@Cchassee Back exercises and progression exercises will get you there! Start with hangs, then scapular pull ups, then jumping up to the top and trying to control yourself on the way down, and eventually those muscles can pull you up. The tips on this video are the most on point because no amount of assisted pull up machine or seated lat pull downs will get you there.

Jen; 46; 5'4"
About Me:This is my fifteenth round and really appreciate having someplace to stay accountable.
Thanks to a medication I'm on for my mental health and an overeating habit, I managed to gain a lot of weight in the last year or so. On July 4, I stepped on the scale for the first time since I started the med (that is known to cause weight gain) and decided enough was enough. I buckled down and started actually recording my food for the first time in over five years and started walking every day. Now I need motivation to keep going. I'm a mom of five and grandma of one 4yo that I babysit during the week when my daughter is working. We live in the Pacific Northwest where we're entering the rainy season which makes walking a lot harder, and it's my main form of exercise right now. I do have access to gym equipment at our HOA clubhouse, but I still have to walk there and back (takes about 9 minutes). I recently started working full time (after over 23 years as a SAHM) so my time to exercise is now limited.

11/28 - 214.8 - no exercise - My weight was up again this morning. The pumpkin pie is almost gone, though and so are the leftovers. I'll be making turkey and dumpling soup tomorrow probably. And that should cut back on the calories I have during the day. I just get off work and I'm tired and hungry and just want to chill and munch on some chips or whatever so I gave in last night and had some veggie straws and today I had some Ritz Thin Crisps to satisfy my cravings. I also don't get as much exercise as I did before even though I'm on my feet all day. I still don't know if I'm going to go to the gym on my two days off. My feet are killing me and I just want to relax tomorrow. When I'm not taking care of my grandson. Oh, I also have to take my car to Autozone to find out why the check engine light is on. Ugh.
11/29 - 215.2 - no exercise - I was up again today. Sigh. I know it's because I keep having small slices of pumpkin pie in the morning and I've been getting serious munchies after getting off of work. I gave into that the last two nights because I was just tired and sore and wanted comfort food to relax. I also ate way too much today and am way over on calories so I think I'm just going to call today a wash, have a big slice of apple pie with ice cream and then get back on track tomorrow. I also didn't get to go on a walk or to the gym today because I have felt super dizzy all day. Any time I moved, the whole room would spin. I was finally feeling a little better when I went to cook dinner, but it was really bad around lunch time. No idea what was going on. I don't feel sick in any way. The dizziness came out of nowhere.
11/30 - 217.4 - no exercise - My weight was up a bunch after my impromptu break from calorie counting yesterday. But it's all good. I just now know where I stand and can just start back up from here. I was mostly good today. Had a salad for lunch and soup for dinner. I did munch on some leftover season fries and turkey while I cooked. I logged them both to get me back on track with that stuff. Now I just have to power through for a couple weeks. Then it's my birthday (13th) which will be a cheat day so I can, you know, have cake and stuff. After that I start baking for the holidays. I think, though, I'll keep my baking to the week before Christmas to limit my temptations.

This my second round, I am happy that I continue!
A quick info about myself, I’m 34 years old and 164 cm. I’m a phd student so I mostly sit, not very active. I try to go to the gym at least 3 times a week, but mostly end up by going once or twice. I have been trying to lose weight for about 20 years funnily I have gained 50 kgs through those years. Now I’m 103.8 kg and I hope be 75 kg in a year or more.

Surprisingly, it is quite comfortable, except for how dry my lips are becoming.

Poor you, Girl. But I must say, your teeth are looking FANTASTIC!
PS technically the two "cross" elastics are night only, but I am actually more comfortable with them in.

I use an iPhone and it automatically goes to where I stopped, generally my post from the day before. I don’t know how it works on other devices. ALSO, I write my remark in a Note on my phone and copy and paste to the board. I hope this helps.
Does anyone have insight on other devices?
I use my laptop for my posting (except for when I went to scotland and I used @Quiltingjaine 's method). I keep a word document open and update it daily, and then cut and paste into my MFP post for the day.2 -

HW 172 in 2010. Now 129.2 lbs.
F65, married, MawMaw Proud. Ketovore - NO processed foods/eat clean. Big protein.
Now in “Maintenance” which from my personal experience is the hardest…. A major mind game. New added emphasis: strength, flexibility, agility, balance & muscle mass.
10 day Focus During Holidays
FOCUS ON PROCESS 💪🏻😎
Round Commitments:
1. ST 🏋️♀️ every other day
2. DAILY: 60 min 🔥cal HR 💓Zone 2
3. 5x per week - 🙆♀️ calisthenics (stretch, balance, agility, flexibility & speed)
4. Stay grateful & mindful of the 🎄 ⛪️ holiday! 🙏

