Just Give Me 10 Days

Day/Weight/Comment
7/27- Out of town, no weigh in. Long road trip yesterday which meant fast food dinner. I anticipated it so I budgeted well prior to hitting the road. Opted for a kid’s meal, which helped with the calories.
7/28- Out of town, no weigh in. Peach cobbler.
7/29- Out of town, no weigh in. Blueberry muffins. Couldn’t say no to the muffins toddler baked with his grandmother.
7/30- 225.0 I was so apprehensive stepping on the scale this morning. I was convinced I gained 5 pounds over the weekend. What a relief! 10% body weight loss. I can’t wait til it really sticks for me to log it officially!

Hubby's bd yesterday, but I ate a lovely, healthy lunch out - grilled shrimp, salad, broccoli, one spoonful of his dessert. Yesterday evening I went for a 4-mile walk along the Maumee River on the beautiful Rivergreenway.
7/28 - 148.2 - 1330 - 10-day ave 1425 - 35 min walk + 30 min gardening
One of those mysterious upticks. All is well. It looks like a beautiful day, so I'm hoping to get at least one nice walk along one of our three rivers. Enjoy your weekend!
7/29 - 148 - 1653 - 10-day ave 1458 - 30 min walk + misc walking around stores & public garden
Splurged a little last night on ice cream and crackers (not together!) and my sodium was a little higher than usual, so no surprise. Pants I haven't worn in a while feel looser, so there's that! I've been having a lot of lower back and hip pain and blood work shows significant inflammation, so in addition to seeing a chiropractor I'm going to start an anti-inflammation cleanse in a few days. Happily, it's not very different from how I typically eat - the main things I'll have to give up are coffee (no biggee if I have my herbal teas) and chicken, which we eat fairly often. Anyway, I'm not doing it for weight loss, but will be interested to know whether it makes a difference (heavy on veggies, whole grains/no bread or grain-based pasta, and healthy fats). It's the Journey Alive 8-week cleanse program by Coralie Murphy, which is science-based and not extreme. Has anyone here done it?

@no1racefan1, I am so sorry to hear that you have shingles. I really hope the medication you are taking can stop the progression.
@SheilaBoneham, Its interesting to me that the anti-inflammatory diet that you are going to start includes whole grains. Any grains cause inflammation in my body. I don't think that I have come across this particular cleanse in my Internet search's and readings. Good luck. I hope it's beneficial to you.2 -

7/27 178.2 // Although this is a gain from some of my lowest weights recently it’s a decrease in my starting weight over the last three rounds. I know that tomorrow I’m going to spend all day eating out so I’m hoping to keep my diet in check today.
7/28 177.2/ Happy to see a decrease!
7/29 178.2/ I ate out for pretty much every meal yesterday and didn’t drink enough water so this was to be expected. I’m getting back on track today and trying to rehydrate.
7/30 177.8/ This is helpful after eating out again last night. We’re spending the rest of the week eating at home and I’ll be drinking plenty of water during work today. The weather isn’t great so I might do a work-out video when I get home. I’m looking forward to plenty of losses this week.

7/27 185.4 - ready for a woosh - anytime now please. Dug out my fitbit and started using it again. Will try to improve my steps and my NEAT
7/28 184.8 - lots of walking yesterday! 18K steps and feeling great!
7/29 183.8 woosh!!
7/30 184.2 that's ok a woosh is usually follow by a bounce. Today is World Embroidery Day. Yesterday I finished a big project. I always delay finishing - I don't know why I get nervous about it, because I am usually pretty happy with them when they are done. Anyway I ate more because I was anxious, but also went on a 5k walk to balance it all out.

