JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 65

kmfeig87

@birder165 -- You are a winner! That comes out to losing more than 1.5 lbs a week, both times! The problem is in thinking it should just go faster! So glad you are feeling good and sticking with it!

@fraukazi -- Congrats on the job offer!

@SarahG626 -- Your weigh in is definitely within the scale-to-scale margin of error! Great idea to get the bell peppers to crunch on!

@puttyputty -- Thanks for the push up inspiration. I'm currently working my way down from countertop push ups to floor push ups! My goal is to get to 20 at each level before moving to a lower level. I'm excited that maybe I'll actually get to the point of floor push ups in a couple months!

@deepwoodslady -- You are doing great to be holding steady with all the stress right now! That whoosh will come!

@AR10at50 -- Nice job holding steady with no scale, pizza & pasta!

01/17 200.4 Argh..not sure what happened. Didn’t do anything outrageous, hoping it is hidden sodium, which I am sensitivet.
01/18. 198.2. Relieve! I feel it’s good to see our daily fluctuations and not to panic. Now to focus not to overdo it on the weekend, which is my downfall.
01/19. 199.2. Argh..again. I did great yesterday, but then evening came and some wine, cheese and crackers. Must learn to do better on weekends as well as weekdays!

My original weight was 228, managed to lose about 30 lbs, but then gradually gained to 209. And am now having troublet to keep below 200. I would love to be, eventually, 170.

Revised GW: 155 reached Thanksgiving 2018
Now shooting for 150 lbs to see what I look like since 153.5 is much better than 155. Curious how body will look at 150.

Should be a good round.

SW: 153.2 😁 -75.1 lbs down 3.2 to go!

1/13 155.8
Decided to enjoy the impromptu party night & am now working to get back on track. It was really fun & I actually have no regrets, amazingly. I was shocked to see the largest one day swing in my weight since I began 3+ years ago, however!!! Ever onwards!

1/14 154.8 progress...
1/15 153.2 THRILLED!!
1/16 153.2. 2 day streak, 5 of last 7 days. Keep plugging away.
1/17 151.8 NEW LOW WEIGHT, finally!
🙏🏻💪🏻🥰And so I learn again that restaurant food must have far more hidden fats in it than how we cook at home...Grateful I’ve been able to resist the urge to eat out...literally one day at a time. 🙏🏻

1/18 WOW 151.4 Another New Low Weight. 1.113 days - almost there!! 1.4 pounds!!! I’m blown away. This proves: NEVER GIVE UP, EVER! 🙏🏻😇
I took some quick measurements this AM and they even seem to be coming down some more!
“Focus on Health.”

1/19 151.2 Crazy good! I know it will stop or bounce up, but I have to say, this has been so encouraging.

HDL >50 1st time ever! Daily walking did it. All cholesterol & triglyceride labs are perfect. Low bp etc etc. parathyroid is the best it’s been, well in normal range!!! I track everything I eat Every Day.
~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~
Track Days at or under 153.4 for R65
5/7 days under 153.4
Jan 14 Decided I needed a reward (I never use them, but this seems to be the time to do so.) : When my weight is 153.2 or less for 7 days in a row, I will get a pair of new jeans, a new bra, and a top. 5/5 ❣️❣️❣❣❣
1/16 Thought it would take a week or more to get back to153.2. Glad I’ve been able to take myself out of eating out... becoming more optimistic.
This goal has really helped me get back on track!

Track days you eat all meals at home:
6/7 days in R65 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

You have accomplished great things with your health. Do keep this in mind! You are winning the war, if not each day’s battle! You are stronger & more robust than you think❣️

Day/Weight/Comment
01/13 - Didn’t weigh, had a family day
01/14 - 144lbs. stuck to calories, feeling bloated from the weekend. Had a lot of water though and no fizzy drinks.
01/15 - 142lbs. I'm a day behind as I weigh at night so update the following morning! Stuck to calories as much as I could, I made a giant stew but added everything to a recipe and tried to divide up as best I could.
01/16 - Didn't weigh as no scales
01/17 - 141lbs. It's slow but it's going down. I've been slightly over calories most of this week (around 1400 instead of 1200) and been doing a bit less exercise so it's good to know the weight still goes down! Hoping to get to and stay under 140lbs this round. Eventual aim is 125lbs.
01/18 - 141lbs. Holding steady.
01/19 - 141lbs. I have had a Chinese for dinner however I hadn’t eaten since breakfast, and have done just under 17,000 steps. I also had a bit of a shock earlier this evening so needed quick food unfortunately. I will continue.

@abowersgirl Thank you! I hope today and the weekend are better for you!!

@deepwoodslady Donna, good job getting your son dancing. I remember how reluctant our great nephew was to take suggestions for activities when he was younger. He was finally diagnosed with Asperger’s when he was about 15.

@MadisonMolly2017 I love your posts! They are so inspiring!

