JUST GIVE 10 DAYS - ROUND 42

wellnfree · June 2018

I’m in. Was feeling so much slimmer – and then I looked at my weight report for the last year and realized I was 162 one year ago … so since Feb. I’ve lost the weight that I gained the 8 months previous. The reports don’t go back that far but I think that I joined when I was freaking out about hitting 160 in 2015. All of this just reminded me how much we adjust to a new “normal” and to a) realize I’m not slim, better than I was but still much, much to go, so don’t get sloppy in my new habits b) celebrate the little victories but also keep an eye on the long term goal.
3rd Round: Female 65, height – 5’
Round 39 (1st for me) – SW 163, EW 162.8
Round 40 – on holidays
Round 41 – SW 164.4, EW 162.4
Round 42 - SW: 162.6, GW 161, UGW 128

Day/Weight/Comment
5/28 - 162.6
5/29 – 162.4 Didn’t do all that great yesterday as is usual with an errand day but did go to the gym
5/30 - 163
5/31 - 162.8 Glad it is not worse. Two more high stress days with lots of running around & internal wondering how to get everything done at home before going on another trip.
6/01 – 162.4 Home all day today except for gym. Yay!

May:
28: Vacation
29: Vacation
30: We had an 18-hour delay on our flight because of storms in Minneapolis. I ended up spending 9 hours on a plane, only to land back in Denver where we started. Slept at the airport, and finally made in all the way home at 11pm. I did really, really well with intuitive eating until living at the airport and on planes for so long.
31: I didn't weight in. Spent the day in bed until about 1:30pm. Holy jet lag!
June:
1: 203.4... Up 2 pounds since my vacation started. I imagine it's all water weight. There was not sufficient access to water on the 3 flights it took to get home, and I certainly didn't get enough yesterday because of sleeping so much. Back into a normal flow today, so tomorrow's weight should reflect that.

wellnfree · June 2018

@back2cute That sounds like a good idea. I'm dying to get under the 162 mark and also have a lot of housework/yardwork to do. So if I'm careful with the calories maybe I can kill two birds with one stone. (Typed that idiom and realized how gruesome it is; guess if I was a farmer talking about crows, I'd feel that way.)

5/28 - 187.8 - Well this was a surprise since the last 10 days nothing seemed to be happening.
5/29 - 189.4 - Such a frustrating process this is
5/30 - 190.8 - Yesterday was a crap day, I met a guy for lunch I used to work with, who has successfully lost and is maintaining a 60 lb loss. The problem is he insists on KFC. He plans for it every Tuesday. He told me yesterday that is his big meal of the day. He works 12 hour shifts 5AM to 5PM so he goes to bed around 7 each night to be ready for his long day, so he is fasting from 3pm until around 7am the next day. I find KFC doesn't fill me, I am always hungry a couple hours after I eat it. I did go for two walks to burn off some calories but not enough.
5/31- 189.6 - well going in the right direction again.
6/01 - 188.2 - Pleasantly surprised again.

amfmmama · June 2018

I started this challenge at round 27, at 227.8. I ended round 38 at 194. That is a 33 pound loss! I love this challenge! It goes against everything I USED to believe about weighing in daily, and has taught me to really listen to my body, not get discouraged by small set backs, and to celebrate the small victories!

So I stayed in the 180's in the last round barely. I totally missed the last few days of the last challenge, weighed my self everyday, and truly thought I had recorded it LOL until I looked today. I think this time of year, truly is TOO busy. But, I am back and ready to go!

I'm putting the Keto experiment on hold because, in a lot of ways, I'm not feeling all that good right now. I'm going to stay at a much lower carb intake, integrating some fruits and vegetables while continuing to focus on eating healthy fats (instead of the crap I used to eat). I'm going to stay away from processed sweets and crappy processed snack foods.

Age: 46
Height 5’11”
Historical SW (January 2015): 245 lbs
Recent SW: 220.0 lbs (1/14/18)
Ultimate GW: 185 lbs (and 12% body fat)

R28 SW = 220.0 EW = 219.8 (-0.2) AW = 220.2 (+0.2)

R41 SW = 192.6 EW = 194.0 (+1.4) AW = 193.7 (+0.4)

Total loss (since 1/14/18, but before this round): 26.0 lbs
Average weight loss per round: 1.95 lbs

R42 SW = 194.0, SBF% = 15.5
Goals for this round: maintain current weight (do not go over 195) as I take as break from from Keto. Track my BF% consistently.

Day/Weight/Comment

5/28 = 192.2 (-1.8), BF% = 15.5. I got started a little later than usual today, so this might not be perfectly accurate, but it should be pretty close. Last night wasn't impulsive. I'm definitely taking a break from Keto. I'm trying to decide which carb number I should shoot for. I'm thinking 100, but I'm going to do some reading. I wasn't very consistent last round with tracking my body fat percentage. I'm going to commit to tracking it every day.

5/29 = 194.2 (+2.0), BF% = 15.7. Got a little too "snacky" yesterday. Ate when I wasn't hungry. Allowed myself to eat a couple of things I haven't been able to eat in the past few weeks. Went about 300 calories over maintenance. That being said, as mentioned yesterday, my weight likely wasn't all that accurate when I weighed myself yesterday (weighed myself at the "correct time" today). My goal for today is to remember only to eat when I feel hungry. I tracked everything yesterday, so that was good. I'm feeling okay. This is actually not feeling like a cause for alarm. Rather, it's a signal that I need to be paying attention to how I'm feeling and what I'm eating right now.

