Day/Weight/Comment

1/22 = 132.2 Ordered a single-serve NutriBullet yesterday with gift certificate I received from work. I only have one smoothie recipe (frozen strawberries+yogurt+milk) , so any recipe/website/book suggestions would be appreciated! I am good at following directions, but not so good at just "throwing things together" when it comes to food. Maybe it will come with recipes, who knows. I'm hoping this will be a way to get a healthy breakfast in---or at least a step in the right direction...plus to be perfectly honest it looked like fun and I do love gadgets:)

1/23 = 133.8 Had my hair done yesterday--had her put in some highlights for summer(haha--listen, it's never too early to be prepared for summer, amirite? LOL) I have deemed today Spa Day:) Sooooo...face mask, toenails paint, wax those eyebrows (and mustache--ackk the horror--nobody told me i would grow a stache when i got old O.O) Anyway, trying to do some self care and gathering my courage (and long johns!) to start C-2-10K...again. Monday weather says 31F so that's my target day. There----I said it "out loud", therefore now it must happen:)

1/24 = 133.0 Missed recording here on this day, oops:( trying to be more consistent!

1/25 = 132.8 Skipped out on my exercise today, but did manage to get lots of steps after work, so not a terrible day:) Supposed to get some snow tonight! Hopefully we get just enough to be pretty, but not so much that we spend the next few days shoveling our way out!!

Hot summer days forecast this week (in Australia), my garden and I am not looking forward to it, Onwards!

SW: 190.0/86.2
CW: 188.4/85.5
Next goal: Lose 10lb by Valentine's Day Challenge
Aims:

• Experiment with different strategies to mitigate stress eating.
• Don't restrict KJ further to "make up" for overeating - it just creates more stress!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/21 = 86.7
01/22 = 86.2
I slept in and it's warm already
It'll be Hot tomorrow (and the whole weekend) so I'll start trialing my "Liquid fast technique" tomorrow, today I'll just try to eat normally and keep a short rein on snacking.
01/23 = 86.2
The plan for today is porridge, juice, and soup -no solids- during the daylight hours, to hopefully curtail my tendency towards mindless snacking whenever the temp gets much above 38/100 degrees
*fingers crossed*
01/24 = 86
BMI Goal!
Daylight liquid fast seemed to help with snacking but I well and truly over-indulged in carbs in the evening, I don't think I can call it a perfect strategy... in an effort to reduce carb cravings I'll try up-ing my protein for the daytime meals today.
01/25 = 85.8
Hopefully a cooler day today!

01/26 = 85.5
Finally a significant cool change ahhh... maybe today I can peel myself off the furniture and actually DO something LOL

Round 138: 134.6 to 129.8 (-4.8lbs)

Goals for this round:
-at least 8 glasses of water daily
-pre-track as much as possible...and stick to it
-move at least 30 minutes a day
-asleep by 10:30!

01/22 - 130.8. I tried out a couple new recipes yesterday, which means more opportunities to "sample"...which would be fine, except for when it happens after I've officially finished eating/tracking for the day! An additional goal for this round (this is for my benefit, as I tend to forget): no new recipes that require testing/sampling!
Stairs, walking, free weights, and an online Zumba class yesterday. I'm not used to having so much energy! Definitely a NSV!

01/23 -132.4. Yesterday was a little rough for me, but thanks to so many positive examples on this forum, I decided to stick with the group and with my weightloss/healthy-habit-forming efforts. Thank you!

01/24 - 132.4. Staying consistent and plugging along. Walked and drank water and tracked. Busy day but got to connect with some friends via zoom. Did some meal prep today and video-chatted with long-distance family. Will try again for the 10:30 pm bedtime!

01/25 - 135. I am meeting my daily goals, including earlier bedtime, and I feel *so* much more energetic and stronger. Not sure what's going on with the scale, but I'll just finish out this round with my same approach, and potentially revise it for the next round. At this point, I'll continue weighing myself daily more as data collection and to help me stay accountable. Honestly, I felt great this morning...until I weighed myself. Which ultimately has been good for me today, as it prompted me to ask myself what my true motives are for this effort. Now I just feel too stubborn (and curious as to how this will play out) to quit!

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 139 (round 71 for me ) I'm in for another round as I need this to help me keep on track! 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 ! Long term goal is to get and then stay under 130; then full maintanace starts and dare I say it is in my sights?

Challenge for this round – dare I hope to get into 130s for the end of the round? I've not been that low since June 2019! 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!
Hoping to complete 5K run by end of this round.

