Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 285

Skyleen75 · January 22

I enjoy reading everyone’s posts with my morning coffee.

Highest weight 242 lbs
Lowest weight 142 lbs (2019)
Re-start JGMTD Feb 2024 @ 204 lbs

Round 284 End Weight 177.6

1/21 176.2
1/22 173.6 Yesterday was a good exercise day but I definitely did not eat enough. I expect to see a rebound tomorrow. I have to be careful about being too restrictive.
I would rather see the higher number then under nourish myself. I’m focused on finding that balance.

@UTMom81: you look fantastic, and what a great shot! Sorry you're in NY for such cold days, but hoping you got to see Central Park with snow, it's so pretty:-)

Team JGMTD:
Does anyone use the “sleep module” on iPhone Health, (partnered with Apple Watch)? If so, do you find it accurate? Pros? Cons? My “deep” sleep is negligible….

1/22: forgot to weigh yesterday, so going by previous day. We're in Lake Placid at a wonderful inn overlooking Mirror Lake, but it’s COLD: -8° F this morning; reached a high of about 6° yesterday. It's amazing to see all the Olympic facilities. We snowshoed for about 2 hours on an amazing groomed trail with a long, gradual climb- just perfect. A full day of exercise, so I'm really not surprised at a slight loss. Of course, it's the travel scale so it could be a little off...

Mantra this round: My body and mind are transforming to their healthiest forms.

1/21: DNW
1/22: 426

Day 2: Well that escalated. STRESSED. 😫 MICHAEL has passed. But, I am mentally and physically “wanting” to slip back into my old habits. It really upset me not going to graduation. Not that in and of itself. But all of it, you know? It’s like all of this phase of my life began to upset me. I ordered FF and ate terribly yesterday. Two FF meals and soda. No home cooked food. No water at all. ICK. I am full of sodium and extra calories! I hope not 8 lbs. worth though. I know not. Not even on an actual binge day. But it does mess with me mentally. Hmmmm. Reflecting back, I think I needed to phone a friend and really get those emotions out. That’s number one. Two, I think I’m trying to move too fast and trying to be “perfect” too. So, back to basics, taking it one step, one day at a time. Small bites out of it. Three, I’m going to try a more weight watchers approach where nothing is off limits as long as I track it. And…go!

Backstory

In 2022 I was around 157lbs with 24% bf. Was definitely in the “best shape” of my adult life then. Since then I started a new career working from home as a developer. Have moved away from my family for fiancés job. We’ve moved several times to various states in a short time span. So far we’ve moved 3 times, all about 9 months apart. Welcomed two puppies into the mix. Lots of changes. Lots of time spent at home. Lots of time spent away from family. Fell out of touch with friends. All of the adjustments and figuring out how to manage/handle more daily responsibilities and navigate through this phase of life has manifested into me gaining 20+lbs and losing a lot of willpower, motivation, drive, positivity, etc that I once thrived on. Found this challenge and it has been helping me get it back. Nothing is permanent! Looking forward to working through this.

Overall Goals and Challenges

Goals
1. Focusing on behavior and mindset. Calories have been going way over for so long I need to reel the behavior back in a healthy way.
2. Don’t give up on the day when it’s challenging. Choose to make good decisions in those moments instead of giving in.
Challenges
1. Working from home makes it easy to stress eat or just eat out of boredom/habit.
2. Sleeping less (have two puppies, a 8mo and a 1yr old) makes it hard to wake up early enough to get a good workout in or at least to feel good awaking up. Feel defeated in the motivation and drive department compared to how I was previously.

Daily, Small, Attainable Goals

1. Finish 1st 27oz water before 2pm
2. Finish 2nd 27oz water before bed
3. Alternate standing and sitting at desk every other hour during working hours (or stand at least half of the day).
4. Hit maintenance calories at a minimum.
5. -200 cal deficit on gym days
6. If I go over cals, try to cap it at +200

Gym: scheduled rest day

Wins: ended at maintenance cals yesterday.

