JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 59
Replies
-
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 joined with Round 57. This is my 3rd consecutive round. The less said about round 58 the better.
Age: 59
Sex: M
Height: 5ft 10 1/2"
HW: 313 lbs (reached twice, sad to say)
Pre-challenge SW: 313 lbs (started back at myfitnesspal Oct 1st. Down 15 lbs in the 3 weeks prior to round 57)
SW for the round 57 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 2020: 195 lbs (several beautiful Italian double-breasted suits await me)
Round 59
SW for this round: 297 lbs (annoyingly up 2 lbs over the last challenge)
GW for this round: 293 lbs (drop 4 lbs)
Day 01. 11/14 297 lbs
Day 02. 11/15 296.5 lbs. I'll take every small win after the last round.
Day 03. 11/16 296.5 lbs. We had dinner out last night after taking family Xmas photos. I knew as I ate the delicious Teriyaki chicken and noodles that there was too much salt for me and too many carbs. I would have been helped by eating a couple of Turkey rollups before we left the house. Or having a high-protein shake (i.e. Premier which provides 30g of protein). Then I might have sensibly passed on the noodles and picked a more appropriate (for me) main dish.
Day 04. 11/17 296 lbs. Moving slowly in the right direction.
Day 05. 11/18 295.5 lbs. Still moving they way I want it to go.
Day 06. 11/19 295 lbs. Good. I'll take 1/2 lb a day as long as I can get it.
Day 07. 11/20 294.5 lbs. Very nice! I might make my 'lose 4 lbs' this challenge goal.
Day 08. 11/21 294 lbs. Another 1/2 lb. Very good!
Down 3 lb so far this 10 day challenge.
Down 4 lbs so far on challenges (I plan on doing more of them).
Down 19 lbs total since I came back to myfitnesspal.
99 lbs to go to where I want to be: 195 lbs, the weight at which I got married11 -

ROUND 59 (Round 6 for me)
5’5” 66 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
GW 140 lb.
Started Keto WOE on September 24th (2018). Still experiencing decreased arthritis hip and shoulder pain since the second week of Keto.
Round 54 – SW 178 lb. down to 171.8 lb. (6.2 lb. loss) This was my beginning of eating keto and tracking calories.
Round 55 – Finished at 170.0 (1.8 lb. loss)
Round 56 – Finished at 165.2 (4 lb. loss)
Round 57 – Finished at 163.6 (2 lb. loss)
Round 58 – Left to travel a few days before end of round at 161.4 (2.2 lb loss)

