Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 220

SW January 1 210
GW 160
I started my weight loss journey in January hoping to be 185 by a wedding in March. I reached that goal and now am going to work on getting to my new goal of 160 by my 60th birthday. I took the last round off and didn't weigh until this morning, so I was happy to see that I am the same weight I was a month ago, even though I have been traveling the last 3 weeks. Now it is time to get back into weight loss mode!

Hello again, I had a false start last round but am really committing to daily weighing/posting this round. It seems like I am all or nothing with weight loss and maintenance. I wish I could do it on my own but it seems like I need external accountability to rein it in. So I'm back!
I'm Amanda, 5'2" in Virginia.
R220 Goal Weight - 123.6 lb (which will still put me at 1.6 lb above my maintenance range of 118-122)
Other R220 goals -
daily exercise
16-hour fast 6/10 days
no mindless snacking
4/12 - 125.6. Excited to get back to it today! The weather is gorgeous this week so working out outside shouldn't be a problem. Yesterday my husband and I went on a midday road bike ride together, which was awesome! Today will probably just be a dog walk since those pooches and I really need it. I'm also adding back some strength training, and today will be core and upper body. I've been super hungry lately, but I am going to squash my snacking this week.

So the run went better than expected. My lungs gave me more trouble than my ankle (thank you, brace!)
I think, if my ankle doesn't get too sore, I'll finish week 4 on Friday and start Week 5 next week. It's a doozy.
[5 min warmup and 5 min cooldown for each workout included in the app]
W5D1: 5 min run, 3 min walk, 5 min run, 3 min walk, 5 min run
W5D2: 8 min run, 5 min walk, 8 min run
W5D3: 20 min run [NO WALKS...eek - other than warmup and cooldown, naturally]
Week 6 is similar - intervals on D1&D2 are slightly longer and the D3 run is 22 mins. W6D2 is the last day that includes walking rest breaks. From W6D3 onward it's all straight runs slowly increasing in time until I hit 30 minutes straight running. I'm I don't know why that sounds so intimidating -- I've previously run two 5ks straight through (37 minutes and 38 minutes) with less training than I'm doing now. I guess it's a mental thing I'll have to push through8 -

Well, I hit my no after-dinner snacking and my walking goals. Did not hit the others, but I also didn’t go overboard. I didn’t sleep well last night (puppy got me up twice, and I couldn’t go back to sleep) and I feel like I need a nap already. But I’m going to put my shoes on and go for a walk on this beautiful morning! Planning salad for lunch and salmon Pattie’s (no bread, just salmon, egg, celery, and spices) for dinner with a vegetable or two on the side. I’m cutting my no-snacking goal to 10 days at a time. These bite-size chunks are much more manageable.

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.

I am playing a game with myself & setting little daily goals of losing 0.35lbs per day and using those goals to help me stay motivated and on track is a way of fasting that I saw in another group. Using my bathroom scale as a weight loss tool works for me. There are days that my weight increases by 2 pounds or more, and I understand that this is mainly water weight, and can go away as quickly as it came. That is why there are times that my daily goal and my weight that day are pounds apart. I am not expecting to lose 2 pounds of body fat by the next day. But it is possible to lose 2 pounds of water weight by the next day, so I stick to my goals. If it takes longer than one day to lose that water weight, I extend my fast for another day. Sticking to my plan, I will reach my 1st goal weight of 172 pounds on September 16 2023. This will put me in the overweight weight range which I have not seen since 2007. At that point I will decrease the daily amount to 0.2lbs per day to get to my ultimate goal of 140 by my birthday in February.
End of round 218 231lbs
End of round 219 229lbs
4/12 Goal 225.9/Actual 227.8. Still fasting. Still feeling good. I am on day 3. I have allowed some broth, so not a true water fast yet but I wasn’t keto last week so this is easing me in. I decided that for every day I add the “helpers” I will extend my fast for a day. I am being very diligent with electrolytes & I am keeping busy. Yesterday I got over 10,000 steps & I expect the same today. I have hot Yin Yoga this morning after I walk the dog & then a couple of hours of work. There are some symptoms of fasting that I am not getting yet (💩) & hopefully that does not happen while I am working today 🤦♀️. I also usually get extreme heartburn & leg cramps but I think everything is just aligning & I am mentally & physically ready to do this. What a change from the last 2 weeks where I couldn’t make it 24 hours!

