@ Everyone in this challenge:
It's so good to have this forum to read- good advice, positive feedback and encouragement to others! I don't comment, but I do read everyone's plights and progress and I identify with you all. We're all at different stages of life and of this process, but that's what makes this so helpful. Thanks for sharing this life journey with me!
Daily comments:
01/07- 142.6- positive start; feeling good about my choices right now. I know the initial drop will stop soon and then I'll level off; that's why it's good to have short term goals but keep the big picture in mind.
01/08- 142.6-(back to my pre-holiday weight. Let the games begin!)
01/10- 141.4- 14 days into my new routine; still in that positive first flush of losing (kind of like those early dating days-let's make this one the "keeper"10 -
@itladyee thx for asking! I posted my visit with the personal trainer within my daily comments spoiler (because I tend to go on and on). It was definitely worth visiting a personal trainer. She identified many weaknesses in my flexibility and balance. My body is greatly out of balance, which I did not realize the extent… She also recommended lifting heavier weights (and more often). She gave a full interpretation of the Inbody scan… She did not mince words… I’m “skinny fat” with an immediate goal: gain 6lbs muscle, lose 4lbs fat. I have LOTS of work to do!!! Will try a plan for several weeks and then check-in. Focus on DOING the hard work!9

Hi it's Kelly, I was here a while back but now it's January again. I have to erase the 8 months of gains that I got when I was not holding myself accountable.
56 yrs 5'11" Living with heart failure and on medications that can cause fluid fluctuations if I forget to take them. (Oh yeah, diagnosed with ADHD but unmedicated because of the ticker) Limited exercise.
2024 SW 222---> Uncontrolled holiday eating and fluid retention I hope.
SW: 225.2----> but had reached one-derland in 2021 then had slow gain ever since.

37y/o, 5'4 audhd mum of 2. hEDS and ARFID (as well as being ND) make it very difficult to change my diet and have the motivation or physical health/strength to lose weight.
I didn't realise how lucky I was previously not to struggle with my weight but in the last few years -the last couple especially - I don't even recognise myself.
Extremely thankful to have found this, hope it will give me strength and help keep me motivated!

36 YO – 5’6” stay at home mom to two little kids
About meI'm in this for a second go! I'm struggling with motivation at this point in the year, but the 10 day challenge definitely helped - hoping to keep logging, drink more water and keep getting in all of my vegetables! 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 Rd 246 164.6 EW 161.8 – completely cut out alcohol

1/7 – 160.9 – injured my foot right at the beginning of a workout, ugh. Hopefully it heals quickly. Calories were a bit off yesterday because I decided to eat closer to maintenance.
1/8 – 160.2 – losing quickly which is strange, I’m still assuming it’s the holiday water weight shedding, because idk, not doing anything special. Walked a ton, stayed under calories because of all the walking, AF, forgot the green smoothie but had a ton of veggies
1/10 – 160.4 – happy with today
1/11 – 160.2 – goals – gym, steps, nutrition

I’ve upped daily cal intake to find out what happens… BMR is 1375… thinking 1500-1600 on non-workout days is maintenance . Macros MUST be in check. I’m not really counting calories, but they show up as I log macros… Trying to gain muscle& lose fat simultaneously is a huge challenge - perplexed. Daunted.
PREMIUM FOR YOU?! There was AC brief discussion regarding whether or not to upgrade to MFP premium… I highly recommend it… Customized Goals, Reports, trends, articles, notes. I find huge value if you want to use data to guide your efforts.
There’s also been brief discussion as to “obsessing” over / too much focus on your health journey, specific foods, etc. My thought: What’s more important than becoming who you want to be? Isn’t being mindful important? You have to WANT IT BAD though… 😎 Maybe “obsessing” is a step in the journey that must be taken… to get to the other side? Hmmmm
I guess I’m trying to pump myself for this next step…. I’m no longer obsessing over what to eat or what not to eat. I’m now obsessing over 🏋️♀️🏋️♀️🏋️♀️. Hahaha I also think all of us know what’s best for us individually. The challenge is finding the strength, discipline & fortitude to do the hard work! I’m working on multiple ✅s!
FYI: I use the Renpho scale. My BF% and Visceral fat is way off (WORSE) compared to the more accurate InBody scan.
Let’s GO! 🙌🏻💪🏻

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.

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 approx. 130lbs. Pretty clear 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!
While active with 🚶♀️& 🎾 it’s clear a ST routine is absent. Time to incorporate ST 🏋️♀️ as my TRUE focus.

1/9-171- I’ve got my work cut out for me. No more new projects. My dad made me a quilt rack and I hung all of my quilt tops on it and I can see what needs to be done. Yard needs pruning. Made a big pot of Panera chicken soup.

1/7 237.4 Started this round with a huge surge up. I took my husband for a night away to a lodge in the backcountry of the Rocky Mountains. We had some indulgences and it shows. Most of this will be water weight but it's time to get focused. We left the resort and did a nearly 8KM snowshoe hike before we came home so at least we got our activity today! Let's make some progress for this round!
1/8 239 Was really surprised to see another bump up today. I had a good day but rather than ride the bike tonight we got invited to have dinner at a friend's house last minute. The food was healthy enough.
1/9 235.2 Alright, there's the drop. I have a day of mostly unplanned food - a course where food is served, and then a corporate event with dinner out and then box seats at the Calgary Flames game. Will have to be smart about my choices.
1/10 235.6 Did good at the hockey game with the dinner out before last night. Came in just short of my steps. The deep cold is setting in here and there is lots of new snow that fell overnight.