11/20 161.0 I’m back! There’s no place like home! I only lost .4 lb in my 11 days of travel, but I could have easily gained. The boring hotel breakfasts of eggs, sausage, and, sometimes, bacon, begged for a cup of yogurt, a piece of fruit, or a pastry, but I remained strong. Three great New England seafood meals with veggies fit well into my keto WOE, but I couldn't resist a cup of seafood chowder at the No Name in Boston. I confess to eating the roll containing my lobster roll in Portland, ME, and I ate a few cookies provided by sweet church ladies. My secret prayer partner obviously knows my weakness for coconut and gave me a package of mini Almond Joys. I ate two or three, gave some away, and brought the remainder home to my husband. We did a lot of walking through museums and churches in D.C. and Boston, the Freedom Trail in Boston, Mount Vernon, the Roosevelt and Vanderbilt homes, etc. We sang and shared our message of "Sharing Jesus With Urgency" a total of 11 times as we traveled in Virginia, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. We survived Winter Storm Avery and had a couple of snowball fights. In places, the snow covered fall foliage was a beautiful sight. I'm third from the right in the pic, before snow, with the Vietnam Memorial behind us.
11/21 160.4 Thor was happy to get our walk in yesterday. While I was away, I don’t know if he missed me or the walks more. Now, I’m trying to stay calm as I make Thanksgiving meal preparations. My sister will bring the ham and some high-carb sides. I must bake a Pumpkin Cake (favorite of my husband and sister). I’ll pick up two pies I ordered from our local chef. I will cook the turkey and dressing, along with a couple of low-carb vegetable casseroles—twice-baked cauliflower and a spinach/broccoli casserole. I’ve already decided what I will and will not eat tomorrow. A sliver of pecan pie is on my “to eat” list.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/13 - 157.0 Was under calories yesterday, drank lots of water, and did all my steps. I knew most of it would come off, but I've never dropped that much overnight. Hopefully the rest will be off by Thursday and I can start again. Lol, so my overall for this round 58 - up 2 pounds. On to the next one, hopefully I will get under 155!
11/14 - 155.5 Yeah! It mostly was salt and carbs from vacation. Back down to my pre-vacation weight, I am actually down an ounce from the day I left on vacation. Back on track. Had sweet potato fries baked in the oven, baked chicken, and a little bit of mac and cheese last night for dinner. Drank tons of water and back tracking. Hopefully by Friday I will make my goal of 154 this week.
11/15 - 154.5 So I finally got below 155. I tried doing this the whole last round and never could get there. I'm sure going on vacation for 4 days didn't help, but I am there now. My salads with grilled chicken that I made Sunday night have really helped with my lunches this week. Hubby got his truck back from the shop finally last night, so that is one stress less that I have to worry about (or listen to him gripe about, lol). So far this week is a good week. I will probably hover here for a couple of days now. Always looking for that new lowest number.
11/16 - 155.5 Uuuugghhh! Back to my bodies new favorite number. I probably sabotaged myself and hopefully will be back down tomorrow, but am really starting to hate the number 155. My youngest is in the 4th grade and she had 3 tests that we had to help her study for last night. Before I knew it, it is was almost 7 and I hadn’t even started dinner. So we ordered pizza and the most amazing monkey bread ever. Lol, I have been so good with sweets, but I caved last night and had a couple of pieces along with my 2 pieces of pizza and a glass of wine. So yeah, I deserve that pound. Now to get through the weekend! Have to do all the Thanksgiving shopping and get my house ready for all the company we have coming. So should be nice and busy!
11/17 - 153.6 and I’m down. Did really well all week. Yesterday did my planned lunch and then came home and made dinner even though the hubby offered to send one of the kids to get something. Now to meet my mom and get thanksgiving shopping done. Hopefully I can make good choices today. I would love to be at 153 or even 152 before Thursday!
11/18 - 155.5 and I’m back to this number. So over seeing this on the scale. It’s 163 all over for me. That number haunted me for almost 6 weeks. I hope this doesn’t happen again. I guess we will see what happens.
11/19 - 155.3 again, did well yesterday. Have no idea why it didn't go down. Nothing really to say. Not going to get frustrated. For just coming off a weekend, I guess this isn't to bad.
11/20 - 155.3 Ate right, stayed under calories. I have a lot going on with all of the kids and trying to get ready for Thanksgiving. I was really hoping to firmly be in the low 150's this round, but looks like I will be mid 150's. Will be off with kids and the hubby for another 4 day weekend starting Thursday. The oldest will be home from college though and want to spend time with him, so not going to stress. May just have to accept my 1 pound loss for this month. It's definitely not falling off as fast now that I don't have much more to lose. Another 15 or so pounds and I will be happy. Even another 5 and I wouldn't stress it as much, but I was saying that when I was in the 160's to, so that may not be true, lol. We will see when I get there.
11/21 - 152.8 I'm not holding on to this number. I have no idea what my body is doing. I am all over the place this round. Hopefully I will even out next round. I'm going to try and stay on track today even doing the prep work for tomorrow, but Thanksgiving will be no calorie counting and just having fun. Hopefully I will finish on Friday under 155, but I am not holding my breath.

