@itladyee Enjoy your time here in Vegas. I understand the Strip is something of a mess though, due to the recent and upcoming Formula 1 races. It’s supposed to be a bit cooler with highs in the upper 50s.4

12/28 235.4, MBS 171. They say that every journey begins with a single Krispy Kreme Doughnut..... no not really. But there is so much candy and homemade pastry in this house! Gonna be an interesting start. My goals this ten days 1) gain no weight, 2) Morning Blood Sugars down to 140's by the end of the period, and 3) log in every day. Challenging enough!
12/29 234.8. Not reporting blood sugar as I screwed up and fell asleep without taking my meds last night. Fairly responsible eating yesterday and I stayed active around the house. I'll start a walking regimen in the next day or three (still working on house organization projects with She Who Must Be Obeyed.)

RND 246 (my first)
53 y/o Female - 5’3”
SW: 155.8 - heaviest I’ve been since childbirth (my youngest is 14). Joined MFP in 2011 and got down to bouncing between 125-130 lbs consistently for several years. Over the past 2 years I have gained 25 lbs - with 16 of them coming in 2023. It’s time for me to get back to basics and do what I know works. Be active, be consistent, log everything.
Happy New Year! Here’s to a productive and successful 2024 🥳
12/28 - 155.8 - ran 3 (very slow) miles
12/29 - 155.0 - ran 3 miles with short intervals - did not sleep well last night so had to work very hard to convince myself to go out and run - felt hard and I felt weak - but I got it done

Round 246
Dec 28, 2023 – Jan 6, 2024
62 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 3: I've got a 4 day "streak" on MFP for the first time in a very long time- that's a start!
2024 will be the year when I finally alter my relationship to food.
RND 246, my RND 2:
12/28: 147.6 (estimated- will weigh tomorrow AM. Added 1 lb from last challenge)
12/29: 146.6 actual! I managed to hold steady through Christmas! And I got on the scale! And that after going to a friend's home for dinner last night, which is difficult to break down. Small step forward, all downward from here...
12/30: 145.2- stomach issue, I was on BRAT yesterday, this probably won't stick...

12/28 - 164.6 – good day logging, under my calorie goal and managed to work out (30 min walk, 20 min stretch) even though I wasn’t feeling it. Even hit my macros. Subbed cotton candy grapes for dessert and it was filling and delicious!
12/29 – 164.4 - Everything logged the best I could. Went on a 3.2 mile hike with the family. Slow but steady. Under calories met macros, met step goal, drank a lot of water.
12/30 – 163.1 – planning on going to the gym and then trying to keep my calories under control on date night

⚖️ 131.0 is real. Sure hope it’s added muscle? Zero 🚫 day. Did it even happen? Did not accomplish anything except sat in car dealership for hrs. Fasted until 3 PM then opted for eggs.

Yesterday: Early 🎾fun - some 💗Z2. Had to force myself to 🏋️♀️after… I always come up with so many excuses… Of course, I felt terrific when I checked-off that commitment. Short on steps so walked again in afternoon. Had 🥩 for lunch and chuck burger for dinner (No bread). (Much more than I usually eat - hungry from extended workout.)
Today: ?🚶♀️🤸🏼🎾 Holiday dinner tonight with friends. Thinking about a water/black coffee fast starting tonight leading up to InBody 12/30 @9AM. Really want to get back to ketosis. Researched: one 24 hr fast per wk. Then one 48 or 72hr fast every three months ... no more than that. Seems radical but based on solid science. Thinking on it.

12/29. *** The positive energy from choosing discipline, embracing my plan & respecting the goals that I claimed for myself (yes me & no one else) is FAR FAR better than a fleeting, momentary tastebud party or “high” derived from rat poison carbs or piddling and waisting the entire day. *** repeating this to myself over & over because I had to coerce myself to walk yesterday … Why?!
Today: 🚶♀️🏋️♀️? I may not get to exercise today, because I have to deal with car troubles again… water/coffee fast until InBody tomorrow 9AM.

2001 (Age 43) - Avg 145 lbs

UGW = 130lbs (ceiling)
Aug 14, 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 remained @ 128-132lbs through the end of 2020. Five years!
🎢 Roller Coaster Begins….
2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140 lbs.
8/1/ 2022 crept up to 142lbs.
Dropped to 128lbs again by 9/30 then held 130lbs till 1/1/23.
2023 Back ⬆️ 145lbs by July 15! 15lbs BOOM! Enjoyed eating & margaritas way too much! Ive always eaten somewhat healthy BUT portion control is/was a huge issue. Started tracking 7/15. Joined “Just give me 10 days” R231 in beginning of 8/2023. Here we are @ 130 determined to…. be in the
📣#bestshapeofmylife 📣
I learned MY choices created an emotional 🎢 roller coaster with yo-yo weight and fitness. My forever goal is to maintain 130lbs as a ceiling. Pretty clear to me that once I reached a goal weight I would then relax/ drift backwards. So glad 145lbs was the max over the last nine years.
I also noticed that as I age it becomes much MUCH more difficult to lose weight. I could loose 15lbs easy in 8 weeks up to 2020ish … This is absolutely not true anymore!!!!

