SW: 198.8/90.2
CW: 196.2/89
Next goal: 189.5/86 (BMI: 29.8)
Day/Weight/Comment01/02 = 90.2
It will be yet another day of celebrating with friends today, why do I have so many occasions that center around the sharing of extravagant foods?
For next year I'm going to think up activities that will shift the focus away from the meal/special foods, maybe a costume party for Christmas or a working bee/group project for new years?
I'll tell everyone this year that I'm tryin' to start a thing and see if they go for it.
01/03 = 90.5
So far over my kj's yesterday that I almost wimped out on doing the weigh-in this morning.
I find myself back to my old thought patterns about not wanting to waste *eye roll* the leftover treat foods... must remember: a much more tragic waste would be not accomplishing what I want to in my life.
01/04 = 90
Got back on the better eating wagon yesterday, took me longer to adjust back after the holiday than I thought it would, I just kept telling myself that this would be the final day and then the next and the next, relapsing back into old patterns -eating away at my resolve that changing my lifestyle is important.
Before my next food focused holidays (June Solstice) I'm going to have to work out some strategies to manage those "lingering on" tendencies and reignite my resolve more quickly... maybe in the days following my holidays I'll find a healthy activity like a fun run or plan a hike or ride so I'm abruptly confronted with the reality of why eating well matters.
01/05 = 89.8
I'm trying to get some Oomph happening for January but am feeling like I'm lagging behind in all the things.
Got to remember that it's not a race, it's not like I can sprint and "win". it's not about being good/bad, it's about no longer denying my physical self the care and consideration that I have always automatically given to my pets and my loved ones. I'm realizing that even my home has routinely gotten more of my attention than my health LOL! As Willy Wonka said "What do you think will come of that?"

My aim for Round 137 is to keep to the low end of my kj range and complete one exercise bike ride.
Previously...2020 Goal <200lbs

JGM10D Round 137
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!😷
January focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:
2021 Focus:- Maintain weight < 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:JGM10D ~|~ Round 137- 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 ✅ Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
- That's a WIN in my book!
- 2021
- 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.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

Oh, can I relate to this?!? My hubby has been out of town since the 27th and I hate to say it, but I do NOT miss our TV habits. I will dread that part of his return. He is obsessed with the news; I haven't watched a single minute of it since he left. I am worried about what's happening in Georgia this afternoon, but just cannot bring myself to watch the coverage. It won't change anything anyway--will just stress me out! So, instead, I'm working on a blanket for my grandbaby's birthday. I choose peace and tranquility.7 -

Better snack control yesterday. I’ve been listening to the Audible edition of Self-compassion by Kristin Neff, PhD, and recommend it highly. I very much value science-based work and have a finely tuned b.s. meter, and Dr. Neff’s work meets the standard. I’m working to implement much of what she says in my weight/eating world as well as work, the two realms being not entirely unrelated!, and find myself much more conscious of what I’m doing or not doing and some of the reasons. Daily meditation is helping, too. And turning off the news! 😎
Thank you for the audible book suggestion--I've put it in my wish list to read next! Also, I definitely agree regarding turning off the news

