JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 18

tishawj · October 2017

Hello Friends! Here we go again!!

SW - March 2017 - 182.4
GW - to maintain between 145-150- will try to hit 145 before adjusting to maintenance calories

9/29 - 148.4 - coming in from round 17

Round 18 ends on Canadian Thanksgiving...so to be honest I'll be thrilled if I can keep it under 150 at the end of the round

9/30 - 148.8 - I feel super crappy today...headache, scratchy throat, ache everywhere...we'll see how the day goes, if I feel like eating it will probably be comfort food but I'll try to be good. I had a long trail run planned this morning but that's out the window now...my dog is super disappointed LOL
10/1 - 149.0 - Woke up feeling no better today...if not worse. Ate hardly anything yesterday but also hardly moved, I'm so stiff and achey. Not going to worry about the weight too much until I feel better, my body is going to hold onto stuff as it kicks this bug to the curb.
10/2 - 149.0 - Diagnosis in...Strep infection. Lets see what this prescription does to my body besides kill the germies...
10/3 - 148.0 - Amazing how quickly antibiotics start to work. Feeling significantly better but still pretty weak and run down. I thing I sweated out a pound of water over night though while the fever broke...I was drenched!!
10/4 - 147.2 - that's what happens when you hardly eat anything for almost 4 days. Feeling so much better this morning and I seem to have my appetite back so we'll see if I can make this stick as my bod wants to re-fuel and repair.
10/5 - 147.4 - Feeling well enough to get in to work for a client today...mostly a planning day so nothing too physical. Hope I'm feeling up to a few hikes/runs on the trails this weekend to ward off the Thanksgiving pounds...
10/6 - 146.8 - Surprised but pleased. We went out for dinner after "Meet the Teacher" at school last evening. Ate more than I should have but probably kept total in somewhere around maintenance. Looking forward to a Yummy Thanksgiving weekend.
10/7 146.6 - swear I posted this yesterday...must not have hit the green button
10/8 - 147.2 - more sugar carbs entered my body than normal yesterday with dessert prep for today. Looking forward to Turkey dinner tonight with the whole famjam. Not going to worry about calories, it's only one big meal and I'm going to enjoy it.

10/9 - 147.2 - apparently walking back and forth to the hockey rink twice and 8756 laps around my kitchen making dinner offset the extra food yesterday

Good 10 days except for the strep..

R18 Goal Weight - less than 106.5

9/30 106.5
10/1 106.9 - 1900 Calories!
10/2 106.4 - back to 1500 Calories and exercise
10/3 108.8 lbs What! So I have been limiting exercise to lose weight (yes that's right). Exercise increases my appetite. This week I am adding back lifting weights (which I love). The gain is not muscle (not yet) but more likely the water needed to increase my glycogen stores. My Calorie intake past 5 days = 1630. I should be able to recover if I stay consistent. Right?
10/4 107.8 - better but still over 1500 calories yesterday.
10/5 107.1 - 2000 Calories, and feeling it.
10/6 106.8 - 1400 Calories, feeling great

10/7 106.7 - 1500 Calories

10/8 107 - 1500 Calories: getting close to the end of this 10 day series and not meeting initial goal of < 106.5. Reviewed my year and can see a pattern of losing 1 lb and holding for 2 months and repeating. With an initial goal of 105 lbs by the end of this year, I'm right on track (if I stay the course). Still would be nice to end this series at 106.4

10/9 107 lbs yep - increased the exercise so kinda expecting it but was hoping that since Calories were controlled I could lose fat while gaining muscle and it's friends (glycogen and water). That's okay. At least I have more practice keeping Calories close to 1500!

Day/Weight/Comment

9/30- ?
10/1- ?
10/2 - 215.2. I expect weight to go down a couple pounds tomorrow, as I took this first weight after I ate a meal rather than in the morning like I usually do. :-) Hard day today, though - mild allergic reaction early in the day, and that always tends to make me space and flake out on my diet the rest of the day. :-/ Hoping that having this little challenge might help kickstart my brain into paying attention!

10/3 - 213.6 Allergic reaction still going on today. I'm using my recording of today's weight to remind myself not to flake on the diet like I did yesterday, and to try to keep things going well. And thoughts are with those from Puerto Rico, TX, Fl, and Las Vegas, or who have loved ones who were, or still are, there.

