    60+ Female using trend weight

    I gained an average of 0.3 lbs last round. Did not meet my reduced time goal for the gym. I was still coughing and didn't want to get sicker. I've done 6 rounds and lost 5 lbs. A success in my book so far. My goal this holiday week will be 3 times in the gym as I'll have guests.

    🐸I will keep the analogy of boiling frog in my head🐸

    Last round ending trend weight 209.5

    12/22 209.5 ate within calories, 49.2/64 oz water, no exercise
    12/23 209.6🛑did not track calories or water, no exercise
    12/24 209.4⬇️ ate within calories, did not track water, no exercise

    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.

    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 (70.7 kg)
    It was supposed to be a 1/2 day at work 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.
    12/25- 154.7 (70.2 kg) 40 pounds down from my high weight in April 2020. Brother-in-law made bacon, sausage gravy and biscuits for brunch.

    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 11,224.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!! Calories 20 over maintenance so should be a neutral day!
    12.26.24 196.4 well the scales is moving ... in the wrong direction! Strict day today :)

    #ENGAGED

    End R281 ⚖️ 130.0
    SW R282 ⚖️ 131.0
    GOAL: 129.x

    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.
    #HSF 📣#bestshapeofmylife📣
    #helpfulhabits #agingyounger

    📣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.

    R282 Commitments TO ME:
    ********************************

    I am tracking these individually, and will record the “icon” only when I honor myself that day.

    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

    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.

    Thank you for your honest post and insight. It’s so hard getting comfortable with being uncomfortable, as the marines say “embrace the suck”. But you can do this. It helps if you find out what is your “why” to change your behavior, this will help on those days when it’s tough.
    Your husband is a keeper, it’s obvious he cares for you. 💕
    Best of success to you.

    Highest weight 242 lbs
    Lowest weight 142 lbs (2019)
    Re-start JGMTD Feb 2024 @ 204 lbs

    Round 281 End Weight 173.6

    12/22 171.4
    12/23 172.4
    12/24 172.0
    12/25 171.8
    12/26 174.4 HoHoHo!!! I was doing very well all day. Really just enjoyed mostly giant salad and a few nibbles.
    When DH and I finally got to relax late in the evening we indulged in egg nog and treats. It was delightful but very late in the day and very heavy calories. Egg nog is my only true holiday vice and it is a calorie bomb!!!
    I’m really missing my normal workout schedule but my pulled muscles are feeling so much better.
    Planning a lazy morning of puttering about the house and running errands with a friend this afternoon. A few times a month she and I do an errands day together. Lots of laughing while accomplishing tasks. She has mobility issues so we get to spend time together but not sitting around eating or drinking which is “typical” socializing.

    I can honestly say that I’m 100% sure I will end this round, this month and this year in a good place even though todays number is a humbling experience!!!

    We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

    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.

    We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

    Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

    12/22 136.5 New refrigerator arrived - WOW, is it big! DH and I went to grab a bite while we waited for it to cool down then came home to put the food in. It’s so different I know it will get rearranged.
    While we were eating DH said we need to get back to eating right. (He realizes it all went to pieces when he had each of his shoulders replaced and then got on the HOA board.) I told him I had already decided to just start anew on New Year’s Day.
    12/23 137.0 I am currently having a really bad vertigo attack. Moving my eyes is making me dizzy. Our Christmas traditions began in 1976, when we moved into our first house. Christmas Eve pizza and Christmas morning “sticky buns.” These continue with both daughters and their families, I believe. And this year for the first time in almost 4 decades we are going to a NYE party.
    12/24 138.0 Pasta, meatballs and sauce and a small slice of homemade sourdough garlic bread, 1/2 of a sugar free bear claw pastry - our friends wanted us to see how good they are. Tonight-pizza.
    12/25 136.5 This morning down to DD’s. 48 sticky buns rising in the car ready to be baked at her house. First I need a cup of coffee.
    12/26 138.0 Yesterday’s sticky buns for breakfast and lasagna and rosemary bread for dinner at friends’.

    The holiday went surprisingly well, and much of my trepidation around family dissolved as the evening filled with laughter and hugs. It was a blessing to see my kiddo laughing and enjoying. Times have been hard for some of the younger ones, but they were all there, connecting. If only they can remember to keep doing that as they get older.

    I had some delicious home made gumbo, but there were no salads, and water at that house was not good quality, so I let my goals slide for the day. The scale reflects how I ate as well as some water weight, but I won't give up!

