SW:187.4
I’m late starting this challenge but hoping to tag onto your motivation and frienship. My last holiday guests just got on the plane. The house is quiet. It’s been a chaotic holiday season. I'm looking for a re-set. I'm not comfortable in my skin or in my clothes. I'm avoiding cameras. It's back to MFP. I badly need to de-sugar, de-junk, and get control back, get on plan. More veggies, more protein, more exercise, less empty calories.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/23. 136.6 - no structured walking, my day for childminding 2 little DGS.
12/24. 137.4 - oh dear, Christmas goodies and no walking showing up already!! Yesterday was a washout; heavy rain all day & preparation for the big day as well as nails and hair appointments.
12/25 🎄 DNW - Happy Christmas everyone & hope all my friends across the pond are able to stay safe and warm with the massive storm you are having 🤞🙏. Came away for Christmas, brought our caravan up to a site close to DD, DS & their families, so concentrating on making sure I'd brought all the presents etc, that forgot to pack the scales!! I'll still try to keep restrained, but it is Christmas, so when I get home at the weekend I'll see the damage!!. Managed to fit a 5.5 mile walk in after we arrived & set up on site.
12/26 - DNW - Had a wonderful day with family, all the little DGC were so excited and all presents loved. Managed 4 mile walked before rain came in the morning.
12/27 DNW - boxing day at DS & family, managed 3 mile walk before and 4 on our return. Plenty more goodies! Sticking to 2 meals per day and trying only to pick in between!!
12/28 DNW - just short of 9 miles walked yesterday to Hardwick Hall, had a coffee and walked back, didn't quite beat the rain, had a lazy reading afternoon.

12/28 186.2 Great job yesterday on calories and exercise. This is going to be a hard turn around but I’m feeling positive. I got myself a pair of 17.5 dumbbells for Xmas that I’m excited to start using. I have increments of 5lb from 5-50lbs but have been struggling to jump from 15 to 20lb for some of the lighter lifts. Yay for 17.5!!!6 -

12/28 - DNW - Hi, I'm still alive. I don't feel like it. I have a horrible sinus infection I've been battling since the 23rd. And then work absolutely BLEW UP. It's not fun being the only person "in the office" (AKA not on vacation) during holidays when things have been left unfinished. It was a task that would take 1 experienced person approximately a full week to sort through. They gave me a day and a half. Oh, and I've never done it so I'm having to learn as I go. Oh, and nobody senior is in the office to help me or nudge me in the right direction. Overtime also isn't approved for this and with BF's kids down here, I have been trying NOT to work any unpaid overtime and miss out on fun with them but still get this done. I'm missing out anyway because they were gone all day yesterday. They're going to be gone all day today while I'm stuck home. Good news is, though, I found a place to inspect and clean my chimney so we can use our fireplace, finally! A little late with the cold snap that just passed, but luckily we didn't lose power so didn't need it anyway. Hopefully, with that stuff turned in yesterday, I can relax today and tomorrow work-wise. I'm off Friday but kids leave Friday to go back to Kansas. Booo.

Thank you for all the birthday wishes yesterday! Obviously, looking at my weight this morning, I enjoyed myself. That was the plan! It’s -9F here right now, wind chill -35F. Not going out! I am planning to make a pot of jambalaya to warm us up tonight. Yum! To the rest of you in the path of this wicked cold storm, stay warm and safe.
12/24 - 178.8
Happy Christmas Eve to all. I’m not doing much baking since we’re pretty much locked down, so not too many sweets around, but I do plan to make a mince pie today and homemade cranberry sauce. I made a really yummy jambalaya soup last night with Andouille sausage, chicken, and shrimp — perfect for a zero and below (F, not C!) day. I’ve also been indulging in a box of beautiful chocolates that DH got for my birthday. If I gain a couple of pounds, oh well, it’s Christmas, and they’ll come off. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Oh, and this little boy is my present to myself — coming home either next week or the week after, depending on driving weather. Looking for a name now. (Lavender refers to his collar color.) 😍

I knew it. But it’s ok, I decided to enjoy the few treats we had for Christmas. Just one piece each of mince pie left, so I’ll be back on track today or tomorrow. I’m looking forward to turkey leftovers! Yum!
12/27 - 179.6
I almost skipped weighing this morning, but decided it couldn’t be worse than yesterday. 😁
12/28 - 180
No problem. My calories were low yesterday, so just residue from birthday-Christmas week.

