Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 50

8/18 262.4 I was having difficulty getting my old scale to work so we just bought a new scale. Bad news the new scale is weighing me much heavier. So I will be readjusting my weight up
. Disillusioning but when all is said and done I would rather have my true weight and know when I lose I am really losing. My old one got me through losing 40 lbs and gaining it back when I went back to full time work and commute. So really don't know what to say for my last 2 rounds. Can't tell whether I was losing or not. The good new is that I need a scale and to weigh daily and now I have one and can do that.
You did the right thing by replacing an older unreliable scale. I know it feels discouraging but I agree with you about how you'd rather know when you are losing weight. It's a fresh start. Move forward with strength and pride. You are going to do just great!

8/16 - 156 - Wow, after all my whining last round, my weight suddenly seems to be moving in the right direction. I have a feeling this won't stick, but it sure is nice to see this number. I haven't seen this weight since 2001.
8/17 - 156.5 - Not too bad of a bounce back. I didn't get all my water in yesterday, so I'll be chugging it today.

In for my 7th Round!
Round 44 End Weight = 165.8 (5.2 lbs lost)
Round 45 End Weight = 164.9 (0.9 lbs lost)
Round 46 End Weight = 159.6 (5.2 lbs lost)
Round 47 End Weight = 157.2 (2.4 lbs lost)
Round 48 End Weight = 155.2 (2.0 lbs lost)
Round 49 End Weight = 151.2 (4.0 lbs lost)
Stats = 5'4 female, age 48
Highest Weight = 172 lbs
Initial Goal Weight = 139 lbs (last weighed this is 2013)
Ultimate Goal Weight = 129 lbs (last weighed this in 2011)
Round 50 Goal: to be out of the 150's and into the 140's
Exercise Plan = The Betty Rocker 90 Day Challenge (in weeks 5-6 of 12), run outside 3-4 times a week, get 8,000-10,000 steps/day
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.
8/16 = 151.2 (no change from yesterday) Yesterday was a rest day in my 90 day challenge, so I just went for a short run. I ate okay but still low on my calories, I need to get to the grocery store and do some meal prep! I'm missing my daughter, who is still away, but I'm very proud of myself that I have been able to enjoy this alone time and not worry about her like I was afraid I would. It helps that I'm getting daily pictures of her doing fun things and she has a happy, relaxed smile in each one. Today, I've got my day 28 workout to do & I want to get in a short run as well and then lots of house cleaning & laundry to do. I wish everyone a great start to round 50, this is a great challenge to be a part of! "What you do today, can improve all your tomorrows."
8/17 = 151.2 (no change from yesterday) 3rd day in a row at this weight, but I had a big loss last round, so a bit of a slow down is to be expected. I completed the 1st month of my 90 day challenge yesterday and am scheduled to start the 2nd month today but my body is rebelling. It's giving me all the nopes in regards to working out today. I'm going to take today and tomorrow off and start the 2nd month exercises on Sunday. My fitness group that I am a part of has a saying...."all or something", so I am allowing myself to listen to my body and pick this up next week. Have a great weekend everyone!
8/18 = 151.5 (up .3 from yesterday) I spent last night at my sister's & I didn't have my scale with me this morning, so I used hers, so this may or may not be a real "gain". There is no reason for it, so it doesn't bother me. Today was my 2nd rest day and I was still not feeling 100% when I woke up. I finally went to the grocery store and I'm prepped to have my nutrition back on point tomorrow when I re-start up again with my workouts. I'm feeling better after dinner tonight of beef tenderloin, broccoli, and rice, thinking maybe my iron was low. I'm going to start back up with multi-vitamins this week, I've gotten out of the habit and need to better with this.

8/16 : 353.4lb
A good day. Tracked everything, made good choices with my lunch compared to what I would normally get. Was mindful with my eating and talked to a friend of mine who is a big source of support. Planning my meals for tomorrow so I don't get tempted at work!
8/17 : no weigh in
Good day overall where my food is concerned. Realised it was TOTM today (ugh) but stayed away from all temptations! I sometimes forget I'm doing this properly so nearly have a lapse in memory and head to the snacks! So far so good though. Day 4 of healthy eating completed.. feeling grateful!
8/18 no weigh in
Stayed on track and stayed mindful! Feel bloated and gross but hoping it will pass soon. day 5 rocked and I even drank a lot more water than I usually do!

8/16 85.6kg (+0.1kg) That's really fine after a 7 ounce lost overnight! I'm thinking of slowing down the weightloss, since I don't need to loose too much more weight (about 6kg/13lbs). On the other side, things go well and it isn't very hard on me to eat less. So not sure yet. I'm leaving in 4 weeks on a 3 week trip to Botswana and Namibia in Africa. Maybe I'll just continue till then the way I do now and slow down after the my vacation.... And how knows...... maybe I just don't wanna stop at 79 kilo's
8/17 85.9kg (+0.3kg) Went out on a lovely 5 course surpirse- dinner with my hubbie!

