JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 95

LisaW57

Intro:

Let me introduce myself. I struggled with my weight as a teen, topping out at nearly 200. I dropped it after high school and got to a healthy weight. Every major life changed has brought weight back on - having kids, pre-menopause, menopause, family tragedy, post menopause. I've knocked it back down each time, and have been surprised that each time required a different strategy, and resulted in a different type of lifestyle change to maintain. Each time as been much harder and slower. At this point, it's moving off at a snail's pace.

Motivation. I have a hyatial hernia. It does not bother me as long as I keep the weight at 150 or below. Every female on my mother's side has had arthritic knees, and I'm starting to feel twinges. They have also sustained falls and broken bones. My husband had a major health scare a coupe of years ago. The idea of being put out of commission by a preventable injury or illness scares the bejimminies out of me.

Goals. The goals at this stage are to drop weight to a healthy range, realign my eating style to a lifestyle that will keep me healthy into my golden years, and strengthen the muscles that support my knees, ankles, and shoulders, along with my core, to prevent injury.

Dropping weight post menopausal has been so difficult, I need this to be the last time. 10-15 pounds used to be easy to drop, so that was always my warning bell to focus. Not so much now. Looks like a 3-5 pound fluctuation will be it.

A healthy weight for me is 135-140. I've always looked anorexic at 120. We'll see how things are at 135, and go from there.

Strategy: Up the hydrating foods. Fruit with breakfast. Salad/veggies as bulk of lunch. Healthy dinner. Limit/eliminate processed carbs and sugars. Zero calorie intake after 8pm. Strength exercises 3 days on/1 day rest. Regular movement through day to compensate for desk job.

Female. Age 62 / 5'2"
OW: 158.5 (12/30/18)
UG: 135.0 (for now, healthy weight for me)

R95 SW: 146.3
R95 GW: 146.0 (you'll see why in a sec)

11/09 (S) 146.3 I was firmly in the 147's the week prior (147.1 on the 8th) This is a whoosh. Hoping it is the result of a modification to my WOE, where I've added fruit to breakfast and a handful of greens to lunch.

11/10 (S) 147.0 The expected spike after a whoosh. Had a higher than normal fat breakfast Saturday morning, skipped lunch, and had frozen appetizers (high sodium) for dinner watching the Xfinity Race (we're big NASCAR fans here). Skipped fruit altogether. Did have a salad with the appetizer dinner).

11/11(M) 147.0 Another big Sunday breakfast with high fat and no fruit. Skipped lunch. Again. Tacos during the Monster Cup Race. Higher fat than one expects. Sodium was high as well, so drink extra water to accommodate - and that looks to be a successful strategy. Blueberries for an evening snack.

So. Next weekend are the Championship races for all 3 series. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We make a huge big deal out of this. It's my family's Super Bowl. I need to plan ahead so I'm not stuck in kitchen and we have plenty to eat. I also need to make sure I'm moving early and afterwards - that's a lot of TV time.

11/12 (T) 146.9 Nice. Ripped the water intake, and stayed on plan. Tried a new recipe for gazpacho for lunch! Have enough of the ingredients for a second batch for lunch today! Had salmon cakes for dinner. Family tradition calls for fried white potatoes as a side 😳 I splurged with a half size portion and added a spinach salad. Win for everyone. 😊

Having the family in Sunday for the big race 🏁 Decided on a menu of chili w/ground turkey & a big bowl of salad. Oven baked chicken strips for the kiddos. Fruit & salad tray and hummus with low carb flat bread for snacks should keep me and daughter in-law out of the inevitable chips & dip. I think I've got this!

11/13 (W) 146.4 These are morning weigh ins. Yesterday was an on track day for eating and water intake. Worked late, missed dinner so had an after 8pm snack. I could have easily ditched my strength exercises, but dragged myself out of chair once I was fueled up. Good day!

11/14 (T) 147.0 Ugh. Skipped workout. Missed breakfast. Canned soup with big sodium for lunch. Last two days of work have been brutal prepping for a monthly briefing. Stress + long hours + high sodium + reduction in water intake + skipped workout. Had a pretty good idea it would show up on scale. Need to get back on track today. Still have time to end round at goal.

