Day/Weight/Comment
12/17 …..178.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

12/18 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) After the handymen left yesterday and we agreed upon a price for the newest project, I had to travel 200 miles each way to pick up some special supplies for the project. It was an unexpected trip. So I was sitting in the car most of the day, eating my main meal at a restaurant, missing most of my water and feeling like a beached whale most of the day. No point in weighing the obvious, especially when it’s been two days in a row off plan and with very little to no exercise. I’ll hop back on the scale tomorrow or the next day. We’ll see how tight my rings feel. Today has GOT to be a good day with no surprises! The small project begins today and should only take 3 or 4 days. Being at home is a good thing…….But I do have to start my baking soon. Very soon. After all, I am the grandma, or “Nana” as most of them call me. Good luck this round, my friends. It is definitely the hardest round of the year for most. Let’s just do as good as we can, when we can but always carry a joy, a peace and a light in our hearts and lives.

12/19 -179.2- (Trend weight 179.7) I decided to go ahead and step on the scale today for an early weigh-in. Not real happy to be typing my weight in blue but it is what it is. I should be home for the next day or two because of my handyman being here for the project. Home is my safe zone where I can better control the food and the ingredients so I should be okay. However, I’ve got to start the baking and fudge-making at some point and the BLT’s (bites, licks and tastes) can really add up. Oh, ‘Tis the Season.

Day, Weight, Comment

12/18 - DNW
Found out yesterday my BFF has Covid. She started feeling sick on Sat., and we spent a few hours together knitting on Fri. She was vaccinated , but hadn’t yet gotten this fall’s booster addressing new strains. 😢 I’m vaccinated and boosted, so hopefully I’ll be ok. Someone sitting across from her at the party last Wed. wasn’t feeling well so we suspect that’s where she got it. Why do people go to events when they’re sick? Yeesh. Anyway, I guess I’ll be a homebody for a few days so I don’t pass anything on. That’s ok. I need to do some serious cleaning, and I finished knitting a sweater last night so need to finish and wash it and DH’s Christmas sweater. I’ll be hiding in my office for that one! 🙂 I’m still not weighing or tracking, and I think I’m doing ok. This break is giving me time to really think about what I want to keep in my food world and what I want to let go. I feel way too heavy, but with this little break, I also feel a bit more hopeful about a new start and better results.

12/19 - 😳
I “unofficially” weighed myself this morning. I’m not reporting the results here, but as I suspected, I’m too heavy. It’s ok, though, since I’m on my little break. I just wanted a little feedback. I’ve been thinking a lot about what changes I’ll make when I get back at it. As I’ve mentioned, DH does a lot of the cooking here and is a big pasta fan, but I know it’s not great for me, so I’m going to stock up on proteins I can make for myself when he’s having pasta pasta pasta (unless I can have mine with lentil pasta). Also going to limit my bread to 2 thin-sliced pieces a day. I do like sandwiches for lunch. I’m going to focus on non-starchy veggies and lean proteins, and a semi-Mediterranean plan. But not yet. After Christmas. If I try to start to limit things now, I’ll fail, and that won’t help me stick to anything except more of the same. So this is my little in-between reset window. On other fronts (though, I believe, related to my eating), I did a lot of cleaning yesterday and finished the sweater I was working on. I hope you don’t mind, but I’m sharing this one, too, because I love the beautiful tweedy yarn!

@SheilaBoneham That yarn is very interesting! And the sweater is beautiful. If I saw it, I would probably have to buy some of that yarn but in a different color. Then I would have to just admire the yarn because I’m not a knitter!

@Cchassee I thought the same of faster. I have to say that, in my case, it is a head game. I feel so ‘accomplished’ when I plan it and stick to it.

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

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

(Su•60g Prot; 48ozs water) I have not been weighing myself. Mainly because I don't think about it until after I've eaten. When I do step on the scale, I won't be surprised if it reads over 200lbs again and I wont be angry with myself. I still have some underlying stress, but it is subsiding now and my appetite is moving away from eating "foods" that are detrimental to me.

I'm Julie. 35 years old. Married. SAHM to two year old twins.

SW RND 245: 135.6 (end of last round).

12/18: 136.1. Oops, not starting off in the right direction. I started baking the Christmas cookies. I may have sampled a few too many. I also didn't go to the gym because my husband worked late. I went for a short walk, but nothing big.

12/19: 139.1. Holiday eating has arrived. Baked more Christmas cookies. I know I didn't gain 3 pounds of fat over night. I'm not going to stress about it until after Christmas. I'll be up some, but no real damage I won't be able to undo in the next round.

I’m a 65 year young gal working on getting rid of those last 8 pounds. Last go-around I managed to stay mostly in the 137 range, but bounced back into the 138’s for the final weigh in. This round I would like to flirt with the 136 number, even if I end in the 137’s. Here we go! We got this!

