Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 50

R49--AW: 220.7 EW: 221.3

Goals:
1. Scheduled Activity 7/10 days
2. Get water in

Day/Weight/Comment
8/16--220.4. This is why I find weighing everyday very helpful. Looking back at my weight from last round I now know that water weight from my excessive carb snacking took 2 days to show up on the scale and 1 day to go away. Now for the next time this happens, because at some point it will happen again, I now know not to stress over the temporary water weight gain. Now tonight is dinner and a movie, so I know there will be a temporary gain, but to help reduce some of the water weight gain my game plan is to eat lighter before dinner, drink only water including during dinner, plan what I will eat for dinner ahead of time, and take the dog out for a walk when I get back from the movie (the air here is starting to clear up).
8/17--220.4 I am happy to say that other than taking 3 sips from my husband's drink at dinner, I did everything that I had planned to do. I didn't want to take the dog out for a walk after the movie, but then I knew that I had posted it here yesterday, so I went out for the walk and I am happy that I did. I call yesterday a NSV.

8/18--219.7 This morning I am going out to breakfast to one of my favorite breakfast places, but like my dinner and movie night 2 days ago, I have a plan. I am going to an early Kettlebell class before breakfast, I will go for a walk of at least 2 miles after breakfast, I will eat lighter for the rest of the day, and I will go for a walk and/or bike ride in the evening.

Round 50

Day/Weight/Comment
8/16 - 162.4lbs (I’ll take that )
8/17- 162lbs ( small lost but still a lost trying to stay positive. I hope to be in the 161s tomorrow)
8/18- 160.2lbs I weighed first thing this morning & was so happy to see this number. I was in disbelief & stepped off & on about 5 times no lie just to see the same number appear. But after 20 mins I decided to weigh again just to be sure 🙄 & it read 161.2lbs 😭 so I dont know which one to go by hoping the lower number is correct of course. So if the lower number is correct I’m officially down to pre pregnancy weight. But a huge goal for me will be to get out of the 60s because from grade 10(I think age 15/16) to 22 I been 160 - 165lbs. So it would be amazing to finally see number that’s not in the 60s

•8/16 - 187 - WOW. I haven't retained fluid like this for a while.
•8/17 - 185 - Okay, it's ON fluid retention. Drank my ACV & lemon water this morning and will be increasing my water consumption to 100+ ozs daily. I'll be drinking a cup of parsley tea later and will continue doing that every day until I don't feel like spongebarb any longer. And SLEEP! That's what my weight increase and this drop is from, not enough and a recoup. Getting there, still retaining. I also need to revise my food diary today. Acceptable foods that cause me no problems, but I need to not eat them at this time.

•8/18 - 185.6 - It's going to be a battle. I'm ready.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/16 155.2 Weak start as far as my eating yesterday for this challenge as I overindulged and did not track my meal last night, but it was good. I expect a bump up tomorrow from the carbs (rice, garlic bread, alcohol, ice cream)

8/17 156.2 Yesterday another wth day, ate well all day until after dinner toast with butter, ice cream, basically a binge. Not really sure what is going on, but if I had to guess I would say...I am feeling bored and am seeking "variety" through eating, plus that "full" feeling when you eat a lot of carbs. As I was eating the ice cream it didn't even taste that good or satisfy, but I finished it anyway. I guess it's why I am here. It's hard sometimes to deal with the relationship with food. It's not like we can go cold turkey and stop eating. One day at a time.

8/18 155 Woke up with a migraine- movies last night, popcorn. Eating still not good. Dairy causing breakouts. Headaches. Body is telling me.

8/16 - 182.6 - Fairly healthy day yesterday. Jonah requested burgers for supper so had cucumber slices and Pringles with it instead of fries.
8/17 - 182.4 - Good day again yesterday. Sure missing my walks because of the smoke in the air.
8/18 - 183.0 - well I wish we could just forget yesterday happened, but there is no honesty and accountability in that. I overate yesterday and made poor choices all day. I was tired from a sleepless night and craved so much junk. Even as I ordered both lunch and supper I was arguing with myself. Then I couldn’t force myself to exercise much even after paying to go swim. Oh well, today is a new day and I’m rested, lots to do today so that should help burn some off.

