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.[/Spoiler]
SW Rnd 283: 154.9 (70.3 kg)
1/1- 154 (69.9 kg) Starting the New Year off with a bang! It's probably this low because a decent portion of yesterday's calories were liquid, but it's nice to see a few weigh-ins below 155 sprinkling in.
1/2- 154.1 (69.9 kg) Can't think of a reflection tonight. Motivated to keep going.
1/3- 153.6 (69.7 kg) Exactly 27 pounds down from when I started tracking in January last year. I expect an upswing over the next days because tonight was a team appreciation work dinner at a steakhouse and I quite thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I am quite full. More than that though, it was a good relaxing evening with my coworkers. I feel quietly contented.
1/4-154.6 (70.1 kg) Today was spent with my 9 year old niece. We did a paint n sip, then DH and I took her to the arcade and out to dinner. I think she probably would have just as happy or happier with Taco Bell, but I wanted her to have a memorable day. I went over on calories again, but should still be under maintenance.
1/5- 154.8 (70.2 kg) I'm back on track today and keeping my water intake in mind.
1/6- 155.1 (70.4 kg) Wrong way! I know it'll come back down if I keep on with it.
1/7- 155.4 (70.5 kg)
1/8- 154.4 (70 kg) I forgot to post yesterday!
1/9- 153.8 (69.8 kg) I had a rough afternoon yesterday. I got off work late, had to cancel my waxing appointment last minute because of it. I was tired and frazzled, and really missed a happy little creature (well a 70 pound creature) greeting me as I came in the door and making me forget my work stress. But I got a big hug from my husband who had the bacon in the oven for the BLTs I'd been wanting. Then he took me to Baskin Robbins for an ice cream cone and we went for a drive after. And I was within 5 calories of my goal too. He cooked dinner tonight too. Oversalted the Alfredo somehow, but that's alright. Tomorrow we're heading to the Oregon coast after work, so I will miss 3 days of weighing next round unless I haul the scale to various hotel rooms.

I'm Lis, 61 from uk living in Spain for the last 23 years.
High weight 276lb august 21
Low weight 182lb december 22 (200lb goal)
Gaining/losing the same 18lb since then!!
Lazy summer/6 weeks in the usa gained 16lb
Now determined to lose that 16lb plus another 6lb ... new goal weight 176lb
Round 282 lost 2.6lb
Round 283 lost 3.4lb
1/1 193.2 (weight from 12.31 as it was a very late night) steps 12,013 food calories very low, alcohol calories over 1,000!
1/2 194.6 +1.4 steps 6,255 calories☆
ny day party, no alcohol and only ate my low calorie buffet food!
1/3 194lb steps 3338, calories maintenance
Travel day back to rv and had no energy to walk as starting the ny with a cold!
Still need to lose .8lb to get back to my start weight. It goes on so quick and comes off so slow!!
1/4 193lb -1 Steps 13,405 Calories☆
.2 below my start weight 🙂 hoping the other .7lb i've earned this round turns up soon!
1/5 192.4 -.6 Steps 13,925 Calories☆
Ohh i love it when what I've earned turns up on the scales! Half way through and .8lb down. The extra steps are paying off.
1/6 192.4 Steps17,670 calories☆ extra evening walk to see the 3 kings
1/7 192.4 Steps 11,006 Calories☆
Less steps as it was raining! 3rd day at same weight. Hoping for another drop in the next 3 days!
1/8 192.4 Steps 12,353 calories ☆
4th day of no change. But i know my body and I'm due for a big drop! Trust the process!
1/9 190.0 -2.4 lb Steps 13,480 Calories☆
Wow i deserved a 1.4 drop but 2.4? I have 3 possible explainations .... a) I've dramatically increased my steps in the last 3 weeks and my legs have been aching ... yesterday they stopped hurting (water release? ) b) I've been drinking lots more water in the last 2 days (had to get up 3 times in the night!) c) the scales has been a bit erratic since before Xmas so i put some new batteries in last night.
Just hope the scales read the same tomorrow!
1/10 189.8lb -.2 Steps 15,300 Calories☆
Wow was nt expecting another loss, but if i look back over the last month i was owed over 2lb so happy it's finally turned up.
Loss for this round: 3.4lb
Thank you everyone for the support. I love this group! See you in the next round.9 -
🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 283 (my 213th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine.
This round I’m starting in the New Year & new round, 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. My goal for this round is 2 pounds to start the New Year off. 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. Then for the rest of January 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 or even a piranha!
• to weigh less at the end of the round than the start & 2 pounds 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.