@quiltingjaine Thank you❣️ I know I track in curious ways, but they really help me

Round 65

01/13 Did not weigh
01/14 144.5 the weekend was not a great one, had pizza and a lot of carbs and I had a little late night snacking. Goal is to stick with intermittent fasting all week this week, even through the weekend.
01/15 144 Happy to be back down . Did good last night, I was so hungry but I did not snack.
01/16 144 I have been super exhausted.. thankfully I got plenty of sleep last night and feel so much better.
01/17 143.5 Yay
01/18 143.5 Overall this has really been a great week for me. Yesterday was a higher carb day, but I still stayed under my goal. Cravings are starting to get better. No late night snacking all week thanks to sticking to intermittent fasting. I stopped buying my favorite cereal too, I was getting to where I was eating 2 bowls every night and that wasn't good!
01/19 143.5 Holding steady, went over on calories yesterday by a couple hundred and no exercise but that's the first time all week I was over, so not stressing it. Plan for the weekend is to stay under, and no late night snacking! Have a great weekend everyone 💕.

That's a great goal! The push ups challenge I'm doing can be used for any modification of push ups, just so you know.

Or this exercise program suggests interspersing punches and push ups, and I bet that would help build up your strength. The numbers might be higher than you want right now, but I always use programs like this as a hint, not a command! https://darebee.com/challenges/pushup-ladder-challenge.html

@puttyputty Using different programs and setting other fitness goals along the way makes the weight loss more fun and interesting. Thanks for linking the pushup challenge, which also linked to the situp challenge and others.

@kmfeig87 Thank you so much for the cheerleading!! I really appreciate it! When you average it out, that really was a great loss. I won't quit this time.

StefanieBerger88

This is round 2 for me! I love doing this.
SW: 294
CW: 282.6
GW: 150ish I think I felt best at this weight.

01/13 282.6 and down a total of 11.4 pounds since Jan 1, have only eaten bad once in that time and I’m finding it easier everyday to follow my lifestyle plan. I’ve started to incorporate exercise as well so I’m hoping to really see some pounds fall off this week.

01/14 282.2 was so sick today. Ugh. I will swear to it that my humidifier made me ill but who knows. So, no exercise today and TONS of schoolwork. This semester is going to be hard especially since I’m going back to working full time. I just have to stay focused on that and losing weight. I know I can do this.

01/15 282.0 What a slow week. Still feeling pretty grungey but so much better than I did yesterday. Going to attempt a workout today. My husband got those Bluetooth boflex weights and they have a ton of exercises to do on their app. Been a long time since I’ve lifted so I certainly want to take it slow. Hope everyone else has a good day, I’ve noticed the thread has really quieted since the last one.

01/16 281.0 Feeling even better today. Did an arm workout yesterday called “Armageddon” and boy am I feeling it today. My arms are jello! Luckily all I have to do is some school work. Feeling really good about myself right now. Just, good. You know? Like I’ve finally got ahold of my life again and I know I can do this. I’m so disappointed I let myself get so out of control again but I got this.

**Just after I thought today was getting better my period comes out of no where and 9 days early which puts me at a 20 day cycle. So frustrating.

01/17 280.6 despite being super bloated. Still loosing. Attempted piyo this morning. Did about 15 min of core and the baby started crying so that was it for me. Still felt good to do it. Going to do a bit of yoga when I get home and a treadmill walk. Yesterday I was a bit incapacitated so no exercise and I did eat bad and didn’t log anything so I’m happy with my half pound loss. Also have lots of school work to do so...ugh. That too.

01/18 ?

01/19 281 not a bad eating day the last few days but drank a whole bunch of wine and vodka with my girlfriend Thursday night so I’m not surprised to see the jump up however slight. I’m hoping that in the next 3 days I can see the 270s though. I’m down 13 pounds total this month so far and I’m excited to see that but wish it happened faster. I know it’s a lot but it’s not surprising for my weight. Just ready to start feeling more comfortable in my skin again. Did yoga this morning before work and have been trying to work on a sociology paper all day literally to no avail. Ready to get home so I can concentrate in peace.

Day/Weight/Comment
‪01/13 190‬ - I’m getting back into the swings of things again by cutting out sugar & processed junk.
‪01/14 188‬ - I’m starting the day out right with some black coffee & I'm looking forward to the gym this afternoon.
‪01/15 185‬ - This week & this challenge are starting out well. I’m very pleased! No gym yesterday as I feel run down, like I’m fighting a cold. I’ve decided to pay close attention to my eating & listen to my body.
‪01/16 185‬ - No change today but I am at least feeling a little better. I think the Zicam & rest are helping. I need to drink more water as I am relying on coffee & tea a bit too much during these last few cold days.
01/17 187 - Not sure what I did “wrong” other than more water yesterday but maybe a bit too much sodium .. time to tighten up a bit more & trust the process.
01/18 188 - Things are going the wrong direction because of some water retention but it’s not too late to turn them around!! Slow & Steady!
01/19 188 - Holding Steady ... not feeling my best but I won’t give up!

