Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 253

quiltingjaine

Round 253
March 7 - 16, 2024

Please join us starting on 3/7 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 253.

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

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE

Many thanks @quiltingjaine .

I am trying to set a proper goal for drinking water. I know I don't drink enough. I have heard the adage about 8 glasses per day (64 oz?) . Anyone want to chime in on what you use for your goal and what benefits you actually experience?

mightybunky

First try on this. F, 48, have come and gone from MFP a few times and now bigger than I've ever been - currently UK size 14/16 and hoping to get back into my size 12 shorts for summer. Ultimate goal is 147lb, as of today I am 166.1. Thank you @quiltingjaine for setting this up, looking forward to seeing how we all do these 10 days!

Spent last round on vacation and only gained half a pound, so that's a win! Now it's time to get serious and lose some weight before my son's wedding at the end of April.

I wasn’t a water drinker until I did WW back in the day. They said 8 - 8 oz glasses. Now I drink 3 or 4 - 30 oz glasses if I’m home. More in the summer but remember, I live in the desert. Start with 8 glasses and if you’re thirsty add another.

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.

• This is what I wrote out at the beginning of Round 250: [/b]
  ~ My plan for round 250 is to eliminate drinking alcohol on a nightly basis. [color] Still killing this one! [/color]
  ~ Try to get more into old school Keto, and for one meal a day I’ll allow myself to have a Keto processed food item. ie. Keto hot dog buns, keto slimfast snacks, I’ll pick one meal to eat these items.
  I don’t really realize how much I’ve come to rely on these items. <<< Plan on watching old keto YouTuber videos for mental refreshments! Requesting everyone’s recommendations for this-please? THANK YOU! 😊 >>>

Hi there
I was advised to drink half your weight in ounces. So I try to drink 88 ounces because I weigh 176lbs. Hope this helps! 🙌🏼

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 253 (my 183rd). Thank you @quiltingjaine for keeping this going, so grateful.
Goals for this round; to lose! Scale still being erratic, obviously reflects rate of consistency (or not!) with walking mileage as well as food. Must concentrate on consistency, really want to get back. And to break the “always looking for something to put in my mouth” syndrome!
Good luck everyone for a successful round.

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 target of 130 = 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.

@quiltingjaine thank you again for giving us this place to work on our goals together- it's been a huge help to me to share with you all.

Welcome to those who are here for the first time- I only joined in December and it's made a big difference having somewhere I feel safe learning to be accountable- really to myself. It's a great group.

@SheilaBoneham I'm so happy you continue on! Can't wait to see all the garden pics as spring progresses. Please share!
@CamandJarvis this is my first full round back, too. Good to see you again!
@roscoe1998 I know how busy you will be this spring! My daughter got married in early May last year. I hope her day is spectacular. It's such a special time for you in the coming weeks. Enjoy!
@_JeffreyD_ Water is one of the things I struggle with and always have. If I can get 64 oz in, I'm happy. There are days with I don't get close, but I'm trying to get back to the days when I drank 80 oz. It's a job for me to drink that much water, but I do think it helps.

I'm back after a very long break, but I'm excited to be here again because I KNOW the accountability helps me so much! I have a River Cruise coming up in early June, so that serves as some extra motivation.

3/7 187.8 Poured rain all day yesterday, so workouts happened in the house--yoga and indoor walking routines. Discovered Lavash Bread homemade crackers last night because Ingles had their rarely-made Mango Salsa, and I didn't want to eat tortilla chips. Have you tried making the Lavash Bread crackers, folks? (Cut up the Lavash bread onto cookie sheet, spray with Pam, add seasoning like Everything Bagel or whatever you like, 325 degree oven for about 5-7 minutes depending on your preference for brownness. Watch them though, they burn easily.) So good and not very hard to work into the daily plan.

