dawnbgethealthy

I am Dawn, 60, 5'2"
MFP start weight October 28.18 - 191 pounds

This 10 day challenge began for me in round 95 at 158.4 pounds
I have lost 15 pounds in 330 days (33 rounds)
This will be my 34th round


Day, Weight, Comment
10/04 - 143.5 - I gained 1.1 pounds in the last round. Going to work to undo that.
10/05 - 143.1 - Good to see a modest loss
10/06 - 142.1 - Getting closer to September's numbers. When I came back from 2 weeks of holidays and went back to work (stress) I really gained. Glad that it is starting to even out.
10/07 - 141.5
10/08 - 139.6 - Fun to see that number although it doesn't seem real. We'll see tomorrow.

@CFFT2002 What book are you reading? I read one several years ago on Cognitive Behavior Therapy. It was quite informative. I still have the “flash cards” I made by my chair.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! YOU HAVE REACHED YOUR MINI GOAL!! WELL DONE.

@CFFT2002 Thank you! Now to hang on to it this round

So very happy that this challenge is still going strong! The last time I did this was years ago and it worked so well. I stopped for a variety of reasons but am excited to be back!!

I anticipate some quick weight loss in #s this first week since I am looking to cut out (again) major foods that sincerely do not agree well with my body and leave me swollen and generally feeling unwell.

Goal: 5lbs - not sure if that’s too ambitious, but we will see. I have a lot of deflating to do !!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/04 - 178.5 so swollen today, looking forward to progress.
10/05 - 176.5 - starting the process to find my real current weight, usually takes a day or two to get rid of swelling
10/06 - 173.5 - I technically hit my goal but in all honesty I got food poisoning yesterday.. I expect an increase in a few days lol
10/07 - 175.5 - seems more accurate .. finally ate food last night 👍
10/08 - 172.5 not sure what’s happening .. I’ve cut out those things that don’t agree with me but I think I just need to give this at least a week to understand where my real weight is at!!

10/04 199 getting tired of seeing this number. No TV for 3 year olds this weekend. At school my they were play fighting and she broke his glasses on purpose. I HAVE BEEN SO MAD. So this week I am going to watch my wine consumption and practice mindfulness
10/05 199.1 I love them but I now am beginning to understand the term brain damaged from Sinbad or Bill Cosby Himself. You feel like you keep repeating yourself and repeating yourself and repeating yourself and when you lose your mind and they look at you like your crazy. I feel like a crazy person right now. I took them for a walk yesterday and got a dance in yesterday and did 4 loads of laundry. 15887 steps and 1851 calories.
10/06 197.6 home with a sick daughter. Her asthma tends to act up at this time of year. The school will not do nebulizer anymore. I do like the progress
10/07 198 yesterday 1815 calories 11638 steps two short aerobic workout. My calves are sore this morning. I did some serious stretching this morning and a low impact workout. I might get a walk in this afternoon but nothing too strenuous. Progress is slow but it is happening.
10/08 198.6 going the wrong way. 1706 calories 15019 steps

@mousie1973 NEVER GIVE UP! Give your body 2-3 days to adjust to changes. Keep (detailed) track of what you’re eating and doing, even if it’s a nibble - they add up. We had Greek last night, I ALWAYS get the Greek salad. I knew my weight would be up this morning. I always assumed it was the partial pita (my body hates grain) but a few times back, I skipped the pita and had the gyro meat and gained. The next time I got the steak skewer instead of gyro AND ate some pita - no gain. So, I don’t know what is in the gyro meat but there’s something to which I react! Learn about your body’s reactions.

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.

10/4 112.0 WHOA! I have no idea! Delayed reaction to the 42 hour fast last week? I had hardly eaten today and wasn’t hungry but I ate something and now I’m miserable. I slept about an hour longer than usual which made me run late for breakfast with neighbors, the coffee cake I was making wasn’t done. Oh well! AF
10/5 115.5 LOL I thought that scale was crazy yesterday. Guess I was right! It’s all good! DH also had odd weigh ins. I think the scale was messing with us! AF Gym 351 cal
10/6 115.0 AF
10/7 114.5 Odd day yesterday, I considered fasting but too many leftovers so I made a taco salad and that was my OMAD then I ate some keto apple crisp for dessert and was stuffed! AF
10/8 116.5 Expected increase, Greek salad with gyro and 1/2 pita for dinner yesterday. AF Awake today at 4:27AM! Toooo early!

10/7: 222.4 (-0.4)/29.4 (-0.1). My back has been killing me. I missed the first two days of work this week, but I got to the chiro yesterday, and I hope that will help some. Today I'm just sore. I ate fine yesterday, but overall I have very much been struggling with snacking again. At least my Lakers and Dodgers won last night! For anyone who's concerned, know that I won't be disappearing again, even if I miss a few days here and there.

