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.
2/15- 136.2 I actually had FUN last night. I have not danced since before COVID. Had a good day all around. Walked 5 miles. Was thoughtful regarding my diet (ate half the Filet and half the dessert). Found a comfortable cute outfit, and all evening. I think I really needed it. What a mood changer!
2/16- 136.2 Only two laps yesterday. We were hosting our widowed friend for dinner last night and had shopping, cooking and cleaning to do, and I figured the previous night’s dancing made up for it. I did pre-track my day, and ate fairly true to it (will explain). Had no cocktail, no meats/cheese/crackers before dinner, no wine with dinner. Ate my exact dinner. Had made an old weightwatcher trick for dessert (cake mix and diet soda, served with whipped toping). That is where I had and extra portion later in the night.
@Pezhed Yes, I do believe I really needed that fun night. Can’t remember when I just went out and had fun!!

* 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! Still, I’m so ready for the precipitation to stop for a bit.
2/14 150 📝 🥩 🏋🏼♀️🌟 10,319—Had a really good day yesterday. Had an appointment with an NP/nutritionist who did my second IN-Body scan. Since May when the first scan was done, I had lost 30 lbs of pure fat and had gained muscle mass. She and I were both very happy, and she said she rarely sees results like mine especially in ladies my age when we are typically losing muscle mass. She was thrilled with the log I’m keeping with all my nutrition results and the exercise that has become just part of my routine. It felt really good to have such a positive conversation! She’s perfectly fine with the weight loss being so slow. She said that will make it easier to sustain whenever I decide to level out. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
2/15 Out of Town—🌟 10,415 steps—did not track food. We had a wonderful Valentine’s Day celebration together with hubby. No scales.
2/16 150.2—4,168 steps--Yesterday was travel home and then rest day until time to go to DD's house to babysit the two grands while Mom and Dad went on a river cruise dinner. I'll be going to my parents' house today for several days to work on getting rid of their belongings and deciding on what I can't/don't want to get rid of. Not looking forward to this, but it has to be done. I don't know if Mom's scales still work, so this could be my last weight for this round.

02/16 DNW I got an awesome workout yesterday which definitely helped my mindset. Instead of beating myself up for struggling with my food addiction I embraced how strong and capable my body is.
Mentally that really helped. I am feeling a bit less frustrated with myself this morning even though I ate movie theater popcorn followed by tacos for dinner.
It’s a snowy, icy mess outside and I’m just waiting for the sun to come up to get things cleaned up.
I’m in a bit of a rough patch with eating. I’m really trying to not panic. I am a strong, healthy woman and a few pounds doesn’t change that. Spring will get here and I’ll go back to burning insane amounts of calories. I just can’t give up. I have to stay the course and just keep trying. This is a life time of eating disorders and now a lifetime of healing.7 -

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.

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.

Aaaaand there is the V-day-indulgence tattle tale. Not really too bad. We went out for a noon meal at “Jason’s Deli.” I am not sure how many of them there are, but it is a chain. They have a really good salad bar. All undone by the frozen pizza for supper. Lots of salt in the diet yesterday, even in the salad bar.
DW and I participated in a class at the gym yesterday that kind of kicked out butts. Sore muscles this morning, which feels really good actually.

This morning I woke up after celebrating DDIL birthday last night. I could feel dinner just sitting there up to my gullet and no TMI in recent memory. So rather than weigh “stuff” that wasn’t me, I skipped the scale this morning.
We ordered take-out from Texas Road House, DDIL choice, since the one year old DGD is a mess at restaurants right now. My ribeye steak could have been choice grade round steak for all I know. I consider it a crime. I had to saw it. That’s one way to eat less.
I think I’m a little prickly this morning. My attitude has nowhere to go but up.![:\](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")

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.

