Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 33

itiireae · March 2018

In for my second round!

MFP SW - 58.4 kg
UGW - 50 or a bit less

R32 SW - 55.7
R33 SW - 54.3 R33 GW - 53.5

Day/Weight/Comment
2/27 - 54.3
2/28 - 54.1
3/1 - 53.9
3/2 - 53.9
3/3 - 53.6
3/4 - 54 - I ate some sweets quite late last night (and drank just a few little cups of tea throughout the day), so I'm not surprised OR upset! I'll be back on track in a day. Probably! I've already survived a week without a single gram lost, so there's nothing to worry about.
3/5 - 54 - Oh, well, I have to admit, I feel slightly depressed these days, and the only coping mechanism I know—rather the only one that works for me—is to eat something sweet, so I keep doing that. I still eat not much, less than 1200 kcal per day, but there probably won't be any progress any time soon, sadly! However, to be honest, I don't really enjoy eating as a way to cope with stress, so it seems I will put an end to this activity soon, too. I do enjoy food more when it's cooked in different ways and when it's healthy. Otherwise it gives a short-lasting feeling of relief, and when it ends there's literally nothing left. I'm not sure why I am stuck with this habit.
3/6 - 54 - Nothing new, again, but that's fine, right? I think it's better to maintain certain weight than to give up and gain even more. In the meantime, I started to eat somewhat more, and although that means that I will lose weight a little slower, this is great in the long run. AND I made this day a water day! I wonder how you people manage to drink that much water, you're amazing! My record is less than one liter per day, and it still feels like a lot to me.

Here we go again! I had a rough round last time...who am I kidding?!?!...I had a rough February, my least favourite month....between the blahs and the crazy hormone swings I truly believe that coming in to check in here every day is what kept me from going completely off the rails. March is just around the corner which gives me hope that I'll be able to get out running on the trails again soon once the snow and ice are gone and I won't be stuck working out in the basement.

SW - 182.4 - March 2017
Original GW - 145 - hit this in October 2017 and maintained around 143 up to Januaryish
New GW - 140 or below...I know I can do it!!

2/26 - 147.6 - this is the highest I've been in ages and I know it stems from poor food choices and some whacky peri-menopausal hormone water retention

Day/Weight/Comment
2/27 - 145.6 - literally flushed away 2lbs of water weight yesterday LOL...I logged every bit of food I put in my mouth and got in a good walk with the dog and a kettlebell workout...was a great day and really motivating to feel in control of things.
2/28 - 143.0 - continued "flushing" yesterday...GOODBYE FEBRUARY!!! I'm moving onwards and downwards!!!
3/1 - 143.2 - no more flushing...now we get down to business. NSV yesterday...on a whim I tried on a pair of size 6 jeans because they didn't have and 8...and they FIT!!! Had to buy them, at least they were from the clearance rack so double score

3/2 - 143.0 - feeling great about this week so far...in control and motivated.
3/3 - 142.6 - worked a cocktail and some wine into my calorie deficit last night...smaller deficit but still on track...I don't need these last few pounds off quickly so I think enjoying some reasonable treats on the weekend is a great reward for sticking to the plan through the week.
3/4 - 143.4 - TOM arrived....more horormones

3/5 - 146.2 - weighed in the morning...totally didn't get online to check in here
3/6 - 145.4 - TOM bounce heading back down...I'll also own that I haven't been doing great with the sweet and salty cravings, moving on...
3/7 - 146.4 - back up here...

In for my second round!

OSW: 252
Ultimate GW: ?

Woman, Age 46, 5'6"

Round 32: SW 240.6; EW 241.6
Round 33: SW 241.6

Round 33

2/27 / 241.6 / Ate under calories, but it was pretty heavy on rice, which has been known to make me retain some water. My ring isn't tight now, though, which it was for most of the last round. Still getting some activity in every day. No longer have any digestive aggravation.

2/28 / 241.4 / Down a tiny bit. Ate under calories. Activity good. My ring is tight again. This is dumb.

3/1 / 240.6 / I'm working from home today, so my weigh-in was 1.5 hours later than normal. Still, I'll take the loss! Ate under calories. Activity good. My ring is a little snug but not as bad as it has been. I have a lot to do today, work-wise, so I'll have to be mindful that I get up and stretch and move around at times. I have a tendency to get so involved in what I'm doing that I don't move.

3/2 / 240.6 / Late weigh-in again. Ate a smidge under calories and got my activity in. My ring feels back to normal. Same deal as yesterday with needing to MOVE during the day instead of growing roots! There is a howling wind outside which has me weirdly jumpy.

