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.

12/30: And this is why this group is so very awesome, and why it's so important for me to stay connected! I think I've managed to catch myself before doing serious damage- the weight goes on SO FAST and comes off sooooo sloooow. Yesterday was a good day- healthy (multigrain) carbs, veggies. fruit and leftover chicken fajita filling without the fajitas. It worked. Today we leave for my DB in CT- eating there is a bit of a challenge, but I'll stay aware. I wasn't going to bring the travel scale, but it's going in the bag right now...
See you tomorrow for the last day of 2024!!6 -
I've missed a few days and just catching up on my posts.
@Chapter_3 - Great pics. Lovely family! Glad the wedding event was such a success.
@MizDaily – A Christmas Eve babe! Happy belated birthday! “It was a very special day, probably the best birthday in over 20 years.” 😊 That is wonderful, so happy for you. You deserve a special day. And the Apple Protein Shake – Yum!
@Desolate_Angel – So very sorry about the loss of your precious dog. My heart goes out to you and your DH. Hearts and Hugs. AND congrats on being 40 pounds down! That is quite a Christmas gift!
Welcome @badats! Hoping you will love this group as I do.
Hey @JudeFit1 – Good looking kids! And great shots of NYC too.
@Kristawatkins52 – Sounds like you have a supportive DH, and that is worth gold. Ultimately this is a fight for your life, your dreams, not his. You’ve started the process and you’re on your way!
@pezhead – Darling Christmas photo!!!
@lita_loses_it_all and @tishabenn69 - Both of your posts ring of people ready and willing to make thoughtful and doable changes, for as long as it takes. Perfection is not required. Guilt is counterproductive. I look forward to reading about your journeys.
@itlaydee and @bigapplebrit88 and all @popcorn lovers – I must admit I smuggled some boring, home-popped popcorn into Wicked last month. DH did as he always does and bought a whole bucket and previously I always had some. Not this time. I had a plan. Was it delicious? No, just ordinary. Did I eat it till I was sick? No, because it wasn’t hyper-palatable junk food. Was I satisfied? YES. Take note, Regal!

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 282: 155 (70.3 kg)
12/22-155.3 (70.4 kg)
12/23- 156 (70.8 kg) Not surprised after a night out with meatloaf, mashed potatoes and brown gravy and a side of chili for dinner. We did walk the boardwalk to see the Christmas lights after dinner since it was a mild night and only sprinkling a tiny bit. It's been unseasonably warm, about 43° (6° C) last night and the wind wasn't blowing either.
12/24- 155.9 (70.7 kg)It was supposed to be a 1/2 day at work followed by finishing prep for hosting Christmas Eve. This morning as almost every morning for over 2.5 years my husband took the dog for an off leash run in the field. Same loop, same routine as always. This time, for some reason he ran out of the field and was struck by a car. It was dark and raining. It wasn't their fault. The emergency vet said he wasn't going to make it. We had to put him down. They were going to hold off for the 40 minutes it would take to get there from work, but they couldn't. I got to say goodbye through speakerphone. We still hosted because family is important. I didn't track. I have a dog sized hole in my heart, but I'm sticking to the plan of getting rid of most of the leftover sweets after tomorrow. I cannot fill this hole with food.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 90% of the candy. I had the option to be out tomorrow too, but I didn't want to use the PTO and staying busy is good.
12/27- 157.1 (71.3) Ring feels tight today. I usually don't bother taking it off before bed, but I am tonight. I think I need to drink more water.
12/28- 156.3 (70.9 kg) Over calories, under maintenance. I call that a win. Didn't do well with prioritizing water. Need to remind myself to stay hydrated.
12/29- 155.1 (70.4 kg) No matter where I end this round, I'll still weigh less than I did at the start of the year. Stuffed tonight from a dinner of crockpot turkey breast, roasted potatoes and turkey gravy made with the drippings from the crockpot and white wine.

