Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 213
Replies
-
@quiltingjaine Thank you so much for doing the just give me 10 days. I did the 213 was doing really good. My biggest problem is I am an emotional eater. We are wintering in AZ from ND staying in an RV park. Yesterday was taking my pup for a walk, she is a little Shorkie I always bring my poop scooping bags with me. Always clean up after her. While walking she stopped to do her business and I was in the process of cleaning it up, took my headphones down because this lady was screaming at me. She told me there is a dog park and your dog keeps *kitten* in the yard, I was shocked and said I am sorry but I always clean it up. She screeched it doesn't matter it still stinks. Then she proceeded to screech that I need to walk down another street. We are parked on the same street as her. This is a park of over 3000 people and everyone has one or 2 dogs.
I came home so upset I could cry I ate everything in site trying to make myself feel better. Now I get on the scale and could cry again. So frustrating that evil lady won twice she intimidated me and then i screwed up all the work I did on this diet was close to goal now up 3lbs. Could just cry. thank you for listening to me.
Do you have any advice or words of wisdom for me. Thank you11 -

02/07 -196.6- (Trend weight 196.6)
02/08 -195.8- (Trend weight 196.5)A good day yesterday except for the exercise which was very low level due to a long hair appointment. I look like a French poodle now from the perm. Full-breed Ha. Ha. I am still up a full pound from my starting weight (lowest scale reading in quite awhile) and not much time to reach goal (any loss at all). Only two more scale readings left. Ugh. Tonight my DD and SIL will be coming to dinner. I am making chicken shish-kebobs. Very low fat, low carb and low calorie. Yum!
02/09 -194.4- (Trend weight 196.3) Yes Yes Yes! Below my starting weight which is my goal! I did great yesterday until about 3:00 in the morning when I hit the candy dish (leftover Christmas chocolates etc still in there which I have had no problem resisting for 2 months now!) It was emotional eating 100% due to something that happened. When I say I gorged myself with it, I mean that I put a handful of it in all at once until I actually coughed and choked on it. But I still managed to swallow it! Of course, glucose is up this morning but scale was good because my exercise level was good and my overall day was on plan, otherwise. However, we all know it may still show up on the scale. I hope not tomorrow on the last weigh-in of the challenge. I’d like to type round 213 in pink! I’m just sharing, my friends because you know who you are and you are not alone. Back on track today. DD and grandson will arrive this afternoon and hopefully she will not spend the weekend trying to feed me! Last weekend she brought very very high calorie and high carb soup she made. I promptly put it in the freezer in multiple measured servings. I will be refeeding it to her during times she is hungry and don’t know what she wants! Revenge!

Hi, I'm Charissa, ready to go for Round 213/4.
I love these 10 days at a time rounds! Very doable. Better than a week as you tend to follow the same up and downs per week and it doesn't always show your progress. Also being able to refocus after 10 days is great!

2/1 216.6 (-0.0/-0.0) My body seems to have adjusted to the lack of alcohol😞 I did have some wine last night but back on target for today and hopefully the next 10 days. Both Goals met ✔✔
2/2 215.8 (-0.8/-0.8) After a 3 day stall, the scale is moving again and in the right direction! Today's meals are planned and should see another loss in the morning. Both Goals met ✔✔
2/3 215.6 (-0.2/-1.0) Better than 0... Water Goal Met ✔
2/4 216.3 (+0.7/-0.3) Expected but was hoping to not see it...The day was good and I saved my calories for crustless pizza. 2 glasses of wine showed up...I ended up over calories by 300. And now it's the weekend....
2/5 217.8 (+1.5/+1.2) Ooops...The first mistake was not planning dinner for Saturday. At around 4pm, looked around and had nothing prepped for dinner so did a unplanned grocery run....and I was hungry....you know where this is going. All kinds of interesting things ended up in my cart!
2/6 218.2 (+0.4/+1.6) The good news - I enjoyed my weekend. It was a lazy kinda weekend. Sunday was kind of back on track but the damage was already done. And this week kinda has "doomed" written all over it. Tuesday we go out to dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Saturday we go out to finish celebrating my husbands birthday and finally Sunday is superbowl. It will be round 214 by then... One day at a time.
2/7 Mulligan - it will just depress me. Not sure what's going on in my head but it started with a bag of cheetos after lunch. The kind that looks like it should be a serving but when you read the label after you've consumed the bag you see that it was 2.5 servings😞 But, here's why these rounds are so powerful, at least for my mind. I've got dinner tonight then I have 3 days to get at least back to starting weight for this round and then the new round starts and I can forget that this round ever existed!!🙂 I need to at least meet my water goal today!!! Water Goal Met ✔
2/8 220.3 (+2.1/+3.7) Too bad gaining isn't my goal, as I'd be killing it! :haha: Dinner was fabulous!! I usually skip dessert - but they had a turtle cheesecake that had my name ALL over it. Today is a "normal" day . Alcohol Goal Met ✔
2/9 219.8 (-.5/+3.2) Back in the right direction but going to need everything in short of a miracle to get back to starting round weight. Oh well...maybe starting weight from round 212?????

