BackstoryIn 2022 I was around 157lbs with 24% bf. Was definitely in the “best shape” of my adult life then. Since then I started a new career working from home as a developer. Have moved away from my family for fiancés job. We’ve moved several times to various states in a short time span. So far we’ve moved 3 times, all about 9 months apart. Welcomed two puppies into the mix. Lots of changes. Lots of time spent at home. Lots of time spent away from family. Fell out of touch with friends. All of the adjustments and figuring out how to manage/handle more daily responsibilities and navigate through this phase of life has manifested into me gaining 20+lbs and losing a lot of willpower, motivation, drive, positivity, etc that I once thrived on. Found this challenge and it has been helping me get it back. Nothing is permanent! Looking forward to working through this.
Overall Goals and ChallengesGoals
1. Focusing on behavior and mindset. Calories have been going way over for so long I need to reel the behavior back in a healthy way.
2. Don’t give up on the day when it’s challenging. Choose to make good decisions in those moments instead of giving in.
Challenges
1. Working from home makes it easy to stress eat or just eat out of boredom/habit.
2. Sleeping less (have two puppies, a 7mo and a 11mo 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.
Daily, Small, Attainable Goals1. Finish 1st 27oz water before 2pm
2. Finish 2nd 27oz water before bed
3. Alternate standing and sitting at desk every other hour during working hours (or stand at least half of the day).
4. Hit maintenance calories.

Hi, I'm Charissa, losing the battle but still fighting the war!
Thank you, QuiltingJaine, for keeping us focused in 2024!
I'm gearing up mentally and physically for 2025
With just 10 days left, I am focusing on reinforcing good habits and introducing a few more to take me into the new year. Not focusing on the scale for now. I am also happy this round ends on 12/31 and we start the year FRESH and ENGAGED
Opening Comments from round 281I'm ending another year NOT where I want to be, actually slightly higher (right now)and that's not a good thing.
BUT ~ I fear to think where I might be had I just thrown in the towel completed.
My goal for the remainder of 2024 is to get to my starting weight for 2024, and that will be two years in a row, which is a wash.
Putting all into perspective - maintaining is a WIN
In the last 27 years, I have
* Lost 4 times (2 were in the last 5 years, which answers the question of what if I didn't even try!)
* Maintained 2 times
* Gained 21 times
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!🚫🍷

Dates = Weight ; Comments regarding prior day.
12/22 ~ 227.4 ~ tomorrow’s number will not be pretty. I actually made the cookies on Saturday and did really well. I think I had two. Today, not so much, I’ve made up for restraint I had. Tis the season and It’s only one day. While I make several types, there are only two that I really like and they are almost gone! Yipee!!!
12/23 228.3 ~ totally expected. Now that I’ve gotten those cookies out of my system, we should start moving downward!
12/24 DNW ~ I did, but I’m not taking ownership I’m a bit melancholy today but responding to post is helping…. Just that time of the year and the reflections. I think I need to work on building new traditions vs focusing on what was. I’m riding out through the end of the year and ready to hit 2025 like it stole something!!

@deepwoodslady ~ dedication to your health is a good thing. I don’t like “resolutions” as they tend to fade by February. Dedication is much better!
@quiltingjaine ~ I hope your vertigo is better and even better, gone! Thank you for the wishes and thank you again for sponsoring this awesome group of folks!!
@bigapplebritt88 ~ it’s been a while since i’ve been to the movies. I had forgotten about the full bar. All of the theaters had to step up when the ‘recliner’ scene came on board. I enjoy the recliners but I liked it back In the day!
@lita_loses_it_all ~ you can only edit after one hour. But from what I see, you are doing it perfectly !! Each day or post is just a new update (usually with copy and paste )

Age: 52
SW 436.8
GW 435.8
Additional goals for these 10 days: 4 bottles of water a day, change soda intake to 1 every other day or less. Most meals prepared at home.
Mantra for these 10 days- What you are not changing, you are choosing. Just for today, I choose life and doing things that support life.
12/22-436.8-all water in 💦 NSV: journaled
12/23-434.8- all water in, very late finishing them 💦 FF today, 1 large root beer NSV: moved more, rested less
12/24-DNW all water in, all meals made at home today-I started drinking water very early today and forgot to weigh in beforehand. Will weigh in tomorrow morning. Bought myself an early Christmas present, a fitness watch. Began counting steps today. Happy about that. Happy Holidays!

