BackstoryIn 2022 I was around 157lbs with 24% bf. Was definitely in the “best shape” of my adult life then. Since then I started a new career working from home as a developer. Have moved away from my family for fiancés job. We’ve moved several times to various states in the short time span. Welcomed two puppies into the mix. Lots of changes. Lots of time spent at home. Lots of time spent away from family. Fell out of touch with friends. All of the adjustments and figuring out how to manage/handle more daily responsibilities and navigate through this phase of life has manifested into me gaining 20ish lbs and losing a lot of willpower, motivation, drive, positivity, etc that I once thrived on. Found this challenge and it has been helping me get it back. Nothing is permanent! Looking forward to working through this.
Overall Goals and ChallengesGoals
1. Focusing on behavior and mindset. Calories have been going way over for so long I need to reel the behavior back in a healthy way.
2. Don’t give up on the day when it’s challenging. Choose to make good decisions in those moments instead of giving in.
Challenges
1. Working from home makes it easy to stress eat or just eat out of boredom/habit.
2. Sleeping less (have two puppies, a 7mo and a 11mo 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.
Daily, Small, Attainable Goals1. Finish 1st 27oz water before 2pm
2. Finish 2nd 27oz water before bed
3. Alternate standing and sitting at desk every other hour during working hours.

Gym: 3rd skip in a row
Wins: I think I can finish my water goal before the end of the night, and I did well with my stand goal for the work day. I am roughly 200cals over for the day. Tbh that isn’t bad. This past year I have been hundreds over daily. Hence the weight gain. But I remember when I was on my strict macro days, on non gym days I would either hit maintenance calories or if I was really hungry I would end up +200. Since I skipped my workout today, I’ll take that. If I can get back to 200cal deficit on gym days and between maintenance and +200 on rest days, I will be golden. Maybe I should add that to my daily goals and make it official instead of undermining myself….
Challenges: my work day challenges were better today. Main challenge was probably skipping my workout to get some extra sleep. If I go to bed on time to get 8hours I would literally need to go to bed immediately after work a lot of the time. Sometimes I just want to enjoy at least some part of my day. But I’m still happy with the way my strength training has gone in spite of the weight gain. I don’t get to work out as long or often as I would like to but I still have a good strategy going. The nutrition is where I dropped the ball this last year.

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 281: 156.5 (71 kg)
12/12- 157.2 (71.3 kg) Back on track today. An upswing as I anticipated, but honestly I feel like 156.5 was an outlier too. Husband is back from his work trip and we did some Christmas light watching tonight.
12/13- 157 (71.2 kg) Hmm, my brother and his fiancee want to go out to dinner with us tonight. They've been wanting to go out together since their engagement 2 months ago, but it just hadn't happened. I think I'll be aiming for maintenance tonight.
12/14-157.2 (71.3 kg)
12/15- 156.8 (71.1 kg) I completely spaced posting last night. Thought I was almost done with Christmas shopping at least then thought to update the list I made. We have 19 family members to shop for not counting ourselves and each of our work's Secret Santas. I had forgotten 2 family members and still not sure what they're getting. Not quite done with my Secret Santa gift and my husband still needs to get his. I have 3 stocking stuffer type things for my coffee group to finish for our meet-up Tuesday, plus my team also does something outside the Secret Santas (I work with a bunch of people whose love language is gifts). I've made a good dent this weekend, but thank goodness there's 8 more days before Christmas Eve. We did see more Christmas lights last night, and took the dog on two walks today. I think I will sleep well tonight.
12/16- 156.1 (70.8 kg) I went to North 40 to get some dog food after work since they were having 15% off everything in the store and 25% off clothing and toys. It was packed, and they were circulating trays of cookies and mini cream puffs. I am a sucker for cream puffs and had seconds. I was tempted to ask what store they bought said cream puffs from so I could procure my own stash, but wisdom prevailed.
12/17- 154.9 (70.3 kg) Whoosh! this morning. Followed by dinner out with my coffee friends tonight. I decided to eat very light for lunch in anticipation of dinner. This time it backfired on me because I stayed hungry most of the day and most of my self control went out the window at the restaurant. I think next time I'll eat a little more at lunch or have a snack before if I'm still hungry so I think with my head and not my stomach.
12/18- 155.5 (70.5 kg) 5 more days to Christmas Eve, 3.5 more days of work before Christmas. I cannot believe how quickly the month has flown.

