Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 172
Replies
-
Well, this round includes Christmas. That doesn’t worry me so much- it’s only one day- it’s the rest of the time that will be spent in the kitchen baking. I’m actively planning it out to break all the baking into smaller chunks, and I’m hopeful that doing so will allow me to drop 1-2 lbs this round. So here we go! Let the new round begin!
Goals: HIT.MY.STEP.GOAL!!! 10,000/day; <100 carbs/day; Pelo ride 2-3x/week

12/18- 194.4 72net carbs, but fell well short of the step goal. I’m learning just how important those steps are for me, so I’m determined to get back on track with it.
12/19 195.4 Not sure why the uptick, but whatever. I hit my step goal for once! That makes me happy. 81 net carbs, and on to a better day today.
12/20 193.4 Woohoo! A nice relaxing day paid off! I swear, stress makes me stall like crazy! Step goal achieved and finished the day with 71 net carbs. Bring on this busy week!
12/21 192.8 Loved seeing that number this morning! 62 net carbs, but a little low on steps. I’m now in the midst of my marathon baking so lots of time being spent standing in the kitchen, and not much time left for stepping, but its all good.
12/22 193.0 I’m not surprised. Really, I’m surprised I wasn’t up by 2-3 lbs. I was in the kitchen from 10am till almost 8pm last night. My legs were so swollen after all that! I almost skipped the Pelo ride, but I was curious if riding would help flush out some of the fluid. It did! 66 net carbs, and more baking today. I’m almost through this Christmas baking madness… almost!
12/23 192.6
12/24 191.2
12/25 192.6
12/26 196.6 Well obviously I didn’t actually gain the full 4 lbs (5.4 total in two days). I didn’t track a thing yesterday. I did get a Pelo ride in though. Back to my regularly scheduled programming today!

Oldie rejoined after falling off the wagon. Need your support to stick to it, my body is begging for better treatment.
R172 SW: 104 Goal: steady <103 before Christmas. Counting on beginners fluid loss. End of round<104
12/18 - 103.1
12/19 - 102.6 Waking up with growling stomach but the rest of the day is bearable.
12/20 - 101.7 waaay too quick. I know it is fluids. I know it will stop. But it will be so hard down the line to look at the numbers not moving and staying motivated. Falling right here every time
12/21 - 101.7 saving some morning calories for the evening meeting with friends.
12/22 - 102.0 pizza and beer for dinner with friends. Did save calories for it all day but bloating was expected.
12/23 - 102.2 holiday season with nice dinners all the time so from now on hoping to remain around <103 will not have a scale for a few days.
12/24 - 102. Not sure this is correct and different scale. Christmas food today letting myself indulge. The maon challenge is to get back on track tomorrow and when back home in a few days
12/25 - NA. Didn't dare to get on the scale while managed to have some moderation. Until the sweets table. Oh. My. God. Spent the day trying to compensate without insulting the hosts. Not so easy. And feeling control is going loose in the evening. Have to stay on track!
12/26 - 102. Still wrong scale. Feel the control feeling went away. Though I think I 'behaved". Lets see how it looks tomorrow when I get back into my own kitchen

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 🎄 🎁✨

170 151.2->148.3 (150.5)
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
12/23
12/24 beat my time for that 12 days workout that I did earlier in the week by like 15 minutes when I did it with my family hah. 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! 🎄 🎅🏻 🌟 🎁

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.

