Hello I'm Darlene, retired, 64-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). I have been with group for a while. I started my journey in January 2023, and over the last two year have lost almost 90 pounds. With the help of this group I made it to the ideal weight loss range. Logging in Daily really keeps me on track. Now I'm working on a buffer to make it so I never hit overweight again. This round, I am going to change things up a bit - going to post my goal accomplishment daily, but only weigh in on Wednesday, we'll see how that goes!

I worked really hard since Christmas and it as paid off, lost all my weight from the holidays. My weekly calorie deficit was 2,375 calories - the math says that should be .67 pounds and guess what I lost .7 pounds - I guess the math worked this week! 😁

I have been working on Improved Health's 25 days to a Stronger You program on youtube. Just finished the program yesterday - really enjoyed it and I do feel stronger. It's five days of strength (alternating body parts), with a plank every day then two days of rest. Each session is just 10-15 minutes. I liked it - but going back to strength every other day and a full body longer session. Just easier to keep track of my weeks!

Took the most beautiful walk the other day at Hammonasset State Park. We took three trails that we haven't taken before - the first Meig's point a 1/2 mile trail (1 mile in and out) along the rocky shoreline to the point (Meig's point). The second the Willards lsland Trail, a 1 mile loop. It's a paved trail - not much to look at - but when you get to the farthest point you see the salt marshes. Our last walk was the Cedar Island Trail, just a half mile in and out. There are a couple bridges that take you to the small island in the middle of the salt marshes. A perfect photo shoot for Monty. He is getting a little scruffy - looks like he need a grooming! Pictures in the spoiler.Meig's PointJan 17: 👣 📝🥗 🚶♀️🫀🏋️♀️ 🧘♀️⌚ 💦🧂

Before weight loss we ate out a LOT; with it came appetizers, the meal, dessert, and drinks. I have also given up drinking except for an occasional drink while on vacation, or a special occasion. It was too much of a temptation for me so we rarely go out now, and the alcohol buzz makes me forget about my goals and resist all temptations. Now that I have gotten to my goal weight, I keep saying that we should go out on a date once a week - hoping to figure out how to go out without blowing the whole week. Figured Wednesday after my weigh in would be a good day - that way I have all week to recover. So we are starting that today. My plan - eat only half of what they serve - save the rest for leftover breakfast or lunches. Split a dessert - one drink!

16.4K Steps, 7.1🚶♀️Miles, 128⌚ Min, Over my Calorie Limit - 866 calories, over my sodium limit, didn't meet water goal
Date night was somewhat successful, had a wonderful time - food went as planned, only ate half of what was served. But one drink led to two! Delicious for sure, even the veggies! We went really expensive because we haven't done it in so long. When we got home - watched TV for a bit and with it came another late night snack that I really didn't need. I was over my calorie limit a bit more than I wanted, but when you look at it, just need to stay under 150 calories a day to make up for it. I can do it. We had a really enjoyable evening and will do it again (but probably not as $$).

Tough night sleeping which led to a nighttime binge. I have a lot of work to do the rest of the week.

