Thank you, Jackie!

4/19 - due to surgery my face was very swollen. Three hours of sleep again last night. Made minestrone soup today. Finally the weather is suppose to get better and I can start to go for walks. Still super hungry.

4/20 new challenge, I went to the dentist yesterday, he did not see anything wrong. I went back today and my last tooth which is root canal is infected I could hardly drink water. Maybe the steroids caused it. brain surgery and infected tooth. going to get tough to beat this.

4/21- goal for the week, is to cut out salt and sugar and see if this helps for swelling. Going to have a strong week

4/22- still lots of swelling my whole face and neck. But I ate good today lots of fruits and vegetables, chicken.

4/23- ate lots of fruits and vegetables- all colours. I feel good because my sugar and salt are down.

4/24 walking steps, on my Fitbit hit 10,400. Eating chicken, vegetables, and fruits.

4/25 I feel great today, my best day. The swelling from my face is starting to go down.

4/26 Went for a walk today it was uphill I sure felt it. My Fitbit steps 10,143. Just my weight is frustrating me. It is going to be a real challenge for me. Today is five weeks since my surgery. It is unreal the way it healed. I would like to start on fish oil, vit. c, and collegen.

End R37: 196.8 (-4.4)
R38: Goal 195.x (new goal 193.x)

Day/Weight/Comment
4/18 -- 195.0 Okay, looks like I need to pick a new goal.
4/19 -- 194.2 (TOM) Gave myself permission to step off plan today. Just a little, because I've found that small, conscious indulgences satisfies me and prevents me from breaking out completely.
4/20 -- 193.6
4/21 -- 192.6 That's my first 10lb gone. I hope that I start seeing my progress in my clothes and my mirror soon instead of just on my scales. I still have nearly 7lbs to lose before I get to my "I will never allow myself to get this heavy again" weight from 2013.

4/22 -- 192.2 Progress is progress.
4/23 -- 194 Okay, I'm due a bounce back after so much whooshing, but that doesn't mean I have to like it! My aim is to stick to the plan and hope that it's a temporary blip.
4/24 -- 193.4 Better. Need to keep it going, my first mini-goal is in sight.
4/25 -- 192.2 Going the right direction again.
4/26 -- 191.8 I'm very happy with slow and steady progress.
4/27 -- 191.8 Holding steady at the end.

This round started really well for me, though the end was a bit of a struggle. I suspect Round 39 will be much more difficult.

Onwards!

That’s a kilo and a half in 6 days? Help! I’ve been slacking on the water and craving carbs but it’s because I am a little run down.. but I am still watching my calories. Panic mode!!!
25/04 * 72.9 * movement in the right direction - no carbs for dinner lastnight. Drank more water but didn’t make it to target. Today I will aim for 1.5ltrs and will have no carbs for dinner again tonight - hoping the smallest changes will have the biggest impact (still in shock at the weight gain!)
26/04 * 72.4 *
27/04 * 72.1 *

How funny! Ending on the weight I started with! To be fair I am happy with that! Roll on next 10 days.. going to hit the gym today and get myself in feel good mode for the weekend so I start it feeling motivated!

End of Round 37
17/04: 167.4 Goals ✅ Hopefully, back on track

Round 38 (Round 30 for me. Female, 5'2" aged 71, weight in lbs)[/c]
18/04: 167.6 Goals ✅ What is it that makes us revert so easily to our old ways?
I have really been tightly back on track for the past week, and then last night we had a friend in for coffee and as we were chatting I suddenly realised that I had absentmindedly munched several of the biscuits hubby had put out with the coffee. (not sure exactly how many, lol! as we were having such a great chat.) Not going to beat myself up, but wondering how do we combat the old habits which just seem to lurk there, waiting until we are off-guard, to sabotage all our hard work?

Maybe all we can do is to be aware of it happening, and make sure that we stop as soon as we realise what we are doing. I am continually reminded that being fit and healthy has to be a life time commitment, and is not a quick fix.
19/04: 167.9 Goals ✅
20/04: 167.7 Goals ✅ Birthday today. I'm not going to use this as an excuse to go over the top. Goal is to eat a little, drink a little, and be merry a lot.
21/04: 167.2 Goals ✅ Spent my birthday in the garden enjoying the sun. A perfect pamper day.
22/04: 167.2 Goals ✅

Had an very active day yesterday out in the fresh air.
23/04: 167.0 Goals ✅
24/04: 166.7 Goals ✅ No time to post yesterday. Hoping this trend continues.
25/04: 166.8 Goals ✅ Aw, well! Something has gotta give eventually. Trust the process!
26/04: 166.8 Goals ✅ Steady as she goes.
27/04: 166.6 Goals ✅

I'm happy with this. Slow steady drops are sustainable. See y'all in Round 39.

Let's do this!!!

