Yesterday was spot on. The weather was even cooperating for a nice walk. I do make use of inside walks and jogging in place when it’s too cold or wet to motivate me for the outdoor world. I probably drive my family nuts with my indoor walks! 😂5 -
@tishabenn69 ~ I missed your post as well as I had already jumped to the new round. So sorry for your friend. It is unimaginable and I'm glad they caught him and I hope he truly gets what he deserves. Prayers of comfort for you and the families.

it takes patience, consistency ,determination and resilience ~ lyna
Challenges are meant to be conquered I am going to conquer my fear of hunger and the need to always eat something and why do i get nervous when i make a the decision to eat once a day although I not really hungry. I am trying to understand why i get this way.
For the past week I felt some habit crawling back this week into my life, eating when I am not hungry, eating out of boredom and out of impulse. I feel like I went back on my progress mentally due to stress. I checked in once on the last round although I weighed all the time. I am going to clean out my food this week and do some meal preparation for the week. It takes commitment to do this and I am going to eat well and be active as long as it takes in order to get the results I want. If I could take my eyes off looking for a quick fix or fad diet and build character and practices which would help me not only lose but maintain the lost weight: that to me is progress so help me God

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 284 (my 214th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine.
So here we go again, I’m just keeping plugging away! 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 & also remember that I am the driver of my life & not the passenger. My goal for this (round) again is 2 pounds. 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 relaxing for the last 2/3 is not acceptable! 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.

I am the driver in my life & not the passenger, I need to drive my life to a healthy life.
1/10 144 (trend 142.9) ugh! All chocolate still sealed & intact, but I’ve obviously eased up elsewhere, not much over calories; another bacon, brie & cranberry panini & extra sodium ? 10.4 miles walked. That’s a 0.2 pound increase & not the 2 pound I was aiming for ☹.
EW Rnd 283 144
SW Rnd 284 142.4
1/11 142.4 (trend 142.8) 7.15 miles walked. I can’t deny I went a bit berserk yesterday morning after the scales, ate much too much as I was so down on the number on the scales, but by lunchtime I’d reined myself in. Seeing today’s number makes me think that yes it was the sodium from the bacon & has made me feel better & re-enforce that knowledge that weight can fluctuate, so I’m back on it & looking forward to being the driver for 10 days! 😊
1/12 142.4 (trend 142.8) 9.34 miles walked. I was intrigued to get on the scales this morning, would it show my “don’t care” attitude from Friday or my “engaged driver” attitude from yesterday? I was grateful for the number! I really want to end this round with a 141 reading!
1/13 141.6 – (trend 142.6) 4.27 miles walked yesterday, met up with DD & family; gave her one of my boxes of chocolates to take home, other 2 are still sealed. Happy with this number, need to consolidate & build on it.

Well done! 👏👏4 -
They say "when you fail to plan, you plan to fail". Returning to scheduling my meals.8 -
@SModa61 I hate to hear about your responsibilities with your mom making you feel like the stone, but I get that. Having just come through that season, I will say that, I look back and treasure some of the moments as precious--moments I wouldn't have had with Dad had he not been here in our home and then close by at the end. But it was the hardest thing I've done, too. Look for those special moments and try to recognize them as they happen. Those are the memories I try to cling to (from that time). Some of the others, I try to forget forever. Hugs to you.
@SwimBikeRunRepeat I not only love your meal planning, but I love that you made it pretty! When I plan meals for the week, I just scribble them on a scratch pad. This is lovely!
@judefit1 You look amazing! What a transformation!6 -

Yesterday was a rest day, and boy did it feel good to just “relax”. However, I spent the day food prepping all my breakfast, lunches and as much for dinners as possible to make it easy for me to throw together a meal after I get home from the gym. I start school again this week, so things are about to get crazy and I know the only way I will stay on track is with this planning and prep. Today is also the day I get serious about no more smoking. It has now been 2 weeks without alcohol, so I figured now is a good time to add the smokes.

Thanks! 6 out of the 8 meals are very calorie-friendly. The other 2 dinners, I work around, calorie-wise (i.e., smaller breakfasts/lunches).3 -
Male: 67
6’-2”
OSW: 237.8 (Nov. 2016.) I was actually at 250 in 2011 or so…
OGW: 199 (just to say I did)
Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205
For a short while I will be away from home enjoying some time in a warmer climate. No scale, but from time to time I will step on the scale at the local grocery store fully clothed and after breakfast and coffee. A lot of DNW!
Simple Goals for this round with the hope that they turn into habits:
1. Log my food daily; try to eat cleaner and work on portion control.
2. Daily exercise; at least some movement.
3. Be mindful, moment by moment.

