60+ Female using trend weight
I lost an average of 2.2 lbs last round. So one thing I will keep this round is keep my new calorie goal from last round. It seemed to work.
🐸I will keep the analogy of boiling frog in my head🐸

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 278 (my 208th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.
This round want to stay strong & make the round a successful one.
Goals for this round carried over from last;
• 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.

11/18 142.6 (trend 142.2) 7.18 miles walked, late lunch out with all siblings (apart from DB that lives in Turkey), made sensible choices, shared sweet with DS. Ate light the rest of the day, in fact only other food was breakfast and some fruit.

11/20 143.8 (trend 142.6) ughh! Just OMD yesterday, but that was a festive 3 course meal with invigiating colleagues, made lowest calorie choices & no alcohol, but still way over on calories & heavy snow falling meant no structured walking. And the snow has fallen again ☹, I’m going to try to get out to walk, but it depends on the state of the ground underfoot.
11/21 142.6 ( trend 142.6) 10.56 miles walked, the fresh snow was lovely to walk in & I thoroughly enjoyed marvelling at natures beauty all through the walk.
1.6 pound gained this round, I deserved it ☹. Moving on, my problem is I can talk the talk, but struggle to walk the walk with will power. Hope you’ve all done better than me, I’ll just keep plodding on, see you all next round.
@Itladyee - Thanks, Charissa! Poor effort = poor results. I need to get my act together!
👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!! 👍👍.

I’ll be ending today with a really intense cardio class. I’m not a big Les Mills fan in general but I do love their cardio. One of my friend/instructors is getting certified in the Body Combat class. She needs to film a 55 minute class. We’ve been running through it Saturday mornings and it’s hard but really fun. Let’s see how it feels at the end of the day!
I’m really excited for our next round. With lots of holidays and events through the end of the year I am committed to taking it one day at a time and believing in myself.

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.

11/21: last day of the round and first night back in my own bed on the 2nd floor and weighed on my regular scale. On 10/16 I was 126.8, today 127.5. Less than a lb up from day of surgery. Right foot still in a surgical boot during the day, but I slept without it last night- so much better! I was worried about waking up DP as we've gotten used to our separate arrangements:-)
Now to start to make this foot work- it's sore and swollen, so it needs love and work. See you all in the next challenge!
@jspecies11: thank you for the good wishes! One step at a time here :-)2 -

At least I logged it, even though it was not pretty. Exercise was functional yard work and doing some tree climbing. What does it feel like to deny myself???

I have a word shortage this morning.

Too many salty snacks laying around. I am prone to snaccidents.

A day of meetings and errands yesterday. My mom’s birthday is coming up, and my dad is in a nursing home. He asked me to arrange a special lunch (private meeting room) at his facility for mom and get a card for him to give to her. Happening next week. My DB and his wife also invited.
11/16: 224.2
/logged; not much exercise; 70 oz water/
Not sure why I have been hovering around 224. I have been naughty, but not that naughty. Must be kidding myself with faulty logging. (which means I HAVE been that naughty)
I should get out and walk today.

Yesterday was a bit strange. Had a dizzy spell in the morning which put the kibosh on everything productive. Things got better. My analysis: Too much delicious coffee. We have a new Nespresso machine and, well, you know. My body doesn’t process coffee like it did when I was in my 20’s (or even my 50’s).
11/18: 223.0
/logged; no exercise; 70 oz water/
Finally finished a novel I have been reading (and reading) last night. I love to read but it takes time sitting in a chair. I don’t like audio books (i.e. walk while you read). They make re-reading a paragraph, or going back to remember a name difficult.
I checked “Bridge of Sighs” out of the library because I thought it would take place in Venice where I actually saw the Bridge of Sighs. Well, less than 1% of the book took place in Venice. It was a well written story, but not my usual (action) reading. The vast majority of the book was dense character development with plenty of rabbit trails, leaving very little to the imagination. Story about the lives, spanning decades, of children/friends/parents and everyone in their orbit. The key word in the title ended up being “Sighs.”
I need to cleanse my palette with a Jack Reacher novel. HA!
Welcome to the JGMTD book club.