12/1 Yesterday: ✅ 1288 cal & macros, 4.1k🚶♀️, 👉🏻ZERO everything else. Nothing to track.
Don’t know how I got in 4.1k steps for walking around the house w/a cane (Actually, joking about the cane, but I did hop around, so maybe over counting hops ?!?!!) Ice does wonders but it should classify as torture.
NSVs- I’m mindful now of what & when I choose to eat… Not obsessing, but clearly mindful. It’s turning into fuel only instead of emotion, comfort, or a tastebud party. I’m also congratulating myself throughout the day with increased positive self-talk. I am finding that growing confidence & healthy choices (includes many decisions not just food) far outweigh the dopamine rush or guilt associated w/the fleeting momentary pleasure of BAD CHOICES. Yes, bad. Gotta be real with myself here. For me, it’s about self-discipline-a battle of the mind.
90% of my will-power relies on the fact that my pantry & fridge don’t include temptations. If we have items that my DH wants, by my request, he hides them… 😃!
Water 💧 is now automatic. Squats, jumping jacks and planks happen in every room in our house throughout the day.
Enjoyed interacting here yesterday 😎
“Pants-demonium….👖” I am forever learning and inspired. Pumped. Giggles too!
Today: another day of lack of movement …nursing my foot and going to a party tonight with 7 friends since high school… NOTE: 6 of 7 have not/are not choosing health. I do receive passive-aggressive grief from the crew…Several of u have mentioned this before… (efforts to sabotage, judgments, lack of support, eye-rolling, etc.) — I will definitely experience it tonight. I am prepared. My mom always said… “Kill’em with kindness!”
#bestshapeofmylife 📣
Let’s GO! 💪🏻🙌🏻

11/28 Yesterday: ✅ 1100 cal, macros 6.8k 🚶♀️, 78 min ex, 23 min 💓Z2, 🔥Total 619 cal. Opted out of an add’l walk cuz of fast. ✅ Calisthenics & stretching. Will 🏋️♀️today since fast is over.
Broke fast at 71 hrs.30 min. I wasn’t hungry it was more about wanting to eat dinner at 6:30 instead of 7PM. 😎 I’m usually finished eating by 6PM every night so I wanted to eat earlier for next IF. I learned from the fast that I can live through being “hungry” … It’s 💯 mind over body. One tough part was between 48 and 50 hours I got a mild headache. Ended up sleeping well. Fasting increased my will power - at least the perception 😎. Today: 🎾🚶♀️🏋️♀️💪🏻Onward!
11/29 Yesterday: ✅ 1464 cal & macros, 13.6k🚶♀️, 190 min ex plus addl 63 min 💓Z2, 🔥1193cal plus🔥230 cals Z2 💓 ✅ 🎾, 🏋️♀️& Calisthenics🙌🏻 I may have overdone it yesterday…. 🙃 Calories a little over but I worked out big.
Today’s Activity: I think I’m developing a stone bruise on my left foot and will play the day by ear. 😢
11/30 Yesterday: ✅ 1344 cal & macros, 10.1k🚶♀️, 65 ex min includes 50 min 💓Z2, 🔥480 ex cal incudes🔥255cals Z2 💓.
And ✅🏋️♀️Took it easy yesterday… I wanted to do more, but had to let it go. Cancelled 🎾. Nice weather, so I walked “gently” to town, piddled & walked home. That was a mistake. My left heel definitely needs TLC, ice all day & rest. First injury that I can remember…. Walking is a wonderful time for reflection but will have to “call in” sick for a few days. Will post 👖📸 later this morn.

Health Journey
************************
1990 (Age 32) - Avg. 135 lbs
2001 (Age 43) - Avg 145 lbs
2010 (Age 52) HW 172 lbs
UGW = 130lbs (ceiling)
In Aug 2014 @ 157lbs (down 15 from heaviest of 172lbs in 2010), I decided to take control of my health. I lost 30lbs by 1/1/2015. Weight topped @ 128-132lbs through the end of 2020. Five years!
🎢 Roller Coaster Begins….
2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-137lbs. Three more solid years.
8/1/ 2022 crept up to 140lbs.
Dropped to 128lbs again by 9/30 then held 130lbs till 12/22.
2023 Back ⬆️ 145lbs by July 15! 15lbs BOOM! Enjoyed eating & margaritas way too much! Ive always eaten healthy BUT portion control is/was a huge issue. Started tracking. Joined “Just give me 10 days” R231 in beginning of 8/2023. Here we are!
I learned MY choices created an emotional 🎢 roller coaster with yo-yo weight and fitness. My forever goal is to reach 130lbs as a ceiling. Pretty clear to me that once I reached my 60s, I would reach a goal weight and then relax/ drift backwards. So glad 145lbs was the max over the last nine years.
I also noticed that as I aged it became much MUCH more difficult to lose weight. I could loose 15lbs easy in 6 to 8 weeks up to my 60s … This is absolutely not true anymore!!!!

