Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 172
Replies
-
Round 172 (104th for me). I prove yet again round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow.
There are only 7 days to Christmas !! Challenge this year is not to gain any additional pounds & I need to remain binge free, but as always – yet again any loss will be a win!
Covid numbers are going up again in England (Omnicrom) – the pandemic is still very much here: Covid is still very much around! Continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in public indoor settings, think before you head out, stay alert and always consider others.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But than I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

I’m 5’7, 29 years old, female. I follow a lifting
program and would like to decrease my body fat while maintaining muscle mass.
My starting weight in Oct 2021 was 156.6
Goals: stay in a mild calorie deficit on non-holiday days this round, hit 110-140 grams of protein per day, 20-30 minutes of cardio on lifting days (4xweek, non-work days), complete all 6 programmed strength training sessions during my 4 days off per week, enjoy my family and the special holiday days 🎄 🎁✨

171 148.5 -> 147.9 (147.8)
Previous Posts12/18 Workday 2/3. I was in charge which is always extra stress when we are understaffed (which is almost always right now) since you have your own patients + the rest of the unit’s problems to deal with. I always thought the nurses who talked about the full moon were silly until I spent enough time in the hospital. Anyway.. one more day. Leftover vindaloo and tofu for lunch. Broccoli edamame pea fried rice with tempeh for dinner. Protein: 116
12/19 workday 3/3. Let the holiday festivities begin! Leftovers for lunch. Spicy roasted carrots and farro with tofu for dinner. My sister sent over her homemade eggnog croquembouche and I enjoyed that after work. Cookie and gift party with my sister tomorrow and I’m going to get ingredients to make cookies tomorrow. Protein: 123
12/20 Meal planned for the week and grocery shopped. We will have visitors arriving in a couple days. I baked a few cookies and then had a Christmas cookie and gift party with my sister who has little kids and my parents. Christmas is always more exciting with kids involved and brings back the nostalgia of childhood excitement. I ate junk today.. a protein bar and cookies and pizza. My stomach feels awful hah. Back to normal eating tomorrow. Didn’t do any cardio or extra workouts but did a big pull day. Protein: ?? Low.
12/21 You’d think after doing CrossFit style workouts for 6 years that I’d know by now to never trust a workout that looks fun on paper. I did a 12 days of Christmas workout that was absolutely miserable lol (goes like the song and you aren’t halfway through until round 9 or something). And I plan to do it again with my in-laws on actual Christmas. Anyway, did that this morning and hopefully I can beat my time when I do it again. Ate normally today other than eating Christmas cookies. Leg day for strength. Had a really yummy broccoli dal with seitan for dinner. Took a walk and enjoyed the lights after dinner. Back to work for 2 days and my in-laws arrive tomorrow evening. Protein: 130
12/22 hmmmm lol. Oh well, it’s only getting worse from here with extra carbs etc. Workday 1/2. Leftovers for lunch. In laws arrived this evening and polenta, mushroom, spinach casserole and tofu for dinner. In laws arrived with treats. Protein: 100

I workout in my garage alone and lift with my husband and miss the peer pressure that comes from group fitness sometimes. My in laws said I look jacked and slim compared to when they were here last 6 weeks ago 💪 Eating like crap, having a great time. Happy Christmas Eve! 🎄 🎅🏻 🌟 🎁

12/25 - 147.3 - MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Christmas Eve dinner/white elephant party at FamWife's mom's. I kept my portions small for everything, but still quite full after. Headed to Fam's here in a few once BF gets up (alarm is set for 5 minutes from now so I'm making this a quick update). I haven't heard back for confirmation, but we talked about a nice Christmas breakfast and I'm going to attempt homemade biscuits if so. I'm going to focus on eating within moderation and focusing on being balanced with my choices. Today is a NF workout day so I'll find a way to squeeze that in at some point. Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas if you celebrate (and for those who may not, I hope you have/had a very happy holiday of your beliefs/choice!)

