Total Loss for Week Four:

Not quite back into the 217s, but almost.

SW: 275.5
GW: 270

1: 273.5 Post-TOM whoosh! Miffed that it didn't happen yesterday for my September goal, but happy that it gives me an early boost for October!
2: 273 There was obviously a bit more water to lose - my rings fit again!
3: 272
4: 271.5
5: 270.5 I didn't expect a loss today but there it is. Over a month it's 7 pounds, so not unreasonable, but 6.5 of those pounds have been lost in the last week. I guess that's what happens when you're sedentary for a long time and then suddenly you aren't.
6: 271
7: 271.5 Another bump up today. Totally expected, especially as I did very little yesterday.

Total loss for Week One: -4 pounds
.................................................. ...........................................

8: 273 Another bump! I did absolutely nothing yesterday except watch F1 and eat 2100 calories so although I know I didn't eat enough to put on 1.5 pounds, it's not a surprise. Back to university on Tuesday so all of this sitting around and eating lark will stop!
9: 273 No change today
10: 273 I think the scale is on strike!
11: 273 Yawn...
12: 273 How??? Go up, go down, just do something!!
13: 273 I'm being trolled by my scale...
14: 273.5 Yay!!! I don't care that it's gone up! It moved!

Total loss for Week Two: +2 pounds
Total loss for October: -2 pounds
.................................................. .................................................. .......

15: 272 Very unexpected! The only reason I can think of is that Fitbit says I'm due to ovulate tomorrow so I might have been holding onto water.
16: 273.5 Back up today but it was a pre-bathroom WI so who knows?
17: 273
18: 274 I posted yesterday and it disappeared...
19: 273.5
20: 271.5
21: 271.5 Hopefully it won't bounce up

Total loss for Week Three: -2 pounds
Total loss for October: -4 pounds
.................................................. .................................................

22: 271 I'm back to where I was on 10/6 - weight loss is weird...
23: 271.5 Bobbing around here for now apparently

YAY!!! Finally, I hit the 50 pound marker and got to change my avatar. Very excited. And made my goal for the month, but considering it was last month's goal too, I'm not as excited about that part. But YAY, 50 pounds down.

I really thought I'd be up today, as I had to weigh in about an hour early. Lo and behold, I not only wasn't up, I was even down a little more. Yay. Let's see if tomorrow I can reach the 216s

Newlyn: Thanks, and you're right

flower1: Way to go, you're just about at your goal weight. How are you feeling?

I'm unplugging from the internet for a few days. I'll be back on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning to update our goal list and set up our November thread. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Newlyn: You definitely seem to be in a "stall and whoosh" pattern. 0.5 a pound over most of a month, then 6.5 pounds in one week, then staying there for most of the month, you are probably due for another awesome week.

Well...I have no idea where that came from, but I'll certainly take it. Yay. Now I just need to hang on to it until the end of the month. Right now, I'm only about 3.5 pounds behind where my original schedule planned to be to get me to my year end goal. And that plan had a 2 pound buffer built into it, so I'm only about 1.5 pounds behind where I need to be. That is a lot of motivation for staying on track over the holidays.

Lacerta Can't wait until tomorrow's check-in to say, "Wowwwwww!!!"

Well done Lacerta and flower1!

Lacerta It's strange. I've never experienced this before. In previous months it's been 0.5-1.5 loss/week, quite steadily, and it's only changed this month. I hope you're right that I'm due a whoosh!

I had pepperoni pizza yesterday, didn't go over my calories, but possibly made me retain water. So I'm not surprised to be back up today, but I still stayed in the 216s, which is great. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Thanks Newlyn and Tesni