Round 281
I had some overnight losses that I haven’t seen in years and I am so happy the consistency this challenge gives me. My promise on this challenge was to eat real foods only. My weight has been going back and forth between 0.5kg these 3 days but i anticipated that knowing well that at a point my body will try to survive. I just hope the Christmas will be over so I can continue on the next challenge. I have not counted my calories in 2 days so i will do that today. Wishing each one a lovely 😊 weightlosing day

🎷 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.

@judefit1 – Happy anniversary! You are my touchstone. I, too, hope to here, in maintenance and getting stronger, maybe recovering from bunion surgery, after a year. I’ve never really excelled at maintenance. I thought I had it covered, thought I didn’t need to pay attention. Ha! You are showing us how its done. Thanks to you, @quiltingJaine, and other in maintenance for being on this cite.
@_JefferyD_ - Have fun in Florida, get lots of exercise and BRING THE SCALE! I missed the any prelude to this trip, like how long you’ll be gone, but if it’s over a week you need a scale. Buy one on Amazon, if necessary. You’ve worked hard for your progress and could lose it in a jif. My 2 cents.

* Drink more water!
SW RND 281—156
12/12 153.8 The salt bomb from Thai food left yesterday, so YAY! Got in a video workout late in the day since we had rain and snow.
12/13. 153.8 I really expected another drop today, but I guess one can’t be greedy! I’ll be happy I didn’t get the bounce that will probably come tomorrow now that I jinxed it. Lol. Got in a good walk with River during the pick up line at preschool. Compared to the few days before, the weather was great for walking. I have not paid enough attention to water the last couple days, so I need to be purposeful about that today. I am frantically trying to finish teacher gift quilts, so I’ve been lucky to get in 8K steps. Not sure today will be much better.
12/14 153.4 I’m absolutely amazed at how much work a water aerobics session is! I got almost 6000 steps in before 11:00 am by doing it as well as a strength training session. Water is heavy, and they use dumbbells specifically made to increase resistance in the water. Some of the stuff we do is HARD! Hubby and I are spending the evening on the town including a nice hotel downtown, so there’ll be no scales available tomorrow. Going to try to be careful, but intend to enjoy the evening as well. We haven’t done this in forever, and I chalk it up, at least in part, to the loss of 38 pounds since March. I’m wearing a slim black leather skirt, leggings, boots, and a sequined, off one shoulder top. I’m pretty excited!
12/15 No scales
12/16 154.0 Not bad for a couple of days off of my normal everything. Back to work today. Got in lots of activity Saturday and was exhausted yesterday, so called it a rest day. Not many goals met the last two days, but that’s ok too.
22/17 154.6 Made Christmas cookies yesterday, so I guess I ate too much batter! Focusing on protein and water today so hopefully tomorrow will be better.
12/18 154.6 Expected a drop this morning but it didn’t show up. Had a good day with food and water as well as a great workout at the gym. Hit all my goals. Oh well, maybe tomorrow!
12/19 152.8 There’s the drop I’ve been working for! Yay! Now if it will just hold! I am Mimicare now that DGD’s out of school until Jan. 7. Not sure how much gym time I will be able to carve out and I’m going to miss those classes if I can’t figure something out!

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.

This round marks my first full year in this challenge! A 2 lbs uptick doesn't sound like much, but learning to maintain my fitness means recognizing patterns. So here's my goals as I round out the year:
Goals this round:
* start building up workouts as my foot heals from surgery
* enjoy holiday baking and treats, but not to excess
* would love to achieve that "pound a round" loss, but maintaining is a must!

