JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 24
Replies
-
My goal is to reach 10% body fat by year end... actually by 12/30 because that is when my Dexa is scheduled. I'm going to list weight and BF% based on my scale, which is going to fluctuate at times as diet changes. On some days - and I know when those are based on diet - it will be inaccurate.
Round 22:Day - Weight - BF% - Comment
11/9 - 149.6 lbs. - 16.8% - scale is reading higher than actual BF%
11/10 - 148.4 lbs. - 15.9% - scale is still higher than actual BF%, but getting closer to actual
11/11 - 147.2 lbs. - 16.9% - scale is higher than actual BF%, this time not expected
11/12 - 148.6 - 16.8% - scale is still showing higher than actual BF%, still not entirely expected. I have a theory as to what is driving the incorrectly high BF%.
11/13 - 148.6 lbs. - 18.5% - Yesterday was a re-feed / glycogen replenishment day. I'm surprised weight did not also increase, but expected BF% to be unreliable. I expect it to remain that way for the next 2-3 days.
11/14 - 147.2 lbs. - 16.4% - Depending on whether I eat a lot of fibrous green vegetables today, BF% will either stay pretty stable by tomorrow morning or will decrease. I may find it hard to feel full without lettuce or green beans... but since scale BF% is just artificially high if I eat them and real BF% is not truly much different, I'm probably going to eat greens if I'm hungry anyway.
11/15 - 146.4 - 15.6% - No veg yesterday, scale is closer to a correct BF%.
11/16 - 146.2 lbs. - 14.9% - No veg yesterday again, and BF% is almost right where I would expect Dexa to come up. The idea that eating low carb green / fibrous veggies would affect the scale BF% so much is a relatively new revelation. Thinking back, the last Dexa was 0.3% lower than the scale on that same day (that is extremely close); and my scale is ALWAYS higher than any other measurement method or device - including other bio-electric impedance devices, which are always super low. When that last Dexa was taken and it was almost the same as the scale, I had not eaten plants for 45 days prior (except coffee, tea, and small quantities of seasonings and sauces). I still plan to eat some low carb (net carb) fibrous veggies while I continue to strive for 10% BF by 12/30, but will do take breaks occasionally to get a better idea of where Dexa will come in.
11/17 - 147.8 lbs. - 13.9% - Slight weight increase, not sure why... probably water weight. Another day without veg and BF% is spot on as close as I'm going to get to being real. Tomorrow is going to be high again based on today's planned diet.
11/18- 146.0 lbs. - 15.4% - Did not expect weight to decrease, but expected reported BF% to rise.
Round 23:Day - Weight - BF% - Comment
11/19 - 145.8 lbs. - 13.5% - Did not expect BF% to drop this much this fast.
11/20 - 147.6 lbs. - 16.2% - Both increases were expected based on yesterday's food plan. Should see decrease over the next few days until Fri. morning, which will go back up again.
11/21 - 147.0 lbs. - 15.7% - Expected a small decrease. Expect another small decrease tomorrow.
11/22 - 146.6 lbs. - 15.3%
11/23 - 145.6 lbs. - 14.8% - Will be higher tomorrow.
11/24 - 147.2 lbs. - 14.4% - Did not expect BF to decrease, but maybe that is delayed...
11/25 - 145.8 lbs. - 15.2% - There is the delayed fat storage.
11/26 - 145.2 lbs. - 15.7% - Did not expect another rise in BF%, but I can only assume it is continued delayed fat build. Tomorrow will be higher probably of both weight and BF.
11/27 - 146.4 lbs. - 17.0% - Increases expected.
11/28 - 150.4 lbs. - 14.6% - Had a spontaneous free meal yesterday and paying for it with weight gain - meal itself was probably around 4-5 lbs., including water in food... so this is about right.
11/29 - 149.4 lbs. - 14.9% - For this round, I'm going to make a few changes. I'm not sure exactly what to expect at the beginning, but should have lower BF% by the end of the 10 days.
11/30 - 146.2 lbs. - 14.9%
12/1 - 144.4 lbs. - 14.7%
12/2 - 144.8 lbs. - 13.3% - I'm thinking this is about right again for BF%, but let's see if that holds for the next few days without changes that affect the scale calculation.
12/3 - 142.2 lbs. - 16.1% - BF definitely reading too high, but not sure why this time.

11/29 - 140.0 - up a squidge, got ambushed by work on an already busy day yesterday: got stressed, no workout, ate 600 extra calories ABOVE MAINTENANCE at the end of the day. Working on being really sensible and sneaking in some extra calorie burning (stairs at work!) today.
11/30 - 139.4 - another tough day yesterday. No workout, to bed early, planning to get my mojo back on today.
12/1 - 138.6 - lowest in over a year! Under calories yesterday and 40 minute workout, elliptical plus stairclimber. Sweating helps my emotional state SO MUCH.
12/2 - 138.8 - under calories and ran 34 minutes yesterday. Think I am dehydrated, drink drink drink!

