02/03 174.2 I’m not going to lie, did I daydream about the scale magically saying 168 again???? Yes.
But do I feel good about maintaining? Absolutely!!!!
My back is feeling just the slightest bit off and I’m going to be careful working out this morning. I fell asleep awkwardly on the couch last night instead of going to bed like a good baby.
I’m really focused on getting everything I can from my workouts right now while I’m in winter mode. I’ll have to remind myself today to take it easy and not risk my two best training months.
DH finished revamping my linen closet that was a crumbling plaster and lath nightmare that couldn’t hold shelves so it had an old dresser shoved in it.
I now have a beautiful fully cedar linen closet with ample shelving!!!! I really love proper storage and home organization.
Operation closets 2025 is off to a good start, entryway coat closet is next…

@pezhed congratulations on your race! What an inspiration you are! You look wonderful in that photo. I'd be dragging myself around, but you look radiant!!!

@Chapter_3 I agree that it's time to be kinder to yourself. If you never lost another pound, you are in excellent physical shape and are able to enjoy an active lifestyle and time with that special grandson--your why! So, take the time to enjoy and stress a little less, please!

Hi, I'm Charissa.

Thank you, QuiltingJaine, for leading the charge in 2025!

This is the "rubber hits the road" round for me. Before getting sick last round, I was .7 higher than my starting 2025 weight. So all losses were due to my illness. I just need to tell this to my brain! I also need to make sure I'm expecting realistic losses which is about 1lb.

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#1 - Calories - Aim and plan for 1200; allow 400 just in case for a total of 1600. **Eat well 🥗to Live Well 🚢✈️🧳
Goal#2 - Wine/Alcohol Reduction - 85% Dry January or better ** 🚫🍷 Alcohol kills weight loss as the focus is burning alcohol calories and not fat calories!
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!!
Goal #5 - Self Care (Reading, Journaling, Monthly recap, Learning, Pampering)
Goal #6 - Organization and Declutter (Finish unpacking)
** To get to 100%

1/31 - 166.9
2/01 - 166.4
2/02 - 167.8
2/03 - 169.4 - Ouch. Not without reason, though. BF was home this weekend and I only got about a day and a half to spend with him. We ended up having lunch and dinner out Saturday (lunch was reasonable, dinner was pizza). Due to meal prep and my kitchen being a bit overcrowded with that, I ended up splitting the rest of the leftover pizza with BF for lunch Sunday. Dinner was very early (3pm compared to our normal 5-6pm) so I was quite hungry before bed and ate again. I was in my emotions from BF being gone another week so I didn't make the best choices. Fortunately, during the work week I have routine to keep me in check. He's gone this week and next week so I'll only have 1 more weekend that routine will be disrupted. I know now, though, so hopefully next weekend won't be so challenging to get through and I can avoid a mini-binge. Managed the gym this morning despite feeling rather bleh about the whole binge and, honestly, feeling a bit ill from it, too. I'm glad I went, though, and I know I'll feel better for it in short order. Here's to progress and learning!

Previous Day's Comments

1/31 - TOM showed up this morning a bit unexpectedly. This is okay, I figured it was going to arrive sooner than my app had estimated and I was right listening to my body. Hopefully this means some extra bloating will drop off in the coming days. I'm not holding my breath given it is a weekend and BF is coming home tonight. We're postponing date night to tomorrow since he'll be arriving home so late due to rush hour traffic being unavoidable and I know he just wants to get home. I'll make something tonight that's healthy and balanced for us both. All else is going well, though! I need to make a meal plan for next week so I can grab groceries tomorrow so I'll start on that here shortly since work is over.
2/01 - As expected, a nice drop now TOM's arrived. Today is a bit up in the air with food as we postponed date night to today since the Man arrived home so late from training last night and just wanted to relax at home. It's lunch but he has some errands he'd like to run so I'm not sure if we'll eat out or grab something at home before heading out. I'll do my best to eat sensibly regardless. Also need to squeeze in a walk with the dogs at some point today, particularly now that it's nice and sunny and it's warming up quite a bit.

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

JamesClear “New goals don't deliver new results. New lifestyles do. And a lifestyle is a process, not an outcome. For this reason, all of your energy should go into building better habits, not chasing better results.”

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

I need to STAY ENGAGED because I’m the DRIVER not the passenger in this life.

Hi, I'm Charissa.

Thank you, QuiltingJaine, for leading the charge in 2025!

This is the "rubber hits the road" round for me. Before getting sick last round, I was .7 higher than my starting 2025 weight. So all losses were due to my illness. I just need to tell this to my brain! I also need to make sure I'm expecting realistic losses which is about 1lb.

