1/27 ⚖️ 131.4lbs
Yesterday:
✅ macros, cals, 🙆♀️,🚶♀️9.4k
NSVs:
1. Food no longer a “reward”.
2. Continue to see & feel small changes in my appearance.
3. Much more stamina, flexibility and energy.
Experimenting with new macros and kcals this round. Still want 129-130. It’s a psychological thing. Floating around 131–132 feels off -?like I’m on the brink or edge of gaining again… dunno. Maybe it’s just easier for me to “restrict” vs “do” during BAD weather? It’s clear I’m not as active in winter weather… so…. Adjust!
1/28 ⚖️131.6
Yesterday: ✅mac & kcals, 🙆♀️🤸🏼🏋️♀️🚶♀️💦 Great day. worked out in morn… and a perfect afternoon for 4.0 mi walk. Basic food day.
Today: Optimistic. Already got in my 30 min of ☕️ 🙆♀️🏋️♀️🤸🏼!!! (Up super early 3:15.) Weather forecast looks wonderful today & thru the weekend - 🌞 🎾 & outdoors for me!
1/29 ⚖️131.3🙆♀️🏋️♀️🤸🏼🚶♀️🎾💦🥩
Did it ALL! ✅ mac & kcals too😎
NSV: Had quite an emotional day that was “triggering” ice cream, ice cream, ice cream… Said OK-hold that thought…. let’s just eat the steak first and revisit that urge…
By the end of the steak, I didn’t crave the ice cream anymore. Was able to think through the “trigger”, and it just wasn’t worth it! THAT was a huge win!!! Boring yes, but a win! One ice cream wasn’t going to end my world, but it would’ve ended momentum, ketosis, put me back on square one for another week…. The victory tasted waaaayyyyy better than the ice cream!
Today: not sure yet but the weather is cooperating so I’ll be active.
1/30 ⚖️130.8 🙆♀️🚶♀️🎾💦🥩
✅macs & kcals
Wonderful to be outdoors! DGS spent night last two nights - what a treat! Positive day- taking advantage of gorgeous weather.
Today: 🙆♀️🎾🤸🏼🏋️♀️🚶♀️Another day outdoors. Food is planned.
1/31 ⚖️131.8 ✅🙆♀️🚶♀️🎾🥩
macros & kcals. Scale is up or down a pound like clock-work. Puff ball big-time this morning. Probably enjoyed outdoors a little too much. Played Tennis three hours and was feeling it last night. Thought I drank enough water yesterday, but I obviously didn’t … Woke up at 3am. Yuck.
Time for more 🏋️♀️🤸🏼today. Will play a little 🎾 … May also go for a walk want to take advantage of the ☀️😎.
NSV. I sincerely cannot remember the last time I ate a packaged food (bread, chips, protein bar, cookie, pasta-maybe June?)— anything not whole food (except hard cheese). I also make ketchup & mayo from scratch. And, it’s Mardi-Gras (King Cake) season here in Louisiana. (Basically bread sugar, sugar & more sugar). Last year I think I had a piece EVERY day from Jan-March. Not this year- and I don’t miss it! Thank GOD!
2/1 ⚖️131.8 ✅ macros & Kcals🙆♀️🎾🥩. Only 5.2k steps. Didn’t make time for walk in the afternoon. Hung around after tennis too long visiting,laughing & enjoying perfect weather. Lots of 💦.
Today: 🎾 this morn. Will conquer 🏋️♀️🤸🏼. Really must hit the “work-out”. Another nice day ahead!
NSV have stayed true to nutrition goals thru thick and thin the last few weeks. Emotional upheavals & circumstances beyond my control (that in the past) would have led me to an evening cocktail, chips & dip, snacking or huge portions. Intense worries for loved ones won’t be solved with a fork. I am starting to consistently conquer letting feelings pass long enough to delay reactions. This is benefiting my life far more than just food. Emotional maturity at 65?!?! Never too late. 😁

Health Journey
****************
I have always been on a “diet” since high school. I have never been comfortable with my body - no matter my weight.
Pre- college: 125-130lbs
College- 160lbs one year… graduated @130lbs.
1990 (Age 32) - Avg. 135 lbs
2001 (Age 43) - Avg 145 lbs
2010 (Age 52) HW 172 lbs
2020 (Age 62) Avg 130-135lbs
7/2023 (Age 64) 145lbs
1/2024 (Age 65) 130lbs
UGW = 130-132lbs ?
⬆️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. Always self-conscious.
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 again 7/15/23. 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 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.
As I age it becomes much, MUCH more difficult to lose weight. I could lose 15lbs easy in 8 weeks up to 2022 ish … 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.

