JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 21
Replies
-
I did really well for the first 7 days last round. But then my husband and I went on a 3 night vacation to Orlando and did not eat well... So I gained back 5lbs. It's crazy how quick that happens. I wish it was as easy to lose as it is to gain... But I have no excuse this round! I'm going to give it all I've got!
Starting weight: 217.3lbs
Goal Weight: 214lbs
10/30 - 217.3lbs - Thanks to eating poorly over the last few days. Today I have been 100% back on it so hopefully tomorrow will reflect that!
10/31 - 215.00lbs - Woo! I was on it yesterday! Plus, I went to the gym. Which I don't take the time to do very often. I'm trying to get better about that and build my strength up with weight training. Slowly but surely! Trying to be on it again today, so hopefully I can keep dropping the lbs I gained while on my vacation!
11/1 - 214.3lbs - Yes! I'm so relieved that my vacation weight is sliding off like this. I hope to keep it up! I did have a few mini pieces of candy last night while we handed it out to trick or treaters, but I kept it minimal and ate well the rest of the day.

I started my weight loss journey at 202lbs, but I started with this group back in Round 8. Then, I weighed 195 lbs, and as of today, in Round 21, I weigh 170. I also decided to take another step and joined another support group through MFP because with the holidays coming up, I fear that I am going to struggle to be mindful, exercise, and eat healthy. It's a competition where you join Team A (which wants to lose 15 lbs by January 4th) or Team B (which wants to lose 20 lbs by January 4th.) They do weigh ins on Monday's, and since I'm already weighing in for our amazing group here, and I need that extra accountability over the next few months, I joined Team A. If you find yourself in the same boat, it would be nice to see some familiar faces.
Last day to join is today. Here's to seeing and sticking in the 160s.

Hello my lovely daily check in friends!! Glad to be back and to see all of you regulars and all the new faces!!
SW - 182.4 - in March 2017
GW - 145- smashed this about 2 weeks ago. I'm currently trying to figure out my best calorie level to be able to maintain between 144 and 146. I'm pretty happy where I'm at weight wise and have some fitness goals I want to work on over the next 6 months or so. I dipped into the 143's last round...
10/29 - 145.6 - coming in from round 20. I've picked up a lovely fall head cold and haven't been moving much and not eating as well as I should.

10/30 - 147.0 - BLEH!!! Feeling super bloated today. Still really run down from the cold. Jacking up the vitamins and going to get lots of water in me today to flush this thing out!! To much to do this week.
10/31 - 146.8 - Over did it a little (ok...maybe a lot) with the Popcorners yesterday...salty and carby is not helping to get rid of this bloat.
11/1 - 146.6 - SLOWWWLLLYYY chipping this back off...going to keep the salt and carbs down today...I promise!!

I won't be able to stick to my food plan but I'm committed to making the best choices I can and getting steps and exercise in where I can. Wish me luck!
11/1 - day one of 5 with no scale *yikes* - did well food wise yesterday despite 6 hour road trip, but no exercise. Breakfast buffet at the hotel this morning was encouraging and allows me to follow my food plan for at least one meal a day...egg white omelet, turkey sausage and green tea!

10/30: 176.0 which considering how I ate yesterday is quite surprising in a good way. Plan for today: drink all the water and stick to the plan!
10/31: 175.2 Plan: just say NO to the Halloween candy! It's the same candy that's around all year long, just in a different wrapper. ( also: say no to the booze!)
11/1: 175.6 I stuck to the plan. No booze. I did eat 2 mini peppermint patties and they were worth it! Walked an extra mile too taking the kiddos out. I'm supposed to do my measurements today, but I'm feeling some hormonal bloat so gonna wait a few days for those. Plan for today: drink more water. Write it, then bite it.

10/31- 218.0 - still on the downward trend; feeling better today and ate a bit more. we'll see if it holds.
11/1 - 218.4 - a little but of a bounce. Not too bad for eating Chinese food for dinner and not accurately tracking it.