First time:- Round 65
Mini mini goal - drop below 170.
Interim goal :- 164 - that puts me in 'just fat' instead of 'obese' on the BMI scale
Final goal:- 135 I was most comfortable here. For my height, that's still at the top of the range, but I felt I could comfortably maintain that without eating like a rabbit!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/13 Walked 70 mins treadmill - fatloss programme
01/14 170.6 My weekly weigh in day. Walked as above.
01/15 Had pasta for dinner . Walked as above.
01/16 171 For the first time in a very long time, I logged in just over my base of 1200 cals. And I'm surprised I don't feel any worse for it - not starving or deprived of anything. Walked as above.
01/17 170 Over my base calories but still within if I add exercise. Usual 70 mins (10 000 steps) on t/mill.
01/18 Did not weigh this morning And also my rest day. But tracked everything and was well within my range. Friday is my toughest day at work, so still got over 10 000 in.
01/19 168.8 Quite surprised but a boost. Walked 90mins on the trails today, wet and muddy after all the rain Southern Cal has had, but a beautiful cool and crisp, misty morning. Eating wasn't good tho, back in the saddle tomorrow.

UGW 125

01/13 143.8 a slight bump up, yesterday was hard. A big family breakfast and dinner and although I started out great, by the end of the day I gave in after dinner to snacks. Sheeeeesh! This is getting more and , more difficult as I go on. Work so hard to loose a little, takes nothing to gain a little. I am going to have to pre-plan for next week. I will schedule Saturdays as my rest day workout wise (there is no way to get around it) but my eating needs to be on point. I'm ok with a cheat meal here and there but it can't be on a day I don't work out
I
01/14 145.8 WHAT THE FUNK!!! I know this weekend was rough for me, I know I didn't workout yesterday, got minimal steps in and my eating wasn't the greatest but this is so dissapointing all the same. I want to say I deserve this but I also don't. I looked at my exercise log and noticed that I worked out for the last 8 days straight and managed to only maintain, yet I have two bad nights (not two whole days, just around dinner time) and my weight bumps up this much. I am getting so aggravated now. This was my number after 10 days of Christmas holidays...so like I said WHAT THE FUNK!! I am so grumpy today 😫😧

01/15 no weigh in. Woke up late jogged and some weight lifting yesterday but not much else

01/16 143.8 and back to my number at the beginning of the round. The past couple of days I have been grumpy and slightly depressed (besides this group I have been telling others I wasn't feeling well, it's so much easier then explaining depression). It demotivated me and although I did get a jog and some weight training in on Monday and yesterday had 90 min of volleyball, today I am determined to do my usual routine and get my butt back into it. I am finally sick of this number and am ready to change it. Yesterday I only got 4000+ steps (like I said wasn't feeling the greatest) but I did eat under calories and 2 liters of water. If I have trouble loosing by the end I am going to try the egg fast @deepwoodslady has been talking about.

01/17 144.4 did nothing to deserve this uptick, this is getting frustrating. +30,000 steps, worked out, ate under Calories and 1.8 liters of water. I am half determined and half annoyed. Why is this getting so darn difficult. Work out like crazy but only manage a maintain or smal gain😧😧 trying to keep my head on straight. I am usually an upbeat, motivated person but I do crash at times and when I fall, I fall. I am trying to keep going and not consintrate on the number too much. Wanted to be bellow 140s by the time my birthday hit but that came and went and I was fine.., then wanted to be bellow the 140s by my 9 year anniversary (Jan 23rd) but I am starting to think that won't happen and it is really concerning me. Sorry for whining. Just aggravated

01/18 143.6 and back down. I don't know if it's the time of the year because I had this same trouble last year around this time and maybe my body is just holding onto some fat in order to be betrer insilated for the winter. Today I realized this whole time I wasn't upset about not being able to loose, i was upset about trying so hard and to not see the scale budge at all, makes me wonder what would have happened if I wasn't trying. I guess I can finally answer the question about all the steady gains in my life and how I could have possibly let it get away from me. After these ten days it will be officially a month of no change. Thank gosh I feel better, over all when I workout or else I don't know if I would have continued sticking too it. I can feel the frustration, nipping at my willpower. My thoughts are, if I am going to gain anyway I might as well stop watching everything, weighing everything, using alternative methods for food....but I know I have to stop these thoughts dead, trying to remind myself it's about being healthy, weight loss is just the bonus. Once again sorry for the rant, i have been grumpy all week.

01/19142.0 Wow! That's all I have to say. My scale said 141.6 but after jumping on a couple more times, this came up. I am so confused, yesterday I ate so much food, I was so hungry it wasn't even funny. However I did work out good and got in a little over 17000 steps and drank 1.5 liters of water. I also took my measurements this morning and have lost 1/2 an inch almost everywhere so I am actually relieved and happy today with the results. I just hope they stick around or I can continue this steady drop over the next couple of days *fingers crossed*
