Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 215

R215
Hi! I’m Amanda in Virginia. I missed the last round but I'm back now! Last round started with my birthday weekend, which was wonderful, but then the household caught a stomach bug that put us in straight survival mode—which is the main reason my weight is at an all-time low. My stomach still hasn’t quite returned to normal. Ready to focus again, and I hope the kids can stay in daycare for a while. I’m traveling on business for the first few days of the challenge but hoping to fully participate! Even though I lost the last couple pounds in an unhealthy way, I’d like to avoid regaining them!

2/21 - traveling - DNW. Yesterday I probably overdid it a bit but it's unlikely I did too much damage. I had an extreme sweets craving at like 9 when I was in bed but didn't go find a vending machine, so I'll call that a small victory. My hotel has a Peloton bike so I did a ride yesterday afternoon and this morning. At my birthday dinner, my stepmom made a huge deal about my weight loss and made it sound like I look emaciated. I really don't (I'm 5'2"), but I decided it's because my clothes are all too big. So I went shopping yesterday and hated every minute of it. I did get a pair of skinny jeans (size 4! first time ever) and one blouse at LOFT. I'm turning into my mom, but I just cannot wear "mom jeans" and crop tops. I don't get it. I live in a college town and I feel like these young women are wearing the most unflattering clothes during the prime of their lives. Okay, off my soap box now. One of my friends directed me to a subscription clothing company called Short Story I'm going to try out - it's specifically for women under 5'4". We'll see!

Today is “plan ahead for lots of veggies” day. 😊 I’m planning a Mediterranean lunch salad with olives, tuna, feta, and hard-boiled egg. Dinner is leftover chicken Mac & cheese (DH cooked last night!). Trying really hard to make this a “no evening snacks” round—I did it once, I can do it again. Have a great day, all!

2/21 - 177.4 - little blip up....not worried. Food was all over the place timing wise yesterday with shuttling kids around and hubby bringing home bbq from the Family Day event at the ski hill he was working at. I only ate 1/3 of the chicken and ribs combo he got for me so there's that, I'll leave the rest for the teenagers.

Hi, I'm Charissa, ready to go for Round 215/6.
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! Thank you @QuiltingJaine for hosting this challenge!

Round 214 continued to be tough getting back on track. I made it through the weekend without significate damage and did managed to weigh in lower than my start of the round even though I don't think I hit one of my goals. The goals weren't tough, I just didn't focus so same goals in this round and adding one to start some weight training.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/20 …..194.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

02/21 -192.4- (Trend weight 194.8) A very nice drop on the scale now that I’m back on my own plan. I’ve pre-logged my meals for the day and have my indoor exercise plan in place. My goal today is also to make sure I get in my 250 hourly steps, get my 5 flights of stairs or more in and drink my water. I am feeling pretty good today. I was supposed to have 8 dead trees cut down today (tall skinny pines) but so far there is a no call/no show by the Tree Service Company. Tomorrow we are expecting 8.5 inches of snow so they were to beat the weather. I tried their phone number and text but it is restricted and I couldn’t get thru. I had a friend try and they can’t get through either so I’m assuming the settings on their phone is off and I’ve no other way to reach them. So typical for my rural area. Lots of unreliable people in our service industries. Very frustrating! I don’t know why they are not here. Anyway, on a good note – my fasting glucose this morning was 200 even. That is down from 276. I will tweak my macros accordingly but hat is a massive improvement already!

Thanks to @clprieur @CamandJarvis @SModa61 for your recommendations. I have all my "befores" and being so close to my maintenance weight I'm ready to switch away from body-centric goals. I'm going to go after the journaling and reading goals. I'll journal 10 positive things for which I'm grateful and 3 desires I have for the day or week ahead. I'll also read for 30 minutes after dinner or before bed.


Round 215 goals:

#1 Diet goal: No alcohol, added sugar, ultra-processed foods (I learned that technically, frozen or dried fruits and milk are processed foods. I just mean the stuff that has a lot of additives, added sugar, preservatives, and too much extra stuff the body doesn't like over time. I eat Ezekiel bread and milk and whatnot. I think I'm still influenced by Michael Pollan's book where he talked about if you are willing to make it yourself, from the whole ingredients, then you can eat whatever you want. Like, buy an old-fashioned ice cream churn, commit to the time and burn the hundreds of calories making the ice cream from the whole ingredients, knowing everything that went in and how much, then you can enjoy your ice cream as a special treat that you made. I don't have a churn but that's the idea.)
#2 Exercise goal: Strength training or yoga for 10 minutes every day.
#3 Journal gratitude and desires in the morning. Read for 30 minutes before bed.


