It amazes me to think of 2790 days but time really does fly.
It is my understanding that the thread was begun by @hillcrestbaby but I have never seen a post by her(?) My first post was in June, 2017 when I said I would become a regular after 3 short trips with friends. So for me round 7 was the beginning. At the time, I believe @GrandmaJackie was starting all of the rounds. When she needed a break around round 140-ish I think a few of us helped - @TerriRichardson112 , @musicsax and I are the ones I remember. My first “regular” post was 147, I think, and I’ve been doing it ever since with assistance from @musicsax when I’ve been without internet or when MFP changed things and my old brain couldn’t figure it out!
I will be honest and say that recently I have considered passing the torch but I think if I do that I might just drift away and I really don’t want to lose this lifeline. 😘❤️😘❤️7 -

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

I don’t remember who said what in round 276 but something in my brain clicked. I am getting back to my old routine of longer daily fasts - at least 18 hours which includes sleep time.

SW RND 279 133.5
11/22 133.0 YAY TMI! Got lots of steps (for me) yesterday at Walmart but when I checked my Vivofit4 it was black. I’ve had it for 202 days. I’m not happy.
11/23 133.5 meh, headache El Pollo Loco
11/24 134.0 Great Greek, chicken souvlaki and small salad.
11/25 135.0 WTH??? The result of 2 small FLOUR tortillas in the last 2 days??? Art Quilts, etc potluck today
11/26 135.0 After the food selection at the potluck I’m surprised I didn’t go up. There were only 2 mains and about 20 desserts. Steak and sweet potato today and maybe a protein shake.
11/27 134.5 Baking pies today and praying for daughter as she has her knee fixed.7 -
@quiltingjaine - thinking of your daughter too, hope all goes well for her & that she has a quick recovery.
We definitely don't want to lose you, but I can understand that at times it must be a bit of a burden, I'm here if you want a break, but not if you want an excuse to drop out lol 😆. I think of so many of the regulars in the group as distant friends & your input is always valued.9 -

11/26 -191.4- (Trend weight-191.0-) What a mess I am in the middle of. My crew has been sanding their butts off on my primary suite project and the dust is everywhere! Thick!!! To make matters worse, it all has to be cleaned up and all the furniture temporarily moved back in for the holidays including Christmas. All moved in onto the sub floor. Room is not near done but it will have to serve as my bedroom again until after Christmas. It will be nice to have my living room back as that is where my bed has been and where I’ve been sleeping. Everything is covered in a fine mist and the floor was covered in heaps and piles through the entire main floor over these past few days. I just couldn’t keep up. I worked my butt off yesterday and will be back at it again today using the shop vac etc. Last night I got 4 blinds cleaned in two rooms. I worked until my arms fell off. I did not eat good but I did burn a lot of extra calories. I just have to get through this. Our family Feast will be on Saturday.
11/27 -191.8- (Trend weight-191.0-) Well, the last of the fresh baked yeast breads from the festival are now gone with the last two slices being eaten as delicious toast this morning. If I can get through this week without too much further damage then I’m hopeful that things can begin to turn around next week (after my weekend Thanksgiving feast). But I will be tip-toeing from now until then to minimize the damage. I won’t lie, I will be eating pie on Saturday. I only do that twice per year and I’m looking forward to it. It wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without pie! Otherwise, I’ll be taking the high road and practicing as much portion control as I can muster. It’s a plan!

