Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 221
Replies

If/when I get circumferential body lift, I think my pant size would be even smaller – it is hard to get the waist over the blubber that is hanging there. The other thing is that I tried on shorts and realized that my thighs are just…
I have quite a lot of loose skin from losing the excess I carried for almost 60 years, thighs are quite saggy, that stops about 4 inches above my knees then my legs are skinny but muscley from all the walking I do, but I'd rather have the saggy skin than the fat!!
I also sag EVERYWHERE! So frustrating but if I would get back to fasting for a little longer (48 hr) I think I would see that shrink at least a bit.

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.
We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

Since starting the meds for hypothyroidism, I see you've had steady weight loss.. did you also alter your diet to cut carbs or anything? I have hypothyroidism and have continually struggled to keep the scale from going up with very little losing results no matter what I do

@coffee_and_chaos I never really changed my diet to lose weight. I am allergic to Beef and lamb-other than that, I put little restrictions on my diet. I go back in two days to have my thyroid blood test again-not sure if that is or isn't the reason I lost weight and now it has stalled. I think I lost most of my weight on my treadmill-I have always been a light eater (abt 1200 calories). I started gaining weight when I started writing again during Covid, I now am making sure I exercise more-burning about 300-500 calories a day on the treadmill. Not sure if that answers your question. Good luck2

After taking a diet break for 3 rounds, I am back around 1 pound heavier. We had a lovely holiday at the same time which involved lots of eating out but also lots of walking. It was so nice to relax and not worry about food or counting and I am really surprised I haven't gained more. It gives me some hope for maintenance.
I admit I am struggling to get back into the weight-loss mindset though so for this round I am just going to focus on counting again and getting 22 active minutes.

Feel free to add me as a friend 😊
EW round 220 - 172.2 down 1.3 lbs
SW round 221 - 172.4
Goals for round 221
To hit 170!!! And hit an 80 lbs total loss! I can do this!!!
Water! Water! Water!
Run every other day
4/22 - 172.4
4/23 - 172.2 - The HS had a huge fundraiser and the last 2 days I’ve been volunteering to help deliver 31,000 bags of mulch! I’m wore out! And surprisingly my weight didn’t go up bc I ate like crap. Weigh in w my dr on Wednesday.6 -
Back for another round. My goals for this round will be a bit different. I’m flying back home on April 26 for my mum’s memorial (my mum passed away in mid-February 😢). I’m there for a week and will be staying in a hotel so won’t be able to weigh in for the second half of the round. My goal is to log everything, even while I’m away, just so I can stay accountable. And hopefully it will help me maintain the progress I’ve made so far.

65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 221 (my 152nd). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine you are a star!
Back from a week away, tomorrow I will weigh in, first time since we went away. Goal for this round; any loss and keep binge free, not going to 100 days, starting small just going for 10, surely, I can make 10? This time!! Be mindful when I’m tempted! Keep within calories & macros. I can do this but, consistency is paramount, let’s do it for just 10 days as the reward is great!!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. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

4/22 DNW – we travelled back home today after our week away, see what damage there is on the scale tomorrow.
4/23 140.8 – 7.95 miles walked, got a walk in after getting home & unpacking the caravan. Then some gardening to tidy it up after a week away, the weather was so nice, it was lovely to bring it back to scratch!! Lawns are now cut, edges tidied, weeding done before ran out of time. Dead heading still to be done. My first goal now this round is to get back below 140. Today we have a sibling’s lunch, all 6 of us plus partners, I get to see DB for the first time after his stroke 6 days ago, so pleased he’s agreed to still come, a positive step! Also meet DS’s new man for first time!! Going to be mindful and eat sensibly.
4/24 140.8 – 6.13 miles walked yesterday, all but 39 exercise calories eaten back. Really lovely siblings lunch yesterday, chose pesto & asparagus tagliatelle with grilled chicken, no desert but did indulge in a latte. DB is doing amazingly, he looks well, but words come out mixed up or he has difficulty thinking of the second half of the word, can’t really imagine myself what that feels like? It is an improvement as initially he couldn’t speak at all. He is positive, keeping cheerful & we are all convinced he will get that back, he does feel like his legs have been cut off whilst he can’t drive, but 3 weeks only left of that curfew. Thank you all for your kind wishes for him.