Keep calm – we're all in this together! Wash hands, be kind, continue to follow all latest Government guidelines for C-19 virus. Be positive for the vaccine – its here and inoculation has started! Take it when offered.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/22 130.2 – Whooowhoo !! Knock me down with a feather ! I didn't expect that! I had set my goals last night daring myself to get into the 130's during this new round and here I am on day 1!! So my amended goal is to stay within the 130's and maybe sneak down below 130? The later is a big ask with these whooshes the last 2 consecutive days. 8.86 miles yesterday including 17 minutes running. I really struggled yesterday with the running: I was aiming for 30 minutes after doing 28 & 29 on Monday & Tuesday respectively, but after 15 minutes I was pushing myself, oh well, try again today.



01/23 130.2 - 10.03 miles yesterday including 23 mins running – looks like I've got to build my time up again! Good food day, it's helping that I pre log food for the day at breakfast tweaking it slightly as the day goes on.
01/24 131.6 –that's last night's pizza tea; in calories but high in carbs, the last day of this round is a Sunday so I will need to work hard this week to keep numbers down for that last day. 9.45 miles walked yesterday with DH, as we are still in lockdown it was pounding the pavements in the local area from home – again!!
01/25 130.8 – coming back down again. 5.83 miles walked with DH in the snow we woke up to yesterday morning, such a winter wonderland and so exhilerating, made those same old pavements (due to lockdown) seem much fresher and different!! Good day food wise, all within limits. It's Burn's night so I have got haggis for dinner; we're not Scottish, but being in lockdown everyday is Groundhog day so I thought I'd make an effort to do something different. There'll be no pipping in the haggis, but we might stretch to a small nip of whiskey!! We don't normally participate in alcohol in the week so this will be an exception!
01/26 131.8 - ? hopefully normal fluctuation. 9.65 miles walked yesterday again in the snow and ice. Haggis, neeps & tatties all delicious last night, and within calories, 10g carbs over. Giving blood later today, it will be nice to have some face to face interaction in person with someone other than DH ! Lockdown making me crazy!!! ?

1/25 210.3 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, plank, fishing, 1942 cal, 132 net carbs, 2 vodka & diet tonic. WAKE UP!!! You are headed in the wrong direction. Giving in to old habits. Quit eating all those chips, crackers, candy & more carbs in the form of waffles at breakfast, rice at lunch and more rice at dinner and skip happy hour (stick to water).

Sounds like you know what the problem is, so all you have to do is go back to your good habits. I have faith in you! You CAN do this!!!

@UTMom81 I hope you haven’t acquired the virus! Tennessee is a hotspot right now, I hear.

I know, and I am out in schools right now, by force, (masked and socially distant, but still around a lot of people). Thank you! I don't think that's what this is--it's accompanied by intermittent loss of voice and no fever. I don't feel that bad, but you wonder about every little symptom right now.

Gorgeous photos!

My ma was born in Kilsythe, and although we never had haggis on Burns’ Night, we did have tatties and neeps, and our friend Bob always showed up later with his pipes for a wee dram. 😁
And, of course, my mom always said the Selkirk Grace.

Some hae meat and canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat and we can eat,
And sae the Lord be thankit.

Enjoy!

I just love all of this--the original post from @musicsax and the response from @SheilaBoneham and I love this group which allows us to make connections like this with folks all over the world.

I’m hoping to stay below 205 PERMANENTLY (but not counting on it!). Focusing on being mindful of what I’m eating, avoiding mindless snacking, eating standing at the counter, cupboard, fridge, or table (as usual!).

I love beagles! Their faces are so cute!

I don’t want to sound negative but in print, I think this will. Please know that it is not intended as anything but support. You said you’re not counting on being below 205 permanently. I think you SHOULD count on it. It may not happen this week or this month or next but if you “follow your focus” you WILL get below. And it WILL be PERMANENT! COUNT ON IT! YOU CAN DO IT! 😘

Such excellent advice! and I agree with her (although I haven't maintained my goal yet). I was once at 213 for a LONG time and thought I'd never be able to get down to a better weight and stay there. I have been able to keep at a much more reasonable weight for me for around 20 years. Would I like to be lower? YES! And I will get there again, but if you stay with this, you will eventually begin to see just how unhealthy the continued "mindless snacking" as you put it is for your body. Eventually they lose much of their appeal, and you body (and mind) will do a "reset" of the weight it wants to hold. The thing is, don't give up on yourself! You and your long term health are SO worth it!

