Amazing Lacerta! Congrats on the woosh!
Rie ~ I'll look into that app!

Sorry for short personals today; just a quick check-in before quite a busy day ahead. Weigh-in was 149.7, so it is quite apparent my body is...Idk, confused? :lol: Or the sodium wooshed out. Who knows! I had McDonald's for dinner though, but stuck to keto. So part of me doesn't think it's the sodium. I AM SO CONFUSED! Haha! I have one other theory, but since it isn't all THAT serious, I'll check it out later.

Total October Weight Loss:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~
Welp I managed to lose 0.5 lbs last week. While I am happy that I lost weight and didn't gain, I know I need to step up my game with my eating to really start losing! Yesterday I was both good and bad, I went on my second run of the week and managed to go a little bit further in the same amount of time which I'm happy with. However (always a however!) I was not good on the food front. I had a banana for breakfast, a nutrigrain bar, a slice of Costco pizza, a bagel, butter chicken curry and then fruit. Too much! I really didn't need that bagel but once we picked them up from Costco I just felt this urge to eat one and gave myself the "I only had a small breakfast" excuse and completely glazed over the fact I had a greasy slice of pizza an hour before. Saying that I really didn't need the slice of pizza but don't take that away from me yet :lol:

On to hopefully a better week! I'm feeling confident I can fit in my runs this week, so I'm determined on that front. I do know that when I start exercising I stall in my weight loss then suddenly I'll have a whoosh. This might be a frustrating month for me because of that, just need to keep reminding myself of that!

VickieLou, Atarimae, Lacerta - Well done on your weigh ins!

Keep on trucking, gardenerjoy!

Hi Everyone! I kept creeping up on the scale last week. I know partly it was due to salt and maybe partly to time of the month approaching. I am starting this week a little higher than last, but hoping to show some progress this week. :)

Welcome, everyone! Let me know if I messed anything up -- it's easily remedied!

Atarimae: 6.2 lbs
etherbunny: 3 lbs
gardenerjoy: 1 kg
Keala: 8.6 lbs
Lacerta: 4.2 lbs
Linewife: 11.4 lbs
Mara: 11.8 lbs
Riestrella: 4 lbs
VickieLou: 10 lbs

sgregg: congratulations on the pregnancy! If you want to use this thread for a controlled weight gain, we're happy to accommodate that.

Great week for me, ending on yet another new low. Not a huge whoosh, but any loss the first 10 days of any month is always welcome for me, and this was a good loss for me for any week. Less than a pound away from changing my avatar again.

The first week did not go as I hoped, but this is a journey. I'm down .4 today, so hoping the rest of the 2nd week goes better.

01: 313.8

Still hanging out in the 173s, which is fantastic during my busy time. Had an 11 hour day today, and probably will be about that tomorrow again. This month is especially busy as we are getting ready to go live on a new web portal for all our tenants and rental owners, and it requires a lot of extra data gathering and input to get ready. It will be awesome once it is up, but it is some work to get there. And that is on top of my normal 8th to 10th crazy time. So a little busy this week. But I'm finding that I'm a lot less upset by it than I used to be. I think the weight loss is starting to improve my attitude about work as well as everything else, which is fantastic.

Phew, falling slightly behind on the check-ins! I have to be quite honest, and this feels like such a safe platform to do so. So...I FINALLY (about 10 years too late) got my wisdoms pulled. Which means the weight will be fluctuating until I can eat things beyond liquids and soft foods. It felt nice to finally take care of myself (which included having more dentist appointments this year than I did in the last 15). I definitely don't want to go through this trouble and the pain/discomfort of having dental work again. :lol: Well, with that said, this liquid diet is making me unbearably hungry all day, so I advanced to soft solids. Tomorrow is weigh-in. OH BOY!

Atarimae: Ugh. Feel better soon. I got mine surgically removed at 15. One side swelled up and the other side bruised. I looked like a lopsided chipmunk who'd lost a fight. I was sick for 3 days. On the other hand, my husband had his pulled after they'd come in, and he went back to work the same day. Hope yours is more like his was and you are back to normal soon.

Mara: That's exactly right, it is a journey and every journey worth making includes a few detours. If you learned anything this week about things to do, or things not to do, or things you could do differently, it was a successful week, regardless of what the scale says.

That was a surprise this morning. After a long day at work, especially during my busy time, I never lose weight, plus this morning was an hour early and prebathroom. Imagine my delight when I discovered I was at another new low today. This has been a good month so far for me. I just wanted to stay under 175 until after the 10th, and here I am on the verge of 172.x.

Thanks Lacerta! I purposely chose this Monday to do them, since we had a week off for October break. Mine had all come in already. Kind of hoping they were part of the contributing factor in all my bad sinus problems. Two days later, and I'm seemingly fine! Congrats on your new low! That is so awesome and you've been doing so well.

Weight went a little up, to 150.2 today, but it's alright! Still trying to remain on liquid and soft foods, so I am not in ketosis...but also hoping that I stay hydrated and nourished. I don't think I'll edit tickers, even though it's a Wednesday. :P
