    Male: 63
    6’-2”
    OSW: 237.8 (Nov. 2016)
    OGW: 199 (just to say I did)
    Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205

    Goal this round: Not weighing this round, but I want to report on what I did for exercise the day before. I am not near my scale for a couple weeks. (I meant to bring it with me, but the idea got lost somewhere between the socks and shoes on my list of things to do.)

    December is a brutal month for eating temptation. The baked goods come charging out of nowhere as everyone shares their love for each other.

    Historical Averages:

    I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

    Round 136
    Month/Day: Exercise / Comment

    12/23:
    I walked about 1.5 miles yesterday. / Hey, it’s a start.

    12/24:
    Did 15 minutes yoga. Walked 3 miles. / One mile was in sand. This was the first yoga in a long time. I used to do it at least twice a week until the C-19 shut down my gym. I am sure food was over budget therefore weight is rising. But, it won’t be like the old days.

    12/25: Merry Christmas everyone!
    Walked 2.2 miles / Hope you all have a wonderful day.

    🔹Drink more water (target min 80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
    🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
    🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)

    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.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    12/22 …..204.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
    12/23 …..205.0 ….. Not too bad after a late night of baking. Now they are ready to be shared…..served for Christmas…..Eaten . Gotta keep control.

    12/24 …..xxxxx ….. I didn’t get to weigh this morning. I woke up to the Septic company banging on my patio door. I quickly got dressed and grabbed my coffee. After days of a mysterious septic problem they found a massive root ball (the largest they had ever seen) just under the tank lid which was blocking anything from going in. After much work they cleared the problem and things are flowing again. Ah... the joys of learning a new house! I am trying to remain grateful for my blessings. I am thrilled (and lucky) they were willing to come out on Christmas Even from 25 miles away! Yesterday consisted of very well-planned meals but there were some cookies…… We’ll see what the scale holds in the morning. Will it whisper or will it shout? More baking today.

    12/25 …..205.4 ….. Merry Christmas Everyone! Sharing is Caring so I want to share with everyone that I just concretely found out that making a small saucer of cookies your lunch and skipping all the calories in the normal lunch foods DOES NOT keep you from gaining weight. Up 0.4 in the last two days. It could have been worse, but it should have been better. Moving on…… Our family dinner and gift exchange will be on Sunday when everyone has the day off. I have enjoyed a special Christmas and gift opening morning quietly at home with my son this morning. To all of you..... I hope all people all over the world find health and peace and love today (including self-love) regardless of your location, orientations, nationalities or beliefs.

    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!
    Dec 10 – No dancing. All working around the house and sitting…sitting…sitting while shopping online. No stores in my rural area!
    Dec 11 – Danced 20 minutes and even sang to the songs!
    Dec 12 – No Dancing. Not enough movement. Online shopping again!
    Dec 13 – Danced for about 14 minutes.
    Dec 14 – I didn’t dance. A friend was over until very late last night who ran errands with me all day. Donuts & coffee did not help the scale.
    Dec15 – Danced about 12 minutes. But I got a LOT of unpacking and orgainizing done. And I am all caught up on the wrapping until Amazon visits me tomorrow.
    Dec 16 – No Dancing. Went on errands and then my friend came over.
    Dec 17 – 20 minutes of dancing.
    Dec 18 – No dancing. All travel and car sitting yesterday until almost midnight!
    Dec 19 – No dancing. Wrapped all day the presents from my Christmas haul.
    Dec 20 – No dancing because a workman was here most of the day and evening. But I got in LOTS of housecleaning!
    Dec 21 – Two very slow workmen here yesterday. Left at 9:30 pm No dancing but I tried to stay fairly active organizing.
    Dec 22 – 10 minutes.
    Dec 23 – 20 minutes of dancing. A little ticked off to see some of my songs have been removed from the free alexa musical list!
    Dec 24 – Nope. Company all day. It must be the holidays!

    Thanks. Must have been half asleep when I posted last night

    JGM10D Round 136
    🎄🎅🏻🌟🤶🌟🎅🏻🌟🎄
    🎄 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!

    JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 136 (round 68 for me ) I'm in for another round – I need this to help me keep grounded over 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 will be to stay under 133 during the festive period and then back into the 132s for the end of the round. I think that is reasonable considering it's Christmas and doable! Stick with good habits; be mindful of what I eat & drink, try to keep it in moderation, keep walking, no binges; remember keeping the 10 days binge free makes such a difference!

