Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 214
Replies
-
It's my first time with this challenge, but I like the shorter duration; it seems mentally easier to keep track of. I gained 8 pounds over the holiday season (ended up about 103.5 lbs), but I'm trying to take daily walks and do a quick workout every day. I've been able to keep my self-control much better over the past week, so I'm happy with that start.
2/11 - 101
2/12 - 100.5 A little bit of loss, but it seems a lot for one day. I wonder if it's because I drank one less cup of water than usual yesterday.

I tend to get more out of a Podcast that explains fat bias and diet myths. Some how it is easier for me to make decisions for my body when instead of hearing how damaged I am. I start thinking about how damaging the world is and the effect on my body.
It works for me, we’re all different.

Big surprise losing 700g, I was naughty with biscuits yesterday. The last are eaten now and I won’t buy anymore.
2/12 114.8
I think the biscuits from 2 days ago got me because I behaved yesterday.

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
R213 EW: 210.3
GW: 165
2/11 – 209.6 – It’s a Saturday and the weather is nice, so I headed out work a nice long walk!
2/12 – 210.2 – My weight continues to bounce up and down. It gets somewhat discouraging, but thankfully my “trend weight” continues to move downward. I have to remember that my roller coaster ride is a marathon – a slow journey. I’ll get there.

I took a few weeks off for travel and laziness. Then a week ago I badly sprained my ankle. My scale is currently going in the wrong direction, so it’s time for me to turn things around!
64 years old, female and ready to creep downward again!

Just trying to get back to moving easier and healthier. I refuse to be in a wheelchair again.
HW- 205
SW- 1/2022- 186
Every day is a kindness to myself.
2/11- 164- It's been a hard couple of days. Slacking off wasn't worth it. I would probably be at my goal by now. Husband wanted to go out for breakfast. I had coffee. Thankfully their coffee is really good.
2/12- 163.8- I took out bacon so breakfast was at home. The whole house smells like bacon. :P Weekends are so hard. When I’m home by myself it’s a lot easier. Super Bowl, but I just made us a regular dinner. No snackies to contend with, I would have failed.

Christine from Burlington, Ontario, Canada 😊
4th Round
Age 53, 5’5”
Heaviest Weight: 345+ lbs (my highest known weight prior to gastric bypass in Aug 2005)
Weight in March 2022: 220 lbs
Weight at beginning of my 1st Round: 157.6 lbs
Weight beginning this Round: 150.2 lbs
Goal Weight: 145
This round's daily goals:
1. Under 1300 cals per day - ☹☹
2. Jogging with dog at least once every day -
3. 5 mins daily affirmations - ☹☹
4. Zero work absences -
2/11 – 150.2 lbs - I did my jogging/walking today with the dog which was super fun! I had a great time! I also didn't skip work but today wasn't a work day for me.
However, I neglected to do my affirmations and I didn't stay under 1300 cals as I started to get a really sore stomach before bed and had to eat something to settle my stomach. To start off on a positive note I want to reflect on my successes over the last 3 rounds: Got off the ice-cream sammich habit, started getting closer to my protein and water goals, started taking my iron and supplements regularly, and lost 7.4 lbs. That is pretty frickin amazing. Thanks again, @quiltingjaine! This round I want to focus on getting closer to my goal weight of 145 lbs. I ordered a “running leash” off of Amazon, so I can try jogging with the dog. I have always wanted to run, since I was a kid in the 80s, but I was always too heavy and too afraid of hurting my knees. Now that my weight is lower, I think I can try it, and see how it goes. Bear in mind, my new rescue dog is 72 lbs and very strong, so if he sees a rabbit and I am taken off guard I am going down hard. 😊
2/12 – 149 lbs - Well, I guess I had a premonition about falling on my face (in my notes from yesterday). I ordered a new pair of slip-on shoes off the internet. They were meant specifically for jumping into quickly when I need to take the dog out for a quick pee break. (We live on the 15th floor and sometimes I need to get ready quickly.) I wore them for the first time yesterday, but I found they were too big and were flopping around on my feet. I was out with the dog and all of a sudden SLAM! I tripped somehow (I can’t even blame it on the dog) and I was FLAT on my face. I did real damage to my hands and my right knee, unfortunately. ☹ No jogging for me today. Luckily the dog did not run away when I fell, even though I dropped the leash. And some good Samaritans stopped to help me up. My knee is killing me. AUGH. Edit: I went out and did my jog/walking after all. I can only do a bit anyways, as I am not used to jogging so I have to build up my stamina. It’s pretty fun, though. 😊 And the dog loves it!

