JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 81

kmfeig87

@deepwoodslady My new go-to for low carb is cabbage! The leaves make a great wrap--a bit crunchier and hold up better than lettuce. Shred it finely and it makes a great substitute under stir-fry or taco fixings. An added benefit is it is more substantial than lettuce, so your jaw gets a nice workout too, and you feel you MUST have eaten something!

This round ends on a Monday, which is usually my highest day of the week. So hopefully I can finally have a nice loss this round to help me out.

OSW: 178 in July of 2018
Rnd 79 EW: 148.7 (10 day avg: 148.38)
Rnd 80 EW: 148.0 (10 day avg: 147.22)
Goals for next 10 days:
1) to get between 7,500 and 10,000 steps everyday (extremely hard to do sitting at a desk for 8-9 hours a day)
2) do not want to see anything higher than 148.9 on the scale in this round
3) finally see a new low of 145.xxx (lowest weight so far was last round and it was 146.1)

06/22 - 146.0 really? Now my scale is just screwing with me, lol. Did a 36 hour fast yesterday to get back down and on track. Seemed it has worked well and I am back down to my lowest weight so far. 8 days left of the month and really hoping to make my goal. Come on 1/10 of a pound is all I need!

06/23 - 149.0 went to a salad place for lunch and had some drinks with dinner. Should not be this high. Maybe sodium

06/24 - 149.0 this is just annoying. Ate really low calorie yesterday, but did go out for breakfast. I just don't think my body agrees with restaurant food.

06/25 - 150.8 had an amazing 3 day weekend. Went golfing all day yesterday with my 2 older boys and my husband, but I did come home with a nice little sunburn. I am assuming this is the reason for another bounce up. Ate well under calories, but also lunch was out again at another restaurant on the golf course. Going to drink tons of water today and apply aloe and see what the next couple of days brings me.

06/26 - 149.0 I was hoping for something lower. Still hurting from my burn, but hopefully within the next couple of days will be gone. My weight has been so weird this round. I saw 148.3 on the scale and then bounced back up to 149.0. So I know this is just all water weight and will have to wait for it to leave. My trend weight is super high now to, so will just have to keep working on it I guess.

06/27 - 148.0 Still struggling to come back down. I was bitten by a spider over a month ago when we went to the river. It healed within a week and I never thought about it again. Sunday morning when I had my large spike in weight I noticed the spot was back. By yesterday it looked really bad and infected, so I went to the doctor. I guess it has turned into a really bad infection and I should have gone a month ago when I first saw it. Who knew! Now I am on 2 different antibiotics and an ointment. I am assuming my body is just trying to fight the infection and recover and holding onto the weight. I started the antibiotics yesterday, so I am hoping maybe this weekend I will be back down. I'm not going to stress or worry about eating under calories at this point. I don't want to get sick/nausea from not eating enough while taking these pills. I wasn't going to finish this round, but I need the accountability. I am not going to go over my calories, so hoping after I am better I will see a loss. Bonus: I can not have a sip of alcohol while on these pills due to my thyroid. It could cause me to have a stroke because of the massive dose of antibiotics that I am on. 12 days with absolutely no alcohol is going to be rough, especially through the 4th of July holiday. I am curious to see if I see a spike in my weight loss. I have never gone more than 3 days, much less 12!

06/28 - 148.0 woke up covered in a rash. I guess I am allergic to the antibiotics! Uuuugghhh, I was high on sodium last night to, so maybe that's the reason it didn't move at all. We will see what happens the rest of the round. I am now on steroids to get rid of the rash and a new antibiotic.

06/29 - 146.5 rash and swelling is gone. New antibiotic seems to be meshing well with me. Day 5 of no alcohol and back down to a reasonable weight. 2 more days, hoping to stay some where around this weight!

