    5'3, 37 years old. SAHM to 4 year old twins with disabilities.

    I don't know what's going on with my weight right now. It's steadily climbing, though I don't know why. 10 days to focus. 10 days to get it under control.

    9/28: 148.2. I did a long run in the morning, followed by a lazy rest of the day.

    9/29: 148.7. I had a couple of cupcakes for my birthday yesterday, but otherwise food wasn't too bad. I went for a walk at night to reach my step goal.

    9/30: 146.2. Food was mostly on track, went for a walk. Husband has been sick, I'm really hoping for a miracle so the boys and I don't it.

    10/1: 145.1. I'm so glad some of this stubborn bloat is starting to go away. I have no idea what caused it, but it was hanging on tight for a while. Meals were good yesterday, but snacking was a little crazy. A couple of walks, but no gym.

    10/2: 145.0

    10/3: 144.6. It's taking a bit of time, but the extra weight is slowly coming off. I've been mostly sticking to OMAD, with the exception of some munchies while I feed the kids dinner, that I'm trying to get under control.

    9/28-142-A bag of Halloween candy in my sewing room is one of the worst choices Iโ€™ve made lately. Definitely need to get back on track.
    9/30-141-I started taking my smoothie without me to Pickel ball in the mornings and that seems to help curb my appetite.

    Iโ€™m back, ready to go.ย 

    Goalsย for the rest of 2025

    • Eat mindfully. ๐ŸŽ
    • Regain regular exercise habit beyond gardening. Walk! ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ
    • Check in here daily. โœ๏ธ

    Weight end of last round โ€” R279, October 30, 2024โ€“ 194.9

    Date, Trend Weight, Comments

    09/28 โ€”ย 199.7
    Ok, up a wee bit, but thatโ€™s ok. Off we go!ย 

    09/29 โ€”ย 199.7
    Now I remember why I donโ€™t like weighing every day. ๐Ÿ˜Š I did stick to my calorie limit yesterday, and met my walking goal.ย 

    09/30 โ€”ย 199.4
    Another good day yesterday.ย 

    10/01 โ€”ย 198.7
    This is goodโ€”Iโ€™m feeling empowered to do something about these stupid pounds. My actual weigh in this morning was 197.2, which I wanted to post, but in the long run I know Iโ€™ll be happier posting my trend weights. I used to walk 5-8 miles almost every day but got out of the habit. Iโ€™m trying now to rebuild my walking muscle, and even just 3 days in, I see improvement. All good!ย 

    10/02 โ€”ย 198.7
    I had a little snack slide last nightโ€”thatโ€™s a backslide involving a snack. Not too bad calorie wise, but Iโ€™m trying to stop the late-night snack habit. I also skipped my walk due to horrible runny nose and watery eyes. Iโ€™m not sure if itโ€™s a bad allergy attack or a cold. Oh, well, Iโ€™ll get back with it today.ย 

    10/03 โ€”ย 198.6
    Still coughing and blowing yesterday, so I skipped my walk, but did do some garden work and ate responsibly. Creeping downward.

    I thought I posted this morning and then when I went to record my food, I realized I did not! Weโ€™ll get to that soon!

    @_JeffreyD_ sadly, I think thereโ€™s too many ingredients and chemicals in the protein powder. Unfortunately, the cleaner it is the more expensive it isโ€ฆ in our house, when we need to add protein to our every day intake, we use 100% grass fed New Zealand whey protein isolate (Antler Farms). It is in stock on Amazon right now but itโ€™s pricey. It has four ingredients which I can pronounce. I think itโ€™s about as clean as I can getโ€ฆ that Iโ€™m much prefer getting protein via whole foodsโ€ฆ (agree with @stephanj )But itโ€™s not always doable.

    @motheroftwins95 congrats on your consistency and staying with your plan! Keep it up!