@itladyee Thank you for asking. Evenings have been hardest for me, while it's mornings for my husband, but we're doing our best to share happy memories of Finn and his shenanigans.
Finn was absolutely precious! *hugs*4 -

Round 282
December 22, 2024 - 31, 2024
My Round 3 😊
HW 222 in 2017
GW 130
Goals this session:
5. Keep net carbs below 30
6. Record ALL dietary intake
7. Lose one pound in ten days—during the holiday season
👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE 👍👍
SW Rnd 282 150.8
12/22 150.8 Birthday party for my mom yesterday. Had a tiny piece of ice cream cake Carbs were too high but calories were right on the money.
12/23 148.4 Treadmill yesterday
12/24 148.4 Treadmill yesterday, carbs too high, calories ok.
12/25 147.8 MERRY CHRISTMAS! DS and family will be here for Christmas Dinner
12/26 148.4 Today is a new day. Went over a little yesterday in both carbs and calories; however, I still tracked everything I ate and drank.
12/27 147.2 On plan
12/28 146.8 On plan yesterday. I am not going to look a gift horse in the mouth; however, I lost four pounds this week and probably will not lose again for six weeks. I wish weight loss occurred more linearly or predictably.
12/29 145.6 On plan yesterday.
12/30 146.4 On plan yesterday.

@capewrathultra – Just read your last post. It’s really hard to put it all out there when things aren’t going well. Showing up is hard and you’ve done it. I feel certain one day soon it’ll click and you’ll make some small consistent changes and you’ll watch the numbers go down: tick, tick, tick. Stick with us. Reach for small changes. Celebrate each tiny win. They add up. You can, but you don’t have to employ the go-big plan. It’s not important how long your journey takes. You are worth taking care of! (and thanks for the attagirl
)

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.

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🎄!
12/25 Merry Christmas!
No sugar day! 1350 cal, P100g Traveling to NC was a breeze. Beautiful day for hiking.
Peace on Earth🙏
12/26 1200 cal; P 80g, 🚶♀️16k, 💤8 ,💗Z2 80min
Beautiful day of walking (I wouldn’t call it hiking… Today will be a little more strenuous). Ate satsumas, mixed berries. (Waiting for my digestive system to respond!) Good Carbs ⬆️, no refined sugar/deserts! Not enough protein. Staying present. Feeling 😎💪🏻
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!
Engage & Believe.
12/27 4 mi strenuous hike (in areas) ✅🚶♀️15k 💤10hrs 💗Z2 60 min, 1150 cal, P128g; P:E 2:1
All round terrific day. Beautiful weather, hike, steak dinner. No sugar no alcohol. I’m realizing I don’t need to “splurge” on vacation to have a wonderful time. Laughter & strenuous exercise fill the bill. Sleeping like a ROCK! Enjoying taking care of me! I’ve given myself permission to indulge, but when temptation sits in front of me, I’ve declined so far. it’s easier in a controlled environment. Keeping the 🏔️in sight. Engaged.
(Hoping to catch up with post’s tomorrow!) Onward!
12/28 1500 cal, Pg108, 1:1. 💤9hrs
Good nutrition, but I ate too much based on zero exercise yesterday. Rained ALL day. Today will be another FULL rain-out… tomorrow too! Cabin Fever - considering going home early… will eat less knowing we won’t be “moving”. I should’ve brought my resistance bands. Will next time lesson learned. Pleased to be sleeping well. Onward.
12/29 💤10 hrs. No tracking. Did not “overeat” but had my first sugar since 12/22 - two large PB chocolate chip cookies after lunch. All day rain. ⛈️Skipped dinner - just not hungry. ✅🚶♀️8k. Headed home today. ⛈️⛈️⛈️. It’s been a great trip for Sleep and 3 days of hiking.

12/30 TBH I’m disappointed in the scale this morning. I was really, REALLY good on vacation! My only thought is that I ate later than usual last night, “systems” are still irregular, in the car all day yesterday and 💦down… Puffy puffy this morn. This is clearly evidence that I have some sort of dysphoria … Who in their right mind would be disappointed with this result? However, I am. I had a wonderful holiday (including nutrition & 💦) and yet I’m deflated because of the scale. Many feelings.
Pg 105, P:E 1.2:1, 💤8.
Get to see our doggos today!Lots of puppy kisses!
Even though I have many negative thoughts, I am determined to get back on routine, mindfulness & I will fully ENGAGE! This negativity will pass after COFFEE!
Today: 📝🤸🏼🚶♀️💗🏋️♀️🎾
Note: ⚖️ 12/31/23 = 131.0. So I’m EXACTLY same weight. (But this was an uptick after avg. 129.0 of month of Dec 23.) Am I being hard on myself? No. THIS IS BUSINESS. I’m at base camp and I’m ready to ascend the 🏔️!
#HSF is NOT an easy journey. ITS HARD. But it’s worth it!

