@starrjulia8 I’m so envious! Love Texas Roadhouse but haven’t seen one in ages! Surf and turf is one of my faves!1

@Zondeare I have found “embracing a new internal picture of myself” to be particularly difficult, perhaps because the old me was there for almost 60 years! Here’s to both of us!
Ok no idea why the weight grab came up but can’t delete it! And just like that it disappeared. This is why I AM STRESSED OUT TODAY! TECHNOLOGY! Bah humbug!3 -

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

12/3 118.5
12/4 117.5 My DH is driving me crazy with his obsessing about something/anything daily.
12/5 118.0 We ate at Golden Corral yesterday-Early Bird Special. It wasn’t crowded at 3:30 and we were finished and leaving by 4:30. OMAD
12/6 118.0 DH had headache and slept a lot yesterday and didn’t want to eat. I should have ignored him and fixed dinner early (3-4) because I was getting pretty darn hungry by 5:30 when it was ready! He ate and his h/a improved. I got over 9 hours of sleep last night!!! WHOO HOO! That is unheard of!
12/7 118.0 Going shopping today
12/8 116.5 Yesterday we didn’t eat until 3:45pm on the way home from shopping. Outdoor dining at In-N-Out - the weather was perfect! I did have a handful of almonds around 8.
12/9 117.0
12/10 117.0 So frustrated with technology! Had to create a new password in my health insurance app 3 times in 2 days. It didn’t recognize it after I changed it so I entered the same one again this time it said I couldn’t use an old password! WTF (You can make of that whatever you like.) Then my Garmin wasn’t syncing! Spent an hour chatting with them! We haven’t had hot water more than a trickle in the kitchen tap for more than a month. Finally got new faucet from MOEN and had it installed yesterday. Now the water has quit coming through the refrigerator! Seriously sorry for carrying on but I. AM. FEELING. AT THE END OF MY ROPE! And now the damn cat is trying to bite me!!
Sorry for the whining-UGH!8 -
@kmort009 @UTMom81 @Anabirgite @_JeffreyD_ @SheilaBoneham
Stuck in the passenger seat for 4 hours, but have a pad of paper. I know my weight on dec 1 and this morning. I just looked up my TDEE for dec 1 - 9 and calories consumed in the same time. My net deficit during that time was 6202 calories which divided by 3500 calories/lb means I should have lost 1.771 lb. my scale says that during that same period of time, I lost 1.8 lb. I am blown away. Will be testing another time period to see if the accuracy remains.