11/15 (F) 146.6 Work is still nuts. I did get some aerobics in early. Was mindful of water intake, and back on eating plan. I'm fortunate to not have to severely limit sodium, but it's clear that high sodium days pull me off target.

11/16 (S) 147.9 Ugh. All on me. I missed breakfast and lunch, and ended up grazing. Exhausted at the end of the day, I ended up ordering dinner in. Half a calzone. Imagine the sodium and high fat will meet a setback on the scale. Will need to focus. I've got the family Race Day here tomorrow. Good news is I have shopping and lots of cleaning to do - that and upping water should help get this back down.

11/17 (S) 146.7 That's better. I got my exercising in early. I did not hit grocery store, so that's on tap this morning. I spent all day yesterday tackling a corner of clutter that's been building up for almost 2 years. Nothing strenuous, but constant movement and several trips up and down the stairs. It's done! And I'd guess that garbage bag weighed around 20 pounds - so that certainly adds to the feeling of being lighter! 😜

Today's the big day! NASCAR Championship Race! Go Denny! I may adopt his hashtag #WeCanWeWi11 (he drives the 11 car). Need to get my exercises in, run to grocery store, cooking on tap, run the vac, and dust. Should get a good calorie burn! Menu is a ground turkey based chili, big bowl of salad, and a fruit & veggie tray. Hoping to get that last 7/10's off and hit the goal this round.

11/18 (M) 145.3 So. Managed the family gathering yesterday with no weight gain or sodium bloat. Yesterday's drop was a after a sodium bloat and mindful water intake. Normal for me. This is a whoosh. If it follows the norm, I will see a spike in the morning. But I'll take it!

R95 End Results - down 1 lb. This challenge has been helpful to me. I track food and exercise in MFP, but I don't journal. Keeping daily notes has been helpful at deciphering what works and what doesn't. Plus, this group has been incredibly supportive! I'll be back for R96!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/08 …..186.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/09 …..186.8 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1625 Calories In / 2666 Calories Out. 35 Net Carbs of mainly Spaghetti Squash. 18,221 Total Steps & 7.71 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 25 minutes. Something is going on with my sleep. I am sleeping more hours & even having some fleeting dreams again after decades of none to recall. I hope this is a good thing and not indicative of my recent health issues. Yesterday I walked at the school (no mall in my area) for 4.21 miles which took about 99 minutes and burned 551 extra calories. I also took a small cold walk around my property for 13 minutes burning an additional 66 calories. Total extra calorie burn 617.

11/10 …..186.6 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1150 Calories In / 2873 Calories Out. 28 Net Carbs. 18,138 Total Steps & 7.68 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 44 minutes. (Another great night). I walked for 95 minutes at 3.0 mph to burn 511. I rigorously cleaned tourist cabins for 54 minutes to burn 265 calories. I did low-impact aerobics for 20 minutes to burn 129 calories. Total extra calorie burn 905. Sunday (today) will also be challenging as the school is closed to walkers. Getting creative again…..

11/11 …..185.8 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1208 Calories In / 3039 Calories Out. 36 Net Carbs. 18,477 Total Steps & 7.82 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 27 minutes. I walked for 17 minutes at 4.0 mph burning 113 cals, I walked for 39 minutes at 3.0 burning 222 cals, I did misc cardio exercises for 31 minutes burning 133 cals and I did my crazy dancing in my livingroom for 58 minutes burning 467 calories. Sample song “While my guitar gently weeps” by the Beatles.

11/12 …..188.6 ….. Here is what I do know. Over 2000 calories In/ ??? Calories Out. Over 200 Carbs including Pizza. 15,093 Total Steps & 6.39 Total Miles. 9/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 19 minutes. Yesterday was a combination of emotional eating and splurging. Today is redemption day. I will be walking at the school and eating a combined low cal/low carb diet. Tightening the belt. No regrets. No guilt.

11/13 …..188.6 ….. [/color=fuchsia Yesterday’s stats: 2171 Calories In / 3032 Calories Out. 164 Total Carbs. 21,453 Total Steps & 9.08 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 2 minutes and woke up tired. Yesterday I walked at 3.5 mph for 102 minutes school-hall walking and burned an additional 657 Calories over normal activity.

