I seem to be all over the place in terms of weight these last couple of days. Had a really late (or maybe it is better to call it early) meal of chicken biryani at 4 am this morning. Body is all out of whack after time off and the New Years celebration, so I can't be to suprised by the scale. Did something to my toe and it is making it hard to walk and get motivation to go work out. Think I will change the plan from Body Combat to just lifting some kettle bells at home to try and give my foot a break, but also keep to my goals. Big NSV for me... stuck with my dry January challenge yesterday, even while watching my husband have a glass of wine! Pretty proud of myself for that, and will use that to build on tonight.7 -

You got this this time though! You will be beautiful at your wedding, no matter what, but you got this. Just show up, take little steps and don't give up on yourself. Have the goal of making baby steps everyday, not giant leaps at once, this will make it easier to stick to I think.
Thank you for the message! Yeah, I am not in hurry, I have enough time and definitely need baby steps otherwise it’s overwhelming and too challenging. I am going to do small changes over the time and hope they will work.
Thank you @Blueberries59

Yesterday NSV’s-no soda, no FF, hit every goal on my fitness watch. Woohoo! 🥳 💃🏾If only every day could be like this one was. 🤦🏾♀️ Going to try the same today because it felt really good. Provided my BP cooperates.
Challenges: My blood pressure was way out of whack late last night and is this morning as well. Last night: 170/98 pulse 79 This morning: 159/97 pulse 72. Will be monitoring it throughout the day.
For several months I have relied on grocery delivery, Amazon delivery, FF delivery or curbside. It’s like I never reverted back after the big C. This has contributed to a very sedentary life, in addition to having a sedentary job, compounded by grief from my mother’s death and my granddaughter’s battle with leukemia (she is doing much better now!). I want to change this year. I have been crocheting since I was 16 years old. In all those years I have never crocheted anything for myself. So, I started crocheting a market bag for ME. Standing, walking, dancing, movement is quite painful most of the time. I’m going to start with at least getting some fresh fruits and vegetables from the store once a week and putting them in my new market bag. I’ll post a pic of my bag when I’m done. It is a total of 56 rows plus decorative trim and crocheted handles. I’m on row 16. I hope to finish before I return to work on the 6th. Y’all please hold me to it because I am the QUEEN of procrastination. No more WIP’s (work in progress)sitting in the corner collecting dust. 🙅🏾♀️
#FORWARD
My BP has been bad for the past 2 days, too. A lot of factors, but I definitely need to cut back on the sodium. Keep monitoring yours, my friend.6 -
@lita_loses_it_all It all starts with the mind set! Getting moving again is really hard and I really, really hope you’ve talked to your doctor and that you have a supportive and open minded one- so hard to find!
I am in no way a professional but don’t forget to stretch!!!! And definitely pick up those boxing gloves and turn up the music!

1/2 174.8 Welp! 2025 is doing me dirty!!! I did get in a fantastic workout but DH had different ideas about food for the day. I indulged. Also because I did have alcohol on NYE yesterday’s number probably had a bit of dehydration factored in.
Time to stop the gain. I’m ready to channel 5am me, she’s been sleeping in lately and 6:30am me just doesn’t bring the same energy.
Tree comes down today. Holidays are over.8 -

2025 is a Number 9 Year, all about endings, reflection, and transformation—a time to release the old, tie up loose ends, and gear up for exciting new beginnings. It’s also my personal 9 year! To embrace the double whammy, I’m kicking off January with nine tasks designed to help me focus on growth and transformation. Let’s make this a year of powerful change together!

(2024 SUCCESSES AND CHALLENGES)
December Summary: I lost 6 pounds, dropped 2.1% body fat, and reduced 14 inches overall. My body water increased by 1.4%, muscle mass by 2%, and bone density by 0.8%. While I hit most of my goals this month, I found myself re-losing the same weight I’ve gained back multiple times. It’s disappointing to end the year heavier than I started, but I’ve learned a lot about what not to do and planning to approach things more strategically in 2025.

AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER and most of NOVEMBER spent increasingly depressed and often sugar drunk. Regained almost 30 pounds and a ridiculous amount of fat without even noticing! This level of sabotage is extreme, even for me. My biggest gift to myself will be healing the holes inside.
July Goals: Starting over 7/12 ~ lost six weeks of progress and regained 7 pounds adjusting to new third shift work schedule. They call it graveyard for a reason!!! My exercise, water and step count have all also dropped considerably. Goals this month are simply to lose as much as possible building momentum and getting back in the groove.
June Goals: Having gotten as low as 193 in both April and May, I'd like to drop below that in June. (FAIL)

6/6 - 195.1
6/7 - 195.3 (LAST DAY REPORTING)
MAY 1st SW: 197.3 | EW: 196.8
MAY Goals: Lose 6-8bs, 2-3 inches and 1-2% body fat ❎❎❎
May 22: I had packed some shorts to change into after swim without trying them on. They were so tight last summer, I expected the fit to be better ~ but when I put them on ... wow. I was in front of the locker room mirrors and was like omg, that's you. How long has it been since you looked/felt like that? I was spinning around looking at myself for a good 2-3 minutes, y'all, lol ~ my New #1NSV
May 4: 10 of the 20 inches lost was off my belly! No pics, no proof, lol ~ I love/hate taking photos because they've become one of my best tools. You can't lie and you can't hide. Putting myself on blast 1) creates incentive to increase effort and 2) highlights new areas to focus on. Still a long way from my ultimate goals, but its nice to see muscle memory is real! At a size 15, I haven't been this small in more than 10 years.
APRIL 1st SW: 198.2 | EW: 197.8
Goals: Lose 6-8bs, 2-3 inches and 1-2% body fat ❎❎❎
Lost less than a pound, 1.25 inches combined on arms and legs | regained 0.2% body fat and 1/2 inch back on my belly. Starting dietary 200-400 calorie deficit and Intermittent Fasting 18-24 hrs. Breaking fast differently, including more protein, and continuing to look for new ways to increase step count and add more strength in May.
Reaching onederland (March 13th) meant the end of 10+ years and up to 80 pounds!! gained and relost too many times to count. Yo-yoing is the main reason for so much body fat!!! Determined not to continue to self-sabotage ... I need a new target!! If I should lose an additional 8% body fat to reach the "standard" for my age, height and sex ~ and up to 15% more to reach excellent ~ that's @ least another 8-15 months of work before I can begin to relax and think maintenance.
January 1st - April 1st, I've lost 17 pounds and a total of 20.8 inches from 11 areas. 🥳 Thrilled to see my hard work reversing prediabetes and years of physical damage. Getting leaner and stronger and chair dancing proud of myself about it!! 57 and hormonal, it's taken longer than expected and a much rougher road than my youth.

Day 2: Yesterday NSV’s-no soda, no FF, hit every goal on my fitness watch. Woohoo! 🥳 💃🏾If this part of my post looks familiar, it is. Hit the same NSV’s as yesterday. Proud of that. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾I forgot to add four bottles of water in Tuesday, and five yesterday.
Scale numbers are going to do weird things as swelling and dehydration resolve. There will be large drops. Preparing myself mentally for that knowing the large drops will not always be the result. I plan to focus on how I feel, look, how clothes fit etc.
Challenges: BP still measuring high 146/97 pulse 75 this morning. Appointment Friday. Considering hosting a dry Super Bowl party and planning my healthier menu. Thankfully almost everyone is on a healthier kick at this beginning of the year.
Market bag is coming along. I am halfway there in terms of rows of stitches, sitting at 28 and counting. I like the design so far but starting to wish I chose a different color, something brighter, but, I’m going to add a flower or butterfly or something to it to bring some brightness.
Friday is heavy bag day (punching bag). I’ve been practicing some punches while getting my steps in. It’s been several years since I’ve had the gloves on and hit one. Looking forward to it.
Getting my steps in continues to be a challenge. Hurts y’all. Mentally and physically. But it’s either this discomfort or the pain of illness, surgeries, and hospitalizations. It’s this pain, or the pain of dying before my time. So, just for today, I’m getting up and pushing through all pain, all discomfort AGAIN.

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.

I started my first ski lesson 2 days ago, and I absolutely need to lose this weight to continue. I was wiped out after this first lesson. But I LOVED it. Edit : I just finished 30 mn of home workout for beginners.

