ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 192.2
10/23 -192.0- (Trend weight -192.4-)
10/24 -191.0- (Trend weight -192.3-)
10/25 -DNW- (Trend weight -DNW-)
10/26 -191.6- (Trend weight -192.1-) I just realized (it just dawned on me) that I usually do well at home because I don’t usually keep anything tempting or off-plan in the house. Not because I choose to make good choices or I practice good portion control when I have treats. This is very likely why I always gain when I am out of my “safe zone” and in restaurants or other social situations. I can already see that maintenance would be a disaster, if I ever even get there. I’m not trying to be gloomy or pitiful. Just honest. It’s always a challenge on weekends when my daughter is here but this weekend was a little worse with Real Junk such as Halloween (orange centered) Oreos and such. Honestly, I can’t expect that others around me like my DS or DGS or DD never get treats or holiday festive foods just because I’m on a diet, or even because I am a diabetic. I’ve truly got to learn self-control and how to make good choices for Me, no matter what everyone else is having. I haven’t even COME CLOSE to learning any of that yet. I really had a moment of clarity this morning on this. It doesn’t make things easier in knowing this, in fact, it may even make things worse as it is not up to me to deny anyone around me anything. That includes my 100 lb soaking wet daughter who knows how to take one mini Reeces and then stop. It’s not anyone else’s fault I eat them by the handfuls if I’m going to eat them at all. Not their fault I haven’t learned self-control even at the age of 64! I’ve got such a long long road ahead but I hope to approach it with a different attitude going forward. I am going to start researching on how to look at food differently etc. It really does all start and end with me and should have nothing to do with what is going on around me!
10/27 -191.6- (Trend weight-192.1-) No progress since yesterday likely due to the extra meal I threw in last night at about 10:30 pm. A turkey and avocado sandwich on low carb / low calorie bread. It was “approved” food but put me over my calorie and carb limit so I’m grateful for no big jump on the scale. Today my son & I will go out-of-town to pick up things for the grandchildren’s “special” Halloween goodie bags. There is a new restaurant that folks are raving about that we will try later for dinner that is just a little further Southeast of that town. I will try to order responsibly and Certainly No Dessert! However, I will still expect a bump up tomorrow due to fluid retention. Not just from the restaurant meal but from all the sitting too. I have circulation problems which causes the fluids to pool around my ankles and not get pushed out easily. I’ll work on that issue tomorrow when I’m home. Have a great Sunday everyone!

@deepwoodslady Donna, I don’t agree that it is all on you. Your ADULT daughter knows your health issues and should be trying to help you since you are providing a half time home to her and her child. JMHO6

@quiltingjaine You are definitely right that she could keep it away from me better and even stop tempting me, which she does at times. Very very true. But temptations are all around me, everywhere I go and I've got to learn to break this addiction to certain foods. I need to make better choices and always make sure they are best for me. There will always be a Brittany somewhere in my path and it absolutely shouldn't change my goals. But you are right in that the people who care the most for me should help me, not do things that can hurt. Especially when I am not as accomplished as I should be in taking good care of myself. You don't give a drug addict who truly wants to get clean any drugs. I get it and I agree with that.4 -
Oh dear - started well and then had a meal provided for me and that had a bad result and sent me off the wagon! I wasn’t going to carry on, and have completely blown it since but
Hello @Rigibann - don’t leave us because of a bad result. We’re here to listen to you and try to help you in your journey to a healthier weight. If you look at the spoiler on my post you will see that my “back slide” is about +20#. I DO attribute it to lots of stress but I still need to get EVERYTHING back in control. Hang in here with us, PLEASE.5 -

10/23 134.0 @5:30am Community Bingo tonight
10/24 133.5 Amazed since bingo dinner was a 4” section of sub. I pulled out all of the soft bread and ate the crusts with the turkey, roast beef, cheese and tomato. Added 1/2 T mayo. Skipped the potato salad and watermelon. Got up early to make blueberry muffins for the guys who drink coffee at the clubhouse. DH’s suggestion since we are going to drown in sourdough starter “discard.”
10/25 134.5 I can NOT keep baked goods in the house! They leap into my mouth when I walk by!!! I got over 8 hours sleep last night and I’m dragging. Hope I’m not getting what DH has!
10/26 134.5 (I think) Got reasonable sleep (7.5 hr) slight headache and my throat feels funny
10/27 134.5 Slept well last night, my throat is fine. (Thank you, @blueberries59) DH is being good about using his nebulizer and taking meds. He went over to play poker yesterday-an indicator that he is feeling better.2 -
What an awful night - my hubby was very restless and got up which totally disturbed me and I just could not get back to sleep, so not only losing an hour because the clocks went back in the U.K. I hardly slept at all - completely shattered today, no energy - surely tomorrow will be a better day 🙇🏼♀️

