    @_JeffreyD_ - “ …try to find my bottom early.” This is a great way to think about surviving Christmas parties.

    @CamandJarvis – Congrats to DBF and wishing him the best at his new job. I've always believed it takes a couple of years to really settle into a new job routine. This will rock your world, too, so good luck to both of you.

    @Shetlandmama – Here’s a belated-best-wishes for your new year! Happy birthday!

    @skyleen75 – “My halo is still glowing a bit…” It should be. That is awesome! Surviving Five Guys is an empowering win. Way to go!

    @Chapter_3 – I grew up with the same weight formula, but my mom threw in an added twist: Start with 100lbs then plus or minus five pounds per every inch over/under 5’, then less 10% for fashionably thin. So, at 5’6” (which I used to be), I’d be 130 less 13, or 117 as an “ideal” weight. I never made it. Unattainable for me and it could have sent me down the road to eating problems if I'd been the determined type. I don’t think it was her best advice, though she was usually spot on. Plus, that formula does not consider athletic women, curvy hipped women, body types, etc.

    Right now I am below my 2nd 5% goal but I'm going to wait a day or two to celebrate see if it sticks before setting my next goal.

    @Morning_Joy – Welcome!

    @Astroamy – I’m celebrating your quiet approach to taking care of business. Way to go!

    🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 281 (my 211th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine.

    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,, but then the celebrations happened. If I can keep at a pound a round, I’ll be well happy. Another 2 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.