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 213 (my 145th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine.
Goal for this round; again I'm not looking at a specific number, instead I need to aim to cut out chocolate & biscuits 'cuz I can't stop at 1 or even 2, it starts me on a downward addictive spiral, I want to avoid them both for the whole 10 days, it’s just 10 days, they will still be there after that!! So that and any loss is my aim. 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 taken me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 130. Healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.End of round 213 – 139.4

2/12 138.6 – nice to see the scale start to move; my reward for being more in control! 😊 9.45 miles walked, 77% exercise calories eaten back (Saturday pizza night).
2/13 138.6 – no structured walking as DD & family came down for Sunday roast lunch, did walk up to the local park with DGS x 2. A little over on calories, but no binging.

2/11 154.4 (trend 157.5) That's quite a whoosh! I felt very different yesterday, loads of energy, I couldn't sit still, and I was in a really positive mood. Hopefully this is a taste of things to come and not a blip.
2/12 157.2 (trend 157.4) Oh for goodness sake. I guess I was just really dehydrated yesterday then. Trying desperately to not feel too disheartened. 5 miles walked.
2/13 157.0 (trend 157.4) Well I reacted to my disappointment and frustration yesterday by having a carb binge. Only 150 cals over but most of what I ate consisted of cereal bars, biscuits and breadsticks. Zero exercise, just a trip to the dump to get rid of garden waste. Feeling predictably bloated today.

02/11 -193.0- (Trend weight 195.7)
02/12 -193.6- (Trend weight 195.5) Well, it looks like my little last minute mini-binges during this past week have shown up. I’ve just got to deal with it. Yesterday was a perfect day filled with pre-logged food and lots of movement and exercise. No sleep again though. They have changed my Restless Leg Syndrome medication and it has to be ramped up over a 90 day period. So what I am getting is not enough. Lack of sleep does affect my losses so I hope it won’t stand in the way of my goals. Thursday night: 1 hr 42 min., Friday night: 2 hrs 47 min., last night: 4 hrs 7 min. That’s just not good enough. Tomorrow is travel with my biggest eating friend. Love her, but food is her main focus. I will try to make good choices and ignore her plate at the restaurant. It is a bit of a far travel to see the endocrinologist (finally). It’s been a long 6 month waiting list to get in. There, we will make decisions on my diabetes treatment plan since what I am doing now is clearly not working. I’m praying insulin is not the answer and that the doctor will give me a medication change (non-insulin) and more time for self-improvement. I have lost some weight since I first signed up for the diabetes center and I have improved my glucose numbers. However, if she just goes by my last A1C (a six month study) which was before all the positive changes (and right through the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays), I’m in trouble. Fingers crossed!
02/13 -192.2- (Trend weight 195.2) Travel today. Heading out early. Pleased with my progress. Yesterday was a low physical activity day but a good low cal/carb day. I think maybe my body needed the physical break. No sleep again last night 2 broken hours.

2/13 - 163.3 - Definitely bloated. Also sleep issues. BF's alarm went off at 3:40 and he was gone by 4. If my body cooperated, I'd have woken up at 6 to do my workout. Unfortunately I didn't doze off again until about 545 and decided to sleep until 7...but the dogs intervened at 615ish. I'm so cranky and groggy and just bleh. I have a headache like no other (luckily no migraine). I put on workout clothes to remind me I have to do my workout today, either at lunch or after work before a puppy walk. I'm pushing water (though I drank quite a bit of water yesterday, I definitely need more) and I'm going to try to fast until lunch (should be easier with no early morning workout) and pre-plan/log a balanced lunch to immediately start off-setting the Galentine's Day and Superbowl weight gain. I'm simply glad all that's now over. Also, since I'm in charge of dinner, I know what we're having and I can log it first thing. Nice thing about being in charge of dinner!

