Day, Weight, Comment
9/13 - 150.7 - I behaved yesterday but had a bit of a splurge the day before that's likely just showing up. I've maintained my water goal of 1 gallon every day this week and have been overall good with food. I'm also hitting new records with my workouts and increased weight on at least 1 exercise a day every day except yesterday (Thursday - fitness class) so I could be building muscle/retaining water from the muscle building. Not too worried about it, I'm not looking super puffy or like I'm gaining fat - at least not in the most obvious/first place which is my tummy pooch. I'm still in a deficit even with my increased macros and likely will be until about the time I leave for vacation if we increase the same pace we decreased. I'm okay with that! I'll be traveling Monday-Wednesday next week so I'll be gone the first half of this round as weekends are typically hard for me to get on and this weekend is super busy compared to normal. Good luck, everyone!

I went on a bike ride this morning and I feel fantastic, full of energy and happy. The weather was perfect (clear and no wind), and I pushed myself so that my average speed was higher. Anyway, my first biker's high of the year.

Chapter_3

EPIPHANY

I have to get out of the excuse mode and into the solutions mode… I know that I am in a place where I want more transformation via healthier habits! It means bold new habits and hard work. It means shutting down the old excuses & in with the new #HSF vision - it means acknowledging I’m stuck @ a plateau… and I want to move forward AGAIN. What are my limiting beliefs? I need to get into the solutions-oriented mindset mode.

I deserve the gift of knowing my fullest potential. WE ALL DO! And I know that I am not there. I’m pretty darn close, but I’m not there! I want more. It takes getting honest, bold and courageous.

132lbs is pretty damn good for a 65 year young 5’6” gal and I am probably in the top 5 - 10% of my “grade” here in the USA. For over a year I have said that I want to float between 128–130 and have a “hard” body (or just a little bit harder). But what I really want is more balance/ flexibility / agility… Which also means being stronger and more tone. I am declaring, SHOUTING that this is my goal. My last “Inbody” was a HUGE win… I had all the momentum, and then lost focus… I have digressed. I’ve lost the plot. Granted, just a small digression, but I have to recognize that it’s time to PUSH forward again! I simply have not reached my destination (new home) because I am languishing in “pretty good” and not what’s best. I want my BEST! Now JGMTD R272 - to re-start /refresh and move forward!

If I am honest, I am not even trying to lose weight. Only half the family was home for dinner so I made pancakes! I have never served up such an unhealthy dinner. Reading the latest comments from this round is helping me refocus. Thank you to everyone who shows up everyday and posts here.

@Chapter_3 Reading your posts is like looking in a mirror. I have been bouncing between 133-135 for a bit now, with my goal being 128-130. I’m also 65 and know it is within reach to hit my goal, if only….

We can do this!

🍎🍏10 more days🍏🍎

Time to get back to the basics that I know can work for me… logging, movement, water and limited snacks. Consistency matters!

SW RND 272 134.4

9/13. 134.3. Have surpassed my step goal for the day and it is only 3:00. So more to come! Plus I made it to the gym and am on track to be well inside my calories today. Just need to push some more water. And remain consistent throughout this 10 day challenge!

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 272 (my 202nd). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.

This round will be a challenge as we are on holiday in Spain for the whole 10 days, eating in the hotel for 2 meals per day & not being in control of food preparation is always difficult to calculate calories. I CAN do it again if I remain strong.
Goals for this round;
• First and foremost, no feeding frenzies
• to try not to gain!
I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.

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.

Updated 20.08.24 – I met up with DB, first time after his DP passed away at the way too early age of 46. DB lives a long way from us, we see him very infrequently & is very introvert, so not a sharer of info 😞. However, he finally opened up to me, it seems that his DP's bad health leading to heart failure followed by kidney, liver failure & then a massive stroke, was originally caused by heavy drinking. By the time he realised he was abusing his body and went teetotal, the damage was too late to reverse. He was on the list for a heart transplant, but his other organs gave up before one became available.
This has made me think about how I am abusing my body when I have binges with way too much sugar, fat & salt. I know I am a food addict. I'm going to try to think about this when I am tempted to over indulge, I need to start respecting my body more and think about whether I want to be in the best health I can be. My body has served me so well for 66 years, it deserves to be given the best chance to keep serving me well & I've been really lucky that life has not dealt me a raw health deal, so jeopardize that luck.

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 two grandsons. We have two parents, 87(mother), 85(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!

Day/Weight/Comment

9/13 – 135.6 This actually really annoys me. Calories were within 1 calorie of target, and there was even a little over estimating that I went ahead an left. I did do upper body weights for the first time in years, but no notable muscle soreness that might have associated fluid retention. As previously mentioned, my nutritional profile is different than in the past rounds, and I am taking some supplements with an eye to bone health. I’ll give it the full round 272 doing what I am doing before spending time changing what I am doing as IMO it will work.

