JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 65

Soccrr99

Keeping up with intermittent fasting 16/8.

EW Round 64: 189

Day/Weight/Comment
01/13 - 189.5- didn’t make the best food choices before bedtime. Bread at dinner seem to really mess with my morning weight. Also ate Ben and Jerry’s right before my eating time was over..
01/14 - 189.5 more bad choices. I need to keep track of food again. I was trying to do this without tracking but I need the accountability
01/15 - 187! I kept to my calories and NO SUGAR SWEETS!
01/16 - 186.5 loving this program. I’m not even hungry on off hours anymore!
01/17 - 188 hmm.. I actually didn’t eat enough yesterday and felt sick this morning. Not sure how this number came up. Won’t let it get me down. I hope to be at 185 by 1/22!
01/18 - 188.5?! Wth... maybe lack of water?
01/19 - 188 no clue, I drank a little more water but still feeling under the weather. But then again, I’ve been sleeping terribly- maybe that’s what’s causing it
01/20 - 186 alright, back on track 👍
01/21 - 187 ate some chocolate for the first time in a while.. wasn’t worth it!
01/22 -

First time here at this challenge!!
Thanks for having me!

SW 190

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!
01/20 188 - No weigh in
01/21 191 - I’m owning this! I could give so many excuses but it’s just not necessary. I didn’t take care of myself this weekend & the scale shows. Tomorrow will be better!

@MadisonMolly2017 I need a jumping up and down for joy emoji for you! WTG girl friend!!

@abowersgirl Yes, I definitely think we should look back 2-3 days for an unexpected gain or loss. I’m not even sure increased salt impacts me immediately. That is part of the reason I love these challenges - I’m tracking my food (most days) and my weight and I can look back and make the correlation.

Goals for Round 65 -
* Under 1900 calories each day
* Track all food and steps
* Run 7 days above 2.5 miles
* Add 5 days of weight workouts
* Get to and stay under 200!!!

1/13 - 203.1 (1,387 calories, 10,692 steps): Solid day. Tracked all food. Stayed away from the dinner/night binge. A little too high on the carbs which showed blood glucose in the 140-150 range for long periods of the day. Did not workout so I need to improve there. Better things for today!
1/14 - 204.3 (way too high on the calories, and way too low on the steps): The dinner/night binge got me. I'll get it today. Going for a perfect day today! Good luck to everyone.
1/15 - 202.8 (~1,900 calories, 8,647 steps): Back in the right direction. Decent day. Need to get my treadmill game back on. Will try to get on it tonight or get a long walk in while waiting for kid's activities. Keep the momentum going.
1/16 - 200.7 (~1,600 calories, 17,564 steps): A good day. Got in a 30 minute and 50 minute brisk walk. Need to get back on the treadmill and hit the weights again. Received my A1C results which were 6.2%. My doctor will be happy, but I want to get it under 6. A new 3 month goal for A1C. Glad to see the scale go in the down direction. Good luck to everyone as we hit the hump of the 10 day challenge!!!
1/17 - 202.3 (did not track all calories, 11,417 steps): The slice of pizza got me! The one thing I was proud is that it was only one slice, and not 3-4. Keep on, keeping on. Here is to a good day for everyone!
1/18 - 202.9 (did a cheat meal, 9,417 steps): I was happy I did not turn the cheat meal...into a cheat day...into a cheat week...into a cheat month....and just giving up. I need to get on the treadmill. Going to make sure to work out all weekend. Love this forum because it keeps you accountable everyday and manages the ups and downs.
1/19 - 203.8: Blah on everything. Back at it today! Only a few days left in this round and I really want to hit that goal of under 200. Under 200 and stay there!!! Good luck to everyone this weekend. We got this!
1/20 - 202.5 (did not track calories, 4,622 steps): Okay day. Ate fairly well, but not a lot of movement. Need to get on that treadmill. I will do it!
1/21 - 203.9 (did not track calories, 9,122 steps): Got hit by the late night meal. Need to do better with managing eating late. On the positive, ran 2.5 miles on the treadmill. I want to finish this round strong! I am very happy that I am keeping my weight in the 200-205 quadrant. That has not slipped.

