    Round 287
    Feb 10 - 19, 2025

    62 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).

    SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
    SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
    SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
    GW Maintaining between 124 - 126

    Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.

    History:
    Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a two grandsons. We have two parents, 87(mother), 85(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse (father has since passed and I am DPOA, Personal representative AKA executor, trustee, and oversee the majority of my mother’s care). A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

    SW: 138.2

    Day/Weight/Comment

    2/10- 137.8 Yesterday, when I pre-track/pre-plan I make very different food choices. Yesterday, I actually ate one of those apples I purchased roughly 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately, I did get off track last night, and instead of eating my 150 super bowl popcorn, I ate 3 ounces of leftover cocktail party cheese…. This morning, I also managed to observe something that hopefully will motivate me. In my spoiler are my starting weights of every JGMTD rounds, two years ago on 2/10/23, I weighed 142.4, but in May that same year, I was between 125 and 128. If I can accomplish that, I will be thrilled. NOW, to start using my gym membership I purchased one month ago.

    2/11- 138.2 so the good and the bad from yesterday. I did my 3 laps ( 5 miles), but did not pre-track and ate very stupidly. The only dietary good news was that when I ironically became hungry at 10 PM, I did not eat. That hunger made me hope there would be no consequences for my earlier choices.

    Going out to dinner tonight. I know the restaurant, and can view the menu. I need to pre-track this day.

    2/12- 137.8 so yesterday went pretty well. I did plan and track, then the restaurant became a little complicated. We were being taken out as a “thank you” by condo neighbors and it was the first time they initiated socially. All but me, wanted us to have appetizers for the table. I did feel I should be polite, so I had one of each. I then cleverly, adjusted down my planned “entrée” to just a tuna tataki appetizer. It came covered in heaps of an Asian sauce. I did also do three laps in the morning. Still not braved the gym.

    2/13- 137.4 did my 5 miles. Tracked the full day and was below/met target calories. Posting a little later today. In the process I can report that the dress I ordered for valentines day event tomorrow night DOES NOT FIT. Same dress, same size, different color. Then I went shopping at one of our very few stores in Marathon. Well I faced the dressing room mirror. If that, and the dress not fitting does not motivate me, I am concerned. On the good side, I did find something the wear. :)

    2/14- 136.6 Tracking was perfect yesterday. No walking as I had to meet with an online notary at 9 (still estate work) and had 22 pages to review that I received late. I don’t know which is going to impact me more, the dress that “normally” should fit, and did not, or trying on a “shaper” in the dressing room. At my lower weight, a shaper will just soften the ugly scar bumps from c-section and abdominal surgeries. Yesterday, it had more to deal with that it could not overcome. Ironic as my current weight is one that I would have killed to be at at other times in my life. Yes, I am whining.

    2/15- 136.2 I actually had FUN last night. I have not danced since before COVID. Had a good day all around. Walked 5 miles. Was thoughtful regarding my diet (ate half the Filet and half the dessert). Found a comfortable cute outfit, and all evening. I think I really needed it. What a mood changer!

    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)!!!!

    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

    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.

    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 building mine! (57 rounds in!)
    Good luck to everyone this round! #FINSH

    2/11. DNW Testing….Testing… Testing.
    Near perfect day yesterday. Opting to 🏋️‍♀️today with DGS. Finished 10k🚶‍♀️💓by walking 2 mi right before dinner - purposely getting it done!

    2/12 There goes that scale again, but it’s not owning my emotions this morning so I’m in a solid mental place. ✅ nutrition, kcal deficit, macros, movement. All systems go. Enjoyed a competitive tennis match yesterday. We didn’t pull out the W but we played some great tennis & had a blast. Even though I THINK I hydrate well on Tennis days, I still tend to drink not quite enough & dehydrate. It’s actually rarely quite enough on days similar to yesterday so I have to focus on hydration. Again, I didn’t quite 🚶‍♀️10k steps by 5PM so jumped out for a quick 30 minute walk to reach goal … 11k… DGS, DH and I enjoyed a group /family 🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️to top off the evening. Perfect day. Wide awake @ 3AM (yuck). But will make lemonade. Onward!!

    2/13 🚫🏆 because ate a snack around 8:30PM which I never do… Cottage cheese / berries so 🚫IF. Kcals = 1350. Still, Pg = 130 🙌🏻 Another purposeful 🚶‍♀️@5PM to reach +10k. Good hydration. Solid day!Also, I’ve expanded my stretching/mobility/balancing routine… Love it! Today’s nutrition window will be 11am - 2:30PM. (OMAD). Today: 🏋️‍♀️and sauna. Onward!