Day/Weight/Comment

06/22 145.0 ate very late last night so not surprised with the slight uptick. Meals planned for today so should be a good day food wise
06/23 145.5 didn’t drink enough water yesterday and had takeout Indian food so will be upping my water intake today
06/24 144.8 back down a bit, and happy didn’t gain much over the weekend. Friday’s are usually my lightest weight day so not surprised that haven’t seen round 80s end weight yet, but hope to be back there by mid week.
06/25 144.5 pretty typical Tuesday and finally slept 7 hours straight during the night (been waking up at 3am-4am the last week for an hourish).
06/26 144.2 ate very well yesterday and worked out so was hoping for more of a loss, but this is pretty consistent to with some of the weeks after a big loss that I lose at a slower pace. I am back to where I was at the end of round 80.
06/27 143.8 lowest weight I’ve seen, but only a .2 lb loss from last week so still a bit discouraged. Today’s another opportunity to continue sticking to the plan and hopefully a larger loss will come later in this round or next round.
06/28 144.0 going to try to do 120 oz of water today. I keep waking up thirsty so maybe 70 oz isn’t enough in the warmer weather.
06/29 144.0 good day yesterday and continuing into today so far. Going to the gym for 60 minutes than a movie. Pretty relaxing weekend planned

Coming back after a break from logging cals. Gained a couple of kilos, but needed the break to come back with new mindset.
Got 2.5 weeks before a holiday and want to make the most of that time.
Wed 06/26 72.6kg (-0.5)🧘10💪Athena🚶‍♀️11.7k 📖🍫10.30-23.00 12.5hrs eating window
I forgot to log one thing yesterday, but was still within cals.
Today was tough, had a meeting that was catered for (delicious sandwich), then met friends for dinner and drinks. I see this becoming a problem, being in a new city, meeting new people or having visitors and soooo many new places to discover, mainly around food.
The loss today was great, but now it's late and I won't be getting up early enough for my run, and more plans in the eve - oh what a difficult life I shouldn't be complaining...
Thu 06/27 73.3kg (+0.7)🚶‍♀️16.5k🏃‍♀️4km🥗🍫🍷
9.5 fast. 8.30-19.30 11hrs eating
I had late dinner with beer on top of a rich lunch yesterday. Today, I didn't run or do yoga in the morning. Today's lunch was a pot luck - nice idea, but bad for controlled eating, I didn't go crazy and estimated 1000cals for that.
After work, I wanted to go for a bike ride, but had a flat tyre, so went for a non-C25K run instead which was good.
I'm trying to get into a fasting pattern, need to try out what works with work, exercise and being social. Today I stopped eating at 6, but then had one sweet after my bike disappointment, which added 1.5hrs, but I have to be honest. Anyway, I ramble..
Fri 06/28 72.8kg (-0.5) 💪Athena🧘🚴40mins🚶‍♀️6k-ish 📖🥗🍫🍷
14hrs fast. 9.30-20.30 -11hrs eat
Worked from home, started day with yoga & freeletics. Ate ok during day, went for a bike ride before dinner, but didn't make my steps. Dinner was healthy, had a bit of a snack afterwards, but it was planned as part of my dinner cals.
The real battle came about an hour later, not to stuff my face. I drank tea and looked through cupboards, but in the end I won and didn't snack, yay me!

Sat 06/29 72.3kg (-0.5)💪Athena🧘🚴🚶‍♀️13k📖🥗🍷
17.45hrs fast. 14.15-21.15 - 7hrs eat
Good day today, managed to keep my eating window shorter as I pushed breakfast until I was really hungry. Also realised that I wrote down my fast/eat windows wrong.
It was very hot today, so went for another bike ride instead of a run.