Good luck to everyone this round. My goal is to break the 185 barrier by the end of Round 59.
Day/Weight/Comment
11/14 - 185.4 - Busy day. Did pretty well on food intake. Lifted early in the morning to make up for Monday's lift that I missed and then played over 2 hours of full court basketball last night. Over 22,000 steps total on the day. We will see if I can continue to decrease from this weight over the next 10 days.
11/15 - 185.2 - Had a pretty good day. Solid calorie deficit and got a good lift in last night. A little worried that I possibly have an inguinal hernia. Getting it checked out on Monday. Hoping that isn't it because I have made pretty good progress in the weight room and really don't want to give that progress back and have to build back up if I have to have surgery. But it is what it is. Either way, I will keep working toward my goal.
11/16 - 185.4 - Had a nice deficit yesterday and actually showed self control at a Mexican restaurant, which is tough for me. Went to go workout, but was having some pain in my lower abdomen area near that possible hernia, so I cut off the workout. Hoping to have a good day today, last day of work for me for 9 days!
11/17 - 184.8 - Had a solid food deficit day and a good sleep last night. Got a light lift in. Not gonna go heavy until I see the doctor on Monday. Hope to continue the trend downward.
11/18 - 185.4 - Weighed but forgot to post
11/19 - 184.2 - Had a good day yesterday with calories and protein. Had dentist and doctor today so was out of the house and ate out for all 3 meals on the run (poor choices too, so I expect a weight jump tomorrow). Will try to get a workout in tonight.
11/20 - 185.2 - Pretty much what I expected after how I ate yesterday. Made pretty good choices today and played over 2 hours of full court basketball tonight, so I expect to see it go back down for tomorrow. Went to the doc on Monday. He doesn't think I have a hernia, instead he believes it to be a swollen lymph node. Ran some blood tests and am doing an ultrasound tomorrow morning to try to figure it out. Follow up is next Monday to go over blood work and ultrasound results. Good news is I got back in the weight room on Monday night and had a good workout, so we will see what he says. Gearing up for Turkey Day!
11/21 - 183.8 - Lowest weight yet. Did ultrasound this morning and confirmed swollen lymph nodes. After hearing that they were irregular in shape, I made the mistake of googling that and have now self diagnosed with every serious illness known to man. Will have to come back to see doc on Monday about results. Going to go workout and mow the yard after lunch. Turkey Day tomorrow!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/14 191.5. I Passed my biology midterm!!! Food yesterday was salty and so was the food today (I tried the impossible burger at a local bar/restaurant today. It was good, but not meat-like at all) I’m behind on my water right now, so I might see a bump on the scale tomorrow lol.
11/15 192. Water weight.
11/16 192. I’ve noticed that my body loves this weight, and her chaotic-neutral sister, 192.1 lol. I remember sitting at that weight for over a week once. Tomorrow is the banquet for our local silhouette rifle shooting club, and because I helped out at the cook shack during the summer, I was invited to go. So I will dress up in my new dress, wear high heels and makeup for the first time in a while, and have a lovely evening. I’ll try to remember to take a photo of me in my dress and maybe of the dinner, if I bring my phone.
11/17 191.1. Too tired to post the pictures. I didn’t take any of my food, but I’ll post one of me tomorrow. Overate, so I might be up tomorrow.

11/19 - Travel. No weigh.
11/20 - 178.6 Well, there it is. I’m singing the traveling blues. I got all my Home Depot items and trim boards. Also, shopped for all my Thanksgiving food. I even managed to pick up a few Christmas presents for two of my DGS’s. So 1.8 lbs is not all I picked up. Hair dresser appointment today for perm. I’ll be stuck in the chair with little movement for hours, but at least I can’t be stuffing my face. We have decided that our dinner will be on Sunday because my girls also have their in-laws to go to, some living quite far. I have a few days for correction on this bloat. Now, I am off to catch up on reading the posts.
11/21 - 174.6 Huge whoosh! Results of egg fast and parsley water. It still tastes like swamp water but it’s soooooooo worth it! I’m saving my carbs and calories for my Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday. Next round I will be battling it back down, but clearly it’s possible! Thrilled here.

This is my sixth round. I am starting not to freak out as much over the daily fluctuations. Went up a little bit at the end of last round, so 2.5 isn't too unreasonable. On the other hand, I've been pushing a 1000 calorie deficit for 2.5 weeks now and I think I'm going to have a slightly smaller deficit this round.

