JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 25

cyranda63 · December 2017

Here we go again!!

Starting on December 9 - December 18, JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 25! Lets see what more we can do as we reach a total of 250 days consecutively!

Anyone else game?

Let's give it our best 10 days ever! Here comes Christmas! This will be a trying time for a lot of us! Moderation is the key during this season. If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this. Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

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
Get set

I'm back, and I can hear Mom in my head telling me that she knows how hard it is to lose weight and not to lose too much because being healthy is important too. She was always a worrier. I'm going to keep at it for her. She'd want me to.

We have a family Christmas dinner on the 17th and I have not seen some folks for a year. Good motivation to keep going. I'd like to lose a couple of more pounds prior to then.

I love this idea and am signing up for my first round! I am trying to lose weight for my wedding in August 2018 and the holiday season is already proving itself very difficult as we have been to so many holiday parties already (it's hard being social when you're trying to lose weight!), so I love this motivation to help me keep on track.

12/03: 161.0 Walked the Jingle Bell 5K with chip time of 44:37 and average pace of 14:22, beating my goal of 45 minutes. Woohoo! Then walked dog in afternoon 2.65 miles. Fitbit 19,155 steps, 250+ steps 10/14 hours & 20 floors. Net calories w/i 100 green & 12c water.

I don't want to set a specific number goal because I have another round of birthdays to survive. I'd just love to be under 99kg to keep as much space as possible from 100kg and under 220in lbs ! I do not want to see 3-number kg weight!

40lbslighter · December 2017

I'm in for another exciting round! Nice to see all the new faces! Welcome!!

HELPFUL POSTING TIPS FOR NEWCOMERS:

1) HOW TO FIND/EDIT YOUR PREVIOUS POST.
People do this different ways. There is no "easy" way to find your last post, so many people keep their weigh-ins and comments in Memo or Notes on their phones or computers, then copy and paste into a new post.
Alternatively, you could remember the page or date & time you posted last. Also, MFP will automatically return you to the last post you read in a particular thread, so if you read everyone else's posts first, then post yours and close the thread, you should pop back to your last post.
When you find your post, "Quote" it, then remove [ quote ] and [ /quote ] in your new message.
(Personally I find the copy/paste from Memo/Notes method to be the simplest!)

2) EMOJIS
Only use the MFP emojis (BBCode) otherwise your post may be cut off. Use the

drop down menu on the top right of the reply box or type : then the first letter of the emotion you are looking for (s for smile, l for lol, e for embarrassed, etc.)

Welcome aboard the JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS train! Woot-woot!!

TerriRichardson112 · December 2017

@cyranda63 Thank you for keeping this going. I need this accountability.

I HAVE the power and determination to do this.

Current Focus: In the normal range for my age height and build, on maintenance.

Had a bit of a blip last round as I was ill.

Primary Goal - 160lbs +/- 2lbs.

Of course, losing a pound a Round would be ace, as I would like a cushion for celebrations.

to all the Newbies, and Hi to those returning for another Round. This has given me an element of daily accountability which is motivational.

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 does come off, bit by stubborn bit! If you 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!
