October 2012: Got into my maintenance range. Weight went back up at the end of the month due to the fair and DH's Birthday
November 2012: Above my maintenance range, but still working on things.
December 2012: Above my maintenance range. Went on a cruise.
January 2013: January 1 weight: 164 January 31 weight: 158.6 Above my maintenance range. Thyroid meds still off. Have been since the Summer, but getting better, as per Endo. Lowest weight in January 157.8.
February 2013: February 1 weight: 159.2 February 28 weight: 159.6 I was above my maintenance range throughout the month. Still working on things with the angio edema. I'm still having flare ups but I "feel" like things are getting better.
March 2013: I started March 1 at 160 on March 31 I weighed in at 159.4. I basically maintained for the month. I am not happy about that but it is better than a gain. Lowest weight in March was 157.2. Still working toward 150.
April 2013: I started April 1 at 161 on April 31 I weighed in at 158.2. I had a loss of 2.8 pounds. I feel that I have continued to maintain since my weight has been up and down all month and I have not gotten down to this year's low of 157.2 in March. Still working toward 150. I started taking the antihistamine twice a day this month. I had a 2+ pound gain overnight at the beginning of the month and woke to my left eye being almost swollen shut. I feel better since starting back to taking the antihistamine twice a day.
May 2013: I started May 1 at 158.2, on May 31 I weighed 159.8. The 3rd week of the month I changed my antihistamine. I changed to 1 Allegra AM and 2 Benadryl in the PM.
June 2013: Dr. increased my Synthroid meds again. She also advised me to start doing some yoga since I am still dealing with stress and it has continued to have a negative affect on my thyroid. I started June 1 at 159.8 and June 30 weighed 158.8. I had another month of maintaining, although, my goal is to start losing again.
July 2013: I started July 1 at 160, on July 31 I weighed 159. I maintained for another month, although my goal is to start losing again.
August 2013: I started August 1 at 159.6, on August 30 I weighed 159.4. I maintained for the month. On August 2 the Endo said that my thyroid meds were correct. She also said that it still might take a while for things to regulate.
September 2013: I started September 1 at 159.6, on September 30 I weighed 160.2. I am up on the scale a little, not what my goal is. The end of the month I had a significant angioedema flare up. I gained a few pounds from that and was trying to recover from it.
October 2013: I started October 1 at 159.6, on October 31 I weighed 159.2. I maintained my weight for another month. I had an abscessed tooth and needed a root canal done during the month. I took 1 round of antibiotics and it really bothered my stomach. I needed another round of antibiotics. This one started at the end of Oct. and will carry over into Nov. I don't seem to have the stomach issues with the new antibiotic.
November 2013: My goal was to maintain within a range since I had so many events during the month. I kept my calories consistently a little lower on nonevent days. I have also changed over to eating seafood at dinner rather than other protein sources.
December 2013: I tried to maintain my weight for December but I was not very successful. I also found out my thyroid meds are back out of range. The Dr. upped my Synthroid again. December 1, I weighed 165.6 and I weighed 170.4 on January 1.
January 2014: January 1, I weighed 170.4. January 31, I weighed 165.6. I lost some of my weight gain from the holidays.
February 2014: February 1, I weighed 164. February 28, I weighed 165.6. Not happy where this is going. Not sure about my thyroid. I had to cancel my Endo appointment due to insurance change. Rescheduled for June. Still working on things and doing my best.
March 2014: On March 1, I weighed 165.2. On March 31, I weighed 164.8. Down is down, right, LOL. Still trying.
April 2014: On April 1, I weighed 165. On April 30, I weighed 164.2. I am down .8. That's 1 pound in 2 months. Down is down, right? I also made an adjustment to my antihistamine/angioedema regimen half way through the month.
May 2014: On May 1, I weighed 164.4 on May 31 I weighed 167.4. I gained 3 pounds. Not a good month. Still working and trying to figure out what's going on. In June I will go back to the Endo to see about my thyroid meds. Still counting calories and working out daily.
June 2014: On June 1, I weighed 167, on June 30 I weighed 166.6. I had labs done. My thyroid meds are still too low and my Vitamin D levels are too low. Dr. increased my thyroid meds to 250 mcg per day and Vitamin D to 4000 IU.
July 2014: On July 1, I weighed 166.2, on July 31 I weighed 169.4.
August 2014: On August 1, I weighed 169.4. On August 30 I weighed 166.8. We went to an AYCE crableg dinner on August 30, so I am using August 30 as my final weigh in for the month. Also, on August 6 I stopped eating cruciferous vegetables. I want to see if that helps with thyroid issues since I eat a lot of them. This is the first time in a while that I saw weight loss. Not sure if that's from the added thyroid meds or from eliminating the cruciferous vegetables. Thyroid re-check will be in September.
September 2014: My weight stayed about the same for this month. My thyroid labs have improved some, but they are still not right. The Dr. did not want to change them since there is improvement. I am continuing to stay away from cruciferous vegetables and everything that is problematic to a thyroid patient.
