Round 219
April 2 - April 11, 2023

Please join us starting on 4/2 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 219!

Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. You have only one hour to edit your post. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

    Some new habit goals to add to the good habits I'm still practicing and want to always be practicing until they become who I am. I'm going to be that woman who Irish exits great parties because nothing is better than my good night's sleep and I prioritize ME.

    SW RND 219

    Diet goals for a better LIFESTYLE: ALWAYS YES to whole plant foods.
    ALWAYS NO to ultra-processed foods and dairy and added sugar in processed food.
    Currently, no animal products until Easter and after that keep practicing my plant-based habits daily.
    Exercise goal: Strength train or yoga 10 minutes every morning.
    LIFESTYLE goals: Electronics should go down when the sun goes down and ALWAYS stop and go to bed by 10pm. I should not binge watch the Great British Bake Off while staying on the couch the whole time and trying to stop myself from eating the whole time. Bike or row at least until they're starting the technical challenge.
    New challenge: 💤10 days of bed by 10💤
    Maintain weight between 120-125

    👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s MY LIFESTYLE! :)

    Hi, I'm Charissa - Round 219

    Thank you, again, @QuiltingJaine for hosting this challenge!

    My goals for round 218 were to maintain as I knew I was coming up on vacation. I ended up gaining 2.6 but once I got home, going back to good habits didn't come naturally....:)
    So here we go again. I do have high hopes for April as there is nothing on the calendar. Easter is one day and I don't usually over do it on Easter. My feet feel good (knock on wood) so I should get my exercise in without fail. I actually rejoined one of the Step Bet challenges! My focus for April is on nutrition. I started with the Mayo Clinic Diet and got off track so I'm restarting.

I’ve been pretty busy so not putting a ton of effort in, so I am pretty happy to still be losing anything. I think I’ll join the next challenge just to help keep up accountability for logging in :)

    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!
