We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

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.

2/10 120.0 We finally went to brunch at noon. That was my OMAD. Water, coffee and 2 glasses of champagne. I slept until 8 this morning - 8 hours 22 minutes! My one hour inactivity warning chirped 5 minutes after I got out of bed! Should have been jogging in my sleep!

2/7 161.1 5 miles I almost cried looking at the scale this morning. I was under on calories and not particularly high on sodium. I can only guess that I might be retaining water from my weight lifting the night before and 5 miles yesterday. Staying positive is very challenging these days. I am happy that I'm more than 10% of my walking goal for the year. That's good news. I tried on a size 12 pair of jeans yesterday - that's good news considering I was in a 20 when I started. That's good news. The 14s are a little loose so I'm not losing pounds but something is happening.

2/8 160.9 0 miles Too cold and rainy to walk last night.

2/9 160.5 4 miles Tried to hike but the trail was too muddy. I went back to the car after a mile, changed shoes and got in another 3 on a paved trail. The park where I was has both rugged and paved trails. It's a local favorite. A little far from my house but I was glad I was there.

2/10 160.1 6 miles The 2nd longest walk yesterday. It was misting a little when I started but it cleared up before my hat got soaked. My map failed me, I had only planned on walking four and by the time I got back to the car I was at 5.5 and felt good so I did another half loop around the lake. My legs were tired when I was done but I felt great.

2/11 159.4 0 miles Took yesterday off from walking. I'll get in at least 3 this afternoon depending on the weather. It's supposed to snow tomorrow so I will go to the gym then. Happy to be down a little. I would love to end the round in the 150s.

2/12 159.5 0 miles I changed cable/internet providers and as is typical in these things it did not go smoothly. I couldn't leave to take my walk because they were there for HOURS. The last company took out the old cable and it had to be rewired to the house. I did do some serious house cleaning and turned on my counter so I got some credit. It's snowing like crazy now. I'd love to go walk in the woods before it gets deep but instead, I'm sitting at my desk doing bank stuff (I mean when I'm done posting this )

@bearly63 When I went down in September (before BF knew he was moving) I bought a cute gift for my coworker (from Texas) and it came with 2 of them! So I decided once I move, I'm planting. Hopefully picture shows up, but its bluebonnets! I keep it with me all the time but I'm petrified, even inside my home, it will die in Kansas. So the time has come for these cuties! I'm so excited for the wildflowers

Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 - 371.6 - No change from yesterday. Slow and steady. I've lost almost 17 lbs. in the 4 weeks since starting this *Give me 10 days* challenge.
02/08 - 372.1 - A slight uptick, prolly from a little cheat day. Mom wanted a donut, so I bought one for myself. Put me very close to my caloric goal.
02/09 - 375.0 - Huge gain. I had an urge for pizza and cheesey bread. And ate most of it. If I start going down again over the next few days, I'm fine with the occasional splurge. If not, I may have to rethink the idea of a cheat day... at least to this degree.
02/10 - 373.8 - Coming back down after a really bad eating weekend. It's ok as long as it only happens very seldom.
02/11 - 372.8 - I'm staying with my initial thoughts that the occasional cheat day is ok, especially if it slows down a weight loss that is too rapid.
02/12 - 370.8 - Back to the downward trend. I might still make my goal to get under 370 before this round.

Date/Weight/Comment
2/7/20 181.2 Lunch out-order lower carb food and use my hunger cues to know when to stop eating. Drink water. Short gym workout.

2/8/20 182.3 This is the result of restaurant food. Water content went up 1%, normally stable.

2/10/2020 182.8 Ran-30, arms-15, swim-30

2/11/2020 181.7 I increases my breakfast to oatmeal. With my more intense workouts I need more calories in the morning. plank 35s. analysis shows that my Cuban restaurant lunch increased my weight by three pounds, two of which were water. It took about three days to get back to where I was. I ordered a steak burrito and I was very hungry so I ate all of it. Next time I go out to lunch I will eat a salad before I go and try to only eat half. Walked dog 3.25 miles. Did well with eating and other goals today.

2/12/2020 181.3 This is what I want to see. Going down two days in a row.

