1/3⚖️ 130.6lbs
Yesterday: ✅macros & 1477 cal,🚶♀️3.2k, 🚫🏋️♀️🚫 ex min, 🔥🚫ex cal, 💗Z2 - 🚫min.
Yesterday: Strained my knee a wee-bit first thing warming up & stopped all exercise. Cleaned house instead. Wasn’t meant to be. One more day of getting organized and I’m GTG. RAIN all day today…. Not much exercise opportunity so will eat & 💦accordingly. My thoughts are remaining positive so I’m feeling much better. Hopefully I can accomplish a few reps 🏋️♀️ inside today and if the weather cooperates will walk later today.
NSV:? A great deal of emotional ups & downs and made it through the other side without sabotage.
Posting this “2023 Workout Summary” …. Just a little PROUD! 💪🏻🙌🏻
(When I’m in it, it’s never enough… But when I look back at a snapshot, I am pretty proud!)

12/28 ⚖️ 130.2lbs
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.
12/30⚖️ 131.0
Yesterday: 🚫macros & 1225 cal,🚶♀️2.8k, 🚫ex min, 🔥🚫ex cal, 💗Z2 - 🚫
⚖️ 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 🏋️♀️🏋️♀️🏋️♀️.
Bring on the New Year!🍾🎉🎈
Affirmation: Consistency in healthy habits leads to extraordinary results.

1/1 ⚖️ 134.4
Yesterday: ✅macros & 1595 cal,🚶♀️9.9k, ✅🏋️♀️20 min. 70 ex min total, 🔥370 ex cal, 💗Z2 - 59min
1/1 Yesterday: committed day! But ate late! good choices -Took care of business. 🚶♀️&🏋️♀️Celebrated early. Bed by 10pm. Ready for 💯 full steam ahead. 134.4?! HA! Not real. See ya tomorrow lying scale! My body is something else! Bye bye water!
Today: 🎾🏋️♀️🚶♀️
1/2 ⚖️ 131.3 Glad I kept my head yesterday.
Yesterday: ✅macros & 1414 cal,🚶♀️9.2k, ✅🏋️♀️10 min. 110 ex min total, 🔥800ex cal, 💗Z2 - 59 min. That weight fluctuation was from eating different foods later than usual for NYE. Im on such a routine (❤️) that a disruption causes havoc. I felt it all day yesterday… Late in late out! 😂 still super puffy. Living 💦 today!
Ive experienced a sad 3-4 days. I felt defeated yesterday. (Family hurts not body). I did not resort to bad food choices… (yes, an NSV) but I have little to zero momentum/joy or drive to accomplish my exercise goals. The battle in my mind is exhausting. I know with certainty that I will come out of it, but it is ever-present right now. I pushed myself for a 🏋️♀️ & walk yesterday & felt better, but I “need” to lift weights & it’s a battle. I only got in 10 minutes 🏋️♀️, but will count that as a win. I will be patient with myself & know this cloud will lift. I “will” it AWAY! Step behind me now! A momentum shift will come soon. Will read many affirmations this morning and pray. B E L I E V E!
I’m sharing this for others to know that we all have burdens to carry… and own individual mind games/triggers. My toughest battle is between my ears.
I’m grateful for this group. Thank you for sharing your vulnerabilities.
I’m determined to have a positive day today 💪🏻 & I hope you do too! 🙌🏻
Today: 🎾, 🚶♀️🏋️♀️

Health Journey
****************
Pre- college: 125-130lbs
In college-ballooned to 160lbs one year… graduated @130lbs.
1990 (Age 32) - Avg. 135 lbs
2001 (Age 43) - Avg 145 lbs
2010 (Age 52) HW 172 lbs
2020 (Age 62) Avg 130-135
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 📣
The yo-yo is exhausting & unhealthy. Takes up way too much space in my brain!
I learned MY choices created an emotional 🎢 roller coaster with yo-yo weight and fitness. My forever goal is to maintain a ceiling of 130lbs. 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!!!!

