Round 243
Dec 8 – Dec 17, 2023
61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126
Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.
History:Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a DGS, and second GS on the way. We have three parents, 88(father), 86(mother), 84(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse. A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/8 – 127.2 Yesterday was good. I tracked the full day, made good choices, and hit proper numbers. Working on getting my head in place. On a another note, DH spoke with me yesterday about helping him with MFP again once we get through the holidays.
12/9 – 128.0 Scale is being a twit. I feel great today. Yesterday’s pre-tracked lunch plan went to heck when the omelet from the “all day breakfast” turned out to be weekend only. I need to read better. I ended up with a much more caloric buffalo chicken fingers with fries, cole slaw, blue cheese dressing. Those were the best chicken fingers I may have ever had. Skipped the slaw, though I love it. Had seltzer, but the rest got eaten (did skip a FEW fries). Got home. Adjusted my tracking and had a simple salad for dinner, and and evening stella doro “biscuit”. Happy with how I handled the day. Today SHOULD be straightforward, though I don’t have a full plan as yet. But I will track.
12/10 – 128.8 Yup, yesterday started fine, then ended off track and un-tracked. Today will be better.
12/11 – 127.8 So, decent day, though not “officially” tracked like I promised on the day. Just finished entering everything just now, and it was acceptable. Have not figured out my plan for today. I need to get to the grocery store!
12/12 – 128.2 Yes, I should have gone to the grocery store. Still limping along with no food selection in the house, so extra excuses for making bad choices.

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. And, I think it's working.
I need to remember: Enjoy the process. Don't fixate on the outcome. I'm planning on taking a December 31st progress pic of my pants to keep me focused this month and not backslide. I don't need to care what I weigh as long as they still fit and hopefully they'll fit even better.

12/8 133.0 Carb load yesterday as I made ham and beans and cornbread. No TMI in several days. Just keep on keeping on. 95 days until cruise
12/9 133.0 DH kept forgetting to get tickets for the Community Christmas dinner on the 14th. I called yesterday and sales are closed. We’re at the top of the waiting list to see if anyone cancels. Last night we went to see the living nativity at a friend’s church.
12/10 132.0 We went to a new to us Greek restaurant. Half of the plate was Basmati rice, the other half was thin strips of filet mignon and grilled tomato, green pepper and onion. It was delicious. Today we’ll go to Great Greek as we do almost every Sunday. 12/11 132.0 Somehow I managed to not post again yesterday. My eating has been good for the last several days, mainly because I don’t have “illegal” junk available.
12/12 132.0 I need to go shopping so will go while DH is out with our blind friend8 -

12/10 -179.6- (Trend weight 180.7)
12/11 -178.8- (Trend weight 180.6) I did it!!!! I hit a 178 which is my lowest weight in 5 ½ yrs. Now….. I admit that I made it by the skin of my teeth, but I feel like I’ve touched the moon and all other impossible things. I did well on my dietary plan yesterday but I’m still SEVERELY lacking in exercise. I’m still sick (today is day 9) and I’m afraid that I won’t be able to breathe if I try. My exercise bike, if rode casually, is a pretty safe bet. I’ll at least try to get some time on that today. I seriously want to do my walking video, maybe I could try…..
12/12 -178.2- (Trend weight 180.6) I shed so much water yesterday and throughout the night that I wouldn’t be surprised if I am dehydrated. I guess the old ticker finally decided to push it all through. So I’ve had very little sleep last night and the scale is probably falsely down and may show an uptick tomorrow because today will be water, water, water. I am beginning a Christmas wrapping marathon today if all goes well and my water bottle will be near me at all times. I am somewhat better with the respiratory illness, but still not 100%. Definitely dizzy still and coughing. I was too afraid to try to walking video yesterday, afterall. Maybe today?