11/14 …..188.8 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1730 Calories In/3226 Calories Out. 85 Net Carbs. 26,157 Total Steps & 11.07 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 40 minutes and woke up extremely tired. Early guests arriving so no chance for more sleep. I school-hall walked for 122 minutes burning an additional 676 calories over normal activity.
11/15 …..188.0 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 2081 Calories In / 2834 Calories Out. 88 Net Carbs of Junk mini candy & 2% milk. 20,149 Total Steps & 8.53 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 30 minutes and needed much more, but the Directv technician was scheduled for this morning (still not here!) so I had to get my fat lazy butt up. Yesterday I walked 104 minutes in the school halls and burned 600 calories.

11/16 …..187.8 ….. Over Calorie, Over Carb. I think I lost 0.2 due to a much needed TMI likely caused by the junk I ate, but I’ll take it. Yesterday’s stats: 2135 Calories In / 2514 Calories Out. 150 Total Carbs. 15,130 Total Steps & 6.4 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit step hours. I’m not sure about sleep, I charged my fitbit last night & forgot to put it back on before sleeping. I think I hit over 5 hours but still woke up tired from the sugary carbs. Already starving today due to the carb intake last night, so now I will have a tougher day because of it. I must remember this when my binges come on. I walked 52 minutes burning 252 calories around my property in 3 different spurts. School closed to walking and too cold and icy outside. It was a paperwork day at the home/office.

11/17 …..187.0 ….. If I watch my P’s & Q’s I can break even this round. I’m not too happy that I couldn’t make more progress, but I ate most of the days at maintenance range, so I guess I get what I asked for. I was invited to dinner by my neighbor and the salmon was great. The sweet potato was delicious and healthy but a bit high on my carb list. I skipped the bread and allowed for the sweet potato in my day. All is well. Yesterday’s stats: 1418 Calories In / 2649 Calories Out. 45 Net Carbs. 17,247 Total Steps & 7.3 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 9 minutes and woke up refreshed. I walked for 60 minutes at about 3.0 mph burning 347 calories. I aerobic danced for 31 minutes burning 203 calories. Total extra calorie burn was 550. Sample song “Lady Marmalade” by Patti LaBelle because it is, after all, one of the best dance songs EVER! One more day to lose 0.2 to break even. Anything over that, I get to type in pink so I’m staying focused!

11/18 …..185.8 ….. A whoosh I didn’t expect but JUST IN TIME. Honestly, probably not deserved because I ate another meal after I closed out MFP last night. Hungry, shaky. I stopped a binge in its tracks, but I ended over calorie & carb after all. Yesterdays stats: 2078 Calories In / 2671 Calories Out. 81 Net Carbs. 15,135 Total Steps & 6.4 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 3 minutes! That is great for me! Did that contribute to my whoosh? I guess I’ll never know. I walked for 21 minutes at 4.0 mph and I walked for 43 minutes at 2.5 mph. Total extra calorie burn 337. A great round everyone!

Looks like a lot of us met our goal and those who didn't came darn close. Nice work everyone!

69 y/o female (5’7”) who enjoys hiking, lifting weights, walking with my doggie (Penny Lane) and swimming (but only in the summer......LOL). I've lost 45 lbs to date but have been at the high end of my maintenance weight all year and would love to get back to losing that elusive 10 lbs. I originally lost 60 lbs from 2013 to 2016 but have put 15 back on over the last few years. I’m not going to even try to get down to 150 again but will settle for 155 especially since the holidays are just around the corner.

RSW: 165 on 11/08
RGW: 163
UGW: 155

Maintenance calories are around 1600 to 1700 with a little exercise. My goal calories right now are 1300 to 1400 without eating any back unless I really burn it up. I figure my logging mistakes make up for the 300 to 400 extra calories I might burn 4 or 5 days a week. I also tend to eat a bit more on the weekend. This year's weight gain is basically from exercising a bit less and not changing my intake. DOH, who knew?

