ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 192.6
01/01-193.4-(Trend Weight: 192.9)-
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.
01/03-192.4-(Trend Weight: 192.9)- It’s very rare that I would be at the same trend weight for 5 days in a row, but here I am. Today reflects a nice little drop which I did not expect after getting only 1 hr and 3 min of sleep last night. Ugh!!! Meals were good but snacks were off again. My carbs are trying to inch up so I gotta watch that. I’m going for a banner day today. NSV for me, I threw away over half of a pumpkin pie yesterday. It was still tempting, even with being several days old and tasting stale. Very little fudge left and still quite a few cookies remain. I continue to lay them out for my contractors and they continue to leave less and less.

Day 3 : Swelling and dehydration continue to resolve. Yesterday NSV’s-no soda, no FF, hit every goal on my fitness watch. Woohoo! 🥳 💃🏾👏🏾If this part of my post looks familiar AGAIN, it is. Hit the same NSV’s as yesterday and the day before. Super proud of that. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾Five bottles of water yesterday (one was in a smoothie)-no pressure, but let’s see how many days throughout these ten days I can hit these NSV’s.
No work on market bag yesterday. Did a lot of cleaning and now today is laundry. Loads of fun. 🤭 I am excited about adding some decor to the laundry room. It’s super small, but making it cute is my new project.
BP: Deep sigh. Still high with a normal pulse. 153/91, 74. 😣 I’m debating about going to the doctor today because I know they will be quick to want to prescribe something. If I need something, I will (reluctantly) take it. But, I’m praying lifestyle modifications will make a difference ASAP. I hardly ever add salt to anything, even meat etc. (I add herbs 🌿), but reality check: all the FF I was eating, soda I was drinking and obesity in general led to this. I will probably let them do labs to check kidney FX and A1C, but say no to any suggestions for medications at this point.
ANYWHO, celebrating and holding on to the positive, accepting the challenges, and #FORWARD full steam ahead. I’ve got some living to do.
Have an AWESOME day today y’all

Catching up on reading and responding to posts! Sorry if I miss something. The posts are coming faster than I can read or type, lol. It’s exciting to see the progress and support, and inspiring and strengthening to see everyone pushing through personal challenges.
@reshi_devi : Yes, that pain is a challenge to deal with. Bending down feels like I’m going to suffocate myself. You are so right, sitting down to exercise helps a lot and sometimes I have to, and be ok with that. All movement matters. Thank you so much for the resource and encouragement! I will check it out today and let you know what I think. Also, I hope your stress level is resolving. Meditation and journaling are awesome for that. Breathing meditations are helpful too. There are several on YouTube. I prefer the five minute ones. Any longer than that and I’m going to sleep, lol.
@Santiago Alvarez: hope you feel better! The water intake will definitely help. Great calorie burn! 🔥
@judefit : Thank you so much! 🙏🏾 btw, do you have a favorite type of hummus? Mine is roasted red pepper; I could literally eat it everyday.
@skyleen75 : Your “3pm me” and my “6pm me” must be related! Kudos for resisting the pizza! Have a blast with the polar plunge. I don’t know how you do it! I’m shivering just thinking about it 😁
@UTmom : thank you so much! 🙏🏾 I am familiar with Leslie Sansone. I used to have several of her walking VHS tapes (soooo dating myself). I didn’t know she had videos online. And I LOVE chair yoga. It really helps with stretching. I have several videos saved from different sources. But, I have not been doing chair yoga or stretching at all, and you’re so right, it’s very important. Just moving more, resting less, more walking, less sitting. I will add in chair stretching today.7 -

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.

1/1 145.6 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. ☹

I know for a time, @SheilaBoneham was talking about taking a break. I hope she comes back soon. I haven't seen @tiabirdie56 in a while. Hope she is ok.5 -
@capewrathultra thank you for your well wishes about the lose of my hiking buddy. He was a German shorthair pointer who was full of energy to the very end. Looking at your log in picture, I am wondering if you also have GSP? They definitely keep their humans moving! And yes, Pettycoatjunction does tend to date a person 😂4

You can just use today's weight for your SW for Rnd 283. We don't always have to start on the first day of the round. Folks can jump in anytime. Welcome to the group! We are glad you are here.4 -
kristawatkins52 The site I use to find emojis in the BBcode that My Fitness Pal uses is: https://emojidb.org/bbcode-emojis I'm sure there are lots of others, but I have this one bookmarked. Just click on an emoji you like and it is automatically copied. Then just paste it into wherever you keep your notes from each day. I have a string of them that I use sometimes at the bottom of my notes sheet (you don't see that string in my posts). Then when I want one, I just copy it from my notes sheet. I don't have to go to the website unless I want something I haven't already saved. Enjoy! It's fun.4