10/4 - 213.4 - Feeling hopeful, as this is the end of the day weight and yesterday was weighed before eating, so I feel like I’ve probably lost a bit more. I am feeling really hopeful right now about doing this. First time doing it, and today I totally screwed up on eating and calories. Still having feeling crummy during much of the day, totally didn’t pay attention to calories, and when I entered them in, I was really feeling low. But thinking of this challenge, and how much I wanted to do well in it, I got up and exercised away a lot of the excess calories. Usually my motivation is not enough to do that, so I’m feeling pretty great about it.

10/5 - 212.8 - still lower, so good start to the day!

10/6 - ?? - I seem to have missed a day somehow. ?_?

10/7 - 213.4 - didn’t do great today, sigh.

10/8- 214.8 - ugh, yesterday definitely shows today. But still a few days left, so maybe still time to bring it around.

10/9 - 213.4 - All I wanted was to lose at least one pound, and I did, so I am happy!!

RND 18 SW: 177 EW: 175.5 - Loss1.5
Goal this round: 175.6

9/30 - 176.8 - Off to a good start
10/1 - 175.5
10/2 - 177.3 - Higher salt yesterday
10/3 - 177
10/4 - 176.3 Happier about this number. I think the 175.5 earlier was dehydration.
10/5 - 177.3 - It's interesting to watch the pattern here. Yesterday was pizza for dinner which of course means salt. I'm not surprised to see the number rise. The last couple of days I have done a lot of walking, 3-4 miles a day, so I wonder if my muscles are holding onto some water too. Time will tell!

10/6 - 175.9
10/7 - 178 - Well, that is just out there. Can't think of a reason for this to be so high. I stayed within calories and ate well. Hoping it's a last ditch effort by my body to keep my weight the same and that there's a whoosh tomorrow.
10/8 - 175.2 Wow! Talk about all over the map here. The first time I stepped on it the scale actually said 175, but the next two times was 175.2, so I'll go with that.
10/9 - 175.5 - Just squeaked in on that one!

10/1 - 194.0
10/2 - 196.2 Oh look! I went on a trip and brought back my old friend - water retention!
10/3 - 194.4
10/4 - 193.8
10/5 - 192.9 Chipping away at the fluid and the weight. Bought ice cream yesterday because I went for a tooth cleaning and we all deserve something after that. Then I did not eat any ice cream because I liked where I was calorie wise for the day, and I was not hungry. WIN!
10/6 - 192.2 A lot of fruit and veg yesterday. Also the second half of a massaman curry. So much tastier on day two.
10/7 - 191.1 Nice number, but it goes up and down and up routinely. I have big peaks and valleys. But the overall trendline is down.

Wedding today - I may indulge.
10/8 - 191.8

10/9 - 191.4 Well, I'm happy with the round. Getting back on track to my pound a week.

See you in round 19!

PhedraJD · October 2017

I am in! So far I have lost 58 pounds, gained 14 back. Since June of 2016. I haven't given up yet, just finding it hard to stay on track. Hoping this will help keep me accountable.

10/3 203.8, 40 minute run, Lots of food, but under calories. Just saw that my weekly average has not gone down. But the scale is down from the beginning of the week. So I am taking it.
10/4 205.0 Did 50 minute run, Stayed in the green. Ended up caving and got lunch out/high sodium not enough water. Long day.
10/5 205.8 Had a bad day yesterday, was exhausted so slept half the day and ate all the salty food. Also forgot the meds, so some gain from that.
10/6 205.4 Did pretty good, Made it through pizza, did some roller skating. Awesome calorie burn. Was so busy didn’t have time for snacking at night. Just at work.
10/7

