@musicsax "You are not a shark ~ no Feeding Frenzies allowed" is now posted on my pantry and fridge.
Welcome Back @Shetlandmama ! and big hello and welcome to @felicityb2026 and @Healthylyna2020 This is only my second round after being away for several months regaining 25 pounds. I'm back because not only does it work, but it most feels like home. This group has been around a long time and its members are the best. I'll remind myself of that next time I fall off the wagon and won't take so long to crawl back, lol ~ best wishes to you both.
No formal posting rules here @eagleproperties93 other than what works best for you.
I grew up with that "white glove" cleaning philosophy too @Skyleen75 ~ I hear my mom and grandma every time I clean the baseboards, lol
Thanks @judefit1 !! and back atcha buddy ~ you inspire me too
@Chapter_3 If I had to bet on anyone here it would be you! No doubt at all you'll reach your goals.5 -
Hello everyone! I'm happy to find this challenge just starting. I'm starting at day 2 but it's good enough.
It's one of the challenges that I like the most, but it has that "problem" of having to align our dates! Haha. Sometimes I find you're already at the middle of it, so it'd be kinda pointless.
Let's start December well, fighting for our dreams. We all can do it if we make the right decisions and be persistent enough. If we persist, one day the obstacles will be the ones to get tired of being there, and the gates will open.
I'm not sure what goal to set, because last days were kind of a mess, so I expect to lose some water. I expect to lose more than 1kg.
Good luck everyone!

July Goals: Starting over 7/12 ~ lost six weeks of progress and regained 7 pounds adjusting to new third shift work schedule. They call it graveyard for a reason!!! My exercise, water and step count have all also dropped considerably. Goals this month are simply to lose as much as possible building momentum and getting back in the groove.
June Goals: Having gotten as low as 193 in both April and May, I'd like to drop below that in June. (FAIL)

MAY 1st SW: 197.3 | EW: 196.8
MAY Goals: Lose 6-8bs, 2-3 inches and 1-2% body fat ❎❎❎
May 22: I had packed some shorts to change into after swim without trying them on. They were so tight last summer, I expected the fit to be better ~ but when I put them on ... wow. I was in front of the locker room mirrors and was like omg, that's you. How long has it been since you looked/felt like that? I was spinning around looking at myself for a good 2-3 minutes, y'all, lol ~ my New #1NSV
May 4: 10 of the 20 inches lost was off my belly! No pics, no proof, lol ~ I love/hate taking photos because they've become one of my best tools. You can't lie and you can't hide. Putting myself on blast 1) creates incentive to increase effort and 2) highlights new areas to focus on. Still a long way from my ultimate goals, but its nice to see muscle memory is real! At a size 15, I haven't been this small in more than 10 years.
APRIL 1st SW: 198.2 | EW: 197.8
Goals: Lose 6-8bs, 2-3 inches and 1-2% body fat ❎❎❎
Lost less than a pound, 1.25 inches combined on arms and legs | regained 0.2% body fat and 1/2 inch back on my belly. Starting dietary 200-400 calorie deficit and Intermittent Fasting 18-24 hrs. Breaking fast differently, including more protein, and continuing to look for new ways to increase step count and add more strength in May.
Reaching onederland (March 13th) meant the end of 10+ years and up to 80 pounds!! gained and relost too many times to count. Yo-yoing is the main reason for so much body fat!!! Determined not to continue to self-sabotage ... I need a new target!! If I should lose an additional 8% body fat to reach the "standard" for my age, height and sex ~ and up to 15% more to reach excellent ~ that's @ least another 8-15 months of work before I can begin to relax and think maintenance.
January 1st - April 1st, I've lost 17 pounds and a total of 20.8 inches from 11 areas. 🥳 Thrilled to see my hard work reversing prediabetes and years of physical damage. Getting leaner and stronger and chair dancing proud of myself about it!! 57 and hormonal, it's taken longer than expected and a much rougher road than my youth.

Hello everyone. I'm 47yo female, 165cm (5ft,5inches)
This is my second round. I really enjoyed the accountability of the last round. I saw the mental games I play with myself, not wanting to post after a gain, not wanting to be honest when I ate more than my calorie range needed for a loss. It was easy to see why I'd gain so much weight in 2 years - the need to disengage and not be responsible
Super grateful for this focus of just 10 days!

Good posts from everyone: a lot of goal setting, a lot of Wicked fans out there. Funny, because I was thinking l'd like to see it again and I never want to see a movie twice. A dress-up sing-a-long sounds like too much fun!
Welcome new joiners! This is a good place to spend the next few days.

