@_JeffreyD_ : bring the scale, it's not a big deal. I had to learn not to dread getting on it, and it's become a companion to me through vacations and surgery. It's just a number, but it reminds me to pay attention to myself without judgment. Have fun in FL!!!

🎷 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.

60+ Female using trend weight
I lost an average of 0.3 lbs last round. My focus was supposed to be on the gym x3/week. I got sick towards the end and didn't reach that goal. Still a bit sick but improving. I will still stick with my goal but reduce amount of time spent in the gym until next round.
🐸I will keep the analogy of boiling frog in my head🐸

In fact, it will be worse as daughter is planning Chinese food which we Never Get unless traveling and two meals out will be required. Our dinner isn’t until the 28th so I hope to string together a few days after Friday where I can be compliant. I just got to stay away from the BLT’s (bites, licks, tastes) when I do my baking next week!
12/20-192.8-(Trend Weight: 192.3)- This is usually my no-weigh Friday but my schedule changed due to the school being closed. We were slammed with a winter storm so I didn’t have to get up or do an extra-early weigh-in. I was expected to travel a very long in-state day for DD’s medical appt but had to cancel that as we have been snowed in. Got some shoveling in today for sure with more to go. The rest is up to my son! I had pizza yesterday so I’m not surprised at the uptick. Also it is Day 2 with no TMI. All excuses aside, I must stick to plan today and try to reach my water goal too. It’s creeping back up and not conducive to that 5 pound loss I’ve been eyeing in the showroom window. T-Minus 0.8 lbs with 4.2 lbs to go. Time to get the gears out of reverse and move forward! Lots more packages and wrapping today. Merry Jolly Jingle Bells and all that other good stuff!

A good way to end this round! I'm going our for lunch today, although I won't deprive myself, I will be mindful and I wont be drinking alcohol. I also won't use it as an excuse to break good habits the rest of the day. My plan is to go for a run in the early evening in training for the fun run in early Feb, or at least seeing how far I can get in my training before any injury flare-ups. I've done workouts everyday this week, so I'm very pleased with myself for that. I can see the difference in my arms, they're looking more toned. Celebrate every small win! 🙌🏼🌟 looking forward to seeing you all in the next round 😀

Totally agree @jspecies11 ~ its definitely a long game!
@capewrathultra ~ absolutely. That's why I'm such a big advocate of metrics. The only way to know what works is to "know thyself."
My pleasure @Chapter_3 Although I have a GW in mind, my Measuring Tape, Body Fat, BMI, Muscle Mass, Body Water and Sleep are my most important success indicators. I've already been rotating my IF between 18:6, 20:4 or 24 this month, but will definitely include different start and end times to keep the body guessing!
I'm seriously considering incorporating dawn-to-dusk dry fasting after reading several papers, including NIH and Baylor College of Medicine stating how it improves circadian rhythm, "induces anti-atherosclerotic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumorigenic proteome in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in subjects with metabolic syndrome." and “We know that disruptions of the circadian rhythm are associated with cancer and metabolic syndrome. This type of fasting can potentially act as a reset to normal for the circadian rhythm.”
I'm only hesitating because my body water percentage is already lower than optimal. Once I've raised it a few more points, I plan to do it for 30 days after my next round of blood work and then compare markers.Blueberries59 wrote: »@everyone, @Chapter_3, @reshii_devi - I don't like to YUK someone else's YUM, but as this was posted and reposted I felt compelled to throw out some warning flags. Heath advice on youtube is a rabbit hole worth diving into. I'd do some heavy research before following Dr. Eric Berg's youtubes. He's got a lot of fans but there are a lot of nay sayers, too, for all his many videos. This video promotes dry fasting (no water, nada) for 23 hours and daily intake of 10000 IU of vitamin D (over 12 to 25 times the recommended amount)??? Worth serious investigation, like ask your doctor, especially if one is a senior, on meds, or has other issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. Dehydration can be swift & serious and lead to bad complications, so much worse than a weight plateau. Vitamin D toxicity is a real thing and this amount is well over the recommended amount. Just saying - be careful.
thank you for the warning @Blueberries59 — it’s obviously important to approach all health advice, especially from YouTube, with caution. Thorough research and consulting a doctor (or even getting second and third opinions) are always essential.
That said, fasting has been studied extensively. Research shows intermittent fasting (including dawn-to-dusk fasting like Ramadan) can support metabolism, reduce inflammation, and improve cellular repair and metabolic syndrome. However, dry fasting more than 12 hours is far more extreme, with risks like dehydration and kidney strain, so it’s not suitable for everyone.
I agree that the suggested 10,000 IU of vitamin D is excessive and risky—vitamin D toxicity is real. While there’s valid information in the video, knowing your body’s limits and seeking professional advice is crucial. Let’s stay curious but cautious! 💛6 -

Yeahhh!!! 🎉🎉 Today's weight is lower than January 1st! It's only half a pound, but OMgggg I'm so proud of me. It's going to make it so much easier to stay mindful this weekend. As much as I want to say YESSS! to everything holiday, I'm only allowing myself the occasional nibble for the rest of the month. I'm even saying no to the alcohol and saving it for New Years! No more regrets!

