@deepwoodslady I might be alone here, but I say give it back “RETURN TO SENDER” or throw it away. Seriously. What kind of passive aggressive gesture is that? It’s similar to someone giving a fifth of vodka to a recovering alcoholic.WTF? (I can’t bring myself to write WTH because it definitely qualifies for WTF?! ) Give it back to her… And ask her to “keep it in safekeeping” for you both to enjoy a small bite whenever she visits… Just tell her you don’t trust yourself to keep it in the house because you are determined to move forward in 2024! Did she buy a present for herself? please please please get it out of your house and you will be so proud that you did! Self-care is the best care! ❤️🥰😘
I think this is excellent advice, maybe it will make her think? I know it is hard to do with our loved ones, but maybe she will realise she has gone a step too far this time?3 -
65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 246 (my 176th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, as always, so grateful.
Goals for this round to, get strong again over the 'twixt' period, holiday abroad (9 days!).Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, it’s taken me 75 rounds to achieve target of 130 = back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

Day, Weight, Comment
SW DNW
RND 246
12/28 DNW - no structured walking yesterday, atrocious weather; persistent rain and high winds, 377 calories over.
12/29 DNW – no structured walking, weather still awful ☹☹☹.
12/30 140.4 – very pleased with this number, travelled back home – on the back of a recovery truck ☹, brakes failed despite the car being in the garage for them to be done just 2 weeks ago, It was taken to a garage in the next town to have the independent investigation done on why this has happened, had to wait for a courtesy car, such a long day with all the waiting around for breakdown truck etc., that went to bed early without eating any tea as I was shattered!! No structured walking 202 calories in deficit.
12/31 140.4 – glad the number stuck, 4.44 miles walked, all exercise calories plus 62 eaten back.
1/1 HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎆 140.8 – 11.43 miles walked, all calories eaten back. Hope you all enjoy/ed your celebrations, we danced the night away into the early hours, such a good night with like-minded company, feet are a little achy, but the great satisfaction overshadows that!!
I didn’t meet my mileage goal last year, no excuses here, I average 7.73 miles per day, will try to meet it again this year !!

RND 246, my RND 2:
SW: 147.6
12/28: 147.6 (estimated- will weigh tomorrow AM. Added 1 lb from last challenge)
12/29: 146.6 actual! I managed to hold steady through Christmas! And I got on the scale! And that after going to a friend's home for dinner last night, which is difficult to break down. Small step forward, all downward from here...
12/30: 145.2- stomach issue, I was on BRAT yesterday, this probably won't stick...
12/31: 145.2 held steady even with family party. Body Pump this AM.
1/1: 146.2- no surprise, with my daughter and her family to play games for NYE; lots of snack foods for "dinner". I'm here and I weighed! I took "before" photos, which I'll do once a month.

SW 164.6 RND 246
12/28 - 164.6 – good day logging, under my calorie goal and managed to work out (30 min walk, 20 min stretch) even though I wasn’t feeling it. Even hit my macros. Subbed cotton candy grapes for dessert and it was filling and delicious!
12/29 – 164.4 - Everything logged the best I could. Went on a 3.2 mile hike with the family. Slow but steady. Under calories met macros, met step goal, drank a lot of water. 11,000 steps
12/30 – 163.1 – date night, made it to gym class, first green smoothie (lemon not my fav), happy to have stayed under calorie and been able to splurge in what I was eating at the same time! 10,000 steps
12/31- 163.1 – weightlifted, very proud of the gains I have made in strength even though I’m still much weaker than I have been in the past, water intake was good, calories weren’t bad, squeaked in under total, green smoothie success, my phone died so I’m not sure on steps overall but it was over 8,000
1/1 HAPPY NEW YEAR – 163.4 – Not bad after celebrating, goals, kickboxing, hike with family, get my water in, meal plan and freeze some breakfasts for the start of school, take measurements to track

I'm Julie. 35 years old. SAHM to two year old twins.
SW RND 246: 137.2
12/28: 134.8. I did it! I finally went back to the gym and ran 3 miles. Not a ton, but happy to get started after taking most of the month off.
12/29: 135.3. I ran 4 miles yesterday. It feels good to be running again. Food was okay- not great choices but somewhat low quantity. I haven't started tracking calories again, that's probably going to happen in the New Year.
12/30: 134.7. I did another 4 mile run yesterday, but that was all. No walks or anything else active. Again, food was okay, but not great choices.
12/31: 137.1. I had a few beers and wings yesterday, so I was expecting an increase in weight. Also, no exercise. I just had a lazy day since my kids were at my mom's.
1/1 HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎆: 137.8. Must have a lot of water weight. I ran 6 miles yesterday and am a little sore from it. I also drank more water than usual. I ate well, possibly a bit high on sodium, but nothing crazy.