NSV: Played bridge last night with my brother, sister and DH… (Have been playing with them weekly for several years.) My brother says to me, “My God, you’ve lost weight”. He was sincerely shocked… seemed worried, like I was sickly or something… I said, Bob, You haven’t noticed till now? He said, “No, I just noticed!” Mind you, I see him several times a month!!! 🤪😂

About Me, WOE & Health Journey
****************************

F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean Ketovore 🥩. Track macros, kcals, all exercise and NSVs. HW 172lbs in 2010.

WOE since 7/2023: Whole Foods. No processed foods Emphasis is animal-based proteins. EGGS, Beef, pork, chicken, seafood, venison and grass-fed whey protein powder. I count macros & kcals - always will. (Since portion control is my issue). Keto is high-fat but I’m now leaning lower fat with leaner proteins. My mother was diagnosed with celiac’s disease in her 50’s. Following her lead, I eliminated wheat, oat, barley, and rye several years ago…. Dairy? Hard cheese, HWC and butter -an occasional Greek yogurt. Vegetables destroy my digestive system… Of course, I love vegetables, but when I splurge, I pay for it for a few days… I do enjoy berries, lemon, lime. Avocados are my weakness. Enjoy a piece of dark chocolate on occasion. Generally, I eat btw noon and 6 pm. (IF18/6). Alcohol? Used to be a social drinker and would enjoy a good martini/scotch or Paloma at home while cooking dinner. NO MORE. Root of many evils. Primarily, the destruction of will power and the enemy of optimal choices. I’d rather venture toward my best-self. This is me. I feel terrific.

History:

I have ALWAYS been ON a “diet” since high school. I have never been comfortable with my body - NEVER - no matter my weight.

Pre- college: 125-130lbs
College- up to 160lbs one year… graduated @130lbs.
1990 (Age 32) - Avg.135/140 lbs (my son was born 1988)
2000 (Age 42) -Avg 145 -160
2010 (Age 52) - HW 172 lbs in 2010. 130lbs by end of 2014.
2020 (Age 62) 130-135lbs
7/2023 (Age 64) 145lbs
1/2024 (Age 65) 130lbs

UGW = 129-130lbs
⬆️SMM: 100lbs +
BF% : 23%

Aug 14, 2014 @ 157lbs (down 15 from heaviest of 172lbs in 2010), I decided to take serious control of my health. I lost 30lbs by 11/15/2014. Weight @ 128-132lbs through the end of 2020. Six years!

Another 🎢 Roller Coaster Begins….

2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140 lbs. Always self-conscious.

8/1/ 2022 crept up to 142lbs.
Dropped to 128lbs again by 10/30 - held 130lbs till 2/1/23.

2023 Back ⬆️ 145lbs by July 15! 15lbs BOOM! Enjoyed eating & margaritas way too much. Nutrition has always been somewhat healthy BUT portion control is/was THE issue. Started tracking again 7/15/23. Joined “Just give me 10 days” R231 in beginning of 8/2023. Here we are @ 130ish determined to…. STOP the 🎢 & be in the
📣#bestshapeofmylife 📣

The yo-yo is exhausting & unhealthy. Takes up way too much brain space.

I learned MY choices created an emotional 🎢 roller coaster with yo-yo weight and fitness. My forever goal is to be healthy & fit & maintain approx. 130lbs & IN SHAPE.

As I age it becomes much, MUCH more difficult to lose weight. I could lose 15lbs easy in 8 weeks up to 2022 ish … This is not true anymore.

While active with 🚶‍♀️& 🎾 it’s clear a ST 🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼routine was absent. Strength & balance are 💯most important now. Time to incorporate ST 🏋️‍♀️ 🙆‍♀️🤸🏼as my TRUE focus.

Cumulative Round Results
7/15/23 SW 145lbs
R231 - R 247, lost 15lbs to 130.
Avg loss 1lbs per Round. Painfully SLOW.

Now “Fit & Healthy” & striving to improve my body composition. Let’s go!
