Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 198
Replies
-
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

Day/Weight/Comment
9/4: 186.0 - a pleasant surprise. Did not count calories yesterday as I had a game and usually nutrition-wise I am usually a little more lenient as I tend to consume a lot in preparation for a high-intensity match with large cal burns. Last night was also a night of drinking which may turn out to be my vice when it comes to healthy living. A lot less motivated today to do anything such as meal prep on my day off.
9/5: 188.0 - yikes. hoping this is just a fluke. Off from exercise all week due to an injury so the deficit is especially important.
9/6: 185.8 - first pumpkin spiced latte of the season yesterday and omg... it was so good

09/04 -197.8- (Trend weight 199.4)
09/05 -197.0- (Trend weight 199.2) A good day yesterday except movement was very low level. I was just so exhausted after the wedding. I needed a day of nothingness. Most of the time I keep my home a “safe zone” with the right foods. It’s portion control I have to watch out for. I have been known to binge on “diet food”. The wrong foods are the ones at the restaurants. I don’t do much of that in my city, just when I travel and then, Oh boy, the choices!!!!! I am proud to say I kept it under control (for the most part) at the wedding. That is tough for me to do. I love food that I didn’t have to cook. And I love new recipes.
09/06 -196.8- (Trend weight 198.9) I just took a quick peek at my spoiler and I noticed that from (basically) the start of last fall 2021 to the end of the Michigan winter in 2022, I gained 12 pounds! I CANNOT let that happen again! In fact, I am STILL NOT BACK DOWN to where I was on Sept 19 which was 187.6 . 10 more pounds to lose just to break even. How sad. On a good note, I am starting to feel my hip bones poking out. They are still in there!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/4: 134.9 - Holding steady. Finally finished most of the leftovers from our dinner party on Tuesday. Finally seeing some daylight in the refrigerator and freezer. Got my workout in, but spent most of the day doing sourdough-related prep (2 Tartine Country Loaves, 2 cranberry-walnut loaves, 2 ciabatta loaves, 4 balls of pizza dough). Most of those will go home with my daughter and her boyfriend or into the freezer.
9/5: 133.4 - Yesterday was a bit of an odd day. Lots of baking (in the heat) and then daughter requested a spring roll salad that I had made before and a blueberry pie since she had 7 pounds of blueberries she was bringing from Washington. Added those two things (plus the ice cream to go on top of the pie) to my diary and realized that almost all my calories for the day were going to into that one meal. Decided the high-octane calories from the Trader Joe’s Vanilla ice cream wasn’t worth it and went and got a “light” version. Also decided that probably should do an OMAD day and it worked out pretty well. This is why it is important to track and pre-track.
9/6: 132.4 - Got my jazzercise in very early in the day while we could still have the window’s open. Temperatures hit 108F in our area, which is waaaaay above normal for us. Luckily we have air conditioning and I succumbed to turn it on around 4pm. We have 4 more scorching days forecasted, so unfortunately the AC will be on more than it has ever been (we at most turn it on once or twice a summer). Tried to keep all this in mind with my eating and had a heavier salad for lunch (leftover spring roll salad with peanut sauce) and a light salad for dinner. Pre-planned for the the leftover blueberry pie and ice cream so stayed under calories.

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 198 ( my 130th). Thanks again @QuiltingJaine.
Goal this round again is to lose. We go on holiday in a week's time, so from 12th onwards it is doubtful I will be able to weigh (not lugging the scales on the 'plane!!), but I still intend logging as best I can and keeping up with the posts. 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.

9/3 138.2 – hoping this is sodium from last night's grilled gammon, with hindsight not the best choice for the penultimate meal, but saw a tin of pineapple in juice in the cupboard and really fancied gammon & pineapple !! Which makes me 0.2 pound up this round, could have been worse, but could have been better. 9.86 miles walked and all but 1 exercise calorie eaten back !!

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

73 years old (5'2")- My weight is all on my waistline (33”). I write stories: therefore my lifestyle is pretty much a "Couch Potato", Although, I do have an exercise room and use the treadmill when the clothes are not hanging off the handlebar. Basically, I need motivation. I am not a fan of sugary food but I do crave salty foods. I like a glass (or two) of wine for dinner but I have added ice to a 5oz glass and noticed I am drinking less. I mainly eat at home as my hubby is a great cook and I have never liked fast food. Thanks for this motivation !!!
SW: 130.6
GW: (Dec 17, 2022- 119)
Day/Weight/Comment
9/4: 130.6 (AM: took clothes off treadmill-started drinking 8 glasses of water) PM walked on the treadmill watching a 1.5-hour movie and finished 8th glass of water. Company for dinner-too much food (kept at 5% glass of wine)
9/5 -130.6 (AM: clearly my scale does not understand the concept of counting backward to encourage the dieter). PM: Normally, I would not eat either breakfast (except for a cup of coffee) or Lunch. Today I added a Banana & oatmeal to my coffee and a hard-boiled egg for lunch. Still have Hummus and carrots or Edamame for snack-but have knocked off chips and crackers. I watched another movie while on the treadmill-now if only I could figure out how to walk on it and type on my computer at the same time. (½ Cornish hen, 5oz glass white wine, ½ cup baked bean, and ½ cup coleslaw for dinner)
9/6-131.6 AM: I absolutely HATE my scale!!! I decided, after kicking it across the room, that I would name it “Damn it” Hopefully that has scared it enough to produce better results tomorrow. PM: This afternoon I walked around the Mall, with my daughter, looking for clothes for my upcoming trip to Key West. The outing reminded me why I want to lose weight. However, since when did the Mall decide to only cater to young women size 0 who love to expose their stomachs? Consumed 1200 calories today. It makes no sense for me to be gaining weight; so I am beginning to wonder if the medication I started on the 4th for sleep is sabotaging my weight loss. I will skip it tonight. (Looking for any excuse)
***I am guessing I am really "messing up" on how to edit and post new daily entries here. I must be “Myfitnesspal’ illiterate. I find it hard to believe I have to copy and paste each new entry.

