    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!

    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

    (I’m reading through today’s comments to give me more inspiration for the dinner tonight!)

    @musicsax You did not waste a round! I think of it this way: in the holiday season, just think where I might have ended up if I'd NOT been paying attention and posting here. .2 is nothing in terms of a gain. I cannot believe Christmas is almost here!

    Thank you - you are right, if I can stay at this number for the next round I will be happy & can then buckle down in the New Year. I appreciate your support <3

    But nevertheless down - well done at this particularly challenging time of year.

    RD 281 #51

    F66, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean P:E (ProteinG> (Cg+Fg) A clean/whole food WOE- Track macros, all fitness and NSVs. I’ve had an unhealthy relationship with food my entire life.

    Mission: Continuously improve daily habits that strengthen a “Healthy, Strong & Fit” identity.
    #HSF 📣#bestshapeofmylife📣
    #helpfulhabits #agingyounger

    📣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:
    ********************************

    I am tracking these individually, and will record the “icon” only when I honor myself that day.
    ⚖️ 10x
    📝 10x
    CLEAN 300 cal deficit
    P:E >1
    Pg = 115g to 125g
    🤸‍♂️10x
    🚶‍♀️+8-10k 8x
    💗Z2 60min 8x
    🏋️‍♀️+20 min 6x
    ⏱️HIIT (sprints/plyo) 5x
    📚 💦💤 7-8hrs 10x

    Backstory & Progress
    ********************************

    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! ❤️🎁🥂✨💫 🎄❤️

    So much inspiration and wisdom in the recent posts, I feel very grateful, lucky & privileged for the support given in this group. Thank you all, I am making a concerted effort to endeavour to keep vigilant to not gain in the new very challenging round, after all time with loved families is much more precious than the short time excess calorie laden goodies are in my mouth.

    @chapter_3 Thank you Carolyn for your healing cares.

    As for online resources, for me it’s because anyone can say anything. Ideas are labeled as facts often siting studies that are untrue or misinterpreted and untested. There is a lot of spin. Sometimes it’s as obvious as “PhD” being used when someone is talking about health but their PhD is in Art History. Or “studies show” when it’s an unrelated study that hasn’t been directed at the topic and hasn’t been repeated over and over and over again to get the same results.

    Actual medical periodicals for phd publishing require peer review and are held up to a high standard. They can be found on-line too but usually not on YouTube or as clickbait. Most weight loss articles or theories are designed to sell you something not educate you.

    Let’s also think about AI. I had dinner with a friend who is researching ethics in AI programming for Apple. It’s dirty.

    I’m not saying that there isn’t truth in some of these rabbit holes, I’m saying the majority of them are booby trapped.

    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. <3

    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

    12/22 – 136.4 Holding on. Will continue to report in for round 282, but likely not well.

    Only down 0.6 lb in RND 281. Another waste of 10 days.

    But nevertheless down - well done at this particularly challenging time of year.

    Thanks! Another drop (0.4 lb), today.

    I forgot to post here yesterday but I did weigh in, and I think it's been good for me to step on the scale each day. Yesterday I didn't drink nearly enough water, and my eating was off because my stove broke down and it threw my rhythms off. Nonetheless, I had a positive day and made good decisions around boundaries to maintain my energy levels.

    I really think that making the goal to laugh more did something great for my mindset. I feel generally more optimistic than I have in years past at this time. It's been easier to focus on all of my blessings.

    I'm thankful for this round, and I'm going to begin the next round today. And... TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I'm feeling good about being a year older.

    Round 281 Goals:
    1. To get back into drinking water.
    2. To log every day.
    3. To laugh more this week.

    Hi, I'm Charissa, losing the battle but still fighting the war!

    Thank you, QuiltingJaine, for keeping us focused in 2024! 
    I'm gearing up mentally and physically for 2025
    With 3 weeks left, I am focusing on reinforcing good habits and introducing a few more to take me into the new year.

    Opening Comments
    I'm ending another year NOT where I want to be, actually slightly higher  (right now)and that's not a good thing.
    BUT ~ I fear to think where I might be had I just thrown in the towel completed.
    My goal for the remainder of 2024 is to get to my starting weight for 2024, and that will be two years in a row, which is a wash.
    Putting all into perspective - maintaining is a WIN
    In the last 27 years, I have
    * Lost 4 times  (2 were in the last 5 years, which answers the question of what if I didn't even try!)
    * Maintained 2 times
    * Gained 21 times

    2024... my motto(s) -  All the things I need to read daily!!!
    🏋🏾‍♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
    Eat well 🥗to Live Well 🚢✈️🧳
    H2O - Make it Flow 💦💦💦
    Lose weight in the kitchen ⚖️, get fit in the gym🏋🏾‍♀️
    Note to Self: Alcohol kills weight loss as the focus is burning alcohol calories and not fat calories!🚫🍷
    Goals this round:
    Resuming structure~Goals and Targets
    🚶🏽- Closing my rings M-S
    🏋️‍♀️- Strength training  3x/week

    12/13 227.7 ~ urgh.... late night snacking, albeit popcorn, is the culprit. My mind is already looking to 2025 and that's not good. And it's cold too....hibernation....with comfort foods!! NOOOOOOOOOO!
    12/14 DNW ~ it's not going to be pretty. Have a Christmas party this afternoon...the good part is it's an afternoon party so maybe I can burn off some of the excess before going to bed.

    Quick update to end 281
    I have never been this consistent in my life with doing a task or being at something for continuous 3 weeks. I owe my accomplishments to this group. Round 280 and 281 led me to shifting my focus from overnight results to focusing on my day to day practice which would produce the desirable results. I have not been able to do this the whole year but just been diligent for 21 days has produced this amazing result. I am glad to jump on to the next challenge. I had company over and these past few days have been challenging. She is just interested in tasting and eating everything since it’s her first time in Germany. This has really tested my resilience. My hunger’s levels were also out of the roof and saw myself craving all kinds of sweets but I always thought about what I am going to weigh here the next day and it helped me stay on plan. I am really proud of myself 😃💃🏽

    Weighin documented on round 280 and 281

    11/30. 102kg
    12/02 :100kg
    12/03 :99.6kg

    A loss of 6.3kg almost 14lbs in 21days

    I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
