Hi! I’m Amanda, 5’2” 39F
SW RND 277 131.4
GW RND 277 130.8
Non-scale goals:
📝 - track 7/10 days
🚫 - no alcohol 5/10 days
🏃🏻♀️or 🏋🏻♀️ - work out 7/10 days
Tracked for prior day
11/2 - 132.4 🏃🏻♀️📝 We had sushi last night and my weight reflects it! Hopefully it’s mostly water. My calories were maintenance at worst. Today is rest day, busy with the family. We were supposed to go to Chuck E Cheese today and I’m so glad we cancelled! There is no way I’ve seen to eat healthy food there. They do have a salad bar but I can’t fathom trusting it 😬 Today is a rest day fitness-wise, and we have an adult bowling birthday party tonight. Gonna have to keep myself in check! Weekends are such a fickle friend.
11/3 - 133.2
11/4 - 133.8 🏃🏻♀️🚫 Normal weekend gain. I don't think I ate quite as much as normal but who knows? Not me, because I didn't track anything! Ugh. I started to track both days but utterly failed. I'm pretty sure I had my daily calorie allotment in beer on Saturday night so anything I consumed otherwise was just icing on that cake. Yesterday I made halloween candy cookies for the kids and of course had to have one (actually worth it because they're SO good! All the chocolatey candies cut up and put into browned butter chocolate chip cookies with salt sprinkled on top). Anyway, today is a reset. It's always easier when the kids are in school. I have a 30 minute run scheduled, and I have to walk the dogs. I don't love running with them with their frequent sniff/pee/poo stops. I also want to do a leg workout if I can squeeze it in. Happy Monday everyone!
11/5 - 132.4 🏃🏻♀️🏋🏻♀️🚫📝 Happy Election Day for others in the US! I’m out poll greeting in Virginia now but it’s kind of a trickle of voters so I figured I can post. I took the dogs out for a stroll this morning and will go for a short run later. I woke up super hungry so I had breakfast. Going to keep it light until I meet up with my neighbor friends for calzones for dinner. Not expecting to make any great strides on weight loss today.
11/6 - 131.0 🏃🏻♀️ Boy, I am not cheerful today. Tried to wring out the bad feelings at hot yoga but it will take more than that...maybe another 4 years or so. Anyway, today is a rest day so in addition to the yoga I'll just walk the dogs. Dinner is chicken tikka masala because my husband is away (he hates the smell of Indian spices in the house. It should clear out be the time he's home on Friday).

11/3 174.8 I weighed 5 times to see if this is correct! I hope it sticks. Increasing my fasting window seems to be working. I also walk 5 miles every day up and down hills. Today we will be celebrating my sister's birthday, so I hope I can navigate it without doing damage to my progress....

Reading about the “ick” epidemic in our group makes me wonder if Seasonal Affected Disorder (SAD) plays a part. Me too.

I have been truant the past day or two.
It has been a mix of discipline and abandon. Last night we went to a fund raiser for a very good cause, featuring food stations set up all over the building. They offered tastes from many of the great eateries in town. I have to say I did not even think about what I was eating (calories). I was over full at the end.
Today I will exercise my privilege to vote.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.8 -

ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 190.6

11/03 -189.0- (Trend weight -191.7-)
11/04 -190.6- (Trend weight -191.6-)
11/05 -DNW- (Trend weight -DNW-) I was in such a hurry this morning I gulped down a big glass of water with all my meds before weighing. Non-typical schedule today threw me off. I will be leaving soon to help a lady in our small community get to her physical therapy. She had major stroke and can’t drive right now and posted on facebook last night that she needs a ride to the next small town over (about 20 minutes) for the therapy. This involves actually helping her do her therapy while there too. We’re not really what you would call friends but more like acquaintances and someone I only see in passing maybe twice per year. But we know each other’s hearts enough that she is comfortable with me even in such a vulnerable position. I helped her there a couple of months ago and it was horrific what condition she was in. Luckily she can walk but with a very strange gait. I hope to see improvement in her this time as I know how horribly depressing this is for this (normally) working and vibrant woman .
11/06 -192.2- (Trend weight-191.6-) I ate and drank my way through the nail-biting play-by-play of the election last night switching back & forth between CNN and Fox News. I’m not surprised the scale jumped way up. I need lots of water today and TMI would help. I will try to eat extra low calorie and carb but keep foods high in volume with fiber and protein to keep me full and on track for today. I need some sort of drastic measure as long as its healthy. I’m glad to see my trend weight didn’t change so perhaps I can keep that level or moving in the right direction with some careful planning. No contractor today as they chose to stay up late for election night and sleep in today. There is no reason I shouldn’t get in some bit of exercise today. It’s supposed to be day 3 of rain but I have my exercise bike in the house so no excuses! Dancing is also nice too. I haven’t done that in a minute!

