1) planning better when I'm having "cheat" days (parties, eating out with family and friends, et cetera)
One thing that I've found helpful is to change my mindset. Life happens, and even with a weight loss goal we can't (and shouldn't) deprive ourselves of parties, eating out, and family events that trend to revolve around food. I started avoiding the word "cheat" and opting for "treat." Funny how that one little word changes your perceptions and behaviors. You are on the right track in learning how to plan for them. Enjoy yourself!

I did feel like doing a happy dance this morning when I saw the scales as it's the first time in 10 years that I've seen 152.x which is under 70kg!! 😉 On a different subject,I’m painting my living room at home, which isn’t the best of ideas in winter, but it’s keeping me active and stopping me from snacking in the evenings! Today I’m going to the gym at lunch time and painting the 2nd layer on the ceiling this evening. Food is generally on track and I've downloaded an app to remind me to drink more water.

Has anyone got ideas on how to deal with the upcoming holidays and extra food ???
My "Christmas Season" starts in end November already and will run till mid-January (between family, office and friends....
) In one way I want to enjoy myself but then I'll feel discouraged if I put weight on (it'll be hard not to over next month).
I'm hoping to add more exercise to my days to try and compensate... Do you have any other recommendations?

Round 96
As 2019 winds down my goal wt for Jan 1st is 262 which would give me a loss for the year of 15 lbs. I think that will put me in a good spot heading in to 2020. I will be 55 in a couple of weeks and it would be awesome to hit my goal wt this year and finally have a handle on this weight thing. A pound a week in 2020 will put me there. Good luck everyone and have a great round.

SW- 242
42yrs old 5’4”
Goal 121- half of my former self
Ultimate Goal- Maintain 130-135
Goal for this round is to get my average down by any number. I’m working on building lean muscle while blasting fat, so my scale isn’t moving much right now. But one of these days it’s gonna do a dive.
Averages
R94- 150.6
R95- 150.8
11/19- 151.8 I ate at the very top of my calorie limit yesterday and it shows. But I also had a heavy strength day. My focus remains on muscle tone.9 -
Highest weight ever: 212
Lowest weight last fall after MFP: 145
My “Heck no, I’m not going back there” weight on 11/18/19: 165.6. So I’m back!
Goal for R96: less than where I am right now, but more importantly, to begin to re-establish some healthy habits.
Long term goal: I want to get back to under 150 which is in the Normal BMI range for men and then STAY there.
Day/Weight/Comment

11/19 177.2lbs! Holy hell - this has GOT to be from eating out 4 days in a row, even if I am trying to make good choices. I'm sure I've had more sodium in the last week than in the prior month. Also, very little sleep these last days: 4h13m/58. This is not a great start to the new round, but better than ending it like this!

Day, Weight, Comment
11/19 - 154.5 - Well, long story short, I got inspired by BF moving that I decided to purge my own house (the kids and I can help him purge and pack. If I move, I'm on my own). That turned into "I just made this mess, now I have to sort it" which turned into "oh my! its past my bedtime and I haven't eaten dinner or showered!" So I only had one meal yesterday and that was a piece of lasagna. Oops. Today isn't much better since I didn't cook to bring anything so I'm eating the last can of soup I have as backup at work. More purging tonight which is keeping me active and it feels really nice. Plus, trash goes out today so I can finally clear the pile by the door (trash can was full). Hopefully I don't donate too much more stuff or I won't be able to take it all in one trip! One room down (minus the things that I'm selling) and just one more big bin to sort and room 2 is down. All that's left after that is living room, kitchen, and bedroom!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 - 110 kg // I gained weight during round 95 but I built some great habits, like exercise, drinking water, and tracking what I eat. I also stopped adding milk to my coffee because milk just started tasting really sweet. Black coffee with no sugar is also super sweet BTW. Getting used to the taste. I'm trying to cut added sugar. I do use dairy but I'm trying to use it sparingly.

My "Christmas Season" starts in end November already and will run till mid-January (between family, office and friends.... ) In one way I want to enjoy myself but then I'll feel discouraged if I put weight on (it'll be hard not to over next month).
I'm hoping to add more exercise to my days to try and compensate... Do you have any other recommendations?
For the office, I stay away from the kitchen. I also convince myself that someone has sneezed all over the baked goods...that helps me stay away from them 😄6 -
UGW-155
R96- SW: 185..4
Goal for this round is to get back to tracking and get back on track with my eating.
11/19: 185.4. Need to get back on track once and for all. Tried a few times this year but still at the same weight as last January.

