JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 131 (round 61 for me ) I'm in for another round – I still really need the accountability & stability! As always, thank you @GrandmaJackie such a brilliant champion particularly in these unprecedented & unsettled times, 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 132s. 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!

11/04 132 – wow wasn't expecting that whoosh, but I'll take it!! I know from experience it'll most likely be up again tomorrow, but try to have as perfect a day as possible to prevent as much of a rise as possible. 10.89 miles walked yesterday, 743 calories in credit. Was aiming to lose a pound by next Tuesday, but now it's gone this morning new aim is to retain it !! Driving up to see DD & DS and respective families today before lockdown starts tomorrow which means 3.5+ hours sitting in the car today.



11/05 Lock down in England starts again for 4 weeks 132.8 – there it goes the upwards, expected, but got to work at it! Only 4.69 miles walked yesterday, hence 59 calories over.
11/06 132.8 - 10.3 miles walked yesterday. 675 calories in credit.
11/07 132.8 – 9.93 miles walked yesterday, 455 calories in credit. Half way round already!

🦃 NOVEMBER 🦃
🦃🐿🦃🐿🦃🐿🦃

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!😷

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

2020 Focus:

• 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.

• 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!

Having a quiet day away from the family. It is nice to be able to pick what I want to eat and when. It makes it much easier for me to pick choices that work for me. Hopefully I am over the mid cycle volatility of last round.

Next overall goal is to get under 140. I would like to get that done before Thanksgiving and hold through Thanksgiving. For this round, I am going to focus on getting to 141.

Going to continue with daily tracking, staying under goal calories, and minimum of 20 min formal exercise/day (all from UAC challenge). I am also trying to do 90 minutes of planks, and 24 hours of formal exercise this November (24 hour and 60 minute plank challenges).

Previous goals: get under 150; get under 145 for my birthday; get to pre-COVID 142.4

Round 131 – starting weight 142.2

11/3 – 141.6 Nice start to the round. I am starting also to make note of my net calories to begin the process of learning what calories accomplish what. Yesterday was net of 1022. I have read a woman should not be regularly under 1200. I was hungry later in the evening yesterday, but rode it out. The previous day, leading into the challenge, my net was 1227 and no hunger issues.

11/4 – 141.0 Wow! Not expected. I guess my reward for not engaging in my normal stress eating patterns. The french’s onions, that I purchased way too soon, were calling me all evening. Did not open and am considering asking my husband to hid them from me until I am cooking for the 5 of us for Thanksgiving.

11/5 – 140.8 I really was expecting some take back. I’m sure its coming. But last night, I tried something new. I headed out after dark and walked/jogged for the equivalent of a 5K. Took just over 40 minutes, but I now know a route that would achieve this and I can measure improvement against it over time. Maybe someday I will enter a 5K.

11/6 – 140.8 Pleasantly surprised there was no take back.

11/7 – 140.4 (not my regular scale – weekend in Maine) no idea if the two scales weigh differently (same make/model, etc) and if I am actually down. At least glad to not see an up, but Monday morning the 9th will give me a true indication. Have been consistently staying under my 1430 base and not eating back any exercise, and tracking everything.

@SModa61 You should enter a 5K! I did my first at about your age and weight. There was the option to walk or run. I’m not a runner and it took me about an hour. I did a few more over the years and just aimed to get a slightly better time each time. You can do it!

@quiltingjaine I was looking into them last night. Right now they are all virtual, which is a little different, but also, maybe not so bad. thanks for the encouragement

Wonder if we could do a virtual 5K from this group? Maybe we pick a week and those who want to, walk or run (I'd be walking it) wherever they wish, but we "train" for it together. Then anytime within a week (or maybe a 10 days) we pick a day to do our 5K when the weather is decent wherever we live, and we celebrate together. I need to be training for something, that's for sure.

11/03 182 I am disappointed in myself for letting Halloween ruin my progress last round, but that’s part of the learning curve, I guess. @musicax, I like your advice to @SheilaBoneham. I will try to use that as motivation too. You’re right about the food addiction. We got ALL the Halloween candy out of the house for that very reason. I thought of it last night and I’m sure I would have given in, but it was gone, so that was a good thing! I really want to get back into the 170s far enough to where I don’t bounce back up. I can do that by Christmas, can’t I? Maybe I can get further, but I’ll take that.