Day/Weight/Comment
11/09: 164.8 Did a 2 mile quick walk with Penny this morning.
11/10: 164.2 Managed a quick shoulder/tricep workout this morning
11/11: 163.4 This one surprised me! We’ll see if it lasts. No real exercise today, just a long work day
11/12: 164.0 A little bump up but had ice cream after closing my diary out. Just a walk and work today
11/13: 163.7 I really need to focus if I want to reach my goal. Physical Therapy today so not sure how many extra calories I’ll actually burn
11/14: 163.5 Slowly but surely I guess. Taking Penny out for a 2 mile walk (restricted to 2 for now) and doing my PT exercises
11/15: 163.3 If I can control myself this weekend I might make this round’s goal. Lots of exercise today, 65 minutes of hip therapy (at the gym and at home) and 60 minutes of strength training.
11/16: 163.5 Eating lunch with a dear relative today at a hamburger place but will try to settle for the soup....LOL
11/17: 163.3 Luckily my sandwich yesterday wasn't very good so I didn't really bother eating much of it.....LOL
11/18: 162.7 Kept things low yesterday and it paid off. Monday's are a tough weigh in day!

Goal(s) for this round: Get under 215.0 and stay there. Keep up my progress 1) planning better when I'm having "cheat" days (parties, eating out with family and friends, et cetera), 2) limiting alcohol intake (no more than two drinks on any occasion, stick with red wine or spirit + diet soda) and 3) continuing to lift weights at the gym 3x/wk (no more misses without making them up, barring serious circumstances... I might have to miss a day next week again, though... last one).

Day/Weight/Comment

11/09: 216.0 (+0.2)/18.1 (+0.1). I honestly half-expected this number to be much higher. It isn't that I did anything wrong; I worked out last night and I ate "reasonably" reasonably. I think I thought I might have been dehydrated a bit at my last weigh-in, and that this could have accounted for my significant final drop in weight. I had plenty of water yesterday, though. Apparently ~216 is a thing. I'm excited.

11/10: 216.4 (+0.4)/18.1 (0.0). I had a nice brunch with my wife yesterday; totally stayed on plan regarding food quality, but probably had a bit more than I should have regarding quantity. I'm headed in the gym today, and my wife is out with her sister all day, so I should have a "good day" regarding health, fitness, and food intake.

11/11: 215.6 (-0.8)/18.0 (-0.1). I hit the gym hard yesterday, and I stayed within my calories. I'm going to chill today at home and try to limit my snacking.

11/12: 217.2 (+1.6)/18.2 (+0.2). This one is a bit of a headscratcher, unless I go back 2-3 days. Even then, it doesn't make a lot of sense. I limited my snacking significantly yesterday, though dinner was a bit of a $#!+show (not that bad, but could have been better). I'm going to roll with it; I won't let it derail me. I'll be in the gym tonight trying to work this off.

11/13: 216.0 (-1.2)/18.1 (-0.1). So this is a stressful week, I guess. I skipped out on my workout yesterday so I could stay at home and work diligently on meeting my Friday deadline. Things should be better after Friday. A lot better. I'm just going to have to grit my teeth and get through the next few days. I'm going to try to stick to my goal, but I will likely be pretty happy if I was simply able to maintain my starting weight for this round. I did pretty well with food yesterday.

11/14: 216.0 (0.0)/18.1 (0.0). I'm at work already. It's pitch black outside. Not cool. I only slept five hours or so last night, so my weigh-in was likely a little funky. Hopefully I won't be too grouchy today. Food yesterday was fine. I probably won't be in the gym until Saturday morning. Still working on my Friday deadline.

11/15: 215.0 (-1.0)/18.0 (-0.1). There's something to this "skipping one workout per week" thing, at least my scale thinks so. This weekend is going to be a little rough (birthday party, nice dinner out with my wife for our upcoming wedding anniversary), but I'm headed into the weekend in a "good place." I'll be going to the gym tonight with my wife NO MATTER WHAT!!!

11/16: 215.4 (+0.4)/18.0 (0.0). I went to the gym last night with my wife, and for the first time in a long time I ended up not losing. Not an emergency, but I noticed. I'll be at my sister-in-law's birthday party tonight. I'll try to be good.

11/17: 217.8 (+2.4)/18.2 (+0.2). Saturday night didn't turn out so well. I "lost it" a little bit at the party.

11/18: 217.2 (-0.6)/18.2 (0.0). Looks like I went and had myself a weekend. Still, the damage is relatively light, given what occurred on Saturday night, particularly when I pay attention to my 10-day averages for the round. Back to the grind!

