Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 208

Skyleen75

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
9/12/22- 185lbs

12/13 182.6
12/14 182.4
12/15 183
12/16 183.5 Bah Humbug! Lol my 3 mile hill packed speed walk and hour spin class did nothing to counter the cider, salad and pizza at holiday trivia night. If that wasn’t enough, we won a tray of cookies of which I ate six. It was definitely the cookies and cider that pushed me over, in hindsight I could have skipped both. Oh well, today is a new day!

Flying to Penn. today. We will have dinner tonight with our daughter and son-in-law (who are also attending the wedding). We were told some wise person nixed the bride-to-be's original plan for an “outside winter wedding ceremony”; and the ceremony has been moved inside the barn. YAH
Well, I did not achieve the 27” waist but I am happy where I have come from 4 months ago.

refactored

HSW: 211.6 lb (Aug 2021)
SW: 191.1 lb (Oct 2022)

Round 208 goal: To lose a pound.

Round 208 starting weight: 175.5 lb.

12/13: 175.5 lb.
I started heavier resistance training and ate at calorie limit.

12/14: 175.7 lb
I visited a friend and they made a whole platter of food for my visit so it was hard to turn down. I tried my best to estimate the calories afterwards but I may have even exceeded maintenance. I will not dwell on it too much but it does remind me how difficult it can be to calorie count and maintain a social life.

12/15: 175.3 lb
Stayed within my calorie target and exercised. All good.

12/16: 174.8 lb
I was consistent again - ate within calorie target and exercised.

12/16: 146.2 - I'm up a little over 2 pounds over the past couple of days. I worked out on the Peloton bike. However, last night was dinner out and I did not plan nor track dinner. Later I got into those after-dinner snacks. Apparently I need to track every single meal right now to keep myself accountable.

@Skyleen75 I feel your pain! I agree too. Today is a new day. I'm not going to beat myself up.

@Machias1949 Safe travels and have fun at the wedding! And congrats on where you are compared to 4 months ago. Good job!

Joining late because my travel plans to my MIL's fell through, so I'll be home for the rest of the round! This challenge helps motivate me so much. I've been very off track for a few days here and need to right the ship.

12/15 - 127.2! Yeesh, gained a lot from all those travel meals and not being mindful.
12/16 - 125.6 I think, can't really remember what came after the 5 this morning. I've taken rest days the past two days. Slammed at work in the lead up to the holidays so have to fight to get exercise in today. We were supposed to go to my MIL's tomorrow for a week before Christmas, but my family is a little bit sick and it looks like there is going to be a snowstorm on the days we planned to travel home. Honestly at this point in my life, the greatest gift I can receive is cancelled plans, so I'm relieved to stay home. Plus I can save a couple of the vacation days I was going to take next week for the upcoming year! Really want to get some of this bloat/weight off so I can go swimsuit shopping next week and feel good.

12/12 …..198.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/13 -198.4- (Trend weight 198.0)

12/14 -198.8- (Trend weight 198.1)

12/15 -198.2- (Trend weight 198.1) I’m feeling pretty good about the drop considering the bloat is still there. Tonight my DD, new SIL and DGS will come for a homemade Mexican dinner at my house. DGS will stay overnight so she can work in the morn. That means lots of stair climbing for me. I’ll be out of breath, but the calorie burn will likely be higher today. Hopefully tomorrow’s scale weight should show that.

12/16 -198.2- (Trend weight 198.1) My social dinner was very controlled but my daughter brought dessert. Gosh, I’ve got to learn control around sweets! I share because I care. If you are not always perfect, you are not alone. But we can still succeed. It doesn’t take perfection but it does take some sort of consistency and a lot of determination mixed in with as much self-control as we can muster up. It takes exercise or fitness plans, water, vitamins, good macros including protein and a never-give-up attitude, even if we give in at times. I’m on this path with you all. I’m not going anywhere. And it will take a lot more than a couple of pieces of Christmas fudge to stop me.

12/13 - 177.6
It looks like I’m going to finish the year not much lower that I started it. I don’t know whether to be disappointed at not losing, or relieved that I’ve (re)lossed the 3 pounds I gained in the summer. A bit of both, I guess. This round ends on my birthday, and I’m determined to be below 177 by then, which is highly doable. Nighttime eating, or lack thereof, is the key, and I know that, so….

12/14 - 178
Calories were fine, so this is salt/water from salmon patties (which I make with eggs only, no bread). Dog training club holiday party tonight, so I’ll have to put my self-control hat on. Not even sure I’ll go, but if I do….

12/15 - 177.6
Well, that’s a surprise since I showed no self control at last night’s party. I suppose it will catch up with me tomorrow or Sat. It was fun, though!

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 over 5 years with amazing results!