11/14 166.5 -- Phew. I was super hungry and craving sweets and honestly everything yesterday. Kept trying to have a healthy filling something and it was all subtraction stew. Jogged in place at 10 pm to finish my steps and cover my extra snacking, so still had a big deficit. Glad to see that my indulgence in a scone did not move the scale the wrong way!!
11/15 166 -- Nice to see. Interesting observation: I am doing a monthly support group with a weekly weigh in. In that group I had a 3 lb loss last week, despite only a 1 lb loss in Round 57. Then this week, having finished round 58 with a 3 pound loss, I posted a .5 pound gain. Puts things in perspective about daily fluctuations! On another note NSV--three people at the gym yesterday independently commented on how good I looked and the weight I had lost. I've lost 33 lbs since June. I don't think the first 20 were so noticeable, but now there is a difference!
11/16 165.5 -- Hungry again yesterday. Somehow the low carb hamburger casserole that I made tasted good but felt more like subtraction stew. Don't think I will make that again! Combatted the hunger by going to zumba! So I guess that was a win!
11/17 164.5 -- What a nice surprise! Hopefully it's not just that I didn't drink enough water yesterday. Forgot to drink during the day, so guzzled before bed! Had a lovely breakfast with my husband and youngest this morning. Bacon & spinach & cheese omelet. After being hungry for 3 days, I was full after half the omelet and two slices of bacon, so I saved the rest for later. Have a great weekend everyone!
11/18 163.5 -- Whoosh! Clearly I should take a rest day and sit around more often!
11/19 166 -- Celebrated my husbands birthday. So I stood around all afternoon making cake, instead of exercising. And then I ate the cake. Only half a piece....only 200 over calories (which is still less than maintenance) but clearly carby. Hopefully it goes away as quickly as it came!
11/20 165.5 -- Probably shouldn't eat the cake, even when I have calories to spare if I want this number to go down faster. Exercised a bunch yesterday.
11/21 164.5 -- That's better. (Actually, the scale showed 164 twice, this number twice...fingers crossed!) Now to keep that or go a little lower for tomorrow...and then pie. Clearly not a great plan!

Purposely committing now as this is a rough/tough time of year to stay strong! Accountability is so important!
Starting weight: 121.8
Day/Weight/Comment
11/14 - 121.0
11/15 - 122.6 / Not how I wanted it to go, but expected. How I ate yesterday directly shows how I eat when I don’t sleep well the night before. On the bright side, I slept well last night! Plan is to not eat unless I’m truly “hungry” and then stop when I’m not!
11/16 – 123.8 / I’m taking ownership of this ☹ Not the way I wanted it to go but I know a lot of it is probably water retention. It’s a mind game for me. Recommitting.
11/17 – 123.8
11/18 – 121.1 / Love how eating right gets results.
11/19 – 121.1 / Great visit with doc today – she’s an amazing woman who is an inspiration to me.
11/20 – 121.1
11/21 – 120.2 – I am looking for a non-impact exercise routine. I’d like a strength & aerobic (alternate days), but absolutely hate jumping. So many of the programs (online and DVD) have a “go-to-the-point of exhaustion” mentality and I’m not just at that point in my life any more!