10/9 205.0 Had a busy food filled weekend. Did some great exercise though. Half a pound loss, not as good as I hoped, but not horrible.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/30 157 Come on whoosh!
10/1 157.5 WTH
10/2 156.5 Another tragedy in Las Vegas. Saturday night 4 teens walking on the sidewalk were mowed down by a car passing where there was no lane. Now at 59 dead and 527 injured on The Strip. Pray for Las Vegas.
10/3 157 I did not stress eat although I was pretty upset all day. DH reminded me that I wanted a Greek salad so I did not have to deal with fixing leftovers. Went to my fave Greek place, ate half of my salad w/gyro meat and 1/4 pita. Did not drink even half of my Daily water!
10/4 156.5 Played 2 games of bocce last night with DH, BFF, and her man-friend. Gentle activity but activity all the same!
10/5 155.5 Well hello again 155.5. I would love to meet your neighbors 154 and 153.
10/6 155.5 Okay Body, a little more please.
10/7 155.5 Okay, content to stay here for a bit. Lunch out with friends today. Keeping my fingers crossed!
10/8 155.5 I had the best and biggest "side salad" ever yesterday. I asked for that instead of fries and one of the other starchy sides. Beautiful, crisp, dark green lettuce, fresh red bell pepper strips, cool cucumber, and ripe red tomato slices. The pulled pork was "pre-sauced" so I got some sugar there but I left the bun on the plate. I didn't sleep worth beans last night! We'll see the final impact tomorrow or Tuesday but I feel great!!
10/9 155! Whoo hoo! Ready to start a new round! My macros were right on yesterday, calories over, not sure I drank enough water, and hardly moved at all. All that may come back to bite me in the butt! But I'm ready!!

@rtls Try going over your calories one day a week. I know back a decade or so there was a non-official "plan" on doing WW and changing up your points because your body gets used to the same thing all the time. Also, they stress eating ALL of your points, not eating below. Just a thought.

@SheilaBoneham I have requested one of your books from the library. Should have it in a few days. I love animals and mysteries!

10/7 255.8
Strength training- increased weights all round. It is always awesome to see NSV like this. Over calories by about 170 but still below maintenance calories.

10/8 no scale
I was running behind this morning. Some muscle soreness in my arms, shoulders and chest. I am considering the idea of challenging to myself to do 5 days of cardio instead of 3 next week. Goals met.

10/9 255.6
Yay, I lost 4.6 lbs this round. I suspect part of this loss is really some of the last round but the few days (maybe even week) before TOM I was retaining a lot of water weight. I am so happy to see my weight loss progress.

See everyone next round.

10/02 - 161.4 > 3 day weekend of camping fun... Maybe too much fun. Lots of long walks but maybe too many hot dogs and bacon. I'm pretty sure I'll be back on target again in the next few days.
10/03 - 160.2 I'm going to be a Nana today to a sweet baby girl!!
10/04 - 159.7 15,000+ steps, ate well but did have a small piece of cheesecake. SO got a call to go back to work this weekend

but it may be just a few days. Haven't seen the baby yet but they are all doing well.
10/05 - 157.6. Ok back on track. 18,000+ Steps And hit calorie goals. Get to see the baby tonight so I’m trading in my step count for snuggles.
10/06 - 159.4 Baby snuggles, low step count, and pizza for dinner and SO leaving for undetermind amout of time all contributed to the number. Baby is so tiny. Happy Nana here!! Weekend here soon goals to get lots of steps in and go for a run.

10/07 - 159.2
10/08 - 159.0
10/09 - 160.8 Here I am bouncing all over the place. Very tired these last few days not getting near enough sleep, my eyes are so puffy. Went on a hike with one of my boys it was a beautiful day with great ocean views. Nice long talk with my 20 yr old about life, plans, goals etc.... He's a good kid. Holiday dinner ate way too much and my tummy was suffering, I think I need to practice slower eating and pay more attention to my stomach on holidays, and the pre dinner hike was a fabulous idea!! See you all I hope for #19

Goals: Keep up my hydration levels on the 2 weekends during this round and stretch 8/10 days.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/30--223.9 Normal fluctuation. Went out for lunch yesterday. Goal for today is to continue drinking water.
10/1--225 WATER!!! Stretched today.
10/2--224.4 Was much better with my water yesterday.
10/3--223.9 Sick today. Trying to stay hydrated.
10/4--221.7 I'm not going to get too excited about this number. When I'm sick I lose my appetite and yesterday I barely ate.
10/5--221.7 Was still sick yesterday. Today feeling better and appetite is back, so we'll see how the scale reacts tomorrow.
10/6--222.4 Totally expected this bump.
10/7--223.5 Ok, back to normal. Today I am going to stay hydrated. I decided that on the weekends I would fill up a 1 gallon container with water in the morning, sit it on my kitchen counter, I don't like cold water, and make sure I drink the container throughout the day. Let's see if this works.
10/8--224.8 My poor body, still trying to get back to balance after barely eating and drinking for 2 days and recovering from a cold. I definitely drank more water yesterday than usual and today I've already finished W2D1 of C25K and my 1 hour tennis lesson.
10/9--224.4 While this round wasn't really valid in the tracking of my normal daily weight fluctuations, this round was very interesting to see how my body/weight reacts when I have a cold. Off to the next round.

