Round 170
Please join us! Starting on 11/18 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 169
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

Day/Weight/Comment
11/28 - 159.6 Ate OK during the day. Tracked all food. Ate dinner at friends' home, and she brought out the mint chocolate covered almonds after dinner. I indulged. 🙄
11/29 - 158.8 Snacked too much in the afternoon - got very hungry
11/30 - 159.4 Thought I ate OK but was way over WW points; did well controlling snacking and portions. Went for a 2 mile jog! My back was OK - a little sore a few hours later. I think I can work back up to regular jogging! My body was so happy to be active outside!!
12/1 - 158.6 Limited snacking; just one serving at dinner - but it might have been a bit more caloric. Didn't figure out calorie count. (Husband cooked.)
12/2 - 158.8 Jogged for 30 minutes

Now that Thanksgiving is over, I’m refocused and determined to make this round count!
161 SW: 222.2
EW: 221.6
162 EW: 218.6

166 EW: 206.2
167 EW: 203.2
168 EW: 198.2
169 EW: 201.2
SW: 201.2
11/28: 199.8 Back on track and it feels so good! 51 net carbs, only off my step goal by about 200, and a Pelo ride done. Bring on the day!
11/29 198.0 39 net carbs. Started coming down with something yesterday, so I was resting as much as I could and came nowhere near my step goal.
11/30 195.4 Woke up sick, so yesterday was a matter of survival. My carbs were higher than usual, and my steps virtually nonexistent.
12/1 195.6 Another day of not feeling well, but better than the day before. I ate closer to normal yesterday, so the tiny uptick is no surprise. 64 net carbs, but again, nowhere near my step goal. I’ll be back at it soon though!
12/2 196.0 Had a close to normal eating day yesterday, so not surprised to see the number up a little today. I’m slowly recovering from this bug. 55 net carbs, but fell short on steps. Recovery is the name of my game this week.

Hi all, 😁 this will be my third round.
I have lost 10 pounds so far from highest from previous rounds.
30 year old, Female, 5"3, UK
SW: 172.6
GW this round: 169
UGW: 130
Day/Weight/Comment
11/28/ 172.6/ dropped quite a bit from yesterday, recalculated my SW from 174.2, had lots of tea this morning, green, spiced and camomile, two wee mini burgers for lunch total cals 160. Feeling positive I can reach goal, once this round is over, if I stay on track, I'll have lost a full stone. A quarter of the way to my UGW.
11/29/ 171.8/ so close to my first benchmark, will try hard this week, plan to go swimming 😀
11/30/ 170.5/ didn't expect the drop, this is good, lots of herbal teas and moderate exersise, played pool for an hour last night. Had pie for dinner. Good news, getting there.
12/1/ 170.4/ kept within my calories for day yesterday, although I had a takeaway, its important for me to exersise more so going to horse riding tomorrow. Had a hot bath last night which is good for weight loss. Missed breakfast today as it was my day off and I slept in, so hoping the sleep burnt some extra cals through the night..I usually try for a 12 hour sleep on days I can, I sleep like a log. My pedometer arrived, so my steps where very low yesterday, it reset so I lost some data, but hoping to see what walking to shop counts as. Plan to just have a hotdog for dinner, should be enough, and tasty. Hope everyone else is keeping well, and reaching their goals 😊 gotta keep that mojo!
12/2/ 170.6/ went to country park for walk in morning, and also horse riding this afternoon, plenty of exercise is what I needed. Havnt ate much but my monthly is due so I'll prob make up for it next few days, I'll try my best 😊 also it's the weekend coming up, so will try not to snack. Had veges for dinner there, and will just drink herbal tea tonight.