Busy day ahead.
DM birthday luncheon. 89 years old. She has a servant heart, so it will be nice to honor her for a change today.
DB and his wife will be there too. We are like oil and water, so a little bit of get-together goes a long way. We would both describe our childhood experience in the home differently. He was always looking for the boundary so he could crash through it. I was always looking for the boundary so I could stay inside it. Resentment always swims just under the surface for both of us.
I am sure I have shared my favorite saying here before, but please indulge me. “Expectations are premeditated resentments.” Working today on managing my expectations. ... Sigh.
11/20: 221.8
/logged; exercised; 70 oz water/
Yes, expectations exceeded yesterday. (easier when you keep them low. 😊 ) No premeditated resentments. DB and I managed to keep it civil. DM had a great time. DD was able to entertain us with his classic exaggerated stories.

Welp, my last day posting equals my ten-day average this Round; is lower by a hair than the SW on day before the Round. It is a tribute to mediocrity.
Still going for it. To quote the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail, “I’m not dead yet.” (if you don’t know what I mean, you will just need to watch the movie .)

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 “#HSF” & “Healthy Strong Fit” on my way to
📣#bestshapeofmylife
👇🏻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 🏋🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️ ⏱️🎾. 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, 5x 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)!!!!
👇🏻Review since my 1st R231 7/31/23 NSVs/Journey Reflections
******************Previous Daily
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… !

Didn’t leave the house yesterday. Rain. 📚all day -and foot is making slow progress. Staying positive. I can only do what I can do… My current BHAG is treading water (staying afloat) and smiling. Guiding my thoughts and “self-talk” is key. Will hit 🥩 and 🏋️♀️goals today. I want more. I’ll define what “more” is today.

