Now, when I complete my diary, its telling me in 5 weeks I'll weigh 8,442.3lbs if I consume 1160 calories every day. Smh. And yet they keep promoting GO PREMIUM.

12/03 -182.0- (Trend weight 181.9) The birthday party went nicely at the bowling alley. Pizza, cake and ice cream have shown up on the scale this morning. NSV= My son wanted to take home a burger meal for dinner later from a nearby restaurant which would be something we can’t get in our town. I ordered nothing for me for to take home. I ate a turkey sandwich on low carb bread later when I got hungry. Baby steps. On another note, I found out my older friend (78) fell during her family Christmas party and was rushed to the hospital yesterday. After a transport to a 2nd hospital with surgeons, she will have to have surgery. I will find out more later. Let’s get healthy and stay healthy, my friends. Our bodies are going to need us!
12/04 -181.0- (Trend weight 181.8) I am so incredibly sick right now. But it’s not affecting my stomach so I am still having to be very careful of what I eat. I’m trying hard not to eat comfort foods (which are all primarily bad carbs) because I feel sorry for myself. My chest is so full of phlegm. I can barely get off the couch. Yesterday I got a total of 911 steps and did not hit my 250 steps in any hour of the 13 rings. If December catches me, it’s going to swallow me whole. Trying to stay ahead of it but it’s so hard when I’m feeling this weak. It’s the Last Thing I Needed In The Month Of December. I can watch what I eat but I can’t burn anything off so it’s all in but nothing out in the form of expenditure.

About me--5'7", 41 y.o. woman
HW: 327 (2010)
HW on MFP: 301
SW this round: 265.6
GW1: 262 (HealthyWage target for 2/2/24--almost there! Let's see if I can keep it off till February)
GW2: 240
UGW: 18512/4: 265.6. Ok now. I am craving carbs, carbs, carbs. Tried to eat a salad last night and ended up snacking all night anyway. At least i got some vegetables, and I did the errands I planned to do. More mushrooming yesterday. It's so cool seeing the different kinds that pop up with differences in weather 🍄Mycology and geology make going outdoors so much more fun! It's like a big treasure hunt.
11/28: 265.6. Feeling rough this morning. Didn't sleep well at all and sick stomach. Yesterday was stressful and my guts always seem to have their say when my nervous system is being rude. I'll be happy if i can achieve C-grade work today. I really just want to flop over and go back to bed, but I'm getting this coffee down so i can at least try.
11/29: 265.4. Not super hungry today until after work which was fine with me
Went to bed early last night and slept straight through until the cat's breakfast time. Had more energy today (funny how that works!) so went for a walk on my break.
11/30: 264.6. Strategizing the holiday eating--got my first potluck invitation so i guess it's time to start planning. I ordered some barbecue from a place back home on Goldbelly for Xmas dinner--I'm digging the idea of just making dessert rather than a whole day or more of cooking. We have been missing our old barbecue joint badly so this is a good time for it (unfortunately every place we've been recommended since we moved has not hit the spot). It will also be easier to weigh and log, which is a bonus. It's so expensive for what we're getting (like a 3x markup from buying at the restaurant! Jeez) and crazy to think what used to be a quick dinner I would grab on the way home at least once a week is now just for very special occasions. That's probably best, though--it's not health food by any means 😂
12/1: DNW or log apparently
12/2: 264.4. Good day running around looking for Xmas chocolates and hunting mushrooms in the rain. Feeling tired but good tired. Lots of running around to do tomorrow again so I'm going to try to get to sleep early (we'll see).
12/3: 265.2. Probably up today from water retention. I think we have been eating too much takeout. I did not, in fact, go to bed early, and actually later than Friday night because i thought of several Xmas presents I needed to buy online before i forgot. However I am almost done shopping for my kid now 🎁🎄It's dark and rainy today and i feel like getting back in bed, but I have my coffee going and a list of things to do, so i will get moving. In a minute. Or two. Ok, five 😁

I'm joining WAY-late:
- I have my 3rd round of interview for a great job that I'm so excited about. I want to de-bloat ~2# so that I fit into my suit better and face is a bit less puffy.
Thanks for your support!
I need to stay focused.
Going forward, I need to stick with this, so that I don't continue my yoyo-ing of 5-10#.
Being so short, 10# means next size clothes.

Hi! I'd like to join in this round. I've found a bunch of motivation following along the threads, so I thought I'd try joining in. I may not post/weigh daily, we'll see how this goes!

More mushrooming yesterday. It's so cool seeing the different kinds that pop up with differences in weather 🍄Mycology and geology make going outdoors so much more fun! It's like a big treasure hunt.
Oooh fun. What goodies did you find?
What season is it there for you? It's past season for me.

Not sure how I failed to post yesterday. I was oddly emotional when I read that some people consider a lingering hummingbird a sign that the spirit of a loved one is near. Yesterday was my mom’s 111 birthday
although she is celebrating in heaven for the last 30 years.
12/4 132.0 It was a good day. Great Greek side salad and 1 beef skewer. 1 skewer of beef “leftover”
I the UK we say the same about robins, when you see one of the cheeky little red breasted birds then a loved absent one is near xx

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.

