Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 233
Replies
-
Starting here, starting my day - I already feel better.Had to travel all last week for work, no scales, out to dinner, out to lunch, even food choice in morning were so limited due to time constraints. I was so nervous to weigh myself this morning, but I put on / actually took off my big girl socks and was shocked to see I was still in the 119's barely...This week is going to be about getting back to normal healthy eating.

8/20 - To scared to look yesterday
8/21 119.8
8/22 119.6 - Hot and sweaty here in Midwest...played pickleball last 3 days and sweated an unbelievable amount. Funny because had planned to eat 3 of my protein cookies for dessert last night but just drank water, I think the heat dulled my craving. As for the "Ben Franklin Effect" I have not heard of and will need to look into... hitting way to close to my home and experience.
8/23 119.4 -Nice surprise- especially as I approach my goal weight. Started my new medication yesterday was feeling little funky all day, doctor said could take 3 days to 2 weeks to normalize- but the goal was to be awake in day time and I was but not be wired which also surprising was not wired too. Sadly still woke early and did not feel well rested- - which is something I rarely feel anyways. Doctor ordered sleep study...does concur with narcolepsy diagnosis and being referred me to a specialist- so feeling blessed may have this one dysfunction managed. Then on to everything else.

8/22 214.2 happily taking this loss. I am not fasting or tracking but I have food prepped & I have been pretty consistent. It was my son’s birthday weekend so certainly not perfect. I may fast for the rest of the week or I may just eat the low carb food I have prepared & see if I get the same results without the suffering. Not sure about this weigh in.
8/23 216. Well... This weight goes more with the lower weigh in since I had pizza last night for supper. I think I will change the batteries in my bathroom scale and compare with my travel scale since I need to put batteries in that to bring camping next week. In the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter much but I would still like to have the scale as a tool.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

Round 233
August 20 – Aug 29, 2023
61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
SW current MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126
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!

8/20 - 124.6
8/21 – 124.8 Yesterday was within reason. Not perfect, but a sign I can get back on track.
Dealing with my parents issues and puts me in a place where I can forget self care. Friday, I find my father has been mismedicating my mother in two says which explains her request for new/additional pain meds, and the recent onset of bowel urgency. This public discovery by me then set him up to be combative the rest of the day. 2022 taxes are still not finished. So I have tasked him to spend ONE HOUR over the weekend to finish it. Saturday night (I have been calling at least twice a day for the past month), I check in at 7:15 to remind that is the time for the night pills. My mother says “I already took them at 7. We decided to change it to a whole number.” Now, does 15 minute matter? Likely not. But combined with the fact she already made me move them from 7:45 to 7:15, and then learning of wrong medications the previous day, AND no sign my father has done anything productive, just set me off. Oh, and she refuses to mute the TV that is 3 feet away from her while talking to me, but wants me to call MORE. She was happily controlling the TV while my father was in the hospital once I taught her, now she refuses. I am not proud, but I am radio silent for a bit. Efforts are not reciprocated. Sorry for the rant. Siblings state platitudes when I share what is going on.
Has anyone heard of the Benjamin Franklin Effect. From a reddit discussion (set off a lightbulb for me): “The sad psychological fact is, people like you more after they do favors for you, and like you less after you do favors for them… counter-intuitive but true.” This might explain my problem.
I hope everyone has been doing well!!
PS DGS#2 has decided to show up late. He older brother came on his due date, so we are a little surprised. Still waiting for him to show.
8/22 – 124.8 Ate perfectly yesterday and caught up on a lot of things, but no exercise. Happy enough. AND DGS#2 surprised me by arriving at 3:01 this morning. I was still texting my daughter at home at 11:30 last night. No real details yet. In a few, I am driving to their house to pick up the cats to babysit them for a couple weeks. Will be four kitties in our home and NO they do not all get along. But have done it plenty before.
8/23 – 124.2 Hairballs and humans got their weigh in. I did this also on January 1st when cat sitting also, and was “day 1” for me returning to better choices.

