    Backstory
    In 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 Challenges
    Goals
    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 Goals
    1. 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…

    F66, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean P:E (ProteinG> (Cg+Fg) A clean/whole food WOE- Track macros, all fitness and NSVs. I’ve had an unhealthy relationship with food my entire life.

    Mission: Continuously improve daily habits that strengthen a “Healthy, Strong & Fit” identity.
    #HSF 📣#bestshapeofmylife📣
    #helpfulhabits #agingyounger

    📣BHAG Restated: My FIRST BHAG was to hit 128xlbs on this #HSF journey and maintain a “+ or -“ 2lb range @128xlbs by 1/30/2025. I did not make it. Maybe I’ll reach it this round! I want a sustainable #HSF BHAG that’s achievable with hard work & determination.

    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

    👇🏻Feb Level Up (Down)
    *************************
    I pledge to prioritize each of these #HSF choices EVERY DAY of February:

    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. On this journey, I have made positive progress with family relationships. Won’t detail here, but it’s a challenge & but improving. Mind, body & spirit are connected. I won’t be fully content until this part of my life is healthy too.
    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 👏🏻🤩 (1/31/25 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… !
    14. I now love to read several times a week on habit formation, healthy aging, nutrition and movement.

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

    2/10 129.8 My personal goal is to FINISH my daily plan. Last round, I slacked (not nutrition🏆) but in completing my daily movement. This round, for 10 days, I WILL: 🚶‍♀️10k 💓60 min🏋️‍♀️25min (5x)! (And of course, nutrition)!
    While I do stretch every day, I am also implementing mobility, flexibility, balance… I’ve also implemented a daily (morning) six minute lymphatic massage as part of my daily “stretching” routine. It’s easy to do and has become another daily habit!

    Personally, I find that when I start the day with “self-care movement” and prayer, maintaining nutrition follows! Habits are “blocks” - can tell I’m building mine! (57 rounds in!)
    Good luck to everyone this round! #FINSH

    2/11. DNW Testing….Testing… Testing.
    Near perfect day yesterday. Opting to 🏋️‍♀️today with DGS. Finished 10k🚶‍♀️💓by walking 2 mi right before dinner - purposely getting it done!

    2/12 There goes that scale again, but it’s not owning my emotions this morning so I’m in a solid mental place. ✅ nutrition, kcal deficit, macros, movement. All systems go. Enjoyed a competitive tennis match yesterday. We didn’t pull out the W but we played some great tennis & had a blast. Even though I THINK I hydrate well on Tennis days, I still tend to drink not quite enough & dehydrate. It’s actually rarely quite enough on days similar to yesterday so I have to focus on hydration. Again, I didn’t quite 🚶‍♀️10k steps by 5PM so jumped out for a quick 30 minute walk to reach goal … 11k… DGS, DH and I enjoyed a group /family 🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️to top off the evening. Perfect day. Wide awake @ 3AM (yuck). But will make lemonade. Onward!!

    I just discovered that Apple Health has the ability to measure trend weights… it’s a very useful tool! (one month trend & six-month trend.) Not sure why the label says “none“… I love having useful tools in my toolbox! Hope this is of benefit to someone.

    Hi, I'm Charissa.

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

    287 was not the best. I had difficult time getting back to plan, water and exercise. Not sure if my body was still recooperating for if I just capitalized on the excuse.

    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!!

    2/10 - 231.2 ~ Day after Superbowl. I wasn't planning on making a lot of stuff but DH was disappointed, so I made a low-calorie chicken dip, but the bagel chips did me in, Guacamole (only ate a little), Ham rollups (ate more than I should have), bean dip (didn't eat) and he made chili (had a small bowl). oh, and there was breakfast of shrimp and grits in honor of a New Orleans Superbowl. Not a good calorie day but a fun day none-the-less. Oh, and I didn't even bother to track~ Owning it all and ready to crack down this week, even though I have a few events.

    @slimmersixties ~ yes, for some reason life has gotten a bit busy. It's good but, I 've got to figure something out. I have a GS birthday party Sunday, then nothing for a bit so hopefully I can focus then!

    @theslightedgeforever ~ Happy Belated Birthday!!

    @desolate_angel ~ Great feedback from your doctor! Less medication is always a good thing!

    @silistic ~ love your tracking system.

    Round 287
    Feb 10 - 19, 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

    2/10- 137.8 Yesterday, when I pre-track/pre-plan I make very different food choices. Yesterday, I actually ate one of those apples I purchased roughly 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately, I did get off track last night, and instead of eating my 150 super bowl popcorn, I ate 3 ounces of leftover cocktail party cheese…. This morning, I also managed to observe something that hopefully will motivate me. In my spoiler are my starting weights of every JGMTD rounds, two years ago on 2/10/23, I weighed 142.4, but in May that same year, I was between 125 and 128. If I can accomplish that, I will be thrilled. NOW, to start using my gym membership I purchased one month ago.

    2/11- 138.2 so the good and the bad from yesterday. I did my 3 laps ( 5 miles), but did not pre-track and ate very stupidly. The only dietary good news was that when I ironically became hungry at 10 PM, I did not eat. That hunger made me hope there would be no consequences for my earlier choices.

    Going out to dinner tonight. I know the restaurant, and can view the menu. I need to pre-track this day.

    2/12- 137.8 so yesterday went pretty well. I did plan and track, then the restaurant became a little complicated. We were being taken out as a “thank you” by condo neighbors and it was the first time they initiated socially. All but me, wanted us to have appetizers for the table. I did feel I should be polite, so I had one of each. I then cleverly, adjusted down my planned “entrée” to just a tuna tataki appetizer. It came covered in heaps of an Asian sauce. I did also do three laps in the morning. Still not braved the gym.

