Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 35
Options
Replies
-
I'm a little frustrated, so yesterday (3/23) I calculated my average calories over the past 3 weeks. The result - 1548 - aligns precisely with my TDEE per the sailrabbit.com calculator, so I believe I am eating at my current TDEE and I am making 1548 my new daily goal. When I try to eat less than that, I wind up really hungry and go over the lower goal, so I am rethinking.
Then I read a slew of articles on BMR, TDEE, calories, healthy weight, and so on. As a result, I've concluded that, although I would like to lose a bit more, I am currently at a healthy weight and I feel good about myself, and I have revised my goals. When warmer weather arrives, I’ll be exercising more, and will no doubt lose a bit if my caloric intake remains steady. Most important is to live a healthy, active, conscious life, and that is my primary goal. No diet, no extremes, just healthful foods. I hope you don't mind my hanging in here as I maintain/lose a little.
Goals:
Weight ~~ maintain or lose slowly.
Food ~~ 1548 calories max (estimated TDEE); P 20-25%, C 35-45%, F 30-45%

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.
3/24 - 150.2
See revised intro - new goals, new attitude.
3/25 - 148.8
Of course! (See intro above.)
3/26 - 149.2
It's supposed to warm up a bit today so I'm hoping for a nice walk. Yesterday's wind was wicked.

Round 35
3/19 128.4 - 4 weeks until I leave for Cancun!
3/20 128.2 - going back in the right direction, trying to stay positive
3/21 128.2 - surprised with no loss after my diet, water, and increased activity level yesterday (my legs are actually sore) but I know I need to keep being good to my body and show patience...
3/22 127.8 -
almost back to my start from last round!
3/23 126.8 - I think my body is thanking me
3/24 126.8 - Stalling at the lowest I’ve ever been in 5 years (I hit this exact weight once during round 33) I think it might be my body’s new set point? I am just under 10lbs away from entering the bracket of “ideal weight” for my height. I NEED to end this weekend with no gain!
3/25 126.8 - ...what?
3/26 128.4 - Yesterday turned into a cheat day
portions were fine but I stopped tracking calories and snacked all day, water was lower than normal. Hoping strongly for a quick bounce back.

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.

3/20 - No weigh-in (out of town)
3/21 - 235.5
Sweet! I noticed that my legs are a bit thinner, so today I went and tried on some new cowgirl boots that I couldn’t fit my calves into a few months ago. And guess what? They fit!! My wallet definitely took a hit, but I’m counting it as a win!

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.
3/23 / 268.0 / Forgot my water bottle yesterday, way low on water. I have it today.
3/24 / 266.6 / Whoosh. Water, water, water.
3/25 / 267.0 / I was at the hospital all day and into the night, with surprisingly no good options for food. I ate before I left in the morning, and had fruit for lunch. By the time I got home, I was far, far, Far too hungry. My prepared food didn’t cut it. I ate bad stuff. I wasn’t horribly over calories, but salt? I might as well have just opened the Little Girl with Umbrella container. It has been horrible ups and downs with my mom in ICU, but I have also got to make sure my own basics are covered. Today, I’m going back to eat my prepared food for lunch. I’m going back to eat my prepared food for dinner.

March:
19: 214.2... I will not beat myself up about this. Instead, I'm looking at this as feedback about what currently isn't working. Hormones play a part in this journey in multiple ways, and cravings are a LOT more difficult to reign in the day or 2 leading up to TOM. So, I've been considering what I can do to adjust my regular eating style to allow for my regularly scheduled hormonal fluctuations during this time of month (and ovulation time). Eating at maintenance and cutting out IF for a couple of days is my new game plan. My goal is to prevent the munchie monster from going overboard, which is what happened last night. If I allow myself a bit of leeway, then I feel like I'll be less tempted to overdo it. Once TOM starts, I feel better going back to IF and calorie deficits.
20: 214.2...I prelogged most of my food today, so I'll know where I have wiggle room for PMS cravings.
21: 214.1
22: 211.3... Yesterday was the first day I ate below maintenance. I was still significantly over my goal calories though. Even though I recognize how my weight is affected by my cycle, it still blows my mind to drop about 3 pounds overnight when my food and exercise would not suggest that shift. Back to IF today.
23: 209.8!

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.

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.
3/24 = 204.8 (+2.8). Before I understood my pattern this would have been incredibly upsetting. It was a cheat meal. I did the best I could with it, and at least it wasn't 4.0 lbs (which had happened before!!!). It was tasty, salty, and fantastic, and I have only minor regrets (as I avoid these situations as much as possible). Basketball and the gym are happening this morning, and I have 4 days to work this off. Even if this challenge ended today I would be 1.8 lbs down, which is pretty great. I'm hopeful. Taking 80 ounces of water to basketball today.
3/25 = 204.8 (+/-0.0). Played basketball, ate back a little less than half my exercise calories. Went over my salt intake with dinner again (pizza, kale salad). I'm hoping to get back on track after the cheat meal two days ago, and that today's weigh-in (no drop after basketball) is an additional consequence. My brother-in-law (personal trainer) is going to teach me tonight proper form on the exercises I need to do SL 5×5. I'll be starting it this week while basketball is off for spring break.
3/26 = 204.4 (-0.4). My brother-in-law (not the personal trainer) asked my wife and I to be godparents for my newborn nephew last night, so i had a little unexpected celebration. I was below maintenance, but did not eat super healthy (high on sodium, again). I also forgot to fill my water bottle and take it with me at the beginning of the day, which made it really hard to keep up with my normal water intake. My brother-in-law the personal trainer flaked out on me regarding the heavy lifting help. I may hire a personal trainer short-term to make sure I'm doing things right. I may also just get started and hope for the best. We'll see. Tough weekend eating-wise.

