JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 83
Replies
-
These challenges seem to go by so quick sometimes. This round ends on a Sunday so I am going to do my best to be good that weekend. My only goal this round is to see a 144.xx and to get to into a “healthy” BMI range. We will see if I can do it, the last round I pretty much just maintained and didn’t ever see that new low I was looking for. So I am ready this round for it!
Round 80: 148.7 - 148.0 (10 day Avg 147.22)
Round 81: 148.0 - 146.5 (10 day Avg 147.87)
Round 82: 146.5 - 146.3 (10 day Avg 146.93)
07/12 - 144.6 A NEW LOW!!!!! I can't believe I hit my goal for this round already. 1.3 pound loss from last week. 1.6 more pounds and I will be out of the over weight category and I will be at the tip top of my maintenance. I will also officially be in the last 5 pounds of my journey. I have stayed strong this whole week and was expecting a loss, but I usually lose a half a pound at a time, so if I see an uptick tomorrow I would not be surprised or mad. It's a nice way to go into the weekend and hopefully keep me on track.
07/13 - 144.6 same so I’ll take it and run! Starting the weekend out stressful and busy. My oldest had to move back in with us last night. His living situation did not work out. His little heart is broken and my heart hurts for him. That first breakup is just horrible and I can remember mine like yesterday. He will be ok, but having a kid move back in after being out for a year and half is rough. Plus he is an adult now and in a completely different place than where he was at 18 when he moved out. Have lots to do to help him and get organized, so will be busy and eating on the run probably a lot this weekend. I’m going to try and stay on track and have a really strong weigh in on Monday.

@FarmerCarla Thank you!
@Ahanaz I was so impressed with The Obesity Code that I bought it. I may do the same with The Diabetes Code as diabetes runs in DH’s family and he insists on drinking A LOT of sugary soda daily. I’ve highlighted many section in the e-book and I think I’m only on chapter 4!
@Hilogirl2018 Look at my spoiler Rounds 24-35. That was my “almost to goal” not really a stall. People said if I wasn’t losing, something was healing on the inside and to hang in there. Now I’m saying that to you. It can be frustrating but for some reason the 140’s were really hard for me. My goal then was 137. After I made it over that hump, I started losing again. As of today, I’m 16# lower. I eat when I’m hungry, am aware of my snacks. I’m not trying to lose but what happens happens.5 -

end weight from round 82 -- 145.8
heaviest was June 16 --153.4...that day I came up with a new plan, and here we are..thank you for this forum! I will achieve my goal and I will maintain it once there.
goal this round; 1.5 lbs less
end goal: 125
GOAL: Be AWARE of my food choices...
WHY ---do I choose what I choose
WHEN --do I choose the food I choose
HOW ---do those choices impact your weight and fitness goals? The understanding of these questions should be enlightening to help me make better future decisions and change patterns of behavior
3rd round for me. This is a great way to keep in touch with others with similar goals. I'm 49 yo female Canadian expat living in Central America. Good luck all for to continuing the journey to all our goals. On 6/25 I decided to give up alcohol for a month, partly to help with weight loss, but who am I kidding...lol I need a etoh break anyways. So, I'm doing my exercise, mindful choices with food, and haven't had etoh in 18 days.

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.
7/11 123.0
7/12 121.0 WTH?? Happy new round to me?? Got daughter home from hospital, meds picked up at pharmacy and I think last night was a good night. Not sure why I’m losing. I’ve been eating.
7/13 121.09 -
My highest weight was 197# at 5’4”.
I’m 48 years old. I was 189# when I first started keto, and had gotten down to 150# before I let life interrupt me. Today I am 165.5#, including all the swelling. 😒
7/12 - 165.5/POD#3 - swollen & feeling super fat & icky
7/13 - 163.5/POD#4 - the swelling must be going finally, or something. I figure if I eat basically what my mom @quiltingjaine eats, I will surely be around my macros/calories. It’s hard being down & dependent when I’m used to doing everything for myself & others.12 -

7/12 143, not too bad for being lower than usual on water and not working out as much as I normally do (in the middle of my TOM). Hoping to get my energy to today for 70 minutes on the elliptical.
7/13 142.8, going to the museum with a friend and then a yoga class later in the afternoon. Food is all prepped, so just hope to drink enough water throughout the day and keep to the plan .

@debbie7373 Happy birthday 🎈!
@Ahanaz A happy belated birthday.
@MBabydoll I hope that you feel better soon.
@quiltingjaine Congratulations on the new low, are you being more active?
@jenn990205 I’m amazed at myself 😸! I’ve tried and failed so many times and I really wish that I could pinpoint what’s different this time. If I could figure that out I would tell others that I know are struggling the way I have so many times. Also, congratulations on the new low and hitting your goal for the round.
@Hilogirl2018 Hang in there. I had a two round stall last month so I know it’s frustrating. Have you changed anything about your eating habits? Sometimes even a seemingly small change can affect loss.