    I’m going to test myself again - three days / stay on plan 💯 & 🚫⚖️. Great workout yesterday… Almost two hrs lifting & stretching while streaming tennis - it was heaven. Three walks to total 10K+. Look what I woke up too?! I still can’t stop laughing! This is what I call true love & Support!!!!
    Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Feeling ALL the feels right now!
    *********************

    Hubby and I had a wonderful Valentine’s Day celebration - went off nutrition a tad. That little bitty dark chocolate chip put me over 🤣🤣🤣… No guilt. (it was actually two servings of “cauliflower mash” that put me over!) Back today!

    205.8 Ending weight RND 286

    60+ Female using trend weight

    I lost 0.6 lbs avg last round. I exceeded my goal of 3 times going to the gym per week. Unfortunately I just had surgery and am on an exercise ban for weights 2 weeks. I can get back on the treadmill slowly on the 17th. Sigh! I was doing well with my consistency. The thing that keeps me yo-yoing is I get going and then life seems to throw me a curveball and it takes me time to regroup and start again versus immediately.

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

    OGW: 199 (just to say I did)
    Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205


    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.

    Finally, back home where I can develop some sort of rhythm in my physical, mental and spiritual life. It’s hard for me when I am away from home.

    The preceding message was brought to you by “Jeff’s Excuse Factory.” The real truth is that if I had developed a rhythm before leaving home, I could have maintained it through the oddball circumstances. I want to shut down the excuse factory now. It starts by recording that ridiculous number above for all to see. I am embarrassed.

    This little bump down from yesterday is an indication that the damage is real, and the struggle will not be easy. I was expecting one of my patented water weight whooshes for an easy win. Nope. I can’t expect results after one day of discipline in the past seven weeks.

    I am in the right place. My two inspirations right now are this group and tight-fitting clothes. Oh, and the mirror.

    Yesterday I was a good boy, but here is the reality. At least twice I found myself standing in front of an open refrigerator without even knowing how I got there. Similar experience with the pantry door. It’s a habit that my body does on autopilot. I will break it.

    I will get out and be more active today. I spent most of yesterday sorting mail and paying bills for my parents.

    2/12: 231.2
    I did not get out and walk yesterday because what is worse than cold wind on your face while you battle a head cold? I have been sneezing and coughing for two days. I did unroll the yoga mat and did some floor exercises,

    Snow coming today, so a little snow clearing for myself and a couple neighbors will add some activity to my day. I will try to remember to lift with my legs.:) Cold wind on the face is inevitable today, cough or no cough.

    Speaking of legs, DW and I have just now started to feel normal after the cruise. For a few days we could feel “the boat” moving, even though we were standing on dry land 1000 miles from the sea. I can remember that feeling after fishing trips too. Strange,

    BTW, no wonder I am under the weather after being packed into Noah’s ark with several thousand others.

    The easy ounces are sluffing off now. The real work will start soon.

    Nice to touch the 220’s again. Don’t know where I will be tomorrow after a special valentine’s dinner tonight. By special dinner I mean I am going to either make it or we are going out. 😊 When it comes to food prep my contribution is either breakfast or outdoor grilling or smoking. Rain/snow in the forecast for this evening, so we are having breakfast. HA! Another option might be chili. For some reason chili demolishes my progress. Is it salt? Calories? Nope, it’s portion control. I love chili.

    Aaaaand there is the V-day-indulgence tattle tale. Not really too bad. We went out for a noon meal at “Jason’s Deli.” I am not sure how many of them there are, but it is a chain. They have a really good salad bar. All undone by the frozen pizza for supper. Lots of salt in the diet yesterday, even in the salad bar.

    DW and I participated in a class at the gym yesterday that kind of kicked out butts. Sore muscles this morning, which feels really good actually.

    @CamandJarvis thanks for sharing your plan! I am planning to go into bulk cycle once I finally get my body fat down to a good starting point. It’s inspiring to see you successfully doing it! Keep up the good work!

    Hi again, I'm Amanda! 5'2" 40F in Virginia.