Got to visit at the hospital yesterday and meet #2 and see DD and SIL. Labor went well and relatively uncomplicated. What is wild and will be interesting to see is #1 and #2 were the same height and within .5 ounce at their births, and if you look at baby photos of the two, you cannot tell them apart. Curious if their similarities will remain as they get older.
PS Was not sure how to smile with invisalign in. :P12 -
Hi all, I'm Amanda, late joining this round but need this group! I am so stalled 10 lbs above my original goal weight. I don't know if I necessarily want to weigh 120 but I would like to shed a few for sure!
SW Round 233: 129.0 on 8/19
8/20: 130.0
8/21: 130.2 Hmpf! Hoping my body is holding on to water from pizza and wings for dinner, plus achy muscles after running 9 miles yesterday. I have 3 more full training weeks before the half-marathon on September 17th and I feel like I can definitely do it (albeit slowly)! I joined this RunDot program that has a customized training plan based on my own thresholds and it helps me not bonk when I'm running. It gives me pretty slow target paces but TBH I think that's really the best thing for me to avoid injury or burning out. It estimates that my pace will be 11:30 per mile which is okay with me! Anyway, today I'm just going to take my dog for a walk and do some strength training via Peloton. My dog Pancake returned from a 2-week board and train on Saturday and we haven't had a chance to practice a lot of her skills yet. So the walk will be less of a workout for me and more of a mental workout for her. She pulls on her leash really badly so it takes a lot of effort to keep her focused! Hoping one day she can just know that's the expectation. My other dog is at training now, and he isn't showing his trainer any of his issues which is super annoying. He usually lunges for cars and squirrels and such and I guess he just isn't doing it. His training may be the biggest financial mistake I've made in a while. Whoops.
8/22: 132!! I don't understand what's going on. Well, actually I do. I am eating too much. Yesterday I was so hungry during the day. I think a lot of it is due to my running and strength training, but I'm not finding the correct fuel for my body. Yesterday I had a binge session of sourdough toast with butter. 3 slices in sequence. 1 slice, break, 1 slice, break, and yet another slice. I really haven't been prone to binge snacking until recently. I also got a silly Starbucks coffee. Whyyy?? On the plus side, I finally got a good night's sleep last night!! My 2-year-old slept through. He's been waking up each night and climbing into my bed. I'm sure it won't happen again any time soon, but for today, I feel pretty good. Maybe that will help me with the snack choices.
8/23: 131. I did a lot better yesterday but still need to focus. I made chicken enchiladas and was surprised to see how many calories they rang in when I tracked them, whoops. They didn't FEEL like 700 calories each!! And I ate one plus what the 2yo left behind. So I ended up eating at least 500 over my allotment + my exercise calories, ugh. But at least I tracked! That is progress. Today is dog walk plus strength training. It's Pancake's last day as a solo pup since we pick her brother up tomorrow! I'm thinking of taking her on a hike since that will be harder with two dogs, but I probably need to actually do some work today. Maybe we'll just do a longer walk than normal.

@SModa61 I actually came to MFP hoping to see DGS news this morn. Congrats! And the ⚖️ for you &the kitty cats is hilarious! Saint of a grandmother/mom you are keeping those kittens! Keep it going!
My parents passed away within 13 months of each other with two years of decline before their passing… I was their primary caretaker (With other siblings close by of course). During that time, it was very, VERY hard, but as I look back, it was the most precious/rewarding/intimate time I’d ever spent with them. Times will get tough but you will appreciate these moments later (And the frustrations as to how you gutted through it) I promise.
@Antara_Kid Congrats on the 12- 3–45 and staying consistent! I will definitely jump on tomorrow, but the heat is just too much in the morning for me to have any energy in this afternoon… You are inspiring me!4 -

Yesterday was good food wise. I didn’t feel great — got my flu and RSV shots Thursday and I always react a bit, I’m such a delicate flower 🤪. The weather has been lovely but this week, starting today, is supposed to be hot hot hot. Off to water, then walk. Have a lovely Sunday, everyone!

Gaaa! Not only have my calories been high the past two days, but I feel bloated, although I haven’t been eating extra salt, at least. Do antihistamines cause water retention? I’ll have to look that up. I had/have an injection site reaction to my flu shot—red, itchy, inflamed—and I’ve been taking diphenhydramine (Benadryl) on advice of pharmacist. But why am I snacking so much, knowing I’m just undermining myself? A symptom of something else going on?
8/23 - 185.8, 1536
I did have some cheese last night as a snack, but did better—I weighed it and nibbled slowly and stuck with that. My arm is a lot better thanks at least partly to the Benadryl, but still red and slightly itchy. I’ve never reacted like that before. I’m meeting a friend for lunch — already checked the menu and I’m getting a grilled chicken salad, dressing on the side. DH wants brats for dinner, so I’ll have one and forego the bun. Now to stick with the plan! Off for a walk before the heat sets in—heat advisory for the next three days. Stay cool and safe, everyone.

