JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ Round 45

tiabirdie56 · June 2018

@puddlegoober, You brought back happy memories for me with DEFCON. My brothers and I would always rate "urgencies" at a Defcon level.

Jan 2016 SW: 228.3 BMI: 33.7
June 6, 2018 168.0 BMI: 24.8 ✅
Goal achieved! 2 years, 5 months, 6 days
New GW: 165.8 I’m a little shorter than I thought!

6/27 167.6 trend wt: 167.7 loss/wk 0.5
6/28 168.0 trend wt: 167.7 loss/wk 0.4
I finally hit goal #1 ✅ below (avg June at 168.4 which is the 2lb loss I was shooting for from May’s avg) I wasn’t sure I’d make it, but I am!

6/29 168.0 trend wt: 167.7 loss/wk 0.4

Adjusting to half the weight loss per month has been somewhat nerve-racking, but I’m gradually realizing that my tiny habits & routines as well as tracking & my groups in MFP are helping. More sleep is helping, too!

Eating with small or no deficit & continuing to boost length & intensity of daily long walks/hikes and upping the weights at Pilates. Focus: Health

Starting GW: 169 ✅
Revised GW: 168.6 [BMI Normal @ 5’9”] ✅
Next Goals: 1. Average weight for June 168.4 (-2lbs)✅
2. Average steps for June > 10K
3. 10-day trend moving avg decreasing or maintaining.
4. Reach 165.8 (s l o w l y) as I adjust to maintenance mentality.

OK, just saw Calculation for BMI=(703 x wt in lbs) divided by height in inches squared
5’9” - BMI 24...Weight 162.5
5’8.5” - BMI 24... wt: 160.1
Will think about this...after I get to 165.8!

Round 45/Round 1.5 for me

SW: 152.7
UGW: 125
RGW: 130/135
Weekly goal: lose one pound, exercise 6 days a week a minimum of 30 minutes. Minimum 30 minutes cardio daily.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27: 152.6 — The good news is that despite being gone 10 days traveling/vacationing I managed to get some good exercise in and I didn't gain, just left off where I was when I left. I'll take it! So glad to be back here, truly!
6/28: 151.8 — Nice to see a drop. Got lots of water yesterday and kept my carbs in check. Also quit eating at 6:45pm—no evening snacking or wine drinking, my downfall. Would love to see 149 by the end of this round, which means I really have to strategize my food and workouts.
6/29: 149.6 — I think my new strategy may be working…no food or alcohol after 6:30/6:45pm. Gallons of water each day. Trying to really focus on eating more protein which is something I’m not a natural at…..

Another awesome workout yesterday and ate within my budget. May not be able to get a workout in today but I’ll try to. Hoping the weight at least stays here for a bit and doesn’t go up.
6/29 - 121.2
Weighing machine was being weird and gave me a reading of 121.4 and then only 121 onwards. I’ll just average it out 😂
Yesterday was rest day, I ate well and did have rice but did not overeat. Looking forward to working out today.

@cjsacto, I like peanut butter, Lol. Well, nuts in general. I've been eating it lately just to top off some fat and protein calories to meet my macros. BUT there are times when I actually crave it and I know its because I need to take my B vitamins. I know I'm deficient. I've been taking B complex and B12 since I was 21 years old.

ROUND 3 FOR ME
Goals: 1. 3 lb loss to land in the 180’s (even if it’s hanging by edge of my teeth)
2. No Bingeing
3. No “cheat days” only “Earn days”. No “Earn Days” only “Earn Meals” which are much easier to bounce back from.
4. 10,000 steps per day. Mixed modes of exercise.
5. Lots of water, green tea daily, apple cider vinegar before carby meals.
6. Check my blood sugar daily for improvements.

R43 SW 193.8 EW 195.6 +1.8 lbs Gain
R44 SW 195.6 EW 192.4 - 3.2 lbs Loss

R45 SW 192.4 EW = TBD

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27 192.4 going out of town today so tomorrow’s weight is not going to be good. Started this challenge with a 1.5 mile walk after dinner and a total of over 9000 steps for the day. Ate fairly healthy though my carbs were a bit over. Calories were good.

6/28 194.6 I knew this would happen. Restaurants are my weakness for sure! So much better to eat at home when you can!

6/29 192.4 Walked 10,332 steps yesterday. Followed my keto low carb diet very well. Restrained from the late night bingeing, but it was difficult. Used 2 squares of 90% cacao chocolate as my compromise. Bitter but better than nothing. Logged well. Drank my water, vinegar and tea. My blood sugar numbers were fantastic so my body probably loves me right now. I am proud I made it through another day successfully and that the scale reflected my sacrifices.

