@Blueberries59 I'm sorry about the hip/back pain! I hope it decreases in time for ski camp - that sounds fun!

@CamandJarvis it's so tough with so many unknowns. Hope you ended up having a good day!

@itladyee I do the same thing - once I overdo it I basically give up for the rest of the day Hope yesterday was better for you and you were able to reset!

@BigappleBritt88 congrats on the positive review and raise!

@Healthylyna2020 Welcome and I love PCDR!

@Skyleen75 Wow, I want to come to your party!!

@SModa61 hello! Hope your hand is better soon, yikes! Didn't know a cat bite could be that bad!

@UTMom81 Nice work squeezing in that workout!

@capewrathultra those last minute dinner plans are brutal. My DH does that to me all the time!

@cyndiemi welcome, just saw your intro. Can't imagine retiring from nursing and then having to caregiver for husband and mother. That's so much on your plate for so long! Good job making space for some self-care.

@_JeffreyD_ well done throwing out the snack foods. I wish I could bring myself to keep them out of my house and away from my kids but it's so hard to only have unprocessed food with little kids around! I would like to give them less processed food but it's very hard to right the ship once they're accustomed to such things.

@Chapter_3 love to see your motivation! I see things like what you're posting and I desperately wish I could get my mom (age 71) to exercise at all. I think she'd freak out if I told her to do any one of those things for the sake of her health.

@jspecies11 wow, nice work with the movie snacks!!!

reshii_devi

Congrats on the raise! @BigappleBritt88 I have a 3 cup mug I drink my tea and beverages in throughout the day. Adds up quick.

Anti-aging tips are on point @Chapter_3 ~ still able to get in some sprinting, but too heavy to lift off the ground right now, lol ~ star jumps is a s good as it gets. Strength training is definitely the area most needing improvement.

@itladyee cheers to joining the gym! I haven't been in months, but hoping to get back to my swimming this week. Maybe today is the day, lol

Great exercise with the stroller @cpanus !! Double duty is the best!

Hope you're feeling better @Blueberries59 ~ did the shot help?

How's your head cold @_JeffreyD_ ? I found flushing my nostrils often helps.

I found this tip last year on webmd and it works surprisingly well if you're interested.

Treat That Stuffy Nose With Warm Salt Water
Salt-water rinsing helps break up nasal congestion while also removing virus particles and bacteria from your nose. Here's a popular recipe:

Mix 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda in 8 ounces of distilled, sterile, or previously boiled water. Use a bulb syringe or nasal irrigation kit to squirt water into the nose. Hold one nostril closed by applying light finger pressure while squirting the salt mixture into the other nostril. Let it drain. Repeat two to three times, then treat the other nostril.

Don't get me started @capewrathultra!! Between GMOs, sugar, preservatives, hormones in our meat .... its terrible how many ways the government is okay with killing us slowly for profit.

Love the movie hack @jspecies11 ~ I save my cals for the popcorn and go all in on the bag! Its such a rare treat, I won't even share, lol

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)

6/5 - 196.8
6/6 - 195.1
6/7 - 195.3 (LAST DAY REPORTING)

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 again, JGMTD crew! I'm Amanda, 39F/5'2" in Virginia

R280 SW: 129.4
R280 GW: 128.0

Starting off December with a couple of new goals:
- Daily core exercises
- 2 full body strength workouts per week

So for the round this equates to:
NS GOALS:
🏃🏻‍♀️ 7/10 days
🏋🏻‍♀️ lift 3/10 days
🚫 no drinking 5/10 days
📝 track food 7/10 days
✔️core workout 10/10 days
(tracked for the previous day)

Previous days' monologues:
Spoiler
12/02 - 128.4 🏃🏻‍♀️✔️ Pleasantly surprised again with a loss. Probably pushing through some more of the retained water from the week. But I'm also not wanting to lose muscle and have been bad about prioritizing strength training with all of the running I've been doing. I don't want to literally run my butt off! So I'm going to lift today or tomorrow as well as getting a few running miles in. I don't have a long run scheduled this week which is nice. We got our tree from a snowy tree farm yesterday and the kids really got into the Christmas spirit! Unfortunately that means they're already asking for cookies. Going to be a tough month.

12/02 - 128.4 🏃🏻‍♀️✔️

12/03 - 129.6 🏃🏻‍♀️✔️🚫📝 A deserved gain, for sure. I was so peckish yesterday, roving all over the kitchen trying to find something that would taste good and leave me sated. I came up blank despite eating all the things. Then we went out for Mexican dinner which obviously is filled with salt. I did opt for fajitas but had plenty of chips and cheese dip as well as some nibbles from my kid's quesadilla. I skipped the margarita, though, so that was a victory. Today I HAVE to go to the store to get some snacks for myself so I can stay on track. I also have to walk the dogs, run, and lift weights, lol. And do my job at some point as well. Hmm, time management is not my forte.