Round 282
Dec 22 -31, 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
12/22 – 136.4 Juggling lots. Started this post this morning. Never finished, but here it is at 7:30 PM
12/23 – 136.4 I guess I should be pleased. Hardest part of weighing this morning was undressing. It is 8 degrees outside at the moment, the townhouse we bought in 2021 has an uneven heating system, and the coldest room in the home is the master bath where the scale is. Could not bring myself to weigh at 5 am, when I first woke. But got it done before morning coffee. I think my number somewhat has to do with my digestive system. I am normally a “morning girl” and that has not been the case for three days. I am wondering if the 10 days of augmentin for the cat bite disrupted my gut biome. Anyhow, onwards we go. Gotta make it through the end of the year the best I can, then I have basically 4 months for a re-set of habits. Have a good day all!
12/24 – 136.2
12/25 – 136.0 Got my post up early today before more “can go wrong”. Crazy couple of days!
Anyhow, wishing every a wonderful holidays season. A Merry Christmas today to those for whom this is a holiday.
12/26 – 136.4
12/27 – 136.8
12/28 – 137.8
12/29 – DNW Gotta just get through two more days and to the new round. Jan 1 at 7 am, we start our 1600 mile drive to snowbird in Florida. I will have 12 hours of screen time that day!
12/30 – 137.0 I got myself on the scale this morning. Yay! Not sure what is coming my way today, but going to go my best to track.

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 4 times per round.
* 90+ grams of protein each day.
* Drink more water!
SW RND 282: 153
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!
12/23 152.2 Got in a nice long walk on a crisp, cold, beautiful afternoon and ate high protein. Fresh made sausage balls count as protein during Christmas week, if I’m not mistaken! Can you believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve? Tomorrow is our big day with grandchildren, and we always have an hors d'oeuvres meal that day. It’s my favorite! It’s been tradition in our family as long as I can remember. This first year without both of my parents, I am treasuring the traditions even more.
12/24 153.2 Not surprising all things considered.
12/25 152.2 Once I was finished with the cooking, I regained some control yesterday. I’m pleased with this but the day is young! Lol. Merry Christmas everyone! I had no idea how to track what I did eat, but I focused on proteins. So, no spreadsheet for yesterday, but I’m thinking protein was fine.
12/26 152.2 So happy with this! Hubby and I were alone on Christmas Day since the kids were at the other grandparents, so he made us a special Christmas morning breakfast of eggnog French toast. I enjoyed it, but ate a reasonable amount instead of all I could force in my body. Lol. Then we dressed up in the early evening and had reservations at a wonderful seafood restaurant for dinner (in a slim sweater dress I couldn’t have even thought about wearing last year). It was a holiday buffet and I ate only my most favorite things and, again, reasonable amounts of them. I did enjoy every nibble of 1/2 a piece of chocolate cheesecake with strawberries and Chantilly cream on the side as my dessert. I left with a very happy mouth, a satisfied tummy, and feeling wonderful.
12/27 152.6 Today we fly to FL with DGD since Mimicare for a 4 year old is easier at the beach condo. The food challenges change today. Leaving behind all the Christmas treats, but there will be other food challenges that await me. Hoping to get in more activity though since the weather should be nice most of the trip. The cold front that is approaching the southeast will, though, impact Florida as well. When it’s in the 50s in FL (late next week forecast), that’s a different kind of cold!
12/28 154.0 Different scales for the rest of the round and they usually weigh a little bit heavier. So this is my set point for the rest of the round. I didn’t eat enough to gain 1.4 pounds yesterday, so I don’t know if it’s the scales or a small gain and travel bloat or what, but it really doesn’t matter. I’ll start from here for the next few days. It’s fine. I had a great round during the Christmas holidays and I’m very pleased at holding steady, with even a small loss through all of that. I had had the crud all week (cough, congestion, etc) so I went to the Doc yesterday morning—walking pheumonia (both grands had had it so I figured as much and a double ear infection—that was FUN on the flight down!) So, we will see how the exercise goes down here. Hope to still be able to get in a lot of walking, yoga, and a few weights. Fingers crossed.
12/29 153.6 Got in a long walk yesterday morning shortly after posting here. Figured that would be the best time to get that done. Ate only to satiety and tried to focus on proteins. That will be the game plan while I’m here. Also need to push more water, but I did well on that yesterday too.
12/30. 153.2 Did really well yesterday with food in spite of an all you can eat buffet brunch. Got in a good walk, twice! Headed to Busch Gardens with the DGD today, so there’ll be lots of walking but poor food choice availability. Last day of the round, so I have to stay engaged in my health goals!