12/8: 265ish. Had to rush out this morning and forgot to weigh so that's what i weighed yesterday. Lunch will be a protein bar and an apple so tonight might be another whole bag of salad and chicken for dinner. Again, could be worse things.
12/9: 263.6! Almost to the 250s, land of nearly not-uncomfortable plane seats. On certain airlines 😂 Sneaky Xmas shopping today under the guise of grocery shopping.
12/10: 263.4. Hubby made a delicious chicken stir fry with gochujang last night. I could drink gochujang in a shotglass. The kind i bought was pretty low in calories so that might be a possibility. I'm thinking about everything else i could put it on--maybe make beef jerky with it in the Ninja Foodi?
12/11: Holiday party 🍪🥧🥖🧀⛄️🎄 262.8 this morning. Last night I got a wild chocolate craving and finished an entire chocolate bar (supposed to be 3 servings in a bar). It wasn't even a desire to taste chocolate; it was like my chocolate levels were low, like iron or vitamin c, and instead of anemia or scurvy i was in danger of getting whatever you get when your body doesn't have enough chocolate molecules. I guess i better start putting cocoa powder into some capsules and taking two with my breakfast like I do all my other meds 🙃 On another subject, i have figured out a new boundary for myself. Normally for these holiday parties I push myself to outdo last year's effort and make something that people will get people talking. Making food has always been something that I have done well and where i find validation when i am not feeling great in other arenas. It's also kind of my time to shine; for some background, in my professional life I have a raging case of impostor syndrome even though I am a senior member of my staff, and my social life is limited due to various factors, so when a "food event" comes up this is where I feel like I am able to thrive. This was the case with family growing up as well. However. Due to several events over the past year, I decided that not everyone gets my best efforts this year for Xmas. Rather than bringing a side dish and a dessert, I'm bringing chips and dip. I'll still make the dip myself, but they gets none of my casseroles or cakes this year. Which, to be honest--and this sounds pretentious but i am confident enough to be able to say this--this is kind of an act of revenge on some of the people in this group, because I know they're expecting something over the top from me. Tl;dr: I have decided not to overextend myself for people who do not do the same for me/do not take my feelings into consideration (this is related to food because, at least for this party, I am not being driven to make food decisions based on emotional ties to food. Merry Xmas to me 🎄🎉🎁).
12/12: 262.2. Very exciting! This is the goal weight i need to be at the beginning of February to win my Healthy Wage pot. I'm going to keep working at it because I know the holidays are going to have the scale up and down over the next few weeks.

RND 244 - My 1st RND
F, 67, 5’4"
HW-231
UGW-149 - Estimated 07/25/2025
12/8 SW- HW 230 - Day 1 is always easy. (I've had a lot of them.) Day 10; now that will be the challenge.
~ I started a new healthy eating plan today, increasing protein to satisfy my appetite. Logging food and exercise for accountability. I'm six weeks out after my 2nd knee replacement. I have a mini-goal to be a size 14 (now sz 22) by our 50th anniversary Oct '24.
12/9 - HW 231- Day 2 Okay so I did 'almost' everything wrong today.
~ The good - I did do 20 min of exercise upon waking, and I walked 1/2 mile around the grocery store.
The not optimal - I didn't eat breakfast, ate fast food for lunch, and didn't reach my Protein goals.
The great! Tomorrow is another chance to prove to myself I can do this!
My favorite quote: Whatever you are not changing, You are choosing. Read That Again!
12/10 ~230- Day 3 ~ Todays word is Consistency
~ Today was a milestone in my knee recovery. I walked my first full mile around the neighborhood. It was difficult and painful, (we live on a hill with 5% to 16% grades), I'm sure I'll feel it tomorrow. 1.16 miles in 38 minutes. I also logged every morsel that went into my mouth and met my protein goal with a few calories in the bank. Yes!!!
12/11 ~ 229 - Day 4 ~ What the heck?
~ Today was a struggle with food, ugh! I woke up late, had a cup of coffee, and didn't think about food until 2p when I couldn't find anything that sounded good. So brilliant choice (not) I scarfed down two hot dogs with buns. Didn't enjoy it when I ate it and 3 hours later was still wondering why. So, started logging my food and realized I was not going to meet my protein needs. Ended up eating yogurt with extra protein for dinner and peanut butter on an English muffin for a snack and I saved the day. Wow.
12/12 ~ 227.8 - Day 5 ~ 'Cup of Joe'
~ What to say about today. My 1st day back to work after 6 weeks of medical leave for the knee. I work at home on a computer and didn't think it would be difficult to jump back in. What I found; sitting in an office chair for nine hours is hard. I had to set a timer to get up and climb a flight of stairs every hour or my knee would lock up. Mental work is exhausting. Eating well and getting enough water is difficult. Using a 'cup of joe' to stay alert is not a good idea. And I need to find a way to fit in more exercise. Mini-change for min-results add up.

