Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 235

GettingFitOver50

@potasha I made a switch to PBFIT peanut butter powder. Not exactly the same as true pb but satisfies those times when I want to have PB for apples or bananas or even on a thin piece of toast.

@KarlysFreedom Congrats!!

@quiltingjaine Thank you so much for this challenge!! What a great group with awesome support 💕

My weight seems to have stalled the last few days. Hopefully, it will start moving again soon in the right direction.

9/13: 301 (-3.4 lbs)
Finally, over the plateau and I've passed my goal for this round. (by one lb)Just two more pounds and I'll be in the 200's. It would be so nice to finally be out of the 300's and I should be able to accomplish this by the end of this round. Hopefully, 😸

9/14: 301 Seems to be every time I lose weight, there will be a day or two that I stay at that weight. But, at least it's not a gain, which I'm happy about. I guess this is what happens when you weigh daily at least for me. I did really good on my eating yesterday, and stayed will below my daily calorie amount.

9/15: 299 (-2 lbs) Yesssss! Finally down in the 200's. 😸😂
I don't buy unhealthy food or snacks to keep in my home. Because, I'd mindlessly snack if upset about something. Most food I buy (except dairy) has to be cooked, before it can be eaten. I do this to keep from mindlessly snacking, which is what I've done in the past, when I'm either upset or overly tired and don't feel like cooking. However, it's not to say I don't snack, I allow myself one or two snacks (treats) once in awhile, in individual packages, as long as it doesn't cause me to go over daily calorie intake.

9/16: 299 Won't be weighing in tomorrow. Hopefully, last day of this round will show a lose.

GettingFitOver50

Hello, I am 54, 5'9" and am making a switch from Weight Watchers to MFP. This is my 2nd round. During the first round my goal was the habit of tracking and being more mindful of what I was eating. This round I'm adding exercise. 🤞and finishing my postings 🥴

SW Round 234: 232.4
GW Round 234: 228.4
SW Round 235: 228.6
GW Round 235: 224.6
Round goals: track, move

Goodbye 230's!! 👋

9/9 - 228.6 (woj 2.3 miles)
Ending round 234 almost at goal with tracking only. Getting ready to head out for a walk, yard work and painting today. Family dinner tomorrow all planned out with as many healthy recipes as possible 🫶

9/10 - 226.6 ⬇️ (did not meet activity goa)
Wow! I anticipated a little loss but this was a pleasant surprise 😁 Wogged (walk/jog) 2.3 miles last evening with my 16 yo DS who is a cross country runner. No pressure 😂
Family dinner is today and I have planned a healthy meal that's easy to track, except dessert 🫣 My plan is to do dishes while they have dessert and to send all dessert left over items away with the fam 🫶
It's going to be a challenge to get activity in with baking and a 2 hour orientation for a scholars program for the DS, but we will keep our fingers crossed!


9/11 - 227.5 ⬆️(jogged 1.5 miles)
Scale went up, as expected after family dinner. Healthy meals but the dishes plan didn't work and I indulged in dessert along with 2 unplanned beverages. I did get my one hour worth of activity in the yard as planned so that was good. Planning a short run for the day and back to work after 10 days off for bereavement and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I am prepared to either battle the want to stress eat or make sure I do eat. I have a tendency to swing to one extreme or another 🥴

9/12 - 227 ⬇️(didn't meet activity goal)
Scale is heading in the right direction! If I can keep this pace I will meet and maybe pass my goal 🫣 I think I have found a decent breakfast that helps kick later day sugar gravings to the curb. I'm sure it is not the best choice available and not clean eating, but a Blueberry Cliff Bar has hit the spot and kept sugar cravings at bay so far this round. Yesterday ended well below calorie goal without feeling deprived so that's a win 🏆 And I was able to shave 30 seconds of my running pace 🥇We have decided to run the Thanksgiving morning 10k this year. Yes we are that kind of family 🤣 So, I have a goal to help me meet my other goal! Woohoo! Raining today and we are at home working now due to Covid in our office so I will need to get some creative movement going. Wish me luck!

9/13 226.7⬇️ (fast walk 2.5 miles)

9/14 227.6⬆️
Well well. Two things. 1) can't remember why I didn't log/post yesterday other than life. 2) What the heck with the scale???? Something feels very unfair lol! Last night I am dragging out my husband to walk to try to find a new route to bump my 2.5 miles to a 3 miler while staying somewhat in our neighborhood. We live inner city so I personally prefer to stay close. We were pumping it out! 🏃‍♀️💨 At one point he said if you go any faster we will be running 😆 I remember thinking man the scale is going to look good tomorrow 😁 I can't wait to see that 225!! And then this garbage?!? What the heck?? The injustice of it all!! So....rant over....I'm going to start to post my activity to see if there is some connection. The only other thing I see is through my Garmin, the amount of calories earned and given versus consumed. I may want to see if the amount of the deficit plays a part as well. In my mind a deficit is a deficit and you shouldn't be gaining for goodness sake. But at 54 who knows what is happening 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ Sorry for the long rant! If you've stayed this long and there are any theories as to what I may want to try to do or things I should look for, send em my way!! 🤗

9/15 229.1 ⬆️ 🤷‍♀️ Clueless. I can't even say I can attribute this to a good binge or night out.