12/31 143.2 (trend 142.4) – 7.78 miles walked. Not a number I wanted to end on, but it is what it is. 1.6 pound gain this round, bring on the new round & the New Year to start over! Interestingly enough, weight this time last year was 143.8.
SW Rnd 283 144.8
1/1 Happy New Year to each one of you and your families.144.8 (trend 142.7) – urgh this number !!! Two meals yesterday, lunch with sisters & not good choices available on the menu and DH & I had planned a special steak meal as we weren’t going out to celebrate New Year, woke in the night feeling very bloated & uncomfortable so knew the number was going to high this morning. So enough of excuses; New Year, new round, new day, will treat today as a reset day, I need to stop the rot! All the open festive goodies have gone, still have a tub of Quality Street chocs, box of chocolate truffles & a block of Cadbury’s Dairy Milk all unopened & sealed, they will stay intact for all of this round. 9.12 miles walked.
1/2 143.2 (trend 142.8) – reset day worked well, may try to do this once per week; 1256 calories consumed, 7.51 miles walked, all chocolate packets remain sealed 😊.
1/3 142.6 (trend 142.7) – 6.69 miles walked, met up with DD,DIL, DS & all little DGC for a lovely day out before the older ones go back to school next week.
1/4 142.6 (trend 142.7) 7.98 miles walked, 3rd consecutive day of engaged eating, feeling in good spirits.
1/5 142.6 (trend 142.7) 13.28 miles walked over Cannock Chase, stopping off midway at Shugburough Hall to eat picnic.
1/6 142.6 (trend 142.7) No structured walking as snow was very slippery underfoot which later turned to torrential rain, snow again this morning. Did the 7 minute workout straight after catching up with all the posts yesterday morning, was quite nice to see that the final exercise is one of the toning and stretching that I do every am before shower & breakfast!
1/7 142 (trend 142.6) – 8.4 miles walked yesterday after the snow had melted. Had to pop to pick up a few groceries, they had packs of 3 of my favourite chocolate; Caramac, which is not readily available, I stopped at the shelf, then told myself I would binge on them & walked away. NSV for me 😊.
1/8 143 (trend 142.7) ! Don’t know about this number, under calories, walked 10.22 miles, only thing I can think of is the sodium in bacon I had at lunch or normal fluctuation? Not going to let it push me off the rails. 7 consecutive days of being engaged & all the chocolates are still sealed! 2 days to go to hit BHAG!
1/9 143 – (trend 142.7) No structured walking yesterday, travelled 2 hours each way to childmind youngest little DGD & do school run for older one, will be doing this each Wednesday for next 6 weeks. No structured walking; footpaths treacherous in Sheffield, had to do the school run in the car which is against all my beliefs when it is a walkable distance. Radio on the way played The Brand New Heavies You are the Universe; a title which in itself is quite profound, but quite a few of the lines really resonated with me;
“You're the future And you've come for what is yours
The hidden treasure Locked behind the hidden doors
And the promise Of a day that's shining new
Only a dreamer Could afford this point of view
But you're a driver Not a passenger in life
And if you're ready You won't have to try 'cause
You are the universe And there ain't nothin' you can't do
If you conceive it, you can achieve it
That's why, I believe in you, yes I do
You're a winner So do what you came here for
The secret weapon Isn't secret anymore
You're a driver Never passenger in life”
I am the driver in my life & not the passenger, I need to drive my life to a healthy life.
1/10 144 (trend 142.9) ugh! All chocolate still sealed & intact, but I’ve obviously eased up elsewhere, not much over calories; another bacon, brie & cranberry panini & extra sodium ? 10.4 miles walked. That’s a 0.8 pound increase & not the 2 pound I was aiming for ☹.
👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!! 👍👍.

Hi everyone, good luck with the challenge!
I’m trying again to lose weight for the 2848284th time for about 20 years. Hopefully it works this time and I become consistent. I am hoping to lose as much weight as I can until August, which is my wedding month. I don’t like to see myself in photos, so I can’t look at those photos forever. I also cannot find a wedding dress in my size that I love. I want to increase the wedding dress options for myself. I know these all sound a bit toxic, I am sorry if I trigger anyone. I have been looking at wedding dresses for a while now and it has been a very frustrating experience because of my size. I wasn’t this unhappy about my body before. At the same time I have some health issues which can be better with weight loss. I also want to try for a baby next year, losing weight will be helpful for the PCOS.
SW RND 282: 103.3 kg (31 December)
GW RND 282: 102.5 kg
GW (until August): 85 kg
1/1 - DNW
1/2 - 103.7 kg
1/3 - 103.2 kg
1/4 - 102.7 kg (water weight has gone!)
1/5 - 102.5 kg (reached the RGW)
1/6 - 102.5 kg
1/7 - 102.4 kg
1/8 - 102.4 kg (I hope to see a change soon)
1/9 - 102.5 kg
This is a bit demotivating tbh. I do calorie deficit around 800 cal per day and still same weight for 5 days. I hope I will see a drop soon.
1/10 - 102.3 kg
Last night when I went to the gym I weighed myself after a week with Tanita scale and it showed that I lost 1 kg FAT, not water or muscle, FAT! I hope that’s correct, now I don’t mind that my weight has been almost same for 6 days.
Thanks everyone for their support, see you on the next challenge!11 -

I’ll take it! Love the slow moving down of the scale. Yesterday was good, went to the gym and did another Body Combat session. Man that is a killer program, but boy does it hurt so good. Spent some time yesterday planning out my next weeks meals, this makes it so much easier for me since I work full time, I am in school, in charge of ferrying my two kids to their activities and now trying to get in 3-4 solid workouts at the gym a week. If I left my meals to chance and desire I would fall right back off the wagon I think. Awsome job to everyone this round, and see yall in the next!