Yesterday I wore myself out playing a competitive 🎾match & then doing 35 min 🏋️♀️at my newly found personal treasure Island/gym. I’m very comfortable there! The weight room was filled with peeps, but only three in the 🏀gym … I had a hair appointment later and actually had time to walk there and back (3 mile round trip) but opted out- (didn’t want to push it too much after nursing a stone bruise & a strained lower back for several days). Is there REALLY a true need for walking even more after my full/intense work-out? I was able to reach my other 💗Z goals. I give myself a 🙌🏻yesterday!
Today :💗Z2 & 🤸🏼.
Family holiday dinner this evening at a favorite restaurant. I’ve determined my order & will plan accordingly today!💪🏻

12/8 Yesterday - Good day but no real activity due to unforeseen meetings. ✅macros & 1443 cal. 🚶♀️5.6k.
Im noting I’m loosing some commitment to workout. This is a WARNING ⚠️ SIGN!! Cold weather does a number on me. Must move ONWARD no matter my “feelings”.
NSV: I’ve tracked 150 days in a row!! Staying mindful.
12/9 ⚖️. 131.4 I won’t pretend like that weight didn’t bother the hell out of me-for about THREE MINUTES… I was 100% on plan yesterday and ate under goal. The NSV? ⚖️won’t ruin my day… So…. Let’s stick with my continued commitment to weigh every day and see just how my scale swings… To really know my body and its fluctuations is to love my body-RIGHT?! I know I’m following the process, so I won’t be deterred… ! (But gosh… I do hate that scale… I do I do I do!)
✅macros & cal 1290, 🚶♀️3.1k, 🏋️♀️15 min, 💗Z2 - 12 min, 🔥42 active cal
Movement yesterday was cut short because I strained my back ST 🏋️♀️early in morn. (I did not properly warm-up!) But that 15 minutes was awesome! Therefore, I really couldn’t exercise, so I decided to limit my cal. I will be active today -back is good and my foot feels 💯!
12/10 ⚖️ 130.0lbs
Yesterday: ✅macros & 1744 cal , 125 ex min including 45min 💗Z2. ✅🏋️♀️20 min, 🔥570 total cal. 🚶♀️11.2k.
Nice walk. Solid 🏋️♀️. Enjoyed taking my DGS Christmas shopping.
Worked on developing a fully integrated/documented fitness routine - was to begin 1/1/24 (hard scheduled). But…. WILL START TODAY! Why put it off? Will do measurements today and head to the gym. (I just made a fresh commitment to myself!)
"Just like delayed gratification, outcomes and results are a lagging measure of really good daily habits." James Clear
12/11 ⚖️ 129.8lbs
Yesterday: ✅macros & 1440 cal , 80 ex min including 71 min 💗Z2. ✅🏋️♀️20 min, 🔥493 total cal. 🔥🚶♀️11.5k.
Gorgeous day! Nice walk. Good 🏋️♀️. NSV: So darn glad I woke up fresh and positive (no 🎄party!)
💡 I’m learning the scale doesn’t have as much of a grip on me during maintenance vs when I was in weight-loss mode. In maintenance I expect the fluctuations… But for some reason not so much during weight loss phase. (But obviously, I KNOW that’s not true!) So far so good - I’ve stayed on my plan so I don’t expect too much of a fluctuation & MAYBE ⚖️ everyday is a good thing for me in this time period. (increased ST 🏋️♀️to maintain/build muscle…) Let’s see how the scale reflects what’s happening in my body. The good thing is my mood is no longer ever-changing or riding on the 🎢.
12/12 ⚖️ 131.8 lbs
Yesterday: ✅macros & 1406 cal, 🚫ZERO ex min including ZERO min 💗Z2. 🚫🏋️♀️ZERO min, 🚫🔥ZERO total cal. 🚶♀️2.5k.
Started out positive: planning my exercises for day (took all my measurements for a starting point) then I became 💯distracted…. ALL DAY on another project that came out of nowhere. ⚠️Warning ⚠️ I am definitely prone to distractions😳
I WILL stick to my plans today!
NSV: Kept true to measuring, calories, macros & tracking.
131.8 lbs 🎢 ? I do feel “heavy” this morning…. I’ve been averaging 1450 cal /day so I don’t think it’s REAL weight … , maybe my body fluctuates 2 to 3lbs vs less than that? …. Learning.

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!!!!

