JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 22

CynthiaByrne

ROUND 22 - Starting weight on Nov 9 was 185.6

11/9 - 185.6
11/10 - 184.8
11/11 - 185.0
11/12 - 187 .......Oops! Enjoyed my Saturday, a little too much
11/13 - 187.5.... Weekends are usually a bust for me
11/14 - 186.2....Better. Let's keep it going!
11/15 - 185.0.....Had a good couple of days! Heading in the right direction.
11/16 -
11/17 -
11/18 -


Round 21 was my first attempt and I learned a lot about my eating habits. I have no goal in mind for only 10 days. I will be happy with any loss after each round. My ultimate goal weight is 170. My main focus is PORTION CONTROL

Below is my progress from round 7 to 22, it is a 25lb difference. I felt quite good in the first picture because I'd lost over 30 pounds already. I wish I had taken lots of pictures when I started, I have a few I still can't share, it's hard. Regardless, this is 25lbs, this feels really good, this is my motivation to move on! (I should have wore a belt because there is a waist under that red shirt!)

You look beautiful! need some smaller clothes I think

Here we go again!!! Back in for round 22 (my round 20). I'm proof that this works...trust the process and the weight will come off. It's not all down...lots of ups along the way. This daily check in group has been a huge part of keeping me going. Many thanks to all of you who have been around for the long haul and welcome to the newbies in round 22, you're going to love it here!!

SW - 182.4 in March 2017
GW - 145 - hit this target a couple of rounds ago...now checking in daily as I figure out how to maintain this for the long term

There was an update on my Garmin app last week that has a rolling 7 day average on the home screen. I think that if I keep an eye on this to make sure the number stays in the 145 range I'll be golden!!

11/08 - 145.4 - coming in from round 21

Day/Weight/Comment
11/9: - 144.6 - had a great run yesterday and ate well (probably a bit under maintenance). Looks like we're getting snow tonight so that may have been my last trail run for a while, not sure I'll brave the bluffs in the snow. So I'll be heading to the basement for my workouts in the mean time...elliptical and kettlebells...
11/10: - 144.2 - Lots of steps in the showroom yesterday and a bit of a calorie deficit to give me a buffer for the weekend meals and cocktails. There are 3" of snow on the ground and it's -25C with the wind chill this morning so I put on my workout gear instead of my running gear when I got up this morning. The dog is going to be very disappointed...
11/11: - 144.6 - right where I expected.
11/12: - 146.6 - Wine and salty snacks...but not over 7000 calories worth...so this is mainly water retention. I should see it gone in the next couple of days with lots of water and watching the sodium.
11/13: - 147.2 - I did NOT do a great job of NOT shoving food in my face over the weekend. It's Monday...time to buckle down for a new week. 7 day rolling average is still in the 145's...need to make sure it stays there.
11/14: - 145.0 - Amazing what a low carb, low sodium day with lots of hydration can do to flush away the excess water retention.

11/15: - 142.6 - SAY WHAT!! So apparently a whoosh is possible even when not actively trying to lose more weight! I'm going to assume that I've still been eating at a deficit while trying to figure out my maintenance calories...and my salty boozy weekend masked what I actually lost. I'm less than half a pound away from 40lbs lost since March...more than I intended but I'll own it

11/15 - 149.2 didn’t hit the step goal yesterday (unfortunately just couldn’t fit it the walk after work due to obligations). And definitely need to lay off the salt (but taco chips are sooo good with my chilli on wintery days!) and increase the water intake. Doing pretty good with the calorie intake though so hopefully it will come.

11/9 138.8 Yay so happy with this. Off to gym after work again tonight!
11/10 139.4 Oh! I’ve been so good with my eating Didn’t go gym because of weather but did go on treadmill when I got home. Now to be good for the weekend hmmmmm
11/11 Totally forgot to weigh myself!!!
11/12 139.4 Stayed the same. Surprised after wine and chip shop chips last night.
11/13 139.4 Holding steady. Hope it gets moving, in the right direction, this week!
11/14 139.8 Ok I really need to get a hold of this. Been eating well so I know I’ve got to hit the gym more. Used to do kickboxing but haven’t for over a month due to injury. Put work pants on this morning that I’ve not worn for a year and they feel tight! Trying not to to be to depressed about that as that’s when I eat! What a rollercoaster this bloody weight thing is!!
11/15 138.6 OK so back to 138. Let’s hope it stays this time. Went to gym last night and it felt really good, my goal this week is to go at least 3 times!