Thank you @kristawatkins52
@UTMom81 I go to the gym 3 times a week, doing my best so far, i don’t know what more to do to be honest.
I didn't mean you weren't doing enough. Sometimes just doing something different will help break through. Sometimes it just takes time. I'm in the middle of a plateau too. Just try not to get discouraged. You'll wake up to a "swoosh" down soon.4 -

SW Rnd 283—152.4
1/1 153.2 Happy New Year! No alcohol yesterday, but had a little upswing anyway. It’s fine. I typically hang out at about the same weight for a bit as long as I’m behaving, then the drop will come. I just had that drop at the end of last round, so I’ll vacillate for a bit now. It’s just the way my body works. I’m getting tantalizingly close to two things: 1. 151.3 will be a 40-lb drop, 2. 150 is my initial goal. I’d love to get to at least one this round, but it may not happen. Weight loss is s-l-o-w for me now. I’ve learned if I try to speed it up by being extreme, I make it where I just won’t continue. So, I’m staying the s-l-o-w course, come what may.
1/2 152.6 Not enough exercise yesterday, spent too much time in the car, but food was good. Headed out to walk the beach today and will try to get in more steps throughout the day today. I’m trying to figure out this Heart Zone 2 thing, so I’ll be playing with that during my walks if I can figure out my watch.
1/3 153.2 Got in two really good walks yesterday and ended with 12K+ steps. Ended up getting in 32 minutes in Zone 2 once I used a calculator to find the ones for my personal resting heart rate. It was interesting to see that I had to be doing a really brisk walk to get into that zone and that it took a few minutes to get it up there. Fascinating stuff, really. Still lots to learn. Not going to try to do it every day yet, but will work on doing it more frequently. I’ll be interested to see if the Silver Sneakers workouts get me there when I get back home. Not sure they will.
1/4 153.8 A splurge on some fried seafood on our last day in Florida. We fly home today. Had a lovely brisk walk in the neighborhood which I will miss, but I’m looking forward to getting back to routine in the next couple of days. Gotta turn the weight trend around quickly. Steps: 11,426, with only 15:30 Zone 2 minutes. Still haven’t figured out all I need to understand about this. It took me 12 minutes to work up my heart rate to zone 2, and I was walking fast! I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing!
1/5 153.6 Home from FL, so hopefully will get back to losing. 13,750 steps yesterday but I tweaked a hip pointer and got little sleep last night. May not do a brisk walk today and let my hip feel better. Need to walk my pup some, so there’ll still be some steps weather permitted. I’ve gotten behind on a quilting project, so there’ll be some sewing too! It’s good to be home. Supposed to be snow/rain/sleet mix today, so we will see what actually happens. Gonna try to plan meals and grocery shop today, too.
1/6 152.8 That’s more like it. Took yesterday as a rest day to hopefully heal the hip. I could sleep on it last night, so it’s getting better. Ate totally on plan. Good day.
1/7 152.2 Finally below my starting weight for this round! Hope it holds. Did some indoor rowing instead of walking yesterday. It doesn’t earn me steps, but it didn’t bother my hip at all, and I actually enjoyed it while listening to a book. Food was on track and very high protein. Up many times last night with River who can’t seem to go poop no matter how hard he tries, so I hope he didn’t eat something that has him obstructed. At 4 months old, you know pups will eat anything! Hoping this will pass soon, literally. Very little sleep last night.
1/8 152.6 Ate out twice yesterday which wasn’t good for the numbers this morning. Back on track today! Got in a 40-min workout at the end of the day.
1/9 152.6 Nothing unusual yesterday. Busy getting ready for two birthdays and the impending snowstorm. Today won’t be much different. Would love to eeek out a little loss tomorrow, but time will tell. I have not gotten in enough steps enough days this round and zero strength training, so I’ve not worked hard enough for it.
1/10 152.6 Holding steady this round. My body seems to like it here, so it may take a bit to break through. I've been within half a pound of 153 since 12/20, so really a month here. Hopefully next week, I’ll be able to get back to my gym classes and maybe that will break the plateau. I’m comfortable in my skin here, oh so close to my first goal. I remember being here before and experiencing a similar pattern. I can break through, but it takes some convincing. I think this is a set point for my body. I’m not discouraged at all, though. This time last year I was in the 190s, so I’m way better off than a year ago. :-) In spite of the brutal cold, I did get in over 10k steps and spent 45 min in Zone. Walking the aisles at Home Depot works if you stay away from those huge doors near the garden center and lumber loading zones, 😂🤣😂🤣. My exercise minutes and step averages are up compared to last year, so maybe some of the hold is losing fat but building a little muscle. 🤞 See y'all in the next round after we dig out from under the snow that is about to be dumped on us here in East Tennessee. Have a great day, everyone!

1/10 173.8 who knows if the number is right, the scale was doing some wild swings. New scale will be here Monday and it will be interesting to see how much of this high is my care free December and how much is my broken scale.
By the way my pants fit I’m thinking there really is a gain. This whole health thing only works if I’m honest but not critical of myself. My eating is definitely still a little bit on the higher calorie end. Slow and steady, I can’t push myself too hard with calories.
In general this round wasn’t bad as a reset round. I’d love to see some small progress next round.
Workouts are on point as always! Whoever mentioned body combat- lol yes that is one intense cardio workout!

