Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 35

SheilaBoneham

Daily goals: 1300 calories (1490 max on exercise days); P 20-25%, C 35-45%, F 30-45%
No weight goals - I can't control what I weigh, only what I do. But I hope to lose 1 lb. per 10 day round going forward, with breaks from restricted calories periodically, and to reach my probable goal of 130 by the end of the year.

Weight 2/2015 - 218
Lost 68#, regained 12 (to 156) on metabolism reset 11/16-6/17.

Day/Weight/Comment

3/19 - 149
Back on track - calories & macros good and I squeezed in a short but fast walk yesterday. I feel better already.

3/20 - 149
Lovely day yesterday, even though I splurged on a donut with my painting group. Today I'm off to train with this girl (she has a number of advanced obedience & other titles, 12 yrs old and still loves to train!). I can't think of a more fun way to get some exercise!

3/21 - 149
I went a little over calories yesterday - not much - but I was hungry and it was Siggi's yogurt. All good. Had lots of fun training with my Labby girl, Lily, and got a lot of other things done as well.

3/22 - 149
I remember hanging out at 149 a while ago. My body clearly thinks it's home. Not yet, baby! I'm going out for lunch with a friend, but I have my order planned, so all should be well.

3/23 - 150.4
Really? This has to be water - I had the best ever reuben for lunch yesterday (well, half - the other half is waiting for me in the fridge), but stayed within bounds (actually low) on total calories for the day. I didn't get enough water - running around all afternoon & evening - so hopefully this too shall pass. Sigh.

Round 32 start weight - 140.00
Round 33 start weight - 138.80
Round 34 start weight - 136.50
Round 35 start weight - 138.80

Loss to date - 12.60 lbs
Avg loss per round - 0.98lbs

R35 goal - under 136lb and to stay focused. Since getting under the magic 140lb I don't feel as focused - guess as my clothes all fit nicely and I do feel so much better in myself - but I do still want to lose a bit more weight and reduce my body fat % (I get a check in at the gym every month!) so need to refocus.

3/19 -143.20lb - same as I was last Monday - but not a surprise as out with friends Saturday, full Sunday roast and wasn't properly focused last week hence my round 35 goal to focus! Food all prepped, water bottle at my side and should make 12k steps today as walk planned for tonight...... Here we go

3/20 - 139.10lb - a 4.1lb "whoosh"! Great food day and plenty of water yesterday, 13k+ steps and feel SSOOOO much better! Whenever I go a bit "off piste" for a few days, I don't feel good for it in myself, my energy levels drop - makes me wonder why we ever do it and why it seems such a good idea at the time - guess this is the age old question eh ? Food prepped for tdoay, water bottle at my side and gym PT session tonight

3/21 - 138.40lb - down 0.70lb and still in the right direction Unexpectedly out for dinner with a friend tonight but already planned what I'll have so I will only be 150 calories over for the day. Will be carb heavier than my normal meals (its Pizza - albeit it a Pizza Express Leggera pizza!) but it shouldn't leave too much damage. Will have plenty of water today and hope the scales aren't up tomorrow morning!

3/22 - 138.10lb - down 0.30lb - I DID IT!! Went out for a pizza with a friend, stuck totally to my plan and still managed to record a loss today. This must be a turning point!!! All should be good today and tomorrow but next hurdle is the weekend - in London with my daughter on Saturday so we'll eat out and then the usual weekend distractions and the Sunday roast .........Hanging in there .....

3/23 - 138lb - only 0.1lb down but carb heavier (within calories) dinner last night than usual (home made burgers) and a tough weights session at the gym so all good ....

Round 8 for me (6 full rounds plus 3 days), and I'm getting smarter every day. I'm also kinder to myself, more reasonable, more forgiving, and just generally better. I think I'm going to track my calories forever, and I'm okay with that. I'm also going to continue to post here forever, too. Maybe I'll move to a maintenance thread, I guess, but I hope you get the picture. This group has been life-changing for me.