Round 214 end weight: 128.2

2/21 125.2 This is a surprise. I almost went all out binge after dinner last night. I almost pulled out a bag of Fritos from the pantry and I even passively asked my partner if he perhaps wanted to go to the store for ice cream... It wasn't that I was particularly craving chips or ice cream; I just wanted to chew and swallow things. Instead of Fritos I had frozen dried apricots, frozen dates, and rice cakes. I've found that I chew the apricots and dates more slowly and savor them better if I put them in the freezer. Instead of ice cream, there were frozen blueberries drizzled with a tablespoon of heavy whipping cream. The cream freezes instantly on the blueberries and gives the satisfying feeling of fat on the roof of the mouth. It is lazier than making homemade whipped cream and I consume less cream this way. And then this woosh today? It may be TMI but eating an abundance of fibrous fruits after dinner led to a long and comfortable bathroom time this morning. I still need to get a handle on my stress eating but I don't feel guilty this time. The scale's woosh probably helped with that. But with how close I was to getting out those Fritos... I am feeling grateful this morning that I kept to the fruits and I can still say that February's diet goals are going strong. I'll try journaling in the mornings and reading tonight. Maybe I should try scheduling in an eating ad libitum night once a week, as something to satisfy whatever nutrients the body might be wanting and not to feel guilty about. Maybe one night a week is a free for all with the fruits. I certainly feel more energized than most mornings.

@pezhed My family acts like I'm emaciated too. My doctor is very supportive of my diet and weight loss but my family not so much. I dread seeing them when I know they'll comment on it negatively and push unhealthy foods on me, saying, "you need it," or "you can afford it," or "you deserve it," etc. I was pushing 180 LBS 6 years ago and I'm 5'4". I have been overweight my whole life. All of my family is still very overweight and they have always wanted to lose weight, and 3 family members have died from heart disease or diabetes over the past few years. I look like a physically healthy active woman is supposed to look but since the medical field's "normal weight" is NOT my family's or the USA's average weight I must be trying to starve myself to hurt them or something. I hate that I feel bad about myself when I'm around my family now.

First time participating in this! I don’t even know how to use this part of the app but here it goes.

Starting weight 152.4
My goal for the ten days is to log everything I put in my mouth. It may or may not lead to weight loss but it always helps me feel more in control of my body and how I feel.

@GirlOnTheRebound YAY for getting your water!!! I think I have realized why my water consumption has gone down. I’ve been putting ice in the glass before I put water in. In the past when the water dispenser in the refrigerator worked, I just did the cold water from the fridge, no ice during the winter. I cut back on cubes and I’m drinking more.

@gomifune That drop at the beginning was often lost when I started with the weight of day 1 of a round. Then I started posting my round starting weight as the previous round day 10. It sure made a difference in my brain! Positive mind game!

@pezhed Your stepmom sounds like my former neighbor. When I hit 125 (@5’1”) she told me I was “too skinny!” I wonder if that was because she realized (or didn’t) how chubby she had gotten. Ooooh, I’ll have to look into Short Story, too.

@deepwoodslady YOU GO GIRL!!!

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.

5th 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 beginning this Round: 150.6 lbs
Goal: Maintain 150 lbs

This round's daily goals:
1. <1500 cals per day -
2. Jog/walk with dog every day - ☹
3. Zero work absences - ☹

