What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

1/11 134.5 134.5 Shopped at Sam’s yesterday. Lots of steps but tracker on wrist doesn’t count them. I really need to make a strap that will go around my ankle! Last night DH asked how I’m doing with sticking to my plan. I told him about the bump last round and that I’m not letting that set the tone. Down 5# since 1/1. No TMI x 2
1/12 135.5 I made rotisserie chicken yesterday for the first time in months and slaw for OMAD. Finally TMI after weighing and coffee.
1/13 134.5 Today is DD#2’s birthday. Going to the new Great Greek tonight. The grand opening is Wednesday. Tonight is friends and family. I will get a steak skewer. 27 days until cruise

1/14 - 126.8 ✔️🚫🏃🏻♀️ My weight is looking good, but unfortunately today is a sad day. My cat, Beatrice, is in rapid decline after a very long slow decline from kidney disease. She's 19.5 and the vet is coming to put her down in an hour. She's been with me for nearly half my life. I didn't process back when I adopted her that she'd be with me through my young adulthood, moving all over the country, the adoption of canine pet siblings, and then the birth and early childhood of my kids. I don't think I would have believed anyone if they'd told me. May she rest in peace 💔 Here she is in 2006 vs today:
so sorry to hear, may her dear sweet soul rest in peace ᓚ₍ ^. .^₎ 🌈

@quiltingjaine Since last year's whole board quitting and our getting involved (DH on board and me doing tasks), it has been wild. The decades of putting off correct repairs has become apparent. I wish you and your husband good luck with whatever comes down after tomorrow!
The board (president) who had been in power for 3 years heavily influenced the other members to spend. Things were purchased illegally because they didn’t follow the law. It would cost thousands to prosecute and we would probably never recover the loss let alone the expense of doing it.
Be careful how much you take on. We have had at least three instances of spouses being board president and committee chairman. I definitely think that is a conflict of interest!

@quiltingjaine it is eye opening getting to see the workings of a COA board.
Notice anything funny with my unaccepted friend requests?

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.[/Spoiler]

1/11- 153.3 (69.5 kg)
1/12- 154 (69.9 kg)
1/13- 153.6 (69.7 kg) Back from our trip to the coast (~1300 miles/2092 km of driving from Friday evening through today) and back to work in the morning. I did bring the scale although I don't know how various hotel bathroom floors compare to at home. I did have pizza for dinner tonight, so we shall see what tomorrow brings.
1/14-154.4 (70 kg) Not too surprised. Could be better, could have been worse. Didn't make dinner choices aligned with my goals tonight either, but I have 6 more days to keep at it.

@pezhed I'm sorry for the loss of your cat. No amount of time is enough with pets.5 -
🎷 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.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.

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! 😊
1/12 142.4 (trend 142.8) 9.34 miles walked. I was intrigued to get on the scales this morning, would it show my “don’t care” attitude from Friday or my “engaged driver” attitude from yesterday? I was grateful for the number! I really want to end this round with a 141 reading!
1/13 141.6 – (trend 142.6) 4.27 miles walked yesterday, met up with DD & family; gave her 1 of my boxes of chocolates to take home, other 2 are still sealed. Happy with this number, need to consolidate & build on it.
1/14 141.6 (trend 142.5) 7.95 miles walked.
1/15 142.6 (trend 142.5) I’, hoping this is a combination of sodium in smoked salmon at lunch yesterday & weighing considerably earlier than usual, not going to let it derail me like last week 😊. 10.6 miles walked, first 100 miles of the year walked.
Halfway through round, got to make the second half as successful as the first!

Yesterday was probably the hardest day I have had so far on this journey. I was super hungry all day, or at least my brain kept telling me I was hungry. My stomach was not really rumbling, but felt kind of empty. However, I was able to control myself for the most part and ate within calories and also go to the gym for an extra Body Combat class. Even that was hard though as I had to talk myself into going and then wanted to leave about half way through. I stuck to my guns though and stuck out the class, maybe didn’t work quite as hard as I normally would, but got it done. Hoping today is a little easier in terms of the mental game.