44yo happily married from Canada. Sick throughout Dec 2024 til mid Jan. Hopeful 2025 is a healthier year for us all.
January Start Weight: 288
January Goal Weight: 277
Dec 31 Goal Weight: 230Jan1: 288 same start as last year.
Jan2: 288.7 I ended up lying down after the unplanned 4am wakeup and weighed in when I got up for the day.
Jan3: 4am wakeup again.. forgot to check weight just wanted to get out of bedroom to not wake DH with my coughing.. too bad he didn't feel the same with his snoring! But on the mend I think
Jan6: 290.7 3am wakeup.. dammit. Coughing, odd sneeze here and there, rogue ice cream last night with apple crumble pie. Sigh. "Diets" start Mondays right? Going to start logging meals today, hitting 10k steps and start upping my water intake. Back in the day I drank up to 13 water bottles and day.. now I'm lucky if it's 2-3!
Jan7: 284.9 ok seems I dropped that sugary weekend plus more.. but not in a good way. rough night. Took a new to me otc sleeping pill at 7 and fell asleep by 830 or so.. I've been sleeping extra poorly being sick. I woke up at 1144pm. No idea why. At 2 I got out of bed to read in living room to hopefully get sleepy.. nothing. Got DH off to work at 6 and tried to sleep and managed 630to730 then 745to9. I hate napping. My fitbit doesn't even know what to do with all these naps. I also didn't eat much. Nor today yet either. The congestion shifted in my head.. its lessened but I'm still coughing with mini sneezes still daily. I hate this.
I did get my 10k steps in yesterday but today I'm not even attempting it.Jan8: 283.3 1399cals yesterday.. appetite was gone last 2 days but today I feel hungry! Sleep was poor.. i kept waking up after every sleep cycle? So weird. Fitbit gave me 5h37m sleep from 830 to 530. 🤷♀️ used no otc sleep aids this time. I'm going to bed early again tonight.. read for awhile then try for 830 again. I'm "skipping" the 10k steps again todsy.. it'll be whatever.. going to keep focusing rest of this week on increasing water intake, better sleep, knocking this congestion and proper cal amts. Which I have set for 1950.. my steps/"extra" Fitbit cals aren't registering but I just don't care while I'm not focused on "exercise".
Jan9: 281.9 So I felt hungry in the AM yesterday but it faded. I'm still eating throughout the day it's just not a lot of cals. 🤷♀️ Last fall we stopped eating out so much.. mostly drive thru/pickup/takeout. We started getting the Family size kale salad in the deli section.. i didn't even look at the nutrition label but I eat my half in 2 meals while DH eats it all at once. Figured it's a start not eating fried things. If we don't get that we get the preassembled fresh pizza - again no idea the stats I'll be checking when we get each next time - but for the time being I think we are keeping those as our weekend indulgence with most everything else now cooked at home. Hopefully the kale salad is in stock tonight. Pork shoulder is on sale 1.69lb so we are getting one to do Sunday with veggie side bulk cooking to eat all next week. No thinking about what's for dinner.. its just keep on eating this cheap dinner all week - we already have 2 kinds of potatoes, onion, carrots and squash so this will really work well with my wanting to actually set a budget this year. Chicken legs back attached are also on sale so I might get a pack for my lunches all week.
Monday I'll try to care about the steps again.. I'm still working on the sleep issue. I seem to wake up after every 1 or 2 sleep cycles all night long. Last night I managed to fall back asleep.... counting sheep! 🐑😂 the highest I remember hitting was 69.. I did this at least the 4x I woke up and somehow fell asleep to wake up again later.
1 sheep, 2 sheep, 3 sheep....
Tooooooooo funny. But it worked.. I'll use it again tonight.. we also have blackout curtains we just leave up - had because DH had a month long split shift last year - and they actually really help when I'm able to stay asleep.
Ok.. lets make happy choices! 💜
I've been gone since Jan 9? No reasons or excuses.. just pure laziness. I really need to make a plan to be here and post on weekends so I don't have to find the thread Monday mornings or risk skipping it for too long 🤦♀️
Jan24:280.6lbs which means I won't be making that 277 goal for the 31st. But I'm pretty happy the fluctuations I didn't bother adding when I did check over the last 2weeks are more or less where I "left off".. but also this should have been the easy time for loss at the start. Ok.. I need to get serious. 🤦♀️ Why can't I make this a full commitment??

I worked really hard since Christmas and it as paid off, lost all my weight from the holidays. My weekly calorie deficit was 2,375 calories - the math says that should be .67 pounds and guess what I lost .7 pounds - I guess the math worked this week! 😁

I have been working on Improved Health's 25 days to a Stronger You program on youtube. Just finished the program yesterday - really enjoyed it and I do feel stronger. It's five days of strength (alternating body parts), with a plank every day then two days of rest. Each session is just 10-15 minutes. I liked it - but going back to strength every other day and a full body longer session. Just easier to keep track of my weeks!

