JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 64
Replies
-
I am back! I have no idea how many rounds I have done, but I need to get back on track. The last couple of weeks have been a little weird for me and I have not been great. I was hitting low days of 150/151 and high days of 155/156. So I have been all over the place. I will hit 149 this round without fail!
Day/Weight/Comment
01/03 - 156.3 uuuggghhh, almost just skipped today, but decided to log it, own it, accept it, and be accountable. I ate 2 pancakes yesterday and the carbs and sugar destroyed me. I am sure this is also the rest of my New Years day celebration repercussions to. 2 days ago (Tuesday) I was at 151. Carbs, sodium, and not enough water kill me for some reason. Oh well, back at work today for the first time in a week and going to get back on track. I am sure I will be back down tomorrow to something at least manageable. Weighing and logging daily has at least taught me not to freak out about these things. I know I could not have gained 5 pounds in 2 days, but it is still frustrating to see that number. Next week I will be back at work all week and can get back on schedule.
01/04 - 153.3 I was expecting a pretty good drop. Stayed on track calorie wise yesterday and drank a ton of water. I'm hoping to be back down to 151 tomorrow and be good through the weekend. If I can start Monday on a half way decent start I will be happy.
01/05 - 151.7 and I’m back down. I have grocery shopping and house cleaning to do today. I also need to get all my Christmas stuff put back into the shed. DH has to work today so it should be a pretty low calorie day. Yesterday was a good day. It’s so easy to stay on track when I work and have a routine. I’m trying hard to stay the course and shed these last 15 pounds this year. I’m hoping to get back to losing my 4 pounds a month like I was before all the holidays started.
01/06 - 151.7 same today. Did well yesterday. Didn’t eat the best things but stayed at calories. Got all my Christmas stuff finally put away and my house is back to normal. It’s such a nice feeling waking up and not having all the clutter. Lol. DH and all the kids will be home today. Kids finally go back to school tomorrow, thank goodness! So relaxing and getting stuff ready for them tomorrow. It will be nice to get back on routine again.

My goal for 2019 is to get into ONEderland. Changing my life.
SW: 245 (R63 starting 12/30/2018)
End R63: 245 (0 loss; lowest 244.4 & avg 244.7 over the 4 days)
Round 64 FIRST full 10 day round!
R64 my focus will be to not break my tracking streak since 12/28 and being active every day in some way shape or form! Get up out of the chair from work, reading or tv and MOVE! Goal is to reach 240-243 and make it stick.
01/03 - 244 - I guess yesterday’s bounce up was the fluke as I’m starting today’s round a pound lower! Rain and did not follow through with indoor bike.
01/04 - 244.4 - Yesterday reflection on the bump on the scale. Well deserved due to some choc cake and wine at bunco. Positive note. Stuck to raw veggies and lunchmeat at bunco to offset and tasted but did not eat the whole piece of cake! No exercise. Did not get up from chair during long day at work. Craved chips around 5 after work and gave in… tried carrots but then caved limiting the damage counting out the chips… slapping my own hand. 2 days back at work and again losing focus on exercise Wed & Thurs! This cannot continue!!! Prioritize yourself over work. Today’s challenge will be 1/2 day work then driving 7 hours today for a funeral tomorrow. Then turning around Saturday and driving home. Take clothes for the hotel gym.
01/05 - @ hotel no scale; followed through with my commitment and went to the hotel fitness center at 6am! 45 min on a bike hoping that it will make up for any damage from mexican food the night before. The rest of today will be funeral, combined sit down lunch/dinner after funeral with the large family then driving back from Arkansas to Texas.
01/06 - 247 - hoping this is sodium and just not moving much over the past couple of days traveling. We’ll see. Today walking around boat show and eating mindfully. AND drinking water.