Round 170 (102nd for me). I prove yet again round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow.
There is only 27 days to Christmas !! So I'd like to lose 4 pounds for then, that is only 4.5 weeks, a pound a week or 1.4 pounds per round. I know it will be tight, with pre-Christmas activities, but I'm going to persevere and keeping going. Still feeling better about the dress I want to wear next weekend for Peaky Blinders dance night. I need to remain binge free, but at the end of the day – yet again any loss will be a win!
Covid numbers keep yo-yoing in England – we reached “freedom day” months ago, but there is still a pandemic, and now a new variant: Covid is still around! Continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in public indoor settings, always consider 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 took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But than I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/28 135.2 – only managed 3.56 miles yesterday, Storm Arwen stopped me ! Snow, sleet, high winds which were icy cold – bbrrrrr, hence day was over on calories & carbs & weight!
11/29 133.8 – pleasantly surprised by this number after a high carb low mileage weekend, but will take it! Again wintery weather was against me yesterday, only 4.25 miles walked, hence 25 calories & 88 carbs over.
11/30 133.8 – pleased this number stayed around, 9.5 miles walked yesterday & a good food day, calories well under, carbs 17 over.
12/1 133.8 – 9.11 miles walked yesterday followed by the rest of the day painting in my sisters house, 2 coats of 50/50 paint/water on the fresh plaster on all walls and ceiling in her lounge. Good camaraderie with my sisters whilst we work. Not too a bad food day, she did provide us with a slice of homemade lemon drizzle cake after our jacket potato with chilli, but you know what, it wasn't worth the extra calories!!
12/2 133.8 – 8.86 miles walked yesterday, calories under but 44 carbs over.

Can we post recipe links here? Sorry if not! Hah. It has cumin, smoked paprika, onion and garlic power.

It was really tasty. My cauliflower turned out smaller than I was expecting once I cleaned it up and it roasted.3 -
I’m 5’7, 29 years old, female. I follow a lifting program and would like to decrease my body fat while maintaining muscle mass. My strength programming is 6x/week and I’m considering doing doubles twice a week since it’s so hard to fit in a workout when I leave for work at 6am and get home around 8pm 3x a week.
My starting weight in Oct 2021 was 156.6
Goals: stay in a mild calorie deficit, hit 110-140 grams of protein per day, avoid added sugars, 20-30 minutes of cardio on lifting days (4xweek, non-work days), add one day of double strength training per week.
11/28 151.2 surprisingly stayed the same weight after the Thanksgiving feast yesterday. Cardio for the day 20 minutes of single arm devils press, overhead walking lunges, and box jumps. Reload week on my strength training programming, but still lots of Bulgarian split squats today (the worst move ever). Meal planned and bought groceries for the week. Dinner was sautéed mushrooms and riced broccoli with a balsamic reduction and baked tofu. Protein: 135g
11/29 150.2 woke up with a bit of a head cold, but the weather was lovely! I took a walk, did some a farmers carry step up and rowing workout for some cardio and then a press day for strength. I intended to do double strength today, but felt pretty sickly. Dinner was a bok choy, mushroom, soba stir fry with baked tofu. Protein: 143g
11/30 151.2 still have a cold, but it’s a minor annoyance and not a miserable bug.. Plus it’s during a stretch of 5 days off. Took a walk, did 20 minutes of KB swings, push-ups, wallballs, jump rope, lunges for cardio and then a light pull day. Dinner was spaghetti squash, mushroom, kale, leeks and seitan. Protein: 141
12/1 152.1 cold still lingering but improving. Another day in the 70’s (isn’t it December??), so I’ll take a nice walk. I’ve been double checking my recipes for accuracy since the scale hasn’t been moving but can’t find any discrepancies and I weigh everything to grams 🤷♀️ Rowing, DB snatch, sit-ups for cardio and light leg day for strength. Lunch will be leftovers as always, dinner is roasted cauliflower and chickpeas with a herbed tahini sauce and baked tofu. Protein: 131
12/2 151.8 workday 1/3. Thought the head cold was improving but I had awful sleep and today was rough! Last night’s dinner for lunch. Broccoli edamame fried brown rice and seitan for dinner. Protein: 118

Day/Weight/Comment
11/28 135.2 – only managed 3.56 miles yesterday, Storm Arwen stopped me ! Snow, sleet, high winds which were icy cold – bbrrrrr, hence day was over on calories & carbs & weight!
11/29 133.8 – pleasantly surprised by this number after a high carb low mileage weekend, but will take it! Again wintery weather was against me yesterday, only 4.25 miles walked, hence 25 calories & 88 carbs over.
11/30 133.8 – pleased this number stayed around, 9.5 miles walked yesterday & a good food day, calories well under, carbs 17 over.
12/1 133.8 – 9.11 miles walked yesterday followed by the rest of the day painting in my sisters house, 2 coats of 50/50 paint/water on the fresh plaster on all walls and ceiling in her lounge. Good camaraderie with my sisters whilst we work. Not too a bad food day, she did provide us with a slice of homemade lemon drizzle cake after our jacket potato with chilli, but you know what, it wasn't worth the extra calories!!
12/2 133.8 – 8.86 miles walked yesterday, calories under but 44 carbs over.
12/3 133.4 - 125 & 94 calories & carbs over respectively. A day travelling up to care for my toddler DGS, took him to an animal farm with a soft play area, but no structured walking.

