    Woo! Going down! I'm going to make a true, honest effort not to overeat today and I think I just might hit this week's goal! I have a lot of bloat to come off as I'm just now really getting back into things after falling off the rails a bit over Halloween, but these early wins definitely are motivating. I'm excited to hit 183.4 lbs as that will be 10 lbs down from the new year! Slowest 10 lb loss ever, but I still will be very proud. :)

    Happy Friday, all!

    @CloverDemeter welcome to the fray! And good luck going forward!

    @indoorsy_ don't worry about the fluctuations....they happen. :smile:

    @JimnKC glad the pain is going away!

    @baodell17724 great work! Sometimes I can get a lot of steps in just walking around my apartment doing chores.

    @deepwoodslady, you said, " It’s opening day for deer hunting so the schools are all closed." I know that was meant seriously but I couldn't help but chuckle...sorry.

    Day 15—11/10— 178 - My body is still in a holding pattern. But things should be moving along this week. Will get some time on the stationary bike today.

    Day 16—11/11— 178 - Made a pot of Lasagna Alfredo soup yesterday....it is delicious! Plenty leftover for future meals. Dr's appointment later today. Scale staying the same....and that's ok!

    Day 17—11/12— 178.6 - Saw an allergist today. Wants me to cut out red meat for a week....after I finish the sausage alfredo lasagna soup...lol! We'll see what happens.

    Day 18—11/13— 178.2 - My SO took me to my parents graveside today to leave flowers then we went to the Jewish deli so I splurged today.....even had dessert. So tomorrow will likely not be a good day, but you have to splurge once in awhile.

    Day 19—11/14— 177.6 - WOW....thought for sure my weight would be up. I was prepared for it, but my body surprised me. Walk is on the agenda for this afternoon.

    Day 20—11/15— 178.6 - Had the munchies yesterday....I HATE when that happens. Will do better today. Going to the movies to see "The Real Pain" and I always take a diet drink and granola bar instead of buying junk. Dinner will be leftovers.

    Day 21—11/16—

    @deepwoodslady, you said, " It’s opening day for deer hunting so the schools are all closed." I know that was meant seriously but I couldn't help but chuckle...sorry.

    @Crochetluvr It was a bit of a culture shock when this city girl first moved to this rural area. Schools were never closed for me when I was growing up in the city! Yeah, it's a big deal here in northern Michigan. Many businesses are closed also so that employees can go hunting. Everyone wants to fill their freezer for sure!

    I'm still at a standstill at 148 lbs. I'm glad the daily weigh in is working well for folks. For me, it gives me frustration. I am opting to stop the daily weigh in and move to weekly on Saturdays.

    I'm 36 years old, 5'3.SAHM to two beautiful toddlers, both with some special needs. Life is crazy, but I'm doing my best to make the most out of life for myself and my family.

    Week 1 Goal: 151.5
    Week 1 actual weight: 151.6

    Week 2 Goal:150.5
    Week 2 actual weight: 150.8

    Week 3 Goal: 149.8
    Week 3 actual weight: 150.8

    Day 15—11/10— 150.6. Bare minimum type of day. Went to the gym, but wasn't a remarkable workout. Ate within calories, but didn't focus on nutrition. It was good enough.

    Day 16—11/11— 151.0. It was another lazy day. I did a couple of short walks, but that's all for exercise. Food was okay and within calories.

    Day 17—11/12— 153.1. Constipation is my only guess. I took something for it last night, hopefully it'll do it's thing today and my weight will be better tomorrow.

    Day 18—11/13— 150.0. So close to breaking into the 140's.

    Day 19—11/14— 151.2. Not a bad day, but not a particularly good day, foodwise. I'm still not running because of my hip. I still go to the gym, but it's not the same intensity as running. I'm hoping next week I'll be able to run again.

    Day 20—11/15— 149.9. Another bare minimum day.

    Day 21—11/16— 150.8. I bounced around my week goal weight, but missed the mark. I'm purposely pulling back on the exercise, trying to let my hip heal completely. That may show up a little on the scale.

    Week 3 Goal: 149.8
    Week 3 actual weight: 150.8


    Previous and Future Weeks
    Week 1

    Day 01—10/27— 155.3. My weight is much higher today than it's been recently. It's the result of enjoying a few (too many) beers with friends and eating out yesterday. I'm sure a couple pounds will fall off in the next couple of days as I get back to making good choices.

    Day 02—10/28— 154.9. I made much better choices yesterday. Hopefully my body will catch up soon, and I'll return to where I was before the weekend (152, roughly). I walked and ate within calories. I also did some meal planning and prep to prepare for the week.

    Day 03—10/29— 153.7. Slowly coming back down. Lots of walking, some body weight exercises, and yoga. Eating was great, with no deviations from the plan. I just need to make this the norm.

    Day 04—10/30—152.6. Another good day. My husband started nibbling on the Halloween candy, but I used all of my willpower to resist. More walking and yoga.

