You’re a gem. 💎

Yes, I'm in again, I need to "Get Back" !! Thank you @quiltingjaine.

clprieur · June 23

Hey @quiltingjaine! Long time no see.

I haven't been around for a long time, but I find myself struggling to maintain a weight that I am happy with, so I thought I'd join in again. Ideally I'd like to lose around 25 lbs, but even 20 lbs would be a good start. The trick is to do it without negatively impacting my mental health. Wish me luck.

judefit1 · June 23

Thanks so much @quiltingjaine! This round I'll be at my 1/2 year mark and on vacation, so it's extra important!

@clprieur: nice to meet you and welcome back!

Leigh_b · June 23

Hello again everyone!

I've been gone since dropping out of Round 258 midway through, having let the chaos and stress of my life and job take over and convincing myself that I do not have time to be part of this challenge and community.

It's been two months (Round 258 started on April 26th) and while the good news is that I have somehow managed to maintain my weight during that time - I started 258 at 148.1 and weighed in this morning at exactly that same weight

- I have also not been consistent or accountable in the way I want or need to be. It's amazing what typing and posting two to three sentences a day can do to keep the train on the tracks.

When I was last here, I was also working to rebuild my running base and train for a marathon scheduled for the last weekend in August. Unfortunately, in combination with my life's chaos and my subsequent challenge drop-out, I injured my left foot. I have spent the past 6 weeks with a walking boot on and have run exactly zero miles in that time. (which makes the fact that I have not gained any weight somewhat miraculous)

In addition to the August marathon now being most definitely off the table, I have lost the fitness I worked so hard to build in the first 4 months of the year. It is both frustrating and disappointing to have all of my goals for the year completely unattainable and losing all of the forward progress and momentum I had built. I got cleared to be out of my boot this past Wednesday and have spent the past 4 days getting my foot used to walking normally again. Tomorrow morning and the rest of this week, I plan to go out walking in the mornings before work, and if all goes well start to build the running back the following week. Fingers crossed it goes well.

@Leigh_b: so good to see you again! Life- especially with kids- definitely makes for twists and turns (no pun intended!) Sorry about your plans getting derailed and glad you're back-hope the foot heals quickly!

SW (first round) 155.8
SW (this round) 148.1

6/25 - 148.7 - walked 2 miles this morning. Still not sure how my foot is coping with its new freedom from the boot. While walking it felt great. After walking it felt great. Later in the day I had a lot of aching pain on the ball of my foot - but that is not where the injury was so I was confused about the source of the pain. Thinking that maybe it is just my foot adjusting back to walking “normally” again??? By the end of the day, there was no more pain. Fingers crossed it stays that way and I can walk again tomorrow morning.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 264 (my 194th). So grateful @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Goals for this round;
• First and foremost, no feeding frenzies
• to stay under 140 pounds,
• to lose!

I was shocked towards the end of last round to read back that my very first round in JGM10Ds, I was 10 pounds lighter then in March 2019 !!! I need to get my finger out & in the words of the song "Get Back to Where you Once Belonged" !!!!!! And it is Global Beatles Day 😊.
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.

I was shocked to read back my very first round in JGM10Ds, I was 10 pounds lighter back then in March 2019 !!! I need to get my finger out & in the words of the song "Get Back" !!!!!!

YoungatheartXOXO · June 25

Hello to the group. 👋
Thank you for having a 10 day challenge, it’s short enough to not be scary but long enough to make a change and provide motivation to continue.
I’m Helen, from the U.K. it’s round number 1 for me. 😊
I’ve been on and off MFP many times. I’m currently nursing a back/hip injury that has effected my ability to exercise recently. But I’m hoping to start physiotherapy soon.
Starting weight 170lbs.
current weight is 162lbs
Goal weight is 140lbs.
I’m 5’5”. I’m going to try intermittent fasting 12/12 split, I’ve started the challenge today. 🤞.
Round 1
Day 1 24\6\24 - 162lbs. So far good. Everything logged. 45 mins Pilates. 11,357 steps 💃. Fasting started 6 mins ago 7pm. So I’m really hoping I can stay away from late night snacks, one of my many downfalls.
Yay managed to not eat after 7pm!! That is a huge psychological break through for me. If I can do that on one night, I can do it again tonight - one day at a time. 👍🏼
25/6/24 - 161lbs. Yay I managed not to snack last night! This is a huge psychological leap for me. Positive message to self - if I can go without a snack last night I can do without one tonight 💭 .

Hi everyone! I’m 34 years old and 164 cm (5’ 4,5”). I have a very sedentary life, since I am a PhD researcher. I work mostly from home or sometimes I go to a cafe. Sometimes I go to the gym 2-3 times in a week, but sometimes I don’t go for weeks. I don’t have a routine. I’ve been overweight since I was 18 and every year I gained more and more. In the last 1,5 years I have been between 103-105 kg (227-231 lbs). My ultimate goal weight 70 kg (154 lbs), but firstly I want to go below 103 kg which I stuck for 1,5 years. Then I hope go below 100 kg (220 lbs).

I started on 20 June, it’s still early days so being consistent is very important throughout this challenge. I aim to take 1600 calories a day and reach my macro goals. I am not crazy strict, but I don’t wanna be too loose and off the track either.