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 198 ( my 130th). Thanks again @QuiltingJaine.
Goal this round again is to lose. We go on holiday in a week's time, so from 12th onwards it is doubtful I will be able to weigh (not lugging the scales on the 'plane!!), but I still intend logging as best I can and keeping up with the posts. 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
9/4 137.4 – yes, sodium flushed through! 14.11 miles walked, 2/3 exercise calories eaten back.
9/5 137.4 - 10.66 miles walked, 60% exercise calories eaten back.
9/6 137.4 – 11.39 miles walked, less than 20% exercise calories eaten back.
9/7 137.4 – 5.02 miles squeezed in yesterday before hair appt, quick coffee with a friend I'd not seen since before xmas due to her health problems & then birthday lunch for DS, hence 355 calories over. I did have to gauge calories of lunch, think I chose well; teriyaki salmon with rice, think I over guessed. Feeling & looking better in the mirror, obviously the scale doesn't agree!

9/07 - 155.0 - Scale teased me this morning by flashing 154.9 a few times before settling on this. Food was wonderful, I managed to keep it balanced pretty well. Under goal by 100 calories and didn't eat back the "300" calories I supposedly burned extra. I don't think I actually burn that much extra in a day so I'm just aiming for goal calories anyway. 96oz water down the hatch yesterday so back into that groove of things. Challenge to get up again this morning and hit my 15 min snooze. I used up almost all that snooze time, too, when I usually only use about 5 minutes of it before I manage to get up. Oof. A week of sleeping in really undid some of my routine. Yesterday's rowing was only 10 minutes, not the 20 I thought I'd do. It was a challenge and I took it easy on myself as my first row after recovering from a nasty cold. Today I have a 30 minute full workout queued up. The workout itself is 20 minutes, but it includes a row-focused warmup and cooldown so I'm still getting in extra reps to get back into the swing of things with morning workouts. If I can manage to convince my sleepy brain, I'm going to try to wake up early for a workout Friday just to really solidify the routine back in my life. Alright, I've procrastinated long enough, time to get some work in.

9/06 - Long weekend. We did end up feeling well enough to help Fam with some house remodel work (demolition stuff). Because of all the sweat and muscle soreness, I didn't bother to weigh in. Unfortunately FamHubs ended up going home early yesterday and later had a fever. FamWife had that Saturday so we are thinking she gave it to him just by proximity, similar to BF giving it to me. Spent the rest of the evening at home relaxing and drinking plenty of water. I was off yesterday for holiday and it's my Friday off this week so only 3 days requiring me to be up early. I'm going to see how I feel come Friday whether I want to go ahead and wake up for a workout. Today will be an easy 20 minute recovery row to gauge how I feel after a week of no workouts and to ease back into movement. Back to logging and plenty of water! And plenty of catching up on posts to do, as well!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/4-133.8. Not surprised to see a gain. We had sushi and dim sum takeout last night for our anniversary. I did go overboard but most of the gain is probably attributable to salt and TOM’s unexpected arrival. I’ll get back in the saddle today.
9/5 - 130.2 Phew, glad to see the water loss today even though I was confident I couldn’t have done that much damage in a day. DH and I are still testing positive for covid on Day 8. The kids aren’t but we just presumed they were positive anyway. They still have symptoms, so deciding whether or not they can go back to daycare is tough. Selfishly, I would rather send them, but if I were a parent of another child in the daycare I would want them to stay home until the sniffles are gone. Ah the mental gymnastics required by parenting through a pandemic I would rather not have experienced. Ugh. Anyway I just finished up a good Peloton ride and am going to try to relax with the family for the rest of the day. Have a good holiday, to whom it applies!
9/6 - 130.2. I am determined to see the 120s this week! Turns out the kids aren’t even allowed at daycare until 10 days after symptoms onset, so my littlest is home until at least Thursday and the 3 year old is home for the rest of the week. Also my husband and I are not allowed in the building until we test negative, so I’m not sure how that would work anyway. Covid sucks.
9/7 - 130.2 AGAIN. Ah well, it'll catch up with me I'm sure. I made a really salty stir fry last night. I ended up going for a jog last night after my youngest's bedtime because I was grumpy and didn't get a chance to work out yesterday between work and childcare. I'm hoping we can find more balance, or at least more zen, today as we try to manage this.