I did really well for 355 days, but the last 10 days of 2024 were a food free-for-all! I’m determined to get back to my “summer weight” of between 123-125 lbs. It’s not just about losing, it’s about changing the habits of a lifetime that keep me stuck in self-defeating cycles.
My mantra for 2025: self-awareness and self-kindness

We're going out to dinner tonight with dear old friends I haven't seen in a very long time; I will choose carefully. The vacation is over...

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
👇🏻January Level Up (Down)
***************************
I pledge to prioritize each of these #HSF choices EVERY DAY of January:
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

Will take off 🏋️♀️today. Sound negative? I’m not. I’m ready for a great day -just waiting for 5AM Carolyn to rise & shine.
Annual trip to Waffle House this morn with DS, DDIL & DGS. I love this tradition. I get bacon & eggs every year and will do so again this morning. I plan on doing more reflection later this afternoon. A nap?
Thought about changing my 10day goal to 129.x but I feel like my body isn’t “calibrated” yet from these last two+ overly emotional weeks. I’m sticking to 128.x and focusing on process.
Happy New Year to this wonderful group of brave warriors! 2025 is our year of growth, strength, peace & health!
1/2 130.8 All the emotions since Thanksgiving have caught up with me. I was a zombie yesterday. Hit a wall. Little sleep = No motivation. It is what it is and I know I’ll recover soon. Ate @ maintenance and hit macros. Spent and sluggish. No movement. Since I’m naturally an introvert, non-stop social activity for a month+ took a toll. Nice visit at Waffle House but came home tired and couldn’t nap. Couch potato to bring on the new year! Will be better today. 💤7 hrs.
Today:🤸🏼🎾⏱️🏋️♀️🚶♀️💗
PS Toward the end of January we will have an unsettling family situation (tough-love), and I’m already starting to become overwhelmed. Maintaining a healthy mindset is my challenge this month… I made commitments to myself for January based upon ignoring this situation, and now I just hope to get through it. Not sharing this for hugs or concern… Simply sharing because it may impact my ability to follow through. Emotional life-changing decisions can impact our ability to take care of ourselves… Perhaps not… Maybe this past year has equipped me for this. I just have to get over this hill, one step at a time. Putting crap in my mouth or implementing couch potato status doesn’t solve anything.
I am thankful that I have adopted healthy habits & this group to keep me present & thankful. Time to summon 5AM Carolyn. More often than not, I forget God is in 💯control.
“I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me”
1/3 131.8 Out to dinner last night with siblings… Systems still out of whack. Ordered smart, hit macros but ate more & later than usual. Horrible sleep! Maybe 4 hrs? Hubby OOT till Sunday. (Much easier in the kitchen!) Played 🎾 for the first time yesterday in 3 wks. (& it showed!) Sore! Skipped 🏋️♀️⏱️. Today, playing 🎾again and will be with DGS this afternoon. 🏋️♀️⏱️🥩 💦💦💦! I shall ENGAGE every ounce of my being to make this a 🏆day. Onward!
1/4 131.8 I was all over the place yesterday. Today I will remain mindful and present. [ENGAGED]. No commitments to myself because I’m headed to purchase a new phone & watch and it will probably take all day. Yearning to stay positive.
1/5 🏆Hit all three nutrition marks. Took another day off from movement except managed 🚶♀️7k & 🏋️♀️15 min. Not enough to earn the “emoji” but were NSVs nonetheless. Sleeping better! New phone and watch will arrive Tuesday. 💪🏻😎
DEEP AGAIN: I managed a great deal of positive prayer & reflection yesterday… January tends to be a mental 🎢 . I start off with high hopes, slip into melancholy then finish with gratitude. (Both my parents died this time of year 13mos apart…) It’s a familiar pattern. But yesterday I was able to catch my thought patterns and turn them around. I credit 🙏 & this health journey of forming new habits … I recognize that I have the luxury of being able to stop my life and gather my thoughts. Having the choice of being proactive versus reactive. The majority don’t have that luxury. Life is blasting moment to moment with responsibilities and staying afloat.
I was also kind to myself yesterday. That’s a REAL win! I looked over my journals, and I need to celebrate that January is usually a strong nutrition and activity month for me… but It’s always a mental WAR. I’m not exaggerating here. WAR. I tend not to self-comfort with food or another vice… I just tend to FREEZE. I become motionless. I am making slow progress, and with that I am very pleased. Today I want to 🏋️♀️. Supposed to be a rain out, so I will be creative indoors.
I have even thought about my “ceiling “…. Is this mental WAR all about reaching a “false ceiling” and not pushing through?!?!!!
Hmmmmm….
Onward!
I finally read through R282 & R283. I want to thank everyone for your encouragement to me and JGMTD. Grief, stalls, losses, gains, many daily victories & NSVs. We have a wonderfully supportive group & wisdom abounds. A plethora of “kernels” to keep close! I will stay current. I’ve got plenty of motivation after reading through the round!
😎💪🏻❤️
1/6 130.8 Nutrition 🏆. Hitting all three measures gets a 🏆. Another day = battle of the mind. Forced myself 🚶♀️💗🏋️♀️. Will claw my way through. 🎢 of thoughts/emotions continue and managing to 🙏& somehow slowly get back on track. God is faithful. Hubby is finally home. Maybe I just missed him? 😎 Record low temperatures🥶🥶 the next three days. I will follow Charissa’s (@itlaydee) lead! Another 7 min too.
1/7 Scale is steady. Darn.
Yesterday I was successful with 🚶♀️💗 but not 🏋️♀️. I also ate well but at maintenance and not a deficit. Carbs up. Cold weather thru me off. Our house had a sudden urge for beef stew… acquiesced. Had fun in kitchen. Delicious. Pure whole food & high protein beef broth. I haven’t had 🥕 or 🥔 in eons, and so it was unusual. No digestive issues so far. Macros off. Back on it today. Hubby gets all the leftovers. Cooking took the place of 🏋️♀️. I literally FORGOT! I’m guessing that was a good thing simply because I got out of my head. Fresh start AGAIN today.
Solidifying morning and evening routines for inclimate days. Let’s be ready regardless of weather.
1/8 ngl - the ⚖️ can be disappointing when I’ve followed plan without going down. Read this yesterday:
1/9 ⚖️ Four days same weight. Never has this happened in the history of mankind. Tomorrow will shake the scale and see what’s up. At least I’m pleased there aren’t any inexplicable wild swings.
If I want to lose several lbs of fat I must maintain a calorie deficit with high protein more than several days. Maintenance kcals with lower protein simply will not do it. I wont reach my 1/10 BHAG, but I’ve learned a great deal & will keep “chipping away.”
Lost the entire day getting phone and watch set up. Thank goodness this happens once a decade. Sheesh! Tracked & 🏋️♀️. Nutrition win!
Today: 🚶♀️🏋️♀️, pray & fulfill protein goals. Pretty good combination! Engaged. Onward!

