Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 33

evivahealth · March 2018

SW: 90kg | GW: 57-59kg

Daily Goals: Average 1300 calories | 2L water

R32 EW: 64.2kg

02/27 - 63.3kg (-0.8kg)- Major whoosh overnight.
I guess it's to be expected after a heavy weekend. Considering changing my GW for this round but also know it's gonna be TOM so not sure. Calories and water on target yesterday. Plus I invented an amazing new low-cal, high-protein, DELICIOUS choc orange puddingy thing for dessert

02/28 - 62.8kg (-0.5kg) - Wow, another whoosh.
I've got the cold so maybe it's dehydration? Or maybe the hard work I never saw the result of last round is finally kicking in... Fingers crossed for the second. Already past my goal weight for this round and only 300g off my revised goal!
03/01 - 62.9kg (+0.1) - YES! The loss is holding.
Tiny bump but whatever. I meal prepped on Sunday and took all my food to work. Then the snow came and now I'm working from home so all my good food is sitting 15 miles away in a communal fridge! Going to face the blizzard today to get some healthy stuff to avoid the trash my partner keeps in the house. Yesterday was hard work without my planned meals - I don't know how people manage to stay within their calories without prepping and planning!
03/02 - 62.5kg (-0.5kg) - Down down down!
Really feeling like I am making progress which is great. This is the lightest I've been in my adult life AND the closest I've been to goal weight, only 3.5kg to go. These 10 day challenges are amazing to keep focused, thank you all so much! Revising my goal weight for the round again. Looking forward to a big salty dinner tonight so not expecting the scale to be pretty tomorrow!
03/03 - 62.8kg (+0.3kg) - Expected bump, happy to still be under 63kg. Had a treat dinner and a couple of wines last night. Very enjoyable

plus I closed off my diary on a Friday for the first time in... well, maybe ever haha. Winning.
03/04 - 63.5kg (+0.7kg) - It's a pizza and samosa baby!
I had a bit of a blow out late last night after the pub (oops) and was NOT looking forward to the scale this morning. Carbs and salt, that's all it is. TOM arrived as well. Happy though that my weekend high is still lower than my EW for last round

Back on the wagon today and will be working hard to finish the round at about 62.5kg.

03/05 - 64.1kg (+0.6kg) - Well that was not a nice surprise! I'm not super concerned as my average calories over the last week are coming in under maintenance but still. Ouch. TOM as well. Staying the course.

Overall loss – 16.5kg/36.3lbs

2/27: 115.7kg/255.0lbs – This seems rather dramatic, if this doesn’t go up (too much) tomorrow I will be v v v happy. Feeling the best I have done in a long time, onwards and downwards. Cheers for all the support guys.
2/28: 115.6kg/254.8lbs - Praise the lord it's staying off. I have an interview for a new role tomorrow and I don't fit in my suit and shirts (WOO) I do fit into my smaller suit which I haven't fit in this well for the last 2 years!! So I am currently buzzing but extremely nervous, I really want this job! Wish me luck!
3/1: 115.5kg/254.6lbs - Still marching on downwards, interview went really well!

Day/Weight/Comment
2/27 = 161.6 Got in a 4-mi fast walk in the neighborhood yesterday and ate smart too. This is the lowest weight I’ve been since probably before children (28 years ago)! Headed to Florida at the end of this round, and I so want to be in the 150s by then. Fingers crossed!
2/28 = 161.6
3/1 = 162.4 Was in a car wreck on 2/27 and all I did yesterday was rest in the recliner. Ate ok, but exercise is so important for me to be able to lose weight. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get in a walk today.
3/2 = 161.8 Was able to walk on the treadmill after work yesterday.
3/3 = 160.8 Headed in the right direction!
3/4 = 159.6 This is SUCH a milestone for me! I don’t even remember being in the 150s since I met my husband in 1983. I just want this trend to continue!
3/5 = 159.6 Still SO happy to be in the 150s!