    @Skyleen75 you know I just love your willingness to be honest and vulnerable. Gives me permission to be real about my stuff. I learn so much from your insights. I have no doubt your determination will arrive and lead. Find your โ€œwhyโ€ and REPEAT the mantra.

    I think Iโ€™m in the same place perhaps? The experience of good days and then, not so good days for who knows why?! . Itโ€™s just a matter of stringing a few together & staying on course. [Often for me, I simply FORGET. FORGET! I mean, how many YEARS does it take to actually remember? Apparently forever!] And then out of NOWHERE, Iโ€™ve eaten something that I couldโ€™ve chosen not to and then itโ€™s just too lateโ€ฆ

    Iโ€™m trying to SLOW DOWN with each choice because I never know when Iโ€™m going to be rushing & forgetโ€ฆ. Iโ€™m pretty much a CHILD with oppositional, defiance disorder (ODD) when it comes to my decision-making around food so I have to turn on my โ€œparentโ€œ often during the dayโ€ฆ itโ€™s not that Iโ€™m denying myself, itโ€™s that I have to re-focus on what I want mostโ€ฆ And it is a REAL ever-present mental tug-of-war every single day. Some days are better than others, but some type of mental gymnastics happens every.single.day. Iโ€™m learning that denying myself is ๐Ÿ’ฏ necessary and then, I immediately shift gears to my โ€œwhyโ€ - AND ITโ€™S LIKE, oh WOW, OF COURSE I DONโ€™T WANT THATโ€ฆ!!! And it is a serious, ginormous mental tug-of-war. This is who I am and itโ€™s a worm in my brain every day all day. I hope and pray that one day food will always be FUEL, but I know that would be a miracle. I pray every day for a miracle.

    I donโ€™t know if any of that made sense but maybe one person might benefit from this rambleโ€ฆ or may struggle like me, with this ever-present, silent, invisible extra-heavy baggage โ€ฆ

    soโ€ฆ its now Named & Claimed! Onward!!!

    Iโ€™m Amanda, 5โ€™2โ€ 40F in Appalachian Virginia.


    Non-scale goals (tracked for prior day):

    ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ Intentional movement 7/10 days

    ๐Ÿšซ No alcohol 7/10 days

    ๐Ÿ“ Track 5/10 days


    SW Rnd 310 - 132.0

    RGW - 129.6 (hoping Iโ€™m retaining some water but weโ€™ll see)


    9/28 - 131.6 ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธHave to work harder this round and act like Iโ€™m actually trying to get healthier. Yesterday I co-hosted a baby shower for a friend and of course overindulged, but it could have been worse. I made good choices for lunch at least to offset some of the damage. DH and DSs had an adventure last night. They were at a scout campout when there was storming and heavy rain. There was a flash flood warning and they all packed up in the dark and rain. Thankfully everyone was safe and home around 9!


    9/29 - 132.4 ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšซ Not pleased with this number. Today is going to have to be a tracking day for me, as closely as I can anyway. DH is doing the cooking tonight and Iโ€™m not off to the best start, but hopefully I can right the ship.ย 


    9/30 - 129.6 ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšซ๐Ÿ“ Very happy about this! Apparently thereโ€™s something to drinking all that water weโ€™re supposed to consume. Really moved things through the system. I also tracked for the first time in a while, and though I went over, knowing I was going to track it stopped me from being too excessive. The only issue I had is that I drank my water too late (or at least it unlocked my retained water too late) and I had to pee twice in the night. Will try to get it in earlier today. Iโ€™m off today and both kids are in school for the morning. Going to start by walking the dogs and figuring out with chores Iโ€™m going to do. Once I figure that out and lift weights it will be time to pick up the 4yo!ย 


    10/1 - 128.2 ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšซ๐Ÿ“ Pleasantly surprised with this number! Proud of myself for tracking two days in a row - an achievement I have not unlocked since I rejoined these challenges! Now to continue the trajectory. Iโ€™m subbing this morning so will have to neglect DS for a little while to get my strength training in this afternoon, but at least the workouts are short.ย 


    10/2 - 128.8 ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ“ Thatโ€™s a bit of correction from the low weight yesterday. All good!


