JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 20

archersport · October 2017

R19 SW 158.9
R20 SW 156.2 (in my birthday suit this round!)
Pregnant & gaining average 1lb per week. Goals: hydration, vitamins, balanced macros, toning exercise daily.

10/20 157.9 lunch courtesy of the office meant unhealthy pub options, but I finally nailed my macros and had a good calorie count. Very bloated & even more thirsty than last week.
10/21 158.2 big lunch big dinner; still under calories. So many leaves raked - and I bet it'll be windy tonight.
10/22 161.7 A 'rest' day just with housework and dog walking.
10/23 160.1 There should be a calorie count for washing a large dog. First prenatal yoga. Managed to hit high protein without even trying- pinto beans. Wow.
10/24 160.1 twice I ate past the point of being full on purpose, my stomach is so much smaller these days, even though my uterus is still tiny! Weirdly opposite of what I expected aaannnd still under calories. Maybe the guts get backed up. Two quick walks to the mechanic and a regular pitch-black (read: slow as all hell) walk with the dog really gave me surprisingly high activity minutes.
10/25 traveling, not very active.

10/20 133.5 - stayed on track yesterday. Gotta stay the course

10/21 132.5 - not what I expected... DD came home from college yesterday, so made a nice lasagna dinner with apple cake for dessert... and I ate over my calorie count. Probably won’t hold, but that’s why I’m doing this
10/22 132.5 - I’m finding this group activity motivating! Knowing I was going to report my weight today kept the late night munching away
10/23 134 - what the...? probably the yummy pho I ate for lunch had high sodium - I stayed close on my calorie goal and even did some running.
10/24 134 - hmmm
10/25 133 - finally! Sticking with the program is paying off!

R20 SW - 194.6

My goal for R18 -- R19 R20 is for my avg weight to be under 14 stone (196 lbs)

UGW 140

19/10 - 194.6 - R 19 was better than round 18 but I am still chasing my lowest weight to date( 193.2 lbs) it would be nice to see that number appearing this round. I am still eating lower calories due to sciatica pain limiting my movement, but I am also managing to exercise more now that I was in the previous rounds.

20/10 - 194.8 - a great start, I was scared this was going to jump up to 197 again! .. oh for a round I don't see that number or above!
21/10 - 195.2 - still happy with this, had a drink last night so my cals were higher but still within budget, still drinking my water mon-Fri - I will be happy this round if I do not see 197 or above!! and ecstatic if I don't see 196 or above
22/10 - 195.4 - still happy here .. but seriously hoping it doesn't keep ticking up by 0.2 lbs a day :-/
23/10 - 194.4 - drinking water and still under calories
24/10 - 194.2 - now I am perfectly happy with it ticking down 0.2 a day

25/10 - 195.0 - under cals and still drinking my water from Mon - Fri
26/10 - 193.8 - <<< nice to see this this morning, but I am still 0.6 lbs from my lowest!

Ummm so I just did the maths and if I stick with a 0.8kg loss per 10 day challenge, I can hit my goal weight by Christmas Day! I've been on MFP for 4 years and am yet to get to goal. This is amazing guys!

10/20 - 65.8kg - Ate at maintenance yesterday and needed a heavier carb day but am happy to see the bump up was quite small. I still don't trust that I'm in the 65s! Girls night tonight so expecting to be up tomorrow!
10/21 - 66.6kg - as expected!
10/22 - 66.6kg - it's been a mental weekend. Working til 11pm both nights. Not a spare second to myself. Need to go grocery shopping and make some time for exercise tomorrow.
10/23 - 67.5kg - groceries done, lots of health food and no excuses. Glad to be back into a more normal routine. Not sure I'll make goal but would like to see my start weight for the round again.
10/24 - 66.4kg - Only half a kilo until I'm back at my start weight for this round. Low cals and lots of water to make up for the weekend. It would be nice to not be battling against my weekends constantly. I see a frustrating pattern here!
10/25 - 65.5kg - Dinner tonight with the in-laws so am doing some pre-damage control with a run and a light lunch. Intermittent fasting seems to be my friend just now, as does drinking lots of water. Have not exercised once this round so would like to get out there tonight, not for the scale but for my own health and happiness!
10/26 - 65.1kg - C'mon mini-goal!! Within cals, low carbs, lots of water. Finally got to the gym this morning. Going to make plans to get through the two parties I have this weekend without the bump back up in weight. Advice welcome, PM me!

Enjoy the party but be conscience of your food choices. Try to stick with the healthier foods if it helps you. Once you start making those choices everywhere you go, it becomes second nature.