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
11/28 209.5 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, fishing, not tracking food. Chips, pie, and drinks are damaging any success I’m making with good choices at meal time. Burned my hand which was not a good excuse to drink bourbon but I soothed it with Aloe on the hand and a few drinks instead of pain meds. TODAY is a good day to start fresh.
11/29 209.3 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 2.5 + .5 miles, fishing, 1404 cal, 123 net carbs, AF.
11/30 209.4 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, fishing 1437 cal, 103 net carbs, 2 bourbon & diet cokes.
12/1 210.1 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked .5 + .5 miles, Strength Training class 1 hr, 2619 cal, 134 net carbs, 2 bourbon & diet cokes. Okay 2 slices of pecan pie did not bode well for weight loss.
12/2 209.8 Walked 3 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, 2171 cal, 205 net carbs, AF.

12/03 - 150.1 - Sodium blimp from dinner. Fam tried a Thai sweet and sour chicken soup and had edamame as a side. Unfortunately she realized after the fact, the edamame came pre-salted. They were delicious, but they were, indeed, salty. Water good, all habits good. Did walk the plant for my NF active rest day and completed all 3 sets of 10 pushups for QFit (I'm keeping it in a spoiler below in case anyone follows along with me or is curious). Up early to go out to the land and get out in nature while everyone else works. It's a very stressful time, a huge "go live" is happening starting January 1st and 3 people have quit this week. They're already extremely understaffed. Poor BF is doing the jobs of 4 or 5 people already (including the work of positions both higher and lower than his own but he can't promote until he's held his position at least a year, which will be June 1st).

Previous Day's Comments11/28 - Progress is progress, no matter how slow. I'll take it. Especially since Fam wanted to go out last night, we didn't make it home until almost 1am, and I'm running on about 5 hours of sleep. I'm also quite sore, particularly in my legs, since I did a small bodyweight workout yesterday. Knee is still tender, but doing better and I'm trying to work around it. Water was very good yesterday but I can still tell I've got some bloat to contend with. Will keep hacking away at my habits, though. Fasted yesterday for about 16.5 hours. My goal fasting window doesn't open up until 2pm today so we shall see how long I can hold off before my body yells "no more!" It may take a few days to retrain my body to this fasting schedule so I'm not terribly worried. Again, progress is progress, no matter how slow.
11/29 - Hey, it's still progress! Think some of this weight is DOMS, some hormonal. I was beyond sore by end of day yesterday. Struggling to get in and out of the chair. Today I'm still sore, but I've already pushed through 5 minutes on the rowing machine at a slow pace (NF app "morning activity" which can be meditation, journaling, workout, yoga, stretching, any activity that will wake up the brain and begin the brain-body communication WITHOUT electronics. Right now, it's creating the habit, so they only have us doing 5 minutes until it becomes habit, then moving on to longer times. I also used their method of "temptation bundling" like I did with running: I can only listen to my podcasts when I'm on the rower, walking, or running.) I'm going to try to push through at least 1 of their body weight workout rounds (they aim for 3 rounds of it, but I only did 2 on Saturday and I was barely able to walk yesterday so taking it easy today with rowing to help supplement). Food wasn't great, but I did manage to stay within calories and started fasting really early (had more of a lunch that ended about 3pm) and 90oz water. Going to push as far as I can with fasting today so I don't have a horribly long eating window to stuff my face. Went shopping and have balanced dinners planned for the week. Will be commuting at least Wednesday, possibly Thursday so I have a balanced meal for those planned. It should give me enough for at least 3 days so I'll have to find something healthy for today's lunch to get me through. Hopefully I can see 140s again without too much issue in the next day or two.
11/30 - There we go, back into the 140s. Now to hold on to that. Yesterday was good with all my daily habits. Finished 1.5 rounds of the bodyweight circuit and I'm still sore, but less so. Also did yoga stretching yesterday beforehand to help with the soreness. Active rest today was a nice wake up yoga morning routine. I have a conference webinar taking up most of the morning so I'll try to focus on getting up for some light movement (even if its pacing) throughout. Batch cooking some chicken burrito bowls for lunch today through Thursday. Tonight will be shrimp tacos. Tomorrow I commute in to work so I may or may not be able to post, but will weigh in and do my best to pop on. Same with Thursday if I end up having to drive in (dependent on how tomorrow goes). At the very least, I'll be back Friday.
12/01 - Guessing this is due to waking up several hours earlier than normal. Not worried about it since I look and feel way less bloated than yesterday! Long couple days ahead but I've set myself up well enough. Healthy snacks (salmon packets, protein shake), a balanced lunch, and water all packed and ready to go. Plan to do bodyweight exercises (squats, pushups, lunches, planks) during breaks at work plus I'm sure I'll have plenty of walking to do.
12/02 - All habits good but water was close! I ended up finishing my water goal with dinner but then had to wake up twice to use the bathroom..oops. Weight is alright, expected. The commute is hard, especially since it hasn't been that frequent - dinner is within 45 minutes of my lights out and the early wakeup doesn't help the scale. Body isn't used to having to function that way yet. Had a touch of heartburn from eating so close to dinner, but luckily it passed quickly. Hopefully with time and routine, my body will adjust to that as well. Feeling sleepy but coffee is brewing and the smell alone helps a bit (coffee is more like a placebo than actually doing anything for me. I don't drink more than my small travel mug which is about 1 1/2 to 2 cups if I drink any at all then switch to water for the day). Below I attached a picture of a goal I'm working on with QSciences (feel free to join if you'd like). Also keeping up with my NF Journey habits. I did my NF bodyweight at work yesterday (1 round and I'm still sore from it) and my plank. Thankfully tomorrow I don't have to work because today's QFit challenge is tripling the squats I do with NF bodyweight! I plan on spacing them through the day, though.