Day, Weight, Comment
SW RND 243
11/28 138.6 – wet miserable day only 4 miles walked, all but 10 exercise calories eaten back.
11/29 137.6 – lunch out with DS’s x 3 plus a couple of friends too, we all tried to eat healthy, and we did get 4 miles walking in, I was not hungry at tea time so just had an apple and a coffee, but still ate all exercise calories + back.
11/30 137.6 – 9.87 miles walked, no exercise calories eaten back.
12/1 138.2 – no structured walking as childminding little DGS, over on calories.
12/2 138.2 – 11.13 miles walked, 45% exercise calories eaten back.
12/3 138.2 – stepped out the door to do 8 mile walk, only made it half way to end of our cu-de-sac as it was dangerously icy & slippery under foot, not wanting to risk a fall and maybe a broken bone, we very quickly abandoned that idea so no structured walking!! ☹ Headed 87 miles up north to DS & family, we had tickets to watch DGD (aged 5) dance school’s show – amazing!! Stayed over at their house.
12/4 139.2 - Lots more snow fell during the night – a winter wonderland ! Watched 2 little DGDs at their rock-climbing session (luckily indoors), went to a Christmas tree festival at the church with crooked spire (Chesterfield), then travelled home, again no structured walking, hence calories over ☹ again ! Today is forecast to be persistent heavy rain, so will not be able to get out again; must restrict calories to get back to where I was.
12/5 138.4 – another dirty washout of a wet day so again no structured walking ☹. Hence all calories plus 200 eaten.

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
Still off work with laryngitis and feeling pretty sorry for myself. My eating has not been great but still logging everything I eat. That’s a major victory for me. I know before this challenge I would just not have logged what I ate and ignored eating over my calories for the day. It’s enlightening because even though I’m over it’s not by as much as I thought. Not small enough over to lose but a win is a win 🥇 ☺️

——————————
12/5 Yesterday: ✅ 1503 cal & macros, (becoming more keto vs ketovore- my last several days more protein needed.) Yesterday I planned on taking a tennis clinic in the evening, so I didn’t work out during the day… Then it was canceled. No 🚶♀️no 🏋️♀️. Disappointed with no activity.
Will make it happen today!

& Health Journey
**********************
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!”
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.
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.
12/3 Yesterday: ✅ 1272 cal & macros, 3.6k🚶♀️, Got in 40-45 min of light calisthenics, basketball, and walking with my DGS… But I did not measure it. Negligible activity.
Good news: Decided to get a spontaneous “InBody” and I GAINED 1.3lbs SMM (Muscle mass) and LOST 3.0lbs of FAT.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Woo-hoo! 🙌🏻 But… water retention was up so I’m assuming that was from the party …… Told to 👆🏻up my calorie intake to 1440 because I’m not eating enough…. That’s something I’m not used to hearing!
Yes, very positive but I’m also let down 🤨 that I kicked my body out of ketosis — will now take me 3+++ days to return. I was thinking just how UNSTOPPABLE I would have FELT if I would’ve avoided the carbs Friday night… I must remember this feeling…
My foot is almost 100%. If weather allows, I’ll get in steps & will enjoy full Calisthenics and 🏋️♀️. I’ll figure out how to get it done. Need me some 🌞☀️!
BIG DEAL NSV- I’ve decided to pass on a few holiday parties. I have new priorities. Not going this weekend. Cutting it down to people I LOVE. WHAT A FREAKING WIN!
💪🏻 LETS GO!!!!
12/4 Yesterday: ✅ 1580* cal & macros, 🚶♀️11.2k, 193 ex min includes 75 min 💓Z2, ✅Calisthenics and 🏋️♀️, 🔥1178 total ex cal.
*Advised to eat more/replenish cuz of today’s workout. 🔥
NSV — I took a different approach to my “workout” yesterday. I spent 60+ min on the 🎾court, plus 30+ min of calisthenics / ST at my health club’s basketball court. I had actually never been to the indoor 🏀 ct / gym even though I’ve been a member for 12+ years. I spied TRX bands, weights, kettlebells, heavy balls, balance balls, etc in the CORNER…! While the weight room was busy, the gym was empty. So for 30min the gym became my own personal playground! I simply NEVER would have explored/ventured there without @quiltingjaine ‘s nudge. THANK YOU!! I now feel I can do this🤸🏼🏋️♀️on a regular basis. And guess what?! IT WAS FUN! I felt like I was playing “pirate” & ended up with my personal treasure island. Big score. Definitely planning on ST there often.
👍🏻 on ⬆️cals, macros & 💦. Walked to the grocery store in the afternoon to cap off the day. My foot is ✅.
Today: ready to explore.✨

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. must. find. a. routine!

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.

I'm jumping in mid round, because I fell off the wagon hard the last few days. I need to pull myself together and hold myself accountable. I've played around here the last couple rounds, but need to be more consistent. The good, the bad and the ugly.
I'm Julie. 35 years old. Married. SAHM to two year old twins. From Arizona.
SW: 139.8
12/4: 139.8. Had McDonald's AND a blizzard from Dairy Queen. I went way over on my calories. On the plus side, I ran 6 miles (6.2 miles in 61 minutes. Trying to get 10k time under 60 minutes. Very happy with the progress of this run). I'm feeling a bit guilty about the choices I made over the weekend. I'm going to give OMAD a real shot this week and see if it's right for me.
12/5: 138.0. I stuck with OMAD yesterday. I'm a little on the hungry side, so I need to keep tweaking it to see if I can find a macro split that helps keep me from getting hungry. I like the idea of just eating once a day and then forgetting about food the rest of the day. It's just not quite working right now. I'm giving it the week though to figure it out. I ran 3 miles last night.9 -
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. Posted my "before" picture this afternoon. Weighing every day for my own motivation. I am always rounding up to the next pound. No more decimals.

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.
I need to remember: Enjoy the process. Don't fixate on the outcome.
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.
12/3 macros ✔️
12/4 macros ✔️
12/5 macros ✔️ ST ✔️ bike ✔️ (finally)