Greetings wonderful people!! Here we all are again! Welcome new friends...you're going to love it here, it's an awesome group, I wouldn't be where I am with my fitness goals without it.
SW - 182.4 - March 2017
GW - SMASHED it in October and now I'm working on maintaining under 145
11/28 - 146.2 - I had a major sodium and muscle repair water weight jump to end round 23...rolling 7day average from my Garmin app was 143.5
Day/Weight/Comment
11/29 - 144.0 - Coming back down. Ate and hydrated well yesterday but was still really tight in my legs from that brutal workout on the weekend. Finally feeling back to normal today so might see how the trails in the bluffs are after this warm snap and take the dog for a run this morning.
11/30 - 142.8 - And it's back where it should be. So crazy how the scale weight can fluctuate so much when all I did was change how much sodium I consumed and did too many lunges.
12/01 - 141.2 - I keep settling back here even though I'm not trying to get this low. Ate around maintenance yesterday...or so I thought...pizza and beer helped get the kcals up.
12/02 - 142.8 - back at this number...that's ok!
12/03 - 143.2 - didn't get much water in yesterday.

Back for another round. I haven't ever set a number goal since I started these 10-day challenges, but to keep me in check, I am hoping reach 160 this round. Ultimate goal is to be in the 150s going into the New Year!
Now that I have just jinxed myself, let's see how this round goes! Seriously, if I can just say no to salty snacks and wine during that after-work/pre-dinner time, I might do okay.
SW: 174
Round 12: 171.4
Round 13: 168.6
Round 15: 163.3
Round 16: 164.4
Round 18: 164.1
Round 20: 165
Round 21: 164.5
Round 22: 164.1
Round 23: 161.4
11/29: 161.5 Got my workout in, dog walk, water, and stayed around 1300 cal. I was hungry, though. Had a few cookies last night. I always want a little sweet something after dinner. I boiled some eggs this morning and am going to bake chicken for dinner and leftovers. Need more protein in my diet.
11/30: 161.8 I had lunch out, take out for dinner, AND a chai tea in the afternoon. More calories than my body is used to, but I managed my portions and still dragged myself to the gym for a run. I whine all the way there, but I work out for the feeling after, which never disappoints!
12/1: 162 After such a big drop, thinking this is normal, but there has been some added work stress and processed food this week. Yesterday I had two commitments after work and could not get my exercise in. Back to it today.
12/2: 160.4 Surprised at this, but now that it's there, it's motivation for me to do well today to see what happens tomorrrow...
12/3: 159.9 Got back to exercise after two days off, and did lots of housecleaning yesterday.6 -

Day/Weight/Comment
11/29 - 103.2kg - Whaaat? OK, I've been eating out since travelling, but there must be some hidden ingredients somewhere. My weight is definitely not going in the right direction
11/30 - 102.6 - again, a very familiar number but at least it's going back the right way...
12/01 - 102.2 - The eating was subpar today, too much caffeine, not enough water - will probably be reflected on the scales tomorrow. Traveling home today, need to be mindful of airport lounge food, too easy to indulge to ease the fatigue.
12/02 - 101.6 - I'm skeptical seeing how last night involved a party bash where pitchers of mojitos were involved. Indulged in too many sweet potato fries afterwards - I almost didn't weigh-in today (cowardly), but I joined this challenge for it's daily accountability after all! this is going to show tomorrow probably.
12/03 - 102.2 - this was this morning... and tomorrow will be worse. I had a carrot cake attack me from the right, it was completely unplanned. This is pure nightmare material, thank goodness the weekend is just about over

This will be another challenging round. I had surgery (cosmetic) on the 29th, and spending the next week recovering on oxycodone. I’m not allowed to do any strenuous exercise for a week, doctors orders. I'll have to be extra clean with my diet to compensate. Looking forward to staying 100% compliant during my recovery. No alcohol. Consistency is key.

11/29 • 116 • Ran 3.5 miles & lifted weights this morning. Surgery this afternoon. 3 servings of alcohol. 1700 cal.
11/30 • 117 • Walked 2 miles this evening. Day 1 post surgery & feeling bloated from the procedure. 1400 cal.
12/01 • 116 • Walked 2 miles this evening. Day 2 post surgery & still feeling very bloated from the procedure. 1450 cal
12/02 • 116 • Walked 2 miles this evening. Day 3 post surgery & still bloated from the procedure. 1480 cal
12/03 • 116 • Walk 2 miles this evening. Day 4 post surgery. My weight is definitely higher from the procedure. But I've been doing really well with my diet. So I'm hoping for a drop off soon.