Close to a new decade! My workout buddy is back from her camping trip so the day has begun with a workout.

No idea why, did my work out, exceeded my step goal and was on target with calories. I am tired and grumpy today so will have to be on my guard re emotional eating.
8/18 180.4

I did eat a chocolate bar yesterday, but only one. I ate it slowly and enjoyed every bit and I stayed within my calories so yay me! In the past I ate chocolate bars the way other people smoked cigarettes, one before work, one at break, one before lunch, one or two after lunch etc etc, 7 or more in a day. So one and done is great.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

8/16 133.5 Soooo, the cat woke me at 4AM because he thought that was a good time for breakfast. I didn’t so was going to put him in his carrier. When I pivoted, the toe of my shoe caught in the grout line and we went down. I hit my ribs on the refrigerator and skinned one knee. Pretty sure I’m going to have a bruise but currently sitting with a well wrapped ice pack on my side. I don’t think anything is broken. I think Oskar is going to be restricted at night to the sewing room and bathroom in the future. (Master suite)
8/17 133.5 I slept in the recliner last night and got over 8 hours in spite of my sore ribs and ice pack. At lunch I ate French fries. They were perfectly cooked - crispy! I ate about 1/3 and gave the rest to Carl. I’m still in nutritional ketosis this morning so that’s good. We’ll see what the scale thinks tomorrow or Sunday!
8/18 136.0 (!) That’s what carbs do! I was hurting yesterday from my fall and ate 1/2 a pita with my Greek salad w/ gyro meat. The price I pay for 2 high carb days!

8/16 166.8 apparently my body likes this number lol. Ate 1200 calories last night ...right on the dot, never done that before. 80 min insanity and 2 liters of water. Overall a great day, no complaints. It has been two weeks since I last took my measurments so today I will have to do that

8/17 165.4 ate below my calorie goal but had a rest day with my exercise routine but did go on extra walks and did some HITT exercises for the first time. Drank 1 liter of water. Good day all in all.

8/18 164.8 my body is weird. I haven't seen a daily drop like this since my first round. Although I'm slightly skeptical because it happened so fast I'm still happy to see this number, even if it ends up being just for today. Ate under calories, exercised for an hour and drank 1 liter of water. I also took my measurment yesterday and in the past two weeks I lost an inch (everhwere). Not bad if I do say so myself. In-laws are coming for dinner tonight and although I will work hard to watch my portions, we will just have to see. *crosses fingers*

This round I’m just back from a trip. So happy that I did not gain. The credit for that is mostly due to family that I was visiting who all eat a lot of fresh vegetables. I tried to make good choices on my days where I was driving but that was so-so.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/16, Thursday – Last leg of my trip home, long smoky drive from mid Alberta to Kootenays in BC. At one point had one-lane traffic because of fire near the road but overall just hot with smoky haze.
8/17, Friday – 160.2 Did not gain in my couple of weeks away!! Headache and dead tired from all the driving so will take it easy for a couple of days but stay mindful on the eating.
8/18, Saturday – 160.6 Well, did not stay very mindful on the eating, ate chocolate almond spread on corn thins for an evening “snack” – not even supposed to eat in the evening because of invisible GERD. (Called “invisible” because the discomfort from it is so minor that you can ignore it but it does affect your esophagus over the long term.) I have a stressful wedding coming up in 2+ weeks and, of course, nothing to wear that is even close to suitable. Need to get my head in the right space so it doesn’t end up in emotional eating. I can do this. Going shopping today. There are very few options around here but I thought of one so will check that out. Could sew something but that is always iffy.

8/15 189.5* (* denotes weigh in on scale that is at the new house not my usual apartment scale)

8/16 - Thursday - 187.0* - As much as I'd like to base my goal of this number not yesterdays - I know that's not realistic. I didn't eat enough yesterday as it was too hot to cook and I didnt have an appetite either. I also weighed on not my scale again and tomorrow will be on my scale, so I'm taking all these numbers as data, but not very specific data. Like I said last round - more focus on my mental health these days. No lunch packed as I'm VERY in limbo - DH wants moes for lunch and I started panicking that it wasnt healthy and would cost too much. But guess what - it is what it is! So instead, I'm rejoicing that I get to eat a quesadilla and realizing that I already planned a little financial cushion this week because we need to eat and cooking thru this is not realistic. I definitely have a caloric cushion too because I've been undereating surprisingly these past few days.