Give myself a B- this round. The melancholy is real when it strikes. I battled back super well but didn’t get my 🥩🏋️♀️or deficits when I COULD. This past week below normal temps and rain. Must have a battle plan for inclimate weather & lack of mental fortitude. After all, I have full access to a gym/ sorts complex, spa which is considered by many as one of the best in the south. I have zero excuses. Social phobia be damned! I also realize I’m at my self-imposed “ceiling” (plateau) and this is where my resilience 💪🏻 and actions are needed most. I KNOW THIS!!! Still at base camp and will ascend the ⛰️ top! 🏁🏁🏁. Will summon 5AM Carolyn. Where is my whistle? See yall R284!

GW - 155
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 at a minimum.
5. -200 cal deficit on gym days
6. If I go over cals, try to cap it at +200

Gym: chest and back + cardio
Wins: went to gym before work. Today is my last day of work and then my vacation starts. Hallelujah 🙌🏽 lol
Challenges: need to go food shopping so there’s no food prepared in the fridge for work today. Still will be able to make healthy options with what’s in the freezer. Just need to take the time to actually do it. Potential vacation challenge is my DH is most likely going to turn nocturnal and drink and eat snacks for the sake of enjoying our time off. I don’t have any desire to actually do that but it can get difficult when I’m at a calorie defect and staying up later than normal. I start looking at those snacks like 👀👀👀

This whistle is MY whistle. It’s what I shall respond too. A self-proclaimed almost washed-up jockette needs an ever-present coach. It’s also kinda funny. It’s in plain sight now.

Round 283
January 1—10, 2025
My Round 4 😊 I am a 70 year old retired RN, caregiver for my husband and my mother in ne Ohio.
HW 222 in 2017
GW 130
Goals this new year session:
7. Keep net carbs below 30
8. Keep kcal below 1200—I am only 4’11” and sedentary
9. Record ALL dietary intake
10. Lose one pound in ten days
👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE 👍👍
SW Rnd 283
1/1 145.6 Happy New Year!!!!
1/2 145.8 Over in calories yesterday and did not exercise or practice my swing. ☹ Rested/slept, sky gray/gloomy, snowing off and on, and COLD! Br-r-r. It is difficult to be enthused when it is gloomy and cold. Made a list of chores for today to help keep on track. Huge issues with insurance for my mom in 2025. I will be working on that for quite some time. ☹
1/3 145.8 Snowing
1/4 145.2 Snowing, On track
1/5 144.6 I think I got my mother’s Medicare Advantage plan correct. I enrolled her in a new one in October with a start date of Jan 1. Her old one received a notice from Medicare that she was changing insurances and they cancelled her effective December 1; leaving her without insurance for a month. I asked them to continue her insurance to Jan 1 and instead, they reenrolled her. When they did that, Medicare sent the new insurance a notice that she was changing plans and they never started her. I re-enrolled her with number two on Jan 1 and was told that she would not be active until Feb 1. I contacted number one and they told me that they only renewed her until Dec 31. By now I am freaking out thinking that she would not have any insurance for TWO months. After much discussion and going up the ladder, number one will now continue her until Feb 1. I hope that does not trigger another letter from Medicare to number two. This could have turned into a catastrophe if Mom became ill or injured.
1/6 144.8 On plan yesterday Snowing
1/7 143.8 On plan yesterday snowing
1/8 143.4 Too low on both carbs and calories yesterday. Snowing
1/9 143.6 On plan yesterday still Snowing ☹
1/10 142.4 On plan yesterday. 4 degrees F out there today with snow expected this afternoon. Brrrrrrrrrrr

