🙂Round 196🙂

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.

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE👍👍

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!

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)

August and then Labor Day weekend are challenging for me since almost every single weekend is packed full with either friends/family visiting or us traveling to see friends/family (MIL's 93rd birthday in NC and camping in MD with friends/family). Yesterday was a great day at a local navel museum with our friends and then stopping by a favorite brewery for pizza and beer (I only had 1). My weight is up around 3 pounds since early August. All good though. I'm tracking/planning meals where possible. There's been a lot of activity and also quite a bit of eating out. Next weekend we're heading to NC for MIL's birthday. Two weekends down and three to go!

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.

I'm back here after a couple of years of being really sedentary thanks to going back to get an advanced degree (great for the mind, terrible for the body), and just saw this... just in time, it looks like!

QUICK QUESTION for those who have done this before: do you weigh in the morning or at the end of the day? If the morning, how do you comment about that day? TIA!

@infinicca Welcome! I weigh first thing in the morning, after using the toilet, before showering, dressing or eating. I do this because it’s when I weigh the least. I don’t think it matters when you weigh, it is your preference as long as you weigh at the same time every day (or however often you choose to weigh) and with the same variables. I then put my weight in for the day and make a comment about the day before if I feel like it. I think some people weigh in the morning and log when they can, it all depends how your day goes! Some people track exercise and water intake, some people just put their weight. Some people skip days. Whatever works!

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!

Previous days

8/15 Did not weigh. We played soccer for the first time last night in 2.5 years with our family/friends that we used to play with every Sunday night pre-pandemic. So, it was really fun to see everyone again! Went to the gym this morning and pushed through leg day. Food was relatively decent today as well. This weekend had takeout but I don’t think I went crazy. Overall, it’s been a solid few days. The builders stopped by tonight and the plan is to hopefully start construction in a month or so!

Day/Weight/Comment: Reflections on previous day

8/15 - 159.5 (+1.4) - Sorry I skipped last round all. You were missed. Tried to peek in on all of you a few times. Between medical stuff and an intense workload I couldn’t keep up. I’m back and okay with the gains (aside from discomfort - TMI). Certain at minimum I’ve maintained.

8/15 – 132.6 I was sick for a day so this low point will probably bounce back up.

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.

@infinicca , I use the same routine as @joans1976

pezhed

@infinicca I also weigh in the morning after I pee and before I eat anything. I generally just put today’s weight, comment about yesterday and about the day ahead. Some people comment only about the day before. It’s really up to you!