Age: 45
Height 5’11”
Historical SW (January 2015): 245 lbs
Recent SW: 220.0 lbs (1/14/18)
Ultimate GW: 195.0 lbs (and then reevaluate)
R28 SW = 220.0 EW = 219.8 (-0.2) AW = 220.2 (+0.2)
R29 SW = 219.8 EW = 214.0 (-5.8) AW = 215.9 (-4.3)
R30 SW = 214.0 EW = 214.0 (-0.0) AW = 214.1 (-1.8)
R31 SW = 214.0 EW = 209.2 (-4.8) AW = 211.3 (-2.8)
R32 SW = 209.2 EW = 209.6 (+0.4) AW = 208.9 (-2.4)
R33 SW = 209.6 EW = 207.4 (-2.2) AW = 208.2 (-0.7)
R34 SW = 207.4 EW = 206.6 (-0.8) AW = 206.6 (-1.6)

Total loss (before this round): 13.4 lbs
Average weight loss per round: 2.13 lbs

R35 SW = 206.6
Goal for this round: 203

Day/Weight/Comment

3/19 = 205.2 (-1.4). BOUNCE BACK™. I'm going to differentiate this loss with everyone's favorite rainbow unicorn, the WHOOSH™. I had a big gain on the last day of round 34 (2.2 lbs), and this is my body beginning to recover from that. I ate well yesterday, was under calories, drank plenty of water, and under on sodium. I have basketball tonight, which means a trip to the gym as well. Good start to this challenge!

3/20 = 204.6 (-0.6). Another BOUNCE BACK™. Good day at basketball yesterday, ate well, drank enough water, good on sodium. The sins of Sunday have been erased; it only took two days this time. I can pretty much predict my weight trend every night at this point based on my behavior during the day (thanks mostly to for tracking). I know a bunch of you have probably reached that point, but it's still pretty cool. Missed the gym last night, so I'll be lifting weights and doing HIIT tonight.

3/21 = 204.8 (+0.2). I felt a little out of control yesterday. Snacks were flying my way (some of them guided by my hand), and my wife bought me dinner (really hard to track), but I think I did okay. I was probably over a lot in salt, though (teriyaki is the devil). My wife was home early, so the gym didn't happen, either. The next stage in my development is motivating myself to get to the gym on non-basketball days (this upcoming Monday, for example). It's easy on basketball days, but mostly "miss" when basketball doesn't happen. I'm thinking of trying SL 5×5, but I need to make sure my knees can handle all the exercises before I get too excited.

3/22 = 203.8 (-1.0). And that's a WHOOSH™. Inching ever closer to onederland, I'm at an all-time low (since restarting MFP). Met all my eating goals yesterday, and snacked on fruit instead of crap last night. It's raining all day today, but it's basketball tonight. I will not miss it, nor will I miss lifting weights with my wife. Motorcycle life!

3/23 = 202.0 (-1.8). I had a really good night at basketball. It's relatively normal for me to have a good drop when I play. I ate within calories (didn't eat any of my 1250 exercise calories back), was over on sodium, and was a little light on water, at least for a basketball night. I have a really nice dinner out tonight; going to try to keep portions under control. I'm also trying not to get too excited, but ONEDERLAND is within reach. It will be my goal for next challenge.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/19 184.6 no comment, just tears. tomorrow will be a better day.

3/20 182.2 a bit better, but still stupidly high. Decided to do IF (5/2) for two days a week and see if that helps get me back on track with my habits. Our Spring break is in 10 days and I can't afford to buy new pants, lol.

3/21 178.8 I did my low cal day yesterday so I was expecting a good drop. That's almost 6 lbs of water weight in 2 days. Pretty crazy. I really think some of this is hormonal fluctuations and not drinking enough water. But today I am writing my plan and sticking to it. 9 days til our trip!

3/22 177.8 so not bad, feeling a bit more like myself. That was probably the end fo the water weight so maybe a real loss in the next few days. Low cal day again today, have my meals planned out and sticking to the plan. Lots of water today. We are having a cold snap, so I'm drinking it hot with lemon.

3/23 177.0 my low cal day yesterday went well, food tastes amazing when you are truly hungry, lol. today, just watching my portions and planning on a glass of wine tonight.

Round 35 Goal = UNCERTAIN. For the first time I am not sure. 5'7" 128.6 = 20.1 BMI. Time to maintain or recomp, but that's all hard and scary ....

3/19 - 128.6 - yesterday around maintenance calories, a few K extra low-impact steps, still not feeling great.
3/20 - 130.2 - yesterday over calories. Short walk at lunch. I have been over eating my goal for days now, emo over long term and seemingly unresolvable issues, and having a hard time pushing myself to work out. Have a social thing this evening, so struggling to balance it all when I just am not feeling it.
3/21 - 129.4 - yesterday just at calories for .5lb/wk loss, 20 minutes on the rower.
3/22 - 129.0 - yesterday under calories, lots of steps and a 2.5 mile run, first in a couple of weeks.

