(Su• g Prot; ozs water)It seems that I can't say no to bread and crackers. For me, that is an underlying worry that causes me to eat so many bread carbs. It may have been concern for my brother. I had not spoken with him for about a month. Called him over the weekend and we talked for a few hours. I feel settled now.

This morning, I saw the following quoted and immediately thought of tracking on MFP.
"“What gets measured gets improved.”, Peter Drucker8 -
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.

2/15 101.5 Yesterday I killed my progress since the 11th with a bigger dinner and some sweets, as well as drinking less water, but I imagine it'll come off in the next couple days. Not great though; I held off all day and finally gave in for dinner. Oops.

Round 211 EW: 173.2 lbs (-0.5)
Round 212 EW: 172.0 lbs (-1.2)
Round 213 EW: 167.6 lbs (-4.4)
My goals for this round will be the same as the last round: to not eat my children's leftovers and to eat smaller portions for dinner. I am also very sedentary so I will aim to get my heart rate above 100 bps for at least 22 minutes each day.
2/11: 167.6 lbs
Achieved my goals for the day.
2/12: 168.7 lbs
Injured my hip so I don't think I will be able to achieve my goal this round of getting my heart rate above 100 for at least 22 minutes per day. Otherwise I achieved my other goals for the day.
2/13: 169.3 lbs
Had too many papadums at dinner. No exercise either because of my sore hip. I think realistically, because of the big drop last round, I might end up 2 or so pounds with this round. I need to mentally prepare for this so I don't give up. Time to look at my inspiration slide show (which is just a collection of photos and quotes) to help keep me on track.
2/14: 168.7 lbs
Still haven't exercised. Ate within calorie budget though.
2/15: 168.2 lbs
Achieved goals except for exercise. Hip still sore. I hope I can still lose weight while not exercising. We shall see.

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!

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.
2/13…AF…190#. Usually I wait to the next morning before reporting. Tonight I figure if I report todays it might keep me from eating while watching a movie. Calories are less than allowed. Shopped making good food choices. Just did the produce department. I try to be on a plant base diet so it’s pretty easy to shop.
2/14…188.4. I am isolated in the snow at a resort vacation location I own. I only brought healthy foods so that has helped. The difficult part is portion control. Managing to stay below my allowed calorie count. Plus skipping my nightly adult drink. Day six no empty alcohol calories.
2/15…189.2. Way below my calorie count goal. No snacking and all healthy food choices. Evenings find me at my weakest Early in this morning I pre-added my entire day. Including 4 cups of air popped popcorn for an evening snack. Oh and an apple. Sometimes when I do this I can subtract some things the next morning. For right now it is keeping me on track. 7 days no empty alcohol calories. Wylers peach tea for me.8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
2/11: 130.1 - Not really sure how I got here. Had a sugar binge last night. I did work out later in the day (just before dinner) so don’t know if that helped at all.
2/12: 131.2 - here is the bump up I was expecting yesterday. Had dinner out at a friends house. Delicious all around. I did get my workout in so hopefully that helped a little bit.
2/13: 131.6 - We did a bit of game day cooking for just the two of us. Got our workouts in though.
2/14: 131.6 -Still eating leftovers. Good workout
2/15: 132.1 - To many sweets

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.

2/14 139.6 – Sundays excess calories showing up ? 12.12 miles walked, half of exercise calories eaten back.

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☹
3. 5 mins daily affirmations - ☹☹☹☹☹
4. Zero work absences -<3<3<3
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!
2/13 – 150.2 lbs – My knee was too sore to do jogging. I fell again (this time the dog body-checked me into the closet when we were playing). I am getting too old for this. Lol. I was present for work today, even though I was late and having a tonne of anxiety about logging in. So I’m calling it a win. (My attendance has been spectacularly poor lately, due to my mental health.)
2/14 – 149.6 lbs – Am I at maintenance, without knowing it? I can’t seem to eat 1300 cals, which was the plan for this week. I am not sure why I can’t, because when I was in active eating disorder territory I was easily eating less than 1200. I do not feel like my eating disorder is active right now, though, which is a really good thing. (And surprising, to be honest, since my mental health is not great at the moment.) I find I am not being nearly so critical of myself about my eating/exercise, which is fantastic. But it may be because I am too busy being extremely critical about myself regarding my work!! LOL! Oops. I went to work and although I was not the most productive, I tried my best. And that is all I can do.
2/15 – 150.2 lbs – did not do my walk/jog, and was waaaaay over on my calories… all I did was work today, for my full hours. So… can we just all agree that it was a good day?