12/19: I'm in a definitive holding pattern- no exercise yesterday, which probably accounts for the blip upward. Day One of a new year for me. I am not getting enough exercise, which is fatal to my attitude.
Goal for today: 1/2 hour on the bike at the gym, no matter how busy I am....
Thanks for all the congratulations yesterday- seeing your names and reading your posts here every day has been a key to keeping me motivated, so let's get through the next few weeks together!5 -

Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed. / Comment
Previous posts:
12/12: 225.0
Starting tonight I am running the gauntlet of three evenings in a row of Christmas parties. The first two amount to bottomless “high quality” food and drink opportunities. I used quotation marks because the food will be delicious but will not enhance my quality of life. 😊 I am weak but I will try to find my bottom early. That sounds funny but you know what I mean.
I am in this group because I am weak on my own. In a sense I am bringing you all with me to the parties. Picture me with a thought bubble over my head with your pictures in it. HA! I know you will help me limit the damage. The scale may bump up a bit in the next couple days, but not nearly as much as without this group.
12/13: 226.6
12/14: 229.0
12/15: 228.8
The scale has almost exploded the past two days. I know why. I am a sack full of salt, water, TMI, food and inflammation these past two days. Trying to fast today until after 5:00 pm.
12/16: 226.4
The DW now seems to have what could be RSV, or just a very bad cold. Waiting for the other shoe to drop right before we head out for a vaycay. 😊
I had a meeting last night so I only fasted until 4:00 or so. It gave me some time to recover a bit. It felt good to deny myself for a change.
12/17: 226.0
No time to write. Pezhed sent me down a rabbit hole. 😊
12/18: 227.8
This may be my final scale reading before departing for some time away. I may find an unused space in the vehicle to bring the scale along. DW is against it. She says, “ there is no way you are going to control weight in Florida.” She may be right, but how will I know? I might just bring the tape measure and check different metrics other than weight. I could go on an NSV hunt.
12/11/24 : 225.0
SW on day before.
12/19: 227.4
OK, I got one more scale reading logged before I have to make a decision about schlepping the scale with me on the trip. Just depends how ridiculously full the truck is.
This annual trip is notorious for how relaxed we get. There will be no excuse for not checking in with you JGMTD peeps every day. I have the time. I may only check in every couple days simply because I am comfortably numb, and forget.
There will be extended family there in different units at the same time. Our traditional Christmas for over 30 years. (30 peeps in 6 units) DS and his adorable family will be with us for the first week. (cosey) Lots of food. So I would like to have the discipline to log every thing I eat every day. This would help me with some self-awareness about decisions I make.
One of the nephews is organizing a fun-run/walk for the whole family. 2-miles. Some will run the thing, others will walk, some will take a break in the middle. We have a bit of cross-country and marathon experience, past and present, in the family, so I expect to see some competitiveness.
I could log exercise also. We do a lot of walking. Taking my yoga mat and exercise bands. We walk right by a grocery store that has a scale in the lobby. It’s one of those scales with a huge dial at face level and a hand that sweeps dramatically. I may use it occasionally to do a self-check, and could actually post it here. I am sure the calibration is different from my home scale and of course they would call the police if I dressed the same as my home weigh-ins. But at least I could see if something is trending up or down.
The rest of this round will be spent on the road. "Danger Wil Robinson"

