Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 263

Jensmakingprogress · June 20

Changed my username from Jenhuey01 to Jensmakingprogress.

New round new opportunities

RND 260 SW 222.4 EW 221.6
RND 261 SW 221.6 EW 219.4
RND 262 SW 219.4 EW 214.4
RND 263 SW 215.4 EW TBD

Same goals for this round:
1. Drink at least 90 oz of water a day
2. Close my rings
3. Log my food
4. Goal weight 209

6/15 215.4
6/16 215.6 I’m not happy with this. I know my activity wasn’t as high the last couple of days and I haven’t been drinking water like I should. I’m struggling to believe that small changes like water intake can have such an effect on weight. I’m going to be better about my water and just keep at it. Trying hard not to let the weight gain get me down. I know it’s not a lot, but it feels like when I get excited that I’m doing the right thing to lose weight, the scale goes back up. Time to push past the negative thoughts and keep working. It’s a lifestyle change, which means there will be fluctuations.

6/17 211.4 I know this is 100% water weight, but I’m going to enjoy it for now. I expect the number to fluctuate some more, but if this is the push I need to reach my round goal, I’ll take it.

6/18 214 A little more fluctuation than I’d hoped for, but I ate a lot yesterday and I ate dinner late, so all in all I’m good.

6/19 212.2

6/20 211.6 Happy birthday to me!! Went out yesterday to celebrate my birthday (early) and enjoyed spending time with family. Celebrating a NSV that I enjoyed going out and managed to lose a few more ounces rather than gain.

@SheilaBoneham I have read a couple of your books and really enjoyed them! I took a hard deep breath when I read you'd thrown out old manuscript starts, but was relieved to also read you still have your digital copies. I know it must have felt good to heave all the old papers into the trash, though! I hope you find your writing mojo again, because I think you are a talented writer with good stories still left in you. I understand going through seasons of change though, and although they can be hard, they usually lead us to a better place. I wish you peace, my online friend.

@UTMom81 Thank you for that! ❤️

I’m late for the challenge but I didn’t want to wait the next one.
So… I’ve been on mfp more than 10 years now. Sometimes I had used this app regularly for a few months, then I couldn’t stay consistent and gained more weight and came back, it’s a vicious circle. I don’t know how many times I tried and never achieved my goal weight. It is very depressing, but I am still here to try again.

Day/Weight/Comment
06/14 …..183.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

06/15 -182.8- (Trend weight 184.4)

06/16 -184.4- (Trend weight 184.5)

06/17 -187.0- (Trend weight 184.7)

06/18 -186.4- (Trend weight 184.9)

06/19 -186.2- (Trend weight185.0) I went to the hairdressers yesterday to have my roots just across the top foiled a bit with some blending color. I have been in the process of seeing how I would look with some natural grays so the foils are only to blend with my bottom half and make it look a bit better in the process. My head is losing so much hair (balding even) that the salon refused to put any chemicals or dye onto it this time. From here on out, cuts only. No dye, no perms, no matter how small. My dermatologist specialist I’m being sent to can’t see me until October but it is a well-respected doctor working for University of Michigan. It will be nice to find out what is going on. I was bald once during my chemo treatments years ago. I don’t want to deal with that again. Is this weight loss induced? My cancer medication (or another medication)? Hormone related? Vitamin deficiency? Protein deficiency? Needless to say I’ve tried everything on my own. I can’t take much more loss, especially in the shower. So my 3 hour appointment was more like 20 minutes. I ended up heading out of town for some diet snacks I was running low on. I didn’t get home until 8 pm after shopping. Dinner was out (Mexican) so I’m glad I still had a small loss. Hopefully no surprises on the scale tomorrow.

06/20 -185.2- (Trend weight185.0) A nice little one pound drop today which is likely a lot of fluid. I shed water all night so my quality of sleep suffered but my scale rewarded. I’m still really fighting the night time snack urges no matter how late I have my dinner, how heavy my dinner is and no matter what protein or fiber or healthy fat I add to my evening. It’s not hunger (most of the time), it’s boredom and/or habit. Reading is not helping. TV is not helping. I’m just keeping all healthier snacks in the house and hoping I can keep from overeating them. This is tough. Luckily I’ve been doing this long enough to have no issues with my meals 99% of the time (as long as they are at home). I’m also still struggling with exercise. When I’m hot, I’m hot and when I’m not, I’m not. Right now I’m unmotivated and lazy about it. Perhaps I’ll start slow and work my way back up to some useful and meaningful movement every day. Glad to see my weight going back down in the right direction though. However, I can't help but notice as I look up this post at my entries (June 15) that I gained 4.2 in two days but have only lost 1.8 in three days. but who ever promised that life would always be fair?