Day, Weight, Comment
1/01 - 163.4

1/03 - 164.1 - I'll take this! Dinner was very carb-heavy with chicken "alfredo" (the Italian version with butter and parmisiano reggiano and pasta water to thin it out, no heavy cream or milk). Due to the cheese and pure butter, it has a decent amount of protein in the sauce and then the chicken so it was balanced but still causes a bit of bloat for me - luckily it's a lower-lactose meal so no discomfort (: Last gym day for SD and I together. Then the power went out for nearly 3 hours this morning while I was trying to work. I was able to get some things done offline at least so not a total loss of a work day. We have to wake up at 4am tomorrow to be on the road at 5am to take the kids back so it'll be an early night and busy day of travel. We'll be home late tomorrow night to sleep in our own beds. I've planned out meals for BF and I next week so I just need to double check my grocery list for Sunday since I'll need to do an early grocery run to make it back to meal prep 2 dinners (4 servings each so 4 alternating days for us and Friday is typically date night or an improvised fresh cooked meal, not a prep), 2 lunch options for him to alternate for work, lunch options for me, and BF will make his breakfast burritos for the week. Whew. I haven't figured out breakfast options for me but I can improvise. He'll probably be driving the majority of this trip so I'll have time to pre-log meals to determine breakfast options for myself that fit macros.

Previous Day's Comments1/01 - DNP
1/02 - 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 (:

I've been dog-less for the last 4 years. All of my dogs (and I've had many) have made it to at-least 20 years old, except for the last one. She got cancer and I had to put her down at 17 years old... I feel your pain.4 -
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 😞
RND 283 : SW - 138.4
1/1 - 138.4
1/2 - 138.2. 🍎logged it all. guzzled the 💦. 13,500 👣. And no 🍷. Off to the kind of start that makes a difference!

@jspecies11 – I hope you are feeling better
@chapter_3 (Carolyn) – wishing you strength for the end of the month
@judefit1 – thank you for those travel wishes. We did well. Drove our first 1400 miles and are now are MIL’s. Tomorrow morning, we head off for the last 200 miles. I build a two story cage for the cats, with litter box, feeders, beds and doors for mi-ride access. They handle it pretty well, but this is their fifth year, so they know it well.
@lolakinks - Nice to see you back! Indeed dress shopping is not easy!
@UTMom81 @chapter_3 - I’m curious about looking that the apple watch data. Something new to check out.
@lita_loses-it_all – day at a time! I know you can do this!
@_jeffreyD_ - I find my smart devices addicting. It’s hard to decide if that is good or bad.
@capewrathultra - Thanks. I just need to learn to not slip and return to old bad habits. First round in JGMTD was September 2020. Hard to believe.3 -

BHAG = Big Hairy Audacious Goal3 -
#everyone Who was it that was picking up coins on their walks to save for a special treat for their great exercise habits? Was that you @musicsax ? I am just wondering how much that person has accumulated altogether or in the year 2024.4
-
I started to try to catch up on everyone’s posts and fell asleep on the couch. Thank goodness for a four hour nap. I will catch up more tomorrow, but I would like to respond now to @UTMom81 and @musicsax “💗Z2”
I purchased for a small one time fee an app called “ZONES”. If you turn on your Apple Watch, “walking” or any other work-out on the fitness app on the Apple Watch, it automatically links to ZONES once you complete the workout. You can use their pre-program Ed heart zones, or you can custom create yours.
This is my work out today. It’s a quick look and boom-I see my 💗Z2 immediately ! The key is that you have to use your Apple Watch fitness choices to record your zone. If I’m just walking about or playing with DGS, my heart rate is not recorded in an easy to read/summary. I assume I can go to the Apple health app, but my Heart zone takes much more effort to tally/calculate.
“Zones” has excellent charts and summaries to help keep track!