R30 SW 184.6
R31 SW 183.6
R32 SW 182.2 EW 179.8

02/27 181.0 Expected! Ate way over calories yesterday, no workout, and had a strawberry mojito! Back to the grind today. Ready to be out of the 180s for good!

02/28 180.4 Jogged 3 miles, chest, triceps, and abs. Was slightly under calories and drank 8 cups of water. I love water, but I find it difficult to drink more than 8 cups throughout the day. Working on it!

03/01 178.8 Slightly under calories. Light cardio and upper body workout.

03/02 176.2 Interesting. I did intervals on the treadmill and legs last night and ate back some of the calories.

03/03 176.4 Rest day. Logged everything and ate all of my calories.

03/04 175.6 Jogged 5K at the park as practice for my first official 5K next Saturday. It was a struggle, but I made it. Didn't quite meet calorie goal. I'm noticing a pattern of 2-3 weeks of slow losses followed by a week of a big loss. I can dig it!

03/05 175.5 Rest Day.

Round 29 start weight - 140.90
Round 30 start weight - 137.90
Round 31 start weight - 137.90
Round 32 start weight - 140.00

Loss to date - 12.6 lbs
Avg loss per round - 1.05lbs

Round 33 start weight - 138.80

Should be more focused for the whole of this round as no weekends away, no cheer competitions, no school holidays..........

R33 goal - 137lb

02/27 - 137.60lb down 1.2lb - think this is a post carb "whoosh!" from my Sunday morning hotel buffet breakfast! Was a good food day yesterday and walked 13,000 steps. No reason its not going to be another good day today - food all prepped and planned and gym session tonight. R33 target in sight

02/28 - 136.80lb another .80lb down. I seem to alternate between a round where I lose and then one where I don't - can only think its my body "settling" into its new weight - or something.... but whatever it is I'm happy today and hoping it carries on! And happy days have lost a stone on these challenges so far (14lbs for our non UK friends!) - so thank you everyone - this group, reading all your posts and "likes" spur me on! Happy Wednesday everyone

03/01 - 137.00 - 0.20lb up for no real reason - so will blame TOM's arrival! Food prepped and with me for work and all planned for tonight's dinner so looking good for today again

03/02 - 135.80lb down 1.2lb ???? No idea where the drops this round have come from - eating same as ever... will have to see if it sticks! Although when I entered my weight into MFP this morning it came up with a huge congratulations message as I had made my target weight!!!!! Must have set that target up about 2 years ago and to be honest had forgotten all about it till today

Honestly don't think I've been this weight since I got married 17 years ago! Although I have reset to a lower target to even reach that is a real buzz - definitely going to keep me motivated

03/03 - 135.50lb - seriously. I seem to alternate between fab rounds and then losing almost nothing the next - this is my "losing round" by the looks of it. Not eating any differently to any other round - just weird how my body has such a "whoosh" seemingly unrelated to how I have eaten immediately before that. Goes to show that persistence is what pays off! Out for dinner date tonight with my husband so tomorrows weigh in unlikely to be so great but very rare that we get a night to ourselves so going to enjoy it!

03/04 - DNW. Got tea in bed this morning and I always weigh before I eat or drink anything so didn't bother! Tea in bed was far more appealing

03/05 - 138.20lb - not a real gain - my usual Monday morning weigh in is always up after our family Sunday roast dinners - ate later than normal too - and was complete with dessert. Was all within calories - just the timing and as usual didn't drink anywhere as much water over the weekend that I do in the week. Also ate out Saturday so sodium has played a part too - expect "normal" weights to return by Wednesday. Should be a good finish to this round.