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#1 - Calories - Aim and plan for 1200; allow 400 just in case for a total of 1600. **Eat well 🥗to Live Well 🚢✈️🧳
Goal#2 - Wine/Alcohol Reduction - 85% Dry January or better ** 🚫🍷 Alcohol kills weight loss as the focus is burning alcohol calories and not fat calories!
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!!
Goal #5 - Self Care (Reading, Journaling, Monthly recap, Learning, Pampering)
Goal #6 - Organization and Declutter (Finish unpacking)
** To get to 100%

@pezhed ~ Congrats on Finishing your Race!! And GREAT picture!! Get some rest today

@musicsax ~ how long does it take you to get 8 to 10 miles a day? Do you break it up or do you knock it out all at once!

@Bigapplebritt88 ~ I hope your puppy is ok. That's a tough one!

It depends on what I am doing that day, sometimes it takes me a solid 2.5 hours of constant walking (like today), sometimes I break it up such as if I'm going to visit MIL or to nail appt or meeting up for lunch with DSs or friends, or a combination of some or all. Sometimes DH & I are out for the majority of the day walking, that is mainly at weekends when he is not at work, we take a picnic or eat out of it's too cold to sit out to eat & then we walk at a slower pace. Basically wherever I go if it is walkable then I'm on 2 legs. I only use the car if I will have too much to carry (grocery shopping), it is more than 5 or so miles each way or there are time restrictions, oh and if it is heavy rain, snow or ice! I'm retired so I have the time 😁.

Backstory
In 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 Challenges
Goals
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 9mo and a 1yr 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 Goals
1. 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
7. Weekly deficit of 1300cals.

Helpful Reminders
…it IS possible to achieve my goals. Sometimes it CAN just be that simple…

Gym: 1hr upper body

Wins: ended at weekly deficit yesterday.

Challenges: back to work. One of my puppies is potentially getting surgery on Friday. They think he has elbow dysplasia on one, possibly two elbows. Poor pup. They’re doing a ct scan and if that is what they see they will do the surgery while he is still under. Going to be a rough couple of months recovery for him and us. This may be the last few days of normalcy for a while.

I had to Google this as I didn't really know what it is, poor pup, sounds so painful, hope that they are able to sort him out and get him pain free 🤞🏻.

deepwoodslady · February 3

@bigAppleBritt88 Thank you for being such a good pup parent. I am sure the condition has caused lots of discomfort and affected other areas too. Fixing it will ease so many aches and pains, I am sure. Prayers for Pup.

@pezhed I am so very proud of you!!! What a great pic. You Rocked it!!!

02/03-194.2-(Trend Weight: 192.5)- Wow! Up nearly 2 pounds overnight. I think not taking my Lasix has a lot to do with this. I will try to stay home and take it today. Night time snacks are also still a factor. Just too many!!! Meals have been good, obedient, pre-planned. So have the snacks until I go overboard on them. I am not giving up.

60+ Female using trend weight

I gained 0.5 lbs avg last round. Second round in a row I've gained. While they are small gains it's not the direction I want to be going in. My goal is to intentionally move my body in the gym 3 times/week min of 15 min. I will establish the habit of going to the gym and then begin increasing my minimums.

🐸I will keep the analogy of boiling frog in my head🐸

Round 284 87.75
Round 285 87.55

Day 1, Fri 87.5, eating = good, 30 minutes running on treadmill
Day 2, Sat 87.7, median is 87.6 which is above the last round. I'm running 5 kilometers today so I'll keep my food at the same level. I ate a kilogram of peas yesterday, and my itchiness due to eczema has reduced. Apparently it's due to chlorophyll and peas have a lot of chlorophyll. I'll have another kilogram today.
Day 3, Sun 86.8, median is 87.5 just below last round. The peas have worked, my itchiness has dropped by say 2/3. I'm not sure how often to have them.
Day 4, Mon 87.2, median is 87.35
Day 5, Tue 87.2, median is 87.2

astroamy · February 3

I've been thinking about setting a weight loss goal for my trip to Ireland (so excited!) at the end of May. When I set time limited WL goals I like them to be really easy because why discourage yourself and its not a race. So in that spirit I would like to be significantly into onederland by my trip. So my goal is to be 195 by my trip, 10 lbs should be doable in ~100 days.

@UTMom81 @Skyleen75

Your care and insights are what the Doctor ordered!! Thank you!🤗

@Skyleen75 you actually made me crack up… Do you remember the movie “Airplane!” (1980)? There is a scene of a hyperventilating female passenger and then one-by-one fellow passengers are in line taking turns telling her to “Get a hold of yourself”?! Shaking her, then the next passenger slaps her … and on down the line… I had to go look it up on YouTube and just cracked up. 😂 Oh my, such a great belly laugh!

“Just get a hold of yourself!!!” Another reminder that this journey I’m on is my choice… breathe, relax, and be present. ENJOY IT!!!!