I just didn't show up for the end of round 135 and all of round 136. I've put 4 days of 136 on here for my own sake.... Feel free to ignore.
OSW 88KG
RSW 65.0kg (I'm doing 14 days as I started again on 29th)
Average last round - didn't measure!
12/29 65kg....starting with stopping booze and drinking lots of water
12/30 64 kg travel day feeling queasy so very little food
12/31 63kg...celebrating a 2kg drop since I recommitted to keto and tracking did a 25 min run.
1/1 63.25kg which is fine after some wine. All ready for the new round!
Round 137 starts here!
01/02 63.15kg going to track today and stay under calories.
01/03 63.4kg over calories yesterday and today
01/04 64.2kg. Back to the gym. Back to work. Back to deficit.
01/05 63.8kg. All good yesterday and gym done for today.
01/06 63.45 its always good to be lower than the day before! Did cross-fit at the gym today and it was hard but great fun. Although I am still 3.45kg above my maintenance weight I am down overall. It is my 2 year anniversary for starting the weight loss journey and this is one of my before and after pics.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 137 (round 69 for me ) I'm in for another round for the New Year – I need this to help me! 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 closer to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !
Challenge for this round will be to get back into 131s for the end of the round. I think that is reasonable! 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!End of round 69 134.2 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
01/02 132.8 -11.1 miles walked yesterday, the ice and snow is starting to melt, luckily we got out early cuz now there will be only indoor exercise for me until Tuesday; we have been contacted by NHS test and trace, we have been in contact with a person who has tested positive for Corona virus and we now have to self isolate:( I plan on doing some jogging on the spot in the garage and also some stretching and toning exercises. 415 calories in credit yesterday, I really need to keep my calories down the next few days as I will not be able to do the mileage I usually do.
01/03 132.8 -- 2 x 30 minutes jogging in place, just put my music on and went for it! I was really surprised that I didn't get out of breath! It's a bit boring though!! 101 calories over.
01/04 132.8 – 30 mins jogging in place yesterday. Being confined to barracks I'm really getting on with my knitting; a shawl for our 4th grandchild due in May. I've already done my jogging in place today; thanks to UTMom81; 55 mins whilst watching Utube film of a 7 day hike in the Smoky Mountains – brilliant!! Kept me going for the full 55 mins!! As long as neither of us have any Covid symptons tomorrow we're released!! (Fingers crossed) Yippeee! So as DH is self isolating too and not at work, we are using the time to take our Christmas tree and decorations down and stowing them back in the loft.
01/05 131.8 - Did half an hour of toning/stretching exercises/yoga poses yesterday before 55 mins jogging in place. Neither self nor DH have developed any covid symptons so we are released from self isolation today, but sadly we are being plunged back into national lockdown again with effect from this morning, on the brightside that at least we are able to get out for exercise. The snow and ice has practically melted away now so once the frost has cleared I'll be out burning of calories!!
01/06 131.8 - Oh it was so wonderful to be able to get out doors yesterday, it's totally right you don't realise what you've got until it's taken away!! 13.17 miles walked yesterday including
20 mins of jogging.
These are before and after of me, first taken in 2011 before I started my the final attempt to lose weight, the second at New Year 2019 (I don't appear to have any more recent ones of me other than mostly being hidden behind one or other of my little DGC! Not been or done anthing to warrent having photo/s taken of just me over this last year!!) There has been no change since then other than my hair is longer!!

Start weight (31 August 2020): 349.2 lbs
Start weight for 137 challenge: 324.2
Aim for 11 January: 321.2
2 January 2021:324.2 This is the first time I have gone up over the festive period, and am determined to see it come back down in the next ten days. I feel very determined today for sure:)
3 January 2021: 324.2 This was a good day, getting back to the 'normal' way of eating, just need the scales to reflect it!
4 January 2021: 324.8 Oh dear, NYE camembert and crusty bread (and champagne) coming home to roost!
5 January 2021: 324.1 Coming back down, that's good. God I was hungry yesterday though, just eating normally but it was hard work to stick to 16:8. I did it and the scales will come down.
6 January 2021: 323.6 Another good day, and I can see the scales coming down. I think this is the least amound of weight I've ever put on over the holidays, and the fastest that I've taken it back off, so that's good.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/02 177.8 Lots of exercise yesterday, but no loss yet. Bought food that should help me get back in the groove, so I'm hoping for and working toward, a good round. I do still have some craving demons to battle with after the holidays, so that will be my biggest challenge this round, I think. Going for high protein, lots of veggies and some berries today.
01/03 176.8 Moving in the right direction again. Yay! Stayed well within calorie range yesterday with lots of exercise. Cravings are beginning to lessen. Did 15:9 IF and hoping for longer than that today.
01/04 176.6 Did my cooking for the week (well a lot of it anyway). Am trying a couple new recipes for lunch and dinner that I’m excited about from skinnytaste.com. Feeling like I’m back in the groove with my eating, with IF, and with exercise, so hopefully this will be a good round. Did 17:7 IF yesterday. Back to work for the first time in a month today (Mom’s illness, death, then holidays). Will see how that affects my “groove.”
01/05 176.2 Had a really good day eating only the things I had pre-cooked/pre-planned. Did 17:7 IF again yesterday which seems to be a good place for me to be. Back at the office went ok even though I really don’t see why any of us in education are in-person. We really should be remote learning right now because we are one of the hottest spots in the world for Covid in my county. But NO! Off to work we go! Hoping for a walk at lunch today if the weather holds off.
01/06 176.4 Gave into a chocolate craving yesterday, but it could have been much worse. The little pieces I ate should have still been within calorie range, so hopefully this is a normal fluctuation. It’s tiny anyway, so I’m not going to stress over it. It’s not supposed to rain here and I’m working from home today, so I’m hoping to get in a good walk with the dog during a break. Have all my meals ready to go, so there should be a little extra time in my day for activity. Did 17:7 IF yesterday.

