I did really well for 355 days, but the last 10 days of 2024 were a food free-for-all! I’m determined to get back to my “summer weight” of between 123-125 lbs. It’s not just about losing, it’s about changing the habits of a lifetime that keep me stuck in self-defeating cycles.
My mantra for 2025: self-awareness and self-kindness

Family medical emergency in the midst of our family party yesterday with DS (83 YO and very overweight); thankfully she's OK but I'm very aware that my oldest siblings are getting weaker. Youngest brother and I, at 75 and 67, are the "kids". We've had this party every year (on Zoom during Covid) since my parents both passed in 1982. I'm so blessed that not only are we all still together (and like each other), our children and grandchildren cherish each other and the tradition as much as we always did. It's a tribute to my oldest siblings who kept it all going for years, and now my DD#1 has taken it on. Much laughter even in the midst of crises.
I managed to avoid most of the amazing food, but couldn't resist DD#2's killer mac and cheese. Life's short and some indulgences are just worth it.

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.

📣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.

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
👇🏻January Level Up (Down)
***************************
I pledge to prioritize each of these #HSF choices EVERY DAY of January:
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 & mobility 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 115-125g 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… !

1/1/2025! 💤 by 10PM, but up at 3AM. Slept poorly. Protein 98g. Body sore from two days of pushing. Cortisol high. No TMI for DAYS. Holding pattern?Systems will hopefully kick into gear ASAP. Will take off 🏋️♀️today. Sound negative? I’m not. I’m ready for a great day -just waiting for 5AM Carolyn to rise & shine.
Annual trip to Waffle House this morn with DS, DDIL & DGS. I love this tradition. I get bacon & eggs every year and will do so again this morning. I plan on doing more reflection later this afternoon. A nap?
Thought about changing my 10day goal to 129.x but I feel like my body isn’t “calibrated” yet from these last two+ overly emotional weeks. I’m sticking to 128.x and focusing on process.
Happy New Year to this wonderful group of brave warriors! 2025 is our year of growth, strength, peace & health!
1/2 130.8 All the emotions since Thanksgiving have caught up with me. I was a zombie yesterday. Hit a wall. Little sleep = No motivation. It is what it is and I know I’ll recover soon. Ate @ maintenance and hit macros. Spent and sluggish. No movement. Since I’m naturally an introvert, non-stop social activity for a month+ took a toll. Nice visit at Waffle House but came home tired and couldn’t nap. Couch potato to bring on the new year! Will be better today. 💤7 hrs.
Today:🤸🏼🎾⏱️🏋️♀️🚶♀️💗
PS Toward the end of January we will have an unsettling family situation (tough-love), and I’m already starting to become overwhelmed. Maintaining a healthy mindset is my challenge this month… I made commitments to myself for January based upon ignoring this situation, and now I just hope to get through it. Not sharing this for hugs or concern… Simply sharing because it may impact my ability to follow through. Emotional life-changing decisions can impact our ability to take care of ourselves… Perhaps not… Maybe this past year has equipped me for this. I just have to get over this hill, one step at a time. Putting crap in my mouth or implementing couch potato status doesn’t solve anything.
I am thankful that I have adopted healthy habits & this group to keep me present & thankful. Time to summon 5AM Carolyn. More often than not, I forget God is in 💯control.
“I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me”
1/3 131.8 Out to dinner last night with siblings… Systems still out of whack. Ordered smart, hit macros but ate more & later than usual. Horrible sleep! Maybe 4 hrs? Hubby OOT till Sunday. (Much easier in the kitchen!) Played 🎾 for the first time yesterday in 3 wks. (& it showed!) Sore! Skipped 🏋️♀️⏱️. Today, playing 🎾again and will be with DGS this afternoon. 🏋️♀️⏱️🥩 💦💦💦! I shall ENGAGE every ounce of my being to make this a 🏆day. Onward!
1/4 131.8 I was all over the place yesterday. Today I will remain mindful and present. [ENGAGED]. No commitments to myself because I’m headed to purchase a new phone & watch and it will probably take all day. Yearning to stay positive.
1/5 5 🏆Hit all three nutrition marks. Took another day off from movement except managed 🚶♀️7k & 🏋️♀️15 min. Not enough to earn the “emoji” but were NSVs nonetheless. Sleeping better! New phone and watch will arrive Tuesday. 💪🏻😎
DEEP AGAIN: I managed a great deal of positive prayer & reflection yesterday… January tends to be a mental 🎢 . I start off with high hopes, slip into melancholy then finish with gratitude. (Both my parents died this time of year 13mos apart…) It’s a familiar pattern. But yesterday I was able to catch my thought patterns and turn them around. I credit 🙏 & this health journey of forming new habits … I recognize that I have the luxury of being able to stop my life and gather my thoughts. Having the choice of being proactive versus reactive. The majority don’t have that luxury. Life is blasting moment to moment with responsibilities and staying afloat.
I was also kind to myself yesterday. That’s a REAL win! I looked over my journals, and I need to celebrate that January is usually a strong nutrition and activity month for me… but It’s always a mental WAR. I’m not exaggerating here. WAR. I tend not to self-comfort with food or another vice… I just tend to FREEZE. I become motionless. I am making slow progress, and with that I am very pleased. Today I want to 🏋️♀️. Supposed to be a rain out, so I will be creative indoors.
I have even thought about my “ceiling “…. Is this mental WAR all about reaching a “false ceiling” and not pushing through?!?!!!
Hmmmmm….
Onward!
I finally read through R282 & R283. I want to thank everyone for your encouragement to me and JGMTD. Grief, stalls, losses, gains, many daily victories & NSVs. We have a wonderfully supportive group & wisdom abounds. A plethora of “kernels” to keep close! I will stay current. I’ve got plenty of motivation after reading through the round!
😎💪🏻❤️

