Too much information !!

@Onewomanswalk But in this group, "Too much Information" often references how "successful" you were in the bathroom (AKA Bowel movement), or so I was told way back when I asked this question. In the real word, TMI simply means too much information as @musicsax stated.

EW:
Goals for this round:
Tomorrow we leave for a long weekend at a New England B&B, with breakfasts that are amazing and dinners out every night. But we'll be snowshoeing every day so I should be able to maintain. These 5 days will be a great test on keeping to the plan while enjoying a vacation. Real life beta test 

*maintain weight at 140.8 (or lose slightly when I get back)
*enjoy my vacation without obsessing, but weigh every day (travel scale!)
*have fun and make this work for the long run!

We leave this morning for a much-needed mini-vacation. Most years lately there's no snow, but we even have snow in NJ, so snowshoeing will be awesome! Deep freeze here- colder there! I hope the "high-calorie burn" climbing will offset the "high-calorie eating" breakfasts. I'll choose dinners wisely.
Goal: stay level, eat well and come back relaxed and steady. Wish me luck!

Hi, Kelly here. Had an interruption last round and when I came back it was a whole new round lol Thanks for coming back over and over to keep these 10 day rounds going.

5'11" My weight has been as high as 222 in the last 3 months. Participating because it keeps my mind on the goal. This round I would like to just end the round a little lower than I started.

Freeze 🥶🥶🥶has thrown me off. Was cold to the bone (it’s relative, right?!) 2nd day of LAZY. However, I did get in 20 minutes of 🙆‍♀️and a dumbbell here/there. Today was about my DGS. I don’t need to eat as much on days like today… I did nothing… It was not a “workout” day, so I need to be more mindful of portion control. I can certainly eat too much of a good thing!

Shall have a better physical day today. Will force myself: 🙆‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼. No reason I can’t accomplish these activities inside, as I am set up to do it! Don’t make it tough. Let’s go! 🙌🏻

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.

Dropped to 128lbs again by 9/30 then held 130lbs till 1/1/23.

📣#bestshapeofmylife 📣

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

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

Happy to see this challenge every time it comes out! Perfect time period for me. Thank You @QuiltingJane for a great idea. I can't explain why this challenge has worked for me when so many other methods have failed. Not dwelling on the why, just pushing ahead. Carbs and sugary food, for me, are my weakness. For me, they should be treated like Rat Poison. That's the mental image I try to remember. If I want to succeed I need to know and act on the Carb content of every fork-full.
Some time during this or the next round my hiking backpack and I will weigh less than I alone when I started this challenge last Thanksgiving. Ultimate goal: To start the Pacific Crest Trail in 2025, fit and 156 lbs!!!!!

@Leigh_b HUGE kudos re:dedication to the Winter Challenge. Amazing! I’m in awe. I’m dying here with 3 days of temps under 20. But I’ll definitely go to our warm gym today! Thx for the inspo!

@judefit1 your get-away sounds perfect. We love to hike- but never thought about snow-shoeing…. Just asked my DH about going on such an adventure because it sounds fun … His immediate reply, “NO”. 🤣🤣🤣 You’ll definitely 🔥 tons so enjoy!

Hi, I'm Charissa

Thank you, QuiltingJaine, for keeping us focused in 2024!

OSW 2022-03 230.3
1SW 2023-01 221.8
1SW 2024-01 223.4

So here we go 2024... my motto -
🏋🏾‍♀️ Don't think, just do it!!

Goals this round:
- Tracking to the best of my ability 🍎and staying under calorie budget -

• 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>
  Update: I increased my calorie budget and am having trouble meeting it with the right macros.
  Update: I hit my protein macro once in the last 10 days.... it's hard!

- Water (Goal 32 - 64 oz - starting slower to incorporate success) : ✅

• Goal is 60 this week
  - Closing my rings : 🚶🏽

Round 248
January 17 - 26, 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 (father has since passed and I am DPOA, Personal representative AKA executor, trustee, and oversee the majority of my mother’s care). 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!

SW: 127.0

Day/Weight/Comment

1/17 – 128.2 Makes absolutely no sense BUT I tracked perfectly yesterday, and I actually solidly under ate. So, this is where I am trusting my tracking and not the scale and moving ahead with confidence.