It’s about progress over time, not perfection. As @quiltingjaine said we all fall down in our efforts. Please keep at it. It’s all about the long game and you are worth it.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 276 (my 206th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.
This round sees no planned travel, so is a good opportunity to have the most perfect round, want to stay strong & make the round a successful one.
Goals for this round;
• First and foremost, no feeding frenzies
• to weigh less at the end of the round than the start
• be happy because I feel that I have made the round count at the end
I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.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.***
Updated 20.08.24 – I met up with youngest DB, first time after his DP passed away at the way too early age of 46. DB lives a long way from us, we see him very infrequently & is very introvert, so not a sharer of info 😞. However, he finally opened up to me, it seems that his DPs bad health leading to heart failure followed by kidney, liver failure & then a massive stroke, was originally caused by heavy drinking. By the time he realised he was abusing his body and went teetotal, the damage was too late to reverse. He was on the list for a heart transplant, but his other organs gave up before one became available.
This has made me think about how I am abusing my body when I have binges with way too much sugar, fat & salt. I know I am a food addict. I'm going to try to think about this when I am tempted to overindulge, I need to start respecting my body more and think about whether I want to be in the best health I can be. My body has served me so well for 66 years, it deserves to be given the best chance to keep serving me well & I've been really lucky that life has not dealt me a raw health deal, so I must not jeopardize that luck.

10/23 142.4 – 7.52 miles walked. Good start to the round, back to weight when I left for Turkey.
10/24 141 – 11 miles walked. Pleased with this woosh, just shows what sticking to the plan does.
10/25 141 – 9.82 miles walked, & the whoosh stuck !
10/26 141 – 7.96 miles walked.
10/27 141.8 – (trend 142.1) Guessing this is yesterday’s pizza night with the extra sodium & carbs even though calories were on point. Walked an amazing 13.45 miles. The start was at the Pontcysyllte Aquaduct; where very atmospheric mist hung around the hills. Which as we walked along the Llangollen canal, quickly burnt off and became warm autumn sunshine. This l showed up well at the Horseshoe Falls that we reached, before we walked back.
10/28 141.4 – (trend 142) 8.34 miles walked.

10/28- 173.0 now to make this round a beautiful little curve. In my head a crisp apple with a little sharp cheddar sounded like an ideal snack. That turned into cheesy toast and an apple with peanut butter. Totally fine until I did that three times yesterday!!!!
I was a success at not eating late.
I’m just this pit of hunger. I am trying to be gentle on myself but also trying to figure out how to move forward without being overly restrictive or too permissive. lol I’m parenting my food addiction!8 -

About Me & R276 Commitments:
********************************F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean P:E (ProteinG> (Cg+Fg) A clean/whole food WOE- (🚫processed foods). Track macros, all fitness and NSVs. I’ve had an unhealthy relationship with food my entire life.
HW 172lbs in 2010. Lost 30lbs in 2014. Crazy🎢 for 10years. Joined JGMTD R231 7/31/23. Lost 15lbs 8/1 -11/23. Said goodbye FOREVER to the 🎢! I’ve named my maintenance journey “#HSF” & “Healthy Strong Fit” on my way to
📣#bestshapeofmylife
👇🏻Oct Level Up (Down) Plan
***************************
I pledge to prioritize each of these #HSF choices EVERY DAY of Oct:
1. P:E: Protein g greater than 1:1 vs. Energy g. [Pg > (Cg+Fg)] (and cals = avg. maintenance).I will continue this nutrition plan. It is supposed to support muscle gain with fat loss while 🏋🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️ ⏱️🎾. I will continue to track NSVs/macros/ activities, etc. to learn about my body.
2. 🙏📝📚🧐 - I will continue to pray, journal, research. This is my aspect of “leveling up” because I am nothing without my relationship w/Jesus Christ. I’ve also grown into loving/enjoying learning about my body & healthy aging. Replacing BAD habits w/ GOOD habits is a journey in itself. This practice helps me stay present /mindful of many decisions/ thoughts/ actions that impact not only nutrition, but improves self-talk & interactions w/others.
3. 🏋🏼♀️this is my biggest challenge. I still don’t like it. Not one bit. I have some days that it clicks, but it’s a daily struggle. Living “fake it till I make it”… Faking my “identity”. My hope is that some 🏋️♀️version eventually becomes a healthy habit. I’m working on a minimum of 10-minute “🏋🏼♀️snacks” 2-3x per day, 6x per round. Gosh, how I wish someone, ANYONE would have told me in my earlier years that 🏋🏼♀️is the key to fat-loss / maintaining - NOT cardio. I was brainwashed.
4. Healthy Aging - includes mobility, flexibility, balance and agility. While I do stretch every morning plus “stretch snacks”… I want to up this game… I added ⏱️“sprints” (which is NOW only fast jogging… 😂) and plyometrics (celebrating a 2” vertical jump) 😂. I read to “sprint” is vital as we age…..
5. I have much “work” to do with family relationships. Won’t detail here, but it’s a challenge & my overall health will not flourish without this being acknowledged and improved. Mind, body & spirit are connected. I won’t be fully content until I reconcile this part of my life.
6. Sleep- This is a big one. I’m usually fast asleep by 8:30-9PM. I can’t stay up later…. I love getting up early. I’m good with a 5AM wake up but I want to sleep soundly through the night. Will continue to prioritize this key component to health and well-being…
7. Have fun… lighten up … & give myself permission to be spontaneous. (This is THE HARDEST)!!!!

