🦃 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!

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 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!

11/03 133 – 11.33 miles walked yesterday, 175 calories over.
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.

Day/Weight/Cal Out/Comment
11/03 - 71.9 - 2055 - Ended up only 75 steps off my daily target yesterday and I'm often a long way off, so it looks like my strategies to increase my NEAT worked yesterday. I needed to buy new walking boots yesterday so went for a wander around town at lunch, and took a quick walk around the block mid afternoon. Hopefully I'm able to keep that up today. Weight is down which is pleasing, but I'm not focusing on it too much as I'm working on activity this round. Decent start to the round, average is only just down from yesterday, but mondays are often more active than the rest of the week so it was slightly higher than I had expected. Today's will be the first real challenge as I'm working from home today, and activity is always low on those days, if I can up it today, that'll really make a big difference in my averages.

11/04 - 71.9 - 1893 - WFH Day. I'm not going to be able to use that excuse for very much longer, we're about to switch to full time home working as England goes into another lockdown, so if I want to increase my calories out, I'm going to have to make some substantial changes to my WFH days. Interestingly my step count was actually not that bad, so I think that yesterday's steps were probably more pondery steps compared to the more active steps I take when I'm in the office. Eating wasn't great as OH was cooking, but remained under maintenance. I need to do a food shop tonight as we're rapidly running out of easy to cook, healthy meals in the house. And the weather has taken a turn for the cold, so now I'm suddenly craving warming comfort foods. Salads are out, soups are in! And I do love a good hearty soup.

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

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.

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.)

Goal weight for this round: Maintaining around 113 or dropping to 112 would be nice.
Another goal: Embrace the scale fluctuations and not get flustered.
Previous days

11/03 Food was pretty on point yesterday. For dinner I made roasted veggies (golden and red beets, hakurei turnips, fennel, eggplant, and a red potato), sirloin steak, and whole wheat cous cous with scallions. I also made a garlic ginger cashew sauce to top everything with. The sauce was yummy and helped add some pizazz. The sauce had ginger, garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, raw cashews, lemon juice, and olive oil. My husband was a happy camper having something new for dinner too 😊.
For breakfast today, I’m going to make baked pumpkin oatmeal using the pumpkin puree from Sunday. I’m so looking forward to it! Then, dinner will be a veggie stir fry with brown rice and left over steak from last night.

11/04 113 Happy with the number on the scale. Instead of a stir fry last night, I made a massive salad with bok choi, grated carrots, scallions, 8 oz of sirloin steak, and used the garlic/ginger cashew sauce as a salad dressing. The sauce was so good as a dressing and I think it’s going to be my dressing for my salad tonight with dinner. It will go perfectly on my napa cabbage salad I plan on making. I have lots of greens to use up before Friday’s CSA pick up including collards, beet greens, and swiss chard.

Does anyone a favorite healthy recipe for those greens?

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

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.

Goal weight for this round: Maintaining around 113 or dropping to 112 would be nice.
Another goal: Embrace the scale fluctuations and not get flustered.

11/03 Food was pretty on point yesterday. For dinner I made roasted veggies (golden and red beets, hakurei turnips, fennel, eggplant, and a red potato), sirloin steak, and whole wheat cous cous with scallions. I also made a garlic ginger cashew sauce to top everything with. The sauce was yummy and helped add some pizazz. The sauce had ginger, garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, raw cashews, lemon juice, and olive oil. My husband was a happy camper having something new for dinner too 😊.
For breakfast today, I’m going to make baked pumpkin oatmeal using the pumpkin puree from Sunday. I’m so looking forward to it! Then, dinner will be a veggie stir fry with brown rice and left over steak from last night.

11/04 113 Happy with the number on the scale. Instead of a stir fry last night, I made a massive salad with bok choi, grated carrots, scallions, 8 oz of sirloin steak, and used the garlic/ginger cashew sauce as a salad dressing.

I would love your dressing recipe. Sounds wonderful. As for greens, I could use some recipes for them as well.

My goal for 2020 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
Plans:
🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
🔹Drink more water (target min 80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)

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.

