Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 258

Ash 37yrs/F
H - 5'6
HW - 156
LW - 90
LR EW (256) - 120.2
Rnd SW - 119.6
Rnd GW - 117 or less

4/26 - 121

4/27 - 124.4 - I want to cry! I'm so embarrassed to post this!! Very humbling. I ate more the last few days than in a long time. Probably not even over 1500 but I know my metabolism is really slow.. plus not drinking as much water. Ugh

4/28 - 124.2 - really hard seeing numbers I haven't seen in a month. I don't know if it's hormones or what... Sigh.

4/29 - 123 - Surprised because I went to cracker barrel and figured I might as well get what I want because this week is a bust.. but that was about all I had so? Also I got transferred to a pharmacy that is walking distance from my house so that will give me approx. 30 min walking on days that I work. So although the numbers are higher I am still hoping to reach my GW this round.

4/30 - 124 - got my hormone shot I get every 3 months yesterday... And had a piece of chocolate cake. Cutting out candy and diet sodas caused me to lose 5lbs really fast in March. The past few days I've had more sugar (candy and sweet foods) and I can tell I'm craving it more. Definitely need to chill out on the sugar and then I'll probably see a loss. Some people notice weight gain with the shot but I never really have. I don't think the gain has to do with that. Just need to increase water and cut out excess sugar again.

It’s interesting because I can see and feel the difference from the last 75 days. I’m happy with my progress but I am having some feelings of “not enough” or more like “how did I let my weight get so high that it’s going to take months and months to get back to the number I want”?
Just a negative mental loop I need to break.

I get this. It never feels like enough no matter what weight I am at 🫠 very hard to celebrate wins and if I gain it's hard not to let it ruin my day even though I know weight cycles and that it's more important how my clothes fit/what the measuring tape says. Maybe try taking measurements (bust, waist, hips, butt, thigh) and check them again in a few weeks or a month. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I usually only check once Month. Since March I've lost 2 inches in all areas but have lost less than 5-8lbs depending on the day.

/Nope, walked, parched myself/ Tip toeing back into the group after a week of AWOL. I have not posted since 4/22. Our little mini trip turned into an excuse to pay zero attention to my goals for last round, and to neglect the beginning of this round. No scale available, but that should never matter. I like the non-scale-victories better anyway.

Hopping off the sugar train starting today.

4/30: 223.0
/logged; exercised; 66 oz water/
Ugh. But the sugar train left the station without me yesterday and other “metrics” were in proper order.

MFP tells me that if every day were like yesterday I would weigh 207.4 lbs in five weeks. I know every day is not alike; in fact it would be impossible. For example, today I have pizza for lunch with friends, so it may take me longer than five weeks to reach 207.4. 😊

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

judefit1 · April 2024

@itladyee and @quiltingjaine : Thank you for the good wishes! Yes, I tested at home and it was positive; I had a low grade fever, extreme runny nose, mild cough and lots of sneezing. The symptoms are almost completely gone already, so it was mild for me- another day of rest and I should be good as new.

I'm sleeping in our Guest Rm so that my DP doesn't get more exposed- so far he hasn't gotten it, nor did my daughter and her family. Just my 82 YO and post-op sister, who could least afford it. I hope she recovers quickly and can get back to rehabbing her knee, she was doing so wel l:-( Please say prayers for her!

4/26 131.9 lbs
TBH surprised @⚖️. Thought I’d be real 130s. Yes, only a pound but it’s about knowing myself. At this juncture, I should be able to nail it with certainty. I didn’t sleep well last night (Woke up at 4 AM this morning) which is probably the reason.

I’ve been hitting 10k+ steps at least 6x per week. Did not yesterday… Worked most of the day and played tennis last night. I have been doing really well with protein… Tonight - girls night out, so planning it out. Gotta figure out this sleep thing… It’s holding me back from my best self…
Today: 🙆‍♀️🏋️‍♀️📿🎾.

NSV: Feeling comfortable & positive. Practicing staying in the moment.

4/27. DNW. Busy, busy, busy with life yesterday. Good protein. 🙆‍♀️🎾🚶‍♀️10k. BUT, didn’t stop to take care of me for this round. 🚫✅. Today, will journal and reset. Just give me NINE days! 😎

Up at 3am. Simply not going to be healthy with these sleep patterns.