I'm Julie, 35 year old SAHM to two year old twins.
SW RND 247: 137.2
1/7: 134.1. Not sure why I had the random spike yesterday, but I'm glad it came back down. I did a 6 mile run and eating was good. I had another sleepless night last night, thanks to one of my boys, so today is going to be another rough day, I'm sure. I'm going to still try to run tonight, but I know I'm going to be exhausted, making it really easy to talk myself out of it.
1/8: 134.0. I would LOVE to be in 133 zone, but I guess not today. I was tired but forced myself to go to the gym and run 4 miles. I also went for a walk, even though it was a bit cold, 50°F, but I'm near the Phoenix area so not used to the cold lol.. I was worried my boys were getting too cold, so kept it short. I'm proud of myself for getting some exercise even though it was really tempting to skip it yesterday.
1/9: 134.0. Well at least it's not up. Food was good, went for a walk and a run. Little short on sleep last night- not sure why my boys are sleeping so bad lately. But that's okay, I'm still planning on exercising today.
1/10: 132.5! I'm so happy. I spent most of yesterday morning going pee, and woke up this morning to a woosh! I've been very carefully counting calories, which I tend to get lazy on, and this is the result! Ran 4 miles last night. I really hope this number sticks around (or continues to drop).

Goals for this round (same as last round)
• Track daily
• Journal Daily
• Drink 64oz of water daily
• 8000 Steps/day
1/7 - 187.2 - 3,861 steps which is really low. I got Melissa's shopping and ours done, shovelled the little bit of snow we got off the front walks.
1/8 - 187 - 7,729 steps, getting closer to my goal. It was a cold day. Had my doctors appointment. Will be doubling my meds once I'm back from Cap Cana. Then in a month if things aren't better the doctor is going to change course and try another treatment. The drive to Vegreville was beautiful, the trees were all covered in snow and ice. Saw lots of Buffalo around the park, sky was deep blue. Wish I had taken a picture.
1/9 - 186.6 - 6,879 not great but with the amount of driving I did yesterday on bad roads it was to be expected.

01/07 - 176.4, ate really healthy yesterday, cooked and stocked up at Prep'd, so I have 0 excuse for not eating healthy. Didn't walk yesterday, but it's pretty today, and I'm on my way. Slept ok last night.
01/08 - 175, ate very well, walked, sleep better, still needs work.
01/09 - 173.8, ate very well, no walk, didn't sleep. It's going down as easy as it went up. A mind of its own
01/10 - 173, baked. Ate well, but too much. Shopped a lot. Slept badly.

@SheilaBoneham I see… I can’t lose much as well, but with hormonal issues. I try same things, I hope with consistency we will see good results.7

@CamandJarvis As I watched the game last night, I thought of you & was pulling for Michigan! (You are the only wolverine fan I know.) Congratulations! But MORE importantly, CONGRATS for preplanning your healthy snack! 💪🏻🎉
That's so sweet of you, thank you!! I knew I was in an okay spot since it was Low Carb day and BF would keep me honest there (if he can't cheat, I can't!) but I was super worried I'd grab all the low-carb things and stuff my face. Fortunately, too, we finished eating dinner before the game started so I didn't accidentally overeat there and had time to feel satisfied/not hungry.5 -

@Cchassee I am not a big football fan, HOWEVER, since I am a gal who is born, raised and lives in Michigan, I'm a big fan RIGHT NOW! Hey, and what about those Lions?
Lions are my second team! Colts are my primary (being born and raised in Michigan City, Indiana) but having lived in Indiana but worked in Michigan and spent a lot of time just across the state line, I'm also a huge Lions fan!5 -
You don't have to be perfect, you just have to be better than you were before

01/10 - 152.9 - Shocked it's not higher. I was over calories by a bit having enjoyed a black cherry soda with dinner. Dinner was, as mentioned, higher calorie homemade red chicken enchiladas. I forced myself to stop eating at my usual spot despite it tasting so good and wanting to eat the entire plate. Glad I did AND remembered to take my lactose pill. Both of those likely helped keep this jump up less than what I expected based on past experiences. Low Carb today - eating a low carb breakfast sandwich I pieced together, lunch is egg roll in a bowl, and dinner is chicken quarters with cabbage and mushroom sides. Had an early morning meeting so I got out and ran 2.5 miles with just enough time to strip off my jacket, hat, gloves and hop on said call after. Whew! I was still panting when it started, but I'm glad I got it done otherwise it likely would've been postponed until tomorrow. I need to walk the (very upset) dogs around my lunch break. Hopefully it'll be warmer and my firewood is delivered early enough to give me time to cook, eat, and walk before my next meeting. Fingers crossed! I'm not cooking tonight, though, so I can take them after work before it gets dark, too, if need be.

Previous Day's Comments01/07 - DNP
01/08 - Well I wasn't expecting that after last night's dinner. We went to friend's to hang out for a bit and had homemade burgers. I munched on too many chips, honestly. I did, however, munch on a loooot of veggies from the veggie tray we brought. Today I ran on the treadmill due to the horrible wind we're having. Managed 2 miles. Will slowly up that to 3 miles (5k) then incorporate my 10k training from there since my 10k training is really a 5k to 10k program). Low carb today. Dinner is garlic lemon shrimp with creamed spinach. Lunch is egg roll in a bowl. Not much else to report on but feeling very hopeful for this round!
01/09 - I was very low on calories yesterday on top of my 2 mile treadmill run. I simply wasn't hungry and that was very nice after several days of what seemed like insatiable hunger. I even kept it to 2 Adkins peanut butter cups as a "stress" treat during last night's championship. We are national champs! (I'm a complete Michigan Wolverine fan despite living in Texas - I have been since I was a young child). I need to do a bodyweight upper body strength at some point today but I slept in after staying up several hours past my bedtime watching the game. Taking it easy today. "Normal" eating and we have the calorie-bomb enchiladas tonight for dinner so will need to be cautious about my breakfast and lunch.