Carolyn- Great advice from @judefit1 Try not to anticipate but stay in the moment. Conflict is hard.
@lolakinks
I don’t think there is anything wrong with having a reason why you want to change, that’s a personal choice. Use it as your driving force to get you through the tough times.8 -
@jspecies11 thank you, I definitely try to use them as motivation hopefully they won’t be overwhelming and pressure.4

Happy New Year gang!
RSW : 59.8 kg or 131.8 lbs
RGW : 130 lbs
January Goals ::
1. No drinking in January
2. Workout 3x a week
3. IF 16:8 min for 28 days this month
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.

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.

No gym on Thursday due to work schedule. Have to admit I’m a bit excited that the holidays are over so that we can get back on some sort of macro focused meal prep again.

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. ☹

Day, Weight, Comment
1/01 - 163.4
1/02 - 165.9 - Too much sodium, not enough water. Also indulged on my last slice of cheesecake for dessert. We had a full table with family as we enjoyed dinner together to ring in the New Year and I'm not mad at all at this uptick. I was feeling bloated this morning so I know it'll drop off just as soon as I get enough water and get back on track with my macros. No gym yesterday since it was closed but went today for a good Upper workout with SD. Tomorrow is likely our last workout together for the foreseeable future. I really hate that she's more likely than not going to be coming down in summer. The house is emptier and emptier every year. Pre-logged dinner so lunch will be easier to figure out with macros. I have quite a bit leftover to work with so today should be fairly easy to make it work. Tomorrow, as well, should be good for macros. Travel all day Saturday so the goal is to be on track and behaving well today, tomorrow, and Sunday to help offset yesterday and Saturday hah! Balance (:

ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 192.6
01/01-193.4-(Trend Weight: 192.9)- Okay, so not the greatest start for 2025, but I plan on a great finish! Last night ended with pizza and cheese bread and a small celebration with middle DD and DS. I managed to stay away from the wine and the adult beverages even though I had it chilling. Weight up today. Hopefully back down to 192 point anything by tomorrow. I really need to pre-log my food today. It’s been awhile. It’s key. Welcome to 2025, a new year and a new opportunity. And welcome to all our new friends who have chosen this challenge. It’s always exciting to see new faces!
01/02-193.2-(Trend Weight: 192.9)- I pre-logged my day yesterday and did very well with my meals. Last night I veered off of plan for my snacks and ended up eating the rest of the candy dish I’d had out at the party. Foolish me! As Jeffrey D puts it, I “undid” all the good of my meals. I’m just glad I didn’t gain because it could have went the other way for sure. I’ll try again today to stick to plan. It’s so hard to get back into the swing of things but I’ve succeeded before and I can again. 0.2 lost overnight. I’ll take that as a positive even if I don’t see it as a win.

Well, @Chapter_3, the walk I just had was enlightening! I figured out that my I-Watch automatically tracks resting heart rate and gives me an average of the last several months. I'm going to assume that is a pretty good place to start when figuring the heart zones of which you speak. I also learned that it automatically figures and sets the Zones 1-5 and tracks how much time you spend in each during a workout if you use the Apple Fitness app to track your workouts, which isn't what I've been using. I'm switching to that as of today. I looked back at walks over the last couple weeks and noticed that if I'm walking with someone else or walking the dog, I never get into Zone 2 at all!!! I'm shocked! I thought I was doing so well! DGD wanted to go with me on my walk today, so I wore her out (still never making it to 122 BPM) and then dropped her back at the condo with hubby and did another ~18 minutes without her at a higher speed than she could keep up with. Of that, I was only in Zone 2 for 8 minutes! Who'd have thunk it? I definitely have a new metric to focus on and learn more about now! Thank you! This will be fun!
Actually, using the online calculators, I would have been in Zone 2 much longer. I need to figure out how to edit them. Still LOTS to learn!8 -

@judefit1 ~ welcome home
@quiltingjaine ~ good luck with your fast. What does your fast look like, assuming it more than just a day. My husband is planning a fast soon. His last for 10 days but you don't 100 fast for all 10 days. The first 3 days you ramp down (eating raw veggies and fruit, broth), then fast for 4 days, then ramp back up to eating again. I will not join him but I will take the opportunity to take in less calories since I won't be cooking for both of us.
Hi @Roxmom66 and @cpanus
@lolakinks ~ how exciting, a wedding to plan~
@chapter_3 ~ you deserve a break!!! Wishing you well on your upcoming challenge. I sense your strength, you will get through it and we will always be here for you.
I'm trying NOT to spend my entire day on the computer...
Enjoy the day!