12/27 -200.8- (Trend weight 198.9) Up another 0.2 but that’s not bad after our huge Family Christmas dinner yesterday. Forced all the leftovers on the kids to take home. They all took tons of goodies home too and still a lot left. Gonna box them up and force them on others whenever possible. I don’t need all this fudge and cookies in this house!
12/28 -200.6- (Trend weight 199.1)My cat usually prefers her own fluffy cozy space on my big king size bed at night. Last night she was kneading herself out a spot on my stomach. I wonder why? Humph…. She has done this a few times in the past. Strange…..(LOL) My weight went down a touch but trend weight is still going up. Gotta turn that around! Anyway, rehab today so there will be some travel. Shopping after for some Christmas clearance I hope.

12/28- 118.2 (travel scale) 1st full day of cruise-not a bad start so far. Clearly did not drink enough water; my legs twitched all night. Today may be our anniversary or it might have been yesterday or tomorrow. I could find out which day but after 48 years of celebrating all three days, why would I want to?6 -

12/27: 149 (+3.8) - @SheilaBoneham I'm with you in that I almost didn't weigh this morning. Hard to lose and easy to gain (ugh!). I'm home now and getting back on track with food and exercise. I didn't get in any type of exercise over the holiday weekend other than walking my son's dog. I Pelotoned it last night for 45 minutes after our long drive home but it did not make up for the extra calorie intake over the past few days. I had some small victories but my resolve weakened as the days passed and I didn't hold back in the end on the homemade cookies and candy. Oh, well. Today's a new day!

@Machias1949 Happy anniversary, New Year's, etc.! Wishing you safe and happy travels.
@deepwoodslady Great job practicing discipline over the holiday festivities. I'm a little frustrated with myself because, although I started out well, I didn't in the end.
@CamandJarvis I'm sorry you had to work and one a hard task over the holiday. I've been there and done that. I hope you get to spend some quality time with family and yourself!5 -
Photos of the kitten. We witnessed improvement and growth over the few days we were with her. She's very vocal and gets hangry. It's a lot of work and my son and his girlfriend are doing a great job helping this little one thrive. She only recently opened her eyes. In the first photo she has a bit of a milk mustache.
@quiltingjaine Thanks for sharing your photo. It's hilarious that the huge dog was afraid of the kitten. Right now, my son's Husky wants to eat the little kitten. For one thing, the kitten sounds just like one of his squeaky toys. We kept our 4-year old cat, Sport, and the dog separated. Our cat hung out in our bedroom, on the bed for the most part. She figured out how to open the door and would venture out into the rest of the condo while the dog was still in bed.7 -

Day/Weight/Comment
I’m late starting this challenge. My last holiday guests just got on the plane. It’s been a chaotic holiday season. Looking for a re-set. I’ve been unhappy with where I”m at for quite some time, so back to MFP. I badly need to de-sugar, de-junk, and get back on plan. More veggies, more protein, more exercise, less empty calories.

12/27 - Starting Day - 187.4,
12/28 - 187.8 - I think my weight is still going up after an intense holiday filled with sugar. Hopefully this is the high point and it can start coming down. Yesterday was a pretty good day with healthy and light choices all day. I tracked all my food, and stayed under my calorie limit.
Goal for today: Another healthy day with 30 min of exercise, and consistent tracking as well.