Maybe I just missed him? 😎 Record low temperatures🥶🥶 the next three days. I will follow Charissa’s (@itlaydee) lead! Another 7 min too.
Beginning to turn the corner toward a state of optimism. The cold front could put a damper so I will be flexible/adjust.

FYI everyone: the NY Times is doing a "Well" challenge on ultra processed foods, which are a big part of our dietary problems. First day is a grocery shopping quiz to see whether we can find the UPFs:

Dates = Weight ; Comments regarding prior day.
1/1 231~ 🚶🏽💧Yesterday was still 2024
Pasta, chips & dip, wine and champagne. It's all here No worries though - today is 1/1/25 and I'm ready!
1/2 231 ~ 🍎💧 No movement. I stayed under calorie goal, stopped eating at 7:30 and fasted today for 16.5 hours. 50 ounces of water down. I'm good.
1/3 227.4 ~🚶🏾♀️🍎💧⬇️ Now that's what I'm talking about! That's what eating and drinking like a normal person will do for you. I didn't hit my protein and was over just a bit on carbs but within calorie range.
1/4 225.6 ~🚶🏽🍎💧⬇️ I know this won't last, at least not at this rate...but it's fun right now. Seriously though....I gained 7 of these pounds in December, so I "expect" them to disappear almost as quickly as they came.Water weight. The proof is the number of times I got up to go pee the last 2 nights
1/5 226.0 ~ 🚶🏽🍎✅💧~ ok with this number especially with the results of the lat couple of days. Also was at the top end of the calorie range so fair is fair! Someone asked about the wind when I was walking outside....they hit the nail on the head! I forgot about the "hawk" and it was not windy yesterday. It was actually a bright, sunshiny, cold day! Let's see what today brings.
1/6 224.5 ~ 🍎✅💧⬇️One more pound to get back to my "real" starting weight Pondering the gym today. I had planned to go but hearing it's icy... may have to do plan b...but I will give it a try.

@chapter_3 ~ {{{{{hugs}}}} Anniversaries of the deaths of our loved ones, especially parents are tough. Good for you for having the thoughts but not staying there. Proactive is good!! Push through! I am working hard for daily check ins.... some may be brief. One of my other groups has established a "Blog" since MFP took away what we had. I was averaging a post once every 6 months....not effective at all. So in 2025, I'm trying to chime in at least every other day with real thoughts and feelings and reflection. Here's hoping it makes a difference!
@capewrathultra ~ Prayers sent for your family member.
@susiemcmac ~ Definitely a win for you! You apparently made very good choices to stay even. Great job! And ...how 'bout those Lions
@Smoda61 ~ I hope there wasn't much in the fridge. I hate when that happens!!
@BigappleBritt88 ~ you got this!!
@MizDailey ~ are you on vacation or do you live in the California area?
@deepwoodslady ~ anxiously awaiting today's number.... hoping it goes it the right direction
@quiltingjaine ~ it's been my plan to eat dinner earlier. I was doing well until the holidays kicked in. Time to get back to it. I have been working to stop eating/snacking into the evening hours.
@pettycoatjunction ~ nice progress so far this round. Keep it up
@slimmersixties ~ warm all year around, nice!! I didn't make it out yesterday.
@reshii_devi ~ thanks for the reminder on measuring. I usually run out of time so it get's put off but this time I've decided to measure one body part as it will tell the story and that's my waist.
@skyleen75 ~ being aware of what's going on and what you're doing is half the battle.
@judefit1 ~ sorry you experienced a family emergency during your party, but glad your DS is ok. I love that your siblings are sharing time together and the children and grandchildren get along so well. What a blessing!!
@reshii_devi @chapter_3 ~ 7 ,minutes is so perfect. You can't say no and before you know it, it's done!!
Ok...time to check the roads to see if my workout occurs at the gym or in the basement. Have a GREAT day!!