Took the most beautiful walk the other day at Hammonasset State Park. We took three trails that we haven't taken before - the first Meig's point a 1/2 mile trail (1 mile in and out) along the rocky shoreline to the point (Meig's point). The second the Willards lsland Trail, a 1 mile loop. It's a paved trail - not much to look at - but when you get to the farthest point you see the salt marshes. Our last walk was the Cedar Island Trail, just a half mile in and out. There are a couple bridges that take you to the small island in the middle of the salt marshes. A perfect photo shoot for Monty. He is getting a little scruffy - looks like he need a grooming! Pictures in the spoiler.Meig's PointJan 17: 👣 📝🥗 🚶♀️🫀🏋️♀️ 🧘♀️⌚ 💦🧂

Before weight loss we ate out a LOT; with it came appetizers, the meal, dessert, and drinks. I have also given up drinking except for an occasional drink while on vacation, or a special occasion. It was too much of a temptation for me so we rarely go out now, and the alcohol buzz makes me forget about my goals and resist all temptations. Now that I have gotten to my goal weight, I keep saying that we should go out on a date once a week - hoping to figure out how to go out without blowing the whole week. Figured Wednesday after my weigh in would be a good day - that way I have all week to recover. So we are starting that today. My plan - eat only half of what they serve - save the rest for leftover breakfast or lunches. Split a dessert - one drink!

Date night was somewhat successful, had a wonderful time - food went as planned, only ate half of what was served. But one drink led to two! Delicious for sure, even the veggies! We went really expensive because we haven't done it in so long. When we got home - watched TV for a bit and with it came another late night snack that I really didn't need. I was over my calorie limit a bit more than I wanted, but when you look at it, just need to stay under 150 calories a day to make up for it. I can do it. We had a really enjoyable evening and will do it again (but probably not as $$).

My goals for January:
❄️Log daily & stay at/ under calorie goal
❄️Weigh daily
❄️Move 20 minutes each day
December 28- 222 Let’s Go!!
December 29- 220 ❄️❄️ 2 pounds down!
December 30- 218.4… it’s amazing what just logging can do. ❄️ Down 1.6 pounds.
December 31- 218.4 HAPPY NEW YEAR’S EVE!! Holding steady. ❄️
January 1——219…Happy New Year!!
January 2——219.9 Back to work at creating healthy habits…. And back to work.
January 3——219.3 “ Just keep swimming” 🐟
January 4——222.1 watched the Pistons win in Detroit, then went out for drinks afterward…was so much fun… but tired and slow today… off to work!
January 5—— 222.3
January 6——222.0
January 7——222.0 time to take down the outside Christmas lights. Temps won’t be getting any higher, so it’s time to bundle up! 25 degrees F/ -3.89 degrees C. 🥶
January 8——222.5 time to get back to logging. Happy Wednesday!
January 9——221.2 Going in the right direction. 😁 Got my hair cut and highlighted yesterday to blend the grey and brown. May even paint my nails before work. (I even shaved my legs yesterday.🤣) I feel good going into a 7-day work week since my teammate is in Florida on Vacation. Did I mention that it’s 5 degrees out. (-15 degrees C) It’s definitely sweater weather outside!
January 10—— 221.1 Slow and steady…🐢 I’ve pre- logged for today which feels good! Only have to make adjustments as necessary.
Jan 11——219.9 … below 220!🥳
Jan 12——220.7…. I’ll get back there soon. 😉
Jan 13——220.5… SLOWLY….
Jan 14——Dnw
Jan 15——DNW
Jan 16——219.5 😁
Jan 21——220.6 decided to get moving again by shoveling… more like pushing snow off the driveway. It’s currently 2 degrees Fahrenheit/ -16 Celsius… so I bundled up and shoved snow. Got my 30 minutes of exercise in! The cold doesn’t bother me and I feel invigorated!
Jan 22——219.5… feeling good! Striving to finish January strong! -6F/-21C here in mid Michigan. It’s a great reason to move to stay warm… walking around the house before work to get some steps in.
Jan 25—— 222…. Back to my beginning weight this month… ah well… time to shake things up.

