I’m 5’7, 29 years old, female. I follow a lifting
program and would like to decrease my body fat while maintaining muscle mass.
My starting weight in Oct 2021 was 156.6
Goals: stay in a mild calorie deficit on non-holiday days this round, hit 110-140 grams of protein per day, 20-30 minutes of cardio on lifting days (4xweek, non-work days), complete all 6 programmed strength training sessions during my 4 days off per week, enjoy my family and the special holiday days 🎄 🎁✨

Previous Posts12/18 Workday 2/3. I was in charge which is always extra stress when we are understaffed (which is almost always right now) since you have your own patients + the rest of the unit’s problems to deal with. I always thought the nurses who talked about the full moon were silly until I spent enough time in the hospital. Anyway.. one more day. Leftover vindaloo and tofu for lunch. Broccoli edamame pea fried rice with tempeh for dinner. Protein: 116

Round 172 (104th for me). I prove yet again round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow.
There are only 7 days to Christmas !! Challenge this year is not to gain any additional pounds & I need to remain binge free, but as always – yet again any loss will be a win!
Covid numbers are going up again in England (Omnicrom) – the pandemic is still very much here: Covid is still very much around! Continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in public indoor settings, think before you head out, stay alert and always consider others.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 took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But than I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

**************************************
12/18 141.4 (trend 140.6) Starting the new round with an almost 3lb gain is fascinating! How? This is after tmi etc and I don't feel bloated or anything. How peculiar! Doesn't bode well for my end of year goal of 140 trend weight... gonna have to be very careful this week. Having a roast today though so starting tomorrow...wink
12/19 140.2 (trend 140.6) That's a bit better! Trying to decide what to do about Christmas, even if my bro and his family, who are all C19+, test negative by then, the London mayor has declared a 'major incident' due to how fast cases are rising there so we're not sure if it's a good idea to go. But then we don't have a kitchen just a little toaster oven so if we don't go then it's gonna be tricky to do Christmas lunch at home. We'll have to play it by ear.
12/20 140.6 (trend 140.6) Had a few treats yesterday as I went out shopping with my daughter. Had a Greek salad with chicken and pita and later shared a piece of cheesecake, then salty snacks and whisky in the evening. If I can maintain this trend weight to the end of the year I'll be ok with that.
Did have a trip to IKEA planned for today but cancelled it, gonna try and stay home and virus free for the rest of the week instead. Stay safe everyone x

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Well, this round includes Christmas. That doesn’t worry me so much- it’s only one day- it’s the rest of the time that will be spent in the kitchen baking. I’m actively planning it out to break all the baking into smaller chunks, and I’m hopeful that doing so will allow me to drop 1-2 lbs this round. So here we go! Let the new round begin!

12/20 193.4 Woohoo! A nice relaxing day paid off! I swear, stress makes me stall like crazy! Step goal achieved and finished the day with 71 net carbs. Bring on this busy week!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/17 …..189.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/18 ….191.2 ….. (Trend weight 190.3) Well, for Crying Out Loud! I had a good dietary day yesterday. Better than I have in awhile. No TMI, no sleep last night and early weigh-in probably contributing but it still feels like I’ll spend the entire round trying to get back to start weight! Far travels today for Christmas shopping with daughter. There will be plenty of car sitting and restaurant food will be in the picture which we always enjoy since we are from a very rural area with few choices in dining out. I’ll try to walk off as much as possible with that shopping, but my daughter is at that age where she will be rushing. I’m the type who can shop till I drop and would be using way more calories up if I was on my own. I plan to enjoy the day though. City sidewalks….Busy sidewalks….. Here I come!
12/19 …..191.0 ….. Trend weight 190.4) I arrived home from the Christmas shopping travels at 2:00 AM! I threw all caution to the wind and ate both lunch and dinner at the restaurants out of town. Lots of calories and not as much walking as you might expect. Plenty of time standing in place looking at toy shelves and clothing racks. Lots of time sitting in car driving two hours each way plus driving between many stores. I had fun though and I may be done with the shopping. Weight actually went down a touch overnight (trend slightly up). I suppose it will catch up to me in the coming days and I may see an uptick. If so, that would be fair. Keeping it honest, friends!
12/20 …..191.2 ….. (Trend weight 190.5) Back & Forth like a teeter-totter between 191 and 191.2 . I was hoping for a drop. I guess I should just be happy it didn’t go higher yet after the travels. I attended a funeral home service/memorial yesterday for a friend that was so well loved by so many. She was only 55 and died after an asthma attack. She spent many years having difficulty breathing and having many allergies but this was a shocker. It was difficult seeing her husband and family in such shocked and horrendous grief. This has been a hard year for so many. I, for one, can’t take much more and will be happy to say goodbye to 2021.