R95 EW/EBF%: 217.2 (+1.4)/18.2 (+0.2), AW/ABF%: 216.3 (-3.1)/18.10 (-0.3)

@tinabambina29, don't be scared it will be okay and you'll feel so much better afterwards that you got it done. Look at it as an opportunity to lose a few lbs, not that it's the recommended way! Seriously though, try not to worry, you'll get through it and it will just be a small blip on the screen of your life!

@kmfeig87, I'm sorry you have to go through chemo but stay positive and hopefully it won't be too bad. I know everyone's experience is different and I'm pulling for yours to be an easier one. Wishing you the best of luck and sending lots of healing vibes and positive thoughts!

Thank you!!!

11/14 - 207 It's nice to see the scale go back down! Went to my consultation today and looks like I will be getting all 4 Wisdom teeth removed. I'm scheduled for next Friday and am super nervous. I was honestly hoping to get it done sooner, but with work it's tough.

Best of luck! I had mine out when I was 18. Take it real easy over the weekend after they get taken out. Pudding, mashed potatoes, and the blender were my best friends for the first few days. Even better if you have a friend or family member to help you out with making food the first few days. And be sure to follow the doc's instructions to the letter. Luckily I can't speak from experience but dry sockets are no joke! Nervous is normal, but it'll be over before you know it.

Thank you so much! This really made me feel a lot better

@tinabambina29 Your dentist should be able to give you a prescription for your anxiety. Just 1 or 2 pills for the day of.

Thank you! I know he will be putting me under and hopefully they give me something for the anxiety because I'm super nervous.

11/09 - 204.2: YAY!!!

11/10 - DNW

11/11 - 206.2 Man this weekend kicked my *kitten*. I was doing so good and then within a couple days whoop! I was celebrating my birthday early with my friends on Saturday. We went to Glen Ivy and had some drinks and a nice dinner then a little cake. I also ended up having in and out yesterday I didn't want to be too restricted and honestly just enjoyed myself. We all had a good talk about making better choices and they urged me to make time for myself and workout more because I've been complaining about stopping. I am bummed about my gain, but also very motivated. Hawaii is in one month and I really want to at least feel better and more energetic when I go.

11/12 - 207.4 This round is starting off horribly for me. I didn't make it in the gym again last night. Got in my gym clothes ready to go, but decided not to last min. My bottom left wisdom tooth decided to join the party. Even though it's impacted it has been pushing my gums and I'm still sore. I know I need to push through it, but it's just so painful. Hoping for a better day tomorrow.

11/13 - 208 This gain just punched me in the gut
I feel so sick and I'm in so much pain. I called my dentist because I'm worried the wisdom tooth is infected so got them to prescribe me antibiotics. I also asked them for a number to a specialist and will be taking the morning off work tomorrow to go for a consultation. I really wanted to put this off, but I just can't take the pain anymore and will have to get them removed ASAP. I'm scared, but also tired from all of this.

11/14 - 207 It's nice to see the scale go back down! Went to my consultation today and looks like I will be getting all 4 Wisdom teeth removed. I'm scheduled for next Friday and am super nervous. I was honestly hoping to get it done sooner, but with work it's tough.

11/15 - 207.2

11/16 - 207

11/17 - 206.8

11/18 - 206.8 I used this past weekend to get a lot of cleaning done. I was hoping to get in the gym Saturday, but decided to take it easy. I've had this pain in my stomach and not sure if it's my TOM approaching or what. I am a little late, but mine is known to be all over the place usually. It's also been a stressful week with work. I left Friday and while driving home got a bad bloody nose out of nowhere. My wisdom teeth thankfully aren't throbbing anymore, but I'm still on antibiotics until tomorrow. Maybe that's what's making my stomach all wonky. Still nervous about the removal happening this Friday morning. I'm just really nervous about being put under (I've never had that done)

Really appreciate everyone's kind words and advice Hoping to kick butt this next round!

CamandJarvis

@tinabambina29 I was put under for mine (first time) and I was so nervous but it worked out really well for me. I think I did better being under than being awake as any dental work gives me such bad anxiety that I start getting physically sick (a lot of bad experiences) and going under kept me from being aware of what was going on. Luckily the nurse knew my position and stayed in my line of sight and kept giving me reassuring hand squeezes and calming words until I was out. Then she made sure she was the first one I saw when I came to so that I had a friendly face to focus on as my mind adjusted.

