It has been a long time and I always loved these threads! Glad to see it's still going. I weigh wearing clothes, so daily weight will be a little all over the place but I'm aiming for trend down!

A little bit about me: I'm 33 years old, female, 160cm (5ft 2.5in) tall. I have a 2yo son who is so full of energy and keeps me eternally busy! I generally keep fit doing judo (although I have injured my knee right now). I have crohns and am currently working with my IBD team to try and get myself into remission (inflammation markers are down, but they are tweaking the medication to hopefully get it even lower).

6/10 - DNW
6/11 - 80.5kg - Difficult day yesterday, found out my fitbit hadn't been doing my heartrate for the last 2 days and so I hadn't got any extra cals for those days, which might explain why my in/out looked so marginal. And then I fixed it with an update, but then it ran out of battery and died, so I also didn't get any extra cals for yesterday either. Made poor breakfast choices (welshcakes, I love -em but they are not a healthy breakfast) but managed to not let it get away from me. Was desperate to eat all the chocolate after dinner, but settled for a single galaxy egg truffle that managed to tame the beast, so I'm counting that as a win. Had been an exhausting day somehow, so I ended up conking out in bed really early.
6/12 - 80.7kg - Woke up with pain in my neck, like I'd pulled a muscle or something (a recurring problem), so took it fairly easy yesterday. Did a yoga stretching routine and managed to roll away most of the pain. Didn't eat overly badly, but did have a glass of wine with lunch which was some pretty empty calories, but I'm not going to lie, I really enjoyed that glass of wine. Luckily, even though I was WFH I kept pretty active and so only ended up 12kcals over the target. NSV was putting some of my dinner into a tub because I was full!
6/13 - 80.2 - I mean, I don't deserve that, but I'll take it. Yesterday our office bought pizza for lunch, and I'm a sucker for pizza. I ate a lot of pizza. And then a trip to the pub. On the bright side I did have to hike across town so that added to my steps. And I was driving so I only had one drink, so all in all I still ended up under maintenance for the day. Neck still hurts so that's not great.
6/14 - 80.1
6/15 - 80.3
6/16 - 80.6 - Weekend catch up - Ooooooh boy. This was not a good weekend. Okay okay, so lets break it down quickly Friday: Wasn't very hungry after lunch at all; stayed under calories, just. Saturday: Went to a BBQ and pretty much grazed all afternoon, I logged as best as I could, but I'm sure I missed a lot out and then my friend has made brownies and blondies and she's such a good baker! Over calories. Likely over maintenance. Sunday: Better, but still not great. My activity was right down as I was feeling pretty fatigued. Eating was fine, I was over target, but below maintenance. Neck still hurts and did some more yoga and stretching yesterday. WFH today so I might walk around to the coffee shop to knuckle down and get some work done (and an excuse to get out of the house). Glad to be back on Monday where I might actually be able to be a little more consistent today, this weekend was out of routine and busy and that makes me worse at keeping myself in check. But I'm back and I'm not going to beat myself up, just got to keep truckin'.

*************************

6/10 traveling home today. I may not weigh tomorrow… I need a few days to hydrate & get back to routine. My brain won’t be able to handle the shock. Denial is best here. Expecting a disappointing #… need the mindset to build momentum & face the challenge! 

Had time to reflect the past week. 66 is NOT 56. Many thoughts to be distilled to a few basic priorities. 🚶‍♀️🏋️‍♂️💓🤸🏼🙆‍♀️💦. Excited for next steps. Morning routines = no negotiation. Using June & July to regroup & love on me. Lose 5lbs & gain muscle & mobility. Key relationships have been neglected too…. Mind. Body. Soul. Whole food as fuel. Ready… set… go!

6/11 under ✅ 1200 cals, P:E = 1.4. Listened to Huberman podcasts & will change up my daily routine- should improve my sleep when implemented. He is quite technical/ scientific. A big change is coffee 90 min after waking - after morning walk. 🏋️‍♂️late morning. Walking 20-30 min after each meal. 80/20 rule for strength & endurance. (Any form of exercise). What I’m most pleased about is committing to a new nuance to my routine to change it up, to improve sleep & thus quality of life/ decision making (discipline!).  Let’s give it a try!

6/12 ⚖️ 132.8lbs.  I can live with that- I guess. Push forward! cals <1200. PE= 1:1; 🥩120g. Really solid day yesterday! Thinking more bloat will drop today. 6/13 🚶‍♀️8k, good fuel. P:E 1.5. Solid day. Rain hindered walk. Worked around the house restoring order and calm (after trip, property sale & city hall). More today. 💪🏻. I have a challenge that when I wake before the sun comes up coffee is a non-negotiable … slept only 5.5 hrs last night - after a week of averaging 7.5 hrs. Sleep is key! As soon as the sun comes up, I’m ready to charge forward. 💦has been excellent! Today’s focus: 🚶‍♀️🏋️‍♂️⏱️

‼️3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣‼️Thinking about my personal JGMTD#300 mini-challenge w/i the challenge!  Honoring all the folks who have made this group worthwhile… A meaningful out-of-the-box commitment? Some kind of a PUSH! I want that…. Ready for ideas!

6/14 Fluctuations-impact from trip? Still carrying foreign foods… ? Let’s keep momentum! 

6/15 Went to an estate sale early and came home and felt off… Dizzy… Felt like my vertigo was returning, but never fully did so - took it easy all day. 1500 cals, ✅🥩P:E 1:1 Hoping for a better day! 

JGMTD#3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ & #7️⃣0️⃣?

