JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 140 (round 72 for me ) I'm in for another round as I need this to help me keep on track! Thank you GrandmaJackie a brilliant champion in these unprecedented & unsettled times, for continuing to set 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 closer to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life ! Long term goal is to get and then stay under 130; then full maintanace starts and dare I say it is in my sights?
Challenge for this round – get into and stay in 120's? I've not been that low since before 2018! Stick with good habits; be mindful of what I eat & drink, try to keep it in moderation, keep walking, no binges; remember keeping the 10 days binge free makes such a difference! Run 4 x during the 10 days.
Keep calm – we're all in this together! Wash hands, be kind, continue to follow all latest Government guidelines for C-19 virus. Be positive for the vaccine – its here and inoculation has started! Take it when offered.End of round 69 134.2 lbs

GIVE ME 10 DAYS CHALLENGE 140
2/1 – 126.2 Oops, not the way I was supposed to start maintenance. Yesterday was highly distracting which helps. Trying to continue to pre-track my days. Last night though, I had a “first”. I was updating info for the 24 hour challenge I have been doing and I noticed I was 32 minutes shy of hitting 30 hours for the month. It was late and cold, but I got dressed and went out for a “walk”. Well I ended up jogging, and I jogged the entire time without stopping, 3.44 miles AND I am still alive. Maybe seeing that I could do that will encourage me to start making a greater effort towards switching to jogging/running from my fast walking. (For my future comparative records, as I print these out for my notebook, Tanita BF scale 126.5 and 26% BF at 6AM – curious what I will see at next check in May)
Very inspiring run. I'm well impressed!3 -

@musicsax thanks I am a long way off from what you are accomplishing in your runs. We’ll see what the future brings. The hard part is I look forward to the walks, I don’t currently look forward to running. Yet, of course lots of people do. So it must get enjoyable.1 -
Hi. I weigh in Kg and also record my Happy Scale trend

So, it is Feb 1 and also the first day of Round 140. I got under my stated goal just over one round ago, so now the process begins. My “weight” goal will be to maintain and, given staying the same is not very exciting, this will be all challenging for me. I have learned how to lose well, now to learn to maintain and more importantly to maintain while adding to my healthy habits.
Goal for 140 - to practice none weight loss goals. For this round, to close all three Apple Watch rings for 7 day in a row. I have yet to meet this challenge.
Past Goals- Get under 150
- Get under 145 by my birthday (10/26)
- Get to pre-COVID weight from Feb 2020, 142.4
- Get under 140 before Thanksgiving 2020,
- Not gain over Thanksgiving,
- Get below 135
- Lose min 2 lb during December
- Walk/run to Sombrero B for sunrise photo
- Maintain losses of time in Florida
- Maintain weight for round 136 which included Xmas as well as New Years
- lost the 1 token pound in round 137, but is was what I hoped for, so all good, right?
- passed the -1 lb goal for round 138, and actually passed UGW of 129

2/2 – 170.0 Makes more sense than yesterday’s low and I know it has nothing to do with 200 more calories yesterday. (decided to step on the Tanita scale, 6:30 AM, 127.0, 25% bodyfat. Interesting, up .8 yes down 25% - almost seems like this BF scale needs to be stepped on regularly to monitor trends)

02/02 - 148.8 - Inching back down. Have some bloat in my low low belly (below belly button but not so much above it). I think that's just the price I'm paying for the weekend. So long as I keep to my goals, it'll go away. 16hr fast, 90oz water. Had deer chili with a sweet potato-apple bake. Interesting, but quite good. Making steaks tonight. Bought some mushrooms to attempt drunken mushrooms (beer braised), and a sack of potatoes for garlic mashed potatoes. Leftover potatoes, I had in mind a baked potato for lunch. I have butter, cheese, bacon bits, and some frozen chopped bell pepper to cook up and add which makes me really excited for it. Need to buy some broccoli on my next grocery trip - cheesy broccoli baked potato is a favorite and I haven't had it in awhile. I'm salivating thinking about it! haha

Previous Day's Comments02/01 - My weight is down from yesterday, but my bloat is the worst its been in a verrrrrry long time. Not entirely sure what is going on but I'm thinking there's a lot of little things adding up quickly. Fasted 14.5hrs yesterday. Had pre-made sub for lunch. Ended up eating Whataburger (fast food) for dinner because by the time we finished at the land, it was late and we had nothing to cook at our house (at least not thawed). Water was good, drank about 72oz which isn't bad since we ran out of water. Probably needed more, but still better than before! Lots of movement. It'll come down, I'm sure of it. Especially since weekdays are pretty easy and BF will be out this weekend, or at least Friday evening/Saturday. Much easier to fast when he's not around and cooking for himself (mmmm bacon).

