Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 40

Day/Weight/Comment:

5/08 199.4 morning workout done
5/09 199 going to start today with a long walk - I've noticed i feel less hungry on days when I get more exercise. Don't quite understand that. I don't eat back my exercise calories - but it's a win win so I'll take it !
5/10 199 Yesterday was a beautiful day, lots of walking in the sunshine - and a 3 hour choir practice.
5/11 198.8 if slow and steady truly wins the race - I'm in contention.
5/12 198.8 I'm happy with that. Didn't eat as well yesterday. One of my students brought me homemade cranberry and orange scones. Delicious! but, over my calorie and carb goals and now I am having carb cravings. Must stay focused today!

•5/8 - 203.2 - Smh. Once again retaining water. I reach a lower weight and my body won't let me enjoy it more than one day.
•5/9 - 203.2
•5/10 - 202.4 - My weight adventure. Still retaining fluid.

•5/11 - 201.2 - No comment on this number until tomorrow.

•5/12 - 202 - Had another small decrease in bodyfat. I don't know about accuracy on a body composition scale, but it does give insight to changes in fat/water percentages. I've noticed that when my weight drops and I've lost a bit of fat, the water% goes up. The scales tale behind the whoosh?

So, don't get discouraged if you're doing everything right for yourself. Your body is doing its job keeping everything in balance. It doesn't care if you're frustrated. Your weight is fat, fluid, skin, bone, muscle.

Female, 35, 5’6”
Starting weight: 158.2
Goal #1: 150
Ultimate Goal: 135

5/08 – 158.2 I’ve been losing weight for a little bit now, but this is my first time participating in this challenge so I’m going to pretend like it’s day 1 of my weight loss journey. I’m looking forward to the accountability this will provide!
5/09 – 158.6 Yesterday was not a good day on the eating front! I don’t know why I bought that bag of Starbursts, but it was a definitely a mistake. Not doing that again. If I have to have Starbursts, I’ll stick with the smaller packs. It’s a brand new day though and I’m excited about getting back on track.
5/10 – 158.8 I got back on track, but the scale didn’t get the memo! No worries.
5/11 – 159.4 Disappointing after doing really well yesterday and the day before staying at my calorie goal. I might try lowering my carbs today to see if that gets things moving in the right direction.

I'm considering this round a pivot point since it ends on our move-into-new-house day. I've been lax in my calorie limits, and that's going to stop. I've reset my allowance and am dropping most bread from my diet. I'm also finally getting back to regular walks and weight training. I'm not keen on weight goals since I can't control the scale, but I'm determined to stick to my eating and exercise goals now and will hope to drop a pound per round (3/month) with an eye to hitting my UGW by early December.

Goals:
Weight ~~ UGW - 130; looking for indefinite downward trend each round, ideally 1 pound/round.
Food ~~ 1350 calories max (estimated TDEE); P 15-25%, C 35-50%, F 30-45%

Weight 2/2015 - 218
Lost 68#, regained 12 (to 156) on metabolism reset 11/16-6/17.
Spoiler
R39 end weight 149.8; averages -- calories 1753.5; carbs ~47%; protein ~20%; fat ~33%

Day/Weight/Calories Day Before (aiming for 1350 starting 5-8)/Comment

5/8 - 150.8 - 1647 (10-day ave 1791)
First day, new round, revised approach. I'm up a little, no surprise, but I've finally shaken off this horrible cold and most of the cough, so I feel more like walking/exercising. Yay! Happy to see you all!

5/9 - 150.6 - 1256 (10-day ave 1732)
Good day yesterday! I cut my calories without feeling deprived, went for two lovely walks, and started packing. Feeling very positive - and the sunny morning doesn't hurt!

5/10 - 150.6 - 1315 (10-day ave 1653)
A little disappointed not to see a drop but, in fairness, it's only been 2 days since I cut back after a week + of higher calories and my 10-day average is still higher than it should be, so the drop will come. I feel much more in control.

5/11- 150.5 - 1505 (10-day ave 1605)
We were invited to brunch yesterday and I had no idea the strata she served was VERY high in calories - over 900/serving :-( until she sent me the recipe later. Yike! So I went a little over my goal yesterday, although not too bad - 155. Back on track today, although we'll be going out for dinner as our house closing is at 4 o'clock. But I'll watch it!

I'm in! Goal for this round is to try to get more water (I'm terrible about that), and hopefully lose a pound.

R39 164.8 --> 162.2 (-2.6)

Date - Weight (Comment)

5/08 - 162.6 (A bit up from yesterday, but enh, that happens.)

5/09 - 162.2 (Yesterday wasn't a fab day - not horrible, just not my best - and so I'm surprised to see it go down. No complaints though, lol.)

5/10 - 162.4 (Apparently we're just gonna hang out right around this weight for a few days. And I have a sneaking suspicion why.)

5/11 - 162.4 (Suspicion confirmed. Now to not let it get the better of me when deciding what to eat. LOL)

I didn't realize until a few minutes ago that I'm more than 50 lbs down from my heaviest weight (January 2015). When I see 190 again, my weight will be lower than it's been since high school. Life is working, and I'm just going to take another moment to thank everyone here for everything. This place has allowed me to sit with whatever it is that's been bothering me. It's given me space to really examine how I've been living my life, especially the pattern(s) that have been derailing me from previous success. I feel so much more prepared to deal with life than I was a few months ago, and this group has everything to do with that. I'm blessed to have you in my life, and I love each and every one of you.

