JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 103

MSWDiet · January 2020

Thanks 🤗 loads Jackie (@GrandmaJackie) and Molly (@IsMollyReallyHungry) and everyone else who helps keep these rounds going. I'd lost sight of how inspiring daily posts can be.
I appreciate everyone who participates. You all help keep me accountable and motivated.

172.6 starting weight for round 103

Day/Weight/Comment

01/28 172.6
This year I saw numbers I never believed I'd see again. I'm back below the obesity mark and intend to stay. Ten years ago I promised myself no birthday or gastric bypass "surgiversary" would find me obese again. I'm revising this to overweight.

Only 28lbs separate overweight and obese and 33lbs a solid normal 24 BMI and obese. Going forward overweight per the charts is no longer acceptable to me.

It's not about the charts. I experience changes with even small shifts in body fat. This round I want to reduce blood pressure and heart rate. I'll only achieve this in the 160's and below. I'll lose as much as I can this round. Low carb, fasting, & fat burning exercise will get me there.

Original goal weight: 130 lbs (hit this January 11, 2020)

Goal this round: maintain weight (or lose a little), work out 4 times a week, do elbow physical therapy every day, try to play pickleball again... haven't played since January 4th.

I'm trying a new thing - only weighing in once a week or less and focusing instead on staying under my calorie goals, being active and eating enough protein. Will see how this affects my mood and performance.

Day/Weight/Comment:

01/28: Nailed my protein goal yesterday (95 grams), ate below calories and had a short but excellent upper body workout. Another really great workout this morning - a new to me lower strength day that kicked my butt and I had time for 25 minutes of cardio on top of it. Followed with a high protein smoothie, great start to the day and challenge for me.

Round 103 - Jan.28 to Feb.6
Female, 5’, 66 years. SW – 165, GW – 163 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.) The 12 hr. IF along with everything else (portion control, watching calories in foods, exercise) seems to be working well for me.

This round I’m keeping on with IF and want to add getting to the gym 3x a week. I also want to better plan out my gym times. Right now I tend to get into it and spend about 1 ½ hrs. there and unconsciously I think that makes me put it off. If I can make it a real habit, even if it’s only 1 hr., in the end I’m ahead.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 – 165 – Good day at the gym yesterday. Guess that balanced the evening snack after practice.

TwistedSassette · January 2020

I need to get myself back on track properly! I'm tracking my calories and trying to be more active, so I think this is a good start.

GOALS THIS ROUND
- Lose any amount of weight
- Track calories 7/10 days
- Minimum of 10 mins activity per day
R103 SW 134.3kg

Day | Weight | Change | Comment
01/28 | 134.3kg | No change | Didn't eat properly or move a lot over the long weekend, but at least I avoided the booze, for the most part! Plan for this week is in place, now I just need to stick to it.

01/29 | 134.0kg | -0.3kg | Only did a little bit of walking yesterday, but did eat better overall than I have been. Need to do something about my snacking in the evenings - we tend to eat dinner very late (9-10pm) so I do get hungry in the meantime and will eat anything I can find! I will try to bring dinner earlier, though it's unlikely to be earlier than 8:30pm as the baby goes to bed about 8pm usually so that's realistically when we can cook dinner! I do notice my snacking is better on nights where we have leftovers to eat, as we do eat a lot earlier then. Something to work on, anyway!

My eating window was a bit longer yesterday as dinner took long was quite small and I then had a bunch of snacks, silly me. Today, I stayed home sick, sore throat turned into feeling overall unwell. So hardly any steps and no exercise.

Round 103

Please join us! Starting on 01/28 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 103
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

Eat at/under calorie goal each day (I’m full time breast-feeding, so that’s still a lot of calories!). Be especially watchful of evening eating. Hydrate. Move. Lose any amount.

Woot, I got a disagree. Always makes me shake my head, who is so miserable that they need to go around disagreeing with people anonymously? It's just weird.

TerriRichardson112 · January 2020

Never give up! Never give in!

2018:
My goal was to get down below 160, to allow me to enjoy the indulgences of holidays and celebrations.
2019
I exceeded that and have been below 150 for most of the last 2 months.
In 2018, I put on 10 lbs over the last 2 months of the year.
In 2019, I consistently lost weight since the end of July. I put on about 4lbs over the Christmas break, but was still below my original 2019 goal.
That's a WIN in my book!

2020
I need this more than ever now that I am in maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

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!

@designerdiscounts “disagrees” just have to be by accident. The button on my phone is so easy to press without intending to!