1/18 – 127.4 So “yesterday” cleared up, just as I anticipated. Did I end up back at 127.2 where I started? No, but also last night I faced eating a meal that I could not plan for, and was one for which it was necessary that I not pull out the “I track my food”, a point which I normally am more than willing to share as I think tracking is awesome (remember I like data). DH and I were invited for dinner by the hard working, but divisive/temperamental, head of our condo association. He is French, so the meal was actually quite healthy, but I am sure somewhat more than my normal calories. Plus he served champagne, then wine (I rarely drink), and possibly the best steak I have ever had (note that I never order steaks in restaurants, so no restaurant steak to compare to). Anyhow, overall happy with the number. Was a nice evening, and no condo drama occurred, which was a concern (I’m sure it was a concern for him as well). Happy Thursday all!

Nothing to report. 😊 I hope everyone in the frigid zone is warm and safe.

I did reasonably well yesterday, although I ate more bread than intended. Day by day. Off to get a little exercise shoveling the driveway.

Day, Weight, Comment
01/17 - 152.5
01/18 - 152.6 - Not bad for a "normal" eating day! I made homemade (fully from scratch) ramekin pot pies. I made a full recipe and froze what we didn't eat last night for future use. I woke up with full water pressure this morning which was exciting. I had an early work meeting so I'm hoping through the day I can incorporate some bodyweight exercises to get movement in and take a mental break from the tedious work task I have today and tomorrow. Maybe squeeze in a run tomorrow. Even though it's a workday I can always start an hour later than normal and work until my normal time since it's an 8 hour day versus my normal 9 hours. Lunch today is low carb pizza rolls and dinner is bacon chicken thighs in garlic cream sauce with a side salad (possibly cauliflower rice if BF wants). Not fasting but likely able to push through until lunch with only my coffee (Ryze mushroom coffee, Vital Proteins powder (1/2 serving), and 1/4 Atkins Creamy Caramel protein shake as my creamer alternate)

Previous Day's Comments

01/17 - A drop after low carb day and TMI. I was also able to get the heaters working long enough and good enough to get just enough flow of water for a quick shower for both BF and I. It wasn't thorough, but I don't feel so awful and gross anymore. No workouts until a shower is guaranteed which may not be until next week. We may be above freezing during the day, but we're below freezing overnight until Sunday (or so the forecast says) and our pipes have proven that overnight is enough to stop the water flow. I'm content to maintain 152.x for this round given the circumstances to start off. If I lose more, great! If not, maintenance is the goal. I've done well maintaining through the last 3 days so I feel confident I can manage going forward well enough.

Hello Friends!
Once upon a time I was a super successful weightloss person. With the help of Weight Watchers, and some belly dancing and a community group I think on caloriecount.com which is no longer a thing, I lost 100lbs after my yougest son was born. I convinced myself that I was maintaining for a few years even though my weight was slowing creeping up. He is now 9 and I've gained more than those 100 lbs back. I am turning 41 next week and after gaining 45lbs last year (when I wanted to lose weight), I know something has to give. So here I am. Doing my best. I am definitely experiencing perimenopause and have had a lot of success this week getting back on track. Exercising daily, and logging my food and staying within my calories. I usually try to weigh only once a week, but I will give this 10 days at a time challenge a try. Hoping to stay motivated. Thank you for being a safe space to share.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/16 …..183.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

01/17 -182.6- (Trend weight 181.8) I’m turning this weight around. I don’t feel like changing my colorful “cross off chart” on all my challenges and I don’t feel like changing my ticker. So I am going to have to stick to the plan if I want to be an honest woman. I’ve been doing well on my meals-it’s the snacks that I have to worry about. I think the main problem is that I am staying up too late which puts me hungry again so many hours after my dinner. I’ve mainly been sticking to “approved” snacks, but it’s still eating into my exercise calories on some days. I don’t want to maintain I want to lose, so I’ll have to work on bedtime. Good luck everyone this round. It’s our time to shine!

☃️🍎Ten More Days 🍎⛄️🐾

I’m a 65 year young Oregon gal working on getting rid of those last 5-8 pounds. Last round I hit my first goal of 135, now working to hit my next goal of 130. The plan this round continues to be a minimum of 10,000 steps 👣, 2-3 days a week at the gym🏋️‍♀️, logging ✏️ everyday with no snacking after 8:00, and limiting the 🍷to social events only. And of course guzzling the water 💧!!!

This round I would like to just end the round a little lower than I started.

Kelly, this was the goal I picked when I started in 2017! End the round with any number smaller than where I started. It’s an attainable goal and one that worked well for me. Keep it up!

@jdubay1018 We have no firm rules. If you want to weigh weekly, that’s okay. The scale police won’t hunt you down. Make this group what you need it to be. Personally, weighing dairy I discovered how my body reacts to different foods and that it can take 2-3 days for that to show on the scale. Welcome to the group!