“Perfection”!?!?! Wow.
Yes, unfortunately I am a perfectionist when I’m on a mission so I need to keep that in check!!! Thank you for the Tough-love peptalk… and the belly laugh to go along with it!! 🤗

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 286: 149.9 (68 kg)

1/31- 149.8 (67.9 kg) Off to a good start. Honestly, I would be happy just to end this round anywhere in the 140s. It was supposed to snow today, but the weather warmed up and we've had rain all day instead. I'm glad I didn't have to commute home in a mess but I'm hoping the mountains got some snow to build up the snowpack.
2/1- 149.1 (67.6 kg) Today my husband insisted I buy new bras because none of them fit. I have been resorting to wearing my sports bra and even that was on its tightest setting and wasn't as supportive any more. So we drove 170 miles (275 km) one way to Dillard's so I could go somewhere with fitters and a decent selection. I had forgotten how nice it is to have properly fitting and supportive undergarments. I should have done this a long time ago.
2/2- 149.8 (67.9 kg) Only a semi-productive day but that's okay.
2/3- 149.3 (67.7) Crazy busy Monday at work. Turkey tacos for dinner tonight. Staying in calories.

02/04 173.2 I would certainly be happy if this was the start of a wobbly path down the scale. I have been working really hard to shave off calories where it’s the least painful. I’m not pushing myself too hard but I know that the little choices will add up.
My second workout was a fun cardio blast in the evening with a friend. I have definitely not been getting enough consistent cardio. I really only do one straight hour of cardio a week. Plenty of 10-15 minute intervals but sustained cardio is missing.
My back is a little inflamed and I’m working out with care.
I’ve got my early morning motivation to do my best. Hoping I can carry it through the entire day.

Ten Days Round 286

I've made it through one complete round. This round's goals are the same.
Daily I will weigh myself; record everything I eat & drink; and post to stay mindful of good habits.

My universe is insane right now. I've had no time to read everyone's posts. I'm missing out on valuable insight. Hopefully, I'll get a breather during this round.

Wishing SUCCESS to us all! 🙂

Ended Round 285 at 152.2lbs, up 1.0lbs for the round

1/31 - 152.6 ⬆️0.4lbs
2/1- 152.6 ➖ 0.0lbs
2/2 - 149.0 ⬇️3.6lbs
2/3 - 149.4 ⤴️0.4lbs
2/4 -149.6 ⬆️0.2lbs

1/31 - Weigh, Record, Post. All done.

2/1 - Happy Weekend MFP friends. Goals met: weighed, recorded, & posted. Everything else needs improvement but my weight is holding at the docs goal.

2/2 - Happy Sunday MFP friends.

Weighed Recorded & Posted 🙂 Another successful day. I'm making progress.

I've lost a bit. Down 3.6lbs today and loving the 140s as I look forward to the 130s. The massive one day drop is because I weighed myself early. True loss is about a pound for which I'm grateful.

Re-claiming lost good habits is harder than dropping them. This is a good obsession I twice convinced myself was not important. Why do I abandon what works? Cheers to returning to my good place. 😊

2/3 - After yesterday's large "scale victory" anything less can feel like a let down. I've taken a reality check.

I'm still grading myself as needs improvement. The remaining pounds will come off by burning fat and building lean muscle.

2/4 - Damn you scale, up 0.2lbs at 149.6lbs. I'm looking forward to normal fluctuations sticking below 149.0lbs.

Anyhoo... That's another day weighed, recorded and posted. As I get closer to re-creating one good habit I'm considering what's next.

Macros need to fall into place for me to reach my lean muscle goal. It's time to work a new plan based on my old eating and exercise habits.

Glad to see so many here honoring commitment to self care. Reading your posts and comments is encouraging. I remember some of you while others are new to me. (Or, maybe only the avatar has changed? 😉)

I'm looking forward to when I can read your posts regularly. Best wishes for everyone's success.

Finding the tools to find my way…

“Maintenance" is not a temporary step, it's how I eat now and going forward. Learning to eat well through holidays, vacations, family issues and events is part of the process of change and growth to make this my lifestyle.

2/4/25: good day yesterday, ate well and surprisingly made it to my favorite "killer" barre class after DGD's state sectionals swim meet. Their team won! I won't be able to see the next, which is state semi-final against a very strong team, so it's likely this was the last HS meet I'll see her swim. Her senior year is full of wonderful "lasts". It was emotional when it was my children reaching this milestone; it's very poignant with my first grandchild, and a surreal benchmark to where I am in my own life.

Reminder to self to make every day special, and focus on the joys.

2/4 149.4 Another spectacular false-spring day here in east TN. Went to the park for a long walk, then played outside with the grandkids after picking them up from school. Can’t beat a day like that in early February! I am so grateful for the reprieve from the cold, damp, and gray! I know it won’t last, but I’m going to enjoy it immensely. Today I will focus on lowering my carbs again. I have let them sneak up since being sick last round. Time to squash that unhealthy trend. Have a beautiful, blessed day everyone!