Round 35
Goal for next few rounds: MAINTAIN weight
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 ...
3/24 - 129.2 - yesterday over calories, 10K steps and 20 floors though.
MAINTENANCE
3/25 - 128.6 - yesterday under calories, accidentally skipped a meal.
3/26 - 128.8 - yesterday at maintenance calories, very active around household getting ready for company, no workout.

@marcvb35 I’m glad to hear your wife is joining you on the journey. She needs to realize that, as a woman, she will not drop pounds like you did. My husband said yesterday that he “might” make some changes to his eating. Maybe he sees and likes the results of my eating Keto. Maybe it’s because I keep telling all of the positives about it and brain health. His mom had dementia and he realizes his memory is not what it used to be.
@tishawj How fun! A surprise vacay! I would have loved to do that for our girls but they were too nosy! One year they found the hidden Christmas presents-already wrapped-and looked inside to see what they were. Enjoy!!
@gen724 Boo on that instructor calling you out unless this was an actual military boot camp, which I’m certain it isn’t. JMHO
@sw33tie I had this problem myself last week. Dynamite!3 -

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
So far this has been ALL KETO - NO EXERCISE! I’m within a few pounds of my goal!
3/19 139.5 I’m in shock! 2 days below 140. Now to continue the trend! I leave for my 50 year high school reunion one month from today!
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.
3/24 139.5 Didn’t make it to robotics yesterday but did today. Quite interesting!
3/25 139.0
3/26 139.0 Changed my macros and lowered my calories starting today. Yesterday while eating at El Pollo Loco, my husband said he was thinking about making more changes in his eating habits. Maybe watching me “suffer” (NOT) through Keto has swayed him! Perhaps it is the brain health benefits I have mentioned.7 -

Goal Round 35: 225
Day/Weight/Comment
3/19 – 226.2 before breakfast. Food prepped for the day and I’m feeling very mindful today so I’m on the right track.
3/20 – 226.8 this morning. Not worried about this – ate under cals and went to the gym last night.
3/21 – 226.4 before breakfast.
3/22 – 226.2 this morning. Slow but steady. I’ve planned out my day as we’re attending my son’s school fundraiser for dinner.
3/23 – 227.8. Overindulged in every possible way yesterday and here it is. Planning did not work as well as I had anticipated. I gave myself 2 minutes after morning weigh in to beat myself up and 2 minutes of self-pity and now I’m back. This WILL NOT lead to a backslide.
3/24 – 226.4 today. Held myself accountable yesterday and was mindful of what I ate.
3/25 – 225.6 this morning. Had pizza last night and didn’t overdo it.
3/26 – 225 today. Reached the round goal and I’m at .1 away from losing my first 10 pounds!

Still in Virginia with my son who is still in the hospital! I've been eating things I shouldn't eat, like: cookies, cherry danish, hiwiaan sweet rolls, garlic toast, etc. etc.. But today I'm taking charge of my eating once again! One good thing is that I have been taking every opportunity to get my steps in; averaging over 5000 steps per day!

GW: 120
Day/Weight/Comment
3/19 143.3 this morning I woke up at about the same weight as yesterday. I over ate yesterday. Today I start a 3 week yoga regime. Hopefully this keeps me motivated. Have to get fit for my wedding!
3/20 144.2
I over ate at dinner last night. I've got to do better today.
3/21 (missed post) I don't remember the weight yesterday I thought I posted but I most not have
3/22 141.6 last night we had I fairly nice dinner and I didn't over eat to much we went on another walk last night for about 30 minutes and I did a little yoga I'm happy to see this helping me. I usually struggle with my weight fluctuating
3/23 142.2 unfortunately I went up a bit in weight this morning. Mike and I seem to be making it a habit to take a walk every night. I also got my yoga flow in yesterday. Today I'm going to track my calories and will be trying to drink enough water.
3/24 142.9 we went out to the bar last night and definitely weren't paying attention to calories. (The milkshake I got after was totally worth it) I'm hoping to be better. I notice that it's rather difficult for me to remember to keep track of my calories.
3/25 142.5 last night I decided to start trying to do intermittent fasting. We'll see how it goes.
3/26 142.0 I'm enjoying the fasting a lot. I start a new job today. We never went for a walk last night but I'm glad to see some weight lose.

My Round 3
Day/weight/Comment
3/19—175.7
3/20—173.2…cross country trek
3/21—173…Day 3, found my way back. Phew
3/22—172.4…Had to hang out at the hospital, so couldn’t get a proper dinner. Chose a vegan pizza for dinner, less fat but too much bread.
3/23—173.9
3/24—173.2
3/25—174.8
3/26—173.0 It’s like riding a wave, watching the numbers go up and down. If it wasn’t for watching it everyday I would fail to see the downward trend and feel defeated as in the past.

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.