11/03 140.6 had a weird dinner. Need to be more intentional and plan what I want to eat earlier in the day when I'm not hungry and tired.

Day/Weight/Calories Previous Day/Walking/Comment

11/3 - 182.8 - 1521
Calories still higher than my goal, but lowest of the past two weeks, so a good start. No snacks last night, but I did have a modest serving of pumpkin crunch cake, hence the calories. But all good!

11/4 - 182.8 - 1524
Still didn’t get my calories to my goal, but below maintenance and so far I’ve avoided stress-eating my way through the election, so good. I went for a lovely walk at one of my favorite parks. We have a string of sunny 60s days in the forecast so I’ll be sticking to the walking routine.

11/03 - 152.1
11/04 - 151.2 - I don't feel overly bloated AND I dropped? My body is really all over the place lately. I'll take it, though, since that makes more sense to me. I didn't get to fast much as BF made breakfast (he was really excited and wanted me to try this new combination he thought of - it was AMAZING). Today I definitely want to fast a bit longer. Dinner ended earlier than it has been the last several days, back to where it was previously, so that helps with longer fasts in the morning. I was shy about 6oz of hitting water goal, but much much better than before. I'm already ahead of the curve this morning with water so today should go well. I have a salad and some fresh fruit for lunch so I'm set to break my fast with the good stuff. Not sure what dinner is yet. Hopefully it has a side of vegetables, though. Been trying to focus on healthier options. I bought some Meal Simple options from HEB. Had General Tso's with veggies on Monday (craving Chinese food while shopping) and yesterday I had teriyaki salmon with stir fry veggies. Last week I had a baked potato from it. It is a little more expensive, but I figured I'd try it. I was craving a baked potato and my fast was over while I was still shopping - boom, I happened to see a baked potato in that section!. Worked out really well and it was quite yummy. Plus, it inspired me to start thinking of lunches I can make for myself at home/prep for when I begin commuting (if that ever happens). Some require an oven (like my salmon - its uncooked), and some are cooked and ready to reheat in the microwave. Its definitely way better than a frozen meal when in a pinch! I think I really needed those to kickstart me back into focusing on healthier options during my eating window.

Previous Day's Comments

11/03 - Dinner wasn't great. I felt so bloated and heavy and just ick in general within minutes of eating. I didn't have a lot, but it felt like I gorged myself out of nowhere. 1 cup of stew is it. Not sure what that was about. Water was short, but not by too awful much. Better than it has been. Chilly out this morning so definitely thinking yoga if I manage a workout. 16hrs fastest yesterday. Might try for 17 today, depends on how my poor tummy feels.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

Round 131
Month/Day: Weight / Comment

11/03: 211.0 / Clearly, I can maintain the proximity of 210. (If you see my recent history in the spoiler.) And, I do like my bod better now than I did at 240. But, I am trying to see if I can muster the discipline to get to that 205 plateau.

11/02 …..208.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/03 …..207.6 ….. TMI helped. Just sayin’…… Good luck everyone on this round!

11/04 …..????? ….. I can’t believe I forgot to weigh in today before the half pot of coffee I have already drank! Will have to wait until tomorrow. Yesterday was an excellent day for meals and movement. The snacks were a bit much but, otherwise, all well-chosen meals. I hope to get in a lot more movement today. I had to cancel my far-away oncology and mammogram appointments due to insurance issues. Rescheduled for spring to avoid bad weather driving, 4 hours each way.

@MultoMundoMonkey LOL at “While exercising alot more over last 2 yrs and enjoying it (clearly the sign of a sick mind) . . .”

Yes, we definitely have some sick minds when we get addicted to exercise! I couldn’t believe it when it happened the first time but with lockdown and restrictions, I’m not quite back there. Working on it but it’s so much easier to sit and read!

After being signed in automatically for months, right in the middle of trying to catch up, I can’t like or comment because I have to log in. Now my password doesn’t work so, I’ll have to reset it. I HATE technology. I had to log in 2 more times to get to this point!

OMG I can edit again!
