JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 78

jenn990205

Back again, still working on my last 10 lbs (they are very stubborn)! Last round was not my best and very discouraging. I was able to maintain through multiple events and parties, so I'm taking that as a win. This round I will be leaving for a long weekend with the family for a vacation through Memorial Day. We have lots of activities planned that will require walking and getting outside. It's rare to get the older kids (adults now) and the younger kids all together on the same trip, so I am excited.

OSW: 178 July 2018
UGW: 135-138
Round 75: 151.9 - 148.8 down 3.1 Avg 148.41
Round 76: 148.8 - 147.7 down 1.1 Avg 147.97
Round 77: 147.7 - 147.5 down .2 Avg 147.93


05/23 - 147.5 still here. 3rd day in a row and up just over a pound from last week. Way under calories yesterday and drank tons of water.

@quiltingjaine Thanks I have looked at it over and over again. 2 bites of a cinnamon roll and 1 bite of french toast casserole on Saturday still can't be affecting me on Thursday. I blamed my almost 2 pound gain Monday on that, but I am still holding onto just over a 1 pound gain today. I'm just venting to vent I guess, but the closer I get to my goal the more frustrated I get. I am 2 pounds away from not being in the "overweight" category anymore and yes I know it is a number, but I am so close, but yet so far. Oh well, hopefully I can make some progress in this round. I have had plateaus where I just stay the same for a week or two, but I have never had one where I gain and then stay for no reason. I guess there is always new stuff to learn. I will continue eating at a deficit and hoping for the best. Sometimes I guess you just have to play the game with no reward. I have 8 days left to lose something this month. Right now I have not even lost a whole pound, booooo!

***ROUND 78 (my 8th)***
SW this round (5/22): 142.8
Day/Weight/Comment
05/23 142.8 The same weight as the past few days. So I am having a really tough time increasing my carbs, which is a strange thing for me! I only committed to do keto for one month to support my husband, and hopefully, to break the previous stall (which worked well). That was halfway through Round 75, and I've lost 10.8 lbs since then! Inches, too, a lot of them.

But. I did the keto thing for 2 years previously, and I don't want to go that route again as a lifestyle I can do forever (because I can't). And I don't want to risk blood vessel inflammation by suddenly eating the way I did before (sticking to my calorie limit, unlimited carbs), so I need to gradually add carbs. Why am I having trouble with this? I don't know.

Plateaus suck! not being nosey (ok being nosey) are you weight training?
Goodluck... I'm back on here after a lengthy break and having gained my weight back, but finding MFP friends and talking it out helps so much. YOU GOT DIS!

Round 78 (second round) - thanks for organizing!
Challenge for this round: going out of town for Memorial Day weekend so will miss the gym and will be eating out more than normal, plus no scale! Will just try to track food and trust the process! May take resistance bands, but not a lot of room to work out on a 35' sailboat with a 90 lb dog on board - forget about crunches unless you want to be covered with dog kisses! Will just enjoy the holiday away from the gym!

Starting Weight (Feb 3) 177.1
Goal Weight 110
STG 143.55 Midpoint on this journey! (loss of 33.55 pounds)

Day/Weight/Comment
05/23 147.3 Great start for this challenge; 0.5 drop from the end of the last challenge!!! So far this week have not seen the typical one pound increase/plateau but have been keeping carbs more stable lately. Have a relatively low carb day dinner planned (spinach/arugula with quinoa salad and grilled arctic char) so seeing if that might help with the usual bump that seems to occur each week! (also saved enough calories to enjoy a glass of wine and stay within target). Did weight circuit (legs) at the gym and then 45 minute step class - good workout! When I went to bathroom, saw what looked like small pea size blood clots, but urine looked OK otherwise. (I have been in menopause since I was 45 so not period related!) Checked it out with PCP this afternoon and no microscopic blood in urine, so supposed to check back if it re-occurs. Mystery for now, but she thought it could be exercise related or perhaps ibuprofen as had been taking as lower back was a little sore still.

05/23: (199.2 lbs) I managed to turn down free donuts for breakfast and candy for lunch, and I also turned down a Dr. Pepper later, so that's good. I caved later on and had cookies and cheezits I went up a little bit I think it's because of yesterday, not today.

@csilverthorn22 Hi, the struggle is real, lol! I do yoga as much as possible, but it hasn't been very often lately and stay within about 1000 calories a day. Sometimes I may go up to 1200 on the weekend. May is always a crazy month, hopefully I will get back to it in June. I think I just got so used to losing every week and now that I don't have that much to lose it has slowed waaaayyyyy down. Thanks for the support and I agree 100% having people in the same boat to talk to really helps.

Rd 77 EW - 187.2... -0.2
UGW - 145

Pizza night with friends Sat and Scottishfest on Sunday all day. Lots of walking and will make light choices. Not going overboard like I did at Knotts last week. Took me 5 days to get that weight off and I'm dying to be under 185 now that I hit that mark beforehand. Not letting a holiday weekend sabotage my success.

Tuesday after Memorial Day the entire house will start JJs 10-Day Smoothie Cleanse so will fall half in this challenge and half in the next. I hope to see 10 lbs gone between the 2. That's my goal. 170s here I come!

23-May... 187... -0.2
Really nice night with another fabulous Skinnytaste dinner with family. Made Asian Turkey Meatballs with Hoison Sauce using my new air fryer. Gina's recipes just don't fail. Tonight yummy pork loin chops of my own recipe. Gotta stay away from the cookies the daughter made. Would love to see 186s tomorrow.
