Round 130
Please join us! Starting on 10/24 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 130
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.

10/24 167.1 ~ {Steps 20,226} ~ Today was a successful day as far as exercising and my diet. I went to my favorite hairstylist and had a couple fabulous workouts!

Also numerous studies show that dietary fats don’t have the effect they used to assume they did. My cholesterol numbers are better every time they are tested. Also, your body can make cholesterol which is a whole other ballgame. My former boss was on a fat restricted diet AND cholesterol meds but his cholesterol never went below 400+. Just sayin’
Thank you, I'll check that out. I'm on cholesterol meds and I was at one time really high. I'm due a blood test again in December and I'm hoping my figures will be lower for cholesterol and my pre-diabetes score.
Healthy levels in UK are up to 5 for total cholesterol, and 3 for LDL. I measured at 9 which was way too high.2 -

Round 130
Age: 39
Height: 5’ 3”
SW: 163
CW: 146
GW: 140
UGW: 125
GW for this round: 144
Round 126 (1): 156 to 153.2 (-2.8 lbs)
Round 127 (2): 153.2 to 150.4 (-2.8 lbs)
Round 128 (3): 150.4 to 148.0 (-2.4 lbs)
Round 129 (4): 148.0 to 146.0 (-2.0 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- Lose 2 lbs
- Meal prep breakfast for at least 6 days
- Do core strengthening exercises 5x (every other day)
10/24 - 146.0 - Ok, ready for this round. Last night was Movie Night, which had the double whammy of me not getting in my normal evening walk and the temptation of buttered popcorn. I limited myself to a small amount of popcorn (still had butter on it though - not worth eating otherwise!) and we had a great time. Got off to a slow start this morning with a light workout and then a pancake breakfast - I didn’t blow all my calories for the day but I’m going to have to be careful.
10/25 - 144.8 - Eeeee! Where did that come from? Feeling great this morning - going to do a Halloween scavenger hunt with the kids in a local park today, and I did the grocery shopping yesterday so I can meal prep this afternoon.
10/26 - 145.0 - Tiny bump compared to the big drop from yesterday. Made goat cheese, roasted asparagus and spinach egg muffins this morning which hopefully will last me a few days. It meant I had a little less time for Ring Fit, but I still got it in. A morning without working out would feel strange at this point!
10/27 - 145.4 - Not the direction I want the scale to move, but I will not let it get to me! After seeing @antiderivative talk about it on here, I got Just Dance 2020 for the Nintendo Switch last night and had SO MUCH FUN dancing with it this morning. It was a good workout too, and I’m sure it will be an even better one once I learn the moves for my favorite songs.

Looking forward:
You are not stuck at home

😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
October focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:2020 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 128- Stabilise weight under 150
- 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.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.

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.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 130 (round 60 for me ) I'm in for another round – I really need the accountability! As always, thank you @GrandmaJackie such a brilliant champion particularly in these unprecedented & unsettled times, helping keep some stability in our lives, for setting up these challenges.
Female age 62 5' 4” - Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !
Challenge for this round will be to get back into 133s. Stick with good habits; be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, keeping the 10 days binge free makes such a difference!
Spoiler
Keep calm – we're all in this together! Wash hands, be kind & follow all latest Government guidelines for C-19 virus.