3/23 - 128.4 - yesterday under calories, 10K steps and some floors. Slowly easing back down from my over the weekend bump, in time for ... another weekend ...

Age 60, 5'4" and eating in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet. I eat back exercise calories, or I would be starving and cranky. Hubby does not like cranky me.

Back from Vacation and I think I am up 11 lbs. It should be a lot of water weight and if I get back on track I should be close to where I was in a 2 weeks or so. SO is still home so the first few days will go slow. Back at work with my packed lunch going in the correct direction.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/19 - 161.2 ... Ready to see those 5's again.
3/20 - 158.4 ... 14,940 steps and 1262 calories. Cutting calories for a few days. Happy to see a 5 again. SO might be working in town for the next month BUT will be harder to hold my calories and get my steps in.
3/21 - 156.6 ... 16,245 steps and 1280 calories.
3/22 - 155.7 ... 16,854 steps and 1382 calories. Nice after dinner walk.

3/23 - 155.4 ... 22,365 steps and 1861 calories. Walked home from work last night and did an after dinner walk. Also had part of a Starbucks Crystal Ball Frap, meh. A few chocolate Easter treats hanging around too. Said to SO if you're buying those we are walking the hills!!!

3/20 139.5 This is REAL!!! I am thrilled! 2.5# to my WW goal from 10 years ago.
3/21 140.0 Ate lots of salt! This is my crazy day of the month. Art Quilt group and community bingo dinner. No time to read everything but will try later. Love you all!
3/22 139.5 Bingo dinner last night was pizza and potato chips! No salad. WTH?? I ate the pepperoni and cheese from two slices and when I got home had broccoli and shrimp cocktail. After my dentist appointment I stopped and got Jimmy John’s Unwich for lunch. It was pretty good until I realized I was trying to eat my still numb lip!
3/23 139.5 My lip is not as bad as I thought it would be so color me happy! No food plans for today. Grandson is in Robotics competition at UNLV so will be over there this afternoon and probably tomorrow.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/19 152.2lbs, feeling bloated from over-indulging this weekend. Social drinks are my weakness.

3/20 150.2, feeling happier and more positive today. Trying intermittent fasting in 8 hour window.

3/21 151.2lbs feeling really disappointed in myself today. My impromptu date night dinner was incredible. But, honestly, sometimes I wish people in my life would support me more than they encourage and guilt me into drinking and going for dinners. Will power 0, Boyfriend 1.

3/22 148.2lbs Training for a 10km run in May. Last night was my biggest training run yet, 6km (3.75 miles). TBH, I nearly died, but I did not stop or walk at all. I ate healthy all day, didn't binge at night while I studied.

3/23 148.2lbs, feeling down today, can't shake it.

Back again! Hello everyone!! My motto this week is "write it before you bite it" as I haven't been super consistent logging my food lately.

SW - 182.4 - March 2017
Original GW - 145 - Smashed this in October 2017 and maintained around 143 until the winter blahs and my crazy freelance schedule got the better of me and I put a few back on.
New GW - 140 - really want to work on getting another 5-7 off from where I am now and committing to fitness so I can participate in some adventures with my boys over the summer...no more watching from the sidelines!!

3/18 - 147 - coming in from round 34

---

3/19 - 147.4 - weekend aftermath...blaming it on the beer. We were super active so I can only hope some of this is also muscle recovery as well.

3/20 - 146.4 - One year ago today....I started tracking my food and weight everyday with the intention of losing 20lbs before a big family vacation and then to keep going to lose a bit more before the summer. I've gone from barely squeezing into size 12 pants and covering my top with flowy XL shirts to not event hesitating to go to the size 8's and smalls and even bought a pair of size 6 jeans last week. I'm participating in sports and activities with my active kids instead of watching from the sidlines!! I'm very proud of myself...it's hasn't all been down...but I didn't let the upswings derail me. Weighing and checking in here everyday has made me very mindful of how my choices affect the scale and what those trends really mean in the long run. I still have some goals to achieve but if this chocolate/craft beer/wine loving mama can do it so can anyone!!



3/21 - 145.6- working it off...
3/22 - 144.6 - Wooot!! Under 145 again!!!
3/23 - 144.0 - Still coming off!! Hoping to get back down to 143 before we leave on vacation next week...if I can only keep the wine in control this weekend.