This is my sixth round. I am starting not to freak out as much over the daily fluctuations. Went up a little bit at the end of last round, so 2.5 isn't too unreasonable. On the other hand, I've been pushing a 1000 calorie deficit for 2.5 weeks now and I think I'm going to have a slightly smaller deficit this round.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/14 146.6 I'M BAAAAACCCK! I was worried about weighing myself this morning because LNS took over and I ate a couple of chocolate bars before bed, on top of that I had a rest day when it came to exercising (even though Sunday was my last rest day and I usually don't have one so close to the other) but I am so happy I am back to down to the weight I was at before the weekend destroyed me. I will be getting back at it today! Yesterday I was emailed my schedule for winter, beach volleyball and it starts on Tuesday...I am so excited but so nervous, haven't played since elementary school lol so needless to say it will be a lot different and I don't want to let anyone down in case I am not the best player. We will have to see.
11/15 145.6 worked out, drank a little over 1 liter of water and ate under Calories. So far so good, just planning to keep this going throughout the whole round this time Lol
11/16 146.4 I was feeling bloated yesterday but didn't think much of it because I recorded a loss but when I woke up this morning, still feeling bloated I decided to look at my cycle calender and realized my TOM is due today. No wonder I have been craving chocolate like a mad women (although having a piece here and there I am impressed with my own will power not to go over the edge) I also developed a new craving I have never had before; peanuts, cashews, almonds etc. Thank goodness I have some unsalted, raw ones to munch on. Although they are still high in calories and fat at least im not over killing my sodium but at the same time it did result in over eating my calories by about 100 but that's ok. I also worked out and drank over 1 liter of water. This fluctuation shouldn't last long
11/17 146. 5 hours of beach volleyball for practice...maaannn I am sore
11/18 no scale -mindlessly ate break fast before weighing so opted out on the weigh in. Ever since last wekend I haven't seemed to get my food under control, I am still exercising but I need to really watch my calories, especially my fat which has been crazy high lately. TOM arrived and now that that is out of the way (precraving wise) i am looking to get everything back on track. NO EXCUSES JUST RESULTS!!
11/19 148.4 that's what happens when you mindlessly eat all weekend. Stress from my aunt being rushed to the hospital and it isn't looking too good.
11/20 no weigh in. I am a little behind on posts and other MFP updates, my aunt died this morning at 3 am. Has been a difficult weekend. I will try and watch what I eat and exercise but I am currently not caring about my weight at the moment. I will still be logging on and I will try to keep up with everything. Tonight I decided not to cancel my first volleyball match. Thought maybe getting away for a few hours would be good so I wouldn't be thinking about anything, not to mentioning couldn't hurt to hit a few balls along the way lol
11/21 147.4 volleyball was good yesterday, was able to get all my frustrations out. Today has been long, I got some shopping done but I haven't been eating well and if I wasn't eating I was sleeping. Now I am up with so much energy I might end up working out to at least combat my emotional eating. I think I am shooting for a matienence this round and when I get sick of being stuck I might just end up restart my strict plan again. My aunt's son is sixteen and every time I think of him it breaks my heart, not to mention her extremely lost husband. My family is in rough shape, especially my mom (her sister). Last night I went on Facebook for the first time all day and one of those memory reminders poped up on my screen from 8 years ago and it was a picture of my aunt blowing a kiss at the camera...i know it's not fate just because the day I posted the picture happened to be the same day she past but i still took it as a message from her, like a final good bye. It really put me at piece, even though the hardest day (saturday) hasn't happened yet. I don't mean to bum whoever reads this but if there is anything I wanted this post to represent it's thanks and love to your loved ones. After the crazy shopping, dinners and deserts are done being cooked and served please give an extra hug to each one of your family members,

Round 59
Please join us! Starting on 11/14 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 59
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.

11/14 143.9 ~ (Steps 22,368) ~ Well yesterday started out fantastic only ending going to the ER last night. I decide to buy, cucumbers, grapefruit, limes, lemons to make a refreshing water drink. While I was slicing the veggies, my hand slipped, two of my fingers, the top layer hit the blade. I’m thankful it could of definitely been worse. Unfortunately it was my left hand so my activity is limited for a couple weeks.

@abowersgirl, Right now, in your grief, you and your family talk about the wonderful person that your Aunt was. It helps so very much in beginning to ease the pain. Especially for your cousin. 💓
@GrandmaJackie, I almost cannot believe its time for the next round! I really cannot believe how fast November has gone by. Wasn't it just halloween? Thank you for the heads up!5 -

11/21 – 120.2 – I am looking for a non-impact exercise routine. I’d like a strength & aerobic (alternate days), but absolutely hate jumping. So many of the programs (online and DVD) have a “go-to-the-point of exhaustion” mentality and I’m not just at that point in my life any more!
I'm a huge fan the Darebee workouts. https://darebee.com/
You can take any of them at your own pace and only do the number of sets you feel comfortable with. Some are easier than you expect and some (like STAR MASTER), are deceptively hard, at least for me! https://darebee.com/workouts/starmaster-workout.html3 -
