    Hello, I’m Jill. 🥰I’m 53, 5’7” and I live in Michigan.

    My goals for December🎄 :
    ⚖️Weigh- in daily
    📝Log daily
    🙆‍♀️Stretch daily/ Move daily
    Get back down to under 200 pounds

    Starting weight January 1st: 224.5
    January weight lost: 7.7 pounds
    February weight lost: 5 pounds
    March weight lost: 6 pounds
    April weight lost: 6.5 pounds
    May weight lost: 2.6 pounds
    June weight lost: 1.6 pounds
    July weight lost: 1.3 pounds
    August weight lost: up 1 pound
    September weight loss: 1.8 pounds
    October weight loss: up 3.1 pounds
    November weight loss: up .6 pounds

    🎄December:
    1: 203.4– Time to get all gears going. I’ve been really good getting on the scale everyday, but I have a hard time with consistent logging.
    I’ve noticed that it’s easier on the computer than the phone, so my goal for December is to log every day.

    2: 203.5– logged for breakfast… it’s the very beginning of getting back into logging, so I’ll take that as a win. Baby steps.

    3: 201.6 not sure what happened… but I’ll take it. I weigh myself 4x then take the average… so we’ll see what happens tomorrow.

    4: 203.6–there is the bounce back. It’s all good though. Taking carrots to work as my crunchy snack today, along with soup and salad. My goal is to log everything today. Happy Monday!

    5: 201.3 I logged everything and it felt great!
    Let go for 2 in a row.

    6: 202.3 Day 2 of logging is complete! Let’s do 3!

    7: 202.5 Day 3 complete. It wasn't pretty but it was logged! Day 1 of exercise. Up to the Beat fitness by Gina B on YouTube is my go to exercise.

    8: 202.6 Day 4 of logging and day 2 of exercise. Starting healthy routines for 2024 now. Now to get my snacking under control!😉

    9: 202.8 Day 5 of logging and my snack monster 👿 is in overdrive… fighting the logging…but I know this is what I need to do to get and stay below 200 pounds. It takes me a good month to get everything in sync… logging, staying at or below calories, and exercise. December won’t be pretty, but I’m happy to be creating healthy routines.

    10: 202.5 Day 6 of logging.

    11: 203.6 Day 7 of logging. Lots of salty foods yesterday. Time to whip up a big salad for lunch… and take some clementines.
    Finished up Christmas decorating with the family last night.

    12: 203.6 Day 8 of logging and trying to let go of guilt with snacking. Setting up healthy habits for 2024.

    13: 203.8 Day 9 of logging and as you can see, my brain is fighting it. I need to start listening harder to my stomach instead of my brain when it comes to food. Working on getting it back into check. All part of the process.

    I will be posting the 🌺🌼2024–52 Week Challenge🌼🌺 New Year/Healthier You challenge closer to January along with our continued monthly challenges. I’m so happy you’re all on board for 2024!

    14: 205 😔 My husband tested positive for Covid yesterday. His las Covid booster was around Halloween this year so we’re hoping it’s mild. The kids and I all tested negative.

    15: 203.1 hanging in there!
    16: 202.3 Coming to the realization that…”I eat to live and not live to eat”. I deserve to heat things that will help me get healthier and not the junk that bogs me down.

    17: 201.6 🎄
    18: 201.8 Holding steady with weight. It's amazing what you can do when you log! Slowly getting back into it.
    19: 201.7
    20: 202.7… too many Christmas cookies. Got my fill yesterday. Only 5 days until Christmas. Finishing up wrapping today then making soup.
    21: 203.7 … good soup and white chicken chili was made. I’ve realized that I can’t stop at just one cookie or just one potato chip. I like to think I can, but I can’t… and self- realization is part of this whole journey. Back to work today.

    22: 203.4… I’m back to my December 1st weight. I’d like to finish the year under that.

    23: DNW
    24: 203.2 Merry Christmas Eve!
    25: 204.6 Merry Christmas!!!
    26: 204.5 Hope everyone had a nice holiday!
    27: 205.6
    28: 205.2
    29: 204.4
    30: 203.7
    31: 205.8 Happy New Year's Eve!

    We've all made it to the end of the year! I am so proud of all of us. :)

    I'm down 18.7 pounds for the year and I am very happy! I did reach my goal of getting below 200 pounds...I didn't hang out there for long...but I did reach the goal...and I didn't yo-yo as much as I did the year before.

    I'm excited about 2024...New year/Healthier you!
    I look forward to all of the updates and encouragement along to way.

    Cheers to 2024!

    Jill

    @deepwoodslady Oh no! Perhaps you could donate it? If it were me - I wouldn't keep it. I know myself way to well, it wouldn't end pretty. Your daughter may not appreciate it, but at the same time might finally realize that you mean business. Sending hugs your way.

    2023 reflection - so many trials and heartbreaks this past year. I started typing everything out, and it's just too much to not only burden this group with but to darken this night that I want to find hope and joy in for the New Year. So cheers to the start of a an amazing New Year!

    I am a 46 year-old married mom of four, 2x cancer survivor with Hypothyroidism who is trying again to start exercising WITHOUT injuring myself, log daily, drink more water, and creating some new routines this month while starting my new job - yeah!

    Habit Goals for the Month to drop into the 170's:
    🪵 = Log
    🍽️ = Hit Calorie Goal
    🧘 = Stretch/PT
    🏃‍♀️= Cardio
    💧= Hit Water Goal

    12/01: 182.3 🪵🧘
    12/02: 181.7
    12/03: Stomach bug
    12/04: Stomach bug
    12/05: Stomach bug
    12/06: 179.5 - rehydrate day
    12/07: 181.5 🪵🍽️💧
    12/08: 179.8 🪵🍽️
    12/09: DNW 🪵
    12/10: 180.3
    12/11: 180.8 - Need to focus on w/e
    12/12: 179.8 - Not feeling well again.
    12/14: 178.8
    12/15: 180.1
    12/16: 180.3
    12/17 - DNW - Covid booster.
    12/18: 180.6
    12/19: 181.9 - Been eating to deal with my emotions and it's caught up with me.
    12/20: 181.4 - Trying to reel myself back in. Tomorrow is my ten year-old's oral surgery to extract a supernumerary tooth and attach a chain to slowly pull the adult tooth into position. It will be the first time of her having general anesthesia. I'm a bit of an anxious momma tonight.
    12/21: DNW
    12/22: DNW
    12/23: 184.3 - My daughter's surgery went well and her recovery so far as well. I'm totally off any kind of routine and have been eating and drinking whatever is easiest and most convenient. So while I am not surprised by this number, I am discouraged at the moment.
    12/24: DNW
    12/25: 183.9 - I'm just gonna enjoy the goodness today! Happy Holidays, Everyone!
    12/26: 182.5
    12/27: 182.3
    12/28: 181.7
    12/29: DNW
    12/30: 180.6 - probably dehydrated, as I have been hyperfocused at work.
    12/31: 182.3 - expected this.