Meal prep for work went very well. Now, just have to make sure I eat and drink everything at work. I’m taking an approach where I eat the same thing for a week to make it easier.
Challenges: Avoiding old patterns of eating and drinking at work and home (FF and soda intake) avoiding the incessant potlucks, lunches, snacks brought in, ignoring cues from my body to eat, drink, or go to the restroom, stress management. Must also be patient with the process and have some freaking fun with all of this on more days than not.
BP: I’m taking a break from measuring. I’m stressing about it too much. I think I’ll take it once at the start of ten days and once at the end as long as I’m feeling ok.
Have a great day today ALL!8 -

I realized I needed to get ahold of my habits. I've also got a new job where I'm not just at a desk anymore (a bit tough for me currently).
My main goals:
♡Drinking at least 1 gallon (128 fl oz).
♡Staying below my caloric limit (1500-1700)
♡Trying Weight Training or Cardio (30min)
♡Getting more sleep each night (7+ hours)
HW: 270 lbs. (1/1/2025)
SW: 270 lbs. (1/1/2025)
GW: 160 lbs. (Eventually)
1/1 - 270 lbs. Stayed within my calories. Drank a whole gallon!
1/2 - 268 lbs. Stayed within my calories. Drank 1.5gal of water. Still sick.
1/3 - 267 lbs. Sticking with the calories and the water!
1/4 - 266.5 lbs. Sticking with the caloric limit and the water intake. Definitely lost some water weight because I am sick. I think I'm nearing the tail-end.
1/5 - 266 lbs. Same, definitely didn't stick to calories today, but I don't eat the same quantities as before.
1/6 - 265 lbs. Still nice!

January Goals ::
1. No drinking in January
2. Workout 3x a week
3. IF 16:8 min for 28 days this month
4. Eat homemade meals only, except one cheat meal a month.
5. Calorie goal at 1200 this month for fat reduction.
** I have seen a problem that when I start eating out more, my tastebuds change. I crave more salty, more fatty food, sweets and more often to the point that I am eating out way more, snacking way more and actively ruining my health. If I make and eat fanciest/heaviest of dishes at home, they are altered in fat and salt that it still is delicious but never triggers that same feed crazy pattern. This January I need to manage my stress better and get back to my normal again.
1/1 - 59.8 kg / 131.8 lbs. IF fasted 18 hrs, might not be perfect but kept eating window tight which is what matters the most. Ate mostly in calorie limits. Made a fancy dish usually heavy in calories but stuck to making it at home and served limited portion to myself along with other good nutrition foods to ensure it fits in calorie goals.
1/2 - 59.2 kg / 130.5 lbs. IF fasted 18 hrs, felt hungrier than usual and ate dinnner very early and felt good. I have faltered on IF a bit the last few days since I drink tea with milk in the morning and assume as long as IF still helps me limit calorie intake, things are going okay. Decided to truly follow IF from tomorrow. So far loving IF, since I get to eat whatever while tracking calories in a smaller span of time so I have been enjoying food in good portion as well as desserts last 2 days as well.
1/3 - 58.6kg / 129.1 lbs. IF fasted 20:4, stuck to calorie goals, eating preplanned healthy meals and no drinking. Did strength training & cardio @ gym
1/4- 58.6 kg / 128.1 lbs. IF fasted 20 hrs +, but eating window stretched too long because family was ordering out and I was busy batch cooking for week. Not ideal because I snacked too much in between being hungry and finally ate dinner at 10:30 PM. I need to prioritize myself and my eating window. Family ate out and I stuck to balanced homemade meal. On such days, plan an easy readymade meal so that I am not breaking my own rules. Ate more than calorie limits.
1/5 - 59.1 kg/130.2 lbs. IF fasted 18 hrs, ate in calorie limits, worked out and no drinking this weekend. Proud of myself.
1/6 - 59.1kg/130.2lbs

@Slimmersixties yes, those are my fasting hours. I've been doing IF 5 days 18+, one 24+ hour day and one day off since the end of November. I usually aim for two meals 3-5 hours apart, and mix it up with OMAD once or twice per week as well. Is that schedule how you've lost so much weight? Do tell
No magic solution to 85lb loss
Only answer is a calorie deficit!
Easiest way for me to control calories is to eat once a day at 2pm. If I'm still hungry i have a very small plate of something extra at 6pm and that's it. I drink coffee /water all day. The fact its IF is incidental!
I could barely walk when i started (knee injuries) so i swam ... building up to a mile 3 or 4 times a week. Then started walking and built up my steps slowly. My knee injuries have gone alongside the weight!
The bad news is this eating/exercise regime is for life (with a few more calories)! I've always regained but not this time ... i have a danger weight and refuse to go above it! I got close after 6 weeks in the states ... 16lb up ... but determined to get back down (10lb to go)
And then after 2 years gaining/losing im dropping my goal weight by 7lb. So 17lb to goal!
FACTS. No magic solution other than calorie deficits and consistency. After losing 80lbs in 2018 (and maintaining for a few years), I've been regaining and losing the same 20-30 pounds since 2022. This is the year that all ends.6 -

Emotional eating has always been a challenge for me, and with all the recent conversations about loss and grief, sugar cravings have been tough to resist. I’ve caved a few days ~ lemon Oreos, a cherry turnover, and a couple of Mounds bars. I know it’s slowed my progress, but saying “no” has been harder than usual. And while those indulgences have helped me stay supportive for others, they’ve also added a quiet layer of stress I’m ready to tackle. Grateful I haven’t completely derailed and determined to find healthier alternatives moving forward.
On a brighter note, I weighed, measured, and took progress photos this morning. Seeing small losses is always encouraging. Ready to keep pressing forward!

