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.

Hi, I'm Charissa, back for another round. I will keep coming back and I will get this thing right, sooner or later.
Thank you, QuiltingJaine, for keeping us focused in 2024!
Round 277 - I forgot about my birthday which apparently led to not the best choices or I had really high hopes.
At any rate, Round 278 looks promising. No birthday or holidays or planned events, well there's one on the 20th but If I can tow the line until then....
Still missing that drive to stay the course....Maybe I can get some "head" work into today and get back there...!
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!
Goals this round:
Resuming structure~Goals and Targets

11/12 224.6 ~ I found my wireless Renpho scale! Yippee! But...it's not syncing very well. Considering going back to my Withings scale or exploring some others.
11/13 225.5 ~ New scale. Right after yesterday's post, I started bouncing on the internet comparing scales. There have been some upgrades to the Withings scale, and I chose the Body Comp one (same-day delivery from Amazon). It will be better after at least a week of data, but it has merged all my recent data from Apple Health. I canceled a few other "fitness" and monitoring subscriptions that I had (First Phorm, Sleepwatch, Wellatory) and rolled that $$ into the withings + program as it seems to address all except tracking. I just recently moved to Cronometer for tracking.

Hi @cat_walker_1 - Welcome - Just step on in and start posting! You don't need to wait till the beginning. @quiltingjaine sets this up every round. Go to top of page one and read her recommendations on how to get started. No rules, really. Just come on in and hang around for 10 days. Glad you are joining us!5

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE
Got permission to modify the challenge for fasting and physical activity. Thanks! @quiltingjaine
STARTING FAST TIME: 7:02PM EST (started at 5:50PM EST, but didn't start fasting timer until 7:02)
FASTING GOAL: 72H, Then 20:3
ACTIVITY GOAL: 5-minute core workout, 1 hour workout for 8 days
CAUTION FOR FASTING: I live a zero to minuscule carb life that helps with fasting. Taking in healthy-high calorie-nutrient dense meals and being well hydrated before a fast is important⚠️
RND 278 (1)
11/12 CORE✅ WORKOUT 1/8✅ Maintain 72 hour fast ✅
11/13 CORE✅ WORKOUT 2/8✅ Maintain 72 hour fast ✅ - Felt some hunger for a very short time while studying, then it went away. Was able to study efficiently with mind clarity. Consumed nothing but water yesterday (forgot to make notes yesterday). Today I had some tea with lemon juice. There are studies showing that lemon juice doesn’t break a fast why I add it to tea. It's good for vitamin C and masks the flavor of some herbal teas. If anyone is wondering the hunger went away before I had tea I drink tea regularly for health benefits. I try to drink it daily and missed yesterday.

I know it sounds like a false modesty, but I don't love seeing these big drops in weight that are a lot below what both my trend line and calculated weight. It just means I'll be bouncing between 214 and 212 for the next week. I'd much rather see slow and steady.

Fell off the challenge bandwagon in round 256, managed to keep losing weight until June 12th when I hit 155.9 (70.7 kg). I fell off the weight loss wagon shortly after. Decided yesterday to start back up and it was perfect timing with a new round starting today.
11/12- 166 (75.3) Stayed within my goals today. Off to a good start.
11/13- 163.8 (74.3) Water weight whoosh. If I end the round at this weight or close to it, I will be quite pleased.

Round 277 End Weight 170.6
11/12- 170.0
11/13- 169.8
11/14- 171.0 About time I saw a little bounce up. I have lots of theories from TOM hormones to my swole muscles but I think it’s a lot the giant bowl of cereal I ate right before bed. Also bodies are just weird and my weight has the persona of a dramatic teen ager.
I’ve had a good run on this last whoosh and nothing is more motivating for me than seeing results.
Now I have to stay consistent even when I’m not getting a dose of positive reinforcement on the scale.
TOM hormone theory is probably most accurate so I have to be really aware of emotional eating, stressing over little things and negative self talk.
I can hold the line through this round.2 -

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.

11/14: seemingly stable on the scale, so not worried about the fluctuations. I got through that first post-op self-pity without throwing my new food routine out the window, and that's a big deal. 4 weeks post surgery and my foot feels better every day. I'm getting better at navigating the stairs on my butt, but still sleeping in the guest room.
Things I miss: 1. driving myself where I want to go; 2: my bed; 3. the gym; 4. normal pants.
Things to look forward to: 1. feet not hurting; 2. new shoes; 3. being on 2 feet for the holidays.

