Goals for this round
• Track daily

• 8000 Steps/day
12/28 - No weight, 5,972 steps, low for the day, did not track water but I know it was not good
12/29 - 187.0, 5,882 steps, low for the day, need to work on getting a walk in or getting on the treadmill. Did not track my water again.
12/30 - 188.0, 6,067 steps, low for the day but I am tracking and really that is my main goal this week. Did not track water. Overall a good day. Did some work, had to spend time on the phone getting our internet and tv fixed. Almost 2 hours, not fun but things seem to be so much better now. Ended the evening by doing up some new nails.
12/31 - 186.8, 5,882 Steps, very low for the day. I ordered a new scale, both one for the house and 1 for travel. I don't want to use travel as an excuse to not weigh myself. Had a good evening with friends last night.
1/1 HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎆186.4, 4,174 steps very low, wasn't feeling great and didn't end up doing a lot.

01/02 - 155.3 - Stress eating due to the Michigan game and ended up having a second glass of champagne that I really shouldn't have. I didn't need it, it was something to do with my hands. I ended up getting seconds on the cornbread and black eyed peas because I accidentally snorted a mouthful of that mixture through my nose. Note to self: don't eat while trying to watch a stressful game. Take bites during commercials only. I apparently felt that the lucky dinner could only be lucky if I consumed the food rather than snort it out my nose so I got more, despite the fact that all of it minus one forkful was properly eaten. I wasn't in the right mind at all last night. Today I am doing strength. I have done 2 sets already of 10 bodyweight squats and 10 (each) 10lb kettlebell single leg romanian deadlifts. I need one more set of each to be done. I attempted to take the dogs for a walk but the rain hit sooner than forecast and we had to sprint back home. Considering it was supposed to be raining from 2-3am onward until after dark tonight, I'm content at the 1/2 mile we managed to squeeze in despite getting a tad bit wet. At least none of us got soaked! Low carb today and I'm determined to make better choices!

Previous Day's Comments12/28 - Once again, not enough water. I'm really failing at that. I'm setting reminders on my phone to drink water earlier so I'm not trying to fit it all in before bed like I have been lately. I also gave in to too many cookies and sweets. Today is a low carb day. I have the cabbage-wrapped dumplings to make up for lunch today before the cabbage goes bad. Dinner is something called Marry Me Chicken. No clue, but it's low carb so we're giving it a try. Only workout is walking the dogs and anything bodyweight I manage through the day since I didn't plan. Another thing I'm writing down for me to get fixed up and planned out once kids are gone. Today is their last full day, they leave about 930am tomorrow.
12/29 - Better! Low carb day went okay. The cabbage dumplings were a nightmare since the cabbage leaves tore more often than they didn't. I was pleasantly surprised with the ones I managed to make though BF wasn't. I remainder of the filling I made into chicken meatballs using pork rind "breadcrumbs" and BF liked those better. Dinner was Marry Me Chicken which ended up being a lot less of a "one pot dinner" and required sides. Fortunately I had some burger lettuce and I had harvested some of my spring mix plants to allow enough greenery for BF and I to make a salad. Our septic system may need a full replacement - it may be too small and it overflowed. The company we paid to drain and inspect both tanks prior to purchase of this house ended up only draining and inspecting one... Ugh. Emergency drain cost over $500 and now we're looking at over $15,000 in the coming months. Stress relief is going to be a focus now.
12/30 - DNP
12/31 - DNP
01/01 - Happy New Year! I admit, I let the stress of the septic tank issue and the kids leaving get to me. I feasted on all the cookies (now there are none) and breads. Too many calories, not enough movement Friday, even with my run. Saturday had more movement and slightly less calories, but still not in control by any means. Yesterday was better but not great. BF was back from exchanging kids and we had our low carb day. No exercise, though. TOM arrived yesterday morning adding to extra bloat and heaviness. Hopefully over the coming days, things will settle out in life and therefore I can settle out my eating. New Years Lucky dinner tonight with Fam and watching Michigan (my team) play Alabama in the Rose Bowl. It will be very stressful. Once BF is up, I'll go change into workout clothes and knock out my run and walk the dogs. Also have lots of posts to catch up on!