OSW: 252

Round 65 SW: 216.4

1/13—216.6—Excellent. I was afraid yesterday's number was a fluke and that I'd bounce way high again. Yesterday, at the very end of round 64, I managed 31 push ups. I'm nearly 1/3 of the way to my end of year goal of being able to do 100 push ups in a single set. Losing more weight would likely help me with that goal!

1/14—219—Least shocking spike ever. I didn't eat well yesterday but had a true salt fest.

1/15—217—It'd be interesting to see where this number would be if I could stop eating salt-laden snacks. Bah!

1/16—218.4—I have no explanation other than a slightly earlier weigh-in. Huh! Still, I'm feeling pretty good.

1/17—218.2—Hmm hmm hmm. This round has been a puzzle. Work is very hectic right now, but I like being busy. I'm not eating terribly, but it's not spectacular either.

1/18—216.6—Back to the first day's weight. Yesterday, after I did another round of my push ups challenge, I realized that I had just done 100 push ups in around 10 minutes (they were staggered across 8 sets, with 1 minute breaks between sets). I'm getting close to my goal!

1/19—216—Still not a perfect eating day yesterday, but it was better! I've started a new 30-day Butt and Gut challenge. Not high-intensity but something to keep me doing some strength/core exercises every day.

1/20—216.6—The push ups challenge had me do 120 pushups in about 15 minutes last night. My arms felt incredibly weak after that! I went bowling this morning and I could feel some stress in my shoulders. I cut it short to be safe. But I bowled really well!

1/21—215.6—Excellent! This has been a nice round for me. I hope anyone in the US with the day off is able to spend it in refreshing and rejuvenating ways.

5’5, Female, 53 years old
OSW 187 Sept. 2018
UGW 135
Current weight 172

My goals this round- get to into the 160’s!!!!!!. Drink lots of water and make exercise a priority.
1/13-170 I got a good downward swoosh!!! I so badly want to get into the 160’s.
1/14-171 a swoosh up. Back in the day, in my 20’s I could pretty much lose a pound a day if I exercised and starved myself.Its a whole different ball game now!😂
1/15-171 Dinner out with the quilters, I made wise choices but it was salty. Non stop rain; the dogs and I want to walk.
1/16-170 Went to the movies; took my own popcorn with real butter and sea salt -absolutely rewarding. Today I travel to MIL’s for a couple of days; hopefully I can get out and walk and avoid all of the bread and potatoes that are there.
1/17-No Scale
1/18-No Scale
1/19-170 Whew! While I was gone, we ate pizza out and had pasta and French bread, usually I just throw in the towel and continue to eat like a pig when I get home. I stayed on track as best as I could and think I can hit the 160’s this round.
1/20-172 A swoosh up after good choices of salty lunch yesterday and not enough water. Tomorrow should be better.
1/21-168-Finally!!! A swoosh down and I am into toe 160’s! I am excited! I have not had time to exercise because I am packing to move, bu I am making wise food choices.
1/22
I am so glad you are all here!!!! Good luck!!!! 😊

Round 65:

SW- 154 (but this is high)
Goal for round- <150
UGW- 135

Why these goals:
My body feels right. Clothes feel good. And the aches and pains seem to be kept at bay. I am able to complete much more when I am on point with my eating and exercise.

Obstacles:
Work stress is at an all-time high right now. I've got to take the time and prioritize my healthy lifestyle so that I can keep head above water and stay positive.

What I'm going to focus on to get to my goal:
1. Water- 64 oz/day minimum
2. Exercise- 30 minutes/day minimum
3. Food- Processed sugar and alcohol free.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/13- NWI. Sledding for exercise. Anxious eating (aka chips and large quantities). I think I had a glass of water.