11/9 - 193.8 Went to the gym for weights yesterday. At least it didn't go back up, maybe I've finally broke my 194 plateau.
11/10 - 193.6 Less salt yesterday. Hope I can keep some discipline over the weekend.
11/11 - 193.4 Avoided snacking most of the day, kind of proud of that. Usually my solo days off are a total snackfest.
11/12 - 193 I was hungry a lot yesterday. But I guess I did okay.
11/13 - 193 Food fair at the gardens yesterday, so surprised it didn't tick up but I'll take it.
11/14 - 192.6 I almost believe I'll see 189 by the end of November.

Back again! I started midway through Round 2 at 153.9 on 4/29. For this round I'd like to get below and stay below 140. Started at 162 something back in early March so I'm down over 20 pounds. I am aiming to reach goal of 132 before New Years. It's been verrry slow the last couple months plus I ended round 21 higher than I started. Need new incentive.

Day/Weight/Comment

11/9141.4 No sleep = no exercise yesterday. Today dance plus a senior yoga class. Come on!
11/10 141.8 Dance class and senior yoga yesterday. Feelin' good despite the weight gain from cherry pie someone gave me. Loved every bite, no regrets. today, pool class. I realized I've doing doing this bouncing around this weight ever since my youngest son moved back in with his little boy. I'm spending more time preparing food for them and not enough doing it for me. Need to focus more on my menu as well as theirs.
11/11 141 Can't explain this drop as I ate candy yesterday. But... I did go to gym and pool exercise. Felt so good. Today, elliptical and lunch out. The restaurant specializes in burgers and grilled cheese... I didn't pick it.
11/12 140.4 Yeah! Was tempted to get a sandwich but stuck with a salad and just one glass of wine... We went to an animal welfare fund raiser focused on wine. So happy with this number.
11/13 141 Did quite the workout at the gym yesterday, think muscles are retaining fluid as I ate clean.
11/14 141.6 Went to a 45 dance/exercise class. Got no idea where this number is from.

11/15 141.6 Same ole, same ole. Will be gone for a couple days. Wish me luck.

11/9- 150.26 Well that is a depressing way to start off this round. No time to dwell though, so I'll just keep chugging along and hope tomorrow is better.
11/10-150.7 Even more weight gain. So frustrating. Hopefully this doesn't become a trend.
11/11-149.6 So thankful to see the weight going back down. Hoping to fit in a walk today.
11/12---Was running late today so no weight. Managed 3.5 miles yesterday, but went out for drinks last night. Hoping tomorrow's weight isn't too cringe worthy. lol
11/13- 148.06 Checked the scale more than once to verify I wasn't seeing things. I am guessing this might go back up a bit since it was such a big drop. Managed 1.5 miles today, but still went over on calories by about 100.
11/14- 148.06 Two days in a row at this weight. Can't believe it. I truly thought yesterday was a mistake. I am down 15 lbs. since I started. I would love to make it to 20 by Christmas.
11/15-149.16 Weight went the wrong way today but still lower than the beginning of the week. I've been running errands this morning, which entailed lots of walking. I hope to get a measured walk in as well today.

11/14 158.2 Yikes! I'm going the wrong way! I dieted successfully yesterday, and got more exercise!!! Must be the buildup of the last few days............

I've decided that I am going to eat at maintenance for 2/7 days a week, which is why I am going to start using my average weight. I want to offset hormonal changes that occur when losing weight for extended periods of time that can make it harder to lose and maintain weight and I'm hoping to alleviate potential emotional stress of constantly being in a deficit. After two rounds of eating at maintenance for 2/7 days not only is my weight lower over the last two rounds, but it's been easier to eat at a deficit on the other days.

Day/Weight/Comment

11/9:--221.1. My trend is downward. Completed W4D2.
11/10:--220.6
11/11:--220.4 Maintenance day today. Going hiking today and later going out for dinner.
11/12:--221.3 Ate at maintenance yesterday. Temporary weight gain.
11/13:--222.8 Note to self, don't primarily eat sugary foods to get up to maintenance calories, your body will not be happy.
11/14:--222.2 I will take it. Had no power yesterday evening and ended up having to go out to eat an unplanned dinner which included unplanned extra calories and sodium.
11/15:--220.6 There goes the water weight.

