Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 192

musicsax

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 192 ( my 124th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.

Goal this round is just to lose, I want my Commonwealth Volunteer uniform to feel a little less “snug” ! No binges, keep within calories & macros.

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 then 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
7/6 138.8 – 9.65 mles walked, less than 50% exercise calories eaten back, 39 carbs over. Looking brighter!
7/7 139.4 – providing child care for 2 little DGD yesterday; the older one (3) was sick with a really nasty cold/virus so very little movement yesterday hence calories were over and it shows on scales.
7/8 139.4 – providing child care for 2 little DGD yesterday; the older one (3) was sick with a really nasty cold/virus so very little movement yesterday hence calories were over and it shows on scales.
7/9 138.6 – 9.79 miles walked yesterday, all but 55 exercise calories eaten back.



7/10 139.4 – 13.64 miles walked yesterday, ¾ exercise calories eaten back, 12 carbs over.
7/11 140.4 – 15.02 miles walked yesterday, ¾ exercise calories eaten back. We didn't take a picnic on our walk like we normally do at weekends, we stopped a little over half way at an old fashioned restaurant/bar and had a ploughman's platter washed down with a cider. I guesstimated the food portions as best I could and only had 2 pieces of fruit for evening meal so I was hoping I'd not gain. I am guessing/hoping that this gain is mainly due to the extra sodium, MFP shows 1597mg sodium & 34g fat over. We had a selection of cheeses, pepperoni, salami, parma ham, blue cheese, salad, coleslaw, pork pie, fresh bread, more cheese!! There was a lot of cheese!! I did drink a ton of water, especially as it was so hot to keep hydrated, but it was delicious and presented so attractively too, oh well will be super extra good today to make up for it! Already been out and walked over 8 miles before the heat builds up to much.
7/12 139.4 – 9.91 miles walked yesterday, no exercise calories eaten back, chugges so much water !! Need constistency now.
7/13 138.4 - 8.69 miles walked, 20% of exercise calories eaten back. Still really chugging that water, keeping hydrated !
7/14 138.4 – 12.28 miles walked yesterday, 40% exercise calories eaten back.
7/15 138.8 – 5.46 miles walked yesterday, around a wild life park with 2 little DGDs & pushing buggy. Phone call from DH just after we got there revealed that he had taken our lunch & therefore we had his !! So all my healthy food he had & we had his which stustains him through 8 hours of hard physical work (arborist), so I didn't consume the food planned, but did restrict to a minimum the more calorie heavy items. 3 year old DGD was highly amused, but eagerly ate his chocolate cake bar! One pound lost this round, a win !!

KEEP SAFE EVERYONE . Keep calm – Covid is still out there despite lifting of practically all restrictions, take care, remain vigilant we're still in this together!

?￰ﾟﾑﾍThis is NOT A DIET. It’s a PERMANENT HEALTHY LIFESTYLE?￰ﾟﾑﾍ

karilbrandt

@wakegrrl – I am glad to hear that you are feeling better!

karilbrandt

Hi all, this will be my second round. I lost 2 pounds the first round. I hope to keep that up this round.
Welcome to all the new members this round!

UGW: 150
191 SW: 252.6 EW: 250.6
192 SW: 250.6 GW: 248.0 (down 2.6 pounds)