October 2014: October 1, I weighed 167.2, October 31 I weighed 165.2. I started seeing some progress this month. I was actually a little lower but showed a gain from DH's birthday. Maybe things are started to regulate with my thyroid.
November 2014: November 1, I weighted 165.2, November 30 I weighed 168.8. The gain at the end of the month was due to Thanksgiving. My low for the month was 164.2. I did not bounce back into the 170's. Improvement?
December 2014: I started December 1 at 168.8. I went on a 10 day vacation starting at the end of the month. I didn't make any weight loss progress for the month. My goal was to try to maintain.
January 2015: First weigh in for January was 172.6, January 31, I weighed in at 171.4
February 2015: February 1 I weighed 171.2, February 28, I weighed 172.8. I had a gain for the month, but I'm still trying.
March 1, 2015 weigh in: 174.6 March 31 weigh in: 173.2
April 1, 2015 weigh in: 173.6 April 30 weigh in: 174.2
May 1, 2015 weigh in: 174 May 31 weigh in 174.4. TTOM was going on at the end of the month.
June, 1, 2015 weigh in: 173.4, June 30 weigh in: 173.6 My TTOM started toward the end of the month, so I had extra weight from that. I basically maintained for the month.
July 1, 2015 weigh in: 173.2, July 31 weigh in 172. I had a small loss for the month. I tweaked a couple things toward the end of the month. TTOM started at the end of the month, so I haven't been able to see much in regard to the tweaking that I made.
August 1, 2015 weigh in: 171.6, August 31 weigh in: 167. I HAVE FINALLY MADE SOME PROGRESS! I lost 4.6 pounds for the month! I tweaked things a little, not much. I'm not sure which tweak made the difference. I increased my workout time a little (15 minutes). I switched my coffee from sugar to sugar/stevia combo. I also switched from my morning juice to coconut water. The calories are the same in the juice/coconut water. The coconut water has a lot more potassium. Not sure which tweak helped maybe it was all of them together. Continuing with the same for September and see where it takes me.
September 1, 2015 I weighed 167, September 30, I weighed 164.8. I had a 2.2 pound loss for the month. My thyroid labs were off. Some numbers were hypo and others hyper. The Dr. lowered the Synthroid a bit but added in generic Cytomel. I'm not converting the Synthroid properly. We'll see how that goes. My female hormones were also in the range of a postmenopausal female and the Dr. was surprised that I was still having a regular TTOM. My last TTOM was mid August and I did not have one in September. I am obviously going through the change.
October 1, 2015 I weighed 164.8. On October 31, I weighed 165.8. My low for the month was 161.2. I had a gain at the end of the month due to celebrating DH's Birthday and going to the fair. I had thyroid labs done and my numbers are starting to improve.
November 1, 2015 I weighed 168.8 (weight was higher due to the fair and DH's birthday) On November 30 I weighed 165. We just celebrated our anniversary and had Thanksgiving, so my weight was up. My low for November was 161. I am happy that I got through 4 big events in October/November without bouncing back into the 170's.
December 1, 2015 I weighed 164.6. On December 31 I weighed 168.8. I had a low of 157.4 the day we left for vacation. I was thrilled to be in the 150's, now I need to work to get back to it since I know I can do it.
January 1, 2016 I weighed 169.2. On January 31 I weighed 168.4. I wasn't able to lose much of the vacation/Christmas gain. I had 2 TTOM's this month. I was on plan but the whole month was a struggle. Still working, though.
February 1, 2016 I weighed 167.2. On February 29 I weighed 167.4. That's a gain of .2, so basically I maintained. No progress on the Christmas vacation gain but I'm continuing to work on it.
March 1, 2016 I weighed 167.2. On March 31 I weighed 170.4. I had a gain at the end of the month from Easter. I didn't show much of a loss during the month, but mostly maintained.
April 1, 2016 I weighed 169.6. On April 30 I weighed 169.2. I basically maintained for the month. Still trying for the 150's.
May 1, 2016 I weighed 169.6. I didn't weigh in on May 31 due to being on a short Memorial weekend vacation. I did have a significant gain on this vacation.
June 1, 2016 I weighed 179.4. On June 30 I weighed 168.0. I had a significant gain from our Memorial weekend mini vacation. So, I spent the month getting rid of that gain and the gain from Father's day. In July I have a wedding, 4th of July weekend, and my birthday. I will try to enjoy these events in moderation (except for my birthday ) in order to keep my gain as small as possible.
July 1, 2016 I weighed 168.2. On July 31 I weighed 171.2. I had a wedding to attend, the 4th of July celebration, and my birthday. Too many events, but still working on things, not giving up.
August 1, 2016 I weighed 171.2. On August 31 I weighed 173.4. I showed a gain, but I am still working on things. Not giving up or giving in. Not an option.
September 1, 2016 I weighed 172.8. On September 30 I weighed 172.4. I basically maintained for the month.
October 1, 2016 I weighed 171.6. On October 31 I weighed 175. We went out to celebrate Teddy's birthday on the 30th and my TTOM started. Oh, joy! LOL
November 1, 2016 I weighed 175, on November 30 I weighed 174.6. I haven't made any progress, but at least I maintained through our Wedding Anniversary and Thanksgiving.