Challenges: Yesterday I was getting sugar cravings immediately after eating throughout the day. I know this goes away the less you eat sugar. I managed to meet in the middle and ate snacks that satisfied the craving but also did not drop the ball. Ended at maintenance cals. Today’s challenge will probably be the same. Mid day work day struggle vibes. Wednesday is always my longest day of the week. Not starting work as early as I hoped but as I reminded myself yesterday, it IS possible to achieve my goals today. It IS possible to not drop the ball…

Ten Days Round 285

1/21 - I've made it to the next round without loosing the thread. For me that's an accomplishment in itself.

My goals for the round were already simple. Life this week boarders on overwhelming. Cutting back on simple is the easiest way for me to complete this round.

My 3 Daily Challenges:
- Weigh
- Record meals
- Post this challenge

Best Wishes to Everyone!]

Ended Round 284 at 151.2lbs, down 0.2lbs

Up a bit (0.4lbs), which is no surprise. I have been eating what's easy which tends to be inflammatory as well. As long as I tic these three boxes daily everything will fall back into place.

UTMom81 · January 22

@_JeffreyD_ That's a sobering scenario, isn't it. A man that did a lot of work for us around the house that we called a dear friend, was 47. He got the flu, then double pneumonia, then went on a ventilator and never came off of it. Happened just after Christmas. His son is a senior in high school! Such a tragedy. But it certainly does make you take stock of your life and try to live every day to its fullest. At least that's what it's done to me.

*New walking goal: 110 miles in January. May raise that in spring.

SW Rnd 285—153.4
1/21 153.4 New York City cost me 2.4 pounds, but it was worth every ounce! We had such a delightful time, and I felt great about the way I looked in the clothes I had purchased (or pulled out of my smaller clothes closet). THIS is the kind of “living” I’ve been working toward while losing weight. I was able to go hard all day with our son and oldest granddaughter (she’s 28), and thoroughly enjoyed all the activity. We did so much walking and were so tired when we hit the bed each night, but what an amazing city! Seeing Wicked on Broadway was…well, I truly don’t have words. I will include one picture here in which we weren’t bundled up in coats. This was taken at the Summit at One Vanderbilt, standing on a piece of glass, literally over the city. I ate WAY too many carbs, and it showed up on the scales this morning, but now I can work to get back on track and set a new “experiential” goal out there in the future. Today is my hubby’s 80th birthday, so it’s easy to feel like times like these might be limited. I’m so thankful we had this time together in celebration of his milestone birthday. Time to make the best of every single day!
1/22 151.2 There we go. Back to where I was before the trip. Very tired yesterday and this morning. Feel like I’m trying to get a chest thing again. Probably going to try to take it easy today. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll talk myself into going to the gym and getting on the treadmill with a little strength training worked in. Or maybe I join @jspecies11 at the mall for a walk!

Good luck when you run your half marathon! Hopefully you don’t have to run up any of those San Fran hills lol

Haha I think it's not too bad! It has a net elevation loss, with a loss of 279 and a gain of only 214, so a big section of downhill! Very generous of them! Thanks for the good luck wishes!

I have speedwork scheduled. I think I'm going to have to do it on the treadmill. It's still frigid today. I know I've said this before but signing up for a February race was not my wisest choice between the January illnesses and the cold weather leading up to it! There's a reason I couldn't find a local race in February! At least right now the forecast in SF is 55F at the 8am start time

That will be perfect. I also have a goal to track my food intake today. It's been a while since I have!

@lita_loses_it_all2 - So sorry you are struggling. <<BIG HUGS>>. Don't worry over a slip up and gaining. If you set yourself right, those pounds will go away in a day or two. Perfection is not needed but don't invite those pounds to stay! You've worked so hard.

Keep in mind that if hunger is not the problem, then food is not the solution.

itladyee · January 22

Hi, I'm Charissa.

Thank you, QuiltingJaine, for leading the charge in 2025!

So... I didn't finish 284 lower than what I started and I'm disappointed but I do have to give grace as there were a LOT of challenges thrown my way. But yes, I'm feeling a little defeated and this would be the time that I sort of forget to weigh for a few days...but I'm going to belly up to the scale and keep pushing through my choices good and bad. This is a life long journey!!!