(2024 SUCCESSES AND CHALLENGES)
December Summary: I lost 6 pounds, dropped 2.1% body fat, and reduced 14 inches overall. My body water increased by 1.4%, muscle mass by 2%, and bone density by 0.8%. While I hit most of my goals this month, I found myself re-losing the same weight I’ve gained back multiple times. It’s disappointing to end the year heavier than I started, but I’ve learned a lot about what not to do and planning to approach things more strategically in 2025.

AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER and most of NOVEMBER spent increasingly depressed and often sugar drunk. Regained almost 30 pounds and a ridiculous amount of fat without even noticing! This level of sabotage is extreme, even for me. My biggest gift to myself will be healing the holes inside.
July Goals: Starting over 7/12 ~ lost six weeks of progress and regained 7 pounds adjusting to new third shift work schedule. They call it graveyard for a reason!!! My exercise, water and step count have all also dropped considerably. Goals this month are simply to lose as much as possible building momentum and getting back in the groove.
June Goals: Having gotten as low as 193 in both April and May, I'd like to drop below that in June. (FAIL)

MAY Goals: Lose 6-8bs, 2-3 inches and 1-2% body fat ❎❎❎
May 22: I had packed some shorts to change into after swim without trying them on. They were so tight last summer, I expected the fit to be better ~ but when I put them on ... wow. I was in front of the locker room mirrors and was like omg, that's you. How long has it been since you looked/felt like that? I was spinning around looking at myself for a good 2-3 minutes, y'all, lol ~ my New #1NSV
May 4: 10 of the 20 inches lost was off my belly! No pics, no proof, lol ~ I love/hate taking photos because they've become one of my best tools. You can't lie and you can't hide. Putting myself on blast 1) creates incentive to increase effort and 2) highlights new areas to focus on. Still a long way from my ultimate goals, but its nice to see muscle memory is real! At a size 15, I haven't been this small in more than 10 years.
APRIL 1st SW: 198.2 | EW: 197.8
Goals: Lose 6-8bs, 2-3 inches and 1-2% body fat ❎❎❎
Lost less than a pound, 1.25 inches combined on arms and legs | regained 0.2% body fat and 1/2 inch back on my belly. Starting dietary 200-400 calorie deficit and Intermittent Fasting 18-24 hrs. Breaking fast differently, including more protein, and continuing to look for new ways to increase step count and add more strength in May.
Reaching onederland (March 13th) meant the end of 10+ years and up to 80 pounds!! gained and relost too many times to count. Yo-yoing is the main reason for so much body fat!!! Determined not to continue to self-sabotage ... I need a new target!! If I should lose an additional 8% body fat to reach the "standard" for my age, height and sex ~ and up to 15% more to reach excellent ~ that's @ least another 8-15 months of work before I can begin to relax and think maintenance.
January 1st - April 1st, I've lost 17 pounds and a total of 20.8 inches from 11 areas. 🥳 Thrilled to see my hard work reversing prediabetes and years of physical damage. Getting leaner and stronger and chair dancing proud of myself about it!! 57 and hormonal, it's taken longer than expected and a much rougher road than my youth.5 -

BackstoryIn 2022 I was around 157lbs with 24% bf. Was definitely in the “best shape” of my adult life then. Since then I started a new career working from home as a developer. Have moved away from my family for fiancés job. We’ve moved several times to various states in a short time span. So far we’ve moved 3 times, all about 9 months apart. Welcomed two puppies into the mix. Lots of changes. Lots of time spent at home. Lots of time spent away from family. Fell out of touch with friends. All of the adjustments and figuring out how to manage/handle more daily responsibilities and navigate through this phase of life has manifested into me gaining 20+lbs and losing a lot of willpower, motivation, drive, positivity, etc that I once thrived on. Found this challenge and it has been helping me get it back. Nothing is permanent! Looking forward to working through this.
Overall Goals and ChallengesGoals
1. Focusing on behavior and mindset. Calories have been going way over for so long I need to reel the behavior back in a healthy way.
2. Don’t give up on the day when it’s challenging. Choose to make good decisions in those moments instead of giving in.
Challenges
1. Working from home makes it easy to stress eat or just eat out of boredom/habit.
2. Sleeping less (have two puppies, a 7mo and a 11mo old) makes it hard to wake up early enough to get a good workout in or at least to feel good awaking up. Feel defeated in the motivation and drive department compared to how I was previously.
Daily, Small, Attainable Goals1. Finish 1st 27oz water before 2pm
2. Finish 2nd 27oz water before bed
3. Alternate standing and sitting at desk every other hour during working hours (or stand at least half of the day).
4. Hit maintenance calories at a minimum.
5. -200 cal deficit on gym days
6. If I go over cals, try to cap it at +200

