JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 18

tishawj

Hello Friends! Here we go again!!

SW - March 2017 - 182.4
GW - to maintain between 145-150- will try to hit 145 before adjusting to maintenance calories

9/29 - 148.4 - coming in from round 17

Round 18 ends on Canadian Thanksgiving...so to be honest I'll be thrilled if I can keep it under 150 at the end of the round

9/30 - 148.8 - I feel super crappy today...headache, scratchy throat, ache everywhere...we'll see how the day goes, if I feel like eating it will probably be comfort food but I'll try to be good. I had a long trail run planned this morning but that's out the window now...my dog is super disappointed LOL
10/1 - 149.0 - Woke up feeling no better today...if not worse. Ate hardly anything yesterday but also hardly moved, I'm so stiff and achey. Not going to worry about the weight too much until I feel better, my body is going to hold onto stuff as it kicks this bug to the curb.
10/2 - 149.0 - Diagnosis in...Strep infection. Lets see what this prescription does to my body besides kill the germies...
10/3 - 148.0 - Amazing how quickly antibiotics start to work. Feeling significantly better but still pretty weak and run down. I thing I sweated out a pound of water over night though while the fever broke...I was drenched!!

10/4 - 147.2 - that's what happens when you hardly eat anything for almost 4 days. Feeling so much better this morning and I seem to have my appetite back so we'll see if I can make this stick as my bod wants to re-fuel and repair.

9/30 - 226.2 Nothing I ate left me satisfied.
10/9

Insightful statement. It didn't satisfy since hunger wasn't the issue. TOM, family issues... It's really a big step and helpful when we recognize if we are eating for reasons other than true hunger.

@ehseeker You are right. I was angry, depressed and really frustrated with everything. Should have done what I really felt to do. Cry and move on. Instead I ate. Thank you.

@quiltingjaine It just seems that on average women lose weight 25 days for the month and the next 5-7 days we fight - to control hormones/fight carb overload urges/lethargy - you name it- whatever else - just to try not to gain what was lost. So not fair. Thank for the support.

Back again!I started midway through Round 2 at 153.9 on 4/29. Ended Round 17 at 140. I'm at roughly .5 a week loss. For this round I'd like to hit the 139's and stay in the 39's or below . Started at 162 something back in early March so I'm down over 22 pounds.

9/30 141.4 Guess who didn't exercise and who had cheesecake and wine for dinner? Going to an Oktoberfest to do today. Will be walking in fresh air.
10/1 140.8 Indulged some at a buffet yesterday but also walked around quite a bit. Today back on ellip or maybe some more walking.
10/2 140.6 Sooo tired yesterday, no exercise. Took long nap. Think it's the change of seasons, maybe allergies. gym today for sure.
10/3 140.8 Considering how I ate yesterday = reuben and caramel apple = happy with this number. Went to gym, did therapy/exercise. Today, maybe a walk in the park to enjoy this glorious weather. or ellip. Now to up exercise and get below 140.

10/4 141.6 It finally caught up. No exercise yesterday. Allergy med had me listless. Today, gym and making chicken veggie soup which always helps me eat clean and lose. Come on, 139! I'm calling to you!

Haven't gotten to the store for more fiber rich foods, I will do that soon.
10/4- 197.4- Woohoo! I stepped on the scale 3 times to be sure. Added more fiber, ate under calories & sodium. Dinner out yesterday, but still had plenty of calories left and made wise choices. (Salad bar, veggie soup, & fruit). Glad my husband chose that place, because my head was spinning about what is order at the other places her was naming.

Hi @Maybaby100 yes I've been watching your posts also .. I'm 5'6 I used to weight 133 lbs so I may be looking to get back there in the long term but I am waiting till I get closer to decide .. 140 just seems like a rounder number to aim for

9/30 - 223.6 - I have to get back on the ball with working out this week.
10/1 - 224.6 - I'm just having a rough run hovering within the same pound though so I guess that's not terrible.
10/2 - 225.6 - I HAVE to get back on the ball. Two weeks with little to no exercise and spotty tracking is catching up with me. Determined to get to the gym tonight and start getting everything back on track.
10/3 - 224.2 - Heading back in the right direction. Got to the gym and stayed in calories yesterday. Renewed motivation.
10/4 - 223.6 - Looks like things are under control again. Just have to keep working at it.