***************************************
2/9 157.0 (trend 158.1)
2/10 156.8 (trend 158.0)
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.
2/14 157.0 (trend 157.3) 1 hour at the gym doing cardio, rest of the day working on a job application form. I have booked an appointment for Wednesday to get my blood tested for thyroid levels. Calories slightly below as I had no appetite.
2/15 155.2 (trend 157.0) Yay! Very glad to see this drop, and I know it's not down to dehydration this time as I drank at least 4 litres of water yesterday. I changed my usual breakfast from a banana and 100g yoghurt to 2 soft boiled eggs with 125g asparagus tips, I don't know if that made any difference to my digestion.
1 hr cardio at the gym. I really wanted to use the weights machines, but as it's school half term here, there were groups of teenagers everywhere
and it was getting a bit crowded.
I'm aware I need to work on cutting down my salt intake, which is going to be a challenge as I rely on it to add flavour to bland food and it helps me cut down on fat/carbs. I also need to see how I can add more protein to my diet without increasing calories or losing fibre. I'm averaging 37g of protein a day, which is 15g short of the recommended amount. I have a blood test today to check my thyroid levels, hoping this will shed some light on things.
Oh, and I applied for a part time job yesterday, after being out of formal work for over 4 years, eeek!
2/16 155.4 (trend 156.8) Happy to have stayed relatively stable for 2 days, phew! Tried out some of the resistance machines at the gym, it was fun except for the creepy bloke who kept moving to machines facing mine and staring at me while he worked out. I scowled at him so he moved away and went to stand right behind a young woman while she lifted weights, very off-putting and uncomfortable for her.
I woke up really hungry at 6am, I don't usually eat until 11am but will have to have something soon as my growling stomach is deafening!

Any job is a good job! Sounds like a good way to get back into the labour market and get adjusted to working outside the home again. Nothing stopping you from making changes later if you wish to do so.
As for interviews, one suggestion is to write down things you want to say, in advance of the interview. Then just practice reading and saying them out loud, or even writing them down, if you are a tactile learner. So then if you do get nervous during the interview, you can at least call on the few things you practiced, and they might just pop out of your mouth and save the day!
Good luck and let me know how it works out!

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!

I won't be able to weigh again until next Tuesday. I think that will be a good thing. I don't plan to track my food but will be mindful of my eating/drinking.

02/14 -193.8- (Trend weight 195.0)
02/15 -194.0- (Trend weight 194.9) A good day yesterday at home. Weight is a 0.2 smidgen up but that is likely from no TMI and residual from travel two days ago. Boy oh boy, when they say that weight loss is not linear they are not kidding! I looked back over my public mfp posts and records over the past 9 months. It felt like I was up & down on the same pounds the entire time. But I found that my highest weight topped in at 206.8 (let’s call it 207) on June 15th. While it was up and down in the same 2-3 pound range A LOT, overall in the big picture, my scale weight is down about 13 pounds since then. I’m not saying that is a lot for most folks (it is for ME), but I am saying there is more movement and loss than it feels like sometimes. On days like the last two days I just need to hang in there and let the process work and that includes letting the bumps have their moments. By choosing a healthier lifestyle, my body is responding with me and (albeit slowly), I AM INDEED getting closer to goals and I AM INDEED getting healthier. On a day-to-day basis, it just doesn’t always feel like it. Lets just keeping hanging in there folks. There is a pot of gold at the end!
02/16 -194.0- (Trend weight 194.8)Travel today for 3 appointments: cardiac rehab, bloodwork at the hospital and my first dietician appointment at the diabetes center. I’ll eat lunch out-of-town and will aim to make good choices. I’ll fit a little grocery shopping in while in the city. I need to make sure I’m keeping my “good foods” in stock at home. Yesterday I was extra hungry all day. Eating 3 meals and a snack did not satisfy me but I stuck to my guns. I drank plenty of water in case it was thirst but that didn’t help either. I know we have days like this from time-to-time. I just had to push through it. I hope today will be more satiating. I am questioning my meal choices because of the hunger, even though they were all within my calorie and carb limits. Still tweaking but it’s an art and a science and I am neither an artist nor a scientist so there’s the rub!

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.
2/14 – 142.0 The result of eating ¾ of a 10” white pizza (half at restaurant at lunch, with ¼ as an easy dinner). Did my best to estimate and track, but again, I have all that fluid retention going on in my fingers. Doesn’t feel good. No more entertaining, leftovers, or out-to-eat for at least a few days.
2/15 – 141.0 Handled yesterday well by regrouping. Hubby was off fishing. Had a typical breakfast, but then ran errands that brought me home later than usual, and I ate, and ate, prior to tracking. AFTER, I tracked everything and saw that I ate more than a usual dinner for me. So, I lightened up dinner, and ate separately from my husband. Yay for me! BP at 2 PM, 110/70, 80 BPM
2/16 – 140.6 Pre-tracked dinner and worked my day out. Was very full after which “worried” me. Also, for a first time in a while, I pre-tracked my husband’s dinner (per his request). We both got out of control this past year and a half. We are going out to dinner tonight. I went to the restaurant website, and have already determined what I am ordering, and I have filled it in on MFP. Now to just stick with the rest of my day. Typing at 6:15 while I try to decide “group walk”, “fast alone”, or try “spin bike”. If doing the alone, I gotta get out the door in the next 15 minutes…….. to be continued…………I am now back home. Super proud. Went for the fast alone. Did 7 miles in 100 minutes!