I'M WORTH IT !! 👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a PERMANENT HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
7 -
My name is Paula and I am a 46 year old 100% service disabled veteran from the Army.
This is my second round. I am signing up for a variety of challenges to help change my mindset about healthy habits and getting my weight under control. I want a better quality of life where I don’t have to ask my husband to constantly slow down when we are walking because he is going too fast.
I also use Noom, GOLO, and intermittent fasting (IF) using a 16:8 (fasting hours:eating hours) schedule to help affect the change with my weight. I have also DRASTICALLY overhauled my eating habits and what I eat to a more clean way of eating.
Starting weight - 240.4 lbs
Challenge goal weight - 237.2 lbs
4/22 - 240.4 lbs 🥲🤨 Fell off a little and did some emotional eating to equilibrate some pesky emotions and satisfy my personality need for comfort (my #1 personality need that is always getting me into trouble! 😒🫢
4/23 - 241.0 lbs 🤨🧐 Went to the movies to take the family to see “Super Mario Brothers” and the movie theater is my age old place to chow down like it’s my last meal and I’m on death row where I just eat the craziest most unhealthy crap to fully immerse myself in the experience. However….I didn’t quite do that this time! I ate two mini super small snack-eye size Baby Ruth & similarly mini Snickers, but passed on the movie popcorn heavily laden with delicious butter or mega sized fountain soda! I see this as a win for me! I’m getting there darnit!
4/24 - 239.6 lbs 😅😊 I missed my last workout and skipped strength training so it’s time to get back in the saddle. I am setting the intention right here and right now to go to the gym for cardio, then come home to do the next series of strength training exercises as designed by the hubby! I was having an overly emotional weekend because I am still in the process of implementing my routine and strategies to purposefully fill my needs buckets myself and ahead of time so I have a bit of buffer so I don’t have to worry about my arch nemesis/my subconscious looking for the easiest autopilot or otherwise way to haphazardly fill those needs buckets per my Emotional Mastery class. I created a template in my journal app to journal on my food & fitness aspect of being to help entrain good, healthy behaviors, but like I said I was having an emotional crap show this weekend so I just was too busy feeling sorry for myself to give myself a moment to remember what tools I have to get me some good habits brewing and new neural connections created to establish this different mindset. I’m a work in progress folks! 😰🤤😬

4/22 149.0 (trend 149.8) Started the round with a bit of a binge-fest last night, so that's not good! We had a trip to Oxford in the afternoon, so I got in a 3 mile walk along the river while waiting for OH to finish with his doctors appointment there.
I had the house to myself in the evening, so I took full advantage of stretching out on the sofa, watching tacky films until the wee small hours.
STEPS 7,134
4/23 149.4 (149.8) Had a slow morning, then got to the gym after lunch for a lower body workout. Totm started yesterday, and it affected most of my sets as I had to lower the weights on my lifts, so that was annoying. Got out for a 2 mile walk around town in the evening with OH, then a small pizza and a few beers with a film. Pretty much ate at maintenance, no tmi is probably why the gain today.
STEPS 8,564
4/24 150.0 (trend 149.8) We decided to skip breakfast and go for a walk and pub lunch. Did a 6 mile walk around a reservoir and didn't end up eating until 4pm, had Hunter's chicken with chips and salad, then overdid it with some snacks in the evening. I'm going to try my absolute hardest to stick to 1200 calories this week.

GIVE ME 10 DAYS – ROUND 221
Round 221
April 22 – May 1, 2023
61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
Goal for Round 221 – This round will end with the challenge of traveling home 1600 miles, with a full day stop at MIL’s, followed by the last 1400 miles of the trip. Final weigh-in will be the morning after I return home (if the drive goes as planned). My dream for my time in Florida was to return home weighing less than 130, a place I had gotten to with the help this group in 2021. Returning home is the May 1 of this round. So my goal for this round is to be under 130 on May 1.
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!

