GOALS with KEY*Track everything and maintain my spreadsheet! 📝
* At least 8000 (👣) steps each day, but hopefully over 10,000 (🌟) at least 3 times during the round
* Strength training 3 times per round. 🏋🏼♀️
* 90+ grams of protein each day. 🥩
*Walking goal: 112 miles in February (4 miles/day)
SW Rnd 287—150.4
2/10 150 📝🥩🌟 12,063 steps—Took River for his longest walk to date. He’s turning into a wonderful walking buddy. I have to remember he's a growing pup, though, and not overdo it with him at his age. He loves to go, and it's getting harder to leave him behind. Guess I need to ask the vet what is ok for him to do at 5 months old.
2/11 150.4 📝🥩🌟 10,119 steps—Had company almost all day yesterday, so no walks happened until late in the day when I took both grandkids around the block (I let them run in big circles in the cul de sac, too—I had ulterior motives. LOL) So, I had to bust butt in the evening to get in my 10K steps. I almost talked myself out of doing them, but I’m glad I sucked it up and got it done with a Leslie Sansone Walk at Home video.
2/12 149.8 📝🥩🌟🏋🏼♀️10,869 Did a stint on the treadmill, then repeatedly up and down the gym stairs, followed by my class which is both strength and aerobic training. A good day!

Finally, back home where I can develop some sort of rhythm in my physical, mental and spiritual life. It’s hard for me when I am away from home.
The preceding message was brought to you by “Jeff’s Excuse Factory.” The real truth is that if I had developed a rhythm before leaving home, I could have maintained it through the oddball circumstances. I want to shut down the excuse factory now. It starts by recording that ridiculous number above for all to see. I am embarrassed.

This little bump down from yesterday is an indication that the damage is real, and the struggle will not be easy. I was expecting one of my patented water weight whooshes for an easy win. Nope. I can’t expect results after one day of discipline in the past seven weeks.
I am in the right place. My two inspirations right now are this group and tight-fitting clothes. Oh, and the mirror.
Yesterday I was a good boy, but here is the reality. At least twice I found myself standing in front of an open refrigerator without even knowing how I got there. Similar experience with the pantry door. It’s a habit that my body does on autopilot. I will break it.
I will get out and be more active today. I spent most of yesterday sorting mail and paying bills for my parents.

SW a day before.
2/12: 231.2
I did not get out and walk yesterday because what is worse than cold wind on your face while you battle a head cold? I have been sneezing and coughing for two days. I did unroll the yoga mat and did some floor exercises,
Snow coming today, so a little snow clearing for myself and a couple neighbors will add some activity to my day. I will try to remember to lift with my legs.:) Cold wind on the face is inevitable today, cough or no cough.
Speaking of legs, DW and I have just now started to feel normal after the cruise. For a few days we could feel “the boat” moving, even though we were standing on dry land 1000 miles from the sea. I can remember that feeling after fishing trips too. Strange,
BTW, no wonder I am under the weather after being packed into Noah’s ark with several thousand others.

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.4 -
@deepwoodslady : Donna, thanks so much for the encouraging words right when I need them most:-) I've long admired your tenacity as well- you chug along and never, ever give up- even with all your responsibilities and upheaval. I'm here because of you and all the long-timers who not only made me feel welcome, but have shown me how to keep at this every day4

@Slimmersixties : Thank you!! I agree, it's learning that it's every every day, not just lose it and binge! And I LOVE your refrigerator-they should be sold with those signs attached!3

But I am going down, finally...and the snow analogy holds because we got about 3" overnight and will be clearing our house and a neighbor's this morning. Happy February, all. I hate that groundhog.3 -

60+ Female using trend weight
I lost 0.6 lbs avg last round. I exceeded my goal of 3 times going to the gym per week. Unfortunately I just had surgery and am on an exercise ban for weights 2 weeks. I can get back on the treadmill slowly on the 17th. Sigh! I was doing well with my consistency. The thing that keeps me yo-yoing is I get going and then life seems to throw me a curveball and it takes me time to regroup and start again versus immediately.
🐸I will keep the analogy of boiling frog in my head🐸

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 9mo and a 1yr 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
7. Weekly deficit of 1300cals.
Helpful Reminders…it IS possible to achieve my goals. Sometimes it CAN just be that simple…

Gym: rest day
Wins: ended at a deficit yesterday.
Challenges: regular week day challenges. Puppy’s surgery was moved to next week due to his elbow showing more complications in the ct scan than anticipated. One elbow is fine, and the other elbow has dysplasia but also one of the growth plates in his wrist had closed so his bones are different lengths. They’ll need to cut his bone to get the lengths to match along with everything they were going to originally do. So now there will be screws and plates and casts involved. All that to say this week is the calm before the recovery storm.