@Kayjay1960
I'm so sorry you had to experience that evil lady, clearly not a fan of animals! Try not to let her poor attitude affect you - I'm guessing something isn't right in her life to be so mean and evil to you. I think you were just in the wrong spot at the wrong time if there are so many other dogs around.
Most dogs don't poop on command and I know my dog actually marks his territory by pooping vs pee so I'm always caring poop bags with me!
Your dog pooped, you cleaned it up. Done - end of story. Don't beat yourself up just because evil lady was having a bad day! Get back on track today~ You got this!!4 -

HW: 300 pounds (September 2020)
2023 SW: 288.9 (Jan 9, 2023)
Round goals: 64 oz. water and track EVERYTHING
I just saw this today, so I'll go ahead and catch up yesterday's log.
Day/Weight/Comment
2/1: 278.5 - Happy to see the 270s again. Definitely has me motivated to keep going. Struggling with cravings.
2/2: 277.4 - I have no clue how I dropped an entire pound since yesterday. I wanted to eat the world yesterday... but I managed to control it. Munched on some pretzels, but I did log them. Genuinely surprised to see this weight today.
2/3: - 277.2 - Still moving the right direction.... happy to see it. I indulged in the work-provided pizza for lunch yesterday. Then had a scoop of ice cream later in the day. MFP says I still had 500 calories to eat (after it calculated my steps), but I was curious what WW would say. 68 points!! That's like 2 days of eating, but really only about 1500 calories. WW might be out here starving people. CRAZY!
2/4: - 276.4 - good day. Stayed within my calories.
2/5: - 278.9 - yikes. I expected this though. Yesterday was date day. We hiked a new trail, had lunch, and saw Avatar in the theater. While I was within my calories, I ate lots of fried foods and buttered popcorn. It’ll come back off. Hopefully quickly. 😅
2/6: - 278.8 - I hoped for a bit more of a drastic change, but it’s fine… as long as I get back down to a loss before this round is over. Ha! Back to work today, so hopefully tomorrow’s weight will reflect better choices.
2/7: - 278.1 - So glad I’m back to a loss this round. My happy scale app predicts that I’ll be 200lbs in November by losing 2lbs a week. 9 months until ONEderland!?!?! Heck yeah! It made me even more determined to stick to tracking for at least a year and see where I’m at. Even if I’m not 200 lbs… I will be much closer than I am today.
2/8: - 277.9 - Yesterday was a really good eating day. I didn’t think it would take this long to recover from the weekend… It’ll make me think twice the next time. I could be like 274 by now! I say this, but the superbowl is this weekend. GO CHIIIEEEFFFSSS!!!!! I’ll be stress eating I’m sure. Ha!
2/9: - 276.9 - Finally! Today I have a snow day, but already managed to get some activity by shoveling the driveway. Hoping to lose another 0.5 by tomorrow to be back at my lowest for this round.
2/10: -
Total round weight loss/gain: -1.6 lbs

Round 213
02/01 - 177.9 - going in the right direction!
02/02 - 176.7 - Nice to see a drop this morning. I finally drank 80oz water! Hit all my goals yesterday. I changed my white flour goal from none to minimum flour of any kind. I haven't been eating white or whole wheat. Now that I've been off sugar/flour for 11 days, I still get amazed at how much your cravings subside if you can just get past the first week. I'm going to allow flour some time for things like adding panko to casseroles, but not planning on adding it any time soon because I have a bad case of eczema, and I think both contribute to my inflammation.
I've also changed my calorie goal to less than 1700, which is probably a little less than maintenance. I'll still shoot for 1200 to 1400, but I've learned that being ultra strict just backfires on me. In the past, if I went over 1200, I would feel like I failed and binge. Now, I finally learned that if you need to go over, then eat something with 100 to 200 calories - it's okay - you'll lose 1/2 a pound instead of a pound. I have no set end-goal except to care enough about myself to get healthy and stop the damage I'm causing from being unhealthy (or from "dieting" in an unhealthy way).
02/03 - 176.7 - Hit all goals again! I'm still struggling to quit adding so much salt. Is it true that once you've cut down, you really don't want as much? I never got that far to know. I tried before to put 1/4 tsp in a baggie and only take from it each day. I'll try again.