SW RND 282 - 229
Dates = Weight ; Comments regarding prior day.
1/1 231~ 🚶🏽💧Yesterday was still 2024
Pasta, chips & dip, wine and champagne. It's all here No worries though - today is 1/1/25 and I'm ready!
1/2 231 ~ 🍎💧 No movement. I stayed under calorie goal, stopped eating at 7:30 and fasted today for 16.5 hours. 50 ounces of water down. I'm good.
1/3 227.4 ~🚶🏾♀️🍎💧⬇️ Now that's what I'm talking about! That's what eating and drinking like a normal person will do for you. I didn't hit my protein and was over just a bit on carbs but within calorie range.
1/4 225.6 ~🚶🏽🍎💧⬇️ I know this won't last, at least not at this rate...but it's fun right now. Seriously though....I gained 7 of these pounds in December, so I "expect" them to disappear almost as quickly as they came.Water weight. The proof is the number of times I got up to go pee the last 2 nights
1/5 226.0 ~ 🚶🏽🍎✅💧~ ok with this number especially with the results of the lat couple of days. Also was at the top end of the calorie range so fair is fair! Someone asked about the wind when I was walking outside....they hit the nail on the head! I forgot about the "hawk" and it was not windy yesterday. It was actually a bright, sunshiny, cold day! Let's see what today brings.
1/6 224.5 ~ 🍎✅💧⬇️One more pound to get back to my "real" starting weight Pondering the gym today. I had planned to go but hearing it's icy... may have to do plan b...but I will give it a try.
1/7 223.5 ~ 🚶🏽🏋️♀️🍎✅💧⬇️ I didn't expect this down trend to continue but I've very happy about it. This is my true "starting" weight to actually lose weight. The rest was all temporary aka recent gain over the holidays so this is when the rubber hits the road...I did venture out and it wasn't icy at all, so got in a good workout. Today is a work day so workout in the basement, which is still decent.
1/8 222.6 ~ 🍎✅💧⬇️ Sweet! I've got 1.5 hours to go to get to my 16 hours. Today is the first day that I've been a bit hungry with this much time to go. I'm just going to keep busy and let the body feed off of the fat
1/9 224.0 ~ 🚶🏽BUT marking as inconclusive. I expected to go up as yesterday was my husband's birthday. I ate a light lunch and then we went out for dinner. Dinner was reasonable, but the additional calories came from cocktails. But all anticipated and enjoyed. When I first got on the scale, it was bouncing all around, so I got off and went to make coffee. I came back and it settled on 224, which makes sense based on the trend this round. Then I decided to shift the scale a bit on the floor and weigh again. That's when all *kitten* broke loose. I got a high of 232 and a low of 228, so I don't know what's going on. I'm going to wait and see what tomorrow brings. Assuming that it has been in error all week.... then I'm probably going to be at about 226 - 227 which is more in line with a loss for 10 days, so not really angry. I wish I had moved my scales earlier...just messes up my spreadsheet Tempted to change the batteries but I just bought this scale in November....
1/10 228.2 ~ I feel like a kid that's just been told there's no Santa, yet I still got a gift. Maya Angelou said...'When someone shows you who they are, believe them". I say... when the scale seems to good to be true, question it!. I'm not sure when the scale lost it's mind but I think maybe on 6th. Oh well, moving on and still ENGAGED. Round loss at .8, still a loss (gift).
@chapter_3 ~ let me know if I can help.
@lolakinks ~ stay the course and trust the process.
@desolate_angel ~ sorry you had such a rough afternoon. Kudos to your DH for taking care of you.
Safe travels.
@UTMom81 ~ I'm sure you are spot on, your body composition is changing for the better. Nice comparison to last year! Way to go!!!
See ya over in 284!

Round 283
Jan 1 – 10, 2025
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
1/1 – 137.6 Good early morning! And Happy New Year to you all! It is before 6 and I am have 1 hour to finish getting ready and pack up the car to start our long drive. We will drive roughly 800 miles today and arrive in Wilson NC where we stay overnight in a rare hotel that allows cats. I plan to take some time trying to catch up by reading all of round 282 today. I have been so disconnected. Catch you all later.
1/2 – 137.4 I did not end up on my computer yesterday like I planned. DH wanted us to listen to a podcast together. It’s 6:45 and I am reloading the car. Yesterday was of course lousy for exercise, and not perfect on calories, but I did track everything, so that is a win. @UTMom81 I appreciate the travel wishes. Going to try again today to get on the computer.
1/3 – 136.8 I should have mentioned that I packed my travel scale for the road trip. It is such a great tool, if daily weighing is supportive to you. Anyhow I am pleasantly surprised for the little bit down in weight. I tracked the whole day until I arrived a MIL’s house and she fed us homemade lasagna and meatballs. During the day breakfast started with a hotel sausage biscuit and coffee, lunch was a gas station hotdog, and between were some candy and popcorn. And of course, what was my calorie burn yesterday? NIL. I’m still catching up reading round 282. I got through page 6 before DH started complaining that my laptop screen was blocking the passenger side mirror. I’m the only one awake now, so going to continue on. Today is at MIL’s and we are going out to dinner tonight.
1/4 – 137.2 Very challenging calorie and exercise wise at MIL’s. I go from undereating to over eating in the same day. I did ask her to go for a walk as well. We did 1.32 miles in 40 minutes. Not my typical pace, but was nice to find an “activity” to do together. Re-packing the car. We switch cars at MIL’s from my SUV to a 2007 sedan that we keep in Florida for use down here and stop the milage bleed on my car. Will be heading further sound in less than an hour.
1/5 – 136.6 Made to the keys late afternoon yesterday. We’d had a loss of power that went unaddressed and lost everything in the fridge/freezer. So this morning was grocery shopping day. Prices are nuts in the keys, so you gotta work the sales and shop ahead. I did head out for a walk first. Did two laps 3+ miles. Was good to get out there.
1/6 – 137.4
1/7 – 137.4
1/8 – 137.6 Not getting my act together despite arriving in the Keys. Have not even finished unpacking the boxes I brought down. BUT, I have walked twice.
1/9 – 137.4 Still not tracking. Still have not finished unpacking boxes. Still have not joined gym Gotta get myself outside for a morning walk. Got 15 minutes to get out there. Will I do it? I need to catch up with group.
1/10 – 137.0 I DID NOT do the walk yesterday. I am blaming it on not turning on the heat in our home. I was already cold inside and could not bring myself to get colder by going outside. No excuse, but that is what I did. BUT I did walk three laps today before reporting in. Going to make an effort to get into tracking today. I think I need some more food choices in the house, and have it be foods that support healthy efforts.
End of round count down: 247 days to wedding, 110 to dress shopping

