Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 231
Replies

So wonderful to be back, you all are so supportive and entertaining and inspiring to read. Spent the last 10 days traveling for work then catching an awful cold. I finally can breathe thru my nose again, was lucky just went sideways weight wise, because just could not put much energy into anything . So bummer part is I need to learn the habit of weighing my food again, that seems to be the key to self control for me. So these next 10 days, weigh my food and weigh my self. Reaching my goal so need to except slower loss. Want to rebuild my resting squats back to 6 minutes.
SW Round 231
RGW: 120.06
7/31- 121.04,- Running late this morning, off to PT- should er really bothering me, comb of too much pickleball but I think I overdid my exercises too. 2 minutes resting squats so far. Got dressed and had to undress to weigh myself...need to start off right. Love when 10 days starts on a Monday.
8/1- 121.4, Its fun to entertain yourself- I kind of binged yesterday, was feeling sorry for myself, just being kind of pathetic, but God Blessed me- i did go play pickleball last night, actually was virtually painfree after PT, and despite having potato chips for a snack and then I added a lot of unmeasured goodies to my cauliflower pizza, came out even! I was sure I blew it or would at least be bloated which messes me mentally up too. Hope to do better today. 2 minutes squats yesterday.
8/2- 122.0 This was bound to happen- I have been pushing it on calories and sodium- So not exactly sure what affecting me right now, but I am suspicious of the sodium and water retention. i really had a lot of salt yesterday and it always seems to take a day to catch up and a dy or two to even out- I am going to try not only rebalance my body but take this moment to try and rebalance my my and not become overly reactionary- Talking great words here- Only time will tell if I have convinced my self- 2:30 squat.

Solid day- maintained a strong determination. Kept visualizing the many benefits of staying focused. This is a major inner-battle w/ my thought processes & keeping commitments to myself - a marathon. My hope is that food is a fuel- not a constant thought/battle with ups/downs.
Truly filled with hope for optimum long-term health. Goal is to stop the 🎢 roller coaster.
Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻👆🏻

Ok, it is what it is. I went over my calorie goal, well below supposed maintenance. This afternoon I’m going to chart the past month or more of calories and weights to see how my record aligns with MFP and Sailrabbit and adjust from there. I feel really bloated and disgusted with myself, but I’m trying to put an “in control” spin on it. I think I’ll make my bead-free salmon patties for dinner — they’re filling and virtuous.
8/01 - 185.4, 1456, 45 min.
Nope, had a measured portion of penne and chicken for dinner, and was really hungry when I got home from dog training in the evening. I’m going to have a very small lunch today, and grilled chicken with cauliflower for dinner. I had a good high-protein breakfast that should hold me through the day. I really think if I ate dinner later, I wouldn’t overeat. DH likes to eat early, so I’m going to have to figure out a system that will work. Sit down with him, warm mine up later? Maybe. For 31+ years, I’ve eaten mainly by his schedule because he’s very scheduled/organized/routine-driven and I’m not, so whatever. But the early dinners just aren’t working for me anymore. Anyone else live with someone with a very different internal food schedule? How do you handle it?
8/02 - 185, 1836, 40 min.
Once again, my calories were great until late evening, and then I went on a carb rampage. Ugh.

Back again... after three years!!
Many things happened and lost somewhat my way in terms of weight... But I find myself again in need of contact with a community of people that know the struggle, and that it's not "just stop eating"....
Gained approximately 40 pounds (20kgr)..
Tried drastic measured to get back to track to no avail... So I am now taking it one day at a time, with baby steps and realistic goals!
CW 173.5 lbs (78.7 kgr)
GW for the 10 days 165 lbs (75 kgr)
UGW 125 lbs (57 kgr)
8/02 -78.7 lbs (last night I tried the treadmill after soooo long, next step some streching!)

8/02 - DNW - I did step on the scale and it was bouncing around the 153.2 range but I did not let it stop and record. It was enough to give me an idea of where I am so I can slowly adjust today and tomorrow. I was over on calories a significant amount yesterday but I never once felt overly full or stuffed, just content and satisfied so I'm alright with that. It was a very lazy day, I didn't even hit 5,000 steps and no workout so that was a huge reason for it. Today I've finished my last kettlebell workout and walked the dogs. I'm aiming to hit my 10k steps and move every hour goals. Dinner is at Fam's tonight as a goodbye for the kids and I've pre-logged as estimates what I think will be involved.

