Obedience Training Club 🐾🐶🍰🥧🐩 Holiday Party tonight. There’s always an embarrassment of food at these, and I’ve been thinking strategy. If I eat very little during the day and go hungry, knowing my calories are low, I’ll have “permission” to eat more. So I’ve decided to eat a responsible lunch, then have small to sensible portions and not double up on things (I don’t need to sample two cheesy potatoes and a Mac & cheese!), and focus on the nearly naked salads & veggies. And I’ll get “mouthful” servings of the 3 best-looking desserts and leave it there. Shouldn’t cause too much damage. I get to wear my new Christmas sweater—can’t remember if I showed it to you when I finished it, so here it is (possibly again 😊). Sorry it’s so big — there doesn’t seem to be a way to change that anymore.
@Sheilaboneham What a gorgeous sweater! You are so multi-talented!6 -

12/11 -178.8- (Trend weight 180.6)
12/12 -178.2- (Trend weight 180.3) I shed so much water yesterday and throughout the night that I wouldn’t be surprised if I am dehydrated. I guess the old ticker finally decided to push it all through. So I’ve had very little sleep last night and the scale is probably falsely down and may show an uptick tomorrow because today will be water, water, water. I am beginning a Christmas wrapping marathon today if all goes well and my water bottle will be near me at all times. I am somewhat better with the respiratory illness, but still not 100%. Definitely dizzy still and coughing. I was too afraid to try to walking video yesterday, afterall. Maybe today?
12/13 -178.8- (Trend weight 180.2) I expected an uptick today since I was so dehydrated yesterday but…. Whoa Nelly! It was a good day yesterday. Diet was on point although I had a difficult time fitting all my calories in (and macros too). I think I simply started eating too late in the day and ended up not fitting in all my pre-logged food. I was smack dab in the middle of a wrapping marathon and was determined to get a lot of it done. Still so much more to go but I’m happy with what I accomplished. I did manage to fit in a bit of exercise too. I’ll mark the day up to success, even if the scale disagreed. I have a stingy Grinch scale I think.

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. And, I think it's working.
I need to remember: Enjoy the process. Don't fixate on the outcome. I'm planning on taking a December 31st progress pic of my pants to keep me focused this month and not backslide. I don't need to care what I weigh as long as they still fit and hopefully they'll fit even better.

Beautiful sweater! My first time to see it.
I started knitting sweaters for my 2 year old twin nephews one time. The first one came out too big for any adult I knew. I still knit--afghans, nothing fitted.5 -

ST ✔️ wore my goal pants to work yesterday. It felt good knowing that 4 months ago I couldn't have worn them and instead of choosing a bowl of broccoli cheddar soup at lunch, an old favorite comfort option, I chose a half veggie sandwich and salad. And we usually online order and someone drives to pick up but this time we walked to pick up our online order. I don't know if just me feeling better about things in general, but work culture feels stronger and more friendly, supportive, and closer with each other lately. I'm so fortunate to be surrounded by good people and I'm learning we have more in common than I thought. Edit: meant to post this comment this morning. Still wanted to share.

12/13 - 154.5 - It's very nice to see that I'm down despite my normal eating (which, finding out, is very very high carb). Today is back to low carb. With everything logged through dinner, I'm right at 30g net carbs for the day. Today was much much easier as I'm learning and finding what works and what doesn't and had a plan for lunch and dinner in place. I've already started planning next week's meals (lunch and dinner at least) to ensure we're sticking to goals (right now 50g net max with goal to drop to 30g net max). Despite the drizzling rain, BF and I both ran this morning. Tomorrow is rest day with walks for us both. Rain again Friday but its a run day for us both. I bought a rain jacket for running (hopefully won't overheat me too bad but keep me dry) and it says it'll arrive tomorrow - perfect! It wasn't very fun this morning - the drizzle got me soaked after 25 minutes out there in it! I'd rather not do that again haha

