Day/Weight/Comment
02/15 …..178.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

02/16 -178.2- (Trend weight 180.7) I am pleasantly surprised at this little bump down on the scale. I ate one of my pre-planned higher calorie days yesterday so I thought it would be the opposite. I think freshly cooked homemade unprocessed food made the difference. Good luck everyone this round. Let’s make this round full of successes!

It's been a while since I've been here, but decided to focus on weight loss again and this has always been a helpful tool for me. Lost 30 pounds last spring. then gained a few of those back. Have kept up my daily walks, but need to concentrate on nutrition.

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

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

Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

Hi again all

Thanks for another round, Jaine!

I'm Amanda, 5'2", 37F in Virginia.

SW RND 251: 133.6 I think?
GW Round 251: 131.6
Non-scale goals:
Exercise 9/10 days
64oz water per day

2/16 - 132.6. Happy with that! I always bottom out on Fridays, self-sabotage over the weekend, then spend the whole week getting back down to what I was the previous Friday, rinse and repeat. This weekend will be particularly tough. My youngest is turning 3 on Sunday. There is a party tomorrow with cupcakes and then a family party on Sunday with cake. I can probably resist the store-bought cupcakes tomorrow but I have no plans to resist my own homemade cake

Just hoping for no leftovers!

Day, Weight, Comment
02/16 - 151.1 - I'm still quite sore so I'm happy to have dropped this much. Workout done this morning, have a plan and path forward with a chiropractor (who also has my same injury/metal), and meals planned for next week. I need to make my grocery list but I can't go shopping until Sunday so I have time. Tomorrow I'm planning a longer run. I need to aim for 3.5 or more miles if I have any hope of making it to 6 miles by April with only 1-2 days a week I can reliably run. Feeling good about progress, though!

~ I have been snacking on the zero sugar candies my husband gave me for Valentine’s Day… but only 4 pieces at a time and I’ll eat them with a Tbs of JIF no sugar peanut butter. It hit the spot but it is the only processed food “splurge” I’ve been having lately. So the scale made sense today!

Hi, I'm Charissa

Thank you, @QuiltingJaine, for keeping us focused in 2024!
So here we go 2024... my motto -
🏋🏾‍♀️ Don't think, just do it!!

Goals this round:
- Tracking/Under Calorie Budget 🍎
- Macros - hit Protein ✅
- Water - 64oz minimum > trying hard for 80💧
- Closing my rings M-F🚶🏽

The critical rounds (last two) are over and I feel more in control after seeing the scale go down today after ticking upward and then staying there. I went up a total of 1.6 pounds over the last 2 rounds. Reinforcements: Alcohol kills weight loss and supports gains.

@CamandJarvis Will you continue your pattern of rotating daily low-carb/ higher carb consumption? How did you choose carb levels? I know you’re in the process of training, but I’m curious to the benefits… Thank you!

I followed with my parents - my dad has diabetes so he was told to go lower carb. They decided to start out at 50g net carbs every other day and slowly worked their way down to no more than 30g net carbs per day. We did the same.

Since I'm switching to a lower-carb paleo plan, I'll likely drop the every other day cycle. I'll base my carb intake on my workouts instead. Here's my thoughts on that:

Heavier lifting/long run days will allow me more carbs. On leg day and my longer runs (anything longer than say 4 miles) I will allow myself 100-150g net carbs MAXIMUM. They will be paleo-friendly so no processed foods, no breads/grains. Just lean meats, veg (including the starchy kinds like root veg or a sweet potato - no white potatoes), nuts and seeds. If I feel satisfied and eat enough (but not too much) and am lower than 100g net carbs, great! But since I'm using more "fuel" I'm okay with going a bit higher to allow my big heavy muscles do have the proper fuel to get me through the workout but also recover properly and build. This will be 1-2 days a week (Monday is leg day and Saturday/Sunday is long run, depending on weather and schedule)
My lighter lifting days or shorter run days (sub-4 mile distance) I will give myself max 100g net carbs but aiming for about 50g net with paleo-friendly options. These days I'll likely limit my intake of the starchy higher-carb root veg and focus more on the lower carb veg. This is where I really want my body to focus more on burning fat, hence aiming for 50g net while still doing weights (I can't lift as heavy with my arm as I can my legs. Even if the weights feel heavy during these "lighter lifts", it's smaller muscles and therefore requires less fuel). This will be 5-6 days a week (every day except leg day and any long runs I manage to get in on weekends)

I will be vaguely following this food pyramid. I have trouble digesting lactose so I'm limiting it as much as possible. Quinoa and wild rice are not in my plan - those are a rarity if I do include them at all

Chapter_3 · February 16

@camandjarvis
Thank you for your detailed response. You have a great plan!. My DH carb-cycles based on his 🚴‍♀️ schedule. He rides 3 to 4 times a week. He literally has zero fat to burn so loads his carbs accordingly …. I’ve been limiting carbs to 10g (not net) for several months now…. Hopefully burning fat. I take “perfect aminos” before/after workouts… I think it’s working ok, but only time will tell. Again, thank you!

RND 251 (my sixth)
SW (first round) 155.8
SW (this round) 153.1

2/16 - 152.3 - Totally fell off the wagon in the last round 🙁. I’ve been weighing but not logging or posting or really doing anything focused on eating well, staying hydrated and losing all these extra pounds I’m trying to give away. It’s been a stressful week which has resulted in a loss of focus, and loss of discipline and the scale going the wrong way - which proves (again) that planning and logging works. Making it up as I go and relying on myself to make good choices when under stress and time pressures NEVER works. It seems that is a lesson I needed to learn again this week. Ran 3.5 miles today. 10 miles planned for tomorrow. 14 weeks until marathon day.

