Round 239
October 19 - October 28, 2023

Please join us starting on 10/19 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 239.

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

SW RND 239 Not weighing until end of October when I hope to fit perfectly into my goal pants that are the symbol of fully re-commiting myself to daily moderation and a calm healthy lifestyle. At least, that's the plan.

🎃🕷️🍁🦇10 day challenge 🦇🍁🕷️🎃

I’m a 5’2”, soon to be eligible for Medicare girl from the Pacific Northwest. My birthday is mid November and I would like to be in the 135-138 range as a gift to myself. Round 237 was a good start to moving the number on my scale in the right direction… now to keep the motivation in high gear! So far my strategy includes lots of water and less wine, increasing my daily steps, at least 3 times a week strength training and no munching after dinner. Let’s do this!

Hi, I'm Charissa

Thank you, again, @QuiltingJaine for hosting this challenge!

Previous Goals per Round

Round 236, resumed my mandatory treadmill M-F 30 minute minimum!!
Round 237, increased from 30 minutes to 40 minutes minimum!
Round 238, returning to IF and adding healthy habits from Apple Watch promptings. 1 out of 2, IF left me very hungry this round so eating something small when I get hungry, then eating a reasonable lunch (under 300 cal) and saving the rest for dinner. I guess still IF, just shorter windows (about 14 hours). Closing more difficult rings on my watch = success!
Round 239, Continue all of the above! Increase Water

Goals This Round per Day:
- Tracking to the best of my ability 🍎and staying under calorie budget (just say NO!)
- Water (Goal 64 oz/SS and 96oz M-F) : ✅
- Closing my rings (which I've made a bit more difficult): 🚶🏽

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.

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)

Back for another round.

Jen; 46; 5'4"

About Me:

This is my eleventh round and really appreciated having someplace to stay accountable.
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. I'm a mom of five and grandma of one 4yo that I babysit during the week when my daughter is working.

• In Maintenance since July 2019
• Smart BMI - optimal weight.
• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal range

Just because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessary.
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
October focus:

* maintain weight < 140 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
* Maintain Daily Solid Habits

I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.

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!

10/19 - 153.2 - Wow, I am up almost 2 lbs. due to 2 days of off plan eating Sunday and Monday. I know I didn't eat an extra 7,000 calories, but here I am. I just really have to focus and hope I start shedding some water weight.

Round 239
Oct 19 – Oct 28, 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 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!

Day/Weight/Comment

10/19 – 125.4 Homemade egg McMuffin, English muffin with PB, 2 large decafs, later donut and more decaf, later than normal dinner of linguini with clam and cream sauce, and lots of garlic bread. Carb, carb, carb and no food from the perimeter of the grocery store. Fully expected the number, but weight is still acceptable. Need to make sure I keep reporting in.

10/19 - 221.6 - Me checking in here on the day that a new round starts is a sign from god to re-start. From over 300 lbs, I got down to 193 about 18 months ago and now here we are. Between taking care of a toddler and stress of work, stress eating and not working out took it's toll. Time to take it back

SW RND 239 Not weighing until end of October when I hope to fit perfectly into my goal pants that are the symbol of fully re-commiting myself to daily moderation and a calm healthy lifestyle. At least, that's the plan.
10/19 Macros okay but not great, steps not met, light ST. Today will be better.

Previous Goals per Round

Round 236, resumed my mandatory treadmill M-F 30 minute minimum!!
Round 237, increased from 30 minutes to 40 minutes minimum!
Round 238, returning to IF and adding healthy habits from Apple Watch promptings. 1 out of 2, IF left me very hungry this round so eating something small when I get hungry, then eating a reasonable lunch (under 300 cal) and saving the rest for dinner. I guess still IF, just shorter windows (about 14 hours). Closing more difficult rings on my watch = success!
Round 239, Continue all of the above! Increase Water

Goals This Round per Day:
- Tracking to the best of my ability 🍎and staying under calorie budget (just say NO!)
- Water (Goal 64 oz/SS and 96oz M-F) : ✅
- Closing my rings (which I've made a bit more difficult): 🚶🏽

10/19 215.8 (+1.2/+1.2) ~ So yesterday's weight was kind of a fluke....but it made me end the round on a low point, which sets the bar for this round so I guess it's all good (motivation, maybe). Yesterday was a salty day so I'm thinking water retention. Lots of water today!