March 1, 2017 I weighed 175.4, March 31 I weighed 177.2. I am not going in the right direction. I need to get things under control.

ending October with 10LB loss for the month! WhooHoo!!September was an extremely stressful month. First of all, my parents decided to sell the house. I've been staying with them the past few years (paying rent & splitting the bills - not mooching) and they've decided that we live too far from town. My parents each drive an hour one-way to work every day. Whenever we need to do grocery shopping or run errands, it's at least an hour each way. It's horrible. Another reason they want to sell is a better layout - the current house is great but we would love to find a house that gives me my own separate living area and a home office since I work from home. We spent the first three weeks of September getting the house ready to sell - decluttering, cleaning, repairing things like broken tile & chipped paint and painting just about every room. Outside we did a ton of landscaping. It was exhausting. Since we listed the house last week, we have had a showing every evening - which means eating fast food every night. I really have no idea how many calories I've been eating and my exercise consists of vacuuming & cleaning. I hope we get an offer soon. I'll be so happy when all this is over. I can't wait to live closer to town. I'm planning on getting a gym membership since I'll finally be close to one.
Since selling the house is so stressful and I'm not even focused on my diet right now, I'm going to make a small goal this month of just under 4 lbs (hoping for more though).

8. DNW - My mom bought a bunch of Halloween candy because it was on sale and I've spent the last 3 days binging on it (Kit Kats, Recess & Twix, oh my!). Not good at all. I feel sick and I've been too scared to step on the scale. I'm getting back on track tomorrow - going to plan tomorrow's menu tonight and in the morning, I'm going to open my new Fitbit (was saving it to be a reward for getting to 186 but I need some motivation and help getting back on track). Not looking forward to weighing myself tomorrow but hopeful that I can quickly re-lose any gain.

Total Weekly Weight Loss: -0.8 - At least I lost something this week. I'm surprised I didn't gain with all the crap I've been eating (I'm addicted to corn candy - no wonder I can never lose in the fall/winter months).
Total October Weight Loss: -2.0 lbs
23. 196.6 lbs (
+0.2) - This was better than I thought. I really pigged out this weekend.

30. DNW - Had surgery to remove 4 wisdom teeth.
31. 200.0 lbs - I weighed-in in the middle of the day after I drank & ate a lot (have to eat every time I take my pain meds). My face is still swollen so there might be some water-weight as well.
October 1: 198.6 lbs
November 6 (didn't weigh-in Nov 1-5): 196.0 lbs
Total October Weight Loss: -2.6 lbs - I'll take it!!
I gained a lot the last week of October due to having wisdom teeth removed but, luckily, most of it was water weight which came right off as soon as I went back to eating normally.
*Weeks are changed to reflect my official weigh in day which is Monday.