07/13 311.2 I’m still feeling the other day and I’m having a flare up of my MS. I have a plan in place and I’m not going to use it as an excuse to sit around and eat. I’m going to try to do little bits of activity as I can throughout the day.

07/12 160.4 - 14,300 No diet change. It is water retention because I am uncomfortably puffy again. Started birth control last week for medical reasons and even though doctor said it wouldn’t affect weight, I have to believe that is where this is coming from. I’m having a few other issues as well. Maybe it is just a transition time - I hope. This stinks! 😔

Day/Weight/Comment
07/11 …..196.7….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/12 …..196.0 ….. A very nice downward turn. Not much activity yesterday perhaps my body needed the rest. I ate back many of my activity calories eating spaghetti squash casserole which was excellent. Yesterday’s stats: 1546 Calories In / 2213 Calories Out. 49 Net Carbs. 7626 Total Steps & 3.23 Total Miles. 9/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I lost the first two hours when I overslept the night before! Last night I slept 4 hours & 33 minutes. I did outdoor gardening for 63 minutes. Today I will try to up my water & activity level. Good luck everyone on this round. Welcome to all the newbies, we are so glad you’ve joined us!
07/13 …..194.8 ….. Whoosh! Going to the bathroom really helps! A good food day yesterday except I ate a few too many sunflower seed kernals during in-home movie night with my son. I must remember not to eat when watching TV if it’s going to be mindless eating! Also, lots of friendly veggies yesterday but they do add up! So calories & carbs were a bit higher than I planned, but I took a short walk & had a short dance session to help get in a little more movement. I also did moderately paced house cleaning yesterday. Yesterday’s stats: 1640 Calories In / 2444 Calories Out. 43 Net Carbs. 10,285 Total Steps & 4.35 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept a lousy 3 hours & 3 minutes & woke up tired today. I walked for 10 minutes at a moderate pace. I cleaned house & laundry for 90 minutes & I danced for 12 minutes. Sample song “”Miss You” by the Rolling Stones.

7/12: 197.8 (+0.4) up a little but feeling okay about it. I'm realizing that a bit of an up and down is really normal and trying to not let it freak me out, and worse stop, anymore. Water down 10 oz (at 50oz), Thai Curry for lunch with fam., left over curry for dinner.
7/13: 197.0 (-0.8) stayed within calorie goal but only 40 oz of water so surprised by this loss but I’ll take it 🥳 The weekend is here so big test for me every time. Trying to stay busy.

12: 241.4 Whew. Not liking that number so much. 😕 Did pretty well with food today. I was surprised that Fitbit gave me about 900 exercise calories. I only used 5 of them, but that was only by chance as I synced and logged my food at the end of the day. Goal for tomorrow - log as I eat.
13: 241.6 Feedback: Lack of sleep actually hinders weight loss. On the plus side, I started my day off with an organic vegan sprouted protein shake with Brain Octane oil and Mighty Maca...and I logged it before the first sip! Great way to start my day!

Day - Weight - Comment
07/12 - 135.5 (-0.7lbs) - I’m really starting to slack with posting these on time. I think since I’ve shifted my focus to strength training I started to care less about my weight. I’m getting a lot of definition and transforming my body so much that it shows in a short time and I love it... so much so that the scale doesn’t even seem to matter anymore. Maybe this is the ultimate NSV? To not desire a number on the scale anymore! Well, if only life were that amazing, I still fixate on the scale but now it’s the BF% but shouldn’t it have been this whole time? A bit of an aha moment for me. I know my scale BF% is not 100% accurate bit it does seem to correlate fairly closely to other BF measurements I’ve done. More excitingly it has shown a decrease in my BF in the last few weeks even though my weight has gone up overall.
Loads of walking yesterday like 3 hours? Did a hike and other stuff. It was a rest day overall so no intense cardio or strength training.
Ate out since I need to grocery shop but all was fairly healthy. 16,053 steps. 131oz water.
07/13 - 134.5 (-1lb) - two rest days from strength training and weight has fallen back down as I expected. I’m going to hit the gym today so tomorrow will likely go back up. At some point though I expect to get into the 120s 😆 Ate out all day yesterday because I still need to shop but I kept it as healthy as possible. No strength training. 1.5 hours of activity yesterday including hiking, walking, and elliptical. 18,981 steps. 126oz water.

