JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 32

CynthiaByrne · February 2018

My first time was ROUND 22 starting weight 185.6

2/17 - 185.8
2/18 - 188.6....Lots of salty treats (& wine) for a Saturday. While on my morning walk, I discovered that my hip
& knee are aching, so I really need to shed this last 15 pounds. My health depends on it!
2/19 - 187.4
2/20 - 186.0....Wow, this is tougher than I thought it would be. I hate being unemployed!
2/21 - 186.8
2/22 - 185.8.....heading in the right direction
2/23 -
2/24 -
2/25 -
2/26 -

It won't be easy, but it will be worth it!

Lets do it again!! Round 2 for me. Good luck, discipline, and accomplishment to all!

**Round 32**
Heaviest Weight: 235 lbs/106.6kg (February 7th 2018)
Smallest Weight: 175 lbs/79.4kg (March 2009)
First Goal Weight: 220 lbs
Ultimate Goal Weight: 185 lbs

R31 Starting Weight: 106.6kg/235 lbs R31 Ending Weight: 103.9kg/229.8 lbs (-2.27kg/5lbs)
R32 Goal Weight: 225-226 lbs

Daily Goals:
Drink 90-120oz of water daily; consume 1300 cal (amended) and measure food; no added sugars/sweeteners; around 1500mg sodium intake max; get in 5000+ steps daily; do chi gung; sleep more than 6 hours nightly!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/17: 228.4 – The day’s events (brother coming back from Nigeria, Shabbat meal, and snowy/prolonged travels) produced a day where I chose to be highly mindful but not meal plan due to difficulties and wanting peace of mind. I am hoping that this did not take me back much, if at all. Water was still good and I got a full night of sleep! These don’t come around often, but/so I intend to stick to the plan on subsequent Saturdays!

02/18: ??? (post-breakfast and 24 oz of water has me at 231.0) - Weigh-in might be a bit off since I went out of sequence and didn’t weigh first thing in the morning. Activity and water intake were lower than desired, but everything else was good! Not having a good place to walk around on days that I am not working or running errands is a challenge I will have to tackle so that I’m still getting some exercise. I am starting a new Ayurvedic supplement, so I’ll have to see how that affects things.

02/19: 229.2 – Weight is following the same pattern as before, so I’m hoping I know what to expect (good things!). An early evening out to see Black Panther threw off some of the meal timing, but all the good meals were eaten and there was no compensatory popcorn bingeing! I got way less sleep than desired, so I will have to make that a priority moving through the rest of the round.

02/20: 228.0 – The daily goals were on point except those last three, again! I ended up going to bed (way) later and eating my last meal later again, so I am keeping an eye out to see if this will affect anything. Water intake still has me going to the bathroom a lot, and I have to time it to accommodate long commutes, but this is also pushing last intakes to later at night. I’ll be taking smaller bottles with me to work to see if I can keep up intake without being in trouble on the road, lol. Grateful to still be making progress in the midst of adjustment!

02/21: 228.0 - Looks like the weight is holding a bit earlier in the round than before. I was SUPER tired and super hungry (craving-ry?) today! I powered through both meeting intake goals and getting my first 5,000+ step day for the week! With half of the round to go and intake-based goals being on point, the priorities now are chi gung, steps, and a 10pm bedtime threshold to hit the 6+ hour sleep goal.

02/22: 228.0 – 3rd day of holding at the same weight!

Round 32
Starting Weight ~107 lbs
Goal: lose half a pound each Round to reach 105 lbs by April 1st.

Date/Weight/Comment
2/18 108.1 lbs (slowly climbing past 10 days with Calories ~ 1700 per day). When I restrict successfully down to 1500 Calories I lose too fast and am too hungry. Going to test out 1600 over these 10 days and see where I land (with normal exercise).

2/19 107 lbs: 1636 Calories yesterday
2/20 107.4 lbs: 1700 Calories - very active day, but still wish I could have held it together @ 1600.
2/21 107 lbs: 1865 Calories - sneaky food at work.
2/22 107.4 lbs: 1854 Calories - over wine budget!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/17: 181.4 well this is very hard to own. A full 10 lbs up since before Christmas. I had the holidays, 2 long weekend trips out of town with a lot of rich food, and then a 10 day bout of vertigo where I ate everything in the kitchen just trying to settle my stomach (didn't work). I hope to see a couple of lbs of water weight drop off quickly. Plan for today to drink water before each meal and measure my portions.

02/18: 181.2 at least it wasn't up. I drank my water yesterday and mostly stayed within my plan- I did eat some oreo thins. those are a major trigger food for me for some reason! now that they are gone, I will never buy them again. plan for today: gym and costco to stock up for the month on healthy stuff. gonna eat before I go so I don't make dumb choices.

02/19: 179.8 Happy to see this number. I don't know why psychologically it feels so much better to drop a decade even if in reality it only is 1.5 lbs. I guess it's the same mentality where your brain thinks something that is 1.99 is much better deal than 2$? Anyway plan for today: NO ALCOHOL AND NO ADDED SUGAR. These are the things that make it HARD for me to stick to my plan, so they make it HARD for me to meet my goals. Drinking all my water as well!

02/20: 178.8 bye bye water weight! Expecting a slow down here shortly.

02/21: 178.2 Excited about this. My Libra app trend line is still pointing upward, but if this sticks maybe tomorrow it will show a downward trend again. I had Thai lunch and black forest cake out yesterday (not at the same time) and so I had to estimate calories, but I chose the highest number available and still came in under my goal. Halfway through the round. Will I make my goal? hmm

02/22: 178.0 holding steady. Went a bit overboard last night so I'm calling it a maintenance day and moving on.
Plan for today. Drink LOTS of water, a tall glass before each meal. No mindless snacks. and no alcohol.

@brightresolve I was so excited when I touched 143 on 1/4/18 then distressed when I bounced back up about 3# and have hovered in that bouncy neighborhood for weeks! Finally hit 143 again today so I’m going with, “Meh, it’s just a number,” this time!

@rparkerslim MFP changed the WOO icon to more of a crazy face and explained somewhere that it was more of an UH OH. I think most of us had been using it as an WHOO HOO. The minor chan in the face wasn’t really clarifying.

The key to weight loss is to never feel like you’re on a diet, because diets don’t work. If you feel deprived, you will never make it past a few weeks. The only way to achieve long-term weight loss is to learn to appreciate food as fuel and slowly replace processed food that cannot properly energize the body with real food that can. After a while this will become second nature and won’t feel like a daily struggle. — Laura Burak, MS, RD, CDN