Restart November 24th - December 31st“One step at a time is good walking.” – Chinese Proverb
I was concerned about restarting during Thanksgiving Week, but finishing these first seven days much more aware of my body and its new limitations. "Eye-opening" is an understatement. Trying to move with these extra 25 pounds feels like being trapped in an marshmallow costume made of cardboard.

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)
6/5 - 196.8
6/6 - 195.1
6/7 - 195.3 (LAST DAY REPORTING)
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.7 -

Thank you for this! My initial reaction to a “dry fast” was that it wasn’t for me but I wanted to know about it since I’d never heard of it. The video was insightful. I always do my own research… Anything I read/see I triple check. Much of what he presented was main stream keto / Ketovore… Thx again!
@reshii_devi Thank you for the additional info. Great research!
So much to read & learn. Congrats on your results thus far. ⭐️💪🏻⭐️ Your commitment is contagious & inspiring!
When I get through the holidays, I am definitely going to try rotating IF. One day/week at a time.

@BigappleBritt88 I think the Ancient Nutrition is okay! Flavor wise, I've been enjoying Truvani chocolate protein powder because it only have a few ingredients. It's also made with a lot of ground chia seeds, so if you blend the truvani for about 2 minutes in a blender, it will get creamy and frothy even though it's dairy free. ... The one thing I LOVE about the Ancient Nutrition is that the added adaptogens seem to really make a difference in my body with things like inflammation and sustained energy throughout the day. I use Kettle & Fire Bone broth when I'm craving it.
Nice! I’m a fan of less ingredients. I had stopped with the protein powders I was using because they kill my stomach after a while so I was curious about the bone broth. I think I’ve seen the kettle & fire brand at Costco. Thank you for the info! I might have to try some of these. The truvani sounds intriguing too. I don’t think I’ve ever tried anything with chia seeds

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.
4. Hit maintenance calories.

Gym: skipped. Puppy kept us up all night long and in the time we actually did sleep he had an accident. I woke up to a massive clean up situation.
Wins: I’m on track for maintenance 2nd day in a row.
Challenges: I guess the remainder of the night would be the challenge. Let’s not self sabotage today’s progress 🙏🏼

🎷 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.

12/12 140.4 (trend 141.4) – this number would have been nice yesterday, but I’m pleased to see it today, let’s hold on to it & lose a little more. 10 miles walked yesterday.

12/14 140.8 (trend 141.2) 7.14 miles walked.

12/16 140.4 (trend 141.1) 11.61 miles walked.
22/17 140.4 (trend 141) 7.85 miles walked. Christmas carvery lunch with DSs today, will make sensible choices.

12/19 142.6 (trend (141.2) – ugh! Don’t ask, the Christmas chocolate & goodies!! 6.68 miles walked.
12/20 143 !!!! (trend 141.4) – no structured walking, drove up to Sheffield to watch little DGDs nativity play & carol concert, so so enjoyed it, but a total of almost 4 hours sitting in the car !! Doing an especially ‘on track’ day today to counterbalance!
12/21 141.6 – (trend 141.4) that’s better, but what a waste of a round after that Christmas goodie fest; that's given a 0.2 pound increase from the end of last round. 9.65 miles.
👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!! 👍👍.

Round 281
Dec 12 -22, 2024
62 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126
Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.
History:Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a two grandsons. We have two parents, 87(mother), 85(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse (father has since passed and I am DPOA, Personal representative AKA executor, trustee, and oversee the majority of my mother’s care). A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/12 – 135.4 Absolutely a miracle number. I have stepped on the scale here and there in my absence, and I have seen some other less pleasant numbers. I was truly shocked this morning when I prepared for a check in. Goal this round is just to get back to tracking and giving myself that little bit of time each day. I would rather succeed at that than pick a lofty goal when I am already struggling to focus again.
12/13 – 135.4 Checking in way late in the day. Not when I would normally prefer. But I did not miss/skip a day. That is a win or sorts!
12/14 – 135.0 did not track yesterday, but did not do any crazy binges. It is so interesting how habits that can be “easy” for me, like tracking, can turn into something I struggle with. Currently, I am just trying to limp along until I make it down to Florida. I head there for 4 months right around new years. Meanwhile, I need to have my mother and her aids square away for my absence. Get my home in order to be left alone. Host x-mas for 15, which I cook for extensively, and just general holiday stuff.
Currently, once in Florida, my friend “susan” is going to introduce me to the gym she uses three times a week. Another friend “renee” likes yoga, and I have promised to try some classes during the times she is down there. I’ll have my walking group for in the morning (but that seems to be falling apart a bit). When I get home in May, I will be shopping for my mother of the groom dress, so whatever happens in those 4 months will be deciding.
Has anyone tried the habitnest books? I’ve asked for the weight training one as an xmas gift. Supposed to have like 67 completely defined gym workouts. It sounds like a great way to re-introduce myself to the gym (yes, I have used all sorts of weights in my past).
12/15 – 134.6 another late day posting
12/16 – 136.0 Odd. Yesterday had been reasonable, while previous days, so go. Was not where I expected the uptick. Anyhow, I reported in and the day is not over!! A win!! See you in a few hours.
12/17 – 135.4 Haha! Full circle for me. I’m not yet tracking
12/18 – 135.8 Gotta just get to 2025!
12/19 – 136.0
12/20 – 137.4 Totally unexpected!
12/21 – 137.0