******************
1. ✅HSF: Avg. close to 9k steps per day for 12+ mos. Not bad. It’s no longer a “daily goal” because it’s now a daily healthy habit - #HSF 👏🏻🤩
2. ✅#HSF: 🙆♀️ Daily stretch greatly improving my attitude & confidence.
3. ✅ #HSF 📝 🙏 everyday
4. ✅#HSF: I play 🎾about 4-5x per week.
5. ✅#HSF : Z2 💕avg 60 min/day
6. ✅#HSF : zero to 15g of net carbs/ day
7. ✅Clean P:E 110-125g Protein
8. ✅#HSF Naturally IF 18/6. Eating window=noon to 6PM. (At least 5 days/wk)
9. ✅#HSF 💦70-80oz daily
10. ✅#HSF Alcohol limited to rare occasions.
11. 💤 7 to 8 hours sleep per night is a goal. Sleep is still inconsistent the last few rounds…
Staying in the present moment is key to mental health and healthy choices.
Rotating 115g to 125g of protein per day is now a non-negotiable. In my dreams, I want to be 128- 130lbs #HSF … 😎 I want to be Healthy, Strong & Fit to live out “Chapter 3” enjoying a full range of mobility, flexibility & activities… !

I pre-tracked protein shake then forgot it. Quite easy to fall under protein. Solid day but was still sore from previous day so took it easy. Today will be another “physical” day with 🏋️♀️⏱️.
This round I got hung up on the daily scale, somewhat… vs the process. I decided to fast and that threw me off my plan to build muscle. In reality, the “daily” scale should not be a “priority” if I am focusing to lose fat / gain muscle. My body fluctuates. A LOT. It still bothers me if it ticks up, but of course, not if it ticks down. I am getting better to not let the scale rule my day… But I cannot deny that it certainly impacts my mood, however nuanced. I should know better! I’m thinking next round, I’ll weigh every three days to see how that shift impacts my mood/ determination & self discipline. I remember when I first started JGMTD that I weighed every three days… perhaps best for me? Onward!

10/23 130.2 Overboard on protein yesterday. I strained a quadricep playing tennis so 🚫🏋️♀️after. Will nurse it today. Gosh, I wrote out my goals yesterday for this round, so I hope I don’t need to adjust Looking forward to a good day of rest, walking, and maybe some 🏋️♀️upper body.
10/24 🚶♀️11k 🏋️♀️10min 📚💤8hrs 💦P:E .9, P88g (missed Protein goal)
Quadricep still painful but walked anyway. Better today. 🏋️♀️brief upper body. (Did skull crushers which are NOT my fav because I’m always afraid I’m going to crush my skull). Feeling those puppies this morn!
Today – 🏋️♀️30 min & 🚶♀️. Rest quad one more day. DGS this afternoon & Mexican with the ladies this eve. Will order ceviche! Wont adjust my R276 activity goals downward because I pledge to catch up.
NSV: Went shopping yesterday and purchased a skirt, pants and a couple of tops…. SIZE…. SMALL! (Size 6). TBH I could’ve purchased the 4, but I wasn’t 100% confident I would stay “here” I gave myself a little wiggle room. Plus, I’m not 30! Felt really good tho! I know many of us have yo-yoed throughout the years (owning multiple, MULTIPLE clothes sizes: me: sizes 2-14) so purchases on the lower-end can be daunting… But I went for it yesterday.