4/28 133.0 Yep. i’m still discombobulated. Not returning to routine is not helpful. Still not sleeping. Up at 4am. Clothes are looser than ever but so darn puffy. It’s not what I’m eating…. My cortisol must be high, stress, dehydration, retaining fluids. I’ll check in tomorrow. Will search & capture some positivity. Focus on 💦💦💦.

4/29 132.0. Fluctuations from no sleep, stress. 🏋️‍♀️for 20 min.
🚫✅. I fear IBS is back. It’s been years…. Rough day with those old familiar pains. ☔️ today. Will be sure to 💦💦💦. Hoping for a much better day.

Since I’m not feeling well, may just hit this hard Wed 5/1. Not an excuse to delay, just some grace. IBS hurts like hell. However, there will be stretches when I feel great so I will fit some “FIT” in…. Certainly don’t want to give in….. Let’s GO!💪🏻

4/30 132.0 slept till 6am with a little help from an Ibuprofen p.m.
Let’s see how today unfolds …?yesterday 🏋️‍♀️ 20 min and 💦💦💦. Try for same plus 💦💦💦.

WOE & Health Journey
****************************

WOE since 7/2023: MAD: (Mostly Animal Diet) Whole Foods. No processed foods. Animal-based proteins: EGGS, Beef, pork, chicken, seafood, venison and grass-fed whey protein. I count macros & kcals - always will. (Since portion control is my issue). Keto is high-fat but I’m now leaner animal proteins with lower fat than Keto. I thought I was “KETOVORE” but I’ve been told I am “MAD”.

I had paralyzing IBS for 20+ years. My mother was diagnosed with celiac’s disease in her 50’s. Following her lead, I eliminated wheat, oat, barley, and rye in 2015 …. Dairy? Hard cheese, HWC and butter - an occasional high protein Greek yogurt. Vegetables destroy my digestive system… I love vegetables, but when I splurge, I pay for it for several days… I do enjoy berries, lemons, limes. Avocados are my weakness. Enjoy a piece(s) of dark chocolate on occasion. Generally, I eat btw noon and 6 pm. (IF18/6). Alcohol? Used to be somewhat of a weekend 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 journey toward my best-self. I haven’t given up alcohol completely, but I enjoy it sparingly on special occasions. This is me. I finally feel terrific.

History:
I have ALWAYS been ON a “diet” since at least 9th grade. I have never been comfortable with my body - NEVER EVER- no matter my weight.

Pre- college: 125-130lbs
College- up to 160lbs one year… graduated @130lbs.
Many MANY different diets each decade!
1990 (Age 32) - Avg.130-140 lbs (my son was born 1988)
2000 (Age 42) -Avg 145 -160
Menopause - Age 50
2010 (Age 52) - HW 172 lbs 2014 (Age 56) 130lbs
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!

2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140lbs. 🎢🎢🎢 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. My 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 - to enjoy my “Senior” years to my fullest.

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. I want healthy/fit choices to be my first nature.

Cumulative Round Results

Finally decided to with myself-and have gained all my weight back- So joining mid-round because this challenge has given me the accountability I need and helped fortify my will power while surrounding me with others who are supportive and understanding of challenges.

SW RND 124.0

4/30- 124- Surprised to see this number- inspired to start again on tracking my food intake and pushing myself to exercise. Have been battling a head cold for several days, somewhat my fault, pushed myself during the weekend when I should have listened to my body , now my body calling the shots.

Round 257
April 26 - May 5, 2024

62 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 two parents, 87(mother), 85(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 (father has since passed and I am DPOA, Personal representative AKA executor, trustee, and oversee the majority of my mother’s care). 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

4/26 – renpho 126.6 Made it to my MIL. Today is a repack day. Still not back to proper tracking, but I will be thought during my travels.

4/27 – renpho 126.2 Tracked perfectly yesterday and made good choices dining out last night. Hit my numbers. Online now for about 3 minutes to make my post. I have 45 minutes to do breakfast, deal with the cats and get settled into the car. We drive 820 miles today and stay overnight in Virginia.

4/28 – renpho 125.6 not sure how but grateful. Hopefully home scale will agree tomorrow morning. Calories tracked, but solidly over.

4/29 – 126.0 Home! Down around three or four pounds since the New Year, and my creep up. Glad I stopped it when I did. That’s an improvement for me as my life history shows repeat swings of 25 or 30 lbs. While I am in the range I have stated I want, this number is the max, so I would like to clean a little off so that my “bumps” still remain in range.