Round 277 - Ready, Set, Go!
Very excited for this round. The last few have been "meh".... so I need some inspiration!
I did end October lower than September, so that's a win!
So here we go November 2024... my motto(s) - All the things I need to read daily!!!
🏋🏾♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
Eat well 🥗to Live Well 🚢✈️🧳
H2O - Make it Flow 💦💦💦
Lose weight in the kitchen ⚖️, get fit in the gym🏋🏾♀️
Note to Self: Alcohol kills weight loss as the focus is burning alcohol calories and not fat calories!

11/4 223.6 ~ Time is flying by. Not by choice but I'm feeling a part of the "ick" group too. I just can't focus for more than a few hours. I did get a good workout in this morning,(added HIIT back in so worked up a sweat) so there's a start.

11/6 DNW Ate late last night and then didn't sleep well so I didn't want to face the scale! Today is my birthday. My husband kept asking me what I wanted to do.... I tried to think > you don't need food to celebrate >, but it didn't work. So, I'm opting for sushi for dinner and probably a cocktail. Then, I have 4 more days to right-size the ship.

@capewrathultra ~ Nice neighbor, I think🙂 That top sirloin will be just as good today🙂
@deepwoodslady ~ it melts my heart for you to help your acquaintance to her PT and actually help her with it. I'm sure you make her day and encourage her as well. My sister had a stroke about 9 years ago. It was really tough to lose the ability to do the things that we take for granted. Kudos to you!
@jspecies11 ~ I'd like to accompany you to that beach!
@quiltingjaine ~ I love the BHAG made the TOP of the list🙂
@pezhed ~ I just had to chuckle. Thx!

11/06 - 156.9 - Managed to get home far earlier than expected due to the onsite engineer being tied up starting over lunch on another site. No gym but after this call I'm listening in on I'll take the dogs on a walk so I can get my steps (I'm alarmingly low on steps right now) and get some good fresh air. I'm behind on water a bit and just had to work my macros around due to a spur-of-the-moment breakfast taco offering on site that I couldn't turn down (they'd see it as very rude, just how that site runs and glad I know that from those years working there). I managed to make it work out with macros, though, so all will be well today. I have breakfast, lunch, dinner, and my pre-workout snack logged for tomorrow so I'll need to figure out the snacks to meet macros which makes life a bit easier for me. I feel confident I can make this week a good solid effort despite the hiccups

11/04 - Friday night we had Asian food out so I always bounce up and retain water. Saturday was an absolute mess with missing breakfast, snacking on whatever I could find at the fire station to keep from feeling faint, and then having lunch delayed by nearly 2 hours due to poor planning on the departments behalf and a training event that went over by nearly 2 hours. I was able to stay on track Sunday and I'm finally seeing the benefit. Coach has upped macros and believes I'm still not quite at maintenance so I have to get through maintenance before hitting our planned surplus. So much food! I'm happy. I travel Wednesday for a day trip for work so no gym, but went to day and plan to go tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday for my regular routine. I also have lunch and dinner meal prepped for the week so I can take my lunch and snacks with on my trip since it's a 2 hour drive, no flights. Feeling pretty good despite the scale upticks.
11/05 - I'll take whatever drop I get, even the smallest one. I've got today pre-planned and tomorrow as well for my day trip down to a work site to still meet macros so my only focus will have to be to get my steps in (I'll also likely miss my daily dog walk depending on when I get home) and hit my water goal (1 gallon/128oz). Today I knocked out the gym, took the dogs for our walk, and voted. Now to focus on work and be productive!

🎷 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.

