Thought today: Watched "Nyad" last night. I don't have to swim shark infested waters, I just have to stay away from the pantry. Think I can manage that.
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"
1/11- 141.4- no surprise there, dramatic losses post-holidays. I'm looking to lose about 1/2-1 lb/week and I've exceeded that. I'm prepared that I may rebound as well.
1/12- 141.4- stabilized after a dramatic beginning to the year. All good.

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
SW Rd 246 164.6 EW 161.8
SW 160.9 RND 247
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
1/9 - 160.4 – happy with today
1/10 – 160.2 – happy with today
1/11 – 160 – today was alright. It was very busy so I didn’t have a lot of time to do anything.
1/12 – 160.2 – goals – get my steps, clean the house, nutrition

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).
1/11: 132.8. Close enough, I'm happy with it essentially staying the same as yesterday. I upped my run and did 5 miles, which felt pretty good. Continuing to weight food and count calories.
1/12: 134.4. I was hungry yesterday so I ate a bit extra. Ran 3 miles.

Another cold, windy day. Lazy, nice 🚶♀️in afternoon.
Today: meeting, 🎾, 🤸🏼🏋️♀️
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 discussions 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 compared to the more accurate InBody scan.=(Worse)

I booked an FST (Fascia stretch therapy) with the trainer. Oh my! She stretched me like a noodle… (not really - too tight!) It was amazing! My body is so tight it’s scary. Gave me a good jump start to stretch 🙆♀️daily. 🏋️♀️Focus on upper body. What a journey…. Good day.

Cleaned house all day, but managed to get in 🏋️♀️🙆♀️. Was hoping to get to the club, but cleaning took way longer than thought. Was in an “OK” head space (meh)… Determined not to give up. Need to be “ok” with only “ok”.
Today: 🙆♀️🏋️♀️🤸🏼 Awful weather today with the front moving in … like everyone else, planning next week for record 🥶 temps. I’ve “calendared” group exercises for all next week (Need to change my attitude about group exercises because I don’t like them at all - but next week it’s my only option. Looks like no tennis for almost two weeks…. Yuck!)
NSV: Hosted bridge last night… Drank 💦 only. What a WIN!
Have a great weekend all! Affirmations/Repeat:

Initial BF% : 22%
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 brain space.
I learned MY choices created an emotional 🎢 roller coaster with yo-yo weight and fitness. My forever goal is to maintain approx. 130lbs and IN SHAPE. 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 lose 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.

Goals for this Year
• Be able to wear my wedding ring again
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.
1/10 - 186.8 - 9,227 Made my goal!!! It was too cold outside but I had lots of stores to visit for work. I really hope that we get some new hires while I'm on vacation.
1/11 - 186.8 - Got 8,409 steps in. But man was it cold out there.

01/12 - 152.6 - Not bad for a normal eating day! I stayed under 100g net carbs for the day and feeling pretty good. Today is low carb. Dinner is planned, lunch and breakfast are not but I've been pretty good about that. I did a 15 minute treadmill run but that's it. My legs are sore from yesterday's lower body strength and I've pushed hard this week with increasing miles. I can take it easy. I know I can come back and work out more later if I want. Post and groceries this morning. This afternoon going with BF to his haircut appointment and a lady will meet us there to buy our old stationary bike. Busy busy.

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.
01/10 - 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.
01/11 - Not going to lie, I was hoping for a lower number. I did really well yesterday. Some of this may be salt as BF cooked and he always adds extra salt. Today I completed my lower body strength of bodyweight squats and single leg RDL with 10lb kettlebell. I'm making progress by needing less recovery time between each set, even after long runs. Let's see how this feels tomorrow during my longer run. Today's dinner is pork chops with baked potato and green beans. I'm not sure breakfast or lunch, but I'm aiming to keep fairly low carb. I just input my creamer (I wanted to try a combination so I used regular creamer) and dinner - 60g net. If I can keep breakfast and lunch to a minimum, I can stay under 100g net for the day. I will try!