About Me & R278 Commitments:
********************************F66, 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 to 128lbs. 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, 5x 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
******************Previous Daily
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… !

Still sedentary. Present & hopeful. Tried updating R278 goals, but I just don’t know how to “finalize” at this juncture. Holding steady. I’ve decided to hold off on my “Inbody” scan until I have a couple of weeks of movement under my belt, so it could be a month or so.

Didn’t leave the house yesterday. Rain. 📚all day -and foot is making slow progress. Staying positive. I can only do what I can do… My current BHAG is treading water (staying afloat) and smiling. Guiding my thoughts and “self-talk” is key. Will hit 🥩 and 🏋️♀️goals today. I want more. I’ll define what “more” is today.

Ate late & sipping a wee-bit of coffee at 5:30pm kept me up most of the night. ⚖️What goes up must come down. Hoping to walk today 🤞🏻 & getting my “systems” up & functioning! Impatience starting to infiltrate. I’m definitely out-of-sorts. Going on one week of no activity. I literally FORGOT to 🏋️♀️ yesterday. Will WILL IT BACK TODAY. COME ON💪🏻.

11/12 157.2 I spent the last 5 days at Universal Studios with my DD and DGD. Got in lots and lots of walking but nutrition was less than stellar. But I’m back and ready to get ready for the holidays!
11/13. 156.8 Back on track with food yesterday and so far today. Will be working on drinking more water this round.
11/14 156.6 Filling up my water bottles this morning. Working on quilting today. It's going to rain all day and I don't have to leave at 1:30 to get DGD, so I have lots of time. Need to finish a couple projects before Thanksgiving, so I'll have to take some indoor exercise breaks as I sew today.

At least I logged it, even though it was not pretty. Exercise was functional yard work and doing some tree climbing. What does it feel like to deny myself???

Weighed twice to be sure, but yay! As I wrote, I had a lot of (planned) pizza last night but tried to balance it with lighter eating earlier in the day. And it seems to have worked! Didn't lose, but didn't gain! Huge win!

11/14 - 159.6 - I splurged with some ice cream last night. I was very stressed and indulged my emotions. I did go over my macros but I'm not too worried about it. One day won't absolutely destroy my progress. I tried to include more volume foods in my meal plan for today when I built it to make sure I wasn't hungry which was part of my problem yesterday, too. Unfortunately yesterday my shoulder kind of bothered me on bench press but I didn't think anything of it. Today, however, it's gotten worse so I think I'll need to step back with it. Looking at the various types of pain and anatomy, it seems like it's more of a bursitis than a tear. I could be wrong, but the pain is in a very specific spot and lifting my arm above my head triggers it more which is a strong indicator of bursitis. Tomorrow is leg day at the gym so I can still get a good workout in without worrying about worsening it. I'm hoping its something silly like I slept on it wrong (which has happened before and what I assumed was the issue yesterday).

Previous Day's Comments11/12 - Between eating out last night and being bloated from that and TOM arriving any day, I'm not surprised. I feel extra bloated so I know at least some of this is false weight. I'm back on track today with logging everything and I'm well on my way to meeting all my macro goals. I'm short on steps but I can easily make that up after work. Water is a tiny bit behind but nothing I can't make up, either. Gym was good despite the migraine I woke up with and the later-than-usual night (about an hour later to bed than normal). I feel good about progress though with TOM this week the scale may not show the progress. That's okay. I trust the process
11/13 - Ah, that's better! I behaved last night at the meeting and only had 2 drinks which I logged (vodka + soda with a lime wedge) and kept within my macros. Otherwise, I focused on water and was able to hit my water goal with no issue. Unfortunately the meeting ran long and we didn't get home until past 10pm (well past my bedtime of 8!) and I realized as I crawled in bed I was about 600 steps shy of goal. That's okay, though. My average across the week will be okay due to my 5k Monday so long as I maintain the goal the remainder of the week. Hopefully tonight is a quieter night in - I can't do another late night like that and be functioning. Meals/snacks planned out for today within goals so feeling confident I can manage!

@camandjarvis - I had frozen shoulder in my early 50s - or adhesive capsulitis. It's most common in women in 40s - 50s. I couldn't even lift my arm. Treatment for me was therapy which was painful but now it's gone. It was one of the few injuries that no longer reminds me of its past. Good luck.1