Don't worry!
... ...oO~ 167.9 ~Oo... ...

... ...oO~ 166.6. ~Oo... ...
Be Happy!!!

Wake up with DETERMINATION! Go to sleep with SATISFACTION!

Well I have finally reached the normal BMI weight range which tops at 132 for my height. It may look like I have lost a lot of weight this week but in the last 30 days I have lost 7.8 lbs, averaging a little less than 2 lbs a week. Had a big water retention gain of 3.4 lbs last week that came off this week. Now to work towards my goal weight range within the normal range. BMI charts recommend anywhere from 95/98 - 132... So I think i will try for somewhere in the 110-120 range, and see where I feel good and comfortable. Glad to be on this journey with you all.

4/18: 109.8kg/242.0lbs - Went to the football last night, we lost 3-1 but the atmosphere was amazing and I didn't buy a pie - winning. Starting to feel that I'm gaining a better relationship with food! Sidenote: I have wanted to be below 110kg for sooooo long, today is a great day.
4/19: 109.7kg/241.8lbs – A step in the right direction! Nice 11km run this morning, changed up my route and it was very scenic, got my breakfast and lunch meal prepped and off to the gym tonight! Refraining myself from finding a beer garden after work despite this weather being so nice!
4/20: 108.9kg/240.0lbs – Not feeling good today, had to cut this morning’s run very short as my stomach turned – shame really but I’ll try again on Sunday. Buzzing with this drop though – out for food and beers tonight so this will change.. (Also updated my HW as it was incorrect)
4/21: 109.1kg/240.5lbs – Feeling bloated, but the weather was lovely. Dragged myself on an 18km in the sunshine, time wasn’t great and I think I need to start looking at some energy gels to keep me going.
4/22: 108.1kg/238.3lbs – Expected a drop after such a long run, rest day today even had a couple of beers.
4/23: 108.4kg/239.0lbs – Monday, back to work and back to my meal preps. Lunch for the week consisting of: Lemon & Herb chicken, sticky rice, broccoli & sweetcorn. Gym tonight too. Good news also, my BMI has gone from Obese to overweight - WOOO.
4/24: 108.3kg/238.8lbs – Back down a little, a step in the right direction. 8km run this morning, gym tonight and then 16km tomorrow morning!
4/25: 108.2kg/238.5lbs – I like this, slow and steady wins the race! 16km this morning, legs are aching, no gym tonight and rest day tomorrow. I may eat pizza tonight..
4/26: 108.1kg/238.3lbs – 0.1kg down a day is fine by me! Rest day today then running 21km tomorrow morning. Just over 2 weeks until my half marathon!
4/27: 108.1kg/238.3lbs – Happy overall. Nice to have a steady round, not too dramatic. I also ran a half marathon before work today!! 2 weeks out from my actual half marathon. After crunchin numbers I have also just realised this is my 2nd best round to date – WOOOOO! Thanks for all your support as always.

Nothing works unless you have a sustained calorie deficit over time. Anything will work if you have a sustained calorie deficit over time.

Motivation is overrated. What you need is education, willingness to eat less, a good plan, and discipline to stick to it.

So I've done 4 rounds so far, and I'm pretty much back where I started! Time to get serious with working out, which I admit I have been neglecting. Still hoping to get back to 117lbs, despite my lack of progress

4/18 - 124.0
4/19 - 123.0
4/20 - 122.2 finally some movement down, but I'm not celebrating until it sticks around for a while

4/21 - 122.1
4/22 - 121.2 I'm thinking this can't last, and I'll get hit with an uptick tomorrow

4/23 - 121.2
4/24 - 121.3 three days at same weight, I think I finally broke through the plateau!
4/25 - 123.0 ugh
4/26 - 122.6 the up and down continues, but I'm sticking to the plan
4/27 - 122.4 that's progress I think, on to the next round!

4/18 215.3 here we go again…..good luck, everyone!
4/19 214.4
4/20 214.0
4/21 213.6 Still doing good. No mindless snacking…that’s what would always sabotage any weight loss for me. That, and eating way too much at mealtimes. Paying attention to how much I’m actually eating makes a big difference. Also, making healthier choices of what I eat. Have a good weekend, all!
4/22 212.6
4/23 211.8 I’m surprised my weight is down again today. I figured it was time for it to hold steady for a few days before beginning that downward trend again. Nevertheless….I’ll take it. Just finished a cup of tea and some plain Greek yogurt for breakfast. Does anyone else notice that when you miss breakfast for whatever reason, you’re not as hungry during the day then on days that you eat breakfast? Yesterday I had a cup of tea in AM, but didn’t have time to eat before I had to leave. Wasn’t hungry until early afternoon. But when I do eat something for breakfast, I’m usually thinking about lunch by 11 AM and find it more difficult not to want to eat a whole lot more throughout the day. I wonder why that is?
4/24 211.6
4/25 210.7 Doing a happy dance! Today marks 3 weeks on MFP and I’ve lost my first 10 pounds! Mostly it hasn’t been too difficult, but there have been a few times I really wanted to give in to the urge to splurge and just pig out. Anyway, keep up the good fight, everyone. It is so worth it!
4/26 210.5
4/27 210.0 Good ending to my second 10 day challenge. Beat my goal weight for this challenge. For me, it’s all about portion size…and making better decisions on what and when to eat. On to the next challenge….see you all there!