8/17 - Friday - 189.0 - Moving day. Hot. Humid. Thunderstorms. Got it done. We are bruised and battered but I am in awe of what I accomplished. Saying thanks to my body for being the beast I forgot it could be. I did one season of heavy lifting way back when and would love to get back into it! I definitely didnt expect moving to make me love my body more but it did.

8/18 - Saturday - 186.5* - ate fried chicken after completing what felt like a heroic feat of a move. Unpacking some boxes today but taking it easy. Havent been sore like this in a long time but I don't mind one bit. a reminder of what I accomplished.

Starting over This is my 3rd Round, female, 65 years old, 5'6", live in the Pacific Northwest.

OSW: 266 lbs.
CSW: 259 lbs. 262.4
RSW: 254.4, 253.6 lbs. for now 262.4 lbs
CGW: as close as possible to 250 lbs.
IGW: 200 lbs
UGW: 150 lbs.

Round 48: Loss: 259-255.6 = -3.4 llbs?
Round 49: Loss: 258.4 (starting weight) -253.6 = 4.8 lbs,, 255.6 (ending weight from Round 48) - 253.6 = 2 lbs?
Total Loss so far: 5.5 lbs for all Rounds?

Day/Weight/Comment
8/16: 254.4
8/17: 254.2

8/18 262.4 I was having difficulty getting my old scale to work so we just bought a new scale. Bad news the new scale is weighing me much heavier. So I will be readjusting my weight up

. Disillusioning but when all is said and done I would rather have my true weight and know when I lose I am really losing. My old one got me through losing 40 lbs and gaining it back when I went back to full time work and commute. So really don't know what to say for my last 2 rounds. Can't tell whether I was losing or not. The good new is that I need a scale and to weigh daily and now I have one and can do that.

Day/Weight/Comment

8/16: 70.1 - Okay okay, I've been putting off posting here today because the number is higher than I would like. Pretty sure it's just a fluctuation, completely normal and nothing to worry about. I say: worrying. Anyway, an okay day yesterday. Ate fine, but had a packaged wrap for lunch and Chinese takeaway for dinner. Both salty and would which pretty much explain gain on the scales this morning. Takeaway is always hard to account for, so I hope that I've over estimated, but I could well have underestimated. Also did a bunch of scraping wallpaper glue off the walls which probably would burn some of those potentially extra calories but I have no idea how to log those, so I've not bothered. Can't believe I'm over half way through my maintenance week already.
8/17: 69.6 - Well, that's more like it, very much on track to maintain well this week. Difficult day yesterday, spent quite some time being very nervous about the interview I had today (it went well I think) and so food thoughts were not my top priority. Drank plenty of water in a hope of sorting out the saltiness of the previous day. Food wise, a slightly odd day. Not hungry at all in the morning, so had a protein bar I keep in my desk for snacks at around 10:30 (way later than normal). Then ate leftover takeaway with some rice for lunch, which felt like it should've been more filling than it was, but was enjoyable to eat. Then was ravenous when I got home and so ate what ended up being a modest sized dinner fairly early then wasn't very hungry for the rest of the evening. In fact I had to munch on a packet of crisps to get me close to my goal allowance. Still a little under, but only just.

8/18: 69.9 - A late weigh in, so was probably a little lower, but I stayed at a friend's so didn't have scales until I got home. I was expecting it to be a bad day yesterday with dinner and wine at my friend's, but then we skipped dessert as we weren't hungry and ended up only a little over my goal.

5. 10,000 steps per day. Mixed modes of exercise.
6. Lots of water, green tea daily, apple cider vinegar before carby meals.
7. Check my blood sugar daily for improvements.