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!
12/31 - 191
Well, there it is. 2023 has been a fat year for me—I’m up 12.4 pounds. Emotional self-sabotage, and it has to stop. So my goals for 2024–- sleep and get up earlier,
- meditate 10 minutes minimum per day,
- move more,
- try not to eat after dinner but if I am really hungry, eat something light and healthy,
- eat more responsibly when out for lunch with friends,
- Calories <1400 most days.
01/01 - 190.6
Happy New Year! It’s not much, but I’ll take a January 1st loss as a harbinger for the coming year. I ate responsibly yesterday. DH wants to order Thai food for lunch/dinner, so I’m avoiding the high-calorie curries in favor of a stir fry heavy on veggies, save half for tomorrow, and enjoy it.
01/02 - 191.2
☹️ I didn’t see that coming. Calories 1415 yesterday, 1220 Sunday. Salt maybe in yesterday’s stir fry?

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/Weight/Comment
12/28 – 130.4 hopefully, yesterday is the end of thoughtless eating
12/29 – 130.4 cleaning out the fridge before leaving town. Choices not good as yet. Leaving 7 am tomorrow.
12/30 – Drive MA to NC 130.4 Back filling data. 29th was so occupied with packing, preparing the house and visiting my mom, I honestly cannot remember how I ate, but I know that I did not track.
12/31 – Drive NC to FL, @MIL by evening 130.0 (renpho travel scale) Did fairly in yesterday’s 700 mile drive. I did track and would have been slightly over, but chick fil a filled my “grilled” chicken nuggets with fried, but they also forgot to give me my pre-tracked honey mustard sauce. I am accepting the day. Not perfect, but acceptable. 700 more mile to go today.
1/1 – @MIL (renpho travel AFTER breakfast) 130.6 Did I want to step on the scale after breakfast? No. But I made myself do it. At least it was a number.
1/2 – Finish drive to Keys (renpho 130.6) Bummer that I am the same as AFTER breakfast. Staying at MIL’s is dietarily challenging.

SW RND 246 134.5
12/28 131.5 Drank plenty of water, 16g total carbs Going to brunch with friends at 11. Be strong, be strong, be strong.
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’s Eve!
12/31 134.0 Great Greek today.
1/1 HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎆 134.5 @4am WHY am I awake this early??? California neighbors are fixing ham and turkey today and going back to Cali tomorrow. I’m making “Smashed Crisp Potatoes” or something like that. I don’t generally eat potatoes but will try these. I know they will send ham and turkey home with all of us and try to get us to take anything refrigerated or frozen. They brought us 2 shopping bags of fruit that I will end up taking to DD#2’s school. They clearly don’t understand low carb/no sugar.
1/2 134.0 I think I will treat the neighbors to Sticky Buns this afternoon. I hope I can be strong and avoid them! Tomorrow starts my New Year. I will get measurements and photos somehow.9 -
RND 246: My Journey ~ Round 3
F, 67, 5’4" ~ SW-231 Ultimate goal weight of 160lb at the end of RND 278
End of last round- 222.8
12/28~ (Day 21) - 221.7 ~ Planning, when will I learn?
~It's a new round, but the same goal. Keep logging in and choose for the end goal; a healthy active lifestyle. Yesterday was not what I had hoped for. Maybe that is the problem, hoping and not planning. I talk about planning, but then I procrastinate until it's too late to plan because the time to act (exercise, eat) is here and I am 'not in the mood' to think about it. Planning, when will I learn? It seems like such a good idea, but my follow-through sucks! On the happy side whatever I am doing is working.
12/29~ (Day 22) -222. ~ I am feeling positive today.
~Though the weather is sucky I will walk after work today. 2 miles is the goal. My knee, you are probably tired of hearing about it (sorry), is still stiff and sore from my last walk. It doesn't help sitting most of the day for work, I do get up and walk the stairs at least once every couple of hours and stretch a bit. Hopefully, the stiffness and pain will ease up a bit soon. I was a full year before the last knee replacement was totally pain-free. I must remember that and keep up the rehab. I have a new bike I want to get on ASAP.
12/30~ (Day 23) -221.1 ~ Woo hoo!!! 10 pounds gone forever!
~ This challenge is so inspiring. All the support from this group, the ideas and successes you all share keep me logging on every day and I am finally seeing success can happen.
12/31~ (Day 24) -220.2 ~ Last day of 2023! Make it Work.
~ Almost noon and not a thing accomplished. So, I’m going to post, get up off my a** and get moving. It’s a pretty day; cool, slightly overcast, and dry. I’m headed out the door for a walk and perhaps some beach time depending on the tide. Then, what to cook for dinner? I’m staying home safe tonight with my husband with a toast at midnight to start the new year. Happy New Year to you all. Be safe and my god bless you all with a successful, New Year-New you!
01/01~ (Day 25) -220.7
~ Well, that was not at all what I planned. I ate too much, was way too carb-heavy, and erratic, and I missed lunch. Thank God that is behind me. New year – New me. Procrastination (I’ll do it later) should be my middle name. How, do I get out of that mindset? I would think after 67 years I would have figured it out. It’s so easy to say, ‘Just do It’. But the follow-through, ugh, I need help. Suggestions?
01/02~ (Day 26) -222.8
~ Yesterday was good. The sun was shining which always helps the mood, but it was a push from you that got me to move, over 6500 steps. Probably won't be that today unless the rain ceases. But I will do something.
01/03~ (Day 27) -??? ~

