Seeing as I’m back for another round I should introduce myself.I’m 45 years old and a tiny 5ft 2 inches. I’ve been married to my DH for 19 years and next year is our 20th anniversary. DH and I are parents to 2 DD who are in their late teens. I’ve made a commitment to get myself in check before I’m 50
Still off work with laryngitis and feeling pretty sorry for myself. My eating has not been great but still logging everything I eat. That’s a major victory for me. I know before this challenge I would just not have logged what I ate and ignored eating over my calories for the day. It’s enlightening because even though I’m over it’s not by as much as I thought. Not small enough over to lose but a win is a win 🥇 ☺️

12/5 Yesterday: ✅ 1503 cal & macros, (becoming more keto vs ketovore- my last several days more protein needed.) Yesterday I planned on taking a tennis clinic in the evening, so I didn’t work out during the day… Then it was canceled. No 🚶♀️no 🏋️♀️. Disappointed with no activity.
Will make it happen today!

**********************
11/28 Yesterday: ✅ 1100 cal, macros 6.8k 🚶♀️, 78 min ex, 23 min 💓Z2, 🔥Total 619 cal. Opted out of an add’l walk cuz of fast. ✅ Calisthenics & stretching. Will 🏋️♀️today since fast is over.
Broke fast at 71 hrs.30 min. I wasn’t hungry it was more about wanting to eat dinner at 6:30 instead of 7PM. 😎 I’m usually finished eating by 6PM every night so I wanted to eat earlier for next IF. I learned from the fast that I can live through being “hungry” … It’s 💯 mind over body. One tough part was between 48 and 50 hours I got a mild headache. Ended up sleeping well. Fasting increased my will power - at least the perception 😎. Today: 🎾🚶♀️🏋️♀️💪🏻Onward!
11/29 Yesterday: ✅ 1464 cal & macros, 13.6k🚶♀️, 190 min ex plus addl 63 min 💓Z2, 🔥1193cal plus🔥230 cals Z2 💓 ✅ 🎾, 🏋️♀️& Calisthenics🙌🏻 I may have overdone it yesterday…. 🙃 Calories a little over but I worked out big.
Today’s Activity: I think I’m developing a stone bruise on my left foot and will play the day by ear. 😢
11/30 Yesterday: ✅ 1344 cal & macros, 10.1k🚶♀️, 65 ex min includes 50 min 💓Z2, 🔥480 ex cal incudes🔥255cals Z2 💓.
And ✅🏋️♀️Took it easy yesterday… I wanted to do more, but had to let it go. Cancelled 🎾. Nice weather, so I walked “gently” to town, piddled & walked home. That was a mistake. My left heel definitely needs TLC, ice all day & rest. First injury that I can remember…. Walking is a wonderful time for reflection but will have to “call in” sick for a few days. Will post 👖📸 later this morn.
12/1 Yesterday: ✅ 1288 cal & macros, 4.1k🚶♀️, 👉🏻ZERO everything else. Nothing to track.
Don’t know how I got in 4.1k steps for walking around the house w/a cane (Actually, joking about the cane, but I did hop around, so maybe over counting hops ?!?!!) Ice does wonders but it should classify as torture.
NSVs- I’m mindful now of what & when I choose to eat… Not obsessing, but clearly mindful. It’s turning into fuel only instead of emotion, comfort, or a tastebud party. I’m also congratulating myself throughout the day with increased positive self-talk. I am finding that growing confidence & healthy choices (includes many decisions not just food) far outweigh the dopamine rush or guilt associated w/the fleeting momentary pleasure of BAD CHOICES. Yes, bad. Gotta be real with myself here. For me, it’s about self-discipline-a battle of the mind.
90% of my will-power relies on the fact that my pantry & fridge don’t include temptations. If we have items that my DH wants, by my request, he hides them… 😃!
Really enjoyed interacting on the group yesterday 😎
“Pants-demonium….👖” I am forever learning and inspired. Pumped. Giggles too!
Today: another day of lack of movement …nursing my foot and going to a party tonight with 7 friends since high school… NOTE: 5 of 7 have not/are not choosing health. I do receive passive-aggressive grief from the crew…Some of you have mentioned this before… (The efforts to sabotage, judgments, lack of support, eye-rolling, etc.) And I will definitely experience it tonight!👀 I am prepared. My mom always said… “Kill’em with kindness!”
12/2 Yesterday: 🚫3450 cal & macros, 2.1k🚶♀️, 👉🏻ZERO everything else. Nothing to track.
Not a great day yesterday, but I’m not going to fret. I nursed my foot yesterday, so still no activity. Today I will try and 🏋️♀️ and Exercises that don’t involve weight on my left foot.
Party last night: ✅one cocktail, ✅small portions of appetizer, veal and veggie, but…. 🚫 I couldn’t say NO TO DESSERT! Sugars busted me last night and I feel like 💩 this morning. So I give myself a D. Didn’t totally flunk, but I truly did not plan on eating dessert and I did. So I broke my promise to ME.
Forgiven! MOVE ON. I’ll get back on my plan today. Was it worth it? NO! I will remember this feeling for the next temptation.
12/3 Yesterday: ✅ 1272 cal & macros, 3.6k🚶♀️, Got in 40-45 min of light calisthenics, basketball, and walking with my DGS… But I did not measure it. Negligible activity.
Good news: Decided to get a spontaneous “InBody” and I GAINED 1.3lbs SMM (Muscle mass) and LOST 3.0lbs of FAT.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Woo-hoo! 🙌🏻 But… water retention was up so I’m assuming that was from the party …… Told to 👆🏻up my calorie intake to 1440 because I’m not eating enough…. That’s something I’m not used to hearing!
Yes, very positive but I’m also let down 🤨 that I kicked my body out of ketosis — will now take me 3+++ days to return. I was thinking just how UNSTOPPABLE I would have FELT if I would’ve avoided the carbs Friday night… I must remember this feeling…
My foot is almost 100%. If weather allows, I’ll get in steps & will enjoy full Calisthenics and 🏋️♀️. I’ll figure out how to get it done. Need me some 🌞☀️!
BIG DEAL NSV- I’ve decided to pass on a few holiday parties. I have new priorities. Not going this weekend. Cutting it down to people I LOVE. WHAT A FREAKING WIN!
💪🏻 LETS GO!!!!
12/4 Yesterday: ✅ 1580* cal & macros, 🚶♀️11.2k, 193 ex min includes 75 min 💓Z2, ✅Calisthenics and 🏋️♀️, 🔥1178 total ex cal.
*Advised to eat more/replenish cuz of today’s workout. 🔥
NSV — I took a different approach to my “workout” yesterday. I spent 60+ min on the 🎾court, plus 30+ min of calisthenics / ST at my health club’s basketball court. I had actually never been to the indoor 🏀 ct / gym even though I’ve been a member for 12+ years. I spied TRX bands, weights, kettlebells, heavy balls, balance balls, etc in the CORNER…! While the weight room was busy, the gym was empty. So for 30min the gym became my own personal playground! I simply NEVER would have explored/ventured there without @quiltingjaine ‘s nudge. THANK YOU!! I now feel I can do this🤸🏼🏋️♀️on a regular basis. And guess what?! IT WAS FUN! I felt like I was playing “pirate” & ended up with my personal treasure island. Big score. Definitely planning on ST there often.
👍🏻 on ⬆️cals, macros & 💦. Walked to the grocery store in the afternoon to cap off the day. My foot is ✅.
Today: ready to explore.✨