Luckily, I didn't have dry socket but man was I scared a couple of times because I pushed the limits of doc's orders. Don't be like me!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/09-- 207.0 I went to the gym yesterday and it was great, I'm working with my coach to do 10 regular pushups and I'm almost there. Then I went out and had a great dinner at Panera Bread with my hubby. Plan today is to go out and do another day of c25k and then take dog out for a long trail walk.
11/10--207.4 I had a great run yesterday, but the rain kept me from taking the dog on a long walk. Going to see strength coach today and then take dog out on that long trail walk. Dinner out tonight, so I will probably be up tomorrow.
11/11--208.1 I had a great dinner last night, but even better was that after dinner both my husband and I decided that we didn't need any dessert. I went out this morning and finished w4d3 of c25k, and then I went to a spa day that my husband had purchased for me.
11/12--207.2 Going out to an event for lunch where I get to have unlimited soups for a donation. The soups are made by the top chefs in the city, and all money from the lunch goes to charity. So, I expect to be up tomorrow. Today is rest day for me.
11/13--206.3 I made a mistake and the soup event wasn't yesterday, but is instead today, so no bump up today. However, I expect the bump today. Strength coach tonight.
11/14--206.3 Soup event was great yesterday. Instead of having full bowls of all the soups I wanted to try, I instead only asked for 1/2 of a serving. I went to my strength coach yesterday and it hit me that after 9 months of training, I am at the point where I don't think to myself how I don't want to work out with my coach, but now it's just a regular part of my weekly schedule. It's something that I just have to do, it's no longer a choice. The plan is to go out and do another session of c25k, but after my workout yesterday my legs are sore, so who knows.
11/15--206.7 No run last night, I was so sore and exhausted from workout the day before, but I will run tomorrow. The dog woke me up early this morning and I couldn't get back to sleep, so I decided to go to the gym before work instead of after. I hate going to the gym so early in the morning, but it's definitely nice to have it done before work.
11/16--205.9 I did some extra snacking last night, but I know part of the reason for the snacking was that I was very tired. I'm going out for a run this morning, and then depending on whether it rains or not, I plan on taking the dog out for a long walk. My husband is making tamales this weekend.
11/17--207.6 Yesterday morning I went out and finished w5d1 of c25k and it was great. Sadly, after I came home from the run I did nothing for the rest of the day. Looking back, I don't even think I drank more than 1 glass of water yesterday and today I woke up dehydrated. I'm going to see my strength coach today, and definitely will take dog out for a longer walk today. My husband is still making tamales today, but today a friend of ours is also coming over to help with the tamales.
11/18--207.0 My weight this round has definitely been up and down, it's been a 2.2lb swing. I had a great workout yesterday and at the end of the workout my coach, a man of very little words, told me that I had done great over the past week! If it's not raining after work I plan on doing another run of c25k, and then I plan on watching another episode of The Crown.

Day/Weight/Comment
EW round 94: 114.8, BF% 27.5

11/09 DNW out of town for start of round. Did intervals this morning with dog and kids - run until HR reached 85% of max, and then walked until it reached 65% (repeat as many reps) so got a nice cardio workout in, though may have put too much strain on my achilles tendon. Went to the health and fitness center in town and was able to get my strength workout in so hopefully worked off the coffee milkshake (with whey protein at least) I had for lunch! Challenge dinner out tonight again!

11/10 DNW Was over on calories yesterday, but not too bad since I switched strength training to Sat from Sun so will just go under target for today. Achilles still a little tender from the intervals yesterday, so treating with ice and ibuprophen (rest + elevation too). Leisurely walk this morning with dog and kids helped, but avoiding any high impact exercise for now! 3 hour drive home, so will try to keep it elevated! Back to normal routine tomorrow and weigh-ins.

11/11 114.6, BF% 27.4 Glad to see a drop after the weekend with ice cream, a milkshake, pasta and wine! Muscle weight increased (if I believe scale :-) so back on track for the round! Incorporating Marcona almonds into the lentil/kale salad (https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/make-ahead-lentil-salad) with grilled chicken tonight!

