Round 287
February 10 - 19, 2025

Please join us starting on 2/10 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 287.

Thank you, Carolyn (@Chapter_3)! Let’s all STAY ENGAGED!

Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. You have only one hour to edit your post. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share. Make the board your own - track what is important for YOUR JOURNEY.

FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

If you feel your post is too lengthy, you can add spoilers to temporarily hide the information. It is readily available by tapping the SPOILER bar. To create a Spoiler just type or copy [ Spoiler ] xxx [ /Spoiler ] Omit the spaces within the brackets and put your information where I have xxx

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE

    🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 287(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 (yet 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 130s1. 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.

    I am the driver in my life & not the passenger, I need to drive my life to a healthy life.

    2/9 141.8 (trend 142.2) 8.66 miles walked. 2.8 pounds lost this round which sounds good, BUT, last round I gained 3, still not back to end of round 284 weight; so no congrats. due! Just got to keep going. At least I can say that I have had 10 solid days this round, need to do the same again next. I do feel that SW allows me way too many carbs, so I’m going to restrict these next round.

    📣BHAG Restated: My FIRST BHAG was to hit 128xlbs on this #HSF journey and maintain a “+ or -“ 2lb range @128xlbs by 1/30/2025. I did not make it. Maybe I’ll reach it this round! I want a sustainable #HSF BHAG that’s achievable with hard work & determination.

    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

    👇🏻Feb Level Up (Down)
    *************************
    I pledge to prioritize each of these #HSF choices EVERY DAY of February:

    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. On this journey, I have made positive progress with family relationships. Won’t detail here, but it’s a challenge & but improving. Mind, body & spirit are connected. I won’t be fully content until this part of my life is healthy too.
    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 👏🏻🤩 (1/31/25 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… !
    14. I now love to read several times a week on habit formation, healthy aging, nutrition and movement.

    Previous Daily
    ****************
    1/30. I had a good rest day. Slept poorly the night before, so I took it easy. Ready for R286!

    1/31 130.0. Hovering. Lingering at base camp. Ready to ascend 🏔️. Summit bound!

    NOTE: for all of us who are quick to gain (REAL WEIGHT) and slow to lose…. It’s took me eight weeks to lose 2 lbs !!!! 🐌EIGHT FREAKING WEEKS for TWO POUNDS! Thats a really good (bad) thing to remember. I think it’ll be one of my morning mantras… “Now remember Carolyn it takes 8 wks to lose 2 lbs! Stay focused!

    2/1 I’ve decided to skip ⚖️ on days that I have slept well. Sleepless nights rarely lead to a positive day for me - it’s just not worth it to start this day with an added “negative” / needless let down. My body feeling tight & full of inexplicable cortisol - something happening at a level that I’m not tapped into….? It could be as simple as not “moving” yesterday & storing excess energy? Guessing.

    Ate at maintenance yesterday. Missed 🥩goal. Made the mistake of heading to an estate sale early and spent most of the day there - so I did not reach 🚶‍♀️💓… or truly move at all! Oh, but I had such an enjoyable day.

    I have 🏋️‍♀️🚶‍♀️💓🎾scheduled today. We will have gorgeous weather all weekend. The weather will help me jumpstart a positive weekend. Lacking energy, but I’ll move forward as if I do!

    2/1 ⚖️129-132?!? Up and down. And yesterday was an awesome day! I talked to hubby about the scale fluctuations … He fluctuates between [162 - 167] day in / day out… I guess it just is what it is. (I was under protein yesterday and ate at maintenance… ) need to get back to 115-120g protein… I’ve been off consistently there.

    Whenever I consistently eat at “maintenance”, I tend to put on a little…Maintenance for me is 1400 cal and I’m active so I just don’t get it… I cannot eat any less and I refuse to do so. (unless I’m trying to take-off those last few pounds… Seems to me I could take a day or two off (AT MAINTENANCE) and get right back on, but it doesn’t seem to work that way!) And I slept like a rock last night… as I look back and review, it appears my sleepless nights are 💯associated with lack of 🏋️‍♀️🚶‍♀️💓during the day… So the more I move the better I sleep, which is pretty obvious, right?

    Today I’ll return to eating at a (-300) caloric deficit and making sure my macros are 100%!

    2/3 +++ Positive day but scale no budge. ✅all “habits”. Did I NOT lose THE 2lbs after all? Definitely a mini tug-o-war. We did eat later than usual, but I’m now beginning to feel a self-imposed “under a microscope” burden and I wish to let that go for a little bit. Analyzing every little nuance to figure out a POUND! Sheesh!

    Saying no to the “microscope” and adopting a “macro-scope”! Yes! A macroscope! I will continue to follow my “habits.”

    “Just for today”- I will focus on the BIG picture - loving me! Perhaps I shall skip ⚖️ for the next three days… #HSF is a balancing act. Hard stuff.
    Today: 🎾 🏋️‍♀️🚶‍♀️💓!
    2/4 Analysis rest!🤗
    2/5 Same (this is weird!)
    2/6 I’m on my way to a massage and facial! Oh yes!