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
12/18 208.6 Walked 3.8 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Feeling more normal again! Invited my sister over for dinner to talk through my mom’s comments this week … mom (85 who lost her husband last year) started dreaming about a life and getting married to an old friend in January but he was not interested. She had built it up in her head that she would move back to our home town, into society, travel to his many homes, etc. Trying to help her through the disappointment and not be embarrassed. I believe she is lonely and the situation is remote where she is living but she is unwilling nor can she afford to move closer to my sister and I (nor does she want to). She’ll be here for 2 weeks and my sister and I needed to get on the same page before seeing mom again.
12/19 208.5 Walked 3 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Really lazy rainy day! Puzzles, wrapped gifts and reading “Sherlock Holmes & The Christmas Demon”.
12/20 207.7 No exercise, ? cal, ? net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Party yesterday afternoon where they served a beautiful steak salad at Taste of Texas in Houston. Very easy to work with on my portions and calories for the day. Though the evening I did have red beans and rice with sausage. Again kept my portion small but wondering if it will come back to bite me. A little shopping with DD since she is overwhelmed with the work, moving into a new house on Saturday and pregnancy. She needed gifts for her in-laws and didn't want to weight until Friday when she was off work. Took her a fun bag of new mom moving kit I made with a Gaiam Relax Back & Neck therapy wrap, bath bombs, shower steamers, Burt’s Bees Mama Belly Butter Skin Care, and a bag of homemade party trash she has been craving.
12/21 207.7 Walk 1.3 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Shopped for flowers and made several flower arrangements that cheer up the indoors (kitchen, den, dining, guest bedrooms, powder room)! DD’s brother in law that is living with her husband’s parents tested positive for covid so his family is in quarantine. Her friend that was to stay over some this week also tested positive. SOOOoooo trying to keep safe and looks like DD will spend Christmas Day with us.
12/22 206.7 Walk 3 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Son and his wife came in town for the holidays and are bouncing back and forth from our house to his siblings. It has been fun having all the kids around. LOTS of cooking!
12/23 DNW Totally forgot to step on the scale or if I did I forgot the #! ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Also did not exercise … not even a walk! Took the girls (DD and 2x DIL) for pedicures Guess I really should do something that includes my boys one of these days! After a day of everyone running in and out it was nice for my son & his wife to go to my daughter’s home and hang out with just the younger adults. DH & I had a quiet evening.
12/24 207.3 Walked 1.2 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, ? cal, ? net carbs, lots of cookies, dinner out 3 glasses Prosecco. Final doctor’s appt of the year (well woman) and she said I did not need to come back annually anymore. Guess I made it to the age of … return when you notice something different LOL. I’ll keep up the annual mammograms since both my sister and mom had breast cancer. Fun time with the girls (DD & DIL other DIL her mom is now in town for the holiday so she did not join us) … took them to a candle making shop where there were over 100 scents for us to experiment and create our own candles!
12/25 209.2 No exercise. Lots of prep and cooking for our annual Christmas Eve party. 3 glass wine.
[/spoiler]
12/26 209.0 Walked 3 miles (6 people & 3 dogs) + 1 miles, 1 glass wine. Lunch at my sisters and leftover seafood gumbo later in the evening. No pies or cakes this year but lots of cookies. I need to get back to journalling every bite … on Monday after the family leaves.
12/27 208.2 Walked 3.9 miles, 1 Torchy’s Tini @ lunch and 2 glasses wine for dinner. Got the house back to ourselves after lunch … so tons clothes and bedding to wash. TODAY not Jan 1 is the beginning of my focus on weight loss again. No more of the holiday excess.11 -

**************************************
12/18 141.4 (trend 140.6) Starting the new round with an almost 3lb gain is fascinating! How? This is after tmi etc and I don't feel bloated or anything. How peculiar! Doesn't bode well for my end of year goal of 140 trend weight... gonna have to be very careful this week. Having a roast today though so starting tomorrow...wink
12/19 140.2 (trend 140.6) That's a bit better! Trying to decide what to do about Christmas, even if my bro and his family, who are all C19+, test negative by then, the London mayor has declared a 'major incident' due to how fast cases are rising there so we're not sure if it's a good idea to go. But then we don't have a kitchen just a little toaster oven so if we don't go then it's gonna be tricky to do Christmas lunch at home. We'll have to play it by ear.
12/20 140.6 (trend 140.6) Had a few treats yesterday as I went out shopping with my daughter. Had a Greek salad with chicken and pita and later shared a piece of cheesecake, then salty snacks and whisky in the evening. If I can maintain this trend weight to the end of the year I'll be ok with that.
Did have a trip to IKEA planned for today but cancelled it, gonna try and stay home and virus free for the rest of the week instead. Stay safe everyone x
12/21 140.0 (trend 140.5) Lots of carb cravings and felt really hormonal
12/22 142.2 (trend 140.8) Totally blew it yesterday, gah! Beers, pizza, nachos, etc etc no idea how many calories. I am expecting this to go up even further tomorrow, ah well. All willpower is gone!
Got a last minute hair appointment tomorrow because of a cancellation, yay! Haven't had a haircut in months and I really need it!
12/23 143.2 (trend 141.1) Things are not going to plan! Oh well, time to accept that for the 2 weeks surrounding Xmas I have zero self control so may as well enjoy it x
12/24 142.6 (trend 141.3) Indigestion all night following eating pizza and salad, will I ever learn? Heading off to London to stay with my bro and bringing a tonne of cheese and port with me, wahey! Have a lovely Christmas everyone, see you on the other side! X☃️🎄🎁🎅❄

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.