7/6: 251.0 – slight increase due to poor choices yesterday. I will get back into the groove today.
7/7: 250.6 – down to starting weight. It was a bad day yesterday from what I ate and drank, but I was still OK on calories. I need to get back on track today!
7/8: 252.0 – up some today. Probably due to sodium, but we will see as I had two bad days there. I got back on track yesterday. Now, I just need to stay on track!
7/9: 252.0 – Still the same. I ate on plan yesterday, so I hope that the weight starts coming off again soon.
7/10: 251.2 – Down some from yesterday so I am glad to see that. Went out to lunch with the family and ate off my eating plan but still stayed OK on calories although ate too many carbs. Dinner, I ate back on plan. I am planning all my meals today and the rest of the week so that I stay on plan and, hopefully, I will lose some more before Friday!
7/11: 252.2 – Up again! Probably due to sodium. Looking back, I did eat higher than normal sodium. So, I need to work on sodium intake.
7/12: 249.0 – I guess it was the sodium. It all came off plus some. Let’s see if it stays off!
7/13: 248.2 – Well I guess that I had a lot of water weight on me. It is very nice to see the weight finally come off. If this lasts, I am almost to my goal for this round! I hope it stays off!
7/14: 248.2 – I am so glad that the weight has stayed off! I guess that I have really lost a few more pounds. I have been fine on calories this whole time so it makes sense that some weight would eventually come off.
7/15: 246.6 – I made it! I am 4 pounds down this round! It was really weird as I held on to the weight most of this round and it decided to all come off right at the end. I wasn’t doing anything differently.

Yesterday I did a one hour peloton ride and hot yoga. Today I think I’ll just take the dogs for a walk. Having pizza for dinner tonight so I’ll have to plan accordingly. We’re going to a pool with some friends. I’ll probably be too busy chasing my one year old around to overindulge anyway. Happy Friday everyone!

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!

I am female and 66 years young from northern California

Round Goal: I’d love to get to 135, Then I’d only have 10 lbs. to go. 10 lbs. sounds like so much less than 12 lbs.
UGW: 125
SGW: 136.8
Day/Weight/Comment
7/6 - 136.8 – Today we are rounding up volunteers to trim part of the hiking trail. Not a lot of walking more bending and stooping.
7/7 – 136.4 – Yesterday I decided I need stronger legs so I can get off the ground more gracefully. I did 2 sets of squats. Sore legs today. Off for a walk today with a serious hill.

7/8 – 135.8 – Yay, getting closer to my round goal of 135.

7/9 – 136 – Why isn’t losing weight linear? I had a big dinner with a couble glasses of wine. While I was under my calories for the day, probably a lot of food in my gut

7/10 – 136 – Got poison oak all over my face. I was working on our trail and must have touched my face with my gloves. Also have sore hip so took a day off from walking. Stayed under my calories.

7/11 – 135.4 – We had roasted vegetables with white beans, pasta, and pesto. So good. I wanted a glass of wine for dinner but decided that it was more important to lose weight. I seem to be talking to myself a lot these days. Suffering with poison oak. Sometimes suffering means a glass of wine so happy that I skipped it. I have a dress I’d like to fit into in 2.5 weeks. I can zip it up but it would look better if I lost 5 lbs.

7/12 – 135.4 – Went to physical therapy and came how sore. Decided to have a couple of glasses of wine since my shoulder was so sore. I was under my calories for the day. Did a 4 mile walk in the morning.

7/13 – 135.4 – Went for a 3 hour walk yesterday and was under my calories for the day.

7/14 – 135 – Went for a 7 mile walk, hit my round goal!
7/15 – 136.4 Went to our friends’ house for dinner. I think this is water retention due to salt. Went for a 3 mile walk. Sigh, disappointed that I hit my goal yesterday and then back up due to walt. Oh well, there is the nextround.

Hi All - This is my round three. I've lost a couple pounds since starting. If I can just keep the downward trend going, I'll be very happy.