4/30 – 128.2 Yep, went off the deep end yesterday. Scale is confirming lots of salt, carbs and quantity.

4/26 170.0 My weight is a little up from yesterday. Feeling a little blah and like my body is holding water. Could be the meal I had yesterday evening. Planning to drink a lot of water today. I have been slacking on vegetables lately so I need to start working those more into my meals too.
4/27 170.0 Weighed this morning but didn't get around to posting. Will update more in the morning
4/28 170.6 Busy day yesterday so I didn't drink enough water. Stayed in my goals but there was cake and ice cream last night.

4/29 169.5 Ate light yesterday but still snuck in a half piece of cake 😆. Thankfully the cake is almost gone lol... I'm not getting enough sleep. The past couple of days I've just been exhausted. Really think it's a mixture of not sleeping much and the way I've eaten lately. Although I'm still meeting my goals, we have eaten out a lot lately. I think that definitely plays a part in the way I feel too.
4/30 170.6 The scale has been all over the place lately when I weigh myself, and it's fairly new. I try to go with the weight that I get 2 or 3 the same. Might have to get another set. I have another one that is newer also but it's not digital.

~ Didn’t really log my food until the day was almost done. Husband started the keto diet with me. He’s being very strict about it, minus the very light beer he drinks every day after work(3 or 4) Curious if anyone could give me and my husband advice on which vitamins to take and at what dosage to take them daily while we’re in the early stages of the keto diet?
Thank you in advance!! 🤗

Day, Comment

4/26 - DNW
DH wanted fish and chips yesterday & we didn't feel like driving downtown to the Irish pub, so we went to Culver’s. I had a burger. I rarely eat beef—it doesn’t agree with me—but it sounded so good, and it was, but I’ve had an upset stomach since last night. My system pretty clearly does not want beef, which is fine with me. Next time I’ll stick with the salad!

4/27 - DNW
I’m not weighing or tracking these days, but I feel very bloated and heavy. Also quite lazy. Spring fever? Possibly. I have some big garden jobs waiting for me when the rain and wind stop and I’m hoping being outdoors more will get me out of my funk. Today is very windy so I’m thinking some indoor clearing might be good for the soul. We really don’t have clutter, but there are things I could recycle and places that could stand a good cleaning. I don’t like doing it, but I like having it done! Enjoy your Saturday!

4/28 - DNW
I’m feeling less bloated today—I think I’ve flushed out the salt from Thursday’s splurge. I managed to get out in the garden a little yesterday, but it was not very pleasant because of the wind. Today is calmer, but so I’ll pull a few weeds before my afternoon knitfest with a friend. Wishing you all a lovely day.

4/29 - DNW

Well, my experiment in not tracking is a bust. I weighed myself this morning after a couple of weeks of not weighing or tracking food and I’ve gained. I actually have trouble wrapping my head around how quickly I gain how much. Anyway, I’m back to tracking and plan to weigh in again (and report) the end of the round, after a few days of paying attention. Sigh.

1. Eat within calorie goals
2. Get a walk in every day
3. Drink water
4. Stay positive
5. Remember, the tortoise wins the race

4/26 - 204.4 Glad to be starting a new round. I fell off the wagon the last three days of the last round. Very frustrating when I was doing so well. It's amazing what can happen when you go back to those old habits. The end of the month of April will be in this round and I had a goal to achieve. I'm going to be focused on that and do the best I can. Well here's to a new start and a new day.

4/27

4/28 206.8

4/29 206.4 I’ve not been very good about staying in the calorie goal and I’ve had way too many snacks. I need to turn this around today and finish the month of April a little lower.

4/30 205.2. Well that loss definitely shows that when you do the things you are suppose to you lose weight. Trying to keep this going for more than one day. My goal for the end of April was 205 so I was only .2 lbs off so I am calling it a win. May begins tomorrow and I would like to lose 5 pounds for the month. I have a lot of traveling scheduled so I need to be disciplined.

@Krysless2 I don’t know about vitamins but as far as electrolytes, magnesium and potassium seem to be most important for me. If you experience muscle cramps, drink pickle juice. The amount of electrolytes in mixes or prepared waters are minimal and pricey. Your husband will probably do better without the beer because the liver processes alcohol first.

