Ten Days Round 285
1/21 - I've made it to the next round without loosing the thread. For me that's an accomplishment in itself.
My goals for the round were already simple. Life this week boarders on overwhelming. Cutting back on simple is the easiest way for me to complete this round.
My 3 Daily Challenges:
- Weigh
- Record meals
- Post this challenge
Best Wishes to Everyone!]

1/22 - ☑️Weigh ✔️Record ✅Post
Up a bit (0.4lbs), which is no surprise. I have been eating what's easy which tends to be inflammatory as well. As long as I tic these three boxes daily everything will fall back into place.
1/23 - ✔️ Check on all three challenge goals. The scale is up again by 0.2lbs. Variations are to be expected since I don't weigh at the same time and under the same conditions.
Wishing all of us success.

1/21 136.0 DH and I have been going to the gym together- 3 days a week - yesterday my legs were so sore I could hardly stand up. We aren’t doing anything crazy but I have hardly had any activity since covid. I’ve reinstated my eating plan and hope for some NEGATIVE progress (as in minus some ounces)!
1/22 135.5 Today we have appointments across town with the retina specialist
1/23 136.5 Perhaps due to dilation drops yesterday? I know I get a migraine like headache every time. Today we’re going to Jessie Rae’s BBQ. Taking widow neighbor.5 -

I gained 0.3 lbs avg last round. This would be okay with me if I were at maintenance weight. I am not! A long long way away.
My goal is to restart my journey using habits I know that work.

@desolate_angel I'm sorry about the ornament, and I think you're well within your rights to contact the seller. Disappointing that it doesn't look like your doggies when you commission art to look exactly like them. Having the colors match shouldn't really be that big of an ask for any artist.
@Chapter_3 love the habit tracker!
@UTMom81 good luck with the home clearing. Does not sound like a fun process at all.
@Skyleen75 haha, quite a revelation to realize your amount of movement decreases in the winter. Makes sense but hard to adjust to! What do you do in the spring and summer? Garden?
@swimbikerun_repeat sounds like a fun celebration but Mexican has that effect on me every time! Your gain isn't too much when accounting for water retention from the salt
@Slimmersixties hang in there! This seems like the season for overindulging.
@the_reflex how are you scoring your progress? What are the factors in your score?
I'll nip it in-the-butt, today. I should have gained a LOT more!3 -

Day, Weight, Comment
1/21 - DNW
1/22 - 167.2
1/23 - 166.6 - A nice drop after behaving for a couple days now. I'm very bloated lately so it's nice to see a little drop letting me know something is moving along in the body. Hopefully the rest of the bloating will soon follow along. Been meeting macros, over 100oz water, steps, and walking the dogs, despite the cold. I'm trying to keep positive that this is all working out and not being so down on it. I can't track TOM as accurately as before now that I'm not on the pill's schedule but my Samsung Health app estimates it in 6 days and my body temperature is approaching that similar pattern just before TOM arrives so that may have an impact as well. We shall see! Coach unfortunately has a stomach bug so our call to go over what my future will look like was cancelled. I'll have to reschedule when her calendar for February opens up since it's not showing any availability between now and the end of February. I also finally gave in and scheduled my dental appointment to get the loose filling fixed that has been absolutely terrorizing me for the past 2 or so months. Ugh, I hate being a responsible adult but I know once I get through the (seemingly) 10 million numbing shots it takes to fully numb me enough for filling work, I'll be thankful to have done it.