12/04 - 129.4 🏃🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️✔️🚫📝 Kind of expected more of a loss today, but that's okay. I know I did all the things yesterday that I could do. I did finish the fajitas yesterday for lunch (just the meat/veggie portion) and DH made a delicious-but-pretty-salty stir fry for dinner. I met all my goals yesterday so I will just stay the course. I'm definitely making chili for dinner tonight. It's so cold this week! I have a rest day and I may just fully rest today. Maybe a stretch or some yoga plus the required core workout. Really wanting to mostly dig into work today.

@Deepwoodslady – It’s always a downer to compare the forfeited progress, though data is useful tool if considered with compassion. Please know if you did it once, you can do it again! And also, celebrate the 40 pound losts of progress to date!

@ItLadyee –

Angel on one shoulder, devil on the other. Devil wins.... I feel that all or nothing mentality kicking in.

THIS is a mind game that we need to win and one I struggle with! I know at any point during any day or meal we can kick that devil off our shoulder. But he's a tenacious little beast!! A mug of hot water is my only tool to break the cycle and allow the fullness of my past sins to register in by brain. I'd welcome tips from others to fight this devil.

Welcome @cynliemi – Bless you for being a caregiver for your family. I just lost my sister in March after being her primary caregiver, a job I was wholly unqualified to do other than I loved her with my whole heart, and it was brutal. Weight wise, it was hard. I was always trying to tempt her with food and surrounded by treats and under stress and heartache. My heart goes out to you. Welcome to this challenge. You are worth take care of.

@Skyleen75 -

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”!

Hilarious!! Have a wonderful party. You’ve gotten so much done.

@Capewrathultra – Do throw out the Cheeze-Its but keep the oatmeal and other whole grains. Of course, there are specific weight loss plans out there that limit carbs, but that’s another issue. Gastroenterologists and dietary scientists from Jefferson Health, Mayo Clninc, Cleveland Clinic, Harvard Health, Healthline, EatingWell, etc., all go into the benefits and science of why oats are a nutritious choice. I don’t know about Dr. Gundy, but maybe he’s making $$$ from his youtube. Fear sells. Watch out for that. Granted, some individuals have an intolerance to the grain, and the extra sugar and processing added to instant oatmeal packets devalue the benefits, but don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. Just food for thought. I personally am a big fan of improving my gut health and eat steel cut oats with blueberries everyday for breakfast, so I thought I must defend my choice.

Dr. Gundry was probably the top heart surgeon in The World, but now he's focused on making very expensive supplements. There IS a lot of wisdom in his advice, but it's not going to get me to buy his supplements.

Hi, I'm Charissa, back for another round. I will keep coming back and I will get this thing right, sooner or later.

Opening Comments

Round 280 - Round 279 with Thanksgiving in the middle was brutal!   I did make the Homemade macaroni and Cheese and pecan pie and  the rolls and for the first time in years, they came out well.    I was too busy on Thursday but the leftovers Friday and Saturday have caught up with me.

I DID join the gym and have two gym workouts under my belt!

I've got to regain control this round

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.

12/04 228.0 🚶🏽🍎✅💧⬇️ What do they say… a moment on the lips and a lifetime on the hips? It goes on quickly but then takes an act of Congress to make it go away. Ok, vent done. I'm going to work on resuming IF today. My last morsel of food and/or drink was at 9 last night (because that’s when I went to bed) so I will aim for 1:00pm today which will make 16 hours.

@bigapplesbritt88 ~ using water as the deterrent is good for the 1-2pm challenge. Do you have the ability to take a 15 minute walk, even if just in the hallways?

@skyleen75 ~ Well, that sounds like fun…kind of an open house of sorts! Enjoy! Yep! I’m trying to get my workout routine reestablished before January and hopefully it will be a habit by then.

@Smoda61 ~ oh no, I hope your hand heals quickly! Good luck with Jury Duty. I did it once and I loved it.

@_jeffreyd_ ~ Cheez-its are evil. Unfortunately I had a few of those boxes in my house last month! Good job on the purge and the will power on the way to the garbage

@blueberries59 ~ It is a mind game for sure! I'm working hard to stay on course and not give in until January. If I have an excessive day...l want to keep it "there" ...just one day!

12/03-191.8-(Trend Weight: 192.0)- These are my stats from a different challenge. Wow, what a bad year 2024 has been for weight loss for me!!! Up 12.6 from Jan 1st to December 1st. Up 16.2 lbs from my lowest on March 1st. Something is not working physically, mentally, emotionally. I’ve got to figure this out!

12/04-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- I woke up a little later than usual and completely forgot to weight. That’s what happens when I do my morning routine out of order. I must remember to weigh in BEFORE I go out to fill the food for the squirrels and birds. I immediately come back in and pour my coffee and begin gulping (and warming my hands around the mug) making it too late to weigh after that. I traveled yesterday and had both breakfast (after the dental cleaning) and then dinner out. I felt bloated, once home and still feel “larger”. It probably was a higher weight anyway. Maybe by tomorrow I will feel more back to normal.

I caved slightly to the christmas gelato at work but not fully - I got sorbet instead, asked for a small serving, ate small amounts, and probably only had half before throwing it out. It was nice to be able to connect with work friends and not totally miss out on the experience. And I still managed to move the scale downwards, yay!
Also pleased that I have been consistently working out this week and eating a PCOS friendly diet is giving me a lot more energy.
