@itladyee@Bigapplebritt88 ~ I'm so ready to get a puppy...but I haven't had a puppy in over 15 years. Running outside every 20 minutes....I've got to get ready for that!!
Those first couple of months are rough! Lol absolute crazy town. I heard someone say the puppy phase is the price we pay for a best friend later on. Gotta love the doggies

Current GoalsDon’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. Working from home makes it easy to stress eat or just eat out of boredom/habit.
2. 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.

60+ Female using trend weight
I lost an average of 3 lbs last round. I was focusing on going to the gym 5 days/week. I made it 2 times. Other days I did some walking. So again I will focus on going to the gym 5 days/week.
🐸I will keep the analogy of boiling frog in my head🐸

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 RND 280: 158.5 (71.9 kg)
12/02- 158.4 (71.8 kg) Happy start of Round 280!
12/03- 158.4 (71.8 kg) It was a cold day today. The lunch option at work was chili with cheddar cheese and green onions, cornbread and pudding. It definitely hit the spot. I was feeling lazy for dinner and went simple with a bowl of Costco meatballs.
12/04- 158 (71.7 kg) It's another cold night. Ivar's potato soup, and biscuits for dinner. I had 2 biscuits which put me 25 calories over goal today, but I'm calling that close enough.
12/05- 158.2 (71.8 kg) Tomorrow we're going to a Christmas potluck at DH's work. I plan to enjoy myself, but not eat to the point where I'm uncomfortably full. I will be wearing my ugly Christmas sweater too. I got one with flamingos in honor of my Florida roots.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 280 (my 210th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine & this round @CapeWrathUltra.
This round I’m continuing 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 be diligent as only 3-5 days per round staying on the waggon is not sufficient to get me back to where I want to be, I know at this time of year it is very difficult with all the festivities; mid-round I weighed 1 pound lighter, but then the celebrations happened. If I can keep at a pound a round I’ll be well happy. Another 3 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 – I am not a shark!
• 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.

12/2 141.6 (trend 141.6) - I quite like the new round number to be the same as the end as the last. 7.6 miles walked. Successfully negotiated Sunday roast linner out with all my siblings before DB starts his 2000+mile “riding home for Christmas” to Turkey on his motorbike. I chose sensibly but know that food out is prepared a lot differently from how I do.
12/3 141 .6 (trend 141.6) - 7.96 miles walked.
12/4 141.6 (trend 141.6) - 8.62 miles walked before meeting up with DSs & then two of went to donate blood.
12/5 141.8 (trend 141.7) - 7.32 miles walked. Another meet up, this time with a DFF, poor choice of items on menu does not help sensible eating, we ended up sharing a Cornish pasty!
12/6 141.6 (trend 141.6) – 10.53 miles walked. Half way through the round! I know I'm not going to be able to reach my mileage target (again!) this year - the wet weather has been the biggest stumbling block, will not go out to walk in the rain!

Comment (Dec. 6, 2024):
I was only 100 cal "over" after dinner, but when I took my neighbor over some homemade soup, she gave me a big chunk of Stilton Blue Cheese. Brought that home, had 2 hard seltzers while watching Thursday Night Football, and I ended-up 979 calories "over", and ~ 4,000 mg over on sodium. Poor efforts = poor results.7 -

@judefit1 Your statement - “Thank goodness for DP, who let me taste his cheesecake- that sucker needs to go away...“
Who/what is “the sucker” who need to go away? 🤣 Good job on just tasting!
@quiltingjaine Hopefully she's talking about the cheesecake and not DP...... LOL
@quiltingjaine and @deepwoodslady : LOL! A bit like eats, shoots and leaves- or was it eats shoots, and leaves? Ironically, the "sucker" was an English teacher! (not the cheesecake):-)

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.

* back to the gym- get it going gradually
* a pound a round as we hit year’s end: that’s doable! (thanks Carolyn!)