Hi all, I have completely dropped the ball this round but I wanted to check in to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! I started to spiral last round and now I’ve gotten too busy for everything. So far I seem to be maintaining but who knows how long that will last. I hosted DH’s birthday party on Sunday, came down with strep throat, and now we have kid Christmas and hosting my dad and step-mom tomorrow, hosting mom and step-dad and brother & SIL and their kids on Thursday, then traveling to Puerto Rico on Friday! Anyway it’s been too overwhelming to participate, but I think of you all and wish you the happiest holidays!! I’ll be back in round 284!

musicsax;c-48407830"]🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 282 (my 212th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine.
This round I’m again taking something forward from @Chapter_3 (again) if I may "We should be strategically engaged with our lives each day, right?! That’s my new word… ENGAGED." " I will try to keep that word ENGAGED in my mind over these new 10 days. I was also joining her in in a BHAG of 1 pound a round to the end of the year, i.e. to weigh 138 or under, however, due to a blip in the last round, I know 138 is now unachievable, however I am now going to modify that to getting to 140 something or less. 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, but celebrations happen and this round includes Christmas Day. If I can keep at a pound a round, I’ll be well happy. 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 – 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.

12/22 141.6 (trend 141.5) – 8.74 miles walked. Today is the first day after the winter solstice, looking forward to lighter nights and spring to come.
12/23 141.6 (trend 141.5) – no structured walking, DS & family travelled down to spend the day with us – a delightful day! Happy Christmas Eve Eve everyone !!!
12/24 143.6 (trend 141.8) seems I was not engaged enough at the late dinner/supper xmas buffet with BIL & partner last night. Not hungry this morning so at 7.00am I hit the supermarket for the last of the fresh fruit & salad buying. I’m all done now, caravan is packed ready to tow up to a site on the edge of Sherwood Forest close to DD & about 18 miles from DS. So, this is my last weigh in until Sunday (we travel back Saturday). There is room to pack the scales, but nowhere to use them, carpets throughout except the shower cubicle which has moulded ridges in the base so not level enough for an accurate number – I’ll be “flying by wire”! Tomorrow all 10 of us gather together at DS’s for roast lunch, present exchange & a wonderful magical time with all our little DGC. Happy Christmas Eve everyone,
12/25 IT'S CHRISTMAS!! Hope you all have a good one 🥳🎄DNW - had a wonderful evening with little DGSs, they were so excited!!

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 to start back up the day before Round 278 started.
SW Rnd 282: 155 (70.3 kg)
12/22-155.3 (70.4 kg)
12/23- 156 (70.8 kg) Not surprised after a night out with meatloaf, mashed potatoes and brown gravy and a side of chili for dinner. We did walk the boardwalk to see the Christmas lights after dinner since it was a mild night and only sprinkling a tiny bit. It's been unseasonably warm, about 43° (6° C) last night and the wind wasn't blowing either.
12/24- 155.9 It was supposed to be a 1/2 day at work today followed by finishing prep for hosting Christmas Eve. This morning as almost every morning for over 2.5 years my husband took the dog for an off leash run in the field. Same loop, same routine as always. This time, for some reason he ran out of the field and was struck by a car. It was dark and raining. It wasn't their fault. The emergency vet said he wasn't going to make it. We had to put him down. They were going to hold off for the 40 minutes it would take to get there from work, but they couldn't. I got to say goodbye through speakerphone. We still hosted because family is important. I didn't track. I have a dog sized hole in my heart, but I'm sticking to the plan of getting rid of most of the leftover sweets after tomorrow. I cannot fill this hole with food.