Yesterday: ✅macros & 2021 cal,🚶♀️11.2k, 144 ex min, 🔥1067 ex cal, 💗Z2 43 min,🏋️♀️30 min
Yesterday: Early 🎾fun - some 💗Z2. Had to force myself to 🏋️♀️after… I always come up with so many excuses… Of course, I felt terrific when I checked-off that commitment. Short on steps so walked again in afternoon. Had 🥩 for lunch and chuck burger for dinner (No bread). (Much more than I usually eat - hungry from extended workout.)
Today: ?🚶♀️🤸🏼🎾 Holiday dinner tonight with friends. Thinking about a water/black coffee fast starting tonight leading up to InBody 12/30 @9AM. Really want to get back to ketosis. Researched: one 24 hr fast per wk. Then one 48 or 72hr fast every three months ... no more than that. Seems radical but based on solid science. Thinking on it.
12/29 ⚖️ 130.6
Yesterday: ✅macros & 1496 cal,🚶♀️14.9k, 97 ex min, 🔥520 ex cal, 💗Z2 - 81min
12/29. *** The positive energy from choosing discipline, embracing my plan & respecting the goals that I claimed for myself (yes me & no one else) is FAR FAR better than a fleeting, momentary tastebud party or “high” derived from rat poison carbs or piddling and waisting the entire day. *** repeating this to myself over & over because I had to coerce myself to walk yesterday … Why?!
Today: 🚶♀️🏋️♀️? I may not get to exercise today, because I have to deal with car troubles again… water/coffee fast until InBody tomorrow 9AM.

⚖️ 131.0 is real. Sure hope it’s added muscle? Zero 🚫 day. Did it even happen? Did not accomplish anything except sat in car dealership for hrs. Fasted until 3 PM then opted for eggs. Light dinner but loaded with rat poison. Feel like a deadbeat loafer. Sabotage much?!?!?!! Good 💦. InBody @ 10am. Will post tomorrow.
12/31 ⚖️ 131.0
Yesterday: ✅macros & 1701 cal,🚶♀️4.3k, 38 ex min, 🔥270 ex cal, 💗Z2 - 15 min
12/31 Yesterdays “InBody” threw me for a loop… it’s ultra sensitive so Im somewhat skeptical (timing of 💦/dietary/TMI fluctuations). Need to measure once a month for six months to get a truly solid reading. Results: I still need to +3.1 muscle & -2.3 fat… (Which basically says I accomplished NOTHING for two months!) I lost 2.5lbs but the majority of it was muscle & gained fat. YIKES! Skeptical of scan results because I know I’m stronger… I definitely need to add more muscle & lose fat - the exact amount is ? at this point… confirms I’m simply not spending enough time in the gym. Also confirms that 130-132lbs is realistic maintenance for me … not below 130. The end result : I will build muscle, eat healthy & stay committed. This is very hard stuff. Onward. Focus on 🏋️♀️🏋️♀️🏋️♀️.

Health Journey
****************
1990 (Age 32) - Avg. 135 lbs
2001 (Age 43) - Avg 145 lbs
2010 (Age 52) HW 172 lbs
UGW = 130lbs (ceiling)
Aug 14, 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 remained @ 128-132lbs through the end of 2020. Five years!
🎢 Roller Coaster Begins….
2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140 lbs.
8/1/ 2022 crept up to 142lbs.
Dropped to 128lbs again by 9/30 then held 130lbs till 1/1/23.
2023 Back ⬆️ 145lbs by July 15! 15lbs BOOM! Enjoyed eating & margaritas way too much! Ive always eaten somewhat healthy BUT portion control is/was a huge issue. Started tracking 7/15. Joined “Just give me 10 days” R231 in beginning of 8/2023. Here we are @ 130 determined to…. be in the
📣#bestshapeofmylife 📣
I learned MY choices created an emotional 🎢 roller coaster with yo-yo weight and fitness. My forever goal is to maintain 130lbs as a ceiling. Pretty clear to me that once I reached a goal weight I would then relax/ drift backwards. So glad 145lbs was the max over the last nine years.
I also noticed that as I age it becomes much MUCH more difficult to lose weight. I could loose 15lbs easy in 8 weeks up to 2020ish … This is absolutely not true anymore!!!!

@deepwoodslady Personally, when I read about the CRAP your daughter brings, to you/your house, my first thought is that she’s trying to kill you! I agree with @Cchassee. Throw it away or take it to a homeless shelter or feed it to the pigs. GET RID OF IT! I would not worry about offending her - YOU should be offended by her BLATANT disrespect for your health! Yes, I am raising my voice and if offends people, well, it offends them. Not apologizing.6

01/01 - 154.8 - Happy New Year! I admit, I let the stress of the septic tank issue and the kids leaving get to me. I feasted on all the cookies (now there are none) and breads. Too many calories, not enough movement Friday, even with my run. Saturday had more movement and slightly less calories, but still not in control by any means. Yesterday was better but not great. BF was back from exchanging kids and we had our low carb day. No exercise, though. TOM arrived yesterday morning adding to extra bloat and heaviness. Hopefully over the coming days, things will settle out in life and therefore I can settle out my eating. New Years Lucky dinner tonight with Fam and watching Michigan (my team) play Alabama in the Rose Bowl. It will be very stressful. Once BF is up, I'll go change into workout clothes and knock out my run and walk the dogs. Also have lots of posts to catch up on!