UGW-140
12/29-172-Ready to start clean even though it’s Friday. I get so caught up in the holidays and enjoy the food and there is NO time for exercise and I need to just get back on track and start taking care of myself again.
12/30-171-Good day…my horse got to make a sweet new friend. Reminds me of when my kids were young. Rode the horse and got good exercise. Cooked a prime rib for dinner and had salad and roasted cauliflower.
1/2-DNW-Went to a gathering yesterday and had a chili dog (bun and all). Back on track today, it’s drippy, breezy foggy here and I need to quilt a quilt, so I’ll stay inside. Happy New Year everyone!!!7 -
@Corina1143 'didn't eat well, didn't walk, didn't sleep well' You will do better. We all get in these slumps, pre-holiday, after-holiday, winter dull-drums, rain, cold, or just the blahs. Whatever it is causing this will pass. In the meantime, I am rooting for you!

10 Day Challenge
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
12/30 - 155.0 - ran 4 miles today
12/31 - 154.7 - happy to be going in the right direction….now need to hang onto the trend into the new year. Rest day today. Tomorrow i will begin the Winter Warrior Challenge. 31 days….3 miles each day….OUTSIDE. Living in Michigan, that can be quite challenging in January. so far it has been a very mild winter. We had snow on Halloween but nothing since. Anticipating that will change in the next week or so. I have done this challenge several times in prior years but have not done it for the past two. My best fitness years have begun with this challenge so I decided to take it on even though I don't feel “ready” for it. Excited to be doing it again. Cheers to the last day of 2023!
1/1 - Happy New Year! 155.2 - had some salty food last night ringing in the new year - so hoping that is the cause of the gain and that I will be going in the other direction again soon. Ran 3 miles today. Day 1 of the Winter Warrior Challenge. 30 more to go - 3 miles outside - every day in January.
1/2 - 154.7 - Day 2 of Winter Warrior Challenge - 3 miles

I’m a 65 year young gal working on getting rid of those last 8 pounds. Last go-around I didn’t always manage to get my steps in due to my walking partner (dog) being on house arrest due to a pulled muscle. Also went on a mini vacation. This round I would like to get back on track so I can start the next round strong! Here we go! We got this! And yes, I’m late to this party due to that mini-vacation!

