Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 210

joans1976

Hi everyone, I’m Amanda. I did these 10 day challenges all through last summer and most of fall. I stopped due to some medical issues in November and I really missed it but just couldn’t swing it. Anyway, I’m back, having gained 5 pounds but still with the medical issue. So, I’m giving this a try again as this is the challenge that works the best for me!
Good luck to everyone!

SW: 170 pounds: Ultimate Goal weight 145 pounds
10 day goals:
GW for this round: 169--With consistency, I have been fluctuating between 172 and 167 for a few years now. I want my high weight to be below 170 for at least 3 consecutive days by the end of the challenge.

Goal 1: Cut down on the boozy days: Stay dry for 7 out of 10 days.

Goal 2: Increase water intake: Hit 70 oz per day for 8 out of 10 days.

Goal 3: Log my food with 90% consistency.

Goal 4: 20 minutes of movement separate from day to day activities. 80% of the days.

I want to focus on the things I can control and put less focus on the numbers, but I hope that I can be consistently out of the 170s for 3 days straight by the end of the challenge.

1/1 SW: 170.8
Day/Weight/Comment

1/2 AM Weigh-in 172.0--over a pound up since yesterday--I'll blame it on salty cravings yesterday-pickles, olives, and wonton soup. I also didn't hit the water goal, but yesterday was pre-game so it doesn't count toward this round's goals. I decided to add a movement goal because I have definitely been slacking in that area.

1/3 171.2 I met my daily goals yesterday. But, anticipation of going back to work kept me up all night and when I finally started drifting off my dog got sick. According to Fitbit I got less than 3 hours which isn’t like me. I never gave trouble sleeping and usually get a solid 7-8 hours a night. Getting through today is going to be tough.

GIVE ME 10 DAYS – ROUND 210

Round 210
January 2 - January 11, 2023

Hey all, I am 61 years old. Many of you here may remember me from my time here, Sept 2020 to March 2021. I stopped participating when I could not figure out what my role in a group is once I reach maintenance. I continued to lose a little more after and got down to a 30+ lb loss (153 to 121ish). Life happened. First we decided to sell our home of 28 years, and I only did limited damage, then my father broke his hip and my parents went to assisted living. Their home of over 50 years is still unable to be sold due to the contents, and they have a second home that I refuse to drive to until their primary home is done (as well as my own new home). Anyhow, I have neglected ME. 2023 needs to change that! While I am grateful that I did not get back to 153, I still can’t believe that I’ve “done it again”.

Started tracking yesterday. Exercise has not fit in yet, but it will. Traveling to Florida on the 4th. During round 212 I will have an additional change. I am getting Invisalign. Teeth have gone nuts in just the last year+, so yes, some is vanity, but I am very concerned structurally. I have heard there is a joke about the “Invisalign Diet” (you can’t eat with it in and even not supposed to drink other than water, yet you are supposed to keep it in 22 hours/day.)

First goal is to get back down to last winter’s high weight of 138.

1/2 - 145.8 Yesterday, Jan 1 went well enough. I tracked the whole day. I did slightly overshoot my caloric goal, but everything was eaten intentionally. Feels weird not just eating randomly again…..

1/3 – 145.0 Another good tracking day though exercise did not fit in. But hopefully will have life in order to travel tomorrow. I am also starting to put into practice some of the habits I will need to adopt when I get my Invisalign in a couple weeks.

I’ve been off MFP for awhile but I really needed to come back fir the accountability. Christmas was my highest weight EVER. I got sick after that so I was able to drop some of that but I really need to work on daily habits that will get me to a good weight and keep it there. For me the biggest keys are portion control and no nighttime snacking. Those are the two daily goals for this round.