    10/3 - 129.0 ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšซ๐Ÿ“ Being up a bit before heading into the weekend isnโ€™t ideal, but I guess Iโ€™m still below my RGW so it could be worse. Not totally sure why Iโ€™m up but Iโ€™ll just stay the course for now. I wound up having a really active day with a dog walk, weight training, e-biking my kid around, and then a K-pop Demon Hunters Peloton ride I couldnโ€™t resist! Going to the local universityโ€™s homecoming parade and out to dinner tonight and a birthday party tomorrow. Social weekend ahead! Gotta keep it together.ย

    9/28: 178.9 ๐Ÿ˜Iโ€™m pleased that Iโ€™m only +0.3lbs because we ate out lateโ€ฆplus I had steak! ๐Ÿ˜‹Today is tie-up-loose-ends dayโ€”TULE Day. ๐ŸคฃPlanning meals for the week is one of those tasks. Hmmmโ€ฆ

    9/29: 178.3 ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ“‰Not much movement yesterday due to a lot of planning.ย 

    9/30: 179.7 ๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿ“ˆLate night leftover lasagna for dinner. Need I say more? At least itโ€™s gone. No more left. What made it worse was that I had walked almost 2 mi and had a bunch of burned calories from gardening. Whatever. I know itโ€™s going to come back off. Tap class today. Iโ€™m going to tap my tootsies off!!!๐Ÿ’ƒ

    10/1: 179.4 ๐Ÿ“‰Should have been less, but at least itโ€™s down.ย 

    10/2: 180.0๐Ÿ“ˆ๐ŸคจYesterday was a non-stop day with late-night eating along with a cocktail. No doubt this is what Iโ€™m seeing on the scale.Fortunately, I exercised a lot that morning or it would have been much worse. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

    10/3: 179.4 ๐Ÿ“‰After a walk and lots of other stuff. With the exercise from yesterday, I expected more. Iโ€™m thinking my calories may have been more than I estimated. Itโ€™s so hard to figure nutritional values when you eat out and the restaurant doesnโ€™t give you any info. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

    On a good note: I made Chicken Cacciatore tonight with some chicken breasts I cooked up and have ready to go. I froze the rest so I always have something on hand. One of our go-to meals is to chop up chicken breast and douse with Frankโ€™s Red Hot sauce for a Buffalo wrap. I usually have all the other stuff to throw in the wrap. The next thing I did was make hummus with lentils instead of chickpeas. First time for that as well. We will have some dip for veggies now.

    @fermatamb7212 OMG I could eat a buffalo chicken salad or wrap every other day and be happy. Sometimes I do!! I use just plain full fat sour cream as my โ€œdressingโ€ so good.

    @jrago47 โ€œleveling downโ€ plays ridiculous Mario Brothers style video game music!!! Youโ€™re doing it!

    @Chapter_3 Truth! All of it. Iโ€™ve started calling it โ€œfood noiseโ€. The process of making good decisions is deafeningly loud.

    10/04 174.0 I knew it wouldnโ€™t all come off in one day. Busy day yesterday, finished by taking my young friend (24 years old with some developmental issues) to a really good haunted house and hayride. The corn maze was a fun way to get extra steps!

    Boat came out with no hiccups and I stayed chill the whole time. Keeping at bay the intrusive thoughts of the wheels just slipping and the boat pulling my whole work truck under water. Definitely didnโ€™t have any of those thoughtsโ€ฆ

    With effort I can end this round strong. Iโ€™m going to have to dig deep. We got this!