Caught up on a few posts.
@kristawalkins52 and @CathieMW Welcome to you both and all other new folks out there. You are going to love this challenge offered by @GrandmaJackie
@IsMollyReallyHungry Thanks for the spoiler. It came just When I Needed It Most.
@aFit50 I absolutely ADORE reading your posts. Thanks for bringing a little humor into it for us all! 278 pounds of pure weakness? Love the way you worded that.....too funny. I suppose I once was 253 pounds of gimme chocolate. LOL Also, in regards to the soup.....you are right, if he made it, you better eyeball each spoonful first before putting it in the piehole. LOL I hope you have a great Sunday, soup & all.

Day/Weight/Commen
01/03 143.8 the woooosh train has arrived, mind you I had a ton of energy yesterday (which are the days I absolutley love😍😍) so ended up jogging over 3 miles, walking over 30,000 steps and pretty much worked out right up until bed. I drank 1.6 liters of water and was way under calories...but even if I had worked for this drop, I am still shocked it happened over night. Today although, has so far not been as good. Because of yestedays workout craze, I was sore as heck! My steps are over 10,000 but otherwise I haven't worked out..yet. Once I am finished posting, I am planning at least a 1.5 mile jog (indoor because of how cold and late it is) and hopefully another routine right after..maybe strength...maybe an additional cardio.. maybe both. I will see how I feel when I am done. 1 liter of water and hoping my little workout will bring me to a maintenance calories wise because so far, I am way over lol. We will see
01/04 144.8 a small bump but i deserved it. LNS got to me 😥 16,005 steps
01/05 143.6 and back down, 22, 748 steps and worked out like a mad women.
01/06 144.6 TOM arrived last night so I am hoping this is just a bump of bloat, which I am definitley feeling. I am back....again lol. I planned to post every night but I have recently joined a lot of MFP groups that require end of the day posting so I think I will just do what I always did to begin with, post in the morning about the previous day. So the scale is moving slowly and I expected this after the holidays, I am hoping for a mini whoosh once this bloat dies down though. Today I am planning on hopefully getting to the grocery store. For meals it's been pretty good, sticking to healthier options but snack wise has not. Still have a crazy amount of treats floating about and every time I think my family has made a dent, I find another box or tin of something and the worst part is I am running out of veggies and fruits to eat so I don't go running to the cookies. Exercise this past week has been great but my eating could be a lot better

