End of 10 day challenge Goal: 245

Drink a minimum of 64 oz water a day

Swim, Circuit, Hike (5x minimum)

7/11 - 249.8 (+2.6) I had my weekly indulgence meal on Friday which should cause some weight gain, but I was a little surprised by this much. My scale also is acting weird so I weighed five times and took the weight that came up the most times. It might need a new battery. The other weights were less, so tomorrow should be a good day for weight loss, especially after a 3.7 mile hike this morning.
7/12 - 249.2 (+2.0) Slowly moving back down. 1 hour of circuit training scheduled for today. Staying focused.
7/13 - 247.6 (+.4) Finally, my weight is heading back down and I’m hopeful I can still meet my challenge goal. Today, I’m headed to a pool to swim laps. I haven’t done this for many years, so I’m a bit nervous and don’t know quite how long I’ll be able to keep going. It’s a good test and hopefully a fun way to exercise that I can add to my routine.

Day/Weight/Comment

7/11--212.5 Went out for a hike yesterday and the puppy did great. Then hubby and I went out for lunch yesterday at a hamburger place we hadn't been to in a long time, and let's just say that my body isn't used to all that heavy food any more, but this morning I am feeling much better. Trainer day today.
7/12--212.0 High carb day yesterday and sore from yesterday's workout, so expect an uptick tomorrow. Will be taking it easy today, just a couple of walks with the dog.
7/13--213.1 There is the uptick I expected.

12: 206.9 🥚It's been challenging for me to keep any kind of healthy routine with the kids home from school. Today is my day 1 to turn this around before any more time passes. My weight is up, but taking into consideration that I'm in my ovulation week this will likely drop quickly by the end of the round.
13: 204.6 🥚 Heading out the door for day 2 at the gym. Really happy with my how yesterday went with elliptical, IF, supplements, and 88oz of water. Could've done better on carbs, but had the meal planned/purchased before I decided to get back on track.

My scale readings bounced up 4 pounds when I changed batteries, so I didn’t suddenly gain 4+ pounds. I didn’t want to write that down but, other than the horror of a heavier weight, what difference does it make? So I’m going with the new readings, dammit.

7/11 - 189 - 1623
Sat. nights seem to be craving/over eating time for me. Oh well. I just finished reading Burn: New Research Blows the Lid Off How We Really Burn Calories, Lose Weight, and Stay Healthy by Herman Pontzer, PhD. Pontzer is a Associate Professor of Evolutionary Anthropology at Duke University, Associate Research Professor of Global Health at the Duke Global Health Institute, and an internationally recognized researcher in human energetics (basically how we burn calories). I found it fascinating. (Full disclosure — my background is in cultural anthropology, so I lean that way!) Burn is not a “how to lose weight” book, but the science he discusses is certainly applicable to our mutual quests here. Some reviews complain that there’s “too much science,” and there is quite a bit of chemistry and physiology in one or two chapters, but Pontzer explains things clearly, and the scientific grounding is exactly what appeals to me. Anyway, I thought I’d mention it in case anyone might be interested. If you listen to podcasts you can also find quite a few interviews with Pontzer that boil down much of the info.

7/12 - 189 - 1625
Fresh peaches — yum! I made a peach galette yesterday, and plan to have a piece for lunch. 😁 The calories aren’t bad if not added onto a regular meal day. And the peaches are so good! I split a 25# Peach Truck box with a friend, so may need to freeze a few to keep them from going bad. Did I mention how good they are?

5/10: 183.1 - just 2.9 pounds off 186, my heaviest weight ever - (stopped posting on this challenge July 2020 - very glad to be back!)

Round 156 Goals: 80oz water; row 30 mins, most days; free-weights; eat vegetables/fruit; IF most days; no sugar; Calorie/Carb cycle between 1000 to 2000 calories each day with an average between 1200 - 1500.

SW (7/10): 172.1

7/11 - 171.7 I'm not surprised at finally dropping to 171.X, it's been a long-time coming after bouncing around 172 to 174 for a while. This gives me hope that my wanting to hit the 160's this round may be possible but any loss will be a good loss.
7/12 - 171.7 Very glad to see that 171.x stuck around for 2 days!

7.11- found challenge at end of day. Last day of vacation
7.12- 190.6, I find myself mindful of trying to be more active now that I have some accountability in place. I bought belly beads last night bc they were super cute and sometimes it's the NSVs that keep us going.
7.13- 189.4, Focusing on sticking to one diet coke a day and then all of the water. Water is not my favorite lol.

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/10 …..197.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/11 …..197.6 ….. Same weight as yesterday. I was thrilled to get to 197 point anything but now it is hanging on too long and even fluctuating in a not so good way some days. Time to make some more real and lasting progress this round. Good luck everyone!

07/12 …..195.8 ….. The scale finally budged (and in the right direction!). Sometimes I forget that it takes it few days to see changes (both good and bad). Yesterday was a good day although water and movement was a bit insufficient. Meals were on target. I am going to run with the ball today and remember that every day matters. I have a lot of travel and social engagements that often derail me (most of us do!) I’ve got to allow these days that will be spent at or near home count!

07/13 …..195.2 ….. I ate very very late last night so I am only too happy to still see progress on the scale. The calories weren’t bad but the sodium was probably through the roof. Pushing water today!

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ Round 156 (round 88 for me ) I continue to need this to help keep me on track!
@QuiltingJaine - thank you yet again for setting up the new challenge.

Challenge for this round is to continue yet again to work back towards maintanence – any loss will be a win! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Keep calm – we're all in this together! Continue to wash hands, be kind, follow all latest Government guidelines in roadmap to normality for C-19 virus. Be positive for the future – I've had both of my vaccines, and after testing possitive 2 weeks ago am grateful that the vaccines ensured that I had the mildest of symptoms.

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 took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

7/11 134.4 – 10.47 miles walked yesterday, along the beach up to the headland and back, took in a charity craft fayre on the return walk, partaking of a coffee & cake whilst listening to a local band in the park. Another wonderful day ! So appreciate being able to get outdoors.
7/12 136.2 – only 3.39 miles walked yesterday before our 3.5 hour journey back & then disappointment at the game last night, but there's always next time!
7/13 134.4 – 12.17 miles walked yesterday & more sensible healthy eating.

😷Take care! Stay safe!😷

July focus:

• maintain weight < 150 (I have been maintaining since November 2019)
• Work on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
• Gradually working my way down to being consistently under 140lbs

I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

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

[/color]
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!