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.
1/2: 136.5. Yesterday was a pretty good day. Ate well, tracked my food. Did a 4 mile run. My weight is a bit higher than I would like still, but hopefully that will come back down soon.
1/3: 134.8. woohoo. All the holiday weight/ bloating has come off. I had a great day yesterday. I did good on food, tracked everything that went in mouth. I went to the gym and ran 4 miles. The only thing that could be improved was the beer I had (but logged) at the end of the day. We have a few more in the fridge that I'm planning to finish slowly, and then no more beer!

@itladyee Thank you for the kind words… I’m pulling for you, Charissa! (You have a beautiful name!)
@judefit1 I’m tuned in to your journaling… Lots of good stuff going on there recognizing habits. One thing that has helped me in the evenings is reaching for my caffeine-free detox tea. In the beginning I really didn’t like it very much but now it’s become such a ritual that I recognize it as “self-care” and it makes me feel terrific while sipping….
@Zaxa2021 Touche! Successful holidays for sure! Good luck in training sending positive vibes! 🙌🏻💪🏻5 -
36 YO – 5’6” stay at home mom to two little kids
About meI'm going to give this a try, my first 10 day challenge and it seems doable. I'm struggling with motivation at this point in the year - hoping to get logging back on track, stop snacking and drink more water! I work out plenty but I'm having an issue with staying below calories. Two small kids and a husband who are always snacking is not helping. I lost 20 lbs last year, have put 5 back on, and I don't want any more coming back! Hoping to lose 15 more this year.
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 since we ate a lot of fried food – rocked an early morning kickboxing class, green smoothie again (I’m getting better at ratios), starting my “damp” January today – 25 days AF, water and calories were great
1/2 – 162.2– lowest I’ve been in a while! Hopeful it sticks! Stayed within calories, AF, steps were atrocious but I took my kids swimming for 2 hours and I don’t record anything while swimming, green smoothie and meditation success
1/3 – 160.9 – I’m assuming I’m just losing extra water weight? Still exciting if it sticks! Goals- workout, green smoothie, take measurements, make meal plan,

SW RND 246 237.4
12/28 237.4 Well folks, I never left MFP, but I certainly haven't been taking things seriously in 2023, and I have a lot of regain to show for it. I did my best when I was way more active here, so it's time to start. Missed you all!
12/29 237 At my dad's house with my travel scale but no food scale. It's been a long while since I've consistently tracked my food so I'm going to need to get back into the habit when I get home. Nice to see a move in the right direction today.
12/30 237 A miracle I stayed the same as we saw Wonka last night and I ate a giant popcorn. We did take the dog for a walk and my meals weren't terrible. Today we have a big family celebration at the Legion.
12/31 236 Our visit with my Dad was great. We are on the road home today.. the ride is about 11 hours so my steps will be minimal. Road food as we didn't have anything to pack. Would be different if I was back in my good habits. Something to think of for future trips.
1/1 237.4 Yesterday was road trip snacks, fast food, appetizers, and some alcohol to ring in the New Year. A ton of excess has me back where I started this round which is to be expected. I'm back home and getting back in my routine so I expect things to head in a positive direction now. Happy New Year all!
1/2 236.4 Back to work today after a long stretch off. Yesterday was a good day on track with all aspects of my goals. Have a good plan to keep that up today.
1/3 235.8 Back to my pre-Christmas weight, so that feels like a good milestone. I checked all my boxes yesterday and it shows on the scale. Today I donate blood so exercise will only be a walk as they don't want you doing anything strenuous afterwards.

12/28 235.4, MBS 171. My goals this ten days 1) gain no weight, 2) Morning Blood Sugars down to 140's by the end of the period, and 3) log in every day. Challenging enough!
12/29 234.8.
12/30 - travel day
12/31 - 235, MBS 169.
1/1 - 235, 154.
1/2 235.4, 164.
1/3 235.2, 167. I think the day was good, right up to the point where it wasn't. After dinner snacking has got to be brought under control.

