JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 72

I did not have a great last round. TOM completely botched it but I am very motivated to get started again after a weekend getaway where I ate and drank a lot. Let’s hope for a new low this week! Good luck everyone!

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 - No Scale (driving back from Vegas today without a weigh in this morning. I went to bed last night (or this morning) at 445am and I’m exhausted! Friday and Saturday I walked 25000 steps EACH day and I’m not sure how I still have feet! I count those two days as active so I hope the scale isn’t too bad tomorrow morning with all the food I had.)

03/25 - 200.6 (I'm happy I only gained a whole pound during my weekend away, which is a first for me. I usually gain around 5 pounds! All that walking truly helped. Last night I took naps and relaxed so I'm able to wake up to go to work so I did not do a workout. I had some Mandarin chicken, rice and broccoli for dinner last night.)

03/26 -199.4 (I officially lost all the weight I gained from my weekend getaway and it only took a day Last night I did a 20 minute elliptical HIIT workout. I was supposed to do a core workout last night too, but I was too busy grocery shopping, making dinner and helping the hubby study for his macroeconomics test that's due this week. I made some Philly cheesesteak pitas with chips for dinner last night!)

03/27 - 198.6 (The scale is going in the right direction! I've been having issues with a canker sore that has really been painful and difficult to eat. I stayed on target last night with my calories even though I really didn't want to eat since it's the side that I usually put food at. It really is difficult to eat on the other side! I made pasta with sauce and a poppyseed chicken casserole. I also did a 45 minute elliptical workout. It was difficult to push through yesterday!)

03/28 -198.2 (I had a great day yesterday! Ate on my plan and had some relaxation for the middle of the week. I did a core workout that I was supposed to do on Monday and had dinner ready in the crockpot. I made some chicken tacos with black beans. I'm hoping tomorrow I can make my goal since I'm so close!)

Day/Weight/Comment

03/24 205.5 Had barn day yesterday. Put in almost 13k steps but probably negated it with Mexican lunch and a huge margarita. Need to start daily bike riding or walking again.

03/25 DNW I was running late this morning (on purpose) and was dressed before I realized I hadn’t weighed in. Need to track, track, track to get myself back in the habit.

03/26 206.7 Stressed out to the max. Do really good with eating at work but lose absolute control at home. Never fails. First horse show of the year starts next Wednesday. Let’s hope my chaps fit. Ugh!

03/27 209.5 Let's try this again. I had already posted for today but apparently my Dad's laptop has a mind of it's own and I lost it all. I weighed in this morning in my work uniform. It was just easier than zooming downstairs in my skivvies and then going back up to get ready for work. It'll even itself out as I get into a routine. I am still not logging 100% of what I put in my mouth but I am always a work-in-progress.

03/28 207.? So I use a Fitbit Aria scale and I noticed that it did not sync my weight from this morning. But I swear I saw 207 something so I'll take that. Last night I did get OUTSIDE for a 1-mile walk. It felt GREAT to be outside and I cannot wait to do it again. It's supposed to be warmer today but I think it's going to rain. Boo! I did better on my tracking until I grabbed that cookie on my way up to bed. Grandma being at our house has REALLY stressed me out. She does NOT shut up while we sit quietly and watch evening television. Unfortunately, my ability to just tolerate or tune her out has decreased enough that I just want to lash out at her and then it gets ugly. Then all I want to do is eat! Ugh! #FamilyProblems

Focusing on me this round (never easy with 6 kids, 2 kids still at home, 6 grandkids, upcoming cheer comp and a permanently busy life! No major social events the next 10 days that should throw me off - although it is Mothers Day here in the UK next Sunday and the round does take in two weekends so need to stay focused through that. So here goes!

My target for the round is to lose a pound and finish mid 148's ............

Round start 149.7

03/24 - DNW - was my turn for a Sunday morning cup of tea in bed! At a quiz night last night where although I allowed for it in my calories for the day I did have salty snacks - doritos, olives etc and drank a ton of very gassy sparkling water so I know weight will be up and will take a few days to recover

03/25 -152.8lb up 3.1lb which is not possible but down to Sunday roast last night and hang over from Saturdays nights salty snacks. Scales may not reflect it but I know why they are up and it will be a temporary blip. Still no TOM (12 days over now!) and bloatedness still hanging around but despite all this feeling good about where my head is at and looking froward to this round to make some progress!