12/19 119.0 Had Popeye’s chicken for OMAD while out for groceries. Not the best choice but hasn’t destroyed me. I plan to eat clean or fast until Christmas.
12/20 119.0 AF Finished my salad, DH ate leftover Popeye’s. Total carbs yesterday = 7g Now to stick to the plan. I was getting a cramp in my calf when I was getting ready for bed last night and ate Pink Himalayan salt. Cramp gone, slept well, I think.

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.
27: 208.4 🥚 I ended up fasting for 20 hours. Then had just a 4-hour eating window. My weight is not reflecting this bloated feeling, so maybe a whoosh is coming soon.
-1 pound this round

Day/Weight/Comment
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!
12/27 - 180.2, Ave 181.1
I can’t believe I finished this round down a teensy. Yay! See you next round!

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 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.
12/27: 197.4 lbs (-2.2)
Lots of water lost. Still feel bloated, but more water today should help that.
Round 172 weight loss: 2.8 lbs
Overall, pretty proud of my progress. I'm feeling more mentally confident, physically capable and less anxious than I've felt in 2 years. I'm excited for the new year. Let's crush it in 2022 and see you all in Round 173!8 -

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!
12/27 203.4 (+1) It’s amazing to me how quickly my body lets loose of the holiday weight. While I gained a pound over this ten day challenge, my first time gaining, I consider that an epic win. In the past, I would have just given up. Now, it’s enjoy the holiday, food and all, and then get back on track. See you in the next round!7 -

While I gained a pound over this ten day challenge, my first time gaining, I consider that an epic win. In the past, I would have just given up. Now, it’s enjoy the holiday, food and all, and then get back on track. See you in the next round!
Congratulations on winning the mental game. LOVE that attitude! That's why I see your continued successful next year.

12/27 - DNW - Yesterday was crazy busy. Up and moving early. FamHub's dad demanded we join them for breakfast once he found out we'd never managed to get in to eat there (ALWAYS busy). Was able to weigh, just not post. Blip up Christmas dinner (ribs and a bunch of delicious sides). Couldn't weigh this morning, BF kicked me out of the bathroom before I had a chance to. Can't wait to buy a house with more than one bathroom....sigh. Not as great with water yesterday. Over 75oz but not entirely sure how much over. Should've had more, for sure. I'm off today, but everyone else working so I can get back on track. Knocked out my workout I've postponed since Friday due to not really being home. BF got me my multi-use air fryer for Christmas!!! I'm so excited to try it out, been wanting one for ages but figured I'd wait until we moved and had more space. Friend's birthday tonight so going over there to enjoy sliders and various sides to celebrate with her so testing the air fryer out will have to wait until tomorrow. Everybody except me works New Years Day so I don't think we'll be doing much to derail me on goals/habits. Grocery shopping today most likely, will look up recipes and get a list together for healthy lunch options for me and staples for the house. Off to catch up on the last few days worth of posts I've missed!
EDIT: I got my Christmas wish of it being warm enough to wear shorts and a t-shirt on Christmas (Eve AND day)!!! Spent a lot of time outside this entire weekend which was very much needed mentally after having a cold front the week prior. Still warm today so will fix up garden since most of my plants died in the cold snap.
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.
12/24 - DNP
12/25 - 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!)

