    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!

    01/12-191.4-(Trend Weight:192.5 )- I don’t know why the scale went up instead of down. I was on point yesterday with my eating habits for the first time in awhile. Humph…. Traveling today north to get building supplies. So cold out and snowy-I just want to stay bundled up under the covers.

    01/13-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-

    01/14-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-

    01/15-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-

    01/16-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-

    01/17-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-

    01/18-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-

    01/19-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-

    01/20-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-


    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    @Judefit1 @Lita_Loses_it_all "Stress is often called a silent killer. I don't think it is silent at all. I think we mute it." The impact of stress scares me a lot.

    This is why I worry about DH and his position on our HOA board.

    “I also had a "never over" number as well. It was 130. Now I am trying to first get back under 135.”

    Me too! I want to get back to 120 but will “settle” for more.

    @deepwoodslady Reread your post from 1/11 where you say you got too heavily into the snacks. Might that explain your bump up on 1/12?

    Poll: should I place the whistle on the 1) pantry door 2) coffee table in front of the couch (TV) or 3) Bathroom mirror?

    I would need the whistle around my neck as a constant reminder!!! Pantry door, next best!
    Where is your favorite spot to put physical reminders and or sticky notes?

    I have a calendar/journal and I put sticky notes on the cover for things I need to see.

    Do you have a VISION BOARD?!

    Usually yes, but I have put one together since I moved.

    Challenges: as slightly predicted I had 2 drinks with DH last night which put me over my cals. I didn’t even want any really. Sometimes I think it’s hard to not do things others are doing especially when it’s your partner. But he is not a fitness person so there’s always a difference in lifestyle there. All I know is I’m in the mood to fuel my body with good nutrients and lots of water.


    @BigappleBritt88
    I agree. And way to plan for recovery!!’

    Thank you! Felt much better yesterday not having the drinks or extra snacks just because it was a thing to do.

    🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 284 (my 214th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine.

    So here we go again, I’m just keeping plugging away! 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 & also remember that I am the driver of my life & not the passenger. My goal for this (round) again is 2 pounds. 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 relaxing for the last 2/3 is not acceptable! 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.


    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 0.2 pound increase & not the 2 pound I was aiming for ☹.

    EW Rnd 283 144

    SW Rnd 284 142.4
    1/11 142.4 (trend 142.8) 7.15 miles walked. I can’t deny I went a bit berserk yesterday morning after the scales, ate much too much as I was so down on the number on the scales, but by lunchtime I’d reined myself in. Seeing today’s number makes me think that yes it was the sodium from the bacon & has made me feel better & re-enforce that knowledge that weight can fluctuate, so I’m back on it & looking forward to being the driver for 10 days! 😊
    1/12
    1/13
    1/14
    1/15
    1/16
    1/17
    1/18
    1/19
    1/20

    👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!! 👍👍.

    I love your "no feeding frenzies – I am not a shark or even a piranha!" Sometimes when I start to binge I think about this and it helps me "check myself". I am inspired by your dedication and consistency!

    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!

    1/12 - 129.6 ✔️🚫 Surprised by the gain today as I was only over by 500-600 cals yesterday, but dinner was very salty with soy sauce, so I’m going to just ride the wave for now. I did end up doing a core workout and a peloton yoga for runners class that felt AMAZING. Otherwise it was snow play. The kids had a blast sledding. I’m dying to go skiing but it’s hard to figure out with the kids, especially the almost 4 year old. The mountain close to us doesn’t offer anything for his age. So I’ll just do my prescribed 45-minute run and look longingly at the snow. We are having pizza and wings today during the Bills/Broncos game (Go Bills!) so have to plan accordingly.

    1/13 -
    1/14 -
    1/15 -
    1/16 -
    1/17 -
    1/18 -
    1/19 -
    1/20 -

    I just love to hear that people still take their kids sledding! This is something we did often as kids. Now, I hate the cold, 😆. I hope the Bills do better than the Steelers did yesterday! Enjoy the game!

    Both DD & DS have taken our little DGC sledding earlier this week, it's lovely that we have had some snow for them to enjoy, when their parents were little I can count on less than one hand the number of winters that we had snow to sled! Such wonderful childhood memories.

    I enjoy reading everyone’s posts with my morning coffee.

    Highest weight 242 lbs
    Lowest weight 142 lbs (2019)
    Re-start JGMTD Feb 2024 @ 204 lbs

    Round 283 End Weight 173.8

    1/11 173.2 It’s taking an awful lot of work to get the smallest results right now. I’m a bit cranky about it this morning.
    I just thought about this for a moment, I’m actually doing the LEAST amount of work and I’m complaining!!!
    Maybe it’s because I’ve bounced between 168-173 so many times I feel like it owes me something. Like lose the same 5lbs with hard work 6 times and the seventh time it will just magically disappear over night.
    If only!!!!!

    Ok I’m summoning my reggae dance horn to get my head in the game. Now we need a sound effect button in addition to the much requested “lol” response!

    I’m getting fired up this round!!!! Bahahaha my DH just came in the room “I think I’m going to make lasagna today”. Garfield sneak attack, hit the air horn and summon my secret powers!!!

    I better prep a big salad, make that a HUGE salad!!!

    I absolutely love your humor and attitude!

    Drinks/cocktails - I immediately care less about my food choices. I recall one of my WW members (I was a receptionist for 12 years). He was a man upwards of 450 lb, and I will always remember his comment that the problem with the social drinks were less the drink's actual calories but his sudden feeling that he was "the sexist man alive" and did not need to lose any weight. I am learning that if I am going to have a drink, even 1, then I better have made my dietary choices BEFORE, or all bets are off.


    Ohh I so relate to this. One or two glasses of wine and that's it .... I'm a shark having a feeding frenzy, who ever used that phase on here, thank you, i absolutely love it! Sums me up after a drink!!
    Only answer for me is to avoid alcohol all together!