Health Journey
************************
1990 (Age 32) - Avg. 135 lbs
2001 (Age 43) - Avg 145 lbs
2010 (Age 52) HW 172 lbs
UGW = 130lbs (ceiling)
In Aug 2014 @ 157lbs (down 15 from heaviest of 172lbs in 2010), I decided to take control of my health. I lost 30lbs by 1/1/2015. Weight topped @ 128-132lbs through the end of 2020. Five years!
🎢 Roller Coaster Begins….
2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-137lbs. Three more solid years.
8/1/ 2022 crept up to 140lbs.
Dropped to 128lbs again by 9/30 then held 130lbs till 12/22.
2023 Back ⬆️ 145lbs by July 15! 15lbs BOOM! Enjoyed eating & margaritas way too much! Ive always eaten healthy BUT portion control is/was a huge issue. Started tracking. Joined “Just give me 10 days” R231 in beginning of 8/2023. Here we are!
I learned MY choices created an emotional 🎢 roller coaster with yo-yo weight and fitness. My forever goal is to reach 130lbs as a ceiling. Pretty clear to me that once I reached my 60s, I would reach a goal weight and then relax/ drift backwards. So glad 145lbs was the max over the last nine years.
I also noticed that as I aged it became much MUCH more difficult to lose weight. I could loose 15lbs easy in 6 to 8 weeks up to my 60s … This is absolutely not true anymore!!!!

I. must. find. a. routine!
Has the link for the next round been shared?7 -
This my second round, I am happy that I continue!
A quick info about myself, I’m 34 years old and 164 cm. I’m a phd student so I mostly sit, not very active. I try to go to the gym at least 3 times a week, but mostly end up by going once or twice. I have been trying to lose weight for about 20 years funnily I have gained 50 kgs through those years. Now I’m 103.8 kg and I hope be 75 kg in a year or more.

I'm jumping in mid round, because I fell off the wagon hard the last few days. I need to pull myself together and hold myself accountable. I've played around here the last couple rounds, but need to be more consistent. The good, the bad and the ugly.
I'm Julie. 35 years old. Married. SAHM to two year old twins. From Arizona.
SW: 139.8
12/4: 139.8. Had McDonald's AND a blizzard from Dairy Queen. I went way over on my calories. On the plus side, I ran 6 miles (6.2 miles in 61 minutes. Trying to get 10k time under 60 minutes. Very happy with the progress of this run). I'm feeling a bit guilty about the choices I made over the weekend. I'm going to give OMAD a real shot this week and see if it's right for me.
12/5: 138.0. I stuck with OMAD yesterday. I'm a little on the hungry side, so I need to keep tweaking it to see if I can find a macro split that helps keep me from getting hungry. I like the idea of just eating once a day and then forgetting about food the rest of the day. It's just not quite working right now. I'm giving it the week though to figure it out. I ran 3 miles last night.9 -
My second round! Feeling positive! I am focusing on a low-carb breakfast every day and a no carb lunch.
I lose weight quickly at the start of low-carb and then things slow down and motivation can start to drain. Hopefully I will start understanding the "lifestyle not a diet" phrase. Posted my "before" picture this afternoon. Weighing every day for my own motivation. I am always rounding up to the next pound. No more decimals.