Goal for 10 day Challenge - lose 2.8 pounds (starting weight 136.1 ending weight 133.3 of STG should be doable with exercise and staying on track with food. No travel this round should help!)
Day/Weight/Comment
7/12 135.8 Yeah! into the 135.x range for the start of the round! Good workout in spin class today in terms of estimated calories burned, although heart rate did not really get into the peak zone - end of week fatigue? consequence of doing an interval class last night and step in the morning yesterday and not enough carbs? recovering still from weight training from Wednesday? new routine (did have lots of heavy resistance)? In any case, I have the weekend to take it easier, although hope to fit in the HIIT class in the morning. Cavatappi pasta with homemade duck bolognese sauce and smoked mozzarella for dinner (have to watch portion size!), so should have no problem recharging glycogen! Unfortunately I used up all the salad greens last night so no side salad for dinner; although did have a large salad at lunch. Will get fresh greens at the farmer's market tomorrow!
7/13 136.0 Up by 0.2 pounds, but likely water weight fluctuations; pasta last night (but should be within target) and still have some leg muscle soreness from the tabata class, followed by twister with the kids on Thursday. Did go to the circuit class this morning and stayed on with a small group to do some additional core work, so a great cardio (+ social) workout all over! Rest day for the serious heavy strength training today and tomorrow to recover and start the week fresh. Got fresh shrimp with the heads on at the farmer's market, so planning on making a shrimp stock for shrimp paella on the big green egg! No greens at the farmer's market (too late
) so need to go to the store to get them for a side salad (craving greens right now!) Thinking about making a keto blueberry/blackberry crumble (supposed to be only 100 calories) as a treat tomorrow night so will try to find almond flour. NSV - MFP 5 week prediction was to be at 141 today based on food diary, but was 5 pounds under!!!

Day/Weight/Comment
07/12 – 141.5 – Great start for the weekend. Our city is having an Italian Festival right outside my office door. I ate half a Stromboli for lunch yesterday and had a small salad at home for supper to compensate for the extra calories. Our grandson is spending the night tonight and he will want Chinese food, so no Italian for me today. I’m just realizing that after over a year of watching calories, these food decisions are starting to become second nature to me.
07/13 – 142 – Not unexpected due to the sodium in the Chinese food.

I am FOCUSED on heathy food choices and DETERMINED to achieve my goals!Age: 73; Height 5’2”; FemaleFri 12/07: 163.6: Goals: ✅ Still holding steady.
SW: 227lbs (Mar 2014)
LW: 153 (Oct 2016)
UGW: 153
Sat 13/07: 163.5: Goals: ✅ We finally got our we boat back in the water, and the new engine is so quiet, and no nasty fumes either. Result! Now all we need is a few warm sunny days to enjoy it.
Previous Round:Tue 02/07: 162.4: Goals: ✅Just trying to hold it steady.Daily Goals
Wed 03/07: 162.5: Goals: ✅
Thu 04/07: 162.5: Goals: ✅Had a busy day being foster mum to my daughter's 2 fur babies. Jack is very used to being with us, and is no trouble. Sydney is fairly new, and very nervous, and we haven't really got to know him until this week. DH is the doggie person in our house, but Sydney won't go near him, so I'm it! Worse than having a toddler in the house.
Fri 05/07: 162.5: Goals: ✅ Lots of walking and gardening today.
Sat 06/07: 162.5: Goals: ✅ Lots of garden work done today. Perfect weather with a bit of a breeze to take the edge off the heat.

I have been working hard on lower body strength for a couple of weeks. Also yesterday, DH asked me if I had lost weight again. It just goes to show that Progress isn't always about the scale dropping. Looking forward to the next round, and making more progress! 😂Food

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/12 134.6 I'm in an odd place with my weight loss journey. I am willing to take things much slower, but I have basically maintained for a while, and I'm sick of it. I don't eat very many calories and absolutely cannot go lower. My arms are still flabby, my stomach still has rolls when I bend over, and I know I have a little ways to go yet, though I feel much more confident than I did when I started, that's for sure! But I'm stuck.
Ultimately, I know I'm more comfortable about 10 pounds lower and I don't know how I'm going to get there! Starting to lurk on the maintenance forum to figure out how the heck you "recomp" when you're this close to the finish line, hence my new goal (I haven't done any exercise yet, and I have a feeling it involves exercise...)
07/13 132.2 Heh. I complained yesterday and today I'm already at this round's goal?! HOWEVER, I *know* it'll be up tomorrow. If only I could have hit this new low on a weekday!

ROUND 83 (my first round)
Day/Weight/Comment
07/12 - 333.6 - I am so excited! I'm a school administrator and have been off work for the summer since June 7th. When I weighed in on 6/8, I was 349.6. One of my goals this summer was to kick my exercise and good eating habits into high gear. Here I am barely over a month later and I'm down 16 lbs! I'm keeping my calories to 2,000 most days; if I do go over, then I exercise longer to ensure I have a deficit. The biggest change is that I've been doing a LOT of walking. I exercise 7 days a week, where my 1 rest day is just a 30 minute easy walk. The other days I'm averaging over 70 minutes of exercise per day. Eating out is almost non-existent...too much salt. I finally found the right combination of food, exercise, and sleep that works best for my body.
07/13 - 337.2 - I don't have a clue why the big jump overnight. But I'm still thrilled because Saturday is my actual weigh-in day, and today's weigh-in was over 3 lbs less than last week's.