    I started today with a highly nourishing, stabilizing protein drink, and some warm water. It's raining out, but my goal is a healthy lunch, and a walk through the vineyards before day's end. I want to take full advantage of the beauty of Sonoma County in the new year. But if I could begin today, well then that would be grand.

    warmly,
    Dailey

    Goals For this round:
    1. To drink 66 oz per day of water as my minimum
    2. To eat 1 salad every day
    3. To prioritize my emotional well being over the Christmas holiday

    Day/Weight/Comment
    ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 190.6

    12/22-193.0-(Trend Weight: 192.2)-

    12/23-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)-

    12/24-190.6-(Trend Weight: 192.0)-

    12/25-193.4-(Trend Weight: 192.1)- It’s not unusual for me to gain several pounds after a restaurant meal, especially when traveling. Sometimes most of it will come right back off after 24 to 48 hours. I don’t expect that will easily happen this time as I’ve entered the baking section of my holidays and our Family Feast is on Saturday following all the baking and candy making. I imagine I’ll make most of my progress between Christmas and New Years if there is any to be made. I will try to stay sensible as often as I can. Tonight is movie night with my son. We will watch 2 Christmas movies choosing one each. There will be festive snacks. I want to make Christmas Day/night special even if it’s only just the two of us until Saturday. He is kind of stuck on traditions anyway due to the autism and the difficulty he has changing things up. I will try not to overeat. I will also try to watch my BLT’s (bites, licks, tastes) while baking today and in the coming days. No promises though. Just keeping it honest.

    12/26-193.4-(Trend Weight: 192.3)- Weight is exactly the same as yesterday and trend weight is creeping up. While I’m not happy with the scale reading, I will take it as a win. Yesterday was day 1 of baking with 6 batches of random cookies. I ate 5 over the course of the day and called it my lunch. It was also a pasta and bread dinner and Christmas movie night with son. With all of that, no weight change truly is a win for me. Today, much more baking and leftover pasta for dinner. I don’t expect the scale to go down tomorrow but if I can just stay stable I will be ever so grateful. Looking forward to our Family Dinner & Party on Saturday. Lots of prep yet to do!

    🎷 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!!
    12/26 DNW - managed an early 3 mile walk before heading off to DS, we all had an amazing day, I know I insulted to much, but ....

    @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!

    I remember when the recliners came out! I went with my family and we were all so comfy we were fighting taking a nap. And you are right, that is about the time I remember nachos and actual meal's hitting the scene. I think they even used to have ushers taking orders. I do like the recliners too but still stick to the original popcorn combo. I don’t know how well I would do eating chicken fingers in the dark lol.

    Backstory
    In 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 Challenges
    Goals
    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 Goals
    1. 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 281
    I'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!🚫🍷

    Goals this round:
    Resuming structure~Goals and Targets
    🚶🏽- Closing my rings M-S
    🏋️‍♀️- Strength training  3x/week
    🍎- Tracking/Under Calorie Budget > Plan for 1250 - Flex for 400 = 1650  (1250 - 1650) with small frequent meals
    ✅ - Macros - hit Protein > Plan for 150.  100 is acceptable.  (100 - 150)

    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!!
    12/25 229.3 Merry Christmas Everyone!
    12/26 228.1 Christmas was nice, nothing too out of the ordinary. Today was travel day as I took my sister back home (about 1.5 hours one way). Did splurge for lunch/dinner (Mexican). It was good, but my stomach wasn’t quite happy with the sudden overload! TMI, I know…. I was invited to a last minute party for tomorrow but I'm a little "peopled" out...so not sure if I will attend.

    @lita_loses_it_all ~enjoy your holiday with family and friends. The hard work starts next round :)

    @jspecies11 ~interesting friends you have there :). Facebook is flooded with folks making cinnamon rolls. Never considered it but sudden it crossed my mind. Nope. not until next year, and I don’t mean January :)

    @tishabenn69 ~ perfect attitude. And you’ve analyzed the cause, so you’re where you need to be.

    @deepwoodslady ~ appreciate your honest, if it tough time of the year.

    @MizDaily ~ thank your for sharing your protein shake recipe. I have a very bad habit of doing the same thing over and over! It sounds tasty

    @kristawatkins52 ~ Thank you for sharing. It sounds like great advice from your DH. It’s so easy to just settle and we are much better than that!!! Let’s do this!

    @Chapter_3 ~ enjoy your family. We will be here … :)

    @skyleen75 ~ you are sooo kind. Thank you!

    @quiltingjaine ~ sticky buns, lasagna and rosemary bread, Oh My! You handled it well!!

    @Bigapplebritt88 ~ Your chicken fingers comment, reminded me…. I was at one movie theater while traveling for work and they served a full meal. I remember having a messy burger and wondering what I looked like when I left the theater!! I agree, let’s just stick to the popcorn if anything at all!!

    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 (70.7 kg)
    It was supposed to be a 1/2 day at work 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.
    12/25- 154.7 (70.2 kg) 40 pounds down from my high weight in April 2020. Brother-in-law made bacon, sausage gravy and biscuits for brunch.
    12/26-155.3 (70.4 kg) I took an extra day off work today. Spent some quality time with my husband. Got some much needed sleep.All of the baked goods are out of the house and 75% of the candy. I had the option to be off tomorrow too, but I didn't want to use any more PTO and staying busy is good.

    🎷 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!!
    12/26 DNW - managed an early 3 mile walk before heading off to DS, we all had an amazing day, I know I insulted to much, but ....
    22/27. DNW - 12.34 miles walked, a damp & misty day, but so good to get out in nature, much better eating.

    @desolate_angel - so sorry to hear your really sad news especially during the festive period, pets are a big part of the family. Well done on trying to get back to some normality to try to take your mind off the sadness, sending you &.DH comforting hugs 🤗.
