    I'm going to join in. Personally I've had a bad two years and put on 70lbs, I am only 5ft 2".
    I don't have a specific goal of pounds to lose this round, just want to get my 10K steps in per day and stick to my calories. Lets see how it goes....

    02/05: 215.4lbs
    03/05: 213.8lbs Had a good day yesterday. Drank my water and hit my 10k steps. Stayed within calories.
    04/05: 213lbs Stayed within calories but didn't hit my 10k steps so I'm happy with this drop.
    05/05: 213.2lbs. Stayed within calories, drank my water and hit my steps. Not sure why slight upturn but its nothing major.
    06/05: 211.8. Hit my steps, drank water and stayed within calories
    07/05: 212.4 gave into temptation and over indulged on biscuits.
    08/05: 213.4. Don't know why I self sabotage all the time. Went for a hike yesterday, it killed! shinsplints are killing me today. But ate two croissants when letting the dog out for a wee in the middle of the night. Don't know why I do this! Half the time I barely remember, but every time the dog goes out for a wee I end up snacking. Don't know how I will reach 10k steps today with skin splints and blisters on the back of my heels...
    09/05: 213.2. Managed to finish the day just 1k under my step goal which isn't too bad. But fell victim to the snacking when the dog wees again. I swear, I don't even realize I'm doing it! Such a bummer after being totally on plan all day. My challenge for today/tonight is no wee wee snacks!
    10/5: 213.6. No wee snacks! Cant really take the credit for it though, she didn't need a wee during the night! 1k under my steps, slightly over on calories. Am having to buy my lunch in the canteen in work every day as my husband did the grocery shopping and didnt get any of my staples that I take to work with me. So far this week I've got the meat option with a big side salad... although yesterday it was lasagna... calorie heavy.
    11/05: 213.4. Up and down the same little bit every day. Got my steps in and drank my water. Had vol au vents for lunch yesterday so probably not the best choice!

    I think I'd like to start incorporating some strength training back into my activity routine. 6plus years ago I was majorly into kettle bell workouts, started having some issues with my elbow and shoulder and just stopped. I've got a whole set of them that my boys now use. This week I'm planning on carving myself out a space down there to give them a go again...starting slowly to make sure I get my form back.

    I love kettlebell workouts! One month my niece and I did a challenge of 100 swings a day for the entire month. It was a fun challenge.

    I used to love them as well! Have to admit I didn't even look at a kettlebell in the last 10 days...nevermind swing one LOL. I'm not sure why I can't seem to work them back into my routine...need to get on that...

    I was less excited. Lipid panel was less than stellar. This year, I have been losing weight with CICO, and no consideration for macros. In contrast, in 2021, I had a lot higher volume of fruits and vegetables in my diet. Bummer. I was hoping to see that body weight and exercise was my cholesterol control.

    Cholesterol:
    have you heard of Forks Over Knives diet?

    My cholesterol has always been high ~250-325,
    with high HDL and low triglycerides.
    I used to run a lot/eat low calories/tried a bunch of stuff to try to lower my cholesterol without drugs, without much success, only going down 5-15 points, while killing myself.

    Then last year, I tried FoK for 5.5weeks DILIGENTLY, no cheating.
    And my cholesterol went down by ?90 points to 191. I've never been under 200 without the aid of drugs.

    FoK is all about the vegetables and fruit.
    It's basically vegan (no meat/dairy) but the kicker is no oil/sugar/salt.

    @huango -my cholesterol without Statins is about 351 (100 of that is Good Cholesterol)-I may try a plant-based diet (although that is pretty much what I already eat) and see if that helps.

    My vegetarian farmer friends tried FoK and it's the no dairy/oil/sugar that helped her drop 80points.
    They were already vegetarians (mainly because of all the veggies that they grow), but it wasn't until doing FoK did her cholesterol numbers really move.

    Because of their experiences is why I finally tried FoK.
