FALL 2024 Weight Loss Challenge (OCTOBER, NOVEMBER and DECEMBER) A Continuation

Hi everyone!

Here I go. Not much progress, but at least a little bit. We'll see what it looks like the Wednesday after Thanksgiving weekend!

11/20/24: 154.8
11/27/24: 154.2 (lbs. lost since restart: 0.6, total lost: 0.6)

I will check back on Wednesday, December 4th. (Hopefully, I can atone for the feasting by then!)

Until then, I wish you and all of your loved ones a wonderful Thanksgiving and weekend!

💗Carole

Hi everyone,

I'm going to jump off this board because I've now subscribed to so many it's hard to keep up. I have now joined a daily weigh-in challenge for December so I will keep track there each day until 2025.

Best wishes for this holiday season and the year ahead!

Have a great weekend!
💗 Carole

Thank you, @jedaschultz !
I'm Chris - 74 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
My husband and I are retired.
I see my trainer for 60 mins three days a week and try to walk the other four days. The walking doesn't always work out.

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



12/01-194.2-(Trend Weight: 192.0)- Not a good way to start the month but yesterday was our family Thanksgiving feast so there’s that. Back to business and back to basics starting today!

12/02-192.8-(Trend Weight: 192.0)- This is a nice overnight drop but it’s coming off a higher weight due to my weekend Thanksgiving Dinner. Any scale drop I see coming off today’s number is what I will consider a real loss (not from fluid retention). December will be riddled with multiple challenges for most of us. Mine will be all the required travel to shop for Christmas. I do some of it online but I definitely get out for the hustle and bustle too. I will be working to keep things in check as often as I can. I plan on keeping my home a safe zone when I’m here as those days will really help the overall bottom line (and bottom overall lol). Baking and dessert making will be a challenge but that will not be until much later in the month so no reason not to work on some progress going into December. I’d like to start well and finish well once the Holiday is under my belt. Tomorrow I travel for a dental cleaning. Lunch will be out and I’ll try to get some shopping in while in the city. That’s one less trip later! Let’s have a good month my friends. Any loss is a good loss and any maintenance goals met or fitness goals met are Amazing.

12/01-194.2-(Trend Weight: 192.0)-

12/02-192.8-(Trend Weight: 192.0)-

12/09-194.0-(Trend Weight: 192.9)- We had a wonderful time yesterday seeing Moana 2 and having a little birthday party at a nearby restaurant while out of town yesterday. It’s always a joy to spend fun time with my DGS that I babysit. Scale is up today. I weighed on the basement floor again so I could get a direct comparison since I’ve been having some recent trouble with my scale. I’m still leary of how the scale is working since I got that weird reading yesterday of a 5 lb loss overnight, then a 2 lb gain. Keeping an eye on it! If yesterday’s final reading was correct then today’s is probably right. I would expect to have gained a pound or two after the travel and festivities of yesterday, so this makes sense. It’s going to be a rough week. Lots of special things planned. December is working out like it usually does so far and that is not so good when it comes to weight loss.

12/16-190.8-(Trend Weight: 192.8)- Wow what a busy week this is going to be. New female contractor here today which upset the old contractor so he won’t come until she’s done with the tile work in the bathroom! Insecure baby! Tuesday is the Christmas concert for the DGS I babysit which is local. Wed is general diabetes doctor appt for son & I just one town over so that won’t be more than a couple of hours. We have completely different clocks here in these small rural towns and the hands move much slower than regular clocks lol. Friday is an 8 hour round trip down to Ann Arbor Michigan for my oldest daughter’s Mammogram. We’ll be leaving at about 6 am. Saturday is DGS #3’s birthday. He is the one that is autistic like my son, and very hard to buy for but I happen to have a little experience in that department. In-between, the new contractor “Rachel” will come as often as I can let her. I continue to wrap presents everyday trying to catch up. I also am wrapping all the new stuff as UPS or FedEx arrives. I was happy with the scale today. A little more progress. I ate a little less than I’d planned as I started gagging on my dinner. It was food within plan that I love but sometimes that happens with me for an unknown reason. I’ve always considered it part of my eating disorders. I ended up eating something else later that felt “safe” and didn’t find I needed any snacks after that. T-Minus 2.8 lbs. 2.2 lbs to go on my mini goal of 5 lbs loss within no particular time frame. My general goal is 4 lbs per month but I decided to set a micro-mini goal of 5 lbs at a time no matter how long it takes because it seems so much more doable that looking at the Big Big Big picture of what I need to lose!

I’m still here and working on my goals. I haven’t been posting -- too much going on, I decided to spend my limited "me-time" working on my goals, rather than posting about them Anxiety eating took over for a bit, but I’m back on track.