Previous Day's Comments1/21 - Snow day here in Texas - an area we don't typically get snow. BF's city office was closed so, despite the gym saying it was open, I decided not to risk it. I don't know if there's ice under the snow and with these hills and twisty-turn roads, I'm not willing to risk it. I slept on my shoulder wrong and can barely move my left arm and today was an upper day so it all works out well that I'd be missing the gym anyway to let my body rest and recover. Meals are prepped, fire in the fireplace. I'm working (WFH permanently) so after my meeting in a few minutes, I'll migrate to the living room to work with BF's company and a fire (: Sorry I missed the end of last round - I had forgotten our GodDaughter's Cheer Competition was this weekend so we were out of town. Her team, despite several absent members due to sickness, qualified to move forward in the competition!
1/22 - There was a small threat of ice overnight and below-freezing temps so I decided to play it safe by skipping the gym. I will need to do some kind of workout at home today to make up for it. Three days of missed workouts (plus the 2 days of the weekend) is simply too long. I'm glad, though, since our driveway still had ice on it which means some of the roads likely did, too, and it's very dark out when I head to the gym so very little warning of road conditions as I drive. I really dislike being off my routine - Monday was a holiday so I had no routine. Yesterday, with no gym and BF being home from work, I spent the day in the living room with the fireplace going with him. I got work done, but I didn't get a makeup workout in. Fortunately, I was able to sneak out when the wind died down at the warmest part of the day, just before dinner, for a walk with the dogs. It had been 2 days without walks, we all needed it. Today I'm doing a bit better with routine since I woke up with BF and started on my water intake. I'm right on schedule for where I'd normally be on a workout day - I'm really trying hard. I managed to hit my goal of over 100oz but missed my overall goal of a gallon (128oz) by a good margin. Today will be better. Lunch and dinner has been logged. I have 12g protein (+/-10g) and 48g carbs (+/- 10g) left. I'm within my fat buffer but I have 0-12g left to stay within my buffer for snacks. I can do this!

Hi, I'm Charissa.
Thank you, QuiltingJaine, for leading the charge in 2025!
So... I didn't finish 284 lower than what I started and I'm disappointed but I do have to give grace as there were a LOT of challenges thrown my way. But yes, I'm feeling a little defeated and this would be the time that I sort of forget to weigh for a few days...but I'm going to belly up to the scale and keep pushing through my choices good and bad. This is a life long journey!!!
Good Luck to everyone this round!

@desolate_angel ~ Great idea on the ornaments but sorry they didn't come out the way you anticipated. Hopefully the seller will be able to replace them.
@reshii_devi ~ You are SUCH a ray of sunshine. You are appreciated!!! Feel better.
@slimmersixties ~ I know you're not in a good place both mentally and physically but kudos to you for tracking and owning it. Do your best but don't beat yourself up... You'll be back to "normal" soon.
@skyleen75 ~ This hangs on my wall....

@deepwoodslady ~ I forget where you are located but YES it's been bone chilling cold. Today was a heat wave at 20 degrees . Nice drop on the scale even though it try to go the other way the next day. You got this!!
@desolate_angel ~ Great idea on the ornaments but sorry they didn't come out the way you anticipated. Hopefully the seller will be able to replace them.
@reshii_devi ~ You are SUCH a ray of sunshine. You are appreciated!!! Feel better.
@slimmersixties ~ I know you're not in a good place both mentally and physically but kudos to you for tracking and owning it. Do your best but don't beat yourself up... You'll be back to "normal" soon.
@skyleen75 ~ This hangs on my wall....

SW Rnd 285—153.4
1/21 153.4 New York City cost me 2.4 pounds, but it was worth every ounce! We had such a delightful time, and I felt great about the way I looked in the clothes I had purchased (or pulled out of my smaller clothes closet). THIS is the kind of “living” I’ve been working toward while losing weight. I was able to go hard all day with our son and oldest granddaughter (she’s 28), and thoroughly enjoyed all the activity. We did so much walking and were so tired when we hit the bed each night, but what an amazing city! Seeing Wicked on Broadway was…well, I truly don’t have words. I will include one picture here in which we weren’t bundled up in coats. This was taken at the Summit at One Vanderbilt, standing on a piece of glass, literally over the city. I ate WAY too many carbs, and it showed up on the scales this morning, but now I can work to get back on track and set a new “experiential” goal out there in the future. Today is my hubby’s 80th birthday, so it’s easy to feel like times like these might be limited. I’m so thankful we had this time together in celebration of his milestone birthday. Time to make the best of every single day!