Round 132 (7): 139.6 to 138.8 (-0.8 lbs)
Round 133 (8): 138.8 to 137.0 (-1.8 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- Enjoy the holidays and all the associated treats in moderation. Focus on enjoying the moments, not binging on the sweets.
- Train to be able to run a 5K without stopping by New Years Day.
12/3 - 136.8 - In for another round! Really want to work hard and lose another pound or two before Christmas. The temptation is starting already though - my daughter declared last night that she wants to make Christmas cookies today. I’ve got the sugar cookie dough defrosting in the fridge - we’ll have so much fun! I just have to limit myself to one cookie.
12/4 - 136.0 - Hello, mini-whoosh! Haven’t had one of you in awhile. Had a great day yesterday - we did do the cookies though we used leftover orange frosting, so they kind of ended up as Halloween/Christmas hybrid cookies. 😂. The one I had was delicious though! And it’s great to be able to model healthy attitudes toward food to my daughter. Today she’s saying she wants to go exploring (and I want to get us outside as much as possible before the new stay-at-home order kicks in here in the Bay Area) so I’m hoping to take the kids to a nearby open space. We’ll see what happens when I tell them that means they have to put on their shoes. 🤣
12/5 - 136.2 - My county announced yesterday that we are implementing a new stay-at-home order starting on Sunday. No non-essential travel, no social gatherings of any kind, non-essential businesses shut down again. We’ve been in a social “pod” with one other family and our twice-weekly play dates have been a major part of the structure of our week. I know we are incredibly lucky to be in a position to weather this relatively easily, but it’s still a blow. However, we will absolutely do what we need to in order to help slow the spread of this virus. Now I need to focus on helping my kids through this and not just turning to cookies, cakes, candy and all the holiday treats to “make myself feel better.” *sigh*
12/6 - 136.2 - A short workout this morning, before a pancake breakfast with the family and a virtual book club Zoom call. Just finished getting most of my meal prep done - carrot cake overnight oats for breakfast, chipotle shredded chicken for lunch and a Tuscan chicken stew in the slow cooker for dinner tonight. Whew!
12/7 - 136.2 - Yesterday didn’t go so well - slipped and had several more cookies than I should have last night. We’ll see if it affects the scale in the next few days. I did manage to stop myself from eating even more of them - and I was beating myself up for awhile about it. But I spent a chunk of my yoga/wind-down time thinking of all the progress I’ve made and everything I’ve accomplished, and how one time of a couple hundred extra calories can’t undo that. I’ll do better today, and tomorrow and the next day.
12/8 - 135.4 - I like that number! Maybe I should eat more shortbread cookies. 😂. Good day so far - did 45 minutes of Just Dance before breakfast and then took the kids out for a hike (if I call it a hike instead of a walk, they’ll wear their backpacks and my carry their own snacks 😉). Move goal on my Apple Watch complete before lunch!
12/9 - 135.6 - The Fitness app on my watch has been saying my average TDEE is about 2400 calories a day. That seemed really high to me, but I did the math last night. If I’m eating around 1600 a day (which is what I aim for but I’m not super precise) and burning 2400, that would put me at a loss of 1.6 lbs a week - and HappyScale has my rate at 1.5. Nice to know the numbers really do work out! 😂
12/10 - 135.6 - Have to keep reminding myself that the whole idea was to maintain this month. That I’m already 5 lbs under where I hoped to be at this time back when I started. That the point is to be able to enjoy those cookies and holiday treats without beating myself up. I just feel myself slipping - extra bites here and there, “just one cookie” sort of things without tracking because I know it will turn my MFP calorie allowance negative. It’s obviously not really impacting my weight yet, but I don’t want to fall down into a spiral of overeating and hiding it.
12/11 -
12/12 -
12/3 - Walked/jogged 1.57 miles last night. I’d like to find a good C25K program that I could jump into - I don’t need to start from the beginning, but I’d like a plan to help me get to a full 5K without breaks.
12/4 - Walked/jogged 2.1 miles last night. I also downloaded the C25K app - I think I can start with Week 6 and work up from there. Hardest part will be getting the dog to cooperate!
12/5 - So...I hope this is ok, but after a lot of thought yesterday, I am going to change my goal for this challenge. I do still want to be able to run a 5K without stopping, but this new stay-at-home order made me rethink whether that’s what I need to be working towards right now. As I explained above, my kids (and I) are losing our only social outlet - our play dates with our “pod family” - which have been a major factor in keeping my 5-year old (and therefore me and my almost 2-year old) grounded. Even with them, it’s been rough on her and she’s acted out a lot... and I’m ashamed to say I haven’t been as patient and calm as I’d like to be when she has. I think it’s a fitting way to end 2020 by focusing on connecting to and centering myself - so I don’t turn to food to deal with this stay-at-home situation, and so I can better support my kids as they go through it as well. Very very long way of explaining that I’m changing my goal to 15-20 minutes of yoga and mindfulness meditation each night before bedtime. If anyone has suggestions for videos/apps they like, I’d love to hear them.
12/6 - No yoga yet, but I sat and just breathed for about 10 minutes last night after everyone else went to bed.
12/7 - Did a 12 minute set of “wind down” yoga and then some sitting and breathing before bed last night
12/8 - Skipped yoga last night; will make sure to do it tonight
12/9 - I’m glad I changed my goal, because this is actually proving to be a challenge for me! You wouldn’t think taking 15 minutes for myself to do yoga each night would be hard, but it’s proving to be rather difficult. I did it last night, but nearly skipped it. Will make sure to get it in tonight as well.
12/10 - 20 minutes of bedtime yoga in front of the fire and Xmas tree last night. So nice!

JGM10D Round 134🎄🎅🏻🌟🤶🌟🎅🏻🌟🎄
🎄 DECEMBER 🎄
🎄🌟🎅🏻🌟🤶🌟🎅🏻🌟🎄
Looking forward:
You are not stuck at home
You are SAFE at home
One word can change your attitude
☠️One cough can change your life☠️
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
December focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:2020 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 134- Stabilise weight under 150
- Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
- Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
- Cut down on eating between meals by keeping busy
Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:- 2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
- 2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
- 2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Working on it. Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
- That's a WIN in my book!
- 2020
- Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
- (One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

@antiderivative Happiest of birthdays to you!
Sorry, didn’t mean to go dark on the conversation today! Just a crazy day with the kids and I don’t like to be on my phone around them.
@UTMom81 - I’m using it to get a better understanding of what my TDEE actually is, and what impact my activities each day have on it. So many of the online calculations don’t define activity levels well - and most of the advice I saw was to assume you are sedentary. I’d set originally set MFP to “Lightly Active” and to lose 0.5 lbs a week, which currently gives me 1,560 calories a day. That’s clearly NOT accurate, since I’ve been losing around 6-7 lbs a month, but it’s been working so I’ve just rolled with the calorie amount. However, if I want to eat at maintenance, or change up my exercise routine, now I know I can look at my watch TDEE number to get a better sense of what to aim for or what the impact would be.
@SheilaBoneham - Thanks for the link to SailRabbit! I hadn’t seen that one before. The key is getting the right multiplier - I have to select “Very Active” for the TDEE to get into the range I’m seeing on my watch. I never would have assumed that my exercise plus daily activities would equal that - but that’s the loss I’m seeing and I’m certain that if I’m misrepresenting my calories eaten it would be by going too low rather than too high!
@_JeffreyD_ - I love playing with data too - I really want to export the data from MFP and HappyScale and match them up.
@antiderivative - Have a wonderful birthday!