02/07 - 178.1 - I thought it would be up more than this. Four days ago, I had one of those moments most everyone (including many on this forum at this very moment ) has had to deal with where everyday life is taking place and all of sudden your world stops with a diagnosis or a phone call about a loved one). I had the same thing in June but it was my medical condition, this time it's my mother-in-law. I won't go in detail but prognosis is dire - very sad - she is the kindest, most selfless and caring person I've ever known.
We've been on the road and got home last night. For goal-tracking above, I've added for days missed, not only because of the circumstances this time, but because I'm 100% done with beating myself up any longer. So, back on track today.
02/08 - 177.5 I didn't track yesterday. I was more tired from the 8 hour drive the day before than I thought I would be. It may be the no sleep, but I just don't handle expressway traffic very well any longer - is it just getting older?
Or, is it that I'm just not use to it any longer. If anyone has been to Maine, you know we don't have a major rush hour issue, to say the least - two lane highway for the most part. And I LOVE it after driving 12 years in Atlanta traffic.
02/09 - 177.4 My weight is holding steady and that's now all I want out of this round. Still haven't tracked, or exercised, or drank enough water. I'm planning on making today a better day.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

@pezhed Happy Birthday tomorrow!! You're going to have a great weekend! Sounds very exciting.6

@Kayjay1960 IMHO It's her problem and not yours. You don't know her and don't really have a vested interest in her. She has shown you who she is, so I doubt that you want her to be a lifelong friend (lol). There's a great story that I love about two monks and a woman. Do you know that story? I searched and found it! Here is one version >> [url="
https://youtu.be/d71l_cJGlKM"[/url].
I can't always do it, especially if it's a family matter, but I try to put down the woman [or whatever it is] on the other side of that river instead of continuing to carry her [it] on my shoulders. The load can get really heavy!
Also, I like Stephen Covey's "Circle of Influence" coaching too. Here is a good explanation:

And, last but not least, and introduced to me on another thread is Dance Marshall. If that lady is mean to you again, come home and dance to one of the Dance Marshall videos. They're short, entertaining, and make me laugh at myself.

Silver lining of having extra fat on me is that I have enough fat stores to get me through illness. I expected to get and try to stay around 132-131 this round. I can't say I'm sad to see it lower. Being sick must burn a lot of calories. Now back to giving me the nutrients I need.
2/1 133.8 logged 1900 calories, high carbs but from fruits, rice, and potatoes (over 200g of carbs) (31g of fiber)
2/2 134.8 logged 2116 calories, high carbs again, same as before (over 200 grams of carbs) (40g of fiber)
2/3 135.8 logged 2500 calories, same as before but twice as many carbs as usual (533g of carbs today) (73g of fiber)
2/4 133.0 Anomaly? I had so much food yesterday and so many carbs?! logged 1100 calories, same as before but just less of everything (127 g of carbs) (22g of fiber)
2/5 132.0 logged 1626 calories, another high carb day (215 g of carbs) (29g of fiber)
2/6 130.8 logged 550 calories, (59g carbs and 8g of fiber). Under the weather today and very little appetite.
2/7 129.0 Sick and dehydrated.
2/8 129.0 When will this end? Drinking as much water as I can.
2/9 129.0 I'm finally on the recovery. Looking forward to being able to enjoy a salmon dinner tonight!

Well last round was a bit of a bust. I ended higher than when I started but thats ok!
Goal 1 for this round: Use the "day completed" button at the end of every day to make sure I log everything.
Goal 2 for this round: start this 4 week treadmill plan (tomorrow) to do something different and get some cardio in: https://blog.myfitnesspal.com/4-week-treadmill-training-plan/
2/1 197.4 my body likes this weight apparently as I spent most of round 213 there, haha. Checked off my journal.
2/2 199.0 Had some fresh baked bread and homemade butter last night with some Guinness ale. delicious, but here's the spike! Checked off my journal.
2/3 196.6 So excited haven't seen this number in ages!
2/4 198.8 short lived due to eating dinner out. went over calories but not by a lot. Checked off my journal.
2/5 199.0 ugh weekend salty water weight. Had burger and onion rings last night, only ate half but obviously not helping the situation here. ate over maintenance again (only a little but still). Checked off my journal so that's good, today's goal to stay well under calorie goal and drink lots of water, treadmill challenge and sauna with my sister this morning too.
2/6 199.0
2/7 198.6 a little progress~ checked off my journal.
2/8 197.4 ok if we can just hold here or lower.... ~ checked off my journal.
2/9 198.4 but why. ate below calories and checked off my journal. tomorrow is another day 🙃