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.
01/02 - 191.2
☹️ I didn’t see that coming. Calories 1415 yesterday, 1220 Sunday. Salt maybe in yesterday’s stir fry?

Morning all!
Really good day yesterday. Back at the gym again, back on the tennis court and really focusing on the diet and calorie intake. Intermittent fasting going really well with two consecutive 19/5 splits. Ditched the soda for this year which has been easier than I expected. Had two pretty outlandish days of results on the scale but long may that continue!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎆
1/1 212.5 -- starting with a celebratory uptick, but okay with that. Let the games begin!
1/2 211.7 -- had to really push for minimum step count yesterday. 🤞🏽easier today
1/3 210.1 -- bye bye NYE! Definitely surprised after LNS cheese and crackers, but Intermittent Fasting has been 19+ hours everyday this week, and HIIT with multiple mini workouts KICKED BUTT yesterday! Step count was also highest in a week @ 10,798. Focus is strength and flexibility today.

Goals for this Year

Goals for this round
• Track daily
• Journal Daily
• Drink 64oz of water daily
• 8000 Steps/day
12/28 - No weight, 5,972 steps, low for the day, did not track water but I know it was not good
12/29 - 187.0, 5,882 steps, low for the day, need to work on getting a walk in or getting on the treadmill. Did not track my water again.
12/30 - 188.0, 6,067 steps, low for the day but I am tracking and really that is my main goal this week. Did not track water. Overall a good day. Did some work, had to spend time on the phone getting our internet and tv fixed. Almost 2 hours, not fun but things seem to be so much better now. Ended the evening by doing up some new nails.
12/31 - 186.8, 5,882 Steps, very low for the day. I ordered a new scale, both one for the house and 1 for travel. I don't want to use travel as an excuse to not weigh myself. Had a good evening with friends last night.
1/1 HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎆186.4, 4,174 steps very low, wasn't feeling great and didn't end up doing a lot.
1/2 - 188.6 - 6,875 Steps, still low but getting better. My new scales arrived and I like it. I also bought a travel scales, which will help for those weeks when I am traveling for work and fun. Today is a long work day and should help me to get all my steps in.

01/03 - 154.6 - I did better yesterday and it shows. Today is good, so far. I haven't eaten but I'm not fasting. I added my mushroom coffee to my regular coffee, plus creamer so there's calories there. Heavy, calorie-filled dinner tonight so any little bit I can do to offset calories will help. The carbs are mostly from the naan bread so I may attempt the keto version of it I found to see if BF can tell the difference. I'm just now getting a tad peckish, likely due to my run this morning. It was a shorter one, but it was still a workout and I'm okay with that. One more run (3km assessment) on Friday should finalize this training app and I can move on next week. I need to focus on finishing this cup of water (30oz) before lunch if I want to stay on track. I was good and drank over 100oz yesterday. I'd like to do that again today.

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.

01/01 - 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!
01/02 - Stress eating due to the Michigan game and ended up having a second glass of champagne that I really shouldn't have. I didn't need it, it was something to do with my hands. I ended up getting seconds on the cornbread and black eyed peas because I accidentally snorted a mouthful of that mixture through my nose. Note to self: don't eat while trying to watch a stressful game. Take bites during commercials only. I apparently felt that the lucky dinner could only be lucky if I consumed the food rather than snort it out my nose so I got more, despite the fact that all of it minus one forkful was properly eaten. I wasn't in the right mind at all last night. Today I am doing strength. I have done 2 sets already of 10 bodyweight squats and 10 (each) 10lb kettlebell single leg romanian deadlifts. I need one more set of each to be done. I attempted to take the dogs for a walk but the rain hit sooner than forecast and we had to sprint back home. Considering it was supposed to be raining from 2-3am onward until after dark tonight, I'm content at the 1/2 mile we managed to squeeze in despite getting a tad bit wet. At least none of us got soaked! Low carb today and I'm determined to make better choices!