Previous Day's Comments12/28 - Once again, not enough water. I'm really failing at that. I'm setting reminders on my phone to drink water earlier so I'm not trying to fit it all in before bed like I have been lately. I also gave in to too many cookies and sweets. Today is a low carb day. I have the cabbage-wrapped dumplings to make up for lunch today before the cabbage goes bad. Dinner is something called Marry Me Chicken. No clue, but it's low carb so we're giving it a try. Only workout is walking the dogs and anything bodyweight I manage through the day since I didn't plan. Another thing I'm writing down for me to get fixed up and planned out once kids are gone. Today is their last full day, they leave about 930am tomorrow.
12/29 - Better! Low carb day went okay. The cabbage dumplings were a nightmare since the cabbage leaves tore more often than they didn't. I was pleasantly surprised with the ones I managed to make though BF wasn't. I remainder of the filling I made into chicken meatballs using pork rind "breadcrumbs" and BF liked those better. Dinner was Marry Me Chicken which ended up being a lot less of a "one pot dinner" and required sides. Fortunately I had some burger lettuce and I had harvested some of my spring mix plants to allow enough greenery for BF and I to make a salad. Our septic system may need a full replacement - it may be too small and it overflowed. The company we paid to drain and inspect both tanks prior to purchase of this house ended up only draining and inspecting one... Ugh. Emergency drain cost over $500 and now we're looking at over $15,000 in the coming months. Stress relief is going to be a focus now.

Just popping in to join. I am in maintenance and don't weigh daily, but I would like to put 10 days together of staying on target and it is amazing to me how much better you can feel about everything after just a week to 10 days of staying on track. To participate I am going to put my RHR as my metric for the night before because my goal is to keep it below 59 which only happens when I keep to my activity and don't binge.
12/28 RHR 59 💚 Not a bad day
12/29 RHR 60 💛 good day with a 7 mile run
12/30 RHR 60 💛 Did not sleep well which probably contributes to this
12/31 RHR 58 💚 Slept well. Tried something different.
1/1 RHR 58 💚 Did NOT sleep well (too many fireworks) Continuing experiment with Synthroid at wake up vs middle of night. Challenge HALF DONE already. And happy new year.

12/29 133.5 Potatoes and toast with steak & eggs yesterday. I ate about 2/3 oz of cheddar and 2 strips of bacon for “supper.”This weight should go quickly. Having Chicken Crack Casserole today. Arts and crafts “get rid of the goodies day” today.
12/30 134.5 No idea why my weight is up except possibly not enough water. The keto bar cookies I made (I didn’t have any leftover goodies) were quite popular. Our California neighbors are coming up today and she is planning to make a ham dinner for some of us while they are here. I hope she realizes that people make plans for New Year’s Eve!
12/31 134.0 Great Greek today.
1/1 HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎆 134.5 @4am WHY am I awake this early??? California neighbors are fixing ham and turkey today and going back to Cali tomorrow. I’m making “Smashed Crisp Potatoes” or something like that. I don’t generally eat potatoes but will try these. I know they will send ham and turkey home with all of us and try to get us to take anything refrigerated or frozen. They brought us 2 shopping bags of fruit that I will end up taking to DD#2’s school. They clearly don’t understand low carb/no sugar.8 -

R146 goals—return to tracking & daily weigh ins (from 12/31), no snacking after dinner, no ice cream, cut back on cheese, bread, and pasta, walk at least 30 minutes most days
Day, Weight, Comment
12/28 - DNW
I tracked yesterday. Calories were very low, not because I skimped on meals but because I did not snack!. I knitted all through evening tv time, and had no urge to eat, so thats what I plan to do going forward. Guess I’d better start something big but mindless!
12/29 - DNW
I did reasonably well yesterday, but was hungry at night and had a few Triscuits with cheese quite late. Better than ice cream! I’m going to pay attention, but I think on days when I have a very light breakfast, I’m hungrier at night, and when I have more food, especially protein, I’m not hungry later. So, 2 scrambled eggs + coffee this morning! We’ll see.
12/30 - DNW
Ok, last day of my no-weigh-in break. I suspect I’ll be up a couple of pounds from my last weigh in, which was 189 at the end of R143, but I’ll (re)start where I am. Yesterday my calories were low (1220) but I did have cereal & almond milk around 9 p.m. because I really was hungry. Ok, off to groom the doggy! Happy last Saturday of 2023!
12/31 - 191
Well, there it is. 2023 has been a fat year for me—I’m up 12.4 pounds. Emotional self-sabotage, and it has to stop. So my goals for 2024–- sleep and get up earlier,
- meditate 10 minutes minimum per day,
- move more,
- try not to eat after dinner but if I am really hungry, eat something light and healthy,
- eat more responsibly when out for lunch with friends,
- Calories <1400 most days.
01/01 - 190.6
Happy New Year! It’s not much, but I’ll take a January 1st loss as a harbinger for the coming year. I ate responsibly yesterday. DH wants to order Thai food for lunch/dinner, so I’m avoiding the high-calorie curries in favor of a stir fry heavy on veggies, save half for tomorrow, and enjoy it.