01/14-154. Water retention from the various processed foods over the weekend. Walked with Leslie at lunch. Played racket ball with the boy last night. Sugar in the form of fancy chocolates and caramel popcorn made it into my diet. Net calories were 0. Water intake was fair.

01/15- 153.5. Still feeling bloated. Fingers feel like sausages. Morning workout with Jillian. Good eating day. No sugar/chips/nuts/alcohol. Net calories - 456. Water wasn't quite where I'd like, but better than what it has been.

01/16- 151. Bloat is gone. YAY! Now to stay focused. Morning workout with Jillian. Food was good. No sugar/chips/nuts/alcohol. Net calories: -200. A bit stressful at bed.

01/17- 153. What the heck?!? Took the morning off from exercise. Got to find some time outside today. Winter blues are setting in.

01/18-20 Lego State Championship. Out of element. Lots of driving and down time.

01/21- 156. Weekend away and the pounds stay. Typical since things were not on track this weekend. Exercise this morning. Food packed.

Day/Weight/Comment/10-day calorie ave

01/13 - 138.8 - 1683
I've decided to stop obsessing about calories, at least for this round, and to focus on macros (approx. 20% P, 30% F, 50% carbs, mostly veggies, fruit, and whole grains) plus exercise, meditation, fun, community, and sleep. Although I'd like to weigh about 10-12 pounds less, I'm at a healthy weight and feel good, so as maintenance or slow loss, I'm happy either way.

01/14 - 140 - 1706
Sodium yesterday, and not enough water. Back on track today.

01/15 - 139.2 - 1691
Yesterday was a good day. I was on track with food, although my macros were off (too much fat, not enough veggie carbs), and I had a great 90 minute workout at the Y - walking, weights, bike. I love the Precor video bikes - I rode up a mountain in the Italian Alps! I'm making gluten free crab cakes for lunch -- mmmmmm!

01/16 - 138.2 - 1701
That's better. I ate responsibly yesterday and did an hour+ on the bike.

01/17 - 139 - 1724
I'm sticking to my exercise program, but not so much to my calorie goals. I clearly reset my sugar cravings over the holidays! But I'm working on it....and today is a new day. Reset!

01/18 - 139.2 - 1969
Gaaa! I don't know what's wrong with me lately. Ate too much. It was all good, healthy food, just too much of it. Off to the gym, and stocking up on veggies for big snow that's coming tomorrow.

01/19 - 139.2 - 1532
We're snowed in today, so I'm planning house stuff - rearranging some furniture, cleaning, cooking....maybe a nap!

01/20 - 139.6 - 1736
It's MUCH colder today -- 14F, windchill -2. Glad I shoveled yesterday while it was in the balmy 20s! We're staying home, so I've spent the morning doing things I usually don't. Stay warm and safe, those of you also getting pounded by snow, ice, and c-c-c-cold!

01/21 - 139 - 1574
Even colder today - last time I checked it was -10F. But tomorrow it's going to be warmer! I'd really like to get to the gym today, but might stay home to write and paint (art, not walls). And to keep my kitten, Stirling, out of trouble - he's a real corker this morning!

@prehistoricmoongoddess I had to chuckle at moving the scale. My DH pushes ours toward the wall every day and I move it out and line it up, fairly precisely, with the floor tiles when I weigh. He doesn’t “get” it but then he’s never had a real weight issue.

@tlgale I started to write a couple of things but don’t know much about you. Do you have friends? You should get out and do something you enjoy. Do you read? Join a book club. Sew? Take a class. I belong to the local quilt guild although I don’t actually quilt. I do love to piece quilt tops and used to make all of my own clothes as well as those for our daughters. I’m getting back into that. I would just as soon be a homebody but my DH says he has to get out of the house every day so I go with him, even if it is just a short drive around town.