Hi all! Starting back with these challenges. I’m a Mom of 2, in my 40s, and just diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Trying to make some healthy changes.
OSW: 215.5
R213 SW: 211.8
GW: 165
2/1 – 210.5 – Looks like I shed a lot of water weight yesterday. The new thyroid meds and low-sodium diet have been helping me regulate my water levels. Thyroid patients tend to retain a lot of water. Today is elliptical day for exercise.
2/2 – 210.6 – I thought I would see a large jump back up in weight because that seems to be the trend for me, but not today. I’m just shy of the first 5lb milestone from where I started. Today is yoga day.
2/3 – 211.2 – I had some pizza yesterday. It was within my calories, but higher in sodium, so some water retention seems normal. I’ll try not to do that too often, but the low-sodium diet is important for my health. Friday = Elliptical day!
2/4 – 210.5 – I exercised yesterday even though I didn’t feel like it, and I felt better after. Since it’s Saturday I try to get outside for a 2 mile walk if the weather is nice. Today, the weather is reasonable. Getting outside in the fresh air is a treat during the winter! I was grocery shopping today and I discovered… shopping for low-sodium is HARD ☹
2/5 – 210.0 – Going for another walk outside today even though it will be colder than yesterday. Looking forward to warmer weather. I also got a low-sodium cookbook so I’ll be experimenting with new recipes 😊
2/6 – 209.6 – Yesterday I took our dog for a walk and a trip to the dog park. Nice, relaxed movement as exercise.
2/7 – 210.1 – My daughter has a school performance tonight, so we’re eating dinner out before. I already know what I’m going to order to stay within calories. Normally I would splurge a little, but I don’t feel like it today. Going to try to stay on track and also do some yoga in the afternoon before we go.
2/8 – 211.3 – The sodium in restaurant food hit me hard. Hopefully that will flush out in a day or two – I hate the feeling of water bloat. It makes my hands feel puffy and it’s distracted when I work.
2/9 – 210.5 – A little bit of bouncing back and forth this week. Luckily, I have a trending weight spreadsheet to give me a better idea of where my stable weight is to keep me from getting frustrated by these day to day fluctuations.
2/10 –
9 -
RSW - 123.6 lb
RGW - 119.4 lb
2/1 - DNW (travel & debauchery)
2/2 - DNW (same)
2/3 - 123.6 - First I have to confess my sins. I went from 119.4 lb on Monday to 123.6 lb today! Gah. I was out of control for my whole trip, essentially. The drinks were flowing and there was food everywhere. I had late night snacks every night thanks to my lowered inhibitions and having no responsibilities other than sitting in meetings. Phew. I know a lot of this is water but there is probably more than a pound of legit gain I need to get rid of. My goals for the rest of the round are to fast a minimum of 16 hours each day and to move my body for at least 30 minutes each day. Kicking things off with a longer fast today. Planning to make it to dinner time without eating. No need for hugs. I know what I did and what I need to do!
2/4 - 122.0. I did OMAD yesterday plus a 15-minute Peloton ride and 30-minute run. Going to take some discipline to get the travel weight off! I did a 45-minute Peloton ride this morning and have been tracking my food so far today. We’re attending a birthday party this afternoon but I plan to just have a couple bites of my kid’s cake 😇
2/5 - 122.0
2/6 - 121.6. Honestly surprised this wasn't higher this morning; it may catch up with me tomorrow. I didn't do very well this weekend. Today should be pretty easy to be disciplined since the kids are back in daycare today. Yesterday afternoon we had a family-wide snack attack. I have trouble resisting snacks when everyone else is having them. Then I had nighttime snacks while my husband ate nothing. Why? Ah well, today is a recovery run on the tread and probably a dog walk. I think I'll throw in some light strength training, too. Happy Monday everyone!
2/7 - 121.4. Okay, my goal of getting back to my pre-travel weight is looking a little distant right now. Maybe I did do substantial damage. Crazy that I did more damage during a short business trip than I did during my family vacation over the holidays. I've really gotten out of the habit of tracking and need to start again. I had a snack attack again last night. My birthday is the last day of the challenge and would really like to reach my goal! Yesterday I walked the dogs, did a 30-minute treadmill jog, and did 20 minutes of power yoga. I kind of hurt my back doing yoga from twisting too deeply, so today I think I'll just walk the dogs. And track! my! food!
2/8 - 121.4 again. I did track yesterday, so I made progress there, but I landed right at what my maintenance calories probably are so it absolutely makes sense that I've stopped losing. Today I'll track again with the intent of having a deficit at the end of the day (aka avoiding chocolate and booze). I'm also due for a Peloton ride and dog walk.
2/9 - 120! Not counting on making my RGW because I'm going out tonight, but I do plan to work out and fast until we go out today if I can make it. DH and I are going to a fancy dinner and concert in town for an early birthday celebration for me. Today commences a series of celebrations, actually! Today is dinner and the concert, tomorrow (actual birthday) is family dinner out in my hometown, and Saturday is skiing! It's a festive time of year here. My youngest is turning 2 next weekend so next challenge round is sure to be a doozy with all the festivities.