5/30 = 193.8 (-0.4), BF% = 15.6. I was much more under control yesterday. Ate with my macros, no crazy binges, stayed away from sweets for the most part (and slightly under calories). I decided to adjust my weekly goal to 1/2 a pound per week (from 1 pound), as I'm getting pretty close to my goal weight.

5/31 = 193.8 (no change), BF% = 15.6. I felt like I ate a little heavy during yesterday, but after tracking everything I think I was slightly below maintenance. I had a fantastic dinner that I normally would have completely scarfed in one sitting. This time, however, I ate half of it, I did it mindfully, and I have half of it today for either lunch or dinner (probably dinner). I have basketball tonight for the first time in a week, and I'm going to go to the gym as well. I feel pretty good that I have been able to maintain since putting Keto on hold, particularly since I haven't worked out for the past week. Full disclosure regarding my decision to put Keto on hold; it actually didn't feel that hard to do. While that's generally a good thing, I tend to get into a groove when something is working well, which makes me less vigilant/questioning. I have some questions regarding the long-term health effects of the Keto lifestyle, and I need to do some reading before I get back into it. Can you remind me of some of your favorite Keto resources @quiltingjaine ?

6/01 = 194.4 (+0.6), BF% = 15.7. I'm not 100% sure why my weight is up a bit, but I'm going shopping today to get my butt back on Keto. "The Magic Pill" was pretty damned inspiring. Played basketball last night and went to the gym, and get pretty good at both. My back signed up a bit, though it feels okay this morning.

@cyndiesstuff
I know how scary that can feel.
When this happens to me, I ask myself a few things:

Am I getting enough sleep?
Warm bath, some relaxing music, & an extra blanket help me drift off.

Am I stressed out? Too busy? Anxious? Lonely?
Then I clear calendar if possible, go for a stroll to release some good-feeling endorphins, and call a friend if I’m lonely.

Have I been eating a large breakfast?
If not, I immediately make that change. Studies show overweight women lose more weight AND more belly fat AND have lower blood glucose if they eat 700 calories BF, 500 Lunch, 200 Dinner (if they are on 1400 cal diet) than women who eat typical American pattern: 200 breakfast, 500 lunch, 700 dinner.
My big ah-ha when I switched to this was to eat some “dinner-y” foods at breakfast which worked great.
I find this method curbs my lifelong afternoon hunger and huge dinner habit.
Best part is the increased energy & you burn more of the calories!!

Finally, I ask myself what is one thing you’ve dine for yourself today. 29 months ago & 59 lbs heavier, I had only one answer: eating out WAS, in my mind, my Self-Care. Now, I focus on non-food self-care. Pick some flowers or eat your breakfast outside on a gorgeous plate from Goodwill!! Bubble or Epsom baths with a fun magazine or YouTube videos!

You CAN do this.

#41: 135.0 - 133.6 = -1.4
-9 lbs since I joined our challenge.

Day/Weight/Comment

5/28: 133.6, came down with a pre-summer cold. Feel poopy and too tired to cook. Thank goodness I have no snack foods in my home.

5/29: 133.6, worked my 10 hour shift and felt okay. The I’m tired cravings did get to me, unfortunately, resulting on 6 mini Reese’s PB cups and a 330 calorie packet of peanuts being consumed.

5/30: 134.2, Never go to the market when you are tired; chips and salsa magically appeared in my bag. Of course, I ate some.

5/31: 132.6, Great date last night, he cooked smoked salmon, sautéed summer squash, tomato and avocado salad, and fresh strawberries for dessert. Long walk on the beach after dinner and spur of the moment movie at the theater (no popcorn for us!)
I think this one’s keeper. Both on the same page for health and eating style.

6/01: 131.8, a good health day. Food was on target and did quite a bit of walking around.

jerier · June 2018

@AJB1014 I came across this site while researching: https://www.viome.com

They offer testing which is confidential and handled through the mail. Yes, it's spendy, but not a big issue for me since I'm dealing with unexplained physical issues such as small, persistent, and constantly itchy skin rash patches. I've been plagued with this for over 5 years and every doctor I've seen can't explain what it is. They can only prescribe treatment for symptoms. I don't want to live with corticosteroid creams which thin skin yet never cure the problem.

AJB1014 · June 2018

@jerier - Thank you so much! I also have patchy skin rashes (although not itchy) that no doctor can explain or cure! I think it may be candida overgrowth - thanks again for your insights!

@jerier Thank you for jogging my memory! It sounds as if you have eczema, something I’ve had for over 40 years. The doctor originally said it was stress related and I later learned it could be due to allergies. I just realized I haven’t had any patches of dry itchy skin since I started Keto! I don’t know which eliminated thing it was but another reason for me to stick with it!

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

5/28 136.5 WHOO HOO! Almost no carbs yesterday. Tracking again. It makes a difference. Almost 100 posts to read! Home from community picnic. One hamburger, one hotdog, a thin slice each of tomato and onion. I pinched a teeny bite of cookie from DH - 3 raisins and not much else!
5/29 137.5 Too much salt in the evening. This too shall pass.
5/30 137.5 Hurt my foot yesterday. A board fell over on it. Not a big board but it is swollen and bruised. I’m going to water fitness anyway and will see what I can do.
5/31 136.5 The bruise is fading but it still feels as if I’m walking on a cotton ball.
6/1 136.0 We took a road trip yesterday so I stayed off my foot most of the day. Swelling and bruise almost gone. Ate French fries yesterday, we’ll see if that causes a problem in a day or two!