8/23 - 152.6 - A drop is a drop! A lot of stress happening in this house so I'm rather surprised. I'm keeping to my goals and plans, though. I could dial in my eating a bit more, but I'm making progress slowly and the scale is showing it, one tenth of a pound at a time haha Once this morning's meetings are over, I'll hopefully have a little less work-related stress to deal with and can focus on managing my personal life stress in a healthy manner. Knocked out kettlebell strength and walking the pups for the day. Dinner is Tuscan chicken (new recipe I'm making). Lunch is veg orzo soup or stuffed pepper soup. Bread is gone so I might use a single slice of sandwich bread to soak up the last of the broth which is more calorie-friendly than the large slice of artisan bread.

Previous Day's Comments8/20 - I'm up a tad but I'm sure that's sodium. Instead of dinner, I ate chips and guac as a "dinner" snack. Lunch was late, but I was hungry while nobody else was so no "real" food for dinner. Today is a quiet day of working on the house. We got the loan approved to remodel our barely-functioning master bathroom, yippee! Bought the replacement power outlets and light switches for the entire house (a previous project) and looked at flooring/tile while there for the bathroom. Colors (paint, vanity, etc) will all be based on what we can get tile/flooring that is tasteful, to our liking, and within budget. We have a really good idea now so just planning a look at some other places first to see if there's anything we like more within budget elsewhere. The boys have an appointment this afternoon and while they're gone, I'll knock out grocery shopping. I've got every dinner except Friday figured out for this week and I'm about to figure out my lunches (meal prep) so I can finalize my grocery list. Also need to plan out my workouts. I have labs very early Tuesday and a doc appointment early Friday so I'll have to plan around those. I'll be happy to get back to routine.
8/21 - Yesterday was the first full day of eating at home since last Monday and I was graced with a drop in return. Stuffed pepper soup with homemade artisan bread. We got 75% of the light switches and outlets replaced. It looks so much better. My poor hands hurt, though, from all the wires and such. I'm feeling very optimistic. I have healthy veggie-filled lunch options (leftover orzo veg soup frozen awhile back and leftover stuffed pepper soup from last night). Dinner has some good veg as well, which I'm cooking. I knocked out my kettlebell workout and a walk with the pups. Labs tomorrow morning and I'm exited to see if there's an improvement from last year with me sticking to my goals so well. Busy busy work the first half of this week so hoping for good meditation opportunities to help with stress relief.
8/22 - Whoohoo! The drop I've been looking for. Crazy because I ended up snacking on some of the leftover homemade donuts from the weekend as I was craving sweets and I was well over on calories. I'm also quite sore today from yesterday's kettlebell workout I did so I'm sure I'm holding on to some water there. I'm slowly getting back on track with my habits and I'm happy to see even the small changes are showing progress, even if that progress is only dropping the excess bloat/water from travel and weekend shenanigans. I need to get my eating back on track fully - no more snacking and pay attention to portions/body cues! Today I'm heading in to get labs done here shortly so no morning walk with pups. I'm not sure who is more disappointed - me or them! I've found it's so much harder to get my 10k steps when I don't have a morning walk. Those 1700-2000 steps really kickstart my day, even though it seems like such a small amount overall. I can't wait until it cools down enough in the evenings for after dinner walks with the pups. That also means morning runs to prepare for my 5k in November I've put off training for. Silly weather.