10/8: 222.4 (0.0)/29.4 (0.0). Still too much snacking. And I had a drink yesterday (to help tolerate the debate). I'm having lunch "out" at work today. I'm going to fast until then, and I'll cut my chicken sandwich (Nashville Hot!) in half. Half for lunch, half for dinner. Hopefully that works out. I'm going to start doing some sort of work out in the evening, even if it's while I'm watching television. There's plenty of stuff I can do; I'm going to try to do some of it. On a sad note, my "days streak" here on MFP reset (I thought I at least logged in for seconds each day to keep it going). Oh well!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/03 …..210.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

10/04 …..210.0 ….. The gift of the pumpkin bread from a friend didn’t help, but I’m working it back down. Luckily it was a mini loaf which I shared. All gone!

10/05 …..211.6….. WTH??? A lot of steps yesterday and food seemed balanced. However, dinner at 11:00 pm (busy day) and no TMI probably contributed. I will stay mindful today!

10/06 …..209.4 ….. Wildly all over the place. Not my scale, just my habits and my TMI. Happy to see such a nice Whoosh today!

10/07 …..209.6….. Fluctuation. Yesterday was a pretty good day!

10/08 …..209.8 ….. I’m still going to call this a fluctuation because I had a very good day yesterday. However, no TMI x 2 days so that is probably it. Overall, I am making better choices. Last night I prep cooked for today’s lunch and leftovers for dinner. A very low cal & low carb dish. It should help. I absolutely cannot keep dipping back up into the 210 and higher. I’ve got to take this gift of 209 point whatever and continue a downward trend. I am very proud of myself right now.

10/04 - 150.4 - Continuing to hold steady from the end of the last round. Feeling great - I chopped my hair off last night and I don’t think I did that bad of a job! Got out for a run this morning and will be meal prepping this afternoon.

10/05 - 151.0 - The only reason I can think of for this gain is water weight - so hopefully I’ve got a whoosh coming in my future! I ran about 2 miles yesterday, then did a 3+ mile family hike (pushing 70+ lbs of kids and stroller), so I know I came in under calories since I didn’t eat differently from usual. I did my regular workout this morning and will track carefully this week.

10/06 - 150.4 - And back down again. Pretty tired this morning- feeling very heavy and low on energy. I took the kids out to a nearby garden this morning and let them run and play - really hoping that means a good nap for the toddler and an easier afternoon.

10/07 - 150.0 - Oooo, so close! I haven’t seen below 150 since my almost 5 year old was born. (Of course, by saying this I’ve guaranteed it will go back up tomorrow, right?) Tweaked something in my back yesterday which made sleep hard, but feeling better this morning.

10/08 - 149.6 - *happy dance* I can do this! I am doing it, and I will keep doing it! Yay!

Day/Weight/Comment

10/04- 189.2 I ate a salty snack last night after a couple of drinks with friends. Obviously here it is on the scale! Back on track today, target calories all week is 1350, no alcohol and keep up my steps. Estimated cals yesterday : 1588.

10/05- 189.4 hiked 5 miles yesterday in the beautiful weather. I saw that my BF% was down a lot on the scale so a lot of water hanging around still. Hoping for better weigh in tomorrow. Estimated cals yesterday: 1282

10/06- 187.2 now that's more like it. Finally the whoosh. Estimated calories yesterday: 1473 little higher than I wanted, I'm trying to adjust my macros a bit to have more protein.

10/07-186.8 great can it stay now? Estimated cals yesterday ended up going over AGAIN, I even preplanned my day but was hit by a migraine in the afternoon and was comfort eating. (~1675, still well below maintenance, but!)

10/08- 187. 8 answer to above question: no. Calories came in at 1706, I'm struggling a bit with staying on target, not sure why. Maybe I was just feeling deprived a little, and giving a bit more wiggle room to make me feel like I can make it a lifetime not just a diet. Already got my steps in for today, 2.45 miles in the beautiful 70 degree sunshine with my dog.

Challenge for this round will be the start of our fortnight's holiday 19th onwards, but goal for this round – to lose a pound. Stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, keep the 10 days binge free again, it makes such a difference!

10/4: 163.8lbs I did not count calories and we ate out for my birthday. Fasted 21 hours. Only 7000 steps, we did a bunch of driving. But not a bad start.

10/5 163.8 lbs over 1600 calories, 7000 steps, had a completely good lazy weekend. It helps to have slow goals, I get less discouraged and at least I am not gaining.

I'm in! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie!

70 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion... ...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.

We used to walk 5 miles a day. Recovered from back surgery then hip surgery!! Got back to walking then I sprained my ankle. UGH! I was down for 6 weeks with the ankle. Getting back to it slowly.

The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

Looking forward:
You are not stuck at home
You are SAFE at home
One word can change your attitude
One cough can change your life

Take care! Stay safe!

October focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:

2020 Focus:

• Stabilise weight around 145
• Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
• Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
• Cut down on eating between meals by keeping busy

Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:

2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Working on it. Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
That's a WIN in my book!
2020
Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
(One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

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!