Gym: took too long to get out of bed so I only got 35m of shoulders and arms in. Basically had to skip my cardio block at the end.
Wins: Still went to the gym even though I wasted time getting out of bed.
Challenges: Going for 4th cal deficit today in a row today. With a skipped cardio block that may be a tad challenging depending on how hungry I feel. Always easier if I stay on top of my water goal. Have a good Monday everyone!9 -

1/2 145.8 Over in calories yesterday and did not exercise or practice my swing. ☹ Rested/slept, sky gray/gloomy, snowing off and on, and COLD! Br-r-r. It is difficult to be enthused when it is gloomy and cold. Made a list of chores for today to help keep on track. Huge issues with insurance for my mom in 2025. I will be working on that for quite some time. ☹

1/4 145.2 Snowing, On track
1/5 144.6 I think I got my mother’s Medicare Advantage plan correct. I enrolled her in a new one in October with a start date of Jan 1. Her old one received a notice from Medicare that she was changing insurances and they cancelled her effective December 1; leaving her without insurance for a month. I asked them to continue her insurance to Jan 1 and instead, they reenrolled her. When they did that, Medicare sent the new insurance a notice that she was changing plans and they never started her. I re-enrolled her with number two on Jan 1 and was told that she would not be active until Feb 1. I contacted number one and they told me that they only renewed her until Dec 31. By now I am freaking out thinking that she would not have any insurance for TWO months. After much discussion and going up the ladder, number one will now continue her until Feb 1. I hope that does not trigger another letter from Medicare to number two. This could have turned into a catastrophe if Mom became ill or injured.

Admittedly I did not log my foods yesterday and was likely over on carbs and calories but I didn’t think the day went too bad! Did something catch up with me? I dunno, but you can be sure I will be logging everything and staying on point today! I don’t feel like chasing my tail the entire rest of the round.
01/06-193.0-(Trend Weight: 192.9)- No TMI x 3 isn’t helping but I’m still happy to see a 0.8 lb drop. Yesterday could have been better. It was so busy I ended up with a lot of processed foods (TV dinner etc) and junk snacks instead of healthy ones for the most part. I need to do better. I’m having a meeting with my General Contractor today. I’m nervous and I’m sure he won’t be happy. Please keep me in your thoughts this morning.

1/06 - 165.3 - Travel day Saturday in which we ate out every meal. The kids made it back home though it took nearly 2 1/2 hours longer due to the blizzard and ice storm starting. Unfortunately they didn't quite make it back before it got bad enough to shut roads down and make it hazardous. They're safe, though, and bundled up at home since school (and a bunch of roads) are closed. Yesterday I got up early to get groceries for the week and then meal prepped lunches and dinners for BF and I. We ran some extra errands and came home to finish out meal prep (I had lasagna soup on the crock pot so had to add the lasagna noodles to cook and then let it cool to separate into our respective meal prep dishes while BF made his breakfast burritos for the week) and cook dinner. My water Saturday and Sunday was severely lacking so I'm holding on to water weight. I also had TOM visit a week earlier than anticipated but that means my body is adjusting and balancing hormones out itself and things are going well there. All in all, I expect to see this weight drop off a bit in the coming days so long as I stay on track. Meals pre-logged for today and have room for a carb/fat snack or two in between meals. This week nearly every night will dip below freezing and there's expected precipitation on Wednesday and Thursday night which may leave black ice and limit my ability to get to the gym safely so I'm reaching out to Coach to see if she can help me pre-plan some at home workouts with my limited gear (10lb kettlebell and some resistance bands) to have a plan in place if it does get too hazardous and/or the gym closes for weather.

Previous Day's Comments1/01 - DNP
1/02 - Too much sodium, not enough water. Also indulged on my last slice of cheesecake for dessert. We had a full table with family as we enjoyed dinner together to ring in the New Year and I'm not mad at all at this uptick. I was feeling bloated this morning so I know it'll drop off just as soon as I get enough water and get back on track with my macros. No gym yesterday since it was closed but went today for a good Upper workout with SD. Tomorrow is likely our last workout together for the foreseeable future. I really hate that she's more likely than not going to be coming down in summer. The house is emptier and emptier every year. Pre-logged dinner so lunch will be easier to figure out with macros. I have quite a bit leftover to work with so today should be fairly easy to make it work. Tomorrow, as well, should be good for macros. Travel all day Saturday so the goal is to be on track and behaving well today, tomorrow, and Sunday to help offset yesterday and Saturday hah! Balance (:
1/03 - I'll take this! Dinner was very carb-heavy with chicken "alfredo" (the Italian version with butter and parmisiano reggiano and pasta water to thin it out, no heavy cream or milk). Due to the cheese and pure butter, it has a decent amount of protein in the sauce and then the chicken so it was balanced but still causes a bit of bloat for me - luckily it's a lower-lactose meal so no discomfort (: Last gym day for SD and I together. Then the power went out for nearly 3 hours this morning while I was trying to work. I was able to get some things done offline at least so not a total loss of a work day. We have to wake up at 4am tomorrow to be on the road at 5am to take the kids back so it'll be an early night and busy day of travel. We'll be home late tomorrow night to sleep in our own beds. I've planned out meals for BF and I next week so I just need to double check my grocery list for Sunday since I'll need to do an early grocery run to make it back to meal prep 2 dinners (4 servings each so 4 alternating days for us and Friday is typically date night or an improvised fresh cooked meal, not a prep), 2 lunch options for him to alternate for work, lunch options for me, and BF will make his breakfast burritos for the week. Whew. I haven't figured out breakfast options for me but I can improvise. He'll probably be driving the majority of this trip so I'll have time to pre-log meals to determine breakfast options for myself that fit macros.

