Don't let those scales demotivate you! There are loads of reasons for overnight gains! Here are some ....

Thank you for sharing this chart.
Many experts advise NOT weighing daily. There are both pros and cons to weighing daily. When I first started, I chose to weigh every three days. Some say once a week. Each person must decide what is best for them. Personally, it’s taken me FOREVER to realize that the scale is more often than not late to the game… For some, it serves as a terrific daily barometer. But not me -not so much. I prefer every three days. But this round I’m measuring everyday to learn about my thoughts/ emotions / bodily functions…. And learning to disassociate what the scale says “daily” vs my “daily” efforts.

@Chapter_3 @Slimmersixties @lolakinks The reason I like to weigh daily is so I can see a true picture. With my luck, if I did it every three days or every week, that would be the day it shoots way up or way down, giving me a false impression. Of course, I am giving this opinion while I have no access to a scale for a few weeks.

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.

1/13: 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.

1/14: 229,5
To be fair this grocery store weigh-in needs a couple qualifications. It was late evening, fully clothed including clod-hopper walking shoes. (and, oh, I have been eating like it’s 1999. A vague Prince reference for you there.) I have been logging it all and doing a lot of movement.

The Key Lime Pie is still in the fridge. But not for long.

1/15: DNW
Yesterday I smoked 3 racks of ribs. Lots of male bonding centered around the taming of fire. Though the ribs would not have won a competition, they were very good! I was able to share a few bones with some friends and family. (I always feel bad when I can’t share with everyone.) And, the pie is gone. ALL OF IT LOGGED!

Speaking of fire, I am hoping and praying for rain in southern California.

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.

@_JeffreyD_
I’ve always been an outlier!
I guess weighing every day is good… But I really hate it. I hate it hate it. Hate it. Hate it… HATE IT! It’s true that the fluctuations can be just as random every three days as they are every day… Can I just throw the scale away, please please please?!?!?!!

* Strength training 3 times per round.
* 90+ grams of protein each day.
* Drink more water!
*New walking goal: 110 miles in January. May raise that in spring.

SW Rnd 284—152.6
Round Goal--to be no higher than my start weight when I come back from NYC but enjoy the food, too! Not sure that's possible, but that's my goal.
1/11 152.6 I’m pretty proud that in spite of being snowed in almost all day, I still got in my 10k steps. Also, my big bathroom cabinet where everything other than towels is stored lost a LOT of weight last night! Cleaned it out and reorganized it, and that felt SO good! Good use of a snowed in night! I WILL do a strength training session today after hubby goes to work! I’ll have to do something else in order to get anywhere near getting my steps in today, too. I won’t be walking in the snow/ice because we are scheduled to go to NYC on Friday for hubby’s birthday weekend, and with my luck, I’d fall and mess that up. 😂🤣😂 Just realized this is a really short round for me since I won't have scales or be back before the end of the round. Gotta make these days count!
1/12. 153.2 No idea where that came from. All meals eaten at home according to plan. Three different workouts, 2 at home and one where we went to Target just to walk. 56 min in zone. Well, maybe this is the uptick before a swoosh!
1/13 152 That’s a little better! Prepped some breakfasts to keep in the freezer when I get tired of eggs and turkey bacon. Had a really good day, food wise. No workouts to get me to Zone 2, but got in steps doing things around the house and walking aisles while hubby looked for warm pants to take to NYC. I had tweaked that hip flexor again over the weekend, so I’m trying to let it heal a bit before all the walking this weekend.
1/14 153.2 Came home from the gym starving yesterday and didn’t track AS I ate. Therefore ended up eating too many calories—they were in mostly good things, but just too much in one day and too many carbs. Lots of exercise though—a treadmill workout and then aqua fitness class. Then lots of walking during shopping.
1/15 152 I did two classes at the gym yesterday—my first ever Zumba and then the regular Silver Sneakers I have been doing. I liked the Zumba even though I got lost in the steps some. Fun! Over 13k steps. Nutrition was spot on.
1/16 151 WooHoo!!! Down 40 lbs! Finally!!! Had a rest day yesterday except for a nice, but chilly, walk in the neighborhood, but calories were good. Doing the happy dance this morning.