Would someone explain “Sunday roast dinner” for me? Is this a UK “thing?” And why is it always the explanation for a gain?

zimborunner

Definitely committing for the next round...this accountability has been great for me - thank-you for all being here!

First time:- Round 65
Mini mini goal - drop below 170. ACHIEVED
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.
01/20 169.2 Walked 90 mins on trails again - beautiful day! Tracked calories, stayed within, but again too much sodium
01/21 168.6 Walked treadmill 'fatloss' program (kicks my butt) 70 mins. Rained again last night, trails will be too wet. But day off for me, so cleaning house too

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.

1/12 129.5
::::::::::::::::::
01/13 129.5 Fourth day in the 129.x range. Today DD#2 turns 46. She was 3 weeks early, according to the doctor. At 7# 9 oz, I’m glad she didn’t wait! The doctor thought it was false labor and told Carl to give me 3 aspirins and a cup of strong tea. Before I finished the tea, the cramping was about every 3 minutes. Carl called the doctor and the doctor said the emergency room would be waiting for me! Someone was at the door to whisk me away while Carl took DD#1 to the sitter 2 blocks away. By the time he got back beautiful DD#2 had arrived. 21 minutes from door to done! I always thought it was interesting that DD#1 was born at 5:08 and DD#2 was born 5 hours and 8 minutes later (plus 2 years and 9 days.) I often wondering what time #3 would have been born, had there been a #3. My mind is weird! Happy birthday
**01/14 128.5 I don’t think I posted yesterday. I was busy in the kitchen all day getting ready for company for dinner.
01/15 129.5 We had friends for dinner last night. I tried 2 new recipes one for Garlicky Butter Parmesan Pork Chops and one for Blood Orange Rum Cake, both Keto. Then I also made the ketofied version of Boston Market butternut squash and the not even close to Keto dinner rolls I always used to make. I think it’s been 2 years since I made those. I ate 3 of them, in the past I would have eaten lots more. I’m still (barely) in nutritional ketosis so time to get back on track. Less than 2 qt of water.
01/16 Good day yesterday. Today Art Quilts and tonight community BINGO.
01/17 129.5 Car dropped off at dealer, coffee consumed, going to craft with a friend - we each do our own thing but it’s nice to have sometime chat with. Two years ago today the cardiologist told me I had NOT had a heart attack and my weight was 174.5. I am proud of myself for the progress I have made and thank God for sending me Keto!
01/18 129.0. Had a good day yesterday. Car window fixed and spark plugs changed (long overdue apparently.) Movie and dinner out today.
01/19 129.5 We saw Escape Room. We both thought it was better than the “C” rating it had in the paper. Golden Corral for dinner last night. I needed a steak fix! Had salad, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and a few sautéed mushrooms. Only 4 hours of sleep last night. UGH Going back to bed now!
01/20 129.5 I did go back to sleep yesterday but only for about 40 minutes - not enough! We went to see our favorite band last night. Someone was smoking a cigar which was quite unpleasant even from 30 feet away. I got a headache which stuck with me all night but is finally gone.
01/21 129.5 Eating yesterday was weird but within calories and macros.

@quiltingjaine Yes, Sunday roast dinner is a UK thing. We typically have a roast chicken dinner every Sunday, which includes lots of veg, but also gravy (high in fat and salt), roast potatoes, stuffing and yorkshire puddings.

It's very tasty, but can be very high in calories and salt. I still have mine every weekend as I think it's a nice family tradition to keep, but I just try to keep everything in moderation. Reduce the amount of gravy, for example. Limit the roast potatoes. Make my own Yorkshire pudding so I can control the portion size better. That sort of thing.

This is my twelvth round. The last round was pretty bumpy, so I'm hoping for a better time this round. I may decide to reset my Mini-goals....rather than be frustrated for the next 5 months!! They looked pretty reasonable two weeks ago!