My first round
5’6, female, 38 years old
SW: 210.2
GW: 145ish
1/03: 207.8
1/04: 207.2
1/05: 205.8 - I suspect a lot of this loss is water weight as I have been refraining from alcohol and drinking ~100oz of water a day
1/06: 205.6 - Had planned a day off of working out yesterday, but then got invited to a friend’s to watch football, so hit the gym for a quick workout beforehand to earn some extra calories. They ordered pizza for dinner, and had beer cheese fondue, of which I ate both
. I did refrain from drinking alcohol though, which is hard around these friends, so I feel proud for that. I was still under my calorie goal, but only drank 72oz of water (my goal is 100oz each day.) So, overall a fine day, but I could have made more nutritious food choices.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/03 185.5 Stuck in the depths of a living hell with my scale, however, I successfully stayed on course with my diet and exercise plan. I am THRILLED to report that my son joined me in the aerobic dancing and agreed to follow his special diet plan WITHOUT COMPLAINT. Because of his eating disorders (due to the Autism) I felt truly inspired. If he can do this so gracefully, so can I. And so I succeeded in all my efforts. I just wish the scale would budge. Metimucil tonight for sure (Intermittent Fasting today). I am going to skip pool tonight. It is a potluck feast and I’ve had enough of those in December to stuff a pig : ) I need this good jumpstart to get things going. I also need to return the gesture and be the inspiration that my son deserves. Good luck everyone on #64.
01/04 185.4 It’s a small change, but a change nonetheless. Last night I invited my old friend Joey over to watch Christmas movies. I really wanted to enjoy the last of the twinkling Christmas Tree and to show myself that life is good even when I cannot indulge or overeat. He constantly claims to be “on a diet” and is using the calorie counting method only. He asked me if he could bring icecream or popcorn for a snack during the movie. I told him no. Please eat before he comes as I am restarting my plan, am struggling with willpower and need to stay on track to get my body jumpstarted. He showed up with a share-sized bag of some type of chips (looked like maybe a flavored Doritos ?) and soda pop. I told him that if he wanted to go home and finish eating before he comes (like I asked) to go ahead, he could come back in awhile. Otherwise, I asked him to put his food in the car. I told him he could keep the soda if necessary or I had water and some sugar free options available. He kept the soda. I was a little ticked about the whole thing and was brutally honest with him. I’m not sure if it was sabotage, selfishness or stupididy, but I know I was very clear that I didn’t want to have any snacking while I’m still very fragile. It was only 2 hours and I knew he could have came pre-fed. I had already explained to him about how eating carbs so consistently through the holidays put me in a state of cravings, weakness for carbs etc. I spent the evening trying to be nice in spite of my feelings. While he sipped on his soda I made myself a miracle tea. My own homemade concoction of green tea, lemon, ACV, stevia, red pepper flakes, turmeric powder with a touch of black pepper for absorption, and I added a bit of parsley sprigs to it while steeping. It felt like an exotic drink and I enjoyed it. I let it calm me and help me get over my touch of anger. We watched “The Christmas Chronicles” with Kurt Russell which was better than I expected. In the end I was proud of myself for staying strong and showing up for myself. I’ve known him many years so that did help. I am not strong like this everyday, but I truly want to stay strong in my own home & environment as that is where I spend 80-90% of my time (I work from home). Sorry for the rant, but how dare he?
01/05 185.4 AGAIN. A little disappointed in this. I walked 5.5 miles yesterday including a planned walk inside the school of 2 miles. Ate way below calories at 977. Net carbs of 19. Over 12,000 steps. I was a little low on all my macros because my calories were a bit too low. However, for the amount of calories I ate, my protein, fat etc was right in balance with my goals. I guess I will just have to wait it out. My body’s a little angry with me right now perhaps. Walt Disney and Cinderella taught me long ago not to worry, my whoosh will come true at some point
01/06 184.6 I’m in the red! I’m in the red! I’m showing a loss! Now if I was in the red in the stock market (again) I’d be a little worried, but in my weight?, HOW SWEET IT IS! In fact, it is sweeter than all the desserts I could imagine today! I love it when I’m feeling so strong & capable! Happy Sunday everyone.

Crept back to JGM10D quietly and somewhat inconsistently in Round 60 but now I am back (for reals!)
1/3 - 132.8 - 8000 steps yesterday and under my calorie goal, currently set to -.5/week
1/4 - 131.8 - 7K steps, 12 minute vigorous row, and under calorie goal yesterday. Also 12 hours of work... went back late evening to after midnight, life of a sysadmin, then keyed up and couldn't sleep much. Today is a day to beware and not blow it!
1/5 - 131.0 - 8K steps and just under calorie goal yesterday. Got a great night's sleep but still feeling a little transparent. Love a rainy day. Good for taking care of myself.
1/6 - 132.6 - expected bounce and no worries! 15K steps yesterday including a huge rainy walk run with my dog, under calorie goal.

Round 64
Please join us! Starting on 01/03 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 64
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.

01/01 - 145.1 ~ (Steps 19,253) ~ I decided to reset my ticker, I’m 3.3 pounds heavier the last New Years but I call that a win. Plus I realize that Round 63 is still going but I need to start focusing on the New Year now. Today I went to a Boot Camp class at the gym, love it....
01/02 143.5 ~ (Steps 12,635) ~ We do anything special yesterday, my husband watched football so I got a couple sessions at the gym. My son was supposed to stop but didn’t, on the bright side on News Years Eve he announced his engagement. My baby is getting married, okay he’ll turn 31 but he’ll always be my baby,
My future DIL is adorable such an adorable couple.
01/03 144.4 ~ (Steps 22,887) ~ Another successful day even though the scale is up. I was able to not have a snack last night, which is a win,
01/04 - 145.2~ (Steps 10,196) ~ Unexpected weight gain, lol
01/05 - 145.6 ~ (Steps 19,510) ~ I did sync my new scale so I’m okay with
01/06 144.8 ~ (Steps 9,510) ~ I took my grandkids to the Hands On Kids Museum since my daughter had to work, we had a blast. Plus I slept like a baby hanging out with 8 and 4 year old during the day, I’m loving the honesty my scale is having on my journey. Today my main focus is continuing on healthy food choices.....

