Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 199

wakegrrl

Hi, I’m Kathy.
58, F, 5’8”
Back for my 20th round after missing a few!

Return to MFP SW (Dec 2021): 267
HSW: 265
RSW: 217.0
UGW for now: 195, then reevaluate

Goal for this round: less than I started with
2022 goals: move more (okay, move some), eat mindfully

Day/Weight/Comment

9/14 217.0 Hi everyone! I’m so glad to be back – I missed y’all. The last two months have been incredibly stressful and busy both at work and at home, and something had to give…unfortunately it ended up being these daily check-ins. But I did stay on plan most of the time, and I’m proud of that. Meals for today are planned and logged, and I’ll work out before handbell rehearsal tonight.
9/15 215.8 Surprising drop considering I barely slept last night, but I’ll take it. We are going on a Mediterranean cruise in late October for our 30th anniversary and I’m aiming for 210 by then. Don’t know if I’ll make it or not, but I’m going to give it my best shot. Meals for today are planned and logged, and I’m going to move my workout to lunchtime in hopes it gives me energy to get through the afternoon. ‘Cause I’m kinda dragging, not gonna lie.
9/16 216.8 Unsurprising. Had a couple of drinks at happy hour with a friend last night and ate dinner really late. Plus I skipped yesterday’s workout. Happy Friday!
9/17 DNW
9/18 217.2
9/19 217.4 It wasn’t a good weekend. Got one workout in but that’s about the only good I have to say for it. I didn’t make positive choices and it caught up with me. Back on track, though. Catching up on posts from the weekend and drinking my water.
9/20 216.4 Better day yesterday foodwise, not necessarily activity-wise. Meals for today are planned and logged. DH has been out of town and comes home this afternoon, so we’re having fish to welcome him home!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/14: 131.4 - Normal workouts and packed most of my calories at the end of the day (not intentional). Stayed up reading way too late, so not that much sleep. I was supposed to get my Covid booster shot today, but the pharmacy cancelled saying they hadn’t received any doses yet. Trying to get it done in time before we travel in October.
9/15: 132.1 - Ended up getting my booster shot when my husband went in for his shot. They were nice enough to squeeze me in. He must not have any side-effects since I hear him exercising right now. I, on the other hand, am doing my best impression of a slug.
9/16: 132.1 - Was down and out all day yesterday with a slight fever and aches so didn’t get any exercise in. Wasn’t all that hungry either until evening. Feeling much better today.
9/17: 131.8 - Another skipped day of working out. I can’t remember the last time I didn’t do any workouts 2 days in a row. Back at it though this morning.
9/18: 131.8 - Back on track again. Got my workouts in, good eating and pretty good sleep. My goal is to keep this up the rest of the round before we head off backpacking when things won’t be as routine.
9/19: 131.4 - Only did Jazzercise in the morning but did not get my walk in since it was raining off and on here. Eating choices were limited since we were in desperate need of a trip to the grocery store. I don’t usually like to go on the weekends to avoid the crowds, but we didn’t have a single thing green left in the refrigerator other than herbs. Luckily, unbeknownst to me, the local NFL football team was playing at the same time I went to Trader Joe’s, so it wasn’t too crowded. :-)
9/20: 131.0 - Can’t really explain the drop. Eating at the very top of the calorie range, normal workouts and poor sleep.
9/21: -
9/22: -
9/23: -

Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: - 1.3 pounds

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 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.

