Round 143

Please join us! Starting on 03/03 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 143
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

    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!😷

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

    Aims:
    2021 Focus:
    • Maintain weight < 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 ✅ Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
    • That's a WIN in my book!
    • 2021
    • 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!

    Male: 63
    6’-2”
    OSW: 237.8 (Nov. 2016)
    OGW: 199 (just to say I did)
    Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205

    This round is the roughly one-year anniversary of when I quit the 10 challenges last year to obsess about the virus. Stuck at home unless I was at work. My main form of exercise was pulling the frig or cupboard handle. It took about 3 months to climb back on the wagon.

    I really would like to reach my OGW sometime in 2021.

    Goal for this round is to have a lower average than last round. I have a lot of work to do to get back to where I was last August and beyond.

    Still need to get some form of exercise kick started.


    Historical Averages:

    Age: 39
    Height: 5’ 3”
    SW: 163
    CW: 125.8
    GW: 125

    GW for this round: 125

    Round 135 (10): 136.6 to 133.6 (-3.0 lbs)
    Round 136 (11): 133.6 to 133.2 (-0.4 lbs)
    Round 137 (12): 133.2 to 131.8 (-1.4 lbs)
    Round 138 (13): 131.8 to 130.2 (-1.6 lbs)
    Round 139 (14): 130.2 to 128.8 (-1.4 lbs)
    Round 140 (15): 128.8 to 127.4 (-1.4 lbs)
    Round 141 (16): 127.4 to 128.2 (+0.8 lbs)
    Round 142 (17): 128.2 to 125.8 (-2.4 lbs)

    Goals for this round:

    - Reach my goal weight

    Any other goals seem superfluous at this point. I need to keep doing what I have been doing: follow the meals I’ve planned; stick to a 500 calorie deficit; and I’ll get there. Once I get to 125, I’ll focus on what to do next.

    @GrandmaJackie – Thank you so much for keeping these challenges going! I learned so much from the group when I was participating regularly, and I’m looking forward to getting back to them.

    @UTMom81 – I love your idea for a step challenge! Thanks for making it so flexible 😊

    Hi all! I’ve been away from MFP and this community for almost a year, with predictable results. I’m still struggling with motivation and focus, but I hope that setting reasonable goals and re-establishing good habits will get me back on track. It should be like riding a bike, right?

    Round 143 (restart – 1)
    Daily goals for this round:
    • Log
    • Walk or bike
    • Reflect and post

    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... :D...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.

    The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

    JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 143 (round 75 for me ) I need this to help me keep on track! Thank you @GrandmaJackie you so enrich so many of our lives by keeping the challenge going.

    Female age 62 5' 4” - Challenge for this round – stay >130 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!

    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 – I've had my first, spread positivity and encouragement for it to others.

    Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's taken me 75 rounds to acheive my under 130 target; now mainanence starts again!! It's a permanent way of life.

    March challenge – average steps for the last 10 days = 21,566, this has been slewed by a couple of particularly high days ( I normally aim for 19K steps ), during the challenge I aim to do an additional 5% which is a daily total of 23,723 – I'll do my best !!

    03/01 21,157
    03/02 26,594 - made a conservative effort to do more steps after a walking reckie to check how long it takes to walk to the vaccination centre.

    Rolling average for March 23,875


    KEEP SAFE EVERYONE :). Keep calm – we're all in this together!

    You are AMAZING! So glad I'm competing against myself and not against you! I can be, and AM, inspired by you though! :-)