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… !

Previous Daily
****************

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]

KISS=
🏆Nutrition (IF, cals, macros, Pg)🚶‍♀️10k, 💗Z2, 🏋️‍♀️30 min 5x
Onward!

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.

1/13 ✅Pg (120g) ; P:E (1.8) but ate @ maintenance cals. My entire day was discombobulated because of no sleep & couldn’t nap… Cold and rainy. Read JGMTD for motivation…. helped with healthy food choices but gosh I was tired. No structured walk. Didn’t leave house. Non-productive day. NSV: Proud of 🏋️‍♀️30 min.
Slept much better last night so I look forward to a +day. Refreshed. Never underestimate the power of a great night’s sleep!

1/14 131.8. 🙃 This happens with big activity days & no TMI. Bloated. Super sore this morn. 🏋️‍♀️🚶‍♀️early, then 🎾, ✅ Pg, ✅P:E but only <100> cals so no 🏆!! 🙃I was hungry after 🎾& enjoyed extra protein. Still a win. Also played 🏀w/DGS & Hubby. So much fun. We laughed so hard. Great day!
This morning is my first competitive team 🎾match in several months. Will be 🥶(32 & windy) but looking forward to team tennis. Will see DGS after school all week! For those new to this group, he is my “why”! I want to be able to participate with him (keep up & more!) and the rest of our grandchildren as fully as possible, for as long as possible! #HSF

1/15 The scale feels low. I suspect this is also a timing issue since OMAD yesterday @ 2PM after 🎾. I know I didn’t lose 1.6lbs in 24 hours but perhaps 1.6 lbs since 1/1 and it’s starting to show on the scale Good morning run your coffee cup under the hot water? Or not, right? Will see how I feel later today after more team🎾 . 🏋️‍♀️🚶‍♀️💗. Keeping my eyes on the calorie deficit today and the entire process.

The “tough love” situation is looming. I’m learning much about my thought processes and how I’m choosing to change thought patterns. Not always successful but definite improvement. This learned “skill” is most assuredly the core of this health journey…. thoughts>emotions>actions. This is the foundation to improving “what we do”. Change your daily thoughts? Change your daily actions! Change your identity. I’m starting to more quickly & deliberately recognize the interconnectivity. Walking the walk. This is being #ENGAGED. Reading more on building healthy habits. Getting closer to 🏔️!

I have not given myself permission to give up.

I’m just going to keep rambling along picking up rocks, staring at the sky- eventually I’ll pick up my pace.

NSV- I made a New Year’s resolution (how cliche) to take better care of my skin on my whole body, from the soles of my feet to the top of my head. I’m really enjoying this. And yes it starts with more water!!!!

Round 284
January 11 - 20, 2025

My 5th round in a row! 😊 I am a 70 year old retired RN, caregiver for my husband and my mother in NE Ohio. We have two adult, married children and four adult, unmarried granddaughters.

HW 222 in 2022
GW 130
SMART Goals this new year session:
1. Keep net carbs below 30
2. Keep kcal below 1200
3. Record ALL dietary intake
4. Walk a minimum of 5000 steps
5. Lose one pound in ten days
6. Practice supportive/positive ‘self talk’ at least once per day for 10 days

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE choice 👍👍

1/11 142.6 Yes, still snowing. Brrrrrr
1/12 142.6
1/13 142.8 still cooooooooold. Treadmill yesterday. It is going to make me work for the loss this week. 4900 steps.
1/14 142.8 wow, five days at 142 and a couple of ounces. It is only six degrees out there this morning. Went out to the store yesterday. What a great time to hibernate. 😊
1/15 142.8—six days at 142.
1/16 143.6—Well, I guess that is what happens when complaining about being the same weight for six days. 😉 Brutally cold again today. Treadmill yesterday.

Hi, I'm Charissa.

Thank you, @QuiltingJaine, for leading the charge in 2025!

Round 283 was quite the mental round. But moving on, still seeing success! This round will be somewhat challenging... so my goal is to just finish the round lower than what I started and .1 Is totally acceptable!!! I have a party today for my MIL. Tomorrow, my DH's daugher wants to take him to brunch for a belated birthday present and the 17th we have dinner out with friends.

