Just Give Me 10 Days ~ Round 138

GrandmaJackie

Round 138

Please join us! Starting on 01/12 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 138
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
- check in at least every other day
- Participate
- Low carb

Hi everyone - I did this challenge quite a while ago. It's good to see some friendly faces (such as @GrandmaJackie ) in round 137 and round 138 starting soon. I will be joining this upcoming 10-day challenge.

SW: 160.8 lbs (as of 1/10/2021)
GW: 140
Comment: I've lost 20 lbs since November 2019 using the slow and steady way (also have been intermittent fasting since November 2019, too). I'd like to be at 130 but don't think that is realistic, so I am focusing on 140lbs.
Goals over the next 10 days:
(1) Meet step goal 5/7 days
(2) Drink green tea with honey when my stress levels get high and I want to snack
(3) Eat more nutrient dense foods instead of processed crap

Next goal: 189.5/86 (BMI: 29.8)
Aims:

• Experiment with different strategies to mitigate stress eating.

@UTMom81 Hi, I like your no junk food pix which is similar to my (non holiday) eating habits-I try not to eat anything processed or "white" (sugar, flour, limited salt,). Curious as to why peanut butter is considered a junk food? I love my sugar-free Simply Jif. As an aside, I love how you are always so inspirational and come up with these great challenge ideas!

Goals for this round:
- Get outside with the kids at least once a day
- No snacking after dessert at night
- Continue the beginner plank challenge

It’s hard to believe that we’re already a third of the way through January. I feel like it was just New Year’s Eve! I’m finding that I’m still struggling to get back into the weight loss mindset rather than maintenance - to not have “just a bite” or “just one treat” here and there throughout the day and especially at night. So one goal for this round is to improve my discipline regarding snacking. My other goal is to get the kids outside for a walk or playtime at least once a daily, ideally twice. It gives more structure to our day and just helps all of our moods, plus I get more steps each day.

Round 138

Please join us! Starting on 01/12 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 138
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
- check in at least every other day
- Participate
- Low carb

Oh My Goodness! GrandmaJackie, I am so glad to see you are still doing these challenges and I thank you, thank you, thank you!

I fell wayyy off the wagon last year, basically it was a black hole with lots of bread baking and no working out. And I'm back and motivated and happy to be here again. Haven't taken part in one of these challenges since round 105 when I was at my all time low, these challenges really work! Gained a little over 10 of it back and already lost a little the first week of the year. Anyway, great to see you all and looking forward to the next 10 days.

@designerdiscounts, EXCELLENT.....glad to see your back. “ basically it was a black hole with lots of bread baking and no working out. And I'm back and motivated and happy to be here again”

I totally UNDERSTAND completely. I’ve decided 2021, its TIME to work on ME!

I am back. 2020 was just a mess for me. In January I was at 135 and then the pandemic hit. I have to come to the conclusion 135 is just to low for me. It takes a ton of consistency and discipline for me to stay at that weight and even 1 day of indulging I can put 5 pounds on. It is heart breaking and destroys my confidence. I am shooting for 145-149 this time and I think that is way more sustainable for my lifestyle. I actually started last Monday at 174.7 (ouch I can't believe I just typed that), but weighed in today at 173.0. So It's better and I am trying to just take it a day at a time.