Day/Weight/Comment

01/13 -- 153.5 -- Happy scale day! .5 below pre-Christmas weight! Some of the loss (and gain last round) probably due to TOM.
01/14 -- 153.5 -- So nice to see this number repeat. I think the bloat is mostly gone.
01/15 -- 154 -- (got 153.5 at first and stepped on it again. Got 154 for my trouble, and the scale stuck with it!)
01/16 -- 154 -- I'm ok with this. Went out for lunch with a friend and had a gyro with the pita. Bit of a carb binge when I got home, but within my exercise calories. Interestingly, I could tell the difference of eating more carbs yesterday, because I got hungry during my morning walk!
01/17 -- 153 -- Yes! Two walks and half of a zumba class yesterday. Ate a bit high on carbs and calories in general, because I was feeling pretty stressed. But still under goal. And did not drink multiple glasses of bourbon...just one.
01/18 -- 153 -- After last weeks roller coaster, this week has been nice and calm! I'm super dizzy today and hoping it was a few too many carbs yesterday and electrolyte imbalance. Drinking broth and hoping to shake it!
01/19 -- 154.5 -- Doesn't make a lot of sense. Ate better yesterday than earlier in the week. I did have two cups of broth, including one in the evening, to see if that would help with the dizziness. So it could be that. Still a bit dizzy today.
01/20 -- 155 -- Well that is irritating. I fasted till dinner yesterday. Ate low carb, high fiber, low calorie, big deficit. It is irritating that my biggest gains this week were after my best two days! I guess the good news is that if I had eaten poorly, I would be frustrated with myself, instead I'm just frustrated with the scale, water retention, irritating fat cells that sometimes decide to reclaim water before whooshing away. Sigh. Hopefully I still get to end low this 10 days. Less dizzy this morning....so that is good too.

01/21 -- 154 -- Worse day yesterday, better weight today. Sigh. Trying to just ride it out. I'm a pound down from my bad begginning...if only still at pre-Christmas weight...

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. I have been participating in this challenge since Round 40 My average loss/gain since Round 40 to 63 is a 0.5lb loss each round. This was better than I expected!

Goal: Continue to work on elimination diet for my food allergies.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/13--214.7 Went to the gym this morning to do some weightlifting. Other than going to Lowe's this morning to buy some wood, I will be vegitating the rest of the day.
01/14--215.8 Woke up so sore from workout yesterday, so not surprised about the increase in weight on the scale this morning and it also didn't help that I didn't drink a lot of water yesterday. Starting C25K today and making sure I get my water in today.
01/15--215.8 Finished W1D1 yesterday. Went to the gym this morning and did some weightlifting. Drank more water yesterday,so just need to continue with that today. Plan today is to hang a door and organize my laundry/storage area.
01/16--214.9 Sore from weightlifting yesterday. I hung the door yesterday, took much longer than I thought it would which is usually the case, but did not organize the laundry/storage area, so plan is to do that today. Also today is day 2 of c25k. Yoga tonight.
01/17--214.7 Weightlifting today.
01/18--214.8 I so did not want to go to the gym yesterday, so I made a deal with myself that I would go to the gym and give myself the ok to not do any of the lifts that I didn't feel like doing. In the end I went to the gym and followed the whole program except for 1 lift, so I am very proud of myself. Today is day 3 of c25k, hoping the rain holds out when I plan to go running. Elimination diet has definitely gotten much easier and my digestive system feels so much better, but I so miss a lot of foods...two more weeks until my next meeting with the nutritionist.
01/19--215.1 Finished week 1 of c25k yesterday. Today is rest day, so other than taking dog out for a walk no real scheduled exercise for today. Bought some new door handles yesterday, so I may get motivated and replace the interior door handles today.
01/20--214.5 Went to the gym and did some weightlifting. Going for a hike later this morning.
01/21--214.9 Had a great day yesterday hiking with hubby and the dog. In the PNW you have to take advantage of the days in January when it's in the 40's and it isn't raining. Today starting week 2 of C25K.