@Corina1143 @potasha @Cchassee Inspiring photos everyone. Not sure if I have an "befores". December will continue to be swamped with estate work. It is mind boggling. Jan 30, we snowbird and head to the Florida Keys. My responsibilities will be different. Right now, my plan is to join one of the gym options, or start yoga in the park, but still walk a bunch with the girl gang.7

Round 243
Nov 28 – Dec 7, 2023
61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126
Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.
History:Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a DGS, and second GS on the way. We have three parents, 88(father), 86(mother), 84(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse. A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/28 – 127.6 I am NOT multi-tasking well. Despite not reporting in or sharing with the group, I have stepped on the scale every single morning. So at least I am seeing the consequences of my actions/inactions. Hubby leaves town for two weeks starting the 30th. Typical behavior is to not cook and eat ice cream for dinner while he is away. Soooo, my goal is to get back to tracking and to actually eat real meals. It’s funny, I am actually feeling lost on how to track and eat real meals. So crazy as I was doing it efficiently for roughly 9 months before fumbling. I know I can do this, I just need to be sure to. Let start December well!! Wishing everyone well!
11/29 – 127.8 Ice cream sources and leftovers (dessert and others) are GONE. Now to fully track my day!
11/30 – 126.0
12/1 – 128.4 Hubby left for two weeks yesterday, and I did resort to lots of bad choices at the end of the day.

My second round! Feeling positive! I am focusing on a low-carb breakfast every day and a no carb lunch.
I lose weight quickly at the start of low-carb and then things slow down and motivation can start to drain. Hopefully I will start understanding the "lifestyle not a diet" phrase. Posting my "before" picture this afternoon. Weighing every day for my own motivation. I am always rounding up to the next pound. No more decimals.

12/1 - My son had a party with his friends last night and the house was full of tempting foods and I definitely overindulged. The scale does not reflect that. I've been a lot more active lately. Maybe that's why, or maybe it just hasn't caught up to me.
I am proud that I've exercised every day this week! That's an accomplishment!

11/28 - Well all the holiday overeating has caught up to me. Last round I did not meet any of my goals. This round will be different! Overall I still weigh less now than when I first started 2 rounds ago.
Part of the problem is access to off-plan food. I don't mind splurging for the holiday itself, but I have to learn to refuse the leftovers. It's too tempting to have them in the house. And when I have free access to sweets, I binge. Every time. But part of the process is learning these things. I need to do some research on how to defend against the binge!
11/29 - Still struggling with holiday leftovers and sweets. I talked with my accountability partner and my sister yesterday and wrote down some action steps to keep me from binging or over indulging. Just have to actually use them when the craving strikes.
Super busy day today so it's going to be difficult to stick to the plan. But hopefully I can keep working my program and using the skills that I'm learning.
11/30 - A couple NSVs yesterday
1. When I was feeling cold, tired, and cranky, I opted for a sugar free hot chocolate instead of a high fat, sugary dessert.
2. I chose fruit for my evening snack instead of chips or peanuts, even though that's what my husband was eating.
3. A pair of pants that was tight on me last time I wore them is almost too big now! 🥳
It's working!!!
Yesterday was as busy and stressful as I anticipated, but I didn't let it get me down. I didn't binge. I didn't go off the rails. That in and of itself is a major victory! 🥳🙌10 -
I'm 30F and committed to wondering less about the scale and wondering instead about how great it's going to be when my daily healthy practices are so normal that it would be weird not to do them, even on vacations or holidays. It has been nice so far.
11/28 macros ✔️ ST ✔️
11/29 macros ✔️
11/30 130.0👖From having to pull them up on my thighs and barely being able to button them to easily sliding them on my legs and buttoning without having to suck in. Whoohoo!

I wish I had the patience to remember everyone's screen name and thank you and congratulate you each individually for sharing your trials and triumphs. It's wonderful hearing about everyone's NSVs and NSGs (non scale goals) especially like @psychethelover with decreased pain when walking to class. That's what it's all about! Keep noticing these things and please keep sharing.
I didn't even think of my other NSV yesterday, that @Cchassee noted in herself today, I weighed in at 130 yesterday and put my hands in the air like I'd won something! Previously it could ruin my mood when the scale went up but it didn't upset me and I was so happy that I had that confidence in myself! Now, if I don't keep my healthy habits and start eating fast food again and stop moving, I'll definitely see the scale's movements as a bad thing, but as long as I'm keeping it up, it doesn't matter. I AM STRONG! Thanks, @Cchassee for the new daily affirmation
