so fancied about weighing myself but to see gains in physique and muscle mass. I know September I did lose quite a bit of muscle mass and piled on some fats. I am trying to reverse that even if it means my weight isn't going to budge.

    I'll be taking it easy when it comes to weight, but will improve on strength and physique. That's my Oct goal before taking my dexascan and health check in November. Then I have a 6 day family trip where I will be rewarding myself (again) for 5 months of effort.

    Yesterday was our anniversary. We took a ride to enjoy some fall scenery . I didn't drink near enough water, had a glass of white wine, had lunch out , ate some chocolate and had a late meal (albeit a home healthy meal) Visited with some friends over a campfire in the evening and had a really nice day overall.