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 285: 151.9 (68.9 kg)
1/21- 151.4 (68.7 kg) I bought a new pair of work pants last night. I had a couple pairs that were just far too baggy. I'm in a weird stage where my current size is slightly loose in the waist and has excess material in the thighs and butt that is not terribly flattering, but the next size down is still a bit too snug in the waist and thighs. I did find one pair that looked nice though.
1/22- 151.6 (68.8 kg) I had ordered custom painted ornaments as mementos of the two dogs we had, my old guy, Sam, we lost in 2022 at age 13, and Finn, whom we lost less than a month ago. They finally arrived today. I was so excited. They are cute but look like black and white versions of my brown and white GSPs. I cried. Held them in different light and against different backgrounds and decided they were an extremely dark brown. Sent pictures to my husband and sister. Husband says looks black, the seller knows it, have it redone. Sister said they looked blackish brown then black, but ultimately she settled on very dark brown. I can't even bring myself to message the seller tonight who seems like a very nice person and even accommodated my request for a double sided paint job (with a mutually agreed upon upcharge). I've been feeling a bit down this week, and what my rational brain tells me are minor things just feels like too much to deal with. But a good night's sleep usually brings a new day and new perspective.
1/23- 151.3 (68.6 kg) A new day today and I feel better. Messaged the artist for my ornaments and she's graciously redoing them in a lighter brown so they look like my pups. I went to my sister's house after work tonight, we grocery shopped for dinner together and I cooked while we hung out.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 285 (my 215th). 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 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 is to be under 140. 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 & a pound is my small BHAG for this round
• be happy because I feel that I have made the round count at the end
I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, it’s taken me 75 rounds to achieve target of 130 = back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.
Updated 20.08.24 – I met up with youngest DB, first time after his DP passed away at the way too early age of 46. DB lives a long way from us, we see him very infrequently & is very introvert, so not a sharer of info 😞. However, he finally opened up to me, it seems that his DPs bad health leading to heart failure followed by kidney, liver failure & then a massive stroke, was originally caused by heavy drinking. By the time he realised he was abusing his body and went teetotal, the damage was too late to reverse. He was on the list for a heart transplant, but his other organs gave up before one became available.
This has made me think about how I am abusing my body when I have binges with way too much sugar, fat & salt. I know I am a food addict. I'm going to try to think about this when I am tempted to overindulge, I need to start respecting my body more and think about whether I want to be in the best health I can be. My body has served me so well for 66 years, it deserves to be given the best chance to keep serving me well & I've been really lucky that life has not dealt me a raw health deal, so I must not jeopardize that luck.

SW Rnd 285 188.00lb
This round is a real challenge. I am away from my rv for 6 days. In a house with a kitchen full of things i normally don't touch or keep at home .... bread, cookies, nibbles, etc. Eating along with everyone else so i fit in and don't need "special" meals🙄🙄
1/21 188lb steps 6012 calories ❌️❌️
1/22 188lb steps 7004 calories ❌️❌️
2 days of awful eating! BUT just logging in here today has made me think! I will stop making excuses and control myself!
1/23 193.4lb steps 5881 calories❌️❌️
Fail! 3 days of awful eating! I just cannot stop eating ! No exercise and feel like a sloth
So depressing seeing how quick that scale goes up.
Everyday starts with good intentions🫤🫤

The worse day ever for my steps! But better on the calories! Home tomorrow and just 4 days left to try for a neutral weight round!

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.

1/21: DNW
Amazing how much our social activities revolve around food. Of course we had to fry up the fish we caught yesterday. But it wasn’t enough to feed everyone’s families in our group, so a trip to the store was in order to get some delicious Italian Sausage for the grill, and DW brought a pasta dish and others brought salad and bread. I am still full this morning. And yesterday was such a hot mess of eating, I didn’t log it. Shame on me.
The boat captain yesterday was fun. Since I was the one of the four of us who showed up in shorts and sandals for a rainy cold morning on the boat and the other three showed up in snowmobile suits (his words) I became the target of his jokes. I guess he thought I could take it. I could, and did with a little bit of dishing it back. He couldn’t remember my name so he called me Jimmy. It starts with J. This name might stick for a few days. Ha! Male pack-behavior at its finest in a steady rain.
Back to logging today.
1/22: DNW
Unexpected sunshine yesterday. I had a really good walk yesterday and some great beach time. Logged all the intake.
Back home, DW and I attend a “silver sneakers” kind of class at our gym. We just got an email (we have a group email) that a man in the class I only knew as Mike, passed away suddenly after a bout with the flu. He was two years my junior. Shocking reminder to make the best of every day.