12/11 - We arrived home Saturday night, late. I weighed in yesterday lower than expected but believe that has to do with being quite dehydrated. Between salt last night in dinner and working on pushing fluids, I'm very much up today. It's okay, it'll drop off here soon. BF and I both woke up and ran this morning to get back into the grove of things. We both know if we procrastinate, it'll never happen. Meals planned for the week as well, since I had to get groceries yesterday for the week. I've missed you all and I'm glad to be back
12/12 - This feels much better. It's not ideal, but given the circumstances over the past month, I'll take it. Death comes in 3's - my "grandpa" (mom's dad - he disowned me, but he's still family), my dog, and my real grandpa (dad's dad) who helped raise me since he was disabled retired by the time I was born. Hopefully that's it for a good long while and I can get back to being focused and enjoying the ones I love while we're all still alive. The good thing is that BF and I are closer than ever after this and my parents seemed to have a really good impact on him - my dad's health issues and how he's overcome them have inspired BF to make some changes. We are doing low carb every other day like my parents do - it's helped my dad's diabetes and he's lost 40lbs already. My mom and dad both have way more energy and honestly look so much better. Yesterday was our first low carb day - it was a borderline disaster since I didn't have but a few hours to plan meals for the week and buy the groceries. We both managed to hit just under 30g net carbs for the day but we were hungry through the day without having much to snack on between meals that weren't our usual high-carb options. I have a better plan for lunches Wednesday and Friday this week (the low carb days) which will hopefully help avoid the need for snacking. We are both sticking under 50grams/day on those days to give us a little wiggle room while we learn. Mom and dad started at 50g while they learned/adjusted and slowly lowered so that they now aim for 30g max net carbs/day on their low carb days. They also managed to significantly reduce their portion sizes to something much healthier and more realistic - another thing BF and I said we needed to focus on. I walked Smoke this morning while BF ran with Harley. Tomorrow is a run/strength day for me and I'm sure BF will be up and moving in some fashion again with me.

@_JeffreyD_ Ya, I "invited" Ben and Jerry over for dinner last night...... Trying to hang on until the New Year when I will snowbird in the Keys and have consistent "me" time to reset.
@CamandJarvis Sorry about your dad's dad and dog. I never understand "disowning". So sorry. I do find your concept of low carb every other day intriguing. Since I will be helping DH to get back on track, that might be a suggestion that could work for him. Maybe? he could never do low carb every day. He just won't. There would have to be a medical reason to force him into that.
My dad and BF are the same - but dad has a medical reason (diabetes) and BF is starting to have medical issues that can likely be turned around by fixing diet. Dad inspired BF. Win!
My mom said she started them off on 50g net carbs on "low carb days" and then eat as one would normally every other day. They've slowly lowered that number to 30g net carbs on those days after allowing them to adjust and learn more.
At first the normal days would be a festival of stuffing face with all the things you missed on the low carb day but within a couple weeks they naturally found balance between the two days. Now if they crave something on a low carb day, they take note and mindfully plan it on a normal eating day in moderation. It's not a 'no, you can't have this' it's more a 'you can't have this right now, but you can enjoy it tomorrow' which also really helps keep the normal day eating balanced (after some trial and error, of course)
Pinterest has been absolutely key to knocking today out of the park. With dinner already logged (we pre-planned) and lunch done (I'm stuffed full!) I'm at 30g net carbs for the day! The hardest part is planning and being prepared - I wasn't fully prepared for Monday so it was rough but today is so much better. Even BF is complaining less today. Whew.6 -

12/13 219.0 Not even getting excited. Today makes 5 days working out with weights and 30+ minutes of bike and/or treadmill.

@Sheilaboneham ~ you knitted that sweater! Amazing and beautiful. How long did it take?
@deepwoodslady ~ Sounds like a successful day to me! Sometimes we just need to ignore scale and concentrate on how we feel!
@psychethelover~ Congrats on the 20lb gone! Slow and steady wins the race! You must be proud!
@potasha ~ awesome non scale victory....wearing goal pants, making excellent food choices and even walking to get said food! Great Job8 -
@itladyee Thank you! The sweater took about 3 weeks, I think. I didn’t keep close track.5

Beautiful sweater! My first time to see it.
I started knitting sweaters for my 2 year old twin nephews one time. The first one came out too big for any adult I knew. I still knit--afghans, nothing fitted.
@Corina1143 That gave me a chuckle! I’m knew to sweaters—this is my third—and I think checking gauge and measurements are key to sizing. I’m getting kind of hooked on them! Plus I don’t run into my twin anywhere. :-) Give it another try—there are lots of easy patterns out there, and Tin Can Knits has a great “recipe” for sweaters. It’s for fair isles, but has a lot of info about measuring for proper fit.5 -
Thanks, @deepwoodslady! Not talent so much as desire and stubbornness. 🤪3

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 244 (my 174th. Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, as always, so grateful.
Goals for this round to, hopefully lose a pound, get resting heart rate back under 50 beats a minute, then longer term goal to keep under 140 for holiday abroad (28 days!).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.