10/4 156.8 Planned my meals & did great, But ended up higher in calories, but not "binge bad". I got sick and have to eat more food with this antibiotic... Had to eat a very late meal after being at the clinic for over 2 hrs & then having to get the RX filled. So, I was surprised to be back down. I'll take it, though!

10/3 108.8 lbs What! So I have been limiting exercise to lose weight (yes that's right). Exercise increases my appetite. This week I am adding back lifting weights (which I love). The gain is not muscle (not yet) but more likely the water needed to increase my glycogen stores. My Calorie intake past 5 days = 1630. I should be able to recover if I stay consistent. Right?
10/4 107.8 - better but still over 1500 calories yesterday.

9/30 185.4 I'm so happy. I don't know if it'll last but for right now, I'm thrilled. I've been working so hard with tracking.
10/1 185.4 Staying strong.
10/2 186.4 I didn't drink a lot of water and ate out this weekend. I'm hoping for a whoosh soon.
10/3 185.6 I did better yesterday with the water. I just feel better when I drink it a lot. I'm so close to 20 lbs. gone, I can taste it!
10/4. 184.4 The good thing today: I lost 20.4! The bad thing: I threw up on the way to work today. So now I'm home with a fever and nausea. I'm hoping this is just a stomach bug.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/30 - 176.4. Nice drop! Yesterday I ate super clean and made sure to get my water in. I've had a cold, so I've hardly moved, though. I'm hoping to get a walk or hike in today. This is my first full 10 day challenge and I'm excited to be involved.

10/1 - 177.2 I ate clean again yesterday and went on a hike. I'm recovering from a cold, so I turned around sooner than I'd planned, but I still did 3 miles and managed over 11,000 steps for the day. I've started ignoring MFPs calories and going off my Fitbit. MFP routinely gives me almost 300 calories more than my fitbit says I should eat, so I'll play around with this and see what happens. I had 2 NSVs victory  - 1) I made a vegetarian dinner and really enjoyed it, and 2) I realized my weight would likely pop up today, and when it did, I didn't feel discouraged. This challenge is already helping me, thank you! Today I'm smoking tri-tips for dinner; portions may be an issue because they are delish!
10/2 - 177. Yay! I'm surprised after a nice dinner with wine last night, but my calories were spot on.
10/3 - 176.2. I was actually pretty hungry yesterday but tamed it with healthy foods.
10/4 - 176.2. Nothing major to report. Ate well, calories on target, and managed to go on a walk.

10/1195.6 I didn't track my food. I had pepperoni and cheese last night. Today is meal prep day so things should be much better. I will get to the gym also.

10/2 195.8 Well...that stinks.

10/3 195.7 I ate very good all day yesterday. I didn't move around a whole lot after a fall at work. Still a little sore today:( I have severe scoliosis so falls are not a good thing at all for me.

10/4 195.0 Yay! Feeling pretty good today. Pre-logged all my food except dinner. (Not sure what I am having yet) Off to a good start.

9/30 254.2 -- My new profile picture looks like Mitch McConnell. Snacked right past any deficit yesterday. Had too much salt. Sigh. Attitude adjustment needed.
10/1 255.2 -- Too much salt & “après diary” snacking. I must do further work on my head to overcome this tendency to eat late at night when no one’s watching. Who is watching anyway? This is some deep, psychological *kitten* this weight loss stuff.
10/2 254.6 -- Headed back down after the snack attack. Complete eating with supper and then don’t snack. That’s the ticket.
10/3 254.2 -- Back to where I started this challenge. Now let’s see if I can get back to the low weight of last round!

10/4 253.4 -- Did it. Back to the low weight of last round. Now let’s see how much more we can drop off before we get on the road on Saturday.

10/2 156.5 Another tragedy in Las Vegas. Saturday night 4 teens walking on the sidewalk were mowed down by a car passing where there was no lane. Now at 59 dead and 527 injured on The Strip. Pray for Las Vegas.
10/3 157 I did not stress eat although I was pretty upset all day. DH reminded me that I wanted a Greek salad so I did not have to deal with fixing leftovers. Went to my fave Greek place, ate half of my salad w/gyro meat and 1/4 pita. Did not drink even half of my Daily water!
10/4 156.5 Played 2 games of bocce last night with DH, BFF, and her man-friend. Gentle activity but activity all the same!