Day 10: Good Morning All! ☀️😎 I wanted to get my post up early today. This was a good round. I know I have not talked about the numbers on the scale as much. Was that part exciting? Yes. However, I have a long journey and battle ahead of me and so I MUST shift my focus to be successful. While the scale gives me feedback and helps me be aware and accountable, it is in NO WAY the sum total of all the changes happening in my body and in my life. If I’m being perfectly honest, the NSV’s are what lit me up, excited me beyond measure this round, because of the control, mindset, and determination it took to get them done. And more importantly than ALL of that for me is my daily reliance on God and my focus on honoring Him by respecting the body He blessed me with, one day at a time. This made each day a present, truly a gift. Still alive y’all. All thanks, praise, honor, and glory be to God! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Now, on to 284.
Oh wait! Thank you for your support, directly by cheering me on, giving me tips and encouragement, and indirectly by telling about your journeys, challenges and triumphs. I hope to be as helpful to y’all as y’all have been to me. So very grateful. 😊😊♥️♥️

Good morning !!!
🌞Sending some warmth from the tropics to everyone experiencing frigid temps and snow today🌞
Goals for remainder of Challenge:
1. Meal prep for work week
2. 45 mins of movement each morning
3. Walk/exercise 30 minutes as soon as I get home.
4. No evening/night snacking
5. 64oz of water per day got in 48 oz )
Diet
Yesterday was good!!! didn’t have 100 snacks instead of having a proper meal when I got home… YEAH !!! (just added as a challenge goal).
Sorted out my meals for today from the night before so I had enough time to get 1hr of exercise, I make my breakfast and coffee in the morning after exercising
Exercise
1hour: Walked 30mins and did a 30min bodyweight session
Didn’t walk yesterday when I got home
(my goal for evening walking isn’t even health/weight related, well maybe health related … I’m socially anxious and I’ll do anything to avoid people-ing, which includes walking in the evening in my apartment complex. I’ll walk in the mornings because less ppl walk then LOL, so my evening walk goal I guess is 2-fold)
Even though I didn't participate for the whole challenge, the focus for these last 3 days has done me well ... excited and hopeful for the next one. WE CAN DO THIS !!!!

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.

Comments pertain to previous day
SW Rnd 283 139.5 AW 136.1
Starting 2# higher than a year ago.
1/1 139.5 *Modified to actual 1/1 weight. Gained 3# from NYE dinner. (Yesterday I was 136.5) I’m okay with it because I am starting a fast. I know that increase is largely a reaction to foods I don’t normally consume.
1/2 138.5 Fast lasted 43 hours. During that time I had coffee (with 2T cream), additional coffee black, water and a mug of bouillon which was super salty! I am somewhat disappointed by what I assume is water retention due to the salt. I broke it with a 4 oz beef patty and started another fast after 30 minutes. Hoping to last until our dinner date at 5:30 Saturday! 51 hours.
1/3 136.5 All systems functioning 😁 Only made it 27 hours. Small turkey in lettuce wrap.
1/4 135.5 Dinner tonight with friends at Great Greek. I will have my regular side salad and chicken skewer.
1/5 136.0 I’m attributing this to eating dinner last night around 6:30 pm rather than my preferred 3:30-4pm.
1/6 134.5 Got up late (9am) We defrosted the little freezer this morning. Reloaded it and went to In-n-Out for lunch before he went to Tripoley. Now I can catch up on here and with a couple of phone calls.
1/7 136.0 ?? Going with the flow.
1/8 135.0 Fasting lab work today at 11:30 DH has board stuff at 11, 3 & meeting at 4 lasted until 7!
1/9 134.0 Pleased by this but going out to eat today with friends. We don’t know where🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ Thanks @musicsax! Today of all days, I need to be the driver not a passenger in my life!
1/10 135.5 Expected - fries and chips with bunless burger at Chili’s for OMAD yesterday and then tried my keto limoncello with a friend.