Previous Day's Comments12/18 - Up late last night with the Friendsmas party and I woke up to chug water before I even got out of bed. No need to weigh in on a false high there. Depending on if we go out tonight (aka another late night, friend's birthday is tomorrow) I may not weigh in tomorrow, either. Friendsmas damage is sure to still be hanging around come Monday anyway and I can determine from there where I stand and what I need to do. Managed to finish my to-do list yesterday, miraculously. Not sure what today holds, but I'll try to get back on track as best as possible with the spur of the moment plan making. One or two crazy nights WILL NOT derail me. I will enjoy my Christmas festivities and get right back on track to continue on my journey of health.
12/19 - So the damage isn't quite as bad as I thought. I do feel a tad squishy from sodium-related water retention. I'm also feeling a tad dehydrated despite hitting water goals consistently. Thinking that may be related to everyone having heat on yesterday with the cold front. We keep a humidifier in the bedroom to try to offset the drying nature of the furnace. Not 100% plans today, other than watching football, but I'm refocusing on habits and getting back on track. I have until Friday to get back down before Christmas Eve dinner, though thankfully it'll be much easier to stay on track for that than this weekend.
12/20 - DNP
12/21 - Didn't get a chance to post. We ended up having to go into Austin to pick up BF's meds. This led to trying a Thai restaurant, something neither of us have had. Sodium plus running out of water before we got home led to this uptick. Also an early bedtime so water cutoff was early. Despite that, I was up and down going to the bathroom after I tried to make up for lost water/time haha! I'm commuting this week so I have my lunches made up, it's a short week (8 hour days rather than 10) so I should be home earlier to help with dinner. Hopefully now the crazy weekend is over, I can fully get back on track. My officemate is back, I believe, so I'm going to plan to knock out my workout this evening once I'm home since I'll actually have time. I'm still motivated to continue to stay on track, weekends and crazy last minute plans are not always in line with them. Hopefully this momentum keeps me going and I can drop this Friendsmas party / friend's birthday (Sunday) weekend splurge weight off quickly. Back to NFJourney habits I go!
12/22 - Down down we go. I feel extremely bloated this morning, but TOM is expected in the next day or two so that's normal. I'm shocked to be down this much considering the timing and hormone fluctuations. All NF habits good yesterday. Came home an hour earlier than expected (nice surprise) and was able to shower while BF was still working and before he started dinner. ALMOST missed my workout because of it, but I knocked it out about 30 minutes before my bedtime (with longer breaks to avoid sweating after showering. Oops!) then made sure I did something relaxing before bed to calm my heart rate back down. Whew. Water was good as well, which I'm sure helped this weight drop off. Same thing again today: a taco salad made with spinach (usually use shredded lettuce) and added in some bell peppers for added veggies. Have a salmon packet or protein shake as a snack available. My one cup of coffee is brewing and water the remainder of the day. Good to go for 16+ hours IF. BF said he already had the meat pulled from the freezer for tonight's dinner but I'm not even sure what that will be. Usually he does make things pretty balanced. I'm in charge of dinner tomorrow so I'll spend today's breaks looking up ideas. These 8 hour work days sure are nice!
12/23 - I'm rather shocked how quickly this is going down again given TOM's impending doom...I mean arrival any day now. Still feeling quite bloated and squishy but that's likely hormones and sodium. BF made homemade beef and broccoli with noodles last night. Tonight I'm making lasagna rolls ups or something like that. I offered to make dinner since I'm getting home early enough to grocery shop and make dinner with our holiday 8-hour days. Lunch is the same as the last few days but it's filling me up quite a bit. The beans I added are definitely helping with protein and fiber. Water was good, back on that today. Have to knock out a workout tonight for NF. All habits good except adding a protein snack. I wasn't hungry whatsoever and was afraid I'd ruin dinner if I ate one so I passed. I'll revisit today. I need 3 days of protein snacks to move forward in that module.

Hi, I'm Jen!

Round 172 SW: 12/17 200.2 lbs
Round 172 GW: 199
12/18: 199.6 lbs (-.6)
Well, my challenge goal was to get under 200, then I weighed in this morning! 😄 I'm going to keep it at 199, just because I've gone down .6 lbs 4 days in a row so I'm anticipating a rebound. Fingers crossed it doesn't, but that's how my body rolls!
12/19: 198 lbs (-1.6)
I was not expecting that! I drank a lot of water yesterday so maybe flushed out some fluid. I also focused on relaxing and stress relief in the evening.
12/20: 198.4 lbs (+0.4)
Still can't believe I'm below 200. It feels unreal!
12/21: 198 lbs (-0.4)
I was expecting to go up. Pretty sore from yesterday's weight session. Need to drink a lot of water today.
12/22: lbs 198 (0)
I'll take a push. Still sore from Monday's workout so yesterday was an active rest day. Got out for a couple walks. Calories were a little low, but a lot of veggies so had trouble fitting more in my stomach!
12/23: 197.8 lbs (-0.2)
Trainer has been brutal this week! Was just starting to get over Mondays and she threw another hard one at us. Starting to feel some abs under my squishy tummy though.
12/24: 197.6 lbs (-0.2)
I'm just gonna creep my way slowly down! 🤣 It's going the right way, so I'm happy.
Hope you all are joyful and safe on this Christmas Eve!🎄🎁🌲🌲
12/25: 196.8 lbs (-0.8)
Not sure why that dropped so quickly. Hard workout yesterday and a rather salty lunch out with a friend. I'm making Christmas dinner for family tonight. Just a small gathering, so not going crazy, but not going to be overly restricted either.
Merry Christmas everyone! Hope Santa was good to you all! 🎄🎅🎁