Good Luck to everyone this round!

Q: What will be different in 2025 vs all the other times?
A: Change in my mindset
A: Being mindful and engaged
A: Addressing the elephant in the room!
A: No excuses
A: DETERMINED AND ENGAGED

Overall Goals for 2025
Lose weight in the kitchen ⚖️, get fit in the gym🏋🏾‍♀️

Note: These are pretty much my same goals from 2023 and 2024, I've made some great progress but now it's time to knock this list out! My goals are SMART - just not including all the details here:

Goal#1 - Calories - Aim and plan for 1200; allow 400 just in case for a total of 1600. **Eat well 🥗to Live Well 🚢✈️🧳
Goal#2 - Wine/Alcohol Reduction - 85% Dry January or better ** 🚫🍷 Alcohol kills weight loss as the focus is burning alcohol calories and not fat calories!
Goal #3 - Water - Minimum 50 ounces - Maximum 100 (only if consumed before 6pm) H2O - Make it Flow 💦💦💦
Goal #4 - Exercise - 6 days a week (Cardio, Core, Stretching, Strength Training) ~ 🏋🏾‍♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
Goal #5 - Self Care (Reading, Journaling, Monthly recap, Learning, Pampering)
Goal #6 - Organization and Declutter (Finish unpacking)
** To get to 100%

SW RND 284 - 228.2
Dates = Weight ; Comments regarding prior day.
1/11 227.1 ~ The scale was still bouncing around this morning. I got my other scale out for verification and then changed the batteries. I really like the Withings scale (new) as long as it's accurate

1/12 227.0 ~ 🚶🏽🍎⬇️ After Birthday Party seems unscathed! We actually went to lunch/late dinner before the party and passed on cake and ice cream (not my temptation) and actually was within calorie budget. Short on water though.
1/13 228.7 ~ After Brunch. I was an absolute fool yesterday at the brunch. The food wasn't that great but the mimosas were excellent

. I surely overdid it and I paid for it with a restless night of sleep. Today is recovery day. Calories between 1000 and 1200 and LOTS of water and exercise.
[1/14 228.1 ~ 🚶🏽🏋️‍♀️🍎✅💧⬇️ Good day yesterday and ok with scale. Calories 1670, still within (kinda) range

Everything else was as planned. Today is a work day so more sitting, but did get 30 minutes in on the treadmill this morning.
1/15 227.6 ~ 🚶🏽🍎✅💧⬇️ Five days in... check and double checked scale. On target to finish lower than I started. I already logged my calories for today including bookclub wine and I'm slightly under goal so no extras.... I should be at least the same tomorrow. Then 3 days to recover from dinner out....

1/16 229.4 ~ 🚶🏽🍎💧 After book club...HA! Late evening. Way over on calories. Today is a reset day. I've really got to exercise restraint on Friday to meet my round goal (lower than I started)

@musicsax ~ I've never heard of that song but I LOVE it. Thanks for sharing the lyrics.

@slimmersixties ~ Maybe they intended breathing through the mouth (snoring) vs none breathing. All other items seem valid!

@swimbikerunrepeat ~ I hear you on the playoffs. I'm trying to focus only on the games...

There should be some good games this weekend.

@UTMom81 ~ Joining you in the happy dance!! Congrats at 40lbs!!!

@skyleen75 ~ good for you, making it a priority to take care of ALL of you!!

@cyndiemi ~ hang in there...

*New walking goal: 110 miles in January. May raise that in spring.