03/26 - 151.6lb down 1.2lb - in the right direction so will happily take that for today and hopefully keep heading in this direction! Food all planned and ready for the day and a gym session tonight - and as that is all done, water is now my focus for today

03/27 - 151.6 +0.0 - stayed the same which is OK as its not up Good food day planned , good gym session last night and TOM finally decided to arrive. Clocks go forward this weekend and so the lighter evenings will be upon us which always gives me a massive boost mentally. Continuing the quest to go down...........

03/28 - 151.3 -0.3lb - bit lower. Slow and steady..... Day planned to be within calories but going to be carb heavy (working lunch today which involved sandwiches and we have home made burgers tonight) so may not reflect well on the scales tomorrow. But still hoping... Gym session tonight, been guzzling away on the water and green tea today so all good there - macros need some work by the looks of it

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 — 193.3– I had a small sweet coffee filled with chocolate and sugar. Happy that didn’t cause weight gain. Back on plan today.
03/25 — 192.4 — Had a medium, very sweet coffee today. The rest of the day was on plan.
03/26 — 192.7 — Getting back on plan today.
03/27 — 192.1 — Husband decided to get Subway sandwiches for dinner last night. So proud of myself that I passed that up and made myself a healthy dinner (and saved money). I know they have some healthy choices, but I like knowing exactly what I am eating.

03/28 — 191.3 — Made goal for this round. 😃 Hope to lose more. Sometimes I think the little cheats actually help.

So back again for another one. Round 71 I went back and forth between 151 and 150. I expected a pretty good whoosh all week but never saw it. I’m just staying on track and hoping for the best next week. Hoping to finally get back into the 140’s by the end of this round.

Day Weight Comment

03/24 - 150.9 so no whoosh yet. We have our weekly family meal today so hoping for the best tomorrow. Holding steady so far through the weekend. Come on 149 something!

03/25 - 153.6 and there is my Sunday family dinner gain! 2.7 pounds, uuugggh. My husband decided he was going to grill some t-bones last night and they were amazing. We also had grilled asparagus and mashed potatoes with it. Then I decided I needed a couple of mini butterfingers. So the weight is well deserved, I am assuming mostly carbs and food still in my stomach. Anytime I eat steak it stays with me for a couple of days. Had a great Sunday though and back to eating clean today. Looking for that 149 sometime this round.

03/26 - 152.1 Got to love sodium and carbs. Should be back down tomorrow and back on track for a loss by Friday. Have all my meals planned for today and should stay under calories again. Pushing to see that 149 this week!

03/27 - 151.1 am almost back to my starting weight for the round. I was only a couple of ounces away from where I was. The scale flashed 150.7 and then stuck on 151.1. I got off and on a couple of times to try and make 150.7 stick, but it didn't, so I will have to settle for this, lol. Still not feeling 100%, allergies are killing me and now I have no voice. So just trying to drink my water and tea and get through the day. I have a roast in the crock pot for dinner tonight, so that should make tonight easier and I can get some rest.

03/28 - 152.1 no idea why it's up. Ate under calories yesterday and didn't have any late night snacking. Ate a little bit of roast for dinner and a big salad for my side. No mashed potatoes, roll or dessert. Woke up with a really dry mouth this morning, so maybe I am just dehydrated from allergy pills. Going to try and drink more water today and see what the scale says tomorrow. I see another 10 day round of floating around 150-152. Not giving up, but 149 may be in the next round. I think my body is anti-weighing under 150, lol.

