My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure. Abraham Lincoln

Well, Mr. Lincoln, I think the word “failure” is a bit strong here, but I am not pleased with wasting the last round after such steady progress. I hope to get back to business. Thank goodness, and @quitedjaine, for a fresh start!5 -

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 277 (my 207th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.
This round want to stay strong & make the round a successful one.
Goals for this round;
• First and foremost, no feeding frenzies
• to weigh less at the end of the round than the start
• be happy because I feel that I have made the round count at the end
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 youngest 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.

An impromptu invitation to dine-out for breakfast and a larger-than-usual dinner really sunk me, yesterday. Planning my menu for this coming week, and I'll be back on-track, today.6 -
RND 27710/23: 231.8 lbs (Yesterday was a 500-calorie 'fast day')
10/24: 232.6 lbs (I guess the half-bottle of white wine and 4 cheddar rice cakes - and not enough water - were the culprits!)
10/25: 230.8 lbs (Yesterday, was a total fast day - except for morning coffee and unsweetened herbal tea. It was easy doing the fast, as I got totally agitated with my food delivery person who totally flaked out with my grocery order and I ended up in a fight with the supermarket! So I didn't feel like eating! I think all the aggravation burned extra calories. Problem was resolved in my favor, eventually.)
10/26: 229.8 lbs (Yesterday I was tired physically and took TWO naps during the day... but managed to "trudge" through 2 hours of peddling, but with four breaks inbetween. Found out I have a new vegetable I HATE, and threw away! Edamame, which are young soybeans.)
10/27: 229.2 lbs (More energy yesterday for peddling. Yesterday, I cooked a HUGE new VAT of cabbage soup. Hoping I can make room for at least 4 quart containers in my freezers. In any case, I'll be eating A LOT of cabbage soup this coming week! LOL)
10/28: 229.4 lbs (Two big bowls of cabbage soup yesterday! LOL Wondering how many of you went on the "cabbage soup diet" which was all the craze some years back???)
10/29: 229.2 lbs (Today, is normally my 500-calorie "fast" day, but I dunno!)
10/30: 229.0 lbs (Unless this was a fluke in the scale, I LOST .2 lbs having snacked on THREE small croissants with pumpkin-butter last night? Today is DEFINITELY a total fast day, except for 0-calorie beverages)
10/31: 229.2 lbs (Well, it WAS a scale fluke, or Halloween prank! I did a total fast yesterday, drank lots of water, but the scale shows I'm UP .2 lbs! LOL)
11/1: 228.6 lbs (Ahhh... well, TODAY's weight makes more sense! LOL)
SW RND 277 - November 1st, 2024 - 228.6 lbs
(MFP SW - 6/1/2024 - 286.2 lbs)
11/2: 228.8 lbs (Water weight, as well as I had a can of corn as a vegetable yesterday, so more calories compared to a green veggy.)
11/3: 229.0 lbs (Fehhh, I'm sensing a weight plateau after looking at my scale numbers these last 8 days.)

Lowest weight 142 lbs (2019)
Re-start JGMTD Feb 2024 @ 204 lbs
Round 276 End Weight 176.6
11/02- DNW
11/03- DNW My routine is still upside down with a house full of young adults. I some how “forgot” to take the scale out of the spare room again. I think I’m grateful for the buffer while I try to shake off that candy bloat. I was a bit more reasonable yesterday. At least in volume of food, perhaps not in quality.
Hit the nail on the head with the idea of the ick being a result of the seasonal change. And I will add I think I might be dealing with very primal feeding frenzy to store calories for winter. I feel a bit like a chipmunk with cheeks full of acorns.
Thankful for ten day rounds, putting the past behind me.

Jude, 5’-2”, 67 YO

CW: 125ish
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.