Thought I’d be down a little this morning, but I guess it’s gonna take a few days for lower cals to kick in. No problem. I baked a mincemeat pie yesterday and had a small piece but still kept cals below 1500, so not too bad. I’ve been laughing at Mike (cat) and Rory (puppy) playing their usual game. Mike calls it Whack-a-Dog, Rory calls it Chase a Cat. Rory chase Mike under the bed, then jumps on top, off the other side, races around and down the hall, Mike runs out from under the bed and whacks Rory as he goes by, Rory runs a loop around the living room, rinse, repeat. At least they get some exercise on this wet, cold, gloomy morning—maybe I should join in! And I get to laugh.😁
12/19 - 180, Ave 180.8
Ok, maybe I will make my under 180 goal for my birthday! DH asked for oatmeal cookies this morning, so I just baked a batch. I’m going to (try to) limit myself to one. I’m going to enjoy everything this week, but try to keep the totals down. Hard to believe it’s almost Christmas!
12/20 - 181, Ave 180.9
Salt. I feel waterlogged. That’s ok, I’ll just drink lots of water today.

Well, I didn’t make it to the 170s for my birthday, but close! DH & I have a tradition of taking each other out for birthday late-lunch-cum-dinner, and I’ve chosen one of our favorite Italian restaurants—but carry out, as we’ve been doing for - yikes! - almost two years now. Anyway, I plan to enjoy it!

I enjoyed my birthday but didn’t go nuts. 😁 Thank you for all the happy wishes! ❤️

Merry Christmas! I’m not counting calories today (or yesterday), although I haven’t baked so it shouldn’t be too bad. I’m off to run Rory pup at the park, then planning a pretty quiet day reading, knitting, maybe a nap…. Since it’s just the two of us we got carry out turkey dinners and will add some sweet potatoes and maybe something else, so that’s easy. I enjoy the quiet, though part of me envies the hullabaloo that is Christmas with little kids! Whatever your day looks like, I hope you enjoy it!

12/18 202.0 (-.4) I got my booster shot yesterday afternoon. Feeling a bit tired, but not too bad. I didn’t schedule a thing today in preparation. I will be having my indulgence meal later so my weight will be up a bit over the next few days.
12/19 203.8 (+1.4) I ate my indulgence meal and slept most of the day. Today, I’m hiking with my sister which will be nice.
12/20 203.8 (+1.4) Anticipating that the scale will start moving down tomorrow. We hiked over four miles yesterday. It was cold, but beautiful. No organized exercise today, but focusing on staying on plan and drinking all my water.
12/21 203.8 (+1.4) Surprised to still be at this weight. It was a busy day yesterday. I ate late and didn’t get my water in. Still, it’s going to drop because I’m eating right. Today, I’m swimming, so a whoosh is in my near future. I’d love to be down to a new low weight before Christmas festivities commence.
12/22 202.6 (+.2) There’s a bit of a drop. Still not down to my low weight, but happy with that, especially the week of Christmas. Today is busy…no organized exercise. We have nine days left until the end of the year. It’s been a good year.
12/23 203.8 (+1.4) What a difference a day makes. I got into the fritos and ate more than I should. Giving myself some grace over these next few days and plan to enjoy myself. I will continue to weigh and post every day. No guilt involved.
12/24 204 (+1.6) Had a wonderful time creating found object and clay sculptures with my sister yesterday. Tonight we celebrate Christmas with family and tomorrow I’ll be relaxing at home catching up on Christmas movies. This will be my first challenge where I will gain weight, but I look forward to enjoying the holiday and then getting back on track for an amazing new year.
12/25 207.4 (+5) Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, my friends. 7 -

18: 209.9 Had a small birthday celebration for my 17yo son. Only splurge was a single serving of lemon bundt cake. 😋
19: 209.7 Well below calories yesterday, but stayed at BF's last night so weighed late this morning. 210 was my December 30th goal, and with the holidays I'll be content to maintain where I'm at through that date. The next mini goal is 205 by January 13th.
20: 209.1 I was planning on going to the gym this morning, but I couldn't sleep last night. I'm on maybe 5 hours and feeling exhausted, so I'm taking it easy and will take extra steps to sleep better tonight. Gym tomorrow morning.
21: 209.2 MUCH better sleep last night. Heading out the door for the gym in a few minutes.
22: 209.0 Oh hey ... This is my 1000th post! 😁
23: 209.0 🥚 Between hormones and holidays, I imagine this little plateau will break up before coming back down. I'm confident I'll still be (back?) at or under 210 on my goal date of the 30th though.
24: 209.0 🥚 Happy to be holding steady!