Previous Day's Comments2/11 - Very slight jump up. It's a combination of things, I'm sure. Despite my probiotics, I'm sure they are not eliminating all dairy bloat. We had homemade pepperoni pizza last night. My first attempt! We all agreed better (and cheaper) than frozen. But whew, cheese. Always gets me. Also, TMI, didn't really happen yesterday, but on the normal schedule today so all good there. Not sure today's plans other than my workout schedule says to do 15-30 minutes minimum of fun movement activity. I'll either walk the dogs or do a yoga practice before bed depending on what ends up happening today. I have pre-logged what I know of for tomorrow (Galentine's Brunch then Superbowl Party). Despite my plans to make a best-effort, I'm using today as as super healthy day to help balance out what I anticipate as a super not healthy day tomorrow. And if it ends up being somewhat healthy, that much better for me! We are leaving at halftime anyway as BF has to be at the airport by 4-430 Monday morning for a business trip. More on those plans later, but I've planned my path that will be the most likely to provide success. Not sure if I'll have time to check in tomorrow, depends on when I wake up vs when I need to leave to get to brunch on time. I'll be back Monday, though!
2/12 - Oh, a huge drop after what I expected was going to be a tick up or two! Guess the bloat being gone and TMI back on track did the trick like I thought? Yesterday was not as super healthy as I'd like. I did have a nice balanced "brunch" which held me over for the most part until dinner (I had 2 little mandarin oranges for a snack and sweet treat). BF wanted chili cheese dogs for dinner so that's what we had, but I went very light on the cheese. I kept it mindful and luckily had JUST ENOUGH calories in my budget leftover. According to Fitbit, I was 34 calories over while MFP said I was exactly at 0! My activity for the day wasn't "fun" but I felt better: deep cleaned the kitchen. BF woke up so I didn't get to clean out the fridge to wipe that down (maybe while BF is gone and I'm alone in the house during the day Monday-Wednesday. A work call listening activity? Beats sitting at a desk listening). Sweeping and mopping didn't happen though the poor robot vacuum tried its best. 2 dogs with fallen dried leaves, dried grass, and mud? Poor floors have been swept and mopped/scrubbed so much this week alone, I'm surprised there's still a floor left! Here's to hoping I can stick to my pre-planned, pre-logged day and NOT having the usual 2 week long Superbowl "hangover" (and I mean food baby hangover, not alcohol. BF and I both have to drive 45 minutes home!)

GIVE ME 10 DAYS – ROUND 214
Round 214
February 11 - 20, 2023
61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
Goal for 214. Make the scale move and leave that stubborn number, 142.4. Diversify my exercise. Become more active on this group. I had been hoping to lose 5 lb/month for Feb, March, April, which would mean making it to 138.4 by Feb 28. Will accomplish what I can, as anything is better than what I have been doing the last year and a half. Habits are changing for the good.
History:Exercise & Supplements
Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, and a DGS. We have three parents, 88(father), 86(mother), 84(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Selling family home distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse. A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

Day/Weight/Comment
2/11 – 141.6 tracked and stayed under, 4.95 mile walk yesterday and FINALLY scale moved…… a bit.
2/12 – 141.4 attended a walk/run first thing (7 am), then spend the day cooking and cleaning for a dinner guest. Planned and pre-tracked my day including doing “dessert for two” for the two men and not myself. Felt like a good host but controlled what I had. I did eat base plus all my exercise calories. But happy with how I handled it. For today, I have sorted out how to face the leftovers, and still be thoughtful. Plan is instead of a large dinner of leftovers, half is going towards lunch, while the other half stays dinner. I get my goodies, still have three meals (instead of starving all day to fit the dinner) and stay on track.
2/13 – 141.2 yesterday, did a long (4 lap) group walk just to keep my muscles moving as the “walk/run” was a definite shock to my leg muscles. They were tender yesterday, and very sore first thing this morning. Today is going to be a food challenge (Key West), but that is good. I need to practice enjoying life while making better choices. It is the only way this works in the long run, and isn’t that our real goal? Pleased to have gone down a little bit, though I am surprised as I can feel fluid retention in my fingers.