/logged it all; walked/
The damage from the Christmas open house last night should be minimal. I was able to engage with people more than the buffet. My overall calorie budget for the day was just barely broken, but the sodium budget was shattered.
After that I attended my DGS Christmas program at school. Did I mention that I also have a new DGD, born 17 days ago?
I have an upcoming beach vacation. I need to lose some inches around the waist so people will not try to roll me back into the ocean to save my life. That’s annoying 😊
12/9: 223.8
/yes, every bite; group fitness class/
I consider it a victory that my scale reading stayed level after that salted-calorie-festival of a diet yesterday. All I can say is, it would have been worse had it not been for food logging on the MFP app.
Thanks to those who had kind words about my return. I have been participating in this challenge off and on since 2019, with great results when I pay attention.
12/10: 225.8
/food logged; walked/
This jump up has to be water retention from sodium. (Combined with some catch-up from Friday.) My calorie count has been good.
12/11: 225.4
/logged; a few floor exercises…/
Mostly sitting yesterday. Church, football on television (for my European friends, I don’t mean soccer.)
Oh, and TMI is real.
12/12: 224.2
/yes; yes. Group exercise/
Been having trouble sleeping through the night. I basically just get up at 4:00AM after tossing and turning for an hour. I don’t drink caffeine after lunch. I wonder if I should just kick caffeine altogether, but I do love my morning cup of Joe. I need to switch it up somehow.
12/7: 223.2
Starting weight at end of last round.
12/13: 224
/yes, but way over; no/
Yesterday was so busy I didn’t even think about exercise.
That was a lie.
The truth is, exercise is such an anomaly in my life lately that I didn’t even think about exercise.
The truth is, I was busy shoving high carbs into my cake hole all day. I invited and logged 193 of those bad boys yesterday. Key word: invited.
No hugs please. I wish there was a “slap” button you could use. 😊

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.10 -
@_JeffreyD_ Ya, I "invited" Ben and Jerry over for dinner last night...... Trying to hang on until the New Year when I will snowbird in the Keys and have consistent "me" time to reset.
@CamandJarvis Sorry about your dad's dad and dog. I never understand "disowning". So sorry. I do find your concept of low carb every other day intriguing. Since I will be helping DH to get back on track, that might be a suggestion that could work for him. Maybe? he could never do low carb every day. He just won't. There would have to be a medical reason to force him into that.6 -

61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126
Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.
History:Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a DGS, and second GS on the way. We have three parents, 88(father), 86(mother), 84(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse. A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

SW: 129.0
Day/Weight/Comment
12/8 – 127.2 Yesterday was good. I tracked the full day, made good choices, and hit proper numbers. Working on getting my head in place. On a another note, DH spoke with me yesterday about helping him with MFP again once we get through the holidays.
12/9 – 128.0 Scale is being a twit. I feel great today. Yesterday’s pre-tracked lunch plan went to heck when the omelet from the “all day breakfast” turned out to be weekend only. I need to read better. I ended up with a much more caloric buffalo chicken fingers with fries, cole slaw, blue cheese dressing. Those were the best chicken fingers I may have ever had. Skipped the slaw, though I love it. Had seltzer, but the rest got eaten (did skip a FEW fries). Got home. Adjusted my tracking and had a simple salad for dinner, and and evening stella doro “biscuit”. Happy with how I handled the day. Today SHOULD be straightforward, though I don’t have a full plan as yet. But I will track.
12/10 – 128.8 Yup, yesterday started fine, then ended off track and un-tracked. Today will be better.
12/11 – 127.8 So, decent day, though not “officially” tracked like I promised on the day. Just finished entering everything just now, and it was acceptable. Have not figured out my plan for today. I need to get to the grocery store!
12/12 – 128.2 Yes, I should have gone to the grocery store. Still limping along with no food selection in the house, so extra excuses for making bad choices.
12/13 – 128.6 So I am now realizing that I just need to hang on the best I can for this round and the next. If I can lose a little, great. At worse, I just do not want to go up further. Have to hang on until I can truly refocus again. I am just juggling too many balls at the moment to do ANYTHING well.