01/22 174.2 Did well with food choices all day long. I was hungry yesterday afternoon, but managed to snack on just berries and a few almonds and made it to the dinner I had planned without blowing it. Continuing my No Junk Food Challenge this round. It has become a staple for me. I think I've only messed it up one day in the last 11 days and it is helping. IF yesterday was 18:6.
01/23 174.6 My husband’s birthday dinner and a little dessert was last night. I did really well though, only ate half my dinner and less than half dessert. We enjoyed ourselves and I didn’t go overboard, so I’ll call that a win! IF was 16:8.
01/24 176.6 Birthday splurge continued, but it stops today! Late night snacking didn’t help and will make a meaningful IF today very difficult. But, I will narrow my eating window today so I can get back on track. I am meal planning this morning for the rest of the week. That always helps me, too.
01/25 175.2 Did well food wise yesterday, but I’m catching something that includes a cough/chest congestion, so didn’t do very much “exercise.” Have a good IF going today with a reasonable start time last night, so I’ll see how I do today. Happy Monday, everyone!
01/26 175.4 Ate out unexpectedly last night, but made good choices and did 10 miles on the bike to offset. Did 19:5 IF. Meals are planned for today and will stick with them!

Do we want another group exercise challenge for February? I don't want to force things on the group and maybe its time for a break, so I'll leave it up to y'all. If we want one, I'll get to work on a logo. I don't think I've even mentioned the January one to the new folks this round. Maybe this time, we look at a 10-day challenge instead of month-long??? Y'all just let me know if you're interested.

Day/Weight/Comment

01/22 - 145 - Starting the weekend at the top of my maintenance is not how I like to start it. I'm going to track food today and the rest of the weekend so I can try to maintain this weight and not bounce up even further.
01/23 - 145 - First Saturday of tax season in my office. I drove by a McDonald's on my way in and thought of stopping for an egg muffin with hash browns, but I resisted. We'll have a catered lunch today, and I'll try to make good choices or at least make sure my portion size keeps me within a decent calorie range.
01/24 - Forgot to weigh
01/25 - 147.5 - Yikes! I know some of this is sodium but I also know that I made a few bad choices this weekend. Plenty of water today.
01/26 - 146.5 - OK, this weight is probably real. I need to get back into weight loss mode.

01/25 - 209.8 (slight disappointment at going up, but I had a pretty indulgent weekend, so not a bad outcome really).

I’m hoping to stay below 205 PERMANENTLY (but not counting on it!). Focusing on being mindful of what I’m eating, avoiding mindless snacking, eating standing at the counter, cupboard, fridge, or table (as usual!).

I love beagles! Their faces are so cute!

I don’t want to sound negative but in print, I think this will. Please know that it is not intended as anything but support. You said you’re not counting on being below 205 permanently. I think you SHOULD count on it. It may not happen this week or this month or next but if you “follow your focus” you WILL get below. And it WILL be PERMANENT! COUNT ON IT! YOU CAN DO IT! 😘

Such excellent advice! and I agree with her (although I haven't maintained my goal yet). I was once at 213 for a LONG time and thought I'd never be able to get down to a better weight and stay there. I have been able to keep at a much more reasonable weight for me for around 20 years. Would I like to be lower? YES! And I will get there again, but if you stay with this, you will eventually begin to see just how unhealthy the continued "mindless snacking" as you put it is for your body. Eventually they lose much of their appeal, and you body (and mind) will do a "reset" of the weight it wants to hold. The thing is, don't give up on yourself! You and your long term health are SO worth it!

Chiming in a little late. These days are sneaking past me and will for the next few weeks.

I will add the story of my husband about 10 or so years ago when he finally joined me as a WW member. At the time, the "top" allowable weight for his 6'1" height was 189, and I remember him coming home angry that first day. He was angry that they had such and "unreasonable" number. I told him to relax and worry about that end number later. Bit by bit he lost, and I remember the day that he actually got down to the 189. Do you know what his comment was? "That's too high. I need a lower goal weight". Anyhow, the point is to not worry about that end number now and don't limit what you think you can accomplish now. I LOVE the 10 day aspect of this challenge. I worry about these 10 days and nothing more.... for the moment.

Anyhow, look at what you have already accomplished. You are under that 205, so that is already met. You are halfway through this round. Focus on your actions of the next 5 days. Then Sunday, look at the next 10 days and decide a realistic goal for those 10 days. Sometimes the goal may be to lose more, sometimes the reality shows that aiming to maintain, or even a small gain is the realistic goal for those particular 10 days. When those are done, you are on to the next.

At the end of this round, I will be opting to start maintaining. Again, I will be using the 10 day challenges to be adding calories and learning how maintain permanently by just taking it 10 days at a time.