9/16 228.2 ⬇️
Yesterday, after weighing in, I just gave in. I quit worrying about the scale because I'm doing everything I can to make positive changes right now. I kicked the scale around a little bit, but that is another story lol and I focused on how I felt. I felt strong, I'm standing taller, I'm able to run up all the steps without being winded, I have energy, I get full faster and don't binge, I get excited about wogging and miss it when I don't. So all being said, I must be moving in the right direction even if the scale wasn't coming along. Then this morning, there it was, a little glimmer of progress. I probably won't meet my round goal this time but that's ok. I'm moving in the right direction 🤗

9/09 - 186.2
Happy Saturday!

9/10 - 186
Booker is leaving today, going back to his breeder. I’m very sad, but also relieved. I hadn’t realized until now how stressed I’ve been worrying that he’d hurt DH, who’s 88 but thinks he’s still much younger. All in play, of course, no aggression, but that doesn’t make getting knocked down any nicer. Anyway, I haven’t worried too much about what I’m eating the past couple of days but will start the new week on a new footing. I plan to take a very long nap after they leave, probably after ugly crying. Enjoy your Sunday, everyone.

9/11 - 186.2
I didn’t overindulge too much yesterday despite being sad. It will be odd to take my walks dogless, but off I go.

9/12 - 186.4
Yesterday I felt a UTI coming on, so I got some unsweetened cranberry juice and have been pushing that and water. But I know I’m retaining water. Every time I have a sudden relief from stress, I get sick within a couple of days. So weird. “Ok, now you have time to get sick.” Umm, no I don’t! Anyway, feeling better today, but still pushing the juice and water.

9/13 - 186.6
Yesterday was good, with nice low calories and no late-night snacking. I still feel a bit waterlogged, but hopefully that will resolve soon. I’m going to visit a friend I haven’t seen in about 18 months this afternoon, no I’ll skip lunch because she will no doubt have goodies. I’ll try to restrain myself. Fortunately I’m making my bread-free salmon patties for dinner with steamed broccoli, so that will me high protein, low calories. I feel much more in control of myself, no doubt because I’m not worried about the pup hurting DH in his boisterousness. I’m also sleeping better and waking up earlier.

9/14 - 186.6
I still feel like I’m retaining water and can’t imagine why. Weird. Anyway, we have another gorgeous fall day here, so I’m off for a walk on the river greenway. I haven’t been there in a while.

9/15 - 186.6
Caved in yesterday to my craving for chili cheese Fritos, but I didn’t overdo it. My calories were higher than desired, but not crazy high, so it’s fine. DH and I are off in a few to watch my friends run their dogs in our club’s agility trial.

9/16 - 186.6
Stuckity stuck stuck. Yesterday at the agility trial I saw a friend who used to be really heavy—she’s now beautifully slim. She’s been going to the weight management program at one of the local hospitals, so I looked it up last night. Looks interesting. One of the shockers, though, was the BMR calculator on the website. It calculated my BMR as 1,003 per day, which is much lower than others I’ve used—so I tried 5 others and they all calculated my BMR between 1300-1700. And yes, I know we need to eat more than BMR unless we’re in a coma, but still…. On the one hand that might explain why I can’t seem to lose even when I stay within my target calories. On the other, eek, that means I really have to cut back more. Anyway, I’m going to look into the program. This group is great, but maybe I need some in-person support.

SW 134.0
GW 129.9

Goals:
IF 12-8 pm; try for 64 oz of water before 5 pm and make it by 8pm; Track steps and aim to increase activity level.

