2/3 149.4 Lots of walking on a gorgeous day! I SO enjoyed yesterday!!! Supposed to be beautiful again today, so let's see what I can get into!
2/4 149.8 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. 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.
2/5 150 I really think this is just because I am finally feeling better now and am eating normally again. I did well with my diet yesterday and got in lots of walking on another really beautiful day! We did go out to eat last night and although careful with what I ate, there’s always the salt factor. I want to get back in the 140s, so I’ll be even more careful today. Meals are already planned.

To everyone that responded about my pup, thank you 🙏🏼.

I am realizing that I don’t get a notification for every reply/quote/tag. I got notifications for two but saw as I was scrolling through that many more of you responded. Thank you! And also I’m sorry if I ever missed a response from anyone. Didn’t realize this was a thing.

If what they find is indeed dysplasia, they said there’s a 60% chance the surgery fixes/improves his current lameness (he walks with a pretty bad limp). 1% chance it makes it worse. He may end up with arthritis, need pain management, and reduced activity. Shouldn’t affect his length of life but definitely impacts quality of life. Just want him to be pain free and live his best life. He doesn’t understand. He’s 9months old and just wants to be a puppy. Poor guy.
Hoping for the best. 🙏🏼

Notifications are weird on here.

RE: Pup - our daughter and her boyfriend bought a yellow lab (when in college) and the ad said “hips guaranteed.” Well, the breeder didn’t honor that six months later when she was diagnosed with hip dysplasia. She was fine after the surgery. Sending healing prayers for your pup.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Similar issue here. Breeder has a health guarantee and this is our second dog from her. If we wanted to go that route I believe it said in the paperwork that she could either choose to pay for some of the cost or give you a new puppy. Our pup has been through so much with this already we’re not going to put him through the second option. Plus the thought of having to go through another puppy phase a third time in a row… I am not built for that lol.
I am very happy to hear that your daughter’s dog did well after the surgery! 🙏🏼 definitely gives us hope for this guy.

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…

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🐸

Will make a better effort to keep up with everyone’s posts since so many notifications slip by. Apologies if I’ve missed any responses, friends as I’ve been battling my headspace lately. This month always hits differently with the anniversaries of loved ones I’ve lost. I’m not deep in grief, but I’ve been riding the waves these past few days. For now, I'm just trying to stay focused on moving my body, being mindful about what I eat and speaking/thinking positively. This group is helping with that so thanks everyone for sharing.

There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure. ~Colin Powell

5 Steps to a Firmer February
1. HCLF: 1400 calories | 50% carbs, 25% protein, 25% fat
2. 12-16 cups 💦 plus Cycling Calories and Macros
3. Increase NEAT & Low Intensity Steady State (LISS) Cardio
4. Strength Train to FAILURE - push to fatigue
5. Optimize Sleep and Recovery

EVERY 10 DAYS:
🏊🏽 Swim 60+ 3-5 times | ✅
💥 HIIT 30+ 3-5 times | ✅✅
💪🏽 Full Body ST 30+ 4-6 times | ✅

Hi again, I'm Amanda! 5'2" 39F in Virginia.

RSW: 124.0
RGW: 124.0

1/31 - 123.4

2/1 - DNW. Yesterday I just had bacon and eggs and a bowl of delicious ramen so I probably didn’t do too much damage. Today we’re starting the day with a yoga class, meeting another friend for dumplings for lunch, and going to an improv show. Should be doing a fair amount of walking. Then early bed before the race! It’s so nice to be here with my friends from long ago.

2/2 - DNW. Race day!! Waiting for my Lyft to take me to the start line! Thanks for the good luck wishes everyone! Excited and nervous. I checked out an audiobook from the library I plan to listen to. I forgot my planned fuel in the hotel room and don’t want to disturb my friends, but they’ll have Nuun on the race course which should help every half hour or so. I’ll let everyone know how it goes! Hoping to find the 2 hr 15 minute pacer and stay close to them! 🤞🏻

2/3 - DNW. Very long travel day so didn't post either!