70 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.
The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/03 169.9 ~ {Steps 6,981} ~ Spot on with diet and a shorter workout. I pulled a hamstring a couple days ago so basically besides yoga, I’m only talking Pete for his morning walk.
12/04 169.9 ~ {Steps 8,985} ~ I decided to start decorating, haven’t been in the mood lately. 😖
12/05 169.9 ~ {Steps 14,195} ~ I’ve NEVER had the scale the same for 3 days, my sodium isn’t high or calories. The only difference is my workouts. I’m thinking I might have to get another SHORT walk in.on the bright spot my hamstring isn’t as bad.
12/06 168.5 ~ {Steps 6,483} ~ woot hoot, now it’s time to keep the scale moving the right direction. The key is to keep moving 🚶♀️and healthy food choices 🫐🍌🥒🍎🧅🍆
12/07 ~ 167.5 ~ {Steps 10,431} ~ Today we decided to take a day drive, just to get a different out of dodge, lol. It helped tremendously, finding a nice trail to get a walk with my husband.
12/08 167.5 ~ {Steps 16,653} ~ A good all around day...
12/09 167.3 ~ {Steps TBD 6,162} ~ I couldn’t sleep so the whole day, I actually felt sickly.
12/10 168 ~ {Steps 14,056} ~ I don’t understand the scale, oh well! Today started out weird, got some errands out of the way, yay. Having a good nights sleep helped 100%. Hopefully the scale will go down to get to my goal.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/02 …..206.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/03 …..206.2 ….. A low cal day to put things back in order.
12/04 …..203.6 ….. I actually counted how many times I got up last night to pee and in 5 hours I got up 10 times! That is a lot, even for a diabetic. I presume much of this overnight loss is fluid although I don’t recall eating anything that would retain such water! I did eat another low calorie and lower carb day but I didn’t get in many steps or movement. It was a paperwork day. Today I work on Christmas decorating a new house where nothing is planned or measured. Gotta start fresh on where to put things. I am struggling to make decisions.
12/05 …..203.8 ….. Hopefully rehydrated after a large fluid loss.
12/06 …..203.4 ….. I’m still bouncing around in the 203 range so that is a big YAY for me. I thought the big drop between the Dec 3 and Dec 4 would not stick. This just inspires me even more….. Come on Onederland!
12/07 …..202.6 ….. I am determined to not let this holiday season put me in my typical downward spiral into H – E – Double Hockeysticks. 3 small light meals yesterday and no snacks.
12/08 …..203.4 ….. A Very Very late dinner last night (after midnight). I was so hungry that I went back for seconds. Lesson learned (but will it be remembered by my brain fog brain?) I must eat earlier so I’m not so ravished! I will focus on a low cal day today but spread my meals out and eat proper!
12/09 …..204.0 ….. Someone brought over my trigger food – Donuts. So it’s my fault because I (over) ate them. Gotta get this train back on it’s tracks.
I'm still down 2.8 lbs for this round so I am going to hang onto my progress and not let go!
12/10 …..204.2 ….. up 0.2 more. This is EXACTLY how it sneaks up on you!
12/11 …..xxxxx …..
12/12 …..xxxxx …..
My goal is to Dance for 20 minutes per day to increase my calorie burn.
Dec 01 – Danced 20 minutes and my was it harder than last time!
Dec 02 – Danced my heart out for 20 minutes.
Dec 03 – No dancing. Paperwork and wrapping presents.
Dec 04 – Danced for 20 minutes to mostly classic rock.
Dec 05 – Danced for about 22 minutes to a nice mix of music.
Dec 06 – Lots of movement but no dancing due to workmen here all day and continued unpacking.
Dec 07 – More workers here and no dancing. However, if you count going up and down stairs for hours as exercise, I got in my fair share!
Dec 08 – Danced about 8 minutes. Better than nothing I suppose.
Dec 09 – 20 minutes of dancing and it knocked the wind out of me. Slower songs next time until I get used to it again!