@SheilaBoneham That yarn is very interesting! And the sweater is beautiful. If I saw it, I would probably have to buy some of that yarn but in a different color. Then I would have to just admire the yarn because I’m not a knitter!

@Cchassee I thought the same of faster. I have to say that, in my case, it is a head game. I feel so ‘accomplished’ when I plan it and stick to it.

Yes. Fasting. It’s a power head/mind-game! I’m doing it to “see if I can” and to reset my metabolism. 42 hrs in. Let’s go!!🙌🏻💪🏻

Just trying to be healthy. Weight loss is an extra bonus.

Eventual weight goal = 164

12/18 - 174.8. I can't believe we're even posting on a weight loss site on Christmas week! I'm gonna treat myself to one full cupcake, donut, big cookie, or ? As soon as I decide which one. Other than that, my Christmas extras will be mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, lots of French fried onions straight from the bag while I'm making the green bean casserole. Hopefully I won't backslide much. Just 10 more pounds. I know I can. I know I can.

12/19 - 174.4 ate well, slightly over goal, no walk, slept 8+hours

lindsaysrat · December 2023

My round 3!

5'9 F

I'm starting to learn that my loss will be quite slow. For reference, my senior year of HS I went from 185 to ~165 in about 3 months. I wasn't working out at the time so it was all diet. I maintained this weight +/- a few pounds during college just due to the amount of walking required daily (easily 12k+).

After graduating I've fluctuated a bit, but starting senior year of college I became very consistent at the gym doing weights. 5+ years later I've now gained a lot more muscle so naturally my weight has increased. My 185 now looks a lot different than 10 years ago, but I could still stand to lose some excess fat.

It seems to be a much slower journey and I'm not really sure what my end goal weight should be exactly, but I think these 10 day rounds help me accept the small wins and focus on the journey instead of hoping for a big loss like 20lbs again (which may or may not happen)

@quiltingjaine I know what you mean—I used to covet yarns long before I started knitting 8 or so years ago!

Day, Weight, Comment

12/18 - DNW
Found out yesterday my BFF has Covid. She started feeling sick on Sat., and we spent a few hours together knitting on Fri. She was vaccinated , but hadn’t yet gotten this fall’s booster addressing new strains. 😢 I’m vaccinated and boosted, so hopefully I’ll be ok. Someone sitting across from her at the party last Wed. wasn’t feeling well so we suspect that’s where she got it. Why do people go to events when they’re sick? Yeesh. Anyway, I guess I’ll be a homebody for a few days so I don’t pass anything on. That’s ok. I need to do some serious cleaning, and I finished knitting a sweater last night so need to finish and wash it and DH’s Christmas sweater. I’ll be hiding in my office for that one! 🙂 I’m still not weighing or tracking, and I think I’m doing ok. This break is giving me time to really think about what I want to keep in my food world and what I want to let go. I feel way too heavy, but with this little break, I also feel a bit more hopeful about a new start and better results.

12/19 - 😳
I “unofficially” weighed myself this morning. I’m not reporting the results here, but as I suspected, I’m too heavy. It’s ok, though, since I’m on my little break. I just wanted a little feedback. I’ve been thinking a lot about what changes I’ll make when I get back at it. As I’ve mentioned, DH does a lot of the cooking here and is a big pasta fan, but I know it’s not great for me, so I’m going to stock up on proteins I can make for myself when he’s having pasta pasta pasta (unless I can have mine with lentil pasta). Also going to limit my bread to 2 thin-sliced pieces a day. I do like sandwiches for lunch. I’m going to focus on non-starchy veggies and lean proteins, and a semi-Mediterranean plan. But not yet. After Christmas. If I try to start to limit things now, I’ll fail, and that won’t help me stick to anything except more of the same. So this is my little in-between reset window. On other fronts (though, I believe, related to my eating), I did a lot of cleaning yesterday and finished the sweater I was working on. I hope you don’t mind, but I’m sharing this one, too, because I love the beautiful tweedy yarn!

One more work day until vacation. The family are getting the holiday snack attacks and asking for me to make treats. I am proud of being able to have a serving and leave it alone on the last batch i made 🏆With just another week till Xmas I'm going to do my best this round to eat well until Xmas Eve-Eve. After that, pray for me 😂 I am planning to do the same as Thanksgiving and have a non-traditional meal that won't be hanging around the house for days. I'm not terribly worried about having some extra calories around the holidays and am pretty confident i will meet my HealthyWage goal, although the timing of the end of the challenge is raising the stakes a little.

12/19: Ok but why did the scale say 265 today? I'm keeping on keeping on but I really need the scale to go in the other direction, please. Vacation is on like Simon LeBon 🎉 Got some walking in today and planning to walk as much as possible over the holidays. Even if I'm getting more treats than usual, they will ultimately be less of an impact on my calorie counting if I take a walk than if I don't.