Hi! I’m Amanda, 5’2”, 39F in Virginia.
SW RND 279: 130.4
GW RND 278: 130.4
Set my goal to just maintain this round. A trip to MIL's, including Thanksgiving, in between two weekends. Whoof. I won't have a scale 11/25-11/30, and our last weigh-in of this round is the day after a day of road food. I feel like even maintaining is ambitious but I'm going to do the best I can under the circumstances!
NS GOALS:
🏃🏻♀️ or 🏋🏻♀️ 5/10 days
🚫 no drinking 4/10 days
📝 track food 5/10 days
(tracked for the previous day)
11/22 - 129.8!! 🏃🏻♀️📝 Yay, broke into the 120s by the skin of my teeth. Surprising since we went out for an unplanned Brazilian dinner. I chose a steak salad which is was a good choice (and verrrry delicious). I did have 1 beer, which was not a very good choice, but not the end of the world either. The accomplishment was that it lasted until I finished my dinner despite a very long wait for food, and I didn't feel inclined for another when we got home. I ran 6 miles yesterday, and have to walk the dogs and do a short run today. I would like to lift weights but I don't feel too optimistic about fitting it in between 3 meetings and the cardio and other work I have to do. Also want to get the oil changed on my van before we drive 500 miles next week and prep some kind of dinner, maybe chili? Happy Friday!!!
11/23-130.0🏃🏻♀️📝 Not too bad as far as Fridays go. DH took over the weekend meals. He recently went to a conference in Malta and is now on a Mediterranean diet kick which is just fine with me! Last night was spaghetti and salad with toast and good olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Tonight is salmon, and I’m sure, salad with olive oil and vinegar. I’m going to see Wicked today and haven’t strategized when and how to eat. Definitely going to have to squeeze lunch in before the 12:25 showing. Maybe I can share a “small” popcorn with DS.
11/24 - 129.6 📝 Wow, never have I ever weighed less on Sunday than Saturday, lol! We’ll see if there is a rebound tomorrow, the last day I’ll have a scale until the last day of the round. When I tracked late last night I ended up around maintenance calories. It’s always kind of a crapshoot though. Today is just getting ready for our big trip tomorrow and trying to not leave the house a total pig sty for the house sitter. Oh and I have to run 4 miles or so. Sunday Funday, the adult version!
11/25 - 130.6 🏃🏻♀️ I’d normally be pleased to be up less than a pound after the weekend but I have to change this trajectory going into a week at MIL’s. Not on track for that on the road today. Breakfast burrito containing fried chicken and bacon, fried chicken wrap and pretzel fries for lunch at Burger King, ugh. I need a salad shop with a playground please?! Dinner will be lasagna after we get there. Trying to drink as much water as I can without increasing bathroom stops. Hoping I can channel some recent success into not being completely off the rails all week!
11/26 - DNW
11/27 - 🏃🏻♀️ DNW. Just checking in as a reminder to myself to think before I eat all the things. Family time has me very busy. My MIL is serving “Swedish dinner” tonight and Thanksgiving tomorrow. I don’t know how she does it; I would be so overwhelmed! My kids have 6 cousins here to play with which is the very best! Good to catch up with sibs-in-law as well. Lake effect snow is predicted Friday-Monday here and we’re leaving Saturday, so I’m a little anxious about that (but also excited to see snow since we hardly got any last winter in VA!)

That’s quite true. I also started in Round 7 in June 2017. I have been popping in occasionally to see how you are all doing, but my weight changes so little these days that I have got out of the habit of logging it daily.
I’m still here, though, and it’s good to see so many familiar usernames. So many left when MFP removed the newsfeed.

@reshii_devi
I’m wonderfully blessed you are back. Definition of honesty & courage right there. No failures-only lessons. In your weakness, you are STRONG. An incredible Thanksgiving present for yourself and this group. I’ve missed you.
You’ve got this 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻.7 -
@_JeffreyD_
Wow. Just wow. I didn’t see that coming (Not that I should or anything, because I don’t know you….) What an incredibly brave step. Healthy and wise. Love in action. Thinking of and honoring your legacy. Taking care of yourself and your loved ones.
(I have a “God Jar”…. sitting right next to my bed…. Four tightly folded-up petitions in a jelly jar. These burdens are much too heavy for me to carry. And yes, He has them.) I must keep this jar in my sight as a constant reminder that I can cast all of my burdens on Him 🙏6 -
36F 5’9Goals: don’t give up on the day when it’s challenging. Choose to make good decisions in those moments instead of giving in.
Main struggles:
1. sleeping less (have two puppies, a 6mo and a 10mo old) makes it hard to wake up early enough to get a good workout in or at least to feel good awaking up. Feel defeated in the motivation and drive department compared to how I was previously.
2. Working from home makes it easy to stress eat or just eat out of boredom/habit.