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable but I’ve been doing it for over 4 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

12/17 …..189.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/18 ….191.2 ….. (Trend weight 190.3) Well, for Crying Out Loud! I had a good dietary day yesterday. Better than I have in awhile. No TMI, no sleep last night and early weigh-in probably contributing but it still feels like I’ll spend the entire round trying to get back to start weight! Far travels today for Christmas shopping with daughter. There will be plenty of car sitting and restaurant food will be in the picture which we always enjoy since we are from a very rural area with few choices in dining out. I’ll try to walk off as much as possible with that shopping, but my daughter is at that age where she will be rushing. I’m the type who can shop till I drop and would be using way more calories up if I was on my own. I plan to enjoy the day though. City sidewalks….Busy sidewalks….. Here I come!
12/19 …..191.0 ….. Trend weight 190.4) I arrived home from the Christmas shopping travels at 2:00 AM! I threw all caution to the wind and ate both lunch and dinner at the restaurants out of town. Lots of calories and not as much walking as you might expect. Plenty of time standing in place looking at toy shelves and clothing racks. Lots of time sitting in car driving two hours each way plus driving between many stores. I had fun though and I may be done with the shopping. Weight actually went down a touch overnight (trend slightly up). I suppose it will catch up to me in the coming days and I may see an uptick. If so, that would be fair. Keeping it honest, friends!
12/20 …..191.2 ….. (Trend weight 190.5) Back & Forth like a teeter-totter between 191 and 191.2 . I was hoping for a drop. I guess I should just be happy it didn’t go higher yet after the travels. I attended a funeral home service/memorial yesterday for a friend that was so well loved by so many. She was only 55 and died after an asthma attack. She spent many years having difficulty breathing and having many allergies but this was a shocker. It was difficult seeing her husband and family in such shocked and horrendous grief. This has been a hard year for so many. I, for one, can’t take much more and will be happy to say goodbye to 2021.
12/21 …..191.4 ….. (Trend weight 190.5) I ate horribly yesterday. I consciously chose to eat junk instead of dinner, and call it dinner! A full-on emotional binge. Later last night I decided to cook some chicken breast for today’s dinner to make it easy and something I would go to when looking for ease. I woke up this morning and my son had eaten it all. That’s the second time in the past few days he has done that. So much for prep cooking! I’ll have to have a talk with him! I’ll re-plan today’s dinner. I am feeling so horribly bad due to the bad food that I can barely function. Lethargic lack of energy. Tummy.
12/22 …..192.2 ….. (Trend weight 190.7) Another day of no TMI. Good meals but cookie baking started. A little too much taste testing. I’ll try to do better as I continue baking.
12/23 …..191.4 ….. (Trend weight 190.8) Lots of cookie baking yesterday but I did much better not eating too many. Finally TMI which is what has affected my weight the most. Very hungry today from the moment I woke up. I’ll have to fight all day.
12/24 …..192.4 ….. (Trend weight 190.9) Not too many Christmas treats even though I’m still actively baking. But there was a late dinner though I kept it light. I didn’t count the calories or carbs though. I just eyeballed small quantities. That never works. My family dinner is Sunday.
12/25 …..192.0 ….. (Trend weight 191.1) I’m not liking the creeping trend weight for sure. Too much grazing yesterday and today but the meals were fair. Family dinner is tomorrow and will be reflected on the scale Monday and Tuesday.
12/26 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

I'm a 5'7" female in SE Michigan. I'm in my 50s.
I'm joining late -- but I'm joining again! I find posting here really helpful. Just writing down my weight and notes makes me feel accountable.
I had a super-busy week last week with work + volunteer work + houseguests arriving + travels to visit my parents a couple states over. . . .I'm home now and ready to get back to it.
My goal: be consistently at or under 158 by Christmas.
HW: 163 (July 2021)
UGW: 142 (but I'll be happy with 150 now.)
SW: 158.8
Day/Weight/Comment
12/18 - 158.8
12/19 - 159.4 Drove 6 hours; tracked all food; ate moderately OK.
12/30 - Out of town - no weigh in; tracked all my food; ate at a restaurant w/ family but found a relatively decent meal to eat; went for a 2.3 mile jog
12/21 - Out of town - no weigh in; handled food and snacks well driving 6 hours in the car. Drank more water than usual
12/22 - 157.2 ?? Likely a fluke and will be up again tomorrow; or maybe drinking more is helping?
12/23 - 157.0 Didn't formally track yesterday but ate mindfully, controlled snacking, and controlled portions at dinner. Last day of work! -- Well, I still have a little bit to do today but not much.
12/24 - 157.2 - Ate well - but did indulge in 2 glasses moscato + a chocolate cookie during evening festivities; went for a 3 mile jog
12/25 - 157.2 - Enjoying myself; short-ish walk

Round 172 (104th for me). I prove yet again round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow.
There are only 7 days to Christmas !! Challenge this year is not to gain any additional pounds & I need to remain binge free, but as always – yet again any loss will be a win!
Covid numbers are going up again in England (Omnicrom) – the pandemic is still very much here: Covid is still very much around! Continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in public indoor settings, think before you head out, stay alert and always consider others.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But than I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

I hope everyone had some fun on Christmas Day, whatever your circumstances were. We had last minute changes due to 2g/kids being pinged, but made the best of what we could do thanks to Skype.
• In Maintenance for over 2 years
• Smart BMI - optimal weight.
• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal rangeJust because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessarily.
People are still dying out there……… and the numbers are on the rise again.
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
December focus:
maintain weight < 145 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
Work on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's
I can’t quite believe I’m under 140 and staying here 😱 I keep expecting the scale to shoot up again!