Backstory & Progress
********************************Previous Daily
Lived in 140-150s throughout adulthood. 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)
***************************
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 CLEAN 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” and jumping is vital to joint-health 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 👏🏻🤩 (12/11 This is down due to injury - I pledge to recommit.
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 20g 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…
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… !
****************
12/12 Stellar. I studied my journal since R231 in preparation for this round to set realistic commitments to myself. I have 💪🏻re-committed to 🚶♀️step goals and 💗Z2. By far my best results over a period of time is consistency with 🚶♀️10k+ & 💗Z2=60 min.
Finished the day strong with 🚶♀️⏱️🏋️♀️. 📝 Icon includes 300 cal deficit, P:E Ratio 1:1 & Pg macro success. If I don’t hit all three of those measures, 🚫📝!
Love my improved tracking spreadsheet. Even though I have MFP premium, I like to SEE my daily NS commitments, all in one place side-by-side. THERE’s beauty, calm & surety in ✅✅✅s!
ngl: I was distracted yesterday and at 3:30 I had to FORCE 🤸♂️🚶♀️⏱️🏋️♀️. That feeling of ✅✅✅ is unmatched!
12/13 Another 💪🏻.
I missed 💗Z2 by 10 min!
“Turning thought into action is a moment of courage and clarity — worth acknowledging and celebrating!”
Each time I resist temptation/procrastination or distraction & follow through on a commitment to myself- I will celebrate! Mindfulness also includes not only present awareness, but celebrating the change of thought patterns that lead me to #HSF. Celebrate the smallest of actions…. I often say “let’s do the hard things”, and I rarely say “let’s celebrate with excitement every small decision that leads closer to achievement. Need to give myself a 🙌🏻 more often!
ONWARD!
12/14 🚫📝💗⏱️Still in a calorie deficit - only 100. Not a win according to by goals. Hit P:E and Protein 119g….💗 only 45 minutes…. Need 60min to claim it….Played two hours of tennis so not up to ⏱️… Today will 🚶🏼♀️➡️⏱️🏋🏼♀️💗.
Looking back over Thanksgiving and one day-long brunch with the gals…. I can honestly declare that three days of eating out of routine (not gorging) coupled with eating late causing sleep depravation was NOT WORTH the two weeks+ it has taken me to get back. And, I’m still 1lb over from mid-November. Also realize that I didn’t walk or 🎾for two weeks ….. My metabolism is slow as molasses…. Quick to gain and slow to shed. FACTS that I forgot! It’s not the “pound” per se…. It’s simply the journey to get where I want to be and for the freaking “fork” in the road…. (No pun intended) that I took to get off track…. So pleased I have recommitted! A tastebud party is just not worth the pain after!
Found a few fun “core” exercises on Instagram that I will incorporate into resistance training… Enjoying!
Read more data on the benefits of IF…. This is soundly incorporated in my routine (I haven’t mentioned in a long while). My eating window is noon to 6PM. This works for me.