72 yo Oregonian who has lost over 50 lbs three different times. First time with no support. Second time with MFP and the third time with TOP (take off pounds sensibly. On 2/9 I weighed 195 returning from a vacation in New Orleans. A trip to Mexico in November is my motivation to LOOSE. I am a nudist and my skin is comfortable at any weight yet the required swimsuit in Mexico is NOT comfortable.
2/11….AF..Had a great calorie count day. Went for a 2 mile walk for the first time in ages. I was shocked when I entered the raw peanuts in a shell in my food diary. WHAT 11 calories each peanut…:( While healthy I was out of control eating them. No alcohol or empty calories.
2/12…AF!!! Kept my calorie count down from my limit. Got off my lazy butt and went for a two mile walk. Feeling better about myself. Just got back from 4 days in New Orleans. Had to buy new jeans in a bigger size for the trip…shopping for jeans motivated me. It was an awful experience.

Hi All - Robyn here in SE Virginia. I'll be doing mostly strength and Pilates workouts during this round while continuing to recover from foot surgery. My primary goals are: 1) no unplanned snacking; and, 2) eating dinner by 7:30. I WILL be more disciplined this round!

This round three goals:
#1 Do not weigh myself.
#2 Strength train or yoga every day, if only for 5 minutes.
#3 No added sugar or processed foods or alcohol.
Wish me luck!
2/11 DNW was easier than expected. I chugged a bunch of water to deter me. Met all three goals today. Pomegranate for dessert. Kombucha instead of alcohol. Mini strength exercises throughout the day.
2/12 DNW Goals met but an intense sugar craving hit late at night. Dates and apricots didn't help. I Googled what causes sugar cravings and it said it could be dehydration or magnesium deficiency. I drank a bunch of magnesium water (Natural Calm) and had some dark chocolate and the craving completely went away. This was really interesting to me and will be a huge calorie saver if it works every time. One more week till the reveal.

The weather has been good and the almond trees are blooming, so the bees have something to do. At least the bees are nice again this year and, I read where lavender and cinnamon oil keep the bees away and I e been using that.

Hi, I'm Charissa, ready to go for Round 214/5.
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! And boy do I need to refocus this round
Had a tough round 213 with lots of celebrations and dinners out. This round starts with a birthday party, yet another dinner and then Superbowl. Monday - no reason to not be back on track!

Another round friends!!! I'm really enjoying checking in with all of you every morning as part of my motivation routine...so far it's working again (I used these 10 day challenges years ago and should have started back much sooner). Hubby and I have a trip to Mexico booked at the end of March, we missed having the big celebrations we wanted for our 25th anniversary and both of our 50th birthdays over the worst of the pandemic so this will be our make up trip. I'd like to get down below 170 before we go...and then hop back on here when we get back to get down to my ultimate target.

2/11 - 178.0 - lighter walk yesterday, saved some calories for dinner as both boys were out and I made risotto with lemon trout and green beans for hubby and I for a nice date dinner. The risotto is a bit of a calorie bomb but worth it every now and then. Stuck to one serving of risotto but had more wine than I should have.
2/12 - 178.0 - Sunshine yesterday (today too!!!) meant head to the woods! The trails are a little janky from the thaws and freezes last week but do-able with spikes on my boots.
2/13 - 180.8 - ????!!!! I'm feeling puffy and "backed up" so must be retaining water for some reason, didn't think I overdid sodium or carbs but who knows...bodies are weird. Had another lovely walk/hike/skate in the woods in the sunshine yesterday and missed the super-bowl as I was at the rink, DS(15) had a game, they won, and he played amazing, only let one in the net (he's a goalie).
