    Love the Saturday morning posts, everybody.

    @Smoda61 I can't give you enough hugs because the system only allows one. My big sister did the bulk of this same job when we lost our mother 35 years ago, and I was home working with a 1 year old, having spent all my vacation time with Mom when she was sick. Now I'm helping my niece clear that very same sister's house who died last March. I miss her so much! It's a heart wrenching job. More hugs for you!

    @pettycoatjunction - congrats on one year anniversary here at JGMTD!

    @Chapter_3 - that graph says it all. This community works!

    I actually have no idea what I’m doing. Do I have to add a new post each time or am I doing it wrong

    Welcome! I believe we all started out feeling unsure about how to post. Make it what you want it to be. Some post daily, some on a more hit or miss basis.

    I think most of us keep a running “note” we add to daily on phone or computer. Mine is in my iPhone. I add to it daily then copy and paste to the board. On the messages, your device SHOULD pick up where you left off. When you post you have 1 hour to edit that pos, if you want to.

    @SModa61: so hard that you have to do this cleaning out- I hope you have help and support through it, I remember how physically and emotionally strenuous that job is. Sending hugs....

    @judefit1 Doing it mostly alone. One sister (west coast) does not visit long enough to be helpful unless time is taken away from visiting with my mother (she flys in on a thursday, leaves tuesday and Maine is almost a 3 hr drive each way, so 2 day minimum from here). Other sister has no interest and not offered, despite the fact it is her family that are the only people other than my parents who have used the property in over 20 years. Hubby has helped, but he is beyond frustrated with the whole thing and why we are the ones doing it all alone. So I try and keep involving him to a minimum. He was great sorting the three SUV worth of papers inside a vacation home. I am so motivated to get rid of my own cr@p after all this. I guess that is a good thing. Right? :P

    I know the feeling of clearing out all ones own rubbish, when I cleared DD, DA & MIL's homes, I was determined my kids would not have to do that, but after 4 years I still haven't 'got around' to doing it all! They still have stuff in our house too which every now and again I take some of it up to them! It's a slow and difficult job, what do you throw, what do you keep, a life time of memories and sentiments!

    @_JeffreyD_ Beautiful picture! I would love to go to Europe but I can’t see that happening. I live vicariously through all of the travelers here.

    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.

    We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

    Beautiful!! Thanks for sharing! I’ve loved watching the travels from this group the past few weeks. I haven’t made it to Europe in ages but hopefully we can get out there ourselves eventually. Meanwhile, I appreciate seeing photos like yours and I think Italy photos from @judefit1 as well!

    In for another round. 60 year old female, 5’8”.
    Goal for this round is 199.2 (3 pound loss).

    END OF LAST ROUND- 202.2


    OCTOBER 3 — 202.4. (up .2)
    OCTOBER 4 — 200.8. (Down 1.6 this round)
    OCTOBER 5 — 199.6 (down 2.8 this round)
    Working until noon today and then we have a wedding a couple of hours away this afternoon so no time for a workout. And I have no idea what meal they are serving. Hopefully I won’t go crazy.

    RND 274 SW: 238.8
    RND 274 GW: 234

    EOY Goal: 210

    Daily diet: <1600 calories | <80g net carbs | 100+ oz water | 25+g fiber | 100+g protein
    Weekly exercise: 2+ cardio-based workouts | 2+ strength training | 5+ walks (1 mile minimum)
    Misc: 8-10 hours of sleep | daily food tracking | weekly body measurements

    I'll admit that I overate while out with friends last night. I think I selected wisely though (dolmades), and I'm okay with that. We're celebrating our 18th wedding anniversary tomorrow, so I'm already planning my calorie budget for that. Other than being slightly bloated and freaking exhausted this morning, it's going to be a great Saturday!

    10/3 238 / Homecoming shopping with a hormonal 17-year-old counts as a workout, right? - 1210 calories, 56 net carbs
    10/4 237.4 / Weight training this morning with Zumba and a walk this evening - 1788 calories, 80 net carbs
    10/5 238 / Recovery day! Nothing planned other than a long walk this evening

    Achieved my daily goals.

    10/4: 160.9 lbs
    Didn't exercise but did stick to my calories. I must be dropping a lot of water at the moment. If I end this round at this weight I will be happy. When I have bigger drops in weight though, I tend to self-sabotage. I will have to be extra vigilant if I want this weight to stick.