03/27 153.9 today will be my third day in a row of spinning class. I haven’t noticed any difference on scale yet, so hoping that will come soon. March has been difficult because I had a ton of work and social functions so really looking forward to a April when life calms down a bit.
03/28 152.8 new lowest weight! I couldn’t believe seeing this number on the scale, but checked twice to make sure it wasn’t a fluke. Just .2 lbs away from 20 lbs total weight loss from when I started and solidly in size 12 clothing. I tried on my dresses yesterday and will be able to donate the size 16 (around 5 dresses, which felt good). I also just moved out of 29 BMI to a 28 number, so one number closer to 24.9

03/28 - 158 - I skipped dinner last night, I lunched at 3 and wasn't hungry until late, I thought it would be better to skip dinner than eat a meal right before bed. My weight is heading in the right direction overall, but man is this process slow! I'm not on track to reach 155 by April 1st, so I changed my goal to 157. I also adjusted my May 17th goal from 145 to 149. It would be fantastic to be in the 140s by May!

03/23 …..189.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

03/24 ….. 188.0….. I had so much paperwork to do / catch up on when I got home. Not much movement/just more & more sitting but following WOE well. I handled cravings after travel surprisingly well. Yesterdays stats: 1069 Calories In / 2049 Calories Out. 12 Net Carbs. 8,199 Total Steps & 3.48 Total Miles. IF 12:12. Had 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 21 minutes. My only exercise was 10 minutes on elliptical.

03/25 …..188.8 ….. [/color=limegreenStats for yesterday: 1061 Calories In / 2692 calories out. 53 Net Carbs. 12,612 Total Steps & 5.34 Total Miles. IF 12:12. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 14 minutes & woke up refreshed. Thanks for the inspiration you all have given me this morning as I fast & enjoy my morning black coffee. One foot in front of the other, I can do this again today. Thanks guys!

03/26 …..187.6 ….. Okay that’s better. Not sure what happened yesterday but it leveled out, whatever it was. Yesterdays stats: 1031 Calories In / 3077 Calories Out. 8 Net Carbs. 22,130 Total Steps & 9.38 Total Miles. IF 12:12. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 15 minutes & woke up refreshed. I exercised myself nearly to death yesterday (for an old lady, that is!) I walked for 115 minutes inside the school. It is so nice that they've left it open for us walkers during spring break. I also danced for 43 minutes. Sample song was “Shooting Star” by Bad Company. Today I go to my DD’s house to help prep the DGS’s drawers, closets & general clothing for upcoming spring. A bigger job than it should be because the boys are MESSY & it looks like an explosion went off in their room. Mean Nana is there to work today & they are on Spring Break so they will be helping, like it or not! Have a great Tuesday everyone!

03/27 …..187.6 ….. Helped DD yesterday. Ate there which contained foods not usually in my plan. I am taking my own lunch when I go back today. No planned exercise but I worked very very hard. Going back over today & not looking forward to it. Yesterdays stats: 2168 Calories In / 2790 Calories Out. 92 Net Carbs. 11,393 Total Steps & 4.82 Total Miles. IF 12:12. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 58 minutes & am feeling very tired & lazy but lots of work to do today at DD and with DGS’s. Just happy to have maintained.
03/28 …..187.6 ….. I’ve finished reading all the posts from yesterday & realized there was something in the air that caused all the LNS, cravings & especially the bingeing last night. I, too, was overcome by this mysterious fog that enveloped so many. I had a great hardworking day at my DD’s helping her again. Plenty of calorie burn & steps. I stuck to my eating plan perfectly. Then the fog rolled in last night while I was in bed watching TV. Why did I buy that Easter candy so soon? Sale? Well, it wasn’t worth it. Mini kit kats, kisses & reece cups took over my life for a few minutes there. I was SHOCKED to see the scale read the same this morning. Either I will see it in a day or two show up on that scale or I have been given yet another chance to prove myself. 1928 Calories In/ 2995 Calories Out. 143 Net Carbs. (OMgosh). 15,282 Total Steps & 6.47 Total Miles. IF 12:12 . Fitbit Step Hours 13/13. I slept 6 hours & 22 minutes (probably in a sugar crash). I danced for 20 minutes. Sample song “Flat bottom girls” by Queen. I hate posting when I have disappointed myself, but I’m only going to succeed if I continue tracking, logging, weighing & keeping myself honest & accountable. This challenge is one of my weapons & one of the most important tools in my toolbox. I hope to have a much better night tonight.