ROUND 22 (first round for me)

Day/Weight/Comment
11/9 - 143.4 - (missed this day starting late) this plateau weigh has held 5 days
11/10 - 142.4 - may be dehydrated, great workout yesterday!
11/11 - 142.0 - under calorie goal yesterday and ran 25 minutes. Usually I don't get 2 days of loss after a plateau breaks
11/12 - 143.2 - I do bounce around. But also: I was super emotional last night about my daughter (who is not choosing to speak to us, heartbreak) and I overate; not over calories, but ate back all my exercise calories which I know is a bad habit.
11/13 - 143.4 - rebound continues, no worries. under calories easily yesterday, ran 42 minutes. I HAVE FAITH IN THE PROCESS (repeat as necessary)
11/14 - 142.2 - yep, bounce. under calories yesterday, planned for no workout.
11/15 - 140.8 - no workout yesterday planned, a trice over calories (unplanned) But this is how it goes, I know I will rebound from this REALLY NICE NUMBER but it sure is good to see.

11/9...........................196.4 after a week of ups and downs (mostly ups) this is a nice surprise.
11/10.........................196.2 after a sluggish morning yesterday, I got up and added about 6000 steps walking the dog. Yay! Hoping to keep on track and get to 195 this round.
11/11.........................195.8 stayed on track yesterday and drank lots of water.
11/12.........................197.2 indulged too much yesterday, and moved too little. also feel dehydrated, so I must have forgotten to drink enough water.
11/13.........................197.0 again, I did not drink enough water, and definitely did not move enough! Back on track today. Checking out fitness blender, after a MFP friend mentioned it in a post. Seems interesting!
11/14.........................195.8 I would like to dedicate this number to the copious amounts of water I drank yesterday, and the many steps I took over my goal.
11/15.........................195.2 I started doing Fitness Blender workouts yesterday, nothing too crazy, but it felt good to move.

SW 195 [joined MFP Nov 2015, lost 9.5# & got serious Jan 2017]
1st Goal 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
2nd Goal 145 = normal BMI
UGW Range 140 - 145

I weigh first thing in the morning when I get up. My scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Comments reflect prior day.

10/20/17: Oooh, I like this thread! I've been weighing myself daily since April, keeping track in MFP Food Notes, and logging my "official" weigh-ins on Saturdays. I've been amazed at how much my weight can fluctuate from day to day, depending on eating out or processed foods, adult beverages, net calories green or red, etc. Daily weigh-ins really help me see cause and effect with high sodium, too much sugar, etc. I don't get freaked now by a jump on the scale, since I know what I did to cause it, and what I can do to change it.

10/30: 166.0 Very sedentary day (church, visit parents & 3 hour round trip) following high carb day, no surprise. Fitbit 3,888 steps, 250+ steps 5/14 hours & 7 floors. At least I drank 12c water.
10/31: 165.0 Fitbit 13,521 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 hours & 48 floors and 12c water
11/01: 164.5 Fitbit 13,993 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 hours (boom) & 40 floors; 12c water
11/02: 164.0 Dog-walk day plus active evening: two loads of laundry, made large couscous salad, cooked triple batch cream of leek soup & baked lemon zucchini cake. Fitbit 16,109 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 hours & 42 floors; 13c water.
11/03: 165.0 Expected. Net calories red plus non-dog walk day plus shortened workday (fewer stairs breaks) plus inactive evening (busy-ness & stress of past 3 days took its toll). Fitbit 8,110 steps, 250+ steps 10/14 hours & 20 floors. 12c water.
11/04: 163.0 Wow, unexpected. Of course, net calories green, dog walk day & kept busy around the house after work. Fitbit 16,188 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 hours (boom) & 49 floors (plenty of stairs breaks at work plus home); 12c water.

11/06: 166.0 Ack! Can you say sodium? Not great eating all day but active. Then caved when hubby got out tortilla chips & salsa con queso in the evening. Usually I ignore his snacking, but he was sitting next to me on the couch. I will have to forbid snacking next to me in future. Net calories red > 500 and sodium > 4,600mg oh my! 10c water and Fitbit 15,573 steps, 250+ steps 9/14 hours & 20 floors. Will be drinking lots of water today.
11/07: 164.0 Better. Net calories red 12, sodium green & 15c water. Fitbit 14,887 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 hours (boom) & 41 floors.

11/11: 164.5 That's what happens after net calories -362 and super high sodium (smoked salmon & crackers w/ hubby). Walked dog 3.86 miles & yardwork prepping for winter. Fitbit 16,147 steps, 250+ steps 11/14 hours (day at home) & 35 floors. 14c water, need to keep that up today.