25th Round for me: Female 65, height 5’
This round is turning out to be a real struggle but feel like I’m doing some good work getting started on things I should have done a long time ago. That means working through things, which in the short term is stressful (more likely to overeat) but in the long term will be beneficial – therefore help my weight loss. So right now am “walking through the swamp.” Thanks to FarmerCarla for link: https://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/The_Movie_Chair/view/walk-through-the-swamp-959755Round 39 (1st for me) – SW 163, -.2Round 64 – 161.6

Goal this round: to at least see some 159s. I was down here in Oct. and having so much trouble getting back there. Right now even ½ lb. per round would seem great. My short term goal is to be down at least 6 lb. by the end of March. That is just .7/Round but for me would be great progress.
Ultimate Goal Weight – 128; Hoping to be under 140 by end of June.
Day/Weight/Comment
01/03 – 162.2 - Did not post as I had not got around to setting up this Round. I did weigh though.
01/04 – 163.6 – Yesterday started out great but ended in disaster with RJ’s chocolate licorice twists. Thurs. I have knitting group in the morning which is always fun but get groceries in the afternoon which I never feel like doing … and then I buy something for a treat “now & then” only it often ends up being now. The other part of the disaster was that I had determined to do some planning, but I don’t feel like doing it. Well, I’m going to start on it today anyhow, whether my childish self feels like it or not.
01/05 – 164.4 – Scale was determined to say this although it seems odd. Thursday I was probably 450 calories over but the rest of the week has been good. No gym yesterday but calories were good. Today I have no car but doing exercises at home and also have to clean house so a more active day.
01/06 – 164.4 – Not so great yesterday but did log all. Determined to log all for the next 3 months. I tend to get slack with the evening meal and just make a rough guess – usually too kind to myself but sometimes I think I’m way over and actually I’m not.

SW 373.4 – Round 64 (1/3/19)
GW 362 – Jan 31st
GW 299 – End of 2019 (6.2)
Day/Weight/Comment
01/03 373.4 - on WW a healthy day is a blue dot day. So far I am having a blue dot day And it is looking like I will get to my 7000 step goal today also.
01/04 371 – yesterday was not a blue dot day but I made some good choices -- not a lot of processed foods, and I made my 7000 step goal. I was up yesterday because of salt eaten the previous day, so I attribute the 2 pound loss to water I drank to rid my body of the salt. Either way I will take it Since I always 
seeing the scale going in the right direction!
01/05 372.6 – yesterday not good. Got in a small 15 min walk but only 6000 steps and overate. Today is another day. Weekends not good for me. Today I have a funeral, eating out with a cousin from FL. But I have a plan. I weigh in at WW Monday so I need to lose at least a pound by Monday
01/06 no weigh in – 7000 steps & 20 min Leslie Sansone DVD

01/02 - 192 - I know this is a day early, but I needed to start ASAP. Yikes! Those holidays really added up.
01/03 - 190.4 - I know these first pounds are water, but it’s nice to see the scale move.
01/04 - 189.7 - I stayed low carb all day yesterday even through the cravings.
01/05 - 190.6 - I knew my weight was up when I woke up this morning and couldn’t get me rings off. I was too high on carbs yesterday, but it’s ok. I’ll clean it up today and drink a lot of water.
01/06 - 189.7 - Did pretty well with food and water yesterday but still woke up feeling dehydrated. I have been trying to make sure I get lots of water today and stay low on the carbs.