@quiltingjaine Thanks for the well wishes. It is crazy today. I can hear the thunder. Black clouds all around. But sky is bright where we are. It's like the weather is surrounding, but then passing us in Marathon. On the mainland, I recall the gully washers we would encounter visiting my MIL. Yesterday, Miami made the news due to flooding from rain. We could use come water for the wildlife in the keys, so I wish some would actually come our way.

04/11 …..192.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
04/12 -193.2- (Trend weight 192.0) It was a good day yesterday. Diet was on point and I got plenty of steps/movement/exercise raking the yard and burning leaves. I will be working on that project over the course of many days. I think the uptick is just the “days later fallout” or “hangover”, if you will, from days ago during the holiday and travel. Staying the course and hoping it will start reflecting that soon. The 180’s are pretty angry right now that I left them in the dust. Good luck this round everyone!

SW this round 163.8
Goals This round: I will not be weighing this round until the very last day. I want to take a little time to not be attached to the scale.
4/12 163.8 Did strength training and pickleball yesterday, ate within my goals, and got a decent night's sleep, so feeling pretty good! I Spent 4 hours with my son at the zoo today, so steps and sunshine instead of the gym. I'm annoyed with myself because I packed a lunchbox with a protein shake ans and some snacks to eat while at dance with my girls...and promptly forgot it at home! But I had a protein bar in my purse and a bag of boom chicka pop in my car.

I think, if my ankle doesn't get too sore, I'll finish week 4 on Friday and start Week 5 next week. It's a doozy.
[5 min warmup and 5 min cooldown for each workout included in the app]
W5D1: 5 min run, 3 min walk, 5 min run, 3 min walk, 5 min run
W5D2: 8 min run, 5 min walk, 8 min run
W5D3: 20 min run [NO WALKS...eek - other than warmup and cooldown, naturally]
Week 6 is similar - intervals on D1&D2 are slightly longer and the D3 run is 22 mins. W6D2 is the last day that includes walking rest breaks. From W6D3 onward it's all straight runs slowly increasing in time until I hit 30 minutes straight running. I'm I don't know why that sounds so intimidating -- I've previously run two 5ks straight through (37 minutes and 38 minutes) with less training than I'm doing now. I guess it's a mental thing I'll have to push through
I’m headed into week 3 on the c25k. I restarted it after reading that doing this outside is more realistic than the treadmill. I had never thought about that. It’s harder for sure. The upcoming weeks are intimidating. I have surprised myself though. Especially since running has not been any part of my life since elementary school.
Did you repeat any of the weeks? I’ve read that some do if they aren’t ready for the next week.

I’m really enjoying these 10 day challenges. My goals are the same as before - to log consistently and to not snack after dinner.

4/12 150.2 (trend 149.9) Yesterday was a better day than recently in terms of tracking food, although I lost a bit of discipline in the evening and eyeballed a few snacks rather than weighing them. Didn't complete my step target as I woke up too late to do an early morning walk and then later started to feel really unwell with fatigue, headache, sore throat, so rested more than I had planned. Heavy rain nixed my chances of an evening walk. I'll try again today, but still feeling like I've got a bit of a bug. Did 1hr weight training yesterday for 4th day in a row, so I may take a rest day today and do cardio instead.
STEPS 4,618
4/13 149.4 (trend 149.9) Not the best day again. Food was tracked and careful up until the evening, then I got lazy and stopped weighing things. Something I really need to get in control of. No exercise either.
Still feeling unwell, I'm beginning to suspect covid. My mouth feels really weird and waxy/burnt, and I'm really drained. My mouth has felt like this for over a week, I noticed my tongue is swollen, white, and pressing against my teeth. I'll try and get hold of a covid test today.