SW RND 244
12/8 139.8 – another wet day, got soaked twice, fetching older DGS from school and then taking him to football practice and waiting 20 mins for DD to arrive and take over, stupid thing is I have a pair of waterproof trousers for walking, will get them out of caravan for next wet Thursday. Childminded younger little DGS.
12/9 DNW - away in our caravan for the club Christmas party, a full all the trimmings 3 course meal tonight, going to eat moderately all day and try to watch my portions tonight. 8.62 miles walked yesterday ⅔ exercise calories eaten back.
12/10 DNW - managed 5.39 miles yesterday around the rain and high winds, really enjoyed my Christmas meal, but didn't sleep too well last night as my stomach felt uncomfortable full!!
12/11 139.8 – no structured walking due to a combination of persistent rain & travelling back home. Caught up on washing, ironing & did some more Christmas pressie wrapping. Back on track today before the next round of celebrations!!

Goals- stay sober, stick to a fasting schedule (time frame not mentioned for fear of ED triggers)
Today was good! Stuck to fasting schedule, still sober, and, as I write this, working out at 7 PM on a Friday 😂
12/8 - weight 283.8
12/9- weight 279.8
Today was okay! I stayed sober, I had a gym date with my boyfriend, and I stayed in my fasting window. My boyfriend really wanted a specific restaurant for dinner, and because of my allergies, chicken shawarma was about the only thing I could do, so I got the meat with a salad and some hummus. Came in under my calories for the day, and I'm feeling good.
12/10- weight 279.6. had a good Lazy Sunday with my boyfriend (though we did manage to get some work done around the house first). I just finished a workout and have stuck to my fasting window well! I'm debating extending it because I'm still feeling good and I'm not terribly hungry. I'm trying to be smart, though, and not overexert myself fairly early on. I'll probably make some scrambled eggs or something just for the sake of not pushing too too hard right now.
12/11- 276.2
I did end up eating last night and also didn't stick to my fasting window today. I also tried to go to the gym today, but my heart issues interrupted that. Everything else I may have fallen short on today, but at least I'm still sober! That marks 10 days, the longest I've been sober in almost two years. I also got a good job offer today, which is a huge relief. I'm eating like *kitten* today and not crushing my workouts, but I'm at least employed and sober. I'll call that progress.
12/12- 279.2
Not surprising. I ate terribly yesterday (lots of sugar and sodium) and also couldn't finish out the gym. I also woke up with a cold and ate some comfort food, failing the gym again today, so I have to assume tomorrow will be an additional pound or so.
12/13- 279.8
My whole body aches horrifically. My head is pounding. I don't even care about my weight right now because I just want to sleep 😭

