JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 19

hjeppley · October 2017

@hammycakes I just have a Aria scale (from the Fitbit people). It is probably a good 5 years old. I don't think it is super accurate but at least it lets me know whether I am going in the right direction or not! Someday I'll invest in a scan. Just not yet.

tishawj · October 2017

Hello my dear friends! Here we go again! I think this is my round 18...believe I started in round 2. Weighing in daily has been instrumental in my success over the last 6 months, it's not all down...believe me!! I've had lots of fluctuations but don't let the daily (or even weekly) blips set me back...onward and downward!!

SW in March - 182.4
GW - to maintain between 145-150...but I want to hit 145 first

10/09 - 147.2 - coming in from round 18

Day/Weight/Comment
10/10 - 148.6 - weighed this morning but just getting online now to check in. Felt really puffy when I woke up...too much stuffing and turkey leftovers...and not enough water.

Currently doing 5:2

R13 SW - 71.2kg (157)
R14 SW - 71.5kg (157.6)
R15 SW - 72.2kg (159.2)
R16 SW - 72kg (158.7)
R17 SW - 70.6kg (155.6)
R18 SW - 71.1kg (156.8)
R19 SW - 71.3kg (157.2)

Goal - think I’m being too ambitious, didn’t think my goal was unrealistic but so many things popping up like holidays and work trips that are stuffing me around. There is either nothing or it pours with trips. So this round I’m going to aim to get in and stay at 70kg something and stick to 5:2 and overall weekly calories.

10/9 - 71.3kg (157.2)

11/9 - 70.3kg (155) - well that’s a good start. Now just to stay here. I had an alright day yesterday but wasn’t on a low cal aka starvation day so I’m a little surprised about this good result.

40lbslighter · October 2017

Seventh round with this glorious group of supportive peeps!

Been doing amazingly well. Taking note of daily fluctuations and watching the 10-day averages consistently decrease has really helped! (Decreases I might have otherwise missed by weighing weekly or irregularly.)

My recommendations for newbies: Keep your focus on the average over the 10 days. Don't let the daily fluctuations get you down. Instead, notice that everyone's weights go up and down and it can take a few days to see the results of good/bad behavior. Stay the course, gain from other's experiences, and ask for support when you need it!

WE CAN DO THIS!!!

I would love to join this challenge if it is OK? I am down almost 25 pounds since January 1st, but really want to get those last 18 pounds off!! My goal is to at least be in the 180s by January of 2018 (hopefully more than that, but I don't want to set my goals too high for fear of not reaching them).

11/10- 81.0- was expecting a bit of a bump today, but REALLY pleased that it was so small. Was a non-fast day yesterday and I usally overeat when I'm allowed to eat! But I stuck to my calories and it paid off. Lets do it again today.

@cjsacto I keep the post in a memo in my phone, and just update every day and then copy and paste it to this thread. Hoping this helps me keep a "journal" that I can look back on and see my progress. Journaling is so much better with support!

@2CuteCatsLavinia I just joined in the last challenge, but this has made all the difference for me so far. I'm so glad someone thought of this!

TerriRichardson112 · October 2017

I HAVE the power and determination to do this.

to all the Newbies, and Hi to those returning for another Round. This has got me back on track big time!

Observations, and Previous Rounds

Many events along the way will scupper our best intentions, but they merely delay the achievement of our goals. Life is for living, and one must learn patience. It takes many years to put on excess weight, so It follows that it takes much time to remove, but it is coming off, bit by stubborn bit! Stick with it! The game continues!

A lot of people get upset by apparent weight gain when they have been working their butts off. Body weight fluctuates, both up, and down, from one day to the next depending on so many factors. From my experience:

Changes often take several days to show on the scale.
A drop is often followed by a bounce up before it settles back down. A general downward trend is the aim.
A high sodium day usually results in a gain due to water retention, unless you drink extra fluids to flush it out.

Don't beat yourself up over a temporary gain. Trust the process and stick with the programme.
If you are making positive lifestyle changes it will lead to increased health and fitness.
Slow and steady leads to sustainable weight loss.
But remember to live a little along the way!

I'M BACK! I have lost 31 lbs so far, and I'm also really excited to see the 6 digit come into play sometime soon. I'm 171 lbs today.

BRING IT ON!

Start Weight: 202
Goal Weight this Round: 170
Ultimate Goal Weight: 125

10/10: Welp...I am at 172 today. I don't know why. I ate well. Stayed under calories actually. Walked quite a bit. Maybe it was due to water retention because I biked 6 miles. Idk. Hmmm....
10/11: I'm still at 172. I know I went over on my sodium, which is something I rarely ever do because I'm not a big salt person. I'll lose this pound eventually. I'm still at a 30 lb loss and am happy about that.

It is wonderful to see the positive comments and how everyone has lost weight in the challenges. It gives me hope and encouragement to remain motivated
Going to put my sneakers on and start moving!

The best way for me to stay motivated is by biking. It's exercise without feeling like exercise, and now, eating healthy is just a part of my everyday routine. The only downside for me has been the cost to do that. Groceries are insane when you want to eat right.

Goal: Continue to log all my food each day. Be under net calories each day.

10/10 - 260.0 - Yesterday I decided to give myself a cheat day. What a terrible, terrible idea. Not only did I gain (a lot! of) weight, but I was miserable. Bloating, indigestion, heartburn, listlessness. It's truly amazing how much my body has adjusted to my slowly eating better the past month or so. And to think that I used to feel like that EVERY DAY. The way I felt last night and this morning is enough to convince me not to eat like that again.

10/11 - 255.8 - I was not expecting to even get back to where I was, nonetheless to weigh less than that! I really focused on eating better yesterday. I was under my calories and I still exercised the same amount. I feel great today about my weight but also my body feels good! I'm not super bloated or have indigestion. It's amazing just how much eating junk DOES affect your body and how you don't even realize it when that's what you're used to. I'm so glad I'm on this journey - I am seeing now just how miserable I was because I'm not anymore!