8/01 - Ended up standing in for 2 softball games unexpectedly last night. Got home late and therefore slept in as long as work would allow. I'm sore, dehydrated, and tired so no weigh-in. I might not weigh at all this round - too much going on. I'll see how I'm feeling or if my curiosity gets the best of me this week. The kids want me to go with them Friday to drop off with their mom which means more travel and an overnight stay (read: sitting long hours in a vehicle and eating out). I may weigh on Friday morning before we leave just to see if I got back down to where I was before this past weekend. I'd be okay simply maintaining the 152.x throughout all this travel. Going to be on my best behavior these next few days.

Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.
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. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing 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!

7/31 – 125.6 (Renpho 125.6) Over the weekend (end round 230), I enjoyed getting to test out the Renpho “solo”, so I only had it to trust. As long as my suitcase weight will allow it, it will be traveling with me to Scotland and Amsterdam in the fall. Yesterday finished with LOTS of bad behavior, so the old me is still clearly inside and will likely always be. Fortunately, I had gotten under my goal range last week, so the damage was not so devastating. I expect today, and hopefully all of round 231 to be my new “normal”. Still of course juggling parent obligations, but pretty much back to how it was prior to my sister’s visit in early July. Hoping you are all well, and I will be back to keeping up with posts this round. Or so I hope!!
8/1 – 124.6 Stayed under on today calories yesterday, though probably not the most nutritionally balanced. Something I need to return to.
8/2 – 125.8 (Renpho 125.8) Yes, yesterday I was off the rails AND not nutritionally balanced.

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 6 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
Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

7/31 130.5 Late post! Went to water fitness, came home, showered, went to help DD#2 at school, came home and had some leftover steak and got on here. Going back to help DD again tomorrow. I’m seriously lacking water today!
8/1 130.5 I thought I did well yesterday. Today will be better.
8/2 130.0 Surprised, this little fro is probably the result of what I ate the day before yesterday. Jimmy John’s Unwich last night but I ate salt and vinegar chips. YUM! Today breakfast out with DH & friend, mani appt, and back to DD’s school to work in library. She got her certification this summer and is officially a librarian not a “teacher working as a librarian.”6 -

7/31 – 125.6 (Renpho 125.6) Over the weekend (end round 230), I enjoyed getting to test out the Renpho “solo”, so I only had it to trust. As long as my suitcase weight will allow it, it will be traveling with me to Scotland and Amsterdam in the fall. Yesterday finished with LOTS of bad behavior, so the old me is still clearly inside and will likely always be. Fortunately, I had gotten under my goal range last week, so the damage was not so devastating. I expect today, and hopefully all of round 231 to be my new “normal”. Still of course juggling parent obligations, but pretty much back to how it was prior to my sister’s visit in early July. Hoping you are all well, and I will be back to keeping up with posts this round. Or so I hope!!
8/1 – 124.6 Stayed under on today calories yesterday, though probably not the most nutritionally balanced. Something I need to return to.
8/2 – 125.8 (Renpho 125.8) Yes, yesterday I was off the rails AND not nutritionally balanced.

8/1 - 179.8Was a crazy day. The swamper pump went out. Thank goodness it was overly cloudy. 99F outside, 85F inside. The breeze outside made it bearable. Hubby installed a spare pump we had in the garage, after he got home from work. So much cool air! Slept great!8/2 - 179.2 Today was a CT scan of the kidneys, then shopping at Walmart. Got in some extra steps. Felt good. Got home let chickens out. Working on getting more protein. Water goal: 20 oz of 60 oz done.