    Day 05—10/31— 153.2. I've had a really good week so far, goal wise- much better than usual. Yesterday was a bad day for me emotionally. I think part of it had a legit reason, but that just spiraled into feeling all of the current stresses of life. However, I didn't turn to food and still did the exercise I had planned. So in that way, it was a win.

    Day 06—11/01— 151.2. Happy to have a bit of a woosh. I've been doing good at resisting Halloween candy so far, but we still have some in the house. I'm going to try to be good. I didn't do well at meeting my exercise goals yesterday (steps, yoga), but my eating was good. I just have to maintain this loss until tomorrow to beat my week goal...
    Day 07—11/02—151.6. It's close enough to my goal for the week that I am happy with it. I added in the exercise bike at the gym to my workout. Overall, I'm quite happy with how this week went. I'm proud of most of the decisions I made

    Week 1 Goal: 151.5
    Week 1 actual weight: 151.6

    Day 08—11/03— 152.1 I had a few extra pieces of Halloween candy than I needed, but overall did pretty okay. I did most of my exercise (outdoor walking, treadmill and exercise bike) but didn't get around to yoga. I'm going to make a soup today for lunches this coming week. I also want to make healthyish zucchini muffins that my kids also like, but I'll see if I have time.

    Day 09—11/04—151.7. Food quality wasn't great (husband had pizza waiting for me when I got home) but I fit it into my calories and ended the day just below target. I went swimming (first time swimming laps in a LONG time!). This weekend was a lot better than last week.

    Day 10—11/05— 152.1. This number keeps popping up. It's time to push it down a bit. I was up all night with my kids, hopefully I'll be able to stick to my plan today.

    Day 11—11/06—150.1. Woo-hoo!! I've been really diligent with my food and exercise recently, so it's nice to see it reflected on the scale. I really hope this isn't a fluke.

    Day 12—11/07— 151.6. Yesterday was a rest day from the gym, and I treated myself to an alcoholic beverage. I'm not too surprised there was a little bounce up. The rest of the day was good. Food was good, and the rest of my activity was good (outside walk, yoga, body weight exercises).

    Day 13—11/08— 150.8. Good day. Good food choices, a bit of intentional exercise. I'm happy some of my healthy choices are becoming more of a habit, and a bit less forced.

    Day 14—11/09— 150.8. I'm happy with where I ended this week. I missed my goal, but still made good progress.

    @daria0919 Thanks! :smiley: I am trying very hard, but the scale didn't feel like showing it, boo.
    @globalhiker I totally understand you are frustrated. I guess that is the 'downside' of being at a lower weight; makes losing slower and harder so not as many day to day fluctuations. Once a week does sound like it will work better for you, keep at it!

    Good Saturday to you all

    I have been reading a lot of of losses from many of you....AWESOME WORK! But the rest of us shouldn't be too disappointed.....things will turn around for us!

    Welcome back @sparkyjenson .....I recently came back to MFP, too.

    Day 15—11/10— 178 - My body is still in a holding pattern. But things should be moving along this week. Will get some time on the stationary bike today.

    Day 16—11/11— 178 - Made a pot of Lasagna Alfredo soup yesterday....it is delicious! Plenty leftover for future meals. Dr's appointment later today. Scale staying the same....and that's ok!

    Day 17—11/12— 178.6 - Saw an allergist today. Wants me to cut out red meat for a week....after I finish the sausage alfredo lasagna soup...lol! We'll see what happens.

    Day 18—11/13— 178.2 - My SO took me to my parents graveside today to leave flowers then we went to the Jewish deli so I splurged today.....even had dessert. So tomorrow will likely not be a good day, but you have to splurge once in awhile.

    Day 19—11/14— 177.6 - WOW....thought for sure my weight would be up. I was prepared for it, but my body surprised me. Walk is on the agenda for this afternoon.

    Day 20—11/15— 178.6 - Had the munchies yesterday....I HATE when that happens. Will do better today. Going to the movies to see "The Real Pain" and I always take a diet drink and granola bar instead of buying junk. Dinner will be leftovers.

    Day 21—11/16— 178.2 - Not a great week. Need to add more protein. I plan a trip to the grocery today for some clams and a rotisserie chicken. Going to make some low cal/carb Jello Fluff, too.


    Week 3 Goal: 177
    Week 3 actual weight: 178.4

    I'm still at a standstill at 148 lbs. I'm glad the daily weigh in is working well for folks. For me, it gives me frustration. I am opting to stop the daily weigh in and move to weekly on Saturdays.

    Yes, it is different for everyone. Whatever works best for you.

    So much of this is a mind game. For me, knowing that I will be weighing in the morning stops another few bites at night. I did used to weigh once per week, but even if I had a good week water, sodium etc. might have me up in weight on my weekly weigh and I would be so discouraged.

    Hi : - )
    I am Dawn.
    5'2"
    64 years old
    Cranbrook, BC, Canada

    The most that I have ever lost on one of these 100s is 7lbs.
    I am not sure what it is going to take, but I would like to get back to 130 and below.
    I started my weight loss journey because my doc threatened to put me on blood pressure medication for the rest of my life. I joined MFP at 198 pounds although I had been heavier than that.
    I lost enough weight to chase away high blood pressure, but now the doc is saying that my arthritis in knees, feet, and ankles would benefit greatly by me dropping another 30 pounds. That number used to be 15 pounds, but I have been gaining and gaining these last couple of years.
    I am an active person, and eat nutritious food.