10/31 - 180.8 - I kinda sucked at eating well today. It started off great but then I ended up eating Halloween candy. I was still under calories but my sugar and carb intake was through the roof. And I didn't drink nearly as much water as I normally do. I'm expecting a gain when I step on the scale in the morning. Should only be temporary though!
11/1 - 179.8!! What?! Omg I am sooo happy to see the 170s! I hope it stays around.

Female, age 60, 5'4"
SW 195 [joined MFP Nov 2015, lost 9.5# & got serious Jan 2017]
1st Goal 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
2nd Goal 145 = normal BMI
UGW Range 140 - 145
I weigh first thing in the morning when I get up. My scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Comments reflect prior day.10/20/17: Oooh, I like this thread! I've been weighing myself daily since April, keeping track in MFP Food Notes, and logging my "official" weigh-ins on Saturdays. I've been amazed at how much my weight can fluctuate from day to day, depending on eating out or processed foods, adult beverages, net calories green or red, etc. Daily weigh-ins really help me see cause and effect with high sodium days, adult beverages, too much sugar, etc. I don't get freaked out as much by a jump on the scale now, since I know what I did to cause it, and what I can do to change it. My scale measures in 1/2 # increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.Round 20
10/20: 166.0
10/21: 166.5 After vacation day with hubby & eating out for lunch and supper, not so bad.
10/22: 167.0
10/23: 168.5 Ack! Sedentary day, pizza for supper & 3 days too little water.
10/24: 167.0 Drank 15c water and net calories (barely) green.
10/25: 166.0 Back to SW this round. Net calories green 35 & 12c water.
10/26: 166.0 A little surprised....happy hour after work with 1 pint beer, "healthier" pub food & popcorn for supper. Drank 14c water. Fitbit 14,674 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 hours & 40 floors.
10/27: 165.0 Fitbit 15,929 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom) & 38 floors. 14c water. Been low on fiber lately.

10/29: 166.5 Ate way over on carbs and every bite was delicious! I don't care, it was one day.
10/30: 166.0 Very sedentary day (church, visit parents & 3 hour round trip) following high carb day, no surprise. Fitbit 3,888 steps, 250+ steps 5/14 hours & 7 floors. At least I drank 12c water.

If anyone wants an example of the impact of sodium and water weight, here it is! In 12 days of traveling and eating out, I put on over 10 pounds. In the 11 days I’ve been home, I dropped it back off! Back to the inexorable trudge toward being simply overweight rather than obese! And finally on to a normal BMI!

@SheilaBoneham I think you made a remark in one of the earlier rounds about writing so I checked the library website and requested it. It arrived 2 days before our cruise so the timing was perfect!! I’ll definitely be reading the rest of the series.
@40lbslighter There was a community party last night at our Clubhouse. 83 people had signed up but since we were gone last week we didn’t. I think we would have to hand out little bottles of wine or other alcohol! LOL
@susanbenita Hang in there! This too shall pass!
@rtls Create the habit - wake up, hit the bathroom (pee) and get on the scale.
@candchughes I wondered about that but figured it wasn’t PC to ask.

I've decided that I am going to eat at maintenance for 2/7 days a week, which is why I am going to start using my average weight. Want to offset hormonal changes that occur when losing weight for extended periods of time that can make it harder to lose and maintain weight and hoping to elevate potential emotional stress of constantly being in a deficit. Last weekend was my first time intentionally eating at maintenance and not only did my weight basically stay the same, which it should, but I didn't realize how hard it is and how hard it probably will be when I do reach maintenance mode. Let' see how this works.
Day/Weight/Comment
10/30-222.4 Weight basically the same from Friday even though I ate at maintenance this weekend.
10/31--222.6 Did not drink enough water yesterday. Finished W3D2 of C25K and stretched.
11/1--222.0 Did not drink enough water again yesterday. I'm not sure how accurate this weight is today. The first time I stepped on the scale my weight showed up as much lower, so I weighed myself 2 more times and decided to log the middle weight. I will take it as a positive that the highest weight was still less than yesterday's weight.

It's about the daily seemingly unimportant decisions. But consistently making them everyday is what leads to results. I love the way I feel at night & the next morning after having stayed on track.