1/11: DNW
So I just reviewed my “goals” above. I have had these goals for several rounds, and have largely ignored them. I wish my new fitness watch had an airhorn blast notification when I am in violation, because my biggest failure is about goal number three.
I don’t do well with laxities, mentally or physically. It becomes the default way too easily. This round I want to show up and be present with these goals. I am not trying to win the Olympics here, but there is no reason I can’t log every molecule I put into my cake hole, and there is no reason I can’t at least walk up and down the street or unroll the yoga mat or tug on the elastic band.
After I get a handle on these disciplines, I will get more specific about CICO goals.
I am setting a daily evening alarm on my phone right now to remind me of any work needing to be done before bed.
Thank you all.
1/12: DNW
My reminder alarm went off last evening and my work was already finished! Got to keep it going today.
Now, having said that, my calorie count was obscene. That’s why I want to track it. I don’t know what to fix if I can’t see the direct consequences of my choices. Key Lime Pie on the menu for tonight, so I need to bank some space on the CI side.
1/10/25 : 227.5
SW a few days before.
1/13: DNW
Tracked fully again yesterday. Pardon the pun. It is amazing what gets past the radar when I am not paying attention.
NSV: When the Key Lime Pie was delivered to the table last night, I immediately asked for a knife and a to-go box. The good news is I brought half of it home instead of eating the whole thing. The bad news is I brought half of it home.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.8 -
@SModa61 I hate to hear about your responsibilities with your mom making you feel like the stone, but I get that. Having just come through that season, I will say that, I look back and treasure some of the moments as precious--moments I wouldn't have had with Dad had he not been here in our home and then close by at the end. But it was the hardest thing I've done, too. Look for those special moments and try to recognize them as they happen. Those are the memories I try to cling to (from that time). Some of the others, I try to forget forever. Hugs to you.
@SwimBikeRunRepeat I not only love your meal planning, but I love that you made it pretty! When I plan meals for the week, I just scribble them on a scratch pad. This is lovely!
Thanks! I post it on the kitchen fridge to give everyone a heads-up. lol2 -
Round 284
Jan 11 – 20, 2025
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!

1/11 – DNW
1/12 – 136.2 I channeled Britney Spears with “Oops!....I did it again” this week. We made it to the Keys a week ago yesterday. I have to yet to finish unpacking, but DH and I have dealt with all sorts of condo association issues, like being the ones (me) to notice the city sewage pump out holding tank was back flowing in the property and dealing with the city, cleaning out two 12x12 community storage closets that had not been gone through in 25 year, and so on. Plus things in our own unit – emptying power outaged fridge, plumber for 5 projects in unit, etc. Have NOT joined the gym yet, BUT yesterday was the first day I can say I was proud of in a long time. Walked 5 miles and ate healthy, even if it was not tracked. This morning I intentionally got up at 5:15am so I could try and catch up here.
Oh, I just remembered something else I meant to report during. On Dec 31, I took ALL my measurements. When I get to May, it will be interesting to see what I accomplished. Hopefully something worthwhile.
1/13 – 136.3 Well yesterday was an awesome day. Tracked everything, exercised and tracked that as well. Joined the gym (but did not attend yet). BUT man am I hurting today. Yesterday I did a 5 mile walk, two laps with company and one alone. Then, when hubby said he was going bike riding I offered to join if we could top at the PO to drop off letters and let me join the gym next door. All and all we rode 7 miles. There are certainly some parts of me that are not happy today. I will do the walk this morning but just the two laps with people at that slower pace. OH, and I totally realize the “up” today is relating to the pain I am feeling. I am looking to end this round with some sort of 135 (or lower in a miracle).

1/13 DNW Yesterday I did the thing where I write a post and hit the wrong button instead of “post reply”. I know I’m not alone on this one.
Let’s just imagine I said incredibly insightful, thoughtful and witty things.
I’m glad my humor is appreciated. I do have to be careful to not use it as a deflection. Growing up as the fat girl, fat friend, fat sister, etc I definitely developed “personality” for protection and value.
In the long run this has served me well as an adult but I definitely went through a phase where it was a bit toxic. Growing pains.
The lasagna and I have called a truce, it was a fair fight. I will have some today but a small amount and early so I use it as fuel for a good work out.
I had movie theater popcorn yesterday and I’m definitely feeling the salt. I was so full I skipped dinner.
Geez, lasagna and movie popcorn!!! I am NOT looking forward to the new scale’s arrival. I know I’m not eating for success. Workouts are on point though.
Oh I am going to get a very cruel reality check when I see my number.
Today I will eat on plan, I will drink my water and I will not let a few bad decisions throw me off course.
I got this! It’s January, it’s not going to be easy. I just need to stay engage and start fresh every day.

Hi everyone, this is my second challenge in a row. I hope to continue at least until August (my wedding).
I’m 35 years old and 164 cm. I work from home, so my life is pretty sedentary but I started going gym 3 times a week since 30 December 2024.
Background info in spoiler.I have tried to lose weight since my teenage years, but since then I gained 40+ kgs. I lost significant weight twice in my life. First time, I changed my understanding of eating healthy and lost around 15 kgs in a year. Second time, I used Saxenda (GLP-1 med), I don’t remember how much I lost exactly but around 10-15 kgs but when I stopped using Saxenda I immediately gained it all back and more in a few months. So this time, I again focus of changing my mindset. I need to lose weight for improving my health and potential fertility issues due to PCOS since I have been considering trying for a baby at the second half of this year.
SW: 103.3 kg (31 December 2024)
GW (until August): 85 kg
SW RND 284: 102.3 kg