If I quit now, I will soon be back to where I started. And when I started, I so desperately wanted to be where I am now.
Goal: Shoot for a healthy balance of nutritious food each day, and 80oz of water. Only write down what I eat without measuring or counting calories. I'm trying this out for size. It's not like I can't tell by now what is a healthy serving size. And, I'm hoping it makes me feel like I'm just living life while losing weight and not obsessing over every oz of food. We shall see....
07/31 - DNW
08/01 - 168.2 - I'm glad to start a new round. I've been slacking off, and I hope to do better this round.
08/02 - 167.6 - Past two days have been really good when it comes to eating more vegetables and drinking more water. Rebuilding habits.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Round 231
MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 63 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.
ROUND 188 FOR ME.
“Today….I am choosing Me”
MY STATS:
Highest weight ever (05-10-2016): 253
Original starting weight on MFP: (01-11-2018) 235.0
R230 EW= 194.2
R231 EW= TBD
Current New Goals:
Weight:
Short Term Goal: To weigh less at the end of this round than I did at the end of the last round.
Final goal: 145-155. We’ll see how I look & feel when I get there.
Exercise: Move 30 minutes per day rotating activity.
Mini challenge: My monthly goal is always about 5 pounds per month. HOWEVER, I never seem to make that. I will continue to keep that goal because it Should Be achievable (even though it is not for me) but never say never, right? So, Between Independence Day Holiday (July 4th) and Labor Day Holiday (Sept 4th) I will weigh somewhere, ANYWHERE in the 180’s. I don’t care if it’s on the brim. I’ve got to start getting further away from the 200’s again! Starting Weight on 7/4 is 195.4.
COLOR CODE: Fuchsia is a Happy Weight Loss for me. Blue is a sad weight gain.Black is no change.

07/31 -193.8- (Trend weight 195.4)
08/01 -193.6- (Trend weight 195.2) I put in a lot of various and random exercises yesterday but I didn’t get my water in. I’ll work on that today. Tomorrow I travel to the hospital for a CT scan of my lungs. They are still watching me for the nodule they found there a few years ago. My oncology appt at the University Hospital is closer to the end of the month and they want the information ahead of time. They keep checking it for behaviors of cancer, growth and signs to the breast cancer I had metastasizing. Hopefully things are still looking manageable and okay. My weight will be up after travel but were are still in the first half of the challenge so I should be able to stabilize before the end.
08/02 -194.6- (Trend weight 195.2) I was absolutely FLOORED when I stepped on the scale all 5 times during this earlier than usual weigh-in before travel. Up a FULL pound? I was under 1000 calories for the day yesterday, no exercise because of no time, a good elimination for TMI. Why oh Why? I can only figure that it was no sleep and up early today for the travel to CT scan? I dunno. We’ll see what happens in the next couple of days after travel and the dust settles.

About Me:This is my third round and really appreciated the having someplace to stay accountable to.
Thanks to a medication I'm on for my mental health and an overeating habit, I managed to gain a lot of weight in the last year or so. On July 4, I stepped on the scale for the first time since I started the med (that is known to cause weight gain) and decided enough was enough. I buckled down and started actually recording my food for the first time in over five years and started walking every day. Now I need motivation to keep going.

RND 229 - SW: 287.8; FW: 280.4 (-7.4)

SW: 276.0
GW (short term): 250
RGW: 273
7/31 - 276.2 - 2.86 miles - Curious that I've increased my walk by nearly two miles and I'm actually gaining weight. I try to stay within the original calorie goal (ignoring exercise calories), but I don't measure everything precisely and I think those calories are starting to add up. I've been wanting lots of snacks, especially since my husband bought potato chips (my trigger food) and I'm now craving them because they are in the house. I spend half my time trying not to think about them. Made chicken noodle soup tonight and it should be about 400 calories for a two cup serving (which fills our soup bowls) but I probably got way more noodles for the first helping because it's all floating on top so who knows how many calories I had. Now I have to convince myself to not have Veggie Straws or a piece of chocolate bar.
8/1 - 273.8 - 2.93 miles - My weight finally went down, but I have no idea why it went so far. I weighed myself twice, once after cleaning underneath the scale to make sure something wasn't affecting it. My body is so weird sometimes. I've decided to try and up my walking to two miles every day this month. It was okay the first three days I did nearly three miles, but today was rough. I have to figure out where I need to turn around for it to be only two miles because my route right now is three miles and it's going to be too hard to keep up long-term right now. But one mile feels way too short now after doing it every day for a month. We'll see how it goes.
8/2 - 273.2 - 2.25 miles - Reduced my miles today because I knew I was going to be doing some hard labor in the yard. My husband bought a bunch of bags of mulch but our side yard is covered in rocks. So I spent almost two hours after my walk, shoveling as much of the rocks as I could and carrying them to the back of our property. Then I put out three bags of mulch. Covered like a 1/5 of the yard. I feel surprisingly well after all that work. No big pains in my back, shoulders or arms. My legs are sore from the walk but that's normal. I'll be out there again tomorrow morning before the heat gets too bad. I have 6 more bags to put out so a lot of rocks to haul. And that definitely will not cover even half probably.