SW Rnd 284—152.6
Round Goal--to be no higher than my start weight when I come back from NYC but enjoy the food, too! Not sure that's possible, but that's my goal.
1/11 152.6 I’m pretty proud that in spite of being snowed in almost all day, I still got in my 10k steps. Also, my big bathroom cabinet where everything other than towels is stored lost a LOT of weight last night! Cleaned it out and reorganized it, and that felt SO good! Good use of a snowed in night! I WILL do a strength training session today after hubby goes to work! I’ll have to do something else in order to get anywhere near getting my steps in today, too. I won’t be walking in the snow/ice because we are scheduled to go to NYC on Friday for hubby’s birthday weekend, and with my luck, I’d fall and mess that up. 😂🤣😂 Just realized this is a really short round for me since I won't have scales or be back before the end of the round. Gotta make these days count!
1/12. 153.2 No idea where that came from. All meals eaten at home according to plan. Three different workouts, 2 at home and one where we went to Target just to walk. 56 min in zone. Well, maybe this is the uptick before a swoosh!
1/13 152 That’s a little better! Prepped some breakfasts to keep in the freezer when I get tired of eggs and turkey bacon. Had a really good day, food wise. No workouts to get me to Zone 2, but got in steps doing things around the house and walking aisles while hubby looked for warm pants to take to NYC. I had tweaked that hip flexor again over the weekend, so I’m trying to let it heal a bit before all the walking this weekend.
1/14 153.2 Came home from the gym starving yesterday and didn’t track AS I ate. Therefore ended up eating too many calories—they were in mostly good things, but just too much in one day and too many carbs. Lots of exercise though—a treadmill workout and then aqua fitness class. Then lots of walking during shopping.
1/15 152 I did two classes at the gym yesterday—my first ever Zumba and then the regular Silver Sneakers I have been doing. I liked the Zumba even though I got lost in the steps some. Fun! Over 13k steps. Nutrition was spot on.
1/16 151 WooHoo!!! Down 40 lbs! Finally!!! Had a rest day yesterday except for a nice, but chilly, walk in the neighborhood, but calories were good. Doing the happy dance this morning.

🔆 Gooood Morrrrning everyone 🔆

Forgot to weigh yesterday ... but woke up to a pleasant surprise this morning ... living on the edge of the 150's at 159.9lbs 😎

Anyone find the crossover to a lower "decade" (I saw someone use that term and i love it !!!!) to be so hard ??? Not sure if its psychological but I strongly dislike being at this junction ( – ⌓ – )

Challenge Goals:
1. Meal prep for week (January 11-17)
2. 45 mins of movement each morning
3. Walk/exercise 30 minutes as soon as I get home.
4. No evening/night snacking
5. 64oz of water per day

Meal prepping has been a game changer ... one less thing to think about, just grab and go!!!

Im on the Executive of my HOA and we had a meeting last night so didn't get to exercise when I got home, so by time we were done I skipped dinner and headed straight to bed. Woke up famished !!!
I could barely get 30 mins of stationary bike, but I got it done

already had 32 oz of water since morning so ... fingers crossed... ill hit my 64oz today

I’ve always been an outlier!
I guess weighing every day is good… But I really hate it. I hate it hate it. Hate it. Hate it… HATE IT! It’s true that the fluctuations can be just as random every three days as they are every day… Can I just throw the scale away, please please please?!?!?!!

You know, I think a case can be made for that if the scale is making you feel bad. Unneeded negative emotions aren’t good for your health or happiness. Maybe you could consider a different metric to measure progress; inches? Strength when weight lifting? How you feel? Obviously that one is hard to measure. I feel like the weight watchers culture and BMI has sort of warped us into focusing on things that may not be the best reflection of what we’re doing every day and what matters. I’m in the same mindset, so I’m just spitballing here. I was on WW for the first time when I was 17 so it’s all deeply ingrained in me. I’m hoping to shift to muscle building after my half marathon but it’s a huge mindset shift.