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

SW RND 208 124.5

12/13 125.5 Ate Mexican for OMAD. Made stupid choices. I’m blaming stress. I am stressed because DH won’t ask for help when he should and, quite honestly, I’m tired of worrying about him doing something stupid that messes up his healing.
12/14 125.5 awake at 1:30. Thought it was time to get up but went back to bed and back to sleep. Woke up again at 4:25 decided to stay up but then change my mind went back to bed and slept until 7:02.
12/15 125.0 slept well, I think, I feel as if I never move. According to the Fitbit I m moving all night. BBQ (Jessie Rae’s) last night for dinner.
12/16 126.0 busy days all this week, glad it’s almost over. Took DH for post op follow up, went to Sam’s Club for a couple of items and lunch - hot dog in bun, haven’t had one of those in a long time- my eye doctor appt, had left over brisket for dinner then made 2 kinds of shortbread for “appetizer and dessert” party this afternoon. DGD#2 officially gets her Masters this afternoon and we’ll watch via YouTube streaming. DH has PT assessment and I need my nails done - so will call neighbor’s manicurist to she if she can do that in the time I have available. Manicures are something I have previously done on extremely rare occasions in the past but have decided I “deserve” after these months of “chauffeur” duty. I’m looking forward to the do nothing weekend.

Feeling a little better today.
Doing my best to keep on track.
Dropped a few more lbs
as appetite is not good.

• In Maintenance since July 2019
• Smart BMI - optimal weight.
• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal range

Just because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessarily.
People are still dying out there……… and the numbers are on the rise again.
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
DECEMBER focus:

* maintain weight < 140 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
* Maintain Daily Solid Habits

I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

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!

Round 208 goal: To lose a pound.

Round 208 starting weight: 175.5 lb.

12/13: 175.5 lb.
I started heavier resistance training and ate at calorie limit.

12/14: 175.7 lb
I visited a friend and they made a whole platter of food for my visit so it was hard to turn down. I tried my best to estimate the calories afterwards but I may have even exceeded maintenance. I will not dwell on it too much but it does remind me how difficult it can be to calorie count and maintain a social life.

12/15: 175.3 lb
Stayed within my calorie target and exercised. All good.

12/16: 174.8 lb
I was consistent again - ate within calorie target and exercised.

12/17: 174.6 lb
Went out for dinner but I planned out the calories and stuck to it. Followed a YouTube resistance exercise video too.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/13 / 174.6 / I came home from work last night to a feast and I had nibbles here and there throughout the night that added up. I did get my walk yesterday at lunch but my steps were still a bit low. Planning to do better today!
12/14 / 175 / My husband got to return early from his business trip. Hooray! I had a good day today.
12/15 / 174.6
12/16 / 174.6 / I'll take this weight two days in a row so I don't have to see 175 again! My last full work week for 2022 is now behind me. Tonight after work we had a nice dinner out and went and saw some Christmas lights.

@quiltingjaine I get regular manicures Nov-March (lol no point during garden season). Just a glance at my fancy little paws always makes me feel good! I wish I had learned earlier in life that we should treat ourselves special all the time! I’m glad I know it now.

Skyleen75

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
9/12/22- 185lbs

12/13 182.6
12/14 182.4
12/15 183
12/16 183.5
12/17 183.5 just hanging out up here. Calories weren’t great, DD was home as she’s traveling to Egypt for Xmas. It was a snow day and we have a snow day tradition of making meatballs and rice crispy treats (eaten separately!!!). I did my best to be reasonable.
Another big social event tonight followed by early Christmas dinner for DD on Monday. December is a calorie mine field!!!!

73 years-old great-grandmother (5'2")
ON 8/29: was 134 LBS and had a 33” natural waist
My Goal: (Dec 17, 2022- 117-119 LBS & waist 27” at 2 PM)
Round 208: RSW 118.6 waist 28.5” (goal this round to have a 28” or smaller waist)

Losses or gains:
round 207- 1.2 lbs
12/12-119.0 Met goal!!!!!

12/13-118.6
12/14-118.6
12/15-117.6
12/16-118.4
12/17-119.0 weight registered in Penn. is based on my travel scale which tends to read heavier.
BEST LAID PLANS!!!! For months I have been trying to lose weight to fit into my long forest green dress, and I achieved that goal. The problem “I FORGOT THE DRESS-IT IS HANGING BACK IN FLORIDA and not here in Penn.!!! I realized when I started to unpack the suitcase, all I had was packed blue jeans. Now I have a long KNIT “Wool” Moss Green DRESS which I was able to buy at a local store- at least it will go with the jacket, belt, shoes, and purse I bought to go with the other FORGOTTEN dress!! Not sure when I will ever wear it again-something I was trying to avoid.-OH WELL looks nice and very artsy.

@Machias1949 - oh dear !! At least you'll look lovely and you have the satisfaction that you could have worn the forest green dress, you'll have to go to another event to wear it ! Lol 😆. A photo of you in your outfit would be nice, but have a wonderful time, just enjoy 🤗😄xx