Hi everyone, this is my second challenge in a row. I hope to continue at least until August (my wedding).
I’m 35 years old and 164 cm. I work from home, so my life is pretty sedentary but I started going gym 3 times a week since 30 December 2024.
Background info in spoiler.I have tried to lose weight since my teenage years, but since then I gained 40+ kgs. I lost significant weight twice in my life. First time, I changed my understanding of eating healthy and lost around 15 kgs in a year. Second time, I used Saxenda (GLP-1 med), I don’t remember how much I lost exactly but around 10-15 kgs but when I stopped using Saxenda I immediately gained it all back and more in a few months. So this time, I again focus of changing my mindset. I need to lose weight for improving my health and potential fertility issues due to PCOS since I have been considering trying for a baby at the second half of this year.
SW: 103.3 kg (31 December 2024)
GW (until August): 85 kg

Thank you everyone for comments, support and suggestions! It is really hard to continue, trying this hard and having no results for 10 days. I will continue, I have to, but if nothing changes I don’t have anything to do.5 -
Hi Everyone. Having allowed life's complexities to knock me out of the saddle over the past couple of years, a 10-day challenge series seems like just what I need to get back on track with renewing the good habits I have let slide. Thank you @quiltingjaine for setting this up.
I am 5'9''; my current weight is 156 lbs, goal is 145.
So, here I go with my Round 1.

Thank you @quiltingjaine I’m back for my second round of 2025. I want to build on progress made in the last round (SW 64.5 EW 63.6)
Sat 11 63.2 😊 That was a nice surprise. Trend 63.7 ⬇️
Sun 12 63.2 😊 I’m not surprised after yesterday. Trend 63.5 ⬇️
Mon 13 62.8 😊😊 Trend 63.3 ⬇️
Tue 14 63.0 Trend 63.1 ⬇️. Let’s see what tomorrow brings!
Wed 15. ❌ looks as if my scales are broken, they gave me a higher weight than I expected. Tried again and a very different weight came up. Put my big towelling dressing gown on and got my lightest weight! Tried changing the batteries but that didn’t help. Probably time to get some new ones.

6’-2”
OSW: 237.8 (Nov. 2016.) I was actually at 250 in 2011 or so…
OGW: 199 (just to say I did)
Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205
For a short while I will be away from home enjoying some time in a warmer climate. No scale, but from time to time I will step on the scale at the local grocery store fully clothed and after breakfast and coffee. A lot of DNW!
Simple Goals for this round with the hope that they turn into habits:
1. Log my food daily; try to eat cleaner and work on portion control.
2. Daily exercise; at least some movement.
3. Be mindful, moment by moment.

1/11: DNW
So I just reviewed my “goals” above. I have had these goals for several rounds, and have largely ignored them. I wish my new fitness watch had an airhorn blast notification when I am in violation, because my biggest failure is about goal number three.
I don’t do well with laxities, mentally or physically. It becomes the default way too easily. This round I want to show up and be present with these goals. I am not trying to win the Olympics here, but there is no reason I can’t log every molecule I put into my cake hole, and there is no reason I can’t at least walk up and down the street or unroll the yoga mat or tug on the elastic band.
After I get a handle on these disciplines, I will get more specific about CICO goals.
I am setting a daily evening alarm on my phone right now to remind me of any work needing to be done before bed.
Thank you all.
1/12: DNW
My reminder alarm went off last evening and my work was already finished! Got to keep it going today.
Now, having said that, my calorie count was obscene. That’s why I want to track it. I don’t know what to fix if I can’t see the direct consequences of my choices. Key Lime Pie on the menu for tonight, so I need to bank some space on the CI side.
1/13: DNW
Tracked fully again yesterday. Pardon the pun. It is amazing what gets past the radar when I am not paying attention.
NSV: When the Key Lime Pie was delivered to the table last night, I immediately asked for a knife and a to-go box. The good news is I brought half of it home instead of eating the whole thing. The bad news is I brought half of it home.
1/14: 229,5
To be fair this grocery store weigh-in needs a couple qualifications. It was late evening, fully clothed including clod-hopper walking shoes. (and, oh, I have been eating like it’s 1999. A vague Prince reference for you there.) I have been logging it all and doing a lot of movement.
The Key Lime Pie is still in the fridge. But not for long.
1/10/25 : 227.5
SW a few days before.
1/15: DNW
Yesterday I smoked 3 racks of ribs. Lots of male bonding centered around the taming of fire. Though the ribs would not have won a competition, they were very good! I was able to share a few bones with some friends and family. (I always feel bad when I can’t share with everyone.) And, the pie is gone. ALL OF IT LOGGED!
Speaking of fire, I am hoping and praying for rain in southern California.