Back again after not posting for a few rounds. I was still working on this, just had a lot going on in my head as well. Happy to be back.
3/1 116.3kg
Have been going to the gym with friends, and maintain my deficit. Hopefully the extra weight from the holidays will work it's way off again. Most of it is probably food bulk and water weight, as I was close to maintenance calories, even on feast days.
4/1 115.7kg
Had a migraine today, so no exercise and very little food. MFP was whinging. Oh well. It's not like it's everyday. Tried to keep my water up at least.
5/1 115.6kg
Took another recovery day after my migraine yesterday. I always feel washed out the next day. Organised to get to the pool with some friends tomorrow.

Really poor sleep, so I didn't get to the pool. Going to try again tomorrow.

2021 is here! This will be an interesting round. Driving husband to the airport today (1/1/21). He is traveling to check in on his mom, and then also check-in on our never-ending condo repairs (should have been done in October). It’s a little nerve racking to have him traveling, and traveling alone during these times, but it is necessary. We have also decided that when we head down together in February, we will drive. And not fly. Anyhow…. Hubby is away for this whole round. I would traditionally eat ice cream and Chinese food the whole time he is gone, so, to avoid this, I really need to focus on my pre-planning and tracking and not bringing temptations into the house. This would also normally be a nice quite time for me, but instead, I am filling in as daycare for my almost 1 year old grandson. Lunch will be outside my home and I will be getting home just in time to scramble for dinner. Planning and preparing for each day is going to be key if I am going to continue to fit in daily exercise and keeping my daily calories under goal. I know I can do this, it will just take some focus.
Goals for round 137, adapt to the dynamics of this round, and to try and lose 1 more lb. I would like to hit my stated goal of 129 by the end of January.
Previous Goals- Get under 150
- Get under 145 by my birthday (10/26)

- Get below 135
- Lose min 2 lb during December
- Walk/run to Sombrero B for sunrise photo
- Maintain losses of time in Florida
- Maintain weight for round 136 which included Xmas as well as New Years

Round 137 – starting weight 132.0
1/2 – 133.0 It’s ok. IMM I am blaming sodium. It should shake out.
1/3 – 131.4 Nice number and unexpected. It is different addressing dinners for one. When not responsible for feeding anyone else, my past habit would be to not cook and eat like I mentioned in my intro paragraph. This morning I have pre-tracked both today (home)and tomorrow (first babysitting day), to keep focused on good habits and make sure that I have what I need available to me.
1/4 – 131.8 The bounce. I don’t know if it is because I am nearing my stated goal, but I am unfortunately starting to battle the drive towards unplanned eating. During my earlier rounds, I was feeling empowered which kept everything going, and that is waning. (maybe this is also due to the impact of the holidays, not sure) This concerns me and it concerns me in particular once getting to maintenance. Anyone else deal with this and have insights? On another note – today is day one as babysitter!!!!
1/5 – 131.4 Second time seeing this number, so it’s feeling more real. Yesterday babysitting, worked well for not being tempted to pick at food (not in my own home), but not the best for my exercise options and then this morning I overslept. Will have to figure today out.
1/6 – 130.2 Way too good to be true. Yesterday was interesting from and exercise point of view. Had accidentally woken up late, and with other tasks more critical, I did not get in any exercise before heading to daughter’s to babysit. GS is 11 months, so not a lot of movement during those hours. Other challenges I participate in, require various degrees of exercise. Decided, bike sound acceptable, planned on my minimum 20, but did 30. Later in the evening, I looked at the rings on my apple watch and saw the pathetic numbers. At 8:30 PM, decided to go out for a walk to close my rings. Resulted in over 4 miles. I kept adding “one more street”. Maybe I will start paying attention to those rings more often.