17/08: 208.4 lbs … last morning at the hotel … final leg this afternoon.
18/08: 207.8 lbs … first weigh in back home → not a disaster! Overall gain of 2 lbs in 2 weeks
19/08: 207.2 lbs … getting better … Keep going DOWN please!

23/08:
24/08:
25/08:
Looking for a general downward trend. Really focused on my logging, and on clean eating, and MOVING more - which is what I love - it gives me ENERGY!
I am SO SO determined!! I 100% NEED to stay mindful about my daily logging and being mindful about what I eat and drink. I need to get into the HEALTHY BMI band.
This is a long term thing, a few bad days or weeks is something I'm getting better at coping with.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/16 - 256...did fairly well yesterday, stayed just under calories and had a good amount of water. Only went for one small walk though. I'm not good in heat and it was hot and humid here..my body was feeling extra heavy and tired because of it. I had a huge craving for ice cream before bed but managed to keep myself from having it...yay! Lol
8/17 - 257.2...was not able to keep from having my cravings yesterday. Went quite a bit over in calories and had a lot of salty and sweet. TOM came around though so the cravings make sense. No exercise at all yesterday either, it was just too hot and humid, and my little guy has the flu so it was a lazy day. Back on track again today though.
8/18 - 256...did water fitness in the morning and weight training and cardio at night. Ate all of my calories plus about 1/2 of my exercise ones.
8/19 - 256...bad day yesterday. I've gotten my sons cold and I used it as an excuse to eat everything in sight. I'm starting to feel like a broken record...good day/bad day/good day/bad day. I wanted to be out of the 250's by the end of this round or at least the end of the month but if I keep doing this that will never happen

Still hurting, but I'm excited to see the doctor in integrative medicine this morning and, hopefully, get a non-prednisone handle on this pain. Happy to be below 145 to start this round!
8/17 - 143 - 966 - 10-day ave 1151
I was stunned to see this number this morning! It's the lowest I've been in probably 3 decades (though I was just slightly more 2 years ago, before I did a metabolism reset). I don't know that it will stick -- my calories were artificially low yesterday as I had to fast 12 hours for early morning blood work -- but still!!!
It's a rainy Friday here, but I'm hurting slightly less and feeling much more hopeful after seeing the integrative doctor yesterday. I'm hoping to work on my home (only!) office today and then shop for a standing (adjustable) desk -- I'm finally feeling like getting back to work on my next book. Have a lovely weekend, all!
8/18 - 143.2 - 1435 - 10-day ave 1168
Happy Saturday! The first flower is blooming on my new climbing rose - I'll take that as a happy omen. And although my stated goal for this round is to maintain, with any loss a bonus, I'm secretly hoping to hit 142 by the end. But I am adding some calories - I've been a bit too low. Macros have been good, though.
8/19 - 143.2 - 1189 - 10-day ave 1185
Looking forward to a beautiful Sunday. I hope yours is lovely!

Female age 49 5'5" Goal to lose a few pounds before race day Sept 22nd,
Day/Weight/Comment
8/16 This morning 137 pounds. Concert last night. My food was over my macros. Gym tonight.
8/17 - 136 pounds. Ran an hour last night. Food was on point except for late-night snack.
8/18 -133 pounds. Part of this is dehydration. Outdoor concert in the heat last night and a 40 min run this morning. I expect to see a bit of a rebound gain in the next few days.
8/19 - 133 pounds. No gym today. Relaxing and resting.

I'll try & join you! It's my first time here.
Day 1 (8/16) : morning weight 55.8 kg (organized a bbq the day before, binge eaten my way through the day, and went to bed with my stomach in pain, poor sleep quality, a disaster to keep it simple. On the 16 I went to the gym for one hour, great time. I was on a night shift, I ate a couple of candies to stay motivated, ended up eating a whole mac flurry after a huge dinner/breakfast at 2 am.
Day 2 (8/17) : 10 am : 54.5 kg. Had comfort food after the night shift : a peace of chocolate zucchini cake & a handful of almonds. Went swimming 2.5 km, felt really great. I'm going to a bbq tonight, I'll keep this post in mind to avoid gulping.
Day 3 (8/18) : ended up eating a piece of every cakes that was on the table yesterday (yeah I know, not the plan...) so 55.2 kg. Went to the gym, spinned for 30', made delicious crepes (no sugar, no butter though), resist the urge to buy a new pair of (un-necessary) shoes. This week has been a disaster, but I've come to the realization that what I need to do is stop the snacking, eat what feels good during meal time, and give less credit to the calories at the end of the day. As long as I don't stuff or starve myself, I'm already beginning to improve my behavior around food.
Day 4 (8/19) : 54.5 kg. Healthy breakfast, didn't thought about the pralines in my ward's fridge, and went swimming. Thinking about tonight's meal already, it's going to be delicious (and I may be able to keep up with my intakes goal today
)