2/4 - 126.4. Yeesh! Well, just goes to show you that you can't walk or run off bad food choices LOL. No regrets, though. San Francisco had amazing food! Here in the boonies of VA the restaurant quality is not high, so it's nice to visit a more food-centric place every now and then. Thank you all so much for the congratulations on the race! I'm so glad I made it through and had the support of this group throughout training and completing it! I had to pack up my work computer today to send it back so I'm adjusting to the transition back to my own laptop. Ironically, earlier last week I had ordered a standing desk to use at home for work. Whomp whomp. I think I'll still assemble it and use it even though I don't have a job.

I'm still trying to regroup after completion of the half, loss of the job, and my travel. My goals are so unclear now! It's a good opportunity to clear the deck. I will set one goal for this round - get back to my start weight of 124.0. I just got a "Personalized plan" that's a mix of strength and cardio from Peloton I'm going to try following for a little bit until I figure out what's next.

2/5 - 125.4. Okay, there goes some water/lactic acid buildup (thanks for the reminder @Chapter_3!). Did a nice, simple Peloton strength workout yesterday and went walking with a friend. Today I'm going to walk the dogs and maybe go for a short easy run to flush things out. Also wanting to clean a bunch and have to remove things from our main bathroom. We have a bathroom remodel coming up and demolition starts tomorrow! DH and I went to hardware stores yesterday and picked out our fixtures, flooring, and paint color. Right now our bathroom is directly from 1985 (like me!) with wallpaper and all, so I'm excited to have it updated!

It's been a struggle to find whole foods and not junk to fill so much of a gap (I'm between 50-60g shy on carbs everyday this week with breakfast. lunch, and dinner logged, today included. Other than snacks for carbs (with a small wiggle room for protein), I'm set for today. Gym was good and all other habits have been good! I've decided that after I finish with Coach, I'm going to drop to maintenance for a couple weeks and then start a small cut.

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.
2/02 - DNP
2/03 - 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!
2/04 - This is better. Not perfect but I knew it would take a couple days of diligently following my macros, water, and movement to drop it back down. Gym this morning again and meals planned for the day. Once again, I'm short by quite a bit on carbs and a little on fat. I'm within my buffer for protein so I have very limited wiggle room there to help me get the other 2 macros up. I figured out my binge problem as I faced something similar yesterday - I'm bored and lonely! I realized that if I kept myself thoroughly engaged in something, I wasn't particularly hungry. But when I wasn't fully distracted by tasks, I found myself constantly seeking carbs or sugar. What really made me notice was the fact that 10 minutes after eating a very filling and balanced meal, I was searching my pantry and fridge for something carby and had a moment of "I just ate and was quite satisfied, there's no way I'm hungry 10 minutes later, this is something else" and I forced myself to go sit on the couch and read. Once I was into the book, I was fine. Well, then. The goal, now, is to stay distracted in the evenings once work is over.

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%

1/31 227.8 ~
2/1 227.2~ 🍎⬇️🚫 I would like to know how to channel the energy of a 4.9 year old (he turns 5 in two weeks). I made the mistake of telling him that we would be going to lunch at McDonalds and then going to see Mufasa on today, yesterday. I've forgotten life with a youngin....he was up at 3:30am asking if it was morning!!!
2/2 226.4 ~ 🍎⬇️🚫 Today's goal. WATER!!!
2/3 DNW ~ 📖📔 I'm sure it's up and I'll face it tomorrow. Didn't get the water in and the day ended with unplanned pizza. Back on schedule today with 2.83 mile walk (Feb Apple challenge), and Water!!
2/4 228.2 ~ 🚶🏽✅💧📖📔Walk completed, water at 51ounces but could be better.
2/5 228.8 ~ 💧📖📔I've got to reign this in and get in control. I did well with water yesterday but made this dish with andouille sausage (sodium), peppers, onions and potatoes (sodium & carbs). And proceeded to consume too much. Today is chicken and broccoli! It's going to be a great day when everything just "clicks"

Round 282 88.8 kg
Round 283 88.4
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

Yea, this is INSANITY. I’m going to try reading tonight—a tip from @CamandJarvis . I also have another food idea of my own that I may try to implement tonight. If it helps I will let you all know. Stay tuned!