Thought I’d be down a little this morning, but I guess it’s gonna take a few days for lower cals to kick in. No problem. I baked a mincemeat pie yesterday and had a small piece but still kept cals below 1500, so not too bad. I’ve been laughing at Mike (cat) and Rory (puppy) playing their usual game. Mike calls it Whack-a-Dog, Rory calls it Chase a Cat. Rory chase Mike under the bed, then jumps on top, off the other side, races around and down the hall, Mike runs out from under the bed and whacks Rory as he goes by, Rory runs a loop around the living room, rinse, repeat. At least they get some exercise on this wet, cold, gloomy morning—maybe I should join in! And I get to laugh.😁
12/19 - 180, Ave 180.8
Ok, maybe I will make my under 180 goal for my birthday! DH asked for oatmeal cookies this morning, so I just baked a batch. I’m going to (try to) limit myself to one. I’m going to enjoy everything this week, but try to keep the totals down. Hard to believe it’s almost Christmas!

Hello, again! 60F, 5' 3.5”
Round goal: 140 lbs or less (I WILL be eating some holiday goodies!)
End-of-year goal: 140 lbs or less
End of Feb goal (vacation): 135 lbs, UGW
SW: 138.4 (from last Round, 12-17-21)
Day/Weight/Comment
12/18. 138.4. Went to a Christmas party last night and followed my party food strategy. I expected a bit of an uptick, so all is good!
12/19 140.1. OK, so, following the Christmas party on Friday, I logged my best guesses for food. And although I followed my Christmas food 'strategy', I racked up close to 750 calories for the party. Admittedly, I probably guessed on the high side, but it was probably at least 600 calories. (My strategy is 3 goodies and one punch drink per party). Clearly, this was a oh, my gosh moment and I was able to justify not logging yesterday (don't try to figure out the rationale; there is none). Which, of course, included the reasoning to eat 3 cookies on a non-party day. In an hour or two, I will be going to another Christmas party, keeping to my strategy. And, yes, I am back to logging today. It has been a little disconcerting on how off-track my thinking got with one setback (awareness of the high calories even with my strategy). I think my strategy is reasonable, however. Although my goal for the end-of-the-year is 140 lbs, I will keep in mind my UG of 135 lbs end of Feb (vacation). (I'm already trying to brace myself for the end-of-year weight.)
12/30. 139.0 Followed my party strategy; goodies yesterday added up to far less than my last party! Still over a good 200 calories for the day, but that is ok/planned. Now, I only have (very) small family gatherings Christmas Eve and Day. These will be the higher calories count, for sure. I don't believe I've ever had a 'strategy' for holiday treats before, other than planning (and not following through) to not 'sample' goodies as I bake them. So, far, so good, although I more than likely will not be able to fit in exercise on Christmas Day.

So glad I am back down, now to see if I can make it to 131. That will be a sign of progress. Typically I would head back up to 134. I want to break that cycle.

Hi, I'm Jen!
Female, 5'9"
Highest weight: 235 lbs, August 20, 2021
Challenge SW: 12/17 200.2 lbs
Challenge GW: 199
12/18: 199.6 lbs (-.6)
Well, my challenge goal was to get under 200, then I weighed in this morning! 😄 I'm going to keep it at 199, just because I've gone down .6 lbs 4 days in a row so I'm anticipating a rebound. Fingers crossed it doesn't, but that's how my body rolls!
12/19: 198 lbs (-1.6)
Well, I was not expecting that! I drank a lot of water yesterday so maybe flushed out some fluid. I also focused on relaxing and stress relief in the evening.
12/20: lbs 198.4 (+0.4)
Still can't believe I'm below 200. It feels unreal!

Thank you @quiltingjaine for keeping this going!
May 10, 2021: 183.1 - just 2.9 pounds off 186, my heaviest weight ever.
Calorie/Carb Cycling with an average of 1200 to 1400 calories at the end of 10 days. 80 oz water each day. Row/Walk/Free-Weights most days. IF, no sugar. Focus on getting enough vegetables. If I hit each of these, the weight loss will follow!
Next goal: - 140's by my birthday, Feb 10.
159....158....157....156....155....154....153....152....151....150....149
End of Last Round: 159.8
12/18 - 159.8 - I started back rowing this morning. Rowed 30 mins and it felt so good. I'm going to walk this afternoon too before our first snow comes this afternoon and tonight. It's going to be cold this week so should stick around for a white Christmas.
12/19 - DNW
12/20 - 159.8 - Even though I'm weighing the same, I can tell I'm still losing. Shoveled snow yesterday, and drank 64oz water.

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's
If I quit now, I'll soon be back where I started. And when I started, I so desperately wanted to be where I am now!
There is no going back! NOT THIS TIME!10 -