GW2: 240 by 8/1/24
UGW: 18512/8: 265ish. Had to rush out this morning and forgot to weigh so that's what i weighed yesterday. Lunch will be a protein bar and an apple so tonight might be another whole bag of salad and chicken for dinner. Again, could be worse things.
12/9: 263.6! Almost to the 250s, land of nearly not-uncomfortable plane seats. On certain airlines 😂 Sneaky Xmas shopping today under the guise of grocery shopping.
12/10: 263.4. Hubby made a delicious chicken stir fry with gochujang last night. I could drink gochujang in a shotglass. The kind i bought was pretty low in calories so that might be a possibility. I'm thinking about everything else i could put it on--maybe make beef jerky with it in the Ninja Foodi?
12/11: Holiday party 🍪🥧🥖🧀⛄️🎄 262.8 this morning. Last night I got a wild chocolate craving and finished an entire chocolate bar (supposed to be 3 servings in a bar). It wasn't even a desire to taste chocolate; it was like my chocolate levels were low, like iron or vitamin c, and instead of anemia or scurvy i was in danger of getting whatever you get when your body doesn't have enough chocolate molecules. I guess i better start putting cocoa powder into some capsules and taking two with my breakfast like I do all my other meds 🙃 On another subject, i have figured out a new boundary for myself. Normally for these holiday parties I push myself to outdo last year's effort and make something that people will get people talking. Making food has always been something that I have done well and where i find validation when i am not feeling great in other arenas. It's also kind of my time to shine; for some background, in my professional life I have a raging case of impostor syndrome even though I am a senior member of my staff, and my social life is limited due to various factors, so when a "food event" comes up this is where I feel like I am able to thrive. This was the case with family growing up as well. However. Due to several events over the past year, I decided that not everyone gets my best efforts this year for Xmas. Rather than bringing a side dish and a dessert, I'm bringing chips and dip. I'll still make the dip myself, but they gets none of my casseroles or cakes this year. Which, to be honest--and this sounds pretentious but i am confident enough to be able to say this--this is kind of an act of revenge on some of the people in this group, because I know they're expecting something over the top from me. Tl;dr: I have decided not to overextend myself for people who do not do the same for me/do not take my feelings into consideration (this is related to food because, at least for this party, I am not being driven to make food decisions based on emotional ties to food. Merry Xmas to me 🎄🎉🎁).
12/12: 262.2. Very exciting! This is the goal weight i need to be at the beginning of February to win my Healthy Wage pot. I'm going to keep working at it because I know the holidays are going to have the scale up and down over the next few weeks.
12/13: 264.2, and that makes sense because i feel so incredibly bloated today, like the little girl that turned into a blueberry in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory kind. I haven't even been eating at maintenance as far as calories go so i know it's not fat gain.
I'm tired and cranky like a toddler today so I'm going to be nice and go to bed early--if i could sleep for 12 hours straight i would be soooo happy 🥹

RND 244 - My 1st RND
Whatever you are not changing, you are choosing. Read that again!
F, 67, 5’4"
HW-234
UGW-149 - Estimated 07/25/2025
12/8~ Day 1 - Starting Wt. 230 ~ Day 1 is always easy. (I've had a lot of them.) Day 10; now that will be the challenge.
~ I started a new healthy eating plan today, increasing protein to satisfy my appetite. Logging food and exercise for accountability. I'm six weeks out after my 2nd knee replacement. I have a mini-goal to be a size 14 (now size 22) by our 50th anniversary Oct '24.
12/9 ~ Day 2 – 231 ~ Okay so I did 'almost' everything wrong today.
~ The good - I did do 20 min of exercise upon waking, and I walked 1/2 mile around the grocery store.
The imperfect- I didn't eat breakfast, ate fast food for lunch, and didn't reach my Protein goals.
The great! Tomorrow is another chance to prove to myself I can do this!
My favorite quote: Whatever you are not changing, You are choosing. Read That Again!
12/10~ Day 3 - 230 ~ Todays word is Consistency
~ Today was a milestone in my knee recovery. I walked my first full mile around the neighborhood. It was difficult and painful, (we live on a hill with 5% to 16% grades), I'm sure I'll feel it tomorrow. 1.16 miles in 38 minutes. I also logged every morsel that went into my mouth and met my protein goal with extra calories in the bank. Yes!!!
12/11~ Day 4 - 229 ~ What the heck?
~ Today was a struggle with food, ugh! I woke up late, had a cup of coffee and didn't think about food until 2p when I couldn't find anything that sounded good. So brilliant choice (not) I scarfed down two hot dogs with buns. Didn't enjoy it when I ate it and 3 hours later was still wondering why. So, started logging my food and realized I was not going to meet my protein needs. I ended up eating yogurt with extra protein for dinner and peanut butter on an English muffin for a snack and I actually saved the day. Wow.
12/1~ Day 5 -227.8 ~ 'Cup of Joe'
~ What to say about today. My 1st day back to work after 6 weeks medical for the knee. I work at home on a computer all day and didn't think it would be difficult to jump back in. What I found; sitting in an office chair for nine hours is hard. I had to set a timer to get up and climb a flight of stairs every hour or my knee would lock up. Mental work is exhausting. I struggle with eating well and getting enough water. Using a 'cup of joe' to stay alert is not a good idea. And I need to find a way to fit in more exercise.
12/13~ Day 6 - 223.5 ~ PNW winter blahs
~I stepped on the scale this morning and freaked! I'm pretty sure it's an error, so I reweighed and got the same number. I enjoyed the 'high' all day and was spurred on to log food and pay attention to food quality vs quantity.
Secretly, I'm thinking my scale needs new batteries so I'm changing them tonight and we'll see what the morning brings. Work was painful, with cramping muscles and ankle edema, no stair climbing today (That was a mistake I need to correct). I did my basic exercise but nothing extra. Raining, windy, and cold out, "Oregon Coast winter blahs", a walk doesn't sound appealing. Hopefully, it will be dry and sunny this weekend. Tomorrow will be better!