1/15 174.6 BOOOOO!!!! This is not a great way to start a relationship with my new scale. Upon its arrival yesterday at 3pm it told me 173.8, which seemed reasonable. Now this morning after an hour of boxing, a nice salad for dinner and eight hours of sleep it says I gained almost a pound?
Hhhmmmpppff.
I’ll just have to use it for a few days and see what happens. No use getting my knickers in a twist!
I’ve been dragging my feet to start doing real work to be actively losing right now. I need to do a deep self dive and figure out how to push through this block. I have to eat just a little bit differently. But I don’t want to!!!!
I know it will click, I’ll lock it in and get back on the motivated bus.
On the plus side I continue to train hard at the gym and I get genuine joy out of using my body to do hard things.7 -

Thank you everyone for comments, support and suggestions! It is really hard to continue, trying this hard and having no results for 10 days. I will continue, I have to, but if nothing changes I don’t have anything to do.
Maybe you are already doing this, but try working in little extra movement sessions throughout your day. Are you drinking lots of water? Maybe increase protein and lower carbs? Just ideas to try. It WILL happen; just you wait and see!6 -

* Strength training 3 times per round.
* 90+ grams of protein each day.
* Drink more water!
*New walking goal: 110 miles in January. May raise that in spring.
SW Rnd 284—152.6
Round Goal--to be no higher than my start weight when I come back from NYC but enjoy the food, too! Not sure that's possible, but that's my goal.
1/11 152.6 I’m pretty proud that in spite of being snowed in almost all day, I still got in my 10k steps. Also, my big bathroom cabinet where everything other than towels is stored lost a LOT of weight last night! Cleaned it out and reorganized it, and that felt SO good! Good use of a snowed in night! I WILL do a strength training session today after hubby goes to work! I’ll have to do something else in order to get anywhere near getting my steps in today, too. I won’t be walking in the snow/ice because we are scheduled to go to NYC on Friday for hubby’s birthday weekend, and with my luck, I’d fall and mess that up. 😂🤣😂 Just realized this is a really short round for me since I won't have scales or be back before the end of the round. Gotta make these days count!
1/12. 153.2 No idea where that came from. All meals eaten at home according to plan. Three different workouts, 2 at home and one where we went to Target just to walk. 56 min in zone. Well, maybe this is the uptick before a swoosh!
1/13 152 That’s a little better! Prepped some breakfasts to keep in the freezer when I get tired of eggs and turkey bacon. Had a really good day, food wise. No workouts to get me to Zone 2, but got in steps doing things around the house and walking aisles while hubby looked for warm pants to take to NYC. I had tweaked that hip flexor again over the weekend, so I’m trying to let it heal a bit before all the walking this weekend.
1/14 153.2 Came home from the gym starving yesterday and didn’t track AS I ate. Therefore ended up eating too many calories—they were in mostly good things, but just too much in one day and too many carbs. Lots of exercise though—a treadmill workout and then aqua fitness class. Then lots of walking during shopping.
1/15 152 I did two classes at the gym yesterday—my first ever Zumba and then the regular Silver Sneakers I have been doing. I liked the Zumba even though I got lost in the steps some. Fun! Over 13k steps. Nutrition was spot on.

Don't let those scales demotivate you! There are loads of reasons for overnight gains! Here are some ....
Thank you for sharing this chart.
Many experts advise NOT weighing daily. There are both pros and cons to weighing daily. When I first started, I chose to weigh every three days. Some say once a week. Each person must decide what is best for them. Personally, it’s taken me FOREVER to realize that the scale is more often than not late to the game… For some, it serves as a terrific daily barometer. But not me -not so much. I prefer every three days. But this round I’m measuring everyday to learn about my thoughts/ emotions / bodily functions…. And learning to disassociate what the scale says “daily” vs my “daily” efforts.

