Day/Weight/Comment
12/22 …..197.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/23 -199.2- (Trend weight 198.4) Wow! The snow this morning but we were warned – up to 17 inches expected over 48 hour period! Well…. My weight is up and my trend weight has creeped up too. Definitely a weight gain, not just bloat. It’s all caught up to me. Daughter and DGS here again until Sunday. They arrived yesterday evening. This makes it difficult. I’ve got to keep my eye on the ball! Good luck everyone this round. This is definitely the hardest round of the year for most everyone!
12/24 -198.6- (Trend weight 198.4) A drop today which is totally welcomed. I’ve made a few of the fudges but will spend most of the day today making more fudge, candies and cookies. Tomorrow too, so everything will be very fresh for our dinner on Monday. Sunday all my children will be going to their in-laws. I will be baking like crazy lots of other goodies on Sunday in my double ovens. All my meals need to be on point because of all the licks and the other two things @quiltingjaine mentioned from the WW quip. Tis the season!

Thank you for all the birthday wishes yesterday! Obviously, looking at my weight this morning, I enjoyed myself. That was the plan! It’s -9F here right now, wind chill -35F. Not going out! I am planning to make a pot of jambalaya to warm us up tonight. Yum! To the rest of you in the path of this wicked cold storm, stay warm and safe.
12/24 - 178.8
Happy Christmas Eve to all. I’m not doing much baking since we’re pretty much locked down, so not too many sweets around, but I do plan to make a mince pie today and homemade cranberry sauce. I made a really yummy jambalaya soup last night with Andouille sausage, chicken, and shrimp — perfect for a zero and below (F, not C!) day. I’ve also been indulging in a box of beautiful chocolates that DH got for my birthday. If I gain a couple of pounds, oh well, it’s Christmas, and they’ll come off. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Oh, and this little boy is my present to myself — coming home either next week or the week after, depending on driving weather. Looking for a name now. (Lavender refers to his collar color.) 😍

12/25 🎄 Happy Christmas everyone & hope all my friends across the pond are able to stay safe and warm with the massive storm you are having 🤞🙏. Came away for Christmas, brought our caravan up to a site close to DD, DS & their families, so concentrating on making sure I'd brought all the presents etc, that forgot to pack the scales!! I'll still try to keep restrained, but it is Christmas, so when I get home at the weekend I'll see the damage!!. Managed to fit a5.5 mile walk in after we arrived & set up on site.

@quiltingjane Any particular place you want to cruise to for your big 50?
I have always wanted to take a European river cruise but our anniversary falls in December and that is not the time of the year to be on any River in Europe.
Have a wonderful year planning your trip!3 -

Thank you for all the birthday wishes yesterday! Obviously, looking at my weight this morning, I enjoyed myself. That was the plan! It’s -9F here right now, wind chill -35F. Not going out! I am planning to make a pot of jambalaya to warm us up tonight. Yum! To the rest of you in the path of this wicked cold storm, stay warm and safe.
12/24 - 178.8
Happy Christmas Eve to all. I’m not doing much baking since we’re pretty much locked down, so not too many sweets around, but I do plan to make a mince pie today and homemade cranberry sauce. I made a really yummy jambalaya soup last night with Andouille sausage, chicken, and shrimp — perfect for a zero and below (F, not C!) day. I’ve also been indulging in a box of beautiful chocolates that DH got for my birthday. If I gain a couple of pounds, oh well, it’s Christmas, and they’ll come off. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Oh, and this little boy is my present to myself — coming home either next week or the week after, depending on driving weather. Looking for a name now. (Lavender refers to his collar color.) 😍

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for over 5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

12/23 -199.2- (Trend weight 198.4)
12/24 -198.6- (Trend weight 198.4) A drop today which is totally welcomed. I’ve made a few of the fudges but will spend most of the day today making more fudge, candies and cookies. Tomorrow too, so everything will be very fresh for our dinner on Monday. Sunday all my children will be going to their in-laws. I will be baking like crazy lots of other goodies on Sunday in my double ovens. All my meals need to be on point because of all the licks and the other two things @quiltingjaine mentioned from the WW quip. Tis the season!
12/25 -199.6- (Trend weight 198.5) Well, the baking is in full force. More today as our dinner is tomorrow. It was a wonderful Christmas morning for Johnny and I. DD (with food I’m sure) and new SIL and DGS #4 will be over later to help with more baking. Merry Christmas everyone and Happy Hanukkah to all.

Joining this round even though I will be in Puerto Rico at the end. We leave for the airport on the 27th and I won’t have a scale or a care about what I eat until we get back on January 7th. I’ll participate through Tuesday morning though! My goal is to maintain since we’re hosting two family get-togethers.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/23 - 121.0! Surprised to see a loss since DH’s birthday was yesterday. We went out for Mexican and then had a couple drinks at a concert last night. But I actually didn’t bake a cake because he asked me to organize yesterday instead of cooking and baking. My dresser was a mountain of socks, knitting stuff, outgrown baby clothes, Halloween costumes, etc. Felt good to clean it all off, and I didn’t have to cook dinner or bake/eat a cake! Despite feeling a little insulted, it was a win-win.
12/24 - 120.8 new low weight!! For my entire adult life!
12/25 - DNW but wanted to check in to say Merry Christmas to all of you!! We had a bonkers day at my house but oh my goodness little kids are magical!

12/23. 136.6 - no structured walking, my day for childminding 2 little DGS.
12/24. 137.4 - oh dear, Christmas goodies and no walking showing up already!! Yesterday was a washout; heavy rain all day & preparation for the big day as well as nails and hair appointments.
12/25 🎄 Happy Christmas everyone & hope all my friends across the pond are able to stay safe and warm with the massive storm you are having 🤞🙏. Came away for Christmas, brought our caravan up to a site close to DD, DS & their families, so concentrating on making sure I'd brought all the presents etc, that forgot to pack the scales!! I'll still try to keep restrained, but it is Christmas, so when I get home at the weekend I'll see the damage!!. Managed to fit a 5.5 mile walk in after we arrived & set up on site.
12/26 - Had a wonderful day family, all the little DGC were so excited and all presents loved. Managed 4 mile walked before rain came in the morning.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

got care free in maintenance and the scale went up one lb at a time. Now I’m turning it around one lb at a time.
2016- 245lbs
2019- 142lbs
9/12/22- 185lbs
12/23 182.6
12/24 183.6
12/25 185.8
12:26 186.0 I hope it comes off as impressively as it went on! This is an example of how quickly I can gain. I didn’t eat an epic amount of food just that every bite was very calorie dense and rich. Looking forward to big salads and the gym.4 -
Round 209 SW:260
12/23 -- 260
12/24 -- 258.3 Christmas coming...so hard to resist the goodies but will be mindful at least!
12/25 -- 259 Merry Christmas to all that celebrate it! Trying to up my water intake today to try and balance out any bad decisions on my part! Not gonna stress too much about it though. Its super cold here in San Antonio..24 degrees this morning. I guess Texas forgot we are in tropics. Stay warm everyone!
12/26 -- 259.6 OK I can live with that, not nearly as tragic as I expected. Checking in early and keeping my commitment to log in and weigh daily. Off to work this cold Texas morning. I work 24 hour shifts so will check in again tomorrow. Y'all have a safe one!
