11/24 - 158 - I'm sad I've gained 5 since last month, but this is around the weight I've been for most of this year, give or take, so I'm not fretting it too much. I plan of starting my home workouts again tonight.

Goal for round 133 will be little different from the proceeding because it has some more challenging days in it; Thanksgiving, day after leftovers, 2 travel days. We are traveling but not “for” Thanksgiving. We need to check on a costly property repair and trying to squeeze the travel between two holiday quarantines. In the process, I have pre-tracked until Thanksgiving (current quarantine), and then pre-tracked and purchased all non-perishables for 4 days to start return quarantine, during which I’ll arrange for grocery delivery and post travel COVID testing on day 4 or 5. Then I’ll have two days to shop outside the house before quarantining again so I can see my grandson a little for his first Xmas. That’s the plan but we know is 2020, anything can change. So anyhow….. goal is to complete round 133 with no gain (ie staying at 137.2, or below).
On another note, I am entering an official virtual 5K, the Feaster Five. So I have to walk/run, document and then submit my time sometime this week. I am currently eyeing Tuesday evening.
Previous goals: get under 150; get under 145 for my birthday (10/26); get to pre-COVID weight 142.4, get under 140 before thanksgiving, get to 137.6 (weight on 10/2/19).

Round 133 – starting weight 137.2
11/23 – 137.2 Seems like the number is real (ie 3 out of 4 days in a row). Today is an indoor exercise day since, out my window, it looks like Noah should be building another ark. At least the cats are not demanding their walk.
11/24 – 136.8 Knee and elbows are acting up. I am wondering if my zealous approach towards the 5K and planking is faster than those joints can handle. Plan is/was to walk/jog the Feaster Five virtual 5K this evening. We’ll see how the knees are feeling. I do have other days to accomplish this, but am really hoping that it works out today.

50 days ago, I was 2.5lbs heavier than I am now. 49 days ago I was 6.5lbs heavier! The body is a funny thing! I gained 4.5lbs. over night? Running and working out yesterday, just like every day? Weighing each blueberry and apple and grape tomato. (Not each grapes because they are WAAAY too many calories!) No, I know that is not a "true weight." I am obsessive and I admit I have disordered eating issues. BUT I am getting better for now.
This round MIGHT be my last...because it has helped me so much. However, I want to try to move away from weighing-in every day. These rounds have helped me not to be so dependent on the scale to define myself. I am going to TRY to get weighed every 5 days, so I would have to say good bye to Just Give Me 10 Days.
But I may very well be back! I hope to reach my ultimate weight goal of 122-125lbs. by the end of October of 2021. Slow and steady. And I hope to stay there and not get sick again, like last time...moving my goal to 120, then 118, then 115, then lower and lower until I was eating 800 calories a day and exercising for three hours a day, losing my hair, etc.
It has been a long, hard road, but I am grateful and still the luckiest girl in the world, as I realize that my problems are the problems of the privileged.

ROUND 133 STARTING WEIGHT ON 11/23: 139lbs.

Round 132: 134-136.5 (+2.5)
11/23: 139lbs. (I know what this weight gain is. I know it is hormonal or water or whatever! Because it happens EVERY MONTH! And I have been running consistently and counting every grape tomato and weighing every banana! And it takes an excess of 3,500 calories to gain a pound. There is no way I could have legit gained 7lbs. in two days with my energy expenditure and my caloric intake! And I am okay! By Friday or Saturday I will be at 136 or 135! And even if I am not, as long as I am still counting calories and exercising and not bingeing I am okay!)
11/24: 138lbs. (Still on plan!)

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)
🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

11/23 215.3 Walked 3 miles, 1279 cal, 35 net carbs, AF. Wow! Brunch with the kids to celebrate DH’s birthday … poached eggs on crab cakes with hot sauce hollandaise and skillet hash browns.
11/24 214.1 Walked 5 miles, 1684 cal, 55 net carbs, AF. I know what to do to lose weight I just need to execute and repeat! One slice of pizza with salad instead of 3 slices and no salad. Did splurge on a little yummy homemade mac&cheese with steak and roasted broccoli.6 -

11/24 - 151.7 - No movement is better than a gain! TOM arrived. Again. Had a visit 2 weeks ago and wasn't supposed to have another visit for 1.5 more weeks. Pretty sure it was my medication - did you know some cold meds and antibiotics can actually cause birth control to lose effectiveness? I'm on the pill due to hormone imbalances - it would make sense if my cold meds caused it to not properly balance my hormones and my body went a little haywire. Would also explain the bloating and weight bouncing. Its not harmful, its the natural state of my body. I just prefer to have a regular schedule and avoid all side effects of imbalances. Hopefully, since I stopped taking my cold meds Friday, it'll be out of my system and I can go back to normal. Fasted just shy of 16hrs yesterday and just barely under my water goal. Today is a little bit busier work day so I'll be glued to my computer and therefore my water bottle at my desk. Hopefully I can also fast a little longer but time will tell if BF makes breakfast for just him or for us both. I have a sinking feeling he'll make biscuits and gravy for us both and that's my weakness. I'll at least be close, if not at, 16hrs by the time that happens which is good. Could be worse!