Ran errands yesterday and my foot was OK! It’s really easy to miss protein goals when I’m not focused. Planning a long walk today to assess the foot. Back on protein, too and WILL implement my routine goals for the remainder of this round. (But no plyo!) Sure hope I’m back baby!
11/16 131.8
Let’s address the scale & my “Level Up (down) Plan” ☝🏻
I went back and reviewed last year around Nov-Dec and I definitely averaged 129-130 for two solid months. This is where I want to live!
Last year, I was not lifting as much as I am now but I really want to be “ranging” at 128-130…. NOT 132.0! Am I obsessing over 2-3 little pounds? You betcha. It’s definitely psychological, and I choose to embrace that… And it’s a SERIOUS test if I can do it. I want to live there. It’s actually my personal BHAG because I’ve NEVER EVER been there (for more than two months). I’m choosing more discipline. Why do I allow myself to simply touch my goal, be thrilled, only to float back up?! I’ve actually been feeling “less than” because I’m just hovering (but not reaching) a previously declared goal. It’s negative, really. Hovering, but not reaching, is not a good place to be no matter how I look at it. It’s hard to describe. I’m not being hard on myself… This is who I am.
So… Let’s DO THIS! Over the last 10 years (my 🎢) I have always lost 10 to 15lbs during the holidays … I can’t imagine (now) a “reasonable” or “permissive” holiday season. So let’s play it safe.
📣BHAG declared: My FIRST BHAG is to hit 128lbs on this #HSF journey and maintain a “+ or -“ 2lb range. Basically lose 4lbs by 1/1/24 which, at my age and metabolic quirks, will be really, really hard to do, if even possible.
128lbs & 📣#bestshapeofmylife — It’s why I’m here on this challenge. I’ve been blowing thru JGMTD each round STAGNANT - a sort of LIMBO. I’ve been declaring this for four months without any REAL results. It’s time. I hit my zone at my last “InBody” June 28 and have allowed myself excuses ever since. It’s time to get real again, stay TRUE to my original goals and stay THERE.
“5AM Carolyn” is called to action!
Today, I will review & finalize my “plan” and get going. LETS GO!
11/17 132.0 🚶♀️5k 💦 P:E 1.2, Pg 124g🏋️♀️10min 💤 7hrs
Adjusted macros. Held off foot one more day. Playing a little tennis this morn to test it out. Positive day yesterday. Pleased to challenge myself to lose 1lb per round by the end of the year. Definitely a new & present mindset.
11/18 P:E ratio 🚫. This is my most important measure and I failed. Prior to my recommitted BHAG I had purchased all the ingredients for Veal Bolognese (family over) so I spent 4hrs making it yesterday. Surprisingly, I was under cals, but my carbs were out of this world. Macro measures here on out!
🎾90 minutes. Foot held up ok but I felt it the rest of the day. I have a clinic this morning, so if it feels bad afterwards, I’m definitely headed to the doctor. There is a procedure for my condition… 6 to 10 week recovery period. Trying my hardest to avoid. Or, stop all tennis etc for same time period. Decisions.
🤸🏼20 min of “new” mobility training yesterday. I’m so SORE this morn! As active as I am, I found muscles that I still haven’t used!
🚶♀️walking still on hold. Hopefully this week!
I’m still tracking everything I just don’t know if I’m going to present it here…. Too time consuming & it’s only for me…. @jspecies11 May I steal your method?! Very efficient!
💤 8 hrs!
Good mindest! Ready!
11/19 131.0 ✅P:E 1:1, Pg 124💦🎾🚶♀️7.5k 💤9!!!
Mindset “set” to stay on goal. If you really want something in life, you need to work for it! 💪🏻
Back to very, very basic whole food. Easy to prep and even easier to track. Food as fuel works for me. Rinse & repeat.
Pleasantly surprised with scale BUT clearly demonstrates how much my MOOD is impacted by that tiny, fickle apparatus! Floating 1-2lbs on par for me. Takes a solid week for a trend.
🎾foot experiment OK yesterday… Felt some discomfort, but used the cold plunge @ the club after. Icing now.
🏋️♀️today!
Thoughts: I’m starting to believe 💯that food is a social construct. Food is the center piece of ALL social activities, gatherings, celebrations…. It just doesn’t need to be that way! At least “entirely”.
I spent my first 24 years in Louisiana… Everything was centered around sedentary eating & drinking…. PERIOD! Then I moved to SF and learned about outdoor group activities…. WITH friends… hiking, skiing, roller-blading, beaches …. Setting out for the entire day and moving together…. This is not part of Louisiana culture.
Can I deconstruct or modify food & drink “orgies” as a social construct!
@quiltingjaine… here’s a radical thought: Your community’s Thanksgiving celebration-It’s too late for this year, but maybe next year or simply the next event, introduce a second “ticket” option of low carb or no carb … it’s time for a “No sugar” revolution! 🤣 😍
11/20 131.8 ✅P:E .9:1, Pg 84💦🚶♀️3.5k 🏋️♀️30min 💤9!!!
Protein low. Great 🏋️♀️& mobility. Surprise visit from sister and niece. Not the perfect day (nutrition) I wanted but still ok. Today will be 💪🏻. I have a league 🎾 match this morn so foot will be tested. I’ll definitely retire the match if it starts to bother me. Still holding off on 🚶♀️till next round. Pre-planning food. Still moving forward! Let’s finish strong!

11/20 131.8
11/21 134.2 !#%&$!!?? WHAT?!
THIS IS WHY I HATE HATE HATE THE SCALE! Nothing about this makes sense. NOTHING. Just put it there for you, too - to not be discouraged over an inexplicable reading. I WLL NOT be mature about it. Yes, it’s information but it’s BS! 💩💩💩!
The are LIES LIES & DAMN LIES!
Now that felt really good. I got it out. Whatever THAT is will be discarded soon and I’ll be back 131ish for the start of R249. Sheesh!
✅P:E 1.25:1, Pg 114💦🚶♀️8.5k 💤8 🎾 2hrs…. AND I tracked everything, hit macros with 1227 cals!!!! Tons of water. Simply inexplicable.
Foot: I played my tennis match yesterday without discomfort… But by last night, the shooting pain re-surfaced. Won match. My team finished second this season. Looks like I will call the damn doctor.
I WILL HAVE A GREAT DAY! I get to wear a sweater for the first time this fall. 40°! Onward! (Monday will be 80° again!)
BTW: This was truly a good round. Emotionally, I’ve gotten back on track with a new mindset, a recommitment and an established BHAG. 1 lb per round till end of year!