12/6: Surprised by the drop, but I've been pretty good all week. Fortunately last night was DGD#1's holiday concert and I got home past the after-dinner craving- and DP's dessert time:-) Short outdoor walk with DD yesterday, but no gym yet. Maybe this weekend...8 -
@musicsax While you may not meet your yearly walking goal (which is astronomical for the rest of us to even consider!), you have done a phenomenal job logging miles this year (and last year and the year before...etc.)! I cannot even imagine walking 5-10 miles every day--always! You are such an inspiration for me.8

@Blueberries59 I’d love it if you could see DH face when I read your words out loud to him! I agree whole heartedly and I need to be more adamant about it.
@judefit1 Thank you. My morning check in here is such an important part of my journey. Having a support system and a safe place to talk about weight and food (and life because it’s all wrapped up together) is invaluable.
@chapter_3 Tucker (and future baby) is lucky to have you! So are all of us.
@reshii_devi getting back to the workouts is hard! Good for you taking the rest and listening to your body. You know what to do- go do it! You are a strong a $#%^* woman!!6 -

📣BHAG Restated: My FIRST BHAG is to hit 128lbs on this #HSF journey and maintain a “+ or -“ 2lb range. I HAVE NEVER LIVED THERE! Basically lose 4lbs by 1/10/2025 (assuming I’m actually 132 once this Thanksgiving wreckage flushes out) which at my age and metabolic quirks, will be really, really hard to do, if even possible. I think I’ll know more if this is “doable” within a week or so. I want a BHAG that’s achievable with hard work and determination.

About Me & R280 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.Previous Daily
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
👇🏻December Level Up (Down) Plan
***************************
I pledge to prioritize each of these #HSF choices EVERY DAY of Dec:
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

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 👏🏻🤩

12.Staying in the present moment is key to mental health and healthy choices.
13.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… !
****************12/2 134.0 😳 surely this will be defeated by the end of this round! I’ll update this later today with my intentional post for this round! IM HERE AND DETERMINED TO RIGHT THE COURSE! Goal: Wipe-out the 2-day Thanksgiving damage. BHAG: 1 lb per round.

I’m pleased to share that my foot FINALLY felt 100% yesterday. Enjoyed FIRST 5 mile 🚶♀️(in almost 3 wks) & 🏋️♀️40 min. Added a 15 min 🚶♀️after dinner 🙌🏻. Sore this morn but a good sore! Today is 🎾⏱️. Positive. Mindful. Committed. 💦💦💦
12/4 132.8 expecting more ⬇️ but 👌. Still bloated/puffy.
🎾🚶♀️8k ✅📝📚💦💤8hrs 1.8:1 Pg 115 (🚫⏱️ foot not quite ready). Decided to wait a few more days on sprints/plyo - (foot). Felt a twinge of discomfort.
Good day on plan. This morning I have a 🎾singles match. Kinda cold for me 40° - but will persevere.
I’m back to a 300 cal deficit per day…. @ 1100 cals per day. Macros are high protein, negligible carbs and bal= fat. CLEAN WHOLE FOOD. No chemical /preservative poisoning!
INFO: For the past two days I’ve read multiple times from multiple sources regarding exercise for 55+ for healthy aging/mobility: Three key exercises:
1) jumps (plyo)
2) heavy lifting/resistance
3) sprints!
All 3x per week @ 10 min each. My workouts validated! (And of course, 🚶♀️8-10k). & must stretch warm-up first!
👆🏻simply plan? It’s in the consistent execution!
On a roll! Y’all inspire me!

Another good day on plan. Looks like it will take 40 days to lose 4 lbs! But now it’s 5lbs to reach BHAG to 128.0. So….. it’s 47 days till 1/20/2025 - the beginning of RND285 and through the holidays and a trip…. Sheesh, that is really depressingly LONG when I think about it. Five pounds in almost 50 days?!?!! Yes, it WILL take that long…. But it’s reality. I’m a realist. I’m at that age where taking off fat and adding muscle is a BEAR. Time for BEAST mode!
Actually, it’s time to focus on daily fuel and health. Daily wins. Celebrate ME and all the quirks and peculiarities that God has given me! Gratitude and love!
Oh, I lost my singles 🎾 match yesterday. Played a gal 25 years my junior… A close match… It was fun. HOWEVER, somewhere between ages 60 and 66 my physicality definitely declined. I may as well embrace it & stop the denial. I’m not “that” anymore… But I’ll be something, someone different. Someone that continues to strive to be younger than my years…. After all, I have a new little “why” on the way joining Tucker …. Nothing more fun than rolling around on the floor & yard chasing, racing & lifting little ones! (Got a little teary-eyed just now!)