Thu 13/06: 163.5: Goals: ✅Normal fluctuation for me. I often bounce back up after a whoosh down. Although I still think these fluctuations are due to the inflammation in my knee

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

• Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
• A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
• Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
• The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
• Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
• The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
• When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
• Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Result:

Day - Weight - Comment
06/22 - 136.8 (+0.7lbs) - Bloated. Ate Late. Ate out and somewhat unhealthy for 1 meal. TOM coming very soon. 1hr strength. 35min cardio (was probably a lot more but this is all I recorded). 16 cups water.
06/23 - 135.6 (-1.2lbs) - Food was great. 1hr strength. 1hr 45min cardio. 16 cups water.
06/24 - 134.9 (-0.7lbs) - Whew broke the upper 130s. I’m sure I’ll fluctuate back up as I go but this is a huge milestone. Ate mostly healthy but I did have a handful of chips. Rest day for the most part. I did do about 20min cardio/strength but took it easy otherwise. 45 min restorative yoga. 14 glasses water.
06/25 - 135.1 (+0.2lbs) - no real reason just typical fluctuation I guess. Ate healthy. 1hr strength. 1hr 13min cardio. 15 cups water.
06/26 - 135.3 (+0.2lbs) - sore today likely water retention. Also TOM coming. Food was good. 1hr 31min cardio. 30 min strength. 17 cups water.
06/27 - 134.7 (-0.6lbs) - TOM started. Food was good. Rest day. 30min Yin Yoga for restoration. 15 cups water.
06/28 - 134.2 (-0.5lbs) - Nice to be moving in the right direction. 1hr strength. 35min cardio. 16 cups water.
06/29 - 134.2 (0lbs) - Maintaining, which is good. Have been expecting a jump just because that seems to be how my body works but glad it hasn’t happened so far. Hopefully I’ll see another decrease shortly. 1 hr strength. 35 cardio. 15 cups water. 11,315 steps.

06/22 136 18/30 accomplished. Was able to get off work early today but I was so tired I passed out when I had chores and meal preps...😥😥😥 I also just found out my day off on Monday is no longer happening. I should be there for three hours only (just to organize inventory) but who knows. I want this rounds food choices to be better. This job won't be getting any easier and if I am stationed here then I need to learn to adapt to my new environment. So far I have worked two weeks straight...I don't think I have ever worked so hard in my life, which I don't mind because I love it, it's just the meal preps that are getting to me

06/23 137 18/30 I messed up..,chocolate got to me. Starting Monday I will be meal prepping and eating better. I am ready for a restart

06/24 136.4 I messed up another day...but the good news is I got all my meal prep done for the rest of the week. I am all set to go. 18/30

06/25 137.6 a gain as expected. 19/30 accomplished

06/26136.8 I wanted to be down to 130 by the end of June but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. Although normally I would be upset by this, i know I have been working hard and I am not going to get down on myself. It will come, i will just have to continue practicing patience. It's not the end of the day but because all my meals are preplanned for me and having an active job, i know I will stick the course today. So 20/30 accomplished

06/27136 20/30 accomplished....I have been so hungry this week. Tsk tsk.

06/28135 21/30 accomplished

06/29 134.4 22/30 accomplished. This is what happens when I have more control over my eating and pre plan my meals. 😁😁

Day/Weight/Comment

06/22 - 142
06/23 - 142
06/24 – 143 – Our weekend was so busy I didn’t get a chance to post although I weighed both days. We visited a local winery Saturday night and I ate a lot of snack foods that I usually avoid. Back on track for the work week.
06/25 – 142 – OK!
06/26 – 141 – I’ll be happy if I can stick around this weight for the rest of the week.
06/27 – 142.5 – Not real surprised. I’ve noticed that when I start trending down in my maintenance weight, I start getting a little loose with my calorie counting. That’s why I’m here. I need to watch a little closer the next couple days so the weekend and the picnics next week don’t throw me above maintenance.
06/28 – 142 – I was very mindful of my eating yesterday and I’m preparing for the weekend. I need to do better drinking my water.
06/29 – 141.5 – I’m glad my weight dropped a little before my eating catches up with me tomorrow.

