    64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 207 (my 139th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine.

    Goal for this round, same as last, is to lose a pound.. No binges, keep within calories & macros.

    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 then I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. Healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.
    End of round 69 134.2 lbs
    End of round 70 133.6
    End of round 71 132.4
    End of round 72 133.2

    Day/Weight/Comment
    12/3 136 – 4.03 miles walked.
    12/4 136 – 3.36 miles walked around an advent trail with DGC, the very slow steps holding 18 month old hand whilst she walked didn't actually count the steps, but at that pace I'm barely burning any calories anyway & the experience & delight was much more enriching !!!
    12/5 135.4 – back to end of last round weight. 14.68 miles walked, it was cold: 4 degrees C, but brisk walking kept us just about ok !!
    12/6 135.4 – 9.62 miles walked.
    12/7 135.8 – 7.46 miles walked.

    12/7: 145 - I got in a 30 minute Peloton ride yesterday, stuck pretty much to my food plan, and avoided after-dinner snacks, so not sure why my weight is up this morning. Regarding my goal to stop my after-dinner snacking, I read that it takes 66 days to incorporate a new habit, so now I have 3 down and 63 to go! We're celebrating DH's birthday today and I will be drinking wine tonight with dinner. My goal is to continue to skip the after dinner snacking. I will be mindful that it will be harder due to the alcohol.

    Can you tell us how this goes for you? I have a very hard time with it… especially if I add alcohol to the mix. My brothers 30th is coming up on Saturday and I really don’t want to wash away all my progress with one night! We’re definitely going to have fun but there will be a Shot-Ski!! 😬
    << so worried about all the food temptation that will be around me

    Hey! I'm in! :) I need the accountability!

    38 year old female...5'4" ....used to be in GREAT shape, but let life take the steering wheel the last few years and made fitness and overall health the bottom of the barrel as far as priorities. I'm BEYOND ready to feel good again. I'm ready to start prioritizing my health and wellbeing again....mentally, physically, emotionally, etc.

The first half of the week is always my busiest so I'm looking forward to more movement, exercise, and water/vitamins the remaining part of the week! Woop Woop! :)

    I saw this quote on the bottom of another member's post (@deepwoodslady) and LOVED IT! What a great way to see how far you have come and where you're goal is! I copied/pasted it for me below so I can also keep track! I love the quote she added to it as well:

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again! 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s

    @MLML1984 The quote was mine, but the rest I got from someone else who has been kind enough to share with all of us. I love it too. I'm looking forward to marking off my next decade but I have a ways to go to get there! Good luck to both of us and welcome to the challenge!

    12/03 -197.0- (Trend weight 197.7)


    12/04 -197.0- (Trend weight 197.7)

    12/05 -197.8- (Trend weight 197.7)

    12/06 -199.6- (Trend weight 197.9) I just couldn’t get full yesterday. I ate 5 small meals plus 2 snacks and I truly did not even realize it. I should have been logging! Anyway, I was shocked when I stepped on the scale until I realized that it was also an expected bloat day. Today is a pill day so that, along with careful meal planning, should allow a better scale result tomorrow. I must stay strong!

    12/07 -198.0- (Trend weight 197.9) Always honest….always with accountability….. Yesterday was much better but still not perfect. Now that the reno is mainly done, I don’t have people here everyday, and I’m fully decorated for Christmas, I think maybe boredom has set in? Especially in the evening when all my household work is all done. I think I need to start a new book or something. NOT SNACK. No bloat today, good TMI and good meal choices helped facilitate this drop. But my habits need to go back to very good, not just good. Good is not good enough when I still have 50 pounds to lose! Travel tomorrow and Friday. Thur = more dental. Fri = Cardiac Rehab Orientation and exercise testing to see my current level. These are in two different cities in opposite directions. I plan on being mindful but we all know how me and big town restaurants go. I'm going to work on my attitude today. First thought for Friday during rehab.....I'll be going twice a week for about 3 months. I don't need to eat all the food up in one visit. I've got plenty of time to s..p..r..e..a..d i..t o..u..t. Be smart about it Donna!