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.

12/23 142.6 I am at my highest and my willpower has really dropped. Need to take concrete actions.
12/24 140.4 (?) OMAD, 13K steps, 9c water. Went ham on the upside down pineapple cake but omad saved the day. If I see this # recurring, I will focus on getting to 140 lbs.
12/25 139.3 OMAD, 15K steps, 10c water. Skirted drinking by fixing myself a mango lassi and claimed it as dessert as well.
** Think the drops are combination of omad plus water weight loss, but I am glad to shed it nonetheless. Need to mentally be ready to see lower drops.
12/26 138.4 OMAD, 14K steps, 9c water, drank 8 oz of wine. OMAD was a struggle today but happy to not give in. Going on a short vacation and determined to continue

12/18 202.0 (-.4) I got my booster shot yesterday afternoon. Feeling a bit tired, but not too bad. I didn’t schedule a thing today in preparation. I will be having my indulgence meal later so my weight will be up a bit over the next few days.
12/19 203.8 (+1.4) I ate my indulgence meal and slept most of the day. Today, I’m hiking with my sister which will be nice.
12/20 203.8 (+1.4) Anticipating that the scale will start moving down tomorrow. We hiked over four miles yesterday. It was cold, but beautiful. No organized exercise today, but focusing on staying on plan and drinking all my water.
12/21 203.8 (+1.4) Surprised to still be at this weight. It was a busy day yesterday. I ate late and didn’t get my water in. Still, it’s going to drop because I’m eating right. Today, I’m swimming, so a whoosh is in my near future. I’d love to be down to a new low weight before Christmas festivities commence.
12/22 202.6 (+.2) There’s a bit of a drop. Still not down to my low weight, but happy with that, especially the week of Christmas. Today is busy…no organized exercise. We have nine days left until the end of the year. It’s been a good year.
12/23 203.8 (+1.4) What a difference a day makes. I got into the fritos and ate more than I should. Giving myself some grace over these next few days and plan to enjoy myself. I will continue to weigh and post every day. No guilt involved.
12/24 204 (+1.6) Had a wonderful time creating found object and clay sculptures with my sister yesterday. Tonight we celebrate Christmas with family and tomorrow I’ll be relaxing at home catching up on Christmas movies. This will be my first challenge where I will gain weight, but I look forward to enjoying the holiday and then getting back on track for an amazing new year.
12/25 207.4 (+5) Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, my friends.
12/26 205.4 (+3) I enjoyed my Christmas and am back on track today. My sister and I are doing our last hike of 2021. Now on to the 190’s!

❄️🌨️☃️ December ☃️🌨️❄️
18: 209.9 Had a small birthday celebration for my 17yo son. Only splurge was a single serving of lemon bundt cake. 😋
19: 209.7 Well below calories yesterday, but stayed at BF's last night so weighed late this morning. 210 was my December 30th goal, and with the holidays I'll be content to maintain where I'm at through that date. The next mini goal is 205 by January 13th.
20: 209.1 I was planning on going to the gym this morning, but I couldn't sleep last night. I'm on maybe 5 hours and feeling exhausted, so I'm taking it easy and will take extra steps to sleep better tonight. Gym tomorrow morning.
21: 209.2 MUCH better sleep last night. Heading out the door for the gym in a few minutes.
22: 209.0 Oh hey ... This is my 1000th post! 😁
23: 209.0 🥚 Between hormones and holidays, I imagine this little plateau will break up before coming back down. I'm confident I'll still be (back?) at or under 210 on my goal date of the 30th though.
24: 209.0 🥚 Happy to be holding steady!
25: 208.3 🥚 Merry Christmas!🤶🏽🎄⛄
26: 208.6 🥚 👀 Really?! This is so much better than I anticipated, and I wouldn't have been upset if it was significantly higher. I hosted my family Christmas yesterday, which is a first. Our tradition is homemade burritos, so of course I was going to eat a freshly made tortilla that I rolled out myself. One big burrito, a few sweets, and a couple glasses of strawberry blush wine that my sister brought. It was a good day. Started fasting 2 hours early because I was still full. Not sure when I'll finally be hungry again, so this might be an extra long fast compared to my usual 16-17 hours.