3/3 / 238.8 / Woot! Late weigh-in because of the weekend. Squeaked in under calories. Hit my steps goal.

3/4 / 238.6 / Still creeping downward. I ate a ton of fries yesterday that forced me to exercise for a loooong time, but it was worth it.

3/5 / 239.2 / Normal fluctuation after two days of drops. My exercise was more intense yesterday, and more clustered. I'm a little sore across my shoulders today.

3/6 / 239.8 / A little unexpected, but I know it will come down again. I think that's the nicest thing about a good eating/tracking/exercise routine. You know it will come down again!

3/7 / 239.6 / And the drift back down (hopefully) begins again! I could have had a HUGE calorie deficit yesterday (800 calories less than my goal), but decided to eat a bit more to ensure that I wasn't ravenous this morning. I don't know if that's the better strategy or if it's better just to let there be a huge deficit if it feels okay that day. I know I don't want to have huge deficits every day. Thoughts welcome!

commit1440 · March 2018

SW:190.4
GW: 140
Goals for this round: track all calories, water, sodium, and steps; also lose 3 lbs.

Day/Weight/Comment

2/27 - 191.6 (not a good start), net calories burned ~ 1000, water (5 glasses), sodium -1670, 11,800 steps. could use more water, otherwise ok.

2/28 - 190.4 (back to 2/26 weight), about 1100 calorie deficit, 64 oz water, sodium - 2706, 11,900 steps. I'm starting to think my calories burned are a bit on the high side -- I'm relying on what my fitbit is telling me.

3/1 - 190.0 - good!, deficit ~ 1100, 56 oz water, sodium ~ 2138, 12,900 steps

3/2 - 189.8 - got up around 5 am, weighed 191, couldn't go to work due to weather, went back to bed, woke up 4 hours later, and weighed 189.8. Not sure why that happens -- is it me processing the previous day or is it my scale trying to decide what number to display. there's not much I can do about it, but it's good to know THAT can happen. Calorie deficit ~1500, 56 oz water, very few steps due to weather (~3,000), but mangaged to ride stationary bike for about an hour, plus 1 Jillian Michaels DVD.

3/3- 188.8 (after sleeping in a bit) weather is looking better, hope to get in a nice walk. Rested most of the day, deficit ~ 500 calories, water- not good, sodium-1641. Few steps
3/4 - 188.0 - deficit ~ 1500, 56 oz water, sodium 1793, 13,400 steps
3/5 - 188.2 - deficit ~ 1200, 56 oz water, sodium 2177 (not as bad as I thought), 12,500 steps
3/6 - 188.0 - deficit ~ 1200, 64 oz water, sodium 1611 (better than yesterday!), 12,200 steps
3/7 - 187.2 - so far, not feeling great; it's either allergies or a cold. It's raining/snowing today. Not sure if I'll get a decent walk in today

Amjcance · March 2018

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: 200.4 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...
3/6 - 198.8 - worked out yesterday morning and then took a walk for lunch. I’m surprised and a bit skeptical this will stick. We will see - home with a sick kid today so unlikely I’ll workout.
3/7- 199.8 - not sure what to make of it but I’ll be happier when I’m further from the 200 mark. Worked out hard this am. Hoping to finish strong in my first challenge.

Just Give Me 10 Days SW: 222.7
R31 EW: 218.6
R32 EW: 215.8 ✔️Goal

Goal: Release 2 lbs per round to reach onederland by Memorial Day weekend.
Ultimate Goal: 175 lbs, reevaluate at that point

February
27: 215.8... I'm glad for sustaining this, even if it's only been for 2 days in a row. I've now lost 15 pounds since Christmas, and half of that since starting this challenge. Food, exercise, and water were good yesterday. Today I drove past 4 gas stations that have espresso/latte machines. I love the drinks, and they aren't high in calories or carbs as long as I skip the extra flavoring. Coffee at home is cheaper and healthier though. Each station that I passed, I told myself to just hold off and if I really wanted a latte I could wait until the next station. I made the 40 mile drive without stopping and made my bulletproof coffee as soon as I got home.
28: 215.7... I'll take it! Walked for over an hour yesterday. It was 54°F, which is crazy for February in Wisconsin! I'm glad I got to get out and enjoy it. Water, food, and sodium all good.
March
1: 215.3... Slow & steady. All good yesterday, and prelogged for today. I have an old college friend visiting, so I'm not sure I'll get much exercise in.
2: 215.6... Normal fluctuation. I was a little low on my 100oz water goal, but I did find time to get a solid walk in while my daughter was in gymnastics.
3: I forgot to check in this day! Weight was 216.4. Not sure about the increase, but not concerned after the March 4th weigh in.
4: 214.5... Yesterday was a rest day. I unintentionally ate 1300+ calories instead of 1680 plus had an extra deficit according to my Fitbit activity adjustment.
5: 214.8... Normal fluctuation, I think. I switched my MFP weekly weight loss goal from 1 pound to 1.5, and my calories dropped from 1680 to 1400. Today is my second day with this. I'll try it for a week or so, and change it back if it feels off.
6: 213.5...Whoosh! There it is!