CW: 82.5 kg (182 lbs)
UGW: 70 kg (154 lbs)
GW for this round: as close to 81 kg (178.5 lbs) as I can get but under 82 for sure

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27 82.5 kg (182 lbs) - this is actually slightly up from yesterday. Not surprising, as I had a work thing with drinks and also had 2 small but very high sodium fried snacks. Healthy main meals though.
6/28 82.6 kg - again, really slightly up although I was super strict with staying within my calories. Even weighed my tiny bowl of low-cal icecream for dessert. Gonna chalk this one up to natural fluctuations and/or maybe lack of water - must remember to hydrate!
6/29 82.2 kg (181.2 lbs) - better! Stayed within calories, ate very healthily, drank tons of water (was peeing ALL day) and killed it at the gym so have trouble walking now

but I'll take it! Now to not undo it over the weekend....
6/30 82.0 kg (180.7 lbs) - lowest I have been in a while. We had a friend plus kids over, and I had a couple of drinks, but watched what I ate so I guess the extra calories were offset by the fact that I had a very active day overall... BBQ tonight at other friends, but I am driving so not drinking - hope this will last!

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27:158.6 The day was fine, the night time was not. Snacking while watching tv is not good.
6/28:159 Didn't eat much today, hard to when the weather is 115 degrees. Did have 3.5 beers last night but I still managed to stay under my calories. I would not, however, recommend skipping food to have a drink. I am paying for it today, and for a lack of water intake, with a good ole headache, ugh. Tomorrow I want to get more water in.
6/29: 157.1 My daughter has a gymnastics competition today. Instead of counting on eating out and just blowing everything, I have planned a meal and am going to pack a cooler and take it with me. The kids and hubby can then get what they want and I will still stay on track! I am going to do this is time.
6/30: 157.7 So, I didn't manage to avoid the McDonalds last night. My daughters competition finished later than expected and by the time we were headed to eat I was STARVING and had no will power at all. I also had three beers with my husband!! But, I managed to only go 400 calories over, so it wasn't the end of the world.

SW: 71.9kg
GW: 70.9kg

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27: 71.9kg - Started off with a much larger breakfast than I'm used to so didn't have barely any calories left over for dinner, but dinner turned out to be less calories than expected so I only went over by a small amount
6/28: 71.9kg - Really good day generally, excluding when I got home from work and mindlessly found myself with a spoon in the nutella jar (this is the reason I don't normally have it in the house!)
6/29: 71.4kg - Very happy with myself for yesterday. Changed dinner plans and had a BBQ instead. Instead of eating all of the things, I forwent the burger and bun option and went for just the chicken, steak, and corn and was more than happy. And my OH bought custard slices which is my kryptonite. I checked the calories before cooking, and gave myself slightly more than I was going to have so it put me about 200kcals over my goal for the day (I have flexible goals, so this is just about acceptable considering my week) and I worked out what I could have still in that number. I have a problem with custard slices, which means I always eat both in the packet, but I only had one yesterday, and I was happy with it. And the meal completely killed my craving for takeaway I normally get at the end of the week (I can fit it into my calories) so I'm probably doing better for it than if I stuck with my original plan

6/30: 70.8 - Fairly sure I'm a little dehydrated this morning which is why I've had another big drop, completely expecting a rise tomorrow. Was completely killed at judo yesterday. Hot weather combined with the fact I'm still recovering from illness made it a tough one certainly. Really happy with how I ate though, and I got that second custard slice I saved from the previous day and was still within my allowance.

06/27 - 189.6
06/28 - 189.0 Yesterday I ate well, but didn’t finish my gallon of water. I also had two gin drinks at dinner, which I’m sure hasn’t helped. I did go out for a 4 mile run though and I’m off to the gym again, so hopefully I’ll continue this downward trend.
06/29 - 190.2 - Went for a four mile walk, but also went for a rain date Father’s Day lunch with my dad. Today’s goals- walk 4 miles and drink a gallon of water.
06/30 - 187.7 - YAY! I knew it would click eventually! I know that number is going to still go up and down throughout the 10 days but it's encouraging to finally see it on the scale!

6/27 - 154.6 - Up a little from yesterday but not worried, muscles are a little sore today from working out so might be holding on to some water, feeling a little heavy this morning. Food, water and steps were all good yesterday so not going to stress about this slight gain.

6/28 - 154.2

6/29 - 152.6 - whoop! whoop!!

6/30 - 152.6 - Now to not screw it up at the pig roast tonight. I've got this.

Newbie here as well! I'm going on holiday in 15 days so this should help get off a couple more pounds before I leave

Great job to everyone so far!!! You all seem to be killing it!!

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27: 257.6 - started intermediate fasting 23/1 yesterday for these 10 days. It's not something I would do all the time but wanted to change up my routine for a bit.
6/28: 256.8 - yesterday was good! I stuck with the fasting schedule, stayed under calories and got in a walk.
6/29: 256.8 - yesterday wasn't a great day. I couldn't stick with the fast, I had to eat after 20hrs...was just too hungry. I did get a walk in though and lots of water.
6/30: 254.8 - woke up with a stomach bug

This is my 2nd Round.