ROUND 280
12/02 – 136.4 In pain - total rest day
12/03 – 137.1 Morning swim, hip exercises
My hip/back trouble has flared up to become quite bothersome which is concerning because I’m going to ski camp next Saturday. And after a month of resting up with no walking! Doc says I can do whatever is not causing pain. Healing involves a clash of goals between not irritating the bursa but getting the hip stronger. I’m hoping the new shot I got this morning can help. If it works it is an easy but temporary fix. I also got a script for oral steroids just in case. They increase your appetite.

It is a Monday, day one of JGMTD! Fresh start time! I have GOT to get out and either go to the gym or take a nice walk (in the cold,) Too much time yesterday afternoon vegging on football in front of the boob tube.
I have some beach time coming up and I am in serious danger of being mistaken for a beached whale. It’s so embarrassing when people try to roll me back into the ocean.

Really good exercise yesterday. Really bad eating. I have a bit of a head cold also. Combination of sore muscles, bloated gut and cold symptoms means I don’t feel much like taking on the world this morning.
Just read all of yours posts though and I am encouraged.

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.

12/03 - 159.6 - Here's a bit of the drop off I was expecting from all the bloat/water weight of the weekend. Feeling pretty good. Tonight is a bit of up-in-the-air as we're going to the VFW for a couple drinks (mine are 1/2 off tonight). I have to travel (day trip) for work tomorrow so I won't have but a couple (pre-logged) but it'll be nice to get out and enjoy it. The up-in-the-air part is about dinner. I have a meal prep for tonight but are we going for a couple drinks early then come home and eat? Wait, eat, and then go for a couple drinks? Or (hopefully not) BF will want to eat while out and about. We've eaten out Friday, Saturday, and Sunday so I'm hoping we just stick to our meal prepped dinner, either before or after. I have lunch and dinner already prepped (assuming meal prep) and some wiggle room for snacks should we eat after so I'm not having a drink on an empty stomach or getting too ravenous by pushing off dinner a bit. I have a gym bag packed in hopes of hitting the gym on the way home from my site visit for work so long as its not too late. I'll need to improvise breakfast a bit since the plant always wants guests to bring in breakfast tacos (it's tradition at this site having worked there prior to my current employer) as a type of "welcome, let's eat together" type thing. I'm not sure if we'll aim for lunch together or break before then but I'll keep mindful of macros and my dinner is pre-logged already to help with that. Also need to find a chance to walk the dogs tomorrow since I'll likely miss our lunch walk.

Previous Day's Comments12/02 - I'll take it. BF wanted to go out to eat last minute and then we went to the VFW to hang out and socialize while watching football. I tried to be mindful and estimated my logging. I think, if I logged somewhat accurately, I was within macros or at least close enough to count it. Gym this morning and Coach programmed me a plan - I didn't see it until I was already there and had left my ankle straps at home and one machine was taken the entire time I was there so I had to improvise a bit. I've already looked at tomorrow's workout so I can be prepared. I have a day trip for work Wednesday but, if it's anything like the last day trip to this site, I'll be back around lunch. I'm planning to pack a gym bag so if the opportunity arises, I can stop at the gym to knock out my workout on the way home since I can't in the morning before I have to leave. Meals prepped for this week's dinners and have plans for breakfasts and lunches to get me through on macros. I haven't heard from Coach but she said she may increase macros this week so time will tell.

12/03 228.4 ~ Well this isn't pretty at all!!! 😡😡Yesterday started perfectly. I went to the gym for a good workout, but it trailed downhill from there. I've got to practice the art of saying "no". Husband wanted to stop for lunch/fast food. I got a chicken sandwich vs the beef combo that I usually get and a small fry. This restaurant has this " to die for caramel salted cake", and I don't even like cake, so he added one of those to our menu. I took a couple of bites (it is good ) and pushed the rest his way. Calories maxed for the day.... not good. I was no longer in the mood to cook the healthy meal that I had planned so we ordered a pizza. At least it was thin crust. Then he wanted to make pomegranate sours. Angel on one shoulder, devil on the other. Devil wins.... I feel that all or nothing mentality kicking in. That devil is saying, you might as well just wait to January. BUT, I'm not listening. Today is better. I worked out at home since it's a work day. I had a healthy breakfast ~ 325 calories and my healthy dinner WILL be prepared tonight.

Current GoalsDon’t give up on the day when it’s challenging. Choose to make good decisions in those moments instead of giving in.
Main struggles:
1. Working from home makes it easy to stress eat or just eat out of boredom/habit.
2. Sleeping less (have two puppies, a 6mo and a 10mo old) makes it hard to wake up early enough to get a good workout in or at least to feel good awaking up. Feel defeated in the motivation and drive department compared to how I was previously.
Past Challenge StatsRND 279 : SW - 175.8 : EW - 176.4 : ⬆️ 0.6
RND 280 : SW - 175.7
12/02 - 175.7
12/03 - 174.7
Gym: skipped. Did not get a good nights sleep.
Wins: did well with my meals/snacks during the day. I had some work calls during the day which helped prolong that 1-2pm challenging time by just a little bit today. I still ended up eating dinner very early, and was craving sugar immediately after. I would say I did better than yesterday as far as making conscious decisions to not completely act on impulse. Also, I had a quarterly review today and got a raise. So that is definitely a win!
Challenges: same 2pm struggle. Tomorrow i am going to try this: if I haven’t finished my water bottle (holds something like 36oz) by the time I get those mid day cravings/struggles, I have to finish my water before I eat anything else.