Just spent half an hour reading all the posts. I find daily weighing stats really interesting and especially reading and understanding the thought processes behind the numbers, changes and fluctuations. Thanks everyone for sharing their journeys. Unfortunately my brain is too scatty to reply personally, but I feel very motivated!

Happy Thurs evening everyone

I have been really hungry the last couple days. Very annoying. Was about to say I was not eating anything different, but I have been. I usually eat this blueberry almond Greek yogurt refrigerator oatmeal I make (so good), but I ran out and for the last 2 days have been having half a bagel with cream cheese instead. My Greek yogurt breakfast has double the protein, 6 times the fiber and about the same carbs, but they are good carbs (from the blueberries and oatmeal etc) rather than the crap carbs in the white bagel. Hmmmm... interesting I'm going to have the yogurt breakfast tomorrow, I'll see if I am more satisfied during the day.

3/24 - 174.8 (FR) - 44g carbs, 36g net carbs. Carbs were: CRACKERS!, dill pickle, olives, celery in tuna, peanut butter, eggs. Yesterday was my last day of the 2 week 12/12 IF protocol. I will do it again if I think it's necessary, but only for one week. Week 1, I was definitely hungry at the end of the 12 hr fast. Week 2, I did not feel hungry until the 15th hour. My body was beginning to reset itself to my normal 18 to 20 hours of fasting.

3/25 - 173.8 - 29g carbs, 23g net carbs. Carbs were: eggs, strawberries, cabbage, cashews. My body is tired from my workout yesterday, but my weak lower body muscles are getting stronger. I've also been stretching my very tight IT band every day throughout the day to improve my knee. It's helping. I need my muscle roller massage stick today!

3/26 - 173.8 - 38g carbs, 29g net carbs. Carbs were: cabbage, peanut butter, celery in tuna, grape tomatoes, jalapenos, monk fruit sweetener (has carbs, but all fiber, no calories and no effect on blood sugar 😦??? O-kaaay) Keto friendly, resembles sugar, no aftertaste that I detect. I need to use it, bought it a year ago. The one I have is mixed with erythritol. It's 200-300 times sweeter than sugar, so why the mix? Probably, to stretch it, since monk fruit is very expensive and erythritol also has a couple of similar properties. I do have syrups and a greens food powder sweetened with only monk fruit. Very good, so good that it masks the taste of wheat grass powder which is quite nasty. Monk Fruit Sweetener

3/27 - 176 ⬅abs workout ☺ - 87g carbs, 74g net carbs. Carbs were: fried chicken, salad, cabbage, nuts. I was out all day, tired and hungry. Purchased a small snack bag of nuts, pumpkin seeds and dried fruit bits. 560 calories of really not much dried fruit or pepitas, mostly peanuts. The carb count not okay, but the calories balances the past week. I've been leaving a lot of calories behind and I don't like doing that. Did not take vitamins yesterday. It was bedtime when I thought of them. I need a lot of water to swallow pills, did not want to be running to the bathroom all night.

3/28 - 175.2 - 45g carbs, 39g net carbs. Carbs were: salad, coating on fried chicken, peanut butter, lemon juice, salad dressing.

03/25 - 149 Scales going in the right direction! Ate small amounts all day. Still fighting this stomach thing but it seems a bit better today
03/26 - 149 Was happy to see it there...was at BIL for supper and he bought pecan pie for dessert - which I had because everyone else did. But it was 9:30 - I never eat past 8 so I was worried...but all good!
03/27 - 149 Well at least it didn't go up. Had a few(8) chips last night and couldn't sleep. Gut was killing me again. Thinking I might have to do a gut check and call the doc....uuuhhhgggg
03/28 -148.6 - Had my doc appt today. She thinks it's an ovary that keeps twisting and untwisting that is causing all the pain...really?? I have another appt in a couple weeks to check things again. But because nothing hurts today nothing was showing up. "As soon as the pain lasts more then an hour you should head to emergency...for xrays and stuff...ya whatever!! I so miss my Doc - back from vacay for next appt!!