11/25 - 174.4
11/26 - 174.3
11/27 - 174.5 - Today was a rest day so no gym. There’s a pecan pie in the house for T-day. Definitely not on the list of foods that helps you stay within your calorie/macro goals. But in the spirit of not fueling a negative relationship with food, and because it’s a holiday, I’m taking it in stride. That can be hard for me to do. I can tend to be all or nothing. Just because you eat some pie doesn’t mean you have to throw away an entire day/weeks worth of good decisions. I’ll do my best to make healthy adjustments over the holiday!

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 to start back up the day before Round 278 started.
SW RD 279: 160.3 (72.7 kg)
11/22- 160.4 (72.8 kg) Late night for me. Just got home from seeing Transiberian Orchestra. This is our 3rd or 4th time seeing it. We wait 2-3 years between shows. I forget how loud concerts can be and wish I brought earplugs. But I had a really good time, nonetheless. I'm curious how a Taco Bell quesadilla for dinner and 11pm snack of pudding will affect tomorrow's weigh in. I'm still within calorie goal though.
11/23- 159.5 (72.3 kg) Sometimes I swear the scale works in strange ways. I'm not going to sweat it. Today was a very lazy, totally sedentary day. Tomorrow I'm going to get my butt up and join my husband on the morning dog walk.
11/24- 159.4 (72.3 kg) We went on a mini driving adventure today after walking the dog. We both had gas station snacks for breakfast on the way, and even with a late lunch and a big bowl of zuppa Toscana for dinner, I'm feeling slightly hungry.
11/25- 159.8 (72.5 kg) One day down this week. Hoping to work less than a full day on Thanksgiving.
11/26-159.3 (72.3 kg) I cannot believe how fast this year is going by. Only a couple days from Thanksgiving and less than a month to Christmas! I'm going to decorate my tree this weekend.
11/27- 159.6 (72.4 kg) Tonight was the second ground beef and pasta dinner in a a row. A bit heavy but warm and filling on a cold evening. Happy Thanksgiving Eve.

@UTMom81 I love sausage balls. It's a family tradition to have them on Christmas Eve. Hot out of the oven is the best way for sure.6 -
@TerriRichardson112 - hi there, so good to hear from you again & inspiring to hear that you have so little weight fluctuation, I long for those days - if ever they arrive. I hope you continue to stay well & thank you for the legacy that you & others have left for the rest of us still fighting the fight .6

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 279 (my 209th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.
This round I’m going to join @Chapter_3 in in a BHAG of 1 pound a round to the end of the year, i.e. to weigh 138 or under. I need to shake myself up cuz only 3-5 days per round staying on the waggon is not sufficient to get me back to where I want to be. 4 pounds would really get me on my way; I want to stay strong, walk the walk as well as talk the talk! & make the round a successful one.
So, goals for this round;
• First and foremost, no feeding frenzies - (carried over from last few rounds)
• to weigh less at the end of the round than the start & a pound is my small BHAG for this round
• 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.