9/9 133.2 IF 12-8 pm. 64 oz of water is hard to do by 5 but I did it by 8pm. One hour of cycling felt good. I didn't have any sweets or added sugar. One glass of wine.
9/10 133.0 IF 12-8pm. One hour of gentle cycling in the morning. Afternoon hike. Water and activity goals met. Well balanced whole foods meals. TOM is coming so I'm hoping for a significant drop with it.
9/11 DNW this morning. Morning hike and strong show of will power all day until bed time when I got serious sugar cravings. Two muffins and then sleep. TOM woke me up today so I need to FORCE myself to be physically active today.
9/12 132.2 - made surprisingly healthy choices yesterday and went for an afternoon hike to help with cramps.
9/13 - 131.0 woohoo! I did not expect that. I hope it sticks tomorrow. No outside activity yesterday but I did 40 minutes of strength training at home and healthy food choices. Water and routine with food make a big difference.
9/14 - 129.4 my mind is blown! Last night I was snacky but healthy choices and kept calories under 2000... at 1999, lol. That feels very lucky having logged everything after the snack attack ended. Very little movement. My body was tired. I'll treat yesterday as a rest day and get back to it this evening with a hike.
9/15 - 129.0 not too much snacking but I'm still working on getting rid of it. No hike but good strength training. Wish there was a low calorie peanut butter. I've been freezing banana slices with peanut butter as a dessert. I love everything about it except having to control myself because they're so good and I have to remember how calorie dense pb is.
9/16 - 129.0 had an oddly easy day yesterday sticking to my meal prepped meals and snacks and even though I thought my strength training was light, my quads are tender! Funny how the slight change to side lunges instead of regular static lunges woke up those muscles in a very different way. Good reminder of why changing up the exercise is important. Happy Saturday, everyone!

9/16-DNW-Went to my dads and got there early evening. We sat at his kitchen table and had drinks. Finally we decided to eat and I knew he had BBQ meat leftover and I brought my mashed cauliflower (I wanted him to try it and he really liked it). We also had tomatoes that our friend grew, so we sliced those up. It was a good, healthy meal. Then I gave him cut up figs with cream on them and he really liked that. I told him that is what his aunt used to make for me when I would visit her. It was fun to just hang out with him. Tonight we are having people over and three of us are making three different kinds of halibut cakes and my dad is making his halibut dip. These are some of the people we went fishing with. It should be fun,

Wowzaaaaaa Donna!!!! Congratulations @deepwoodslady !!!!

@potasha I buy natural peanut butter- the oil separates. I used to pour it into another container but now I just scoop out the little peanut butter I want and let the oil drop off that back into the jar. It is a bit drier since the oil is gone but unless you are intending to spread it works nicely as a snack. If you want to spread it it needs to be mashed around a bit first.

potasha

@quiltingjaine that's an incredible idea and so simple. I mostly use it for freezing so I think that'll work better with bananas than powdered.

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

SW Round 235 128.0
9/9 128.0 Awake several times during the night, up at 4:30. Enjoyed going to the movie after lunch (avoided popcorn) and we thoroughly enjoyed the movie - “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3”
9/10 128.0 Great Greek today
9/11 128.5 Had 1/2 pita and a big glass of wine in the evening
9/12 129.5 I am adding waaaaay too much cream to too many cups of coffee!
9/13 130.0 I finished the bottle of wine.
**After drinking the pot of coffee and a TMI I decided to weigh the cat which, of course, involved re-weighing myself. Oskar who has been doing increasingly LOWER calories has gained 0.5# and I am a pound lighter than 5 hours ago. 🤷‍♀️
9/14 128.5 I don’t know why my phone has been cutting off the last word when I copy and paste. Irritating!
9/15 128.0 Tonight we’re going to a comedy show at one of the casinos.
9/16 129.5 No TMI Chinese for OMAD yesterday, ate about 1/2c of steamed rice and half of my Kung Pao chicken (supposed to be a good choice) but probably not enough water.

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 235 (my 165th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, so grateful.
Goal this round is to get under and stay under 140. Holiday is now in 2 days! Most of holiday clothes do feel more comfortable as although not lost what I wanted, I have been doing toning exercises. Want to more or less maintain whilst away & I won’t have scales so although I’m on holiday try to stick with 1 treat and 1 adult beverage a day.

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.

Round 235



MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 63 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.
ROUND 192 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
R234 EW= 192.0
R235 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.

09/14 -191.0- (Trend weight 192.9)

09/15 -189.8- (Trend weight 192.6) I FREAKED OUT when I saw the scale, I won’t lie. But I knew yesterday was an on target day but nothing extra special. The 180’s my friend by the skin of my teeth. 180’s!!!! Of course, you all know that I don’t consider myself in a new decade unless I hit the 7 (187 point anything) due to normal fluctuations that can land me up to two point anything pounds higher (like no TMI or sodium fluid retention). So I will bide my time, keep going and NOT practice my usual self-sabotage when I’ve seen progress. Happy Dancing here!

09/16 -190.6- (Trend weight 192.4) Thanks so much for all the nice comments yesterday as I dipped into the 180’s finally. I am sure I will be in and out of them with fluctuations until I hit 187.X, but I’m on my way. Yesterday was a banner day. It was the lowest calorie day of my zig-zag week. I also switched up my exercise a bit and took a nice but challenging walk. Today is day 3 of no TMI so I’ve pulled out the Metamucil this morning. That probably explains the uptick. I feel like I’m really on the ball right now so I’m running with it. My highest calorie day in the upcoming week will be Tuesday when I travel for my dental cleaning. I will try to keep it within the zig-zag specifications as my experiment with this continues.