11/12 114.0, BF% 27.3 Steady drop again! Back to upper end of ideal weight for my height and 1.2 lbs to get back to previous low, but NSV like waist measurements and visible flab are definitely improving! Strength training in the am with trainer, and then will fit cardio in after work. Extra calories today, so fettuccine and shrimp for dinner.

11/13 114.0, BF% 27.2 Holding steady for weight, but BF dropped by 0.1% (often see bumps with increase carbs and weight training). Cardio after work.

11/14 114.0, BF% 27.3 Still holding here… Strength workout today with trainer felt great and that I am making progress! Followed up after work with spin class for cardio - average HR at 78% of max for the class.


11/15 113.6, BF% 27.1 Yes - going down! Not the typical whoosh of a pound (which usually bounce around more) but modest drop so might be more stable! Spin class this morning for cardio and going out for dinner tonight with family. Likely sushi so may see a bump with sodium tomorrow but should be OK calorie wise. Not likely to get back to low of last round, but OK with this total loss if can hold here!

11/16 112.6, BF% 26.9 Whoosh! + Fiber finally kicked! A little surprised by the drop given 2 meals out yesterday, so will take it! Having friends over for dinner so calories will be over for the day likely. Started to go to the gym for xtrain, but the lot was blocked off for football later in the day and did not have time to walk from one of the other lots. Decided to treat it as a complete rest day! (have not been good about taking those lately but know I should!) Making an iron sculpture in the afternoon with family - will be cold outside carving the “scratch block” but looking forward to it!

11/17 113.2, BF% 27.0 not surprised. Great dinner with friends, but over on calories for the day (food + wine) but worth it! Weight lifting after lunch with DH, and will probably go to spin class right before dinner for cardio to get back on track!

11/18 114.4, BF% 27.3 The weekend bump of food wine + DOMS from strength training yesterday! Down 0.2 from last Monday, and down a total of 0.4 for the challenge so progress! Actually pretty close to target with new calories (should be about 0.49 lbs/10 days) but slower than rate in the past so just need to get my mind around the fact that with more calories now (within 100-200 of maintenance calories) the rate is slowing down!

See everyone for the next round!!!

Victory was at-hand, but a life-changing incident happened, yesterday, and I completely abandoned my MFP lifestyle.

A big "thank you" to all of my patient and loyal MFP friends, especially Beth. I am tired and weary, and I've decided to check-out.

@oldephatguy A 2.3 loss in 10 days is great! particularly with all that life can throw at you! hang in there!

Round 95 – November 9 –18
Female, 5’, 66 years. Goals – finish calorie log each day, only yogurt or fruit in the evening and nothing after 9 p.m. SW – 163.6, GW – 162 something, UGW – 140. (This really should be 125 or 130 but that seems like such a long ways to go and 140 would be a huge improvement.)
Last round was crazy going up into the 164’s and even saw one weight that was 165 though it was down when I reweighed. This round have a couple of days to the denturist (and shopping in the city) but if I can keep that under control everything else is on an even keel.
Day/Weight/Comment
11/09
11/10
11/11 – 163.6 If the rain stays away will rake some leaves this pm.
11/12 – 163.8 – Did rake my leaves and do a few last things in the yard. Today it’s snowing and I’m glad to be finished with the outside stuff. Did a few min. of exercise this am and hoping to do some abs exercise later. Busy desk/sewing day today so will have to make myself get up and move.
11/13
11/14 – 164.6
11/15 – 164.4
11/16 – 164.2 – Two days of early trips to the city to finish up on the denture visits (hopefully). It is quite a journey but I’m Ok with the results. I did weigh the last couple of days but didn’t get on here as was too tired and distracted by the time I got home. Some of my choices yesterday were way too sweet but did try to keep total calories in mind so am hoping I don’t see a big uptick tomorrow.
11/17 – 164.8 – There’s the uptick from eating a couple of danishes yesterday. Actually was 165.2 the first time I stepped on the scale – a number to motivate me. Feeling a little under the weather today like I’m fighting cold germs and it’s rain/snow outside so going to take it easy and rest and drink lots.
11/18 – 164.6 – A pound up from the beginning … but it was a stressful week. Feeling heathier today and looking forward to next round. Got a few little projects done last night and ate well so that is always good for setting the tone for the week .
