JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 57

Snowflake1968

I am a 50 year old 5'5" woman. I am trying to get healthier to avoid diabetes and all of the problems that come from being overweight.

I have found this challenge to be both rewarding and frustrating! Looking at my weight daily has been a real eye opener to see all of the fluctuations and how a high carb day will affect me and the loss for 2-3 days after. On the other hand when I look at the big picture and the averages it has been a consistent loss except for two rounds. Round 53 was my 50 birthday celebrations that upped my weight for a few days.

I need to step up my game if I want to meet any of my goals.

Round 57
10/25 150.5 Late posting today but I did weigh this morning. Glad the little bit I gained came off pretty quickly. 😊
10/26 150 Yayyy! Definitely made me happy to see this number this morning. I shared a story on my personal page yesterday that when I went for my walk, I seen an elderly lady that I met several months ago and haven't seen since. She knew who I was once we started talking, but she said the reason she didn't recognize me at first was my weight loss. Feels great to be noticed 😊
10/27 150 I will be away for the rest of the weekend so I won't have access to a scale tomorrow. Will try and still post though. I am going to a fall festival tonight and I have no idea what kind of foods there will be. Plan to eat light! 10/28 Away, did not weigh- went to a Halloween party Saturday night, there were only hotdogs and lots of carb-y foods, so I did splurge a little.
10/29 150 whew I was afraid to step on the scale this morning from the weekend. No exercising yesterday or Saturday since I was away, and I had several treats but didn't over stuff myself. Also took a break from logging my foods. Back to logging and exercising today. Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
10/30 150 the real test is gonna be tomorrow with all the Halloween candy. Only 4 more days to meet my goal for this round and get in the 140's. 10 days really go by fast!
10/31 149.5 Not holding on to this number though because tonight we are trick or treating and then going to a party, so will be lots of goodies and drinks.
11/01 151 annnddd I knew this was gonna happen. Not mad, not even upset because I am lucky I didn't gain 5+ pounds from the way I ate last night. Had a glass of wine also. Today is a new day, new month. Lots and lots of water today, and going to try and stay out of the brownies we had left over and kids candy!!
11/02 150.5 my weight came down a little from yesterday, I had a terrible sweets craving yesterday though so I did give in to them. Looks like I just maintained for this round, it's ok though- my own fault! Ready for the next .
11/03 150 see you all in round 58!

ended last round with a sudden drop - so I will be happy to maintain this round although a loss of 0.2 would give me a nice round number of lbs lost since joining this challenge - and I love round numbers.

10/25 174.2 and a milestone! I am 10 BMI points down from my heaviest and 2 away from getting out of the obese range. !!

11/02 176.2
11/03 175.8 So up 1.2 for the round - but I am back on track after getting de-railed - so I am OK with that.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

10/25 131.0 Met my friend Amy at the gym yesterday did 20 minutes on the treadmill and 2 1/2 minutes on the elliptical. I know that’s not much, but the gym is remodeling and have no ladies room and I really needed one. I hadn’t been on the elliptical for probably three years and it’s been almost 2 since I last did the treadmill except a few days last month when Amy and I started doing this together. Searched out my HRM and need to update the settings- the last time I used it I weighed 174!
10/26 131.0 Met Amy at the gym yesterday. Guild meeting last night and I didn’t snack on ANY of the goodies available. I didn’t even look at them!
10/27 130.5 Dinner at friends last night. Pork ribs and roasted Brussels sprouts. Had 1 adult beverage. Today my sewing friends are coming over. I’m making a keto casserole and more Brussels sprouts! Also Cream Cheese Fudge, another keto recipe.
10/28 130.5 Was busy yesterday getting ready for sewing friends so didn’t eat until almost 2PM. They left after 6 and DH was at a card game. My stomach started to growl at 8:30 so I reheated a little of the leftover. I hate eating that late but, as it turned out, we went out late and I didn’t go to bed until 2AM.
10/29 130.5 I had the worst Charlie Horse in my right calf and foot yesterday. It took a few minutes for Carl to break it up and it was stressful I was shaking after. Today I have residual pain. Going to meet my friend at the gym at 2 with my new HR monitor. I didn’t know Amazon delivered on Sundays!
10/30 130.0
10/31 131.5 We spent the day out of town with friends and I hardly had any water.
11/01 131.5 Busy day. Read to page 26 before I had to take friends to the airport then in and out all day.
11/02 131.0 I guess busy is good. Over calories and macros yesterday but down 0.5#. Worked legs yesterday and love that my inner thighs hurt today!
11/03 131.0 My thighs hurt more as the day passed yesterday but seem to be improving now. I was looking forward to going to the fitness room while DH played cards this afternoon but he told me there is no game today.