Back again... after three years!!
39 years old...
Many things happened and lost somewhat my way in terms of weight... But I find myself again in need of contact with a community of people that know the struggle, and that it's not "just stop eating"....
Gained approximately 40 pounds (20kgr)..
Tried drastic measured to get back to track to no avail... So I am now taking it one day at a time, with baby steps and realistic goals!
CW 173.5 lbs (78.7 kgr)
GW for the 10 days 165 lbs (75 kgr)
UGW 125 lbs (57 kgr)
8/02 -173.5 lbs (78.7 kgr) (last night I tried the treadmill after soooo long, next step some streching!)
8/03 -173.5 lbs (78.7 kgr) Same. Somehow my body refuses to lose weight daily... Even 100 gramms... Eventhough I went for 90 min walk with healthy food choices
Perhaps I will need to adjust my 10 days goal..We will see!

7/31 219 Well, I missed a whole month! My intentions were good on the 1st but I guess I needed to focus on the new bio dad & sibling situation. Even with a trip to meet them all I had no significant weight gain so that is a good thing. I am only up today because I ate cookies yesterday. August WILL BE my month to get back on track.
8/1 218.6. Still more cookies yesterday but today is already a better day!
8/2 218.6
8/3 218.6 hmmm. Not the big comeback that I had planned. I am almost back to normal mentally so I don’t have any excuses. I did some snacking yesterday & I know I ate when I was not hungry. I think I need to do an extended fast to reset. Yoga this morning & then I will catch up on paperwork. I had my staff do all of the filing for the past 2 months yesterday which will help a lot.

So wonderful to be back, you all are so supportive and entertaining and inspiring to read. Spent the last 10 days traveling for work then catching an awful cold. I finally can breathe thru my nose again, was lucky just went sideways weight wise, because just could not put much energy into anything . So bummer part is I need to learn the habit of weighing my food again, that seems to be the key to self control for me. So these next 10 days, weigh my food and weigh my self. Reaching my goal so need to except slower loss. Want to rebuild my resting squats back to 6 minutes.
SW Round 231
RGW: 120.06
7/31- 121.04,- Running late this morning, off to PT- should er really bothering me, comb of too much pickleball but I think I overdid my exercises too. 2 minutes resting squats so far. Got dressed and had to undress to weigh myself...need to start off right. Love when 10 days starts on a Monday.
8/1- 121.4, Its fun to entertain yourself- I kind of binged yesterday, was feeling sorry for myself, just being kind of pathetic, but God Blessed me- i did go play pickleball last night, actually was virtually painfree after PT, and despite having potato chips for a snack and then I added a lot of unmeasured goodies to my cauliflower pizza, came out even! I was sure I blew it or would at least be bloated which messes me mentally up too. Hope to do better today. 2 minutes squats yesterday.
8/2- 122.0 This was bound to happen- I have been pushing it on calories and sodium- So not exactly sure what affecting me right now, but I am suspicious of the sodium and water retention. i really had a lot of salt yesterday and it always seems to take a day to catch up and a day or two to even out- I am going to try not only rebalance my body but take this moment to try and rebalance my my and not become overly reactionary- Talking great words here- Only time will tell if I have convinced my self- 2:30 squat.
8/3- 121.0 Mr. Toad's Wild Ride over here! I honestly have no idea every morning what the scale will say. Trying to find peace with God in other areas of my life, accepting change and not trying to be controlling. I did not think that meant to except that I can not even control the scale - God is trying to tell me something, hope I will listen. Been suffering with being excessively tired for a week or 2- I have always had trouble sleeping, my natural progesterone is off, it peaks at wrong time of day...but lately have been exhausted, falling asleep at my desk constantly and then wide awake at 11 pm. Started taking my vitamins again, i think I need to check into this, it is getting out of hand.