11/3: ugh. Not sure if the scale was accurate as I couldn't get the number to settle in even after 3 tries this morning. Doesn't really matter, the trend has been completely in the wrong direction. Two days in a row eating out and not choosing wisely, but last night was really fun- a "proper" dinner in an excellent restaurant with DP's cousin and I had everything, unfiltered. It was worth it but can't continue, especially right before the holidays. Today: better choices.6 -
@_JeffreyD_ and others, I attribute MY "ick" feeling to the overindulgence in sweets and candy the days leading up to Halloween. I woke up feeling almost sick on Nov. 1 because of the increase in sugar. Went almost totally sugarless that day and felt much better yesterday. Today my weight is back down, and I'm feeling more energetic as well. MY SAD will kick in when days are dark and gloomy in the winter. Our days here have been gorgeous lately, for which I am thankful.
@saita2024 welcome to the group! It’s a wonderful group of people!
@roscoe1998 welcome back! Good to see you back with us!
@LovinHISWORD welcome to the group! You’ll love it here. As for posting, here’s what I do. I create a “Note” in my Notes app on my computer/phone for each round. I copy and past the intro material you find at the top of my posts and the dates that are part of the beginning of each round post, then I update that in my Notes each morning, adding my weight and whatever I want to say each day. Then I copy and paste from Notes back to the “Leave a Comment” box at the bottom of this page and hit “Post Reply”.
@Chapter_3. You look amazing! What a great pic with your grandson!
@theslightedgeforever, I totally missed this boiled frog analogy somehow. I’m almost afraid to ask, in fact, I’ve decided NOT to ask a couple of times already. Will I be sorry I asked???4 -

11/2 157 Still a little Halloween celebration showing up, but back in control.
11/3 155.6 Oh, that’s a nice little swoosh! It’s funny (or not, really) how quickly the sweets addiction returns after a few days of indulgence. Getting better with purposeful exercise again now, but now there’s the extra challenge of it getting dark so early. Oh! My lab results came back in yesterday's mail and everything is SO much better and well within normal range now! I'm so encouraged by that and by the fact that my doctor affirmed my reduction in blood pressure meds from full doses of Amlodipine and Valsartin to only 20mg of Valsartin (which isn't really even a dose--only half--they don't make those pills in a 20 so I'm cutting them.) She says to come off of them when I feel (and track BP) to confirm it's time. Happy Sunday, everyone!

I'm on the injured list and can't walk for exercise, though I'm fine just walking around. It's a hip flexor/bursitis issue which recurs periodically. I've already had 2 shots. Very frustrating! Maybe I'll try rowing or biking at the Y today after yoga.5 -

About Me & R277 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” & “Healthy Strong Fit” on my way to
📣#bestshapeofmylife
👇🏻Nov Level Up (Down) Plan
***************************
I pledge to prioritize each of these #HSF choices EVERY DAY of Nov:
1. P:E: Protein g 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, 6x per round. 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 110-125g Protein
8. ✅#HSF Naturally IF 18/6. Eating window=noon to 6PM. (At least 5 days/wk)
9. ✅#HSF 💦70-80oz 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 115g to 125g 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… !

P:E ratio has been off the last several days. Last night I had a TCBY with a drizzle of Oreos/Reeses ….
👻🎃 Disclaimer: I’ve never been big into Halloween, so it’s no big deal for me… We NEVER get any children at our door, so we quit buying candy years ago…
Just read this:
“Those who are in shape have discipline. It’s as simple as that. They don’t eat whatever they want. They don’t work-out only when they feel like it. They don’t give into every craving they have. Want to get in shape? Get disciplined.”
Im the youngest of four children and all of us were big into sports. I remember we were a “swim team” family… Morning swim practices, where my mom dragged us out of bed. “I really don’t care that you don’t feel like getting up this morning… I really don’t feel like taking you, but we’ve made a commitment and you’re going to get up and go swim this morning.”
This dialog plays through my head often… It’s not about feelings.
“It’s a full-time job believing in yourself. No days off”.

Give myself a “D” this round. I purposely listed each goal individually, and when I injured my quadricep, it just changed everything… But… I still had PLENTY of opportunities to reach EVERY goal and chose not to … Defiant. Drifted. Discipline disappeared. November will be BETTER! See y’all in R277 with a fresh perspective. So glad it’s the start of a new month & round!
I will start next round with the same goals from this round.
You: So much wisdom this round… I appreciate all of you!

