🍁🏈10 more days of my life🏈🍁

My goal for this go around is to find the number on the scale to be smaller than today’s number. Hoping for the 137’s. I have several birthday events this go around, including my own, so this make take some creativity! Will continue to keep my steps 👣 above 10,000, guzzle the 💧water, log my ✏️ food, and hit the gym at least 3 times a week. No munching 🚫 after 8:00 pm and limit my alcohol 🍷 intake. Come on people! Let’s do this!!!

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 241 (my 171st). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, as always, so grateful.
Goals for this round to get into 138s solidly, hopefully lose a pound and keep heart rate under 50 beats a minute, then longer term goal to get back to 135 in time for Christmas (less than 7 weeks!).

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.

11/07 139.2 – wouldn’t you just know that the last day the scale goes up!! Oh well it is what it is, had a good day yesterday; 13.6 miles walked yesterday, no exercise calories eaten back. Maybe I should include my trend weight (139.6) and see how that progresses. I feel that I am now solidly below 140, my resting heart rate has finally dropped to below 150 to 149 beats per minute & I do feel more in control (although when I’ve said this in the past then invariably that day I’ve started to self-sabotage, this time I intend to stand firm!!) I do feel I have met my goals for this round, roll on the new one!

11/8 138.6 – and back down! No structured walking yesterday as it was raining in the morning so I was unable to walk to my seasonal part-time job (exam. Invigilator at local school) and later met sisters for lunch, but made sensible choices, 200 calories over.

Hey yall!

RSW- 166.6
RGW-165.0

11/8- 166.6 Two of my five kiddos have hand foot and mouth so it's been rough the last few days. Too much sodium and I've been finding myself snacking. Time to get back to business!!!

I'm 30F and committed to wondering less about the scale and wondering instead about how great it's going to be when my daily healthy practices are so normal that it would be weird not to do them, even on vacations or holidays. It has been nice so far.

My original goal pants are within reach and I hope to be able to post a picture of a before and after with them this round or next.

My strategy has been: All home cooked foods and no added fats or sugar or alcohol. Potatoes and legumes make up most of my caloric base. More vegetables and less meat. Logging 1500-1800 calories a day with Saturday and/or Sunday as refeed day(s) where I have maximum 2500 calories if I'm feeling like I need it. ST as much as I can and walking as much as I can.

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

11/08 - 190.2
Ok, new round, and I’m really aiming to clean up my act. I know I’ve said that round after round and just haven’t gotten it together. I’m up 12 pounds from the beginning of the year when I wanted to go 20 pounds the other way. I am trying not to beat myself up over it, but I have to figure out why I’ve been self-sabotaging, not just in terms of weight but other things as well. I’ve never been like this. But I’m going to try really hard this round to get back to eating responsibly and writing every day. Really. Really really. (Anyone have any reading recommendations on self-sabotage?)

This is my first time doing this challenge! My weight has been moving in the wrong direction lately (thanks in part to buying way too much Halloween candy), so I need something to push me a little harder and hopefully see my weight come back down.

Perhaps I misspoke. We are headed to East Grinstead to stay at a Landmark trust house. We stayed at Purton Green on our last visit. I adored it.

Day, Weight, Comment
11/08 - 155.5 - I had a self-sabotage night. BF made homemade guac and he brought out chips so I splurged on chips & guac while making dinner. Then he asked if I'd like to help him finish off the last of the ice cream and I said yes without thinking. I took m lactose pills but I was 750 (estimated) calories over goal for the day and lactose pills don't help with water retention from salt. Plus, it was too dark to take the dogs for a walk after dinner so I didn't get my step goal, either. Better today - no Wet Wednesday as there's a conflict so we're having chicken quarters for dinner with whatever sides we have at home (frozen or canned veggies included. Better than no veg!). Leftover chicken stir fry for lunch and breakfast was a fruit&protein smoothie with chia, flax, and greek yogurt. I only managed half of it. I ran 20 minutes this morning as well, since the 5k is in 10 days and I took a week and a half off of running between travel and weather! That 20 minutes was terribly challenging so I'm hoping that my efforts this week into early next will be enough to get me through to completing the 5k without stopping (even if I don't PR or even get close to June's PR. Circumstances have changed a lot)

Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 241
Hi I am new here, (to the JGMTD rounds, not MFP). CJ here. I need this group... thank you for having me.

Who I am:

As many of us, I was never heavy in my youth. Age and lifestyle have caught up with me. I grew up from age of 14 in restaurants, hotels and bars. My weight has fluctuated for many years.
Currently,
I am not... NOT following anyone's diet. I am using my best sense. I have watched dozens of nutrition YouTube, heard many peoples different ideas, and using the things out of those that I think makes sense, FOR ME. Roughly this translates to:

1. Always eat what I enjoy. Don't go hungry.
2. Almost no processed foods
3. Dairy rarely, when I do, only full fat.
4. Wheat rarely
5. Heavy protein, including fish
6. Vegetables, mostly dark green but all vegetable are fine.
7. Fruit, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries for the most part. Other fruit more measured.
8. Avocados, plenty
9. Olive Oil plenty
10. Alcohol, sensible, when with friends, not as nightly event.
11. The Golden Rule is there are no rules. Enjoy life! (but be sensible.)

I need accountability. Thank you to giving me that.

I need to exercise. I need to exercise. I need to exercise.
So up until two weeks ago, on stressful days, I would drive thru Del Taco or go to the DQ (sigh).
I leave for a mini vacation this weekend, it is a birthday, ugh. Friends, drinkers and eaters.

Goals for Day 10:
- RGW - 229.9
- Gym 6 times
- Close ALL Rings for 10 Days
- No Fast Food
- Enjoy birthday weekend in San Diego, but don't gorge, make sensible choices. Rebound weight within 3 days after return.

Long Term Goal Weight- 199.9 (Dec 31, 2023)
HW- 1/21/2021 -260 (High Weight)
6/25/2023 -251.5 (Recent) Use this as a marker from when I started focusing on food more. I didn't exercise, nor was I following my scale, I just looked at these numbers today.

SW 11/8 - 236.2
Thank you, We got this

11/08 182.0 Quite delighted to see that the gains from the vacation are gone. I ate well yesterday. We don't really have any unusual days like birthdays, holidays, trips, etc. so I'm hoping this will be a productive 10 days.