SW: 130.0
Day/Weight/Comment
4/22 – 130.4 Last night, I just…needed….something…..more. Was not feeling like embracing the slight hunger of evening. I did track it all though, and came in around 2000 calories total (even tracking is still only best estimates). Combined with my activity for the day, I doubt it explains a true gain. So we shall see.
4/23 – 130.4 Again, total calories purportedly good, but I did make some poor selection making up those calories. On top of it, I feel “big” today. Will eat cleaner today and see how that all settles out tomorrow.
4/24 – 129.6 Back to the weight I saw during late round 220. Looks like I am in a slow moving patch. Yesterday, calories were good (1534), walked 6.5 miles formally, played over an hour of doubles pickleball. Just seems like getting into the 120’s and staying will take concentration. Today will have its challenges. We leave Thursday and pantry and fridge need reductions, so grocery shopping is minimal and balance of meals is less optimal, even when I am making a good effort. Then on top of it, Hubby wants Thai food one last time before we leave. That is tonight (then Chinese with his mother on Thursday…..). Just need to do my best for the round. If I am careful, I should be under 130 on May 1 like I am hoping.

Good Morning!
My whyI 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. I also have a cruise booked for my birthday & one of the tours offers a mini photoshoot. What a great opportunity to be at my goal & get semi professional pictures on the beach!
I did an extended fast on April 9th that lasted almost 9 days. That got me back on track after Easter.

Past days this round4/22 -Goal 222.4 /Actual 221.8.
I am not complaining about the scale 🙊 I know this is what happens. I am still almost down 10lbs, my eating is better, low calories, less mindless unplanned eating. I made fried kimchi cauliflower rice with shrimp last night that had great macros & was very satisfying & tasty. I had never tried kimchi before but we picked up a huge jar at Costco & fortunately we like it. I will probably make it again this week. I am challenging myself to cook with what we have in the house, everything is super full so I will have to do some digging in the cupboards & freezer & make some good low carb dishes.
4/23 -Goal 222.1 /Actual 222.6
Already another fasting day. I thought it would take until Monday. Oh well, no big deal. I have some meals to prep today for the week, hot yoga this morning & I will take the dog for a walk. I was noticing yesterday that I was moving better & felt lighter. The scale does not agree but I will not get frustrated. I knew going into this that the scale sucks. I continue to stick to my plan, fast when I am over the projected goal & know that it is just a number & does not represent failure.I have been eating under 1000 calories since I broke my fast except yesterday I had around 1400. I have not been drinking enough water & honestly now that I think of it I did some boredom/procrastination eating that I did not track. No big deal, it can be fixed but I need a strategy to stop that. Well, at least I have a strategy to deal with it when it does happen before it leads to weeks & months!
4/24 -Goal 221.7 /Actual 221.4
Well I didn’t fast yesterday but I was very mindful & ate low carb & less calories. I cooked ahead & should have enough food cooked for the week that I don’t have to worry about coming home from work & settling for taquitos & pizza pops. I will be working most of the week & starting to train seasonal staff so that they are ready when pool season starts. In yoga yesterday the instructor suggested something that reinforced my current goals. Self care, exercise, taking care of this extra weight is so important so that I am not a burden on those around me. My mobility is not affected now, but it will be in the future if I don’t take care of myself now.

4/24 - 157.8 - I don't deserve this drop back down. We went out to run a single errand and ended up driving around town finding things to do to stay out of the house. While out and about, we ate Thai for lunch. I figured the sodium from that would have done me in but we also didn't pull anything out to thaw for dinner so BF requested my homemade pizza which I had 3 slices. After logging the best I could (estimating pad thai) I was over 550 calories AKA eating at maintenance. Today I'm working all day so I'll be focused on water and eating better. I'm foregoing my run as my ankle still hurts quite a bit from rolling it again Friday. I have a nice deep bruise on it today so I figure I'll just lightly pedal on the bike for a bit. I'm still planning on working out in some capacity while on my trip, assuming I even make it as it's supposed to be storming all day tomorrow at my airport and the layover location. I still have to finish packing, too. I have to catch up on the weekend's posts so I'll be doing that through the day, I'm sure, as I'll be bored.