4/23 - 187.1
4/24 - 185.6 - I drank a ton of water yesterday, but my food choices weren’t perfect. I did go to the grocery store to get more fruits and veggies for snacks. Hopefully, that will help with the after work snack.
4/25 - 185.1 - I'm still headed in the right direction even though I wasn't that great about eating healthy yesterday. I forgot my lunch and didn't have time for breakfast so by the end of the day I was ready to eat everything in front of me. Today is a new day, hopefully, tomorrow will continue the downward trend.
4/26 - 184.7 - Ok, I'm not going to complain about that. Unfortunately, I broke my toe yesterday because walking gracefully has never been my strength. Dr. wants me off my feet for 3-5 days so I'm not counting on losing much more but I'll try to stay hydrated and not feed my boredom with comfort food.
4/27 - 186.1 - Well that stinks but it’s ok, I’m still down. I know that it’s just water though. I will be away for the weekend, so I won’t have a scale but I’ll be back to weighing myself on Monday (maybe even Sunday night). I’m excited for round 39, I’ll be back to work and ready to start again!

OSW:188
CSW: 186
CGW: 182
UGW: 138

4/18: 186
4/19: 186
4/20: 186

4/21: 186, first day starting challenge. First challenge for me. Need to find another accountability tool that works for me. Hope this is it!

4/22: 184.3, Moved more yesterday and broke out the food scale. This is mostly water but I’ll take what I can get!

4/23: 181.7, Stuck to calorie goal and had a long hike yesterday. Feeling less bloated.

4/24: 181.2, walked over 16,000 steps, drank tons of water and went over calories but still dropped half a pound. Must have been at maintenance or near it and rest is water weight. Will try harder to stick to calories today because this water loss will come to an end soon.

4/25: 184.1, welp, I was within calorie range but know a lot has been water flux. Here’s the proof. Sigh.

4/26: 182.1, Woohoo! The downward trend continues even with a few blips. If I stay strong I should hit my goal tomorrow.

4/27: 180.1, Goal met and then some. Got 17,000 steps in yesterday in addition to my regular workout. Knowing today was the last day of the challenge was real motivation not to snack too much last night.

1988 high school graduation 185-190lbs
weight on 1/29/18 = 234.5
round 33 - start=215lbs end 202lbs
round 34 - start = 202 end 192.8lbs stomach empty and bone dry
round 35 - start = 192 end 196lbs
round 36 – 195lbs no change.
Round 37 194lbs start and finish but did see 192 for a couple days
4/18 – 196lbs – allowed myself a free for all day to end the free for all week. The next 10 days I plan on shifting from maintenance to weight loss program. Should drop 2-3 in the first days then a couple more by the end of 10 day challenge. 190lbs on or before 4/27 is my goal
4/19 – 195lbs – still predicting a quick drop if I don’t have adult beverages. Eat before logging and WOW does prime rib have a lot of calories. Homemade and worth every bite. Managed to ride bike for 30 minutes
4/20 – 194lbs – good thing lunch was on target. Eat 5 hotdogs at a gathering last night and had 1 to many cocktails! It’s a fishing weekend so I probably will not eat right the next 2 days
4/21 – 192lbs – eat kinda okay yesterday but didn’t plan on 2 pound change.
4/22 – 192lbs – not bad for a weekend. Hope the fish are biting this afternoon. had the last salmon in the freezer a week or so ago.
4/23 – 193lbs - to much sunshine out fishing lake Michigan, fell asleep in my chair till 6pm. Instead of cooking the fresh coho salmon I took the wife to chines buffet. Still full this morning. Salmon tonight!
4/24 – 192lbs – kinda not expected. Lots of snacks and beer on the boat last night. Only caught one brown trout, then had dinner after 10pm. Going to try hard to reach 190 yet this round even if only for the last day
4/25 – 193lbs – my bad eating habits as of lately are late night binge eating after a cocktail. Good thing I have been keeping my days in check or I would end right back at 235lbs.
4/26 – 195lbs – right back where I started. Yesterday after a kinda bad lunch the wife tells me we are going out for all u can eat shrimp. I got my moneys worth!!!!!!!!!!!!

4/27 - 194lbs. okay so maybe one pound down in 10 days. I can live with that. Good job everyone.

Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 38