/logged it all; walked/
The damage from the Christmas open house last night should be minimal. I was able to engage with people more than the buffet. My overall calorie budget for the day was just barely broken, but the sodium budget was shattered.
After that I attended my DGS Christmas program at school. Did I mention that I also have a new DGD, born 17 days ago?
I have an upcoming beach vacation. I need to lose some inches around the waist so people will not try to roll me back into the ocean to save my life. That’s annoying 😊
12/9: 223.8
/yes, every bite; group fitness class/
I consider it a victory that my scale reading stayed level after that salted-calorie-festival of a diet yesterday. All I can say is, it would have been worse had it not been for food logging on the MFP app.
Thanks to those who had kind words about my return. I have been participating in this challenge off and on since 2019, with great results when I pay attention.
12/10: 225.8
/food logged; walked/
This jump up has to be water retention from sodium. (Combined with some catch-up from Friday.) My calorie count has been good.
12/11: 225.4
/logged; a few floor exercises…/
Mostly sitting yesterday. Church, football on television (for my European friends, I don’t mean soccer.)
Oh, and TMI is real.
12/12: 224.2
/yes; yes. Group exercise/
Been having trouble sleeping through the night. I basically just get up at 4:00AM after tossing and turning for an hour. I don’t drink caffeine after lunch. I wonder if I should just kick caffeine altogether, but I do love my morning cup of Joe. I need to switch it up somehow.
12/13: 224
/yes, but way over; no/
Yesterday was so busy I didn’t even think about exercise.
That was a lie.
The truth is, exercise is such an anomaly in my life lately that I didn’t even think about exercise.
The truth is, I was busy shoving high carbs into my cake hole all day. I invited and logged 193 of those bad boys yesterday. Key word: invited.
No hugs please. I wish there was a “slap” button you could use. 😊
12/7: 223.2
Starting weight at end of last round.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.10 -
My third round! Still excited and seeing some early results! *Note to self: over the past twenty years you have ably demonstrated that you know absolutely nothing about weight loss or exercise other than you need to do both. Don't convince yourself that you know ANYTHING, having lost a pound or two. Read other peoples struggles and successes. Glean what you can! LISTEN! Be patient! Nothing changes if nothing changes. I can't change unless I am willing to do things completely foreign to me. Do'em anyway!

*When I skip a meal for whatever reason, I put myself in a bad situation. Around the holidays
all sorts of crap food is left out on the staff lunch table. Deadly combo for me. Just for me: I
gotta start training myself to see Carbs as rat poison, just for me!

*When motivation runs low, and it will, I'd better have a routine established. Big Mo is great, but
routine is a better friend to me.

I just downloaded the weight entries into MFP since I started in 2011 up until today. It is both encouraging and discouraging. Encouraging because I have some good numbers in there, discouraging because “why am I where I am today?”
First entry: 235 - 12/2011
Lowest: 201.8 – 10/2019
Highest: 244.8 - 09/2014
Latest: 223.8 – 12/2023
Average of all 1750 entries: 215.2
I don’t want to get paralysis of analysis here. Just looking back to help me find my way forward. Overall inspiring because I know I can and will do better than I am right now.