I'm Julie. 35 years old. SAHM to 2 year old twins. 5'3.
Ultimate goal: 125
SW RND 244: 137.7
12/8: 137.3. I've been really tired lately because one of my boys has been having a hard time with sleeping. So I haven't been going to the gym as much as I should, skipped it yesterday so I could get some extra sleep. My food has been good. I've really been enjoying OMAD. It's easier to refrain from snacking if I just tell myself "it's not my eating time right now. I'm a bit disappointed that my weight isn't following suit, I'm still counting calories and staying under my goal.
12/9: 137.1. Still holding on to some PMS bloat. I wasn't able to go the gym because we took away pacifiers from our boys. I usually go when they're in bed, but didn't feel like I should leave my husband alone to deal with the angry boys. It took them over an hour to cry themselves to sleep
It really broke my heart. Food wise, it was okay. It's never perfect on my husband's days off of work. Today probably won't be too great either.
12/10: 137.5. I'm honestly surprised it's not higher. I did not stick to OMAD yesterday and portion sizes were a bit larger than they needed to be. Didn't go to the gym again last night, as were still adjusting to the boys not having their binkies and I wanted to be home for it.
12/11: 136.9. still higher than I would like, but at least it's going down. I have to get back to the gym soon, and back to running. I have a 10k race next month and can't take too much time off of training. And I feel better when I run. Food was okay, not the best use of calorie but was under at least. Didn't quite stick to OMAD, so that's my goal for today.
12/12: 137.1. I didn't get to the gym last night, still dealing with the binkies situation. I ate okay, apart from some ice cream I had. I tried to limit the portion size though.
12/13: 136.6. I'm just not very motivated right now. I think going so long without seeing any permanent changes has got to me. Why bother if I don't see results? I had ice cream again yesterday (too much to be honest). I went for a short walk, but no real exercise. I've decided Ill take the rest of the week off from the gym and get back to it this weekend. No reason other than I just don't want to right now. I'm sorry for the not-so-uplifting post.

Just a quick drive-by with an update.
My 3rd round 12/8F 4hrs, 9 separate people interview went well.
Just learned that they want me back for a 4th round "case study" interview.
I'm still tired from my 3rd round.
==>> If anyone is familiar and has tips for Program Management "case study" interview, I could really use some help. I've never done this type of interview.

I either drop 5# in the next 10 days to fit into my blue corporate suit.
Or I'm fine now fitting into my RED power blazer.
Thanks for all your positive vibes!

SW RND 244 132.0
12/8 133.0 Carb load yesterday as I made ham and beans and cornbread. No TMI in several days. Just keep on keeping on. 95 days until cruise
12/9 133.0 DH kept forgetting to get tickets for the Community Christmas dinner on the 14th. I called yesterday and sales are closed. We’re at the top of the waiting list to see if anyone cancels. Last night we went to see the living nativity at a friend’s church.
12/10 132.0 We went to a new to us Greek restaurant. Half of the plate was Basmati rice, the other half was thin strips of filet mignon and grilled tomato, green pepper and onion. It was delicious. Today we’ll go to Great Greek as we do almost every Sunday. 12/11 132.0 Somehow I managed to not post again yesterday. My eating has been good for the last several days, mainly because I don’t have “illegal” junk available.
12/12 132.0 I need to go shopping so will go while DH is out with our blind friend.
12/13 131.0 Just because my husband gets something to eat doesn’t mean I do! This new (lack of) schedule is taking some getting used to. As board president he is going to most committee meetings just to see how they all function.8 -

R144 I’m taking a break from weighing or tracking food the next two rounds, but will check in nonetheless because I enjoy reading your posts. 😊 I’ll probably return to normal programming in round 246. I had hoped to end the year no higher than 2022, but at this point that seems unlikely, so I’m working on accepting that I’ve gained weight this year, not beating myself up, and getting back on track.

Good morning! My morning schedule has switched around a bit and I forgot to check in the past couple of days. As planned, I'm not weighing this round and am not tracking food except in my head. So far, I feel slightly less obsessed. 🤪 Now to read through all your inspiring posts from the past two days!

Meeting my “Monday lunch” friend for—surprise!—lunch today. We often go to a diner that has great breakfasts. I’m planning just eggs and bacon. 🥚🍽️☕️

Obedience Training Club 🐾🐶🍰🥧🐩 Holiday Party tonight. There’s always an embarrassment of food at these, and I’ve been thinking strategy. If I eat very little during the day and go hungry, knowing my calories are low, I’ll have “permission” to eat more. So I’ve decided to eat a responsible lunch, then have small to sensible portions and not double up on things (I don’t need to sample two cheesy potatoes and a Mac & cheese!), and focus on the nearly naked salads & veggies. And I’ll get “mouthful” servings of the 3 best-looking desserts and leave it there. Shouldn’t cause too much damage. I get to wear my new Christmas sweater—can’t remember if I showed it to you when I finished it, so here it is (possibly again 😊). Sorry it’s so big — there doesn’t seem to be a way to change that anymore.
