    Day/Weight/Comment

    10/14 - 177.2
    Still coughing and blowing with a cold, and I just want to sleep, but off I go to walk/run some energy off the pup. Then maybe I’ll go back to bed!

    10/15 - 177
    Feeling a little better today, so off for a walk with Rory pup.

    10/16 - 178
    Ooops. Yep, I did some emotional eating, some of it quite salty. Onward.

    10/17 - 177.2
    Ok, now to drop out of the 77s for good!

    10/18 - 176.2
    Whoa! That’s a nice surprise! Especially since I made brownie last night and ate one. But I was still close to my calories goal, so all good, I guess. Now to keep going.

    10/19 - 176.4
    Sticking mostly to the plan, and I’m finally getting my macros closer to recommendations from GenoPalate, which is based on DNA and which recommended I eat more whole carbs and less fat than I was eating. I’m finding it hard to change that balance, but am slowly getting closer. I’m curious to see if it makes an obvious difference.

    10/20 - 177
    Salty food yesterday, and a little too much of it, I think. And some stress eating. It’s ok.

    10/21 - 177
    Holding pattern for now. That’s ok.

    10/16: DNW - Traveling - only a short hike/walk with some touring of a town we’re visiting.
    10/17: DNW - Traveling - touring Benington VT today. Not a lot of good choices when it comes to food

    Day/Weight/Comment
    10/23 …..202.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
    10/14 -202.0- (Trend weight 200.0)

    10/15 -200.4- (Trend weight 200.1)

    10/16 -200.6- (Trend weight 200.1)

    10/17 -200.6- (Trend weight 200.2)

    10/18 -200.2- (Trend weight 200.2) I would like to remind everyone that this is breast cancer awareness month. Please don’t forget to do a very good self-check and schedule your mammogram. It saves lives and your life is important! Men, don’t forget your prostate screening. th?id=OIP.A6id1WamtAWKtZml6HIKPAAAAA&pid=Api&P=0

    10/19 -200.2- (Trend weight 200.2) Exactly the same. Probably because I did all the same right things, and all the same wrong things. Hair appt today. There will be plenty of sitting and lack of activity. I’ll try to make up for it on the exercise bike tonight for a bit. Can’t do much though until I go through the cardiac rehab. Waiting for insurance approval. Day 3 of snow here in my little neck of the woods.

    10/20 -201.0- (Trend weight 200.3) An uptick. Not bad for expected bloat. Today will be a mindful day with quantities but there will be some Thai food involved. I won’t be eating the included rice. I have my own cauliflower rice I will be using to keep the carbs down. I plan some extra movement and water.

    10/21 -201.8- (Trend weight 200.4) I did great yesterday until I didn’t. At least I was able to move more, get in more steps and a bit more activity.

    10/22 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

    10/23 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s

    Round 202
    October 14 - October 23, 2022

    Please join us starting on 10/14 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 202!

    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.

    10/20 - 159.6
    10/21 - 158.6 - Back down it goes, just as I had hoped. And much quicker, at that! I have a bit of a scratchy throat this morning and some serious jaw pain. I guess despite my nightguard, my jaw will still be achy when I grind my teeth and I might still get a little swollen scratchy throat feeling (this is me hoping it's that or allergies and not sickness). No workout this morning and not sure I'll get one in with the jaw pain-induced migraine I'm dealing with. Tonight is a plan to eat out on the way to a high school football game. FamHub's friend apparently coaches the other team? Neither are teams any of the kids go to, so it's really just to see the friend and have an excuse to watch football. I'm watching my food intake, already debating my lunch options to give me the most wiggle room for dinner out. Keeping up with my water and tea, though, in hopes I'll feel a bit better by this evening. Not sure weekend plans, but I'm hoping to at least keep mine chill and quiet. Aiming to avoid all alcohol for the weekend if possible. I had a glass of wine Monday with dinner. Half a glass of beer Wednesday (split with BF) and nothing otherwise. I do feel better. Peer pressure will be a challenge but I'm determined to see myself through. Especially since I know beer is what kills my calorie budget and wine or hard liquor kills my ability to portion control food. (When I drink a glass with dinner, I portion my plate BEFORE I pour or take a single sip of wine to offset that)

