    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.
    12/31

    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.

    @desolate_angel GSP's are beautiful athletic dogs. I hunted pheasants over one several years ago. I think I understand what you mean by "his crazy." It was a supreme show of focus, stamina, skill and absolute joy doing what he was meant to do. The classic "point" was thrilling. I considered watching the dog more fun that the shooting. And no burrs stuck to his coat!

    In truth my eating hasn’t been terrible but it doesn’t take much to gain. This is a real gain too not just some bloat from one day off.
    Nothing I can’t handle!

    @Chapter_3 You are absolutely rocking your HSF goals! I just want you to know what an inspiration you are to me and I'm sure many others. May I ask what "💗Z2 60min" is in your goal list? I assume it's 60 minutes of something that's good for your heart, but I can't figure what Z2 is.

    SW RND 282: 153, EW: 152.4
    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 pneumonia (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!
    12/31 152.4 Yay! We did it! We made it through arguably the most difficult round of the year and are ready to take on a NEW YEAR! I am proud of the progress I’ve made this year—down 39 lbs since March 1 as well as having developed better activity, nutrition, and all around well-being habits along the way. I’ve enjoyed reconnecting and hanging out with this crowd in the mornings as I drink my coffee each day. I treasure the relationships we’ve built and the support and accountability provided here. Happy New Year, JGM10D friends!

    @Chapter_3 I’m confused, it’s 12/30 and you already have your 12/31 weight??

    “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!!! ❤️

    LOL SHEESH it’s almost 2025 and I apparently haven’t gotten used to 2024!

    As my DH would say, “it’s not nice to confuse old people!”

    @deepwoodslady ~ I don't like that trend app very much. :angry: Not very motivating or supportive. But then... that's why you have us!! One day at a time.

    @itladyee The only thing worse on the trendweight app than telling me it will take 50 years to reach my goal is when it doesn't give a date at all. That happens when it's just too far out for the computer to even comprehend! That's what happened today. Humph! Oh, well, fresh start right?

    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.

    We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

    Comments pertain to previous day

    SW Rnd 282 137.5 AW 137.2
    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.
    12/29 138.5 Head cold, headache, no TMI x 3
    12/30 137.5 Ate 1/2 gyro and fries
    12/31 136.5 New Year’s party tonight. Haven’t been to one in decades! It’s only 2 blocks away so shouldn’t encounter much traffic!

    Down 0.3 for the round - I’ll take it.

    12/31 - 163.1 - I knew some of this weight would drop off once I got back on track with my macros and daily habits. I didn't quite hit water goal (1 gallon/128oz) but I did get over 100oz so that's still an improvement. Not much else to report on so I hope everyone has a fantastic and safe New Year!!

    Previous Day's Comments
    12/22 - 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! <3

    12/30 - 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 (:

    @deepwoodslady ~ I don't like that trend app very much. :angry: Not very motivating or supportive. But then... that's why you have us!! One day at a time.

    @itladyee The only thing worse on the trendweight app than telling me it will take 50 years to reach my goal is when it doesn't give a date at all. That happens when it's just too far out for the computer to even comprehend! That's what happened today. Humph! Oh, well, fresh start right?

    @deepwoodslady
    50 years is not even feasible. I think you've done extremely well, we all know it's not linear, and your persistence speaks volumes. Keep on keeping on!!!

    ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 190.6

    12/22-193.0-(Trend Weight: 192.2)-

    12/29-193.8-(Trend Weight: 192.7)-

    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!

    12/31-192.6-(Trend Weight: 192.9)- After a one day buffer following our weekend Christmas dinner and party, I landed at a 2.2 lbs gained this round. Disappointing but it was certainly running much higher over the past few days. So this is where I start 2025, like it or not. On my first mini 5 lbs goal I’m at T-Minus 0.8 lbs with 4.2 lbs left to go. I’m feeling pretty committed right now but it’s always easier to be when you are not hungry. I’m pawning off more of my baked goodies and candies today. My construction workers will take some home! It’s necessary! Happy New Year everyone. Thanks for another great round full of great pics, ideas, advice and kindness. See you all in 2025!


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

    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.
    12/31 154.9 (70.3 kg) One tenth of a pound down this round and squeaked in just under 155. Next micro goal is to reach 154.2 (69.9 kg) just so I can have a little victory in metric too. We went down to the lake tonight for the 9 PM fireworks show and drank hot cocoa by the water. Happy New Year's Eve!

    Thank you so much for your kind words and support! It means a lot. Losing my friend so suddenly has been incredibly difficult, but I’m trying to take things one day at a time. Your thoughts and prayers are deeply appreciated, and they’re a comfort during this tough time.

    Wishing you and all the JGMTD crew a wonderful, safe and happy New Year.