Jan 20-25: finally starting to feel human again and gaining some strength back. I’m eager to get back into my routine, build up my strength but need to be careful not to relapse! I would be happier with the weight loss if it were due to hard work, but it was literally not being able to keep anything in my system for 2 days.

Hi All!
🎉🎆Happy New Year!!🎆🎉
I am a mom of five, trying to lose my last few pounds.
Goals for January:
Pre-log my day's food every morning! And update logging before dinner.
Check in to this group every morning.
January 1: 128.6 ❄️ I logged!
January 2: 127.6
January 3: 127.6 Yesterday the last of the Christmas cookies, chocolates, and egg nog got hold of me.
January 4: 127.6 I've been pre-logging in the mornings; but then I get derailed sometime between 3-7PM. I'd like to tackle that; maybe if I take the time to update logging right before dinner. There's always a lot of shuffle and/or chaos right before dinner, but if I can manage to take some time to update my logging during that time, I think that will help. So, I'm adding that to my goals above.
January 5: 127.6
January 6: 128.6
January 7: 127.8
January 8: 128.6 ❄️ I logged!
January 9: 127.6 Yesterday I actually logged the way I'm supposed to. (As in, pre-logging and then keeping up with the logging during my challenging hours of late afternoon/early evening.) I increased my calorie goal by 200 calories and kept my laptop handy.
January 10: 127.4 ❄️ I logged
January 11: 127.8
January 12: 128.8
January 13: 129.4 I want today to be the day that I change my habits.
January 14: 129.8 ❄️ I logged! Yesterday was the same old same old. But I am proud of how I did today. I had a really busy day with plenty of excuses to not log or to throw in the towel, but I logged and did pretty well. I have been reflecting on why I have been repeatedly failing & falling into the same bad habits. I think a lot of it might have to do with meal timing. Since August we have been on a different schedule; a much later schedule, with dinner often happening very late. I think it's really causing a problem for me. I get sooooo hungry in the afternoon; throw in the towel and overeat; then eat a lot *again* at dinner. Starting today I'm trying to have dinner earlier; and trying to eat enough in the morning and afternoon so that I don't get so hungry that I go nuts; and, in the afternoon, reminding myself that dinner is happening soon. At any rate this worked today and it's my new plan for now.
January 15: 128.4 ❄️ I logged! I did it again. The plan from yesterday worked again. Ate more in the morning and afternoon, didn't get overhungry or hangry in the late afternoon, and ate an earlier dinner. 👍
January 16: 127.8
January 17: 128.4
January 18: 127.4
January 19: 127.8
January 20: 127.8
January 21: 127.8 I think. I think I weighed but forgot to record it. I'm pretty sure it was the same old same old.
January 22: 127.8
January 23: 128.2
January 24: 128.0
January 25: 127.8 I am taking babysteps! Even if I'm only down one pound this month, I'm ok with that as long as I'm taking babysteps towards progress.

Hello I'm Darlene, retired, 64-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). I have been with group for a while. I started my journey in January 2023, and over the last two year have lost almost 90 pounds. With the help of this group I made it to the ideal weight loss range. Logging in Daily really keeps me on track. Now I'm working on a buffer to make it so I never hit overweight again. This round, I am going to change things up a bit - going to post my goal accomplishment daily, but only weigh in on Wednesday, we'll see how that goes!

I have been working on Improved Health's 25 days to a Stronger You program on youtube. Just finished the program yesterday - really enjoyed it and I do feel stronger. It's five days of strength (alternating body parts), with a plank every day then two days of rest. Each session is just 10-15 minutes. I liked it - but going back to strength every other day and a full body longer session. Just easier to keep track of my weeks!

