Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 200

musicsax

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 200 ( my 132th). Thanks again @QuiltingJaine.

So there it is the holiday damage weight gain! I knew it was going to be; my resting heart rate has risen to 54 beats per minute which for me is a direct result of gaining. Goal this round again is to lose 2.5 pounds to get back into 130's (& under 10 stone again!) . Gained the extra in 12 days, so this should be doable! 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. Healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

9/25 DNW - dinner party at good friends and stayed over so we could have a drink with them, 6.24 miles walked yesterday.
9/26 140.2 – a nice start! Had bacon sandwich brunch at friends before heading back home, spent all afternoon in the garden weeding, dead heading & removing spent bedding plants & sweet peas. It looks nice now!

9/29 139.2 - 11.2 miles walked and am hour's yoga, 20% of exercise calories eaten back.
9/30 139.2 – child minding, no structured walking, hence over on calories, but no binge

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!

/Spinning class/ Managed to lose a bit despite some fairly poor food choices yesterday. Started with a breakfast meeting, which was the real culprit. I can’t seem to not order corned beef hash with poached eggs and toast when I see it on a menu.

DW and I are making a real effort to stop eating after supper. +/- 6:00pm.

You know you have a problem when you “suddenly realize” in the evening you are standing in front of an open refrigerator or pantry (that you had just opened for no apparent reason.) You can’t even remember making the decision to do so. Force of habit.

Exciting! ROUND 200
RSW: 129.0
RGW: 126.0 (getting ambitious despite not making it to 127 last round)
Non-scale round goals:
💪🏻 Work out 9/10 days
✏️ Track food 9/10 days
⏱ Fast >16 hours 9/10 days
🚫 Alcohol-free 5/10 days

Day/Weight/Comment

9/24 - ⏱✏️ 127.4! Whoop! Officially lost 10% of my starting weight (142.2). I’m not behaving great today so I don’t know if it will stay down but it feels good and motivating to at least touch this weight.
9/25 - ✏️ DNW.
9/26 - 💪🏻✏️⏱🚫 DNW. Wow, I was sooo off plan over the weekend. I did track but was over by at least 1000 calories both Saturday and Sunday, and that’s assuming I remembered to track everything. Ouch. Also zero exercise this weekend. Good family time, though. Made my first apple pie of the season yesterday and it is amazing. No need for hugs here, I know what I need to do this week to recover. Happy Monday everyone
9/27 - 💪🏻✏️⏱🚫 128.8. I can live with it. Took a couple days of being totally off plan to gain over the weekend and will take a couple days of being on plan to lose it. I did great yesterday so I'll just continue that trajectory today. I think I'm going to make chili today because things are really cooling off here.
9/28 - 💪🏻✏️⏱🚫 128.4 slow and steady. Got my workouts in yesterday. I’m going to take it a little easier today though. May just walk the dogs and do yoga or something. Proud of myself for resisting beer last night while my husband drank. We have beers on hand that would have gone great with chili! I think not drinking most days is the only way I’m going to continue to lose at this point. Just have to convince weekend pezhed of that.
9/29 - 💪🏻✏️⏱🚫 127.2. 15 pounds gone! Being on plan certainly pays off!
9/30 - 💪🏻✏️⏱🚫 127.2. I’m going to have to have a more on-plan weekend than usual to get to 126 by Monday. It shouldn’t be too difficult because my high school reunion was postponed because of the rain expected this weekend, but I certainly need to get some groceries or we're going to be ordering in all weekend. Going to get a bunch of comforting foods since it will be cold and rainy. Our property is out of flood range but our area is expecting 3-5 inches from Ian.
10/1 - 💪🏻✏️⏱128. Saltyyyy Chinese food last night. I made okay choices and I’m pretty sure I stayed within my calories. Just retaining a whole bunch of water here. Gonna have to drink more water than I usually manage on weekends to flush myself out!
10/2 - ✏️128
10/3 - 128. Wish I'd checked in yesterday so I would have realized today was the end of the challenge. I might have made better choices! I did lose 1 pound this round despite doing a lot of bouncing around. Have to stop sabotaging myself on the weekends!
Non-scale goals:
💪🏻 Work out 9/10 days: Nope, only 7 out of 10 counting today
✏️ Track food 9/10 days: Done!
⏱ Fast >16 hours 9/10 days: Nope, only 8 out of 10 counting today
🚫 Alcohol-free 5/10 days: Done!