2/13/20 Book Club Dinner- 1) limit wine to two glasses, 2) choose one carb to eat with dinner, 3) have a small serving of dessert. This may set me back, but it is one of the really good parts of my life.

2/14/2020
2/15/2020
2/16/2020

Goals: 1) bed at 10pm, 2) eat 50% vegetables at lunch, 3) bring a healthy snack when out, 4) eat on plan, 5) exercise 250 cal/day minimum.

Hi. My name is Trina.

Hoping to end my frustrating stretch and start making progress back down to where I was before the holidays. Good news is that I've been doing this long enough that I'm not ready to throw in the towel and I figure it has to work at some point. Bad news is I've been doing everything right for 3 weeks and not made any progress on getting below what I thought was a temporary bump up. I'll hang in if you all hang in!

Day/Weight/Comment:
RSW 140.5
02/07 - 140.5 At least it isn't up. Low cals yesterday to make up for the day before....plus wasn't too hungry. A bit irritated not to see more friendlies on the scale!
02/08 - 140.0 Still on track. Still irritated. Lots of movement yesterday, big deficit.
02/09 - 138.5 Happy to see this number and trying not to get to excited. I deserve it...but that doesn't mean it will stick around.

02/10 - 139.5 Yup. Scale is up (to it's old antics.)
02/11 -141.5 Stress eating yesterday. I failed to breathe adequately yesterday during radiation, or the computer failed, but one way or another they sent me home without radiation. This potentially throws a wrench in the spring break plans as I won't finish til Monday during spring break. My lovely 17 year old son was so sweet. He definitely thought my health should come first and that skipping the last treatment would be pretty dang stupid.
02/12 - 142 -- Ate better yesterday and got my walk in, but it was a really stressful afternoon. I ended up on the radiation table for 90 minutes with my arms up over my head while they recalibrated and fussed around to get the machine to work. All I had to do was breathe, and occasionally take in a deep breath and hold it. Apparently that was more than I could handle. By 60 minutes in I was seriously melting down, light headed and my arms were dead and in serious pain. I tried yoga breathing, meditating, prayer and could not get past it. They gave me one break (in which I did melt down) and then I managed to get through the final 30 minutes and they did finally do the first treatment. The appointment ran an hour over and I was supposed to pick up my son and bring him to the dentist. Of course I didn't have my phone and had no idea of the time anyway. Luckily he called my husband and was only 15 minutes late. Wish me luck today.

Day/Weight/Comment

02/07 242.6. Feels good to be taking steps to address the weight issue instead of continuing to surrender to it. Logging food is a must this time. Decided I wasn't hungry at breakfast so with the exception of a splash of skim in my coffee I have bee 15 hours between meals. Time for lunch now! Will keep it "between the lines."

02/08 240.8, morning blood sugar 117. I'll take it. Logging food did indeed make me consider choices and alternatives as the day waxed late and I had fewer calories left in the budget. Weekends are ALWAYS a problem for me, though, so I need to keep my head in the game.

02/09 238.8 morning blood sugar 112. This surprises me, as I gave in and ate 4 slices of french bread with dinner. (Blue cheese and honey drizzle, my resistance was futile.) Needless to say, I hadn't prepared for this splurge so I was 300 calories over target. I have to remember that, for me, the end result of the day starts with what decisions I make at breakfast. I also have to remember that for whatever reason it takes my body two days to show the consequences of a bad eating day, so I can't get too happy with today until I see tomorrow.

02/10 239.8. more later.

02/11 239.9 blood sugar 99. Well the sugar says I ate okay yesterday, even if the scale is still protesting about the weekend. Stayed under 1300 calories yesterday. But I woke up hungry this morning so I am going to have to plan carefully to avoid temptations. I see lots of water in my future!