I'm only just rejoining the mfp bandwagon....yet again lol. Definitely looking forward to joining the give me 10 challenges.2 -
Hello everyone. I'm happy to have found this group
I'm Lis, 61 from the uk but have lived in Spain for 22 years
Started on mfp in August 2021 at 276lb
Reached goal in December 2022 189lb
Since then I've lowered my goal to 182lb and had a few ups and downs!
Currently on a big up following a lazy summer and a 6 week holiday in the usa!
GOAL: 1.8 lb in 10 days
12.22.24 195.8
12.23.24 195.8 13,373 steps. Calories☆
12.24.24 195.8 12,881 steps. Calories☆
12.25.24 195.6 frustrated as I've upped the walking and been under on my calories and the scales is hardly moving. But I've played this game long enough to know weight loss isn't linear!!

Round 282
Dec 22 -31, 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!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/22 – 136.4 Juggling lots. Started this post this morning. Never finished, but here it is at 7:30 PM
12/23 – 136.4 I guess I should be pleased. Hardest part of weighing this morning was undressing. It is 8 degrees outside at the moment, the townhouse we bought in 2021 has an uneven heating system, and the coldest room in the home is the master bath where the scale is. Could not bring myself to weigh at 5 am, when I first woke. But got it done before morning coffee. I think my number somewhat has to do with my digestive system. I am normally a “morning girl” and that has not been the case for three days. I am wondering if the 10 days of augmentin for the cat bite disrupted my gut biome. Anyhow, onwards we go. Gotta make it through the end of the year the best I can, then I have basically 4 months for a re-set of habits. Have a good day all!
12/24 – 136.2
12/25 – 136.0 Got my post up early today before more “can go wrong”. Crazy couple of days!
Anyhow, wishing every a wonderful holidays season. A Merry Christmas today to those for whom this is a holiday.

I’m so sorry about your pup. Such a tragedy for everyone. My thoughts are with you. My horse died on Christmas morning a few years back. The holiday is a reminder. I still miss that wonderful friend.2 -

There is so much hype about the holidays and family gatherings. You are not alone in your situation. I hope you do something just for you Clarissa. 💕0 -
@Chapter_3 Your family photos are wonderful and I'm sure the wedding was as well! I'm so happy for you all! I live in Knoxville, TN now, but Hickory where I grew up is just the other side of Asheville/Marion/Swannanoa area in the foothills--still about 1.25 hours west of Charlotte.0

F66, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean P:E (ProteinG> (Cg+Fg) A clean/whole food WOE- Track macros, all fitness and NSVs. I’ve had an unhealthy relationship with food my entire life.
Mission: Continuously improve daily habits that strengthen a “Healthy, Strong & Fit” identity.

📣BHAG Restated: My FIRST BHAG is to hit 128xlbs on this #HSF journey and maintain a “+ or -“ 2lb range @128lbs by 1/10/2025. I want a sustainable #HSF BHAG that’s achievable with hard work & determination.

Backstory & Progress
********************************
Lived in 140-150s throughout adulthood. 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)
***************************
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 CLEAN 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” and jumping is vital to joint-health 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 👏🏻🤩 (12/11 This is down due to injury - I pledge to recommit.
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
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…
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… !