12/18 - 180.8, Ave 181.2
Thought I’d be down a little this morning, but I guess it’s gonna take a few days for lower cals to kick in. No problem. I baked a mincemeat pie yesterday and had a small piece but still kept cals below 1500, so not too bad. I’ve been laughing at Mike (cat) and Rory (puppy) playing their usual game. Mike calls it Whack-a-Dog, Rory calls it Chase a Cat. Rory chase Mike under the bed, then jumps on top, off the other side, races around and down the hall, Mike runs out from under the bed and whacks Rory as he goes by, Rory runs a loop around the living room, rinse, repeat. At least they get some exercise on this wet, cold, gloomy morning—maybe I should join in! And I get to laugh.😁
12/19 - 180, Ave 180.8
Ok, maybe I will make my under 180 goal for my birthday! DH asked for oatmeal cookies this morning, so I just baked a batch. I’m going to (try to) limit myself to one. I’m going to enjoy everything this week, but try to keep the totals down. Hard to believe it’s almost Christmas!
12/20 - 181, Ave 180.9
Salt. I feel waterlogged. That’s ok, I’ll just drink lots of water today.
12/21 - 181, Ave 180.9
Two in a row.
12/22 - 180.4, Ave 180.7
Well, I didn’t make it to the 170s for my birthday, but close! DH & I have a tradition of taking each other out for birthday late-lunch-cum-dinner, and I’ve chosen one of our favorite Italian restaurants—but carry out, as we’ve been doing for - yikes! - almost two years now. Anyway, I plan to enjoy it!
12/23 - 180, Ave 180.5
I enjoyed my birthday but didn’t go nuts. 😁 Thank you for all the happy wishes! ❤️
12/24 - 181.8, Ave 180.6
‘‘Twas the night before Christmas… Wishing those who celebrate a lovely Christmas Eve, and wishing everyone peace, plenty, health, and joy.
12/25 - 181.8, Ave 181.1
Merry Christmas! I’m not counting calories today (or yesterday), although I haven’t baked so it shouldn’t be too bad. I’m off to run Rory pup at the park, then planning a pretty quiet day reading, knitting, maybe a nap…. Since it’s just the two of us we got carry out turkey dinners and will add some sweet potatoes and maybe something else, so that’s easy. I enjoy the quiet, though part of me envies the hullabaloo that is Christmas with little kids! Whatever your day looks like, I hope you enjoy it!
12/26 - 182, Ave 181.5
No regrets—I enjoyed Christmas week without going nuts, and now I’m ready to revise my eating. My goals are to cut out added sugars, and get back to controlling calories. Today and tomorrow are the “set up” for the next “get serious” round. Off to run Rory and then walk the two of us. Enjoy your Sunday!

Hi, I'm Jen!
Female, 5'9"
Highest weight: 235 lbs, August 20, 2021
Round 172 SW: 12/17 200.2 lbs
Round 172 GW: 199
12/18: 199.6 lbs (-.6)
Well, my challenge goal was to get under 200, then I weighed in this morning! 😄 I'm going to keep it at 199, just because I've gone down .6 lbs 4 days in a row so I'm anticipating a rebound. Fingers crossed it doesn't, but that's how my body rolls!
12/19: 198 lbs (-1.6)
I was not expecting that! I drank a lot of water yesterday so maybe flushed out some fluid. I also focused on relaxing and stress relief in the evening.
12/20: 198.4 lbs (+0.4)
Still can't believe I'm below 200. It feels unreal!
12/21: 198 lbs (-0.4)
I was expecting to go up. Pretty sore from yesterday's weight session. Need to drink a lot of water today.
12/22: lbs 198 (0)
I'll take a push. Still sore from Monday's workout so yesterday was an active rest day. Got out for a couple walks. Calories were a little low, but a lot of veggies so had trouble fitting more in my stomach!
12/23: 197.8 lbs (-0.2)
Trainer has been brutal this week! Was just starting to get over Mondays and she threw another hard one at us. Starting to feel some abs under my squishy tummy though.
12/24: 197.6 lbs (-0.2)
I'm just gonna creep my way slowly down! 🤣 It's going the right way, so I'm happy.
Hope you all are joyful and safe on this Christmas Eve!🎄🎁🌲🌲
12/25: 196.8 lbs (-0.8)
Not sure why that dropped so quickly. Hard workout yesterday but a rather salty lunch out with a friend. I'm making Christmas dinner for family tonight. Just a small gathering, so not going crazy, but not going to be overly restricted either.
Merry Christmas everyone! Hope Santa was good to you all! 🎄🎅🎁
12/26: 199.6 lbs (+2.8)
Salt, sugar and alcohol. Didn't measure what I ate, not enough water and did not choose wisely. I feel like garbage today, so lesson learned. Lots of water today hoping to flush out the salt.