Round 72 (my 2nd) Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 152.6 This makes 5.2 down since I started this challenge, and 2.8 down overnight! Now that's the week 1 whoosh I'd hoped for and never got. I exercised and ate some calories back, had my usual ice cream bar and even three squares of caramel dark chocolate yesterday! I also looked up the calories in my favorite bakery cookies and discovered to my horror that each one has over 500 calories! I used to eat several in the course of a day. Maybe I can have one occasionally on maintenance, but I am so glad I'm not blindly stuffing my face now!

I feel like tracking on MFP has revealed that holy grail of successful weight loss: moderation. I'm finally empowered to enjoy treats in moderation, guilt-free. Other big lessons so far: I must practice patience (this is all gonna go way more slowly than I'd like!), and I can't freak out when the numbers on the scale go up or plateau. It's all part of this nonlinear process.

My original goal weight for this round was 153.8, but I'm lower than that today, so I've revised the goal to be 151.8. That's only 1 lb in the next 10 days, slow and steady.
03/25 154.8 Well, it's to be expected. I may bounce up and down over the next few days. I ended the last round at 155.4, and that's probably closer to the truth. 153 still feels attainable for this round. Focusing on lots of hydration and staying in my calorie range while getting as close to my protein macros as possible.
03/26 155.6. Sigh. Okay. I ate super salty foods yesterday and I know this isn't a true reflection of what's going on. My pants feel looser, at least! My 153 goal for this round seems less likely bu the day, but there are still 7 days left. A lot can happen.
03/27 155.6. All right, as long as I don't gain, this means I'm basically maintaining what I've lost so far. Still down more than 2 lbs, and more importantly, I'm feeling better than I have in a while about my ability to stick with something. I have to admit, knowing I'm posting here every day makes a difference! I clearly need this level of accountability.
03/28 154.8 Yay, moving back down again (even after yesterday's cheeseburger). This weighing every day thing is a real mindjob. Up, down, down, way up, stall... it's so helpful to see others' 10-day logs and notice similar patterns, and so encouraging to see the longer trends of true weight loss for those of you who've been at this for a while. I love that there are a couple of maintainers in this group, too! The struggle doesn't necessarily end, but you get to carry on in a lighter, more fit body. I can deal with that! Okay, 5 MORE DAYS to stay within my calorie limit, drink tons of water, and maybe even fit in some light exercise.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 - 289.4 - I walked to church this morning and was glad I made it up the steep hill. I'm getting stronger. It still took my breath away, but the stairs up to the church posed no problem. I plan on walking in an hour for about an hour. Only 14 more pounds to my next milestone goal.
03/25 - NW - I plan to go walking later today. I always think I can't do it, then I prove myself wrong. I've been hitting my active hours as well on my Fitbit. I'm feeling more hungry today for some reason. I'm thinking of eating my snack earlier instead of later. Food is still on point.
03/26 - 291.6 - Not sure what happened. My period is kinda lingering so that could be the source. I didn't get any exercise in, but I did get some more cleaning done. Food is still doing good. I've added in chopped spinach to my meals.
03/27 - 288.4 - Most likely just water weight yesterday. It's gone. Food is going good today. I added in turkey sausage to my breakfast for some extra protein. I have also increased the size of my evening snack as I think my calories were dipping too low. I have been busy cleaning again today in preparation for the housekeeping inspection tomorrow. If my package arrives early enough I will go for a walk around the community the room later.
03/28 - 289.6 - Hmm. Bouncy? I don't know. I'm not really getting my exercise in this week for a variety of reasons. Monday was rest day. Tuesday and Wednesday I was waiting for packages until late. And today my walk I cut short to keep from being brained by a baseball. Two guys were throwing a ball back and forth over the walking path instead of going to a space in the big park that wasn't a walking path. I have been burning some calories by doing a lot of cleaning.

03/26 210#. I am a bit surprised by this big of a jump.
03/27 208.4#. COMPLETELY blew my calorie intake for today. The last 3 days I have had terrible munchies. Tomorrow I should only eat when my body is truly hungry.
03/28 208.6#. Feeling much better about today than yesterday! Didn't have the cravings today. However I still ate 2 cups of pasta. Keeping the calories well under 2,000 today.