So here we go 2024... my motto -
🏋🏾♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
Goals this round:
- Tracking to the best of my ability 🍎and staying under calorie budget -- 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>
Update: I increased my calorie budget and am having trouble meeting it with the right macros.
- Goal is 48 this week
- Closing my rings : 🚶🏽

1/7 ~ DNW - Traveling. Tomorrow will be a very interesting number on the scale. I ate and drank somewhat freely on Saturday - celebrating my husband's birthday, but I did get my workout in. Sunday was back to normal with lots of water but little exercise. Actually, I will be happy with whatever I see. I enjoyed my weekend and now it's back to the plan and dry January.

1/10 218.4 This is like the first few dates of a new relationship!
1/11 217.4 So.. I'm one of those people that gets on the scale 3 or 4 times to confirm that it's right. Usually it is...but this morning it said 218.2 which I was ok with. After I showered, I tried again and it said 217.4. Of course I had to jump on one more time a few minutes later and 217.4 it is!! I'll take it!! Down 6.2 since 1/1 and 1.6 this round.
1/12 218.8 That 218.2 was probably more accurate...but at any rate...still good. I've got to watch that "snack" tendency. A few more minutes on the treadmill this morning.

Yesterday was good, calories in line (1190) and minimal snacking.
01/08 - 192.2
This is so demoralizing. I’ve been below 1400 calories for 5 days. Yesterday I had 1329 annd nothing crazy. Obviously I have to go lower to lose, but that’s what got me into this mess, a very restrictive elimination diet during which my daily calories were around 1,000. I’m very discouraged.
01/09 - 192.2
I went out for my regular Monday lunch with my friend, but had a salad with grilled chicken and avocado, no dressing, so I behaved myself. Then vegetarian chili (Moosewood fiesta chili) for dinner. Good day.
01/10 - 192.2
Another morning with no change after a day of responsible eating. It has to budge sometime!
01/11 - 192.2
I had a mini binge last night, but am back on track this morning. Yesterday wasn’t a complete mess though—I had lots of protein, no saturated fat, and lower carbs than usual. For a while I’ve been having one slice of Dave’s Killer Bread thin sliced with a Tbs of fruit-only spread for breakfast, but I’m stopping that, starting this morning with an over-easy egg cooked with 0 calorie avocado oil spray. It was delicious, and makes me feel the day isn’t already wasted. 😊

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.
01/11 - 174.2 the scale finally figured out I baked. Lol. Ate very well yesterday. Busy running errands cause the frigid weather is headed our way and we don't know how to handle it, so no walk. Good Sleep still evades me.
01/12 - 175, ate well, no exercise. Slept better

01/12 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) Still no scale delivery today but I usually don’t weigh in on Fridays anyway due to the school bus and the fosamax with water. We are expecting approx 24” of total snow today and tomorrow. Schools are closing early today as it will be getting started by 3:00. I’ll be getting lots of shoveling in along with my son’s help but I have to be careful since the ticker is not as healthy as it used to be.

1/12. 134.8. I wasn’t expecting to drop into the 134’s this week! And I’m sure there will be some 135’s before it becomes more solid… but 💃💃💃💃!!!! Now I have a snowy/icy weekend to get through, where walks will be more creative.
Good luck to everyone who is dealing with ice, snow, wind or flooding. There is definitely lots happening with all this winter weather.

1/7: 205.9
1/8: 205.6 (-0.3) good diet day, bad exercise. Planning to sort both out today!
1/9 206.8 (+1.2) new scales so that may account for more accuracy as the exercise and diet couldn’t have been a whole lot better. Bigger push today!
1/10 205.9 (-0.9) back to the old scales! Are more (albeit all good stuff) and didn’t get nearly as much exercise so I presume the loss today is a delayed benefit of the efforts of 1/8 at the gym! Definitely hit the wall on that initial blast but feeling really good and motivated to keep on keeping on.
1/11 205.4 (-0.5) hoped for more to be honest! Made it a significant calorie deficit day yesterday with three hours of tennis so only dropping half a pound is a little disappointing.
1/12 203.9 (-1.5) that’s more like it! Doubled down on the focus and discipline and it paid dividends! Getting closer by the day to the first hurdle of <200!