SW Rnd 284—152.6
Round Goal--to be no higher than my start weight when I come back from NYC but enjoy the food, too! Not sure that's possible, but that's my goal.
1/11 152.6 I’m pretty proud that in spite of being snowed in almost all day, I still got in my 10k steps. Also, my big bathroom cabinet where everything other than towels is stored lost a LOT of weight last night! Cleaned it out and reorganized it, and that felt SO good! Good use of a snowed in night! I WILL do a strength training session today after hubby goes to work! I’ll have to do something else in order to get anywhere near getting my steps in today, too. I won’t be walking in the snow/ice because we are scheduled to go to NYC on Friday for hubby’s birthday weekend, and with my luck, I’d fall and mess that up. 😂🤣😂 Just realized this is a really short round for me since I won't have scales or be back before the end of the round. Gotta make these days count!
1/12. 153.2 No idea where that came from. All meals eaten at home according to plan. Three different workouts, 2 at home and one where we went to Target just to walk. 56 min in zone. Well, maybe this is the uptick before a swoosh!
1/13 152 That’s a little better! Prepped some breakfasts to keep in the freezer when I get tired of eggs and turkey bacon. Had a really good day, food wise. No workouts to get me to Zone 2, but got in steps doing things around the house and walking aisles while hubby looked for warm pants to take to NYC. I had tweaked that hip flexor again over the weekend, so I’m trying to let it heal a bit before all the walking this weekend.
1/14 153.2 Came home from the gym starving yesterday and didn’t track AS I ate. Therefore ended up eating too many calories—they were in mostly good things, but just too much in one day and too many carbs. Lots of exercise though—a treadmill workout and then aqua fitness class. Then lots of walking during shopping.
1/15 152 I did two classes at the gym yesterday—my first ever Zumba and then the regular Silver Sneakers I have been doing. I liked the Zumba even though I got lost in the steps some. Fun! Over 13k steps. Nutrition was spot on.
1/16 151 WooHoo!!! Down 40 lbs! Finally!!! Had a rest day yesterday except for a nice, but chilly, walk in the neighborhood, but calories were good. Doing the happy dance this morning.

pezhed · January 16

Hi, I'm Amanda! 5'2" 39F in Virginia, excited to return this round after taking a couple off!

RSW: 128.8
RGW: 127.8

NS goals (tracked for previous day with emojis):
🏃🏻‍♀️Follow my running training plan exactly, which I think will require training 8/10 days. Half marathon on Feb 2nd!
✔️Core 7/10 days (5 days a week)
🏋🏻‍♀️Lift weights 3/10 days (twice a week)
🚫 Alcohol-free 10/10 days (doing most of dry January except for the first 6 days I was on vacation

)

1/11 - 128.0 🚫🏃🏻‍♀️I did my first long run in a while yesterday and my body is certainly feeling it. My town has been coated in ice all week so I ran the neighborhoods I knew were scraped but did most of my run on the indoor track at the gym. Holy tedium, I will not do that again. Peloton runs on the tread are much more engaging when weather doesn’t permit outdoor running.

We got a couple inches of snow last night so my “workout” will probably be pulling the kids around on the sled. Not off to the best start with pancakes and bacon for breakfast, typical weekend day. Will track them and work around them for the rest of the day. Happy Saturday!

1/12 - 129.6 ✔️🚫 Surprised by the gain today as I was only over by 500-600 cals yesterday, but dinner was very salty with soy sauce, so I’m going to just ride the wave for now. I did end up doing a core workout and a peloton yoga for runners class that felt AMAZING. Otherwise it was snow play. The kids had a blast sledding. I’m dying to go skiing but it’s hard to figure out with the kids, especially the almost 4 year old. The mountain close to us doesn’t offer anything for his age. So I’ll just do my prescribed 45-minute run and look longingly at the snow. We are having pizza and wings today during the Bills/Broncos game (Go Bills!) so have to plan accordingly.

1/13 - 127.4 🚫 There went some water! Back to my 10-pounds-lost milestone. Hope to pass it this time instead of kissing it and going back up like last time. My 3 year old was sick and needy yesterday, so I spent most of the day on the couch with him. I was going to run after dinner until my 5 year old looked at me with his big, sweet eyes and asked me to watch Neverending Story with him. How could I say no? I guess this is why I need to do workouts in the morning. 3yo is home sick today, and I’m starting to have a pretty persistent cough too. ‘Tis the season for family illness. The 5yo is on a 2 hour weather delay so after he gets on the bus I’ll run. Just another small wrench in the wellness plan.