9/14 / 171.4
9/15 / 170.4 / Had a good day exploring Sidney yesterday with family and new friends. Today we are going over to my husband's cousin's house for french toast and then we are going to Butchart Gardens.
9/16 / 170.8 / We are on our way East slowly making our way back home by Sunday, but first we stop in Penticton, BC for two nights. On the road now after a fun day that started with high tea, a bus tour around Victoria, and then the ferry ride back to the mainland.
9/17 / 172.4 / Off to bike to wineries today. Not as warm as I'd like, but that might be a great thing when we get working up a sweat on the bike!
9/18 / 174.4 / Driving home today and back to work tomorrow. This vacation has felt amazingly long and I am so thankful. My husband and I made many beautiful memories with family and with each other.
9/19 / 173.6 / Hoping this means yesterday was the peak of my gain from vacation. Time to get back on track. Today was back to work and I made out okay. Got a walk in at work and a short one again after. Food is on track and I'll get on the Peloton after the Bills game.
9/20 / 172.6 / Got Peloton ride #2 of the week in the books tonight.. it was a tough one but I did it! My husband gets back from his business trip tomorrow and I can't wait!

9/14 - 199.2 - stayed in plank position for a full minute❤️
9/15 - 198 - Busy day, hit 60% of my step goals ❤️
9/16 - 198 - no change, did pretty good, but the two cookies put me over lol. They were totally worth it, because I know a little treat here and there will keep me on track. Happy Friday 🥰
9/17 197 - busy day, spent most of it painting
9/18- 196.8 - so sore today, but here’s to another week down
9/19 - 197.4 weekend catching up with me
9/20 - 197 Good day, I need to find a more level place to way myself. The scale seems to be fluctuating more than normal. It’s kind of frustrating, because I have only gone over my calorie goal one in a two week period. I know I shouldn’t weigh myself at night, but there is no way my scale should fluctuate 5 lbs in one day. Have a great night.

]64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 199( my 131st). Thanks again @QuiltingJaine.

The whole of this round I am away abroad on holiday; no scales. I am trying to choose food wisely, portion control & restrict adult beverages to no more than 2 or 3 per day in an effort to refrain from too much of a gain 🤞.

I got care free in maintenance and the scale went up one lb at a time. Now I’m turning it around one lb at a time.

2016- 245lbs
2019- 142lbs

9/18- 181.8
9/19- 181.4
9/20- 181.4
9/21- 181.6 This was self sabotage! I ate under calories, active day and a good workout. GOT OUT OF BED and ate Halloween candy in the middle of the night. I felt powerless over the voice in my head to do this. Wowza.
I wasn’t overly restrictive yesterday so I think this was some stress/anxiety acting up. I am going to spend today crossing some things off of my to-do list. Maybe this will help deactivate the voice.
I’m still going to trust this process and treat myself with kindness.

LB10001

I’d like to join you all for this round. During a visit to my GP yesterday (for something else entirely) she pointed out that I’m a bit heavier than I should be for my height. Of course I already knew this, but I’ve been lacking the willpower to do something about it. It surely can’t be a coincidence that this challenge is starting on the very day I’m looking for some extra motivation 😊

9/14 170.8 lbs

9/15 169.8 lbs It was pouring with rain at lunchtime and I had a choice between going to a /fitness/strength training class or sitting in my nice warm office and reading a book. Miraculously, the class won!

9/16 170.4 lbs Ate out at a Turkish restaurant last night after another medical appointment across town. I avoided the bread but did eat most of the fries because the garlic sauce was delicious. I’m probably safe from vampires for a while!

9/17 170.4 lbs Worked from home yesterday so had to make a conscious effort to get my steps in. Quite pleased that I managed to get to just over 15,000, as my step count can be woeful when I don’t walk to the office.

9/18 168.6 lbs Grocery shopping and chores got me to 10,000 steps so I spent the rest of the afternoon crocheting xmas decorations (I’m slow, so I’m starting early).

9/19 167.8 lbs Went for a 7 mile walk early yesterday morning, and it definitely feels like autumn is in the air here. Collected some windfall walnuts on the way – those will be saved for some lovely blue cheese salads.

9/20 168.4 lbs At a work-related conference.

9/21 168.4 lbs Still at the conference, but super pleased with my 2.4 lb loss in this first week since I started logging again.