See you all in Round 58! Thank you @GrandmaJackie!

10/26 285 (-1)
10/27 283.8 (-1.2) Got new scale. Reading 1 lb less than old one.

10/31 278.6 (-.4)
11/01 278.8 (+.2)
11/02 277.8 (-1) Continuing to track every little thing that goes in my mouth. I think my body is still trying to get used to this new normal. We've started going on family walks together in the evening too. Getting more steps in than usual and feeling great!
11/03 277.8 (-0) Very pleased with my first round. I'm sure a lot of the initial weight was water weight. Also, one pound was the new scale, plus the first time I weighed was mid afternoon with clothes on, so there's another couple of pounds. All in all, I'm very happy with the results, but more importantly, I'm very happy that I've tracked everything, been eating mindfully, and adding in a little more exercise.

Round 12
SW 149.8
GW 147
UGW 125

My goals are to really work and try to loose another 10-15 pounds by my 29th birthday in December

🕷10/25🕸 149.8- yesterday I worked out but ate a bit too much, late night snacking got to me..I still managed under my calories but it does explain the "maintenance" I drank 1 liter of water, so not great on the water front. I have been extra hungry for the past two weeks but I finally feel normal again now that I am mid week into my TOM. I also feel good today, totally more energized then I have been the past two weeks (like I was before my cold started... gosh colds last a long time) here is to a good day! 🥂 i am also happy to report i took my measurments this morning and I am half an inch down around my waist, 1 inch down around my hips and 1 and a half inches down around my thighs...what a good start to my day

⚰10/26🔮 149.8 pfft. Ate under calories, exercised and drank 1.6 liters of water. Thank gosh I took my inches to prove my weight loss, otherwise this number would have been slightly discouraging since it is the 9th day at 149.x but I'm not letting it get to me. This weekend I will be away so I don't know how often I will be on and I for sure won't have access to a scale, there will be a lot of walking involved but I plan to stay mindful of my eating and hopefully won't see a crazy increase on Monday. Wish me luck 😉

🎃10/27🎭 -away no scale-

🕸10/28🕷 - away no scale-

🔮10/29⚰ 149.6 finally caught up on everyones posts. This weekend was so much fun and I am so happy that this was what I saw on the scale this morning!! Food choices were so difficult given the fact we were on a bus, given food parcels containing sweets and high carb foods. The bus was all ladies with the exception of 4 men out of 40 odd people (not including the two bus drivers) and we were all Italians..which means biscotti and such. I did track all my food and ate everything sparingly. When we did arrive at our destinations, the food options were food courts, which made salads and fruits rare to come by. I did walk a lot and portion out the food. I was lucky that the B&B we stayed at provided fruit for breakfast, so I took a couple extra for the road. I'm so tired today and I am feeling it in my legs, so I might do some light work outs but I am not fully commiting to anything. Planning to get back to my %100 by tomorrow.