@itladyee Thank you for the welcome back. Good to see you are still here. I am trying higher calories too this time round. I am hoping it will mean I will be more consistent. I must admit I don't really look at the macros. I keep an eye on my calcium and iron intake though (outside of mfp). I probably should care more about my protein goals. I might keep an eye on that now too.6

I need to come back here. I have gained 7 pounds since I stopped in round 239. I think staying accountable is key to helping me lose weight. My main focus is to only have 3 meals per day. I am finding it easier to not obsess over food if I don't have snacks but have bigger meals. I am also practising slowing down my eating which helps my brain register that I have eaten. I am aiming to take at least 20 minutes to finish each meal. I have also given up milky coffee which I think was suppressing my hunger for a short time but led to me being hungry after an hour or so. I only drink black tea now. Kudos to all those familiar faces who consistently show up here. You are all an inspiration!

1/7- DNW - completely forgot to weigh 😯- got up and got out the door before I realized I never weighed. Probably just as well - attended a late Xmas party and was not great with my food choices - this is going to be a tough week for me. Both my daughter’s and my birthday this week - so lots of going out and celebrating. Winter Warrior Challenge Day #7 - 3 miles - walked today to give my legs a break. 24 days to go
1/8 - DNW - chaotic morning - first day back to school for my kids after two weeks off and the morning did not go as planned. Was all the way to work before I realized I never weighed in (again 🙁) Winter Warrior Challenge Day #8 - 3 miles
1/9- 154.4 - Winter Warrior Challenge Day #9 - the first day it has actually been “winter” since the challenge began - heavy snow, gusting winds, temps 31 degrees F, feels like 20 - “looking forward” to the same tomorrow
1/10- 153.9 happy birthday to me! Excited to see a loss on my bday….going out to dinner to celebrate tonight so hopefully won't give it all back tomorrow. Winter Warrior Challenge Day #10 - 3 miles in the cold and snow + strength training with personal trainer. Need to get more serious about the strength training. I know I need it to build muscle and help weight loss and prevent running injuries…I just do not enjoy it so it is very much a chore to make myself do it. I won't get the results I want if I don't do the work 🥴
1/11 - 154.1 - Winter Warrior Challenge Day #12 - was feeling very worn down so walked 3 miles instead of running. Running in snow the past 2 days really wore me out. Need to prepare to run in the snow for the next few days as well
1/12 - 153.5 - very exciting to see the trend - feel like holding myself accountable EVERY day is helping me stay on track. Consistency and logging are key!!! Winter Warrior Challenge Day #12 - 3 miles - ran on clear pavement awaiting the arrival of Snowstorm Gerri.

SW RND 247
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.
1/11 237 Boy this round is all over the place. Last night I got home late as we're under an extreme cold warning, got snow, and the commute was long. So, I did miss my workout. I have therapy after work today so it'll be another long day out of the house with windchills that feel like -40C. Yikes!
1/12 234.8 Working from home today but we do have to go out tonight to curl. I am planning to eat at home so I don't eat restaurant food. There will be some beer that I'll plan for.

@quiltingjaine
I’ve been a mammo tech for quite a few years and work with ladies of all walks of life. It’s difficult for ladies without spinal fusion or range of motion limiting arthritis to hold the positions for optimal images. I’m sorry you had a negative experience. I try to let my patients know we’ll get the best images that we can.
I suspect it was the angled “side” views (called MLO views) that were extremely hard on your back. Maybe next year your tech can increase the angle up to 60 degrees. It might make the positioning a little bit easier for you.
The upright, frontal views are hard on the neck because of the rotation of the head. The only thing I’ve found helpful for me is to massage and stretch my neck muscles and loosen everything up as much as possible.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.
