Round 197
August 25 - September 3, 2022

Please join us starting on 8/25 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 197!

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👍👍

ROUND 188-SW 179.2, ROUND 189-SW 180.2, ROUND 190-SW ?, ROUND 191-SW 174.4,

ROUND 193-SW 179.6, ROUND 194-SW 179.2, ROUND 195-SW 172.4, ROUND 196-SW 171.8

8/15: 171.8 I've seen this number so frequently, i shouldn't be surprised (and i'm not).

8/16: 172.2 not sure if this is from not drinking enough yesterday, or if it's because i've already eaten scrambled eggs and tomatoes

8/17: 172.2, 171.4, 171.2 take your pick. these are the options my scale gave me all within 1/2 hours time with no variable. do the spring scales do the same thing? ...back on topic....ate a maintain amount of calories yesterday, but it was high in carbs (ramen noodles). i did get to finally go for my walk! not as epic as the exclamation point implies. it was just a mile, but weight loss rate.

8/18: 171.2 good calories, good macros, and a good 2 mile walk

8/19: 171

8/20: 170.4 since i usually weigh myself before i eat, and i have already eaten today this weight is probably just more nonsense my scale is spitting out.

8/21: 171 over calories yesterday even with getting my walk in. seems like i do this at least once every challenge and always promise to correct myself.

8/22: 171.2 very disappointed with how i'm doing this round. reading my notes back, i should have been expecting such a poor result.

8/23: 172 i'm fine with this weight. i'm probably the same weight as yesterday. i usually weigh myself wearing my exercise (running shorts/shirt) clothes. today i'm wearing a t-shirt and and sweats which i'm sure weigh more. this will be my last post for this round. i will be taking off for almost a week. i'll be posting this in the new challenge, so i can find it easily upon my return. sure hope i can behave myself without having a scale to weigh food, or a scale to weigh myself.

Leaving tomorrow for a wedding out of town, so I don't expect to see a ton of progress this round. I'll have some time to recover after I get back, though, so we'll see!

My non-scale goals continue to be fasting for 16+ hours most days (all days after I get back to town on 8/28), work out 6/10 days, track for 7/10 days. That's going to be tough since I'm staying with a friend and eating meals at various events for the next few days!

SW RND 195: 117.5 AW 119.2

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.

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.

Hi folks, I am brand new to this challenge but I am excited to get started! 36 year old female, 5'4".

I previously lost 30 lbs and am now back with 70 to lose (ugh!). This is my first week, so I expect to drop a lot of water weight right away this round, which explains my aggressive round gw.

non-scale goals: track food daily, work out 4-5x weekly.

I've used MFP for years, off and on. When I first used it, I lost a ton of weight. Now I'm at least 15 years older and a lot heavier. I'm 47 y/0 female, 5'6".

I'm going to be out of town on holiday the last day of this round, so I thought I'd start one day early

SW: 189.2
Round Goal Weight - 187.0
Non-scale goals - keep up with water intake; track food; work-out 4-5 times a week.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/24 189.0 - been drinking a lot more water than I usually do on recommendation due to the increased protein intake.

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!