@_JeffreyD_
I think looking back on MFP is a great exercise… Well worthwhile. Can give you great incentive and confidence. Everyone is different… Overanalysis for some but not enough for others. You do you! 💪🏻🙌🏻 (I’m an over-analysis person, because analytics is part of my training… Its key to my journey! Others can wing it, and I respect that tremendously! I wasn’t so blessed….
@sheilaboneham
So much talent! Beautiful sweater!
@potasha
👖NSV!!!! Big Congrats! Wearing them to work is a BIG DEAL! A huge confidence booster…. I bet you had a huge pep in your step walking to pick up lunch! 🙌🏻For the WIN!
@CamandJarvis Experimenting with carbs is the way to go! Good for you and your family…. !
@itlaydee Congrats on a five-day workout streak! Huge momentum…. Keep it up! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

12/14 ⚖️ 130.2 lbs
Yesterday: ✅macros & 1536 cal, 30 ex min including 18min 💗Z2. 🔥300 total cal. 🚶♀️4.2k.
Another day of distractions, which are monopolizing my time and taking away my exercise/workout time. This is out of the ordinary, and will be over by mid-next week…. Special project fell in my lap…. Lots of decisions to make. All good. Actually, very good (Except for taking care of physical activity goals yesterday!). Dinner was enjoyable last night - went over just a fraction in carbs. Still barely in ketosis. Pleased to record everything!
NSV: Will power is strong. Keeping mindful of long-term benefits vs perceived short-term pleasure. Clothes continue to fit better or just too big.
NSV: I’m still learning/researching my body… Calorie intake is up (planned) to sustain my workouts and macros are ✅. I definitely need to eat even more on big workout 🔥days. Building muscle and increasing metabolism needs fuel…
NSV: I also let go of something today that was causing me HUGE stress… Glad to take that weight off.
Today: 🎾🏋️♀️🚶♀️🤸🏼

12/8 Yesterday - Good day but no real activity due to unforeseen meetings. ✅macros & 1443 cal. 🚶♀️5.6k.
Im noting I’m loosing some commitment to workout. This is a WARNING ⚠️ SIGN!! Cold weather does a number on me. Must move ONWARD no matter my “feelings”.
NSV: I’ve tracked 150 days in a row!! Staying mindful.
12/9 ⚖️. 131.4 I won’t pretend like that weight didn’t bother the hell out of me-for about THREE MINUTES… I was 100% on plan yesterday and ate under goal. The NSV? ⚖️won’t ruin my day… So…. Let’s stick with my continued commitment to weigh every day and see just how my scale swings… To really know my body and its fluctuations is to love my body-RIGHT?! I know I’m following the process, so I won’t be deterred… ! (But gosh… I do hate that scale… I do I do I do!)
✅macros & cal 1290, 🚶♀️3.1k, 🏋️♀️15 min, 💗Z2 - 12 min, 🔥42 active cal
Movement yesterday was cut short because I strained my back ST 🏋️♀️early in morn. (I did not properly warm-up!) But that 15 minutes was awesome! Therefore, I really couldn’t exercise, so I decided to limit my cal. I will be active today -back is good and my foot feels 💯!
12/10 ⚖️ 130.0lbs
Yesterday: ✅macros & 1744 cal , 125 ex min including 45min 💗Z2. ✅🏋️♀️20 min, 🔥570 total cal. 🚶♀️11.2k.
Nice walk. Solid 🏋️♀️. Enjoyed taking my DGS Christmas shopping.
Worked on developing a fully integrated/documented fitness routine - was to begin 1/1/24 (hard scheduled). But…. WILL START TODAY! Why put it off? Will do measurements today and head to the gym. (I just made a fresh commitment to myself!)
"Just like delayed gratification, outcomes and results are a lagging measure of really good daily habits." James Clear
12/11 ⚖️ 129.8lbs
Yesterday: ✅macros & 1440 cal , 80 ex min including 71 min 💗Z2. ✅🏋️♀️20 min, 🔥493 total cal. 🔥🚶♀️11.5k.
Gorgeous day! Nice walk. Good 🏋️♀️. NSV: So darn glad I woke up fresh and positive (no 🎄party!)
💡 I’m learning the scale doesn’t have as much of a grip on me during maintenance vs when I was in weight-loss mode. In maintenance I expect the fluctuations… But for some reason not so much during weight loss phase. (But obviously, I KNOW that’s not true!) So far so good - I’ve stayed on my plan so I don’t expect too much of a fluctuation & MAYBE ⚖️ everyday is a good thing for me in this time period. (increased ST 🏋️♀️to maintain/build muscle…) Let’s see how the scale reflects what’s happening in my body. The good thing is my mood is no longer ever-changing or riding on the 🎢.
12/12 ⚖️ 131.8 lbs
Yesterday: ✅macros & 1406 cal, 🚫ZERO ex min including ZERO min 💗Z2. 🚫🏋️♀️ZERO min, 🚫🔥ZERO total cal. 🚶♀️2.5k.
Started out positive: planning my exercises for day (took all my measurements for a starting point) then I became 💯distracted…. ALL DAY on another project that came out of nowhere. ⚠️Warning ⚠️ I am definitely prone to distractions😳
I WILL stick to my plans today!
NSV: Kept true to measuring, calories, macros & tracking.
131.8 lbs 🎢 ? I do feel “heavy” this morning…. I’ve been averaging 1450 cal /day so I don’t think it’s REAL weight … , maybe my body fluctuates 2 to 3lbs vs less than that? …. Learning.
12/13 ⚖️ 130.5lbs
Yesterday: ✅macros & 1506 cal, 143 ex min including 18min 💗Z2. 🏋️♀️35 min, 🔥1354 total cal. 🚶♀️8.5k.
Yesterday I wore myself out playing a competitive 🎾match & then doing 35 min 🏋️♀️at my newly found personal treasure Island/gym. I’m very comfortable there! The weight room was filled with peeps, but only three in the 🏀gym … I had a hair appointment later and actually had time to walk there and back (3 mile round trip) but opted out- (didn’t want to push it too much after nursing a stone bruise & a strained lower back for several days). Is there REALLY a true need for walking even more after my full/intense work-out? I was able to reach my other 💗Z goals. I give myself a 🙌🏻yesterday!
Today :💗Z2 & 🤸🏼.
Family holiday dinner this evening at a favorite restaurant. I’ve determined my order & will plan accordingly today!💪🏻