MY STATS:
Original starting weight: 235 lbs. on 1/11/18

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

R49 SW= 185.4 EW= 182.8 -2.6 lbs Loss
R50 SW= 182.8 EW= TBD

Day/Weight/Comment

8/16 - 182.6 YESTERDAY’S STATS: 14 Net Carbs. 1269 / 2442 Calories Out. 8,771 Steps and 3.71 total miles. 12/13 (250) fitbit steps hours. Intermittent fasted 16:8

8/17 - 179.8 Whoosh……. Wow! Imagine if it really stuck! YESTERDAY’S STATS: 14 Net Carbs. 1061 Calories In / 3308 Calories Out. 15,370 total steps and 6.5 total miles for the day 13/13 (250 fitbit steps). I intermittent fasted 20:4

8/18 - 182.0 I finally hit the 170’s yesterday then this….the self-destructive sabotage. Spur of the moment restaurant dinner out following by an all night sweet binge. Disgusted that these moments continue to be a part of my journey. Keeping it honest here…. This is YESTERDAY’S STATS: 260 Net Carbs. 2753 Calories In / 2817 Calories Out. 15,311 total steps including a heavy work day and a 1.5 mile walk in my neighborhood after the huge dinner to try to limit the damage. 6.48 total miles for the, 13/13 (250) fitbit hours. Intermittent Fasted for 20:4. I do well on 16:8 but was busy again and by the time I could eat I was too hungry and went wild. Busy again today at work with lots of unexpected and demanding problems. The challenge is to try not to repeat yesterday’s mistakes and find the time to eat today at a reasonable hour.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/16 138.2 Got sick with what I think was food poisoning last night, still not at 100%. Scale will probably go back up tomorrow when I feel like I can eat again 🤢
8/17 138.8 I was able to eat again yesterday, and actually ended up getting chipotle last night. I’ve been doing so well not eating at home and not out, so was bummed I gave into temptation. However, after after the night I had before I gave myself a pass. Back to being hydrated and I’m shocked the scale didn’t go up more than it did. Pretty happy overall. 😊
8/18 138.4 I really tried to focus on drinking tons of water today. Stayed under my calories for the day, but generally had a lazy day at home cleaning the house.

Hoping to move to maintenance then, but we’ll see. If not, certainly by Jan 1st.
I have no idea what I should weigh LOL
It’s such a big mystery; What effect will this next pound have?

@MadisonMolly2017, What is your height again? 5'8" - 5'8.5" ? I'm 5'7.5" and a normal weight range for me is 135 lbs - 155lbs. So maybe your range is around 5lbs up? I say, get as low as you can and still be healthy, it's all good! Of course I want the lower number, but I GUESS I can accept 140. Lol. I went up and down that weight range until after my 2nd pregnancy at 33yo. Then I jumped to 165 and stayed there for 10 years.
And CONGRATS! on your weightloss!

@tiabirdie56
5’8.5”
Wrist measurement indicates Medium frame, as do narrow ankles & medium shoulder

Elbow bone measurement indicates: Large frame as do larger knee bone, large hip bone

BMI Range: 123.5 to 166.5 for 5’8.5”
So figuring:
123.5 would be small frame
166.5 large frame
Midway of 145 as medium frame

Doc says I’m medium-large frame:
Halfway between medium & large: 155.8

Wrist: 145
Elbow: 166.5
Sounds like 155 would be good.
(Perhaps even 150, with Never-Go-Over Maintenance Weight of 155)

I’ll go for 155 & see how tummy looks LOL
(It’s all about the tummy!)

Thanks so much!!

How did I already miss the start of this -- it's only my second round (and I started WAY late in the last round!) Oh well -- I know what I weighed each day (and it's not pretty! lol!)

SW: Aug. 2016 -- 152
LW: May 2017 -- 120
GW: probably around 120 -- but I'd love to try to get even lower -- I must admit!
CW: When I weighed in on 8/15 I think I was 127.3....

Day/Weight/Comment
8/16 126.5 -- YES! Lowest weight in a year...so happy .... oh oh -- son is coming home for weekend before he
starts college for fall semester and that means lots of company and probably pizza....

8/17 127.1 -- creeping back up....oh no!

8/18 128.5 -- OH NO! So, this happens when you eat FOUR SLICES OF PIZZA late at night. What was I thinking?? (Well, it was thin crust and covered with arugula.) Anyway, I went to a 75 min. power yoga class this morning (after weighing in....) -- I do Baptiste yoga and it's done in a studio heated to 92 degrees -- we SWEAT -- which is good. Like I said in round 49 -- Do something that makes you sweat everyday.... trying to go down in pounds, not up!