@Judefit1 @Lita_Loses_it_all "Stress is often called a silent killer. I don't think it is silent at all. I think we mute it." The impact of stress scares me a lot.
This is why I worry about DH and his position on our HOA board.
“I also had a "never over" number as well. It was 130. Now I am trying to first get back under 135.”
Me too! I want to get back to 120 but will “settle” for more.
@deepwoodslady Reread your post from 1/11 where you say you got too heavily into the snacks. Might that explain your bump up on 1/12?
@quiltingjaine I have to share with you something crazy. I sat there and sat there reading your post trying to figure out when did I type "This is why I worry about DH and his position on our HOA board". DH is in the exact same situation, hence why I thought I must have typed it. We're typing to spot his way out, but the association is such a mess from neglect, if he leaves, it just revert before having a chance to become stable.2 -

Backstory & JGMTD 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 a 5-min lymphatic massage & ⏱️“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)!!!!
👇🏻Progress 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… !

1/10 Puffy & Bloated. Ate late but on maintenance. This will drop. Ok ok ok. I’m doing ok. The point is that I did NOT accomplish what I set out to do. I held the line.
Give myself a B- this round. The melancholy is real when it strikes. I battled back super well but didn’t get my 🥩🏋️♀️or deficits when I COULD. This past week below normal temps and rain. Must have a battle plan for inclimate weather & lack of mental fortitude. I also realize I’m at my self-imposed plateau and this is where my resilience 💪🏻 and actions are needed most. I KNOW THIS!!! Still at base camp and will ascend the ⛰️ top! 🏁🏁🏁.
See yall R284! 1/11 131.0
Will update my goal to 128x for 1/30 vs 1/20 but will continue to ENGAGE for an earlier breakthrough. Inbody scan on 1/31. Let’s be real here. I know this is a tall order. Stuck for six months. If I work my plan consistently for 10 days, NOW, I will do this! I worked the plan only 40% last round. For me, this round is not about the scale - it’s about keeping THIS commitment to myself. INTEGRITY FIRST.
I’m tracking all measures on spreadsheet but will report the PRIORITY to JGMTD [emphasis]

1/12 slept poorly for the first time in a week+. Go figure. I’m disappointed (tossed/turned - up @ 3AM) because my day will be off. Had a really solid day yesterday. Hit all four nutrition measures🏆. Best 🏋️♀️in weeks! Maintaining mission and keeping a winning-mindset. Im glad I’ve learned that an unexpected uptick is simply bodily functions off-kilter. Perfect kickoff for this round.

@musicsax Wow, you are a walking machine!! Keep it up
@Slimmersixties Great job on the awsome loss! You are doing amazing, keep it up
@SwimBikeRunRepeat I really like that tracker, it is so pretty. I have a very plain magnetic dry erase board. I keep on the front of my fridge as well. Helps keep me on track and helps me easily prepress dinners and gives me the opportunity to have someone else take over last minute if necessary.
@_JeffreyD_ You are my hero for having the will power to only eat half the key lime pie. Key lime is an aboslute weakness of mine, so I am not sure i could have done the same thing!5 -

LOVE the dry erase white boards. I use them for a lot of things, at-home!2 -
@kristawatkins52 BRAVO on looking out for you! One thin I have observed over the years is that depending on someone else for your motivation often does not work out well in the long run. Also, congrats on the no alcohol and good luck with the smokes.
@santiagoAlverez Keep in mind that more is not always better, even for water (which is mind blowing). I did a quick google search to refresh my memory and came back with this.Is it safe to drink 100 ounces of water per day?
Drinking 100 ounces of water per day falls within the recommended range for men but for women, it exceeds the range. In general, it is safe to drink 100 ounces of water per day, but it is important to listen to your body and adjust your water intake as required.
Drinking too much water can lead to a condition called hyponatremia, which occurs when the level of sodium in the blood is too low. This can be caused by drinking excessive amounts of water, which dilutes the sodium concentration in the blood. Consult a doctor if you have any concerns or questions about your water intake.
and one gallon is 128 ounces.
@Slimmersixties What is wild about my changes with a little alcohol is that my mind is still clear enough to observe what I am doing, yet I know longer care. It reminds me of those little angel and devil-on-the-shoulder skits, with the two arguing. That can be me depending on the situation. I grew up with a dad who was obnoxious with alcohol, and his father was an actual alcoholic. I wonder if there are some genetics in the line. I am just glad I have recognized about myself and can work to avoid.
@SwimBikeRunRepeat Awesome chart and planning. Planning can make such a positive difference.
@UTMom81 Thanks!! Sadly, there are fewer "happy" memories happening, and bit by bit these unfortunate memories are over writing the good ones in my head.
@skyleen75 I can relate with the "fat kid" childhood, the ironic part was I was 5'5" and 125 but was referred to as "chunky chicken" by my dad. These days I do not think of those numbers as "chunky".
@tishabenn69 So very sorry, and how very terrible. I have managed to find the news reports on this but they have no insights to his motivation. Prayers for the families of these three girls.5 -