Goals for the next 10 days 🍎💦👣
1. Stay engaged! That means checking in here daily, so catching up doesn’t become so overwhelming (plus you all inspire me). That also means logging every single day…
2. Weigh less at the end of this round. Hope to see a 136, totally doable by upping the water and limiting the wine. For me it is going to be a damp January.
3. More sleep would be amazing! That will be the most difficult of goals to reach 😞
RND 283 : SW - 138.4
1/1 - 138.4
1/2 - 138.2. 🍎logged it all. guzzled the 💦. 13,500 👣. And no 🍷. Off to the kind of start that makes a difference!

1/4. 137.2. 7 minute workout (thank you @reshii_devi for posting the 7 day challenge) (page 6). 7 days will take me to the end of this round! 🍎logged it, 💦 drank it and walked 13,800 steps. And no 🍷.
1/5. 135.6. 🍎logged, 💦drank, 👣15,300 steps and did day two of the 7 day challenge. No 🍷.
1/6. 135.2
Plan to head to the gym today before I have a bone scan done later this afternoon. It will be my first bone scan, so hopefully they don’t find anything out of the ordinary for someone my age. I’ve never knowingly had broken bones or anything, just the normal loss of an inch or 2 of someone in their mid 60’s (unfortunately for me, I’m already short enough). For the first half of this round I give myself a B+!!!9 -
@lita_loses_it_all Thanks! I will take the NSVs and the baby steps. Congrats on your streak as well! We will get it, if we keep moving forward.

Me too. I'm getting up to speed with my shiny new Pixel Watch 3._JeffreyD_ wrote: »Smart watch… I am a google/android person. I made that decision decades ago and I’m sticking with it, much to the chagrin of just about everyone I know. I have a Pixel phone, so I got the Pixel watch. It pairs with fitbit. I am on the tip of the iceberg when it comes to knowing how to use it, but looking forward to getting my NERD on to figure it out. It looks cool.
Reports are that it's sleep tracking is as accurate as any of the others out there. None are perfect.

@desolate-angel Your comment about your niece reminded me of out #2DGD. When she was about 7 we were visiting and wanted to take her to lunch for her birthday. She picked a Mexican restaurant and as we were getting out of the car my DH asked what she was going to order. “Chicken nuggets” got us all back in the car and we went somewhere else for chicken nuggets! That was about 20 years ago. Thank you for the trip down Memory Lane!😊
@slimmersixties & @reshii-devi I’ve been doing IF for about 6 years and love OMAD. I did very well until DH had both shoulders replaced (stress due to bad reaction to anesthesia on the first one) and him immediately running for the Board of our HOA and getting elected. That HOA position made OMD at 3:30-4 impossible because they schedule meetings at 2 and he doesn’t get home until 5:30 or 6!