Previous Day's Comments4/22 - I was very excited to still see 157! We ended up eating out at a Japanese restaurant for dinner so I have a lot of excess sodium. The bloat is super visible today so I was more than expecting the scale to be higher. I ended up rolling my ankle again getting out of the vehicle at the grocery store. It's stiff right now but otherwise fine. Either it's getting weaker and weaker (maybe the VA will finally allow me surgery on it?) or the storms weakened it enough and then my morning run did me in. I wear a brace with metal supports on my runs so it feels stable no matter what. Guess I'll be wearing my ankle brace at all times now ): I hate that. I'll have to add in some ankle strengthening exercises to help keep some muscle in there. Today we are helping Fam start building their porch that was all rotted before they pulled it down. We can't do too much due to the week of upcoming rain, starting tonight. Speaking of, I'm concerned about my trip to Oklahoma. It's supposed to be storming here and there when I fly out. Hopefully it doesn't cause any issues like it did BF. Not so much on the way there, but certainly on the way back. I'm already not supposed to get home until Saturday morning at about 1-2am but any delays will only make it worse.
4/23 - This is 100% sodium and pasta bloat. We had fast food breakfast, Italian lunch (only place in town without an 1 hour+ wait for food) and then dinner was air-fried chicken drumsticks with some steamable veg (that apparently was going bad as it tasted awful). I listened to my body, though, and didn't finish breakfast or dinner because I was satisfied. In between, we did some light manual labor prepping everything to build Fam's porch. A bit of heavy lifting and walking around. Today is a lazy day. We may work on the travel trailer, deep cleaning and fixing things up, but that's still up in the air. If so, that'll be my activity. Otherwise, we'll be home and I have a say in my food options and can focus on water to help banish this bloat by tomorrow which is primary goal today.

Here for another round! Would really like to dip into the 160's by May 1 so this is the perfect round to do that. I'm really finding I do best the days I get outside for activity, we have an EP area with tonnes of trails near our house and I was really consistent getting out for a hike 4-5 times a week in the winter and for some reason I've had a harder time motivating myself to go that way when we leave for our walk in the morning, not sure why. So I'm going to challenge myself to not go two days in a row of not hiking this round.
Female - 51yrs - 5'5"
Goal weight - to hang out somewhere 145-150
R220 EW 4/21 - 170.8
4/22 - 171.0 - little blip up. I started feeling the TOM bloat yesterday and still a bit puffy this morning, hopefully it will flush out as TOM wraps up over the next day or so. It's pouring out, and not supposed to let up, so I might be starting this round with a non hike day, but we went yesterday. I know I can hike in the rain, but I really don't want to bathe the dog after LOL...he's curly haired and holds onto EVERYTHING when he gets wet.
4/23 - 172.2 - bleh! Yuck day yesterday...icky walk in the rain, grey and dreary, no motivation...except to make cookies for the boys...which of course required quality control. I know I didn't eat over 3500 calories in cookies though (probably only 500-600) so it's likely just retention shock from the carbs and sugar my body isn't used to anymore. Finishing my coffee and heading out to the woods for a hike since I missed it yesterday.
4/24 - 171.2 - back in the right direction. Got my hike in yesterday and stayed away from the cookies. Plan is to do the same today.

Woke up in the middle of the night with massive leg cramps-which usually means I did not drink enough water, I also felt bloated this morning. I will watch my water intake today-esp. If I step up my exercise to stay within my maintenance range. Hopefully, this too will pass.

4/24 - 126! I am really off the rails here. 4 full pounds above my maintenance range. We booked a beach vacation for Memorial Day week this morning so I am hoping to use feeling good in my bikini as a motivator to get back on track. I spent the weekend away from the challenge because I did a brief digital detox. In the process I realized how bad social media is for me, so I am going to stop it all together for a while. MFP doesn't fall in the same category as TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook.

