Comment (01/11/25):
Between the change-of-dinner plans and the 2 unplanned Double IPAs that I had during the Cotton Bowl last night, it's a small miracle that I broke even this morning. Starting the day off with a reckless breakfast, too. Time to refocus.8 -

Hi, I'm Amanda! 5'2" 39F in Virginia, excited to return this round after taking a couple off!
RSW: 128.8
RGW: 127.8
NS goals (tracked for previous day with emojis):
🏃🏻♀️Follow my running training plan exactly, which I think will require training 8/10 days. Half marathon on Feb 2nd!
✔️Core 7/10 days (5 days a week)
🏋🏻♀️Lift weights 3/10 days (twice a week)
🚫 Alcohol-free 10/10 days (doing most of dry January except for the first 6 days I was on vacation )
1/11 - 128.0 🚫🏃🏻♀️I did my first long run in a while yesterday and my body is certainly feeling it. My town has been coated in ice all week so I ran the neighborhoods I knew were scraped but did most of my run on the indoor track at the gym. Holy tedium, I will not do that again. Peloton runs on the tread are much more engaging when weather doesn’t permit outdoor running.
We got a couple inches of snow last night so my “workout” will probably be pulling the kids around on the sled. Not off to the best start with pancakes and bacon for breakfast, typical weekend day. Will track them and work around them for the rest of the day. Happy Saturday!

Day 1: I’m convinced there’s something powerful about resetting. Resetting has had a very positive effect on me mentally and physically. It is just another reason why I appreciate this challenge.
Yesterday went very well. My body is tolerating five bottles of water very well. I am inching my way towards a gallon. Eating stayed on point. I ate 80% of my calories and wasn’t hungry anymore. So, I did not force it. No FF, or soda. None. Nada. Nil. Y’all, I’m ecstatic! 🤩 Day 1 of hitting all goals on fitness watch including 1000 more steps than my daily goal. That was cool too. Working my way to 10,000.
I’ve been working through an addiction daily devotional plan on my Bible app. I completed day 16. I want to mention it in case anyone is interested. It addresses all types of addictions and or addict behavior, so sometimes the devotional does not apply directly, but all the scriptures do.
Today the Steelers play the Ravens!!!! LET’S GO PITTSBURGH!!!!!! 🏈🏟️🏉🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾The game is late in the day, so my big challenge today is watching it with no snacks etc.

Isa here, looking for some accountability. Feeling a little trepidation for this challenge as I'm going through a fibro attack and am not feeling my best. But, I decided it's not going to stop me. I'll set a goal of 1 kg loss for these ten days And tracking all food I consume, of course.

Hi, I'm Charissa.
Thank you, @QuiltingJaine, for leading the charge in 2025!
Round 283 was quite the mental round. But moving on, still seeing success! This round will be somewhat challenging... so my goal is to just finish the round lower than what I started and .1 Is totally acceptable!!! I have a party today for my MIL. Tomorrow, my DH's daugher wants to take him to brunch for a belated birthday present and the 17th we have dinner out with friends.
Good Luck to everyone this round!
Q: What will be different in 2025 vs all the other times?
A: Change in my mindset
A: Being mindful and engaged
A: Addressing the elephant in the room!
A: No excuses
A: DETERMINED AND ENGAGED
Overall Goals for 2025
Lose weight in the kitchen ⚖️, get fit in the gym🏋🏾♀️Note: These are pretty much my same goals from 2023 and 2024, I've made some great progress but now it's time to knock this list out! My goals are SMART - just not including all the details here:

Goal #3 - Water - Minimum 50 ounces - Maximum 100 (only if consumed before 6pm) H2O - Make it Flow 💦💦💦
Goal #4 - Exercise - 6 days a week (Cardio, Core, Stretching, Strength Training) ~ 🏋🏾♀️ Don't think, just do it!!

@_JeffreyD_ I have to share my giggle with you. I first read “laxities” as “laxatives” and had my interest piqued about how it becomes the default way 😆 Anyway, I love the determination and I’m confident you can pull it off!
ME TOO! 🤣🤣🤣
So glad you’re back Amanda!

This is exactly how I feel about hitting reset! Sorry, first time commenting properly with a quote, so I kept hitting “quote” over and over again😆 and trying to figure out what to do next. Somewhere in one of the three challenges I participated in is a post with me quoting the same person 8 or 9 times and not adding a comment 😆😆4 -
SW Rnd 284My 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 3nd round)
January 11- January 20
Age: Almost 56
My heaviest weight ever recorded: 239
Last challenge end weight: 224.4
Goal Weight: 165
My focus: Continue with Positivity, nutrition, fitness
1/11- 223.4 Even though the scale has trended up, it doesn’t mean that I am losing the battle. The fact that I am going to stick with it and not give up is a win. QOTD: “It’s not about perfect. It’s about effort, and when you bring that effort every single day, that’s where transformation happens. That’s how change occurs.” — Jillian Michaels.

