JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 61

@quiltingjaine -- Looking for the positive side....She may be impressed with what you have done and, like others said, trying to figure it out for herself. The menu reading may be self-talk (as opposed to directed at you) where she is trying to figure out whether she could do it and what she would be able to eat/have to give up. That being said, I like the suggestion of gently telling that her that although you "know" she is just trying help...it is annoying!

This is my eigth round. I am thinking this is the perfect way to move through December, with mini-goals, support and comraderie. I would love to be at 155 by Christmas but will be happy just being solidly in the 150s! Let's make this a month of mindful celebrations taking time to appreciate our loved ones, our health, and our progress on this journey!

12/04 -- 160 -- A bump up...but a small one. I ate well and exercised well and posted a big loss last round, so I am not going to let this bother me. NSV -- Yesterday friends invited me to hike with them. I really enjoy walking in the woods, and the company....but in order to make sure I got my exercise in I snuck out for a fast 4 mile walk through the neighborhood before meeting them at 9. So glad that that was my inclination, rather than just writing it off for the day!

Trend wt: 155.3
Big caloric deficit 4 of last 5 days! Very pleased. I am successfully curbing my calories in little bits here & there, but they add up! Sleeping more.

I got my motivation back❣️
1) I realized I exercise a ton. Three times what is “needed to be healthy.”
2) I can feel I’m adding muscle, so scale will stay steady but then drop. AND my goal is Health. Muscles = Health❣️
3) I looked over all my monthly average data & saw I need to trim back calories eaten some. Did it!

12/4 155 BMI: 23.2! 👍🎉🌈🌟❣️

@jaccimc63 I am the same, after so long of training myself to stick to 1200 I forget or get scared to go over if It is necessary. If I have a moderate work out day (300 or lower cal burn) then I make sure to stick to 1200 but if I pull an amazing day (closer to 700 cal burn) I need to remember to up it too closer to 1500. If I don't I won't loose...or have energy lol

@kimmie373 You're down 0.7 and that seems good.

@FarmerCarla, @kmfeig87, @jenn990205 and @tiabirdie56, First, thank you all for your input. I'm a non-confrontational person so I know I will not say anything to her - but perhaps I should. Her husband and mine workout at the gym at the same time so Carl talks to him and and then things get passed on to her. I know Carl is impressed with my loss and that is why he has started eating more keto. He quit buying cases of soda and only gets one if we go out to eat. Anyway, the husbands think it is unhealthy to not be eating a lot of fruit but when I told Carl there are NO ESSENTIAL carbohydrates, I quit hearing about that! I DO believe she may be jealous but not at the point where she wants to or has the support to change her eating. (Her husband is tall and thin.) She recently shared that she had a tummy tuck when she was 30+ years younger. I was surprised. She orders multiple appetizers and entrees when we cruise. And Jenn, she appears very confident but perhaps it is a show and she is insecure. Tish, the "fluffy" comment nearly makes me LOL too! She is among the many in our neigborhood who routinely have to have their A1C checked although she is not, as far as I know, taking any diabetes meds. And it has never been suggested that I need to have that done. I'm happy with my life and my body! Thank you everyone!! I love you all!!