🎭10/30🎃 150.6 of course I was amazing all weekend and the day I am home it became a binge fest. I haven't had a cheat meal since Canadian thanksgiving and I haven't had a binge day since I think August so although it does suck and I feel gross I'm also ok with it. I'm back at it today and am just going to keep moving forward and down ward. Also joined a volleyball league that will be starting sometime in November...so excited and nervous

🎃10/31 🕷🕸🔮⚰🎭🎃Happy Halloween 🎃🎭⚰🔮🕸🕷 149.6 and back down again. Exercised for 54 min HITT and went for a 40 min bike ride. It was so nice yesterday. I am proud of my month. Between uping my exercising, being sick and thanksgiving (canadian) I really feel like I did very well. Tonight I am not going to worry about "watching" my eating. I know I teqnically had a binge day Monday and that was teqnically supposed to be saved for today but I am not concerned. I will not overkill it and I will be exercising but its a long tradition to eat junk food and watch horror movies and it tends to be my favorite day of the year.. so I am going to enjoy it. After all there is always tomorrow and I know the minute NOV 1st hits I will be back to normal by watching what i am eating and i will uping my exercise once again. I hope everyone has a great day/night and I hope it's full of spooky fun!!

🍂11/01🍃 149.6 didnt do as bad as I thought with the snacking. Ate 5 pieces of mini candy and was practically walking around all night..the kids came in groups, absolutley nuts!! Didn't exercise yesterday so this weeks exercise has been the least amount I have done since restarting my journey in July. Not worried though, I know I will get back to it tonight and have a steady increase.

🍁11/02🍂148.8 finally!! I was getting sick of seeing that 149.x. I can't believe it's already the end of this round, I feel like it went by so fast. Yesterday I was under Calories and went on a long walk. I am hoping this not only sticks but that maybe I can push a baby bit more for tomorrow's weigh in, so close to the goal but I don't think I will make it.

🍃11/03🍁 148.2 i didn't make my 147 goal but I am happy I at least got this close!! It's been a slow round but I can only expect that as I get closer to my goal weight my loss will be a lot slower...it makes me nervous and anxious but at the same time excited. I know it's time to crank it into high gear and take my body to new limits. I hope everyone else had a good round and I will see you all next round😄

Day/Weight/Comment
10/25 = 143.5 (up 2.5 lbs from yesterday) Hate to start a new round with a "gain" but this was expected and just a little blip up from my party last night. We had such a good turnout with a great group of ladies, super fun but way too many nibbly foods and cocktails. This should drop right back down in the next couple of days. The last round I was way off track with getting my workouts in & logging, but I practiced intuitive eating and was able to eek out a small loss. Getting out of these 140's is hard but I also have not been truly committed since I sprained my ankle. But all healed and ready to be back at it, giving it 100%. "If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down."

10/26 Did not weigh-in

10/27 Did not weigh-in

10/28 Did not weigh-in

10/29 =143.4 (down .01 lbs, still up 2.4 lbs) I was out of the loop over the weekend. My daughter was sick all last week with a fever, cough, chills, and just very weak. She missed almost the entire week of school. We went to the doctor and had a chest x-ray done as there are 5 confirmed diagnosed cases of pneumonia at her school currently, but thankfully hers was all clear. She is back at school today, so I can focus a little bit on me now. My husband has asthma, so he is always so susceptible to anything respiratory illness related, so now he has bronchitis and an ear infection - ugh! Fingers crossed everyone is recovered by Halloween! Yesterday, I finally got back to my 90 day challenge and completed the day 73 yoga, felt super good! So far today, I am back on track with logging after taking a bit of time off from that, have the day 74 workout scheduled and hope to get in my 1st run since spraining my ankle on 9/27. I've also got to go to the store to get a treat for our cat, it's National Cat day, so will pick up the ingredients for the @tiabirdie56 bloat relief water. Have a great day everyone!

10/30 = 143.3 (down .01 lbs, still up 2.3 lbs) Ended up super busy day and got neither workout nor run in, logged about half of my day, still not on track with my nutrition.