GW: 130.0

Goal for this round: diet break/maintenance 3/1-3/14

2/27: 135.8 - so I’m planning my second diet break this week. I’ve been waiting 12 weeks for this and I’m so excited. I really think it will help renew and recharge me.
2/28: 136.0 - great day yesterday: did day 2 of couch to 5k without stopping, felt really good, then ate a huge salty dinner within my calorie goal

3/1: 136.2 - day 1 of diet break. I’m honestly not sure how many calories to shoot for. Should be interesting!
3/2: 136.6 - finished week 1 of couch to 5k. Felt great at the time but I’m a little sore this morning. I’m still worried I’m overeating but I guess time will tell.
3/3: 136.0 - fish fry/rest day yesterday. Went over my made up maintenance by 400. Oops?
3/4: 137.8 - idk what’s happening with my weight. I’m starting to think weighing daily during a diet break isn’t a good idea. I might skip round 34. Anyway, yesterday I did a little yoga, and then went with husband and kids to a tour of our local Major League Baseball stadium. It was really cool and we got to go on the field and into the dugout! Then we had a yummy and highly caloric dinner at Burger Fi! Great day.
3/5: 137.8 - bought a new sports bra and did a really good run (for me, lol). I’ve noticed this morning I am pretty sore and bit dehydrated, so my goal today is to drink lots of water.

Started last round at 144 and ended on 2/26 at 143. My goal for this round is to lose another pound. Creeping slowly toward goal.

Day/Weight/Comment

2/27.. 142.4 Not sure about this drop. 45 min on ellip yesterday. Hopefully gym today. Got my car back!
2/28... 142.6 Got to gym yesterday. This slight gain might be water in muscles. Gonna fix me a stir fry orggie curry today. Haha, meant veggies. It will be an orgie of veggies. Have a great hump day.
3/1...143.4 Grrrrr I let a family situation get to me and had a few glasses of wine. Is that why? 50 on ellip again.
3/2143.4... Took a lovely 45 minute stroll in the drizzle yesterday. Ate decent but no enchilada on the weight loss.
3/3..142.6 This is a surprise as I ate ham for dinner and expected water gain. The ham was great and so is the drop.
Happy Saturday to all.Enjoy your day. Do something just for you.
3/4..143.4 Had great workout yesterday at gym. It felt so good to challenge myself. More ham. It's so good. Today, salad and chicken breast. Elliptical or pool workout. half way through and haven't lost. gained. blah.

3/5..143.4 Well at least I'm not gaining! Did 50 on ellip and so-so on food. Nothing extreme but some processed stuff. Today: gym.

This group has been amazing for me regardless of whether we speak or not. You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the waters.

UGW: 125
JGMR5SW: 155.6

02/27: 155 lbs

I had a high carb day yesterday. I ate rice which I haven't had in about a year, numerous tortilla chips. Is the HIIT carb cycling really working, or is it a coincidence? I wonder if this number will be up tomorrow. My guess is yes.
2/28: 156.6 I was totally right! My number is definitely up. This carb cycling thing better work, or I'll cry.

03/01: 156: Going back down again. It's March 1st already! This year is flying by so quickly. Yesterday was incredibly stressful. ISTEP is hard on all involved.
03/02: 156.4 Going to head out to TN at some point today. It's our first ever getaway and my oldest is 14! I am nervous and yet so excited. Also, TOM has arrived. I believe that's the spike in my weight right now.
03/03: No Scale. I'm in Pigeon Forge, and even though I'm watching, I'm also not watching my calories and macros. My husband and I have never been away for any time in our marriage. So, I'm going to enjoy it.
03/04: No Scale. Put in about 15,000 steps yesterday. Will not put many in today since we have a 6 hour drive back to Indiana. The weekend flew by way TOO fast.
03/05: 156.6 Okay. I am good with this number.

Now, it is back to the grind and to continue ISTEP.

Round 1 for me (Round 33): 202.8
I am hoping this keeps me focused as I am three weeks into my new Keto lifestyle and loving it so far.