Yesterday was full of landmines. Well, to be truthful they weren’t real landmines because I saw them and I stepped on them anyway.

1/24 174.0 Date night with DH tonight will require a fancy cocktail or two. We have VIP tickets to “a night of sin, salvation, filth, and firewater with a cast of notorious Sideshow and Burlesque talent”.
How’s that for something out of the ordinary???
I’m looking forward to putting on a little black dress and some lipstick. I feel like I spend a lot of time in sweat pants lately so a little shake up will be good for me.
I already did my Friday 5:30am boot camp. Now I’m heading off to lift some weights with my garage girls before a spa afternoon.
Today is a “treat yo’self day” and I’m going to embrace my inner hedonist because I’m worth it!
Remind me of this tomorrow when I’ve got a little hang over (two drinks and I feel it the next day) and all I want to do is nap and eat a cheeseburger!!!!9 -

1/22 Too cold 🥶 to brave the scale !!! Nope… our bathroom is so cold! I now personally understand “hyperphagia” I’ll officially start this round TODAY! [Currently it’s the coldest it’s ever been (my lifetime) in Louisiana!] 13° … my bones are NOT made for cold!
1/23 Still too 🥶 to weigh. Will hop on tomorrow. Below is my new tool “HabitKit.” Tracks my daily “habits”.
1/24 Good day. Met all measures. However, my body feels “off”. Really off. Perhaps dehydrated even with 80oz fluid. Thinking it’s the change of routine & 🥶🥶🥶. Will enjoy a challenging walk & 🏋️♀️today. 🎾returns tomorrow.
JGMTD - Posting an abbreviated version of my journey this round. Continuing to journal, habit track, reflect…. I hit 561 days of continuous tracking & holding over 40lbs lost since 2010. Want to breakthrough.

60+ Female using trend weight
I gained 0.3 lbs avg last round. This would be okay with me if I were at maintenance weight. I am not! A long long way away.
My goal is to restart my journey using habits I know that work.
🐸I will keep the analogy of boiling frog in my head🐸

Round 285
Jan 21 – 30, 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!

Day/Weight/Comment
1/21 – 138.0 so I totally deserved it. Was a stormy day so I did not walk. Still feeling too awkward to show up at the gym I paid for, Yesterday, I had a decent plan in place including attending a “party” yesterday evening. It was 6 PM, so we interpreted it as evening cocktails. We show up and there are a few appetizers including the one I brought, and DH an are think, this will be easy to control. Next thing you know, the hostess is announcing that “dinner is coming out soon’. What!!? She was serving a dinner to “Trump” foods. KFC chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, and other sides. She then finishes it off with a giant chocolate cake and cherry vanilla ice cream. She then sent us home with leftovers. This morning I overslept, missed my walk, and ate dip and chips with chocolate cake for breakfast. Confessions can be good. :P
1/22 – 138.4
1/23 – 138.6
1/24 – 137.6 Flying north for a week. Way to many social occasions while also trying to square away leaving for a week. We will have a pet sitter living in our home, so making sure the condo is ready for her, as well as what the boys need, AND my own confusing travel. Mom turned 88 yesterday, and DGS is turning 5 next Friday, so our trip home is to celebrate both occasions.
(going to catch up on reading posts at the airport. back to cleaning/packing)

@SModa61 let's just say he wasn't the picture of health. I don't know what was behind the picture.
@_JeffreyD_ Given he was in your class. Sounds like he was trying to turn things around. Very sad!3 -