Took the most beautiful walk the other day at Hammonasset State Park. We took three trails that we haven't taken before - the first Meig's point a 1/2 mile trail (1 mile in and out) along the rocky shoreline to the point (Meig's point). The second the Willards lsland Trail, a 1 mile loop. It's a paved trail - not much to look at - but when you get to the farthest point you see the salt marshes. Our last walk was the Cedar Island Trail, just a half mile in and out. There are a couple bridges that take you to the small island in the middle of the salt marshes. A perfect photo shoot for Monty. He is getting a little scruffy - looks like he need a grooming! Pictures in the spoiler.Meig's PointJan 17: 👣 📝🥗 🚶♀️🫀🏋️♀️ 🧘♀️⌚ 💦🧂

Before weight loss we ate out a LOT; with it came appetizers, the meal, dessert, and drinks. I have also given up drinking except for an occasional drink while on vacation, or a special occasion. It was too much of a temptation for me so we rarely go out now, and the alcohol buzz makes me forget about my goals and resist all temptations. Now that I have gotten to my goal weight, I keep saying that we should go out on a date once a week - hoping to figure out how to go out without blowing the whole week. Figured Wednesday after my weigh in would be a good day - that way I have all week to recover. So we are starting that today. My plan - eat only half of what they serve - save the rest for leftover breakfast or lunches. Split a dessert - one drink!

Date night was somewhat successful, had a wonderful time - food went as planned, only ate half of what was served. But one drink led to two! Delicious for sure, even the veggies! We went really expensive because we haven't done it in so long. When we got home - watched TV for a bit and with it came another late night snack that I really didn't need. I was over my calorie limit a bit more than I wanted, but when you look at it, just need to stay under 150 calories a day to make up for it. I can do it. We had a really enjoyable evening and will do it again (but probably not as $$).

Hubby is a huge fan of salmon, me not so much so I avoid making it (not fair). When I do make it, I ususally make salmon for him and swordfish for me. This recipe was shared on my BLC challenge so thought I would try it. The first salmon recipe I actually liked. I may have cooked it a tad too long for others, but for me it was just right. Served with sauteed spinach (should have made a double batch - wasn't enough) and rice with onions, carrots and celery.

My goals for January:
❄️Log daily & stay at/ under calorie goal
❄️Weigh daily
❄️Move 20 minutes each day
December 28- 222 Let’s Go!!
December 29- 220 ❄️❄️ 2 pounds down!
December 30- 218.4… it’s amazing what just logging can do. ❄️ Down 1.6 pounds.
December 31- 218.4 HAPPY NEW YEAR’S EVE!! Holding steady. ❄️
January 1——219…Happy New Year!!
January 2——219.9 Back to work at creating healthy habits…. And back to work.
January 3——219.3 “ Just keep swimming” 🐟
January 4——222.1 watched the Pistons win in Detroit, then went out for drinks afterward…was so much fun… but tired and slow today… off to work!
January 5—— 222.3
January 6——222.0
January 7——222.0 time to take down the outside Christmas lights. Temps won’t be getting any higher, so it’s time to bundle up! 25 degrees F/ -3.89 degrees C. 🥶
January 8——222.5 time to get back to logging. Happy Wednesday!
January 9——221.2 Going in the right direction. 😁 Got my hair cut and highlighted yesterday to blend the grey and brown. May even paint my nails before work. (I even shaved my legs yesterday.🤣) I feel good going into a 7-day work week since my teammate is in Florida on Vacation. Did I mention that it’s 5 degrees out. (-15 degrees C) It’s definitely sweater weather outside!
January 10—— 221.1 Slow and steady…🐢 I’ve pre- logged for today which feels good! Only have to make adjustments as necessary.
Jan 11——219.9 … below 220!🥳
Jan 12——220.7…. I’ll get back there soon. 😉
Jan 13——220.5… SLOWLY….
Jan 14——Dnw
Jan 15——DNW
Jan 16——219.5 😁
Jan 21——220.6 decided to get moving again by shoveling… more like pushing snow off the driveway. It’s currently 2 degrees Fahrenheit/ -16 Celsius… so I bundled up and shoved snow. Got my 30 minutes of exercise in! The cold doesn’t bother me and I feel invigorated!
Jan 22——219.5… feeling good! Striving to finish January strong! -6F/-21C here in mid Michigan. It’s a great reason to move to stay warm… walking around the house before work to get some steps in.
Jan 25—— 222…. Back to my beginning weight this month… ah well… time to shake things up.
Jan 26——221.4…. Better… time to keep it going!