Did not track Mexican dinner. Had shrimp Fajitas/requested “no oil” and just a few chips. One mezcal /lime juice. I consider that a victory. Surprisingly, pretty good sleep last night.
Attempting a little tennis this morning. I think my quad is back almost 95%. Will hit other goals except holding off on ⏱️ one more day. Happy weekend!
10/26 ⚖️132.0 💤 7hrs 🚶♀️8k 🏋️♀️10min 💦 P:E .80 (Tiramisu); Pg 100 🎾 2hrs
We ate late again last night… The last night out with the “Birthday 🎂” mindset. Had a wonderful time! ⚖️ - no doubt this reflects the late nite. I chose wisely but then…. split a tiramisu with hubby. And actually, it was the BEST tiramisu I’ve ever had!
Felt good to get out on the tennis court again however, my quad is definitely not fully healed. Will take the weekend off … and will plan my fuel accordingly. ⏱️ goals are at risk this round. 😳😢
DGS soccer today and 🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️!
I have to force myself to 🏋️♀️!

Travel day yesterday along with travel food.
Trip to Boone, NC for the wedding was good. We saw the tip of the iceberg regarding damage, but I was encouraged by what I saw happening. People are resilient.
On the way home we stopped for a couple days at New River Gorge National Park in West Virginia. Stunning beauty. Fall color.
We return with a lot of yard work to get done. Lawn is covered in leaves. Should be home for this entire round so time to make a dent in it. I can’t wrap my head around November being a part of this round.

Bad social day yesterday. Lots of salt, and food, and no TMI.

SW RND 276 - October 22nd, 2024 - 232.6 lbs
10/23: 231.8 lbs (Yesterday was a 500-calorie 'fast day')
10/24: 232.6 lbs (I guess the half-bottle of white wine and 4 cheddar rice cakes - and not enough water - were the culprits!)
10/25: 230.8 lbs (Yesterday, was a total fast day - except for morning coffee and unsweetened herbal tea. It was easy doing the fast, as I got totally agitated with my food delivery person who totally flaked out with my grocery order and I ended up in a fight with the supermarket! So I didn't feel like eating! I think all the aggravation burned extra calories. Problem was resolved in my favor, eventually.)
10/26: 229.8 lbs (Yesterday I was tired physically and took TWO naps during the day... but managed to "trudge" through 2 hours of peddling, but with four breaks inbetween. Found out I have a new vegetable I HATE, and threw away! Edamame, which are young soybeans.)
10/27: 229.2 lbs (More energy yesterday for peddling. Yesterday, I cooked a HUGE new VAT of cabbage soup. Hoping I can make room for at least 4 quart containers in my freezers. In any case, I'll be eating A LOT of cabbage soup this coming week! LOL)
10/28: 229.4 lbs (Two big bowls of cabbage soup yesterday! LOL Wondering how many of you went on the "cabbage soup diet" which was all the craze some years back???)

I'm Julie, 36, 5'3. SAHM to twin toddlers.
SW RND 276: 152.1
10/23: 152.6: It was a good day. 2 short outside walks, 1 treadmill walk. Still don't feel like my hip is up for running. Food was decent, with the exception of some extra white cheddar popcorn that was not needed.
10/24: 152.2. Eating was okay, but I went over on calories due to a larger snack than I was anticipating. I did my walking, both outside and on treadmill.
10/25: 152.6. I would love to be firmly under 152 by the end of this round. I'm happy I'm relatively stable and not gaining, but it's time to see some more progress.
10/26: 154.4. A lot of bad decisions yesterday. But I did do lots of walking.
10/27: 155.5. I played pool with some friends yesterday. That, of course, included a few beers. Add in some fast food, and I'm not surprised with the high weight. I'm getting back to it today and hopefully some of this excess weight will fall off quickly.
10/28: 154.9. I did pretty good yesterday. Did some walking, ate well. Hopefully the rest of the Friday/Saturday indulging weight falls off soon.

@Rigibann: One of the best things in this group for me has been learning to be kind to myself, and applying that to all aspects of myself, especially the shape of my body. You're working to take better care of yourself, that's what it's about. Stick with us- and with yourself.
As @Skyleen75 said so perfectly:
" I am trying to be gentle on myself but also trying to figure out how to move forward without being overly restrictive or too permissive. lol I’m parenting my food addiction!"
I love this.3 -

I joined this group in Rnd 245 on Dec 18 2023, when I realized I was eating my way through the holidays; I finally got on the scale and was hovering just under 150 lbs. It took about 4 months to reach my goal weight of 125. Sounds great, but I’ve done this before, which is why I’m still here.
It’s not just about losing, it’s about changing the habits of a lifetime that keep me stuck in self-defeating cycles with food.