@hoshaugh73 I'm a little jealous. I love to roller skate, but haven't done it since I was 60. I'm still tempted, but I've decided I'm too old to take the fall risk. Some of the little kids are dangerous and don't watch where they're going. The 5 minute plank is a good accomplishment--I may be able to work up to that without hurting myself. You're doing great!5 -
Round 64
Female, 42, 5'5"
Day/Weight/Comment
01/03 160.0 Got in 58 minutes of strength training this morning. Tried to run after work, but my knee is not fully cooperating yet. I'm very sad about that as running is my therapy and helps me keep weight off. Sigh. It just started bothering me on Monday -- I think I banged it too hard coming down to the floor during a workout. I'm hoping it gets better by Saturday as I'm supposed to run my first 5K of 2019.
01/04 158.2 YEEESSS!!! Was so happy to see the scale moving in the downward direction! Now just NOT to screw this up over the weekend ...
01/05 157.2 WOOOOT!!! I'm over the moon the scale is still going down. Now just not to screw it up this weekend and gain anything back ...
01/06 159.2 W...T...F...!?!?!?! This was literally the best Saturday I've had in a long time -- no sugar, no over eating, was under my calories. Ugh. However, we did go out for Mexican food for dinner -- I ate half of my chicken fajitas (just meat and veggies, no tortillas, just over rice) and 12 (yes, I counted them!) chips and felt super bloated after. In fact, I drank a ton of water yesterday and about 40 oz of water so far, and have barely gone to the bathroom. So I'm attributing this to a lot of water retention. I'm really hoping this breaks soon -- so disappointing!

@IsMollyReallyHungry Thanks for the spoiler. It came just When I Needed It Most.
@aFit50 I absolutely ADORE reading your posts. Thanks for bringing a little humor into it for us all! 278 pounds of pure weakness? Love the way you worded that.....too funny. I suppose I once was 253 pounds of gimme chocolate. LOL Also, in regards to the soup.....you are right, if he made it, you better eyeball each spoonful first before putting it in the piehole. LOL I hope you have a great Sunday, soup & all.
@corriepelc Congrats on hitting the 150's.
Thanks so much my friend!! And the soup turned out great only because I made it, lolol ~ actually all I'm eating today with lots and lots of water and tea! Hoping to flush this bug out by tomorrow. Hope you're having a lovely day!6 -

01/03 = 160 So far so good with my eating. I kind of hate being back on the wagon, but the day is almost over, so very little opportunity left to fall off.
01/04 = 158.5 very happy to see the scale move in the right direct for the first day, even if I know, intellectually, one day's change is pretty meaningless. Today was a good day for moving and good for eating. I found my lost fitbit and stuck it on the charger so I can be more accurate with sleep and step tracking.
01/05 = 158.1 Yesterday was a good day. Hit all my water in and didn't snack late night, even though I really wanted to. Today will be tougher because we are going to a brewery for lunch with friends and they don't have nutritional information available. I have to guess.
01/06 = 157.1 restuarant visit yesterday went well. I'm doing a dry January, so even though we ate at a brewery, I avoided the most dangerous part of eating out. Also, the food was mediocre, so didn't kill me to eat less that usual. I worked out and did yoga. Drank ridiculous amounts of water. I also took a look at my macro nutrient ratios in the app and adjusted them. Yesterday was my first day of being mindful of my ratios (especially eating enough complex carbs... I had to go searching for them)

Hi @Astrue - I am also a mom to two young kids, and I am doing dry January. Most of my excess calories in the past have definitely come from my evening glass(es) of wine or beer. Anyway, just wanted to say hi and that I’ve enjoyed your posts so far!