GIVE ME 10 DAYS – ROUND 220
Round 220
April 12 – April 21, 2023
61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
Goal for Round 220. Strategically get through using up freezer and pantry items that can’t stay to next season. Take off at least 1 more lb. Getting so close to the 130.
Oh, and I can finally confess, I am going to be a grandmother for the second time. Daughter is giving us another grandson mid-august. DD had her mid pregnancy anatomy scan last week, and finally feels safe in sharing her news.
History:
Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a DGS, and second GS on the way. 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
4/12 – 132.0 Not concerned. I have a sneaking suspicion that eating 63 grams of fiber yesterday (21 is the daily recommended according to MFP) may be a contributing factor. I also did not walk. Yesterday was supposed to be a blow out rain day, and it was a 2 am, so I allowed myself to oversleep. Was there any rain during daylight hours? No. But the radar showed it could. Today is also supposed to be a blow out, but I can see outside that it is currently nice (it is ½ hour before sunrise). Rain in the Keys (and I think Florida in general) is different from my life experience of the northeast. ( a day later I notice I never wrote the day’s weight, so I added)
4/13 – 131.0 Not surprised given how much time I spent in the bathroom yesterday. :P Yesterday, I got in a nice walk. It was another day with predicted rough weather. It was so strange. I could hear thunder. Dark clouds were in every direction but over the harbor, where we are, was glowing bright. I wish I took a picture. Ft. Lauderdale made the news to its rain yesterday, and the day before Miami made the news due to rain flooding. We got some drips. Unfortunately, the plants really could use some.

Good Morning!
I am playing a game with myself & setting little daily goals of losing 0.35lbs per day and using those goals to help me stay motivated and on track is a way of fasting that I saw in another group. Using my bathroom scale as a weight loss tool works for me. There are days that my weight increases by 2 pounds or more, and I understand that this is mainly water weight, and can go away as quickly as it came. That is why there are times that my daily goal and my weight that day are pounds apart. I am not expecting to lose 2 pounds of body fat by the next day. But it is possible to lose 2 pounds of water weight by the next day, so I stick to my goals. If it takes longer than one day to lose that water weight, I extend my fast for another day. Sticking to my plan, I will reach my 1st goal weight of 172 pounds on September 16 2023. This will put me in the overweight weight range which I have not seen since 2007. At that point I will decrease the daily amount to 0.2lbs per day to get to my ultimate goal of 140 by my birthday in February.
End of round 218 231lbs
End of round 219 229lbs
4/12 Goal 225.9/Actual 227.8. Still fasting. Still feeling good. I am on day 3. I have allowed some broth so not a true water fast yet but I wasn’t keto last week so this is easing me in. I decided that for every day I add the “helpers” I will extend my fast for a day. I am being very diligent with electrolytes & I am keeping busy. Yesterday I got over 10,000 steps & I expect the same today. I have hot Yin Yoga this morning after I walk the dog & then a couple of hours of work. There are some symptoms of fasting that I am not getting yet (💩) & hopefully that does not happen while I am working today 🤦♀️. I also usually get extreme heartburn & leg cramps but I think everything is just aligning & I am mentally ready to do this.
4/13 Goal 225.6/Actual 226.4. Today will be the first day of my fast without helpers (like broth) to help me get through this fast. Sometimes I question my why. Things I know besides weight loss (which is #1) that fasting will help me to reduce inflammation & it will help with skin tightening through autophagy. Weight loss is the main reason & that’s why I don’t mind the helpers (usually less than 200 calories per day) but that stops autophagy so I gotta get to it. Hot yoga & walking the dog & some garden clean up are on tap today.

4/13 - 158.7 - Not quite sure the uptick....DOMS maybe? My abs were feeling quite sore yesterday afternoon and the squat down to the toilet and then to my work chair this morning was a little more of a struggle than normal (hello shaking legs first thing!) I feel lighter and I don't look bloated so I'm okay with soreness weight after a week off of heavy workouts. I had a dream last night about finances so I updated all my information and did a little digging this morning and lost track of time so no workout. I have a plan that will save money and help me pay off the one credit card I owe on in half the time, freeing up money for the kiddos this summer so it's not a total loss. I'm about to check work emails while pedaling gently on the bike, just to get some simple movement in which is better than nothing. Unsure dinner but planning on eating my curry before we head out to our Thirsty Thursday meetup to save some much needed cals. Especially since I'm not getting in an intense workout. Oops! FamWife got accepted to a new, better position yesterday so it's a little celebration and I'll need to be prepared with a nice full belly. Trying to fast until then as well, to help buffer the afternoon/dinner.