@quiltingjaine good for her! What was her major?
She got both her Bachelor’s and Master’s in Interior Design (not the same as interior decorating as Hallmark thinks.) She’s working at an architectural firm in Kansas City.5 -

Just Give Me 10 Days Challenge
Age: 52
SW 436.8
GW 435.8
Additional goals for these 10 days: 4 bottles of water a day, change soda intake to 1 every other day or less. Most meals prepared at home.
Mantra for these 10 days- What you are not changing, you are choosing. Just for today, I choose life and doing things that support life.
12/22-436.8-all water in 💦 NSV: journaled
12/23-434.8- all water in, very late finishing them 💦 FF today, 1 large root beer NSV: moved more, rested less
12/24-DNW all water in, all meals made at home today-I started drinking water very early today and forgot to weigh in beforehand. Will weigh in tomorrow morning. Bought myself an early Christmas present, a fitness watch. Began counting steps today. Happy about that. Happy Holidays!
12/25-432.4-Some of the water retention is resolving, so that is a plus and I know will cause some quick drops initially. It’s been interesting to actually eat regularly throughout the day and feel better, feel changes happening. I’m typically a binge eater followed by long periods (sometimes even days) of deprivation, and intense guilt. Doing it different this time. No extremes or fads this time. Being patient with the process and working to be consistent on more days than not. Progress not perfection, moving in the right direction. Merry Christmas!
12/26-DNW-went totally off the rails today!!! 🤦🏾♀️🙅🏾♀️ No water, skipped meals, ate fast food (FF), AND totally forgot to post on the 26th! I’m still here.
12/27- 433.0. Not as much as I expected considering I derailed! I opted not to cook the pasta for the party and instead ordered it. Took LOADS of pressure off me!
RESULTS: Party was AWESOME, and I definitely cashed in the flexibility I talked about. However, overall, stayed in control with eating. I wanted a cookie, I ate a cookie. I had everything I wanted within reason. Except wine/spirits. I had two six ounce glasses of wine, and 4 mixed drinks, and loads of fun ☺️I kept active and away from the food island. Better step count today. Still, no weigh in tomorrow! But I will post. NSV: NO BINGE EATING AT THE PARTY. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
12/28-431.2-I woke up early this morning and said nope, I’m getting on the scale-don’t want to slip back into habit of skipping, even on challenging days. Very surprised at result! But, in between games etc. I danced a lot. 3 bottles of water in so far. Eating well. Moving well. I am snoopy dance proud 💃🏾🕺🏾
12/29 436.6-drats, it all caught up? I don’t think so though, because of how I feel, so I’m going to hold on to that. I bumped up H2O yesterday to 6 bottles (96 ounces) but leaving 4 as the goal to finish these ten days. No soda for 2 days, not even at the party, so that’s good. NSV: Still not dead, still here, and still moving forward in the direction of healthy, sustained, and happy life. BP 141/82 pulse 70 which is a significant improvement.
12/30-434-Still below my goal for these ten days. Received an invite to a New Year’s Eve Party, but I plan to go to church and come home. I really want to hit my goal and go into the next 10 days challenge on a high note. Another party night is not going to cut it right now. Water back to 4. Body is not ready to handle/process six yet.