    Week 1 Goal: 145.6
    Week 1 actual weight: 143.6- Started the week at 146.6

    Week 2 Goal: 143.0
    Week 2 actual weight: 144.8 - Started the week at 145.0

    Day 15—11/10— 147.8

    Day 16—11/11— 147.4 - I didn't get a chance to post yesterday. As usual I weighed and tracked. Way up from where I want to be : - (

    Day 17—11/12— 147.8 - Banner day, I was hoping to see a drop tomorrow, but there is a possibility that I am going out for dinner with a friend tonight. Restaurant for me always equals 3lb gain. We'll see.

    Day 18—11/13— 146.8 - My two longest days between the 2 jobs begin today. I need to pack up some food to take with me. Expensive day off, I have 2 things that need to be done to my car with expensive parts ordered and paid for.

    Day 19—11/14— 145.8 - Ate extremely late after my second job last night. I still only had 1100 calories, so I really did need to eat. Borscht that I had finished up in the morning that was on the stove cooling in the big pot. Turned out great! I had a small salad with chicken in it also. Glad that my weight wasn't up after basically going to bed right after eating at midnight.

    Day 20—11/15— 145.2 - Another late night and late eating. I managed to get almost all of the Borscht packed up into containers for the freezer at midnight, then had a nice bowl of it. My experiment of trying not to eat when I get home from work is over. I managed it for a month or two. Eating just before bed is just going to have to be my norm, at least for now, otherwise I am sitting at 7-800 calories and that is not enough. Everything in my borscht is from my own garden: beets, potatoes, carrots, garlic, onions, thyme, beet greens...except for the meat. In this year's batch I used double smoked Mennonite Farmer's sausage. It turned out amazing, and I have lots of meals in the freezer so that I can take one thing out in the morning and not have to cook again for many many months.

    Day 21—11/16— 144.4 - I really did try to sleep in this morning, I have been tired for days from my 2 jobs. Just one short shift at one of my jobs today later. Day off and Ice skating tomorrow : - )
    @Lynn__W I think that I am falling into the category of food for fuel and for fun. Sorry that you had the dizzies!

    Challenge Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
    Total Lost/Gained this challenge: xxxxx


    Previous Rounds Tally & Thoughts:
    I am Sick and Tired of being Sick and Tired. I mean, I am LITERALLY both Sick with many ailments and Tired of putting myself through this back & forth! I weighed 181.6 on January 1st, 2024. This has not been a good year for me. How much progress I can make in November, December and January is very very questionable, at the very least. Those months are riddled with holidays, baking pies and cakes, making cookies and fudge. Lots of decadent dishes high in calories and carbs. And lots of shopping excursions away from home which always include restaurants and long car rides. So many celebrations including multiple family birthdays as well! These are the hardest months of the year for most of us. But I’m not throwing in the towel just yet!. I will do ALL I can, As I can, When I can. Life is going to happen and I will definitely live it, but there are lots of days where progress can still be made and/or damages can be mitigated. I must stay steadfast and strong in my resolve. This is about my health journey, not just my weight journey. I will not give up based on what month the calendar page is on!

    Day 18-11/13-191.6-(Trend weight 191.4)

    Day 19-11/14-192.0-(Trend weight 191.5)

    Day 20-11/15-191.2-(Trend weight 191.4) I pulled myself up out of my bad mood and stopped feeling sorry for myself yesterday finally. I made a nice low carb meatloaf that I can eat on for a couple of days. I love meatloaf sandwiches for lunch and will use low carb healthy bread for it. It’s opening day for deer hunting so the schools are all closed. My DGS will be home all day and keeps me on my toes! That should burn a few extra calories. DD wants to make a pork roast for dinner in her new crock pot she brought with her to try out. I will plan that in my pre-log and make it work. Have a great weekend everyone!

    Day 21-11/16-190.4-(Trend weight 191.3) I ate very light for lunch and dinner yesterday so I could have ice cream with DD, DS and DGS last night. I didn’t want or need to feel denied. I must admit that ice cream is a weak point for me. The only thing more tempting is probably donuts (which I haven’t had in quite some time). I took too much in a bowl out of “old me” habits and realized that “new me” doesn’t really eat that much at one time anymore. But I didn’t realize it until I was finished and my belly felt over full and bloated. So I’m surprised to see a drop this morning, even with lighter meals. I weighed in about 2 hours later than normal this morning so I’m not sure if that is why I’m having a drop. I guess I’ll find out tomorrow. I just hope the ice cream doesn’t show up later, which sometimes happens. Lots of good sleep last night but not enough water yesterday which is probably why I wasn’t up & down all night like usual. Whoever said “you can’t have it all” was absolutely right!
    Anyway, it looks as if I lost the nearly ½ lb I gained last week so I’m all caught up. Now it’s time for some real progress!