Good Luck to everyone this round!

Q: What will be different in 2025 vs all the other times?
A: Change in my mindset
A: Being mindful and engaged
A: Addressing the elephant in the room!
A: No excuses
A: DETERMINED AND ENGAGED

Overall Goals for 2025
Lose weight in the kitchen ⚖️, get fit in the gym🏋🏾‍♀️

Note: These are pretty much my same goals from 2023 and 2024, I've made some great progress but now it's time to knock this list out! My goals are SMART - just not including all the details here:

Goal#1 - Calories - Aim and plan for 1200; allow 400 just in case for a total of 1600. **Eat well 🥗to Live Well 🚢✈️🧳
Goal#2 - Wine/Alcohol Reduction - 85% Dry January or better ** 🚫🍷 Alcohol kills weight loss as the focus is burning alcohol calories and not fat calories!
Goal #3 - Water - Minimum 50 ounces - Maximum 100 (only if consumed before 6pm) H2O - Make it Flow 💦💦💦
Goal #4 - Exercise - 6 days a week (Cardio, Core, Stretching, Strength Training) ~ 🏋🏾‍♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
Goal #5 - Self Care (Reading, Journaling, Monthly recap, Learning, Pampering)
Goal #6 - Organization and Declutter (Finish unpacking)
** To get to 100%

@reshii_devi ~ I didn't think I'd have to change the plan so quickly. Geez... ok, doing some mental work today and I'll be back on track!!!

@antiderivative ~ stay focused. Don't go off the deep end (like me)

@theslightedgeforever ~ I was right there with you (cycle).

@_jeffreyd_ ~ that is so sad...and by participating in the class, he was doing the right things. Reminds me of my sister who had a stroke while exercising at the YMCA! Prayers for his family.

@Chapter_3 ~ I use the sleep module in conjunction with other apps. I used to use Sleepwatch but the range for a sleep score was so large, the information wasn't meaningful. Now I use the sleep information from the Withings scale app. I think it pretty good. I get up at least twice to go to the bathroom and that's tracked. I also flip and flop a lot so it shows me as "awake" when I'm really just turning over. It usually shows me with 3 to 5 segments of deep sleep averaging about 60 minutes each night. I can really see the difference in my sleep if I've had alcohol.

I am sneezing today, so maybe I just ended to "feed" my cold...

1/21 - DNW
1/22 - 167.2 - There was a small threat of ice overnight and below-freezing temps so I decided to play it safe by skipping the gym. I will need to do some kind of workout at home today to make up for it. Three days of missed workouts (plus the 2 days of the weekend) is simply too long. I'm glad, though, since our driveway still had ice on it which means some of the roads likely did, too, and it's very dark out when I head to the gym so very little warning of road conditions as I drive. I really dislike being off my routine - Monday was a holiday so I had no routine. Yesterday, with no gym and BF being home from work, I spent the day in the living room with the fireplace going with him. I got work done, but I didn't get a makeup workout in. Fortunately, I was able to sneak out when the wind died down at the warmest part of the day, just before dinner, for a walk with the dogs. It had been 2 days without walks, we all needed it. Today I'm doing a bit better with routine since I woke up with BF and started on my water intake. I'm right on schedule for where I'd normally be on a workout day - I'm really trying hard. I managed to hit my goal of over 100oz but missed my overall goal of a gallon (128oz) by a good margin. Today will be better. Lunch and dinner has been logged. I have 12g protein (+/-10g) and 48g carbs (+/- 10g) left. I'm within my fat buffer but I have 0-12g left to stay within my buffer for snacks. I can do this!

