15 pounds to lose challenge- November 1, 2023-January 31, 2024

I've been away from MFP for a while. I am mostly maintaining what I lost while on Wegovy. I lost 22 lbs, stopped taking it in August and since then, have regained 3 lbs. This is more than fine as I got through the Holidays without gaining very much back. I stopped drinking wine and all alcohol which surely helped, plus tried to walk daily. Then I got covid so I wasn't too hungry. I hope once I feel totally back to normal I will continue to eat well and get some exercise. I just want to stay around 150 which seems doable.
Happy New Year to all!6 -

The last piece of pecan pie, promised to neighbor Larry, got the best of me and I just ate it. Now I'll be making another pie and make sure he gets a piece.
For Xmas I got a weight bench so now I'll need to get my routines planned.
I made this recipe with some of our leftovers
No review until next month but sure looks good

It is designed to be 365 days of chocolate with a piece (or a serving as listed) for each day of the coming year. Every expensive and fancy brand you can think of. And my secret person was MY FOODIE DAUGHTER that is here so often. Excuse me….how many talks have I had with her 100 pound frame about how I am trying to improve my diet and LOSE WEIGHT? Has she forgotten that I am a DIABETIC? By the way, NOT ONE PIECE is sugar-free chocolate. It was accompanied by multiple bottles of Asti and some very nice lotion. She had purchased a wrapping paper hanging tote thingy and filled the clear pockets with the poison. It was so heavy that she had to have one of the men carry it in for her. WTH? I must tell you that my daughter is the type of person who could actually just eat one small piece or one little truffle per day and have no problem stopping at one. I am not. I am trying to formulate a plan. Simply freezing it will not work as I have no problem melting chocolate in my mouth. On top of all that, I’m still loaded down with Christmas Cookies and fudge from our gathering as well. My head has been spinning since I opened the gift last night! Help!!! My reflection for the year end of 2023: I have lost 16.0 pounds this year. I have learned to eat some new foods that are good for my health and my waistline. Happy New Years Eve Everyone!

This has been a challenging year for me. Dealing with health and family issues and going back to work. I was just not in the right headspace last year but I'm starting out this year in a better place.
We have a once in a lifetime cruise booked for Oct 2024 (28 day Japan/Asia) and my goal is to hopefully be at my desired weight by then.
I need to track my food and find a exercise program I can do at home. Preferably not to intense as I have osteoarthritis in my knees and lower back.
If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them.
Anyway here's to a New Year and a New Me.
HAPPY NEW YEAR.4 -

@200Karen No chocolate company. She literally brought in 365 servings of chocolate, one for each day of the year! I'm working on a plan though.....2 -