1/14 - 126.8 ✔️🚫🏃🏻‍♀️ My weight is looking good, but unfortunately today is a sad day. My cat, Beatrice, is in rapid decline after a very long slow decline from kidney disease. She's 19.5 and the vet is coming to put her down in an hour. She's been with me for nearly half my life. I didn't process back when I adopted her that she'd be with me through my young adulthood, moving all over the country, the adoption of canine pet siblings, and then the birth and early childhood of my kids. I don't think I would have believed anyone if they'd told me. May she rest in peace 💔

1/15 - 126.4 🚫🏃🏻‍♀️ This week is pretty brutal. I now have my son's flu and am feeling majorly under the weather. And the 3 year old is still home sick but not so sick that he's calm. DH had an all day mandatory meeting today. I took a sick day despite working from home. I am not going to be active today and just focus on recovery. Hopefully in a few days I'll be back in full force.

1/16 - 125.6 🚫 My weight is dropping but this is not how I want to lose. I feel like I’m just deteriorating. I think I ate all my calories yesterday but my appetite has been low. Really want to eat more protein today but everything proteiny sounds unappealing to my sick body. Probably a third of my calories were ramen yesterday. Today I’m going to walk the dogs but miss my training run. This is not what I needed so soon before the half. I think I have to change my goal from PR to just finishing it without injury. The 3 year old is still very sick. This flu is nasty. We’re 4 days in as of today and his temp spiked to 103.5 last night. It’s not quite as bad in my adult body but still quite disruptive.

Thank you @quiltingjaine I’m back for my second round of 2025. I want to build on progress made in the last round (SW 64.5 EW 63.6)

Sat 11 63.2 😊 That was a nice surprise. Trend 63.7 ⬇️
Sun 12 63.2 😊 I’m not surprised after yesterday. Trend 63.5 ⬇️
Mon 13 62.8 😊😊 Trend 63.3 ⬇️
Tue 14 63.0 Trend 63.1 ⬇️. Let’s see what tomorrow brings!
Wed 15. ❌ looks as if my scales are broken, they gave me a higher weight than I expected. Tried again and a very different weight came up. Put my big towelling dressing gown on and got my lightest weight! Tried changing the batteries but that didn’t help. Probably time to get some new ones.
Thu 16 63.2 🙁 trend 63 ⬇️. My husband says the scales are fine. I’ve requested he stops moving them! I don’t trust them but we will see as we’ve agreed on a place for them that suits both of us and the cat’s weekly weigh in.

January is the quietest month in the garden.
But just because it looks quiet doesn’t mean that nothing is happening.~ Rosalie Muller Wright

ROUND 284
01/11 – DNW Returned from ski trip
01/12 – 130.9 AFP Yoga
01/13 – 130.7 Noon Body Pump
01/14 – 132.9 Morning Swim
01/15 – 130.7 Noon Body Pump
01/16 – 130.0 AFP Yoga, Zoo with DGS

I had a bowl of cereal in the middle of the night because I was too hungry to sleep. I’d eaten
breakfast, lunch and dinner, but it wasn’t enough. It’s hard to get that Goldilocks amount - few enough calories to be in a deficit but enough to not be hungry. It was well after midnight before sleep so I missed my Thursday 5:45 am swim. I never miss swimming. Now I’m late for work. I feel like my whole routine is akilter. Time to get it together!!!

I have had some time to start to catch up on posts since the New Year – I'm up to mid-Round 282. I love keeping up with all y’all but won’t comment beyond the moment, save just a few:

@Jspecies11 - “The most practical way to change who you are is to change what you do."
James Clear – THIS is my goal, to change my habits and put things on auto-pilot, so when I fail to be engaged, (like today), my good habits will take over and I will right myself.

@lita_loses_it_all – “No FF, or soda. None. Nada. Nil. Y’all, I’m ecstatic! 🤩 “ – That, repeated, is life changing! (And reading further posts I see it is repeated.) I’m so pleased for you! I’m going to adopt your plan to exercise for one song. You have great ideas and energy to contribute to this group. I look forward to reading about your journey, both the good and the bad. Perfection is not required!

PS - I’m no expert here but feel compelled to warn about “pushing through the pain”. This may cause you harm. Sharp pain at best is detrimental to your efforts and unnecessary to endure. Steps are not for everybody. You need to save your steps for boxing and grocery shopping with that new bag. Find what’s appropriate for you and your WELLbeing. You, Lita, are worth taking care of.