Previous Day's Comments11/23 - Bump as I expected the way my body has been acting lately. Had seafood last night as an annual birthday dinner for Gramps (the dinner is his gift so we made it socially distanced). Didn't eat much but was quite full after. Then had a small slice of homemade gluen/dairy free German Chocolate Cake to finish off the night because I can't turn down coconut! Not sure, but guessing, that is what's caused the bump up. That, and I'm sore from 2 hours of leaf blowing with a handheld blower. The boys had their backpacks (BF finally got to use his birthday gift I got him!) Woke up this morning and for some reason, I thought it was Tuesday or Wednesday. Weekend wasn't the most restful so I can understand my groggy confusion haha Made it 1 minute shy of 16hrs fasting yesterday, did leaf blowing in my fasted state which actually dulled my hunger for quite a bit. Today, if BF doesn't make me breakfast, I'll aim for another 16hrs. I may need to start pushing my fasts a little longer to see more benefit of it. And FamWife and I discussed trying to incorporate healthier foods in our meals. Hopefully between the two of us, we can!

I've been reorganizing the hallway storage today and had to pull out bags of my old clothes that gradually multiplied over the years as the weight crept up on me. It's a bit shocking to think of how long I've been repeating the pattern of just buying bigger clothes rather than changing my eating habits.

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 133
Please join us! Starting on 11/03 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 133
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.
Goals

Okay, back on track today after a little food tantrum yesterday over not losing in R132 despite fewer calories & more exercise. 😁 Hitting the good protein, veggies, fats now through Wed., enjoying TG, then back on track. It’s cold today and there’s still snow on the ground from yesterday, but I’ll get out this afternoon for a couple of miles. I’m thinking of making a pot of minestrone. Mmmmmmm. Comfort soup!
11/24 - 183 - 1311 - 5.5 miles
Aww, come on. Very discouraging. My average calories have been below maintenance for two weeks, macros P20, F40, C40 (mostly veggies, legumes, & whole grains), exercise increased, and I’m not snacking like I was. I even reset my scale in case it was stuck in some sort of loop. I don’t believe in very restrictive, unsustainable diets but I’m thinking of going back to the elimination diet I was prescribed for inflammation a couple years ago. It melted 20 pounds off in no time (but I gained it back plus more in the next 18 months). No walk today — sleet and wind — but I’ll try to do something. Maybe clean the house? Nah!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/22 …..208.1….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/23 …..207.2…..Traveling today for a new hot water heater. The one in the house only lasts about 2 minutes. Very deceiving because it actually looks brand new, even all the stickers on it. Looked up the model and serial number and it’s 31 years old! Wow, they really dusted and kept everything looking good but….. Well anyway, probably some fast food out which is always a treat since we always have little to nothing in this small town for restaurants, even pre-covid. I will try to be mindful.
11/24 …..207.2 ….. Grateful for no gain after an all day travel until after dark. Made the best choices I could. I think the lack of my usual travel gain was because of hard work when I got home. Still unpacking 22 years of home and business. Nothing here has been ready to accept my stuff. All the shelves need re-lining in the kitchens and 3 bathrooms. Tons of workers and friends in each day to help with all the mechanicals. Today I hope the new hot water heater will go in. Also the new wireless router for upstairs. Can I hope that 4 deadbolt/door locks will be done and old locks added to chosen interior doors? A busy day planned. I also hope to catch up on all the posts from the last round when my internet was not working. Thanks to everyone for all the well wishes.

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.

11/23 117.0 New restrictions start just after midnight tonight. Welcome to California Junior. The governor has effectively cancelled Thanksgiving gatherings for all. I had previously cancelled (last week) the one we were planning and my menu keeps shrinking!

Hi, I’m Karen, in my 50’s
OSW Sept.2018 187
I have been so busy, and had allergies, thinking I was getting sick....but just allergies, so I have not been exercising.
I am very glad to be here with all of your familiar, darling faces!
11/24-1664 -
have just not been focused enough over the last month. Weight up and down and no net loss. I'm now going to focus on the average weight for the round as that was very telling at the end of last round.
OSW 88KG
RSW 62.45 kg
Average last round 62.62 kg
Target this round is to lower the average weight.
11/23 62.9kg although a gain is the lowest Monday for a while. Sunday is no track salty food day so I'm happy with this today. Gym done. I'm increasing the cardio over the week to shift some kgs.
11/24 62.9kg time to get that average down. No aerobics tonight so I'm going to swim instead... It's 35C here {95F} so I'm looking forward to it.

