    This looks like a great challenge and group. Do I post a reply each day with my weight or at the end of the 10 days?

    πŸ‘πŸ‘This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE

    Got permission to modify the challenge for fasting and physical activity. Thanks! @quiltingjaine

    STARTING FAST TIME: 7:02PM EST (started at 5:50PM EST, but didn't start fasting timer until 7:02)
    FASTING GOAL: 72H, Then 20:3
    ACTIVITY GOAL: 5-minute core workout, 1 hour workout for 8 days

    CAUTION FOR FASTING: I live a zero to minuscule carb life that helps with fasting. Taking in healthy-high calorie-nutrient dense meals and being well hydrated before a fast is important⚠️

    RND 278 (1)

    11/12 COREβœ… WORKOUT 1/8βœ… Maintain 72 hour fast βœ…
    11/13 COREβœ… WORKOUT 2/8βœ… Maintain 72 hour fast βœ… - Felt some hunger for a very short time while studying, then it went away. Was able to study efficiently with mind clarity. Consumed nothing but water yesterday (forgot to make notes yesterday). Today I had some tea with lemon juice. There are studies showing that lemon juice doesn’t break a fast why I add it to tea. It's good for vitamin C and masks the flavor of some herbal teas. If anyone is wondering the hunger went away before I had tea :) I drink tea regularly for health benefits. I try to drink it daily and missed yesterday.

    Fell off the challenge bandwagon in round 256, managed to keep losing weight until June 12th when I hit 155.9 (70.7 kg). I fell off the weight loss wagon shortly after. Decided yesterday to start back up and it was perfect timing with a new round starting today.

    11/12- 166 (75.3) Stayed within my goals today. Off to a good start.
    11/13- 163.8 (74.3) Water weight whoosh. If I end the round at this weight or close to it, I will be quite pleased.

    I enjoy reading everyone’s posts with my morning coffee.

    Highest weight 242 lbs
    Lowest weight 142 lbs (2019)
    Re-start JGMTD Feb 2024 @ 204 lbs

    Round 277 End Weight 170.6

    11/12- 170.0
    11/13- 169.8
    11/14- 171.0 About time I saw a little bounce up. I have lots of theories from TOM hormones to my swole muscles but I think it’s a lot the giant bowl of cereal I ate right before bed. Also bodies are just weird and my weight has the persona of a dramatic teen ager.
    I’ve had a good run on this last whoosh and nothing is more motivating for me than seeing results.
    Now I have to stay consistent even when I’m not getting a dose of positive reinforcement on the scale.
    TOM hormone theory is probably most accurate so I have to be really aware of emotional eating, stressing over little things and negative self talk.
    I can hold the line through this round.

    Jude, 5’-2”, 67 YO
    HW 165
    CW: 125ish
    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.

    11/14: seemingly stable on the scale, so not worried about the fluctuations. I got through that first post-op self-pity without throwing my new food routine out the window, and that's a big deal. 4 weeks post surgery and my foot feels better every day. I'm getting better at navigating the stairs on my butt, but still sleeping in the guest room.
    Things I miss: 1. driving myself where I want to go; 2: my bed; 3. the gym; 4. normal pants.
    Things to look forward to: 1. feet not hurting; 2. new shoes; 3. being on 2 feet for the holidays.

    About Me & R278 Commitments:
    ********************************
    F66, 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 to 128lbs. 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 β€œ#HSF” & β€œHealthy Strong Fit” on my way to
    πŸ“£#bestshapeofmylife

    πŸ‘‡πŸ»Nov Level Up (Down) Plan
    ***************************
    I pledge to prioritize each of these #HSF choices EVERY DAY of Nov:

    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 πŸ‹πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ€ΈπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ ⏱️🎾. I will continue to track NSVs/macros/ activities, etc. to learn about my body.
    2. πŸ™πŸ“πŸ“šπŸ§ - I will continue to pray, journal, research. This is my aspect of β€œleveling 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. πŸ‹πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ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 β€œfake it till I make it”… Faking my β€œidentity”. My hope is that some πŸ‹οΈβ€β™€οΈversion eventually becomes a healthy habit. I’m working on a minimum of 10-minute β€œπŸ‹πŸΌβ€β™€οΈsnacks” 2-3x per day, 5x per round. Gosh, how I wish someone, ANYONE would have told me in my earlier years that πŸ‹πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ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 β€œstretch snacks”… I want to up this game… I added β±οΈβ€œsprints” (which is NOW only fast jogging… πŸ˜‚) and plyometrics (celebrating a 2” vertical jump) πŸ˜‚. I read to β€œsprint” is vital as we age…..
    5. I have much β€œwork” 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)!!!!

    πŸ‘‡πŸ»Review since my 1st R231 7/31/23 NSVs/Journey Reflections
    ******************

    1. βœ…HSF: Avg. close to 9k steps per day for 12+ mos. Not bad. It’s no longer a β€œdaily goal” because it’s now a daily healthy habit - #HSF πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ€©
    2. βœ…#HSF: πŸ™†β€β™€οΈ Daily stretch greatly improving my attitude & confidence.
    3. βœ… #HSF πŸ“ πŸ™ everyday
    4. βœ…#HSF: I play 🎾about 4-5x per week.
    5. βœ…#HSF : Z2 πŸ’•avg 60 min/day
    6. βœ…#HSF : zero to 15g of net carbs/ day
    7. βœ…Clean P:E 110-125g Protein
    8. βœ…#HSF Naturally IF 18/6. Eating window=noon to 6PM. (At least 5 days/wk)
    9. βœ…#HSF πŸ’¦70-80oz daily
    10. βœ…#HSF Alcohol limited to rare occasions.
    11. πŸ’€ 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 β€œChapter 3” enjoying a full range of mobility, flexibility & activities… !