*************************************
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!!
2/13 🚫🏆 because ate a snack around 8:30PM which I never do… Cottage cheese / berries so 🚫IF. Kcals = 1350. Still, Pg = 130 🙌🏻 Another purposeful 🚶♀️@5PM to reach +10k. Good hydration. Solid day!Also, I’ve expanded my stretching/mobility/balancing routine… Love it! Today’s nutrition window will be 11am - 2:30PM. (OMAD). Today: 🏋️♀️and sauna. Onward!
2/14 I’m going to test myself again - three days / stay on plan 💯 & 🚫⚖️. Great workout yesterday… Almost two hrs lifting & stretching while streaming tennis - it was heaven. Three walks to total 10K+. Look what I woke up too?! I still can’t stop laughing! This is what I call true love & Support!!!!
Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Feeling ALL the feels right now!
2/15 I took a strenuous tennis lesson yesterday - only 🚶♀️6k for the day cuzz my afternoon was full. (“Excuse factory”) @UTMom81 — may I 🚶♀️ 12k steps today & Sunday to catch up?!?!?!!!! 🤩 i’m going to do that… to claim a soft victory!
Hubby and I had a wonderful Valentine’s Day celebration - went off nutrition a tad. That little bitty dark chocolate chip put me over 🤣🤣🤣… No guilt. (it was actually two servings of “cauliflower mash” that put me over!) Back today!
⚖️ & activities = actual day
🏆Nutrition (ALL: IF, cals, macros, Pg)🚶♀️10k, 💗Z2, 🏋️♀️25 min 5x. Onward!

*************
2/16 walked extra (14.5k) to avg out 2/14 over 10.5k for two days. Stopped @ community hospital and did their walking path built with outdoor PT stations. Each of the eight stations were set up for beginner/intermediate/advanced. What a workout! Perfect place to 🏋️♀️on the weekends/nice weather. Weekdays = too many cars/traffic/noise.
Nutrition/macros: stayed within maintenance but not enough protein. Carbs high with cauliflower mash. (And of course, the associated payback (stomach issues). Back to my routine WOE today… For those who are unaware, I love all vegetables, but my body does NOT. String beans = my only friend. Refrigerator is temptation free again!
No TMI for several days. My weight is 💯connected to my systems. I’m finally beginning to accept my 1 to 2 pound daily fluctuation and to stop that guessing game of WHY?! Heck, if I have a bad day, I know why! It’s those days that I can’t explain it that deflate me. I have to continue to remind myself that the scale is not the star of my journey.
The last few weeks I can honestly say I’m returning to “food is fuel“… This is where I need to be: to feel, to believe, to act with determination & strength. I do not feel deprived. It’s a radical change in mindset from 18 months ago.It’s loving /honoring my body through fuel & movement that brings me the greatest satisfaction and sense of accomplishment. Staying present & filled with gratitude is key.
Onward!