02/01 - I love my body She may not be perfect, and I may not always love her as I should, but she never gives up. The bloating I'm dealing with is her trying to keep us alive despite me not taking the best care of us. She does what she needs to do to make sure we stay as alive and healthy as possible. She works hard and though she may not be as strong as she once was and has some titanium upgrades, she still helps me walk, run, play, and work. And shoutout to my body for her dedication to us: ruck marching 12 miles on torn ligaments and tendons in my ankle with 30lbs, learning to walk and exceeding the necessary requirements for release after my back surgery (when there was a chance I'd lose use of my left leg and potentially both legs), suffering through a torn intestine (first time we ever fasted 3 days!), and just plain surviving what I (and life) throws at her for both of us. Body, you're a complete bada**. I absolutely do not love and appreciate you enough, but I'm so glad you love me unconditionally.02/02 - I love this group This group is an escape. A getaway. A place I can go when life gets a little heavy or when I have something amazing nobody else would truly understand or appreciate. I never thought I'd ever open up enough online (its a scary place) to call anyone a friend, but I consider all of you my friends. My little 10-day family on repeat. Not only are we all on a journey to health, but we are on a journey to get the most out of life and its beyond inspiring. Without this group, I know I wouldn't be making the progress I am. Reading all your successes keeps me going, knowing it IS possible. Without everyone here posting about their struggles, I wouldn't understand my own and how to overcome them. I look forward to coming here every day, not always to post about me, but to read how everyone is doing. I'm invested in your journey. I worry about you when things get tough and wait impatiently for the next day's post to see if you're okay. I'm truly excited for you when things go wonderful. Especially during COVID when it's hard to get together, I'm not missing out on this group. We come together regardless and it brings so much normalcy back when normal isn't possible elsewhere in my life. I appreciate all of you so much

New challenge … no more sugar free chocolate as a snack in February! I’ve gotten addicted and I really never cared much for chocolate LOL
I started eating just a couple of the sugar free Russell Stover dark chocolate mix pieces a day back in October and realize looking at my journal that I'm eating 5-6 pieces a day now. This is absolutely CRAZY!!! Though the net carbs are low the calories are still there. Each piece is 1 net carb but ~60 calories! So I'm eating 300+ calories when grazing chocolate because I'm stress, bored, or whatever. This is a new habit I don't need that I didn't have over the past 60 years.10 -
@SheilaBoneham, I did a quick author search on your name after you mentioned you had another book idea, and boy, am I impressed! You've written LOTS of books! That's awesome!
Oh my! That IS a lot of books! How cool (: I wish my mom was on here, she'd love talking to you (former author - quit because she hated her publisher)6 -

Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205
Since my previous 10-day average was about four pounds higher than my last full challenge about 6 weeks ago, I just need to keep shaving off the holiday pounds till I get closer to 211. Then pick up where I left off.
I have a trip planned for May that will be a good inspirational milestone.

2/01 – 202.2 -- 10,334 steps, 45 min aerobics yesterday. Very motivated by proximity to a weigh under 200 to get there and stay there! Today’s focus: LIFT THE DARN WEIGHTS and AVOID THE TRAIL MIX. Busy day today and I’m off to a late start. Trying to work in the more difficult, higher-impact 15-minute interval workout into my daily exercise at least twice this week.
2/02 – 203.6 – 15,784 steps, 45 min aerobics yesterday. Surprising gain. Lots of sodium yesterday, I guess. Didn’t fast Sunday as I typically do and am fasting today.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/01 -130.6. Got some good sleep yesterday, stayed within all my nutritional goals, took a long walk in beautiful weather outside. Let's see what we can do this round!
02/02 -129.6. Missed my 10:30 pm bedtime, but met my other goals yesterday! I'm back to where I was at the end of round 138. I'll try again for my bedtime goal tonight-- the difference in the morning is very noticeable!
Also, *loving* all the posts so far...I am so grateful for this group! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie 💕

New round, new week, new month! I’ve been listening to Dr. Kelly McGonigal’s 40-day habit change
program, and in the first few days she encourages focus on one habit change that may help in achieving goals. The one thing that comes first and repeatedly to mind for me is to get up earlier. I used to be up at at my “office” — fav coffee shop — when they opened at 6 every morning. I’d write until DH showed up around 8 for breakfast, then write when he left until about 10:30, so a good 4 hours of work first thing. Then I’d go to one of my walking trails and walk 4-6 miles, then home, my daily work quota accomplished. Since March I’ve turned into a slug-a-bed, not getting up until we’ll past 8 most days. My non-weight-related (though it may be related, come to think of it) goal this round is to change that habit, aiming for 7 a.m. for now. It is easier in the summer, but I really don’t need to hibernate, and I have a new book idea and some other writing half finished, so, new round, new week, new month, new habits! ❄️🧘🏻🧑🏻💻📖🌞

Had a bit of a snack attack last night — triscuits and cheese, so not junk, but I didn’t need the calories. I did get up an hour earlier this morning — bit by bit!

2/2 - I love a satisfying breakfast — homemade egg-Canadian bacon-cheese-whole grain muffin sandwich & coffee. Mmmmm.

Oh my! That IS a lot of books! How cool (: I wish my mom was on here, she'd love talking to you (former author - quit because she hated her publisher)
You guys got me doing and internet search as well. So very cool!
Well, gosh — thank you, ladies! Just the boost I need. I’ve been on a fairly long hiatus for multiple reasons (including major issues with my last publisher, so I identify with your mom, @SModa61 ), but am starting to feel recharged finally. 🤓 I appreciate you guys taking the time to check up on me!13