10/28: not sure just how accurate this is, but it's really funny figuring out how to stand on the scale, clothing free, between the desk, dresser and a wall and balance without crutches long enough for the scale to calibrate and settle in.
When this is over, maybe I should use crutches with my right foot down to even myself out...?
maybe not.7 -

10/23-164-Quilting at my house tomorrow, so getting it ready today. Dusted and swept and minor details today.
10/24–164-Quilting gals coming here today then guild meeting tonight. Hopefully I can get some sort of a walk in.
10/28-165-Hoping to get a good start since it’s Monday. I’ve been listening to The Plant Paradox and it is very interesting and makes sense. It’s basically avoiding lectins, sugar and eating organic. I’ve been incorporating kefir into each day. I absolutely have got to work in a walk today.6 -
Hi, I'm Charissa, back for another round. I will keep coming back and I will get this thing right, sooner or later.
Thank you, QuiltingJaine, for keeping us focused in 2024!

🏋🏾♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
Eat well 🥗to Live Well 🚢✈️🧳

Thank you all for the lovely comments and warm wishes regarding my new grandson, André. They are all back home and settling in nicely. Now to get my focus back🙂
@judefit1 ~ I only had one child so I can't say from personal experience but I'm thinking it's going to be quite a change for ALL involved. Julian is 4 and he's at the stage of challenging everything, wanting to do everything on his own and physically bouncing around like a jumping bean. I also love your feedback on crutches at 67. All the things we take for granted!
@Blueberries59 ~ I did have fun with André's big brother Julian, but it was exhausting being on call every waking hour.
@quiltingjaine ~ I now have a visual of baked goods leaping into your mouth as you walk by🙂
Happy Belated Birthday @SModa61
@rigibann ~ Continue on! Don't let a few "off" days totally derail you. You've got this and can still recover by the end of the round!
@leigh_b ~ glad you're finally over Covid

My old WW coach pointed out that between weekends, holidays, birthdays, and work events, etc., more than one third of our days are beyond the ordinary, giving us a reason to celebrate. We must learn how to deal with this and be flexible enough to enjoy these moments in life, yet responsible at the same time. If we remain too rigid and unyielding, denying the social norms of sharing food, we will surely fail in our goals. And yet we must be selective. Holidays and birthdays are generally one single day, not a season. I think our families get mixed messages because they see both sides. And they see our total melt downs. They need guidelines. I told DH he was in charge of Halloween candy. I am strong enough to not buy it in the store, but I might eat the whole bag of candy if I find it in my house unattended. Yes, I will celebrate and share a piece of candy with DGS on Halloween, but I don't want the temptation leading up to that moment. After all, if we were not weak and struggling with the abundance of food in our lives, we'd be at normal weight and not posting on this site. Admitting this to our families, asking for their help, is a sign of our feeble but growing power to improve our lives.4

10/23 134.0 @5:30am Community Bingo tonight
10/24 133.5 Amazed since bingo dinner was a 4” section of sub. I pulled out all of the soft bread and ate the crusts with the turkey, roast beef, cheese and tomato. Added 1/2 T mayo. Skipped the potato salad and watermelon. Got up early to make blueberry muffins for the guys who drink coffee at the clubhouse. DH’s suggestion since we are going to drown in sourdough starter “discard.”
10/25 134.5 I can NOT keep baked goods in the house! They leap into my mouth when I walk by!!! I got over 8 hours sleep last night and I’m dragging. Hope I’m not getting what DH has!
10/26 134.5 (I think) Got reasonable sleep (7.5 hr) slight headache and my throat feels funny
10/27 134.5 Slept well last night, my throat is fine. DH is being good about using his nebulizer and taking meds. He went over to play poker yesterday-an indicator that he is feeling better.
10/28 134.5 Meeting across town today Yesterday I sliced the remaining bread and froze it with parchment in between the slices and I made a batch of waffles and put them in the freezer. Feeling quite proud of myself at the moment. LOL5 -
I missed a couple days here and had a lot to catch up on!
@itladyee congrats on the DGS! Beautiful name for a beautiful babe!
@smoda61 happy belated birthday!
@blueberries59 That is huge – more than one third! That’s true, I always try to see how many weekends are in a round before I set my goals because I always, always backslide.