Onward!
12/15 EDIT I fell back to sleep and read my morning post and realized I had a typo on weight! Fixed it.
Wonderful day yesterday with ZERO going as planned… I spontaneously headed to an estate sale and spent several hours there wasting time… was so much fun! Met DS & DGS for lunch… I 1/2 of a small cuban sandwich ... DH and I enjoyed a spontaneous date night… I was actually pretty good compared to “old me” but still too many carbs managing to hold @ maintenance… @ 1450 cals. Once again… just four hours sleep because I ate later / different than usual. Bunch of 💩 in my body… So puffy. And oh, + 2 lbs! 😖I was expecting a small uptick but not 2lbs. I should know by now that my body is subject to huge swings with eating after 6PM. All this after I had declared just yesterday that going off plan was NOT WORTH it! But … back on it today! Want to earn & see more ✅ ✅✅! Wedding one week from today.
NSV: Enjoyed the spontaneity without going off the rails and faced the ⚖️ trauma this morning with a positive attitude of determination.
12/16 much better day. I tracked all, but unintentionally skipped protein shake… PE ratio was 1.4 but only 1k cal yesterday - only 60g Protein. 🚶♀️🏋️♀️💗. Still soooo puffy. Hmmmmm … Cortisol? 💤7hrs slept better but up too early. Not commenting ⚖️ just yet because it’s inexplicable.
Upcoming Sat, Sun & Mon - dinner, wedding & our anniversary…. Picked out my “outfits” for the festivities from my closet - Not going “new” because beautiful, barely worn clothes just sitting there…. Spent FOUR hrs yesterday “styling” for each day. Pulled out generations of jewelry to style…heartwarming & delightful! Then we leave early the 25th for winter hiking. Preparing for the whirlwind! Balancing the “plan” will be a challenge but doable. I find that when I nail 🚶♀️early, everything else flows in-line.
12/17 My days are running together. I guess I’m too wound up to sleep. Again, only four hours… Really good day yesterday. Will have another positive today- no time to nap.
Onward!
NSV: Staying focused on nutrition and remaining “emotionally even” during this whirl-world is a victory.
12/18 Getting closer to round ⚖️goal. On feet all day- no structured walk but 🚶♀️9k steps doing yard work. Happened to pass by my favorite dress store & what do you know, I bought a dress for Saturday night dinner … (Impromptu wedding dinner before big day Sunday). Fun trying on clothes again!
PS - Of course, X Husband (yes, “X” not using the sugar-coated version of “First” ) — swooped in last second and is hosting a “⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️” dinner for bride & groom. I actually do like his 4th wife. 🤣. Just a little of the typical drama going on the past week. This would normally drive me to the pantry, but I’ve handled it 💪🏻. THE all-time NSV!
On TMAD today. Noon & 6pm. Protein shake between. Plenty 💦. Difficult on TMAD to get my 125g of P … If I can hit 100g daily this week I’ll be pleased. Cant claim “📝”without it…. Cant claim “💗”without structured 🚶♀️. But it’s all good. For the remainder of this round, nutrition & hydration are key. This challenge is my rock!