I really wanted a late-night snack last night, but stuck to the plan with a cup of warm, unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I’m feeling very virtuous. 😇

1/02 - 164.7
1/03 - 163.9 - Yay, a drop! I was mindful through the day with food because I knew the meal BF requested was NOT pretty. (Chicken bacon ranch stromboli. From scratch). I'm rather surprised I dropped this much eating that. I did, however, make a decision to take the pup for a much needed after dinner/before dark walk. By the time I got back, I had determined I didn't want any of the cheesecake I made (BF, who hates sweets, loves cheesecake. But he had only ever had strawberry swirl, which I made last week (better than the store-bought he had previously Win!) So now I experimented with a peanut butter cheesecake). I got in my FeelGood plan workout plus Yoga for Flexibility yesterday morning, as well. The NF Anti-Challenge yesterday was to change ONE thing - route to work to pass by gym, pack a gym bag, put yoga mat front and center rather than hiding in closet, etc. Also, to write down "emergency" workouts for when life happens (travel, time, not feeling it, etc). Today I already completed morning portion of planner and Yoga for Flexibility as my "stretch" day for FeelGood Plan. Time to get to work, I suppose! Goal: get up and move more frequently during the day!

Previous Day's Comments

1/02 - Had wings yesterday with Fam and I know that always brings an uptick. Oh and I hit my highest weight EVER on New Years Eve.... joy. Apologies for not posting much, MFP decided that my account had been deactivated whenever I'd try to come on to post. But it wasn't deactivated on my phone as I was able to log in, log food, update progress (measurements and weight). Finally got it sorted out, though. Happy New Year, everyone! I'm not one for resolutions so I simply have my Nerd Fitness Anti-Challenge/Anti-Resolution. Its a 5 day program to set us up to NOT fail like most resolutions. And we are only making "resolutions" we have plans for by the end of this mini challenge (plans meaning: what to do when life gets in the way and we'd normally quit). I also have my new planner which has a place to note daily what you're grateful for, your mood, your self care (yes or no: food, movement, sleep, water, nutrition/supplements/vitamins) daily affirmations, dream journals, ritual/mindful minutes (meditation, morning rituals/bedtime rituals, etc), scripting (I'm scripting my day ahead what I hope/imagine it will be. Speaking good things into existence), 3-6-9 manifestation (learning more about that still), and 1 thing I did to move forward that day. In addition, I'm conveniently over my sinus infection as of Saturday so yesterday I woke up, took all my measurements, and got ready to start my FeelGood Plan (book) work. Week 1 is mostly just paying attention -- journal about sleep (when I went to bed, when I turned lights off, when I woke up, how I felt.), food (when I ate, how I felt right before/during/after eating. Log the food to start to see patterns, etc), and begin the 15 minute workout (provided bodyweight 3x week, Mon/Wed/Fri and choose 15 minutes of activity Saturday to get me moving, even if its just walking). I'm up super early today (430am!) but I went to bed super early last night and listened to my body. Instead of forcing myself back to sleep and oversleeping, I woke up and and I'm doing my morning ritual. I decided what I'm grateful for, wrote my affirmation, completed my dream journal (didn't remember anything, but can note down FeelGood Plan stuff), check in here, and then off to work out! Then coffee once it brews so I can sip that while scripting out my day. It's a day off work (not for BF) so I'm running errands and making dinner. Sorry so long! A lot to catch up on!

@CamandJarvis Thank you for your kind words and thoughts. I really should not complain. Many have so much more to deal with than I. I really should feel fortunate. Sadly, I get distracted more easily than I would care to admit. I'm glad to be back!

Hey, I'm definitely the type to have more SQUIRREL!!!!! moments than actual focused moments during my day so don't feel bad at all. No matter the struggle, big or little, we'll be here to support you!

@CamandJarvis that sounds like an awesome planner. I am a planner freak...where did you find it?

@Machias1949 that is amazing for being on a cruise. I hope I can do as well this month when I go!

So I'm a part of a lot of "witchy" groups (kitchen/recipe/homeopathic medicine related) but it popped up as an ad while scrolling through one. I'm open minded and very much "to each their own, we can coexist happily, just please share your recipe..."