-
So I've been putting some thought into this chocolate gift from my youngest daughter..... I think I know what may have happened. Sometime in December she & I were out of town together and I ran into an Aldi's to pick up my dark chocolate. They have a brand called Moser Roth which comes in various amount of cocoa and cocao. I will buy it as high as a 90% content although this last time it was 70%. She asked me about it because of my diabetes and I told her that I find having a square at night helps to stave off my chocolate cravings and that the extra benefit is that it is an antioxident.
I have noticed that in all that chocolate she bought, most of it is dark chocolate. Of course, having a Lindt dark chocolate truffle is not the same as having a 70% or higher cocao piece, but I'm sure she does not understand that because I did not fully go into it or explain it to her. I'm sure she thought it would be something I would love and something I could really use.
What she doesn't know is that I don't eat a square EVERY NIGHT for 365 days. I eat it on occasion when it fits into my macros and when I have a particular craving for something sweet. This is why I like that brand. When you open the bar up, it actually consists of about 5 smaller separately wrapped little mini candy bars that contain 2 squares. It is easy to break it apart, keep the other half in the wrap and put the wrap back into the main bar for safekeeping. It keeps it fresher than just buying a big hunk of a bar. (I'll post a pic for clarification). Anyway, I don't think her gift was an attempt at being brutal. I just think she has misunderstood and so my intention first and foremost is to explain this to her (or the candy may never end).
My plan for the candy is to share with everyone in the family. A little to each family will not be too hurtful. I will ask them not to let her know because she is still quite fragile with all she is going through. Also, I know that she made a big financial leap here that she couldn't afford just to try to provide me something she thought would help. The others will understand and keep it under their hats. I am also going to share the candy with her as she love chocolate, although she is a tiny little person who picks at it and has such wonderful control that I just don't have yet. I will talk to her about my diabetes and explain that I don't eat it everyday. I will ask her to choose some to take home (a lot if possible), whatever is left after this, I will follow Tish's advice ( @tiabirdie56 ) and freeze the rest in my deep freeze that is in the garage since I actually can use some of it. However, I need to keep only the darkest of chocolate since that is where I have the most control. I am not CRAZY about dark cacao so the control is built-in. I know that this plan will not be the most popular with many of you, but I think it can protect my daughter's feelings, be a blessing to some of the other kids/grandkids and still help me to, especially since all my cacao has to be bought out-of-town. I absolutely will not pawn off too much to just one person to create problems for someone else. I will be careful and thoughtful.
Well that's my plan and I'll do my best to stick to it. I've worked too hard on my weight AND by glucose numbers so that will be my guiding force and light going forward. I've had many good ideas on a couple of different challenges and I thank you all for your input. By combining some of your ideas, I think it's a good plan. I will be having ANOTHER talk with my daughter, but this time I will explain things better to her and leave no room for questions. She is not a sabotaging kind of person, honestly. She is just a little thing that does not understand the challenges I face as an obese person (food control). Her heart was in the right place this time I do believe. As for the wine, I will have no problem controlling that. The Martini & Rossi Asti (sparkling wine) is one of my favorites. She bought little 4 packs of that which provides about 2 nice pour wineglasses each. That will last me a long time. She also bought one large bottle which I will not pop open until I have a social occasion or family gathering where it can be shared. Control with alcohol is not a problem for me.2 -

To Deep woods lady
Dona
Take that chocolate you won and all those cookies and fudge and bag it up and take it to the local food bank, homeless shelter etc. If they cant take it then give it to your daughter to take to her home. This way it wont be in your house. You can have a treat of one piece when you visit her. If by chance she wont take it then find someone who will. church group? neighbors? . In the meantime enjoy the lotion and the asti.in moderation:))))) Happy New Year P.S. make less cookies fudge etc for your gatherings and send leftovers home with the attendees ))2 -

Well I went MIA for December and thus the expected weight gain. I am starting afresh and hope to at least lose the December weight gain by the end of this current challenge. I have seen so many inspiring results these past few months. For those who "fell off the wagon" for the holiday season, let's get up from that stumble and put in the work for these final weeks of the challenge .4 -
@deepwoodslady great chocolate release plan 👍
@RubyRed427 WOW great holiday recovery 🏆
I’m starting my day with high hopes for the future, ready to commit to another year of healthy GOALS.
The gym is offering a nutrition challenge and body scan. It will be interesting to hear what the coach says about my results.
The swing of the kettlebell hurts my upper back. So I started my morning trying new stretches.

Mini goal weight 154. Goal Weight 149
I decided to set mini goal weights so I can have some small success along the way.
I made a giant batch of vegetable soup to have for meals and snack on. I am still eating sweets ( I still have Christmas treats in freezer....ACK!) but trying to eat less of them every day.5 -
I am a 5'3" retiree and started tracking again with MFP in January 2022.
My final goal weight is 145.
Highest weight as of 1/3/22: 230 lbs

I refuse to feel discouraged with my slow progress. I reflect on how much I have changed, both physically and mentally, how much healthier I am and how much better I feel than when I started this journey 2 years ago.
January 2nd was my 2 year MFP anniversary. Overall I've lost 73.7 lbs and have dropped from a size 20W to a misses size 8/10. My cholesterol has dropped by 25 points well into normal range and my A1C has dropped below pre-diabetic range. I no longer have pain in my hips and knees. I can sit on the floor and get up without assistance. I'm able to exercise, walk, and perform most physical tasks without being in pain and without quickly becoming out of breath. I can see and feel muscles that I forgot I even had. I no longer stress about it when I eat over my calorie limit for a day or 2. I no longer feel guilty when I eat something that I didn't plan on.
It doesn't matter if I never reach my goal weight or if I do, how long it takes. This is a lifestlye change that I know I will need to continue for the rest of my days.
I hope you all had a happy and healthy new year!