11/07- 173.6 there is the bump up I saw coming in advance. I almost got ahead of it but DH came home extra late yesterday (10pm) I got out of bed and ended up eating “seconds” with him.
Still my calories weren’t crazy, if not for that meddling husband!!!
A case of “shoulda, coulda, woulda”.
On track for today and feeling mentally in the game. It’s hard for me to be excited to be covering old ground and trying to re-lose pounds I had celebrated losing two months ago but this has to be done so I can level up!
I did manage to get all of my bulbs planted at home yesterday. “Spring me” always gets excited and orders to fill in “holes” for the next year. “Fall me” always curses and mutters when hundreds of bulbs show up and I try to follow my notes from April studying saved pictures on my phone.
Oh well, you can’t really go wrong with bulbs! lol except maybe the mass of red tulips I once planted in my pastel garden that I somehow always forget to move and they won’t stop blooming when other tulips quit after a year!
I am focused on having an active, productive day. I am going to make thoughtful decisions about food. I am going to drink water!7 -

3. Drink 90 oz. water.
4. Do the first three goals.

I have been truant the past day or two.
It has been a mix of discipline and abandon. Last night we went to a fund raiser for a very good cause, featuring food stations set up all over the building. They offered tastes from many of the great eateries in town. I have to say I did not even think about what I was eating (calories). I was over full at the end.
Today I will exercise my privilege to vote.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.9 -

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.

Continued crutches, difficult with planning work because I don't know when I'll be on 2 feet and driving. My Dr is getting married Saturday (yes, she's young!) so I won't see her until the 19th.

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… !

👻🎃 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”.

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). 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!)

🎾one hr. Feet needed rest after. What’s a girl to do? Will try movement again today and will focus on 🏋️♀️. Slept poorly (anxious) & projecting little sleep tonight. Solid 💦.
Last year I avg 130ish in November & 129ish in Dec. Can I rationalize that I have more muscle at this point in time? probably not. But I do feel stronger, more agile,etc. Don’t want to lose that edge over foot pain.
Back to basics.

Zombie yesterday from no sleep. Read all day. Barely moved off the couch. 🏋️♀️”snacks” throughout day. Terrific sleep last night, so I’m ready to go today. Hopefully my foot is well.
Im still determined to make good on this round.
The scale is shockingly steady. After several months of huge, daily zigzags, this is unusual.
BHAG - I have not forgotten my desire to have a BHAG… I believe making it through the holiday season fulfilling my current goals would actually qualify as a serious BHAG. Will continue to reflect.

Psychology is a funny thing. Ticking down in weight makes me feel strong, slimmer, alive. But ticking back up to that same very same weight makes me feel weary, bloated, meh. Go figure.

11/2 - 132.4 🏃🏻♀️📝 We had sushi last night and my weight reflects it! Hopefully it’s mostly water. My calories were maintenance at worst. Today is rest day, busy with the family. We were supposed to go to Chuck E Cheese today and I’m so glad we cancelled! There is no way I’ve seen to eat healthy food there. They do have a salad bar but I can’t fathom trusting it 😬 Today is a rest day fitness-wise, and we have an adult bowling birthday party tonight. Gonna have to keep myself in check! Weekends are such a fickle friend.
11/3 - 133.2
11/4 - 133.8 🏃🏻♀️🚫 Normal weekend gain. I don't think I ate quite as much as normal but who knows? Not me, because I didn't track anything! Ugh. I started to track both days but utterly failed. I'm pretty sure I had my daily calorie allotment in beer on Saturday night so anything I consumed otherwise was just icing on that cake. Yesterday I made halloween candy cookies for the kids and of course had to have one (actually worth it because they're SO good! All the chocolatey candies cut up and put into browned butter chocolate chip cookies with salt sprinkled on top). Anyway, today is a reset. It's always easier when the kids are in school. I have a 30 minute run scheduled, and I have to walk the dogs. I don't love running with them with their frequent sniff/pee/poo stops. I also want to do a leg workout if I can squeeze it in. Happy Monday everyone!
11/5 - 132.4 🏃🏻♀️🏋🏻♀️🚫📝 Happy Election Day for others in the US! I’m out poll greeting in Virginia now but it’s kind of a trickle of voters so I figured I can post. I took the dogs out for a stroll this morning and will go for a short run later. I woke up super hungry so I had breakfast. Going to keep it light until I meet up with my neighbor friends for calzones for dinner. Not expecting to make any great strides on weight loss today.
11/6 - 131.0 🏃🏻♀️ Boy, I am not cheerful today. Tried to wring out the bad feelings at hot yoga but it will take more than that...maybe another 4 years or so. Anyway, today is a rest day so in addition to the yoga I'll just walk the dogs. Dinner is chicken tikka masala because my husband is away (he hates the smell of Indian spices in the house. It should clear out be the time he's home on Friday).
11/7 - 131.2 📝 Happy with this number today considering I haven't been laser-focused. My 5yo asked for frozen yogurt this evening so I'll have to plan for that. Have a dog walk, a short run, and a little strength training planned.

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.

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.