Goals for the next 10 days 🍎👟👣
1. Stay engaged! That means checking in here daily, so catching up doesn’t become so overwhelming (plus you all inspire me). That also means logging every single day…
2. Weigh less at the end of this round. Hope to see a 136, totally doable by upping the water and limiting the wine. For me it is going to be a damp January.
3. More sleep would be amazing! That will be the most difficult of goals to reach 😞

SW Rnd 283 136.5
Starting 2# higher than a year ago.
1/1 139.5 Gained 3# from NYE dinner. 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.8 -
I love all of the encouragement I’m seeing! Welcome back to those who have been absent!4

(2024 SUCCESSES AND CHALLENGES)
December Summary: I lost 6 pounds, dropped 2.1% body fat, and reduced 14 inches overall. My body water increased by 1.4%, muscle mass by 2%, and bone density by 0.8%. While I hit most of my goals this month, I found myself re-losing the same weight I’ve gained back multiple times. It’s disappointing to end the year heavier than I started, but I’ve learned a lot about what not to do and planning to approach things more strategically in 2025.

AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER and most of NOVEMBER spent increasingly depressed and often sugar drunk. Regained almost 30 pounds and a ridiculous amount of fat without even noticing! This level of sabotage is extreme, even for me. My biggest gift to myself will be healing the holes inside.
July Goals: Starting over 7/12 ~ lost six weeks of progress and regained 7 pounds adjusting to new third shift work schedule. They call it graveyard for a reason!!! My exercise, water and step count have all also dropped considerably. Goals this month are simply to lose as much as possible building momentum and getting back in the groove.
June Goals: Having gotten as low as 193 in both April and May, I'd like to drop below that in June. (FAIL)

6/7 - 195.3 (LAST DAY REPORTING)
MAY 1st SW: 197.3 | EW: 196.8
MAY Goals: Lose 6-8bs, 2-3 inches and 1-2% body fat ❎❎❎
May 22: I had packed some shorts to change into after swim without trying them on. They were so tight last summer, I expected the fit to be better ~ but when I put them on ... wow. I was in front of the locker room mirrors and was like omg, that's you. How long has it been since you looked/felt like that? I was spinning around looking at myself for a good 2-3 minutes, y'all, lol ~ my New #1NSV
May 4: 10 of the 20 inches lost was off my belly! No pics, no proof, lol ~ I love/hate taking photos because they've become one of my best tools. You can't lie and you can't hide. Putting myself on blast 1) creates incentive to increase effort and 2) highlights new areas to focus on. Still a long way from my ultimate goals, but its nice to see muscle memory is real! At a size 15, I haven't been this small in more than 10 years.
APRIL 1st SW: 198.2 | EW: 197.8
Goals: Lose 6-8bs, 2-3 inches and 1-2% body fat ❎❎❎
Lost less than a pound, 1.25 inches combined on arms and legs | regained 0.2% body fat and 1/2 inch back on my belly. Starting dietary 200-400 calorie deficit and Intermittent Fasting 18-24 hrs. Breaking fast differently, including more protein, and continuing to look for new ways to increase step count and add more strength in May.
Reaching onederland (March 13th) meant the end of 10+ years and up to 80 pounds!! gained and relost too many times to count. Yo-yoing is the main reason for so much body fat!!! Determined not to continue to self-sabotage ... I need a new target!! If I should lose an additional 8% body fat to reach the "standard" for my age, height and sex ~ and up to 15% more to reach excellent ~ that's @ least another 8-15 months of work before I can begin to relax and think maintenance.
January 1st - April 1st, I've lost 17 pounds and a total of 20.8 inches from 11 areas. 🥳 Thrilled to see my hard work reversing prediabetes and years of physical damage. Getting leaner and stronger and chair dancing proud of myself about it!! 57 and hormonal, it's taken longer than expected and a much rougher road than my youth.6