It's a tough time of year for sure. Start thinking it out.
1. What's your weightloss goal between now and January? Do you want to keep losing, or hold steady and take some of the pressure off? Are you ok with a gain? How much?
2. What are your weaknesses? Carbs? Sugar? High calorie drinks? Alcohol?
3. Are you cooking? You can lighten up a lot of the standard fare. Even if it's just for a potluck - take a healthy dish or lighten up an old fave.
4. What kind of events? Meals? Buffets/Pot Lucks? Appetizer & sweet laden parties? You'll need a strategy for each one.
5. What's the frequency? Weekly? Everyday at the office? Just a handful?
6. Are you attending these events with someone else who is trying to lose weight or eat healthy? Can you buddy up, or follow their lead in what they're eating and drinking?
How you answer those will help you form a plan of attack.
Some generic ideas ...- Drink up! Plenty of water! It helps keep you feeling full and helps flush your system - especially sodium. Keep a bottle nearby at every event. Festive it up with a sprig of mint and a couple of cranberries.
- Portion control. Study up. Know how to estimate portions for your go to items this season. Moderate, don't deprive
- Fill your plate 1/2 to 2/3 full of healthy, lighter portions.
- Eat something healthy before you go so that you aren't starved on arrival.
- At parties & gatherings, park yourself as far away from the food as possible. Make it an effort to nibble mindlessly.
- Focus on the people and the season rather than the food
- Get your exercise in
- Eat on plan when you aren't celebrating
- Plan ahead. Go with light eating before and after these events.
- Keep healthy choices on hand at home.
- Enjoy yourself and treasure the moments with friends and family
You can do this!

In addition, if I want to enjoy, I just take "testers" of the things I really really want. One little bite here and there adds up, yes, but I find that if I truly sit down and savor that one bite, it was worth it and I don't have to eat a typical serving to get the same satisfaction. I also limit myself to the number of "testers" I get to try. I have to think long and hard about which thing I want which helps me also think about the feelings it gives me (bloat, heaviness, lethargy are some things I experience when I'm not careful with my eating). I'll admit, I fail at this A LOT but I know, even if I fail, I'm aware of it and that's the first step for me.

Back for Round 96
Female / Age 62 / 5'2"
OW: 158.5 (12/30/18)
UG: 135.0 (for now, healthy weight for me)
Intro:Let me introduce myself. I struggled with my weight as a teen, topping out at nearly 200. I dropped it after high school and got to a healthy weight. Every major life changed has brought weight back on - having kids, pre-menopause, menopause, family tragedy, post menopause. I've knocked it back down each time, and have been surprised that each time required a different strategy, and resulted in a different type of lifestyle change to maintain. Each time as been much harder and slower. At this point, it's moving off at a snail's pace.
Motivation. I have a hyatial hernia. It does not bother me as long as I keep the weight at 150 or below. Every female on my mother's side has had arthritic knees, and I'm starting to feel twinges. They have also sustained falls and broken bones. My husband had a major health scare a coupe of years ago. The idea of being put out of commission by a preventable injury or illness scares the bejimminies out of me.
Goals. The goals at this stage are to drop weight to a healthy range, realign my eating style to a lifestyle that will keep me healthy into my golden years, and strengthen the muscles that support my knees, ankles, and shoulders, along with my core, to prevent injury.
Dropping weight post menopausal has been so difficult, I need this to be the last time. 10-15 pounds used to be easy to drop, so that was always my warning bell to focus. Not so much now. Looks like a 3-5 pound fluctuation will be it.
A healthy weight for me is 135-140. I've always looked anorexic at 120. We'll see how things are at 135, and go from there.
Round StatsR95: SW 146.3 GW 146.0 EW 145.3 Results -1.0
Strategy: Up the hydrating foods. Fruit with breakfast. Salad/veggies as bulk of lunch. Healthy dinner. Limit/eliminate processed carbs and sugars. Zero calorie intake after 8pm. Strength exercises 3 days on/1 day rest. Regular movement through day to compensate for desk job.
R96 Challenges: I'm hosting Thanksgiving for the first time in several years. Son is truly invested in "tradition" - meaning high sugar, high carbs. I'm going to have to plan a menu that balances that with healthy. And, I'm going to have to balance "treat" with discipline for myself.
R96 SW: 145.3 (11/18 This is a whoosh, I'm expecting a small spike.)
R96 GW: 144.0 (Should be doable even with the spike.)
11/19 (T) 144.7 Ok. I'm in shock. No bounce? I've been on plan, so maybe I've busted through? It's been a full week since I tweaked the plan to add fruit to breakfast and a handful of spinach at lunch. And it's been a good exercise week. Only one spike - and that was a sodium bloat. So maybe ...

Life got busy and I stopped taking care of myself. Time to recommit to building healthy habits:
1. log food
2. stay under calorie budget
3. Exercise
4. 10000 steps
5. Weigh myself
I’m not looking for a big loss, just a healthier version of myself. This group helped me with that in the summer! Loved the positivity and support!