    2/7 I realize that I am a unique person - fearfully and wonderfully made. The scale is not my friend when I am 💯committed and doesn’t budge. But it is my friend when I do not follow plan and it gives me the honest feedback that I need to see / experience in order to change course. Simply, I’m damned if I do and damned if I don’t… 🧐

    I’ve decided to use the scale randomly. It simply does not help me (personally) to weigh every.single.day. I already track every morsel. I track every movement & habit. Somehow the scale always manages to take center-stage. No more. It’s being put in its place as an understudy!

    These last few days I have not been in any way “less engaged”… And, I’ve been so much more at ease and comfortable. It’s wild.

    It’s one thing to “DNW” if Im feeling guilty … it’s very much another when I choose to “DNW” to stay the course.

    The key is to keep pushing, no matter what - with or without the scale.

    I will stay consistent, trust the process, and I’ll continue to move forward.
    🤗🤓

    BTW: The massage I received yesterday was incredible. Major that tension & knots in my body that are no longer… I think I’ll do it again in another couple of weeks. The facial was sublime! I think it’s only my second facial in about 15 years… My morning of self pampering was delightful! Feeling light today! I plan on getting extra steps all weekend… It will feel good to get out and walk again.

    I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! 💪🏻

    2/8 ⚖️I weighed this morning because I thought it was the last day of JGMTD … So I guess I’ll weigh again tomorrow too. ⚖️ Surprised. No analysis. (Although I do have an armchair theory!) Hit all nutrition measures. ✅

    Supposed to play tennis this morning, but I think the courts will be too wet… 🚶‍♀️and then to DGS Tucker‘s soccer game… my goal is to stay on nutrition plan, live in present moment (w/ heart filled with gratitude : NSV: This is intentional mind shifting). Stretching: will emphasize mobility/flexibility &🏋️‍♀️today.

    2/9 I give myself a “B” this round as I was fully engaged, but “executed” inconsistentIy. I would’ve given myself an A+ if I would’ve hit 🚶‍♀️10k & 🏋️‍♀️ a few more days… For instance, yesterday 🚶‍♀️7.5k and there was ample time to finish … I also 🏋️‍♀️for 10 minutes - not 25min. … I chose to play tennis a little longer and to do a sauna & other stuff since it was the “weekend” . But I still could’ve FINISHED… had every opportunity to ✅ those off. I’m not beating up on myself. I simply dont want to make excuses because I truly desire to 🚶‍♀️10k a day, 🏋️‍♀️ 25 min every other day… and if that’s the case I need to do it & I need to FINISH!!!! I did focus more on flexibility & mobility when stretching… am making strides there.

    Still, I focused and learned a lot about myself. I chose to stay away from the scale three days while simultaneously staying on plan. Choosing to not 🔍analyze & it freed me tremendously. Analyzing several ounce of fluctuations, every nuance of my bodily systems, when I’m deligently tracking everything is kinda sick. It really is…. It’s overboard. That’s why I’m here. So for now, the scale is no longer the star of my story.

    I realize I’m in a different stage of my journey than most on JGMTD…. Each of us must find a way to be true to ourselves to continue to strive toward wellness.

    Im more firmly at “base camp” with another NSV to ascend the 🏔️.

    🥁🥁🥁I just realized that “NSV” took on a new meaning for me … a TRUE “non-scale” victory!!!!

    2/10 129.8 My personal goal is to FINISH my daily plan. Last round, I slacked (not nutrition🏆) but in completing my daily movement. This round, for 10 days, I WILL: 🚶‍♀️10k 💓60 min🏋️‍♀️25min (5x)! (And of course, nutrition)!
    While I do stretch every day, I am also implementing mobility, flexibility, balance… I’ve also implemented a daily (morning) six minute lymphatic massage as part of my daily “stretching” routine. It’s easy to do and has become another daily habit!

    Personally, I find that when I start the day with “self-care movement” and prayer, maintaining nutrition follows! Habits are “blocks” - can tell I’m slowly building mine! (Only 57 rounds in!)
    Good luck to everyone this round! #FINSH

    Day, Weight, Comment
    2/10 - 170.3 - I've finally broke into the 170s. I thought I'd never see this weight. I'm feeling rather bloated - I had forgotten to log a couple things and then remembered this morning which put me well over on protein yesterday but carbs and fats were aligned. Saturday was "date night" with BF but it was more of a 'linner' than lunch or dinner which is likely the biggest culprit for the scale weight being so high. I'm back on track today with meals and snacks planned to put me right on track with macros today. I'll pre-plan tomorrow's later this afternoon or evening so I know what I'm eating for the day when I wake up and make things easier on myself in that regards. Busy full week of work and gym every morning. It's overcast and rainy - supposed to storm tomorrow. Hoping to squeeze in walks with the dogs outside every day if if schedules work out for me.