Round 48 *Will be on vacation during the majority of this round
7/27: 165.0/Had to work today, so got up super early to get in a run and exercise. Looking forward to starting vacation tomorrow. It will be interesting to see how my runs go as I am going from super flat terrian to hilly terrian, in the final week of C25k training, ehhhhh. I plan on trying to stay within my calorie allowance, but things happen.
7/28: 165.2/Leaving for vacation today. Would like to see this number down not up, hoping to maintain. Going to try and log in with weights depending on scale access, but might be done for rest of this round.
7/29: 164.6/Went over calories yesterday, all day driving to start vacation. It is amazing how EASY it is to stack up those calories in one fast food meal. If anything recording calories really opens your eyes to how many calories can be in one meal, even when your trying to be good. Went for a run this morning, I am on week 8 of c25k and supposed to run 2.75 miles. I am in hill county now, so had to walk about 1/4 of that, but I did it!
7/30: 163.8/Really on point with calories yesterday, which was reflected on the scale. I am still on vacation, but travelling to a different state today and staying in a rental with friends. This will be the hardest part of my vacation, since I will be surrounded by temptation and in a unknown place.11 -

I’m in. However, I find when I get on the scale every day it drives me crazy. My starting weight is 137.8.
I think in 10 days I should be able to lose 4 lbs. I will post that I stayed under my calorie goal and exercised every day. At the end of 10 days I will weigh myself and see if it made a difference.7 -

After one month (July) of planned increased carbs (in season fruits) I had not expected to lose any weight. I lost almost 4lbs! No more fruit after today, in order to bring my carb grams back down to keto level. Now that I'm just under 190lbs, it's also time to change my calorie range on MFP and get out of the 180's!10

7/27 157.8 I am not sure how everyone else counts their loss for a round, but I am taking today's starting weight as my ending weight for last round, which means I met my goal for the round! I have been wanting to share with all of you how much it means to me to be able to read about your progress, your stumbles, your victories and your challenges. We so often look around us and don't realize how alike we all are. I used to feel like I was the only one who struggled, everyone else had it all together. This diverse group that we are, men, women, younger and not, we are all very much alike and it really helps me to share my daily *stuff* here with you. Love you all!!
7/28 159 I know that although I have been logging I have been estimating too much. Yesterday I made the tradeoff to have a relaxed day with my son which meant eating off plan with him, necessary I think for him if that makes sense. He convinced me to buy some paint since I have a stack of canvases sitting for over a year, I love to paint but have been off that path for a while, not feeling creative. Weight gain and unconscious eating does more to me than make me fat. It takes away my creativity, me sex drive, my joy, my desire to do more, all things I am noticing now as they come back. Thanks to being inspired by @mthomas0288 and her workout challenges I signed up for a free 30 day workout and *yikes* start today. I am excited to see what the next 30 days brings, since I am realizing that weight loss alone will not give me the results I want in my body.
**I just googled *kitten* though this is probably old news for you veterans on MFP I was finally confused enough about why everyone was using it lol
7/29 158.6 Did day one of my 30 day challenge and though it was only a 15 minute workout I am sore today which feels so good!
7/30 WEIGH IN DAY 158 under ate yesterday and didn't drink enough H2O, will do better today.

7/27 - 183.6 - Had poor eating day yesterday, managed to stay within goal but barely. My daughter had been in an accident, she is OK but being her Mama I had to go to the hospital and see it with my own eyes to believe her.
7/28 - 184.0 - another unexpected task added on at suopertime. Ended up eating McDonald’s for supper. Still in calorie goal but not part of my plans.
7/29 - 185.2 - Went for a date night on Saturday our first in a long time, so fully enjoyed it. Stayed in maintenance but lots of carbs and sodium
7/30 - 185.2 - Yesterday ate in maintenance as well, very hot and didn't feel like cooking so ate out. Will get back on track today.