4/22 - 181.8
Finally, though of course I could bounce back up. I looked back at records and I’ve been hovering here (180-182) for wayyyyy too long. The only good thing about a 3-year plateau is that I haven’t gone higher, and have obviously hit a stasis no matter what I eat (within reason). Sigh. I’ve got to get a grip.
4/23 - 183.2
No idea. Maybe salt/water. Not calories! Boy, it’s turned really cold again. Yuck. We’re getting pad Thai for lunch/dinner, and I’m going to enjoy every bite! Have a lovely Sunday, all.
4/24 - 181.8
That’s better, in spite of the pad Thai, which was delish. Today will be much lighter—light bran muffin for breakfast, salad with salmon for lunch, lentils and brown rice for dinner. It’s chilly right now but should be nice for a walk in a couple of hours. Have a great Monday!

- Binge-Free & Sugar-Free for 100 days (46 days at the beginning of this round)
- Reduce added salt
- Lots of veggies and protein, some fruit (very little processed foods or simple carbs which I hardly ever have)
- I need to figure out a way to get more fiber, especially from grains.

Round 221
Previous Days' Notes:4/22: DNW Walk/Bike✅ Water✅ Calories✅ I'm not weighing for a few more days. I ate at maintenance for two days and at my low end of my calorie range yesterday. I was looking thru my summer clothes that I haven't worn for at least 7 or 8 years and the tops look so small. I'm small boned but did I really wear those? I'll have to revaluate my goal weight when I get closer because I think I'll be shooting for something a little higher. But figuring that out will be a good problem to have that I look so forward to!
4/23: DNW Walk/Bike✅ Water✅ Calories✅ I'm still not weighing. I can just tell I will weigh more after eating chili for days. I didn't cook any dry beans and used canned, so full of salt. I ate at maintenance for a couple of days, and then my lower calorie range the past 2 days. I'm going to weigh tomorrow and hope to still see the 160's.
I reread my post from yesterday and it sounds like I'm saying I could now wear the summer clothes from 7 or 8 years ago - I WISH! I was trying to say
how small they look, and they do not fit me yet, and do I even want to get that small again. I think a lot of people have a certain weight that's stuck in their head as their ideal weight to get back to. Mine is 115, which is what I weighed when I wore these clothes. I need to reevaluate that when I get closer because I don't think I'll want to go that small again. We shall see....
4/22: DNW
4/23: DNW
4/24: 168.8 Bike✅ Water✅ Calories✅ I am so happy to see this number this morning. It's been 7 weeks today that I started my 100-day binge-free and sugar-free challenge. I've lost 11 pounds. That's 1.5 pounds per week. I had just binged for 2 days prior to starting the challenge on March 6 so lost the first 2 pounds of water weight fast, so it's more like 1.3 pounds per week, either way I'm extremely happy. My calorie cycling weekly average was 1350 even with a few maintenace days averaged in. I rowed, biked or walked most days. And I feel so much better! I have definitely learned from all of you that losing weight is not a down-hill hike, you have valleys and hills, and booby-traps the entire journey.

5/01:Bingeing is why I'm where I am now. I want to see the results with 100 days of no bingeing. I'm not talking about going over calories from overeating a little, I'm talking full-out bingeing. And that's not just on bad foods, even when I'm eating well, I'll binge. This will be extremely challenging but if I stick to it (and stay off sugar and simple carbs to stop cravings), there is no way I'm not going to see consistent weight loss during these 100 days (not to mention the health benefits)! Part of this challenge, too, is if I do have a slip, that I don't revert back to old habits of bingeing for days/weeks/months. I will acknowledge the slip, celebrate that it didn't derail me, and just keep on keeping on.100-day Binge-free Challenge starting March 6…
I want to see what happens when I don't give up!

Breaking the salt habit (replace with spices and herbs) starting April 16. Plan: 10 days 1/2 tsp, then 10 days 1/4 tps, then 10 days 1/8 tsp, lastly no added sugar (maybe?)
✳= 1 day 1/2 tsp added salt / ✴= 1 day 1/4 tsp added salt / ☑= 1/8 tsp added salt / ^=1 oops Day

I decided to start at 1/2 tsp for 10 days because I was having a hard time getting started. To my surprise, I've had salt left over each day - yay!
100-Day Weight Tracking to remind me that fluxations are normal and that you can stay at a certain weight for days/weeks but it will eventually come off - so be patient and stick with the plan!March 06 - Day 00: 179.6 Day after 2-day binge
