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 - finished a rough work out, skipped smoothie for a protein shake, did okay overall, not fantastic, under calories and AF
1/4 – 161.1 – happy to see the weight is still off! I haven’t been able to get below 163 for a while. I stayed under calories, barely? Slightly disappointed with myself, ate veggies, horrible at getting steps in again but I have a sick 4 year old who just wants to snuggle, AF
1/5 – 162 – thinking it’s just from yesterday’s fried food - goals – actually get my steps in, meal prep and grocery shop

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!
1/4: 134.0. yes! I'm so happy to see the downward trend. I've been tracking very carefully and running. Right now, it seems to be working. I've been around 135 for several months now and am so ready to get past it and to my goal.
1/5: 134.1. I'm glad most of the loss stuck around.

Round 246
Dec 28, 2023 – Jan 6, 2024
62 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
12/28 – 130.4 hopefully, yesterday is the end of thoughtless eating
12/29 – 130.4 cleaning out the fridge before leaving town. Choices not good as yet. Leaving 7 am tomorrow.
12/30 – Drive MA to NC 130.4 Back filling data. 29th was so occupied with packing, preparing the house and visiting my mom, I honestly cannot remember how I ate, but I know that I did not track.
12/31 – Drive NC to FL, @MIL by evening 130.0 (renpho travel scale) Did fairly in yesterday’s 700 mile drive. I did track and would have been slightly over, but chick fil a filled my “grilled” chicken nuggets with fried, but they also forgot to give me my pre-tracked honey mustard sauce. I am accepting the day. Not perfect, but acceptable. 700 more mile to go today.
1/1 – @MIL (renpho travel AFTER breakfast) 130.6 Did I want to step on the scale after breakfast? No. But I made myself do it. At least it was a number.
1/2 – Finish drive to Keys (renpho 130.6) Bummer that I am the same as AFTER breakfast. Staying at MIL’s is dietarily challenging.
1/3 – 131.0 argh. Up even more. MIL sent us with leftover gnocchi. Awesome, but sits like lead.
1/4 – 129.2 Yay for me. I tracked yesterday and stuck with it. Helped hubby with his as well (I log in through Safari and keep his account open on Firefox). Saw the walking group this morning, but could not join them. Need to get fully unpacked (so I can find things), and catch up on my mother’s bills and other estate work. Plan to join the walking group tomorrow morning.
1/5 – 128.6 Two tracked days in a row!! Yay, again! I joined the walking ladies this morning. Just two laps (thought hubby wanted to do errands) which is like 3.2 miles. Had a good breakfast and trying a new lunch.

01/03 - 151.2 - There are still a lot of leftovers at home and at the office. I am freezing most of the dark chocolates that my family gifted me and will eat one a day for my evening snack.
01/04 - 150.3 - That's probably it for the water weight. I've been staying on track.
01/05 - 150.3 - I am telling myself I will track my food all weekend. That is the best way for me to watch what I eat on the weekends.

• 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.
1/3 - 187.6 - 8,376 steps, Got it done!! I had a really long day but I managed to get my steps in!!
1/4 - 187.8 - 4,230 steps, very low. I'm just not getting my steps in. Next week I will be working on that more. I think that I need to simplify how many goals I work on each round. Going to tr only 1 next round.

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?
01/03 - 191.2
Sigh.
01/04 - 191.2
I had a minor emotional eat yesterday, so I didn’t expect a loss.
01/05 - 191.4
Yesterday was good, so this is from my slip on Wednesday.

01/05 - 153.0 - I stepped on the scale 3 times to be sure and all 3 bounced around until settling on this exact same weight. I apparently did something right with low carb yesterday to get such a good scale response. Today is normal eating so I'm going to have to keep mindful and on my own case to maintain or lose further for end of round. My final run with this Joggo app today, 3k. I kept it very easy with a 12:49 min/mile and nearly 25 minutes. My focus was to be able to hold a conversation, even if a little stuttered, while running which has been a challenge. Good news is back in September, a 1.5 mile run was at 13:05 and I couldn't hold a conversation so there's obvious improvement when I take the time to look back. Work today and have to go to post to grab a package that's been there for over a week now. I'd let it sit until next Friday when I'm off work but BF ran out of creamer this morning and we have fire department training tomorrow morning - he'll need his coffee with creamer! Might as well knock out two errands with one trip. Also, we might be moving sooner than expected. The HOA got even stupider here (it used to be so good) and so we're looking to see if BF is eligible for VA loan (credit score-wise) so he can buy while I work on selling. My VA loan is wrapped up in this current house. So here's to a bunch of stress to overcome. Sorry in advance if I rant or rave, it really helps me to get it out of my system in a safe place and all of you always have such good insight and perspectives. I appreciate all your support all the time