Initial Goal Weight = 139 lbs (last weighed this is 2013)
Ultimate Goal Weight = 129 lbs (last weighed this in 2011)
Round 48 Goal: to be in the 155's
Exercise Plan = The Betty Rocker 90 Day Challenge (in week 2 of 12), run outside 3-4 times a week, get 8,000-10,000 steps/weekday
Nutrition Plan = Continue to limit gluten, dairy, sugar, diet soda, alcohol & eat non-processed foods, protein/fruit/veg at every meal, complex carbs at breakfast and post workout meal, drink plenty of water.
07/27 - 157.2 (no change from yesterday) I had a really good exercise day yesterday! Was able to get a run in and completed the 1st week of my 90 day challenge with the day 7 exercises. Food wise, everything was on point. I'm tired today and super happy it's Friday! So looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow, although a later weigh-in may sque the number on the scale. I bought a book yesterday that was recommended by another person on a similar weight loss/fitness journey called Intuitive Eating and looking forward to diving into this book over the weekend. Welcome to everyone new to this challenge, excited to see what this round brings!
07/28 - 157.0 (down .2 from yesterday) Late weigh-in this morning and hopefully will have a late weigh-in tomorrow, so we'll see what the scale brings on Monday with a normal weigh-in time. Yesterday I completed day 8 of my 90 day challenge: Body Squat w/ 2 Knee Lift, Incline Push Ups, Alternating Reverse Lunges, Elbow Plank, 4-Point Triceps Dips, Side Step Squat w/ Bicep Curls (used dumbbells), & Bridge Lifts. My upper body is my weakest area (in terms of strength) and I put on weight here 1st and lose here last. Those 4-point triceps dips were hard!! But the sense of accomplishment after is worth all the pain of doing them! On point yesterday with nutrition, calories & macros. Today is a scheduled rest day and my plan was to do nothing, but my daughter just got invited over to a friend's house, which opens me up to be able to get outside and get a run in - Yay!
07/29 - 156.7 (down .3 from yesterday) Didn't get to sleep in this morning as my daughter had a friend sleepover and they were up quite early wanting breakfast. They had a baked berry French toast, I had prepped the night before, I took a small bite but it didn't really interest me, happy to stick to my green smoothie. Yesterday was a partial rest day, just did a short run, it was a little warm but there was a nice breeze so no complaints. I did my day 10 of 90 workout earlier this morning and for the rest of the day I'm hoping to get some meal prep in and then have some nice family time with my husband and daughter. Enjoy your day everyone
07/30 - 156.3 (down .4 from yesterday) I've got a feeling my weight is about to have a little bounce up, maybe I'm wrong but we'll see. Usually when it drops like this (more than .2 a day), it goes up a bit and then settles back down. I'll just keep plugging along and roll with it. I didn't get enough sleep on Saturday night, so yesterday wasn't the best. I felt sluggish in my workout, and while I ate according to plan, I didn't eat enough. I took a huge afternoon nap and then couldn't sleep last night and stayed awake stressing about all sorts of things. So not good! I'm about to make some protein pancakes for breakfast and get re-charged for the day. Today is an active recovery day for day 11 of my 90 day challenge, so looking to get some yoga in, self care, and do the meal prep that didn't happen yesterday. Let's have a great start to this new week everyone!

GW 168
UGW 125
7/27 last night I caved. I had a double plate of dinner and a chocolate bar...or 2. I didn't exercise at all and only drank 1 liter of water. I havent been this hungry in over two weeks. What I'm trying to say is I was too scared to weigh myself this morning so I didn't. I know I should have, just to hold my self accountable but I chickened out. Well I'm jumping back in today and going to work hard to try to get whatever weight I gained yesterday off. I have noticed a 1 day a week trend where I derail, I will have to work on that, at least until I drop a good amount of weight and then I will probably reconsider the "cheat meal" idea.
7/28 --170.8 so back to my starting weight. Worked out hard yesterday and got in 1.5 liters of water. I'm impressed because my workouts are getting easier and easier from when I started...so happy about that. Last night my fiancee grabbed chips and cookies but I managed to stay away...personal win. I already feel like it's going to be a tempting weekend so I'm going to have to be extra mindful and keep up my determination. I'm also impressed because my man has been playing Pokemon go lately which means he likes to go for walks now (he hates going out and walking, grocery shopping can be a drag with him) so i have been going out and walking around more then usual..which is a plus hope everyone has a great and mindful weekend
7/29 --171 last night had a day/night out with friends, pizza and beers. Tried not to over eat or drink but it obviously still hit me. No exercising and low on the water, it's ok though could have gained more
7/30--170.6 stayed within my calorie goal and although didn't do my usual workout, I did spend the majority of my day out and about walking around so at least it's something. Drank 1.5 liters of water. Trying to stay motivated, I have been working out relentlessly for about three weeks now (slowing down within the last couple of days) and I just assumed I would have seen a higher loss by now. My eating habits have been good and my water intake has been fair. Trying to keep my head up though and push on. Hopefully after today I will finally see those 160s. I can't wait to see some sort of progress

We are supposed to start cooling off a little bit mid week.

