    Hello everyone. I'm happy to have found this group :)
    I'm Lis, 61 from the uk but have lived in Spain for 22 years
    Started on mfp in August 2021 at 276lb
    Reached goal in December 2022 189lb

    Since then I've lowered my goal to 182lb and had a few ups and downs!

    Currently on a big up following a lazy summer and a 6 week holiday in the usa!

    GOAL: 1.8 lb in 10 days

    12.22.24 195.8
    12.23.24 195.8 13,373 steps. Calories☆
    12.24.24 195.8 12,881 steps. Calories☆
    12.25.24 195.6 11,224.frustrated as I've upped the walking and been under on my calories and the scales is hardly moving. But I've played this game long enough to know weight loss isn't linear!! Calories 20 over maintenance so should be a neutral day!
    12.26.24 196.4 well the scales is moving ... in the wrong direction! Strict day today :)

    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.

It's been unseasonably warm, about 43° (6° C) last night and the wind wasn't blowing either.

    #ENGAGED

    End R281 ⚖️ 130.0
    SW R282 ⚖️ 131.0
    GOAL: 129.x

    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.

    R282 Commitments TO ME:
    ********************************

    I am tracking these individually, and will record the “icon” only when I honor myself that day.

    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… !

    12/22 ⚖️131.0 ✅🚶‍♀️10k. 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. 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! Big day ahead!

    12/23 ⚖️ 131.4 ✅🏋️‍♀️🚶‍♀️10k💤10hrs!!!!
    Not bad for two stressful but crazy fun days. Reviewing past 48 hr nutrition I’m quite pleased. Enjoyed my usual Sunday bacon & eggs for breakfast. Enjoyed LOTS of Champagne, two chocolate covered strawberries & FOUR Mexican Wedding cookies @ reception …. No other food. 💯 % carbs. 😂. I ENGAGED by purposely prioritizing VISITING and kept my DISTANCE from temptation. Skipped dinner cuz exhausted. I’ll post a couple of photos soon.

    TODAY: 💦💦💯🚶‍♀️🏋️‍♀️
    Cleanup/pickup work today. During my quiet time this morning, will think of how best to keep ENGAGED over the next few days while traveling. I’m thinking it won’t be realistic to keep a spreadsheet this final round of 2024 but I will definitely track all nutrition. Leaving in AM for NC. ONWARD!
    PS No travel scale… IYKYK

    12/24 Good nutrition day. Tracked until dinner out last night. Charcuterie and Scallops.
    We’ve been on road since 3:45am. Merry Christmas Eve🎄!

    Another day of not reading your posts, and I miss you! I hope you are doing well during this year’s most difficult challenge. If you’re struggling, this, too, shall pass!

    12/25- 154.7 (70.2 kg) 40 pounds down from my high weight in April 2020. Brother-in-law made bacon, sausage gravy and biscuits for brunch.
    12/26-155.3 (70.4 kg) I took an extra day off work today. Spent some quality time with my husband. Got some much needed sleep.All of the baked goods are out of the house and 75% of the candy. I had the option to be off tomorrow too, but I didn't want to use any more PTO and staying busy is good.