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…

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.
2/13 - 124.4. Deserved gain. I didn't go too crazy yesterday but I also didn't track. Today I need to work harder to stay on track and write down what I put in my mouth. Leftover cake isn't helping any! DH is helping make fairly short work of it but there was a lot left. The kids have another snow day, mostly due to power outages all over town. Thanking our lucky stars that we have power this morning as many of my friends don't. Hoping the warmer temperatures melt most of the ice before the wind picks up this afternoon. February is a popular ice time! My youngest was born during a similar ice storm on February 18, 2021. I got on the treadmill this morning before DH went to work and will be momming for most of the rest of the day. We haven't left the house since Monday so I think we'll go on an exciting outing to the grocery store after I do some meal planning. Stay warm everyone!
2/14 - 124.2 🏃🏻♀️ (3.3 miles). Happy Valentine's Day everyone! DH and I don't really celebrate, but I celebrated all week by helping my kindergartener make cards for his class, which he won't get to distribute until Tuesday, because they have ANOTHER snow day today. Almost everything is melted after a 50-degree afternoon yesterday, but there are still power outages everywhere, including at some of the schools. Thankfully power was restored to my youngest's daycare center yesterday so he got to go today. It's much easier to only have an almost-six-year-old around. He has a friend over now so I'm going to go hide in the basement and do some strength training and running while I have a chance (and while they destroy every bedroom and the living room LOL).
2/15 - 124.0 🏃🏻♀️(2.2 miles) 🏋🏻♀️ DH did end up bringing chocolates for Valentine’s Day and I indulged in some of it. I don’t think I went too far over calories plus exercise calories though. I made a Greek salmon sheet pan dinner that was delicious. Today I’m planning to do a longer treadmill run (thanks rain) and strength train glutes/legs/core. Have a great Saturday everyone!
2/16 - 122.2 🏃🏻♀️ (4.5 miles) 🏋🏻♀️ Surprised to see such a loss and not trusting it. I didn’t exactly make the best food choices yesterday, so I’m not counting on this loss sticking. We had friends over for dinner which was lovely after being pent up all week, though their youngest child and my youngest were being absolute hellions by the time we sat down to eat. It’s amazing what qualifies as a good time when you’re a parent of young children hahaha. I’m taking a recovery day today but I’m going to walk the dogs this morning before the wind picks up. The ground is absolutely soaked after the snow and ice this week plus 1.5”+ of rain yesterday. It has been chaotic around here all week. All the small creeks in the area flooded badly yesterday while some people were still without power from the ice storm. We hear from family that our town has been featured on the weather channel a lot the past week! So all this to say I’m not interested in being near any trees when we have a wind advisory later today!

@CamandJarvis thanks for sharing your plan! I am planning to go into bulk cycle once I finally get my body fat down to a good starting point. It’s inspiring to see you successfully doing it! Keep up the good work!
I'm glad my experiences have been helpful in any way. I wish you the absolute best of luck. It's hard, for sure, especially mentally, but I know you're dedicated and will do amazing!!3 -
You don't have to be perfect, you just have to be better than you were before

2/16 - DNW - Yesterday was up due to a heavy dinner. It was within macros but was still heavy. Yesterday was an absolute mess when it came to food. I didn't have a proper breakfast or lunch and dinner was out. There was some drinks involved since some friends came up for the wife's birthday (Monday) and we were out and about. Water was also not ideal. The goal today is to be more sensible with both eating and water intake. No alcohol if we do go out is my aim. Tomorrow marks my last week with coach so I need to make the most of it!

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.
2/12 - 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.
2/13 - I'm not quite sure. I hit my water goal of 100oz or more, was right on macro goals, and hit my step goal for the day. Bodies are weird. I do feel a bit bloated so there's something I ate that is causing this. Oh well, trusting the process and it'll all work out eventually. Gym this morning went well and food is all planned out for the day. I work tomorrow but I'll need to figure out breakfast, lunch, and dinner to hit my goals and ensure the Man has a good homemade meal to eat when he gets home. I'll have to pre-plan that tonight. Still need to sit down and plan out next week's meals as much as possible so the Man and I can discuss in the evening to get a grocery list together for Saturday morning. Hopefully I'll have some motivation after work today to do so.
2/14 - Bouncy bouncy. This is okay. I was very diligent about hitting all my goals yesterday. I very nearly missed my water goal but I fortunately realized I had mistracked and was able to get those last 20oz down in a timely manner before bed. Today I've decided that shrimp "alfredo" (the Italian version with only butter and parmigiano reggiano with pasta and a bit of pasta water) sounded delightful. I've logged that and my breakfast already so I know where I stand for lunch, when the time comes. Nothing sounded quite right so I knew I'd have to figure it out when I began to feel a bit hungry. I have my boundaries set and it won't be too hard to fit within them. There is plenty enough room in the macro budget. An afternoon snack may be a bit more challenging to fit in, but I daresay I'll manage, as I have the last few weeks. Gym was good and another week stronger! Only one more week on this workout plan before I change it up with my new plan I have written out. I need to figure out what app will be best for me to track for progression (or rather, to avoid going backwards too awful much). I have tentative dinners for next week planned so just need BF's input on breakfast and lunch staples he's thinking and final approval on dinner ideas. I'll take it! Much better than last minute planning and missing ingredients because I was doing too many things at once