06/21 -xxxxx- (Trend weightxxxxx)

06/22 -xxxxx- (Trend weightxxxxx)

06/23 -xxxxx- (Trend weightxxxxx)

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

Welcome! and congratulations for NEVER giving up! Losing weight is never easy. It is important to keep trying until you progress and get it right, not perfect. There is no perfection in eating right or losing weight. We all have to find what works for us. Keep up the good work! You can do it!

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 263 133.0
6/15 134.0 Upcoming birthday for friend at Golden Corral on Monday doesn’t thrill me especially after anticipated Father’s Day lunch of pizza on Sunday. Just shoot me now! On the plus side - water fitness M, W, F and gym T, Th, F. I’m not doing a lot but anything is better than nothing.
6/16 133.5 Day off from “working out” Even though I’m pleased with myself for getting back to doing activities, I am so mad at myself for letting myself become the ultimate couch potato for the last several years. Once I sat down for COVID closures, I never really got up. I know there are lots of others who did this too. Don’t get me wrong, I have always tended towards being a slug and it was too easy to fall back into that. So I’m depressed about that and losing Oskar has compounded my “depression.”
6/17 133.5 Amazed I didn’t go up. Had pizza for Father’s Day lunch - 3 slices. Later I had 7 shrimp left from the other night. Tonight Golden Corral for friend’s birthday.
6/18 135.0 I had a pity party after “emergency” dentist visit and ate all not LCHF at GC. If I get my act together today it should be gone soon.
6/19 134.5 Eating yesterday was good. Getting a haircut today.
6/20 134.5 Bingo last night, eating last night was good until the Fat Boy ice cream sandwich.

5/18- 173.8
5/19- 172.8
5/20- 176.8 so either I was just slowly dehydrating over three days mimicking weight loss or I actually gained 4lbs over night. Or both! Or neither!
DD and her boyfriend were here for the market and I missed checking in this morning with all of the activity in the house.
So many interesting, encouraging and insightful posts in the last 24hrs.

6/19: Incredibly frustrated. It’s been a busy few days helping our DD and SIL move into their first home. I’ve not over eaten. Have been having GI issues, constipation. Feeling that pressure from the first of the year dreams of being to goal weight by my birthday (July) and knowing I’ve just moved back and forth on the scale several pounds. I’d love some encouragement from those who have seen weight come off consistently. What did you do to move the scale in a downwards trend? Thanks!

For me, I started to look at the scale as a gauge of what I was eating the day before instead of a judgment on my calorie intake. I started noting what foods (and how much) seemed to kick the weight up the next day compared to the days I was seeing success- high sodium and heavy on fats seem to do damage for me, but everyone is different, and everyone's journeys vary. Also, I keep coming here because it's a great group who want you to succeed, and the posts truly help me

@judefit1

Julia, this is so good! I’m only realizing this now! After how many years?! So good!

I am just loving this conversation so much! Thanks everyone! Awesome insights!

@Garbagegang - Just keep fighting and trying different things. Don't give the scale the power to make you feel like a failure or discouraged in anyway. I look at my scale as a teacher and friend. It is only a tool to help us on our journey to get healthier. When we get stuck we just have to dig and research things and see if it is actually a plateau or something else. But all of the ideas given are awesome. Whatever you do stick with it and the scale will move.

Weighing daily has taught me so much over the years. I truly believe if I had weighed daily I never would have weighed over 600 at one point. I weigh everyday unless I am out of town or I just forget every so often. Even when I have a bad day or I make a choice to eat something I know will make the scale go up I still weigh because IT is OK if the scale goes up.

This is a lifestyle and in life none of us are perfect. I allow myself to make choices when I have special occasions or I just want that bag of butter popcorn at the show, etc. We have to learn to live and be healthy. Over the years I have watched all my dear skinny friends and that is all they do. They eat what they want when they want but the next day or week they eat and exercise right. One day we all will be there. It is important to never be in a diet mentality and be in a lifestyle mode because you will be more likely to have long term success. You got this!