SW: 146.6
7/6 W- 145.8 - Peloton & yoga yesterday; planned/tracked my food
7/7 Th - 146.0 - Yesterday: Yoga & strength workout; tracked food but 300 over calorie goal. Today: Traveling so most likely won't be able to exercise.
7/8 F - ?? - Traveling; on the road 900+ miles over the past two days, but we made it to SW Florida! Tracked food; packed low-cal snacks; sandwich; went over calorie goals but did better than normal because we avoided fast food. I'll be able to weigh in tomorrow.
7/9 Sa - 144.0 - Two pounds down from last weigh-in on Thursday. Weighed on a different scale. Hoping it's not the scale.
7/10 Su - 143.2 - Long bike ride yesterday, logged food. Ate out for lunch & dinner; guessed calories. Happy with the results!
7/11 M - 142.6 - We were on the beach yesterday. I tracked my food. I went 400ish calories over my daily goal, but got in an open water swim. I was happily surprised with my weight this morning. It helped me to track food. It kept me from late night snacking last night. I'm trying to catch up on Stranger Things. I'm just now getting to season 3.
7/12 Tu - 144 - Tracked food past two days but did not plan it. I went over my calorie goal both days.
7/13 W - 143.6 - The last two days have been tough. I've been hungry all day both days. I didn't get my workout in yesterday. I didn't eat much for lunch, which made me want to snack. I'm adding more protein today, especially at breakfast.
7/14 Th - 145.6 - I worked long hours yesterday catching up. I hung in there with my calorie goal until after dinner, then had a beer and a half and late night snacks. UGH! I'm resolved do better today. I haven't exercised in the past 2 days, but planning to go on a bike ride after work today.
7/15 F - 144 - I planned my food and stuck to it yesterday and it paid off! The past 3 days were tough. I stayed hungry, I broke plan, I snacked late at night, I worked late and didn't get in the planned exercise for 3 days now. It rained me out after work last night. I got back on track yesterday, even though I didn't get in my exercise. I'm taking some time off today and planning a long bike ride.

Round 192 (round 3 for me) gain/loss = -2.6 Yay!
Lessons Learned
1) Plan meals and stick to plan, if possible
2) Don't let people, work and weather distract me from getting in some exercise
3) To avoid late night snacking, go to bed on time. No staying up late to binge-watch "Stranger Things"

7/06 - 180
Big rains here yesterday—7+ inches in some areas. Our lovely tulip tree, planted 3 years ago, is leaning on the fence. 😢 We have someone coming out to see if they can pull it up and stake it. I hope so! Other than that we have no damage, but lots of trees down, power outages, and flooding in the area. I did eat ice cream to sooth myself last night.

7/07 - 179.8
Good day yesterday, foodwise. And Rory passed his Advanced Canine Good Citizen test. Today’s the last day of doggy school until August, although we’ll still be meeting a couple of friends for tracking. It’s great exercise—lots of walking on uneven ground—and fun! I have lots of salad makings for lunch.

7/08 - 180.2
I just don’t get it. My calories the past few week+ have been well below maintenance, and a bit below my goal, and I’m getting plenty of exercise between dog training and gardening. So discouraging. I’m about ready to give up and just live with it. If it weren’t for my belly, I wouldn’t much care, to be honest. But jeez, why give up stuff if it makes no difference? Waaaa! (No hugs needed, I’m just venting again.)

7/09 - 178.4
Just when I was ready to throw in the towel! I’ve been over my food the past few days and have no idea what would make me hover and bounce up like I did. Oh, well. It’s a mystery sometimes. Have a beautiful Saturday!

7/10 - 179.2
Boing. This is water — my calories were fine but I had more sodium than usual. And at least it’s not back to the 80s! Have a lovely Sunday, everyone!

7/11 - 179
Not sure this is accurate—my scale is bonkers. I weighed myself 5 times and got 5 different weights. This is the average. I’ll change the batteries and see what it says tomorrow. In any case, I’m sticking to the plan, so all good! Happy Monday!

7/12 - 178.2
Yay! New batteries, consistent weights, and down a little. All good!

7/13 - 177.4
Whoa! Okay, something’s finally working. I still haven’t quite hit my macro goals per GenoPalate’s recommendations, but slowly I’m lowering fat and increasing complex carbs. Protein is good. And I’m feeling much more energetic and optimistic.

7/14 - 177.8
Staying on track.

7/15 - 177.8
Ok, a successful round! I did have some ice cream last night, but still kept my calories low. See you next round!

Goal for 2022-2023 Progress

@cybernurse251 congratulations. Always feels good to see the merit of our efforts.

