R247 Focus
***************************
GAIN MUSCLE 🏋️‍♀️!

I want to build a foundation of determination, consistency & dedication to building Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM).

Will take a huge mind-shift to NOT focus on the scale…

“And it dawned on me that I might have to change my inner thought patterns...that I would have to start believing in possibilities that I wouldn’t have allowed before...”
— Bob Dylan

Launch true commitment to train & gain more muscle. Focus on 🏋️‍♀️strength, 🤸🏼flexibility, speed & balance for tennis & aging. Focus on the process of DOING: Beginning Measurements ✅. Next InBody Scan @ end of month. Scale can float or fluctuate, unless I break macros or nutrition…. (WILL NOT HAPPEN!)

Pre- college: 125-130lbs
College-ballooned to 160lbs one year… graduated @130lbs.

2001 (Age 43) - Avg 145 lbs
2010 (Age 52) HW 172 lbs
2020 (Age 62) Avg 130-135

UGW = 130-132lbs ?
U SMM: 100lbs +
Initial BF% : 22%

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 📣

The yo-yo is exhausting & unhealthy. Takes up way too much space in my brain.

I learned MY choices created an emotional 🎢 roller coaster with yo-yo weight and fitness. My forever goal is to maintain approx. 130lbs. Pretty clear 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!

While active with 🚶‍♀️& 🎾 it’s clear a ST routine is absent. Time to incorporate ST 🏋️‍♀️ as my TRUE focus.

Cumulative Round Results
7/15/23 145lbs
R231 - R 246, lost 15lbs
Avg loss 1 -1.5lbs per Round
Now in Maintenance with focus on building muscle - not the scale.

Hello! This is my 5th round. The first 4 were in preparation for a dance performance, cruise, and my daughter's wedding and they were very successful! I felt more confident on stage, I only gained 2 pounds on the 11 day vacation, and fit nicely in my mother of the bride dress when I came home.

My next goal is to lose 15 pounds, or 1 pound per 10 days, over the next 5 months. At that time I'll see how I'm feeling and reassess then. It's good to be back!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/06 …..183.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

01/07 -183.0- (Trend weight 181.3) I guess the pizza didn’t help my cause although I managed to stay under in calories and very close to under in my allotted carbs. But it’s just not the same as “healthy food” so I should expect nothing less than what I got. It’s time for me to buckle down and “get dirty”. Time to get rid of the holiday damage. I did finally get off my “you-know-what” and get some exercise in yesterday. It’s a start! Good luck everyone this round. We know what to do, we just have to do it!

01/08 -179.8- (Trend weight 181.2) I had quite the overnight whoosh. I shed a lot of water most of the day yesterday (for whatever unknown reason) and I finally had TMI (in the middle of the night) last night, all of which graced the scale this morning. It’s encouraging and just goes to show that we must be patient with our bodies and our results. If we keep up our good habits, it will show up on the scale and on the tape measure in due time.

01/09 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

I know its hard, but don't be discouraged @SheilaBoneham. Maybe eating MORE and not less will stop your body from fighting back? I've heard staying within your BMR is a great way to keep metabolism in check. Rooting it for you!

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Nothing changes if nothing changes; so what will be different this round?
First, keep your goals reasonable. Disappointment is a great gate to get to the "Poor Me" syndrome and junk food will quickly follow. One pound per ten days will get me to my goal in plenty of time to hike the PCT in 2025.
Second, record EVERYTHING, you can't change if you don't know what to change.
Third, and this is for ME, all calories are NOT the same; Carbs, for me, trigger strong urges and I don't want to spend much time fighting strong urges. Stick to a lowCarb-NoCarb regime.

Onward, Started this program at 203. Ultimate goal is 156. Starting this round at 194. Goal this round is 193 or 192.

Motivation for this round? I am getting closer to losing my first ten pounds. Don't give up the ship!

@GregoryStaley
Now’s the time for a TON of affirmations! Keep going! Count your NSVs! YOU already lost the 10lbs… I KNOW IT!!! Your daily actions are a leading indicator… The scale is a lagging indicator- remember that! 💪🏻🙌🏻😎

UGW 160lb (RND 278)
RND. 246 Ending Wgt. 224

01/07 (Day 31) - 244 ~ I stayed under the 1450 calorie goal, minimal exercise, and only 48oz H2O. It is better than yesterday, not as good as tomorrow.