Thinking of (1) 300 jumps (jump rope) (NEW) & 70 min or more of 💓Z2  for all 10 days (I usually get 60+ min most days but will shoot for ALL) AND…. Crush it 💪🏻in the kitchen! A big personal push for me! Prepping for the BHAG.

6/16 WHERE IS 5AM Carolyn?! We ate late last night & only slept 5 hrs. Looks like vacation ⚖️ gain is REAL! Will focus on hydration today. Baby Eleanor will arrive Thursday.  DGS Tucker will spend the night with us Wed & Thurs! Discipline. Just DO what you promised yourself….
ONWARD!! #discipline#mindbodysoul #HSF It’s all about mindset!

6/16: Friday night at my DD’s is always a sticky one; then dinner Saturday night with DP’s cousins at a fabulous Italian restaurant; then Father’s Day with DP’s kids, but stayed under calories for the day. Sodium diet-cide.

Back to basics today.

Round 299 (my round 1)

SW 202. (Heaviest 235+?, Want to weigh 140) 😊

My goal is to eat mostly made from scratch and avoid sugar and white flour.

6/11. 202

6/12. 202

6/13. 202

6/14. 204 what the heck? To be honest I have never weighed daily. Yesterday we had to go to town twice and I was not able to drink my water like normal. Today I’m back on that. 

6/15 200 Yay

6/16 200 yesterday I did cheat. Had a piece of apple pie for Fathers Day. And slightly went over calories. It seems that water is key to my weight loss.

6/14 - 166.6

6/15 - 166.5

6/16 - 168.0 - Despite my best efforts to pre-plan and stay on track, unexpected shifts and changes led to me overeating quite a bit. I did well on Saturday so I'm hoping this is just bloat (pizza was involved) and maybe some water weight since I was not actively tracking my water and, despite focusing on water intake, I know I didn't quite hit 100oz. I hope to drop this off relatively quickly and move on!

@deepwoodslady Hope DGS makes it home tomorrow!!! <3 I certainly can relate to eating all the remaining snacks. Been there, done that, way to often.

Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 299
June 10 - 19, 2025

SW: 127.0

6/10 – 127.2 This number implies that MAYBE somehow yesterday was real. Ending up doing a “feeding” day yesterday. Woke before 6 to hydrate for lab work. Got to the lab at 6:45 expecting a line, only to find out they open at 7:30. But hey, I was first in line, but no coat in the cold for 45 minutes. :P Ran nearby errands before heading home, so was uber hungry. Ate like 2/3 of my daily calories by noon, and did lots on Caramel cold brew M&M’s in the evening. Felt good to actually not be hungry in the evening. Tracked everything, and was 800+ cal over my deficit target number. Not sure what maintenance my number is, but it is higher than deficit (yes, I can figure that out :) ), so mathematical principles would say my surplus calories are some number less than 800 cal. Yes, I’m rambling this morning …….

Most lab  work came in. Was hoping for a little better. We’ll see what comes.

6/11- 128.8 Perfect day until 8 pm, then I went off the wall. Oh well. It is now 7:30 at night when I am finally posting. Today, so far, day was “good enough”. Hopefully the scale in the morning will show I have not done a full 1.8 lb damage I saw on the scale this morning.

6/12 – 129.8 Three days in a row. Posted at 7:30 last night, all was fine, then I did another bad evening. Gotta sort this out. I really did not want to step on the scale this morning because I knew what was coming, but avoiding the scale is the start of a snowball for me. Today will be good. Period. Call me out tomorrow if I report differently!!!

6/13 – 130.0 I was solidly under calories by evening (an absolute *kitten* show of a day), and amazingly was not hungry. Later in the evening, I was proud of myself for choosing a healthy treat of skinnygirl popcorn. Ate that, was great, still under on calories, and still not hungry, then I started again. Four nights in a row. Argh.

6/14 – 128.8 Yesterday was “better” but still not what it should be. Let see how much I can fix by the end of the round. Today is out for lunch with a friend, but it is seasons 52 which is thoughtful and informative on its calories. So theoretically I should be able to do an on target day. Tomorrow, father’s day, will be more challenging.

6/15 – 127.2 Not sure how this is possible. My hope for today was to get back down to 128.0ish as I figured my caloric overages for those 4 days likely added up to around 3200 kcal. Yes, my calories were good yesterday, but I have no idea how I am back this low. I need to be grateful and not sabotage it again. Today is going to be tricky due to attending a mid-day father’s day cookout at DD’s house. I’ll have to keep my “one plate” rule for the main meal, and be cautious with everything else.

6/16 – 129.6 Ouch. Channeled Britney Spears last night (Oops I did it again). It is now 8:01 PM and posting late. Can I not mess up this evening?

6/15 176.6
6/16 179.1

6/17 176.4 Belly dancing class shook off some of the bloat. I am thoroughly enjoying the body positivity in the room. I’m working on relaxing and not worrying if I’m getting things “right”. It’s very freeing.

Of course it’s raining again today. I’m going to try and really knock out a few house projects. Trying very hard to not be anxious about work, I’m very far behind at most of my properties.
Rain day at home could be a snack danger zone. Focused, 5am me is going to have to pull rank and keep myself in line today if I’m going to get myself right.

6/17 - DNW - Ooop, just completely forgot to weigh this morning. Anyway, yesterday, I was really hungry all day, went out to the coffee shop and also had some cake and it was totally worth it as I got loads of work done during that couple of hours. Built up a bunch of extra exercise calories yesterday so I actually ended up under calories for the day.