7: 213... No formal exercise yesterday other than morning shoveling of heavy snow, but far below step goal. Food was perfect though!

Age 60, 5'4" and eating in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet. I eat back exercise calories, otherwise I get cranky. Hubby does not like cranky me.
MFP SW 195 ~ Goals: #1 = 150 / #2 = 145 [normal BMI] / #3 = maintain 140 - 145
Thrilled with my 2/15/18 annual physical: BP 110/68, pulse 64 and BMI 26.14

If a client has come to me looking to lose 10 pounds, I would tell them to simply move. Move more and more often. Walk or bike ride to class or work, even park further away from your location in the parking lot. Take the stairs or take a walk during lunch. You don’t have to spend hours every day in the gym sweating, but you do have to make a conscious effort to move more, and sit less. This works great because it doesn’t feel like work and you’re burning more and more calories throughout the day. — Ajia Cherry, personal trainer and Founder at Functional Innovative Training

@itiireae Drinking as much water as I do, about a gallon a day, didn’t happen over night. I had to force myself in the beginning but now if I don’t have it, I crave it. My husband thinks he’s doing great if he gets a liter a day! After he had a heat stroke a couple of years ago, I convinced him he needs to drink more when he’s working outside. I nag him A LOT!

@puttyputty I go with the occasional huge deficit. When I started Keto I would try to hit my macros even if it meant I was eating when I wasn’t hungry. I didn’t like feeling stuffed at 10PM even if I was going to be awake for several hours more.

@commit1440 If you don’t feel well, take a day to recoup.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE CHANGE.

2/27 141.0 Revised after multiple trips to the bathroom due to antibiotic side effect. Casino buffet for dinner.
2/28 141.0 (EFD1)Think I’m holding some water as my rings became uncomfortably tight last night.
3/1 140.5 (EFD2) 50 counter pushups and 15 sec counter plank
3/2 140.5 (EFD3)
3/3 139.5 Well I think my scale may be on its death bed. It said 139.5 and shut off when I turned it back on it said 132 about 8 times. Then all it would say is Lo. I just put new batteries in last week! I took a 3 hour nap after I wrote this and before I posted! I knew I was tired. Damn the phone for ringing and waking me up!
3/4 141 Salty eating! “Guts” of a Subway spicy Italian for lunch, naked McDouble at 11:30PM!
3/5 141 I think that 139.5 was a glitch with my scale. I have been under calories and macros for several days.
3/6 140.5
3/7 141.0 I was hungry yesterday. I was over on macros and calories but not that much. (+102 cal)

AND I made this day a water day! I wonder how you people manage to drink that much water, you're amazing! My record is less than one liter per day, and it still feels like a lot to me.

Good for you! Just keep adding water each day or week. I am now so used to 10-12c (>2 liters) per day, if I don't, I crave water and my skin feels dry. Water has lots of benefits for your body!

Round 33 Goal = work s.l.o.w.l.y toward new goal weight 127.0

2/27 - 130.0 - down one since yesterday and starting exactly where I started Round 32. No big deal, this is a slow game! Yesterday under calories, 10K steps and 15 floors
2/28 - 130.2 - kinda meh I confess people! over calories again, planned rest day due to other priorities. Here is to a better day today, even if it did start with a muffin

3/1 - 130.0 - under calories yesterday and a strong workout. Let's MARCH friends!
3/2 - 129.4 - under calories yesterday, got 7500 steps and 8 floors but no organized workout. 5 minutes of planks already today tho!
3/3 - 129.0 - back to lowest weight, under calories yesterday, modest workout and hit step goal.
3/4 - 128.4 - new low which likely means, dehydrated! over calories by a bit yesterday, not feeling great so no workout. Headache today ... such is life ... patience. Breathing.
3/5 - 129.2 - just at calories to lose .5/week yesterday, started A Workout Routine which is a simple beginner's weight training, I CAN DO BOY STYLE PUSHUPS AGAIN I discovered. Those planks paid off!
3/6 - 128.4 - under calories, hit step goal, short run about 2.7 miles.

3/7 - 129.2 - bounce but that's how this works. Excited about my average this round. Yesterday my meet-up day after work, headache all day, over on calories: but got in A Workout Routine workout B at home with resistance bands. Feeling clever about that.