📣BHAG Restated: My FIRST BHAG is to hit 128xlbs on this #HSF journey and maintain a “+ or -“ 2lb range @128lbs by 1/30/2025. I want a sustainable #HSF BHAG that’s achievable with hard work & determination. I’ve committed to an “inbody” scan January 30.

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

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! 1/11 131.0
Will update my goal to 128x for 1/30 vs 1/20 but will continue to ENGAGE for an earlier breakthrough. Inbody scan on 1/31. Let’s be real here. I know this is a tall order. Stuck for six months. If I work my plan consistently for 10 days, NOW, I will do this! I worked the plan only 40% last round. For me, this round is not about the scale - it’s about keeping THIS commitment to myself. INTEGRITY FIRST.
I’m tracking all measures on spreadsheet but will report the PRIORITY to JGMTD [emphasis]

Onward!
1/12 slept poorly for the first time in a week+. Go figure. I’m disappointed (tossed/turned - up @ 3AM) because my day will be off. Had a really solid day yesterday. Hit all four nutrition measures🏆. Best 🏋️♀️in weeks! Maintaining mission and keeping a winning-mindset. Im glad I’ve learned that an unexpected uptick is simply bodily functions off-kilter. Perfect kickoff for this round.
1/13 ✅Pg (120g) ; P:E (1.8) but ate @ maintenance cals. My entire day was discombobulated because of no sleep & couldn’t nap… Cold and rainy. Read JGMTD for motivation…. helped with healthy food choices but gosh I was tired. No structured walk. Didn’t leave house. Non-productive day. NSV: Proud of 🏋️♀️30 min.
Slept much better last night so I look forward to a +day. Refreshed. Never underestimate the power of a great night’s sleep!

1/14 131.8. 🙃 This happens with big activity days & no TMI. Bloated. Super sore this morn. 🏋️♀️🚶♀️early, then 🎾, ✅ Pg, ✅P:E but only <100> cals so no 🏆!! 🙃I was hungry after 🎾& enjoyed extra protein. Still a win. Also played 🏀w/DGS & Hubby. So much fun. We laughed so hard. Great day!
This morning is my first competitive team 🎾match in several months. Will be 🥶(32 & windy) but looking forward to team tennis. Will see DGS after school all week! For those new to this group, he is my “why”! I want to be able to participate with him (keep up & more!) and the rest of our grandchildren as fully as possible, for as long as possible! #HSF

1/15 The scale feels low. I suspect this is also a timing issue since OMAD yesterday @ 2PM after 🎾. I know I didn’t lose 1.6lbs in 24 hours but perhaps 1.6 lbs since 1/1 and it’s starting to show on the scale Or not, right? Will see how I feel later today after more team🎾 . 🏋️♀️🚶♀️💗. Keeping my eyes on the calorie deficit today and the entire process.
The “tough love” situation is looming. I’m learning much about my thought processes and how I’m choosing to change thought patterns. Not always successful but definite improvement. This learned “skill” is most assuredly the core of this health journey…. thoughts>emotions>actions. This is the foundation to improving “what we do”. Change your daily thoughts? Change your daily actions! Change your identity. I’m starting to more quickly & deliberately recognize the interconnectivity. Walking the walk. This is being #ENGAGED. Reading more on building healthy habits. Getting closer to 🏔️!

Yesterday my routine was off and I was thinking about how good a glass of wine would be to have while making dinner. I realize now that I was tired and was looking to an external source for relief. I ended up making a simple dinner and having tea. Hindsight is indeed 20/20 - respect when you need to rest.
The 21 day challenge is fun but it is surely a challenge; lots of steps, fruits and veggies, water and protein. Today’s extra point is earned by not eating highly processed foods which requires some thoughtful planning when you’re a plant based eater.
✅ Day 9 of New Year 21 day challenge.
