I know what that feels like that friend ... not trying to compare, but when it happens to me.... its always distracted eating of my feelings. The longer I stay there, the worse it gets. I can only apply the reigns when I get my emotions back in check. Hope you're well. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}
@refactored I've learned from much trial and error, accountability (even if only to myself) by keeping my eyes on the prize is the only way I see consistent gains. It's so easy to over eat, not move enough, or just fall back into all the lazy health patterns the body's gotten used to. We have to be careful because fat likes friends! They'll have all these unwelcome guests laying around if we're not careful, lol
New habits need constant repetition. Staying focused, trying new things, evaluating, repeating or adjusting regularly will get us where we want to go. I believe in you friend ~ in all of us ... this is the year we hit those goals fitfam! Cheers to making it happen sooner rather than later.

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.
1/13 232.4 Stayed on plan not eating the restaurant food last night. Did have a bit more alcohol at home than planned and that led to some unplanned chips too. Overall so far this month I've drank on less days and that definitely helps. Today is a rest day at home.

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.
1/13: 139.0. I just have to laugh at the big swings. I had a couple of beers last night with some friends and ended the night with McDonalds. I started this morning with a 6 mile run. And today's my husband's birthday so we'll probably go out for dinner. I'll try to make good choices and hopefully this weight will come off quickly.

@jerier Thank you. It was actually the front facing shots that were the worst. It seems to me there ought to be some other way that doesn’t require you to be a contortionist. 😘3

I'm in for another round - will not be able to weigh for the first 8 days as we will be abroad on holiday, but I'll check in everyday.
65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 247 (my 177th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, as always, so grateful.
Goals for this round to, to stay strong through holiday, log food each day as best I can and try to not gain any weight.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 RND 247
1/7. DNW - 8.15 miles walked yesterday, a combination of around the airport before the flight and then around the resort after we arrived. I tried to keep sensible, and have tried to over estimate rather than under the meals prepared but by me, so reckon I was 500 calories over yesterday.
1/8 DNW - 10 .35 miles walked yesterday, wore different sandals and ended up with blisters on heels after 8 miles, luckily always carry plasters!! All but 89 calories eaten back.
1/9. DNW - 11.19 miles walked, all but 206 exercise calories eaten back.
1/10 DNW - 16.2 miles walked yesterday, 38,800 steps, 85% exercise calories eaten back.
1/11 DNW - 9.67 miles walked, all but 100 exercise calories eaten back.
1/12 DNW - 11.59 miles walked yesterday, 80% exercise calories eaten back. Saw this quote, it rang a chord with me!

1/12 133.5 Got the mammo but not the Dexa. I wish they had told me before to not take vitamins and calcium in the morning. They have never said that in the past. This they DIDN’T tell me to clean off deodorant but I hadn’t put any on in preparation. I’m so angry about that and the contortions the mammo tech tried to get me to do. She clearly didn’t understand that the rods in my back don’t bend and arthritis in my neck means I don’t have full ROM in my neck.

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. We are just getting over the last snow storm from a few days ago. I hope we do not lose power!
01/13 -182.0- (Trend weight 181.0) My scale arrived late yesterday afternoon after posting so I got it all set up, downloaded the app etc. It looks like I’m up about 2.2 lbs from my last known weight although that scale reading on the 8th may not have been accurate. My trend weight is slightly down. Gosh, I hate starting over with a different scale. The pressure was so bad thinking about it last night that I broke into the back of the freezer for some of that chocolate. I also ate dinner twice with 2 totally different foods. Self-sabotage. I noticed that this new scale has my weight at about what I would expect after a binge, but the fat percentage is WAY WAY higher on the new one. I guess I just have to lump it and start fresh from here. We got 15” of snow yesterday and overnight. At least 6 more expected today and more tomorrow too. We are all hunkered down. I have spent most of the morning shoveling. Tonight my foodie daughter, DGS, DS and myself will cook and have a nice hot dinner. I’ll be using the oven so it will help keep the house warm. Stay safe everyone!

Hi, I'm Charissa
Thank you, QuiltingJaine, for keeping us focused in 2024!
62 y/o female
OSW 2022-03 230.3
1SW 2023-01 221.8
1SW 2024-01 223.4
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.

1/11 217.4 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.

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!

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Hi @quiltingjaine !
Yes, For a long while I used the keto pee strips, and I found that they were pretty accurate (color code). A friend suggested the ketomojo meter for a more accurate read…, and I used it for the first time two days ago. I’ll probably test once per week. My reading was 2.6.

My Journey
Starting wt. 231lb. /Goal wt. 140lb.
Ending wt. last round ✴224 lb(Day 31) 01/07 ✴224 lb. ~ I stayed under my 1450 calorie goal, minimal exercise, and only 48oz water. It is better than yesterday, not as good as tomorrow.(Day 36) 01/12✴221.6 lb. ~ Not much to say tonight. Busy, busy at work. I met the water & calorie goals. Exercise goal UGH!,
(Day 32) 01/08 ✴224 lb. ~ I wish we could get a break in the weather; it’s rain, rain, and wind. My sister in Wyoming had 19 degrees – but it was sunny 😎! I’m not sure which I prefer. Hopefully, my scale will be here tomorrow. I weighed 4 times this morning and was 224, 227.9, 222.5, and 226.3. I don’t know what to believe. My waistline does feel smaller, but I’m not fitting into the next smaller size, Yet! I measure next weekend, and excitement abounds!
(Day 33) 01/09 ✴??? lb. ~I wish we could get a break in the weather; it’s rain, rain, and wind. It was 19 degrees where my sister lives (WY) – but it was sunny 😎! I’m not sure which I prefer. Hopefully, my scale will be here tomorrow. I weighed 4 times this morning and was 224, 227.9, 222.5, and 226.3. I don’t know what to believe. My waistline does feel smaller, but I’m not fitting into the next smaller size, Yet! I measure next weekend, and excitement abounds!
(Day 34) 01/10 ✴223.2 lb. ~The scale arrived today, but not until late afternoon. I normally work from home but needed to go into the office this morning, so I took the opportunity to use the scale there. We’ll see what tomorrow brings. Hopefully something closer to 222.0. Other than that, I braved the wind and got my steps in between rainstorms. Yea! It will probably be an early night tonight; I want to put the ice machine on my knee to ease the pain.
(Day 35) 01/11✴222.2 lb. ~ Today went a bit better than anticipated. The lower wt. on the scale was a nice surprise. I did well with healthy eating and staying under calories. I am still resting my leg, doing ‘RICE’, hoping for relief and that it will not sabotage the weight loss. I know how important exercise is to see results. Water is much better today, drinking it warm has helped. I’m 1 full month into this journey and have only dropped 10 lbs. For a heavy girl, I expected more than that. Yeesh!
(Day 37) 01/13✴219.1 lb. ~ A good day; I went over on calories, ate junk, and didn’t exercise. In my opinion, it is healthy to shock the body occasionally, so it doesn’t think it’s starving. It's nasty weather today, high winds, rain, and cold. We have ice on the windows from the freezing rain, it's unusual for here on the Oregon Coast. We get a rare snow, but the icicles are hanging off everything. It is so beautiful, oh and did I say beautiful? I haven’t seen an ice storm since we lived in Colorado or was it Ohio?.
(Day 38) 01/14✴??? lb. ~
(Day 39) 01/15✴??? lb. ~
(Day 40) 01/16✴??? lb. ~
Goals this Round:
Water 60oz+ each day ● Walking 30min 5 x a week ● Strength training 2 days a week ● Eating healthy, high protein & fiber, calorie limit of 1450.