⚖️ slowly creeping up again. Not a great start with 💦, protein or movement. My body has been somewhat derailed. I now have noticeable foot pain. Couldn’t take long 🚶♀️yesterday … might need a few more days off. Bought some new tennis shoes yesterday because I sense my current shoes have lost their structure… I’ve been feeling minor foot pain the last several times I’ve played 🎾and it was quite noticeable Thursday afternoon. Time for new walking shoes as well. Let’s see how rest, ice and massage work today & tomorrow. I believe my added “plyo” ⏱️ has been impacting my feet… Will plan accordingly. Damn the injuries!
Minor changes in my routine set me back tremendously…. I don’t want to become too RIGID…. but noticing how I drift is generally the result of: 1) negative self-talk /excuses 2) procrastination and 3) minor injuries. I will nip this in the bud ASAP! My first 2 hours of each day need structure. Then, I’ve got a great jump-start to the day feeling accomplished/ disciplined. Checking off those important items as “DONE” are key to my health & well-being. Still coaching my inner-voice. Stay present & mindful.
…. Today is my DGS last soccer game of this season so it will be fabulous! And, this minor setback makes me ever-more conscious of the importance of taking care of myself! Listen to your body! Onward!
Contemplating my next BHAG! 🤔🧐
Good luck everyone and ENJOY the journey!

Flat “icky” day (except for soccer). My “icks” are on me - what I choose to dwell on… lack of direction & mission drift. Family worries have reappeared …. Will change some thought patterns … & try some activity today to gauge how my feet are healing…. It’s all about being grateful and present. ✅ Let’s get my morning done, 💦 & a “new” start to this round! (I’ll plan a BHAG in the coming days!)

Round 277
Nov 2 -11, 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 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!

Thank you @quiltingjaine. 🙏5 -
@UTMom81. I take a low dose of amlodipine and Toprol XL. My BP is ALWAYS up the doctor’s office and fine at home. I’ve told them repeatedly that I have “white coat syndrome” which they repeatedly ignore. They juggle the med amounts with no change in BP. It’s quite frustrating and probably DOES make my BP go up!
Oh and when I checked my cuffs against theirs and both were within a couple of points of their reading, they told me home cuffs are in accurate! I have both a wrist and an arm cuff.5 -

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

I don’t remember who said what in round 276 but something in my brain clicked. I am getting back to my old routine of longer daily fasts - at least 18 hours which includes sleep time.

11/2 133.0 Got much accomplished yesterday-dropped of my national ballot and community ballot, “led” arts and crafts. Took DH to “vote in person” but he still wasn’t feeling up to snuff and the line was long so we left. I hope he feels better by Tuesday.

My lab results came back in yesterday's mail and everything is SO much better and well within normal range now! I'm so encouraged by that and by the fact that my doctor affirmed my reduction in blood pressure meds from full doses of Amlodipine and Valsartin to only 20mg of Valsartin (which isn't really even a dose--only half--they don't make those pills in a 20 so I'm cutting them.) She says to come off of them when I feel (and track BP) to confirm it's time. Happy Sunday, everyone!
@UTMOM81 Congratulations on your successful bloodwork changes. You are really doing it....turning your numbers around and getting better health in the process. That is so very difficult to do and you are really doing it successfully! Bravo!!!!!5 -

Day/Weight/Comment
ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 190.6
11/02 -190.4- (Trend weight -192.0-) I was expecting a bigger drop considering yesterday was a good day. However, exercise was lacking, water was low and no TMI today so I guess I’ll just be happy with the 0.2 for now. I’m not sure what today will bring. I’m thinking of heading out of town so I can pick up some supplies including my new favorite low carb bread. Lots of bills to pay online though, so we’ll see. Out-of-town would mean dinner out so I better plan my lunch accordingly, just in case! Good luck everyone this round. I plan to dip into the 180’s this round come Hell or High Water. Even if it’s only 189.9 to start. Let’s do this, friends. I’m up here in Northern Michigan cheering you on!
11/03 -189.0- (Trend weight -191.7-) I’m just so damn happy right now. Yay, into the 180’s!!!! Of course, I don’t quite take my shoes off, let down my hair and pour myself a drink until I’m comfortably at the number 7, (as in 187 point anything) since my weight can increase up easily by several pounds in one day putting me back over the top. Especially if I’m naughty. However, dipping my toes in the 180 pond sure feels good right now. I did not end up going out of town yesterday. That helped. Today is my foodie daughters 30th birthday. I’ll try not to blow it.