Day/Weight/Comment
06/22 134.2 Now that I'm down to the last 11 lbs (can't believe I'm finally saying that!), I need to figure out some real maintenance strategies. This is new territory, and I'm afraid of messing it up. From what I've learned from the maintenance forums, the trick is to go slooowly at the end. Hmmm, we'll see. I may reset my MFP goal to 1/2 lb a week when I have only 5 lbs to go, but not yet.
06/23 136.4 Everything was *super* salty yesterday and I didn't get in all my water (woke up this a.m. absolutely parched, which is never a good sign!). I thought it might show up 2 days days later, but here it is already. Because I've been doing this challenge long enough to have some insight into my weigh-ins, I know this isn't fat, and I'm not worried. Plus, after last round's whoosh of almost 6 lbs, I'm okay if the scale adjusts up a bit.

Advice from a maintainer that's good to keep in mind: "A slow, gradual upward creep over weeks is more likely to be fat gain. A big whalloping overnight gain from the middle of my range to/above the top of the range is more likely to be water/digestive contents. If I gain 3 pounds, and I'm pretty sure I didn't eat 10,500 calories above maintenance, I'm going to believe it's water weight/digestive contents, and give it a couple of days* to drop back rather than freaking out about it."
06/24 135.8 Despite my earlier declaration that I wasn't going to start slowing down yet, I got curious yesterday and played with the numbers by adjusting my MFP goal down to only 1/2 lb a week, which gives me almost 200 calories more per day. I've been stuck at only 1200 calories since I started logging in March, so I was excited to see such a "high" number (1390), and I used every calorie for once, plus a few extra. I'm completely sedentary- whatever the level below MFP's "Not Very Active" is, that's me- so none of this 'eat back your exercise calories' stuff for me, and it's a relief to think think I may be able to have a more relaxed calorie range at some point.
06/25 135.8 Well, this may be a maintenance round as I stabilize from the big loss how the bump in calories changes things. The experiment continues
06/26 137 Booooo. My stomach is bloated and I feel like nothing is moving through my system properly, so that may be what's going on, but still, boooooo!
06/27 135.2 Maintaining in the 135s, sorta. Probably the healthiest thing after last round's loss. I'm really making peace with going more slowly because I've lost on average 7 lbs a month for the past 3 months, and I'm on the home stretch. Yes, it's summer, yes, I'm getting in a pool at a resort next week, and it would be awesome to be at goal weight already, but I need to be smart and think long term. Too much, too soon, and I'll lose muscle (and I ain't got much of that to start with!).
06/28 135.2 LOL, big surprise.
06/29 133.8 This is my lowest weight in over a year! I'm going on vacation tomorrow, so it won't last, but at least today, I can say I'm 10 lbs from goal.

06/23- 247 got my sweet Hank out for a walk today, happy dog. Light work around the house
06/24- 245 I have been stuck at 248 for foreverrrr. Is this just water loss, is it that I’m sticking to a calorie count? Hummm. I will not write about food here because it makes me hungry when I read it and other people’s post. Eeek. Tomorrow I have to really watch myself because in the evening friends come and there is something I really want to be able to have!
Does anyone use bulletproof coffee? I have ordered the brain octane. A fitness gaI have started following on Facebook says she puts that in her coffee in the morning instead of breakfast. I’m not a big breakfast eater so I would rather have a little something that way then be forced to sit down and eat breakfast. I know, Breakfast is a big deal, sometimes I try to at least have a hard-boiled egg but I really don’t like eating until 11. When I IF it’s perfect, by the time I get done with dinner I’m not supposed to be eating again until around 10.
06/25- 244 Other than walking costco, no exercise. Cant get motivated. doing good holding at calorie count.

UGW: 126lbs / 57.2kg

R81 Goal: Round 80 was an insightful 3rd round for me. I learned a lot about my body and what causes fluctuations after noticing a trend of gaining weight following the previous day of intense exercise/lifting heavy weights. With this knowledge, I hope I can be kinder to myself and not launch into a chocolate bingeing frenzy when this is the case.
My overall aim for the whole month of June is to still train consistently - with that should come the weight / inch loss.