It's called A Mystics Guide to 2023 by Nicole Marie. It does have witchy stuff in beginning (natal chart, chakra stuff, tarot card thing) but it does also have limiting beliefs and fixed vs growth mindset stuff I really appreciate and desperately need. The daily planner part of it isn't witchy (it has the moon sign of the day and the ruler of the day and that's about the only "witchy" part of the daily planner part.) so I just paperclip the witchy stuff so I can breeze past it right to the planner part without being bothered by it. Again, I don't mind it (coexisting), I simply don't partake. Not my cup of coffee or tea hahaha

Day/Weight/Comment
01/01 …..199.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/02 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) Forgot to weigh while getting ready to leave. Sucked down too much coffee prior. Traveling today, tomorrow and the next day. I hope 3 days in a row of travel does not derail me.

01/03 -199.8- (Trend weight 199.3) After travel, I suppose it could have been worse. Gotta keep in Onederland. Travel again today but it won’t be nearly as far. With a good protein breakfast I can probably bypass lunch out. My son will want it and the travel is for him. I’ll probably do a drive-thru for him and just have a lunch at home within plan. Time to get super serious!

1/3 220.3 (-1.5/-1.5) Not the best of days but better than previous as I have had no structure. I did plan meals for yesterday but got caught up in a snack frenzy toward the end of the day. I did manage to increase my water from 32 ounces on 1/2 to 80 ounces. I have planned my meals for today as well as targeting water at 80 ounces again.

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.

We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

Hi all,

Happy New Year! I joined MyFitnessPal yesterday, enjoyed logging and tracking once again. I was a devoted Sparker for many years-I really, really miss it. Spark was just terrific. Anyway, I've gotten quite heavy since going back to the Uni for another degree while working full time, the late and dramatic arrival of The Big M, and then Covid. However, I am ready to build my strength and take off the pounds! I have put weight on and taken it off periodically over the course of my adult life, so I have done this at 32, 37, 47 and 51 years. My highest weight was 212, nine years ago, and I was able to maintain my goal weight of 150-55, with a few brief lapses, for 4 years.

Here is my first log. Thanks very much to the kind and organized first poster, since I copy/pasted their log!

SW: 204
Day/Weight/Comment
1/2 204 (Wow. I gained five pounds over the holiday. It was a real shocker to see this number, although the fit of my pants should have provided a clue! Ate well today and exercised. Drank herb tea only after 7pm, which is a good strategy for me when I am trying to lose weight!)
1/3 202 (Two pounds were obviously water weight! Plan for today: Eat on plan and track. 30+ mins brisk walk. 2-5 min. cardio burst 4x during the day. Lower body strength training 40 mins.)

Hi I’m a
Audrea, 41, 5”8, 202.8lbs
Goal is 200.8lbs
Round 210
1/2-203.8 😵‍💫clearly all of the late night family movie nights with snacks are catching up with me. Just a few more days of vacation and really enjoying lots of time with the kids as I have had a really rough fall of working lots of OT. Will try and be more conscious to have a lighter dinner instead of all the second helpings and not indulge in late night movie snacks.

1/3-201.4 (so I joined the late night snacking challenge, and have been continuing the couch to 5k, and almost cried to see some progress. I have been battling depression eating since my dad passed away the day of the Capitol riots almost two years ago and haven’t been able to shake being consistent. Praying to be a healthier self with consistency and lifestyle change. Feel far away from my marathon running days at 145 but taking a step today. Today my goal is to calorie count and no snacking past dinner/8pm and to eat only my portion on my plate and not my kids and everything else !

Day/Weight/Comment

1/2 210. This is a pleasant surprise. I did eat less sugar and I did drink more water. Now to do it again. I always start off well and within a few days I give in to emotional and stress eating. Need to keep myself busy.

1/3 210 I’m very happy that the number did not go up. I did watch my sugar and drank my water but probably had too much sodium. Also not much movement yesterday.

My doctor is very concerned about my weight / BMI. This is the second heaviest I have ever been. I practice a clean eating lifestyle, but need to exercise more. Goal is to exercise every day for ten days to teach my body this new habit.

Day 1–1/2 149 lbs, feeling motivated to exercise

1/3: 147.8 - Oh how I wanted to snack after dinner last night. I drank ginger lemon tea instead.

What a great idea. I will have to do the same! I really like ginger and lemon tea. I will have to get some fresh ginger.