    RSW: 126.2
    RGW: 124.0

    Non-scale goals (tracked for prior day)
    🏃🏻‍♀️ Run at least 20 miles
    🏋🏻‍♀️ Strength train 5/10 days

    2/10 - 126.4 🏋🏻‍♀️ Today is my 40th birthday! Great day to regroup after falling off at the end of last round (and gaining 2 pounds). We went out Friday night and I drank SIGNIFICANTLY too much alcohol. I suffered all weekend for it. So today is a perfect day to wipe the slate clean. Since the kids are in school/daycare today, I'm planning on doing 40 for 40:
    - Bike 10 miles to the climbing gym
    - Climb 10 routes
    - Bike 10 miles home
    - Run 5 miles
    - Mountain bike 5 miles this afternoon with a friend

    Dinner isn't going to be too crazy tonight but there will be cake

    2/11 - 124.6 🏃🏻‍♀️ (6 miles). Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes!!! It was a great day. My 40 for 40 didn't quite work out once I found out the climbing gym didn't open until 3. Had to be home for the school bus by 4:25. I walked the dogs 2 miles, ran 6 miles, did a Peloton ride for 7 miles, then did a 15-mile road bike ride, totaling 30 miles, then a 10-minute stretch right before the bus came LOL. Ah well, it was a last-minute plan anyway. Today is a snow day for everyone so I'm unlikely to get more than a moment to myself. Happy Tuesday everyone!

    2/12 - 123.6 🏋🏻‍♀️ Happy with today’s weight! Feel like I’m getting closer to where I was before the SF trip/birthday shenanigans. I have a head cold that gave me a bit of a fever overnight and is making breathing really challenging. The kids are home again from school since the town is now coated in ice. Today is a recovery day for me from working out and also this nuisance cold.

    2/13 - 124.4. Deserved gain. I didn't go too crazy yesterday but I also didn't track. Today I need to work harder to stay on track and write down what I put in my mouth. Leftover cake isn't helping any! DH is helping make fairly short work of it but there was a lot left. The kids have another snow day, mostly due to power outages all over town. Thanking our lucky stars that we have power this morning as many of my friends don't. Hoping the warmer temperatures melt most of the ice before the wind picks up this afternoon. February is a popular ice time! My youngest was born during a similar ice storm on February 18, 2021. I got on the treadmill this morning before DH went to work and will be momming for most of the rest of the day. We haven't left the house since Monday so I think we'll go on an exciting outing to the grocery store after I do some meal planning. Stay warm everyone!

    2/14 - 124.2 🏃🏻‍♀️ (3.3 miles). Happy Valentine's Day everyone! DH and I don't really celebrate, but I celebrated all week by helping my kindergartener make cards for his class, which he won't get to distribute until Tuesday, because they have ANOTHER snow day today. Almost everything is melted after a 50-degree afternoon yesterday, but there are still power outages everywhere, including at some of the schools. Thankfully power was restored to my youngest's daycare center yesterday so he got to go today. It's much easier to only have an almost-six-year-old around. He has a friend over now so I'm going to go hide in the basement and do some strength training and running while I have a chance (and while they destroy every bedroom and the living room LOL).

    2/15 - 124.0 🏃🏻‍♀️(2.2 miles) 🏋🏻‍♀️ DH did end up bringing chocolates for Valentine’s Day and I indulged in some of it. I don’t think I went too far over calories plus exercise calories though. I made a Greek salmon sheet pan dinner that was delicious. Today I’m planning to do a longer treadmill run (thanks rain) and strength train glutes/legs/core. Have a great Saturday everyone!

    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…

    Ten Days Round 287

    I've made it through a full round. Yay Me! Round 286 ended at 149.2lbs, down 3.0lbs for the round. I'm hoping this downward trend continues.

    My goals are the same until the habit sticks.
    Daily I will weigh myself; record everything I eat & drink; and post to stay mindful of good habits.

    It will be hard to keep up over the coming ten days. Some days I'll have no scale but I can still record and post. Eating out always creates guess work.

    "No mercy and no excuses!"
    A woman with long term weight loss success posted this to a message board I once visited daily. Words to live by!

    - I'll use what ever scale is available.
    - I'll do my best to record accurately.
    - I'll post even if I can't weigh, and/ or heaven forbid I fail to record everything.