Previous Day's Comments

1/21 - Snow day here in Texas - an area we don't typically get snow. BF's city office was closed so, despite the gym saying it was open, I decided not to risk it. I don't know if there's ice under the snow and with these hills and twisty-turn roads, I'm not willing to risk it. I slept on my shoulder wrong and can barely move my left arm and today was an upper day so it all works out well that I'd be missing the gym anyway to let my body rest and recover. Meals are prepped, fire in the fireplace. I'm working (WFH permanently) so after my meeting in a few minutes, I'll migrate to the living room to work with BF's company and a fire (: Sorry I missed the end of last round - I had forgotten our GodDaughter's Cheer Competition was this weekend so we were out of town. Her team, despite several absent members due to sickness, qualified to move forward in the competition!

Wed 86.9 my score is headed in the opposite direction, 98.4. I'm trying to not eat one particular food, I'll have it today and stop for as long as possible. I'm rating my eczema at 6.5/10. Let's see if that improves. My median weight for this round is 86.7 which is less than the last round.

@the_reflex I'm very curious about which particular food you are trying to avoid and if it's related to the eczema, weight loss or both. I'd love for you to share.

@Skyleen75 the struggle is real ....

@_JeffreyD_ Losing someone always reminds us of how fleeting and precious life can be, but we often forget and return to life as usual. After experiencing so much loss last year and breaking down in December, I’ve made Make Every Day Count! one of my daily mantras and really trying to do my best.

@lita_loses_it_all I can absolutely relate. Over the summer, I went into a tailspin, hit rock bottom, and regained 25 pounds in just a few months, completely overwhelmed by my emotions. It’s so easy to fall back into old habits when life gets heavy. But you’re already on the right track by reflecting and making a plan to reset. Reaching out, slowing down, and focusing on small, manageable steps is such a smart approach. And a flexible plan like Weight Watchers can really help ease the pressure and give you space to find your rhythm again. One baby step at a time you'll get there. {{{{hugggzzz}}}}

@itladyee sounds like it’s been a tough one, but the fact you’re already planning to refocus shows just how strong and resilient you are. Take a deep breath, be kind to yourself, and you’ll be back on track before you know it!

Day/Weight/Comment
ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 193.2

01/21-193.2-(Trend Weight: 192.9/b])- Well, I suppose I’ve got to start somewhere! Disappointed with my starting weight for sure but not discouraged. I’ve always got such a good plan in the morning and I usually pre-log all my anticipated food. I’ve just got to stick to it!!! It's -11 below zero actual right now and -28 below wind chill factor. Day 2 of schools being closed due to temps. Brrrr..... Maybe I'll shiver away some calories! Good luck this round everyone. Progress is within reach!

01/22-191.4-(Trend Weight: 192.9)- I’m surprised at the drop. Meals were good again but sneaking into the night time snacks is still happening and needs to stop. I have identified it as intense sugar cravings and emotional self-sabotage eating. I’m still going round & round with the old contractor. My only relief is that the new contractors are moving along very well though they do have many prior commitments that sometimes brings things to a stall. Weather is ridiculously cold here and they are dealing with helping multiple people or small companies with frozen pipes etc. Day 3 of no school here due to below zero temps. I have not been sleeping well or sleeping enough as the emotions affects that too. I feel like I’m just a mess. However, TMI cooperated so that explains the scale read this morning. Stay warm folks! And for those in warm temps, stay cool. Stay cool…..Hmmmm……That sounds like something I would have written in the 1970’s in a high school year book! I hope you older folks got a chuckle there!

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

Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

"Do or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

I need to STAY ENGAGED because I’m the DRIVER not the passenger in this life.

1/21 136.0 DH and I have been going to the gym together- 3 days a week - yesterday my legs were so sore I could hardly stand up. We aren’t doing anything crazy but I have hardly had any activity since covid. I’ve reinstated my eating plan and hope for some NEGATIVE progress (as in minus some ounces)!

@reshii_devi
I’m “drafting” your energy this round. ❤️”Mirror Moments” !!!
Whatever I’ve been doing since January 1 (so glad it’s recorded so I can go back and review) isn’t aligned with my vision, so during this cold spell I WILL regroup and adjust. “LOOKING 👀 in the mirror” is a win/win.
@itlaydee Thank you for “sleep” feedback. I’ve known for sometime that my sleep patterns are holding me back… If I can learn how to track trends vs choices the next day - I should be able to use it as a tool.
