Round 46
Please join us! Starting on 07/06 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 46
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.
Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.
Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!
Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.
FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

Man! This last 12 lbs is hard to shift! This process is not a quick fix. Sometimes motivation flags, but to get/remain fit and healthy requires an permanent lifestyle change. Going back to old habits will produce the same result as before, and I'm not prepared to waste all the work I have put in over the last 3+ years to get fit and healthy. Butt kicking is in order.
THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieve permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

SW 06/22/2018: 106.2
Goal weight: 103.8 # (or less )
Age: 47YO Female with Hypo.

June Notes:
In June I had one day where I weighed in at 104.4. with this 10 day round, my goal is doable.
In June I realized that my habit of grabbing a protein bar is probably not serving me very well. While it tastes great, it is not satisfying a craving, I eat it because it tastes awesome.
And when I finish the bar, I typically yearn for more. Thus, this bar is highly processed, right?!?! 
Because if it were a serving of snap peas...who'd be saying after 200 calories of them that they just wanted to eat 4 more servings. 
no one! So, I'm going to practice NOT having the bar. AND I'm going to practice having a 30min lunch window for eating so that I don't snack ALL afternoon.
I am monitoring my behaviors by writing down how I feel before I eat, after I eat and stuff like that.
+ How will this food make me feel
+ After I eat : What is my mood? My energy Level ? Cravings? hunger?
+ When I go to bed, will I be stressing about this food?

@shexio I like your final point there " When I go to bed, will I be stressing about this food?" The temporary bliss is not worth it if it means not being able to sleep! I will try to remember that.