10/31 = 142.3 (down 1.0 lbs from yesterday, still up 1.3 lbs) Yesterday was a beautiful fall day in New England, in the mid 40's with a bit of a chill, my favorite running weather! I went out mid-day and got in my 1st post sprained ankle run, so happy to be a runner again Only did a little over a mile & half just to see how everything felt. My ankle was fine but felt a little twingy in my opposite knee during the run and immediately after, but all fine now. Just one of those weird mystery pains. I also got in day 75 of 90 which was 45 secs of each x 3 rounds of Wide Plie Squat with Hop, Push Up Jacks, Curtsy Lunge to Outside Knee Lift, Side Plank with Hip Drop and Knee Pull In, Triceps Dips with 3 Kicks and Dips, Jump to Side Lunge and Touch, & Single Leg Elevated Bridge Pullover w/ Weight. Feeling this workout today in my quads & booty. Excited for Halloween tonight, my daughter's middle school lets them wear costumes all day and then has a costume contest during each of the lunch periods. She is dressed as a "baby", has on a pink onesie, polka dot bib, hair in double ponies with big pink bows,& has an oversized pacifier, rattle, & bottle. For trick or treating tonight, she is going spooky as the urban legend "Bloody Mary". I'm pretty excited about my ghost costume, there is a hoop skirt involved, and a super dramatic tulle hooded cape. Our town is such a great Halloween town, wishing everyone a fun and safe evening if you are celebrating out and about tonight!

11/01 = 149.3 (up 7.0 lbs from yesterday) So, I know I did not gain 7 lbs overnight, but wow! that's a harsh number to see this morning. I normally weigh-in 1st thing in the morning, but this weigh-in was about an hour after getting up and having a cup of tea and a glass of water, so hopefully that contributed to this crazy number! But part of this is from that fact that I did overindulge yesterday with: a little Halloween candy (1 full sized Snickers bar & a 3 fun sized Laffy Taffy's), a couple of glasses of red wine, and we ordered late night pizza when we got back from Trick or Treating. I practice IF 16:8, so I normally do not eat after 6:30/7:00 but this pizza was at 10:00 p.m. + gluten & dairy which I usually limit. So lot's of contributing factor to this uptick on the scale. But today is a new day & it is a new month, so back on track. But I have no regret & will not beat myself up over this, if you can't enjoy a fun holiday like Halloween, this just won't be sustainable in the long run. Yesterday was a rest day in my 90 day challenge but I did get out and get a short run in...the good news, still pain free & my pace is right on track, so the month off due to injury didn't have me lose any of my running fitness

11/02 = 146.4 (down 2.9 lbs from yesterday, still up 5.4 lbs) So some of the scale uptick coming down. But no way all of this is coming off by tomorrow. This will be my 1st round of the 14 I've completed where I will not post a loss. It is what it is. At least I am finishing the round back on track with my logging and making good choices. Unfortunately I've now caught the sick bug that both my daughter and husband have had and feel horrible, not able to work out yesterday or today. I'm taking (& logging) my cold medicine and hoping to feel better tomorrow.

11/03 = 145.1 (down 1.3 from yesterday) Overall gain this round of 4.1 lbs. I predict all of this gain to be gone by mid-next round and then will be able see actual losses again. I'm back in a good space with my logging and nutrition choices again. Today, is my 144th day on MFP, I am committed to this process, I am committed to be being the best me I can be. Thanks for being on this journey with me, see you in Round 58! "That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do; not that the nature of the thing itself is changed, but that our power to do it has increased."

Day/Weight/Comment
10/25 / 239.8 / I’ll take it! I am so happy to be in a new weight decade.
10/26 / 239.0 / I am enjoying this whoosh while it happens.
10/27 / 238.8 / We went wine tasting yesterday (well within calories, all logged).
10/28 / 239.2 / Busy all day, didn’t eat, then Triscuits and cheese at night. Salty but within calories.
10/29 / 239.4 / Followed my plan yesterday, I noticed that after a whoosh I do this bobbing around bit before logging a new low. I’m not worried.
10/30 / 238.6 / Here we go.
10/31 / 238.8 / Bobbing around.
11/01 / 239.4 / It was not a good day. Back to plan today.