Hi, I'm Charissa

Round 246, just in the nick of time!!! In the course of a year, I managed to gain. Normally this would upset me and I'd throw in the towel, only to gain more weight; but I did have success in 2023. Life just got in the way and I lost my focus. During the ride, I learned some things that work and truly are sustainable, I also learned that I need to work on my emotions and how they relate to how I treat or mistreat my body.
So here we go 2024... my motto -
🏋🏾♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
Goals this round:
*This round will be odd, but it will be a start. I will be on vacation 12/29 - 1/2. I will get plenty of exercise (walking) but I probably won't begin the nutrition refocus until I get back since I won't be cooking and not sure what my options will be.
1/3 on...
- Tracking to the best of my ability 🍎and staying under calorie budget (just say NO!)- Defining a higher calorie budget which will make the loss slower but again, more sustainable.
Also get rid of the oops factor. When targets are too low, it easy to say...Oops, I went over so I
might as well have...<fill in the blank>

12/28 223.8 ~ This morning was a Don't think, just do it morning. I set the alarm to make sure I woke up in time to exercise. I wanted to turn over and go back to sleep but I didn't. Went to the gym. Weights: Arms & Legs. 10 minutes on the bike and 20 minutes on the treadmill. Always happy when it's done!🙂 Lots of junk in the house from the holidays. I forgot I made Buckeyes as they were in the refrigerator. I tried one and then had another, they were so good. I'm going to freeze them into individual servings for portion control. The rest of the stuff is going out (garbage) tonight. We leave tomorrow for Vegas for 3+ days so I will come back to an empty house and start with a clean slate!
12/29 223.6 ~ 🏋🏾♀️ Don't think, just do it!! Weights: Shoulders, Back and a little chest🙂 30 minutes on the treadmill. Ready for mini vacation!!
12/30 *vacation*
12/31 *vacation*
1/1 *vacation* Happy New Year!!! Getting lots and lots of steps in. Big dinner last night but mostly sea food. One more day then a travel day. It's been fun!
1/2 * vacation* Travel day. Interesting...the last couple of trips I've actually been ready to come home. Real work starts tomorrow. There was alcohol to celebrate the new year, but today...I turned down mimosas at breakfast. A start🙂 Nothing changes if nothing changes!

@corina1143 ~ I am right there with you. Tired of losing and gaining the same weight. But looking at the bright side, we could just experience the gain🙂
@reshil_devi ~ you're right about the Why being big enough. It took me a year to work through finding a why that I was not ok with. For me, it boils down to health and not losing my mobility, and the ability to take care of myself. Love your montra!
@ashleycarole86 ~ You got this!
@deepwoodslady ~ I'm glad you were able to figure out why your daughter got the chocolates for you...and all with good intent. I think you have a good plan to "live" with for the next year!!
@Cchassee @ sorry you're feeling defeated, but kudos for not resorting to bad choices! You re right, that's a win. Practice a little self care - something just for you - then slowing get back into the swing. You're right, the mind is a powerful thing! sending positive vibes your way!
@starrjulia8 ~ Congrats on the NSV! That's awesome. I always feel tons better after a workout. Getting there sometimes is a challenge!!
Gotta run...time to board!!11 - Defining a higher calorie budget which will make the loss slower but again, more sustainable.

@Comandjarvis Keep me in the runner's loop, please. My strategy, perhaps faulty, is to lose the majority of weight first (another 30 lbs. or so) and then start my 5K training (June). I could train as I go, but thought the extra weight would be hard on my knees.CamandJarvis wrote: »SummerSkier wrote: »By the way if any of you are runners and signed up for Run the Year I have a team open to all!
Tell me more, please! I'm training up for my first 10k (April 28th) and I have my first trail run (5k, June 1) and an annual run in November (unsure if 5k or 10k, depends on how April goes).

Jen; 47; 5'4"
About Me:This is my eighteenth round and looking forward to participating again.
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 and I just started a job in November 2023 after being a stay-at-home mom for 23+ years which makes getting any outdoor exercise difficult.