9/30: oops. forgot.
10/1: 130
I literally have no clue what happened. It's not my TOM. I guess it's just a random fluctuation. Didn't eat super well yesterday because I got some bad story reviews (self medicating I guess). Maybe that plus stress was it.
10/2: 128.6
Stayed within calorie count and ate healthier, which definitely helped. Still a little stressed but it will get better. Started writing again today even though I didn't want to.
10/3: 127.4
I slept in this AM until 11. My hives are gone. I think those past few days of weight gain were stress related. I stood up in front of the group and read an excerpt from my piece out loud (the one that was getting bad reviews) and got my formal review today and it was approved! So I'm exhausted today and literally that is the only thing I can think of to explain the funky fluctuation in my weight.
10/4 no scale
10/5 no scale
10/6: 128.6
Honestly I can't believe I didn't gain all the weight back I've lost. My husband was in the hospital for a medical emergency and I was just eating what they had on hand for the past two days, cafeteria food and vending machine junk. Glad he's come home though and I'm back on track.
10/7: 129.8
10/8: 129.2
I literally have no clue what my AW will be at the end of this round.

Looks like I'm headed back on track. My husband went back to work today and I'm back to work/school as well. Meanwhile I still have one serving of mango sherbet calling my name for some time this week.

9/30 - 157.5lbs
10/1 - 158.9lbs. A family BBQ last night and TOM are against me today! I didn't drink all my water yesterday either. I feel getting in my water really helps!
10/2 - 158.8lbs
10/3 - 158.4lbs .... slooooowly going in the right direction!

10/4 - 157.1lbs ... I like what I see!
10/5 - 157.2lbs ... stayed within calories however yesterday’s drop may have been too much. It all evens out!
10/6 - 157.0lbs ... been under calories the last four days. I’m a little nervous as we have 2 Thanksgiving dinners this coming weekend! Hoping to make some good choices!
10/7 - 156.9lbs
10/8 - 157.8lbs ... yup, figured it would go up! Turkey, ham, all the fixin’s, wine and dessert...
10/9 - 158.7lbs ... well, this round was a bit of a bust! Thanksgiving weekend... one feast down another to go tonight! As much as I love Thanksgiving and have so much to be thankful for, I’ll be thankful when it’s over!

Looking forward to round 19...

9/30: 178.4
10/1: 178.6 yesterday was my maintenance day (1800 cals) so I knew the scale wouldn't be going anywhere today. Plus I had 2 glasses of wine. so goal today is drink extra water and go for a hike outside in our first nice weather of fall.
10/2 176.6 go scale go!
goal for today: write it then bite it. Drink ALL my water.
10/3 175.8 haven't seen this number in about 8 years, so pretty excited to be on track

goal for today: follow the plan.. drink water, drink tea, a bit of resistance training at the gym
10/4 175.4 !!

goal for today: stick to the plan!
10/5 175.0

goal for today: I'm road tripping with my family for the next few days. so I'm going to do a bit of prepping to take with me, mostly fruits and veggies. aiming for good choices on the road!
10/6 on the road: no data
10/7 on the road: no data
10/8 on the road: no data
10/9 177.8 this is not too bad, because I really watched my portions while we were out of of town. I did eat half a dessert once. But, I think it will mostly be gone by tomorrow, so while this number is higher than I had planned for in the beginning of this round, I will still consider it a success ~!

biketheworld · October 2017

Well...to say I've had a set back is an understatement. I did great while on vacation - it's been the two weeks that I've been back - I've been eating like a pig (and that's an insult to pigs everywhere!).

Good start, despite salty lunch out yesterday.

10-1 - 151
There's that sodium!

10-2 - 151.2
Up, down, up down... I've been way too hungry at 1500, so I've bumped my calorie goal back up to ~1700. I've been maintaining @ 1800-1900 for 6 months, so I should slowly lose at 1600-1700. I don't care about speed, as long as I'm moving in the right direction. And I'm not hangry!