Good morning to all you lovely people,
Thanks you all for the lovely welcome
Aside the 3 sausage I had , felt that my food was pretty clean. Was doing some Christmas shopping with DH then at some point bought Doner. Got only shredded grilled chicken with small salad 🥗. But I was disappointed at my weight this morning.I had to remind me that it will takes PCDR for me to get to goal. My body has gone through so much that I need to give it time to heal.wishing you all a lovely 😊 day

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 280 (my 210th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine & this round @CapeWrathUltra.
This round I’m continuing to join @Chapter_3 in in a BHAG of 1 pound a round to the end of the year, i.e. to weigh 138 or under. I need to be diligent as only 3-5 days per round staying on the waggon is not sufficient to get me back to where I want to be, I know at this time of year it is very difficult with all the festivities; mid-round I weighed 1 pound lighter, but then the celebrations happened. If I can keep at a pound a round I’ll be well happy. Another 3 pounds would really get me on my way; I want to stay strong, walk the walk as well as talk the talk! & make the round a successful one.
So, goals for this round;
• First and foremost, no feeding frenzies - (carried over from last few rounds) I am not a shark !!
• to weigh less at the end of the round than the start & a pound is my small BHAG for this round
• 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.

12/1 141.6 (trend 141.7) only walking was quite a stroll, visited a Narnia themed Wrest Park & wandered around the grounds. 1 pound lost this round which is in line with my BGHG & no binge this round at all, so that’s all goals met!! Yippee, let’s do that next round too.

12/2 141.6 (trend 141.6) I quite like the new round number to be the same as the end as the last. 7.6 miles walked. Successfully negotiated Sunday roast linner out with all my siblings before DB starts his 2000+mile “riding home for Christmas” to Turkey on his motorbike. I chose sensibly but know that food out is prepared a lot differently from how I do.
12/3 141 .6 (trend 141.6) 7.96 miles walked.
12/4 141.6 (trend 141.6) 8.62 miles walked before meeting up with DSs & then two of went to donate blood. I'll have to catch up on all new posts later !!

@itladyee clearly I think I’ll putting some of my guests on top of the kitchen cabinets and behind the fridge!!!! Lol! Seriously I have no idea how it all works out every year but everyone squeezes in (and out). This whole thing started because the village parade of lights goes past my house. So outside is set up with tents and heaters for that.
My favorite part is I put an end time right on the invitation! 5-9pm “you don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here”!

I'm verbalizing goals here today for accountability:
*Go back to tracking everything and maintain my spreadsheet!
* At least 8000 steps each day, but hopefully over 10,000 at least 3 times a week.
* Strength training 2-3 times this next week.
* 90+ grams of protein each day.
* Drink more water!
SW RND 280—157.2
12/02 156.2 I just realized I didn’t post yesterday and so got everything confused in the post I made to the last round by accident this morning. Oh well, no loss last round after all! I am recommitting to daily goals I had going back in September.
12/03 156.6 Well, I joined the Silver Sneakers program offered by my insurance program and went back to the gym for the first time since Covid. Had a good workout and wondered at the time why I had waited this long—just lazy I’m sure. This morning, I’m sure feeling it! Met all my goals yesterday and feel more focused than in a while, so I’m hoping the little uptick is just sore muscles. It’s time for me to tone instead of JUST lose, but I’ll have to go slow with the workouts.
12/04 157.2 Knew this was coming. I did get in a frigid walk in the morning, but then everything fell apart. I had everything planned and logged yesterday, but due to lack of self-control and making holiday snacks with DGD, I fell off the wagon. I gave away all the cookies though and am moving some things out of sight today. Will be very busy with Bible Study and then a meeting today, then pick up DGD, so I’m not sure when I’ll get any measurable exercise in, but I have to figure that out.