Day/Weight/Comment

10/20: 160.2 Happy for my 3rd day at 160.x! I am hoping that I can leave the 160's behind over the next 10 days!

10/21: 160.4 I was sooooo hungry last night even though I had a nice filling dinner. I had some extra calories and let myself have a few small snacks. Still woke up with a growling and very hungry stomach this morning! Very busy day today, 2 kid birthday parties today with pizza and cake. My plan is to skip pizza (probably chain pizza that really isn't that good) and consider cake once if it looks worth it.

10/22: 160.2 I'm posting later in the day but weight was done this morning like always. Very active day today! W4d1 of C25K, completely cleaning out chicken coop, and hauling lots wood. 21,000 steps and the day is not over yet. I will definitely have water retention tomorrow. My muscles are hurting big time! Plus I will be enjoying some beers during the Pats game tonight. Go Pats!!

10/23: 162.0 I knew I would be up today. Just hoping it goes back down fast!

10/24: 161.8 I expected to be down more today. Ate under calories, limited sodium, and drank a good amount of water. Continued focus today!

10/25: 160.8 slow and steady release of extra fluid. Hoping to finally get below 160 soon. Keeping a deficit daily so it has to at some point!

10/26: 159.4 Finally!! Now to stay below 160!

I don't even know how you get that many steps in on a regular basis. It's so hard for me to reach my goal. So KUDOS to you for the 7000+.

Thanks! I get 4000 steps just from walking to and from the subway during my daily commute and I'm always walking around the building for work. If I drove to work, the steps would be so hard for me to get in.

I know how you feel about battling the same couple of pounds. I was in that battle when I was in the 180s. It took a while but I finally got over the hump and looks like you're about to too!

I don't live anywhere that I could walk to work because I live in a rural area, so thats a good idea that you do that. I do spend my entire day walking and going up and downstairs when I am there at work though. It's Fall Break this week, so I've been relaxing a bit more than usual. The 180s gave me a fit too but nothing like this. So did the 190s and 200s. Whenever I hit a 10 lb drop and am trying to break through to a new digit, it doesn't want to shed off at all.

Congratulations to you for making it over that hump. I hope that I soon follow your lead. Lol

I wish I could help, but I am only perimenopausal and that's early for me. I do know that I had an ablation done several years ago, and I have all the symptoms without the actual cycle. I know my Mother is going through it now, and she will go multiple months without it. Then, she feels sick to her stomach and has cramps and things.

176.6 SW for round 20 challenge
172.6 CGW

4 pound goal for 10 days may be lofty, but I have a 15K race tomorrow and a half marathon next Saturday so lots of calorie burning this next week.

10/20 - 176.6

10/21 - 177.0 - well fire, that's no good! Ran a 15K trail run today so hopefully I'll see good stuff in the a.m.

10/22 - 176.0 - Now that's what I'm talkin about!

10/23 - 175.8 - super thrilled with that number. It's not much down but what a huge boost for my mindset. Yesterday was a complete rest day after my race on Saturday so I was LAZY!. Watched my intake and drank some water but certainly not enough. Now I'm off to the gym to lift and cardio.

10/24 - 175.4 - Moving on down. Drank lots of water yesterday and added the stair master into my workout. Can I just say, I feel like someone beat the fire out of me! Only way to get over that is get back to it today. 5 mile run, lifting for upper body and abs.....and yes more of the stairs.

10/25 - 174.4 - I like it. Hard work pays off. Got all my water in too.

10/26 - 173.2 - This drop is NOT due to any hard work on my part. Had terrible upper stomach pains and nausea yesterday so stuck with crackers, water, rest and no exercise. Better this morning and have to get out and run a couple of miles today for my final run before my half marathon Saturday. We will see what the scale brings tomorrow.

10/20 - 250.2 - So close to be in the 240s! Tomorrow is my birthday, here's to hoping that I give myself that as a birthday present

10/21 - 249.2 - Well, I gave myself a good birthday present. But it came at a cost. I was up all night with stomach issues. Here's to hoping today is better than last night!
10/22 - 251.8 - I took a day off from tracking, exercising, and eating well. Emotionally, I needed a break from the stress. No surprise on the scale. Tomorrow will be better, I'm back on track today

10/23 - 250.0 - Almost back in the 240s. Soon.
10/24 - 253.6 - Bleh. I was good for half the day yesterday. And then I wasn't. I need to get out of this funk.
10/25 - 252.4 - Crazy day at work, but night. I need to get out of this funk but I'm pretty sure work stress is what's causing it. Not really sure how to eliminate that...
10/26 - 250.2 - Had delicious eggs for dinner last night. I feel like I'm starting to get back to it, hoping that my resolve continues.