11/23: 125.2- Well last round seems to have been a nonstarter and I am sure Thanksgiving and having both my kids home will make this round challenging, Good Luck to you all!
11/24: 126- So frustrating! honestly thought scale would be going other way
. Went to body pump and played over 2 hours of Pickleball- challenging and competitive games too. Was kind of hoping to have some deficit banked for a decadent Thursday.

It's a bit shocking to think of how long I've been repeating the pattern of just buying bigger clothes rather than changing my eating habits.
I'm still shopping in my closet as well while I lose this weight once again! I'm trying to find insight into losing and keeping the weight off too. I've been down to 200 lbs at least 3x in 10 years and up to 245 as well. My doctor advised getting below 200 as my goal and keeping it off.
So I talked to a friend ... since I know she has kept it off. Her advice. If the clothes start getting tight then get it back off right then ... don't buy the next size up and ignore the clothes that you are wearing. Hmmmm pretty good advice. I asked another friend. She has a belt that she wears with a pair of pants ... if it moves a notch then she tackles it right then and there. Another friend that kept her weight off for over 10 years ... she steps on the scale daily and has a range that is acceptable but nothing over 5 lbs.
We are in this together! Planning to toss the clothes as they get too big this round and not have that niggling doubt in the back of my mind that if I gain I'll want these "good" clothes again.
Oh and DH told me last month ... when I get below 200 or even before ... start buying new clothes and quit wearing all the baggy stuff. Or the old stuff that I saved that I really don't like or is now out of style that I find in my closet from the 90s. He is being supportive and said it is worth not waiting until I get to my ultimate goal.
Good luck with your closet cleaning!7 -

Round 132 End Weight: 174.2
Round 133 Goals: Track & Make Healthy Food Choices, Minimize Alcohol, Continue Running Plan + Add in Strength Training, Lose 1.5 pounds, DO NOT GET DERAILED by Thanksgiving
Day/Weight/Comment
11/23: 174.2 Yesterday was a rest day from exercise, but was very busy anyway and got a lot of steps organizing the house all day. Today is supposed to be a running day but it is pouring raining outside, but hopefully it will let up enough to get my run in. I'm also going to go ahead and pre-log my Thanksgiving meal for Thursday to get a good idea of what my calories need to be be the rest of the week to even out the damage
11/24 175.6 Drank wine last night that led to late night snacking, so this is expected. On the positive side did get a run in yesterday and have my last pre-turkey trot run this afternoon. Back on track today with food choices and being AF again. (My AF plan is to reduce the amount of days a month I have any alcohol not cut it out all together).

GW: 125
GW for this round: 138
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)
Round 130 (5): 146.0 to 144.4 (-1.6 lbs)
Round 131 (6): 144.4 to 139.6 (-4.8 lbs)
Round 132 (7): 139.6 to 138.8 (-0.8 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- Maintain weight at 138-139.
- Run/walk my evening walk with the dog to work up to a 5K by Thanksgiving
I didn’t have the round I wanted to last round - TOM plus daughter’s birthday party (and birthday cake...) resulted in a much smaller loss than I hoped. We’ll see where I end up the first few days of this round on the scale. I’m really looking forward to Thanksgiving though - and plan to be reasonable but still indulge and celebrate! If I have gained a pound or two after this first week, I’ll refocus and work to get a downward trend again heading into December.
11/23 - 139.4 - Not the start I wanted, but I’m feeling really bloated today so that might be part of it. I’m also really annoyed that after updating my phone last night, it appears to no longer be receiving workout and step information from my Apple Watch. I hope I can figure it out soon - in the meantime I can enter the workouts manually and change MyFitnessPal to get my steps from Pacer rather than Apple Fitness. Still frustrating though!
11/24 - 138.8 - I switched HappyScale to maintenance mode this morning. It was really bothering me to see the trend line numbers getting smaller and the next goal weight staring at me every time I opened it. Focusing on maintenance for awhile is going to involve a mental shift - but since I haven’t changed my calories or exercise habits, having the scale stall is... frustrating.

Woot! Just submitted my time for my inaugural 5K, the Feaster Five. I ran/walked it in 00:34:54. That is the most running I have done since I ran and threw discus on the BOYS tracks team in 1977. Yes, there was no such thing as a "girls" track team back then.
The downside was that when I got home I discovered that I lost one of my good gloves and had to reverse the route looking for it. Fortunately, hubby grabbed the car and picked me up along the way. I did find my glove!! 15 -
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!😷
November focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:2020 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 133- 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.