02/12 no weigh in. Very rough day / night, spent a lot of it at emergency room with Wyfe. She has some very weird stuff going on with her blood chemistry. PCP saw her yesterday and called an ambulance, potassium levels so high they were afraid her heart might stop beating on the way to hospital. Many hours and many tests later they concluded she is not in imminent danger and she was sent home with instructions to see a hematologist as soon as she can schedule it. Aging is not for sissies. Anyway, as it applies to me, I ate junk yesterday and when I got home I completely spazzed out with emotional eating. The scale and I were not on speaking terms this morning.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/06 …..192.1….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
02/07 …..192.1 ….. I am starting my new plan today. I will closely monitor my glucose readings to see how it affects me. I watching also to see what happens with my tummy. So far this morning, it feels like taking my brain out and turning it completely backwards. Logging will be extra important so I can figure all this out. This experiment will likely be temporary. In the end, I don’t think it is what is normally best for me overall. Just what I need right now in regards to several medical issues. Good luck everyone this round!

02/08 …..192.0 ….. My gluclose numbers have been running too high (which is what my medication normally treats as high glucose has been my main problem over the years). Probably because of the carb increase. But it doesn’t cause the sickness and panic eating that the lows do. I will continue with my experiment and see what happens. I am just not used to considering the calories as much so it’s a brain swicheroo thing but I’ll get it. I know lower carb is better for my glucose so I am going to experiment on eating fewer calories but higher carb. The best way to explain is maybe less actual Keto and more low or thoughtful carb intake (low glycemic vs high glycemic etc). I don’t yet know what the numbers will be. Under 50 carbs? Under 100 Carbs? I’m going to try to tweak this thing for sure. If I see any persistent dangerous levels, I will make immediate necessary changes. Let’s see how this continues to go.

02/09 …..193.0 ….. Pizza. But too much. This experiment is finding me able to eat whatever I want pretty much, or so it seems at first. Then, I find it’s the quantities I must watch closer than I usually have to. So it's not quite as easy as I thought. I don’t know if I’m equipped for this mindset. It just makes me feel like I’ve thrown diet right out the window, until it doesn't make me feel that way at all! Still a restriction, but of a different kind. I suppose that whole and healthy is always the way to go, regardless of which plan you choose. Then, I forgot to test my blood sugar this morning so I lost the opportunity to see how badly pizza affects it. One thing for certain, no sugar drops in sight. I’ve got to worry now about it going too far north instead of south. I travel tomorrow out of town with brother for his test results. Likely a restaurant. I will not turn it into a binge day!

02/10 …..193.1 ….. I call this a normal fluctuation this morning. Traveled today and became a human vacuum cleaner. I really don’t even know at this point what my calories should be with this experiment I am on. The same as before? A bit more? I just don’t know. I am consistently hitting in the 1500’s which normally puts me over. I think this is for the birds. I’m rethinking but still nervous about my glucose. I guess I’ll just have to sleep on it. All in all, I honestly don't know is its such a bad idea, I just don't think I'm ready for such a major transition. I dunno. Gotta lot to think about still yet.

02/11 …..194.8 ….. Still a weight gain after travel & restaurants but overeating is overeating on any plan. School is finally reopened today. It has been closed since after session on the 3rd. closed to massive student and staff illness with the flu. So It has been over a week since I could do my normal walking. It is so hard to gauge my experiment when most of my exercise has come to a halt. Northern Michigan has been gripped with this flu. I was sick most of last week myself and though everything including our government offices were shut down over it, I still am not sure if it was flu or body organ pain. I swear it felt more like pancreatitis or gall bladder. I’m still trying to use my fats more as a lever and give my gall bladder a break! I have a new idea for today. We’ll see how it pans out. In the meantime, my morning fast glucose numbers are THROUGH THE ROOF. First too low, then too high. There has got to be a happy medium in there somewhere! I’m going to follow through for another few days with the new ideas & information I’m acquiring. If it doesn’t get any better, I’m back to my low-carb basics! The next few days should be little (to no) traveling and more walking again. This will give me a better picture with my normal exercise and movement routine back in place. Quilting Jaine Your tip to drink plenty of water when traveling as it will flush but also require you to stop more often and MOVE, is so insightful. The VERY BEST thing about this particular challenge is the insights people have and share. Sometimes someone can just see things from an angle I hadn’t seen or thought of. I always travel with my hot black coffee, that helps a bit, but the water is even better (and healthier). From now on, I bring both! I am ALWAYS, ALWAYS low on my water intake when I travel. NO MORE! Thanks so much for another great tip!