SW RND 279 141.8
11/22 141.8 (trend 142.5) 9.03 miles walked, footpaths were quite dodgy in places with the ice, but just walked these sections gingerly:) Feeling happier in myself now that I’ve made this commitment, hoping to stick with it & keep this mind set, I know as the festive period gets closer it will become more difficult with all the various food-based meeting ups, so need to make the earlier rounds and not “festive gathering” days really count.
11/23 DNW – luckily yesterday the roads had cleared of snow & ice for us to tow the caravan out for a weekend away in Delamere Forest. Managed a 6 mile walk in the forest before darkness descended. Stayed within calorie limit.
11/24 DNW – 5.26 miles clocked up; intermittent rain scuppered our plans! We drove to Chester, plan was to walk the city walls visiting both the castle & the amphitheatre, but had to abandon quite quickly due to Storm Bert rain & wind. We ended up Christmas shopping; it proved to be quite productive, most of the DGC’s presents purchased. Heavy rain, standing water & wind might make todays journey home a bit of a challenge.
11/25 141 (trend 142.1) numbers looking better 😊, but must not get complacent. Again, no structured walking due to the weather.
11/26 141 (trend 142) – 10.71 miles walked.
11/27 141.6 (trend 141.9) – 8.87 miles walked, out pounding the pavements at 7.30 am before meeting up with DSs for lunch, stuck to an omelette & undressed salad. I’ve started drinking hot water in this cold weather and it really is not bad!!
11/28 140.6 – (trend 141.8) I’m hoping that yesterday’s number was a natural fluctuation & not todays!! 7.52 miles walked.

@TerriRichardson112 - hi there, so good to hear from you again & inspiring to hear that you have so little weight fluctuation, I long for those days - if ever they arrive. I hope you continue to stay well & thank you for the legacy that you & others have left for the rest of us still fighting the fight .
I was just paying forward all the help, support, and advice that I got when I first joined MFP. The Community groups are great places to be, especially now that the newsfeed has been killed off.

@reshii_devi I am so glad you have returned to the group to help you out of your pit of despair. Many of us can identify with being in the valley. I hope you find peace and encouragement and whatever else you need to be your best self, and I hope this group helps you not only do what's best for your body, but to ease your mind and be comforted in the routine, accountability, and motivation this group provides. Hugs to you, and we are here for you!6

It amazes me to think of 2790 days but time really does fly.
It is my understanding that the thread was begun by @hillcrestbaby but I have never seen a post by her(?) My first post was in June, 2017 when I said I would become a regular after 3 short trips with friends. So for me round 7 was the beginning. At the time, I believe @GrandmaJackie was starting all of the rounds. When she needed a break around round 140-ish I think a few of us helped - @TerriRichardson112 , @musicsax and I are the ones I remember. My first “regular” post was 147, I think, and I’ve been doing it ever since with assistance from @musicsax when I’ve been without internet or when MFP changed things and my old brain couldn’t figure it out!
I will be honest and say that recently I have considered passing the torch but I think if I do that I might just drift away and I really don’t want to lose this lifeline. 😘❤️😘❤️
That’s quite true. I also started in Round 7 in June 2017. I have been popping in occasionally to see how you are all doing, but my weight changes so little these days that I have got out of the habit of logging it daily.
I’m still here, though, and it’s good to see so many familiar usernames. So many left when MFP removed the newsfeed.
@TerriRichardson112 It's so great to "see" you again! I have wondered about you and @GrandmaJackie both. Hope you are well and it's good to know that you peak in periodically. You are missed!4 -

11/22 157 Weight was creeping up the last 5 days of last round. Went out to eat last night and the food was delicious. But, I’ve got to get a grip on things again and stop the creep. This is a dangerous time of year for me, and I know it! “Danger, Will Robinson!”
11/23 156.8 I did well yesterday and hoped for a bigger drop this morning. Patience, I guess.
11/24 156 That’s better. Going to see Wicked tonight at the theater, so dinner will be popcorn. Have to manage the rest of the day to allow for that, but I’m looking forward to the movie! Will focus on high protein the rest of the day. Will also be beginning the Thanksgiving baking today, so…wish me luck!
11/25 155 My plan for the movie worked out good. Ate only high protein breakfast yesterday, a few nuts and bolts I had made in the afternoon, drank a protein shake right before getting in the car, and then I only ate a little popcorn at the movie. If you have NOT yet seen Wicked, it is absolutely amazing! Feels like you are at live theater, which I LOVE. I cannot recommend it highly enough!
11/26 156.8 Made sausage balls. Need I say more? Lol
11/27 155.8 That’s a little better because I found my self-control again yesterday even though I made pecan pies and blueberry cobbler by request. The sausage balls are in the fridge where they don't tempt me like they did cooling on the cookie racks. Just need to hold things in check during the next few days. Need to continue to get in my walks each day like I've been doing lately. That would be the one thing I would add to @judefit1 's refrigerator list: Move it like your life depends on it! (because my future quality of life does!)
11/28 156 Happy Thanksgiving! I enjoyed a few of the holiday treats yesterday, but maintained control and balanced out the calories throughout the day. Got in three different exercise sessions—morning workout which was cut a little short by company coming down, a good walk in the afternoon, then before bed yoga. It was a good day!