PPS – Love this..” I don’t know how my story will end, but nowhere in my text will it EVER read… “I gave up”. (author unknown)”

@judefit1 – Those photos show life-changing changes! You are a quiet leader by example.

@Loseitnotkeepit – A fellow skier! Learning as an adult is hard, but do-able. First days can be difficult, perhaps no fun at all. If you even enjoyed a minute of your first lesson then you are a natural. I hope you can keep it up because one day you’ll be gliding down that mountain (slowly perhaps), cold fresh air in your face, the majesty of God’s beauty before you, strong legs underneath. You’ll be hooked forever.

@skyleen – OMGoodness! Look at you in that icy water!!! You are brave, crazy, and wonderful girl! Thanks for sharing.

@cyndiemi – Wow! You do have a lot on your plate. Care giving can eat you alive. It’s a very good and wonderful thing that you’re taking some time to take care of yourself. Your family will also benefit as you get stronger, inside and out. I send prayers to you and all care givers.

cyndiemi · January 16

Thank you @Blueberries59 . Your comment on your profile page regarding your sister was sweet. I lost my sister in 2021 to Pancreatic Cancer. We were never exceptionally close; however, now I miss her and regret not reaching out more. 65 years was not long enough to know her.

01/14-192.6-(Trend Weight: 192.4)-

01/15-190.6-(Trend Weight: 192.2)- Up and down. Up and down. It’s amazing how TMI (or lack of) affects the scale. Also, my Lasix makes a huge difference in removing the fluids pooling at the ankles, abdomen and in the lungs. I hit this weight several times over the past week so I do think this is the true weight I’m trying to reduce from. But I will say that it was a delayed weigh in by about 2 hours. My goal is to now try to actually reduce from here and lose actual fat. I cannot take Lasix today due to so many local errands today. So scale could be up a bit tomorrow with fluid. Gosh, it’s so hard to actually track this way! However, I know if I’ll just do the right things I will be overall healthier and eventually lighter too. Happy hump day ya’ll.

01/16-193.8-(Trend Weight: 192.4)- 3.2 lbs gained overnight. I did have pizza for lunch while out on errands but ended up with no dinner as I was still too full. However, due to the errands I could not take the Lasix so I believe much of this is the fluid pooling again. It’s pretty clear that it will be hard to gauge my weight losses or gains with this Lasix situation. All I can do is stay the course and realize that when I dip from low 190’s to somewhere in the 180’s consistently, even without the Lasix then I’m probably making progress. Body measuring will not be a good measure either as I bloat real big in my midsection when fluid is building. Humph…. It doesn’t mean I stop working at progress, it just means I probably won’t be able to experience the full or true measure of success or pleasure at progress which is disappointing. I don’t want that to deter me. I just have to accept it and keep working. I just wish it could be different. ½ day of school today. I’ll take my Lasix after I meet the bus at about 12:30.

1/16 - 166.0 - Not sure? I did switch up my dinner a bit but I logged it (an estimate) and it was veggies so overall healthy. I don't feel particularly bloated, but I do look a bit puffier than normal. It also could be the lack of sleep catching up to me. I did go to sleep earlier last night to allow myself ample time to read and wind down which helped. I was definitely already asleep when BF went to bed and I think he was only about an hour behind when I went to read. I'm looking forward to Saturday and no alarms! Gym went well today and I've got my meals pre-logged. I do have room for snacks which I'll determine later depending on how I feel, such as if I'm hungry between now and lunch so dividing the macros between 2 snacks or saving up for a larger snack between lunch and dinner. I only have about 2 hours until lunch so I'm guessing I'll be good to have a larger afternoon snack and push back dinner a tiny bit to eat with BF when he gets home.

