    @jaccimc63 I hope the appointment goes well and is a false alarm. If it doesn't, I hope he has a speedy treatment and recovery (also, don't be afraid of second opinions if the first doctor doesn't feel quite right in your gut). Remember to take care of yourself during all of this too. <3

    I hope you will both find comfort in knowing it is in God's hands. Praying for good news and/or a speedy pain-free and peaceful recovery - Whichever comes first! Faith......

    JGM10D Round 135
    🎄🎅🏻🌟🤶🌟🎅🏻🌟🎄
    🎄 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:
    • 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.
    Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

    Round 135

    Please join us! Starting on 12/13 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 135
    Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

    Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

    Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

    Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

    FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

    Goals
    - check in at least every other day
    - Participate
    - Low carb

    12/14 168.8 ~ {Step 12,553} ~ Spot on with workouts and diet, even with tough, craziness life is throwing my way, I didn’t use food for outlet, yay for me!
    12/15 168.7 ~ {Step 13,238} ~ Considering it rained the whole day, I was able to get some walks in plus some much needed organizing of my house.

    JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 135 (round 67 for me ) I'm in for another round – I need this to lose a little more before Christmas! Thank you GrandmaJackie a brilliant champion in these unprecedented & unsettled times, for continuing to set up these challenges.

    Female age 62 5' 4” - Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !

    Challenge for this round (again) will be to stay in132s or maybe creep into the 131s? Stick with good habits; be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, keeping the 10 days binge free makes such a difference!

    @SheilaBoneham Trade you. Apple Watch says 19 degrees and I think that is after warming a little today. I do need to figure out what leg wear to wear. I have leggings I love, but I manage to wear them even in the summer so not the best for winter. What did you buy?

    @SModa61 I know, I’m a weather wimp after 10 years on the southern coast of NC. I’m hoping my new long Johns under heavy-weight leggings will be warm. Here are the ones I ordered — they feel lovely, so I’m hoping the ice will melt this morning so I can give them a test run! https://amazon.com/gp/product/B083DWPJ7L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Round Goal: Fast 16+hrs on weekdays, 14+hrs on weekends. Up the water! Water minimum: 75oz, Goal: 91oz.

    Day, Weight, Comment
    12/13 - 150.1
    12/14 - 149.0
    12/15 - 149.7
    12/16 - 148.4
    12/17 - 148.1
    12/18 - 149.9 - Its okay, expected! Fasted just shy 15hrs as I dealt with heartburn and needed to take antacids (which breaks the fast) so I had some homemade bread to supplement the antacids. Had Taco Bell (its next town over we don't go often) and then leftover crispitos for dinner. I'm actually surprised I stayed in the 140s with all that! about 75oz down, thankfully.

    Previous Day's Comments
    12/13 - Not at all surprised with the bump up. Expected it to be more of an increase, honestly. Fasted 16hrs yesterday and 60oz water yesterday. Hoping to be AF today. It is a pretty chill day. I'll be content with a 12hr fast as I had a drink last night around a fire just talking - 12 hrs puts me at 230pm. Will see if I can push for longer but one day won't completely undo everything. Back on the wagon today with closing fasting window as early as I can after dinner.
    12/14 - Back down and then some. Visually a little bloated, though. I am not at all sure what is going on with this sudden weight loss. Yesterday I was very likely below calories but I wasn't overly hungry, either. Otherwise, I've been expecting significant bumps up. Fasted 5 minutes shy of 12hrs, hence the bloat. Also only got about 3-3.5hrs of solid sleep last night. 96oz water. No alcohol. Finished dinner early so unless BF makes breakfast for me, I can easily reach 17-18hrs. I will try to track food to make sure I'm eating enough. I did this last week and had plenty enough then. Wondering if my body was adjusting to fasting again? I've never had a long adjustment (10 weeks!) like that, but my hormone imbalance issue a few weeks ago may have prolonged a lot of things. May have reset my body, too, now that I'm back on track hormonally.
    12/15 - This is okay, I expected it. 18hr fast and only 70oz water yesterday. Dinner was late so I'm hoping to hit 17hrs today.
    12/16 - Ended up doing an accidental OMAD yesterday. Didn't get near enough water, either - estimating 48oz or so. Finally able to pass out last night and get good sleep. It was a super struggle to wake up this morning. Guess body and mind were trying to play catch up on several days of 3-4hr sleep. Attempting chicken crispitos today. Not sure how well it'll go, but I'm going to try it!
    12/17 - I'm not entirely sure what these drops are about. I'm certain I'm eating enough. I'm definitely feeling full during my meals and my body isn't reacting in any abnormal way other than the scale. Any long term IF-ers out there experience a steady weight/weight gain followed but a fairly sudden and quick drop? It seems too fast and too sudden, but this is the first time I've consistently fasted. Fasted 19.75hrs yesterday, water still not great - 36oz maybe? Need to get that back up, especially since the bloat has gone up. Crispitos were actually quite good yesterday. My first time frying anything like that. They're kind of like taquitos. I used venison and onion, cooked up. Took tortillas, wrapped the meat/onion in them, and fried. Garnish as you wish (salsa, hot sauce, cheese, etc. We thought of leftover night tonight and had the idea of pouring the leftover chili BF made over leftover crispitos. Excited to try that!). Its frigid to me - 25 degrees! I thought I moved away from this bitter cold, brrrr. Hope I don't catch a chill, like cold to the bones, early on that I can't seem to shake loose. Maybe a quick morning workout will warm me up enough I can curl up under my couch blanket to stay warm.