SW Rnd 282 137.5
12/22 136.5 New refrigerator arrived - WOW, is it big! DH and I went to grab a bite while we waited for it to cool down then came home to put the food in. It’s so different I know it will get rearranged.
While we were eating DH said we need to get back to eating right. (He realizes it all went to pieces when he had each of his shoulders replaced and then got on the HOA board.) I told him I had already decided to just start anew on New Year’s Day.
12/23 137.0 I am currently having a really bad vertigo attack. Moving my eyes is making me dizzy. Our Christmas traditions began in 1976, when we moved into our first house. Christmas Eve pizza and Christmas morning “sticky buns.” These continue with both daughters and their families, I believe. And this year for the first time in almost 4 decades we are going to a NYE party.
12/24 138.0 Pasta, meatballs and sauce and a small slice of homemade sourdough garlic bread, 1/2 of a sugar free bear claw pastry - our friends wanted us to see how good they are. Tonight-pizza.
12/25 136.5 This morning down to DD’s. 48 sticky buns rising in the car ready to be baked at her house. First I need a cup of coffee.
12/26 138.0 Yesterday’s sticky buns for breakfast and lasagna and rosemary bread for dinner at friends’.
12/27 136.5 I’m pleased with this. BBQ yesterday. *5:30pm - batteries finally arrived for Vivofit after 5 weeks
12/28 137.0 Did nothing yesterday- didn’t even get dressed.

I feel certain one day soon it’ll click and you’ll make some small consistent changes and you’ll watch the numbers go down: tick, tick, tick. Stick with us. Reach for small changes. Celebrate each tiny win. They add up. You can, but you don’t have to employ the go-big plan. It’s not important how long your journey takes. You are worth taking care of! (and thanks for the attagirl )
You're welcome and thank you! I'm all geared-up for next round. #staytuned 5 -

12/29-193.8-(Trend Weight: 192.7)- The good news: I’m down nearly half a pound after our family Christmas party and dinner (Feast) so I managed to control the eating pretty well.
The bad news: this is what my trend weight app had to say this morning:
Yes, you read that right…..only 50 more years to go based on how I’ve been doing. I turn 65 in May.
Now, to contend with all the leftover cookies, pies and fudge. Yes, everyone took some home. I will have to put my thinking cap on to figure this one out.
12/30-194.4-(Trend Weight: 192.9)- I ate at about Midnight last night after getting hungry and realizing I hadn’t had any dinner. My DD and DGS have been here the past few days and my DGS really keeps me busy. Heartburn today and I didn’t sleep well last night. I will have to re-train myself to be hungry at appropriate hours!

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 just 10 days left, I am focusing on reinforcing good habits and introducing a few more to take me into the new year. Not focusing on the scale for now. I am also happy this round ends on 12/31 and we start the year FRESH and ENGAGED
Opening Comments from round 281I'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:

Dates = Weight ; Comments regarding prior day.
12/22 ~ 227.4 ~ tomorrow’s number will not be pretty. I actually made the cookies on Saturday and did really well. I think I had two. Today, not so much, I’ve made up for restraint I had. Tis the season and It’s only one day. While I make several types, there are only two that I really like and they are almost gone! Yipee!!!
12/23 228.3 ~ totally expected. Now that I’ve gotten those cookies out of my system, we should start moving downward!
12/24 DNW ~ I did, but I’m not taking ownership I’m a bit melancholy today but responding to post is helping…. Just that time of the year and the reflections. I think I need to work on building new traditions vs focusing on what was. I’m riding out through the end of the year and ready to hit 2025 like it stole something!!
12/25 229.3 Merry Christmas Everyone!
12/26 228.1 Christmas was nice, nothing too out of the ordinary. Today was travel day as I took my sister back home (about 1.5 hours one way). Did splurge for lunch/dinner (Mexican). It was good, but my stomach wasn’t quite happy with the sudden overload! TMI, I know…. I was invited to a last minute party for tomorrow but I'm a little "peopled" out...so not sure if I will attend.
22/27 227.7
12/28 228.1 ~ didn’t go to the party. Instead watched a few episodes of a miniseries, went to bed and slept in! Got out and got a good outside walk…felt great.
12/29 228.1. End of year count down. I’m ready. I made a nice comfort meal today but had it for lunch and I also made cinnamon rolls but I put half of them away in the freezer. Kinda like the prisoner's last meal
12/30 229.0 ~ Cinnamn rolls! They were pretty good for my first attempt.
12/31
@desolate_angel ~ oh how handsome. Looks like a lab mix maybe? Yes, remember the fun and how Finn made you laugh!! Thanks for sharing the pictures!
@slimmersixties ~ you are killing it!! nice work!
@reshii_devi ~ so sorry for your loss. It's terrible anytime, but around the holidays, just adds insult to injury. Praying for you.
@kristawatkins52 ~ the ICE waters are good too. Hopefully you can find a decent substitute. Half the battle is just putting something in your hand other than water and of course alcohol. The juice brand is Ocean Spray. Happy Birthday to your daughter!
@Skyleen75 ~ Take it easy in the gym and enjoy your extravagant meal tomorrow. There's plenty of time in 2025 to reign it all back in!
@blueberries59 ~ you are doing very well!!
@Chapter_3 ~ I totally understand. When you said you were REALLY good, that implies sacrifices and you would have expected to see a better result on the scale. BUT...continue to stay the course and let's see if tomorrow surprises you! While you did REALLY well, you also changed up things, and your body could still be reacting. Wishing you well!
@UTMom81 ~ You've got this. All that walking will help!
@deepwoodslady ~ I don't like that trend app very much.
Not very motivating or supportive. But then... that's why you have us!! One day at a time.