9/14 – 134.8 Ok, at least I am back to where I started. Digestive system feeling better today. I need to go look back at yesterday’s diary and see what I did

@SModa61 and @Chapter_3 : Thanks for the encouraging words, it's so easy to revert! Last time I spiraled, I ignored the scale and kept eating whatever was in the house (literally) for the whole 25 lbs.
No no no...
@blueberries59: there have been many a box of Triscuits on my hips...

I joined this group in Rnd 245 on Dec 18 2023, when I realized I was eating my way through the holidays; I finally got on the scale and was hovering just under 150 lbs. It took about 4 months to reach my goal weight of 125. Sounds great, but I’ve done this before, which is why I’m still here.
It’s not just about losing, it’s about changing the habits of a lifetime that keep me stuck in self-defeating cycles with food.

No gain last night, despite visiting BF (Aperol Spritz in honor of my trip) and DD#2's Friday Happy Hour (veggies and hummus, 2 glasses of wine). Last time this fall as we'll be at football games from now till Thanksgiving. Today to my brother's house in CT to do fall yardwork, back Mon AM.

No scale tomorrow, I can trust myself to do the right thing. This is the round I'll take it back.

Mission: Continuously improve daily habits that strengthen a “Healthy, Strong & Fit” identity.

About Me & R272 Commitments:
********************************

F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean P:E (ProteinG> (Cg+Fg) A clean/whole food WOE- (🚫processed foods). Track macros, all fitness and NSVs. I’ve had an unhealthy relationship with food my entire life.

HW 172lbs in 2010. Lost 30lbs in 2014. Crazy🎢 for 10years. Joined JGMTD R231 7/31/23. Lost 15lbs 8/1 -11/23. Said goodbye FOREVER to the 🎢! I’ve named my journey “#HSF”
& On my way to
📣#bestshapeofmylife

👇🏻Sept Level Up (Down) Plan
***************************
I pledge to prioritize each of these #HSF choices EVERY DAY of Sept:

1. P:E: Proteing greater than 1:1 vs. Energy g. [Pg > (Cg+Fg)] (and kcals = avg. maintenance).I will continue this nutrition plan through July. It is supposed to support muscle gain with fat loss while 🏋🏼‍♀️🤸🏼‍♀️ 🎾. I will continue to track NSVs/macros/ activities, etc. to learn about my body.
2. 🙏📝📚🧐 - I will continue to pray, journal, research. This is my aspect of “leveling up” because I am nothing without my relationship w/Jesus Christ. I’ve also grown into loving/enjoying learning about my body & healthy aging. Replacing BAD habits w/ GOOD habits is a journey in itself. This practice helps me stay present /mindful of many decisions/ thoughts/ actions that impact not only nutrition, but improves self-talk & interactions w/others.
3. 🏋🏼‍♀️this is my biggest challenge. I still don’t like it. Not one bit. I have some days that it clicks, but it’s a daily struggle. Living “fake it till I make it”… Faking my “identity”. My hope is that some 🏋️‍♀️version eventually becomes a healthy habit. I’m working on a minimum of 10-minute “🏋🏼‍♀️snacks” 2-3x per day, 5x per week. Gosh, how I wish someone, ANYONE would have told me in my earlier years that 🏋🏼‍♀️is the key to fat-loss / maintaining - NOT cardio. I was brainwashed.
4. Healthy Aging - includes mobility, flexibility, balance and agility. While I do stretch every morning plus “stretch snacks”… I want to up this game… I will start to add “sprints” (which is NOW only fast jogging… 😂) and plyometrics (celebrating a 2” vertical jump) 😂. I read to “sprint” is vital as we age…..
5. I have much “work” to do with family relationships. Won’t detail here, but it’s a challenge & my overall health will not flourish without this being acknowledged and improved. Mind, body & spirit are connected. I won’t be fully content until I reconcile this part of my life.
6. Sleep- This is a big one. I’m usually fast asleep by 8:30-9PM. I can’t stay up later…. I love getting up early. I’m good with a 5AM wake up but I want to sleep soundly through the night. Will continue to prioritize this key component to health and well-being…
7. Have fun… lighten up … & give myself permission to be spontaneous. (This is THE HARDEST)!!!!

👇🏻Review since my 1st R231 7/31/23 NSVs/Journey Reflections
******************

1. ✅HSF: Avg. close to 9k steps per day for 11+ mos. Not bad. It’s no longer a “daily goal” because it’s now a daily healthy habit - #HSF 👏🏻🤩
2. ✅#HSF: 🙆‍♀️ Daily stretch greatly improving my attitude & confidence.
3. ✅ #HSF 📝 🙏 everyday
4. ✅#HSF: I play 🎾about 4-5x per week.
5. ✅#HSF : Z2 💕avg 60 min/day
6. ✅#HSF : zero to 15g of net carbs/ day
7. ✅Clean P:E 115-130g Protein
8. ✅#HSF Naturally IF 18/6. Eating window=noon to 6PM. (At least 5 days/wk)
9. ✅#HSF 💦80oz daily
10. ✅#HSF Alcohol limited to rare occasions.
11. 7 to 8 hours sleep per night is a goal. Sleep is still inconsistent the last few rounds…

Staying in the present moment is key to mental health and healthy choices.