I'm Julie, 35 years old, SAHM to two year old twins
RSW: 132.6
1/27: 132.5. Eating was good, went for a walk and a 3 mile run. We are going through a ROUGH sleeping phase with my boys. 3 night in a row that I got less than 5 hours of sleep. It's starting to get to me. I am determined to not let bad decisions creep in, but it's a lot harder when I am tired.
1/28: 134.4. I was feeling a bit dizzy yesterday so ate a little extra. It probably didn't have to include ice cream, but oh well. Went for a walk, no run
1/29: 134.1. I managed to stay within calories, but they included some McDonald's. Eating hasn't been great so far this round. Went for 2 walks and a 3 mile run.
1/30: 136.1. well this is going the wrong direction. I had a bit of extra salt yesterday and drank a little more water than usual, so I have no doubt it's water weight. No run, but did get a walk in. Food was under calories.
1/31: 133.3. Went for a walk, food was good. I was going to go to the gym, but when I got there, it was so packed the parking lot was full. I didn't feel like searching for a spot and then hoping a treadmill would be available, so I just went home. Probably not the best course of action, but it it what it is.
2/1: 132.6. Sleep has been terrible lately. Not sure why my boys aren't sleeping so well right now. I was under calories yesterday, but I ate pretty bad, as I didn't eat a lot, volume or quality. I woke up extra hungry today. Hoping I can keep food under control today. I have a lot going against me.

@itladyee thank you for asking ❤️. She is doing well after a long weekend of rest. This weekend we need to get her back out on the road as she swears she never wants to drive again. Part of me would be happy with that after the scare of this accident but part of me doesn't want to go back to driving her around everywhere again (I forgot how busy and involved she is after not having to drive her from place to place anymore) 🤪
I feel her... I can't imagine how scary the thought of driving must be. BUT...you are correct, she has to drive again. She will get her confidence back! Thanks for the update!3 -

Happy Saturday! Mine will be crazy, running to a friend’s house several times to let two of her dogs out while she’s off at a dog show with #3 and her hubby is driving one of the little Shriner cars at the circus all day. In between I’m going to take my first stab at a full groom of Charlie by myself. I show groomed Aussies for decades, but Cocker Spaniel coiffures are a whole new world, what with clippers. Eek! I hope I don’t butcher him too much. Wish me luck!
1/28 - 192.4
Salt. My calories were on target, but we ordered enchiladas for dinner and they tasted salty to me. It’s fine, I’ll just drink lots of water today. It’s snowing to beat the band right now, so other than a dog walk, I’m planning a cozy day at home. Enjoy your Sunday, all!
1/29 - 193
Yikes! 😳 Has to be delayed residual from Saturday. It’s ok, I’ll get rid of it.
1/30 - 192
I was planning a walk this morning, but it’s sleeting and there’s a thin layer of ice on everything, so guess my exercise will be some light cleaning, another stab at dog grooming, and then knitting—I’m making DH a sweater he requested (which he’s never done before) and have just one sleeve and the neck band to do. Then back to the cardigan I’m knitting for myself. 😊🧶
1/31 - 192.6
Sigh. But I did snack a little last night, so not unexpected. I haven’t completely finished trimming Charlie, but I did pretty well with his furry little face. 😊
2/01 - 192.6
I had a major calorie blowout yesterday so expected a spike—it will no doubt come tomorrow or Saturday. Back on track today.

~ Back on track-ish
~ My daughter is on a very strict diet to correct her EOE. No wheat, soy, milk, eggs are some of the big ones. It has been a very trying time in our house. Like ..what the hell do we eat!? The answer so far is: Meat, potatoes, rice and vegetables. No butter, no ranch on the side. This is a very difficult concept for my teenager to grasp. - Mon 01/29🔴180.5;+1lbs
~ 4 more macadamia nut cookies and they’re gone and out of the house! (Until he makes more from the batch). My husband likes to put us down for cookie dough every time my nephews are sponsoring a school fundraiser.. not very helpful having those around the house...