SW Rnd 283My heaviest weight a couple years ago was 239. I got down to 207 (+/-) a few times but I never stuck with it. I always had a side goal like a Vacation or a wedding that motivated me. Once on Vacation or after the wedding, it was back to eating whatever and however much I wanted. Binge eating was common place. Each time I lost weight and fell off the wagon, the binge eating just got worse. I started at 230# in November and decided that I needed to approach this differently. I turned my attention to my eating. Tackling my bad habits and learning to be more mindful of how I eat. I still have days that I stuff myself at meals or that I binge eat but it’s not nearly as often. Even with the small adjustments I started seeing a pound here and a pound there dropping from the scale. I have also been following a few experts and will be making sure I don't cut out certain foods as food limiting can create more problems with someone with an eating disorder such as binge eating and why my binging got worse after each of my weight losses. I have learned that I only need to be in a calorie deficit that is calculated for my goal weight and not speed of weight loss. I also don't need to restrict certain foods. I have the tools to succeed, I just need to use them. Slowly I will be adding workouts. My focus has changed from the priority of weight loss and 2nd for getting stronger to the priority of Forming healthy habits and 2nd for weight loss & strengthening. I cannot do the latter without the former.(My 2nd round)
January 1- January 10
Age: 3 months shy of 56
My heaviest weight ever recorded: 239
Last challenge end weight: 222.2
Goal Weight: 165
My focus: Positivity, nutrition, fitness
Bring it on!!!
1/1 - 221.4 Happy New Year everyone! Quote of the Day: "Weight loss doesn't begin in the gym with a dumb bell; it starts in your head with a decision." -Toni Sorenson My decision today? Positivity and implementation. A day of measuring, weighing the dreaded photo as today marks day 1 of implementing the tracking of my calories, fitness and progress. One thing I have learned is that you cannot accurately track your progress by the scale alone. Just because you haven’t lost any weight in a month doesn’t mean your body isn’t changing. This is especially true if you are incorporating exercise and/or weight lifting. I would gladly trade 5 pounds of fat for 10 pounds of muscle mass. This isn’t a New Year’s Resolution. This is a continuation of taking control of my health.
1/2- 221.8 Stayed within my calorie range and did 20 minutes on the elliptical. Whew, the first 10 minutes were brutal as I set the program to fluctuate through levels of resistance. Granted I only used 6,8 and 10 but it was still brutal. When I hit 12 minutes I challenged myself to go to 15. When I hit 15 I was part way through the 2nd round and decided to challenge my self and finish it. I actually felt invigorated afterwards. I guess I just have to push through that first 10 minutes.
1/3- 221.8 No budge on the scale but totally good with it. I was surprised I didn’t wake up sore. No work out tonight though. Got home late and ate at 7pm. Pretty sure the scale will go up tomorrow. Sauerkraut and boneless pork ribs made in the instant pot for supper. LOTS of sodium!! But oh sooo good. The meal was worth it. It's going to be hard not to binge eat it. TGIF everyone!!

This is very interesting. I'm curious as to what numbers are represented by each of your zones. Do you mind sharing? I'll go snag a pic of mine in my watch.3 -
@Chapter_3 Here is what my walk looked like on my i-Watch. The resting heart rate my zones were calculated from is 66. Oh, same as yours, I don't get this data unless I turn on the Fitness app and choose a "workout". I talked with someone today who uses a Fitbit to track time spent in HR Zones, but to me, the way hers works, you get skewed data. She told me her fitbit gives her 1x minutes spent in zone 1, but 2x minutes spent in zones 2 or 3. So for instance she ended up with like 180 zone minutes for an hour long walk or something like that. I know I don't want that--too confusing. I think I can get enough info from my i-Watch. (PS, I didn't do a cool down. Probably should have.)

SW - 175.8
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.

Gym: combined chest and back with shoulders and arms bc I’ve skipped both so many times I just needed to get them back in the rotation. Felt good to be at the gym before work though.
Wins: at a calorie deficit with 158g protein. Was hungrier during the day but made good decisions.
Challenges: need to go back to cooking / meal prepping the basics more often. Lean proteins, balanced meals, etc. only a challenge bc it’s time consuming. But much easier to stay on track.

Fell off the challenge bandwagon in round 256, managed to keep losing weight until June 12th when I hit 155.9 (70.7 kg). I fell off the weight loss wagon shortly after. Decided to start back up the day before Round 278 started.
SW Rnd 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 tonight.

@pettycoatjunction I too had a GSP walking buddy. They are a special breed. So much energy and so much love to give. We will definitely have another in our future, maybe in 2026. For now, I get my fix from the Facebook group I'm part of.7 -

Yes it was me, but the coins have added up to very little as so few people carry cash these days since the Covid; so I put those odd coppers into a charity box several times per year now. In fact in the last month it has been just 4 pennies!! Much better that some charity (usually Air Ambulance ) get those odd coins ( & I do donate to that great charity too).6 -
🎷 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.

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. Haven’t met my target this year, lots of reasons, but not going to make excuses!
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.