My hubby is out of town until Sunday night on a big bike weekend โ€ฆ Hoping to focus on re-centering and building positivity. Today: ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿคธ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ“–

    10/3 I had planned to do so much yesterday, but got lost inย ย โ€œinactionโ€. But oh, did I piddle! I havenโ€™t had a piddle day in so so long and it was glorious! At least I ran errands, groceries & stayed on track with fueling my body. Today will be different. Starting with a ๐ŸŽพ lesson, ๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ฃ. Happy weekend, everyone! #HSF, #MindBodySoulย

    5'3, 37 years old. SAHM to 4 year old twins with disabilities.

    I don't know what's going on with my weight right now. It's steadily climbing, though I don't know why. 10 days to focus. 10 days to get it under control.

    9/28: 148.2. I did a long run in the morning, followed by a lazy rest of the day.

    9/29: 148.7. I had a couple of cupcakes for my birthday yesterday, but otherwise food wasn't too bad. I went for a walk at night to reach my step goal.

    9/30: 146.2. Food was mostly on track, went for a walk. Husband has been sick, I'm really hoping for a miracle so the boys and I don't it.

    10/1: 145.1. I'm so glad some of this stubborn bloat is starting to go away. I have no idea what caused it, but it was hanging on tight for a while. Meals were good yesterday, but snacking was a little crazy. A couple of walks, but no gym.

    10/2: 145.0

    10/3: 144.6. It's taking a bit of time, but the extra weight is slowly coming off. I've been mostly sticking to OMAD, with the exception of some munchies while I feed the kids dinner, that I'm trying to get under control.

    10/4: 145.6. Welp. I really need to stay away from the crackers. It's hard not to munch on them since they are always around for the kids.

Haven't had a single recipe go wrong out of that cookbook, I swear! My husband would agree. Thankfully he eats whatever I put on the table so I can keep everything WW friendly! He's even losing weight by default haha.)

    10/03-184.2 โœ… (Trend Weight: 184.1) I woke up to loud buzzing coming from the back of my main refrigerator and the food in my freezer beginning to melt. The door was shut all the way so there is some sort of problem. Fridge seems okay so far but monitoring. It is somewhat โ€œfancyโ€ and expensive though not new. I donโ€™t need to spend $$$ on a new one right before this expensive dental work coming up, not to mention the Holidays! My son is an appliance repair person so Iโ€™m hoping he will fit me in his schedule soon. Fingers crossed it can be fixed! He does not live near me and he stays so busy because we are lacking almost all skilled trades in upper Michigan within 100 miles of me in all 4 directions. So frustrating!

    .

    Itโ€™s Friday! I decided to weigh anyway (although it is a late weigh-in) because one of my challenges has a week ending today and is thirsty for fresh numbers. I just donโ€™t know how accurate this is for comparison. It was a great dietary day yesterday although I took a rest day from intentional exercise. Today I need to get in some movement!

    ๐ŸŽƒ๐ŸŽƒ๐ŸŽƒ๐ŸŽƒ๐ŸŽƒ 10/04-186.0 โŒ (Trend Weight: 184.2) I had a pretty bad glucose drop yesterday. This can be common with a diabetic but it hasnโ€™t happened to me in a bit. Of course, I shoveled all food in sight quickly in for as long as it took to get my head above water and no longer be drowning. The instinct is Never To Sink. Afterward there is always the sadness and regret but itโ€™s too late. I had not waited too long to eat and my prior meal was enough and was good so I donโ€™t always understand. Only 3 more reporting days to the challenge and goal is to be less than I started. I donโ€™t know that I can meet or exceed that goal. It depends on how much of this is water retention, I suppose. However, I can still at least make a good dent in that goal if all goes well and I stick to my guns.

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    @SModa61 oh my, how my heart ached as I read that about your momโ€™s care (or lack thereof). Iโ€™m so sorry you had to find out in such a painful way ๐Ÿ’” I hope everyone responsible can get it sorted out and that never happens again!

    @deepwoodslady youโ€™ve had a tough week with a lot going on! Certainly give yourself grace; most important through a glucose drop is getting your blood sugar regulated. Your consistency here is inspiring!