@Skyleen75 : "I do have to agree with @blueberries59 about health advice from online sources. I don’t go down those rabbit holes.
I’m kind of just on my own path."
I'm with you- I understand the motivation to try things to "jump start" our bodies to get things going as long as the end goal is finding my way to eating patterns that will be sustainable and healthful for a lifetime. That goes with exercise too- it has to work with my "everyday" life.
@capewrathultra: Please don't feel like you wasted 10 days! You succeeded in weighing every day and the needle moved in the "down" direction! If you lose .6 lbs every day for a year, you'd still end up losing 22 lbs! Hang in for another 10 and see what happens...

GOALS:
*Go back to tracking everything and maintain my spreadsheet!
* At least 8000 steps each day, but hopefully over 10,000 at least 4 times during the round
* Strength training 2-3 times this next week.
* 90+ grams of protein each day.
* 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!
12/20 153.4 Gave in to some holiday treats, but didn’t eat much the rest of the day. Too many carbs, I guess. Did get to go to my workout though.
12/21 153 Went to Aqua Fitness even though I was tired and almost talked myself out of it. So glad I did!

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!

12/21: Woke up this morning to a sugar coating of snow- so pretty!
Friday night with DD#2, DGD#1 got into her 1st choice college (YAY!!) and got a very nice size scholarship (double YAY!!), so we had something great to celebrate. I cannot believe I will have a grandchild in college- where did the time go???
End of round and still within goal range, so it's a win. But as I noted to @capewrathultra: .6 lbs every round works out to 22 lbs over a year, and that works in both directions- I'd be right back at 150, so the work will kick up after New Years!

Yes! I followed the plan and got some results. However, today is fraught with peril. I have an after-swim breakfast, a trip to Costco, (putting up a guardrail here - no samples!) then a date with DD to make bourbon balls ( again, no samples!), followed by a Christmas open house this evening. The good news is my various holiday affairs are with different people so I’m wearing the same thing I wore to all of them - one less thing to stress over.
My plan of attack for the party: To pre-eat a healthy, light dinner, stick to one glass of wine, pretend-nibble on appetizers, and exclaim how delicious they are while eating very little, drink lots water in a pretty glass, and have a nice time. It’s a bit of an act which I aspire to perfect until it’s genuine. Fake it till you make it, right? These are behaviors I’ve learned from my slender friends, one of whom is the hostess. Knowing tomorrow is the start of a new round may give me extra incentive.
As @MisDaily pointed out, today is the winter solstice – embrace the shortest day of the year and all its twinkling darkness as a gift. It's a special day!

12/19- 238.4- I fasted well this entire session, but my nutrition on the weekends always seems to slack. I am concentrating on keeping it on track this week. I think snacking during football is my biggest downfall, so I am really going to watch that this weekend.
12/20- 238.4 Dumbell workout yesterday, fasted for 18 hours, ready for the weekend!!
12/21- 238.2- quick workout yesterday. Met my nutrition goals for the whole session. Definitely in the next round, seeing how my daily decisions directly affect my numbers really helps me during the day.
Super proud I have made it through 2 complete rounds, I need the momentum heading into the holiday!!7 -
I enjoy reading everyone’s posts with my morning coffee.

12/21 173.6 Did I really gain 4 lbs this round? Kind of. This is the first round since October reset that my average is up and over 170.
It’s amazing how much can change in ten days. It will be just as amazing to change it in the other direction! I’m ready to crush it.
I have been on couch rest for two full days with very limited mobility from an intercostal muscle strain. It’s really hard to rest your ribs. It’s really hard to rest in general for three days.
Feeling much better today but I’ve already been warned not to over do it. Thankfully we didn’t get much snow. DH is working. I’m going use the leaf blower to clear the paths.
I do have to join the world today. I’m going to the movies with a friend. My goal this morning is to skip the popcorn.
I need to heal up and get back to the gym. I’m cranky when I can’t work out.

