Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 51

GrandmaJackie

Round 51

Please join us! Starting on 08/26 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 51
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

This round will be tricky for me, as for the first half I will be abroad on a family visit, a trip which will be full of temptations in the shape of wine, cake, snacks and restaurant dinners (basically everything that I've so successfully been avoiding in the previous round...).

Therefore for this round I will mostly focus on maintaining and to stay below 65.5kg (144lbs).

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieve permanent change.

REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

• Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
• A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
• Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
• The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
• Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
• The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
• When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
• Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

I am struggling with motivation...and I've noticed a fairly strong correlation: When I actively am able to read everyone's progress posts, my motivation is HIGH. When I don't have Internet access or time to read, my motivation dips.

I'd like to think I can be my own motivation, but apparently I need a herd.