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.

Jeez, I’m 40 pounds heavier than I was 4 years ago and just can’t seem to get a grip on myself. I obviously need a new approach. I know what I need to know about nutrition. I don’t know why I’m sabotaging myself. Sigh.
9/05 - 179.8
Yikes. But I know why.
9/06 - 178.8
Whew. Back on track.

Ok, the gain is coming back off. I’m managing my macros, aiming for lower fat/higher protein and complex carbs than I’ve been eating over the summer. I’m trying to get to the levels recommended by GenoPalate, based on my DNA, to see if it really does make a difference. Also trying very hard to keep my calories considerably lower for a while. Basically, I need to stop kidding myself.

09/05 -197.0- (Trend weight 199.2)
09/06 -196.8- (Trend weight 198.9) I just took a quick peek at my spoiler and I noticed that from (basically) the start of last fall 2021 to the end of the Michigan winter in 2022, I gained 12 pounds! I CANNOT let that happen again! In fact, I am STILL NOT BACK DOWN to where I was on Sept 19 which was 187.6 . 10 more pounds to lose just to break even. How sad. On a good note, I am starting to feel my hip bones poking out. They are still in there!
09/07 -196.2- (Trend weight 198.7) I almost caved in last night when I started to experience hunger. Then I realized it was not so much hunger as it was boredom. I drank some water and hopped on that new exercise bike and (carefully since I’m not approved yet for exercise), pedaled a bit without letting my heart rate get up very high. Wow, the new bike is really quiet! I can hear the TV! Travel today to eye doctor for son & I. Dinner will be out. I like the way my weight is going down and I can report it in pink or black more consistently. I won’t ruin that today at the restaurant. Friday I go back to see the surgeon which is a longer trip. I may take my friend, her son and my son and make a day of it. Probably a whole new restaurant experience in a new city. THAT is the day I have to be strong. I think I’ll be okay today.

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.

9/4 120.5 I got together with my “old” gal pals yesterday. Charcuterie board, “Buffalo” nuts and toffee nuts as well as a couple of adult beverages. I had “made” the nuts and discovered that a lot of the Buffalo seasoning was in the box so was ate some of that after I got home and drank lots of water. Perhaps I have retained some H2O but still no TMI. Maybe the excess water will help. 🤷♀️🤷♀️ Not concerned
9/5 120.5 Great Greek yesterday and left overs today. DH surgery tomorrow. Still no TMI - stress related? Finally TMI long after weighing.
9/6 120.0 Leaving in 30 minutes to take DH for shoulder replacement.
9/7 120.5 Surgery went well. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Now to survive the recovery! heehee **Headache, upset stomach and much TMI - sure this is stress related4 -

Day/Weight/Comment
9/4: 134.9 - Holding steady. Finally finished most of the leftovers from our dinner party on Tuesday. Finally seeing some daylight in the refrigerator and freezer. Got my workout in, but spent most of the day doing sourdough-related prep (2 Tartine Country Loaves, 2 cranberry-walnut loaves, 2 ciabatta loaves, 4 balls of pizza dough). Most of those will go home with my daughter and her boyfriend or into the freezer.
9/5: 133.4 - Yesterday was a bit of an odd day. Lots of baking (in the heat) and then daughter requested a spring roll salad that I had made before and a blueberry pie since she had 7 pounds of blueberries she was bringing from Washington. Added those two things (plus the ice cream to go on top of the pie) to my diary and realized that almost all my calories for the day were going to into that one meal. Decided the high-octane calories from the Trader Joe’s Vanilla ice cream wasn’t worth it and went and got a “light” version. Also decided that probably should do an OMAD day and it worked out pretty well. This is why it is important to track and pre-track.
9/6: 132.4 - Got my jazzercise in very early in the day while we could still have the window’s open. Temperatures hit 108F in our area, which is waaaaay above normal for us. Luckily we have air conditioning and I succumbed to turn it on around 4pm. We have 4 more scorching days forecasted, so unfortunately the AC will be on more than it has ever been (we at most turn it on once or twice a summer). Tried to keep all this in mind with my eating and had a heavier salad for lunch (leftover spring roll salad with peanut sauce) and a light salad for dinner. Pre-planned for the the leftover blueberry pie and ice cream so stayed under calories.
9/7: 131.4 - After having tracked for just over a year now, sometimes I still don’t understand how this all works. Could it be this excessive heat we’re having that is sapping up all the water weight? I feel like I’m hydrating enough, but who knows. I guess we’ll see when (hopefully) this heat wave breaks in a couple of days.

September 4 - 13, 2022
Please join us starting on 9/4 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 198!
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.