02/12 …..194.6 ….. A little better but still over calories. Tweaking but without much faith. Walked at the school yesterday during DGS #1 tutoring. Walked 83 minutes burning 516 extra calories. I burned 2746 Calories total for the day which is more than I ate I walked 7.3 Miles total for the day which was 17,243 Total Steps. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 25 minutes but woke up refreshed. I am still not getting in my water. Staying busy and not thinking of it like I should. I’m a mess really but I’m going to see this through.

@eyesopennow - Oh dear, what a worry! Hope they manage to sort your wife out soon, you are both in my thoughts.

P.S. she hasn't overdosed on bananas has she? That banana diet is really dangerous!

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.
Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 – 166 – Out for dinner Thurs., for sure way over cals.
02/08 – 165.8
02/09 - 166
02/10 – 165.8 – Rather late to the game and thought about skipping the Round but then thought, “And would I end up making those cheat days? Oh, very possibly – just by accident, of course, you know.” So back at it. Off to the gym today and sunshine in absolutely blue sky after days of gray fog and snow.
02/11 – 165.6 – Sorting through papers and came across the Dr.’s handout on invisible GERD. Untreated it can affect your vocal chords! As someone who loves singing and has worked pretty hard at improving the last few years, this is major motivation. Of course, the primary suggested treatment is lose weight. The second is no food in the evening.
02/12 – 164.8 – So happy to see this. Made tuna quiche yesterday because my husband, who won’t eat it, was away and I love it. Thought I was way over calories but stuck to my determination to log and found out that I was ok – that kept me from giving up and eating random stuff. It helped that breakfast was a bit lighter and there was no cheese in the quiche. Also, with the invisible GERD on my mind, I was careful to stick with the IF. Off to the gym today and then careful grocery shopping – no bad treats, if they come in my house I Will eat them.

I am impressed you could pull it together and get it done! Sounds stressful. I am claustriphobic so that would stress me out too. 💪

@CamandJarvis
So cute! Love the bluebonnets! They look great when they bloom but get very bedgraggled once it heats up but that's when they burst their seed pods and spread the beauty for next year! Find time to take some of the iconic drives around the hill country - you can google some great routes, stop for barbecue and take lots of pics. We usually end up in Fredericksburg. I hope they are good this year....just now getting some good rain.🌼

@bearly63 funny enough, Fredericksburg is where BF and all my friends live!

Day/Weight/Comment:

02/07: 128.0 Good start. Met my protein goal yesterday. Probably won't weigh in again for a few days, just wanted an accurate starting weight. Today was a rest day but I ended up playing an hour of pickleball. Will do my leg gym workout tomorrow.

02/08: Went over on calories today, went to a party and made good choices but pretty impossible to track.

02/09: Played some pickleball outside, spent the rest of the day working and stayed well under my calorie goal but did not meet my protein macro.

02/10: Tentatively stepped on the scale - still at 128.0, phew. Hoping to stay on track today, I'm getting a cold, have a boat load of work to get through and didn't sleep well. Sort of a recipe for a disaster. Plus, I'm skipping my workout today and have a class tonight, feeling scattered and off kilter. Thinking a nap might help.

02/11: 127.4 lbs. And a NSV, we have an event next weekend and I have to buy a dress because all my dresses are too big. Including the one I bought in November (that I am completely in love with, sort of sad actually). Hit my protein macro yesterday and stayed under calories despite feeling crappy. Had a fantastic work out this morning followed by an hour of pickleball with my left hand, sort of getting the hang of it. Off to work and maybe look at some dresses if I get a minute.

02/12: 127.4 lbs. Great workout this morning followed by 1 hour of pickleball. Hit my protein macro yesterday and am on track to do it again today. Looked at dresses, found one I love but it's pricey. Going to see if I can find it cheaper somewhere. I'm down at least one dress size from November, maybe 2 dress sizes. The 4 and the 6 both fit, the 4 was a little snug in the waist, the 6 was a little loose in the shoulders. Probably go with a 6 and just bring in the shoulders. Way easier than being uncomfortable in the waist. But then, if I lose a little more (which I'm open to), the 4 might be a better choice. Hmmmm. The event is actually in 2 weeks.

It is the most fun! I highly recommend finding a game near you, the people are the most welcoming group.
