Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 34

cschmitz110515 · March 2018

Age 60, 5'4" and eating in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet. I eat back exercise calories, or I would be starving and 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

My digital scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Comments reflect prior day.

One of the keys to long-term and sustainable weight loss is to cut total calorie intake, and there’s no better way to do that than by eating just a little bit less of what you currently eat. Once you get into a habit of reducing portions—especially of sugary, fatty and other nutrient-poor foods—you can fine tune your diet to incorporate more nutrient-rich foods. But paring portions is still the best first step. — Elisa Zied, MS, RDN, CDN, author of Younger Next Week

Feeling good, after six rounds stuck right around 156, I am finally seeing some progress. Funny, this week I haven't been able to exercise due to being wiped out from a cold, but it seems to have prompted my body to release some weight, maybe do a little reset.

puddlegoober · March 2018

Wife is out of town this weekend, which means that I'm in control of my food! It's time to test my theory - that I do better when I take control of things. Outside of one day last weekend (+4.0 lbs!) I had a great last round (still lost 2.2 lbs overall), and I'm looking to continue my journey toward that mythical place... ONEDERLAND.

Age: 45
Height 5’11”
Historical SW (January 2015): 245 lbs
Recent SW: 220.0 lbs (1/14/18)
Ultimate GW: 195.0 lbs (and then reevaluate)
R28 SW = 220.0 EW = 219.8 (-0.2) AW = 220.2 (+0.2)
R29 SW = 219.8 EW = 214.0 (-5.8) AW = 215.9 (-4.3)
R30 SW = 214.0 EW = 214.0 (-0.0) AW = 214.1 (-1.8)
R31 SW = 214.0 EW = 209.2 (-4.8) AW = 211.3 (-2.8)
R32 SW = 209.2 EW = 209.6 (+0.4) AW = 208.9 (-2.4)
R33 SW = 209.6 EW = 207.4 (-2.2) AW = 208.2 (-0.7)
Total loss (before this round): 12.6 lbs
Average weight loss per round: 2.37lbs

Goal for this round: 205

Day/Weight/Comment

3/9 = 206.6 (-1.0). Good start, but this little whoosh just gets me back to zero. It officially took me 6 days to recover completely from last Saturday's 4.0 lb gain, but it finally happened. This was my normal pattern before this challenge. I need to remember how long it takes me to recover from a bad day, even a bad meal (6 days, apparently). That all being said, I'm energized. My knee feels great this morning without pain killers. I'm going to the gym tomorrow (need to rest one more day after my cortisone injection), and I'll get in my weights and my HIIT. It feels SO GOOD to be back down to zero. I'm going to destroy this weekend. No eating out. Everything planned. I might even cook. No wifey temptations, because she's in SF with her sister and friend.

@quiltingjaine - to answer your question. "So after you win the $$ you’re quitting us???" I had not planned on leaving this challenge until I recovered from my extreme 7 week diet/life style change. my last 2 posts have disappeared either by moderation or flagging. not sure if it was my mentioning alcoholism, hunting, or the insane diet plan I am doing. either way I am not sure if I will post my results again.

Okie dokie. I am eating better day by day as we get almost settled in, but still a lot of restaurant food, so sodium.

In for my 3rd round!

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

R32 SW - 55.7
R33 SW - 54.3
R34 SW - 53.8 R34 GW - 53.3

And my daily goal is to drink more water. It seems impossible, right, but I surely can do it!

Day/Weight/Comment
3/9 - 53.8 - daily goal: shamefully failed. I simply forgot that I need to drink something else than just a few little cups of tea... On the bright side, I made a wonderful pizza! It was quite delicious!