    exercise.png

    12/24 131 – wow! This is a new low for this year, last time I was this low was June 2019. 10.43 miles walked yesterday including day 2 week 6 C25K in 41.59 mins; 2 x 10 mins jogging with 3 mins recovery time in between, tomorrow is 25 mins run straight off!! no way yet; I intend doing 2 x 11 mins with 2 mins recovery inbetween – I have to build up to 25!! 303 calories in credit. Happy Christmas Eve
    12/25 133.8 – well that's not a nice Christmas present!! So is this the scale playing with me, the chocolate, pizza, mulled wine or mince pie? Or a combination of both? Oh well, it's Christmas!! And today a rest from exercise, a chance to spend with our families which also means several hours travelling in the car, but the few hours with our grown up children and grandchildren will be precious. 9.88 miles walked yesterday incorporating 20 mins jogging and it didn't feel too bad!!
    Happy Christmas to you all and your families, enjoy as best you are able. For those who have lost loved ones at this time I hope you can find peace and comfort in past memories, sending you and all those that have loved ones that are ill hugs and positive thoughts xx.
    12/26 134.4 (uhh!) Such a wonderful day yesterday, treasure the memories ! Back to tier 3 restrictions today, getting out for a good walk with DH today. Enjoy your Boxing Day.

    Just curious...do we want another exercise challenge for January?

    Male: 63
    6’-2”
    OSW: 237.8 (Nov. 2016)
    OGW: 199 (just to say I did)
    Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205

    Goal this round: Not weighing this round, but I want to report on what I did for exercise the day before. I am not near my scale for a couple weeks. (I meant to bring it with me, but the idea got lost somewhere between the socks and shoes on my list of things to do.)

    December is a brutal month for eating temptation. The baked goods come charging out of nowhere as everyone shares their love for each other.

    Historical Averages:
    R 94: 210.7 (20191108 = date of the last day of the round)
    R 95: 210.3
    R 96: 210.5
    R 97: 211.3 (20191208)
    R 98: 212.7
    R 99: 212.5* (some ghost vaycay entries)
    R 100: 215.0* (ghost vaycay entries) (20200107)
    R 101: 216.0* (some ghost vaycay entries)
    R 102: 212.6
    R 103: 211.9 (20200206)
    R 104: 210.9
    R 105: 212.5
    R 106: 211.2 (20200307)
    R 107: DNF
    R 115: 215.6 (20200605)
    R 116: 213.7
    R 117: 213.1
    R 118: 212.1 (20200705)
    R 119: 212.4
    R 120: 211.5
    R 121: 207.9 (20200804)
    R 122: 207.4
    R 123: 207.3
    R 124: 209.4 (20200903)
    R 125: 208.9
    R 126: 209.6
    R 127: 209.1 (20201003)
    R 128: 210.0
    R 129: 210.6
    R 130: 210.7 (20201102)
    R 131: 211.5
    R 132: 209.2
    R 133: 211.7 (20201202)
    R 134: 211.0
    R 135: 211.5

    I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

    Round 136
    Month/Day: Exercise / Comment

    12/23:
    I walked about 1.5 miles yesterday. / Hey, it’s a start.

    12/24:
    Did 15 minutes yoga. Walked 3 miles. / One mile was in sand. This was the first yoga in a long time. I used to do it at least twice a week until the C-19 shut down my gym. I am sure food was over budget therefore weight is rising. But, it won’t be like the old days.

    12/25: Merry Christmas everyone!
    Walked 2.2 miles / Hope you all have a wonderful day.

    12/26:
    Yesterday a cold day, so pretty limited walking. / by th3e way, I weighed myself at the local grocery store yesterday and it read 212.5. clothed and fed.

    12/27:
    12/28:

    12/31:
    01/01: and a Happy New Year!

    SW 126.2 (April 14th, 2020)
    Highest lifetime weight: 138 lbs. August 2011
    Goal Weight: 110
    Previous rounds: 125.2 -> 122.8 -> 121.6 -> 121.2 -> 119.8-> 119.4 -> 117.8 ->116.6 -> 117.2 ->117.2->114.8 ->116.8 -> 116.4 -> 114.0 -> 115 -> 115.4 ->115 ->113 -> 113-> 113.8 ->114.6 -> 113.6 -> 115.8-> 116 -> 115.6
    Goal weight for this round: Seeing 114 again would be fantastic! Or maintain would be cool too with all the goodies I’ll be eating around Christmas.
    Another goal: Actually check-in each day and weigh daily.
    Previous days