Round 56 SW - 207.4 EW - 206.8

Round 57
Oct 25 - 206.6 everything is going so well! I feel great. I hope I don’t mess it up today. I don’t have lunch or supper planned and have a Halloween dance at my daughters school.
Oct 26 - 206.2 I guess things worked out well yesterday. I found something for lunch and dinner that was within my range. At the Halloween dance there was no food which is a nice change - to go to an event that is really just about the fun of dressing up and the spirit of Halloween! Now the challenge of the weekend ahead! My goal is to try and get some time today to pre plan my meals.
Oct 27 - 207.4 I wasn’t going to post but I know by posting it will help me today. I guess I went a little overboard yesterday. It’s also the TOM so I’m hoping everything will be better tomorrow.
Oct 28 - 208.2
Oct 29 - 206.8 - I’m always amazed at how much salty foods affects my weight. One day of eating clean and drinking lots of water and it’s back down again. Feeling good and motivated to keep everything in check. Looking forward to getting a walk in at lunch. Lots of water and Sri into plan today.
Oct 30 -205.8. I don’t think this number is realistic. I had to make a rush trip to the mall last night to get my son a Halloween costume. I wasn’t expecting it and it took longer than I hoped. By the time I got home it was too late to eat dinner.
Oct 31 - 206.2. This is probably a more realistic number. My goal for today is to eat according to my plan. But the ultimate goal is to limit the Halloween goal - if I have some calories have one but that’s it.
Nov 1 - 206.4 - I guess I had too many of those delicious Halloween chocolates! Today’s goal - drink a lot of water and stick to the plan in my journal
Nov 2 - 205.2 I am surprised by this number given my weight yesterday. Is it possible to fluctuate that much in a day???
Nov 3 - 205.6 - super happy with this final number. So nice to see the numbers going in the right direction finally. So thankful for this group to help me be more accountable. See you in the next round!!

10/25 159.6

10/27 160.4 Doing the best I can. All will be fine in the long run.
10/28 150.2 (typed wrong 160.2)

10/29 157.6Back to my regular way of eating and exercising was rewarded with a drop in water weight. I am vastly relieved. It is clear to me that I can’t get too busy. And I can’t eat out. And house guest & weddings are tricky!

I also noticed that I actually did not feel good when I was over eating and eating out. So rather than feeling like I can’t eat out anything I don’t want to yet because it doesn’t make me feel good.

Lesson learned:
never stop tracking/posting (when I really was so embarrassed to)!

10/30 156.8BMI=23.5 Tummy felt thinner overnight - a nice surprise! I’m walking a ton.

25/10 Started including my trendweight as that is what I tend to use for my weekly weigh ins rather than my actual weight. I got a quick weights session in after work yesterday, before I rowed 7.5km (to the pub and back ). Today's goals are to enjoy my rest day and eat below maintenance, I take a couple of days around maintenance just before shark week to stop my cravings spiralling totally out of control.

26/10 Had a good rest day, 10000 steps but no intentional exercise and enjoyed pizza and a couple of craft beers, calories were actually under deficit total for the day, nevermind maintenance so that was a bonus. Today's goal is to stay sensible whilst travelling over this bank holiday weekend, I won't be weighing in til Monday now as I will be away in Galway

31/10 Had a lovely weekend in Galway, food/drink evened out to about maintenance over the weekend and did plenty of walking. Didn't get as much exercise done Monday & Tuesday as I'd have liked as I had to spend a good bit of time working on call. Feeling quite slovenly as a result. Hopefully the rain will hold off an I can maybe get out for a run after my weights tonight. Goal for today is to trial a 10 minute timer/breathing exercise if I get a stress craving.

01/11 Managed to stave off most cravings yesterday and came in under calorie goal. Goal for today is to get steps in and get out for a run.

02/11 Got double my steps in yesterday, got out for a (not so great) run and came in way under calories, I had a pile of veg with a very tasty steak last night and even took stuff I had planned for evening snacks back out of my diary as I just wasn't hungry, I have found that if I exercise when getting home and have a late dinner I don't snack as much/at all in the evening, so going to go back to this schedule of eating.
03/11 Had a bit of a binge yesterday but calories are fine over the week and had a good workout this morning.

I derailed myself last year undoing a lot of good work. After a long absence from myfitnesspal I am back on track. This 10 day challenge seems like something I can do. I am joining in with Round 57.