Expected a gain after Friday's boozing, then yesterday's treat meal was a calorie fest and my ⭐ week showed up, so the odds were defo against me this morning 😂
Very happy with myself because a treat meal usually turns into a full day, and sometimes even a weekend but I channelled that urge and carried on about my day. Expecting that gain to be away tomorrow, ⭐ week cramping and bloating permitting, so should finish the round with a loss.

06/22 - 201.4 - not a great start, exercise is not great because of injury, food could have been better and very little water
06/23 - 200.6 - ok food and water and managed a stroll.
06/24 - 200.6 - still the same but at least there was no gain. Food good but exercise was not happening.
06/25 - 199.6 - yes a loss. Good with food and water. Doing as much as I can with exercise.
06/26 - 201.2 - and yesterday was a very good day. How did I gain 1.6lb?
06/27 - 199.8 - and back down again. Yesterday was good.
06/28 - 199.8 - same again which is good.
06/29 - 201.4 - up again but I ate a lot of chocolate - emotional eating!
06/30 - 202.4 - away yesterday all food on the go.

06/22 247 lbs trying to restart Keto with sister
06/23 245.8 lbs mostly water, but drinking a lot of fluids to flush the body. Calories still at the 2100 top end. Goal is to get in 10000 steps per day again.
06/24 244.8 lbs Drinking plenty of water so I am not dehydrating. Did a morning walk for 1.5 mile in the morning. Took a nice hike with my son on a local “hill” after work. Nice vertical and plateau.
06/25 243 was able to get a 60 minute walk in on the treadmill. Went 3 miles with inclines. Whatever will help prep the hike. Doing another tomorrow if all goes well.
06/26 242.6. Ate like a pig at s farmers market. Knew it would not end well. Need to get past the issue wasting food. No problem, back on the horse.
06/27 243.4 lbs
06/28 241.4 lbs Yesterday did another hike for just over 1.5 hours consisting of a lot of hills with my son. It was tougher but easier since the body is waking back up nicely. Still have a ways to go to climb Mt. Washington. I figure I have six weeks to be ready. Will have to take it easy today since I am giving blood. My blood type is always in very high demand. Very happy with my progress!
06/29 241.2 lbs this morning. Off to a morning hike with the boys. Had a big meal of bbq. Not what I would call a nutritious meal, but very good😂. Sensible eating the next 6-8 days.
06/30 243.6 yesterday ended in a lot of eating with family 😂. Way too much consumption. Oh well, New day and back to eating sensibly. Another hike today, but both boys today. All that matters is the overall weight loss direction is downhill.

06/22 - 191.7 - I'm happy to see this number but definitely surprised. I started IF last week, and I really feel like that helps me. Mostly bc I'm a snacker, so the later I start eating the less time I have to graze. Hopefully, this downward trend will continue!
06/23 - 192.4 - I’m not surprised by the gain. I had a bit too much wine last night, too many carbs and not enough water. I have a short run planned for today. IF is going to be tough today bc I drank that wine at 9, but I’m going to give it my best!
06/24 - 193.3
06/25 - 196.6 - (Yikes!)
06/26 - 194.6
06/27 - 193 - This round has been a roller coaster for me. A lot of the weight gain is water (TOM + lifting) so my goal for today is to complete my training run and drink 100 oz of water.
06/28 - 192.7 - Still making my way back down. Drank lots of water yesterday and didn't go overboard with my eating yesterday. I managed to complete my training run last night and I'm doing outdoor yoga this morning (if the rain holds off). I will try to drink 100 oz of water and get some exercise (hopefully yoga and a walk).
06/29 - 193.6 - I've been hitting the mark on exercise every day, hit or miss on the water and just barely hanging on with food (which is obviously the most important part).