02/01 - 152.6 - Yeah.... I went a little overboard. I had 127g net carbs yesterday because I splurged on a treat. Oops. I did walk the dogs before dinner, though, which was a task I wasn't 100% convinced I could manage in the visible light timeframe. Fortunately I wasn't starving before dinner so I could take the extra time before cooking. Today I woke up and knocked out a 10 minute upper body immediately followed by a 10 minute lower body strength workout (via Peloton because I couldn't be bothered to do it without external guidance/motivation). I finished up with a 15 minute full body stretch before walking the dogs. I might have to do an additional lower body stretch sometime today, I'm feeling a bit of soreness seeping into these legs and I have a run scheduled for tomorrow. I had a bacon, egg, cheese sandwich (low carb bread) for breakfast. Lunch is leftover keto eggplant lasagna, and dinner is salmon with steamed broccoli (with a small sprinkling of sharp cheddar cheese), and garlic parmesan zoodles (zucchini noodles). BF will be home tonight, his plane is scheduled to land 730 so he should be home about 9. I do have work tomorrow so I'll be up early to knock out my run before work meetings.

Previous Day's Comments01/27
01/28
01/29 - Happy to have dropped back off to the 151 range. Yesterday was a good low carb day though both BF and I were quite peckish all afternoon. We managed, though. He's leaving here in the next 15 or so minutes and will be gone until after dinner Thursday so I'm on my own. I have a solid low-waste menu for myself (including leftovers, which he doesn't eat) this week. The weather looks as though it will be good to resume my running starting tomorrow. Today was a Peloton ride due to an early meeting for work. My knee is a little sore, but not painful so I'm hoping I'll know by tomorrow if today's ride irritated it enough to avoid a run (especially now I'm home alone with no-one to rescue me) or if I feel good enough to take it easy and adjust (walk) if necessary to get through. Normal eating day but only dinner has a surplus of carbs in the form of potato gnocchi. Lunch is a low carb eggplant lasagna (with leftovers for a low carb day). I've never tried eggplant before so this will allow me to hit my yearly goal of "try one new thing" early.
01/30 - I'm delighted with this negligible change after a normal eating day yesterday. I kept it mindful, tracked, and was low carb other than dinner. I also took the dogs for a second walk after dinner which was delightful. My first time trying eggplant wasn't too bad either. It was a bit bitter in certain bites but I read that sometimes soaking them in salt will help with bitterness found in store-bought eggplants which I didn't do. For the most part, the remainder of the dish hid the eggplant so well I forgot I was even eating it! I will eat that again on Thursday for lunch. Chicken and gnocchi was for dinner (the carb meal) and the leftovers will be eaten Wednesday for lunch. I added in a bit more spinach to give it some extra nutrients, too. Today is air fried garlic parmesan chicken skewers for lunch but I forgot to buy the skewers themselves! I'll make chicken chunks instead in the same manner and have my planned side salad with it. Dinner is keto taco salad with the leftover ground venison from yesterday's lasagna. For breakfast I had zero-carb street taco tortillas to make 2 breakfast burritos with egg, bacon, spinach, and salsa. Delightful and only 5g net carbs, coffee with atkins shake as creamer included! Today I did attempt a run. I used the Peloton outdoor guided run and it took me through 3 different "workouts" as an introductory (endurance, progression, and intervals to give us a taste of what options there are available I guess). I'll have to dig a little deeper into classes if I choose to do an outdoor run again to be sure I don't choose a beginner class - it's mostly about introducing Peloton's methods (which is great!) but I just want a nice run with a little voice telling me I can do it every now and again haha Today is beautiful so windows open! I'm hoping to take the dogs for a second walk (took them after my run this morning) after dinner if I can get done cooking and eating before it gets too dark to head out for some extra fresh air.
01/31 - The scale flashed 150.x a few times and it got me feeling quite excited to be this close again. Hopefully I can hold on to that. I ran today, 2.25 miles in 30 minutes before walking the dogs. Hoping to take them for a second walk this evening. Likely before dinner this time, due to the longer cook time and it likely being too dark once I finish cooking and eating. I'm having leftover creamy chicken and gnocchi (from Monday) for lunch and a single-serving spinach manicotti with a side of baked parmesan green beans for dinner. For breakfast I had avocado toast (on low-carb bread) for the first time ever. So good! I added some grape tomatoes which I sauteed in olive oil a bit and topped with an over easy egg. I added some raw baby spinach to one slice to see if I preferred one or the other. Both great! Spinach made it a tad messier to eat, but I enjoyed it tremendously anyway. Overall today, if I stick to my plan, I'll be under 100g net carbs on a "normal" eating day which I'm happy about. Strength workout planned for tomorrow and my final solo meals - assuming all goes well, BF will get home about 9pm.

