    We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

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

    This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

    Comments pertain to previous day

    SW Rnd 281 135.5 AW 136.2
    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.
    12/20 138.5 Not at all like surprised. Olive Garden is not low carb, no matter what you get. I had fasted all day. I got lots of steps trying to find something new to wear. I just wish the batteries for my watch would arrive!
    12/21 137.5 Woke up at 4:15, got up an hour later with h/a. taking neighbor to the airport at 7:30. The new refrigerator arrives today between 1 and 5.

    Another waste of 10 days.

    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!

    12/12-194.6-(Trend Weight: 193.3)-

    12/13-194.4-(Trend Weight: 193.4)-

    12/14-191.8-(Trend Weight: 193.3)-

    12/18-190.6-(Trend Weight: 192.4)-

    12/19-191.0-(Trend Weight: 192.2)-

    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!

    12/21-190.6-(Trend Weight: 192.1)- Whoosh after a little TMI finally and losing all the bloat from the past couple of days that included restaurant foods. The scale is still 0.6 higher than my lowest recent reading but I didn’t expect to come out of this past week unscathed. Now, to get back on the path of losing that 5-lbs-in-no-time-frame micro mini goal! T-Minus 3.0 lbs with 2 lbs to go. For this JGM10D challenge I am down 3.6 lbs this round with the challenge goal of ANY loss so I’m pleased as punch! I was hoping to lean into the holidays on stable footing so this really helps. Today is my DGS’ birthday party being held in a small local venue. I expect the scale will be up a bit tomorrow but I will try to maintain some sort of control. I will see you all tomorrow in round 282 which is likely the toughest round of the year for most of us. Lets make every day possible count while still enjoying “The Big Day”!


    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    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🐸

    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.

    WISDOM right there!
    Thank you @jspecies11

    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 :smiley:

    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! :smiley: 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.

    Backstory
    In 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 Challenges
    Goals
    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 Goals
    1. 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.

    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.
    12/19- 155.3 (70.4 kg) Work had a cookie Christmas party today, so chicken noodle soup for dinner was a nice counterbalance to all the sweetness.
    12/20- 155.6 (70.6 kg) I'd love to finish out the year below 155 but I am enjoying the holidays along the way, so I'm trying to think of it as a bonus if I reach it and not a hard goal to pass or fail.
    12/21- 155 (70.3 kg) Nice even end to the round. I made 10 dozen chocolate chip cookies today. Only ate 3, so yay me. Tomorrow will be rice krispy treats, or I may save those for the night before Christmas Eve so they're fresher.