📣BHAG Restated: My FIRST BHAG is to hit 128xlbs on this #HSF journey and maintain a “+ or -“ 2lb range @128lbs by 1/10/2025. I want a sustainable #HSF BHAG that’s achievable with hard work & determination.
R281 Commitments TO ME:

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!
12/19 ⚖️ I’m not surprised by the scale as I’ve been loyal & vigilant. Starting to “feel” like myself again. Nutrition going as planned, but not movement. If I was super “radical”, I would plan two🏋️♀️sessions to reach my 6x goal. Hmmmmm 🙂 Today, I have time to 🚶♀️💗🏋️♀️. I’ve carved out time to get it done first thing this morn. This afternoon I’m taking DGS for his annual Christmas shopping to shop for his “two” families. He totals available funds, creates a budget & then he shops! Homemade Christmas cards tonight.
12/20 TMAD worked well yesterday. Loaded up on electrolytes. Beautiful extended 🚶♀️& 💗Z2 yesterday. 🏋️♀️for 35 min - sore this morn. The good sore.
Will do same today. IF 18:6. I’ll enjoy a huge omelet at noon and big protein @ 6PM. 💦💦💦
I’ve done well this round but the big issue is missing sleep. (Today up @ 2:45) I’m guessing that’s in-line with the upcoming weekend. Mostly on target with to-be-expected drama - nothing too crazy except the brides dress was lost in the mail. She is quite upset-shopping today to find a replacement. (I offered mine as a back-up - Lord forbid! 😂. We got a good laugh out of that one!) After the initial let down, she’s actually handling it quite well.
DGS wanted to skip our traditional Christmas haul & cards. I was disappointed but understood- He was super, super tired. We played RISK instead in front of the fire with Christmas Music … solid family time & thats what matters most. (It was actually better than the hectic holiday frenzy that was originally planned!)
NSV: Tracking on the “spreadsheet” is really going well with keeping me focused. I highly recommend for those so inclined. Those ✅s go a long way launching reflection. When I miss a ✅, it leads me stop, think, prioritize & adapt.
Another NSV: I’m finding that the practice of mindfulness & reflection over this past year and a half has positively changed many aspects of my chosen behaviors. It’s easier for me to step back and take stock vs mindlessly reacting. Why didn’t I embark on this journey sooner? Mind, body, spirit.
I hope everyone has a beautiful day and weekend!

12/21 💤4 hrs again 🥹Successful round.- kept my word. I’m back to pre-Thanksgiving ⚖️ on 11/21. It’s been months since I felt like a JGMTD round made a difference! (Psychological).
And I’m noting that I hit my JGMTD goal at the end of November last year - taking approximately four months… And I’ve “generally” hovered one to 2lbs +- for an entire year! When I noticed, it was more than 2 pounds, I nipped that in the bud prompto! WOO-WHOOOO! All thanks to JGMTD!
Today the determination shifts up a gear, poised with an extra layer of patience to conquer the plateau. BHAG ⛰️is now within sight. I’ve reached base camp. Ready to ascend the peak and take up permanent residence on the ⛰️ mountaintop!
I’ve been enjoying an active engagement (awareness) during this round - getting back to a #HSF routine. We should be strategically engaged with our lives each day, right?! That’s my new word… ENGAGED.
Dinner tonight and Wedding tomorrow! I’ll be extra careful not to backtrack. Remaining steadfast will not be a sacrifice - only a celebration of commitment. Food as fuel. Let’s have fun! Hoping for 🚶♀️10k today & tomorrow, then back to more #HSF training.
See y’all on R282!. Enjoy this weekend! ❤️🎁🥂✨💫 🎄❤️

To all of you beating yourselves up over this round, I’m in the same boat so I did some reading on why it’s so hard to drop or even keep weight stable in winter.
It’s not rocket science - it’s just hard.
We are less active generally due to the weather and have more of a tendency to eat more with tempting warm holiday food added to complicate things.
The struggle is real- just don’t give up on yourself.7 -
@Skyleen75 prayers up for you! Being sideline is just the worst… but you will prevail.4

Probably my worst round in quite some time.
Lessons learned: Hydration helps, gym cardio is a must, Friday night wine adds empty calories and puts me off my nutrition plan, do not base a weight goal simply on the last weight but use a trend.
Let’s move on to round 282.
Thank you @quiltingjaine for keeping us accountable.4 -
“Online Resources”
Not sure why “online resources” are getting a bad rap… I have learned so much with access to multiple experiences & experts, providing data to reason/sift through what’s best for me. Heck, isn’t MFP an online resource? 😉
Love to all! ❤️

I don’t consider it a waste of 10 days. You have given others support (YAY) and probably learned something yourself. Look at the loooooooong picture! And thank you for staying!5