    Day/Weight/Comment
    12/23 I think I’m going to take this round as a check in round and not focus on weighing. My husband and I decided that New Year’s weekend, we’ll do a 2 day fast to kind of reset and refocus what we want to get from the new year. We’ll also take a 2-day break from our phones and the internet. We did this once a couple years ago and it was challenging but so worth it. I’ll fill my time with reading, coloring, meditating, stretching and yoga.
    12/24 Merry Christmas Eve everyone! Today will be a day of baking and indulging a little bit. I plan on making my father in law a batch of whole grain ginger molasses cookies, chocolate brownie/meringue cookies for my sister in law, and key lime pie for my mother in law, husband and me. Then, I am also planning to make cinnamon rolls for breakfast tomorrow morning for my husband and me. I got the cinnamon roll recipe from my aunt who makes them every holiday for breakfast. 30 years later and I’m finally trying it out for myself! So, we shall see how that goes 😊. I’m going to try and eat light today because I know I’ll be sampling the goodies as I make them.
    12/25 Did not post.
    12/26 Good morning everyone! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas if you celebrate it. My husband and I had a nice quiet morning eating the cinnamon rolls I made (they came out delicious!) and munching on a bit of key lime pie as well. Then, around 1 we headed to my in laws to swap gifts and goodies on the porch. After, we headed home to eat and then, open presents virtually. I do have some sweet treats to finish up but after that, I’ll enjoy the healthier food we have in the fridge. The one good thing about Christmas dinner is that it’s a lot lighter than Thanksgiving. She made a pot roast with carrots and onions, some ravioli with meatballs and sauce, mashed potatoes and green peas. I think I feel like its lighter at least because I can portion it easily and it’s food I’m less likely to eat a lot of. I’m not sure what’s on the agenda for today except some straightening up around the house and laundry. Looking forward to a chill couple of days. I do plan on jumping on the bike later this morning to burn a few of the sweets off lol.

    12/23 I just did a 30 minute Christmas pop spin bike workout and my husband and I plan on going for a walk at a local nature reservation this afternoon.
    12/24 Did a 25 minute yoga video this morning and had fun trying crow pose. I also realized my body and core are stronger than I thought because I did this side plank variation where you balance on one leg and grab your free knee with your hand. I thought I was going to fall during it but managed not to! I might give myself a break from the spin bike today…not quite sure. I know I could use the extra burn from it though. Maybe in between baking I can squeeze a ride in?
    12/25 Did not post and didn’t do any activity.
    12/26 Started my morning with a 30 minute HIIT Vinyasa flow yoga video. It was surprisingly more intense than I thought it would be, which was fun. I broke a bit of a sweat at one point 😊. I plan on attempting a 60 spin bike ride later this morning.

    12/23 - Surprised I'm not up! Homemade burgers last night and I piled mine HIGH. Couldn't finish it and I was absolutely stuffed. Feeling a bit bloated, too. Tonight is pizza since we are driving out of town to go drive through the light festival. I'll have to watch what I have for lunch and not go overboard with pizza or I'll be seeing the 150s again, no doubt. Fasted 16hrs yesterday. Dinner was late and BF wanted to make french toast for all of us for breakfast. Hopefully its more of a Brunch than breakfast - late dinner pushes my 16hrs to noon today...
    12/24 - Bouncy bouncy but glad its bouncing down. Only fasted just shy of 14hrs yesterday (breakfast with kiddos). Today should be better. Pizza was only 1 slice and we finished early. No snacking despite kids snacking all night in front of me. A win! Barely made 75oz water, but I did! Making banana nut bread by request of kids right now. Was requested for me to make my homemade bread for Christmas dinner tonight so I have the dough cooling from the fridge while banana nut bread bakes. 2 loaves of regular, 1 of gluten free for the families that requested. It makes me happy that my bread attempts are so well liked. I love to bake and I love to gift others with my creations so its such a win-win for me. Especially around Christmas - its a gift to me to have been asked to make it! (in love languages, I'm a words of affirmation and this definitely applies and fills my heart).
    12/25 - Merry Christmas! That's a late Christmas dinner and needed more water. All good.

    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.
    12/19 - :)Very short video, but got something in. Better than nothing.
    12/20 - :/Kids awake before me and on playstation/tv so no way for me to get to my YWA videos. Hopefully, tomorrow and Tuesday I can knock some out since I'll be awake so early for work. Can't imagine anyone but the daughter would be awake THAT early. Even she might not, despite being a morning person. If I can find a place to do it, I will try to sneak one in during the day off my phone -- space is NOT on my side when kids here.
    12/21 - :/Another day I couldn't get a practice in. Nobody awake yet so I'm about to pull up a video on the tv and knock it out. Only working today and tomorrow so I have to figure out how to get them done before kiddos wake up and take over tv Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. They will go home early Saturday so I'll be home alone all day and then back to just BF and I which I can hide in kids room to practice if need be (especially since gifts hidden in her room will be out of my way)
    12/22 - :)I did one! I didn't want to, but I did it. And I'm searching for one to knock out this morning even though I only want to sleep instead. Must. Meet. Goal. Must. Meet. Goal. Must. Meet. Goal.
    12/23 - :)Managed to sneak one in despite my sleepiness. Today is a little more difficult since kids up before me. Will try to get something done, though.
    12/24 - :/Didn't manage to sneak one it. Hopefully in between bread making I can sneak something in today. It'll be short, but its better than nothing!
    12/25 - :)Got a short one done in between baking bread! Wasn't much, but every little bit counts.
    12/26 - :/Didn't get the chance to. Rushed like crazy and then the daughter wouldn't leave my side.