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.

11/27: Happy Thanksgiving to all my JGMTD Challenge friends. However you celebrate, enjoy the day and I'll see you tomorrow!!!7 -
I didn’t expect to start today all teary eyed but reading posts @_JeffreyD_ and @reshii_devi in row struck a chord in me.
Thank you both for your shares. The phoenix from the flame image tied them together.
@reshii_devi there is so much power in saying “I’m not okay”.7 -
I enjoy reading everyone’s posts with my morning coffee.

11/28 169.6 wowza what a bump. How easily I get thrown off course.
Long story but I had a lovely team of electricians here all day yesterday and no electricity. Over the summer our power company had replaced the pole on the street. Evidently it was set higher and the wire got pulled so taut it eventually ripped our service line off the side of the house!!
Sigh, an opportunity to upgrade the system but also a bit of an unexpected wrench in life. How lucky to have a local electrician (friend of a friend) bring his team over on their day off before a holiday. Service not only restored but upgraded.
I bought deli sandwiches to feed them all and ended up feeding myself too.
Cold rainy Thanksgiving, I’ll start with our annual group workout at the gym. Best way to prep for all of the family togetherness and food!8 -

Didn’t post yesterday because I got an early start in the woods looking for Bambi’s mom. (I didn’t find her.)
Even though I burned a lot of calories yesterday, this morning is testament to all the calories-in and almost nothing-out (TMI.) Last night was a little get together for DGD’s 1st birthday. I was not mindful. DW made lima beans which she hates and I LOVE. I rarely see them under my roof. I over indulged.

With guests in the house I have not weighed the past two days. The scale is in the guest bathroom so I avoid going in there undressed. Just as well. Let’s just say I will be happy by the end of this round to match my SW.
So, I am just checking in to see how you all are doing.
While I am here, I could mention something I may have discovered yesterday. I let my DW be the gate keeper for some of my food choices.
She says “how about a frozen pizza?” I say “heck yes!”
She says “who would eat a Klondike Bar?” I say “of course!”
She just wants to be a gracious host to our guests. I hobo along like I have no choice about what to let in through my gate! (gate = cake hole)
Step one: Don’t blame DW!

Wow, a harsh weekend, and now Thanksgiving is coming up. As usual I am in charge of the bird. Throwing it on the smoker again this year. It is an 18.5 pounder thawing in the fridge since yesterday. I hope it will thaw through by Thursday morning.

Getting ready for a house full tomorrow.
Some of you may have heard of a “God Box.” It is box in which you put notes to God. In effect, you are turning it over to Him, taking it out of your hands. So much so that you can just throw the contents of the box away, because it is taken care of.
Yesterday I emptied my God Box. I did something I have been wanting to do for a long while. It needed to happen before I die. (don’t be alarmed. My day of passing is scheduled, but not published by my creator yet) I burned about 30 of my personal journals. They are now ash.
I love to sit and think/write/sketch/process/pray and I have been filling Moleskine journals for years. (decades?) I have spent so much time with them, in a sense they are me… at frozen moments in time. So, why burn them?
1. They are not me. ( But I will keep writing more frozen moments)
2. They are for my eyes only. They might have been interesting to my family someday, but perhaps hurtful too. I wrote like no one would read it. I burned them with full blessing of Joan.
3. There have been some bumps on the life road that I needed to write about. I don’t even want to reread some of it.
4. Some of it would need interpretation, unavailable in my passing. My legacy should not be defined by something I wrote in 1994.
5. They took up a lot of space. 😊
I am thankful.

