JenKindo · December 2021

Hi, I'm Jen!
Female, 5'9"
Highest weight: 235 lbs, August 20, 2021
Round 172 SW: 12/17 200.2 lbs
Round 172 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)
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: 198.4 lbs (+0.4)
Still can't believe I'm below 200. It feels unreal!

12/21: 198 lbs (-0.4)
I was expecting to go up. Pretty sore from yesterday's weight session. Need to drink a lot of water today.

12/22: 198 lbs (0)
I'll take a push. Still sore from Mondays workout so yesterday was an active rest day. Got out for a couple walks. Calories were a little low, but a lot of veggies so had trouble fitting more in my stomach!

Happy birthday, @SheilaBoneham

Look at all of us...keepin' on during this challenging holiday season! I'm smiling here as I see everyone still tracking and posting, even when the scale moves up and down. So thrilled I found this group early on. I look forward to coming here each day for inspiration. I can't wait to celebrate all of the amazing things everyone will do in 2022!!

12/18 202.0 (-.4) I got my booster shot yesterday afternoon. Feeling a bit tired, but not too bad. I didn’t schedule a thing today in preparation. I will be having my indulgence meal later so my weight will be up a bit over the next few days.  
12/19 203.8 (+1.4) I ate my indulgence meal and slept most of the day. Today, I’m hiking with my sister which will be nice.  
12/20 203.8 (+1.4) Anticipating that the scale will start moving down tomorrow. We hiked over four miles yesterday. It was cold, but beautiful. No organized exercise today, but focusing on staying on plan and drinking all my water.
12/21 203.8 (+1.4) Surprised to still be at this weight. It was a busy day yesterday. I ate late and didn’t get my water in. Still, it’s going to drop because I’m eating right. Today, I’m swimming, so a whoosh is in my near future. I’d love to be down to a new low weight before Christmas festivities commence.
12/22 202.6 (+.2) There’s a bit of a drop. Still not down to my low weight, but happy with that, especially the week of Christmas. Today is busy…no organized exercise. We have nine days left until the end of the year. And...it's been a good year.

Gaiblin · December 2021

I'm a 5'7" female in SE Michigan. I'm in my 50s.

I'm joining late -- but I'm joining again! I find posting here really helpful. Just writing down my weight and notes makes me feel accountable.

I had a super-busy week last week with work + volunteer work + houseguests arriving + travels to visit my parents a couple states over. . . .I'm home now and ready to get back to it.

My goal: be consistently at or under 158 by Christmas.

HW: 163 (July 2021)
UGW: 142 (but I'll be happy with 150 now.)

SW: 158.8
Day/Weight/Comment
12/18 - 158.8
12/19 - 159.4 Drove 6 hours; tracked all food; ate moderately OK.
12/30 - Out of town - no weigh in; tracked all my food; ate at a restaurant w/ family but found a relatively decent meal to eat; went for a 2.3 mile jog
12/21 - Out of town - no weigh in; handled food and snacks well driving 6 hours in the car. Drank more water than usual
12/22 - 157.2 ?? Likely a fluke and will be up again tomorrow; or maybe drinking more is helping?

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.

12/21 …..191.4 ….. (Trend weight 190.5) I ate horribly yesterday. I consciously chose to eat junk instead of dinner, and call it dinner! A full-on emotional binge. Later last night I decided to cook some chicken breast for today’s dinner to make it easy and something I would go to when looking for ease. I woke up this morning and my son had eaten it all. That’s the second time in the past few days he has done that. So much for prep cooking! I’ll have to have a talk with him! I’ll re-plan today’s dinner. I am feeling so horribly bad due to the bad food that I can barely function. Lethargic lack of energy. Tummy.

12/22 …..192.2 ….. (Trend weight 190.7) Another day of no TMI. Good meals but cookie baking started. A little too much taste testing. I’ll try to do better as I continue baking.

12/23 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

12/24 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

12/25 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

12/26 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

12/27 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

**************************************

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

12/21 140.0 (trend 140.5) Lots of carb cravings and felt really hormonal

12/22 142.2 (trend 140.8) Totally blew it yesterday, gah! Beers, pizza, nachos, etc etc no idea how many calories. I am expecting this to go up even further tomorrow, ah well. All willpower is gone!
Got a last minute hair appointment tomorrow because of a cancellation, yay! Haven't had a haircut in months and I really need it!

19: 209.7 Well below calories yesterday, but stayed at BF's last night so weighed late this morning. 210 was my December 30th goal, and with the holidays I'll be content to maintain where I'm at through that date. The next mini goal is 205 by January 13th.
20: 209.1 I was planning on going to the gym this morning, but I couldn't sleep last night. I'm on maybe 5 hours and feeling exhausted, so I'm taking it easy and will take extra steps to sleep better tonight. Gym tomorrow morning.

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable but I’ve been doing it for over 4 years with amazing results!

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

😎I'm hovering BELOW 140 (down 87lbs) 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼
• In Maintenance for over 2 years
• Smart BMI - optimal weight.
• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal range

Just because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessarily.
People are still dying out there……… and the numbers are on the rise again.
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷

December focus:
maintain weight < 145 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
Work on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale

I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's

I can’t quite believe I’m under 140 and staying here 😱 I keep expecting the scale to shoot up again!

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

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.
12/21 - DNW
12/22 - 159.6 - Unlike my pre-Thanksgiving craziness where I ate for weeks, I'm still staying on track on all fronts. Waiting until Christmas Eve and Christmas day to indulge a little. That's it though - 2 days only - and going to walk both days and get my water in!!

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!

@SheilaBoneham Happy Happy Birthday!!

Nahlei · December 2021

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 Rounds

169 150->151.2 (150.9) 🦃
170 151.2->148.3 (150.5)
171 148.5 -> 147.9 (147.8)

Previous Posts

12/18 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

12/19 workday 3/3. Let the holiday festivities begin! Leftovers for lunch. Spicy roasted carrots and farro with tofu for dinner. My sister sent over her homemade eggnog croquembouche and I enjoyed that after work. Cookie and gift party with my sister tomorrow and I’m going to get ingredients to make cookies tomorrow. Protein: 123

12/20 Meal planned for the week and grocery shopped. We will have visitors arriving in a couple days. I baked a few cookies and then had a Christmas cookie and gift party with my sister who has little kids and my parents. Christmas is always more exciting with kids involved and brings back the nostalgia of childhood excitement. I ate junk today.. a protein bar and cookies and pizza. My stomach feels awful hah. Back to normal eating tomorrow. Didn’t do any cardio or extra workouts but did a big pull day. Protein: ?? Low.

12/21 You’d think after doing CrossFit style workouts for 6 years that I’d know by now to never trust a workout that looks fun on paper. I did a 12 days of Christmas workout that was absolutely miserable lol (goes like the song and you aren’t halfway through until round 9 or something). And I plan to do it again with my in-laws on actual Christmas. Anyway, did that this morning and hopefully I can beat my time when I do it again. Ate normally today other than eating Christmas cookies. Leg day for strength. Had a really yummy broccoli dal with seitan for dinner. Took a walk and enjoyed the lights after dinner. Back to work for 2 days and my in-laws arrive tomorrow evening. Protein: 130

@quiltingjaine- Thanks for keep this thread going! I have been peeking in when I can but too busy to post. I am off tomorrow and Saturday and I don't celebrate Xmas so I will be able to post my weight this round and will do my best to try to post. I will not have a chance to chat much but next year I am ready to be more consistent with these rounds for sure. It is so nice to see familiar faces and new ones. Please stay safe Everyone in these very challenge times we find ourselves living in.