@Anabirgite The Benjamin Franklin effect is so counter intuitive to me. Hope all is well for you!
@SheilaBoneham FYI I will never look at Benadryl the same again, after this summer. As I have mentioned, my mother is now seeing a geriatric psychiatrist to help with dementia. First thing he spotted was her use of tylenol PM which is essentially tylenol with Benadryl added. Apparently, it is associated with cognitive issues as we get older. This psychiatrist has actually had a number of patients come in with an Alzheimer's diagnosis and, a month or so after removing the Benadryl/tylenol PM, Alzheimer's was no longer their diagnosis. He further stated that a way to "flunk your boards" is to refer to the use of diphenhydramine with an older patient. Sorry I am ranting about this, but I have not stopped since I found out my mother was using something that I have never thought as risky, but was likely damaging her. There should be a warning on the label. I do hope your reaction to the injection feels better soon. That in itself is scary stuff!
@SModa61 First— congratulations on the the handsome new grandson! What a great photo, and beautiful boy! (Do you know that John Lennon song?)
Also, I do remember you mentioning the diphenhydramine issue before. Scary. I’m only taking it for 2-3 days specifically for the reaction. But thanks for the reminder!

@SModa61 I actually came to MFP hoping to see DGS news this morn. Congrats! And the ⚖️ for you &the kitty cats is hilarious! Saint of a grandmother/mom you are keeping those kittens! Keep it going!
My parents passed away within 13 months of each other with two years of decline before their passing… I was their primary caretaker (With other siblings close by of course). During that time, it was very, VERY hard, but as I look back, it was the most precious/rewarding/intimate time I’d ever spent with them. Times will get tough but you will appreciate these moments later (And the frustrations as to how you gutted through it) I promise.
@Antara_Kid Congrats on the 12- 3–45 and staying consistent! I will definitely jump on tomorrow, but the heat is just too much in the morning for me to have any energy in this afternoon… You are inspiring me!
@cchassee SIL's parents are taking care of #1. They have never had pets so the kitties are challenging for them, natural for us. They are amazing with DGS#1. As for my parents, the sad thing is there is becoming almost nothing positive for me anymore and I am afraid this is how they will be remembered....for me. Very sad. Hoping to get a handle on their disaster so that I can get back to the positive moments.6 -

@SheilaBoneham Yes, great song. On the Benadryl, your use is logical. Sorry for the rant on it. I am just so shocked that something I have always considered so benign actually has a risk to it.4 -

@Anabirgite The Benjamin Franklin effect is so counter intuitive to me. Hope all is well for you!
@SheilaBoneham FYI I will never look at Benadryl the same again, after this summer. As I have mentioned, my mother is now seeing a geriatric psychiatrist to help with dementia. First thing he spotted was her use of tylenol PM which is essentially tylenol with Benadryl added. Apparently, it is associated with cognitive issues as we get older. This psychiatrist has actually had a number of patients come in with an Alzheimer's diagnosis and, a month or so after removing the Benadryl/tylenol PM, Alzheimer's was no longer their diagnosis. He further stated that a way to "flunk your boards" is to refer to the use of diphenhydramine with an older patient. Sorry I am ranting about this, but I have not stopped since I found out my mother was using something that I have never thought as risky, but was likely damaging her. There should be a warning on the label. I do hope your reaction to the injection feels better soon. That in itself is scary stuff!
@SModa61 Wow! Thanks so much for sharing the Tyl PM info. I have been guilty of using it to help me sleep on occasion as I have notorious sleeping problems. Never again! The bottle is going in the trash! What are your thoughts on Melatonin? I don't really want to get into a prescription of sleeping pills for my occasional problems with sleep. I appreciate anyone's thoughts or info on this.0 -

8/22 130.0 I wanted tacos last night so I made the seasoned meat and warmed some tortillas. I also wanted guac but my avocado isn’t ready. 😢 Too bad I didn’t have lettuce to make wraps instead of eating tortillas!
@quiltingjaine I use these products for tacos and wraps etc. The larger one from La Tortilla Company has 14 total carbs and Zero net carbs. The smaller street taco size has 7 total carbs and Zero net carbs. I know you count whole carbs instead of net carbs but the fiber is still a good thing.

Got to visit at the hospital yesterday and meet #2 and see DD and SIL. Labor went well and relatively uncomplicated. What is wild and will be interesting to see is #1 and #2 were the same height and within .5 ounce at their births, and if you look at baby photos of the two, you cannot tell them apart. Curious if their similarities will remain as they get older.
PS Was not sure how to smile with invisalign in. :P
@SModa61 What a beautiful Grandson. Welcome to the world Little One! Congratulations to you and the proud parents!5 -
Round 233
MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 63 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.
ROUND 190 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
R232 EW= 198.0
R233 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 4 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.