I'm a 5'7" female in SE Michigan. I'm in my 50s.
I'm joining late -- but I'm joining again! I find posting here really helpful. Just writing down my weight and notes makes me feel accountable.
I had a super-busy week last week with work + volunteer work + houseguests arriving + travels to visit my parents a couple states over. . . .I'm home now and ready to get back to it.
My goal: be consistently at or under 158 by Christmas.
HW: 163 (July 2021)
UGW: 142 (but I'll be happy with 150 now.)
SW: 158.8
Day/Weight/Comment
12/18 - 158.8
12/19 - 159.4 Drove 6 hours; tracked all food; ate moderately OK.
12/30 - Out of town - no weigh in; tracked all my food; ate at a restaurant w/ family but found a relatively decent meal to eat; went for a 2.3 mile jog
12/21 - Out of town - no weigh in; handled food and snacks well driving 6 hours in the car. Drank more water than usual
12/22 - 157.2 ?? Likely a fluke and will be up again tomorrow; or maybe drinking more is helping?
12/23 - 157.0 Didn't formally track yesterday but ate mindfully, controlled snacking, and controlled portions at dinner. Last day of work! -- Well, I still have a little bit to do today but not much.
12/24 - 157.2 - Ate well - but did indulge in 2 glasses moscato + a chocolate cookie during evening festivities; went for a 3 mile jog
12/25 - 157.2 - Enjoying myself; short-ish walk
12/26 - 158.8 - Enjoyed myself a bit too much the last two days. LOL! Time to get back on track. I hope to jog today - it is sunny and mild here.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/17 …..189.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/18 ….191.2 ….. (Trend weight 190.3) Well, for Crying Out Loud! I had a good dietary day yesterday. Better than I have in awhile. No TMI, no sleep last night and early weigh-in probably contributing but it still feels like I’ll spend the entire round trying to get back to start weight! Far travels today for Christmas shopping with daughter. There will be plenty of car sitting and restaurant food will be in the picture which we always enjoy since we are from a very rural area with few choices in dining out. I’ll try to walk off as much as possible with that shopping, but my daughter is at that age where she will be rushing. I’m the type who can shop till I drop and would be using way more calories up if I was on my own. I plan to enjoy the day though. City sidewalks….Busy sidewalks….. Here I come!
12/19 …..191.0 ….. Trend weight 190.4) I arrived home from the Christmas shopping travels at 2:00 AM! I threw all caution to the wind and ate both lunch and dinner at the restaurants out of town. Lots of calories and not as much walking as you might expect. Plenty of time standing in place looking at toy shelves and clothing racks. Lots of time sitting in car driving two hours each way plus driving between many stores. I had fun though and I may be done with the shopping. Weight actually went down a touch overnight (trend slightly up). I suppose it will catch up to me in the coming days and I may see an uptick. If so, that would be fair. Keeping it honest, friends!
12/20 …..191.2 ….. (Trend weight 190.5) Back & Forth like a teeter-totter between 191 and 191.2 . I was hoping for a drop. I guess I should just be happy it didn’t go higher yet after the travels. I attended a funeral home service/memorial yesterday for a friend that was so well loved by so many. She was only 55 and died after an asthma attack. She spent many years having difficulty breathing and having many allergies but this was a shocker. It was difficult seeing her husband and family in such shocked and horrendous grief. This has been a hard year for so many. I, for one, can’t take much more and will be happy to say goodbye to 2021.
12/21 …..191.4 ….. (Trend weight 190.5) I ate horribly yesterday. I consciously chose to eat junk instead of dinner, and call it dinner! A full-on emotional binge. Later last night I decided to cook some chicken breast for today’s dinner to make it easy and something I would go to when looking for ease. I woke up this morning and my son had eaten it all. That’s the second time in the past few days he has done that. So much for prep cooking! I’ll have to have a talk with him! I’ll re-plan today’s dinner. I am feeling so horribly bad due to the bad food that I can barely function. Lethargic lack of energy. Tummy.
12/22 …..192.2 ….. (Trend weight 190.7) Another day of no TMI. Good meals but cookie baking started. A little too much taste testing. I’ll try to do better as I continue baking.
12/23 …..191.4 ….. (Trend weight 190.8) Lots of cookie baking yesterday but I did much better not eating too many. Finally TMI which is what has affected my weight the most. Very hungry today from the moment I woke up. I’ll have to fight all day.
12/24 …..192.4 ….. (Trend weight 190.9) Not too many Christmas treats even though I’m still actively baking. But there was a late dinner though I kept it light. I didn’t count the calories or carbs though. I just eyeballed small quantities. That never works. My family dinner is Sunday.
12/25 …..192.0 ….. (Trend weight 191.1) I’m not liking the creeping trend weight for sure. Too much grazing yesterday and today but the meals were fair. Family dinner is tomorrow and will be reflected on the scale Monday and Tuesday.
12/26 …..194.4 ….. (Trend weight 191.4) 2 ½ lbs overnight? Really? I ate a Christmas breakfast. 1 egg 2 sausage 2 pc of toast 12 oz milk and 6 oz orange juice. That is large for me. No lunch. Dinner was a fast tostino pizza in the oven (those little single serve square ones that cost $1.00). 3 christmas cookies at snack time with 8 oz milk. I made fudge and did some taste testing. So I did not expect a loss. But I think a 2 ½ pound gain eating what others eat every single day is crazy. I should have went up ounces, not pounds. Disgusted here! Today is family Christmas feast, on top of it all. Epic fail this round!
12/27 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