10/23 - 153.6 - I have a severe allergy to ragweed and it's been kicking my butt the last two weeks. I allowed myself to rest when I wasn't feeling well, but this weekend I started feeling a bit better and upped my program. Lots of exercise, lots of water, under calories. Seems to be paying off for now.
10/24 - 154.2 - this allergy situation is out of control....I have never had this many problems. I'm just exhausted all the time...had the luxury of sleeping 10+ hours over the weekend, but back to work yesterday and back to struggling to drag my butt around. No exercise yesterday but stuck to my food plan + 1 protein bar but still under calories. I've just started a course of steroid treatment so don't know what that will do to the scale or how I feel but I'm ready to try anything.
10/25 - 153.6 - no exercise again yesterday, but stuck with food plan. Feel slightly better this morning so I'm going to try to get the elliptical in.
10/26 - 152.6 - Well isn't that nice! Stuck to food plan and got 45 min of elliptical in yesterday, but that's an awfully big loss for one day...we'll see if it sticks.

Current Weight: 216lbs
Goal Weight: 165lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
10/20 - 214.3lbs - a better start than I was expecting, to be honest! I ate mostly well and was under my daily count by 240calories, but I had some bread last night with the stew my dad made when he came to visit and was worried my body might not have loved that. I'm happy to be at 214lbs, since that was my pre-pregnancy weight! My son is 11 months old but it's been a journey to shed that weight!

10/21 - 214.6lbs - Okay, I'm not really surprised by this. With my dad visiting for a few dats, we tend to eat out more than usual. I had a grilled chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and a few bites of fried mushrooms that the table got for an appetizer. That's okay though. I just have to try to be more consistent.

10/22 - 213.2lbs - I'm so thrilled to see this. My whole issue with health has been bad decision making. Before, I'd be motivated for a short periods of time and then I'd get bored and eat my emotions by getting a box of some cheese snack mix. But I'm really trying to focus in on my decision making and yesterday at lunch tested that. My dad wanted to go to a wings place where everything on the menu is high in calories. Even their salads were 1000+ calories. But I didn't just get whatever I wanted. I studied the menu and added calories to make a better choice. And it paid off.

10/23 -214.3lbs - Darn. I trird to make good decisions, but my dad wanted to go out to lunch again. I got a salad and sweet potato fries, but I tried a piece if his pizza. And for dinner, my son stayed up late so I wasn't able to sit down and eat until 10. I HATE eating that late. I should have just gone to bed instead of eating! Gotta keep working on consistent better choices. My dad is leaving today, so no eating out!

10/24 - 213.4lbs - yay! Yesterday, I was on top of my food and water intake. I take a 30oz bottle of water with me to work and go home on lunch and refill it so I make sure that I get 60oz during the work day. I didn't eat out. Everything I did at home and I had dinner at 6 rather than 10. Tomorrow we're leaving at 4pm to head to Orlando, so I'll have to really focus on making good choices. It's hard to eat that great when you're at a theme park! But I can at least say I'll get a tooon of steps Thursday and Friday. We went two years ago and I had 35,000 steps in one day. Much more than my usual 6k on a work day.

10/25 - 212.8lbs - ...Wow. I'll be totally honest with you guys (though a large part of me would rather not admit my bad choice), I did not expect a loss. I was under my calorie goals, but I did binge eat cheezits after dinner... I think my issue is that I was depriving myself a little too much. I need to work on creating more balanced meals so I don't get that urge to go stuff my face with something only briefly satisfying. I am thankful that I still lost weight, but that's not the way I want to do it. Today we leave for Orlando, so I don't think I'll have a scale to check in on until Saturday, but I will continue to check in with my calorie and decision making! Gotta hold myself accountable!

10/26 - No scale - I was fairly on top of everything yesterday. I drank 108oz of water. I did have a late night snack of popcorn after we got to our hotel room. But we're about to get up and head to the theme park so I'll get plenty of steps in!

My period is nearing its end, so some of that bloating should be going away. Also took 2 days off the workouts to deal with the soreness/bloating. Will get back into that today so may have that again. Lots of variables so just gotta focus on the day to day decisions and make sure that I'm remaining consistent and focused even as the weight bounces around.

10/20-191.8 I am really enjoying this downward trend. Everyday I expect it to level out and every day I am surprised! This means I've lost almost 16lbs total! I'm so thankful for this group and the daily accountability.