I’m with @blueberries59 on this one. All hilarity aside, yes I LOL reading your post, I say there’s nothing wrong with ENJOYING JGMTD while on vacation. I did it for the first time last October, and it didn’t take away from my enjoyment… Plenty on here have stuck to it while on vacation ( @judefit1 ). It adds a new, interesting dimension and if successful (as defined by YOU) gives a new level of “can do will do” mojo. That feeling of loving yourself is incredible. I’m not on vacation right now… But I am challenging myself to “adhere to a T” for the next several rounds on my staycation and trip to NC. Not obsessing - simply enjoying command over my brain.
Your 30 year annual trip to Florida sounds incredibly fun… You are blessed!7 -
@healthylyna2020
“Eat real food”. This is the BEST commitment. 💪🏻
“I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me.”
May I share something with you which you probably already know? Years ago, I learned to repeat that Bible verse 10x- in a row- each time emphasizing the next successive word. Each rendition inspires a different interpretation and impactful prayer. Powerful. Thank you for reminding me. 🙏

Hello again, JGMTD crew! I'm Amanda, 39F/5'2" in Virginia
R281 SW: 127.8
R281 GW: 126.8
Planning to hit my 10-pound milestone at 127.4 this round!
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:12/12 - 128.6 🏃🏻♀️✔️ Not off to a good start on or off of the scale, but I did do some speed work on the tread and did a great 10-minute core for runners Peloton class yesterday. With DH being so stressed I've offered to walk the dogs and take care of dinner every day this week, but I'm kind of regretting it today. I'm supposed to do my long slow run today as well. I'm getting a bit more visibility at work right now so I'm going to have to rearrange my training schedule so that these ever-increasing long runs are on the weekend after the holidays. I think I can ride out Thursdays for a couple more weeks, though. I like not having to sacrifice half of a weekend day with my boys to running. Shockingly, after we get back from Puerto Rico on the 7th, the race will be in only THREE WEEKS. Whoa. By then I'll be approaching tapering my training load. Time sure is speeding by. I was hoping to get to my weight loss goal by then and start bulking/lifting heavy but we shall see.
12/13 - 128.4 🏃🏻♀️✔️ Today I will track again. I am REALLY out of the habit. I did my 8 mile run yesterday and slightly hurt my foot by stepping on some uneven terrain. It's already much better than last night, but I will skip my scheduled run today to make sure it's all better. I may go to the gym and row for some lower impact cardio and strength training. I usually just go to my basement, but I think they got a new sauna since I last went. This is all contingent on having a productive morning at work, so off I go!
12/14 - 127.4 🏋🏻♀️✔️📝 Wahoo! 10 pounds down since my restart! Already not off to a great start with tracking today - had some odds and ends at the farmers market this morning and no proper breakfast. Planning to pull it together to avoid total upheaval of progress this weekend. Mostly a rest day today other than my core workout I’ll do shortly.
12/15 - 128.6 ✔️📝 Just bouncing around here. Yesterday I ended up taking the dogs on a decent walk and doing a 5-minute core workout. I tracked everything and went over by about 800, so I know it wasn’t a pound’s worth of calories. Today I have to run for an hour. Will be on the treadmill since it’s icy and rainy today. Cookie baking day, too. I’ll have to be careful with the taste testing!
12/16 - 128.4 ✔️🏃🏻♀️ Not bad for a Monday! It was an okay weekend. I drank more than I should have and had more carbs than I should have. Saturday I woke up already overwhelmed/overstimulated and just could not get myself out of it despite being fully self-aware about it. Ended in a petty fight with DH when I had a severe protein shortage. Yesterday was a much better day emotionally. Made sugar cookies with the kids and then had some quality time with girlfriends in the evening. Lots of discussion of enneagram types. I'd never found mine out but I am firmly a 9 (peacemaker, avoiding conflict at all costs until I explode LOL). Today is a run day and I'm going to do OMAD. Happy Monday, all!
12/17 - 128.8 ✔️🏃🏻♀️🚫📝 Well, I did all the things yesterday except actually maintain a calorie deficit. I reported here I was going to do OMAD but instead I had a late lunch around 2 and then at 5 had a pack of nabs, ugh. Not sure why I was so hungry. Then DH served me up a huge plate of leftover lasagna and I devoured EVERY BITE. I was uncomfortably full afterward but I still had a plate of salad anyway to get in some greens. Between yesterday's overage and Sunday's overage I'm at a half pound of legitimate gained weight. I hit my 10-pound loss and bounced right back up. Today is going to be better - I'm determined!
12/18 - 128.8 🏋🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️✔️🚫 Not quite giving myself credit for tracking yesterday as I had some splurges later in the day in an indeterminate amount. I'm trying not to get discouraged but my goal for this round is looking increasingly distant. I already ate some cookies today and so far nothing else. Going to have to get some protein in my body shortly or else I'll really go off the rails. Also planning to pound water to flush myself out. No planned workouts today other than a dog walk and core. Feeling blah, which is fitting with the weather here today.

12/19 - 128.8 ✔️🚫 Man, cookie season is upon me. My cookie eating leads to all-things-sugar cravings and even the best day can unravel at the end. I really have to get it together if I don't want to undo all of my progress.

I survived yesterday’s Paula Deen’s office luncheon with minimal scale damage, though my blood pressure is up. My choices were over cooked salty green beans, fried this and fried that with sides of creamy-cheesy-casseroles and cheesy cornbread, and gooey desserts. I loaded up on salad, picked at the rest, said nothing of my disdain, still ate too much, and had fun visiting. Sometimes I don’t like myself for feeling this way, but can’t help wondering why I am alone in not wanting to abuse my body. Maybe next year I’ll volunteer to help with the planning.