12/18 / 187.4 / New low weight. Did another FTP test on the Peloton today and improved my avg watts by 17 - feeling very happy with the improved fitness! The weather is a bit better here today... I left it all on the bike but I want to get my dog out for a walk too.
12/19 / 187.4 / Had a great day all around yesterday.. my first rum and eggnog, presents are mostly wrapped, got lots of steps in. We have lots to get done between now and Christmas Keeping my eating on track is just another one of the items on the list!
12/20 / 188.2 / Made homemade cabbage rolls at my Mom's yesterday and made sure to get lots of exercise. Started my new Peloton Power Zone program at my new zones.
12/21 / 188.6 / Rode the bike twice yesterday, but also had an unexpected dinner out. It all balanced out.
12/22 / 186.2 / Had a fun dinner out last night at a Christmas pop-up restaurant. Preplanned my meal so that I could stay on track.
12/23 / 187.8 / Still under round goal - the next two days will be the toughest but planning to do my absolute best! Tis the season!
12/24 / 189.2 / Got on the bike this morning and set a PR for my 60 minute time. Done work in about half an hour - I am on call through the holidays which means working more than normal but it will still be a great break!
12/25 / 189.2 / On call for work today so I am starting my day with coffee and work. My cousin and her boyfriend are staying with us so my husband is making us pancakes. Big night of eating last night - one of the only days of the year I didn't track. Merry Christmas!
12/26 / 190 / Had a nice Christmas and now it's time to get refocused. Have another gathering today but should be much more reasonable.

SW: 138.4 (from last Round, 12-17-21)
Day/Weight/Comment
12/18. 138.4. Went to a Christmas party last night and followed my party food strategy. I expected a bit of an uptick, so all is good!
12/19 140.1. OK, so, following the Christmas party on Friday, I logged my best guesses for food. And although I followed my Christmas food 'strategy', I racked up close to 750 calories for the party. Admittedly, I probably guessed on the high side, but it was probably at least 600 calories. (My strategy is 3 goodies and one punch drink per party). Clearly, this was a oh, my gosh moment and I was able to justify not logging yesterday (don't try to figure out the rationale; there is none). Which, of course, included the reasoning to eat 3 cookies on a non-party day. In an hour or two, I will be going to another Christmas party, keeping to my strategy. And, yes, I am back to logging today. It has been a little disconcerting on how off-track my thinking got with one setback (awareness of the high calories even with my strategy). I think my strategy is reasonable, however. Although my goal for the end-of-the-year is 140 lbs, I will keep in mind my UG of 135 lbs end of Feb (vacation). (I'm already trying to brace myself for the end-of-year weight.)
12/30. 139.0 Followed my party strategy; goodies yesterday added up to far less than my last party! Still over a good 200 calories for the day, but that is ok/planned. Now, I only have (very) small family gatherings Christmas Eve and Day. These will be the higher calories count, for sure. I don't believe I've ever had a 'strategy' for holiday treats before, other than planning (and not following through) to not 'sample' goodies as I bake them. So, far, so good, although I more than likely will not be able to fit in exercise on Christmas Day.
12/21 139.0
12/22. 138.2. Visited with neighbors longer than expected yesterday, which resulted in me having a glass of wine and and cookie. Over my calories by just that much yesterday, but it is my strategy to have goodies (within reason) at get-togethers. Going into the home stretch for the holidays...
12/23. 139.0. Still all good. Saw some more neighbors last evening, but did not eat. However, I am finding that by eating more calories this past week or so that I am desiring more calories in general, supposedly feeling more hungry--whether it is hunger or not! I received my booster yesterday and my arm is sore, as expected. I had a mild headache in the middle of the night, but ibuprofen took care of that. Sadly, however, I was up for three hours! And...decided something warm may be conducive to sleep, so I had a good 1/2 cup of egg nog (!). It did work, btw, even being nonalcoholic, lol. I may be able to fit it in my calories for the day (probably not, it will be tight!). Of note, the egg nog was good, but not great, so I will not have it Christmas Eve or Day, as previously planned for at least one of those get-togethers. Be assured, however, I will be having some other drinks/punches those days, but few drinks can compare to calories as egg nog, I would guess.
12/24 138.9
12/25 140.2
12/26 141.5 Haven't posted for a few days, but I did weigh each day. The Christmas celebrations with family were wonderful, but now back to the business of dropping a bit more weight. Hopefully, for all of us affected, any Christmas-related uptick of weight will fall off quickly!