12/02, 165.8, whaaaaaat? I'm crying!! I had recently gained over 15lbs and to see that all the workouts and healthy eating are finally catching up motivates me to keep going. Today I have a party where lots of delicious desserts will be served (I'm an awesome baker and cook)
12/03, 165.4, Not surprised. I didn't drink my usual amount of water and I feel sore.
I'm very proud of myself for not eating all the desserts yesterday. I kept telling myself that I was worth much more than them. It was the greatest feeling to be in control.

Thanks again, Cyranda and all of you for sharing. I’m in!
I avoid specific weight goals because that implies that an entire 10 days can be “ruined” for me by failing to reach it -- but durn it! This challenge I am going to see a 4 as the second digit come hell or high water! At least once in the next ten days I want a FOUR!

11/29 252.6 -- It’s a “second-day-post-Chinese-takeout” bloat this morning. Let’s make this the high for the round!
11/30 252.2 -- A counselor once tried to get me to recognize that, when my own behaviors do not match what I believe is right, it makes me unhappy. She recommended I try to bring my behaviors in sync with my beliefs. I’m learning now that she’s right even when it comes to food. When I eat what I think I ought I feel better about myself and I’m happier. I truly recognize it when I am in the breach as last night. This morning I have a sliced-bread hangover.
2/01 251.8 -- Going in the right direction!
… radio silence …
I’m ghosting you all but don’t take it personally. I’ll be back all refreshed. I need a break. Not a break from eating right, maintaining a calorie deficit, and carefully logging -- that is what I will concentrate on. I need a break from communicating about it. I need to be alone to think about it for awhile.
I need to stop reading the forums and go back to geotagging menus for NYPL and other crowd-sourced tagging and volunteer transcription projects. I need to get us organized to downsize/move at the first of the year after 20+ years in this house. I need to stop using MFP as a crutch to avoid other things.
But I also need to wonderful community that is MFP and especially all you folks in these 10-day challenges who have been so wonderful about sharing your trials, triumphs, and mutual support. I feel a touch guilty for running away but I know you all are strong and will be here when I get back.
I don’t know if it will be a week or a month or only a few days, but I will be back and I thank you all.

This is no surprise as I feel puffy and seem to be retaining everything. Hoping for a drop in a day or two. We're going out for lunch, but I plan to drink lots of water and stay within my calorie limits. All is well.
11/30 - 148.6
Patience, she said. Patience.
12/01 - 148.6

Well, I don't get it. I've been within my goals. Thinking maybe it's time for a bigger calorie day to shake things loose. OTOH, I bought some new pants in a smaller size, so there's that.
12/03 - 149
Expected - I ate about 400 extra calories yesterday and am probably retaining some water (and food!).

@lewisea72 Hang in there! This pattern is what I have been doing for months but I have averaged about a 2# loss each challenge. Bouncy bouncy!
@hedyk I don’t know what cosmetic surgery you had but would think normal swelling after something like a tummy tuck would take awhile to go down, less “complex” would be quicker. I would love to have a tummy tuck but hate “going under!”

11/29=222.1- I did this last round also...a big drop between Day 10 and Day 1. No loss last round, but there's a downward trend.
11/30=223.3- Had a great day with calories yesterday and pretty good with steps, but as long as I stay below the last round's average, I'm losing weight, so I'm happy. I like doing the averages; whoever started that on here, thanks! It helps to not panic over daily fluctuations, like with TrendWeight.
12/01=223.8- Well, up again today, but hoping for a better day tomorrow.
12/02=225.6- Not a better day...
12/03=224.3- Still not thrilled, but haven't been doing too well this week, so I'm glad it went back down today. Hopefully, I can get back to it tomorrow and get to losing again.

This is the first time joining in on this! Better late than never and I love the idea of short goals and seeing progress!
Just a little background about me! I am 38, 5’9” and have 3 kids, love tennis (play about 3x a week) and I have about 10lbs I need to shed! For the past few years I have been about 160 and it is a comfortable weight for me. I would love to be 152lbs but that hasn’t happened since I had my 1st kid 15 years ago! In the last 2 months I have jumped up to 167lbs! It’s time to buckle down and shed this weight.. my goal is 157lbs! Wish me luck!
Current weight: 167lbs
Goal weight: 157
Day/Weight/Comment
11/29 Didn’t weigh in, hadn’t joined yet but I tried to eat well all day but cheated when I ate a 1/2 cup of chocolate chips! I need to be accountable so I decided today I was going to get in some groups and find some support!
11/30 167lbs - feeling good so far, eating it on track, played two hours of tennis this morning and am motivated to finish the day with no cheating.
12/01 165lbs - 2lb loss! Probably water but I like seeing the scale move! Today was a good day, lots of tennis and I ate really well with no cheating! On a side note my car got broken into which was a bummer but only my garage door opener was taken. Scary and not a great way to start the day! Hoping to see a loss again tomorrow!
12/02 164.4lbs - yay!! Another half a pound! I’m sure it’s all water but still feels great.. I bet it’s going to be tougher from this point on.. I am going to try to stay strict tonight but we are going to the casino tonight, eating out and drinking!! Uggg!
12/03 ??? I stayed overnight at the casino so I didn’t get to weigh in. I did good yesterday but I’m sure the drinking will make me bloat. Today was a cheat day for me. I pretty much ate what I wanted. I’m not going to be happy tomorrow with my weigh in but I will be good from here on out!!