    2/13- 137.4 did my 5 miles. Tracked the full day and was below/met target calories. Posting a little later today. In the process I can report that the dress I ordered for valentines day event tomorrow night DOES NOT FIT. Same dress, same size, different color. Then I went shopping at one of our very few stores in Marathon. Well I faced the dressing room mirror. If that, and the dress not fitting does not motivate me, I am concerned. On the good side, I did find something the wear. :)

    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.
    2/13- 146.8 (66.6 kg) Husband's back home tonight. It's a travel heavy month for him. We don't celebrate Valentine's Day, but we did go out tonight and beat the crowds.

    My third round this year and hoping to build on progress made in the last round. Ended the last round on 62.1.

    Mon 10 62.1 👍 trend ⬇️ No loss today, actual weight and trend weight are the same
    Tue 11 62.1. Trend ⬇️. Same weight 3 days in a row but at least it’s not a gain. Trend is now ahead of the scale.
    Wed 12 61.8 😊. Trend ⬇️
    Thu 13 61.8 Trend ⬇️
    Fri 14 💕🍾💕. 62.3 😡. Trend ⬇️. I think yesterday’s meal was rather salty. Valentines meal and fizz tonight so not sure what tomorrow will bring!

    205.8 Ending weight RND 286

    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🐸

    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


    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.

    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.


    2/13: 230.6
    The easy ounces are sluffing off now. The real work will start soon.

    Nice to touch the 220’s again. Don’t know where I will be tomorrow after a special valentine’s dinner tonight. By special dinner I mean I am going to either make it or we are going out. 😊 When it comes to food prep my contribution is either breakfast or outdoor grilling or smoking. Rain/snow in the forecast for this evening, so we are having breakfast. HA! Another option might be chili. For some reason chili demolishes my progress. Is it salt? Calories? Nope, it’s portion control. I love chili.

    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.

    Round 287
    Feb 10 - 19, 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!

    SW: 138.2

    Day/Weight/Comment

    2/10- 137.8 Yesterday, when I pre-track/pre-plan I make very different food choices. Yesterday, I actually ate one of those apples I purchased roughly 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately, I did get off track last night, and instead of eating my 150 super bowl popcorn, I ate 3 ounces of leftover cocktail party cheese…. This morning, I also managed to observe something that hopefully will motivate me. In my spoiler are my starting weights of every JGMTD rounds, two years ago on 2/10/23, I weighed 142.4, but in May that same year, I was between 125 and 128. If I can accomplish that, I will be thrilled. NOW, to start using my gym membership I purchased one month ago.

    2/11- 138.2 so the good and the bad from yesterday. I did my 3 laps ( 5 miles), but did not pre-track and ate very stupidly. The only dietary good news was that when I ironically became hungry at 10 PM, I did not eat. That hunger made me hope there would be no consequences for my earlier choices.

    Going out to dinner tonight. I know the restaurant, and can view the menu. I need to pre-track this day.

    2/12- 137.8 so yesterday went pretty well. I did plan and track, then the restaurant became a little complicated. We were being taken out as a “thank you” by condo neighbors and it was the first time they initiated socially. All but me, wanted us to have appetizers for the table. I did feel I should be polite, so I had one of each. I then cleverly, adjusted down my planned “entrée” to just a tuna tataki appetizer. It came covered in heaps of an Asian sauce. I did also do three laps in the morning. Still not braved the gym.

    2/13- 137.4 did my 5 miles. Tracked the full day and was below/met target calories. Posting a little later today. In the process I can report that the dress I ordered for valentines day event tomorrow night DOES NOT FIT. Same dress, same size, different color. Then I went shopping at one of our very few stores in Marathon. Well I faced the dressing room mirror. If that, and the dress not fitting does not motivate me, I am concerned. On the good side, I did find something the wear. :)

    2/14- 136.6 Tracking was perfect yesterday. No walking as I had to meet with an online notary at 9 (still estate work) and had 22 pages to review that I received late. I don’t know which is going to impact me more, the dress that “normally” should fit, and did not, or trying on a “shaper” in the dressing room. At my lower weight, a shaper will just soften the ugly scar bumps from c-section and abdominal surgeries. Yesterday, it had more to deal with that it could not overcome. Ironic as my current weight is one that I would have killed to be at at other times in my life. Yes, I am whining.

    Anyhow, happy valentine’s day! I love @Chapter_3 ‘s chocolate serving!! We got invited to a dinner dance tonight. Need to be thoughtful with my daytime calories, and hopefully some dancing along with a morning walk, will counteract the rest.

    @quiltingjaine Don’t know if you will see this. Have a great time, but don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.. :P

    @Pezhed Better late than never…. Happy 40th birthday!

    @_JeffreyD_ Welcome back from your travels!

    @judefit1 I hope everything is ok regarding the family emergency!

    @slimmersixties I need that sign for my fridge. I do think that is me, far too often. And I also agree that , FOR ME, maintaining is harder than losing. I really should do the math sometime and put together an estimate of how many pounds I have lost over the years.

    @astroamy and @_jeffreyD_ I know it is days later, but hope you both are feeling better by now.

    I love seeing all the new faces who have come to the group, and it is wonderful to always see all my tried and true role models who are inspiration!

    2/14: happily trending down, but it's Friday again, so today I'll do extra time on the bike and eat a big salad before going to DD's. DP and I are celebrating Valentine's Day tomorrow; he's making dinner, I'm making dessert. The plan's in place to make it through without too much damage.

    That's the key for me: know where the potholes will be and figure out how to steer around them without popping a tire!