Hey everyone, I'm Crystal! I did this challenge several years ago and loved it. Starting this challange again this round (Feb 16th). I started getting serious again about weight loss in October last year (2023). Counted calories, watched my sugar and carbs and did IF (16/8). I had already been doing the fasting part of it for over a year. Lost about 12-13 lbs by Christmas but hit a plateau so decided to give OMAD a try. Just started that Feb 5th. I eat my 1 meal at dinner time, anywhere between 5:30-7 pm. Allow myself a dessert an hr later, give or take and that is it until the next day. (Aside from coffee, which I refuse to give up in the mornings). Still following my macro goals as well. Looking forward to reading everyone's stories and tips/goals! ❤️

I’m a 65 year young Oregon gal, working to hit my next goal of 130. The plan this round continues to be a minimum of 10,000 steps 👣, 2-3 days a week at the gym🏋️‍♀️, logging ✏️ everyday with no snacking after 8:00, and limiting the 🍷to social events only. And of course guzzling the water 💧!!!

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 251 (my 181st). Thank you @quiltingjaine for keeping this going, so grateful.
Goals for this round; to lose! And to break the “always looking for something to put in my mouth” syndrome!
Good luck everyone for a successful round.

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.

2/17 144.4 – so there it is the weight at the end of the family holiday, luckily not too much of a hike and something to work at. We spent yesterday at National Trust property Errdig, DGC played in the woods, climbed the trees, balanced on the fallen trees, enjoyed the tree swing and after our picnic enjoyed toasting marshmallows before we all went our separate ways to travel home. A wonderful family week; it seemed really quiet when we got home !!

I’ve been slowly gaining 10lbs a year over the last few years. This challenge helped me stay focused in the past.

2/16- 194.4
2/17- 194.4 always ok with holding steady. Especially since outside of my morning workout I was stuck at my desk all day. More paperwork today. I abhor sitting at a desk doing paperwork, I’d literally rather be shoveling rocks into a wheelbarrow and pushing it uphill.
Heading to spin class to get my body moving first.

SW R251 131.0lbs
2/16 131.0lbs. It’s important to me to have a new focus every round. (Not just a continuation of the previous round). For 20 rounds now, I’ve viewed this time as “becoming” vs “being” I’m basically at my destination- so now what? I thought “maintenance” was just about maintaining weight but it’s actually LIVING a new daily life … I want this WOE to be who I am at my core. And, how do I live each day with everything in my life supporting that choice?!…. It’s pretty simple… If it doesn’t fit, get rid of it… And start something new… And LOVING IT!! 🍀to all! Let’s get it done!

2/17 Yesterday was another non-routine day. Started reading “Habit Mechanic”. A “how to” tool book/workbook combining behavioral science, neuroscience and psychology to identify unwanted habits and start new ones. If serious about weight loss, changing any aspect of your life & becoming the best version of yourself, I highly recommend it. Today will be another cold, wet, ugly day, … I’ll be able to get in 🙆‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼. Hope to 🚶‍♀️but the weather may not cooperate. Food is planned.
Also want to thank @quiltingjaine and @camandjarvis for your detailed, thoughtful responses. My thinking cap is on.

About Me & Health Journey
****************************

F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean Ketovore 🥩. Track macros, kcals, all exercise and NSVs. HW 172lbs in 2010.

I have ALWAYS been ON a “diet” since high school. I have never been comfortable with my body - no matter my weight.

Pre- college: 125-130lbs
College- 160lbs one year… graduated @130lbs.
1990 (Age 32) - Avg.135/140 lbs
2000 (Age 42) - Avg 145 lbs
2010 (Age 52) Avg 150, HW 172 lbs in 2010. 130 by end of 2014.
2020 (Age 62) 130-135lbs
7/2023 (Age 64) 145lbs
1/2024 (Age 65) 130lbs

UGW = 129-130lbs
⬆️SMM: 100lbs +
Initial BF% : 22%

Aug 14, 2014 @ 157lbs (down 15 from heaviest of 172lbs in 2010), I decided to take serious control of my health. I lost 30lbs by 11/15/2014. Weight @ 128-132lbs through the end of 2020. Five years!

Another 🎢 Roller Coaster Begins….

2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140 lbs. Always self-conscious.

8/1/ 2022 crept up to 142lbs.
Dropped to 128lbs again by 10/30 - held 130lbs till 2/1/23.

2023 Back ⬆️ 145lbs by July 15! 15lbs BOOM! Enjoyed eating & margaritas way too much. Nutrition has always been somewhat healthy BUT portion control is/was THE issue. Started tracking again 7/15/23. Joined “Just give me 10 days” R231 in beginning of 8/2023. Here we are @ 130ish determined to…. STOP the 🎢 & 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 be healthy & fit & maintain approx. 130lbs & IN SHAPE.

As I age it becomes much, MUCH more difficult to lose weight. I could lose 15lbs easy in 8 weeks up to 2022 ish … This is absolutely not true anymore.

While active with 🚶‍♀️& 🎾 it’s clear a ST 🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼routine was absent. Strength & balance are 💯most important now. Time to incorporate ST 🏋️‍♀️ 🙆‍♀️🤸🏼as my TRUE focus.

Cumulative Round Results
7/15/23 SW 145lbs
R231 - R 247, lost 15lbs to 130.
Avg loss 1lbs per Round. Painfully SLOW.
Jan/Feb: Ticked up to a steady 132ish. Happier@129-130.
(I was in “maintenance” for 4 to 6 weeks and it’s slowly ticked up.)

Let’s go!

I’m going to a friend’s this morning to knit, and she said she has treats, so I’m going to have to watch myself.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.