7/29 165.4 Trend wt: 164.5 Loss/wk: 0.7
Not worried. I’m tracking, exercising... all will be good! And the trip is rejuvenaring! #Grateful!
7/30 166.2 Trend wt: 165 Loss/wk: 0.6
“Overall, during this period, you have lost 2,355 cals (net Calories deficit), which means you should have lost 11oz. Your total Calories intake was 14,632 and your total Calories expended was 16,987 (of which, 3,848 cals were burned from exercise).
According to your weigh-ins, you've gained about 2lb during this time. You've lost about 2.7lb less than expected.”
Hahahahahaha!!! So I guess I *really* weigh 163.7, which I believe.
Culprit: two salty meals? Many more steps?? More sleep! Not going to worry about it. Still...it is disconcerting when I was so active & brought my food, weighed food, etc, tracked all. I see why folks have a 5-lb maintenance window.
Two planned & tracked restaurant meals which I don’t have normally.
Carrying on!

7/26 - R47 EW 192.0
7/27 - Friday - 192.6 - Well I self sabotaged myself last night. Didnt eat my snack, got home and went to the lake basically in avoidance mode. Starving on the way home and ordered pizza deal. Ate my hunger and my feelings. Woke up super grumpy today - stressed at work. Making a conscious effort to have a better attitude than I woke up with. Late start on water intake today. Had already planned on mexican for lunch so I'm going to enjoy it, log it, and move on. Same with last night - its over and done with. Today may not be too pretty eating wise either but honestly I'm more focused on my mental health today - I know food has a direct correlation to my mood so I'll remember that while being gentle with myself today.
7/28 - Saturday - 193.4 - Made it thru the day with minimal incidence of meltdown nor did I self sabotage - I are when I was hungry and didn't when I was full. Impromptu shopping trip with my mom today. Its bound to include lunch. I'll be present in the moment and listen to those hunger cues again. Happy saturday!
7/29 - Sunday - 194.6 - Oh restaurant food how you toy with my emotions. Not letting it get to me! Had a great day yesterday. Overindulged a bit at lunch. When I came home DH wanted to take me out on a date night for ice cream - so like any reasonable adult child in an adults body I had ice cream for dinner! I didnt spend the day feeling bad about the number, or trying to over compensate eating really well or starve myself. I just trust the process enough to know that tomorrow I'll be back on track.
7/30 - Monday - 193.2 - Ahh yes, rewarded for trusting the process. I was not perfect by any means yesterday. But I have been better about drinking my protein shake in the morning and taking my meds. Also trying to improve my NEAT. NSV's this weekend include, grocery shopping and sticking to the list, food prepped and meal planned for the week yesterday, trying on a bunch of clothes (down to a size 14 from a snug 16) and liking how I looked, handling stressful situations with more grace, and moving more in general! Oh and that pesky appraisal finally came back - it didnt let us down! So things are moving right along again, may even be able to move up closing! Onward!!!