    12/08 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

    12/09 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

    12/10 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

    12/11 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

    12/12 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

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

    • Wed 12/07: 175.4; +2.4lbs
      ^ ^ I’m sure this is all water weight ^ ^
      Had plenty of temptation for dinner since husband wanted Chili’s and then I topped it off with ice cream for dessert, only positive was that I was conscientious while eating dinner and only ate half of my meal
      I believe I didn’t do so well because I didn’t log my food, and I didn’t log my food because my lunch was too difficult to figure. I let myself slide for the rest of the day after that. weight.png

    • Tues 12/06🔴173; -.6lbs
      ~ Made leftover cabbage, chicken thighs and cauliflower rice into a stir fry.. added some soy and sesame, canned mushroom and an egg. It was really tasty! Trying out a new Ticker this week (Thank you to whomever I stole this idea from🤗) weight.png
    • Mon 12/05🔴173.6; -1.4lbs
      ~ So much better today! Mondays are always bring such smooth sailing, when it comes to eating weight.png
    • Sun 12/04🔴175; +2lbs
      ~ Not emotional eating this time. But I did eat when I wasn’t hungry and played a mental game of “Eat this/that because tomorrow (Monday) I won’t be able to” Not sure what my actual weight was last night but I’m guessing it went up a pound or two; Also, I felt really sick after my binge last night (documenting so I stay present and accountable)..needless to say I’m not happy with that[/quote]
    • Sat 12/03🔴173; +2.4lbs
      ~ My dad made his famous hamburgers and loaded potato salad and there were a few things that sabotaged my eating and my weight last night.
      ~ I didn’t log anything;
      ~ I didn’t drink half the water I usually drink;
      ~ I went a little crazy with snacking later at night all by myself. I think I was doing a little emotional eating and covered up some sadness that I didn’t and don’t want(or know how) to deal with right now. BUT: Today will be a better day!
    • SW: 170.6
      ~ Fought off my hungry alter ego monster for the last 10 days. Hopefully I won’t have too many more plans during this next round! Remember: don’t stop reading affirmations and meditating.
      ~ Ready as I’ll ever be!!💪

    Day/Weight/Comment
    12/02 …..197.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
    12/03 -197.0- (Trend weight 197.7)


    12/04 -197.0- (Trend weight 197.7)

    12/05 -197.8- (Trend weight 197.7)

    12/06 -199.6- (Trend weight 197.9) I just couldn’t get full yesterday. I ate 5 small meals plus 2 snacks and I truly did not even realize it. I should have been logging! Anyway, I was shocked when I stepped on the scale until I realized that it was also an expected bloat day. Today is a pill day so that, along with careful meal planning, should allow a better scale result tomorrow. I must stay strong!

    12/07 -198.0- (Trend weight 197.9) Always honest….always with accountability….. Yesterday was much better but still not perfect. Now that the reno is mainly done, I don’t have people here everyday, and I’m fully decorated for Christmas, I think maybe boredom has set in? Especially in the evening when all my household work is all done. I think I need to start a new book or something. NOT SNACK. No bloat today, good TMI and good meal choices helped facilitate this drop. But my habits need to go back to very good, not just good. Good is not good enough when I still have 50 pounds to lose! Travel tomorrow and Friday. Thur = more dental. Fri = Cardiac Rehab Orientation and exercise testing to see my current level. These are in two different cities in opposite directions. I plan on being mindful but we all know how me and big town restaurants go. I'm going to work on my attitude today. First thought for Friday during rehab.....I'll be going twice a week for about 3 months. I don't need to eat all the food up in one visit. I've got plenty of time to s..p..r..e..a..d i..t o..u..t. Be smart about it Donna!

    12/08 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

    12/09 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

    12/10 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

    12/11 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

    12/12 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

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

    Have you thought about taking your own food for one of the trips and eating at a restaurant the other, thereby helping you stay more in control for the week?