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

Comments pertain to previous day

SW RND 258 133.5
4/26 134.5 I expected a higher bounce since I ate most of a loaded baked potato. I got grilled shrimp instead of the intended lobster and passed on the warm loaves of bread.
4/27 134.5 We went for BBQ at lunch but I wasn’t hungry so picked at my brisket. Ate my potato skin for dinner - added butter, cheese and sour cream. Quite a treat since I have always loved potato skin. Today is French toast breakfast at the clubhouse. I hope they have eggs and bacon, too.
4/28 133.5 I’m surprised since I ate the French toast. The only other thing I ate was a small piece of steak (left from Outback) and 7 boiled shrimp with homemade bang bang sauce.
4/29 134.5 Great Greek yesterday. What is it about that that always causes a bump up or is that from the load of carbs from French toast on Saturday? Side salad and steak. I made a coffee cake and took it to neighbors but didn’t eat even a crumb.

itladyee · April 2024

Hi, I'm Charissa, back for another round. I will keep coming back and I will get this thing right, sooner or later. Hopefully sooner!

Thank you, QuiltingJaine, for keeping us focused in 2024!

So here we go 2024... my motto -
🏋🏾‍♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
Eat well 🥗to Live Well 🚢✈️🧳
H2O - Make it Flow 💦💦💦
Note to Self: Alcohol kills weight loss as the focus is burning alcohol calories and not fat calories!

Good progress towards the end of round 257. Sometimes I just get in a funk and get tired of all that needs to be done. I don't stop but it's not 100% effort either. Feeling good at the start of this round so here we go!

Within the next 2 rounds - I want to see 213. It's possible in this round but it will be tough but, who knows....

Goals this round:
Goal/Current State
- Tracking/Under Calorie Budget 🍎- Ended round 257 very well
- Macros - hit Protein ✅ - Doing Well
- Water - 64oz minimum > trying hard for 80💧 Hit 80 a few times and rarely below 64oz
- Closing my rings M-F🚶🏽 -Excellent

4/26 217.8 Always a bump as the round starts. But that's ok. It was all about the salt. I guess it's better here than at the end!🙂 This was a particularly frustrating work week and we were super busy last week so I'm ready for a nice relaxing, do nothing (except my Sat work out) weekend!! 3/4 macros ✅💧🚶🏽
4/27 216 that bump was short lived!! Sweet... Now, just get past the weekend. 4/4 macros🍎✅💧🚶🏽
4/28 DNW - Weekend and sure it went up. 4/4 macros🍎✅💧🚶🏽
4/29 218.6 ~ Need some good days in a row!!! I did really well with water this weekend. I bought a new cup that holds 50 ounces (it's heavy when full) but I only have to fill it twice~ it also has a clear top so I can see my water level. I was looking for a clear one that would keep the water cold so I guess this is the next best thing! Two days straight at 90 ounces!! Did not sleep well last night though. 3/4 macros🍎✅💧
4/30 218.4 ~ expected a little bit more but down is down. Drinking water like crazy and I'm tired of the view from the bathroom....but ya gotta do....4/4 macros 🍎✅💧🚶🏽

@judefit1 ~ Bummer! I was really hoping that your sister did not get it. I'm definitely sending prayers her way! Glad you're feeling better though.

@jedaschultz ~ Congrats on hitting your goal for April. I surely call that a win!!!
@SheilaBoneham ~ in site of the gain, you probably needed the break. I too have a lot of trouble with how quickly I can gain, yet it takes months to lose.

04/29 —DNW I went to look at another investment property today so I’m posting late. I ended up stopping at a bar with my son so we could get his favorite (Pizza). He wanted me to “pay him back” for being my GPS tracker. I would like to weigh in tomorrow since it’s the last day of the month but we’ll have to see if this incredible bloat goes away. I still think that I may have a bit of lactose intolerance in my old age. That cheese on the pizza has not done me any favors this evening.

Hi, I'm Charissa, back for another round. I will keep coming back and I will get this thing right, sooner or later. Hopefully sooner!

Thank you, QuiltingJaine, for keeping us focused in 2024!

So here we go 2024... my motto -
🏋🏾‍♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
Eat well 🥗to Live Well 🚢✈️🧳
H2O - Make it Flow 💦💦💦
Note to Self: Alcohol kills weight loss as the focus is burning alcohol calories and not fat calories!

Good progress towards the end of round 257. Sometimes I just get in a funk and get tired of all that needs to be done. I don't stop but it's not 100% effort either. Feeling good at the start of this round so here we go!