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 …..192.6 ….. (Trend weight 191.5) There is the drop back down. I think it was likely TMI related. Up a bit from 2 days ago but last night was our Family Feast/Holiday Dinner. Under a pound gain so I am happy and hope nothing more shows up later. Got to get through the leftovers and the rest of the year. Sweating bullets here! Up 3 full pounds this round.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
12/27 / 189.8 / Very much back into my routine now - feeling great about how this year has gone and looking forward to my next stage of progress in 2022! See you in R173.6 -
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)

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.
12/27 - 158.6 - I'm keeping that increase from a couple days ago, but that makes sense. The good news is that I'm actually slightly lower than I was 10 days ago - through Christmas! I did get in a 2.5 mile jog yesterday. Friends came over for dinner, and brought dessert. I did indulge. . .
Sinterklaas (we celebrate woefully late b/c we're not in NL and b/c the (grown) kids still want to do it so we wait until everyone is back in town) and New Year's are still to come - but this is good for me at this point.6 -
Well, this round includes Christmas. That doesn’t worry me so much- it’s only one day- it’s the rest of the time that will be spent in the kitchen baking. I’m actively planning it out to break all the baking into smaller chunks, and I’m hopeful that doing so will allow me to drop 1-2 lbs this round. So here we go! Let the new round begin!

12/18- 194.4 72net carbs, but fell well short of the step goal. I’m learning just how important those steps are for me, so I’m determined to get back on track with it.
12/19 195.4 Not sure why the uptick, but whatever. I hit my step goal for once! That makes me happy. 81 net carbs, and on to a better day today.
12/20 193.4 Woohoo! A nice relaxing day paid off! I swear, stress makes me stall like crazy! Step goal achieved and finished the day with 71 net carbs. Bring on this busy week!
12/21 192.8 Loved seeing that number this morning! 62 net carbs, but a little low on steps. I’m now in the midst of my marathon baking so lots of time being spent standing in the kitchen, and not much time left for stepping, but its all good.
12/22 193.0 I’m not surprised. Really, I’m surprised I wasn’t up by 2-3 lbs. I was in the kitchen from 10am till almost 8pm last night. My legs were so swollen after all that! I almost skipped the Pelo ride, but I was curious if riding would help flush out some of the fluid. It did! 66 net carbs, and more baking today. I’m almost through this Christmas baking madness… almost!
12/23 192.6
12/24 191.2
12/25 192.6
12/26 196.6 Well obviously I didn’t actually gain the full 4 lbs (5.4 total in two days). I didn’t track a thing yesterday. I did get a Pelo ride in though. Back to my regularly scheduled programming today!
12/27 194.4 And it’s moving back down! I knew it would though. I’ve gotten pretty good at hopping right back on the train after a day of indulgence over the years. 53 net carbs and hit my step goal. On to the next 10 day challenge!
Total round change: +0.2lbs, not bad not bad!4 -
I'm in! Thank you, @quiltingjaine !

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 🎄 🎁✨

170 151.2->148.3 (150.5)
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
12/23
12/24 beat my time for that 12 days workout that I did earlier in the week by like 15 minutes when I did it with my family hah. 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! 🎄 🎅🏻 🌟 🎁

12/26 Christmas party over. Back to work 1/2 today. Ate like normal today but a little lower on protein. I’ll have a few days of relative normal before Colorado later this week. Protein: 105

Oldie rejoined after falling off the wagon. Need your support to stick to it, my body is begging for better treatment.
R172 SW: 104 Goal: steady <103 before Christmas. Counting on beginners fluid loss. End of round<104
12/18 - 103.1
12/19 - 102.6 Waking up with growling stomach but the rest of the day is bearable.
12/20 - 101.7 waaay too quick. I know it is fluids. I know it will stop. But it will be so hard down the line to look at the numbers not moving and staying motivated. Falling right here every time
12/21 - 101.7 saving some morning calories for the evening meeting with friends.
12/22 - 102.0 pizza and beer for dinner with friends. Did save calories for it all day but bloating was expected.
12/23 - 102.2 holiday season with nice dinners all the time so from now on hoping to remain around <103 will not have a scale for a few days.
12/24 - 102. Not sure this is correct and different scale. Christmas food today letting myself indulge. The maon challenge is to get back on track tomorrow and when back home in a few days
12/25 - NA. Didn't dare to get on the scale while managed to have some moderation. Until the sweets table. Oh. My. God. Spent the day trying to compensate without insulting the hosts. Not so easy. And feeling control is going loose in the evening. Have to stay on track!
12/26 - 102. Still wrong scale. Feel the control feeling went away. Lets see how it looks tomorrow when I get back into my own kitchen
12/27 - NA

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.