Previous Day's Comments4/12 - Ahhh, much better! Today I'm attempting to ease back into C25K with my ankle. I have my brace and I'm planning on taking it as slow and easy as necessary to get through it without re-injury. I'll stop if I think I'm coming close to that, though. Also picking back up on kettlebell strength circuit since I didn't on Monday as I was recovering from what we now believe to be the 12 hour stomach bug. BF dealt with the same thing I did on Sunday night/Monday all day. He was all good yesterday like nothing happened. I got an email yesterday about my upcoming training which I'm flying out in 2 weeks for. Business casual. Oof. I had to go dig that stuff out. My slacks fit, but they are TIGHT. Granted, this was yesterday, feeling bloated, and in the afternoon after breakfast and lunch had been consumed. Which is a good thing because I'll be wearing them from 8am to 5pm at training every day, food consumption included. So these next 2 weeks I need to kick my butt in gear in hopes of losing a tiny smidgen - just enough I don't feel like I'm going to bust seams on my only 2 pairs of slacks. I will wear slacks once, maybe twice a year, if that, with this job so I don't want to spend the money or all the time to find and buy new ones. Especially since I'm actively working to get healthier and lose the excess fat. Also, dinner is on my coworker and I Tuesday after I fly in (she's driving in) and Thursday. Friday I fly out right after class so I'll likely rely on airport fare (scheduled to land at 11pm so I'll be grabbing something). Breakfast and lunch is provided, continental-style, Wednesday-Friday. Dinner is out with the host on Wednesday night. AKA, I'm at other's mercy almost every meal during my trip. Oh and they specifically said "southern hospitality" which, being southern myself, makes me a little concerned with the fare provided. My co-worker is very sweet and I'm sure we can be flexible, the other stuff is questionable. So I'm really hoping that I can give myself enough buffer in these next two weeks that any bloat and gain between Tuesday afternoon and Friday doesn't cause a busted seam come Friday. I'll be wearing jeans to fly so once class is over, I can change and avoid any catastrophe at the airport at least. All this to say, I need to stay firmly on the wagon for 2 weeks straight.... Good news is, I have a plan for lunches next week AND I'm in charge of dinner at least 3 of the days as BF is gone on a business trip so I have a lot of control about the type of foods I'm eating. I'm looking up recipes and making plans for my grocery trip Friday to ensure I'm all set.

I think, if my ankle doesn't get too sore, I'll finish week 4 on Friday and start Week 5 next week. It's a doozy.
[5 min warmup and 5 min cooldown for each workout included in the app]
W5D1: 5 min run, 3 min walk, 5 min run, 3 min walk, 5 min run
W5D2: 8 min run, 5 min walk, 8 min run
W5D3: 20 min run [NO WALKS...eek - other than warmup and cooldown, naturally]
Week 6 is similar - intervals on D1&D2 are slightly longer and the D3 run is 22 mins. W6D2 is the last day that includes walking rest breaks. From W6D3 onward it's all straight runs slowly increasing in time until I hit 30 minutes straight running. I'm I don't know why that sounds so intimidating -- I've previously run two 5ks straight through (37 minutes and 38 minutes) with less training than I'm doing now. I guess it's a mental thing I'll have to push through
I’m headed into week 3 on the c25k. I restarted it after reading that doing this outside is more realistic than the treadmill. I had never thought about that. It’s harder for sure. The upcoming weeks are intimidating. I have surprised myself though. Especially since running has not been any part of my life since elementary school.
Did you repeat any of the weeks? I’ve read that some do if they aren’t ready for the next week.
I haven't repeated any yet but I have more recent running history it sounds like.
I did run 2 5ks back in 2021. It's been awhile, but between the Army (10 years, ending 2018- the army loves running) and then a few sprinkled 5ks here and there, running isn't a huge part of my life, but I've done it intermittently through the years. Granted, I did have a lumbar spinal fusion in 2016 and have sciatic nerve damage so my legs get tingly and numb every now and again. Running is very different than how it used to be for me. I have to be a little kinder, slower, and sometimes take longer breaks/recovery than I'd like to get through.
I'm scheduled, with no repeats, to be doing Week 6 while I'm away on business. I foresee having to repeat that once I'm home since I'll be doing W6D2 and W6D3 on a treadmill at the hotel. Plus, it's getting to the point where I have a feeling I may struggle a bit with the longer runs without walking breaks.
Depending on how Week 5 goes next week, I may simply repeat that during the week of my trip and start Week 6 once I'm back home. We shall see how much my body yells at me next week. Particularly the 20 minute run with no stops come next Friday.
Editing to add: I also am pushing myself and limiting my repeats as much as my body allows due to having a deadline. My 5k is June 10th with the kiddos and I need to be as close to prepared as possible to avoid injury or anything like that. If I was simply starting now to slowly ease into my 5k that's in November, I'd definitely have repeated weeks by now just to feel more comfortable and capable.3