Got out of the house for the first time in a week. Hubby took me to the health food store to pick up a few things. Felt good to get out of the house!!

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 64 years old and from Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

01/26-193.4-(Trend Weight: 192.8)- Eating a full meal at 2:00 am with reckless abandon doesn’t help my cause. These new contractors are keeping me continually busy and I find that my meals are running later and later. I’m not even hungry for dinner until so very late due to late earlier meals. I’ve got to figure this out. Exercise is non-existent too. Where’s the time? There are answers I’m sure, I’ve just got to find them. Reno is moving along much better.

I desperately want to get back into my routine! I was doing so well and I am worried that the longer this lasts the harder it will be to get back into my routine. I’m supposed to be at yoga tonight. But every time I move around it triggers a coughing attack. Not exactly what the group wants to hear, so I guess I will be missing another night. I’m becoming very frustrated 😩.3 -
Wednesday will be last official weigh in for the month and I'm afraid I'm right back where I started. I'm trying to think of small wins. I tried to track every day. Le sigh.

It’s surprising how much difference that TMI makes! I would love if I could hang onto this and work it down from here. I’ve been teetering (for the most part) in the 192 and 193 range for longer than I care to admit. Time to get this train rolling!

Hello I'm Darlene, retired, 64-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). I have been with group for a while. I started my journey in January 2023, and over the last two year have lost almost 90 pounds. With the help of this group I made it to the ideal weight loss range. Logging in Daily really keeps me on track. Now I'm working on a buffer to make it so I never hit overweight again. This round, I am going to change things up a bit - going to post my goal accomplishment daily, but only weigh in on Wednesday, we'll see how that goes!

I worked really hard since Christmas and it as paid off, lost all my weight from the holidays. My weekly calorie deficit was 2,375 calories - the math says that should be .67 pounds and guess what I lost .7 pounds - I guess the math worked this week! 😁

I have been working on Improved Health's 25 days to a Stronger You program on youtube. Just finished the program yesterday - really enjoyed it and I do feel stronger. It's five days of strength (alternating body parts), with a plank every day then two days of rest. Each session is just 10-15 minutes. I liked it - but going back to strength every other day and a full body longer session. Just easier to keep track of my weeks!

Took the most beautiful walk the other day at Hammonasset State Park. We took three trails that we haven't taken before - the first Meig's point a 1/2 mile trail (1 mile in and out) along the rocky shoreline to the point (Meig's point). The second the Willards lsland Trail, a 1 mile loop. It's a paved trail - not much to look at - but when you get to the farthest point you see the salt marshes. Our last walk was the Cedar Island Trail, just a half mile in and out. There are a couple bridges that take you to the small island in the middle of the salt marshes. A perfect photo shoot for Monty. He is getting a little scruffy - looks like he need a grooming! Pictures in the spoiler.Meig's PointJan 17: 👣 📝🥗 🚶♀️🫀🏋️♀️ 🧘♀️⌚ 💦🧂

Before weight loss we ate out a LOT; with it came appetizers, the meal, dessert, and drinks. I have also given up drinking except for an occasional drink while on vacation, or a special occasion. It was too much of a temptation for me so we rarely go out now, and the alcohol buzz makes me forget about my goals and resist all temptations. Now that I have gotten to my goal weight, I keep saying that we should go out on a date once a week - hoping to figure out how to go out without blowing the whole week. Figured Wednesday after my weigh in would be a good day - that way I have all week to recover. So we are starting that today. My plan - eat only half of what they serve - save the rest for leftover breakfast or lunches. Split a dessert - one drink!

Date night was somewhat successful, had a wonderful time - food went as planned, only ate half of what was served. But one drink led to two! Delicious for sure, even the veggies! We went really expensive because we haven't done it in so long. When we got home - watched TV for a bit and with it came another late night snack that I really didn't need. I was over my calorie limit a bit more than I wanted, but when you look at it, just need to stay under 150 calories a day to make up for it. I can do it. We had a really enjoyable evening and will do it again (but probably not as $$).