Ten Days Round 287
I've made it through a full round. Yay Me! Round 286 ended at 149.2lbs, down 3.0lbs for the round. I'm hoping this downward trend continues.
My goals are the same until the habit sticks.
Daily I will weigh myself; record everything I eat & drink; and post to stay mindful of good habits.
It will be hard to keep up over the coming ten days. Some days I'll have no scale but I can still record and post. Eating out always creates guess work.
"No mercy and no excuses!"
A woman with long term weight loss success posted this to a message board I once visited daily. Words to live by!
- I'll use what ever scale is available.
- I'll do my best to record accurately.
- I'll post even if I can't weigh, and/ or heaven forbid I fail to record everything.
Wishing SUCCESS to us all! 🙂

2/10 - Up 0.8lbs, well within my three pounds fluctuation zone. What irks me is leaving the 140s in the wrong direction. Humph 😤
2/11 - Ugh, up another 2.0.lbs. My fluctuation zone is under threat because I'm retaining water. Too many carbs and not enough protein.
2/12 - I've been analog for a few days.
Logging in was not possible but I managed my tasks the old fashioned way.
Weigh: Last weigh in carried forward. No scale available. ✓
Record: No online access. Written manually and input when possible. ✓
Post: No online access. Written manually and input when possible. ✓
2/13 - Day 2 analog but I managed once again. This is where I usually lose track and disappear. I'm using a simple solution to stay on task.
Weigh: I much prefer the last weigh in carried forward. This 6lb increase was measured on the doctor's scale in full Winter dress down to over the knee boots with block heels. Weight of 158lbs I rebuke you! ✓
Record: No online access. Written manually and input when possible. ✓
Post: No online access. Written manually and input when possible. ✓
2/14 - I may have found a system to stay up to date when I can't access my apps at will. This occurs too often to treat as something irregular. It's about time I make these periods normal.
* Weigh: No scale available. I REBUKE this number but it serves as a place holder. ✓
* Record: Still semi analog but I'm updating online as often as possible. Immediate recording preferred. Pre recording is best. Pen and paper or a note taking app still gets it done. ✓
* Post: Done ✓
2/15 - Somehow I'm going to complete my daily challenge goals using what's available. It will take time before I can say "I got this." with confidence.
* Weigh: No scale available. I rebuke one-five-eight again! This is a place holder with a number I reject. Admitted fact: the number on the scale rules my world.
It's completely illogical but I'm certain the scale at my doctor's office has it in for me. 😉 My highest weight is always recorded there. ✓
* Record: Almost sorta done ?-✓-? I found a couple mistakes in my tracking. The last two days need correction. There's no point in doing this if I'm not going to get right.
* Post: Done ✓
Open Accountability 😒 Feels good when I do well. Annoys me when I have to admit mistakes and failures. 😏 Like it or not, somehow it works for me.

