This is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I do hope that everyone will remember to schedule their mammograms. Mine saved my life.

My name is Donna. I am 65 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5β 5β tall. My highest weight was 253 in 2016. My MFP start weight was 235 in 2018. I weigh weekly but also on the 1st and last day of each month for a full monthβs account.

10/12 -- 181.8 β (Trend Weight: 184.2)
10/19 β 185.2 β (Trend Weight β 183.7) Traveled yesterday so this is up from what I would have normally expected this week. Itβs been a strange week. At one point my weight went up 5.2 lbs overnight, then dropped back down. Water retention is real, folks. Especially with a heart condition! I know much of this is water retention yet again.
πππππ 10/26 β 184.6 β (Trend Weight β 184.2) My weight is down this week but my trend weight is up because Iβve had a horrible week of mostly ups and the downs not being low enough to show progress. Iβve been dipping into the Halloween candy my daughter (who stays weekend with me) brings and undoing all the good Iβve accomplished during my meals. Iβm a night snacker so it feels like such self-sabotage after a good day of good meal planning. Iβve got to get a grip. Sugar is my addiction and addiction is often very ugly. Can I at least get back to my starting weight in October by the end of the round? 5 days to lose 1.6 lbs. I donβt think so but Iβm going to forge ahead and make as much progress as I can even in the face of Halloween goodies.

It was brought to my attention that after rigorous physical activity on Saturday, my bodyβs inflammatory response may have caused my weight gain last week.Β Β Iβve decided to change my weigh-in to Friday mornings before the weekend when I tend to do a lot of cooking, cleaning, and other activities that could result in inflammation and/or water weight. Maybe that will help me be less frustrated.
Though I didnβt make my October goal, Iβm ready to tackle November hopefully making it into the 170s!

Iβm disappointed in myself as I have no valid excuses. But although I sometimes give IN, I never give UP so Iβll move into November with head held high and hope in my heart. Nice job to everyone for showing up and doing your best. Your best is always good enough!