12/22 ⚖️131.0 ✅🚶♀️10k. Just jumped on ⚖️ real quickly to get going for today. I will make a more “ENGAGED” entry later.❤️😍 I look forward to tracking and spreadsheet- Just cannot do it today and will start tomorrow. Simple uptick from being out late last night. Cruddy sleep. TBH I thought 130 yesterday was low, but I’m good with 131 if that sticks because it was 1lb lost R281. Good nutrition yesterday. Good choices @ dinner. Small portions. One cocktail. Dinner went beautifully and I’m looking forward to cold but gorgeous weather - And celebrating with my son and his new bride! ONWARD! Big day ahead!
12/23 ⚖️ 131.4 ✅🏋️♀️🚶♀️10k💤10hrs!!!!
Not bad for two stressful but crazy fun days. Reviewing past 48 hr nutrition I’m quite pleased. Enjoyed my usual Sunday bacon & eggs for breakfast. Enjoyed LOTS of Champagne, two chocolate covered strawberries & FOUR Mexican Wedding cookies @ reception …. No other food. 💯 % carbs. 😂. I ENGAGED by purposely prioritizing VISITING and kept my DISTANCE from temptation. Skipped dinner cuz exhausted. I’ll post a couple of photos soon.
TODAY: 💦💦💯🚶♀️🏋️♀️
Cleanup/pickup work today. During my quiet time this morning, will think of how best to keep ENGAGED over the next few days while traveling. I’m thinking it won’t be realistic to keep a spreadsheet this final round of 2024 but I will definitely track all nutrition. Leaving in AM for NC. ONWARD!
PS No travel scale… IYKYK
12/24 Good nutrition day. Tracked until dinner out last night. Charcuterie and Scallops.
We’ve been on road since 3:45am. Merry Christmas Eve🎄!

Oh @desolate_angel, what a tragedy. My heart aches for you. What a terrible thing to have happen anytime, but especially on Christmas Eve. I am so very sorry. Hugs to you and your hubby.1

CW: 128.3
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.

God Bless us, everyone.

* Strength training 4 times per round.
* 90+ grams of protein each day.
* Drink more water!

I’m going to acknowledge right up front that this will be the most difficult round of the year for me. No excuses though, just truth. Let’s DO this! I am stealing the Word of the Round from @Chapter_3 and @musicsax: ENGAGED--Staying engaged with my health goals in spite of celebrations and distractions sounds like a great goal for this round! Thank you, ladies!
12/22 153.2 I’ll take this after a day which included two meals out and a couple of drinks with dinner. I was very careful about food choices and drank lots of water. Went to see “A Christmas Carol” at University of Tennessee’s Theater last night, and it was delightful! Such a wonderful production!
12/23 152.2 Got in a nice long walk on a crisp, cold, beautiful afternoon and ate high protein. Fresh made sausage balls count as protein during Christmas week, if I’m not mistaken! Can you believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve? Tomorrow is our big day with grandchildren, and we always have an hors d'oeuvres meal that day. It’s my favorite! It’s been tradition in our family as long as I can remember. This first year without both of my parents, I am treasuring the traditions even more.
12/24 153.2 Not surprising all things considered.
12/25 152.2 Once I was finished with the cooking, I regained some control yesterday. I’m pleased with this but the day is young! Lol. Merry Christmas everyone! I had no idea how to track what I did eat, but I focused on proteins. So, no spreadsheet for yesterday, but I’m thinking protein was fine.

Just Give Me 10 Days Challenge
Age: 52
SW 436.8
GW 435.8
Additional goals for these 10 days: 4 bottles of water a day, change soda intake to 1 every other day or less. Most meals prepared at home.
Mantra for these 10 days- What you are not changing, you are choosing. Just for today, I choose life and doing things that support life.
12/22-436.8-all water in 💦 NSV: journaled
12/23-434.8- all water in, very late finishing them 💦 FF today, 1 large root beer NSV: moved more, rested less
12/24-DNW all water in, all meals made at home today-I started drinking water very early today and forgot to weigh in beforehand. Will weigh in tomorrow morning. Bought myself an early Christmas present, a fitness watch. Began counting steps today. Happy about that. Happy Holidays!
12/25-432.4-Some of the water retention is resolving, so that is a plus and I know will cause some quick drops initially. It’s been interesting to actually eat regularly throughout the day and feel better, feel changes happening. I’m typically a binge eater followed by long periods (sometimes even days) of deprivation, and intense guilt. Doing it different this time. No extremes or fads this time. Being patient with the process and working to be consistent on more days than not. Progress not perfection, moving in the right direction. Merry Christmas!
12/26
12/27-Cooking pasta for 19 people on this day for a small party I’m hosting. I have a plan in place, but also allowing for some flexibility. I’m a little nervous about it though y’all. Just want to stay at least conscious during all eating and drinking and be ok with my choices, whatever they are.