Comments pertain to previous day
I need to
SW Rnd 283 136.5
Starting 2# higher than a year ago.
1/1 139.5 Gained 3# from NYE dinner. I’m okay with it because I am starting a fast. I know that increase is largely a reaction to foods I don’t normally consume.
1/2 138.5 Fast lasted 43 hours. During that time I had coffee (with 2T cream), additional coffee black, water and a mug of bouillon which was super salty! I am somewhat disappointed by what I assume is water retention due to the salt. I broke it with a 4 oz beef patty and started another fast after 30 minutes. Hoping to last until our dinner date at 5:30 Saturday! 51 hours.
1/3 136.5 All systems functioning 😁 Only made it 27 hours. Small turkey in lettuce wrap.
1/4 135.5 Dinner tonight with friends at Great Greek. I will have my regular side salad and chicken skewer.
1/5 136.0 I’m attributing this to eating dinner last night around 6:30 pm rather than my preferred 3:30-4pm.
1/6 134.5 Got up late (9am) We defrosted the little freezer this morning. Reloaded it and went to In-n-Out for lunch before he went to Tripoley. Now I can catch up on here and with a couple of phone7 -
Round 283My heaviest weight a couple years ago was 239. I got down to 207 (+/-) a few times but I never stuck with it. I always had a side goal like a Vacation or a wedding that motivated me. Once on Vacation or after the wedding, it was back to eating whatever and however much I wanted. Binge eating was common place. Each time I lost weight and fell off the wagon, the binge eating just got worse. I started at 230# in November and decided that I needed to approach this differently. I turned my attention to my eating. Tackling my bad habits and learning to be more mindful of how I eat. I still have days that I stuff myself at meals or that I binge eat but it’s not nearly as often. Even with the small adjustments I started seeing a pound here and a pound there dropping from the scale. I have also been following a few experts and will be making sure I don't cut out certain foods as food limiting can create more problems with someone with an eating disorder such as binge eating and why my binging got worse after each of my weight losses. I have learned that I only need to be in a calorie deficit that is calculated for my goal weight and not speed of weight loss. I also don't need to restrict certain foods. I have the tools to succeed, I just need to use them. Slowly I will be adding workouts. My focus has changed from the priority of weight loss and 2nd for getting stronger to the priority of Forming healthy habits and 2nd for weight loss & strengthening. I cannot do the latter without the former.
(My 2nd round)
January 1- January 10
Age: 3 months shy of 56
My heaviest weight ever recorded: 239
Last challenge end weight: 222.2
Goal Weight: 165
My focus: Positivity, nutrition, fitness
Bring it on!!!
1/1 - 221.4 Happy New Year everyone! Quote of the Day: "Weight loss doesn't begin in the gym with a dumb bell; it starts in your head with a decision." -Toni Sorenson My decision today? Positivity and implementation. A day of measuring, weighing the dreaded photo as today marks day 1 of implementing the tracking of my calories, fitness and progress. One thing I have learned is that you cannot accurately track your progress by the scale alone. Just because you haven’t lost any weight in a month doesn’t mean your body isn’t changing. This is especially true if you are incorporating exercise and/or weight lifting. I would gladly trade 5 pounds of fat for 10 pounds of muscle mass. This isn’t a New Year’s Resolution. This is a continuation of taking control of my health.
1/2- 221.8 Stayed within my calorie range and did 20 minutes on the elliptical. Whew, the first 10 minutes were brutal as I set the program to fluctuate through levels of resistance. Granted I only used 6,8 and 10 but it was still brutal. When I hit 12 minutes I challenged myself to go to 15. When I hit 15 I was part way through the 2nd round and decided to challenge my self and finish it. I actually felt invigorated afterwards. I guess I just have to push through that first 10 minutes.
1/3- 221.8 I was surprised I didn’t wake up sore. No work out tonight though. Got home late and ate at 7pm. Pretty sure the scale will go up tomorrow. Sauerkraut and boneless pork ribs made in the instant pot for supper. LOTS of sodium!! But it’s okay, the meal was worth it.
1/4- 221.2 Kinda surprised the scale didn’t go up. Still prepared for it. No workout today. Helping my daughter and husband move into their new home tomorrow so definitely don’t want to be sore. I will get plenty of exercise tomorrow
Happy Weekend Everyone!!! I hope you all find a reason to smile today. Quote of the day: “A journey of 1000 miles begins, continues and ends with a single step” – Andrea Muñoz
1/5- 223.0 And there it is, the sodium bump. Finished off my sauerkraut yesterday
1/6- 222.4 Trending down. Still haven't worked out. But I did pack and carry boxes down a flight of steps and go back up multiple times to help my daughter move. Unloading was a bit easier. Carried the same boxes but no stairs to go up and down. 6 -

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 283: 154.9 (70.3 kg)
1/1- 154 (69.9 kg) Starting the New Year off with a bang! It's probably this low because a decent portion of yesterday's calories were liquid, but it's nice to see a few weigh-ins below 155 sprinkling in.
1/2- 154.1 (69.9 kg) Can't think of a reflection tonight. Motivated to keep going.
1/3- 153.6 (69.7 kg) Exactly 27 pounds down from when I started tracking in January last year. I expect an upswing over the next days because tonight was a team appreciation work dinner at a steakhouse and I quite thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I am quite full. More than that though, it was a good relaxing evening with my coworkers. I feel quietly contented.
1/4-154.6 (70.1 kg) Today was spent with my 9 year old niece. We did a paint n sip, then DH and I took her to the arcade and out to dinner. I think she probably would have just as happy or happier with Taco Bell, but I wanted her to have a memorable day. I went over on calories again, but should still be under maintenance.
1/5- 154.8 (70.2 kg) I'm back on track today and keeping my water intake in mind.
1/6- 155.1 (70.4 kg) Wrong way! I know it'll come back down if I keep on with it.