    10/5: 162.7 lbs
    Yes well I did anticipate this would happen. I ate chips, cake and pizza. It didn't help that we had friends drop in. There is something about seeing other people eat that makes me want to eat. And these friends eat a lot so if course I ate a lot too. I had a good time though.

    @blueberries59 @musicsax Thanks both! My daughter made an interesting comment yesterday, which was that it was amazing how much my parents managed to collect despite the fact it was mostly collected prior to point and click amazon deliveries. As she put it, they actually had to go out and buy all this stuff. I am actually just about to go work on a small closet this evening that my husband has pointed out has stuff in it we have never used since moving in in 2021. He is right, and if I/we just keep on top of each small space, we will hopefully keep things in control.

    ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 193.4

    10/03 -DNW- (Trend weight -DNW-)

    10/04 -DNW- (Trend weight -DNW-) It’s no-weigh Friday for me. I was up extra early as the bus for DGS comes even earlier than last year. Missed the bus at the beginning of the year so I am trying to readjust schedule. Boy is it ever tough trying to get long sleeves and jackets on him with that cast on his arm! This cooler weather is calling for warmer clothing for sure. Last Friday my DD brought in ice cream since it was payday. I hope she will keep her money in her pocket this week. It’s not likely though. Trying to stay strong! Have a good weekend everyone!

    10/05 -193.6- (Trend weight -193.6-) Wow what a busy Saturday! I didn’t get a chance to post until now but I did remember to weigh in this morning which showed me a smidgen up. I traveled out of town today with my 5 yr old and 6 yr old DGS’s to see Wild Robot at the movies. It was a very good movie and the boys really enjoyed it. They are cousins and it’s always nice when they can spend some time together as they live in two different counties. Breakfast was at home and simple. Linner was out and above my normal limits. I expect the scale will be up tomorrow from fluid and extra calories too.

    🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 274 (my 204th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.

    This round takes me up to travelling again, this time to Turkey to visit DB. Just want to lose something before I go!
    Goals for this round;
    • First and foremost, no feeding frenzies
    • to lose!
    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 DPs 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 overindulge, 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 I must not jeopardize that luck.

    @deepwoodslady how fun for you and your DGSs! My whole family LOVED Wild Robot, especially the 5 year old. During one very active scene he said to me “I was so into the movie I forgot I was at the theater!”

    RND 274 - JGMTD #44
    Mission: Continuously improve daily habits that strengthen a “Healthy, Strong & Fit” identity.
    #HSF 📣#bestshapeofmylife📣
    #helpfulhabits

    About Me & R274 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 maintenance journey “#HSF” & on my way to
    📣#bestshapeofmylife

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

    1. P:E: Proteing greater than 1:1 vs. Energy g. [Pg > (Cg+Fg)] (and cals = avg. maintenance).I will continue this nutrition plan. 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 added “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 12+ 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 135g of protein per day is now a non-negotiable. In my dreams, I want to be 128- 130lbs #HSF … 😎 I want to be Healthy, Strong & Fit to live out “Chapter 3” enjoying a full range of mobility, flexibility & activities… !

    10/3 ⚖️132.0.
    Up solid 2lbs since 7/3/24 (R264) after a month of consistent 129-130. This is the slow creep. Didn’t sleep well. Will reflect, journal & establish non-scale 🏋️‍♀️⏱️🚶‍♀️📚💤 goals for this round (JGM10 days!!!!) today. Re-commit to P:E WOE. Want stable ⚖️130lbs. 💪🏻#HSF
    Good luck all!

    10/4 ⚖️130.6 Had to weigh three times to believe it.
    ✅ 🏋️‍♀️15min 🚶‍♀️11k⏱️HIIT 💦📚 💤8hrs. P:E 3:1, Pg 137. Yes!!!!

    ⚖️-total surprise this morning… Am I simply going to have one to 2 lb fluctuations day-in day-out? -I guess that’s what’s going on? Geez Louise!

    I did have an incredible day yesterday… I reflected, read, created a plan to work on sprints and plyo during my walk-then DID IT! I adjusted my Apple Watch for intervals and it’s easy to measure & track. I set up one 7 minute HIIT with 20 second work and 40 second recover. When I got to the park, I did two of these… I must look like a total fool! My sprint is hardly a “true sprint” & plyo is hardly true “jumps” but at least I’m doing it. This is ground zero! Im actually motivated to start & track these movements with proven benefits.

