    I am definately with you on the 2848284th time wagon. It can be frustrating to know you want to do something and then find yourself sabatoging that goal every chance you get.

    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

    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)

    6/5 - 196.8
    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 :smiley:

    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! :smiley: 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.

    👏👏