Now that Thanksgiving is over, I’m refocused and determined to make this round count!

168 EW: 198.2
169 EW: 201.2
SW: 201.2
11/28: 199.8 Back on track and it feels so good! 51 net carbs, only off my step goal by about 200, and a Pelo ride done. Bring on the day!
11/29 198.0 39 net carbs. Started coming down with something yesterday, so I was resting as much as I could and came nowhere near my step goal.
11/30 195.4 Woke up sick, so yesterday was a matter of survival. My carbs were higher than usual, and my steps virtually nonexistent.
12/1 195.6 Another day of not feeling well, but better than the day before. I ate closer to normal yesterday, so the tiny uptick is no surprise. 64 net carbs, but again, nowhere near my step goal. I’ll be back at it soon though!
12/2 196.0 Had a close to normal eating day yesterday, so not surprised to see the number up a little today. I’m slowly recovering from this bug. 55 net carbs, but fell short on steps. Recovery is the name of my game this week.
12/3 195.0 97 net carbs yesterday because of a strong craving for Stromboli. Fell just a little short on steps, but I am recovering some more from this flu or whatever it was that I’ve had all week.

Hi, I’m Karen and am in my 50’s.
I’ve been in this group for a long time and the 10 Day thing is great for me. THANK YOU!!!!🌷
OSW-187 Sept. 2018
GW-150
11/30-170- I am 2 lbs. away from my Pre-Thanksgiving (and ALL of the left overs) weight.
12/1-168-Whew, finally. I’ve been eating my meaty turkey soup, had ham and creamed spinach for breakfast, just no bread or pie. Moving my horse to a new stable today.
12/3-167-I got my horse moved to less than a mile down the road, which is good. I used to have a 45 minute round trip and used to snack the whole way coming and going.😬 This is nice because I can run home, have a healthy lunch and go back.8 -
@deepwoodslady Peace be with you. I hope you can focus on great memories about your brother to occupy the front of your mind.5

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.

Leftovers in.
11/29: 206.6
Leftovers out. That is crazy. I think my scale was trolling me yesterday.
11/30: 207.2
Having some trouble nursing my discipline back to health. I wounded it during the Thanksgiving holiday.
My first scale reading of this round obliterated any possibility for a decent ten-day average.
I have never been as interested as I am this year about being interested. Caring about caring. Paying attention to paying attention during the holiday season. This makes it difficult to think about the annual office parties, open houses, family gatherings that are all ahead of me. Not to mention the gatherings I don’t even know about yet.
In the past for me, this has been all about the food (including last weekend.) Now, today, I will try to think more about the people I am with. My discipline is not mortally wounded! But, it has an infection.
12/01: 206.2
Steady day. Good exercise.
12/02: 207.4
Open house by one of my consultants this evening. Going to try to at least go lower carb.
12/03: 208.4
I am nothing more than a container that gets filled and emptied. Feeling a little Holiday pressure these days.