Me to, I find that internal picture of myself very difficult to retain having being a very unhealthy weight for over 50 years - I still sometimes have to have a double take at my image in the mirror particularly when out strangely enough, or even when I catch a reflection of my profile in a shop window as I pass. I think that overweight picture of myself is ingrained in my memory and will never be erased !!!3 -

he 'drops' will be progressively difficult as December moves along. I'm OK with that. In fact, I will probably gain a few lbs. I don't deny myself the many food and beverage celebrations that come with the holiday season but the log will be for honesty sakes.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/03 179.0 Baby, it’s COLD outside! So all my exercise was done inside yesterday. I’ve done 18:6 IF the past two days so I think that is helping me.
12/04 178.0 Had a really good food day yesterday and did 19:5 IF.
12/05 176.8 This feels great! If I know my body though, it’ll blip back up tomorrow. But I’m enjoying it today! Did 16:8 yesterday with the IF. Hopefully the weather will clear a bit today, and I can get in an outdoor walk. Got the Christmas tree up and will decorate it today if all goes as planned. Soon, I’ll be traveling to NC to be with my Mom. Dad says there’s a plan to bring her home from the hospital, but it’s complicated and he’s so exhausted he can’t articulate it well. Will find out more this evening. I don’t think there’s any hope that she pulls out of this though. Just a matter of time.
12/06 177.2 I figured this was coming after yesterday’s big drop, but I’m ok with it. It’s still trending down really well of late. I brought my scales to my parents’ house because I will have to really keep a close eye on things while I’m here or I will undo all my hard work.
12/07 177.6 Had a good food day yesterday and got in lots of exercise, so I’m not sure why this continues to go back up. Will have to see what I can do about this today. I can’t fast very well here at my parents’ house though. They just wouldn’t understand it. So that will work against me.
12/08 176.8 Here we go! I did get in a 17:7 IF yesterday after all. Not so hard when everyone sleeps late (but me of course). Then it was so frantic around here after they got up, I barely had time to think about eating. So many hospice deliveries of equipment and such. It was a blur.
12/09 177.2 Folks are bringing in food now. Have to be careful. 17:7 IF
12/10 176.6 Who has time to eat in the middle of something like this? I am prioritizing a little bit of exercise time though, and I’m thankful that everyone understands my need for that. The fasting hasn’t been an issue. No one has time or energy to notice. 16:8 IF Today’s goal is to figure out a way to track the hours of the caregivers we have coming in and track the essentials of Mom’s care. Kept me awake last night.
12/11 176.6 Good food day yesterday and only a little exercise. Holding steady. Hope I get to keep this overall loss for the round! 16:8 IF
12/12

12/03 Did 2 miles of Leslie Sansone video and really enjoyed it. She really works you out, full-body! I’m still a little uncoordinated for some of the moves she adds in, but it’s fun and hopefully I’ll get less clutsy as I do more.
12/04 Rode 35 minutes and 8.52 miles on my exercise bike. No walking other than 11K+ steps, but I’m only counting real “walking outside or in an exercise walk” miles.
12/05 Rode 30 minutes for 7.58 miles. No walks, but 13k steps getting things done around the house trying to get ready for Christmas and cook some meals to put in my parents’ freezer for whatever the future holds. Realized this morning that I had confused some bike and walking miles when working on the totals, so I’ve gone back to correct the totals in this post.
12/06 Rode my Dad’s ancient elliptical bike last night. It’s harder than mine, but it’s better than nothing. Cranked out a tough 4 miles on this total body machine and I’m feeling it in my arms a bit this morning. Hope to get in a long walk today before they bring Mom home.
12/07 Got in a 3.16 mile walk before EMS brought Mom home. I had planned for 4 miles, but Dad called right in the middle of it and I had to make a beeline back to their house by a shorter route. But I had almost 18K steps with everything that was going on, so at least I stayed active!
12/08 Carved out enough time before bed to get in 5 miles on the ancient elliptical bike thingy. Felt great! My brother promises he’ll come relieve me for an hour or so to let me get in a good walk today. We shall see! Making sure I get in some exercise though sure is helping me cope with Mom’s condition. So happy to be working toward an exercise goal in the midst of all this.
12/09 Was able to go on a walk, not as long as I wanted, at only 2.69, but I’m just thankful my brother relieved me long enough to do that.
12/10 I grew up in this neighborhood, but took a turn yesterday that didn’t go where I thought it went. Ended up having to use GPS to get back to Mom and Dad’s house. LOL. 2.5 miles right before dark.
12/11 Only 4 miles on Dad’s bike thing because I didn’t get any time until right before bed.
Total toward 100 mile goal walked by 12/31 (since 11/14)= 53.33 WALK
Total Bike Miles toward Goal: 52.93 BIKE