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.6 -
@_JeffreyD_
Wow. Just wow. I didn’t see that coming (Not that I should or anything, because I don’t know you….) What an incredibly brave step. Healthy and wise. Love in action. Thinking of and honoring your legacy. Taking care of yourself and your loved ones.
(I have a “God Jar”…. sitting right next to my bed…. Four tightly folded-up petitions in a jelly jar. These burdens are much too heavy for me to carry. And yes, He has them.) I must keep this jar in my sight as a constant reminder that I can cast all of my burdens on Him 🙏
@Chapter_3 Yes to the God Jar.6 -

11/24 ⚖️ discouraging even though I’ve stayed on plan. I have a lot of stress (cortisol) & my body is retaining everything. P:E 1:1 P90g. Your posts are encouraging! Today I will 🚶♀️, decompress, take time to smell the roses & 🏋️♀️.
11/25 I started my walk yesterday & decided to turn around because of foot pain on pavement. It’s amazing how my foot is not as impacted on a clay tennis court vs hard surface. Thinking of taking the trail @ local park.
🏋️♀️45 min 💤8 P:E 1:1 Pg 120 under calories.
DGS is in for a morning basketball camp M through W this week. I am the chauffeur and looking forward to it!
11/26. 131.0 this feels right. I’m more relaxed. Systems finally functioned*** (will note below). Good day 💦yesterday. Only 🚶♀️5k but 🤸🏼🏋️♀️45 min. 1:1 Pg 90. 🎾 today & will finish shopping & begin prepping for Friday. (We host family Friday since everyone is scattered about Thursday!) Going with a Tapas /Spanish theme…. 14 adults /six children.
*** Discovery: I can honestly say that over this year+ I have not gone off the rails… I’ve indulged a teeny bit here and there, but that’s about it… I feel like I have developed & worked to ingrain heathy eating & movement/mobility choices/patterns and possess a true North.
What I discovered since Friday is that my IBS is back. We experienced a very stressful family situation & my body retained everything & had a full system shutdown. The shut down was not from something I ate. It wasn’t a bug! It wasn’t a virus! It was an emotional experience. I’m realizing that my 2 to 3 lb daily fluctuations could be purely emotional - manifesting in a physical shut down. I’ve been puffy for a week and retaining everything, but little difference in food/drink.
Another recent difference is my walking has simply disappeared since I hurt my foot… It’s 12 days now. Walking clearly helps my digestive system stay on track. It gives me time to think and breathe… Pray, and be with nature.
So I’m sharing my hypothesis:
Daily fluctuations may not have anything to do with food intake… it could simply be a hitch in bodily systems - caused by emotions, stress, lack of sleep, etc. So I have finally realized that the scale is not only a reflection of what I have eaten… It’s a reflection of my entire being.
Mind, body, soul are intimately connected. I hope sharing this may help someone. (Disclaimer – I am not an expert!!!)
11/27 ⚖️ 130.4 ⬆️⬇️🎢🎢🎢🥹
Are we ready? The 🎢 is real!
🎾 this morn & DGS for lunch… full speed after that!
Yesterday: fuel on plan. 1:1 90Pg
🎾🤸🏼🚶♀️7k. Slowly increasing steps. Foot not 💯 but manageable.
Coach @ DGS basketball 🏀 camp: “You don’t get good watching TV. You get good sweating.” Translation: Work for it! Onward!
🇺🇸🦃🇺🇸🦃🇺🇸🦃🇺🇸🦃🇺🇸🦃🇺🇸🦃
11/28 130.6. Typo yesterday (was 130.4 now fixed) - was surprised when the scale reflected ⬆️.
Happy Thanksgiving! I’m proud to be 🇺🇸 and am thankful to live & worship freely. God bless America!
Enjoy this glorious day with family and friends or…. another way. Celebrate gratitude! (And if you’re dreading it, fake it till you make it!)!
(Will focus on protein today… Only 80g yesterday) 🎾🚶♀️8k 💤9~~🚶♀️🏋️♀️this morn.