02/05-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- I woke up late and hit the floor running with the contractors at my door trying to get in and work. No thought to weigh, only to get dressed and get the coffee going. I’m feeling bloated and pudgy. I’m sure there has been no improvement on the scale.

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! 🙂

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.

2/5 - Arrrgh, up over a pound and back in the 150s. I know it's because I'm weighing at night today but it still stings. Hopefully the 140s will firmly stick by months end.

Daily goals for the round complete.

I didn't feel like doing this but I got it done.

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 kg) Crazy busy Monday at work. Turkey tacos for dinner tonight. Staying in calories.
2/4- 148.7 (67.4 kg) Bitter wind and snowy tonight. I had my monthly coffee with friends and did a paint n sip afterwards. I need to stick with the chocolate chip cookie at Starbucks. I did the brownie tonight and it wasn't worth the calorie difference.
2/5- 148.5 (67.4 kg) Today was not a great work day. I felt tired, discouraged and defeated by lots of little things out of my control (and tempted to eat my feelings). I got off work very late, spouse is traveling again, and I was trying to think of something for dinner that sounded appealing. As I was about to head out the door, one of the kitchen workers that happened to be in the hall asked me if I wanted dinner and ran into the kitchen and grabbed me a piping hot container of lasagna. I think they're technically supposed to charge but he said not to worry about it because they had extras from dinner service. That random act of kindness lifted my entire day. It can be so easy to dwell on the negatives, but small acts of good can have a big impact.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 286(my 216th). 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 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 is to get back to 141. 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! 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
• 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.

1/31 143.2 (trend 142.7) 9.44 miles walked. My 3 DSs have all started doing Slimming World, I’m going to follow their plan for a couple of weeks to see it that can kick start me into the right path again – anything to help!
2/1 142.4 (trend 142.6) – 10.3 miles walked. Looking back over January I realise I’ve wasted the month: just a loss of 0.8 pound!

2/2 142.4 (trend 142.6) 8.31 miles walked.
2/3 141 (trend 142.4) 8.1 miles walk. A nice whoosh there!
2/4 141.8 (trend 142.3) 10.86 miles walked. And the number is up again!!
2/5 141.8 (trend 142.3) 9.21 miles walked.
2/6 142.4 (trend 142.3) No structured walking, travelled up to childmind little DGD, wandered around a petting farm.

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

Round 285 End Weight 174.2

02/03 174.2
02/04 173.2
02/05 172.4
02/06 173.0 I ate both breakfast and lunch out. Neither were big meals but they were off schedule. I did compensate by having a very light dinner but I had to fight through some hungry feelings before bed time. It was just not a satisfying eating experience for the day.
Number fluctuation on the scale looks normal, my weight always bounces around but I’m trending ever so slightly down.
Snowy morning, perfect day to roast a chicken and veggies. I will try not to sodium bomb myself!
Hoping they don’t cancel classes at the gym. I love my Thursday 45min core class followed by an hour of barre.
I find barre class to be brutal, all of those tiny little movements. But I love anything where I get to laser focus on form. It’s a good balance to other workouts.

Agree about barre- it's brutal, but the good kind- I always dread going and feel better when I"ve done it!

@reshii_devi I am grieving a bit this month too. The pretty weather this week has led me to the park to do my walking, but it's also the park that borders a lake that my dad loved to go to. On these nice days, I'd bundle him up and take him and his red hot rod walker to use the paved walking path by the lake. He'd go a bit, then stop on one of the many benches to rest. When I walked there this week without him, it hit hard. I miss him, but I also grieve how hard those last months were for him. Part of me feels like I didn't do enough, even though I did everything I could as it got harder and harder. I know it's just part of the process--the grieving and the guilt. But I can totally relate to you "riding the waves." Also went to order the new travel trailer to replace the one he and I had together that was lost in the WNC floods. I didn't expect that to make me mourn and cry, but it sure did. There's an almost overwhelming sense of sadness somedays. Like you, I'm working hard to stay positive and keep my body moving and my mind busy. I am trying to be thankful for the memories and focus on the good ones, not the hard ones. Hugs to you. Grief is tough.