@reinla I have weighed myself in the morning and in the evening before and seen a 5 pound difference-scary! So I only weigh myself in the morning, after bathroom, before coffee. I also use a weight tracking app called Happy Scale that gives you a moving average and will keep you sane with fluctuations. I think Libra is the app for Android. Maybe you know all this. Regardless, keep going, you’re doing great!

If no movement tomorrow morning it may end up being a skip exercise day; I am still not sure WHY missing a day of exercise makes my weight go down???

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👍👍

Day/Weight/Comment
9/14- 128.8. 💪🏻✏️⏱ Third day at this weight. I have been SO hungry for the past few days. Not sure if it’s the changing weather, adjusting my calorie goal down, or what. But I’m proud of myself for stopping eating at 7:30 yesterday. I wanted to eat everything in the house. Hoping to be less hungry today. So far so good.
9/15 - 128.8. 💪🏻✏️⏱ 🚫 4th day at this weight but it isn't surprising. I am wanting to eat everything. I need to make some more satisfying food choices.
9/16 - 129.2. 💪🏻✏️⏱ Not surprised. I've been pretty much breaking even every day calorie-wise. I don't know why. I guess my body is really wanting to get back to its set point. It was easy for a while but now that I'm getting closer to goal it's getting harder every day. Today is really rough otherwise because my youngest is home from daycare. He threw up overnight but seems fine other than some snot, so at least our weekend won't be impacted much as long as he stays the course. I had a productive day at work yesterday so at least I was kind of sort of caught up!
9/17 - 129.2 💪🏻
9/18 - 133.6 💪🏻✏️⏱
9/19 - 132.4. 💪🏻✏️⏱🚫 Fell off the wagon for the whole weekend basically. Gotta get back on track today!
9/20 - 130.4 💪🏻✏️⏱🚫 Thankfully dropping some of the weekend weight. Yesterday was the first day all challenge that I've actually had a deficit! Hoping this time as I lose I can continue the downward trajectory. It's definitely going to take some focus. Yesterday was a good day fitness-wise and I'm hoping for a repeat.
9/21 - 131. I had close-to-on-plan day yesterday but I did make a pretty salty dinner so maybe it was partly that. I also need to eat more fiber to keep my bowels moving. I used to be so regular but once I started IF things have changed. Doesn't look like I'm going to make my goal this round but I hope I can at least get back to 128.8! I'm bummed because if I'd just stayed on track I'd be so far ahead of where I am now. I was hoping to be a bit closer to goal for my high school reunion on the 30th. Oh well, it will at least keep me motivated until then!

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

ROUND 197-SW 172, ROUND 198 -SW 170.4

9/4: 170.4 this is the weight i have to report on today. i wish it was higher (dang scale) so when i report next sunday it would look like a loss. there's a neighborhood cookout today. gonna try to stay away from the carbs. and the mixed drinks... good gosh, when i get together with these people they'll always hand me something and say "one little (insert food/drink here) isn't going to hurt ya." i can overcome "one little", but they don't seem to understand there's 30 of them! that's too many "one little's"!

9/5: 169.8 did not log meals yesterday because of the cookout. 99% of the food was especially bad for someone dieting. there was a charcuterie board that had a little corner of strawberries, everything else high fat/high carbs/high calories. my little dip in weight is probably from mega stress i've been trying to deal with which slammed my emotions hard yesterday. this morning the coping skills back in check. i haven't been able to go for walks for some time now. Dr. tells me it's sciatica, but i've had constant pain for over a year now. the pain flares up to a point that i just don't want to move at all. taking anti inflammatory and muscle relaxers is not helping, and my follow-up is not until the 29th. i may end up trying to see him again sooner.

9/6: 169.2 have to take an unexpected trip for a few days. i hopefully should be back before this challenge ends.