12/30 - 164.6 - It has been a busy busy week! I'm back at work this week except Wednesday. It's the kids' last week here before they head back to their Mom's for the second half of the school year. I don't think SD is going to make it down for summer so she's packing up her room now to take what she wants when they go back Saturday. I'm getting back to habits this week as well. Next round includes mine and BF's day off with the kids (New Years Day) and Saturday is a travel day. I'm not sure how much I'll be around but I'll hop on when I can to check in (:

Previous Day's Comments12/22 - DNP
12/23 - I've managed to survive the trip but with a lot of hiccups and stress - the car broke down just as I got home but at least we made it all the way home first! Not enough water Friday, Saturday, and yesterday. Trying to catch back up today as best I can. Travel foods Friday and Saturday - yesterday was a mess since there was a lot of unplanned goings on. That's typical when the kiddos are here. Today is a bit more planned at least and I was able to pre-log my food for lunch/dinner. Gym this morning with StepDaughter [SD]. She'll be going with me the next 7 days the gym is open so it'll be helpful to get my butt up and moving during the holiday festivities! Glad to be here, I missed you all!

“Note: ⚖️ 12/31/23 = 131.0. So I’m EXACTLY same weight.” What I wrote was indeed confusing….
⚖️this morn 12/30 was 131.0. On 12/31/23 my weight was also 131.0. I was comparing my weight this morn to last year’s closest recorded weight. Let’s see what tomorrow brings.
I’m glad you asked!!! ❤️

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 282: 155 (70.3 kg)
12/22-155.3 (70.4 kg)
12/23- 156 (70.8 kg) Not surprised after a night out with meatloaf, mashed potatoes and brown gravy and a side of chili for dinner. We did walk the boardwalk to see the Christmas lights after dinner since it was a mild night and only sprinkling a tiny bit. It's been unseasonably warm, about 43° (6° C) last night and the wind wasn't blowing either.
12/24- 155.9 (70.7 kg)It was supposed to be a 1/2 day at work followed by finishing prep for hosting Christmas Eve. This morning as almost every morning for over 2.5 years my husband took the dog for an off leash run in the field. Same loop, same routine as always. This time, for some reason he ran out of the field and was struck by a car. It was dark and raining. It wasn't their fault. The emergency vet said he wasn't going to make it. We had to put him down. They were going to hold off for the 40 minutes it would take to get there from work, but they couldn't. I got to say goodbye through speakerphone. We still hosted because family is important. I didn't track. I have a dog sized hole in my heart, but I'm sticking to the plan of getting rid of most of the leftover sweets after tomorrow. I cannot fill this hole with food.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 90% of the candy. I had the option to be out tomorrow too, but I didn't want to use the PTO and staying busy is good.
12/27- 157.1 (71.3) Ring feels tight today. I usually don't bother taking it off before bed, but I am tonight. I think I need to drink more water.
12/28- 156.3 (70.9 kg) Over calories, under maintenance. I call that a win. Didn't do well with prioritizing water. Need to remind myself to stay hydrated.
12/29- 155.1 (70.4 kg) No matter where I end this round, I'll still weigh less than I did at the start of the year. Stuffed tonight from a dinner of crockpot turkey breast, roasted potatoes and turkey gravy made with the drippings from the crockpot and white wine.
12/30 155 (70.3 kg) Craving junk food, but drinking water instead because I had my candy for the day at lunch. And I think I actually am thirsty because the craving is dissipating.