Hi again, I'm Amanda! 5'2" 40F in Virginia.
RSW: 126.2
RGW: 124.0
Non-scale goals (tracked for prior day)
🏃🏻♀️ Run at least 20 miles
🏋🏻♀️ Strength train 5/10 days
2/10 - 126.4 🏋🏻♀️ Today is my 40th birthday! Great day to regroup after falling off at the end of last round (and gaining 2 pounds). We went out Friday night and I drank SIGNIFICANTLY too much alcohol. I suffered all weekend for it. So today is a perfect day to wipe the slate clean. Since the kids are in school/daycare today, I'm planning on doing 40 for 40:
- Bike 10 miles to the climbing gym
- Climb 10 routes
- Bike 10 miles home
- Run 5 miles
- Mountain bike 5 miles this afternoon with a friend
Dinner isn't going to be too crazy tonight but there will be cake
2/11 - 124.6 🏃🏻♀️ (6 miles). Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes!!! It was a great day. My 40 for 40 didn't quite work out once I found out the climbing gym didn't open until 3. Had to be home for the school bus by 4:25. I walked the dogs 2 miles, ran 6 miles, did a Peloton ride for 7 miles, then did a 15-mile road bike ride, totaling 30 miles, then a 10-minute stretch right before the bus came LOL. Ah well, it was a last-minute plan anyway. Today is a snow day for everyone so I'm unlikely to get more than a moment to myself. Happy Tuesday everyone!
2/12 - 123.6 🏋🏻♀️ Happy with today’s weight! Feel like I’m getting closer to where I was before the SF trip/birthday shenanigans. I have a head cold that gave me a bit of a fever overnight and is making breathing really challenging. The kids are home again from school since the town is now coated in ice. Today is a recovery day for me from working out and also this nuisance cold.

I have no goals for this round other than to weigh less at the end than I started. My average daily steps last year was 9,861 and I'm working to improve on that this year.My goal for the year is to average 10,000 steps per day. As of last night I was at 9,930 after a pretty low step count (for me) last weekend.

2/12 - 168.8 - Dropping off a bit more which I'm very happy about! I'm really working hard to meet my bulking macros without going overboard in the evenings. I've managed to figure out if I leave myself one snack after dinner (which has been easy since breakfast has been quite filling when combined and perfectly staggered with my coffee) I'm less likely to be emotional about it and can simply enjoy the snack guilt-free since it's already pre-logged. Fortunately this is the last week without BF for awhile so I think I'll be good to go in the future. All meals and snacks logged for today and gym done. Feeling pretty good.

Previous Day's Comments2/10 - I've finally broke into the 170s. I thought I'd never see this weight. I'm feeling rather bloated - I had forgotten to log a couple things and then remembered this morning which put me well over on protein yesterday but carbs and fats were aligned. Saturday was "date night" with BF but it was more of a 'linner' than lunch or dinner which is likely the biggest culprit for the scale weight being so high. I'm back on track today with meals and snacks planned to put me right on track with macros today. I'll pre-plan tomorrow's later this afternoon or evening so I know what I'm eating for the day when I wake up and make things easier on myself in that regards. Busy full week of work and gym every morning. It's overcast and rainy - supposed to storm tomorrow. Hoping to squeeze in walks with the dogs outside every day if if schedules work out for me.
2/11 - I wasn't quite perfect yesterday on macros but I was pretty dang close and it shows. I woke up this morning feeling really heavy and bloated. After a good workout and getting through the worst of that heaviness/bloating after eating breakfast, I'm feeling better. Not perfect, but I'm glad there's improvement. We'll see what the scale says tomorrow. I went ahead and created a new workout plan for myself to start when coaching ends since Coach allowed me to continue the current plan for the last 3 weeks with her (last week, this week, next week). I also started doing some research into where maintenance should be and what a cut might look like so that I can start planning that out next week to be prepared for when coaching ends (1 week from this coming Sunday). The goal this evening (as well as every evening going forward) is to stay busy/mentally occupied enough to ward off boredom/emotional eating. I think I'm struggling most with it because BF is gone. Even when he was working late nights and didn't get home until just before I was going to bed, I didn't find myself struggling so bad with it. I think I'm more trying to replace his absence with food where on late nights I know he'll be coming home so there's no need to "replace" him if that makes sense. Just some thoughts after still struggling with this the last 2 nights.