Backstory & JGMTD 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 a 5-min lymphatic massage & ⏱️“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)!!!!
👇🏻Progress since my 1st R231 7/31/23 NSVs/Journey Reflections
******************
1. ✅HSF: Avg. close to 9k steps per day for 12+ mos. Not bad. It’s no longer a “daily goal” because it’s now a daily healthy habit - #HSF 👏🏻🤩 (12/11 This is down due to injury - I pledge to recommit.
2. ✅#HSF: 🤸♂️ Daily stretch & mobility greatly improving my attitude & confidence.
3. ✅ #HSF 📝 🙏 everyday
4. ✅#HSF: I play 🎾about 4-5x per week.
5. ✅#HSF : 💗Z2 avg 60 min/day
6. ✅#HSF : zero to 20g of net carbs/ day
7. ✅Clean P:E 115-125g Protein
8. ✅#HSF Naturally IF 18/6. Eating window=noon to 6PM. (At least 5 days/wk)
9. ✅#HSF 💦70-80oz daily
10. ✅#HSF Alcohol limited to rare occasions.
11. 💤 7 to 8 hours sleep per night is a goal. Sleep is still inconsistent the last few rounds…
12.Staying in the present moment is key to mental health and healthy choices.
13.Rotating 115g to 125g of protein per day is now a non-negotiable. In my dreams, I want to be 128- 130lbs #HSF … 😎 I want to be Healthy, Strong & Fit to live out “Chapter 3” enjoying a full range of mobility, flexibility & activities… !

1/10 Puffy & Bloated. Ate late but on maintenance. This will drop. Ok ok ok. I’m doing ok. The point is that I did NOT accomplish what I set out to do. I held the line.
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. I also realize I’m at my self-imposed plateau and this is where my resilience 💪🏻 and actions are needed most. I KNOW THIS!!! Still at base camp and will ascend the ⛰️ top! 🏁🏁🏁.
See yall R284!

Weekend means no work, so catching up. Best wishes to all this round. 😊💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
@quiltingjane-thanks for keeping this challenge going
@kristawatkins-3 challenges in a row!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!! So we actually started these at the same time! Wooohoooo! Challenge buddies! I read further and saw you had a challenging day yesterday. It happens. I see you have a plan to put in place though, reserving a day for your faves. I look forward to hearing about your progress and continued success with your fave day in place. In the meantime, today is a new day and you got this! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
@pezhed-your bravery is inspiring. Best wishes on your half marathon! Excited to hear about your progress as you prepare and your highlights from the race😊
@swimrunrepeat- Thank you so much!!😊😊
@musicsax- Candy still in the wrapper! KUDOS!!! That is amazing. I’m keeping that and you in mind as I watch the football playoff game tonight, snack free. Very inspiring. Awesome walking distance too! #GOALS
@skyleen75- girl the way you tell your story is HILARIOUS! I love your determination too.
@Judefit I totally agree about the reset aspect of this challenge!

R283 : -3.1lbs
RSW : 58.4 kg or 128.7 lbs
RGW : 127lbs
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 more often. Following IF and eating homemade meals has helped. I dont crave ordering outside or restaurant food or snacks as much! I have stuck to not drinking even if my husband is, which I consider a win. Lesson from last round, always have preplanned and ready food.

1/11: What I love about this group (besides all the cool people) is that every 10 days I can hit: RESET. I forget that and get too caught up in what came before and what's coming after, how I succeeded or failed, and general fear of backsliding into the abyss of gaining it all back yet again.
All of that is irrelevant, today is a fresh start- not for a lifetime, which feels too big, but for the next 10 days. I can manage that.
Mantra this round: BE IN THE NOW.
@judefit1 Amen!5 -

Also, do you have a VISION BOARD?!
If it were me, think I would choose the Pantry door.
I currently don't have physical reminders except for the daily weights. I do feel like I need something more for throughout the day. I love the idea of having reminders. I have thought about doing a vision board. My procrastination interferes with me completing it though. I think today is the day that I finally get it done!

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

Day/Weight/Comment
ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 191.0
01/11-190.8-(Trend Weight: 192.7)- I am so INCREDIBLY grateful for this teeny drop. I kept my meals clean and within pre-logged plan. Snacks went well too last night until….. Well, out came the snack monsters. I asked myself if I was really still hungry and the answer was no. I was neither hungry nor full. I determined I did not need anything else, but within minutes I ate way too much extra anyway and all out of plan. I stopped before a full-on binge thankfully but I’m sure I went over on calories and I KNOW went over on carbs. I am going to try a heavier meal for dinner and a lighter one for lunch flipping it all upside down and we’ll see if that helps. Down 0.2 today. Miracles do still happen!

LOVE your "spoilers". Big hug on your backstory! 🤗 Re: partners, it's very hard when you live with someone who isn't on the same page with you, in-regards to weight/eating/drinking. Maybe try to squeeze-in some exercise time when you aren't together. I, myself, have always gotten up early and did my "own thing" before everyone else was up. Solo time is productive time. Let's make THIS round COUNT! 💪5 -

@tishabenn69 Murder? Oh, my heart is truly breaking. I'm so sorry for you loss and I will be praying for the extended families. May God's love and peace be with you all. I would love to hear updates when they've caught him!
@_JeffreyD_ Let me know if you find an air horn on sale. I'm a little broker after Christmas but could certainly use one!
@Skyleen75 I'm amazed at how quickly you thought about making that big salad so you would eat less of the Lasagna! Isn't it wonderful that you've turned that corner and think in such a healthy way now. Quick solutions to quick problems! I'll be there someday....but until then, I must say how PROUD I am of you!!! It really is a lifestyle, not a diet!5