Rotating 120g to 130g of protein per day is now a non-negotiable. In my dreams, I want to be 130lbs #HSF … 😎 I want to be Healthy, Strong & Fit to live out “Chapter 3” enjoying a full range of mobility, flexibility & activities… !

9/13 131.4 Awful sleep last night. Bummer.
I feel like I’m on one of those bouncy gyms!
Solid day w/ 14k steps. Will spend today in reflection, prayer and creating the determined mindset for #HSF. I will start to actively show myself some TLC. I 💯 know that when I’m off-kilter it’s related to my sleep patterns…. I’m tired. And when I’m tired, I lose pretty much all of my joy. Today will be a slow start but I’ll get with it! Let’s do this yall!!!!

For me, if I just returned from an amazing trip, it would take me several weeks to re-enter… Rest up, and you will be you (your true identity) soon. I view your “recognition” as an NSV. A few small, similar wins and you’re BACK! If I am off a day, or two, or three, I think to myself… “Oh, *kitten*! Do not go back!!!” DO NOT! Yes, a mind-game and a mindset. Today will be a solid day

#HSF mindset engaged. Focusing on personal integrity and the process. (Keep my word to myself with ZERO excuses!) I will do this for 10 days!

Wonderful day yesterday! My “Epiphany” gave me energy and direction.

My little bodybuilder 🏋️‍♀️emoji represents functional strength training… Not full traditional weight lifting, although I incorporate 10, 15 and 20 lb weights. I also focus on using my own body weight and calisthenics. Will fine-tune these exercises. I’m good with my current macros and PE ratio commitments although will lower fatg a bit - Looking forward!

Rnd 271 End Weight 171.0

9/13- DNW
9/14- DNW I did much better eating yesterday. My plan of keeping busy worked so my lunch was very late. I skipped dinner since when I went to order I realized I wasn’t actually hungry. I normally feel obligated to eat when the family is eating (ahem, let’s not unpack my lifetime of food issues this morning)
Skipped is the wrong word- I replaced dinner with two margaritas!!! I made them with half seltzer so not as bad as it sounds.
I took a great class at the local Y yesterday and am heading off to try another. Everyone here sleeps late so I’ve learned to just do my thing while visiting.
I’m craving a giant healthy salad for a mid day meal. My goal is to make that happen!

SW RND 272: 135.0
GW RND 272: 133.5 (dare I set this goal? I think I can do it if I stay focused)
UGW: 125 and evaluate from there
Non-scale goals for round 272 (tracked for the prior day each morning):
🏃🏻‍♀️(cardio) or 🏋🏻‍♀️ (lift) 7/10 days
🚫 no alcohol 5/10 days
📝 track 6/10 days
⏱️ intermittent fasting (16:8) 7/10 days

9/13 - 134.2 🏃🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️ ⏱️ Set some extra goals for this round. Not starting too ambitious yet but these things should help me stay on track. I did drink yesterday and failed to track my intake. But I went for a run and lifted weights at least! I didn’t snack at least. Today I’ll just power walk the dogs, and my 3 year old asked me to e-bike him to school, so I did. That’s very light cardio but it’s more than I get while driving!

9/14 - 132.8 🏃🏻‍♀️⏱️ Didn’t make many of my non-scale goals. I’ve always been a procrastinator 😅 My loss today is at least partially dehydration due to alcohol. I drank more than I’d planned when a friend popped by after dinner. Ugh. Not sure what activity will be today but I’m hoping to squeeze something in around kid activities!

@SModa61 and @Chapter_3 : Thanks for the encouraging words, it's so easy to revert! Last time I spiraled, I ignored the scale and kept eating whatever was in the house (literally) for the whole 25 lbs.
No no no...
@blueberries59: there have been many a box of Triscuits on my hips...

@judefit1 I can totally relate to what you described. Part of why my goal is to weigh every day is because there is direct correlation between my lifestyle choices and my willingness to step on the scale. If I try to keep pushing the scale, that will at least, hopefully, catch my reversions faster. My other correlation has become, am I showing up here in "JGMTD".

@chapter_3 I just got to keep focusing on making those healthy choices, and be in for the long haul. Scale will do what it will do.

BTW, all, I got out and did a nice walk this morning. Felt good. I need to remember that is does feel good and that I enjoy it. Just another bump to get over.

Thank you, @quiltingjaine !

9/13 - 198.2/198
This uptick of 1.8 in one day makes absolutely no sense. I’m officially depressed about it.

9/14 - 198/197.9
I did some “consolation eating” last night. Not too bad, but more than optimum. I’ll do better today.

Sep 14 - 168.8 - I was all over the place last round. I didn't post every day. I had 2 bad days for every 1 good day. I missed the start of this round yesterday. I hope everyone has a good round!

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