02/10-195.8-(Trend Weight: 194.2)-
02/11-194.8-(Trend Weight: 194.2)- Progress. It is deserved but not really Well Deserved. I continue to battle the sugar cravings and usually give in. However, meals were spot on.
02/12-195.6-(Trend Weight: 194.4)- Total full-on binge last night. Traveled today for reno supplies while out-of-town. Drove home midway during the snowstorm. 6” expected today and tonight in my area of Michigan. Other areas throughout the state are expecting up to 12” so perhaps I’ll call myself lucky? I expect tomorrow’s weight to be even worse than today’s after the travel. I may just skip weighing for one day on purpose. Some good news: I grocery shopped for ammunition while I was out! That should help me in the coming days as long as I watch my portions. I’m getting pretty famous for managing to overeat “diet”, “legal” and “approved” foods. All good things must come to an end!

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 287: 147.9 (67.1 kg)
2/10- 147.5 (66.9 kg) I feel like I'm reaching the point in my journey where the paper towel effect is really starting to set in. Sometimes I slip into being discouraged about how long it's taken me to get here, versus celebrating how far I've come.
2/11- 147.7 (67 kg)- We had the sirloin we picked up at Costco during the Superbowl for dinner last night. Tonight, Sister Act popped up as a suggested watch. Haven't seen it in years, so I'm settled in for a night of nostalgia.
2/12- 146.6 (66.5 kg) I know I didn't lose 1.1 pounds of fat overnight but nice to see a new low on the scale this morning. I had my biannual rheumatology check up this afternoon and even weighing with clothes on I was still under 150. The doctor remarked on my weight loss and after confirming it was intentional good weight loss was very happy for me. In fact, he had to reduce my medication dose because of it.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 287(my 216th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine.
So here we go again, I’m just keeping plugging away! New round, taking something forward from @Chapter_3 (yet 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 get back to 139s. 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! 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
• 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.

2/9 141.8 (trend 142.2) 8.66 miles walked. 2.8 pounds lost this round which sounds good, BUT, last round I gained 3, still not back to end of round 284 weight; so no congrats. due! Just got to keep going. At least I can say that I have had 10 solid days this round, need to do the same again next. I do feel that SW allows me way too many carbs, so I’m going to restrict these next round.

4 days of the same weight but a nice drop today! -.6lb. Just 2.6lb left to my maintenance goal but if it comes off reasonably easy i might drop my maintenance weight 2 or 3lb. Love to make it to the 170's, not been there since i was in my 20s!!

GOALS with KEY*Track everything and maintain my spreadsheet! 📝
* At least 8000 (👣) steps each day, but hopefully over 10,000 (🌟) at least 3 times during the round
* Strength training 3 times per round. 🏋🏼♀️
* 90+ grams of protein each day. 🥩
*Walking goal: 112 miles in February (4 miles/day)
SW Rnd 287—150.4
2/10 150 📝🥩🌟 12,063 steps—Took River for his longest walk to date. He’s turning into a wonderful walking buddy. I have to remember he's a growing pup, though, and not overdo it with him at his age. He loves to go, and it's getting harder to leave him behind. Guess I need to ask the vet what is ok for him to do at 5 months old.
2/11 150.4 📝🥩🌟 10,119 steps—Had company almost all day yesterday, so no walks happened until late in the day when I took both grandkids around the block (I let them run in big circles in the cul de sac, too—I had ulterior motives. LOL) So, I had to bust butt in the evening to get in my 10K steps. I almost talked myself out of doing them, but I’m glad I sucked it up and got it done with a Leslie Sansone Walk at Home video.
2/12 149.8 📝🥩🌟🏋🏼♀️10,869 steps—Did a stint on the treadmill, then repeatedly up and down the gym stairs, followed by my class which is both strength and aerobic training. A good day!
2/13 151 📝 🌟 10,061 steps—This uptick was likely salt at dinner last night. I ordered grilled shrimp and scallops, but they were SO salty I didn’t finish them which made me not meet my protein goal either yesterday, so no steak in my goals emojis today. Got in a Body Groove session and a Walk at Home session, then just walking the big circle inside my home to finish the 10K steps. I started to complain about all this rain, but then I remembered that some of you may be dealing with ice and snow! Still, I’m so ready for the precipitation to stop for a bit.