Age 59
Height 5ft 10 1/2"
Pre-challenge SW 313 lbs (started back at myfitnesspal Oct 1st. Down 15 lbs in the 3 weeks prior to this challenge).
SW for the challenge 298 lbs (I have a photo to prove it, I'll take a new one at the start of every week).
GW sometime in early 2020 195 lbs (several beautiful Italian double-breasted suits await me).

Round 57
10/25 298 lbs
10/26 297.5 lbs
10/27 297.5 lbs
10/28 297 lbs
10/29 296 lbs
10/30 295 lbs
10/31 294.5 lbs
11/01 294 lbs My cousin came over yesterday to sit with me while I manned the Halloween candy giveaway. He brought some Ruffino Prosecco with him. I had a couple of glasses (large ones if I am fessing up), and very good it was too, but that has to stop. Other than candy / doughnuts, nothing undoes the good work faster than booze. So we talked about my need to not have him enabling my counter-productive habits. He'll bring Pelligrino mineral water next visit. I expect the Prosecco will show up on the scales on Nov 2nd.
11/02 294 lbs I expected to be up but I'll take no change when set against the sparkly wine I drank Wednesday night with my cousin. I'll be really vigilant WRT unneeded carbs today!
11/03 295 lbs Blam! There is the blowback from all the residual sugar in the Prosecco sparkling wine I had the other night. Not a complete disaster but instead of getting down 5 lbs this challenge I only achieved a 3 lbs loss. Which is still good in the long run but is a clear warning that some things must be avoided all the time.

Down 3 lbs so far this 10 day challenge.
Down 3 lbs so far on challenges (I plan on doing more of them).
Down 18 lbs total since I came back to myfitnesspal.
100 lbs to go to where I want to be: 195 lbs, the weight at which I got married.

On to the next 10 day challenge with a 3 lb loss in my back pocket!

18th Round for me: Female 65, height – 5’
Last round was a tiny loss and may have a bump up from the last couple of evenings. A little stressed as I start back substitute teaching once a week for the month of Nov. Hoping to get consistently back into the 159’s or under.

Round 39 (1st for me) – SW 163, loss -.2
Round 40 – on holidays, gain +1.6
Round 41 – SW 164.4, loss -2

Round 55 – SW 159.4, +2.4
Round 56 – SW 161.9, -.3

Round 57 – SW 161.6, GW 159.8

Ultimate Goal Weight – 128; Hoping to be under 140 by end of June. This is less than 1 lb. per round but as I realize that may not be possible as I get lower (1 lb per round would put me at 131).

Day/Weight/Comment
10/25 – 161.6 – This is actually better than I expected. Off to another round!
10/26 – 160.8 -
10/27 – 160.6 – Maybe I will make it to my goal this round. Two days now of counting all calories and also watching that I get enough protein. Both help with evening snacking. I didn’t realize how slack I was on the counting till I started looking back. I had never paid attention to the protein because I am a real meat lover but because I have to watch my fat (gall bladder issues) sometimes it’s too low.
10/28 - 161.4 – Had a good day calorie and exercise wise so guessing this is just a wiggle on the way down.
10/29 - 160.8
10/30 - 160.8 Starting in next week I’m substitute teaching a class for people learning English. Going in today to pick up the binder. I used to teach this class before I retired. There are no prepared materials exactly just some guidelines. Determined not to stress myself out by leaving prep until the last minute. I have found a unit that I think will work, so off to a pretty good start. Procrastination and the resulting stress are the worst for derailing losing weight.
10/31 – 160.8 – Pretty good day yesterday, didn’t log all my food but did make a fairly low cal supper and then got busy in the evening so no snacking.
11/01 - 161.8 – Out for supper last night, didn’t seem like a very high calorie meal but maybe had lots of salt. Still hoping to get under 160.
11/02
11/03 – 161.6 – Funeral yesterday so meals very random, small but high calorie lunch and then ate some homemade soup midafternoon, light supper but hungry later in the evening. Beautiful funeral though, celebrating a long life well lived. Good to step back and reflect a bit.