11/28: 209.7
11/29: 208.6 - Wow I had a lot of catching up to do I couldn't believe the last round ended 2 days ago. Thanksgiving weekend flew by! I feel like I ate pretty well and when I didn't I made sure I adjusted the rest of my day to that to stay under calories. Just have to buckle down for the end of the year. I WILL be under 200 by Christmas.
11/30: 208.1 - Last day of the month long Apple Watch challenge to work out every day, I did it. At this point I might as well go the rest of the year but maybe do something different tomorrow. I love the bike but my hamstring (previously torn) is not doing well. Rather give myself a day of rest than re-tear it and be forced into months of rest.
12/1: 207.0 - A decent surprise after waking up with a bit of a stomach issue. Set a new 20 minute PR on the Peloton which again was a surprise. Took a progress picture this morning, don't see much difference in last 10 lbs but see major difference in last 20 lbs.
12/2: 208.3 - Okay so yesterday was the outlier. Got it. Probably didn't help that we had Chinese for lunch yesterday and then I had pasta for dinner. Trend still down, workouts still happening so not worried!
12/3: 208.1 - Last round was a big drop so this round is flattening out, it makes sense. Either way, my cardio is improving which is great. I PR'd again for a 20 minute Peloton ride. 2x in 3 days so I'm definitely getting better there. I'm feeling not as confident about the 200 by Christmas but we will see!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/28 - 159.6 Ate OK during the day. Tracked all food. Ate dinner at friends' home, and she brought out the mint chocolate covered almonds after dinner. I indulged. 🙄
11/29 - 158.8 Snacked too much in the afternoon - got very hungry
11/30 - 159.4 Thought I ate OK but was way over WW points; did well controlling snacking and portions. Went for a 2 mile jog! My back was OK - a little sore a few hours later. I think I can work back up to regular jogging! My body was so happy to be active outside!!
12/1 - 158.6 Limited snacking; just one serving at dinner - but it might have been a bit more caloric. Didn't figure out calorie count. (Husband cooked.)
12/2 - 158.8 Jogged for 30 minutes; controlled snacking and ate well

11/28 211.2 (-.4) Still coming down from Thanksgiving. Today I’m hiking with both of my sisters.
11/29 210.4 (-1.2) Wow! This is my first holiday season logging here and really staying focused. I enjoyed Thanksgiving and ate all my favorite foods then did my best to get back on track the day after. I’m only .6 over my low weight. It’s really helped to read the forums to stay encouraged. No organized exercise today.
11/30 209.0 (-2.6) Dropped my Thanksgiving bump and down .8 from my former low weight. I’m still a bit in shock that I can enjoy eating my favorite holiday foods including egg nog and pumpkin pie with lots of whip cream and drop the extra weight in less than a week if I get back on track the following day. Just one more real life example helping me build confidence that I can do this and not only reach goal weight, but maintain it once I get there.
12/1 209.4 (-2.2) Swimming was good yesterday. I still have company in town, but working to stay on plan. Today is no organized exercise. I need to drink more water today.
12/2 208.6 (-3.0) My family leaves tomorrow to head home. I’ve loved having them here. Still, it will be nice to get back to my routine. I’m finishing a big commission for a collector for Christmas and that will be done in about a week. I’m looking forward to just relaxing and making plans for the new year. My goals every year include losing weight and exercising more. I’m happy I finally made progress this year. The health goal will be to finally get to goal weight and maintain. A new challenge for a new year.
12/3 207.2 (-4.4) I’m surprised by the loss so far. I did gain right before the round started, with Thanksgiving, so that explains some of it. Still, I can’t believe I am less than 8 pounds away from weighing under 200 pounds! I honestly never thought it would happen. I have been getting more water the last few days.

12/1 141.3 The last of the Thanksgiving uptick is off along with just a touch more (yay!).
12/2 141.3 The weather has been beautiful here in the CO Rockies, sunny (typical year-round) and in the 60's (atypical for Dec). Yesterday, my husband and I went for a hike in my favorite local park; it was wonderful. This was in addition to my (almost) daily exercises. I hope others are enjoying good weather for outdoor activities!