11/29- 227.2 - non scale victory is staying within the daily calorie plan while also going to the movies with friends and not drinking a soda! Popcorn needs soda and I'm proud I just got water instead.
11/30 - 226.4 - NSV - after a few weeks of dealing with the happy/annoying fact that nothing fits anymore (it's good cause everything is too big, but nothing fitting right whether big or small sort of sucks), I went shopping for jeans. I wasn't sure if I'd lost enough cm to fit a size down, but I did! I'm officially a size 16 for the first time on 3 years and they were $16. So happy I don't have to pay $90 for jeans anymore. Great day
12/01 - 225.6 - NSV - started baking for Christmas, three different cookies so far, haven't eaten single one. Goal is to not eat any until the holiday break.
12/02 - 225.4 - NSV - exceeded my steps today by 4,000 but splurged on calories, which I'm ok with because it's only one day at my friend's wedding shower and also date night with my husband. Tomorrow's weigh in might be rough but still feeling good. Back on the wagon tomorrow.
12/03 - 227 - the scale isn't surprising, I ate twice my daily calories between cake, pizza, drinks etc., but it was expected. NSV is I had a good day, did my steps, made the right food choices and did my meal prep for the week, even though I was tired and didn't want to.

@HeidiCooksSupper I totally understand! I do find myself spending more time on MPF and avoiding other things. Enjoy focusing on other things and I look forward to seeing your posts again when you're back!3

Age 60, 5'4" [lost 1/2" somewhere, not the measurement I wanted to lose]
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. Previous round EW 162.0 LW 162.0R20 SW 166.0 10/20/17 (my round 1)
R20 EW 166.5 LW 164.5

R22 EW 162.0 LW 162.0
R23 EW 162.0 LW 162.0 = included parade day & Thanksgiving, no food/drink loggedRound 23 (previous round)
11/19: 165.0 Expected jump from parade day. Staged holiday parade in a.m. Gave myself day off from logging & to imbibe / eat whatever I wanted. Drank adult beverages, ate restaurant meal and treats at home. Totally worth it! Walked dog 2.83 miles in afternoon. Fitbit 14,794 steps, 250+ steps 9/14 hours and 19 floors.
11/20: 163.5 Net calories red 18, sodium red 647 (ack) but sugar green (yay), 12c water. Walked dog 3.26 miles. Fitbit 13,815 steps, 250+ steps 11/14 hours & 29 floors.

11/24: 162.5 Weight is big surprise day after Thanksgiving. A day off from logging adult beverages & food for me, and ate what I loved (just not as much), limited wine to one glass. Felt absolutely stuffed after dinner, can't eat like I used to, which is an excellent thing. Ate very small pieces of pie (couldn't resist apple & pumpkin) later for dessert and no supper, just ate hard boiled egg for late evening snack. As planned, walked dog 3 miles before travels (had 5 1/2 hours round trip in car) & drank plenty of water = 14c. Fitbit 10,102 steps, 250+ steps 5/14 hours (yikes, that was sedentary) & 5 floors.
11/25: 163.0 Net calories green (barely) & 12c water. Walked dog 4 miles & raked backyard for final time this year. Fitbit 17,908 steps, 250+ steps 10/14 hours & 46 floors.
11/26: 164.5 Gave in to way too many Cheetos as evening snack w/ hubby & net calories / sodium very red. Non-dog walk day, lazy Sat. & movie date w/ hubby, felt good to have an easy day. Fitbit 3,851 steps (ack!), 250+ steps 7/14 hours, 6 floors & 10c water. Still, very happy to stay under 165, there is no target date.

11/29: 161.5 Walked dog 3.09 miles before work. Fitbit 17,682 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom) hours & 36 floors. 14c water / not sure about net calories, had to guestimate for wine tasting and appetizers sampled at spa open house, totally worth it.
11/30: 162.0 Happy hour w/ 1 pint beer & dinner at Mexican restaurant / net calories -810 (guestimated) and sodium sky high / 15c water. Walked dog 3.07 miles before work. Fitbit 13,444 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 hours & 38 floors.