01/09-194.0-(Trend Weight: 193.1)- After my hair appointment yesterday I just completely threw in the towel. I ran local errands in my town and the next for about 4 hours. I stopped at a local restaurant’s parking lot to make a phone call and decided to go in and eat. I NEVER do that! I threw all caution to the wind and ate anything I wanted for the rest of the day. I didn’t care then but I do care now. One good thing is that I hit up the grocery store and did pick up some more foods that are part of my healthy eating plan so there are no excuses today! DD and DGS come later this afternoon so I will have to be diligent but I will do it! I feel pretty confident right now. I am really feeling a lot of pressure and depression from this renovation issue. It’s consuming me. I need to get back in my lane, fight my body’s urges since the holidays and do the work. Me to Self: You’ve got so much on your mind right now Donna and that’s okay, but keep your eye on the ball!
01/10-191.0-(Trend Weight: 191.9)- Wow, a nice whoosh just in time for the end of the round. There is no explanation at times for when it comes and when it goes. All we can do is stay the course. Yesterday was an okay day. Some foods (dinner) while at home were still out of plan. But I followed a nice portion control. No exercise still since before Thanksgiving. My exercise bike has its hands on its hips staring me down and wanting to know why I’m ignoring it. It thought we were friends there for awhile. See you all next round where I hope to hang onto this windfall and continue to make progress and maybe even make friends again with that ever-forgiving stationary bike. Down 1.6 lbs this round.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Ended this round with 136, which was my goal. Tomorrow will be lower, since part of today’s weight was going out to lunch yesterday and having wine. Got my steps, water and logging in, so there is that! See you in the new round. Engaged!4

2. Workout 3x a week

4. Eat homemade meals only, except one cheat meal a month.
5. Calorie goal at 1200 this month for fat reduction.
** I have seen a problem that when I start eating out more, my tastebuds change. I crave more salty, more fatty food, sweets and more often to the point that I am eating out way more, snacking way more and actively ruining my health. If I make and eat fanciest/heaviest of dishes at home, they are altered in fat and salt that it still is delicious but never triggers that same feed crazy pattern. This January I need to manage my stress better and get back to my normal again.
1/1 - 59.8 kg / 131.8 lbs. IF fasted 18 hrs, might not be perfect but kept eating window tight which is what matters the most. Ate mostly in calorie limits. Made a fancy dish usually heavy in calories but stuck to making it at home and served limited portion to myself along with other good nutrition foods to ensure it fits in calorie goals.
1/2 - 59.2 kg / 130.5 lbs. IF fasted 18 hrs, felt hungrier than usual and ate dinnner very early and felt good. I have faltered on IF a bit the last few days since I drink tea with milk in the morning and assume as long as IF still helps me limit calorie intake, things are going okay. Decided to truly follow IF from tomorrow. So far loving IF, since I get to eat whatever while tracking calories in a smaller span of time so I have been enjoying food in good portion as well as desserts last 2 days as well.
1/3 - 58.6kg / 129.1 lbs. IF fasted 20:4, stuck to calorie goals, eating preplanned healthy meals and no drinking. Did strength training & cardio @ gym
1/4- 58.6 kg / 128.1 lbs. IF fasted 20 hrs +, but eating window stretched too long because family was ordering out and I was busy batch cooking for week. Not ideal because I snacked too much in between being hungry and finally ate dinner at 10:30 PM. I need to prioritize myself and my eating window. Family ate out and I stuck to balanced homemade meal. On such days, plan an easy readymade meal so that I am not breaking my own rules. Ate more than calorie limits.
1/5 - 59.1 kg/130.2 lbs. IF fasted 18 hrs, ate in calorie limits, worked out and no drinking this weekend. Proud of myself.
1/6 - 59.1kg/130.2lbs. IF fasted 20 hrs, ate in calorie limits, no drinking.
1/7 - 58.5kg/128.9lbs. IF fasted 20 hrs, ate in calorie limits, no drinking. Had plan to workout but couldn’t because of a friend’s unexpectedly long visit. Did 12K steps. Workout next day to makeup. My fitnit is on fritz so have to rely in phone to track steps. Look into ordering a new tracker.
1/8 - 58.5kg/128.9lb. IF fasted 18 hrs. Snacked a bit but kept control on quantity. Ate in calorie limits, no drinking. Did Strength training @gym + 20 min cardio.
1/9 - 58.5 kg/128.9lbs. IF fasted 20 hrs, ate in calorie limits, no drinking. Did 8K+steps.
1/10 - 58.4kg/128.7lbs. IF fasted 21 hrs. Sudden plans for a meal out. Pre-planned for burrito bowl to be eaten in pre-defined portion.

Very inspiring.
Thank you musicsax. Sometimes I need reminders to do better for myself. I really need to get it framed and hang it in my bathroom as a reminder every morning.

Caught up reading round 282, now I just need to catch up on round 283, and then I should be good to go!!
@tishabenn69 I am very curious about your new weight bench. I am looking to join the gym, but always good to have some “home” options as well.
I love the weight bench! It's perfect for what I need. I am too self conscious to go to a Gym so this is the next best option. I got it off amazon.