I'm 30F and committed to wondering less about the scale and wondering instead about how great it's going to be when my daily healthy practices are so normal that it would be weird not to do them, even on vacations or holidays. It has been nice so far.
I'm confident in my pants and now I am adding a mini goal to read on my stationary bike at least 30 minutes for at least 3/10 days.
I need to remember: Enjoy the process. Don't fixate on the outcome.
11/28 macros ✔️ ST ✔️
11/29 macros ✔️
11/30 130.0👖From having to pull them up on my thighs and barely being able to button them to easily sliding them on my legs and buttoning without having to suck in. Whoohoo!
12/1 macros ✔️ ST ✔️
12/2 macros ✔️ bike goal not met even though I could see it while I read on the couch. Trying again tonight.
12/3 macros ✔️
12/4 macros ✔️
12/5 macros ✔️ ST ✔️ bike ✔️ (finally)

12/04 DNW ~ Can not find scale after moving
12/05 DNW ~ Can not find scale after moving - Decent eating yesterday and decent meals planned for today but no scale to see how I am affected.
12/06 DNW ~ Can not find scale after moving - New scale arrives today so should have a starting point for the next round. I'm sure it will not be good. The scale dependency is interesting. If my some amazing miracle - I am less than 220.2 - I may just reduce my daily weight-ins...but if I'm up... then I know I need to see that number daily!!!

@CamandJarvis ~ Sorry for the loss of your grandfather. It's particularly difficult this time of year. Prayers for you and your family.

SW RND 243 131.5
11/28. 132.5 Fasting today, I hope. Up before 4:30AM - UGH! Ate at Art Quilt potluck, had a glass of wine after I got home and enjoyed my half pita and 1 ounce of melitzanosalata. Nothing but water and coffee since about 6 last night. We’ll see what today brings.
11/29 132.0 My intended fast didn’t last. My stomach was growling, REALLY growling by 11. At least I didn’t go crazy. I’m good with that. Today I have a nail appointment and a dermatology appointment. Should have some time to kill between so will walk in a store probably. Tonight is community Bingo with pizza for dinner. I think I’ll pick up a salad for myself and try to avoid pizza crust.
11/30 133.0 at 4:30AM! Dinner at Bingo was fried chicken. I will attempt fasting since DH is taking friend to lunch. I have a quart of homemade chicken broth in the fridge.
12/1 131.5 DH’s lunch was cancelled yesterday. I did a “modified fast.”
12/2 133.0 Ran errands Nothing sounded good for dinner so we just started driving and went to Jimmy John’s. Unfortunately I got salt and vinegar chips. BOY! They were delish!
⭐️⭐️Starting today I am getting back to exercising and eating better.
12/3 132.5 Ran 1 errand yesterday, helped a neighbor, and SEWED for the first time in a long time. Making “stuffy” Dino’s for DGGS for Christmas. Got over 5000 steps, my modest goal.
Not sure how I failed to post yesterday. I was oddly emotional when I read that some people consider a lingering hummingbird a sign that the spirit of a loved one is near. Yesterday was my mom’s 111 birthday
although she is celebrating in heaven for the last 30 years.
12/4 132.0 It was a good day. Great Greek side salad and 1 beef skewer. 1 skewer of beef “leftover”

12/2 = 173.6 tw 173.6 what the heck? Slept well, shorter walk. Under calories, mostly fruit & veg, needed protein. Slightly stressful day. Bought some new jeans. Don't really like them, but cheap & temporary, so it's OK
12/3 = 173.8 tw 173.7 I have had pain in my stomach since my hysterectomy all day every day, until TODAY i woke up with no pain. Still none 30 minutes later! I don't know what to do, how to act.

I'm joining WAY-late:
- I have my 3rd round of interview for a great job that I'm so excited about. I want to de-bloat ~2# so that I fit into my suit better and face is a bit less puffy.
Thanks for your support!
I need to stay focused.
Going forward, I need to stick with this, so that I don't continue my yoyo-ing of 5-10#.
Being so short, 10# means next size clothes.
12/4M 121.2 ⬇️ debloating
12/5T 120 ⬇️ debloating
De-bloating: one day at a time.
Going well.
Helps that I’m not Late-Night-Snacking again: that’s one of my biggest problems.
So excited for tonight’s dinner:
- I got oxtail and lamb shank from local butcher: YUM!!!
Thanks,
Amanda