12/27 / 179 / Back to tracking every morsel. I definitely learned some things about myself this last month. I have a month until I go away for a three week vacation so I really need to get my mind right. Hope you all enjoyed the holiday season!
12/28 / 179.6 / Everything was on track last night but I finished it with a mini snack binge. I did get out for a walk despite feeling unwell.

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. I’ve been doing it for over 5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

12/23 125.5 Not sure how I missed posting yesterday and instead of notifying me that I hadn’t logged in when I actually had, MFP DIDN’T notify when I hadn’t!
12/24 125.5 Great Greek for OMAD yesterday because they are closed today and tomorrow. Local DD with whom we have annual plans is sick again so plans may be cancelled. Family tradition of pizza for Christmas Eve dinner since 1977 or 1978.
12/25 124.5 MERRY CHRISTMAS! We didn’t get pizza. We ate GG leftovers. Now DH seems to have a bug!
12/26 127.0 We had so looked forward to spending some time with DGGS (6 months) on his first Christmas but sickness at his house and at ours prevented that. Our Dear Neighbor brought us Christmas dinner because Carl is sick. Hidden salt? Sugar? Lots of carbs! Now my throat feels funny.
12/27 126.5 Can’t say I’m happy about this but looking at the graph,
my weight appears to have been creeping up since soon after my husband’s first surgery in September. January 11 is his next follow up and he should be allowed to drive again. Thank goodness!
12/28 126.5 DH has been sick since 12/23 and couldn’t swallow yesterday because his throat was so sore. Trip to Urgent Care - Not flu, not COVID, not strep. Extremely swollen lymph nodes. Steroid and antibiotic.Hope he feels better today, I’m not feeling great myself. Picked up Chinese on the way home. General Tso’s chicken for me (so much sugar!) and cashew shrimp for him. He couldn’t eat it so it’s in the refrigerator. I hope he can swallow today.10 -

When realistically, it's still a loss. I guess I just feel that after restricting myself for a whole day, I should get a bigger reward 😅

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.

12/28: 147 (-2.0) Tracked food and Pelotoned it yesterday (40 minutes) so starting to make up for my Christmas eating foolery. But that's not good is it, that I'm having to/trying to "make up". Oh, well, it's better than giving up altogether. On a lighter note, I am thoroughly enjoying my PTO. I have the whole week off. Yay! I really needed it. I wish I could take the whole month of January, yeah, and February ... and March.... and ... It's not that I don't love my job, I would just love a break.

For anyone struggling with staying under calories but not losing, I want to share my story. For years and years, when I'm tracking, I've been eating low calorie breakfasts and lunches and saving most of my calories for dinner. And those breakfasts sometimes have been high in sugar (e.g. Toaster Strudel). I've been reading about nutrition and blood sugar levels and how our bodies need protein and fiber spread out during the day (not just at night), especially as we get older, to help us prevent muscle loss (with exercise/weights), plus more benefits. I have changed up my diet so that I'm getting in at least 25g protein and 5g fiber at every meal with a 7g/2g protein/fiber snack during the day and evened out my calories across meals (as much as possible). I feel better, I'm not getting that 2 p.m. tiredness, and my blood sugar levels have gone back down to the normal range (I've been teetering a little above normal range for a couple years). I go over my calorie limit sometimes but I still see good results when I do this. I'm not as hungry and for the most part I don't feel like I'm sacrificing. I changed MFP so that I can see the amount of protein and fiber intake. This is working for me when I stick to it. I just go off track sometimes. Old habits are hard to break.
Here are a couple resources for anyone interested.- The Whole Body Reset book - Not a diet, has lots of recipes and examples, and cites the research behind why you should make sure you get the necessary protein/fiber during the day.
- https://drbeckyfitness.com/ - She has several helpful videos that explains how the body processes food, etc. I think she pushes the Keto diet and wants you to sign up for something. I'm not signing up and not doing Keto but I found several of her videos helpful.