11/06 182.8 Went off the wagon at a watch party on election night. Back on yesterday, but there’s still some residual to chip away at. I thought I was going to see my folks in NC tomorrow. Haven’t seen them but once since the pandemic began, but they told me Wednesday they are afraid for me to come. I bet it won’t happen for the holidays either. So, yeah, I’m a little sad. Need to find something active to do tomorrow instead.
11/07 183.6 I swear, I am so disappointed in myself. I did really well yesterday. Wasn’t hungry, ate healthy, until right before dinner. Someone opened a bag of Fritos and I ate way too many of them. I’m hoping this is water from the salt, but still. But today, I’m going to the mountains to carry my granddaughter in a backpack on a hike. I am excited about that!

Realized with all the stress and activity of supporting my mom through my stepfather in ICU then moving to Hospice and passing away last night that I've not been present in MVP. I've been feeding everyone including his family from out of town I've not met before. Because I was in control of the menu (not all the desserts dropped off LOL) at least I know we were eating right and not junk.
I have been eating healthy, not diving into the desserts, walking 3 miles per day, limiting my wine to 2 glasses, not losing all control and complete focus but I did not track all my food Thurs & Fri. I'll take time to catch up and get my notes in order sometime today as I sit to reflect on my personal health goals ... take time for me in all this confusion.

All my adult children are headed in to stay at our small camp. Others will be here too. Memorial tomorrow. So me cooking will continue ... glad though that I'm in charge of the food for all those that are trying to lose weight and not gain through this situation.

Oh ... I walked over to my mom's and stepped her scale with clothes on (no shoes). 216.1

Catch up with my regular logging when I can! Thanks for listening and all the support and hugs!

2. Start strength training
3. Log daily food/water intake
4. Eat at deficit

Day/Weight/Comment
11/03: 189.8 / Working to buck a trend in the wrong direction due to the Halloween candy’s inability to outrun my sweet tooth.
11/04: 188.9 / Biked 48 miles. Ate decently—for a change. Logged all food/water.
11/05: 188 / Recovery day. Healthy meals. Getting back into a routine of smoothie—salad—healthy dinner. Ate a bit over deficit goal, but my ceiling is 500 below my BMR.
11/06: 188.8 / 27.5 miles added on the bike (75.5/250). Logged all my food and water. Ate below adjusted calorie goals, but a delicious patty melt I made for dinner is going to sit a bit heavy on me for a day or two…
11/07: 187.7 / 15 more miles on the bike yesterday (90.5 /250); making progress there. Logged everything with a deficit—though it could be cleaner, so I need to watch snacking. Still haven’t been able to work out in the gym with the limited hours it’s open.

Round 131: DAY FIVE

Overall starting weight: 349.2
Round 131 starting weight: 333.2
Aim for Round 131: lose 1.3lbs (331.9)

Goals: weigh in every day and give a sentence update on how I'm doing
11/03: 333.2. Yesterday was a good day, although I panicked about my calories being 100 higher than most Mondays because I had a lasagne; I definitely catastrophise weight loss. Good to hold on to the loss so far.
11/04: 332.2. Down a pound, which is great, although it can easily bounce back up again tomorrow, but it's great to see the scales coming down. Makes me feel like I can do this.
11/05: 332.2 Holding on to the pound weight loss, which is great - that's 17lbs total so far. It's very slow given my age and MS, but the scales are coming down.
11/06: 332.2. Holding on to the pound loss, pleased about that! But goodness me it's hard going.
11/07: 332.2 I know this is crazy, but I get so frustrated when I have the same weight day after day, when I am trying so hard. Got to look at the bigger picture and remember that it's 17lbs down and I am feeling and looking better, and keep at it!!

Just Give Me 10 Days is the first “challenge” that has helped me gain some freedom over the scale. Most days my weight doesn’t shape my mood- so far. And so I am deeply grateful for this and for you all.

My main goal is not to be elated or devastated by the scale. It has been a very long, emotionally painful journey with my weight, all of my life. I want so badly to escape my food addiction. I never want to be 338lbs. again but I know it could very well happen. I don’t want to be 115lbs. again because at that weight I was losing my hair and I was sick all of the time and exercising four hours a day, eating less than 800 calories. I just want moderation!

This daily weigh-in has been a good discipline. Hard to get too excited or upset over the scale when one sees how much fluctuation happens regardless of my caloric intake and exercise.

I limit myself to a manageable 3.5 mile run each day, a 20 min morning workout and a 10 minute bedtime workout. And I eat 1,200 6 days a week and 3,600 one day a week. (My high-protein day). No added sugar. No meat.

STARTING WEIGHT: 338lbs on January 1, 2014
ROUND 131 STARTING WEIGHT ON 11/3: 137.5lbs.
ROUND GOAL WEIGHT: 137.5-136.5lbs.