Round 44
Start Weight: 171
End Weight : 165.8
Total Lost: 5.2 lbs

Round 45 Goal: 163 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment

6/27: Weight = 165.8 Scale hasn't moved in 3 days...Will just keep doing what I'm doing and hope for a whoosh to be coming! Completed Day 8 of The Betty Rocker 30 Day Challenge yesterday which was an Abs workout and was under in calories for the day. My hamstrings are a bit tight today so I'm going to do some stretches and get in a short shake out run before today's Day 9 workout. This group really motivated me to stay committed the last round, hoping to do the same this round!

6/28: Weight = 165.4 Well, the scale finally moved a small bit down after 4 days, but not sure it is real. I had to get on and off a couple of times before this number showed up, the numbers were all over the place. I don't want to say it is discouraging, because it just motivates me more to stay committed but it is a bit of a bummer to not see any real progress so far this week. Exercise and food wise, yesterday was right on target. I was right on my calorie goal, hit my macros, went for a short run, completed day 10 of my exercise challenge which was a full body workout. I didn't have any gluten, diet cokes or alcohol & drank plenty of water. I still have a lot of pain in my calves, which I am pretty sure is DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness). I know those small muscle tears can retain water, so I am hopping that is the cause of the scale not going down. Today is a yoga day, thankfully! I'm also not going to have the protein powder I started using a couple of days ago, in my diet today. That's the only thing new I've added in this week, so maybe it could be the sneaky culprit

6/29 Weight = 165.4 Ugh!!! So frustrating! I don't think I have every tried to lose weight and had this happen. There had better be a huge Woosh in my future

The good news is the DOMS in my calves in lessening, so hopefully the scale will start to move again. Yesterday was a good day food wise, ate according to plan, hit my calories and my macros, IF 16:8, didn't have gluten, diet coke, or alcohol, and had plenty of water. I completed day 11 of my exercise challenge which was yoga and gave my sore legs a bit of a rest. It's hot here today, for the 1st time in a week or so (upper 90's) but still going to try to get a short run in and then do my cardio workout that is scheduled. Heading to the beach early tomorrow morning for a day trip, so will have to be up even earlier to get my workout in. Dreading the swimsuit.

6/30 Weight = 165.8 so that number is back, what a surprise *sarcasm* I bought a new scale yesterday and did a side by side weigh in and was .5 lbs higher on the new scale. This morning's weigh-in in on the new scale, so it would've been 165.3 on the old scale, which would've been a tiny loss. It is what it is. I ran yesterday outside in the hot hot heat, did my day 12 challenge which was cardio blast (jump squats and push ups ladders) and ate within my calories and macros + had a glass and half of red wine. I'm going to up my calories a little bit this upcoming week and see if that shakes anything up on the scale. Will I ever get out of the 165's??????? Headed to the beach now, and will have to really work hard to stay within my goals today food wise. Have a great Saturday everyone!

Rainy day today, but last evening I had a lovely long walk on our beautiful river greenway. Off to the weight room later. I'm feeling more optimistic about this round than I have in a while. Off we go!

My fat cells finally seem to be ready to let go. Yay! Finally! I'm planning a nice long walk this evening before the "hazardous heat" returns tomorrow, and we're going to try a new-to-us Ethiopian restaurant for lunch. Vegetarian injera platter for me! Yum!

06/29 - 148 - 1144 - 10-day ave 1326
Another day on which I didn't plan to go so low on calories, but even stuffing myself on Ehtiopian veggies, my big fat lunch cals were not much, and I just wasn't hungry until about 9, when I had an English muffin with peanutbutter.

06/30 - 148.6 - 1478 - 10-day ave 1356
That half lb is sodium & water - I had very salty red beans & rice for dinner. Uck. I drank about 6 glasses of water last night (and more during the day, of course), but even so.... We have another very hot day on the way, but that's ok - it is almost July! Have a great weekend, all.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27 188 woosh!

partly due to lots of fibre and partly due to sleeping in -now to make it stick
6/28 188.6 - patience is a virtue after all
6/29 DNW - up all night with depressed teenager - this is when my eating tends to go off the rails - will aim for maintenance today and log it all
6/30 189.8 Thanks for all the hugs yesterday. Yesterday was a WAM day. At first that was an acronym for wife and mother - which is what I put on my exercise calendar when caretaking takes all my time and energy for the day. (otherwise it's W for walk, WO for workout or R for rest) WAM is also nicely onomatopoeic for that feeling of being banged around by life. (The image in my head is like the old batman comics) Now it has a third meaning "work at maintenance" which is what I did. It is great to be able to cut yourself a little slack without it feeling like failure or cheating. My weight is up a little but that is most likely digestive issues.