    Previous Day's Comments
    10/14 - It's very tiny, but it's a drop! I was over calories but under maintenance yesterday so I was expecting a bump up. BF had requested dinner be a meal I had made myself for lunch one day (he tried it then and loved it). It's a bit of a calorie bomb despite all the veggies. Brunch was also a bit of a splurge thinking it'd hold me over until dinner. Unfortunately I needed a small snack which pushed me over. Today I'm going to ease into a rowing workout since I think my body is readjusted and ready enough to get back into more challenging workouts. Likely a 5 or 10 minute one, though, so as not to overdo it. Also aiming for a less calorie-dense brunch to allow for a mid-afternoon snack to hold me over. Completely unsure of dinner but the weekend always gets me so I'm trying to set myself up strong to make it through the weekend without a huge gain (bloat may be another thing, but I can handle that over an actual gain)
    10/15 - DNP
    10/16 - DNP
    10/17 - Renovation work all weekend on Fam's house. Once again couldn't keep up water no matter how hard I tried. I'm back on the routine today with work so hopefully it'll drop off in a day or two. Just completed a 20 minute full workout (warm up and cool down included) on the rowing machine. Tonight's dinner is a garlic parmesan pasta with chicken. Crock pot meal but BigBro liked it the last time I made it so I said I'd make it again for him. Will be careful early in the day to avoid overeating. Logging that as soon as I'm done typing this up so I know what I have to work with. Hoping to fast as long as possible but we shall see how my body reacts to my first big workout in weeks when it comes to requiring fuel.
    10/18 - MFP is all kinds of funky. It doesn't recognize my login when I try to log food, but it allows me to log in when I post? Oh well, logging works on my phone app at least. Not sure the uptick. I drank all my water and was 427 calories under yesterday (297 from exercise). I didn't work out this morning, I had a rough night tossing and turning and simply was not feeling it. Most, I'm assuming, was due to the dog hogging all my blankets most of the night (as soon as I'd get them back and fall asleep, she'd steal them again). Hopefully tomorrow is better. Also had the unfortunate realization that I thought today was Wednesday and it is, in fact, only Tuesday. More time to get back on track and drop some of this weight before the weekend upends me again, I suppose. Not sure dinner tonight. I have leftovers from last night's dinner for lunch. Still fasting and hoping to hold on to that until lunch if I can without getting grouchy. Or BF telling me to eat because my stomach is rumbling so loud it's distracting him hahaha it definitely happened yesterday. And it's growling at me as I type (though I don't feel hungry at all so I'm ignoring it and BF is on a work call so he can't hear it). Hopefully chugging this water will quiet it and get me back on track since I'm a tad behind without having the workout to spur my thirst on. Hope today is wonderful for you all!
    10/19 - There it is, that drop I've been hoping for! Now to hold on to it. No workout this morning, I woke up mid-dream again and it took nearly a half hour to convince myself out of bed. Still a tad groggy, but better. I was over my goal by 14 calories due to lack of movement, but still in a big enough deficit. Not sure dinner tonight but lunch is leftover tacos. Wish I had some spinach or lettuce to make a taco salad instead, but alas, I do not. Quite hungry this morning to the point of feeling a little light headed so I went ahead and had something small to break my fast. Much improved now, thankfully. EDIT: My computer decided to panic and die on me before I could post and MFP is being a turd all around by giving me issues both on the computer and on the app. Think I'm good now, though. At least it saved my draft! Today will likely be a bust food-wise simply because of breakfast. Going to try for some extra movement in the coming hours to make up for it. I currently only have 23 calories left in my budget, oof! If I'm able to keep it below 1800, though, I should be at or below maintenance which shouldn't pose a problem.
    10/20 - No hugs needed. I promise. There it was and there it went! Not too worried. Last night's dinner didn't thaw out as planned so we had to switch dinners. Tonight was supposed to be pizza night (Thursday Night Football) and last night smoked chicken thighs. Instead, pizza last night and thighs tonight. I wasn't going to hit calorie goals anyway, so yesterday was a bust. At least it all happened in one day and today I can focus on getting back to it! I DID just finish a 10 minute rowing workout (with 10 minutes for warmup/cooldown) finally so feeling more positive about hitting today's goals. I also love my new Fitbit with the exercise option of "rowing machine". My old Fitbit didn't have that and I had to log using 'workout' and maaaaybe remember to change it to 'rowing machine' in the app after I finished. Lunch is leftover homemade bierrocks which I had frozen from a few weeks ago. Unsure sides with dinner, but I'm pre-logging what I can to ensure I have some wiggle room. And I'm not hungry right now which bodes well for fasting until lunch. Now if I can manage today's positivity and goal-focused mindset through the weekend

