JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 24

TerriRichardson112

I HAVE the power and determination to do this.

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

Had a bit of a blip last round as I was ill.

New Primary Goal - 160lbs +/- 2lbs.

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 third round

Round 22 start weight - 151.40
Round 23 start weight - 145.80
Round 24 start weight - 147.60

I'm aiming to finish this round about 143.50.......
(Was my target for the last round but don't understand quite what went wrong! New round, new goals....)

Cheerleading showcase for my girls this weekend and out with my bestie Wednesday 6th for a meal and a catch up - other than that no major events planned where I'm not in total control. Meals are all planned, MFP is at the ready and my water bottle is at my side - so here we go .......................................

11/29 145.80 -down 1.80lbs so back to where I was on 20th November! Gym last night and plenty of water yesterday. 5.6lbs down in 21 days so not all bad. Good food day planned today so hopefully my end of round target is achievable.

11/30 145.30 down half a pound so almost back to my lowest from last round before THE chinese weekend! Lesson learnt though about how much just one evening off track and less water intake can affect weight.

11/29=222.1- I did this last round also...a big drop between Day 10 and Day 1. No loss last round, but there's a downward trend.
11/30=223.3- Had a great day with calories yesterday and pretty good with steps, but as long as I stay below the last round's average, I'm losing weight, so I'm happy. I like doing the averages; whoever started that on here, thanks! It helps to not panic over daily fluctuations, like with TrendWeight.

Starting this round on the right foot. Hopefully I can keep it going for the full round. I'm aiming for a few ounces each day. Then when I get weighed in at TOPS on Tuesday night, I will register a loss!

T1DCarnivoreRunner

My goal is to reach 10% body fat by year end... actually by 12/30 because that is when my Dexa is scheduled. I'm going to list weight and BF% based on my scale, which is going to fluctuate at times as diet changes. On some days - and I know when those are based on diet - it will be inaccurate.

Round 22:

Day - Weight - BF% - Comment
11/9 - 149.6 lbs. - 16.8% - scale is reading higher than actual BF%

11/10 - 148.4 lbs. - 15.9% - scale is still higher than actual BF%, but getting closer to actual

11/11 - 147.2 lbs. - 16.9% - scale is higher than actual BF%, this time not expected

11/12 - 148.6 - 16.8% - scale is still showing higher than actual BF%, still not entirely expected. I have a theory as to what is driving the incorrectly high BF%.

11/13 - 148.6 lbs. - 18.5% - Yesterday was a re-feed / glycogen replenishment day. I'm surprised weight did not also increase, but expected BF% to be unreliable. I expect it to remain that way for the next 2-3 days.

11/14 - 147.2 lbs. - 16.4% - Depending on whether I eat a lot of fibrous green vegetables today, BF% will either stay pretty stable by tomorrow morning or will decrease. I may find it hard to feel full without lettuce or green beans... but since scale BF% is just artificially high if I eat them and real BF% is not truly much different, I'm probably going to eat greens if I'm hungry anyway.

11/15 - 146.4 - 15.6% - No veg yesterday, scale is closer to a correct BF%.

11/16 - 146.2 lbs. - 14.9% - No veg yesterday again, and BF% is almost right where I would expect Dexa to come up. The idea that eating low carb green / fibrous veggies would affect the scale BF% so much is a relatively new revelation. Thinking back, the last Dexa was 0.3% lower than the scale on that same day (that is extremely close); and my scale is ALWAYS higher than any other measurement method or device - including other bio-electric impedance devices, which are always super low. When that last Dexa was taken and it was almost the same as the scale, I had not eaten plants for 45 days prior (except coffee, tea, and small quantities of seasonings and sauces). I still plan to eat some low carb (net carb) fibrous veggies while I continue to strive for 10% BF by 12/30, but will do take breaks occasionally to get a better idea of where Dexa will come in.

11/17 - 147.8 lbs. - 13.9% - Slight weight increase, not sure why... probably water weight. Another day without veg and BF% is spot on as close as I'm going to get to being real. Tomorrow is going to be high again based on today's planned diet.

11/18- 146.0 lbs. - 15.4% - Did not expect weight to decrease, but expected reported BF% to rise.

Round 23:

Day - Weight - BF% - Comment
11/19 - 145.8 lbs. - 13.5% - Did not expect BF% to drop this much this fast.

11/20 - 147.6 lbs. - 16.2% - Both increases were expected based on yesterday's food plan. Should see decrease over the next few days until Fri. morning, which will go back up again.

11/21 - 147.0 lbs. - 15.7% - Expected a small decrease. Expect another small decrease tomorrow.

11/22 - 146.6 lbs. - 15.3%

11/23 - 145.6 lbs. - 14.8% - Will be higher tomorrow.

11/24 - 147.2 lbs. - 14.4% - Did not expect BF to decrease, but maybe that is delayed...

11/25 - 145.8 lbs. - 15.2% - There is the delayed fat storage.

11/26 - 145.2 lbs. - 15.7% - Did not expect another rise in BF%, but I can only assume it is continued delayed fat build. Tomorrow will be higher probably of both weight and BF.

11/27 - 146.4 lbs. - 17.0% - Increases expected.

11/28 - 150.4 lbs. - 14.6% - Had a spontaneous free meal yesterday and paying for it with weight gain - meal itself was probably around 4-5 lbs., including water in food... so this is about right.

11/29 - 149.4 lbs. - 14.9% - For this round, I'm going to make a few changes. I'm not sure exactly what to expect at the beginning, but should have lower BF% by the end of the 10 days.

11/29 223.5. I know holiday time is hard, so I'm trying to be kind with myself. I'm verifying today as a new start. I need to get back on track. I'm going to start keeping track of my exercise here as well. I do it in my food log, but if I'm putting it out there, maybe I'll actually do it in a regular basis! I've promised myself a new hair do when I make my first weight goal, so let's do this!
11/30 223.5 Exercised for 10 mins. yesterday. It's a start. Today I'm shooting for 20 mins.