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.
12/30 - DNP
12/31 - DNP
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!
01/03 - 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.
01/04 - Happy to see this drop even with the heavy calorie-dense dinner (that I ate too much of). I skipped breakfast (not a full fast due to Ryze and creamer in my coffee) and had a spinach salad with chicken for lunch to help keep things light and help offset dinner. I had a small afternoon snack of the keto cinnamon muffins (they gotta get eaten before they go bad and I have keto blueberry muffins I need to make before ingredients go bad!) That and 100oz of water through the day seemed to work! Today is back to low carb. I have a keto beef stroganoff recipe from my "Southern Keto" cookbook that BF was willing to try tonight. No lunch plans but have a few keto lunches I know how to make and have the ingredients for, depending on what BF is feeling. I did upper body strength: 3 sets of 10x knee pushups and 10x each single arm bent over rows with 10lb kettlebell. Not much but we're re-introducing strength slowly in hopes it sticks and I'm not so sore I can't move for a week after. Plus, I've still got the 10k training to focus on. Hoping I can really buckle down and stick to my goals these next couple days so I can end this round lower than I started. I'm only 0.2lb away from breaking even so it's very doable!

Morning All,
Knew that the leveling off was coming for me at some point. Not surprised or upset. I did have a second meal yesterday and, despite a really good 19hr fasting window, expected to go up a little. Won’t let it get me down though!! Pushing on that little bit harder today!

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.
We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

My 240th round!
SW RND 246 134.5
12/28 131.5 Drank plenty of water, 16g total carbs Going to brunch with friends at 11. Be strong, be strong, be strong.
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.
1/2 134.0 I think I will treat the neighbors to Sticky Buns this afternoon. I hope I can be strong and avoid them! Tomorrow starts my New Year. I will get measurements and photos somehow.
1/3 134.0 I expected this to go up because
I made (and ate) Sticky Buns for or neighbors yesterday. And I forget measurements so will try to remember tomorrow morning. Maybe if I hang the measuring take over the coffeemaker. post new round
1/4 135.5 WTH Delayed result of sticky buns? I ate well yesterday and drank water.
1/5 135.0 I realize that I am stress eating, not something I remember ever doing in the past. At least I don’t have “unfriendly” junk in the house. Haven’t tracked at all this week or diligently for months.8 -

Round 5 sw= 174.8 ew= 174.8
Just trying to be healthy. Weight loss is an extra bonus.
Eventual weight goal = 164
12/27 = 175 sleep not good, eating not good, no exercise. Why do I white knuckle it through the difficult time, then fall apart immediately after? Gotta do better!
12/30 = 176.4 sleep ok, eating bad, no exercise.
12/31 = 177
1/1 = 177.8 bad day yesterday, ate better than I have been, lots of room for improvement. Bad nights sleep. Too cold to walk, so walked the aisles at Walmart, but it was crowded, so walked slowly trying not to run over people. It's too cold to walk outside today and the gym is closed. I'm up 4.6 pounds in December and another .8 today. I don't want to gain back what I've lost, and I'm tired of losing and gaining the same weight over and over. Ive got to figure this out.
1/2 = 176.6 didn't eat well, didn't walk, didn't sleep well
1/3 = 178 didn't eat well. Didn't walk. Slept better
1/4 = 177.7 didn't eat well. Walked to the store and bought an 🍎 apple. Slept well
1/5 = 178 ate junk. Didn't walk. Slept 1 hour.