About me:

I could not lose weight until I shifted my mindset from "trying to lose weight" by calorie counting to "trying to decrease chronic inflammation" by eating the right foods + calorie counting.

I can maintain my good health by continuing these healthy habits:
1) noticing[/b][/b] how my clothes are fitting and getting back to the scale and consciously recalibrating my daily diet when necessary.
2) eating primarily WFPB (Whole Foods, Plant-Based) daily to keep my daily fiber intake around 40 grams. Keep noticing where I can easily make a meal only plant-based and try to have at least one vegan meal per day and at least one fully vegan day per week (this keeps me from getting lazy with vegetables and recipes).
3) limit ultra-processed foods to almost never avoid added sugar unless it's truly a special occasion and a truly delicious dessert. Road trips are a great time for splurging on grocery store precut fruits and premade fresh spring rolls.
4) use the muscles I have so I don't lose them. Muscle maintenance is metabolism maintenance.
5) alcohol is not a necessary part of any diet. Be mindful.

Short term goals:
1)maintain my current physical fitness level and healthy diet
2)lose a little bit of extra fat

Plan to accomplish goals:
1)do something fun that challenges my fitness level at least once a week
2)be serious about no added sugar. I am addicted. I cannot control myself with "just a little bit."
3)weigh-in and track the trend weight.
4)set MFP diary settings to maintain weight at 1500 calories per day with macro goals set to 50% carbs, 20% protein, 30% fat. Try to keep weekly average of net calories within the 1500-2000 calories range dependent on exercise. As long as I meet my protein and fiber goals the carbs and fat seem to fall into place and as long as my weekly net calories are around 1800-2000 I seem to maintain weight even without extra exercise so just being more conscious of not going above 2000 should be enough. Thank you, strength training!

Round Goal: get the trend weight into 131.x and at least one of the daily weights into the 120s.

10/19Trend weight: 132.1 I kept to my plan. Really big breakfast, medium lunch, and small dinner is the routine I'm practicing right now.

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.

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

Day, Weight, Comment
10/19 - 152.9 - Not bad. I did have extra calories and enjoyed a (weighed) bowl of tiramisu gelato after dinner. I also took my lactose pills which is why I'm not up more than the 0.1lb. Today was a chilly walk with dogs, a lot of work getting done, and then Thirsty Thursday later with dinner out. I have leftover peppersteak to eat on for lunch and hopefully that will hold me over until dinner. Not much else to post other than it's a busy "Friday" (off tomorrow for 9/80) with a lot of deadlines tomorrow (AKA today).

10/18 …..185.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

10/19 -185.6- (Trend weight 186.2) I was hoping to see a little more of a drop but I have just went through some higher calorie and carb days on the zig-zag so luckily it’s not done too much damage. I hope to choose a lower calorie day today but we will see how the nighttime munchies get me. Sometimes I have to switch to a medium or higher day at night, last minute, because of an extra snack. However, inevitably I get to those lower calorie ones somewhere by the end of the week and must face the fiddler, bite the bullet, so to speak, and get through the lower days too. I do like the flexibility of this plan so far. Tonight I am planning some skinny popcorn for a snack so I hope that feeds the night monsters. I have to go to bed early tonight because of an early morning tomorrow to get DGS ready for school and get him to the bus stop so that should help. Just a friendly reminder: Remember, that Halloween candy is for the children! Let’s do well. Good luck everyone this round. I am enjoying all your posts.

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

SW RND 239: 129.4#
Goals: Strength training 5x/week; follow nutrition plan; 64 oz water daily; maintain wt 128#; minimal to zero alcohol

10/19 127.9# I almost fell off the scale this morning. 128# has been my MFP goal weight to reach before my 70th BD next month since the beginning of the year. I didn’t expect this as I was out of town and not using my home scale. Frankly now that I hit that number I don’t really care. I just want to be a healthy and strong bada$$ 70 year old woman to inspire my kids.

🎃🕷️🍁🦇10 day challenge 🦇🍁🕷️🎃

I’m a 5’2”, soon to be eligible for Medicare girl from the Pacific Northwest. My birthday is mid November and I would like to be in the 135-138 range as a gift to myself. Round 237 was a good start to moving the number on my scale in the right direction… now to keep the motivation in high gear! So far my strategy includes lots of water and less wine, increasing my daily steps, at least 3 times a week strength training and no munching after dinner. Let’s do this!

SW RND 237 148.2