Within the next 2 rounds - I want to see 213. It's possible in this round but it will be tough but, who knows....

Goals this round:
Goal/Current State
- Tracking/Under Calorie Budget 🍎- Ended round 257 very well
- Macros - hit Protein ✅ - Doing Well
- Water - 64oz minimum > trying hard for 80💧 Hit 80 a few times and rarely below 64oz
- Closing my rings M-F🚶🏽 -Excellent

Dates = Weight ; Comments regarding prior day.
4/26 217.8 Always a bump as the round starts. But that's ok. It was all about the salt. I guess it's better here than at the end!🙂 This was a particularly frustrating work week and we were super busy last week so I'm ready for a nice relaxing, do nothing (except my Sat work out) weekend!! 3/4 macros ✅💧🚶🏽
4/27 216 that bump was short lived!! Sweet... Now, just get past the weekend. 4/4 macros🍎✅💧🚶🏽
4/28 DNW - Weekend and sure it went up. 4/4 macros🍎✅💧🚶🏽
4/29 218.6 ~ Need some good days in a row!!! I did really well with water this weekend. I bought a new cup that holds 50 ounces (it's heavy when full) but I only have to fill it twice~ it also has a clear top so I can see my water level. I was looking for a clear one that would keep the water cold so I guess this is the next best thing! Two days straight at 90 ounces!! Did not sleep well last night though. 3/4 macros🍎✅💧

179 / 178 / 177 / 176 / 175 / 174 / 173 / 172 / 171 / 170 👉 169

Goal: Shoot for a healthy balance of nutritious food each day, 80oz of water, and some form of exercise that I enjoy.

4/26 - 181.8
4/27 - 180.4
4/28 - 179.0 - I've been part of this challenge off and on (more on) since Dec 2020. I haven't posted since Sept 2023. I'm almost back to my heaviest weight. I can blame this on not being able to exercise due to some major health issues, but truthfully I think I just started eating more and more as self-comfort and some depression. I never think I'm going to "really" have any major health problems (most people feel this way, I believe). Because I've had two major issues over the past 2 years, I started losing my confidence that everything was going to be okay. However, I'm so much better now!! And ready to get healthy again!! It makes me nervous to talk about my health issues (it's like putting it out there in the universe is bad luck - I know, I'm weird), but later I hope to post a few comments as my experience might help others. I'm glad to be back posting, Everyone on here has always been so positive and supportive of each other💗
4/29 - 178.6

4/30 - 177.4 - Enjoying the initial downward trend while losing some water weight these first days mainly due to lower carbs and drinking a lot more water.

@fmfdfa2020, welcome back!

@SheilaBoneham, Ah yeah, it's difficult not tracking on mfp when you're accustomed to doing it. I also think everyone needs a break from it when it feels burdensome.

4/30: 254.0, the old me would have given up this weekend, and would be up a few pounds... but i'm glad that i'm just pressing on and making better choices

Round 258: Female, 62 yy, 4'11''
Goals for 10 Day Challenge: weigh-in & post daily! Initial Goal 1-2 lbs/week (1.4-2.9 for 10 days).
Highest Weight Ever: 177.2
Starting Weight: 163.4
Starting BMI: 32.9
Starting BF%: 43.4%

4/26 162.2, BF% 43.1 staying within calories and did get to the weight room today! Mix of legs/chest today. Have lost some strength since December (last visit) so need to build back up.
4/27 161.2, BF% 42.8 no time to post
4/28 161.1, BF% 42.7 early weigh-in to catch an early flight to go to my mom, who is undergoing a biopsy this week for a suspicious ovarian cyst (CA125 elevated). I did have room in carry-on bag for Renpho scale so will be able to weigh-in while here. Now to run to the grocery store to stock up on some high protein food & snacks, fiber, and greens!
4/29 160.2, BF% 42.5 Good news is that I am down 1 lb of visceral fat (the really bad kind of fat that accumulates around organs) so at least that is budging now! Day of phone tag trying to get mom’s biopsy scheduled. Cardiac doctor is out until Wednesday so can’t get authorization until then. PET/CT scan results concerning.
4/30 160.4, BF% 42.6 slight increase, but still great for the week! Got a 2.8 walk in this morning to go for a latte. Tomorrow have a 2 hour drive to take my mom to Little Rock for her biopsy and drain some of the fluid off the mass.