12/04- 169.4 Dinner salad really is a win for me. Last round I did my best when my last meal of the day was salad based.
I’ve had two days off from the gym and that makes me a bit antsy. I’m feeling much better this morning so I’m going to join my ride or die ladies and lift for an hour at the garage. Hoping to squeeze in tomorrow and Friday as I know that there will be no gym for me this weekend.
I feel like I’m seeing a lot of us posting about workouts this round, I love it!!!5 -
just dropping in to say a quick "hi". Made it through Thanksgiving and was so excited for the timing of round 280 to get myself back here. Friday, I did some visiting along with my errands. Long story short, I got myself a cat bite to the hand. Apparently, that is not a good thing.
Anyhow, I am still nursing this hand, which means no good cooking going on. Thankfully, I am back to being able to type. Hence, I am saying my hello.
5:30 this morning, I remembered that I have Jury Duty tomorrow. FIRST TIME EVER at 63. Anyhow, I have things I MUST get done today. Hubby is in Florida for next two weeks dealing with the HOA's repair/contruction project.
Will get back soon. I hope everyone is well!7 -

Yesterday, I was 390 calories "over" prior to dinner. I was asked to go out for #tacotuesday, and it was all downhill from there 🌮🌮🌮🍺🍺🍺. Back on track, today.5 -
Well, since I didn't know when else I'd have time for a workout today, I just pulled out the computer and my dumbells and did a strength training workout with Paula B. Yay! Let's do this today, folks!7

I lost an average of 3 lbs last round. I was focusing on going to the gym 5 days/week. I made it 2 times. Other days I did some walking. So again I will focus on going to the gym 5 days/week.

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.

12/02: 224.6
It is a Monday, day one of JGMTD! Fresh start time! I have GOT to get out and either go to the gym or take a nice walk (in the cold,) Too much time yesterday afternoon vegging on football in front of the boob tube.
I have some beach time coming up and I am in serious danger of being mistaken for a beached whale. It’s so embarrassing when people try to roll me back into the ocean.
12/03: 226.6
Really good exercise yesterday. Really bad eating. I have a bit of a head cold also. Combination of sore muscles, bloated gut and cold symptoms means I don’t feel much like taking on the world this morning.
Just read all of yours posts though and I am encouraged.

And that is how you lose 2.2 pounds with very little effort. Well, actually I did a good job of limiting the grazing that has become such a big part of my life. And that took some effort.
I have been bombarded with news and blogs that speak of the toxins found in our processed food. It is shameful what they allow in our food. And much of the rest of the world has the common sense to forbid it.
I took the bold step of throwing away a half empty large box of Cheeze-Its yesterday. Can you believe I was tempted to grab a few on the way to the bin. I felt like Bilbo Baggins letting go of the “One Ring to Rule Them All.”

Mission: Continuously improve daily habits that strengthen a “Healthy, Strong & Fit” identity.
#HSF 📣#bestshapeofmylife📣
#helpfulhabits #agingyounger
📣BHAG Restated: My FIRST BHAG is to hit 128lbs on this #HSF journey and maintain a “+ or -“ 2lb range. I HAVE NEVER LIVED THERE! Basically lose 4lbs by 1/10/2025 (assuming I’m actually 132 once this Thanksgiving wreckage flushes out) which at my age and metabolic quirks, will be really, really hard to do, if even possible. I think I’ll know more if this is “doable” within a week or so. I want a BHAG that’s achievable with hard work and determination.

About Me & R280 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.Previous Daily
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
👇🏻December Level Up (Down) Plan
***************************
I pledge to prioritize each of these #HSF choices EVERY DAY of Dec:
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)!!!!

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 20g of net carbs/ day
7. ✅Clean P:E 110-125g Protein

9. ✅#HSF 💦70-80oz daily

11. 💤 7 to 8 hours sleep per night is a goal. Sleep is still inconsistent the last few rounds…
12.Staying in the present moment is key to mental health and healthy choices.
13.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… !
****************12/2 134.0 😳 surely this will be defeated by the end of this round! I’ll update this later today with my intentional post for this round! IM HERE AND DETERMINED TO RIGHT THE COURSE! Goal: Wipe-out the 2-day Thanksgiving damage. BHAG: 1 lb per round.

12/4 132.8 expecting more ⬇️ but 👌. Still bloated/puffy.
🎾🚶♀️8k ✅📝📚💦💤8hrs 1.8:1 Pg 115 (🚫⏱️ foot not quite ready). Decided to wait a few more days on sprints/plyo - (foot). Felt a twinge of discomfort.
Good day on plan. This morning I have a 🎾singles match. Kinda cold for me at 40° - but will persevere.
I’m back to a 300 cal deficit per day…. @ 1100 cals per day. Macros are high protein, negligible carbs and bal= fat. CLEAN WHOLE FOOD. No chemical /preservative poisoning!
INFO: For the past two days I’ve read multiple times from multiple sources regarding exercise for 55+ for healthy aging/mobility: Three key exercises:
1) jumps (plyo)
2) heavy lifting/resistance
3) sprints!
All 3x per week @ 10 min each. My workouts validated! (And of course, 🚶♀️8-10k). & must stretch warm-up first!
👆🏻simply plan? It’s in the consistent execution!
On a roll! Y’all inspire me!