Hi, I'm Charissa

Round 246, just in the nick of time!!! In the course of a year, I managed to gain. Normally this would upset me and I'd throw in the towel, only to gain more weight; but I did have success in 2023. Life just got in the way and I lost my focus. During the ride, I learned some things that work and truly are sustainable, I also learned that I need to work on my emotions and how they relate to how I treat or mistreat my body.
So here we go 2024... my motto -
🏋🏾♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
Goals this round:
*This round will be odd, but it will be a start. I will be on vacation 12/29 - 1/2. I will get plenty of exercise (walking) but I probably won't begin the nutrition refocus until I get back since I won't be cooking and not sure what my options will be.
1/3 on...
- Tracking to the best of my ability 🍎and staying under calorie budget (just say NO!)- Defining a higher calorie budget which will make the loss slower but again, more sustainable.
Also get rid of the oops factor. When targets are too low, it easy to say...Oops, I went over so I
might as well have...<fill in the blank>
- Closing my rings : 🚶🏽

12/28 223.8 ~ This morning was a Don't think, just do it morning. I set the alarm to make sure I woke up in time to exercise. I wanted to turn over and go back to sleep but I didn't. Went to the gym. Weights: Arms & Legs. 10 minutes on the bike and 20 minutes on the treadmill. Always happy when it's done!🙂 Lots of junk in the house from the holidays. I forgot I made Buckeyes as they were in the refrigerator. I tried one and then had another, they were so good. I'm going to freeze them into individual servings for portion control . The rest of the stuff is going out (garbage) tonight. We leave tomorrow for Vegas for 3+ days so I will come back to an empty house and start with a clean slate!
12/29 223.6 ~ 🏋🏾♀️ Don't think, just do it!! Weights: Shoulders, Back and a little chest🙂 30 minutes on the treadmill. Ready for mini vacation!!
12/30 *vacation*
12/31 *vacation*
1/1 *vacation* Happy New Year!!! Getting lots and lots of steps in. Big dinner last night but mostly sea food. One more day then a travel day. It's been fun!
1/2 * vacation* Travel day. Interesting...the last couple of trips I've actually been ready to come home. Real work starts tomorrow. There was alcohol to celebrate the new year, but today...I turned down mimosas at breakfast. A start🙂 Nothing changes if nothing changes!
1/3 223.6 I didn't want to budge this morning but 🏋🏾♀️ Don't think, just do it!! Weights: Shoulders, Back and Chest - 2 exercises each body part. 30 minutes on the treadmill. The scale remained the same after 4 days of splurging... It was all the walking!! You have to be willing to change what you think is good enough! I increased weights on my roll machine today and contemplated on my laterals (next time)! Also back on the fast train today (IF) only 20 minutes left. I can do it
1/4 222.4 Just one day and I expect the first 5 to 7lbs to go fairly quickly. 🏋🏾♀️ Don't think, just do it!! Weights: Leg and arm day. I forgot that I like doing these weights the best. If completed yesterday and today at 17 hours! 👏 Trust (and follow) the process🙂

🌦️🌈☀️💥10 more days💥☀️🌈🌦️
I’m a 65 year young gal working on getting rid of those last 8 pounds. Last go-around I didn’t always manage to get my steps in due to my walking partner (dog) being on house arrest due to a pulled muscle. Also went on a mini vacation. This round I would like to get back on track so I can start the next round strong! Here we go! We got this! And yes, I’m late to this party due to that mini-vacation!

01/04 -182.0- (Trend weight 180.7) My Christmas Dinner was on the 30th. I always suffer from intense cravings after people-gathering holidays. Last night I satisfied my craving for Pasta. I wish I would have stuck to the roast beef I had planned. I’ll have that tonight, it’s already in the crock pot. I need to be a good girl as the scale is getting out of hand. I’ve been working at taking down the Christmas decorations and all the Christmas trees (5 of them). I hope to finish up today. At least I’m getting lots of steps in and climbing lots of stairs!
01/05 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) Back to my school bus schedule for DGS in Kindergarten. Up at 6:15 which is about 4 hours earlier than usual so I typically do not weigh on Fridays. Yesterday I worked on finishing up removing and packing up the Christmas décor. So many steps! It felt like the old days when I worked before retirement!