Congrats on your anniversary @judefit1 ~ @Chapter_3 said it best, Queen is right! I'd like to be able to say a year from now I hit my goal and showed up everyday regardless. Cheers champ
Safe travels @_JeffreyD_ ~ and my 2 cents is I agree with DW! Leave the scale and tighten the belt buckle as a reminder, lol ~ If you're moving and monitoring a small uptick won't matter. Enjoyment is #1 priority!
@Skyleen75 “I’m not getting results, I’m going to give up” mindset. I’m doubling down, I’m pushing harder. I’m not going to let 170 beat me.
Reading this I immediately thought body set point? Suggesting when you try to lose or gain weight, your body may resist by adjusting hunger, metabolism, and energy use. They also say it can be altered with patience and persistence, but it could also be one of the hidden reasons Dr. Berg suggests in this video. Definitely given me some things to consider going forward. LMK what you think!2 -
@reshii_devi
“They also say it can be altered with patience and persistence,”.
THIS!
I think we all fall into the thinking “I was under my calories yesterday, why didn’t I drop my weight?” It doesn’t work like that unfortunately. It’s the long game of perseverance.8 -

AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER and most of NOVEMBER spent increasingly depressed and often sugar drunk. Regained almost 30 pounds and a ridiculous amount of fat without even noticing! This level of sabotage is extreme, even for me. My biggest gift to myself will be healing the holes inside.
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.6 -

THIS!
I think we all fall into the thinking “I was under my calories yesterday, why didn’t I drop my weight?” It doesn’t work like that unfortunately. It’s the long game of perseverance.
Soooo many people think that weight-loss is simply CICO (calories in, calories out). Soooo many other factors! CICO is a good mindset to follow, but just keep in-mind (as you already know) that there is a lot more to the picture...6 -

SW Rnd 281 135.5
12/12 135.5 Pleased with holding my own after fried chicken thigh and a Fat Boy ice cream sandwich at community bingo. Skipped the sweetened Cole slaw and Hawaiian rolls a margarine. I made myself a low carb peppermint martini.
12/13 136.0 Went out for pizza with friends. Their favorite for Chicago pizza in Vegas. The crust (which used to be my favorite part, was tasteless and thick) why didn’t I just eat the toppings like I did when I started LC/HF? Get your head on straight, Jaine!
BTW, thank you for the tip of drinking hot water! I tried it last night and it was quite good! Now I can cut down on coffee which I just heard could go up $1/pound in the next few months!
12/14 136.0 Just hanging in here. I’m okay with it.
12/15 135.0 Great Greek yesterday-side salad and 5 oz of steak, 1 T NSA peanut butter in the evening
12/16 135.5 1/2 “Italian” scramble - Egg, veg and cheese and 1 slice of not very sourdough for OMAD yesterday for brunch.
12/17 135.5
12/18 136.0 Our refrigerator is preparing to die, making a slow knocking sound. The ice maker and water quit a couple of years ago. This afternoon there are 2 HOA board meetings so it’s a busy day.
12/19 136.5 UGH Community dinner tonight. Going now for manicure, DH just told me to go buy something new to wear tonight. I hate clothes shopping.5 -

Safe travels @_JeffreyD_ ~ and my 2 cents is I agree with DW! Leave the scale and tighten the belt buckle as a reminder, lol ~ If you're moving and monitoring a small uptick won't matter. Enjoyment is #1 priority!
@Skyleen75 “I’m not getting results, I’m going to give up” mindset. I’m doubling down, I’m pushing harder. I’m not going to let 170 beat me.
Reading this I immediately thought body set point? Suggesting when you try to lose or gain weight, your body may resist by adjusting hunger, metabolism, and energy use. They also say it can be altered with patience and persistence, but it could also be one of the hidden reasons Dr. Berg suggests in this video. Definitely given me some things to consider going forward. LMK what you think!
This video is gold! There are a few immediate kernels of wisdom that I am going to adapt soon that would apply specifically to me. Cannot determine when because of the wedding and us going out of town… But I’m going to find 2 to 3 things that I can implement. I know my plateau is 129 and I really want to break through that with gaining muscle/losing fat. I know for a fact that one of my barriers right now is consistent sleep and cortisol levels… I also need to change up my IF from18:6 and consider 20:4 a few days per week. I want to learn more about the dry fast. THANK YOU!!
Oh, and I forgot to say it’s not so much the weight… It’s my body fat percentage, I would like to lower BF% 2 -3%3