still up 2lbs from the 🦃 wreckage - 7 short days ago. This # will be my “start” to get to 128.0 by 1/20/25 (47 days for 4.6lbs) because I feel like this is the real starting point… (that 136.0 day was a bloated stopped up engine). This morning’s ⚖️ reading is the REAL DEAL. So…. BHAG ON!
I’ve done a solid getting back on routine… ! But 🚫movement or exercise yesterday. Cold rainy day so I used if for shot-gun wedding planning. The couple is poor. The working poor. Perhaps not politically correct to use that term but it applies. They have chosen this day-to-day life. I cant let it just be a quick trip to the Justice… With a baby on the way & both working full-time… I volunteered to pull just a few little things together. It will be a justice ceremony and a champagne reception/ toast with dessert/cake for 20…. Immediate family only. I want for them for their day to be a Ray of Sunshine & Hope.
Today: in 30s most of the day but 😎 (cold here)… I will 🏋️♀️🚶♀️since I missed yesterday!
I hope everyone has a strong weekend. Put your health first!

I'm verbalizing goals here today for accountability:
*Go back to tracking everything and maintain my spreadsheet!
* At least 8000 steps each day, but hopefully over 10,000 at least 3 times a week.
* Strength training 2-3 times this next week.
* 90+ grams of protein each day.
* Drink more water!
SW RND 280—157.2
12/02 156.2 I just realized I didn’t post yesterday and so got everything confused in the post I made to the last round by accident this morning. Oh well, no loss last round after all! I am recommitting to daily goals I had going back in September.
12/03 156.6 Well, I joined the Silver Sneakers program offered by my insurance program and went back to the gym for the first time since Covid. Had a good workout and wondered at the time why I had waited this long—just lazy I’m sure. This morning, I’m sure feeling it! Met all my goals yesterday and feel more focused than in a while, so I’m hoping the little uptick is just sore muscles. It’s time for me to tone instead of JUST lose, but I’ll have to go slow with the workouts.
12/04 157.2 Knew this was coming. I did get in a frigid walk in the morning, but then everything fell apart. I had everything planned and logged yesterday, but due to lack of self-control and making holiday snacks with DGD, I fell off the wagon. I gave away all the cookies though and am moving some things out of sight today. Will be very busy today with Bible Study and then a meeting, then pick up DGD, so I’m not sure when I’ll get any measurable exercise in, but I have to figure that out.
12/05 155.6 Felt very much in control all day yesterday and had zero desire for sweets. I really felt like my body had so much sugar the day before, it just didn’t even want to consider sweets yesterday. Ended up getting in two workouts: strength training session in the morning and a Walk at Home session after dinner. This was my best health day in a while and it felt good!
12/06 154.4 Took a class at the gym yesterday for strength and cardio, but for folks my age (Silver Sneakers). I loved doing the exercise and doing them with other people. I am hungrier throughout the day after a workout, but I tried to focus on protein rich foods. Any tips from those of you that work out frequently about food the rest of the day? There’s a water aerobics class today with the same group of ladies (and others of course) that I might try.