2/21 – 150.6 lbs – WELP. I felt too gross to jog this morning, and I logged off work after lunch today because I felt so hateful (I didn’t sleep last night at all and when I did I had a lot of bad dreams – PTSD). I did manage to stay below 1500 calories, so let me try to focus on the positive. I have decided to keep my goals for this round very similar to last round. I have raised my calories up from 1300 to 1500, as I could not for the life of me stay at 1300 for some friggin mind-boggling reason. I kept the jogging goal as that is a new skill I am trying to incorporate into my life and I need to keep practicing it. It is my hope/belief that if I can do jogging every day, I may be able to maintain this weight for the foreseeable future (which I have never in my entire life been able to do). Also, I need to continue to work on not being absent from work, as the role I am currently doing is temporary and due to my absences, my manager is thinking about bumping me back down to my permanent role, which I would rather not do. (My current role is a more senior role; it is more challenging and aligns with my career goals and pays more.) I want to give myself a “shout out” for not missing any days last week. In the coming 10 days of this challenge I am scheduled for 8 days of work… please wish me luck/give me support to try to attend on those days. I really want to prove to my manager and teammates that I am worth keeping around. I am cutting myself some slack in that my goal is to just “attend”… not even to be 100% productive for those days. Just show up and do my best. Finally, you may notice that I have changed my goal weight from 145 to 150. I have been at this weight since February 2nd. Maybe I need to just accept that this is maintenance… ? Open to any thoughts or suggestions on this topic. 😊

Mostly over Covid but still one or two niggly symptoms hanging on.

• 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 necessary.
People are still dying out there……… and the numbers are on the rise again.
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
FEBRUARY 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!

@quiltingjaine I was very rebellious and even did some IF this morning. Had breakfast abpout noon. My before lunch (4:20 pm) glucose reading: 145 !!!!!! But then, we knew it would be better, didn't we? Yay! I tend to eat the most in the late evening and night although all within plan. Especially if I've IF'd that morning. I'm curious to see my fasting level in the morning! Doin' the happy dance here!!!

2/21 220.0 anybody else feel protien goal is unreachable? Had pork rinds and tuna with mayo for breakfast. Not hungry for lunch. Bibigo pork wontons with corn and cream cheese for dinner. Met water goal, and activity goal on rebounder (2 x 10 mins). 9959 steps. Will reach 10000 walking to bed lol. Sodium over 53mg due to pork rinds and wontons. Packaged food in moderation going forward.

Thank you @quiltingjaine for another round!

💪🏋️‍♀️🤸‍♀️🎵💃👗👨‍👩‍👧‍👦💗🌻🏖🙏

First Goal: Hit the 160's (again)
179 / 178 / 177 / 176 / 175 / 174 / 173 / 172 / 171 / 170 👉 169

Round 215
2/21 - DNW - Okay, here goes. On Sunday, I was making dinner and I just didn't want to weigh everything, figure the per-serving calories, etc. Instead of just ball-parking the calories and still tracking, I decided I was "intentionally" not going to track that day, nor exercise. Okay fine. Except, on Monday, I didn't go right back to tracking, I decided to "intentionally" make cheese crackers, and ate half of them. This morning, instead of throwing them out, I "intentionally" ate the rest. Then, after no sugar for 28 days, I "intentionally" opened a jar of my husband's homemade strawberry jam and "intentionally" ate it with crackers. I don't even really like jam. So, there it is, 3 days of floundering around. I'm not happy I got off track, but I don't feel like I've totally lost it and will start bingeing. I will feel like I have a hangover tomorrow from the sugar. I didn't weigh today and probably won't weigh for a few more days. My last weight on 2/19 was 177.2. All I ask for this round is to track, exercise, and drink water, and hit 176.X. These rounds really help to stop the downward spirals. I'm glad to be starting a new round. Here's wishing everyone a good round! Cheers! 🍻

@enlightenme3 Your jazzercise - is that actual classes or a CD? Years ago, I would go to a Jazzercize class 6 days a week and it was the best shape I've ever been in. So fun. I have some CD's, but haven't done them in a while. I didn't know Jazzercise classes were still around until I just googled it and see that there are classes pretty close to me. Maybe I'll give it a shot again. On a side note, when I hit quote, your spoiler opened, and Wow, the steady progress you made to get to your goal range and then consistently sticking to it round after around is amazing and so inspiring! Congratulations!

@fmfdfa2020 - I have been attending in-person Jazzercise classes for about 15 years - the instructors are incredible. Since the pandemic, my instructor (franchise owner) did on-line classes and then hybrid classes (in-person and on-line) when the facilities were allowed to open again. I mainly now attend on-line since it is so easy (and portable!). I occasionally meet up with my Jazz pals at a Saturday class and we'll grab a coffee afterwards.

Thank you for the congratulations! I'm really happy that I finally committed to myself to lose weight after many years of steady gain. Maintenance has been interesting - not a free for all by any stretch of the imagination, but I still have to focus on tracking.