I have also been following a few experts and will be making sure I don't cut out certain foods as food limiting can create more problems with someone with an eating disorder such as binge eating and why my binging got worse after each of my weight losses. I have learned that I only need to be in a calorie deficit that is calculated for my goal weight and not speed of weight loss. I also don't need to restrict certain foods. I have the tools to succeed, I just need to use them. Slowly I will be adding workouts. My focus has changed from the priority of weight loss and 2nd for getting stronger to the priority of Forming healthy habits and 2nd for weight loss & strengthening. I cannot do the latter without the former.
(My 2nd round)
January 1- January 10
Age: 3 months shy of 56
My heaviest weight ever recorded: 239
Last challenge end weight: 222.2
Goal Weight: 165
My focus: Positivity, nutrition, fitness
Bring it on!!!
1/1 - 221.4 Happy New Year everyone! Quote of the Day: "Weight loss doesn't begin in the gym with a dumb bell; it starts in your head with a decision." -Toni Sorenson My decision today? Positivity and implementation. A day of measuring, weighing the dreaded photo as today marks day 1 of implementing the tracking of my calories, fitness and progress. One thing I have learned is that you cannot accurately track your progress by the scale alone. Just because you haven’t lost any weight in a month doesn’t mean your body isn’t changing. This is especially true if you are incorporating exercise and/or weight lifting. I would gladly trade 5 pounds of fat for 10 pounds of muscle mass. This isn’t a New Year’s Resolution. This is a continuation of taking control of my health.
1/2- 221.8 Stayed within my calorie range and did 20 minutes on the elliptical. Whew, the first 10 minutes were brutal as I set the program to fluctuate through levels of resistance. Granted I only used 6,8 and 10 but it was still brutal. When I hit 12 minutes I challenged myself to go to 15. When I hit 15 I was part way through the 2nd round and decided to challenge my self and finish it. I actually felt invigorated afterwards. I guess I just have to push through that first 10 minutes.
1/3- 221.8 I was surprised I didn’t wake up sore. No work out tonight though. Got home late and ate at 7pm. Pretty sure the scale will go up tomorrow. Sauerkraut and boneless pork ribs made in the instant pot for supper. LOTS of sodium!! But it’s okay, the meal was worth it.
1/4- 221.2 Kinda surprised the scale didn’t go up. Still prepared for it. No workout today. Helping my daughter and husband move into their new home tomorrow so definitely don’t want to be sore. I will get plenty of exercise tomorrow Happy Weekend Everyone!!! I hope you all find a reason to smile today. Quote of the day: “A journey of 1000 miles begins, continues and ends with a single step” – Andrea Muñoz
1/5- 223.0 And there it is, the sodium bump. Finished off my sauerkraut yesterday
1/6- 222.4 Trending down. Still haven't worked out. But I did pack and carry boxes down a flight of steps and go back up multiple times to help my daughter move. Unloading was a bit easier. Carried the same boxes but no stairs to go up and down.
Love your "picture" is that what it is called next to your name ? I think that is a good quote to keep thinking on;
Very inspiring.6 -
🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 283 (my 213th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine.
This round I’m starting in the New Year & new round, 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. My goal for this round is 2 pounds to start the New Year off. 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. Then for the rest of January 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 or even a piranha!
• to weigh less at the end of the round than the start & 2 pounds 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 283 144.8
1/1 Happy New Year to each one of you and your families.144.8 (trend 142.7) – urgh this number !!! Two meals yesterday, lunch with sisters & not good choices available on the menu and DH & I had planned a special steak meal as we weren’t going out to celebrate New Year, woke in the night feeling very bloated & uncomfortable so knew the number was going to high this morning. So enough of excuses; New Year, new round, new day, will treat today as a reset day, I need to stop the rot! All the open festive goodies have gone, still have a tub of Quality Street chocs, box of chocolate truffles & a block of Cadbury’s Dairy Milk all unopened & sealed, they will stay intact for all of this round. 9.12 miles walked.
1/2 143.2 (trend 142.8) – reset day worked well, may try to do this once per week; 1256 calories consumed, 7.51 miles walked, all chocolate packets remain sealed 😊.
1/3 142.6 (trend 142.7) – 6.69 miles walked, met up with DD,DIL, DS & all little DGC for a lovely day out before the older ones go back to school next week.
1/4 142.6 (trend 142.7) 7.98 miles walked, 3rd consecutive day of engaged eating, feeling in good spirits.
1/5 142.6 (trend 142.7) 13.28 miles walked over Cannock Chase, stopping off midway at Shugburough Hall to eat picnic.
1/6 142.6 (trend 142.7) No structured walking as snow was very slippery underfoot which later turned to torrential rain, snow again this morning. Did the 7 minute workout straight after catching up with all the posts yesterday morning, was quite nice to see that the final exercise is one of the toning and stretching that I do every am before shower & breakfast!
1/7 142 (trend 142.6) – 8.4 miles walked yesterday after the snow had melted. Had to pop to pick up a few groceries, they had packs of 3 of my favourite chocolate; Caramac, which is not readily available, I stopped at the shelf, then told myself I would binge on them & walked away. 6 consecutive days of being engaged & all the chocolates are still sealed! NSV for me 😊.