Losing 8 lbs in a month is 2 lbs/week ... that's HUGE, I wouldn't be surprised if pounds were a bit sticky for a bit after that. Age doesn't affect metabolism as much as we want to think it does. Muscle loss does affect metabolism. 61 here so do not be discouraged

Female, 5'4"
Starting Weight: 135 lbs
Goal Weight: 115 lbs - Met in late 2017

I met my goal weight in late 2017. My new goal now is to stay around 115 average. Lately I've been ranging around 109-111 lbs. Since switching to a whole food plant based diet, I can't seem to stop losing weight, despite reintroducing alcohol into my diet. It's about the seemingly unimportant decisions. But consistently making them everyday is what leads to success.

Goal This Round: Maintain 115 lbs Average

3/19 • 109 • Ran 3.5 miles & lifted weights. 1750 cal. 3 glasses of wine.
3/20 • 110 • Ran 3.5 miles & lifted weights. 1400 cal.
3/21 • 109 • Ran 3.5 miles & lifted weights. 1600 cal.
3/22 • 110 • Ran 3.5 miles yesterday. 1400 cal.

3/19 / ??? / No access to a scale this morning, or to the computer. I’m logging my food and keeping on.
3/20 / 271.6 / Working the plan. I can’t weigh in the morning reliably (watching two little ones) so this is after lunch, fully clothed for Alaskan weather.
3/21 / 269.0 / My mother just went to the hospital. I will log my food but I doubt I’ll have access to a scale for a couple of days.
3/22 / 268.0 / I had access. I’ll be at the hospital during visiting hours, and then back to my parent’s home to sleep.

True. But before that I was not watching what I ate at all except that I stopped eating much dairy as I've developed a problem with it. Just discouraging but I know this too shall pass. Why can't I automatically be the 130 that I was 25 years ago? LOL. (You don't need to answer that - I'm actually shooting for 145.)

Day/Weight/Comment
3/19 266.2 I have been gone for a few rounds and have really struggled lately. I have been gaining & losing the same three pounds for a couple of months. I think getting back into the 10 day challenge will me get moving in the right direction again.
3/20 264.4 Not surprised at the drop. I feel like I'm carrying a bunch of water wt and bloat. I fully expect to drop 5 lbs during this round which will put me where I should be prior to the last couple of weeks. I'm really focusing on eating lots of veggies and fruits and avoiding processed foods. I also walk 8 to 10,000 steps a day everyday; if I don't the scale really doesn't like me at all. This morning its a veggie omelette, green peppers, mushrooms, onion, maybe a little zucchini if I have some. Reinventing the wheel is hard but sometimes thats what it takes.
3/21 262.9 I figure I have another pound to go then the water wt will be off and it will get tougher to move the needle. Over 10,000 steps yesterday was a plus. I plan to eat light again today and should have another day or two of wt coming off.
3/22 263.9 wow was not expecting this, but just a minor set back. Onward!

@quiltingjainequiltingjaine - thank you! My macros are good I have been staying at about 6% carbs, 70% fat and the rest protein. I am wondering if I am not eating enough. I was pretty discouraged this morning when the scale went back up again. I am eating 1300 cals a day but can't exercise at the moment due to an injury. I will try to do better at ignoring my calories and just sticking with my macros. I love Keto and never feel hungry and that could be part of the issue. I wasn't going to post today but I will now...

Round 33 end weight 199

For this round shooting for 194
GW: 165

Day/Weight/Comment
3/19 - 199.2 - good start after being unable to workout all last challenge that would be why I skipped it. Goal is to drop another 4-5 this round so I can completely kiss the 200’s goodbye!
3/20 - 200.2 not sure I like weighing everyday. This one is frustrating. I haven’t been able to workout for over 10 days and still can’t. I guess I’ll have to cut back on more calories or do a better job drinking more water. Trying to keep my head up. I can do this!!!
3/21- 200.4 I’ve been staying under my calorie count my only challenge is I can’t workout for a couple of more days. This is pretty frustrating. I’m 5 weeks into my new Keto lifestyle and I thought the lbs would come off a bit easier at this point. Ho hum….
3/22- 198.6 - not sure I believe it since I drank last night. Stressful week and still can’t work out due to my ankle issues. I’ve been under in calories everyday. We will see if this holds I have my doubts.
3/23 - 199.0 - not thrilled about this and was not going to post but it helps to write it out. I can only hope that my body is adjusting. My clothes fit better than they have in months so I have to think I am losing more than my scale is letting on. I will keep my macros in check all weekend and keep plugging along. I’d really like to be in the low 190’s by middle of April but that might be a bit of a push.