10-3 - 151.2
I should be losing by all calculations, but I'm not. I've been hovering around 151 for months, eating anywhere from 1500-2000 calories. Doesn't make sense. Apparently my body thinks this is where it should be. Sigh.

10-4 - 151.2
Still here. Calories, exercise, macros all on point, so I duuno. Patience, I guess.

10-5 - 150.6
Finally! Jeesh! About time. :-)

10-6 - 150.8
That's fine - still under 151! Still hoping to get out of the 50's by the end of this round, but at least I'm moving in the right direction. Looking forward to meeting a long-time Facebook friend and her dogs today as they drive through. One of her Border Collies modeled for the cover of one of my mystery novels, and another inspired a scene in a later book. I've wanted to meet them for years! Then a long walk this evening. :-)

10-7 - 150.8
The scale isn't showing much, but something's happening. Yesterday I noticed that my pants looked baggy in pics my hubby took of me and my friend and her dogs -the belly looked especially "poochy." So I tried on the next size smaller, and voila! Comfy and look better. I wore the smaller ones before I did the metabolism reset, so I seem to be getting back to where I was when I started that almost a year ago. That's better than weight!

10-8 - 150.4
Progress! Maybe I've said faretheewell to the 51s. Today's plan - long walk and drink LOTS of water -- we went out for breakfast and I had French toast, bacon, 1 egg, so to counteract the sodium, I'm thinking gallons. ;-) Walking to the mall to get my hair cut, backpacking to Starbucks to write this afternoon.... Salad + salmon for late lunch, I think, and some fruit. I can still hit my calorie & macro goals.

10-9 - 150.4
Okay! Not into the 40's, but half a pound lower that at the start and moving in the right direction. See you at R19!

My first round

RW 18 SW 133.4 lbs
RW 18 GW 131.4 lbs
RW 18 EW 131 lbs

Lose 2 lbs at the end of this round.
132.6 lbs (9/27) lowest weight during this weight loss progress. But it’s been going up and down 1.5 lbs for a couple of days sadly. Need to see the 120’s again so bad! Seems so close... yet so far!!

9/30 - 133.4 lbs. Darn sodium. Did cardio for an hr. Felt like a cold is oncoming with severe headache. Ate dinner later than I usually do. Also ate a little over my goal but stayed within maintenance.

10/1 - 133.4 lbs. Did not workout because I was exhausted, so called it a rest day.

10/2 - 132.4 lbs. Yay! Finally a tiny bit of progress! It’s not much but I’ll take it. It is getting tiring, hovering over the same couple of lbs for more than a week now. I need to make sure I stop eating by 8 pm every night and get more protein. Plan is to workout today. Eating out for lunch, so will be ordering something healthy.

10/3 - 132.8 lbs. ugh!! There’s that sodium from the lunch yesterday I suppose. I had chicken and vegetables at a Thai place :-/ oh well. Stayed at a deficit with calories. Walked an hr. Yesterday, instead of the usual stationary bike. I have a cold and that is not helping my case. Really need to get on with my usual workout.

10/4 - 132 lbs. yay! Cardio for an hr. Yesterday and it was a good workout. Ate really well too. Hopefully I can keep the weight from going up anymore. We shall see.

10/5 - 131.6 lbs. An hr. of cardio and ate better Yesterday. Going out tonight so will try to make the best choices with food. Do not think will have time to work out today.. Boo!

Fingers crossed that I can keep the scale from going up!!!

10/6 - 131.4 lbs. eeeeek! Ate out tonight with friends. I did get an hr. of workout in yesterday, even though I thought I wouldn’t have time. Hit my goal of loosing 2 lbs for this challenge.

10/7 - 131.2 lbs. 45 min cardio yesterday and was ok with caloric intake. Given that we went out to three different places plus dessert. But very small portions for me to stay within at least maintenance. Most likely just dehydrated from last night and not an actual loss. I’m just hoping really hard it doesn’t go up too much. Weekends are hard!!

10/8 - 131 lbs. no workout yesterday but did a lot of walking and ate healthy, stayed less than goal.

10/9 - 131 lbs. Dinner at a friend’s house yesterday and ate moderately well. No exercise yesterday either

Not sleeping well at all. Not good for steadily loosing weight or to workout

hope I’ll be able to workout today.

See you all in the next round!!