01/06 - 148.8 - BF needed out of the house and got approval from his boss to be away from his computer long enough to go get dinner. Those opportunities are few and far between so we ventured out to grab Mexican food - aka salty chips! Was barely able to reach my 64oz of water so that isn't helping with water retention, either. Need to get on it in the morning. Usually I can drink water quickly in morning and taper off but lately I've been slacking in morning and running the fine line between catching up to goal or waking up several times in the middle of the night. Oops! Fasted only 16hrs but BF made breakfast (a reason for him to take a break from the computer). Unfortunately, dog jumped fence once while in the backyard enjoying weather. Second time, she escaped the house to jump the fence. She's never done that before until the last couple days! So my breakfast got cold while searching for her ): But it did push me over 16hrs, so that's a win! Today shouldn't be difficult to reach 17hrs. And I can't be too much of a couch potato since the dog has to be monitored when she goes outside. Ugh. Glad its warmed up at least.

Previous Day's Comments01/02 - TOM bloat is kicking my behind! I feel less puffy but my tummy definitely looks more puffy. Need to cut the TOM cravings. Best Friend sent me reeses flats and I've been indulging on 1-2 of those the last couple days. Need them GONE. Think I crave because they're in the house and visible, honestly. Fasted 16.5hrs. Hit 64oz water. Going to push more water on this lazy day and see if I can move the bloat along elsewhere. Have 1 more serving of italian wedding soup and then 1.5 servings of last nights baked parmesan garlic chicken (with sides) for lunch the next few days. Getting brave and comfortable in kitchen so I'm planning on using leftover carrots, spinach, and orzo in a soup for lunches. Have a base soup recipe for them, need to figure out what protein will go best from my options: chicken, bacon, beans. Beans for sure, I think. Not sure about adding either of the other two. BF will try to make the lemon pepper chicken tonight if work slows down enough. Need to use chicken before it goes bad. Otherwise, I'll likely be taking direction from him and learning his recipe for it. So happy cooking is feeling less like a chore and more of something I look forward to. HUGE improvement.
01/03- Back down, feeling less bloated. Ended up having steaks last night. I was super hungry so I went back for more comfort food: rolls filled with homemade mashed potatoes. Yum. Thankfully, I was quite satiated after that. The extra carbs from that may account for the visible bloat I have hanging on. I'm alright with that! Managed 16 hrs but I was huuuuungry. 75oz down the hatch. Could've drank more, but I woke up the last few nights in the middle of the night to pee and I DID NOT want to do it again so tapered off water early.
01/04 - Broke fast early (15hr) because BF made breakfast for us to use up the last of the package and not waste it. Got 70oz water only. Missed dinner due to being at the dealership. Managed a deal I didn't think was at all possible AND got a great trade in value (talking $3-4k more) that I couldn't say no to. And winter sale was still going on, so the truck was $8000 below list price. Old truck was dying. Transmission going out, not reliable. We avoided driving it, but its the only vehicle that could fit all of us and driving either 12 or 22hr round trips to pick kiddos up got to be a really nervous thing because we weren't sure the old truck would make it. Now we have a brand new (2021), a diesel (which, if our future plans go well, we need and had been discussed for a couple years now), and a long term vehicle we don't have to worry about anymore. Its a huge relief despite my payments going up. Did my homework and its more than doable so not too worried about it. Anywhoot, because travel (had to drive an hour) water wasn't the most ideal and definitely forgot to grab the dinner BF set aside for me. Guess that's my lunch.
01/05 - Carby carby. Had homemade chicken fried rice and egg rolls for dinner. Was delicious, but I usually do bump up a bit when I eat it. 65oz water. Fasted 19hrs but was so hungry yesterday from skipping dinner and BF made breakfast tacos, I couldn't say no. Longer eating window also likely accounted for the blip up in weight. Back to normal fasting window today.

@jemtred and @musicsax I love the before and after pics. I don't have much "before", but when I worked for Weightwatchers, the coordinator for my primary center, wanted before pics posted for members to see. Mine was 2001, my 40th birthday. The embarrassing part was that members would come up to me saying "I didn't know you were allowed to do WW while pregnant". Well, WW does not and I was not..... I'll see if I can find pics from my high and low, for fun. Currently above my low (about 5 lb), but closing in on my "happy place".5