@FarmerCarla I adore roller skating too! It is dangerous though, especially on a busy Saturday night! My younger son fell and hurt his tailbone, hoping he heals quick! I decided to have my 46th birthday party at the skate rink in May, thinking of a 70s theme. :-)
The plank was the end of a month long challenge, slowly building up to the grand finale 5 minute plank!5 -

Day/Weight/Comment
01/03 - 150 (-0.4 from yesterday, -0.4 from round start) Woot! I did great on water and though we got pressed for time and ended up eating out last night, we did Chipotle. And I saved half for leftover lunch for the next day (today). Allowing myself a total laze about day today. Tomorrow - elliptical, here I come. Hoping to keep the downward trend, though ToM is looming and so we'll see. (It usually means a short bump up, or at least harder fight for a loss, for a few days.)
01/04 - 150 (-0.0 from yesterday, -0.4 from round start) Did well on water and on food yesterday, and so far today too. Also got a 25 minute walk in this afternoon. Hopefully this will bode well for tomorrow's number.
01/05 - 149.6 (-0.4 from yesterday, -0.8 from round start) Woohoo! Although today is my youngest's birthday, so I'm sure it won't be as good food-wise. It's gorgeous outside though, so I'm sure we'll spend time outdoors & active.
01/06 - 150.0 (+0.4 from yesterday, -0.4 from round start) Did get to spend about an hour yesterday outside, chasing the kid around on the playground. So not dedicated exercise, but definitely activity. ToM did arrive though, so between that and a little splurge due to birthday celebration, I'm not surprised to see a hop up. Pretty encouraged that it's small.

01/03 - Thursday - 177.4 - Man, its incredible how quickly things snowball! My holiday indulgences have done a number on my habits. I've got all these cravings and little desire to stick to my habits. I know this too shall pass but its currently an uphill battle. Fortunately this time, I know its not the beginning of the end, just another opportunity to hone my skills and habits and learn a little along the way. In past attempts, these stumbles were the end of my journey but not this time - its really a lifestlye change finally!!!
01/04 - Friday - 176.4 - A mildly better day yesterday. I ate fast food at lunch because I was on my own and didnt bring anything. Then I had more fast food for a snack. But I went for a power walk before I left work, and ate a light dinner and it all worked out. Baby steps. I did pack my lunch today, but minimal stuff in the house for food tonight - maybe an aldi shop tonight? Why is it so hard to remember how to eat in healthy moderation all of a sudden? Time to take a look back at my diary and refresh.
01/05 - Saturday - 175.8 - got to Aldi last night, love their pantry staples! Got a plan today to drink my smoothie, have salad for lunch and eat the proper portion size of whatever we decide on for dinner!
01/06 Sunday - 176.6 - Weekends are still looking like a holiday celebration. Back to work and habits tomorrow!

Heaviest Weight: 213
Recent Start Weight: 193 (January 2017)
I’ve been in maintenance for several months until the holidays, content at around 146. I am now OVER the point at which I didn’t want to be again (150), so I’ll be getting back on track to lose back down to at least around 146 or so. May try to go lower in the new year, but we will see. For the immediate future, I just want to get and stay back under 150.
Goal for round 64= 149.x
Day/Weight/Comment
01/03= 152.6
01/04= 151.8 Slowly headed in the right direction. I’ve really been doing better, but the scales are hard to move. I have been moving my body an incredible amount, really, but the scales are not responding as desired…yet! (The power of YET!)
01/05= 151.8
01/06= 152.0 Last couple days of vacation, so it’ll be back to routine tomorrow.15 -

Round 64-My first round!
Day/Weight/Comment
01/03 - 170.7 lbs - I’m 62 and live in southwest Missouri, USA. Wife of a country boy. Raised in the city, now a country girl. Mom of two adult girls. Grandmother of two. Very happy to be part of this group.
01/04 - 169.9 - My 40th wedding anniversary is August 11! That’s 31 weeks away. I would love to get down to the weight I was on my wedding day. I think it was around 125. That would be a great present to my husband and myself. If I lose a pound a week I can be 138.9. Even that would be awesome.
01/05 - 169.2 - I over indulged today. It’ll probably show on the scale tomorrow. But then again, I was holding onto some water weight and I think that is gone today. Ok, I have no idea what to expect in the morning! I also didn’t work out today. I had to work extra and run errands. I have to work on making my myself a priority.
01/06 - 169.2 - Held steady! That'sgood. Goals for tomorrow are to drink 80 oz water, reach my step goal of 8500, complete my strength workout, stay under my calorie goal, and log everything.