@RockinRobyn672 don’t get discouraged, you are doing great. I love the brutal honesty with binge watching. The struggle is real. I made a rule for myself awhile ago that I can’t watch tv unless I’m exercising while doing so (with a few minor exceptions).

@SheilaBoneham that was more than just a successful round. Fabulous drop for 10 days! Showing up & saying who’s boss!! You got this.

@cpanus Chris, I keep forgetting to check on California fires but have noticed the smoky haze here in the Las Vegas valley. Take care of yourself, Friend. Sending prayers for everyone in California! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

End of Round 191: 153.9
Round 191 Results: -4.3 pounds

Day, Weight, Comment

7/6: 153.3 - it’s time to start thinking about eating in maintenance calories and upping my protein because I want to work on body recomposition. Maintenance calories scare me. Once I hit 151-152, I’ll be slowly upping my calories and watching what the scale does. Also, I’m excited to be back for my second round!
7/7: 154.1 - hormonal weight fluctuation… fun fun!
7/8: 152.9 - yesterday was a pretty good day and I’m happy with the results. I am on a roll with tracking! Maybe my best streak ever!
7/9: 152.8 - I’ll take it! I’m nervous about today because we have a dinner date and I want to enjoy it without going overboard, which is my tendency.
7/10: 153.2 - wow! This is great! I definitely ate way more than usual at the end of the night, and didn’t see a huge impact. It was very nice to feel way more in control of my eating last night since I was still tracking everything.
7/11: 152.5 - feeling great! I just changed my goal from losing 1 pound a week to losing half a pound a week, so I can start increasing calories as I work on maintenance.
7/12: 151.7 - I had no appetite yesterday, but I still made sure to get in some healthy calories and make sure I ate enough to fuel my body.
7/13: 151.7 - no change from yesterday!
7/14: 151.7 - is this maintenance??? Lol!!
7/15: 150.7 - total weight change in round 192 is -2.6 pounds! I’m very happy with that and excited for round 193!

07/13 ……197.0 ….. (Trend weight 200.8)


07/14 ……197.4 ….. (Trend weight 200.5) Scale (only 1 yr old) with new batteries (2 weeks ago but admittedly cheap ones) decided to go bonkers today. I must have weighed 18 times. If I lean forward enough I could weigh 195.X . If I move the scale to a whole different room, I could weigh 200.4 . Most of the weights were in the 197’s. That feels most right to me because I ate right up to my 1400 calories yesterday but my final food was at 2:00 am when I was starving and feeling weak. Luckily I had calories to spare. In case I decide on a new scale sometime soon, does anyone have a good recommendation?

07/15 ……198.2 ….. (Trend weight 200.3) Okay, what’s going on??? Scale did not seem wonky today. Is it the healing from Covid? Still testing with one solid line and one very faint line. Feeling so much better! I have been CONSISTENLY a perfect dieter (lately). Hitting macros perfectly. Staying under on calorie and carbs. Glucose has really improved over this past week of following the eating plan. I’ve even increased the exercise after feeling better (and not having handymen here all day). Last night I danced to 5 songs (23 minutes) last night! The only other thing I can think of is that I’ve been trying to do some fasting overnight/morning and it’s pushing my meals out much later than usual. Dinner has been really late the last few nights. I’ll try to readjust it all and see what happens. I am still a bit worried about my scale, it was crazy yesterday and I don’t think I got the same reading twice. However, today, it seemed back to normal. I will keep watching that too. Handymen will be back today, but I’ll still try to fit in some movement. I'll be wearing mask when there is any contact with them. My trend weight is still going down, I’ll take it! Great round for so so many. Congratulations to all for sticking with it!


Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Day/Weight/Steps/Active Minutes/Comment

7/06 - 169.1- 14,500/97
7/07 - 167.8 - 19,000/129. I now have a 25 year old son!! In a blink of an eye. We will celebrate on Sunday, goal to just have a small piece of cake!!
7/08 - 166.3*- 19,300/133.
7/09 - 166.3* - 15,200/85
7/10 - 165.8 - 42,600/278 … 23.77km walk+ shopping steps, did 2 walks. I should have went for my 50,000 step day but I wore the wrong shoes. Did half my walk out of town on the waterfront was a beautiful day. Then some shopping and enjoyed 2 great coffees, just a day by myself. Tonight is my son’s birthday dinner will splurge a little, maybe a glass of wine, so I’d better get my walk in. Walk Forrest Walk!
7/11 - 165.3 - 25,800/176 ... Got in a good walk, took in some sunshine at my parents, then went out for dinner for my son's birthday. Great evening!! Probably ate at maintenance or higher. Had a small glass of wine an appy plus dessert. Ate light for breakfast and lunch but did try to do some cardio to balance everything out.
7/12 - 164.8 - 20,200/140. My walks were warm, slower pace than usual and this morning I probably am a little dehydrated. Also calories on the lower side of my goal as it was too hot to cook/eat.
7/13 - 164.3* - 19,900/135. Late evening walk, slower pace, still warm. Made chili lime salmon in airfryer and it turned out amazing. Was a Skinnytaste recipe, I like her recipes.
7/14 - 163.5 - 23,000/155. It's pretty dry in my bedroom think I have lost extra water during the night. My top is a lot tighter in the afternoon lol. Good nights sleep though.

7/15 - 163.2 - 14,900/97. No power walk in the evening, just a stroll around town before a pedicure! This is a new low for me (yay) down 49 lbs since the end of January. Although it looks like I lost over 9 lbs this round a lot of it is water fluctuation from TOM, sodium and unusual carbie things. Although I am not low carb, I do avoid breads, bakery items, etc most of the time as I bloat. When SO is home these always go up and he's been away for 2 weeks. Hope to see everyone in the next round!!

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.

People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for almost 5 years with amazing results!

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

**Comments apply to previous day**

SW RND 192 121.0 AW 120.05
7/6 120.0 GKI 7.8
7/7 120.5 GKI 12.3 Dinner was later than usual but under all macros, etc. 🤷‍♀️DH is set for shoulder replacement on 9/6, DD#1 wants to be here. I asked her to wait a couple of weeks until he may be feeling better. She is an RN and very intense. (Read that added stress!!!)
7/8 120.0 GKI 8.5 Going to Texas Roadhouse with friends today.🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
7/9 120.5 GKI 14.3 TR was reasonable but ate popcorn last night. Not surprised at all. My LCHF/keto-versary is 8 days away. Time to crack down and quit making excuses. No more “occasions” - NO EXCUSES!
7/10 121.5 GKI 12.6 Double my average step count over the last 4 weeks, eating was okay. Meeting was changed from 1 to 3 but had planned to leave early (for late lunch) and couldn’t. I hate that the current president of the guild makes these last minute decisions!
7/11 120.0 GKI 13.3 Great Greek, of course! After DD#2 gave us haircuts and we got to spend a couple of hours holding 15 day old DGGS.
7/12 120.0 GKI 6.2 97* at 8:45AM going to 115 degrees today! I got a new iPad so hope to be able to start using that to read and post.
7/13 119.5 GKI 5.7 Haven’t figured out how to get stuff transferred to the iPad yet.
7/14 119.0 GKI 7.5 I have not been sleeping well but went to bed early last night and right to sleep! Woke up when I dreamt the doorbell rang at 6:09! Almost 8.5 hours!

***Edit-DH said I need to get some exercise to improve my sleep so I pulled out the Wii and replaced all batteries yesterday and did a 10 minute “run.” It’s a start. I have to find the nunchuck so I can do the boxing.
7/15 119.5 GKI 12.1 My round has had ups and downs but that IS life.

7/15: 224.5! This is a big deal to me not only because I came in below goal but I have now lost 10% of my body weight! This was my first mini goal to hit and I am rewarding myself with a trip to Borders books!

Total lost this round: 4.5 lb