ROUND 6 FOR ME - Female 58 yrs old 5’ 5” Midwest USA Original starting weight 235 on 1/11/18
………We are fierce and so we fight………
Goals: 1. To be an inspiration to my 22 year old Autistic son who started his weight loss journey on May 1, 2018 weighing 308.4 . (He weighs in about once per week)
2. 3 lb loss to land at 183.8 or less for myself
3. No Bingeing
4. No “cheat days” only “Earn days”. No “Earn Days” only “Earn Meals” which are much easier to bounce back from.
5. 10,000 steps per day. Mixed modes of exercise.
6. Lots of water, green tea daily, apple cider vinegar before carby meals.
7. Check my blood sugar daily for improvements.
My Stats:
R43 SW= 193.8 EW= 195.6 +1.8 lbs Gain
R44 SW= 195.6 EW= 192.4 - 3.2 lbs Loss
R45 SW= 192.4 EW= 191.4 - 1.0 lbs Loss
R46 SW= 191.4 EW= 186.0 - 4.4 lbs Loss
R47 SW= 186.0 EW= 186.8 +0.8 lbs Gain
R48 SW= 186.8 EW= TBD
Day/Weight/Comment
7/27 188.4 Self Sabotage during and after a night out with friends yesterday. My own fault, no excuses. Ate 166 Net Carbs, 1972 Calories In / 2675 Out. 11 of 13 step hours (250) on fitbit. Walked 3.98 miles with 9,393 steps. Did great today so tomorrow’s stats should be much better. Socializing makes it tough!
7/28 186.0 whoosh…, high sodium and water weight gone for good along with doubts and self-sabotage. It was a good day yesterday. I worked hard to make up for my social night out. I ate 19 Net Carbs. 1192 Calories In / 3089 Calories Out. 13/13 fitbit steps (250). Blood sugar 126 before meal test (still suffering a bit from day before). Brisk 3 mile walk at school track. Day’s total was 16,625 steps and a total of 7.03 miles for the day. Best victory was that I made good healthy choices in my meals all day (not just stayed in my macros). I did indulge in that 90% Lindt chocolate, but it kept my cravings curbed as well as serves as an antioxidant. An overall very successful day.
7/29 185.2 Overall good day but not as active due to some light but frequent car time. I at 19 Net Carbs. 1263 Calories In / 2354 Calories Out. Did 9,246 steps with no particular exercise involved. Walked 3.92 miles and hit 11/13 steps hours (250) on fitbit. Followed my diet very well but drank very little water or fluids overall. I plan on drinking much more today. I forgot to check my blood sugars yesterday. My doctor has me checking before meals now instead of in the morning so I often forget to do it before I eat. I made delicious Keto friendly Jalepeno poppers yesterday. So fast, easy and delicious. Just cut off ends of Jalepenos, slice in half (like a canoe). Take out seeds and ribs (rinse under water if you need to). Fill with cream cheese (and a little salt if you need more sodium.) wrap in ½ slice of bacon, or lay ¼ slice on top (depends on how many calories you want. Bake on 375 until bacon is done to your liking. Net carb about 1 to 1.5 per popper (half) calories about 60 – 70 (depending on how high you heap the cream cheese). I use about ½ TBSP per popper of cream cheese so calories are about 70 each. Yummy!
7/30 188.8 Went way overboard out of town in restaurant(s). But tons of walking and steps. I hope I can get this number back down quickly, hoping it’s water weight too. 397 net carbs (ouch!). 2704 Calories In / 3515 Calories out. How can I gain when CI are over 800 less than CO ? So hoping a lot of it is fast moving water weight. Had 17,172 steps. 13/13 fitbit step hours (250). Total miles logged on fitbit 7.28 miles with no actual intended exercise or walks due to the travel. Steps and miles were work related when I arrived at destination. Water consumption good. Just went hog wild on the special foods that was made available to me during my trip. I am working hard today to stick to my guns and remedy the situation. Just being human and imperfect , but today I feel strong and not so tempted.

Actually lost well last round. For me, losing more than a # in a round is amazing. It helped of course that I was just undoing the gains of the two rounds before. That’s where this challenge is so great. Keeps you on track.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/27, Friday – 160.2 Getting ready for a trip but decided I’d better hang in there and log what I can. If I can plan carefully and work through my list of things to do hopeful can have a good trip and keep the weight down. I’m visiting my kids & grandkids who mostly eat very well. There is a lot of driving though and those days are not so good. I did buy an excellent cooler though so I can avoid the fast food and stop at rest stops. Just takes a little planning. Determined to leave the 160’s behind.
7/28 Saturday – 161.2
7/29 Sunday – 160.6
7/30 Monday – 160.6