9/7:

9/8:

9/9:

9/10:

9/11: 168.2 only visited the scale once today, so that's probably not a valid weight. i'm expecting it to be higher once i get back into my regular routine. they had a spring/analog scale where i was at, and it said i was 170. probably more accurate.

9/12: 169.8 another invalid weight. it's afternoon, i've already eaten, and i'm fully dressed. it's an encouraging weight also though, because i've broken all my rules for weigh in and i'm still below 170!

9/13:169.2

ROUND 199
SW: 167.8

Day/Weight/Comment

9/14: 167.8 went 300 cal. over my weight loss, but remained in my maintain. also, went on a chocolate binge last night. feeling pretty guilty about that. i did drink plenty of water, which probably accounts for the loss.

9/15: 166 macros looked like i was practicing keto yesterday. cheeseburgers scheduled for lunch today, with the buns, so i'm expecting a gain. plenty of water.

9/16: 166.2 i need to develop better coping skills. went over in calories by 200

9/17:

9/18: 168.2 this is obviously not my round.

9/19: 167.4

9/20: 167.2

9/21: 165.6 i'm going with "there's no freakin way!". my weights are all over the place, and i have no idea what's going on.

Day/Weight/Comment

9/14 217.0 Hi everyone! I’m so glad to be back – I missed y’all. The last two months have been incredibly stressful and busy both at work and at home, and something had to give…unfortunately it ended up being these daily check-ins. But I did stay on plan most of the time, and I’m proud of that. Meals for today are planned and logged, and I’ll work out before handbell rehearsal tonight.
9/15 215.8 Surprising drop considering I barely slept last night, but I’ll take it. We are going on a Mediterranean cruise in late October for our 30th anniversary and I’m aiming for 210 by then. Don’t know if I’ll make it or not, but I’m going to give it my best shot. Meals for today are planned and logged, and I’m going to move my workout to lunchtime in hopes it gives me energy to get through the afternoon. ‘Cause I’m kinda dragging, not gonna lie.
9/16 216.8 Unsurprising. Had a couple of drinks at happy hour with a friend last night and ate dinner really late. Plus I skipped yesterday’s workout. Happy Friday!
9/17 DNW
9/18 217.2
9/19 217.4 It wasn’t a good weekend. Got one workout in but that’s about the only good I have to say for it. I didn’t make positive choices and it caught up with me. Back on track, though. Catching up on posts from the weekend and drinking my water.
9/20 216.4 Better day yesterday foodwise, not necessarily activity-wise. Meals for today are planned and logged. DH has been out of town and comes home this afternoon, so we’re having fish to welcome him home!
9/21 216.2 Struggling with anxiety this week and I’m not sure why. Right now, I am white-knuckling this whole eating biz and just telling myself “no, no, no, you don’t need the peppermint patties that have been hidden in the top of the closet for the last nine months and that you haven’t eaten in all that time.” If I start, one won’t be enough. Trying to get immersed in work enough to take my mind off everything else. Meals are planned for today.

09/20 -199.0- (Trend weight 198.6) Definitely taking my water pill today. Couldn’t yesterday due to having to run too many errands. Ankles are tight and shiny. Weight is up on the scale. Bad sleep last night, no feeling so hot today. Travel tomorrow to the hospital for some testing. I’ll be getting a Doppler on my legs to check for blockages due to their inability to get a pulse in my left foot and symptoms showing up in my right. I will also be getting another EKG because my breathing has not improved since the stent was placed in my heart. They are doublechecking blood flow before my pulmonary testing in Oct. I am not going to let my health stop me, instead I am letting it motivate me.

09/21 -198.6- (Trend weight 198.6) Handyman never showed up yesterday so I traveled to pick up our eyeglasses with my son. Lunch out of fried foods at a Dairy Queen style place. I avoided the ice cream. That’s big for me. Travel again today for the medical tests. I don’t think I’ll ever get to take that water pill. Ankles tighter and shinier. Anyway, I’ve discovered Poshmark! What a motivator!