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!!!!

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 244 (my 174th. Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, as always, so grateful.
Goals for this round to, hopefully lose a pound, get resting heart rate back under 50 beats a minute, then longer term goal to keep under 140 for holiday abroad (28 days!).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.

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!10 -
I'm Julie. 35 years old. SAHM to 2 year old twins. 5'3.
Ultimate goal: 125
SW RND 244: 137.7
12/8: 137.3. I've been really tired lately because one of my boys has been having a hard time with sleeping. So I haven't been going to the gym as much as I should, skipped it yesterday so I could get some extra sleep. My food has been good. I've really been enjoying OMAD. It's easier to refrain from snacking if I just tell myself "it's not my eating time right now. I'm a bit disappointed that my weight isn't following suit, I'm still counting calories and staying under my goal.
12/9: 137.1. Still holding on to some PMS bloat. I wasn't able to go the gym because we took away pacifiers from our boys. I usually go when they're in bed, but didn't feel like I should leave my husband alone to deal with the angry boys. It took them over an hour to cry themselves to sleep
It really broke my heart. Food wise, it was okay. It's never perfect on my husband's days off of work. Today probably won't be too great either.
12/10: 137.5. I'm honestly surprised it's not higher. I did not stick to OMAD yesterday and portion sizes were a bit larger than they needed to be. Didn't go to the gym again last night, as were still adjusting to the boys not having their binkies and I wanted to be home for it.
12/11: 136.9. still higher than I would like, but at least it's going down. I have to get back to the gym soon, and back to running. I have a 10k race next month and can't take too much time off of training. And I feel better when I run. Food was okay, not the best use of calorie but was under at least. Didn't quite stick to OMAD, so that's my goal for today.
12/12: 137.1. I didn't get to the gym last night, still dealing with the binkies situation. I ate okay, apart from some ice cream I had. I tried to limit the portion size though.
12/13: 136.6. I'm just not very motivated right now. I think going so long without seeing any permanent changes has got to me. Why bother if I don't see results? I had ice cream again yesterday (too much to be honest). I went for a short walk, but no real exercise. I've decided Ill take the rest of the week off from the gym and get back to it this weekend. No reason other than I just don't want to right now. I'm sorry for the not-so-uplifting post.
12/14: 137.0.