Age: 46
Height 5’11”
Historical SW (January 2015): 245 lbs
Recent SW: 220.0 lbs (1/14/18)
Ultimate GW: 189.8 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)
R34 SW = 207.4 EW = 206.6 (-0.8) AW = 206.6 (-1.6)
R35 SW = 206.6 EW = 204.2 (-2.4) AW = 204.1 (-2.5)
R36 SW = 204.1 EW = 207.4 (+3.3) AW = 203.9 (-0.2)
R37 SW = 207.4 EW = 202.0 (-5.4) AW = 203.5 (-0.4)
R38 SW = 202.0 EW = 196.8 (-5.2) AW = 197.1 (-6.4)
R39 SW = 196.8 EW = 194.2 (-2.6) AW = 195.8 (-1.3)

Total loss (since 1/14/18, but before this round): 25.8 lbs
Average weight loss per round: 2.28 lbs

R40 SW = 194.2
Goal for this round: 193.0

Day/Weight/Comment

5/8 = 194.0 (-0 2). I finally went shopping on Sunday night, and I actually food prepped last night. I made a sausage and pepper soup (delicious) and a bacon frittata (also delicious). Tonight I'm getting some new cookware that I need in order to finish my food prep: a chicken casserole thingy. Lots of work getting it done, but it felt good. And it's great not having to stress about where I'm getting my next meal. And it tastes good!!! 4 more days until I can resume basketball/lifting weights, but I might cheat a couple of days early and play Thursday.

5/9 = 194.2 (+0.2). I stayed "on plan" last night, but impulsively had another serving of dinner. And then a little bit of dark chocolate. I was on-target with carbs, but over everywhere else. Snacked a bit to much during the day, which left me with very little wiggle room at the end of the night. I really wasn't hungry; it was impulsive. Moment noted. I'm not going to dwell. My tattoo is looking/feeling pretty healed. I'm going to take a pic of it, send it to my artist, and ask for permission to play basketball tomorrow. Focusing on avoiding snacking when I'm not hungry today.

5/10 = 193.6 (-0.6). A tiny WHOOSH™. I literally overate slightly last night, so there's no other explanation. Overeating slightly is eating my prepared food, and then my wife comes home and says she wants tacos (which includes fresh chips and guac) from a local place. I get a skirt steak burrito with no refried beans and extra steak. I throw away the tortilla, throw some guac on top, and that was my snack. I also had lunch out for my friend's birthday, and had a salad with tuna salad, avocado, and Caesar dressing. Everything I ate for the day was Keto-friendly. It is getting easier. It really feels like I can do this long-term. I'm playing basketball tonight!!! And lifting weights.

5/11 = 192.6 (-1.0). A regular ole' WHOOSH­™. I don't understand it, but I'll take it. I drove about 30 minutes to play basketball last night after lifting weights, and the high school I play at apparently decided to setup the gym with tables and chairs for something, so no basketball last night. Infuriating. I was out in the field for work yesterday and decided to stop at Panda Express for lunch. I made the mistake of not checking carbs before eating my food; I now know that Teriyaki Chicken (with no sauce) has 11 carbs, and whatever the Steak option is has 16 carbs. I probably ingested less carbs than that; I didn't eat all the vegetables in my steak dish (only the ones I know are Keto-friendly), and I pretty much ignored my vegetable side. It was an important lesson, though; trust no one! Plus, if I'm being honest, I did some math in my head when I was ordering, and I probably should have figured it out. I knew total calories, I knew protein content, and I could have probably extrapolated the fat/carb macros. Not to mention I could have just plugged everything in to one of my handy dandy apps that does all that crap for me automatically. Anyhoo... I ate great the rest of the day (ended up with 36 net carbs), so the damage was minimized, but YEAH. And somehow I still dropped a pound. On a side note, my wife is getting jealous at my continued weight loss. I'm trying not to influence her directly in any way (which is unusual for me), but I think she's coming around to it on her own.

5/10 500.8- I think I am being a bit too hard on myself while wishing I had lost more than just a pound. I did so good yesterday and I am proud of myself for that. Let's do great again today!

I think you have a great point here. You're definitely being too hard on yourself.

At some point in your experience you might even enjoy a day when your weight stays the same (when you didn't expect that to happen). You've embarked on a journey, and you're doing great. Enjoy your "streaks" (like this one) when you lose weight every day for a bunch of days in a row. Pay attention to plateaus (or unpleasant surprises in the other direction), and recognize them as opportunities to reflect on what you've been doing, to identify potential issues that might be holding you back, so that you can keep moving forward.

This is going to be a long journey. We're with you. Being here and staying accountable EVERY DAY has been life-changing for me. I hope it will be for you, too.

This is my first round. I Started dieting last may lost 22 kg before desember. Then I stopped logging. Didnt gain before easter. And then I guess I just thought hey I have masterd this I can just eat without thinking because now I know what is enough. But I guess I was thinking more about what I was eating before easter because 5 kg jumped on so I am back to logging.

First Round!

OSW - 186 (March 2018)

5/08 174 - I’ve been stuck between 173 and 175 for 2 weeks. I hope this helps get me to 172.5
5/09 172 - Well that was quick, but knowing my body and my scale, I'll bet I go back up tomorrow.
5/10 172.5 - As expected, I'm a little up this morning. But as long as I can end this round at 172 or 172.5, I'll count this round as a win!
5/11 173.5 - After I cursed at the scale this morning, since I have stayed on plan all week, I threw on a pair of pants I haven't worn in about a month. I knew right away they felt different. Lo and behold, I didn't have my little muffin top! It will be these little things that keep me going through these plateaus.
5/12 172.5 - I'm happy with this. I had pizza for supper tonight so we'll see if the sodium causes a problem tomorrow. I'm still within my calorie limit.