8/03 - DNW - I'm not doing well about sticking to habits on this short week. Went to Fam's as a goodbye, LittleBro requested egg drop soup and fried rice - hello sodium bloat. I also went back for seconds prematurely and ended up well overstuffed. Oops. You'd think I'd know by now! Hopefully today is better. I'm making homemade biscuits with sausage gravy (all from scratch) since BF and LittleBro both wanted it. I walked the dogs already and will continue to move through the day as well as stretch. My legs are still incredibly sore from Monday's softball. Oof. I'm so out of shape

8/01 - Ended up standing in for 2 softball games unexpectedly last night. Got home late and therefore slept in as long as work would allow. I'm sore, dehydrated, and tired so no weigh-in. I might not weigh at all this round - too much going on. I'll see how I'm feeling or if my curiosity gets the best of me this week. The kids want me to go with them Friday to drop off with their mom which means more travel and an overnight stay (read: sitting long hours in a vehicle and eating out). I may weigh on Friday morning before we leave just to see if I got back down to where I was before this past weekend. I'd be okay simply maintaining the 152.x throughout all this travel. Going to be on my best behavior these next few days.
8/02 - I did step on the scale and it was bouncing around the 153.2 range but I did not let it stop and record. It was enough to give me an idea of where I am so I can slowly adjust today and tomorrow. I was over on calories a significant amount yesterday but I never once felt overly full or stuffed, just content and satisfied so I'm alright with that. It was a very lazy day, I didn't even hit 5,000 steps and no workout so that was a huge reason for it. Today I've finished my last kettlebell workout and walked the dogs. I'm aiming to hit my 10k steps and move every hour goals. Dinner is at Fam's tonight as a goodbye for the kids and I've pre-logged as estimates what I think will be involved.

If I quit now, I will soon be back to where I started. And when I started, I so desperately wanted to be where I am now.
Goal: Shoot for a healthy balance of nutritious food each day, and 80oz of water. Only write down what I eat without measuring or counting calories. I'm trying this out for size. It's not like I can't tell by now what is a healthy serving size. And, I'm hoping it makes me feel like I'm just living life while losing weight and not obsessing over every oz of food. We shall see....
07/31 - DNW
08/01 - 168.2 - I'm glad to start a new round. I've been slacking off, and I hope to do better this round.
08/02 - 167.6 - Past two days have been really good when it comes to eating more vegetables and drinking more water. Rebuilding habits.
08/03 - 167.4 - I'm really liking my more relaxed stance of not obsessively tracking. It's hard to get my head around at first because not tracking obsessively makes me nervous. I have to see exactly what I'm doing to stay on track. I've tried it before and it didn't work, but neither did tracking obsessively. I know there is a middle ground. Note to self: You can try anything - nothing is written in stone - you can evalulate and adjust every min, every hour, every day, every week if you so choose..it's okay.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Ok, it is what it is. I went over my calorie goal, well below supposed maintenance. This afternoon I’m going to chart the past month or more of calories and weights to see how my record aligns with MFP and Sailrabbit and adjust from there. I feel really bloated and disgusted with myself, but I’m trying to put an “in control” spin on it. I think I’ll make my bead-free salmon patties for dinner — they’re filling and virtuous.
8/01 - 185.4, 1456, 45 min.
Nope, had a measured portion of penne and chicken for dinner, and was really hungry when I got home from dog training in the evening. I’m going to have a very small lunch today, and grilled chicken with cauliflower for dinner. I had a good high-protein breakfast that should hold me through the day. I really think if I ate dinner later, I wouldn’t overeat. DH likes to eat early, so I’m going to have to figure out a system that will work. Sit down with him, warm mine up later? Maybe. For 31+ years, I’ve eaten mainly by his schedule because he’s very scheduled/organized/routine-driven and I’m not, so whatever. But the early dinners just aren’t working for me anymore. Anyone else live with someone with a very different internal food schedule? How do you handle it?
8/02 - 185, 1836, 40 min.
Once again, my calories were great until late evening, and then I went on a carb rampage. Ugh.
8/03 - 185.2, 1542, 65 min.
Ok, better all around yesterday. I’m off in a few minutes for my post-cataract-surgery checkup with my regular doctor, hoping he clears me for a new prescription—my vision is blurry with my glasses. Yesterday I took Booker to the vet to weigh him — 59 lbs! Then we went to a city park that is a farm and had a lovely walk, and he saw his first chickens. 🐓 Being out there adjusted my attitude a bit — I’ve spent so much of the summer at home pulling weeds, I was kind of down. I realized how I’ve missed getting out to our beautiful parks, so I’ll be doing more of that. Also set some goals for Booker’s training, aiming to be ready for scent/nose work trials this fall, and get serious about tracking and obedience and his advanced trick dog titles. Fun, and something on my mind other than weight and food.