I am filled with gratitude to have found this group. You have all helped my journey for the past 100 days, and a special shout out to @QuiltingJaine for her years of service. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, everyone!

I've missed you too @Chapter_3!! Your kindness, wise words and optimism is always such a bright light.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 @Skyleen75 @jspecies11 @TerriRichardson112 @UTMom81 I really appreciate the kind words
@deepwoodslady Thanks Donna, out of all the groups here, this one definitely feels most like home ... and a possible lifeline @quiltingjaine. I like the sound of that. Might be just what I need to keep from drifting away again. Sending best wishes for your daughter's speedy recovery.
To my fellow journal lover @_JeffreyD_ you've inspired me greatly this morning thank you! I too have a collection of " frozen moments" going back as far as 1988 that also need to be released into the ethers. I haven't looked at most of them in a long time and have no desire to revisit those pain-filled pages again. Letting it all go is probably the greatest gift I could give myself right now. And I didn't have a God Box, but I'm starting one today.
@Blueberries59 apparently only you and god knew, lol ~ turns out its already helping in so many unforeseen ways. And Cheers and many thanks @judefit1 for both the welcome back and holiday plan I'm also happily stealing and printing. Wise words definitely worth sharing.6 -

July Goals: Starting over 7/12 ~ lost six weeks of progress and regained 7 pounds adjusting to new third shift work schedule. They call it graveyard for a reason!!! My exercise, water and step count have all also dropped considerably. Goals this month are simply to lose as much as possible building momentum and getting back in the groove.
June Goals: Having gotten as low as 193 in both April and May, I'd like to drop below that in June. (FAIL)

MAY Goals: Lose 6-8bs, 2-3 inches and 1-2% body fat ❎❎❎
May 22: I had packed some shorts to change into after swim without trying them on. They were so tight last summer, I expected the fit to be better ~ but when I put them on ... wow. I was in front of the locker room mirrors and was like omg, that's you. How long has it been since you looked/felt like that? I was spinning around looking at myself for a good 2-3 minutes, y'all, lol ~ my New #1NSV
May 4: 10 of the 20 inches lost was off my belly! No pics, no proof, lol ~ I love/hate taking photos because they've become one of my best tools. You can't lie and you can't hide. Putting myself on blast 1) creates incentive to increase effort and 2) highlights new areas to focus on. Still a long way from my ultimate goals, but its nice to see muscle memory is real! At a size 15, I haven't been this small in more than 10 years.
APRIL 1st SW: 198.2 | EW: 197.8
Goals: Lose 6-8bs, 2-3 inches and 1-2% body fat ❎❎❎
Lost less than a pound, 1.25 inches combined on arms and legs | regained 0.2% body fat and 1/2 inch back on my belly. Starting dietary 200-400 calorie deficit and Intermittent Fasting 18-24 hrs. Breaking fast differently, including more protein, and continuing to look for new ways to increase step count and add more strength in May.
Reaching onederland (March 13th) meant the end of 10+ years and up to 80 pounds!! gained and relost too many times to count. Yo-yoing is the main reason for so much body fat!!! Determined not to continue to self-sabotage ... I need a new target!! If I should lose an additional 8% body fat to reach the "standard" for my age, height and sex ~ and up to 15% more to reach excellent ~ that's @ least another 8-15 months of work before I can begin to relax and think maintenance.
January 1st - April 1st, I've lost 17 pounds and a total of 20.8 inches from 11 areas. 🥳 Thrilled to see my hard work reversing prediabetes and years of physical damage. Getting leaner and stronger and chair dancing proud of myself about it!! 57 and hormonal, it's taken longer than expected and a much rougher road than my youth.7