@theslightedgeforever Hoping your surgery was minor and successful with quick healing! Happy Birthday!!!3

@pezhed Feel better. The "colds" that have gone around this winter have been tough and hold on seemingly forever. I hope yours is short-lived.
@Slimmersixties Those gains can be disheartening, but you got this. Just look at all your progress so far! Today is the day you get back in the saddle and get back on plan!
@desolate_angel Isn't it great when the doctor is impressed with your work? It's amazing how our bodies respond when we make our health a priority. I am totally off my blood pressure meds now due to weight loss.
@newmeat30 You've had some nice NSVs this week!4 -

02/13 175.4 Yikes!!! I ate a giant family share size of peanut m&ms while driving in the car. I have been the perpetrator of car binges many, many times but it’s been a long while since I’ve committed this crime.
In order to do this I had actually buy this giant bag of m&ms. I stopped to grab a water and the devil on my shoulder lifted up my arm and gleefully grabbed the biggest bag of m&ms I’d ever seen.
I had a bunch of errands so I drove around eating them by the handful. Almost like I was getting rid of the evidence. Like they didn’t count if they were in the car.
Other than that I had a great good day 😂. lol it’s like my food addiction is just determined to remind me that it’s never going away.
I’m annoyed about it but not feeling bad about myself, that’s a win!
Determined to make today a better day.

@theslightedgeforever: A belated Happy Birthday and hope your surgery recuperation is quick and comfortable! Those curve balls do keep coming, but you're still here keeping at it, so that's a win!3

2/13: So far, a very good round- and this is what seems to happen with my body. I'll be on track with my routine and for a whole round nothing happens, then there's a "whoosh".
The Valentine danger is coming, though- DD's house tomorrow evening and DP is cooking a special dinner for me Saturday. Note to self: MODERATION. Have a big salad first, and then a little of the other stuff.

Finally, back home where I can develop some sort of rhythm in my physical, mental and spiritual life. It’s hard for me when I am away from home.
The preceding message was brought to you by “Jeff’s Excuse Factory.” The real truth is that if I had developed a rhythm before leaving home, I could have maintained it through the oddball circumstances. I want to shut down the excuse factory now. It starts by recording that ridiculous number above for all to see. I am embarrassed.

This little bump down from yesterday is an indication that the damage is real, and the struggle will not be easy. I was expecting one of my patented water weight whooshes for an easy win. Nope. I can’t expect results after one day of discipline in the past seven weeks.
I am in the right place. My two inspirations right now are this group and tight-fitting clothes. Oh, and the mirror.
Yesterday I was a good boy, but here is the reality. At least twice I found myself standing in front of an open refrigerator without even knowing how I got there. Similar experience with the pantry door. It’s a habit that my body does on autopilot. I will break it.
I will get out and be more active today. I spent most of yesterday sorting mail and paying bills for my parents.
2/12: 231.2
I did not get out and walk yesterday because what is worse than cold wind on your face while you battle a head cold? I have been sneezing and coughing for two days. I did unroll the yoga mat and did some floor exercises,
Snow coming today, so a little snow clearing for myself and a couple neighbors will add some activity to my day. I will try to remember to lift with my legs.:) Cold wind on the face is inevitable today, cough or no cough.
Speaking of legs, DW and I have just now started to feel normal after the cruise. For a few days we could feel “the boat” moving, even though we were standing on dry land 1000 miles from the sea. I can remember that feeling after fishing trips too. Strange,
BTW, no wonder I am under the weather after being packed into Noah’s ark with several thousand others.

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.
