Round 228
July 1- 10, 2023

Please join us starting on 7/1 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 228.

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.

If you feel your post is too lengthy, you can add spoilers to temporarily hide the information. It is readily available by tapping the SPOILER bar. To create a Spoiler just type or copy [ Spoiler ] xxx [ /Spoiler ] Omit the spaces within the brackets and put your information where I have xxx

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE

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!

Thanks for another round Jane! Unfortunately i didnt finish off last round due to illness. I treated myself to lots of snacks and put a lot of weight back on 😮‍💨 but such is life, and doesn't mean I give up. So here I am again, feeling better and ready to get back to eating well and losing weight. This round I would really like to establish a strong routine. I'm always at my happiest and most energised when I have a strong routine. It takes effort, but it's worth it.
Round 225 EW 66.2kg

Round 227 EW 66.4kg

37F 5ft 7 SW 67.5kg GW 60kg CW 67.1kg round 228
1 July 67.1kg - hoping I can lose the gain just as quick as it went back on. I'm sure a lot of it is water weight and inflammation from carbs and sugar. It's okay to have a slip, as long as you get back on and don't beat yourself up about it. 🙌🏼

I wish I could say I was new to this, I am not..but back again because nothing has worked better for me then this supportive Community. Taking time to write and contemplate my daily choices, food, exercises, so many others since my life has become so very complicated. I am going to focus on recording what I eat, this in the past has stemmed my binging (not sure if the right word but eating more at one time then I should). I love to cook and eat healthy homemade food, but sometimes it is harder to figure out the calorie count. Sadly I do not have the luxury of time during the work week , but starting with this 4 day weekend I hope I can begin the template for success.

Hey everyone! Hope you had a good June. I went on vacation and was happy to hold my weight steady while relaxing everything, including what I ate, except my tracking. So, I skipped a few rounds here but now, it’s a new month, I’m ready to get back to losing!

65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 228 (my 159th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round.
Goal this round is yet again the same as last; to get back under and stay under 139. Holiday to Menorca is in 72 days, if I don’t crack on I’ll be needing to purchase a bigger size in holiday clothes and I do not want to do that. So, 72 days, 7 rounds at a pound per round should easily get me to where I want to be, only I can do it, I’ve done it before so I can do it again if I knuckle down otherwise before I know it I be up in the 150’s. Cuz that’s how weight just keeps creeping up on one !!! Really try to stay on track. After all I am what I eat in more ways than one, my whole demeanour is totally different when I am happy with myself!!

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!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

6/30 139.8 – no structured walking as childminding little DGS & school run for older DGS, hence calories over, but no binge which often a Thursday does . Didn’t make the under 139 but feeling more positive and have lost 1.2 pound since end of last round. On to the next round & July !!

SW RND 228 139.2
7/1 139.2 – 5.8 miles walked, calories 247, carbs 50g & fat 17g over. We travelled down to St. Neots in Cambridgeshire for a 5 day break (brought scales with me !!) had cheese & crackers for lunch, with small glass port – mmmm. But restricted portion.
Wishing everyone a good & successful round.

I am coming off a 10-day maintenance round. I’m experimenting with a cycle of doing 10 days at a deficit followed by 10 days at or just above maintenance. Repeat. It’s partly inspired by the MATADOR study but mostly is just my way of making this process sustainable.

7/1 142.8 (trend 142.7) Ok, back to normal today. 2lbs up from the day I left for my holiday, not that bad! We got back at 3am last night and managed to resist stopping for food at the services on the motorway. I'm glad it's the first of the month and the start of a new round, else I might have been tempted to put off getting back to tracking until after the weekend. We had a bit of a disaster on the way to the airport. OH had strained his back putting the bikes in the shed so I'd had to do all the heavy lifting putting things in the car etc. When we stopped to refuel the hire car, I had to do it, which isn't something I've done in Portugal before. I got all flustered trying to prepay for the fuel with my limited Portuguese and ended up putting diesel in the petrol car! 5 minutes later we had broken down on the highway and had to call for recovery. Luckily our flight was delayed or we would have missed it, but I'm dreading finding out how much it's going to all cost us and am feeling very cross at myself about it all. OH has been quite chilled about it so far, but let's see when the bill comes in.

Round 228
7/1 224 (-2.2) 22 hr fast. I kind of accidentally did this long of a fast. I got to 18 hrs and wasn't really hungry so thought I'd go longer. I'm heading into a long weekend where there will be alcohol and treats so I expect an uptick for the beginning half of this round.

Day, Weight, Comment
7/01 #125 -Starting up from yesterday, but may have not been truthful counting calories yesterday either- so need to not lie to myself should be added to goal. Injured myself play pickleball ( my favorite activity) in May. Going to try playing for a short time this morning, scared and excited. Think I will come home afterwards and do my PT exercises and cardio once I see how it goes.

7/1-165-Yard work, moving the shredded wood; it’s like Fat Camp and yesterday was my 4th day of doing it and you would think I would weigh 10 lbs. less from that grueling task.
Quilting an old quilt top that was donated to our guild. Some dear soul hand pieced these colorful fans onto muslin blocks. Nobody wanted to hand quilt it, so I am doing it on my long arm quilting machine and it’s taking forever because I want to quilt it densely to protect all of the seams. It will get sold at our guild boutique.
Later this morning I will meet my friend to finish going through boxes of fabric that were donated to our guild; a quilter passed away. We can’t believe how much fabric this lady had and it scares me to think about doing that to my kids. So, I am now on a mission to use up all of my fabric. I am going to do this, by making quilt backs for all of the tops that are donated to our guild.
Heading to a surprise birthday party this afternoon and it’s an outdoor party and it’s supposed to be 105 when the party starts. Hmmm.

Hellooooo! I totally forgot to post yesterday to finish round 227....but basically it was a wash. I maintained in a two pound range through the whole month of June. Came to the conclusion that this summer is going to be tricky to keep to any type of routine so I'm ok with just trying to stay where I am until fall when we settle back to normal at home. We leave for our UK trip on the 9th so I won't be able to finish this round...but will keep this part of what little routine I have going until then.

7/01 - 153.0 - Sodium blip. BF wanted out of the house (don't blame him) so we went and got Japanese at a new place. This one was definitely more mom-and-pop shop, homemade versus the other place which has more of a chain restaurant vibe. I did really well with pushing my plate to be taken away after piling my trash on it once I was full, a HUGE NSV. I'd normally feel obligated to pick at it while others ate and try to finish it to get my "money's worth". I didn't leave hungry, my taste buds were satisfied (even happy as I was craving sesame chicken), and I didn't feel sick from overeating. That was my money's worth despite there being more food on the plate. Not sure plan today other than SD has a "volunteer" job (they get paid but it's just to help increase staffing for a one-day event) from 1-9. Then that place puts on fireworks from 9-9:30 so we're hanging out at the fire station (upon request) in case of need (so dry with these record temperatures). LittleBro will come with us and SD will meet us there (it's maaaaaybe 1/4mile walk from the place she's working) to watch the fireworks together. Once I post and catch up reading, I'll stretch my poor sore hamstrings out while I read as everyone is still asleep.

Thanks @quiltingjaine!

Hey everyone! Hope you had a good June. I went on vacation and was happy to hold my weight steady while relaxing everything, including what I ate, except my tracking. So, I skipped a few rounds here but now, it’s a new month, I’m ready to get back to losing!

I was wondering where you went and got a little worried. I'm glad you were able to get away, relax, and hold steady! I'm also glad to see you back with us.