10/24 - 72.6
10/25 - 72.6
10/26 - 72.7 - Now you can just stop it. After the week I've had I should be much lower than this. I maintained a nice average deficit of just over 500kcals per day last week, so by rights I should be down 0.5kg, not up by that amount. *Sigh*. I mean I _know_ it's probably hormone related fluctuations. And I know if I stick to the course it'll go away. But it doesn't stop it from being frustrating you know. And it's causing my trend weight to climb. I'm not sure it's going to get to my target unless I stop holding onto that weight pronto! However, I did measure myself yesterday, and in general it looks like my measurement are trending downwards. Bust is very much looking like it's going to get back to my "normal" sizing first as it only has half an inch before it gets there. Waist isn't doing fabulous, but is finally consistently down below my top marker. Hips seem to be staying high, I'm not overly upset about that. My final measurement that I like to take is my left thigh, as I find that it's less prone to fluctuations compared to the others, and yep, it's been a steady downwards slope, so that's a happy one. Overall I'm feeeling slimmer. My clothes are fitting a little better/looser so I'm feeling more optimistic than my scale weight would suggest.
10/27 - 72.7 - Marathon not sprint, marathon not sprint, marathon not sprint. Damn it. Still waiting for that drop. Yesterday I was just over maintenance. Not a fabulous day eating wise. I ended up getting a doughnut mid afternoon because I just did not pack enough for lunch. Not making that mistake today. I have a bigger lunch and so shouldn't feel quite a hungry. Also had cake in the evening as well. In general not the best eating day.
10/28 - 72.1 - YES! Finally! I knew that whoosh would come at some point I'm happy it's finally here. We'll have to wait and see if it stays this low, or if it settles higher (If it jumps back up to where it was again tomorrow I swear I'm going to kill someone). A good day eating yesterday too. Or rather actually it was an odd day eating yesterday. I got to 11:30 without feeling hungry so I didn't have my breakfast (as I normally have lunch around 12) and then I was HUNGRY for the next half an hour, but pushed through. I wasn't going to eat lunch early just because of that, besides, I think it was just my brain remembering that food exists. Anyway, I ended up being a little hungry later in the day so I ate my breakfast then, and then wasn't that hungry for dinner. So I skipped what I was going to have and had a much lighter dinner instead. So ended up around level with my goal which is unusual during the week, but very much a good thing. Here's to today!

Hi, I’d like to join please.
I am seeking to maintain (or drop a small amount) and find that I need the discipline of daily weighing to stay on track. I use Happy Scale to record my weight and will post actual weight in kg and the trend direction.

Aim: lose 1.3lbs (333.9)
Goals: weigh in every day and also post calories for the previous day
10/24: 335.9 (yesterday cals = 1652) - disappointing but sticking with it. Obviously...
10/25: 335.2 (yesterday cals = 1601) - down a bit, which is good, but god it's slow.
10/26: 335.2 (didn't count) - that's good that it's going down. Keep at it!
10/27: 335.2 (yesterday cals = 1302) - I seem to be stuck on this weight, but it's good to hold steady I guess!
10/28: 334.2 (yesterday cals = 1345) - so good to see the scales come down, yay!

10/24 180.4 Pretty proud of myself for yesterday’s self-control. I took my grand baby to a little mountain town fairly close to us yesterday after work for a walk on the greenway. While the greenway is wonderful, as most little mountain towns are this one is full of fudge, candy, and ice cream. I had none! Then when trying to find a place to eat, I left one place because there was literally nothing but junk food (fried stuff or high calorie options) on the menu and went to a place where I could get a better choice. (It was just along our walk, so no one noticed.) This is the kind of self-control it takes for me to be successful, and my body really wanted the ice cream or rich dessert. I just have to say no to this stuff right now. And I did!
10/25 179.2 Yes! Into a new decade in the right direction for a change!
10/26 180.6 It’s OK. It had been straight down for a week, so it was time for a blip up. Weight loss isn’t linear, and I know that. I pulled a meal out of the freezer for early dinner last night before a Halloween event. It was not one that I had carefully calorie/content controlled, so that is probably to blame, too. I was careful with portion control and did really well not being overwhelmed by the Halloween candy all around at the event. I also walked a ton because the event was “Boo at the Zoo,” so I pushed a baby stroller all over the place at the zoo.
10/27 180.2 Good day yesterday. Stayed within calories and got in a walk. Headed back down, so that’s good.
10/28 179.6 Hoping to stay in this decade for a bit now. I was afraid our meal out last night might interfere with getting back down into the 170s, but I walked stairs (lots of them) at work yesterday and got in two walks, then i figured out how to make my favorite meal at this restaurant fit into the day and asked them to leave off the creamy sauce. It was still yummy. Hubby likes to go here a lot, especially while the weather is still nice--they have such a nice outdoor space. I'm glad I found a solution that doesn't undo my hard work. Gotta keep at it though in hopes of not going back up to that other number.