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.

3/6..143.4.. Same despite long workout yesterday and clean eating. Getting discouraged here.

Are you eating back exercise calories? If yes, how are you calculating? I have found my Fitbit, MapMyWalk app and treadmill vary widely on calories burned. Therefore, I don't log any tracker calories, but log exercise/activity on MFP using the MFP database and minutes of activity. The database is large, and even includes stuff like cleaning, gardening and cooking. I have logged those some days. Are you drinking enough water? Just some thoughts for your stall. I agree with an earlier post, science is on your side. CICO (calories in < calories out)

2/27 / 274.0 / Welcome back all!
2/28 / 273.6 /
3/01 / 273.4 / Raining today. I love rain.
3/02 / 273.6 / Ate out yesterday, saved half for dinner. Logged all the items (simple ingredients) but I think the sodium caused a small increase. No worries. Under calories.
3/03 / 275.0 / So. Yesterday I did not drink water. I’ve been drinking in excess of 96 ounces per day the past two weeks, and I just stopped cold turkey. I woke up at 5am with the worst hangover-type headache so I immediately drank about 40 oz. Then I had coffee, and then I weighed in. Also went to a wedding today and accurately counting my calories will be impossible, though I stuck to only salad and meat. We’ll see what happens.
3/04 / 274.6 / Back at it. I have my water ready to go after two days of uneven consumption.
3/05 / 273.6 / Working the plan, no weddings or birthdays on the horizon.
3/06 / 273.6 / Working the plan, plus upped my walking game. My ankles are not happy but I am!
3/07 / 272.4 / Wow. I am so happy to weigh every day! I can see how weight loss is a very uneven process.

Round 33 (Round 3 for Me)
Goal: Lose 2 lbs., 10,000 + Steps, Strength Tr., Eat within Calories, Watch Sodium, and Lots of Water!

Day/Weight/Comment:

2/27: 240.6
-0.4 lbs. 10,235 Steps, Ate within goals.
2/28: 240.6
No Change. Ate great, walked around 5,000 steps, and did a 30 min. lower body workout.
Since starting these challenges (this is my 3rd round) the jeans that were once tight on me I can slip on and off without unzipping. And I can see the difference already.
3/1: 240
-0.6 lbs. 10,664 Steps, played in the snow with my kiddo, and ate within goals.
3/2: 238.8
-1.2 lbs. Around 5,000 Steps, and 1 Hour Arm and Abs Workout, within all MFP goals
3/3: 239
+0.2 Weighed on new scale today. With the old scale I had to weigh my self a few times and pick the weight that seemed correct. On the new scale it says the same weight every time. 8,622 Steps, within all MFP goals
3/4: 240.4
+1.4 lbs. I'm not surprised I had a gain. I was 100 calories over (and that was after eating my exer. calories), and was the highest I've been is sodium (made pho and stir fry yesterday). Also, did a 1 hour lower body strength training workout.
3/5: 238.6
-1.8 lbs. 10,922 Steps, 150 calories over. Guess I was able to get rid of that water weight gain from yesterday. Lots of water and watched my sodium.
3/6: 239.6
+1 lb. 6,144 Steps, 160 calories over, 1 hour arms and abs workout. For the last 26 days I keep fluctuating between 238 - 241 lbs. I really want to break through to 237 and keep going.
3/7: 239.6
No Change. 1 Hour Cardio Workout, 10,100 Steps.

Goal Round 33: 231

Day/Weight/Comment
2/27 – 232.6 before breakfast. Super motivated yesterday so I’m looking to continue that!

2/28 – 231.6 this morning. Started to overeat yesterday and then stopped myself and took a long walk. I eat my way through every emotion so the walk was a healthy distraction. The smart part of me knows that I do that so at least the recognition is there. Half the battle, right?

3/1 – 230.6

3/2 – 230.2 before breakfast. I am so proud of this loss!! All day yesterday I walked past candy and cookies and was barely even tempted. I know that eventually I will reach a point where I can eat one and stop but I’m not there yet. For this moment, it feels really good to be in control – I own every bit of that .4 loss!

3/3 - 228.8 this morning. Wow - was not expecting that. Ate out last night and didn't watch as closely as I should have. Usually takes 2 days for the change to show so we'll see what tomorrow brings!

3/4 – 230 before breakfast. Not surprised and glad I got the gain out of the way!

3/5 – 229.6 this morning. Gotta try to get water in today. It’s just a struggle!

3/6 – 229.6 again. 12 hour work day which is not typical so I’ll have to be very mindful of what I eat and not give in to a fast food quick fix!

3/7 – 229 before breakfast.