HSW: 211.6 lb (Aug 2021)
SW: 191.1 lb (Oct 2022)
Round 208 EW: 175.5 lb (-0.5)
Round 210 EW: 173.7 lb (-1.8)
Round 211 EW: 173.2 lb (-0.5)
Round 212 EW: 172.0 lb (-1.2)
Round 213 SW: 172.0 lb
My goals are to not eat my children's left overs and to give myself smaller portions for dinner.
2/1: 171.3 lb
Achieved my goals for the day.
2/2: 170.4 lb
Not sure why the sudden bigger drops in weight. It is unusual for me but I have just finished TOM. I expect my weight will level or it bounce up in the next few days. I have discovered dried apricots are relatively low calorie and I am enjoying having a few with my cup of tea. I always feel I need something with my tea so the apricots work well.
2/3: 170.0 lb
I was very inactive but stuck to my calorie budget.
2/4: 170.0 lb
It was pizza night again but I stuck to my calorie budget. I really need to exercise. Tantalizing-ly close to the 160s but I suspect my scales will play with me for a while before letting me get there!
2/5: 169.3 lb
A bit of a surprise. Ate lots of fruit and banana bread at a friend's place. Skipped dinner though because I was so full. I did estimate my calories and I was on budget so it's probably just the missing weight of dinner in my system.
2/6: 169.5 lb
Achieved my goals for the day.
2/7: 169.1 lb
Achieved my goals for the day.
2/8: 168.2 lb
Achieved my goals for the day. I seem to be getting better at making good choices consistently which a few people have told me is the key to weight loss.
2/9: 168.0 lb
Achieved my goals for the day. As of today I have lost 20kg (around 44 pounds).

Day/Weight/Comment
2/1: 131.4 - Okay, focused on eating yesterday with good results. Today is a travel day
2/2: DNW - Successful travel day despite our flight being delayed by over an hour. Got a workout in and kept the calories down.
2/3: DNW - Got my exercise in including weights. Ate pretty sensibly all day but had a mini-binge of some caramel peanut M&Ms (who knew those existed). Didn’t go too far into the binge and accounted for all of it on my diary.
2/4: DNW - Good exercise, dinner out with friends at a Mexican restaurant and then back to our hosts house for more wine and snacks. Too many sweets.
2/5: DNW - Great exercise, dinner with extended family - heavy on the carbs and sweets (and wine)
2/6: DNW - Got my exercise in and ate well in the early part of the day. However, party for my MIL saw me consuming a lot of snacky food which really adds up calorie wise. Definitely exceeded my calorie goals for the day significantly
2/7: DNW - Yesterday was my MIL’s actual birthday so another dinner out and celebration back at the house afterwards. I didn’t feel 100% the first half of the day so didn’t do any exercise.
2/8: DNW - Travel day today. Yesterday worked out, did a bunch of clothes shopping, which I rarely do, and then salad for dinner.
2/9: 131.2 - Planes, trains and automobiles - the return trip! Amazingly both our Amtrak and our flight departed and arrived early. A friend picked us up from the airport so that was even better, Got my workout in before leaving the east coast. Food was bunch of snacky things though. Given everything I ate and drank this past week, I'm surprised I held essentially steady weight wise. We'll see tomorrow though as I always have a water/salt bump after traveling.
