Round 294
April 21 - 30, 2025

Please join us starting on 4/21 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 294!

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.

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

    Hi, I'm Charissa.

    Thank you, @quiltingjaine for continuing these supportive rounds!

    April = March Do Over!! It WAS working…. Ready Round 294

    Meal & Water Plan ✅
    Alcohol 🚫
    Exercise ✅
    Personal Time ✅

    January: good until I got sick. (I rarely get sick ~ thanks grandkids! )
    February: it seemed my body was trying to overcompensate for being sick....it was odd.
    March R1: I did fairly well last round, Down 2.2 vs the 3.3 that I wanted but I will take as a win. Continuing my focus for the month, micromanaging! My March BHAG ~Big Hair Audacious Goal is to lose 10lbs. 10lbs in March translates to about 3.9 pounds for the next 2 rounds. March R2 ~ screech and halt. I stopped micromanaging and was just mentally blah. Back on it for the remainder of the month. Surely won't do 10 but I can stay below my ending February number!

    How Will I do this:

    Micromanager ~ proactive and timely review of my actions.

    Aiming for 10k steps per day. Aim to burn 2,900+ calories (per Apple watch which translates into closing my move goal)

    TDEE experiment ~ I will elaborate on this after a couple of weeks.

    Modified Goals (see below)

    Overall Goals for 2025
    Lose weight in the kitchen ⚖️, get fit in the gym🏋🏾‍♀️
    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
    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 - 1650. **Eat well 🥗to Live Well ?✈️🚢💼
    Goal#2 - Wine/Alcohol Reduction - 85% Dry March or better ** 🚫🍷Alcohol kills weight loss as the focus is burning alcohol calories and not fat calories!
    Goal #3 - Water - Min 50 ounces - Max 100 (only if consumed before 6pm) H2O - Make it Flow 💦💦💦
    Goal #4 - Exercise - 6 days/week (Cardio, Core, Stretching, ST) ~ 🚶🏾‍♀️‍➡️🏋🏾‍♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
    Goal #5 - Self Care (Reading, Journaling, Monthly recap, Learning, Pampering)
    Goal #6 - Organization and Declutter (Finish unpacking)

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

    Simple Goal for this round: Have some dignity for crying out loud! I have some events happening in the next six months and I want my clothes to fit better.

    This is my posting format….

    Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed. (Calories-In yesterday)/ Comment

    4/20/25 : 228.2 SW a day before.

    4/21: 230.0 (feast)
    I expected to go up, but this actually surprised me a bit. Maybe it will slap me in the face and wake me up.

    Having said that I need to give myself a bit of grace. We had our traditional comfort Easter foods yesterday with candy mixed in all day. DS brought cheesy potatoes, green been casserole, and home-made baklava. I smoked a spiral cut ham (with maple syrup brushed between each flap with a sprinkled salty dry rub) and we had a few other sides. Sugar cookies for desert.

    I am “out of the woods” for a bit here and can concentrate on making some real progress. I will start logging again. Might take a day or so to “detox.”

    Historical Averages: I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope. As I look back over time I choose to let it inspire me rather than depress me.

    Posting these only once per round behind a spoiler.