Round 130: 134-137.5 (+3.5)




Day/Weight/Comment
11/3: 137.5lbs. (So it seems like I am not successful on this plan, but I don’t see it that way for the first time in my life. In the last 30 days I have lost .5lbs. That is good! That is just fine! The main thing is that I am not bingeing or restricting or purging or over exercising. All things I used to do. I have eaten right. I have run 3.5 miles a day, I have done my exercises every morning and night. I have not eaten added sugars. And I have not let the scale determine my mood except for one day! And the bonus is I weigh .5 less than I did last month! I was 338lbs. in November of 2013. I was 158lbs. on this day in November last year. I am headed in the right direction.)
11/4: 136lbs. (Here I am.)
11/5: 138.5lbs. (Last night I made a conscious and controlled choice to eat in excess of my calories for the day. No added sugars, high protein “good” whole food, but still over my caloric allotment for the day. It was not for a good reason. While I was hungry, yes but I always am- 1,200 a day doesn’t feel like a lot when I average 18,000 steps a day with 65 minutes of cardio daily. But I ate because I am so scared about the election. I knew that banana and the pint of blueberries wouldn’t change the results or make revealed any faster but I gave in and said “I need this.” So my goal today is to not restrict, which would be my pattern. Normally I would eat about 300 calories or less today. And best myself up. But my goal is not to do that today. Accept whatever gain I have this round and move forward.)
11:6: 137.5 (I didn’t restrict! Ate 1,175 calories and exercised and ran and didn’t let the scale get me down OR up!)
11/7: 135lbs. (Still here!)

Hi, I’d like to join round 131 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.

Round 130 (1st for me) SW 57.2. EW 56.5. Loss = 0.7 kg

Round 132 SW 56.5kg. GW 56 kg

Tue 3 56.6 Trend ↔️ Not the best start but yesterday’s lunch was good!
Wed 4 56.7 Trend ↔️ Going in the wrong direction 👿
Thu 5 56.6 Trend ↔️ Scale was undecided between 56.6 and 56.7. I think I worked hard enough for 56.6 or lower!
Fri 6 56.1 Trend ⬇️ It looks as if the scale woke up but I’m not sure I trust it!
Sat 7 56.5 trend ↔️ Ohh well, I’m not really surprised

@SModa61 You should enter a 5K! I did my first at about your age and weight. There was the option to walk or run. I’m not a runner and it took me about an hour. I did a few more over the years and just aimed to get a slightly better time each time. You can do it!

@quiltingjaine I was looking into them last night. Right now they are all virtual, which is a little different, but also, maybe not so bad. thanks for the encouragement

Wonder if we could do a virtual 5K from this group? Maybe we pick a week and those who want to, walk or run (I'd be walking it) wherever they wish, but we "train" for it together. Then anytime within a week (or maybe a 10 days) we pick a day to do our 5K when the weather is decent wherever we live, and we celebrate together. I need to be training for something, that's for sure.

@UTmom81 What a great idea! As I mentioned, I was looking into "official" 5K races and they were all visual. But classic ones that were coming were "turkey trot" (was walk/run any time x days before), Night event wearing glow sticks - I think that was associated with new years eve. Ideas on how to organize the 5k? and even more, how to "train together"?

I lost 16lbs with you all April-October 2020 and I want to keep it off!
Maintenance goal: 135-140 lbs

This round, I need to practice maintaining by: ✅eating really whole, fresh foods and
✅getting some activity every day.
My challenges are:
◾the time change (work hours shift to an hour earlier for the winter) and
◾managing cravings and goals throughout TOM

I think it would also feel less strict if I lost another pound or two and hovered closer to the middle of my range instead of popping over it so many days. Last round was over range 8 days, within range 2 days.

11/07 183.6 I swear, I am so disappointed in myself. I did really well yesterday. Wasn’t hungry, ate healthy, until right before dinner. Someone opened a bag of Fritos and I ate way too many of them. I’m hoping this is water from the salt, but still. But today, I’m going to the mountains to carry my granddaughter in a backpack on a hike. I am excited about that!

I can totally relate to the frito situation which is why I just cannot have anything. Over the summer I discovered a limited edition Ben and Jerries "Chip Happen's" which is chocolate ice cream with chunks of fudge and ribbons of salty crushed potato chips. How can you turn down ice cream and potato chips at the time time! I ate my way through the whole edition. Anyhow, certain things just cannot come in my house. My other issue is once "over calorie (or WW points) goal, 1 calorie over is the same as 1000. It's a bad mindset that still needs fixing.

11/07. 213.6 Tonight is my cheat meal. I’m having problems not feeling guilty over it but ever since I started one cheat meal per week I have never gone over calories any other day. The most I hit with a cheat meal is 250 over maintenance and that feels so high. But it’s good for my body and mind to eat at or slightly above so Ill get over the guilt.