See everyone in round 201!

I am so happy to be back. Missed a round getting both my kids off to University. DD1 doing her final year out of state in USA. DD2 a Freshman in England. DH and I grew up in the UK but have been in America since before the kids were born.

Still a bit jet lagged from the UK trip - there was a lot of running around getting her and all her stuff from where she had ended up on her gap year to the University.

Round Goal: 136.3, Final Goal: 133
9/24 138.3 (+.5)
9/25 138.4 (+.1) Always a bump up in the days after long flights. Rehydrating.
9/26 137.8 (-.6) CICO over by 21. 👟16k. A good day. Stayed focused.
9/27 138.0 (+.2) CICO over by 66 👟8k. Really tired. Sleeping badly. Dragging through.
9/28 138.9 (+.9) CICO over by 100s. 👟8k. Jet lag is just a joke until you are days into it yourself. Yesterday I was so so tired and craving sugar so bad. Then after I ate some I craved more and ate more. Then craved and ate more and more… But last night was the first time in a week I slept more than 2 hours in a row. Also realize I have been walking the dog at 6am in the dark, and being outside without daylight does nothing to help reset your clock. This too will pass.
9/29 139.7
9/30 139.7
10/1 138.6
10/2 137.4 need to hold on and finish the round strong
10/3 136.8 I have not been this low for more than 20 years. Kind of stunned.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/24 215.0 – officially 50 pounds down from where I started!
9/25 215.0
9/26 215.2 Happy Monday everyone! Had a great weekend – our son came home from college. Before he left, he said he wanted pumpkin bread and chocolate chip cookies. So I got the joy of baking with him, and then got to eat a slice of bread and a couple of warm cookies and send the rest away with him! Best of all possible outcomes. 😊
9/27 214.8 Actually in the office today for the first time in a month or so. Preparing for an event tomorrow afternoon so there will be a lot of running around. Unfortunately, I did not make time to bring lunch with me, so I’ll have to figure something out. That usually doesn’t end well. Then I’m doing a crafty thing with friends tonight so dinner will also be on the run. All in all it should be an interesting day, but I’ll do my best!
9/28 214.6 Making and painting a Halloween tree with friends last night was great fun! I did well all day but then we went out to eat after the class. The menu wasn’t overly friendly to those of us watching caloric intake but I did the best I could, and I enjoyed my half portion of fish and some chips. I imagine I’ll see a bounce upwards tomorrow. Meals for today are planned and logged. Hope any of you in or around FL are safe from Ian!
9/29 214.2 Expected a bounce up but I’ll take the drop. We are leaving for our anniversary cruise in 24 days (who’s counting?) and I don’t think I’ll quite make my goal of 210 before leaving but I’m giving it everything I’ve got. Meals for today are planned and logged.
9/30 214.0 Rainy, breezy day here thanks to the remnants of Ian. Today is one of those days I’d love to curl up with a book and a cat, but work calls. Hope each of you have a great weekend!
10/1 213.8
10/2 214.2
10/3 213.8 Yesterday was a hard day but we got through it. We have friends who are dealing with some stuff and it’s hard to watch people you love go through tough times. But I’m back on plan today. Meals are planned and logged. @SheilaBoneham, Rory is a gorgeous fellow! My mom had a very anxious Aussie who was mistreated before he came to her and I know it’s hard. Thank you for taking such good care of him! @abigailgorton1 congratulations!