6/16 - 62.2kg/137lbs - look, I'm not off to a good start but that's okay. I'm feeling optimistic and it will be better next week. Just looking for some motivation. I'm sure I'll find it tomorrow

6/17 - 62kg/136lbs - I started the week off really motivated but I didn't move as much as I'd like too. It's so cold BUT!! I did manage to play my Switch Fitness Game. So, it's something!
6/18 - 61.5kgs/135.5lbs - Finally got into gear to move. Took the dog for a walk despite it being 1 degree (he enjoyed it). Didn't have a have a heavy dinner. Quinoa, chickpea salad with fetta, spinach, cucumber and a few veggie patties. I used a mint greek yogurt as a dressing. I also did a second day of Switch and managed to get my boyfriend included which was great. I've also re-started fasting. So, hoping that helps.
6/19 - 61.4kgs/135.3 - Still sticking to the Switch to move but I did didn't spend too much time today. Was so tired by 6pm but I managed to get on for 10 minutes. Put that with walking the dog and I was at least moving for about 30 minutes today and thats from WFH. Dinner was brown rice and mild Thai red curry. I'm working in the office tomorrow so that will help me with my step.
6/20 - 60.7kg/133.8lbs - I didn't do my Switch today. Was too tired from travelling to and from work but I hit 12k steps.

I try not to complain about the many changes that the new owners (now old owners actually) of MFP have made, but how I miss the old MFP sometimes. But just like everything else we have to take the good with the bad and focus on the good and move on. There are not too many things free anymore... So, I am getting over MFP getting rid of newsfeeds

Nothing stands stills and changes are going to continue in all avenues of life. Have a great weekend everyone! :

Yesterday I had friends over for dinner and it was very nice. I did not do too bad eating. I burned over 4100 calories working and cooking so I burned enough to maintain for extra calories I ate. I only splurged on leftover pound cake I should have sent it home but I kept it. It is one of my favorites. I cut the rest up and put it in the freezer. It was only 3 pcs left. I hope everyone had a great weekend.
@Chapter_3 – Thanks so much for that article on sabotage!! It was a great reminder.

Went for a short walk last night after dark. It was breezy and nice. I can’t walk in this heat. I overate last night but happy to see I maintained. The foods I ate were clean but still way over on calories. I will plan better tonight. I have to go to Costco. I may walk in there before I do my shopping. Stay cool Everyone!

It always amazes me how fast these 10 days go. I am still not happy MFP got rid of the newsfeeds but I am very glad to be back here because it is helping me for sure just knowing I have to check in. It is amazing! I have to admit this group is more helpful than the newsfeed. It forces me to check in more often than I did with the newsfeed. I have not seen this number on the scale since April. Thanks for all of the wonderful and encouraging posts. I don’t always have time to read them but I will always do my best to read some of them each day.

My journey … "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"

In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs.

In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.

In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs

My highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"

I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.

I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.

Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.

Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.

On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.

My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.

Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 263 (my 193rd). So grateful @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Goals for this round;
• to stay under 140 pounds,
• no feeding frenzies
• to lose!
I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.

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.

SW RND 263
6/15 138.2 – (trend 139.8) there’s that lovely number again making an entrance to start the round. 8.31 miles walked, just under 70% exercise calories eaten back.
6/16 139.6 – (trend 139.8) 6.06 miles walked, ate out with family as an early birthday celebration for DH last night, looked at the menu in advance & selected healthily with non-alcoholic cider, uh and there was birthday cake, eat lightly beforehand, but still 500 calories over. Travel up to Liverpool today, staying overnight, eating in the hotel, but packed a healthy lunch.
6/17 DNW - 9.94 miles walked, best guesstimate 200 calories over yesterday. Tickets booked for The Beatles Story this morning.
6/18 140.4 - (trend 139.8) urgh, results of 2 days eating out! That's one goal missed, never mind back home now with no more events this round and all home prepared for ahead, it's more promising to get back. 7.15 miles, 75% exercise calories eaten back .
6/19 139.6 – (trend 139.8) – And back down! 7.83 miles walked, less than 30% of exercise calories eaten back.

6/20 140 (trend 139.8) – drove 2 hours each way to attend little DGD’s school sports day & communal picnic followed by watching youngest at her swimming lesson. No structured walking hence calories over.
6/21 139.6 – (trend 139.8) 9.81 miles walked, less than 50% exercise calories eaten back.