12/30 - 218.6 - 8608 steps
12/31 - 219.4 - 8121 steps - (Forgot to post this last night) Today was the last day I gave myself permission to pig out and just eat what I want without weighing or counting calories or even caring about what I was eating. The last week, I'd had all the things I had been missing for the previous 5+ months and I have no regrets. Today before lunch, I had some Sour Cream & Onion chips then my husband ordered pizza so I grabbed a few Philly Cheesesteak slices as I left for work. Then after work, I ate some more pizza and had the rest of my chips and dip I bought yesterday to celebrate the end of the year. Tomorrow is a new day and I'll be back on track. I already packed up the uneaten bags of chips to take downstairs in the morning so they won't tempt me. I can't wait for the new year and what it will bring. I really think I'll hit my goal of 165lbs by the end of the year. At the very least, I'll get below 200lbs sometime this year and that will be awesome because I haven't been that light in 24 years.
1/1 - 218.4 - 8074 steps - I did good today. I had half a sandwich for lunch before work and a full sandwich on my lunch break with some grape tomatoes and half portion of veggie straws. When I got home I had the last of the Christmas leftovers, one small slice of pizza and some more veggie straws. I was still under my calories for the day so I think I'm back on track. I was kind of hungry at work, but we were also talking about food a lot (my co-worker got an instant pot so I've been giving her tips).
1/2 - 215.0 - 9406 steps - Long day at work. Was just tired and hungry when I got home but first had to clean up the kitchen and feed the cats and my food was already cold when I finally sat down. I ate the dinner I had put aside for myself (and logged) but also had the last slice of pizza that was in the fridge and a bit of a Hershey bar. Sigh.

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.

Day, Weight, Comment
SW DNW
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.
12/31 140.4 – glad the number stuck, 4.44 miles walked, all exercise calories plus 62 eaten back.
1/1 HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎆 140.8 – 11.43 miles walked, all calories eaten back. Hope you all enjoy/ed your celebrations, we danced the night away into the early hours, such a good night with like-minded company, feet are a little achy, but the great satisfaction overshadows that!!
I didn’t meet my mileage goal last year, no excuses here, I average 7.73 miles per day, will try to meet it again this year !!
1/2 141.4 – a good day yesterday, 11.8 miles walked, ¾ exercise calories eaten back.
1/3 141.4 - persistent rain ALL day ☹ managed only 4.82 miles walking, but I got my car back !! Lunch out with sisters 200 calories over.

RND 246, my RND 2:
SW: 147.6
Goal this round: stick to the plan, weigh a little less at the end.
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...
12/31: 145.2 held steady even with family party. Body Pump this AM.
1/1: 146.2- no surprise, with my daughter and her family to play games for NYE; lots of snack foods for "dinner". I'm here and I weighed! I took "before" photos, which I'll do once a month.
1/2: 145.4- Pretty sure yesterday's "bump" was the amazingly high sodium from NYE. Today was great, gym, good food, water, tea after dinner. I'm very aware how often I sit down to relax in the evening and my first impulse is to "graze". I think that's my biggest hurdle- this habit needs to change because at some point I'll skip the carrots and grab the chips. I need to disconnect reward/relax time from munching!
1/3: 144.2- Very happy with this as it means the "bloat" from eating salt/fat/sugar after dinner is going away. Usually I eat very light meals and my calorie gain is from after dinner snacking, so making sure my meals are healthy is just as important as stopping mindless snacking. I don't want to lose with habits I can't maintain- that's what keeps me in this gain/lose cycle.

12/28 RHR 59 💚 Not a bad day
12/29 RHR 60 💛 good day with a 7 mile run
12/30 RHR 60 💛 Did not sleep well which probably contributes to this
12/31 RHR 58 💚 Slept well. Tried something different.
1/1 RHR 58 💚 Did NOT sleep well (too many fireworks) Continuing experiment with Synthroid at wake up vs middle of night.
1/2 RHR 60 💛 Not sure what bumped my RHR up but probably doing 2 runs. At 65 I need to give myself recovery from cardio a little more. sigh. It was a great 1st day of the year tho
1/3 RHR 60 💛 Interesting. A good day but did not sleep well. 3 more days to go. We can do it!