Husband has said “don’t worry, all that’s left is to just put some food out”.
I have chosen for the hundredth time in 24hrs not to murder my husband.
I will not be weighing until Monday but plan to check in.8 -
One more thought:
If you are not sleeping 7-8 hrs per night, tired, stressed, etc… you will NOT make good choices. Stop, journal, pray, be with nature, walk…. Look at root causes…. get grounded and rested. Then take it on!!! ❤️❤️❤️4 -

It is a Monday, day one of JGMTD! Fresh start time! I have GOT to get out and either go to the gym or take a nice walk (in the cold,) Too much time yesterday afternoon vegging on football in front of the boob tube.
I have some beach time coming up and I am in serious danger of being mistaken for a beached whale. It’s so embarrassing when people try to roll me back into the ocean.
12/03: 226.6
Really good exercise yesterday. Really bad eating. I have a bit of a head cold also. Combination of sore muscles, bloated gut and cold symptoms means I don’t feel much like taking on the world this morning.
Just read all of yours posts though and I am encouraged.
12/04: 224.4
And that is how you lose 2.2 pounds with very little effort. Well, actually I did a good job of limiting the grazing that has become such a big part of my life. And that took some effort.
I have been bombarded with news and blogs that speak of the toxins found in our processed food. It is shameful what they allow in our food. And much of the rest of the world has the common sense to forbid it.
I took the bold step of throwing away a half empty large box of Cheeze-Its yesterday. Can you believe I was tempted to grab a few on the way to the bin. I felt like Bilbo Baggins letting go of the “One Ring to Rule Them All.”

12/06: 225.0
Since yesterday was Pasta Day at Rotary Club lunch, and also (annual) Holiday Open House at my Insurance Agent’s office, I am thrilled with a 0.2# loss. Both were buffet style offerings. What helped? Treating a social event like it was social. (talking to people…not my strong suit.) The longer I can stay in a conversation, the less I think about that bowl full of shrimp and cocktail sauce. !!!! If I find myself in a room full of people I don’t know already, I will just pull up a chair to the buffet. It’s not pretty. Ha!

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.7 -
@pezhed @blueberries59 @skyleen75 The cat bite has been a wild ride. It happened, and I wasn't super concerned despite bleeding all over my friend's house. She told me that I should got to urgent care as I would likely want to start an antibiotic. I was being seen maybe 2.5 hours after the bite and first antibiotic dose was at less than 3.5 hours. Minimal pain and a little swelling. Well, an hour later it went nuts. Pain was off the charts. I was freezing cold and shaking, and my hand blew up. It's now a week later and have made excellent progress but it's not yet clear that I will get to avoid an orthopedist. That will get decided on Monday. One thing this has done is I will not be nearly as cocky about sticking my hand near an animal that I don't know.
@chapter_3 Fabulous photo!
Have to see mom again this morning. Hoping to start back on reading from page one and get caught up. I think I might actually be ready to get back to tracking again. 6 -
@Chapter_3 you wrote "...wedding planning. The couple is poor. The working poor. Perhaps not politically correct to use that term but it applies. They have chosen this day-to-day life. I cant let it just be a quick trip to the Justice… With a baby on the way & both working full-time… I volunteered to pull just a few little things together. It will be a justice ceremony and a champagne reception/ toast with dessert/cake for 20…. Immediate family only. I want for them for their day to be a Ray of Sunshine & Hope."
I hear you. I too have a DS who has chosen a day-to-day life with his wife and 2 kids. I have learned to let go and avoid the details of it for my own sanity... EXCEPT for the kiddos! We love and love-on them dearly, so we have chosen to cast a few Rays of Sunshine and Hope into their household as well. We try to help without enabling as I am sure you do too. Yes, we all have challenges of one type or another. 7 -
Round 280
My first round
Anybody have any ideas on how to reduce/limit grazing or mindless eating? It seems like when I am super busy/distracted, I find that I am likely to just pop stuff in my mouth. I caught myself yesterday with no idea why I popped it into my mouth. The real question is How to keep mindful when distracted?

consumed. A taste of fruitcake led to me eating two pieces. Sounds like excuses. I took the advice
received here and tossed the cookies and fruitcake. Now, after that cascade of carbs, I need to start
over to try to get into ketosis. I wasn't even distracted. I knew what I was doing and recorded the cal/carb.

