JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS: | Round 19 October 10 - October 19

Lets see what more we can do as we reach a total of 190 days consecutively!

Anyone else game?

@cyradra said
Let's give it our best 10 days ever! Autumn colour floods the countryside. The children are back in school, harvest season has blessed us with wonderful inexpensive vegetables. In Canada we will celebrate Thanksgiving during this round. Prayers to all in the hurricane belt, I'll be thinking and sending prayers and good thoughts.

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

On your mark

Round 19 starting weight 158.9
09/10- Happy Canadian thanksgiving weekend! Two main meals today, went a little under hydrated. Had a long dog walk, but it made me miss yoga.
10/10- 162.4. Under calories, trying to hit higher but I am nutritionally balanced.
11/10- 158.5 worked through lunch but ate a little. Work survey and a huge dog walk. Under protein macro. Still thirsty.

Feeling good, like the changes I've made are sustainable, but I'm nearing my typical low. I've been here probably 5 times (more?) in the last 25 years without ever getting to my goal weight, then gaining back. At this size, I'm still definitely overweight but I'm starting to like how I look and that can cause me to get overconfident and stop worrying about it. I've really got to keep my mindset going. I like the healthy food I'm eating, I'm not deprived, I like being active, I can keep doing this. Anyway, it's early but I'm on track for no added sugar today, good on water and calories, took a nice walk.

10/11 170.5
Three days in a row, this number still makes me happy. Good on water, calories, a little exercise, no added sugar. Looking back at my diary, I haven't gone over 1510 calories in 30 days.

Hi Joan - Your avatar caught my eye. I'm here every day cause it is easy to drop my weight number in. (Sometimes I don't have the mental energy for JFT thread.) Everyone is welcome.

Nice to see you here! I agree-- this is easy, so thought it would help me a lot, I usually weigh everyday anyhow. I usually post on thr JFT post in the evening-- just not enough time during the day,,

@joan6630 Lovely to see you here. Jump right in.

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!

Progressing again though I am still hungry all the time this week. Yesterday had an extra smoothie and some ice cream that I wasn't planning on. I think eating more carbs and eating too early in the morning is affecting my cravings. May try delaying "breakfast" and eating fewer carbs today.

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.

10/12: Well, the number 172 is really liking me. I also noticed a trend. One round I barely lose anything and usually do not reach my goal. The next round, I meet my goal and the last rounds goal. Interesting.

09/10 - 198.2 - I had a rough R18, my weight went up, I am still waiting on a physio appointment (which is likely to be next year) and I am in a lot of pain almost constantly, exercising is very difficult for me at the moment, walking and upper body strength / stretch is all I can manage, this 10 days I am cutting a further 200 calories from my daily goal to compensate for the lack of movement.

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.
10/11 - 147.6 - been tracking breakfast lunch and snacks to keep them in check and then eating a reasonable dinner, figure I'd try it for a bit to see if that's a good way for me to manage maintenance since I'm almost there.

10/12 - 146.4 - YAY....long weekend bloat is gone! Could tell this was going to happen by the trips to the bathroom yesterday LOL....

Back again! I started midway through Round 2 at 153.9 on 4/29. Ended Round 18 at 141.8. For this round I'd like to get below and stay below 140. Started at 162 something back in early March so I'm down over 20 pounds. I am aiming to reach goal of 132 before New Years.
10/9 141.8

10/10- 140.6 Gym and pool yesterday. Pool again today.
11/10- 141 .. Did pool class, ran around errands and went to movies late which equalled some - not a lot - of candy beyond when I usually stop eating. Didn't get much sleep. I'll be back down tomorrow.

12/10- 141.2 Slept a lot yesterday. Swollen lymph gland, blah humbug.

R19GW: 254.0

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!

10/12 - 255.2 - Wow. Yesterday was a real kick in the face. Found out that I didn't get the job that I endured 3 interviews for and had the person who DID get the job flaunt it. I was really, really down after that. I wanted to just eat a big, messy dinner of hot wings and french fries and ice cream. But I was good. I ate under my calories, I got over 10K steps, and I continued the 30 day workout I've been doing. I didn't sleep well, but that's to be expected. I woke up with a small weight loss. While I'm still pretty down about this missed opportunity, sticking to my better habits and seeing the pay off of that helps take the sting out a little bit.

Tonight we have an event at my child's school - dinner is provided. Not really sure how to plan my day because they change up the dinner option each month. I'm just going to try to eat the rest of the day how I have been and make sure to get all my steps before the event. That way, if it's something really high calorie, I'll be able to work it off when I get home

Not sure what weight goal I have except to NOT gain this round!:)
End of the year goal has always been 105 lbs.

10/10 107 lbs
10/11 106.5
10/12 106.2 - over Calories yesterday so seems false but wouldn't it be wonderful . . . won't it be wonderful when I land at 105 permanently.