01/08 (Day 32) - ??? ~ I wish we could get a break in the weather, rain, rain, and wind. I know I shouldn’t complain since our family in Wyoming had sun, but 19 degrees, I’m not sure which I prefer.
Hopefully, my scale will be here tomorrow. I weighed 4 times this morning and was 224, 227.9, 222.5, and 226.3. I don’t know what to believe except my waistline feels smaller! I measure next weekend, and excitement abounds!
Goals this round; Today's results-
Eating healthy, high protein & fiber, calorie limit 1450
…..Calories are under.
Water 60oz+ each day
…..Water intake is down, I am having difficulty getting over 48 oz.
Walking 30min 5 times a week
…..I did walk 30 minutes, but only 1 mile.
Strength training 2 days a week
…..No strength training today.

01/09 (Day 33) - ??? ~

1/7 237.4 Started this round with a huge surge up. I took my husband for a night away to a lodge in the backcountry of the Rocky Mountains. We had some indulgences and it shows. Most of this will be water weight but it's time to get focused. We left the resort and did a nearly 8KM snowshoe hike before we came home so at least we got our activity today! Let's make some progress for this round!
1/8 239 Was really surprised to see another bump up today. I had a good day but rather than ride the bike tonight we got invited to have dinner at a friend's house last minute. The food was healthy enough.

I'm in for another round - will not be able to weigh for the first 8 days as we will be abroad on holiday, but I'll check in everyday.

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 247 (my 177th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, as always, so grateful.
Goals for this round to, to stay strong through holiday, log food each day as best I can and try to not gain any weight.

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.
End of round 69 134.2 lbs
End of round 70 133.6

1/7. DNW - 8.15 miles walked yesterday, a combination of around the airport before the flight and then around the resort after we arrived. I tried to keep sensible, and have tried to over estimate rather than under the meals prepared but by me, so reckon I was 500 calories over yesterday.
1/8 DNW - 10 .35 miles walked yesterday, wore different sandals and ended up with blisters on heels after 8 miles, luckily always carry plasters!! All but 89 calories eaten back.
1/9. DNW - 11.19 miles walked, all but 206 exercise calories eaten back.

Hi all, this is my 2nd round in a row. I lost 0.8 kg in the last one I hope I will continue to lose. I aim to lose 1 kg (2.2 lbs) in 10 days. But at the same time I know from my old experiences the second and third week is harder than first one. So even if I don’t lose weight I should continue.

SW 103.9 kg (229 lbs)

(so glad to be here!)

SW: 143.4
Goals for this round: Sustainable habits: eat for good health (no "extreme eating" too much/too little); weigh a little less. continue the workout routine. 10 days flies, make them good for me!

01/07- 142.6- positive start; feeling good about my choices right now. I know the initial drop will stop soon and then I'll level off; that's why it's good to have short term goals but keep the big picture in mind.

01/08- 142.6-(back to my pre-holiday weight. Let the games begin!)

I'm Julie, 35 year old SAHM to two year old twins.

SW RND 247: 137.2

1/7: 134.1. Not sure why I had the random spike yesterday, but I'm glad it came back down. I did a 6 mile run and eating was good. I had another sleepless night last night, thanks to one of my boys, so today is going to be another rough day, I'm sure. I'm going to still try to run tonight, but I know I'm going to be exhausted, making it really easy to talk myself out of it.

1/8: 134.0. I would LOVE to be in 133 zone, but I guess not today. I was tired but forced myself to go to the gym and run 4 miles. I also went for a walk, even though it was a bit cold, 50°F, but I'm near the Phoenix area so not used to the cold lol.. I was worried my boys were getting too cold, so kept it short. I'm proud of myself for getting some exercise even though it was really tempting to skip it yesterday.

1/9: 134.0. Well at least it's not up. Food was good, went for a walk and a run. Little short on sleep last night- not sure why my boys are sleeping so bad lately. But that's okay, I'm still planning on exercising today.