    Starting Weight (2018): 230lbs
    Ultimate Goal: 140lbs
    Starting weight for R202: 164.2lbs
    R202 Goal Weight: 162.2lbs


    Day/Weight/Comment
    10/14 163.4lbs (-0.8lbs) Woop! Did not expect to see a drop today since I started taking creatine some days ago. Ended R201 on 164.2lbs yesterday, so seeing the 163’s is nice today πŸ₯³

    10/15 - 162.7 (-1.5lbs) Damn! Super surprised by this number considering I spent the evening at McDonalds. Stayed within calories, but still! It contains so much salt and carbs. I’ll take it! πŸ™‰ Had a really rough HIIT workout today that lasted for an hour. I was in HR zone 3 for 10 mins and zone 4 for 40min.

    10/16 - 162.7 (-1.5lbs) The exact same number as yesterday. Which is great! I hope I never ever see this number again in my life 😎 Don’t know yet if I’m going to hit the gym today or just go for a walk.. I have a pretty intense workout planned for tomorrow. Wishing you all a lovely day πŸ’—

    10/17 - 163.0 (-1.2lbs) I have no explanation for this small bump up πŸ˜‚ I ate below calories, did one HIIT workout and went for two walks yesterday.

    10/18 - 162.9 (-1.3lbs) Stayed under calories and did a one hour HIIT workout πŸ˜„ Still patiently waiting for a big whoosh effect πŸ˜‚ πŸ’« No, but for real.. Even if the weight hasn’t changed that much the past month I can feel that my body has. It’s tighter and stronger! Too bad I didn’t do a BF measurement before I started πŸ™‰

    10/19 - 162.5 (-1.7lbs) My lowest this round πŸ₯³ Hope I make it to my goal. Stayed under calories yesterday and did a one hour HIIT workout too, taking an active rest day today. Maybe I’ll go for a small walk or something.

    10/20 - 162.5 (-1.7lbs) I just want to be done with the 160’s now πŸ˜‚ I feel like this is going so slow πŸ™‰ Feels like my body really wants to stay at this weight, even if if doesn’t make sense. Going to focus on upping my protein intake and lowering carbs without changing my calorie intake. Can’t really go any lower on calories.

    10/21 - 161.6 (-2.6lbs) Now we’re talking 😎 Stayed under cals, ate less carbs and more protein. Did 40 minutes of HIIT training and got over 10k steps during the day.

    10/22 - 161.3 (-2.9lbs) Did one hour of HIIT training and stayed under calories. I schedule my workouts on Sundays so I know that nothing can interfere with them and I have no excuses. Been working really great for me! Been consistently working out 4-5 days a week for 2 months πŸ˜ƒ Going to stay consistent with the high protein/low carb. Aiming for 128g protein a day πŸ₯΅ It ain’t easy not gonna lie πŸ˜‚

    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!

    Awesome! Thank you as always for posting @quiltingjaine! These challenges really keep me motivated and you are a great group of people! ❀️
    This will be my 13th round and I have lost a total of 27.6 pounds so far! This challenge brings me the most success and is much easier by breaking up my goals into smaller chunks.
    I have one very solid goal, to be in Onederland by 12/17/22, after that, let the weight come off how it does.

    SW: 250
    UGW: under 150 ish
    RSW: 204.3
    RGW: 203 ish

    10/14: 204.3
    10/15: 204.0
    10/16: 205.3
    Hmm. Not good but it will come off.
    10/17: 204.6
    I’ve been bouncing around the same 2 pounds for two weeks now but I’m not eating at maintenance calories. I just want to make it to Onederland already. I need to stop being so focused on a number!
    10/18: 204.0
    10/19: 203.1
    10/20: 204
    10/21: 203
    10/22: 204.6
    I’ve definitely been emotionally eating.
