Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 196

baileeb2001

I have done this challenge before and it really helped keep me on track to healthy living. I have since gained most of that weight back (and then some) but I'm not discouraged. I am a 21-year old varsity college athlete who is just looking to lean up a bit - taking small goals at a time as weight-loss isn't my goal - just trying to lean myself into a healthier lifestyle.

Round 146: -5.1lbs
Round 147: -0.3lbs
Round 148: -3.5lbs
Round 149: +1.6lbs
Round 195: +16.6lbs

SW: 181.1lbs
HW: 196.6
CW: 190.6
GW: 175.0

Day/Weight/Comment
8/15: 193.0 - this past weekend was horrid but luckily this is my last week back home before I move back up to school for training camp and my Crossfit gym. Between the two of those I'm pretty sure I'll struggle eating enough rather than the other way around as practice and Crossfit are calorie scorcher. Looking forward to it though and today I'm going hiking so that's a plus!
8/16: 187.4 - great hike and cal deficit yesterday so hoping this isn't a fluke
8/17: 188.0
8/18: 188.0 - binged a bit last night so happy to see no change today
8/19: 188.8 - no exercise yesterday but big deficit. Big move and changes happening this weekend.
8/20: 190.0
8/21: 188.8 - moving today and back to the crossfit gym
8/22: DNW - scale was out of batteries and it was an incredibly busy day so couldn't be bothered to change 'em
8/23: DNW
8/24: 189.0 - thought this would be lower but we'll take the little victories. Eating and exercise everyday since I've moved

Trend Weight: 189.1lb
Net Loss/Gain: -1.5lb

Day/Weight/Comment
8/15: 132.1 - Had a busy day yesterday - my Jazzercise workout was interrupted half-way through by a phone call so ended up doing a another whole workout on demand. Then I rode my bicycle for the first time in a long time downtown to check out Art in the Park with DH, but I don’t think I earned enough calories to counteract the 350 calorie cup of very delicious ice cream with that ride. C’est la vie. Stayed under calories overall.
8/16: 132.5 - Got my Jazzercise workout in before the heat, but didn’t go out for my walk. Was also trying to do some meal prep earlier in the day, but ended up still having to turn on the oven late in the afternoon - ugh. We have a tile and grout person coming today to re-do some of our grout, which means I can’t use a large part of our kitchen, laundry room and one of our bathrooms for 24 hours.
8/17: 132.3 - Actually went to Jazzercise in person for the first time in awhile. I usually either do it live virtually or on demand, and it was a lot of fun to see some familiar faces. The rest of the day was low-key since we had someone in to do the grout for a large part of the day. Super hot day yesterday so most of it was spent trying to stay cool/hydrated.
8/18: 132.3 -Normal workout plus a couple of games of pickle ball (one word or two?). This is my second time playing and my streak is in tact - I’ve lost every single game that I’ve played! :-). It was a fun little gathering on my friend’s driveway that she conveniently has enough room to put down the court lines. Quick dinner and then transitioned to hosting my neighborhood ladies that I crochet with. We are all complete novices and are watching youtube to learn how to make a sunflower square sweater. We’ve all concluded that if we actually get to enough squares to make a sweater, they will be the world’s most expensive ugly sweater.
8/19: 133.8 - Mini-binge and drinking wine two nights in a row are not helping my maintenance effort.
8/20: 133.6 -
8/21: 133.4 - Hmm forgot to post yesterday, but I did record my weight. Lots of baking yesterday meant that I did’t have time to get a real walk in, but did do my Jazzercise workout first thing.
8/22: 133.6 - Pizza dinner at a local park for the group we volunteer for. Pre-logged, so did okay there. Walked there and back, although it wasn’t all that far.
8/23: 134.7 - Yikes - not a good way to end the round. Did not get any workouts in yesterday because of timing issues, but if I really, really wanted to get it done I could have figured out a way. Very high sodium eating as well. Of course now I’m at the tippy top of my maintenance range…
8/24: 133.6 - Better than yesterday. Hopefully the trend continues. Got two workouts in and ate well.

Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: + 0.9 pounds

8/15 - 170.4 - 7,500/15 Weighed in after shower wet hair. Last week was a busy not a lot of walking week. SO has headed back to work for a few days so I can get back at it. Hoping for some good water loss as I am a little bloated.
8/16 - 166.2 - 23,300/164. Nice to see that drop, water weight as expected. Dinner out tonight will see what results bring in the morning, plus I'll have no time for a long weekend walk!! Looks like SO is away until the weekend, I'll get some evening walks in.
8/17 - 165.1 - 19.600/137. Dinner out with my boys girlfriends, just us as all the boys are working my SO out of town and my sons working nights. Taco salad and cheesecake and still a loss!!

8/19 - 162.7 - 27,700/201. Busy weekend ahead. Won't get much walking in but I may be able to squeeze in some small ones. SO arrived home and is here for a few days, Hooray! We have a family get together and it's nice he can attend. Dentist for me today ugghh ... Happy Friday
8/20 - 162.2 - 17,600/107. Worked a couple of hours, went to the dentist. Then SO took me on a hike. Lots of elevation and it was warm out. He didn’t have the best time. I bribed him with ice cream (sorry dentist!) I had a great day. Family thing tonight with lots of food and drink, see where the numbers fall in the morning.
8/21 - 164.5 - 21,700/120 BBQ last night super fun and got up did a 12K walk.
8/22 - 166.1 - 9,864/45. Lazy day numbers creeping up from BBQ. A little bloated, feeling squishy lol. SO left for work this morning, possible he will be home for the weekend but you never know. Weather is forecasted for hot hot hot means for a later walk, hopefully!
8/23 - 164.7 - 20,200/145. Work and a good walk. Greek salad for dinner with veg from my Dad's garden. Thanks Dad!!

8/24 - 163.2 - 20,500/143. Dropping vacation lbs. Looking forward to seeing some 5's again.

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 196 ( my 128th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.

Goal this round again is to lose. We go on holiday in 4 weeks! 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.

SW: 139.4
Day/Weight/Comment
8/15 139.4 – 7.98 miles walked yesterday & it was HOT !!!! Maybe in hindsight we shouldn't have gone during the middle of the day, but we kept hydrated. 2/3 exercise calories eaten back, need to get back to not eating many back!!
8/16 138.8 – 11.87 miles walked yesterday, 10 degrees cooler than yesterday! We so much need some rain, the gardens are desperate!! I have been watering with a watering can out of the rain butt, I drained the last dregs out of that last night!! It keeps being forecast, but I've been able to count the odd few spots that have fell !!! ¾ exercise calories eaten back.
8/17 137.8 – 8..63 miles walked, certainly not as hot, much more bearable, in fact a very pleasant temperature ! And lots of rain for the gardens. A third of calories eaten back; that's better and it shows on the scales.
8/18 138.2 - 11.8 miles walked, 5/8 exercise calories eaten back.
8/19 137.6 – no structured walking; childcare for 2 little DGS & 1.5 hour each way commute, but it's worth it to spend precious time with them.
8/20 DNW - away for the weekend in our caravan & forgot to pack the scales ?. No structured walking cuz we had some work done in the house & then a 2 hour journey. 169 calories over.
8/21 DNW - 8.74 miles walked. 146 calories over; cider at lunchtime & gin with tea! Little DGS#1 had sleep over with us in the caravan, after he fell out of bed during the night I slept very slightly listening out in case he did it again!! Taking him home later today and then we travel back home too.
8/22 136.4 – happy with that figure after not weighing for a couple of days. No structured walking for reasons above, hence 240 calories over.

8/23 137.2 – had a bad day yesterday, least said & move on! 8.66 miles walked.
8/24 138 – 6.01 miles walked. Could have been better on the food front, but I'll take the 1.2 pound loss & move on to the new challenge!!



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!

August 15 - August 24, 2022

Please join us starting on 8/15 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 196!

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.

8-16= 145.6
8-17= 145.4
8-18= 146 not sure why I am still up, haven't been overdoing it too much, wonder if it is the sweet corn we have been having?

8-20= 145.4
8-21= 145.6
8-22= 145.2 Not surprising, not sticking to calorie goal

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!