1/ - Drop off after getting [mostly] back on track yesterday. I was short on my water goal but I at least tracked and hit my macro goals as well as got my steps and a walk in. Thursday was horrible weather-wise and there was a constant threat of losing power or water. Friday was a bit messy in the morning until the temperatures made it above freezing and the roads were clear of ice to travel again at which point I was running errands and doing tasks all day to try to lessen the load for the weekend. Saturday was busy with more tasks and errands. Sunday was busy trying to fix my vehicle, meal prep, and still have time to relax, which was very minimal at the end of the day. I woke up this morning feeling like I didn't get a weekend or time to recover despite having a 3 day weekend. Unfortunately, this week is my full 5 day week so it'll be challenging to stay focused but at least the routine will keep me honest with my goals and habits. Gym this morning and the warmer temps have brought along more folks coming in to work out with it. I do wish them well but so many are rather rude and don't bother to clean up after themselves (like not re-racking weights or leaving the machines drenched in their sweat) so it's very hard to not be frustrated. I do wish them well and that they meet their health goals, but I can't help but wish them to be a little more considerate of us regulars who are being disrupted by the chaos. There are a few who are genuinely kind and thoughtful and I love that so much. Trying to keep in mind that I wasn't perfect when I first started going and had to learn the ropes (like where the wipes are to clean off machines and such). Hoping for a great week this week!
1/14 - Not much change. Coach upped my macros slightly yesterday so I had to cram an extra snack in to meet goals. I was 6oz shy of my 128oz/1 gallon goal which I'll take! Cold day (below freezing again) but managed to get out of my cozy bed for the gym. I struggled today - everything felt so much heavier and harder than normal. Got it done, though, and feel better for it. Breakfast is eaten with lunch and dinner pre-logged. I also went ahead and pre-logged a snack for this morning but I do have room for another. I need at least 9g more of fat and 50g of carbs to be within my 10g buffer. I'm exactly 10g under my protein goal so I can have 0-20g protein with my yet-undecided snack without breaking macros. We have a VFW monthly meeting tonight so it'll be a bit later night than normal. Hopefully not too much so. I haven't been sleeping well and feeling really groggy so I'd like to not have a sleep debt on top of it!
1/15 - I'll take it, especially since I didn't get near enough sleep last night. My watch says I barely hit 5 hours. Eek. We had our monthly meeting last night and BF is a chatty cathy - he manages to still spend an extra hour or two talking as he says his goodbyes. My 4:30am alarm came a little too quick. I managed to get up and I'm feeling okay except for an awful headache which my pain medication isn't touching. Hopefully it will fade. Meals logged for the day and water is next to me to be sipped on to meet my goal (I did yesterday!). Walk with dogs at lunch for steps. No matter what BF says, I'm going to bed early tonight. I'm barely keeping my face off my keyboard and cannot keep going like this.

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.

SW Rnd 284 135.5
1/11 134.5 134.5 Shopped at Sam’s yesterday. Lots of steps but tracker on wrist doesn’t count them. I really need to make a strap that will go around my ankle! Last night DH asked how I’m doing with sticking to my plan. I told him about the bump last round and that I’m not letting that set the tone. Down 5# since 1/1. No TMI x 2
1/12 135.5 I made rotisserie chicken yesterday for the first time in months and slaw for OMAD. Finally TMI after weighing and coffee.
1/13 134.5 Today is DD#2’s birthday. Going to the new Great Greek tonight. The grand opening is Wednesday. Tonight is friends and family. I will get a steak skewer. 27 days until cruise
1/14 136.0 Over indulged last night at GG Friends and Family opening. We’re going to miss Casey who promoted to this new location.
1/15 136.0 I expected this to be higher, I was 140.0 at bedtime. I felt stressed all afternoon. DH has NOT quit the HOA Board.
**Pizza, chips and ice cream sandwiches at bingo🤪🤪🤪
1/16 140.0 I was the same at bedtime last night. I know this is a result of the crazy carb load and limited TMI and my neighbor wants Asian buffet this afternoon.

SW 99.2kg

Day 1: 99.3
Day 2: 99.4
Day 3: 99.4
Day 4: 98.4 (happy dance)
Day 5: 98.7
Day 6: 98.6
Day 7: 98.2 (it actually said 98.1 when I first weighed and I got such a fright I did it again coz I thought I must have moved an arm

- 98.2 it is - still awesome)

Have been logging all food, trying to hit around 1700-1900 calories each day. Haven't been hitting the protein numbers my PT suggests though.

Have done 10k steps every day this week, but missed Wed workout coz of unexpected visitors and did a bad job of planning Thurs & didn't slot it in.

Thanks for everyone sharing their days, so interesting