@chapter_3 ~ I that you share pieces of your life with us! And you're so right that it affects our journey.
I am so happy that Tucker was NOT put up for adoption. I do understand the one week with Mom, one week with Dad scenario. I was separated from my husband right after my son turned one. The good and bad part about it was when it was time for him to visit his dad, my ex didn't have time to spend with his child, so he would take him to my girlfriend's house. She was a saint and I got a bit of a break while knowing my son was in good hands!
Fast-forward to today. My son, who is 35, has a 4-year-old, and we just welcomed his little brother in October. Sometimes, I chat with my son about life and its challenges, and he says, "Mom, I just want to have a happy family."
My first grandson was born Feb 2020...The pandemic kicked in the next month so I missed out on forming those initial bonds in the first year. The first time he spent the night with us was just this year in September! At any rate, I am super excited for the newborn and I just hope his parents don't get tired of me
I hope to be that Chauffeur etc as needed for both of them. My son got a promotion as work (he works from home) but it will require him to be in the office on Wednesdays and my DIL also works (when she goes back to work) on Wednesday. He asked if I'd be willing to pick up the boys from day care and bring them home each week. I would love that opportunity as it would guarantee me a weekly visit!
Oh, and yes, on the rude awakening. It's so frustrating though.9 -

12/5 The past 2 days my carbs have been higher than I'd like, and I've only managed to stretch 3/5, but they're great goals to aim for! Hoping both are solid habits by the end of the month. And since I apparently still need a few hours of recovery before doing anything strenuous today, moving planned 30 minute HIIT to lunch. Last time I did it (11/28) I needed 72 hours of recovery!! Would to see that number improve today.
12/6 After burning almost 2000K cals yesterday, I would have totally had a bigger drop today if not for a forgotten Mounds Bar in the back of a desk drawer. Yikes!!! I should have thrown it away immediately as it was calling me for hours. Finally caved to LNS and blew my fast at 9:30 last night. Uuggggg ... oh well, it was so worth it, lol
In other news ... still doing reasonably well. Worked at a lower intensity during my HIIT workout yesterday (compared to 4.6 on the 28th), and broke it into two 17 and 23 minute phases instead of 36 mins non stop. Burned 926 calories (compared to 869) and my recovery time dropped to 38 hours so very excited about that! Body water has also increased from 39.1 to 39.6 in past five days, and back to breaking my fasts with a salad, Nutribullet style.
Rushing a bit, but will check in with all you lovelies later ~ Happy Friday fitfam and remember ... lets not let this weekend become another weak end to the week. But if it does, we've always got Monday to get back on track. Enjoy!

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 1st SW: 197.3 | EW: 196.8
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.5 -

Cheez-its, Triscuits, Wheat Thins, etc. - These are all hyper-palatable processed foods designed to be enjoyable and trigger cravings. Frequently they are marketed under an aura of wholesomeness. Mondelez, Kellogg, Nestles, ad nauseam etc., spend a fortune testing these products hoping to achieve true trigger status. Why! For repeat sucker sales! We don't stand a chance. Don't be a sucker! Don't buy their legal food crack. We have a right to live in a safe in environment that we can control. We should put the burden of keeping processed trigger foods away from us onto the responsible party. Tell DH to smoke crunch outside. Demand support from family. Demand some peace. Get that crap out of sight!
An old WW coach would say, " If you fail to say "NO" at the grocery store, you will say, "NO, NO, NO, till the box is empty." If you must support these icons of food industry, buy their stock. There are plenty of suckers out there hooked on their crunch. Don't be one of them.
My 2 cents, Meg
Sorry for the vent - I get excited as I, too, have been undone by box of crunch.
Love this rant! I haven't scrolled through the rest of the replies to see if anyone else mentioned it, but there was an article in the NYT about how Ozempic is ruining the big food industry and will continue to as long as more people start the drug. Even without it, we can protest with our dollars and stop funding their science food!
Just have to start googling a homemade equivalent to Cheez-its my boys will love even more

Mission: Continuously improve daily habits that strengthen a “Healthy, Strong & Fit” identity.
#HSF 📣#bestshapeofmylife📣
#helpfulhabits #agingyounger
📣BHAG Restated: My FIRST BHAG is to hit 128lbs on this #HSF journey and maintain a “+ or -“ 2lb range. I HAVE NEVER LIVED THERE! Basically lose 4lbs by 1/10/2025 (assuming I’m actually 132 once this Thanksgiving wreckage flushes out) which at my age and metabolic quirks, will be really, really hard to do, if even possible. I think I’ll know more if this is “doable” within a week or so. I want a BHAG that’s achievable with hard work and determination.