1/7 237.4 Started this round with a huge surge up. I took my husband for a night away to a lodge in the backcountry of the Rocky Mountains. We had some indulgences and it shows. Most of this will be water weight but it's time to get focused. We left the resort and did a nearly 8KM snowshoe hike before we came home so at least we got our activity today! Let's make some progress for this round!
1/8 239 Was really surprised to see another bump up today. I had a good day but rather than ride the bike tonight we got invited to have dinner at a friend's house last minute. The food was healthy enough.
1/9 235.2 Alright, there's the drop. I have a day of mostly unplanned food - a course where food is served, and then a corporate event with dinner out and then box seats at the Calgary Flames game. Will have to be smart about my choices.

1/8: 205.6 (-0.3) good diet day, bad exercise. Planning to sort both out today!
1/9 206.8 (+1.2) new scales so that may account for more accuracy as the exercise and diet couldn’t have been a whole lot better. Bigger push today!

01/09 - 152.3 - I was very low on calories yesterday on top of my 2 mile treadmill run. I simply wasn't hungry and that was very nice after several days of what seemed like insatiable hunger. I even kept it to 2 Adkins peanut butter cups as a "stress" treat during last night's championship. We are national champs! (I'm a complete Michigan Wolverine fan despite living in Texas - I have been since I was a young child). I need to do a bodyweight upper body strength at some point today but I slept in after staying up several hours past my bedtime watching the game. Taking it easy today. "Normal" eating and we have the calorie-bomb enchiladas tonight for dinner so will need to be cautious about my breakfast and lunch.

01/08 - Well I wasn't expecting that after last night's dinner. We went to friend's to hang out for a bit and had homemade burgers. I munched on too many chips, honestly. I did, however, munch on a loooot of veggies from the veggie tray we brought. Today I ran on the treadmill due to the horrible wind we're having. Managed 2 miles. Will slowly up that to 3 miles (5k) then incorporate my 10k training from there since my 10k training is really a 5k to 10k program). Low carb today. Dinner is garlic lemon shrimp with creamed spinach. Lunch is egg roll in a bowl. Not much else to report on but feeling very hopeful for this round!

36 YO – 5’6” stay at home mom to two little kids

About me

I'm in this for a second go! I'm struggling with motivation at this point in the year, but the 10 day challenge definitely helped - hoping to keep logging, drink more water and keep getting in all of my vegetables! I work out plenty but I'm having an issue with staying below calories. Two small kids and a husband who are always snacking is not helping. I lost 20 lbs last year, have put 5 back on, and I don't want any more coming back! Hoping to lose 15 more this year.
SW Rd 246 164.6 EW 161.8 – completely cut out alcohol

SW Rd 246 164.6 EW 161.8

SW 160.9 RND 247

1/7 – 160.9 – injured my foot right at the beginning of a workout, ugh. Hopefully it heals quickly. Calories were a bit off yesterday because I decided to eat closer to maintenance.
1/8 – 160.2 – losing quickly which is strange, I’m still assuming it’s the holiday water weight shedding, because idk, not doing anything special. Walked a ton, stayed under calories because of all the walking, AF, forgot the green smoothie but had a ton of veggies
1/10 – 160.4 – happy the weight is still staying off, I can't wait to see the 150s!! goals – get my steps in, lots of errands today so I should be able to, stay under calories and on point for nutrition

1/9-171- I’ve got my work cut out for me. No more new projects. My dad made me a quilt rack and I hung all of my quilt tops on it and I can see what needs to be done. Yard needs pruning. Made a big pot of Panera chicken soup.

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

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

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

• 8000 Steps/day

1/7 - 187.2 - 3,861 steps which is really low. I got Melissa's shopping and ours done, shovelled the little bit of snow we got off the front walks.
1/8 - 187 - 7,729 steps, getting closer to my goal. It was a cold day. Had my doctors appointment. Will be doubling my meds once I'm back from Cap Cana. Then in a month if things aren't better the doctor is going to change course and try another treatment. The drive to Vegreville was beautiful, the trees were all covered in snow and ice. Saw lots of Buffalo around the park, sky was deep blue. Wish I had taken a picture.