    12/01 - :)What better way to beat anxiety than yoga. Today I'll try to get some meditative yoga to help me calm down after last night.
    12/02 - :/Yesterday I got halfway through my yoga workout and the dog started throwing up everywhere. I have a weak stomach so cleaning it had me gagging and running to the bathroom. Ruined the mood. Try again today to make up for it
    12/03 - :)Did get my yoga done yesterday. Yoga With Adriene has her December calendar up so I'm following those videos on the days I can practice. Yesterday was a 10 minute meditation yoga so I decided to get some movement as well by finishing the practice I didn't get to on 12/01. I just started over since it was also a pretty short one.
    12/04 - :/Started my yoga practice but was interrupted with BF waking up earlier than normal. The worst part about having a house a tad too small.
    12/05 - :)I realized I'm behind on YWA calendar. I did the meditation as day 2 instead of day 1! Oops. Hoping a short practice today since I'm not sure plans.
    12/06 - :/Didn't get a practice in and not sure I'll get one in today. Will have to focus on getting them done during the week and give myself slack on weekends since they're always spur of the moment.
    12/07 - :/No yoga. Couldn't even finish making coffee and BF was ready to go. I kind of figured that would happen. Hoping today I'll wake up a little bit more so I can get a practice in, even if its short and sweet.
    12/08 - :/No yoga, work has been crazy busy with meetings. Today is even busier! Almost back to back meetings. It'll be a miracle if I can get yoga in today. The remainder of my work week looks just as bad. Will keep looking for opportunities
    12/09 - :)Managed to squeeze in a really quick practice for gut health yesterday. Not sure I'll get to today, but I'll keep trying to squeeze something in whenever I possibly can!
    12/10 - :/Work got stupid busy so couldn't squeeze in a practice yesterday. Once my 630am meeting is over, I'll hop on the living room TV for practice since BF won't be up until 8 at the very earliest (plus I have an 830 meeting). I'm not as groggy this morning so I think I can push through to hopefully wake me up fully.
    12/11 - :)Right after my meeting I did a quick practice, but it was more of a morning wake up stretch to jolt some energy through you. It worked, I needed a good, over-the-top morning stretch
    12/12 - :/Didn't get a chance to, had to run errands early before the weekend flood of tourists made it in.
    12/13 - :)Got a quick ab yoga workout in and I'm still feeling it today. Whoooa! Need to find a nice simple practice since I'm running on 5-6hrs sleep right now (stupid insomnia) that won't leave me feeling too drained after
    12/14 - :)I didn't get to finish my practice, but I got most of it done, so I'm calling it a success.
    12/15 - :/I was so tired yesterday. Didn't get much sleep last night, either, but going to try for an easy stretch practice just to get some movement in
    12/16 - :/Didn't get one in yesterday. By the time I had any kind of energy, work blew up and I used my energy working.
    12/17 - :/Didn't happen. Was quite groggy and unmotivated yesterday. Sleepy this morning but the frigid cold shocked me awake enough I'm looking up a youtube as soon as I post to try to warm myself up with physical activity.
    12/18 - :/Ugh, I get interrupted right at beginning. Home alone today so definitely can get one in! I really will struggle with kids here so I need to put more effort into making it happen first thing in the morning regardless how sleepy/groggy I am.