01/30 -181.2- (Trend weight 183.0)
01/31 -181.6- (Trend weight 182.9) Uptick due to the out-of-town yesterday. Today I will zig-zag a lower calorie day and lots of water to help flush it all away. Today I await the news from my older friend on her pet scan. They found a mass the size of an orange on her lung recently and have been testing her bones and her brain to see if it has metastasized and to stage her cancer. Her two daughters are with her today and she will find out her options, if any. I’m praying for good news but in the last 3 months she has broken her hip and then fell again and broke her pelvic which is inoperable. She also has many small blood clots in her lungs they’ve been treating for about a year. To sit and speak with her, you wouldn’t even know that anything is wrong, she still seems pretty healthy so I’m just so confused. Please pray for Diana H.
02/01 -183.4- (Trend weight 183.0) WTH? I did NOT expect this. Could it be the travel & restaurant from two days ago? Could it be the birthday celebration complete with cake/ice cream catching up? Could it be day 2 of no TMI? Could it be the worst sleep last night that I’ve had in years? Maybe it’s all one big ball of wax (or fat) all rolled up into one. In any case, I feel cheated when I probably shouldn’t. Looks like I’ll be spending the rest of this challenge chasing my own tail. I have partial news on my friend Diana—her pet scan and bone density scans came back that her tumor is isolated in her lung. Next stop will be a needle biopsy through the back and then an oncologist to find out exact staging, type of lung cancer, treatment options if any and prognosis. They have already said it was cancer so the biopsy is to further identify. I was so happy to hear it hasn’t metastasized but there is still a lot up in the air. Please continue to keep her in your prayers.

Hi, I'm Charissa
Thank you, QuiltingJaine, for keeping us focused in 2024!
So here we go 2024... my motto -
🏋🏾♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
Goals this round:
- Tracking/Under Calorie Budget 🍎
- Macros - hit Protein ✅
- Water - 64oz minimum 💧
- Closing my rings M-F🚶🏽
This is a critical round for me. I stalled at the end of last round which messes with my mind. I'm approaching where my body likes to "live" ~ 213.
I will focus on my 4 goals and try to ignore the scale!

2/1: 216.8 🍎✅💧🚶🏽Calorie, Protein macro hit, Water 80 ounces and rings closed. Superfecta! And the scale rewarded me with a gain!! (But I was over in carbs)... That's ok...we know weight loss is not linear and I had more water than I've had in a while so my body is probably thinking...there's won't be more..so hang on to this!🙂 On track for another 80 today!

@Leigh_b sorry to hear about the accident but glad to hear your daughter is okay. Even though she may be fine physically, it may take some time psychologically for her to recover. She may need time to process the cause of the accident and reflect on why it happened. I witnessed an accident a while ago and that was enough to make me want to stop driving. I started out by doing only short, slow speed drives around the block and worked my way up from there. It took a few months before I was comfortable driving again. I agree that getting back to driving is a good idea but it could take a while for her to do all types of driving again. Perhaps even if you help her out in the short term, try to encourage her to do at least short, slow drives every few days after she has physically recovered.
@deepwoodslady sending lots of prayers for Diana.5 -

I am going to focus on eating 3 meals per day and staying within my calorie budget. For exercise, I will focus on getting 22 active minutes per day. I also need to keep showing up here no matter what the scale says!
SW RND 249 : 162.9 lbs
1/27 : 163.8 lbs Well I am disappointed in myself. I ate more pizza than I had planned. My kids help DH make the pizza and it is the one night I have off cooking each week. At the time, I felt like I had to show that I appreciated their efforts. I know that was just an excuse I used to justify it to myself at the time. I can of course tell them how much I appreciate their effort and not let them get in to the cycle of needing to see people overeat the food they make as proof that they have cooked well.
1/28 : 163.1 lbs
1/29 : 162.9 lbs I slept terribly after having my first coffee in almost 1 month. I give up coffee whenever I need to lose weight because it seems to slow my progress. It's probably because I have a lot of milk with my coffee and I have a habit of wanting something sweet with it. I have only black tea instead but gosh the coffee I had yesterday was good.
1/30 : 163.8 lbs I had a hungry day and ate at maintenance.
1/31 : 164.7 lbs
2/1 : 163.8 lbs I have had a rough couple of days but I am back on track again today.