02/15-193.8-(Trend Weight: 194.6)- This is a nice drop on the scale probably brought about by good TMI and Lasix results which I couldn’t take until about 5:30 pm (so I was up & down all night!) My diet was less than stellar yesterday. Too much dinner, too many snacks. I’ll tackle all the challenges again today as I hunker down in this snowstorm. 7 more inches expected by tomorrow evening. I’ll help shovel again today but WILL NOT use that as an excuse for not getting back on that exercise bike. I can do it!!!! May birthday goal: T-minus 1.9 lbs gone with 8.1 lbs to go.
02/16-194.4-(Trend Weight: 194.7)- Okay, well now I’m just frustrated with myself. Last night (looking back) does feel like self-sabotage and emotional eating big-time. I could have done much better. I was so good during mealtimes! Why would I need snacks immediately following a nice sized healthy dinner every night? Especially when I don’t eat until around 8:00 pm or 8:30? I call them “snacks” but what I’m really doing (apparently) is insisting on some sort of dessert. It’s a habit that needs to be broken. My “snack” needs to be hours after a meal, between meals etc. Knowledge is power and this is the first time I’ve really seen it for what it is. I’ll be working on that now! I got stuck in the snow at my DD’s house this afternoon and had to be shoveled out. We got the 7 inches more they were predicting. We are expecting even more today and tomorrow too. No one knows where to put all the snow. We are all out of room but it’s beautiful. T-minus 1 lb with 9 lbs to go.

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🐸

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!
Sat 15. 61.9 trend ⬇️. That’s better especially considering the extra calories from yesterday’s celebrations. No more alcohol this round!
Sun 16 62.3 🙁 trend ⬆️ 🙁 Not the number I was expecting or wanting!

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.
2/14- 146.1 (66.3 kg) Within calories today. I'm starting to learn I need to eat smaller portions of heavy dinners. Calorie wise, the lasagna I had slotted into my goals nicely, but similar to my burger a couple weeks ago, my stomach feels uncomfortably full after the fact. Also, I woke up feeling ike I have a minor cold, so my energy is sapped. Good excuse to sleep in tomorrow.
2/15- 145.8 (66.1) I had the excuse to sleep in, but woke up when my husband did at 6 AM and couldn't fall back asleep. I did lay in bed until 8 though and did absolutely nothing productive today, which is kind of nice.
2/16- 146.1 (66.3 kg) Where did the weekend go?

🎷 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 wagon 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.

I am the driver in my life & not the passenger, I need to drive my life to a healthy life.
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.

2/10 140.8 (trend 142) 6.22 miles walked. DH drove us for just over 2 hours to the coast, had a good few hours there walking along the prom. had a jacket potato with baked beans & cheese before driving home, it was good to see the sea & taste the salty air 😊.

Fighting my way back to maintenance after an indulgent summer and a 6 week trip to the States!

SW for 287 185.2lb 3.2lb to Goal
2/10 185.2lb➡️ Steps10,875✅️ Calories✅️
Expecting a hard round, from experience these last 3 lbs are hard to shift!
2/11 184.6lb⬇️ Steps11,160 ✅️ Calories✅️
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!!
2/12 185.2lb⬆️ Steps11,160 ✅️ Calories✅️
No idea where that came from!
2/13 187.2lb⬆️ Steps3,036❌️ Calories❌️
Demotivated after a .6lb gain .... So i decided to have a day off! 200 calories over maintenance, 7,000 steps under target. And there is the price! 2lb
It will now take me 3 days to get rid of it!🤣
2/14 186.8lb⬇️Steps12,530✅️ Calories✅️
No more pity party! Straight back on it.
For anyone wondering how i gained 2lb with 200 calories the answer is carbs! I eat a low carb diet and had loads that day! So it's just water!
2/15 185.8lb⬇️.Steps14,506✅️ Calories✅️
Isn't it strange how water weight goes on instantly then takes 4 days to come off! Anyone got any tips for losing carb water faster?
2/16 184.6lb⬇️ Steps10,204✅️ Calories✅️
Carb water all gone. That leaves 3 weigh ins for more loss to turn up!
I love this group, everyone is so committed and supportive and that is so motivating!
2/17 183.2lb⬇️ Steps12,412✅️ Calories✅️
This round has been a real lesson in ignoring the scales going up 2.6lb and not letting it throw me off plan. I knew it was just carb water, so kept going with the plan and here we are 4 days later the carb water has gone and I've dropped another 1.4lb
Loss so far this round 2lb with 2 days to go 😀😀 1.2lb to goal weight
