JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 23

Calimackey

I’ve done a few of these challenges now and not managed to lose anything. On the plus side I’ve not put on either - so that’s a win for me. I’m going to really focus this time round. My goal will have to be maintenance because I’m away with friends next weekend. Here goes!

Good day. Met my goals. Won’t have much chance for excercise today so need to try to keep moving somehow - and drink more water

@cyrandra63 The ribs did it for me, too, at the weekend. Family favourite. Lol!

I HAVE the power and determination to do this.

Change in focus. In the normal range for my age height and build, on maintenance.

New Primary Goal - 160lbs +/- 2lbs.
I was ill most of Round 22, but achieved my goal.

Of course, losing a pound a Round would be ace, as I would like a cushion for celebrations.

to all the Newbies, and Hi to those returning for another Round. This has given me an element of daily accountability which is motivational.

Observations, and Previous Rounds

Many events along the way will scupper our best intentions, but they merely delay the achievement of our goals. Life is for living, and one must learn patience. It takes many years to put on excess weight, so It follows that it takes much time to remove, but it does come off, bit by stubborn bit! If you stick with it! The game continues!

A lot of people get upset by apparent weight gain when they have been working their butts off. Body weight fluctuates, both up, and down, from one day to the next depending on so many factors. From my experience:

• Changes often take several days to show on the scale.
• A drop is often followed by a bounce up before it settles back down. A general downward trend is the aim.
• A high sodium day usually results in a gain due to water retention, unless you drink extra fluids to flush it out.

Don't beat yourself up over a temporary gain. Trust the process and stick with the programme.
If you are making positive lifestyle changes it will lead to increased health and fitness.
Slow and steady leads to sustainable weight loss.
But remember to live a little along the way!

I'm in for my second round if that's ok

Round 22 start weight - 151.40
Round 23 start weight - 145.80

I'm aiming to finish this round about 143.50.......

Su 11/19 145.70 - only 0.1lb down but happy as its the weekend

Mo 11/20 145.80 - that 0.1lb has gone back on again but really happy as it means that I have effectively maintained over the weekend which is always a big thing! I know its wasn't fat gain but often used to "gain" 2-3 lb over a weekend so a good start for me for R23

18/11 - 194.2 - R22 showed a change in my hair loss, its stopped falling out,so yay!!!! .... so now I am looking, over the next few months, to see some new hair growth (she says hopefully) , as such I am happy if I simply don't gain weight at the moment, My cals are higher (over 1650 avg per day) , although not quite as high as maintenance, (1930 avg per day) so I should still lose (all be it very slowly) but I really don't mind how slow.

11/19 258.2 I have been stuck for awhile give or take a couple of pounds. Time to get the needle headed in the right direction again. The holidays are a concern because I typically put on about 10 from Thanksgiving to New years and I can't afford to do that anymore. My goal this year is to actually lose 5 during that span, now thats gonna be a challenge. Have a great round everyone.
11/20 257.1 yay getting ready for Thursday gotta get a couple off because I will gain them back on Turkey day.

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 but haven't lost in a couple of months. I am aiming to reach goal of 132 before New Years. It's been verrry slow the last couple months.

11/19 - 149.0 disappointed a bit with going up. I ate pretty well yesterday and beat my step goal AND didn’t even eat the chocolate truffle I was dying to eat last night! Oh well, I guess that’s the way it goes sometimes. Keep persisting.
11/20 - 148.4 honestly a bit surprised with this one. Kind of broke down and over ate with a burger last night.

As most of my fit friends know, I fell off the wagon. My motivation is not where it was and I don't care...I just gave up the last round I was part of. Trying to fake it and get it back - going to give this another shot.

11/19 - Didn't care

11/20 - 220.4 - Was really glad you were not in the middle of a round so I feel like this is still a fresh start. My goal is to check in again tomorrow.