10/21-191.6 TOM finally arrived even though I was expecting it a week ago. Likely explains the quick decrease over the last couple days.
10/22 -191.8 - Exepected. Chinese buffet last night. I love dumplings... That is all...haha
10/23-192.0 - boo! Weekend fluctuations I guess. Happy Monday!
10/24- 191.8... it's really hanging in there. Really hoping to hit my goal this round.
10/25- 189.8 - YAY!! I hope I can keep it here for a bit! Goodbye 190's!!

10/20 What an awful start to the day. I woke up late and completely forgot to weigh. Then there was a train so I had to go around that. Got back on track and then there was a bad wreck (not me) about a mile from work. Somehow I managed to get to work on time.
10/21 180.2 yippee! Hopefully it won't be such a roller coaster this time. Going shopping with my mom today. Most of my pants and a lot of tops don't fit anymore.
10/22 Didn't weigh - honestly didn't even think about it. Yesterday, my mom and I went shopping and we got several things - 2 pairs of pants, 2 tops and 4 skirts. We were going to do more but instead adopted a dog for her and my dad! So cute. I hope he works out for them. My mom has lots of back and leg issues from a car wreck years ago and my dad has Parkinson's. Their dog passed away from bladder cancer 1 1/2 years ago and it was time for them to get a companion.
10/23 181.8 not too bad but up again. Mondays always seem to be the worst days to weigh. I don't drink water like I should and eat too much over the weekend. When I'm at work, I eat sensibly (usually) and drink 60-80 oz of water (I know some people say that doesn't matter, but to me it does). On the weekends, I drink lots of coffee and diet Pepsi and, well, eat too much. I know this is something I need to work on. I want to see the 170s so bad! I haven't weighed less than 180ish in years!
10/24 183.0 I am getting a bit frustrated. I am logging everything I eat and drink. I am very rarely over calories so I don't understand. However, a work friend (who is a larger lady) told me today that if I get any skinnier that we couldn't be friends anymore

She was completely kidding of course, but she said that I looked like I'd lost weight just since yesterday. I know the scale isn't the only indicator of weight loss but it's the most obvious (at least to me). I'll have to take some measurements tomorrow morning, if I remember, and see if I've lost some inches. Onward and downward!!
10/25 182.8 maybe, just maybe. I've been drinking lots of water, as usual, and was under my calorie goal for the day. Got home @ 8:20 last night and didn't want to make dinner, but I had been planning all day to make a "stir fry" with chicken breast, rice, broccoli and cauliflower. So I did. And it turned out wonderful. Only 890 calories for the whole thing and I ate half. I brought the rest for lunch today.

10/23 - 222.0 - weekend bloat. I over did it on sodium rich food bc we were out of town and I didn't exercise. Hopefully I can get it down in a day or two.
10/24 - 221.6 - working my way back down. Really need to focus on ny water intake.
10/25 - 220.2 - goal in sight! have skipped the gym the last two nights because I've been really tired, but I'm watching my calories intently
10/26 - 219.6 - Happy with this. Hoping I can keep it here or even go under over the next couple of days

10/20 175.4 the scale has kind of been stuck since about Oct. 3 so I'm trying to be patient.
10/21 175.0 still sitting here
10/22 177.4 ?
10/23 177.6
well, I'm confused. All I can think is that I'm holding a bunch of water for some reason. Expecting a good loss one day this week.
Plan for today: write it, then bite it! Stick with the plan and drink 64 oz water.
10/24 176.6 ugh

10/25 175.0 again. Glad to see it! hope tomorrow to get past it though! I was so hungry yesterday, I made hot tea in between meals and also some Golden Milk (turmeric, 2 oz almond milk, hot water, cinnamon) in the blender to keep me going.

10/26 174.6 Finally, a drop! I've been sticking pretty close to the plan.. hope it keeps rolling!

10/26 - 185.6 New low!! Drinking water instead of alcohol, who'd have thought?.. Actually, I knew and I record all the alcohol I drink, even though I come in at a deficit it just seems to stop my weight loss in it's tracks. I have more demons to conquer than just my weight. Lesson learned.

I have the same problem. I read somewhere (I'll try to find the source) that when you drink alcohol it essentially stops fat loss for the time period it takes your body to process the alcohol, because it's more important to neutralize the toxins then it is to process fat. I can't remember if there was a legit study to back it up, but it makes sense to me that your body can only deal with so much at a time..

edit: not the article I was thinking of but still some supportive evidence