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
👇🏻December Level Up (Down) Plan
***************************
I pledge to prioritize each of these #HSF choices EVERY DAY of Dec:
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
******************
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.

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…
12.Staying in the present moment is key to mental health and healthy choices.
13.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… !

Another good day on plan. Looks like it will take 40 days to lose 4 lbs! But now it’s 5lbs to reach BHAG to 128.0. So….. it’s 47 days till 1/20/2025 - the beginning of RND285 and through the holidays and a trip…. Sheesh, that is really depressingly LONG when I think about it. Five pounds in almost 50 days?!?!! Yes, it WILL take that long…. But it’s reality. I’m a realist. I’m at that age where taking off fat and adding muscle is a BEAR. Time for BEAST mode!
Actually, it’s time to focus on daily fuel and health. Daily wins. Celebrate ME and all the quirks and peculiarities that God has given me! Gratitude and love!
Oh, I lost my singles 🎾 match yesterday. Played a gal 25 years my junior… A close match… It was fun. HOWEVER, somewhere between ages 60 and 66 my physicality definitely declined. I may as well embrace it & stop the denial. I’m not “that” anymore… But I’ll be something, someone different. Someone that continues to strive to be younger than my years…. After all, I have a new little “why” on the way joining Tucker …. Nothing more fun than rolling around on the floor & yard chasing, racing & lifting little ones! (Got a little teary-eyed just now!)
Today: 🏋️♀️🚶♀️⏱️

still up 2lbs from the 🦃 wreckage - 7 short days ago. This # will be my “start” to get to 128.0 by 1/20/25 (47 days for 4.6lbs) because I feel like this is the real starting point… (that 136.0 day was a bloated stopped up engine). This morning’s ⚖️ reading is the REAL DEAL. So…. BHAG ON!
I’ve done a solid getting back on routine… ! But 🚫movement or exercise yesterday. Cold rainy day so I used if for shot-gun wedding planning. The couple is poor. The working poor. Perhaps not politically correct to use that term but it applies. They have chosen this day-to-day life. I cant let it just be a quick trip to the Justice… With a baby on the way & both working full-time… I volunteered to pull just a few little things together. It will be a justice ceremony and a champagne reception/ toast with dessert/cake for 20…. Immediate family only. I want for them for their day to be a Ray of Sunshine & Hope.
Today: in 30s most of the day but 😎 (cold here)… I will 🏋️♀️🚶♀️since I missed yesterday!
I hope everyone has a strong weekend. Put your health first!