    P:E - increased protein, reduced “Energy” significantly: lowered fat & only 2 carbs yesterday. (I did have to drink some of my protein to reach those levels).

    Forced myself to 🏋️‍♀️. This journey requires a great deal of self-discipline…. As life. I’m discovering that I enjoy working toward something… It must be defined. #HSF

    NSV: Actually, DOING what I said I would DO is one of the best feelings in the world!

    Supposed to play tennis today, but it just started raining so I’ll substitute. I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but yesterday was the perfect kick start to a great round!

    10/5 131.0
    ✅ 🏋️‍♀️25min 📚 5💤hrs. P:E 1.7:1, Pg 117g
    ⚖️swings are my normal. All day rain 🚫🚶‍♀️. Ate late. Disrupted sleep. Almost DNW because we ate late, slept poorly & woke up puffy. … I could’ve done HIIT inside, but I opted not to because once again, I got distracted with being inside. Rainy days certainly bring the blues… Ate late.

    Today: DGS soccer could be cancelled (rain) but if not:
    🏋️‍♀️⏱️🚶‍♀️📚💤. I will not get distracted today!

    October is our birthday month. Hubby has a big one (70!) & I’ll turn 66. We have five celebrations planned so far with two more in planning stages… I will stay vigilant this month. We had planned a one week trip to the smoky mountains, but canceled for obvious reasons. Now a “staycation”. Praying for Helene victims and volunteers.

    I'm Amanda, in for another round!

    SW RND 274: 135.0
    GW RND 274: 133.5 (same goal as last 2 rounds :neutral: )
    UGW: 125 and evaluate from there
    Non-scale goals for round 274 (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) 5/10 days

    10/3 - 134.2 ⏱️🚫 I never did get my rear in gear yesterday. I'm feeling overwhelmed with everything. We just have a boil water notice in my town but even that is making everything feel just a touch harder. When I was making dinner last night I kept accidentally rinsing produce in the sink, and with a kitchen full of dishes we had to take them outside to hose them off with well water after we washed them in the sink. Today I think we're ordering in but I don't necessarily trust restaurants to be doing the right thing to avoid customers getting sick. In the grand scheme I know it isn't a big deal and so many people are going through such a bad experience. Sometimes I feel like I lack resilience and just always fill my life to capacity so that one extra little thing sends me over the edge. This is reminding me to schedule a therapy session, yeesh. But it just feels like all the other things I need to do are getting on top of me. I couldn't even find clean socks for my kids this morning and I work from home, so putting clothes through the wash is objectively VERY EASY.

    On to health stuff, I'm on dog walking duty today but I also really need to go to the gym and lift. Hopefully I can do both. Work is also overwhelming me but at least I don't have meetings today.

    10/4 - 135.0 ⏱️🏃🏻‍♀️I was doing so well getting to the gym for lifting until this week. I don't think I'm going to make it today either. On the positive side, I e-biked both my boys to their schools this morning so I got some light activity and outdoor time in to start the day. One of our neighbors started a "bike bus" where kids gang up and bike to school together on the trail behind her house. There's definitely safety in numbers when it comes to biking so I'm all for it. My 5-year-old can't quite bike the hills so for now I'll carry him on my bike. It will just be once a week or so. Nervous heading into the weekend. Dinner tonight is likely from a food truck at an event we're going to. And tomorrow is a big pot luck at a local-ish farm we buy produce from. It's always just hard in general because I have less control over meal times and places when I have to consider the rest of my family for the whole day instead of just in the evenings.

    10/5 - 134.2 📝 Didn’t meet many non-scale goals but stayed on track relatively well. Have to decide what to take to a potluck tonight. Have a great Saturday everyone!

    10/6 - 134.4 🏃🏻‍♀️⏱️ The potluck on the farm last night was lovely with old time fiddlers and just incredibly delicious food. People didn’t hold back their talent in the kitchen! I brought a tortellini salad with some vegetable from their farm and some herbs from mine. I tried a few too many things but it was hard to resist! I did manage to fast yesterday morning, and got on the treadmill early in the day. Today I’m taking the boys hiking with some friends, and we have another social dinner planned, which is good for my feelings of community, and not so good for losing weight.