Finn is a German shorthaired pointer (GSP). Typical of his breed, he was just starting to lose some of his crazy as he approached 3, although he was lower energy than our first GSP, Sam I Am, who was his great great uncle. The relation was coincidental. They came from different breeders in different states 13 years apart, but Finn's great grandmother was Sam's sister from the same litter so I always thought it was special that they were connected even if they never knew each other.7 -
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 steps. Calories ☆
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 12,306 steps calories ☆
well the scales is moving ... in the wrong direction
12.27.24 196.4 16,468 steps calories ☆☆
12.28.24 196.4 my average steps are up 4k a day and my calories well under control and the scales remain up .6lb 🤨 expecting a major woosh any day now
12.29.24 194.o steps 10,584 calories ☆☆
At last the scales is catching up 2.4lb overnight! Goal of 1.8lb loss reached
12.30.24 193.6 steps 12486 calories☆
Another great day! 9 days 2.2lb loss over xmas too. Thanks to everyone in the group xx
12.31.24 193.2 Steps 7,183 calories ☆
Fantastic end to the 10 days 2.6lb loss
I'm very happy, its been a funny 10 days, i increased my steps by around 4000 a day and the scales went up not down. But finally in the last few days the weight fell off!
Today and tomorrow will be a challenge for me ... not food wise but alcohol! Lunch time drinks today then straight to an overnight party with friends, no weigh in tomorrow morning! Then tomorrow another lunch party. I'm starting the next round with todays weight ... but won't be surprised to see a 3lb gain on jan 2nd
Happy new year and new round everyone!!!4 -
🎷 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.

SW Rnd 282 141.6
12/22 141.6 (trend 141.5) – 8.74 miles walked. Today is the first day after the winter solstice, looking forward to lighter nights and spring to come.
12/23 141.6 (trend 141.5) – no structured walking, DS & family travelled down to spend the day with us – a delightful day! Happy Christmas Eve Eve everyone !!!
12/24 143.6 (trend 141.8) seems I was not engaged enough at the late dinner/supper xmas buffet with BIL & partner last night. Not hungry this morning so at 7.00am I hit the supermarket for the last of the fresh fruit & salad buying. I’m all done now, caravan is packed ready to tow up to a site on the edge of Sherwood Forest close to DD & about 18 miles from DS. So, this is my last weigh in until Sunday (we travel back Saturday). There is room to pack the scales, but nowhere to use them, carpets throughout except the shower cubicle which has moulded ridges in the base so not level enough for an accurate number – I’ll be “flying by wire”! Tomorrow all 10 of us gather together at DS’s for roast lunch, present exchange & a wonderful magical time with all our little DGC. Happy Christmas Eve everyone,
12/25 IT'S CHRISTMAS!! Hope you all have a good one 🥳🎄DNW - had a wonderful evening with little DGSs, they were so excited!!
12/26 DNW - managed an early 3 mile walk before heading off to DS, we all had an amazing day, I know I insulted to much, but ....
22/27. DNW - 12.34 miles walked, a damp & misty day, but so good to get out in nature, much better eating.
12/28 DNW - 6.45 miles of steps, some jogged as I kept up with youngest DGD as she, wobbly at times, rode her 2 wheeled bike around Clumber Park lake. So pleased with myself at 66 that I'm able to do this!
12/29 142.8 (trend 142.3) – Pleased with this number, it’s better than I thought it would be!! 8.89 miles walked yesterday. 2 days to end strong.
12/30 142.2 (trend 142.3) – 8 miles walked.
12/31 143.2 (trend 142.4) – 7.78 miles walked. Not a number I wanted to end on, but it is what it is. 1.6 pound gain this round, bring on the new round & the New Year to start over! Interestingly enough, weight this time last year was 143.8.
👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!! 👍👍.

Our DGD#2 is a Cyclone!
@quiltingjaine good for her! What was her major?
She got both her Bachelor’s and Master’s in Interior Design (not the same as interior decorating as Hallmark thinks.) She’s working at an architectural firm in Kansas City.
@quiltingjaine I know what you mean by drawing the distinction between decorator and designer. My degrees were in Architecture. Retired now from my own small company. In my experience good interior designers were an important part of the team. We hired them as consultants on larger projects. We couldn't keep one busy as a full time employee.5