You are such a lovely Mom! I'm sure it will be a wonderful day, our DS just did not want a big wedding, which is why he waited so long to agree to a ceremony. They finally had a registry office ceremony with immediate family only followed by a small reception in their garden joined by a few close friends. It was an amazing day, remembered by us all including little DGDs, the oldest (3 at the time) still refers to it as her wedding!!4 -
Hello again, JGMTD crew! I'm Amanda, 39F/5'2" in Virginia
R280 SW: 129.4
R280 GW: 128.0
Starting off December with a couple of new goals:
- Daily core exercises
- 2 full body strength workouts per week
So for the round this equates to:
NS GOALS:
🏃🏻♀️ 7/10 days
🏋🏻♀️ lift 3/10 days
🚫 no drinking 5/10 days
📝 track food 7/10 days
✔️core workout 10/10 days
(tracked for the previous day)
Previous days' monologues:12/02 - 128.4 🏃🏻♀️✔️ Pleasantly surprised again with a loss. Probably pushing through some more of the retained water from the week. But I'm also not wanting to lose muscle and have been bad about prioritizing strength training with all of the running I've been doing. I don't want to literally run my butt off! So I'm going to lift today or tomorrow as well as getting a few running miles in. I don't have a long run scheduled this week which is nice. We got our tree from a snowy tree farm yesterday and the kids really got into the Christmas spirit! Unfortunately that means they're already asking for cookies. Going to be a tough month.
12/03 - 129.6 🏃🏻♀️✔️🚫📝 A deserved gain, for sure. I was so peckish yesterday, roving all over the kitchen trying to find something that would taste good and leave me sated. I came up blank despite eating all the things. Then we went out for Mexican dinner which obviously is filled with salt. I did opt for fajitas but had plenty of chips and cheese dip as well as some nibbles from my kid's quesadilla. I skipped the margarita, though, so that was a victory. Today I HAVE to go to the store to get some snacks for myself so I can stay on track. I also have to walk the dogs, run, and lift weights, lol. And do my job at some point as well. Hmm, time management is not my forte.
12/04 - 129.4 🏃🏻♀️🏋🏻♀️✔️🚫📝 Kind of expected more of a loss today, but that's okay. I know I did all the things yesterday that I could do. I did finish the fajitas yesterday for lunch (just the meat/veggie portion) and DH made a delicious-but-pretty-salty stir fry for dinner. I met all my goals yesterday so I will just stay the course. I'm definitely making chili for dinner tonight. It's so cold this week! I have a rest day and I may just fully rest today. Maybe a stretch or some yoga plus the required core workout. Really wanting to mostly dig into work today.
12/05 - 128.6 ✔️🚫📝 Barely squeezed in a 5 minute Peloton core class last night after I got my son to bed at 10 (BRUTAL) but I'm glad I did it. Today I have a run which I'm going to do on the treadmill. It's super windy here today and I just don't have it in me. Maybe a February half marathon wasn't the best idea I've ever had if I wanted to train outdoors. I have new, shallow motivation to have a successful December - we finally booked our post-Christmas flights to Puerto Rico yesterday! Going to have tons of beach time as we're staying in a beachfront cabana and I want to feel good in my swimsuit.

12/06 - 127.8 🏃🏻♀️✔️📝 Happy with my weight today! Of course the challenges of the round begin today - restaurant dinner tonight, big Thanksmas meal at my mom's tomorrow, Christmas party and Wicked sing-along on Sunday. Whew. Our dinner out tonight is for the big town Christmas festivities. It is going to be FRIGID though, so I'm not sure how long we'll last. Gathering all of our winter gear, picking the boys up early, and going to see Santa. Watching a tuba Christmas (one of my favorite things), eating dinner, then hopefully seeing the parade! It doesn't start until 7:30, though, so I'm not confident we'll make it that long in the cold. I think I'm going to pick up some hot hands and such. Really feeling like we all need balaclavas as well, but not even sure where to get those in a time crunch. Happy FriYAY, all!
Oh, I finished knitting a fox scarf for my youngest, going to share here just to prove that I occasionally finish a knitting project LOL.

Round 280
My first round
Stayed on plan yesterday. Was not able to find time to walk on the treadmill
Anybody have any ideas on how to reduce/limit grazing or mindless eating? It seems like when I am super busy/distracted, I find that I am likely to just pop stuff in my mouth. I caught myself yesterday with no idea why I popped it into my mouth. The real question is How to keep mindful when distracted?

Something that helps me grazing is eating at meal times only. I started doing that last year when I would mindlessly eat watching Netflix. Eating at the table and at mealtimes helped with stopping the weight gain, I've weighed basically the same for 1 yr, now time to lose.5 -

Those first couple of months are rough! Lol absolute crazy town. I heard someone say the puppy phase is the price we pay for a best friend later on. Gotta love the doggies
I adopted a 1yr dog last October. It was rough for about 6 months - but he's now my buddy. He takes me for walks, except when he's at doggy day care - those are days with liw step counts.

TRUTH! I love your soapbox speech. Being healthy is hard, people. If it feels that way, you are on the right path. No one is going to take better care of yourself than you. And you are worth the effort. 💕
