I'm going on a road trip this weekend. That means more sitting than usual and eating out. I'll need to be very mindful if I don't want to come home with a higher number on the scale.6 -

Thoughts at the start of this challenge:
1. I am down 23.3 pounds from my highest ending weight during these challenges (#5)
2. I am up 2.8 pounds from my lowest ending weight (#9)
3. I am still down 11.8 pounds from the first challenge (#1)
4. I am still ahead of the game and these challenges are working for me. It is up & down and slower than I would like but it’s generally working. I’ve got to continue to dedicate myself and put in the work. When I do, clearly the results are much better.

It will eventually work it’s way off. I have two birthday parties this month (first one day after tomorrow) along with Christmas festivities and lots of baking. More travel for shopping too. That’s what I worry about! I can’t change anything about what is headed my way, but I can change my habits and my attitude towards it all. That is what I’ll be working on. I will also try to make everyday in-between those challenging days really count. There, I said it. Now it’s not just a declaration or a pledge, it’s a promise.
Day 70-12/01-181.4-(Trend weight 181.9) Working it back down. I was hoping for more but it always seems to go on much quicker than it comes off. That seems to be the opposite of gravity, doesn’t it? Humph…..

12/01 - 154.6 - Whoohoo! Very happy to see a solid 154 weigh in today. I'm still dealing with a bit of TOM-related bloat so hopefully a bit more will drop off soon. I'm sore as well, so that may be causing a little water retention in my muscles.Today BF requested that I pick up pizza for lunch for us on the way home from the post (its on the way) so I did. I'll be mindful and eat slowly as to not overeat. Chicken quarters for dinner but no idea sides yet. No workout but the kid got his drivers license transferred which is a big deal. I did my 3 days of running already so I've gotten all my scheduled workouts in anyway. Should be a fairly quiet weekend so I'm hoping I can stick to habits fairly easily.

Previous Day's Comments11/28 - I've dropped 0.5lbs since yesterday which I wasn't expecting. I guess I did a decent job Sunday of re-hydrating enough to start seeing the water weight drop off today versus being delayed as I had thought. I ran 10 minutes yesterday to get back into the groove and monitored my eating based on my body's hunger cues. Today I did some run intervals and have meals planned out other than breakfast (if I need it - I fasted until lunch yesterday so hoping to do the same today). TOM is set to arrive in the next 48 or so hours so I'm not going to be too shocked or upset if I see a slight uptick or maintenance between now and then - I'm mentally prepared for that possibility and know my body will resume it's normal functions very shortly after. I've missed you all and it's really good to be back - now to navigate this holiday season together and with success!
11/29 - Can I tell you how ecstatic I was to see 154 flash for a split second?! I'm still very very happy with seeing this weight, too, don't get me wrong. No TOM so I'm sure I'm still holding on to some bloat/water weight from that, as well. I ran this morning again with the pups, a super slow 20 minutes followed by a 5 minute sprint & strength workout. I'm feeling pretty good about the progress I'm making so soon after Thanksgiving. Last year I snowballed out of control starting in mid-September and didn't catch myself until January. This year, I've got a different mindset and I'm far more focused on my goals - I've already proven to myself I'm in a much healthier place mentally just by how easily I can jump back into my healthier habits. Now I need to keep that mentality going forward and grow my habits to build a better lifestyle overall. It helps that our friend group is shifting as well. We're all discussing a 5k/10k/Half marathon in April (I'm debating attempting the 10k - the other girls are talking a half marathon. BF is considering 5k. Unsure what the other husbands are thinking about it). Us and another couple already signed up for a local 5k trail run in June - StepDaughter wanted to do another 5k race with us so we found one and signed up already! LittleBro also said he'd do it (shocking us all) so that's even better. A whole family affair.
11/30 - The dogs woke me up about 12:45 this morning needing to be let out. Instead of waking up BF with myself and 2 rowdy dogs trying to crawl back in bed, I finished out my night (morning?) on the couch with them instead. That said, I didn't have my scale (in the master bath) to weigh in until after I drank my lemon water, ran, and drank some water to replenish - not an accurate reading at all so I skipped it entirely. Oh well. I ate a little over yesterday as I forgot to log my lunch side until after I had eaten dinner. Oops. TOM finally showed up so I'm looking forward to what the scale shows tomorrow and if I dropped any more water weight/bloat. Baked pork chops with some sides tonight (unsure sides at this point). Chicken gnocchi soup for lunch. Had 2 hard boiled eggs for breakfast as I started getting shaky after fasting until 1030. Feeling pretty good despite the work stress/deadlines going on late yesterday through today. At least I'm off tomorrow and can relax a bit

I'm late, I'm late....I broke the tip of my charger cord off in my iPad and can't get it out. I even took it to the Geek Squad. No go. What a pain. On a happier note, my new pupper Charlie passed his Canine Good Citizen test this morning. He had no training at all when we got him 8 weeks ago. He's doing great! And of course I have to share another pic of him. :-)

I'm forgetting to check in without my iPad. But happily it's at an indie computer place getting a new port. I don't realize how much I use the silly thing until I can't.

@SheilaBoneham Perhaps make a day of it (going to the Apple Store) and enjoy a nice healthy meal when you are in the “big city?” It’s about an hour’s drive to any Apple Store in Las Vegas. I hate driving across town.
We ARE the big city around here -- 270K. The closest Apple store is actually in a much smaller (50K) town two hours away. Go figure. Or Indianapolis, 2+ hours. I have no idea why we don't have an Apple store here. Anyay, my gadget is getting repaired by an Indie, so all ok.5 -

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.
12/1 - 215.6 - no exercise - Back to work. My feet and knees are killing me. I did soak my feet because it just feels so nice right after work, but I fooled around too long between filling the tub and putting my feet in so the hot water only lasted a short time and had cooled some already. Oh well.