2/27: 202.8
2/28: 202 I was shocked that I would have gone down at all -
Struggling to get into any consistent workout routine. I have the Aaptiv app but making time for it. Today I plan to take a walk during my lunch hour if only to get in a 20 minute walk
3/1: 202 - this makes sense I didn’t go walking at lunch too much snow. Skipped the treadmill this am because I’m fighting a stomach bug. I’ll just keep logging and making good food choices. I can do this!
3/2: 201.8 - I never ended up working out yesterday so this doesn’t surprise me and I am fine with it going slow. I did get on the treadmill bright and early before work today. It felt great and I think next week I will get back into my routine. I know this weekend will be filled with skiing with the kiddos.
3/3: 200,4 - this is great news but I’m surprised since I had alcohol the night before. I’m feeling a bit dehydrated so this might be all it is. Took a long walk today got more than my steps in which is great. We will see if this holds for tomorrow.
3 / 4: 199.8 - can’t be more excited about this. Breaking the 200 barrier is fab! Headed out skiing with the family. Today starts week 4 of my new Keto lifestyle and so far so good!
3 /5: So I didn’t get to ski yesterday my husband forgot mine so I watched the boys sled. First day I didn’t log my food in three weeks. Not worried as this is pretty normal little bump. I lost two pounds in a week which is already great! I’m shocked his challenge is almost done...

hello all. i am doing 7 week challenge at work now. only 2.5 weeks left. why not get motivation hear to. my goal is to win the challenge and the money. i guess under 200 would be nice. don't want to ever be less then 180 again. 1/19 weight 234.8

weight on the industrial pallet scale.

2/28 - 215lbs 347 calories in - 324 burned brisk walk = 23 net. I know I am an idiot but I felt good today
3/1 - I am sorry I didn't know my posts would show up last on the list. hope I didn't mess up your post. wont happen again. 213lbs today and plan on 1000 calories by the end of the day.
3/2 - 213 again. eat all the foods on my list all day long and dinner lasted until I couldn't fit any more food in me. feel great but was a little shy of my 1000 calories. no access to scale until Monday.
3/3 - 211lbs - 18oz whiskey last night. must be dehydrated a little. managed to reach 1900 calories but 1200 were alcohol.

3/5 - 209lbs today - planned binge weekend. 2 weeks left in competition and I wanted to be relaxed and ready. now its time to step it up. I am adding at least an hour of brisk walking a day. also we are picking up a stationary bike today. if I have the willpower I do not plan on any alcohol till this is over. calorie goal is 500 a day but i wont be mad at myself for a day 1000. lets see what this old body can handle.

tip for anybody eating massive amounts of pickles. I soak them in clean water for a few days to help lower the salt content.

hammycakes · March 2018

Well I'm starting this round with my best intentions. I am up about 6 lbs from my recent lowest weight and I am not enjoying the way my clothes have been fitting. I did show up for the last round, but mentally my eating patterns have been self destructive/ that little voice in my head has been giving me permission to overeat and make excessive food choices

Gotta get back on it.

02/27 179.2 still thinking a bit up due to hormones. drinking water and sticking to the plan.

02/28 177.6 the plan is working! sticking to it today.. 30 days til spring break!

03/01 176.6 good

03/02 176.0 good

03/03 178.2 I was traveling so ate out 2 meals yesterday. Dinner out last night must of been high in sodium! Drinking lots of water today.

03/04 178.6 I ran a mile yesterday while my kiddo was taking her swim lesson. Felt pretty good, I haven't tried to run in a long long time (maybe a year? More?) the cardio was a breeze but I could feel some tight spots in my leg protesting. Not that sore today. Had some drinks with my husband last night so ended up being a maintenance day. Still have 4 days to make my goal for this round so I'm keeping my chin up. Going to sushi buffet for lunch though. Plan is to eat a Big Salad first before any sushi!

03/05 182.2 wow, crazy to think I can fluctuate 6 lbs in 3 days. Trying not to cry about it. It's monday and I'm just moving on, need to use the scale as a motivator and quit making bad choices on the weekend. Drinking water and writing down my plan for the day. At least there are no big challenges coming up this week!