Hubby is a huge fan of salmon, me not so much so I avoid making it (not fair). When I do make it, I ususally make salmon for him and swordfish for me. This recipe was shared on my BLC challenge so thought I would try it. The first salmon recipe I actually liked. I may have cooked it a tad too long for others, but for me it was just right. Served with sauteed spinach (should have made a double batch - wasn't enough) and rice with onions, carrots and celery.

I was doing really well at the beginning of the month, but not as great the last couple weeks. I'm trying not to be too disappointed, bc I've still been more consistent with tracking than I usually am.

01/27-191.4-(Trend Weight: 192.7)- A great overnight drop due to some good food choices, a tad bit of earlier eating of my dinner, and a decent TMI (potty routine). It’s surprising how much difference that TMI makes! I would love if I could hang onto this and work it down from here. I’ve been teetering (for the most part) in the 192 and 193 range for longer than I care to admit. Time to get this train rolling!
01/28-191.2-(Trend Weight: 192.5)- A great food day yesterday. I made spaghetti and meatballs all while giving my (autistic) son a cooking lesson. I was proud that I stuck to my guns and made his with regular pasta and mine with hearts of palm for the noodles which is a much lower carb and calorie choice. I easily stayed within all my macros. Only a small drop on the scale today but it probably would have been a gain. A very nice drop on the trend weight which really feels like its trusting me to keep up the good work. I will be traveling on a long day which will include some shopping and dinner out tomorrow. It’s only one day. If I make some good choices I will still have to deal with all their hidden sugars and sodium, but it will be a bump to get over, not a mountain. It’s a lifestyle not a diet so if I can remember that, I will look at the menu differently. As many of you know, I’m from a very small town and we do not have a bakery or anything fresh like that. We cannot even get birthday cakes here. So my goal (also) is to stay away from the out-of-town bakery. NO DONUTS!!!!! They are my weakness AND my trigger! Enjoy Tuesday everyone!