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/24: - DNW - backpacking
9/25: - DNW - backpacking
9/26: - DNW - backpacking
9/27: 131.2 - Turned out we didn’t do any backpacking but ended up camping/hiking. Our need to be near wi-fi service for an important phone call called for altering our plans. I think three days may be my limit for being dirty. We planned dinners and breakfasts and lunch the first day. Rest of the time was mostly snack food.
9/28: 132.1 - No workout or keeping track of eating. Love that the scale always jolts me back to reality!
9/29: 131.2 - Normal workout, good eating and good sleep
9/30: 131.2 - Normal workouts. Eating was mostly compressed into the later evening hours which made me feel full going to bed.
10/1: 131.6 - Got my workout in early and eating was mainly good.
10/2: 131.4 - Normal workout with a pretty tough glutei/arm/ab workout. I’m surprised I’m not more sore this morning. Needed it to counteract the Rice Krispy Treat sampling we did as I was making them for a friend.
10/3: 130.5 - Unexpected way to end the round, but I’ll take it. Lowest weight I've been in 40 years probably. Got my workout in, but still eating too many sweets. Yesterday made coconut macaroons for a friend’s wedding. Of course, had to sample.

Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: - 0.2 pounds

Day/Weight/Comment

9/24: 293.6. Just ate damn near my weight in snow crab legs so not the best start in the world, but better than burgers I guess.

9/25: 293.6.

9/26: 293. Got a new Renpho scale and started using it today. I like how it feeds directly into MFP.

9/27: 293. Holding steady I guess.

9/28: 292.4. Drinking water like my life depends on it, apparently flushed something out lol.

9/29: 291.6. I think my body tends to somehow hold on to stuff and then suddenly release it in one big go.

@enlightenme3 wow lowest weight in 40 years! Congrats!

9/24 212 lbs, walked yesterday, stayed under calories, even with a few extra munchies.
9/25 211.8, walked yesterday and today, had to find something to eat before bedtime to get close to 1200 calories.
9/26 211.6, the right direction. I don’t plan to walk today, so weight may be up tomorrow.
9/27 212. Yes, it’s up, but it’s ok. No walk yesterday or today, ate late last night. Should go down in a day or two. Eating good.
9/28 211.8 worked in yard, probably up tomorrow.
9/29 212.4 my “midnight snack” is showing.
9/30 211.6 better.
10/1 211.6 hmm
10/2 212.4 no midnight snack, under calories yesterday.
10/3 212.4

New to this challenge.
My goal is to stay on track for 10 straight days. I love ❤️ low calorie foods. Problem is that I love high calorie foods too.
But I WILL have more of the former and less of the latter for 10 days.


I don’t know what happened. I ate under my goal calories every day, exercised some days, and gained .4 pounds in 10 days.
This seems to be the way my life is going.


I did prove to myself that I can eat only healthy, low calorie food for days at a time if I just try.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/24 / 169.4 / Not surprised I had a bump up after the mysterious two pound drop. I also ate my feelings last night and exercise didn't happen. Work is getting the best of me. I am still trending down after my vacation but I need to ensure I'm managing my emotions without using food as a crutch.
9/25 / 169.8 / Last day of the season at the lake. Slept late and now I'm enjoying my coffee outside.
9/26 / 169 / Today's wins: balanced mental health at work, ate on plan, 60 minute Peloton ride, over 8000 steps, quality time with family.
9/27 / 169.2 / Walked at lunch so I have already hit my 10K steps and that's before I take my dog out. I am emotionally tired today so I'm just trying to prioritize the time I have tonight as best I can.
9/28 / 168.8
9/29 / 168.8
9/30 / 171.4
10/1 / 172.2 / Happy October! The work week is not allowing for much in the way of downtime, but I missed checking in here. Thursday night I had an after hours work event that was a food and drink blowout and then I lead into a full out binge. My jump is a reflection of that. After my on-call duties this morning my husband and I are meeting one of his friends in Canmore to bike.
10/2 / 171.4 / We had a great day biking in the mountains yesterday and today we go for a hike. Get to take our dog this time. The fall weather right now is beautiful.. can't beat it!
10/3 / 171.4 / Had a good Peloton workout after work tonight and ate salad for dinner. Need to make some progress next round.

I am about 8 kg along the way to lose 32 kg. I use multiple tape measurements (cm) around my body because they aren't affected by salt intake. My weight has been dropping for 5 months now. Apparently I've been trying to lose weight since September 2012, the last time I was at goal weight. Let's see if stopping eating sugary food is going to change things.

How this round went: unfortunately I gained this round. Which means I've delayed reaching goal weight by about 20 days. It also means I've wasted 50 minutes each day on the elliptical. Hopefully I will lose next round.

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.