Seeing as I’m back for another round I should introduce myself.I’m 45 years old and a tiny 5ft 2 inches. I’ve been married to my DH for 19 years and next year is our 20th anniversary. DH and I are parents to 2 DD who are in their late teens. I’ve made a commitment to get myself in check before I’m 50
I’ve been battling illness this week and dragging myself into work. I’ve lost my voice and I’m full of the cold but just keeping going. Managing to log all my food but no exercise at all in this round. Most days I’ve been over my Kcal goal but I’m taking the nw victory that I’m logging everything truthfully.

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 243 (my 173rd). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, as always, so grateful.
Goals for this round to get into 137s, hopefully lose a pound and keep heart rate under 50 beats a minute, then longer term goal to get back to 135 in time for Christmas (just over 4 weeks!).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 taken me 75 rounds to achieve target of 130 = back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

12/2 Yesterday: ✅ 3450 cal & macros, 2.1k🚶♀️, 👉🏻ZERO everything else. Nothing to track.
Not a great day yesterday, but I’m not going to fret. I nursed my foot yesterday, so still no activity. Today I will try and 🏋️♀️ and Exercises that don’t involve weight on my left foot.
I didn’t log my exact foods from Party… I just recorded a guess of 2500 cal… Could be more, could be less but that’s what I guessed.
Party last night: ✅one cocktail, ✅small portions of appetizer, veal and veggie, but…. 🚫 I couldn’t say NO TO DESSERT! Sugars busted me last night and I feel like 💩 this morning. So I give myself a D. Didn’t totally flunk, but I truly did not plan on eating dessert and I did. So I broke my promise to ME.
Forgiven! MOVE ON. I’ll get back on my plan today. Was it worth it? NO! I will remember this feeling for the next temptation.

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.
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… 😃!
Really enjoyed interacting on the group 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: 5 of 7 have not/are not choosing health. I do receive passive-aggressive grief from the crew…Some of you have mentioned this before… (The efforts to sabotage, judgments, lack of support, eye-rolling, etc.) And I will definitely experience it tonight!👀 I am prepared. My mom always said… “Kill’em with kindness!”

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!!!!

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.
I'm confident in my pants and now I am adding a mini goal to read on my stationary bike at least 30 minutes for at least 3/10 days.
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!
12/1 macros ✔️ ST ✔️
12/2 macros ✔️ bike goal not met even though I could see it while I read on the couch. Trying again tonight.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
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

11/28. 132.5 Fasting today, I hope. Up before 4:30AM - UGH! Ate at Art Quilt potluck, had a glass of wine after I got home and enjoyed my half pita and 1 ounce of melitzanosalata. Nothing but water and coffee since about 6 last night. We’ll see what today brings.
11/29 132.0 My intended fast didn’t last. My stomach was growling, REALLY growling by 11. At least I didn’t go crazy. I’m good with that. Today I have a nail appointment and a dermatology appointment. Should have some time to kill between so will walk in a store probably. Tonight is community Bingo with pizza for dinner. I think I’ll pick up a salad for myself and try to avoid pizza crust.
11/30 133.0 at 4:30AM! Dinner at Bingo was fried chicken. I will attempt fasting since DH is taking friend to lunch. I have a quart of homemade chicken broth in the fridge.
12/1 131.5 DH’s lunch was cancelled yesterday. I did a “modified fast.”
12/2 133.0 Ran errands Nothing sounded good for dinner so we just started driving and went to Jimmy John’s. Unfortunately I got salt and vinegar chips. BOY! They were delish!
⭐️⭐️Starting today I am getting back to exercising and eating8 -

I'm late, I'm late....I broke the tip of my charger cord off in my iPad and can't get it out. I even took it to the Geek Squad. No go. What a pain. On a happier note, my new pupper Charlie passed his Canine Good Citizen test this morning. He had no training at all when we got him 8 weeks ago. He's doing great! And of course I have to share another pic of him. :-)

I'm forgetting to check in without my iPad. But happily it's at an indie computer place getting a new port. I don't realize how much I use the silly thing until I can't.

Off to an annual women's holiday art fair this morning with a friend. Always a fun event and I always find a treasure or three. Happy Saturday!

Back for 10 more days of losing at a snail's pace 🐌, trying to be healthy
Round 1 sw= 175.6 ew=174.8
Round 2 sw= 175.4 ew= 173.2
Round 3 sw= 172.6
Goal = 164.5 = bmi 24.999
11/28 = 172.6 tw 174.5 ate well, slept well, didn't walk
11/29 = 171.4 tw 174.1 slept well, walked, ate--(hangs her head in shame and slinks into the corner)
11/30 = 172.4 tw 173.9 slept well, shorter walk, had to rest on the way home. Didn't eat as well as I should have, but much better than the day before. Trying to get back on track. Oops! I mean getting back on track.
12/1 = 172.0 tw 173.6 slept well, shorter walk. Food was best of choices available. Good day.
12/2 = 173.6 tw 173.6 what the heck? Slept well, shorter walk. Under calories, mostly fruit & veg, needed protein. Slightly stressful day. Bought some new jeans. Don't really like them, but cheap & temporary, so it's OK.