    Wishing SUCCESS to us all! 🙂

    Starting Weight Round 287: 149.2lbs

    2/10 - 150.0lbs ⤴️ 0.8lbs[/b]
    2/11- 152.0lbs ⬆️ 2.0lbs
    2/12 - 152.0lbs ➖ no scale, last weight carried forward
    2/13 - 158.0lbs ⬆️ 6.0lbs
    2/14 - 158.0lbs ➖ no scale, last weight carried forward
    2/15
    2/16
    2/17
    2/18
    2/19


    2/10 - Up 0.8lbs, well within my three pounds fluctuation zone. What irks me is leaving the 140s in the wrong direction. Humph 😤

    2/11 - Ugh, up another 2.0.lbs. My fluctuation zone is under threat because I'm retaining water. Too many carbs and not enough protein.

    2/12 - I've been analog for a few days.
    Logging in was not possible but I managed my tasks the old fashioned way.

    Weigh: Last weigh in carried forward. No scale available. ✓

    Record: No online access. Written manually and input when possible. ✓

    Post: No online access. Written manually and input when possible. ✓

    2/13 - Day 2 analog but I managed once again. This is where I usually lose track and disappear. I'm using a simple solution to stay on task.

    Weigh: I much prefer the last weigh in carried forward. This 6lb increase was measured on the doctor's scale in full Winter dress down to over the knee boots with block heels. Weight of 158lbs I rebuke you! ✓

    Record: No online access. Written manually and input when possible. ✓

    Post: No online access. Written manually and input when possible. ✓

    2/14 - I may have found a system to stay up to date when I can't access my apps at will. This occurs too often to treat as something irregular. It's about time I make these periods normal.
    * Weigh: No scale available. I REBUKE this number but it serves as a place holder. ✓
    * Record: Still semi analog but I'm updating online as often as possible. Immediate recording preferred. Pre recording is best. Pen and paper or a note taking app still gets it done. ✓
    * Post: Done ✓

    02/14-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- No-weigh Friday. I’m planning an excellent day. Yesterday was a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. Today I’ll plan a 10 and be happy if I fail and only get a 9.  I still didn’t get a chance to take my Lasix medication yesterday due to so much jetting about town on errands. I hope to take it today but it probably won’t be until after 1:00 due to some morning errands. I do a lot of running/Ace Hardware for the contractors. I’m supposed to take it daily but it’s difficult when you have to leave the house. Ankles and tummy are definitely swollen and fluffy. Praying for strength today in my eating plan! Proud I managed 13 minutes on the exercise bike yesterday. Feels like starting over with my exercise abilities and I guess it is. I haven’t been serious about it since Thanksgiving. Time to get up off my *kitten* and get busy! After being plummeted with snow the last couple of days, our town is hunkering down for another snowstorm expected all day Saturday and all day Sunday. I am getting a little calorie burn on lately helping my son shovel. We have a major sidewalk system outside although a plow comes and does the long driveway. Winter has been exhausting but beautiful.

    02/15-193.8-(Trend Weight: 194.6)- This is a nice drop on the scale probably brought about by good TMI and Lasix results which I couldn’t take until about 5:30 pm (so I was up & down all night!) My diet was less than stellar yesterday. Too much dinner, too many snacks. I’ll tackle all the challenges again today as I hunker down in this snowstorm. 7 more inches expected by tomorrow evening. I’ll help shovel again today but WILL NOT use that as an excuse for not getting back on that exercise bike. I can do it!!!! May birthday goal: T-minus 1.9 lbs gone with 8.1 lbs to go.

    Expecting a hard round, from experience these last 3 lbs are hard to shift!
    2/11 184.6lb⬇️ Steps11,160 ✅️ Calories✅️
    4 days of the same weight but a nice drop today! -.6lb. Just 2.6lb left to my maintenance goal but if it comes off reasonably easy i might drop my maintenance weight 2 or 3lb. Love to make it to the 170's, not been there since i was in my 20s!!

    No idea where that came from!

    Demotivated after a .6lb gain .... So i decided to have a day off! 200 calories over maintenance, 7,000 steps under target. And there is the price! 2lb
    It will now take me 3 days to get rid of it!🤣
    2/14 186.8lb⬇️Steps12,530✅️ Calories✅️
    No more pity party! Straight back on it.
    For anyone wondering how i gained 2lb with 200 calories the answer is carbs! I eat a low carb diet and had loads that day! So it's just water!
    2/15 185.8lb⬇️.Steps14,506✅️ Calories✅️
    Isn't it strange how water weight goes on instantly then takes 4 days to come off! Anyone got any tips for losing carb water faster?

    Carb water all gone. That leaves 3 weigh ins for more loss to turn up!