SW: 105 kg (20 June)
UGW: 70 kg

RSW: 104.4 kg

NSVs/Journey Reflections…. 👇🏻
********************************
👇🏻Review since my first R231

1. ✅Avg. close to 10k steps per day for 8+ mos. Not bad. It’s no longer a “daily goal” because it’s now a daily healthy habit - 👏🏻🤩
2. ✅Healthy Habit: 🙆‍♀️ I stretch daily and that has greatly improved my attitude & confidence.
3. ✅HH: I play 🎾about 4-5x per week.
4. ✅HH: Z2 💕avg 60 min/day
5. ✅HH: zero to 15g of net carbs/ day
6. ✅Clean P:E 115-130g Protein (this is new)
7. ✅HH Naturally IF 18/6. Eating window=noon to 6PM.
8. ✅💦80oz daily
9. ✅Alcohol limited to rare occasions.
10. 7 to 8 hours sleep per night is a goal. Sleep is still inconsistent the last few rounds…

Tremendous progress since last July, but still “skinny-fat”. I want 🏋️‍♀️to become a healthy habit too. … 🏋️‍♀️20 min per day or 30 min 3-4x per week. Continue to journal📝 and to strive to ID unhelpful habits & replace with helpful ones.

Staying in the present moment is key to mental health and healthy choices.

Rotating 115g to 130g of protein per day is now a non-negotiable. In my dreams, I want to be 130lbs #HSF … 😎 I want to be Healthy, Strong & Fit to live out “Chapter 3” enjoying a full range of mobility, flexibility & activities… !

Rnd 264 End Weight 174.8

6/25 175.4 there is the weekend being a bump on a log bump. I’m so thankful for this challenge and the ten day reset! I was very blah last round and it showed in my weight and in how I feel.
Today I’m starting off optimistic and focused. I have to work on some of my food choices because as usual I have been relying on activity level and exercise to burn off junk food. This is how I get into trouble every Dec- March.
I need to work on eating before I’m so hungry that I let my junk food cravings control me. I also need to work on how I can effectively deal with my cravings not just satisfy them and trust that I’ll burn off the calories tomorrow.

6/25 173.4 I have to admit this time is the hardest time I’ve ever had losing weight. I’ve been at this since March 2 and have yet to see that 20 lb. loss which I thought I’d have had weeks ago. The thing is, I’ve been pretty consistent with food intake and getting in more protein and lower carbs than I was used to. I’ve exercised more, but not in the extreme. I have not done well with water although I don’t drink calories either so I get a fair amount each day. Here’s to another round for all of us. Good luck, everyone!

This roller coaster of my life that I was shoved onto 2 years ago continues to careen and somehow speed up! I have every intention of fully participating in this round, thank goodness no traveling for next 10 days. But to just add jet fuel to my chaos, my neighbor offered to buy my house last weekend and I said yes. So now 2 months to move. Eeeks!!! Looking forward to starting my next chapter in my life and getting off this current ride. Losing these last few pounds, which seems be the only thing I cannot lose seems like a great place to start. I need to weigh myself, weigh my food, track my food and participate on this blog. These goals have worked magic for me before. Look forward to reading all of your postings...

6/25: 122.2 Down a pound from last week - been waiting for this challenge to start. Also I am going to not drink on weekdays, lucky I am planning to play pickleball this evening, such a calorie burner.

This avoidance of logging has been my downfall lately. When I am diligent about logging, it works on my mind. I ask myself, “do a really want to face logging this snack?”

The food logging thing is what attracted me to MFP in the first place. So easy! Just do it Jeff!

About macros. I know they are important, but I share a grocery list with my DW and she doesn’t give two hoots about getting that granular. Plus, I find it almost impossible to meet protein goals, so that pushes me away from macro gazing also. Maybe I should try again. Protein snacks?

We’re on vacation for this entire round, which is usually when the upswing happens in my “yoyo”. This year I promised myself I’d change that pattern, learning to eat well and maintain my weight even when breaking from my daily routine.

Vacation starts on the 3rd!! A couple of months ago I set a goal to be between 205-203 lbs by the time we went on vacation. I’m very near that goal and would love to hit it, but realistically I don’t know if I can. I’m going to stay consistent and focus on life changes not short term wins.

About macros. I know they are important, but I share a grocery list with my DW and she doesn’t give two hoots about getting that granular. Plus, I find it almost impossible to meet protein goals, so that pushes me away from macro gazing also. Maybe I should try again. Protein snacks?

Increasing my protein has been much harder than I expected. I found Pure Protein bars are really good and they second as a sweet snack for me. They have galactic brownies (like the Little Debbies), strawberry, mint chocolate, and churros, which are all good in my opinion. I also started mixing vanilla protein powder with Greek yogurt and some granola. A quick breakfast (or snack) with a mega punch of protein.

I moved from the mindset of “must reach all macros goals” to this is a consistent increase, and I’m making conscious decisions to make better choices. That helps me feel more positive about macros and less frustrated that I’m not meeting them.

This is my first round. I’m looking forward to this challenge for accountability!