Just popping in to join. I am in maintenance and don't weigh daily, but I would like to put 10 days together of staying on target and it is amazing to me how much better you can feel about everything after just a week to 10 days of staying on track. To participate I am going to put my RHR as my metric for the night before because my goal is to keep it below 59 which only happens when I keep to my activity and don't binge.
12/28 RHR 59 💚 Not a bad day
12/29 RHR 60 💛 Pretty good day. Had a nice 7 mile run
12/30 RHR 60 💛 Did not sleep well which probably contributes to this

I'm Julie. 35 years old. SAHM to two year old twins.
SW RND 246: 137.2
12/28: 134.8. I did it! I finally went back to the gym and ran 3 miles. Not a ton, but happy to get started after taking most of the month off.
12/29: 135.3. I ran 4 miles yesterday. It feels good to be running again. Food was okay- not great choices but somewhat low quantity. I haven't started tracking calories again, that's probably going to happen in the New Year.
12/30: 134.7. I did another 4 mile run yesterday, but that was all. No walks or anything else active. Again, food was okay, but not great choices.

12/28 237.4 Well folks, I never left MFP, but I certainly haven't been taking things seriously in 2023, and I have a lot of regain to show for it. I did my best when I was way more active here, so it's time to start. Missed you all!
12/29 237 At my dad's house with my travel scale but no food scale. It's been a long while since I've consistently tracked my food so I'm going to need to get back into the habit when I get home. Nice to see a move in the right direction today.
12/30 237 A miracle I stayed the same as we saw Wonka last night and I ate a giant popcorn. We did take the dog for a walk and my meals weren't terrible. Today we have a big family celebration at the Legion.

Day, Weight, Comment
12/28 - DNW
I tracked yesterday. Calories were very low, not because I skimped on meals but because I did not snack!. I knitted all through evening tv time, and had no urge to eat, so thats what I plan to do going forward. Guess I’d better start something big but mindless!
12/29 - DNW
I did reasonably well yesterday, but was hungry at night and had a few Triscuits with cheese quite late. Better than ice cream! I’m going to pay attention, but I think on days when I have a very light breakfast, I’m hungrier at night, and when I have more food, especially protein, I’m not hungry later. So, 2 scrambled eggs + coffee this morning! We’ll see.
12/30 - DNW
Ok, last day of my no-weigh-in break. I suspect I’ll be up a couple of pounds from my last weigh in, which was 189 at the end of R143, but I’ll (re)start where I am. Yesterday my calories were low (1220) but I did have cereal & almond milk around 9 p.m. because I really was hungry. Ok, off to groom the doggy! Happy last Saturday of 2023!

12/29 133.5 Potatoes and toast with steak & eggs yesterday. I ate about 2/3 oz of cheddar and 2 strips of bacon for “supper.”This weight should go quickly. Having Chicken Crack Casserole today. Arts and crafts “get rid of the goodies day” today.
12/30 134.5 No idea why my weight is up except possibly not enough water. The keto bar cookies I made (I didn’t have any leftover goodies) were quite popular. Our California neighbors are coming up today and she is planning to make a ham dinner for some of us while they are here. I hope she realizes that people make plans for New Year’s6 -

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 246 (my 176th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, as always, so grateful.
Goals for this round to, get strong again over the 'twixt' period, holiday abroad (9 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.

RND 246
12/28 DNW - no structured walking yesterday, atrocious weather; persistent rain and high winds, 377 calories over.
12/29 DNW – no structured walking, weather still awful ☹☹☹.
12/30 140.4 – very pleased with this number, travelled back home – on the back of a recovery truck ☹, brakes failed despite the car being in the garage for them to be done just 2 weeks ago, It was taken to a garage in the next town to have the independent investigation done on why this has happened, had to wait for a courtesy car, such a long day with all the waiting around for breakdown truck etc., that went to bed early without eating any tea as I was shattered!! No structured walking 202 calories in deficit.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/27 …..179.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/28 -179.4- (Trend weight 179.3)
12/29 -179.8- (Trend weight 179.3) I am teetering on re-entering the 180’s which is horrifying for me after all the hard work. Yesterday was travel (restaurants and sitting), today is the biggest baking day of the year (bites, tastes and licks) and tomorrow is the Family Feast and Gift Opening with all the children/spouses and grandchildren. So the numbers are only going to get worse. I’ll do my best but I know my weaknesses and my limits. January better watch out as I am coming at it with a vengeance!
12/30 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) I forgot to take my weekly Fosamax so I took it this morning with a large glass of water. I forgot to weigh first so I’ll have to see the damage another day. I baked all day yesterday and made fudge. I also cleaned the house spick & span top to bottom in anticipation for today’s Family Christmas event. I know my weight is up due to all the BLT’s and the lack of real structured exercise. This will be followed by the Feast today. Tomorrow will not be pretty on the scale. Unfortunately it is the end of the month as well as the end of the year tomorrow and I would like a final tally so I will probably have to bite the bullet and get on the scale and lump it. January will be my atonement.

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