44yo happily married from Canada. Sick throughout Dec 2024 til mid Jan. Hopeful 2025 is a healthier year for us all.
January Start Weight: 288
January Goal Weight: 277
Dec 31 Goal Weight: 230Jan1: 288 same start as last year.
Jan2: 288.7 I ended up lying down after the unplanned 4am wakeup and weighed in when I got up for the day.
Jan3: 4am wakeup again.. forgot to check weight just wanted to get out of bedroom to not wake DH with my coughing.. too bad he didn't feel the same with his snoring! But on the mend I think
Jan6: 290.7 3am wakeup.. dammit. Coughing, odd sneeze here and there, rogue ice cream last night with apple crumble pie. Sigh. "Diets" start Mondays right? Going to start logging meals today, hitting 10k steps and start upping my water intake. Back in the day I drank up to 13 water bottles and day.. now I'm lucky if it's 2-3!
Jan7: 284.9 ok seems I dropped that sugary weekend plus more.. but not in a good way. rough night. Took a new to me otc sleeping pill at 7 and fell asleep by 830 or so.. I've been sleeping extra poorly being sick. I woke up at 1144pm. No idea why. At 2 I got out of bed to read in living room to hopefully get sleepy.. nothing. Got DH off to work at 6 and tried to sleep and managed 630to730 then 745to9. I hate napping. My fitbit doesn't even know what to do with all these naps. I also didn't eat much. Nor today yet either. The congestion shifted in my head.. its lessened but I'm still coughing with mini sneezes still daily. I hate this.
I did get my 10k steps in yesterday but today I'm not even attempting it.Jan8: 283.3 1399cals yesterday.. appetite was gone last 2 days but today I feel hungry! Sleep was poor.. i kept waking up after every sleep cycle? So weird. Fitbit gave me 5h37m sleep from 830 to 530. 🤷♀️ used no otc sleep aids this time. I'm going to bed early again tonight.. read for awhile then try for 830 again. I'm "skipping" the 10k steps again todsy.. it'll be whatever.. going to keep focusing rest of this week on increasing water intake, better sleep, knocking this congestion and proper cal amts. Which I have set for 1950.. my steps/"extra" Fitbit cals aren't registering but I just don't care while I'm not focused on "exercise".
Jan9: 281.9 So I felt hungry in the AM yesterday but it faded. I'm still eating throughout the day it's just not a lot of cals. 🤷♀️ Last fall we stopped eating out so much.. mostly drive thru/pickup/takeout. We started getting the Family size kale salad in the deli section.. i didn't even look at the nutrition label but I eat my half in 2 meals while DH eats it all at once. Figured it's a start not eating fried things. If we don't get that we get the preassembled fresh pizza - again no idea the stats I'll be checking when we get each next time - but for the time being I think we are keeping those as our weekend indulgence with most everything else now cooked at home. Hopefully the kale salad is in stock tonight. Pork shoulder is on sale 1.69lb so we are getting one to do Sunday with veggie side bulk cooking to eat all next week. No thinking about what's for dinner.. its just keep on eating this cheap dinner all week - we already have 2 kinds of potatoes, onion, carrots and squash so this will really work well with my wanting to actually set a budget this year. Chicken legs back attached are also on sale so I might get a pack for my lunches all week.
Monday I'll try to care about the steps again.. I'm still working on the sleep issue. I seem to wake up after every 1 or 2 sleep cycles all night long. Last night I managed to fall back asleep.... counting sheep! 🐑😂 the highest I remember hitting was 69.. I did this at least the 4x I woke up and somehow fell asleep to wake up again later.
1 sheep, 2 sheep, 3 sheep....
Tooooooooo funny. But it worked.. I'll use it again tonight.. we also have blackout curtains we just leave up - had because DH had a month long split shift last year - and they actually really help when I'm able to stay asleep.
Ok.. lets make happy choices! 💜Jan24:280.6lbs which means I won't be making that 277 goal for the 31st. But I'm pretty happy the fluctuations I didn't bother adding when I did check over the last 2weeks are more or less where I "left off".. but also this should have been the easy time for loss at the start. Ok.. I need to get serious. 🤦♀️ Why can't I make this a full commitment??Jan26:281 I decided to start a workout program - day 1 complete.
Jan25:279.5
Jan27:279.5 day 2 complete. Its been YEARS since I did anything but walking so I'm REALLY feeling it.
Jan28:279.2 day 3 complete. Sometimes my appetite is just not a thing. Sleeping is mostly insomniac bs. Hopefully workouts will tire my body out cuz my brain isn't cooperating! I think I've been having hot flashes more or less for months now.. and when I get way too warm I wake up and then brain is like "stay awake!" Birthday is not this weekend but next.. DH is 2 days before.. looks like inlaws are taking us to Mandarin possibly. Hopefully I have an appetite that day! Got myself a new reusable water bottle.. need to start upping my water intake now that I'm "sweating" though im severely modifying right now to wake up any muscles I may have.
I caught up my missing few days... going to prep my next post .. try to find my groove with daily posting.
@ozdeelite maybe up your water intake? Back in the day throughout my day I managed to fit in13 water bottles! I was maintaining my smallest at the time. But also biking or walking to/from work too. Now I'm lucky if it's hit 4.. and 1 is usually overnight so hopefully this reusable water bottle is the thing. I use to drink watered down crystal light for like 20 YEARS but few years ago dropped it and my old normal of 5/6 water bottles is usually 2 if I'm lucky or 4 if I'm pushing.
On a side note.. does everyone weighin first thing in the morning before consuming anything after a bathroom break?? Naked. Every little bit helps!2 -

@brokenspoiled I actually drink too much water. I have a bladder that doesn’t function so I have to drain urine with a catheter. Also my bladder is oversized. So fluid retention is an issue for me sometimes.
I’m finally less than I started at this month! After losing 11kg my body seems to be fighting further loss. Or it’s just December lag.
