Round 282
December 22, 2024 - 31, 2024

Please join us starting on 12/22 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 282.

Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. You have only one hour to edit your post. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share. Make the board your own - track what is important for YOUR JOURNEY.

FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

If you feel your post is too lengthy, you can add spoilers to temporarily hide the information. It is readily available by tapping the SPOILER bar. To create a Spoiler just type or copy [ Spoiler ] xxx [ /Spoiler ] Omit the spaces within the brackets and put your information where I have xxx

    Due to personal circumstances, I might not be able to complete RND 282. I apologize, in-advance, if that is the case. That being said, I'm giving this round everything that I have for as long as I can. Hopefully, my efforts will show-up on my bathroom scales. Wishing everyone success this round. Let's finish 2024 with a bang! 👊💥

    Nice to see everyone again and close off 2024 in a great way! We got this 💪🏼
    No movement from yesterday's weigh in. To be fair I did eat a bit of sugar and carbs yesterday as I was out at the christmas markets hanging out with family. I also went for a 5km run and was on my feet most of the day, but as they say, you can't outrun a bad diet. Will be eating better the next couple of days. Christmas will be hard, and boxing day is dads birthday and we always go to the races and have drinks, so I think all I can expect of myself is to do well on other days but continue to be mindful on celebration days. I now recognise that when I give myself permission to absolutely do whatever I break my good habits, so moderation is a better approach for me. ✨️🌟

    🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 282 (my 212th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine.

    This round I’m again taking something forward from @Chapter_3 (again) if I may "We should be strategically engaged with our lives each day, right?! That’s my new word… ENGAGED." " I will try to keep that word ENGAGED in my mind over these new 10 days. I was also joining her in in a BHAG of 1 pound a round to the end of the year, i.e. to weigh 138 or under, however, due to a blip in the last round, I know 138 is now unachievable, however I am now going to modify that to getting to 140 something or less. 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 celebrations happen and this round includes Christmas Day. If I can keep at a pound a round, I’ll be well happy. 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.

    I’m going to acknowledge right up front that this will be the most difficult round of the year for me. No excuses though, just truth. Let’s DO this! I am stealing the Word of the Round from @Chapter_3 and @musicsax: ENGAGED--Staying engaged with my health goals in spite of celebrations and distractions sounds like a great goal for this round! Thank you, ladies!

    12/22 153.2 I’ll take this after a day which included two meals out and a couple of drinks with dinner. I was very careful about food choices and drank lots of water. Went to see “A Christmas Carol” at University of Tennessee’s Theater last night, and it was delightful! Such a wonderful production!

    12/22 171.4 Thankful for the reminder that holiday/winter weight is a very real issue (I’m too lazy to go back and see who issued the needed reminder).
    I’m proud of us all for being here.
    I skipped the movie theater popcorn yesterday. I really wrestled with the decision while waiting on line but once I got past the concession I was fine.
    I did not win the argument with my shoulder devil later in the day over a box of handcrafted chocolates. BUT that’s a solid 50% win.

    My side is feeling so much better and I plan to go to the gym tomorrow and test out some movement. I doubt I’ll be lifting heavy or doing side planks but I can modify.
    I need to move, while this much rest is healing my intercostal strain, it is hurting my back. I’m an object that needs to be in motion.

    Making my plan for holiday breakfast with DD this morning. Just saying no to anything with maple syrup should suffice.
    I signed up to bring the appetizers and the salad for Christmas dinner. This way I know there will be lots of fresh veggies and some healthy(ish) treats.

    Let’s stay ENGAGED!!!!

    RND 282 my #52

    End R281 ⚖️ 130.0
    SW R282 ⚖️ 131.0

    12/22 ⚖️ 131.0

    Just jumped on ⚖️ real quickly to get going for today. I will make a more “ENGAGED” entry later.❤️😍 I look forward to tracking and spreadsheet- Just cannot do it today and will start tomorrow. 🚶‍♀️10k steps in yesterday.

    Simple uptick from being out late last night. Cruddy sleep. TBH I thought 130 yesterday was low, but I’m good with 131 if that sticks because it was 1lb lost R281.

    Good nutrition yesterday. Good choices @ dinner. Small portions. One cocktail.

    Dinner went beautifully and I’m looking forward to cold but gorgeous weather - And celebrating with my son and his new bride!

    ONWARD!

    ONWARD! Big day ahead!

    I will be here. Thank you @quiltingjaine and thank you to all the members who make this group so special.

    I am excited for the end date of Dec 31, and the fact that Jan 1 will be the first day of the next round. That will be a nice push for me to clear my head and take batter care of myself.
