JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 15

I find it nearly impossible to send messages to people through these message boards. I keep getting "there is a problem with your post" type feedback or that the user name is not valid. For this reason, I am posting here the last message I tried to send. I'm extremely frustrated.

I saw you mentioned WW and that caught my eye. I lost 60# on WW in 2008-09 but when they decided fruit was "free" and my then leader said "no one EVER got fat from eating bananas," I started regaining. Maybe not bananas but fresh pineapple and watermelon did me in! Every change they have made since then has only irritated me further! And I have continued to gain. Let's do this together!

Last round’s “mid-weight” was a bit up because of a logging hiatus for 4 days but it ended at a new low so hoping for more normalcy this round and ending it nicely down in the 250s. Goal for this round is no drama! CICO!!
Round 8/1: HW 274.4 LW 269.8 MidW = 271.9
Round 9/2: HW 269.4 LW 266.8 MidW=268.1
Round 10/3: HW 269 LW 266.4 MidW = 267.7
Round 11/4: HW 267.4 LW 264.2 MidW = 265.8
Round 12/5: HW 264.8 LW 261.2 MidW = 263.0
Round 13/6: HW 263.8 LW 260.6 MidW = 262.2
Round 14/7: HW 266.4 LW 259.2 MidW = 262.8
8/31 359.4 -- How nice to start out a challenge in the 250s. The top of the 250s but I’ll take it!

Here's an easy way to deal with "finding" your previous day's posting. Don't bother. Instead, save a copy to a document either on your own computer or in the cloud. For example, mine is a Google doc. You can go into it first thing and write what you want to write on it for the new day. Then just block and paste it here. No sweat.
With having mine ready for me each morning, I can write my reflection for the day first thing. Then I boot up this challenge and read/respond to everybody else. When I get to the end, as here, I just paste mine. Easy peasy.
This idea isn't original to me. Someone else suggested it and, boy, were they ever right!!7 -
It's my first time - looks like a great way to stay motivated for 10 days at a time!
8/31 - 170.8 - goal weight is 145 ... but for this challenge I'd be HAPPY with 10 lbs lost

So the past two days I've been sick. Like so sick with some sort of flu or something. And I think I'm going to have to get some Pedilyte or something because I'm getting really dehydrated even though I'm chugging water. I haven't exercised and I've been eating healthy and hydrating foods. If this keeps up thru the weekend you best believe I'm going to the doctor. On the plus side, it might be why I've lost weight...

@natashabull1 How did you get that little graphic at the bottom of your post?
@laurielindly Do you knit or crochet? Something which occupies your hands can keep you from snacking and you could end up with a garment in the end!3 -

Julia, 10 pounds in 10 days is not really feasible or medically sound. You probably need to reevaluate your goals. I would hate to have you disappointed at the end of the 10 days.4 -

When he leaves, I leave for work. Any suggestions?
Can you do anything the expedite making lunches? Are the kiddos old enough to stay home for 30 minutes? Do you have a significant other that can help? They could do their homework on their own while you bike ride and then you could check it when you get home. I know how hard it is. I'm a working mom too. Most days when I get to bike it's after 7 when my little guy goes to bed. Sometimes my husband will take our nighttime routine so I can go out early.
Honestly, I am married, but I pretty much do everything on my own. My husband isn't very good at helping me with anything atm because he's to finishing his last year of college. I also have a child that requires some extra help with things. I thought about goiung walking during my lunch break or something. Lol4 -
Ok, let's do this! Had TOM last round and didn't end up meeting my goal. I'm gonna change that! It's such a small goal, I can do it!!!

I know you said your Husband is back in school, but I think it might be beneficial for you to see the equality between him doing something good for himself/family (education) and you doing something good for yourself/family (exercise). As well as him seeing it that way as well. Can he just hold down the fort for 30-45 min around 7pm and let you do something for you? Or if you can go after work immediately and just take an extra 30-45 min?2 -

Fruit is high in carbs. You can gain from eating too many carbs. The lower carb fruits are melon and berries. Just sharing.5 -

This is scary! I don't share my weight with anyone! But, I need to focus, so I'll join in!
I typically weigh myself every day (except when things aren't going well.)
I'm not sure what a reasonable goal is, I've never done a 10-day challenge. Instead of a weight goal, I will focus on actions:
Log food every day
Run 5 X's in 10 days
Do strength training 3X's in 10 days
10K steps each day
Good luck, everyone!

Hello everyone! I'm so happy to be part of these threads!!! Good luck to you all on this round!!! Happy losing!
My journey:
SW 200.6
GW 145
Aim: To never rise above 195 ever again!!!
Short-Term Goal weight: To be 188.0 by Oct 19th. (A special day).
R14 (1st round for me) lost 3lbs
I plan to do the same for this round. I will start with my last post from R14:
Day/Weight/Comment
8/31 - 193 I pay dearly for cheat days. Even if I don't do too badly, I'm bloated for 2-3 days. I'm so sad that I'm not likely to see the number I wanted for my Birthday because of 1 weak moment. But I'll keep being good and see what happens. At least I'm not too far off my goal for Sept.