•8/16 - 187 - WOW. I haven't retained fluid like this for a while.
•8/17 - 185 - Okay, it's ON fluid retention. Drank my ACV & lemon water this morning and will be increasing my water consumption to 100+ ozs daily. I'll be drinking a cup of parsley tea later and will continue doing that every day until I don't feel like spongebarb any longer. And SLEEP! That's what my weight increase and this drop is from, not enough and a recoup. Getting there, still retaining. I also need to revise my food diary today. Acceptable foods that cause me no problems, but I need to not eat them at this time.
•8/18 - 185.6 - It's going to be a battle. I'm ready.
•8/19 - 185.8 - OOoooo I had a feeling that once I reached 186 I would plateau. I looked 2 rounds back, I never touched on 186. My body is such a tease. And yeah, still retaining fluid. Well, since I can't seem to break away from these 185 increments, I may as well update my MFP progress to this minus point 8 lb

8/16 - 180.0 lbs Good start 😊 Had to go 80 calories over my goal yesterday long after I had finished my diary, I was feeling really hungry.
8/17 - 181.0 lbs (+ 1.0) It is SO hard for me to get past 180. I don’t get it.. What do you want from me body? I was very thirsty when I wake up, so I actually drank a lot of water before weighing. I usually weigh on an empty stomach.
8/18 - 180.2 lbs (- 0.8) I think it’s hard because I’ve been around this weight for many years.. So it just doesn’t come off that easy. Is that a thing? I can’t wait to see 175, then I’ll know that I am over this hard phase and that it’s actually possible to lose more.
8/19 - 179.6 lbs (-0.6) Hope it lasts :-D Great to see the needle below 180 again.

8/16 72kg - almost within cals yesterday, walked 12k steps, but no other exercise. Skipped my run this morning as I needed the extra hour in bed after a bad night. Work takes priority this week before holidays
8/17 - 71 whoosh! It could be 70.5, but I don't want to get overly excited yet. Within cals yesterday, walked 11k steps and went for a short run this morning, only 20mins as per my 5-10k plan.
I had been planning to only eat back half my exercise cals back, but I struggle with that.
8/18 71kg despite some self sabotaging emotional eating yesterday. I ended up not logging.
Today is a travel day, only a short flight, but the whole trip still takes about 5hours and then sister's birthday party
8/19 holiday back home til 26th - 72kg on parent's digital scale. I'm not going to log food this week and just be mindful where possible. I will over eat, I know that and that's ok. I really want this holiday to be not stressful - logging unknown / never-logged / homemade foods would stress me.
I had a lovely time last night with lots of snacks and some drinks, bu managed to go for my run today and will make more of an effort to get my 10k steps in. Moving to earn more cals is my strategy while here.

Well, I had pizza last night, so didn't expect a loss, plus zero exercise. But because I stayed within, it didn't go up! Woo! Back on track for nutrition today. Plus, at a pound and a half a week, there SHOULD be days where it stays the same.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/16 155.2 Weak start as far as my eating yesterday for this challenge as I overindulged and did not track my meal last night, but it was good. I expect a bump up tomorrow from the carbs (rice, garlic bread, alcohol, ice cream)
8/17 156.2 Yesterday another wth day, ate well all day until after dinner toast with butter, ice cream, basically a binge. Not really sure what is going on, but if I had to guess I would say...I am feeling bored and am seeking "variety" through eating, plus that "full" feeling when you eat a lot of carbs. As I was eating the ice cream it didn't even taste that good or satisfy, but I finished it anyway. I guess it's why I am here. It's hard sometimes to deal with the relationship with food. It's not like we can go cold turkey and stop eating. One day at a time.
8/18 155 Woke up with a migraine- movies last night, popcorn. Eating still not good. Dairy causing breakouts. Headaches. Body is telling me.
8/19 154.2 Stayed down most of yesterday recovering from the migraine, it's so strange how our bodies choose to let go of weight. I have had a "bad" week so far eating macros and over calories, yet I am now dropping. Just another lesson to trust the process and stay the course. I am not beating myself up for induging, because I am not on a diet. I am merely making smarter choices with occasional treats. My whole life I have done the yoyo, though this is the highest (171) I let myself go. Where I usually run into problems is not in losing the weight, that is the easy part. The hard part is when I am thin and I think I can just eat whatever I want. And there it comes back again. The only time I really maintained was when I was a runner, though I lacked tone. I have not gotten myself active again though it is necessary as part of the whole picture, but school starts next Tuesday so there will be no more excuses then!