08/22 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) I’m hitting the road very early this morning. Hopefully good news today at the cancer center.
08/23 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW)I will weigh in tomorrow. I just needed this one buffer day at home to stick to plan and mitigate the damage from all the travel and festivities. I received confusing news at the cancer appts yesterday. They have found calcifications in my left breast (the cancer free one). While some calcifications can be normal in women, it is a concern due to my cancer history. They are not recommending a biopsy just yet which is good news. But they do want another mammogram in 6 months instead of a year to follow any changes or growth. So now, 6 months of worry. I should have just had them both lopped off with the original cancer but I had 3 kids still in school at the time and my hubby was very sick with constant travel for dialysis. Honestly there was no time for me as it would have required so much travel and processes. And I likely still would have needed the chemo anyway. I’m thinking about seeing a breast surgeon now and just get it over with. This is draining. Anyway, today is National Prayer Day so maybe you guys can say one for me.

@deepwoodslady I’m so sorry about the confusing news. It sounds like you took the only manageable path at the time but living with the uncertainty now must be very frustrating. Sending you love while you process and decide how to proceed. I feel like your doctors would at least proceed with a biopsy now for peace of mind after what you’ve been through. 6 months is a long time with that hanging over your head!6

6'2 male 30 years old
MFP SW: 270 (November 2022)
CSW: 218.6
RGW: 214-215
Carb cycling currently, high carb days will be 8/22, 8/25 and 8/28 around high intensity exercise planned. Out of town 8/26-8/27 but should still be able to weigh and workout!
Date/weight/comment:
8/20: 218.6 - good day today, 600 cal deficit, 65 mins strength training followed by 20 cardio.
8/21: 218.4 - 270 cal deficit, 60 min total cardio today, indulged in Costco pizza and ice cream for lunch but still remained in my caloric budget for today, just the macros are screwey today!!
8/22: 219.0 - on track to end today with 800-1000 cal deficit even after a planned taco dinner, weighed in AM after breakfast so that explains the + from yesterday. Rode 50 minute HIIT cycling class today and surprisingly had my highest average watts in my history of cycle classes! I was feeling so so going into it but I think a Celsius drink helped, along with the instructor's motivation and music tracks really had me hit it hard. HR through the ride ranged from 90 to 179 with about 4 minutes total in Zone 5(above 171 for me is Z5) . Felt great afterward! I usually see a 5-6 pound water loss per hour while doing HIIT cycle so anticipate a lower scale weight tomorrow after replenishing.
8/23: 217.6 - as expected, scale movement downward this AM. Had a good 45 minute strength workout followed by a 50 minute indoor bike endurance ride (zone 3 with a few Z4 bursts in there). Should end day with a 850 cal deficit after a planned pork roast and veggies dinner. Feeling great today!

@deepwoodslady , so sorry to hear your news, the fact that the experts think that it is not necessary to take a biopsy, but check again in 6 month surely must be a positive? Going to think of you during this next 6 months & keep everything crossed 🤗🤗🤗.4

@deepwoodslady I will certainly be thinking of you! 5

@deepwoodslady If my sharing what I learned helps one person, I will be thrilled. I confiscated ALL the bottles my parents had (several) and I was even one of the buyers for them when they asked. They are all going in the trash or maybe better yet, bring it to the medication disposal receptical. As for melatonin, my MIL uses and she is 84, and more importantly my father spoke with his geriatric PCP about sleep aid yesterday, and was told to use melatonin. From that, I am assuming it is considered safe. That same PCP, when we told him about what the geriatric psychiatrist caught, he asked where did the tylenol PM come from, and in his words "literally causes memory loss with long term use" (reading it of my meeting notes). So he also was anti-tylenols PM but has recommended the melatonin for my father. My MIL finds it helpful.

8/20: 131.4 - Got my workout in after skipping it on Friday. Ate fairly well and slept well.
8/21: 131.4 - A little surprised I held this weight since we went to our neighbor’s 1st birthday party for their dog (a first for me, and I think mainly an excuse to throw a party for our neighbor). They had wine, samosas, pizza - all of which I partook in. I entered all the food in my diary and was surprised I was still under calories. Thank you workout for helping get some extra calories for the day!
8/22: 132.5 - Pretty sure it was going to happen since I ate leftovers from the party for lunch and dinner.
