Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 50

@heymossy hang in there. It will start moving again soon.
@SheilaBoneham I buy the whole curcumin roots and grate them into my food which seems less expensive plus I know for sure I am getting the active ingredients. Also I drink plenty of ginger tea made from fresh roots to try and keep the inflammation down. It is no where near as fast or strong as the prednisone of course but so far it has worked. The biggest thing that has helped long term is finding ways to control my thoughts and mental stresses. You are fortunate to have found a dr. Who is willing to work with you. My rheumatologist is all about the drugs.5 -
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.
8/19
8/20, Monday – 160 I don’t think I deserve this, but I will take it and try to keep it! Yesterday was definitely a zombie day with erratic eating. Always takes me awhile to get back to normal after a long trip so I’ve learned to be patient with myself, do what I can, and know that my energy will come back once I get enough rest. Shopping trip was a partial success, found a sheer overshirt in a small designer’s shop where they alter for free. Not cheap but no worse than the big chain stores.
8/21, Tuesday – 159.8 So happy with this. I have not seen this number in at least a couple of years. Hope that I’ve left the 160’s behind forever.

8/16 / 248.8 / Rolled back into my town last night. The drive from Alaska was wonderful, but obviously a lot of sitting on my kiester. I did eat to plan about 70% of the time. I figure these 3.4 pounds should come off pretty easily, and then it will be back to the grind.

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.
8/19 154.2 Stayed down most of yesterday recovering from the migraine, it's so strange how our bodies choose to let go of weight. I have had a "bad" week so far eating macros and over calories, yet I am now dropping. Just another lesson to trust the process and stay the course. I am not beating myself up for induging, because I am not on a diet. I am merely making smarter choices with occasional treats. My whole life I have done the yoyo, though this is the highest (171) I let myself go. Where I usually run into problems is not in losing the weight, that is the easy part. The hard part is when I am thin and I think I can just eat whatever I want. And there it comes back again. The only time I really maintained was when I was a runner, though I lacked tone. I have not gotten myself active again though it is necessary as part of the whole picture, but school starts next Tuesday so there will be no more excuses then!
8/20 Weigh in Day 154.6 Down 1 lb since last weigh in. I found some notes from 2009 with my weight and measurements, I weighed 147 and am curious to see what my measurements will be now 9 years later when I reach that number. I better get my butt moving if I want to match or beat them since for sure I was running back then!
8/21 154.4 Just another day. I started tracking my migraines in my fitbit app so I can maybe finally see what the triggers are. (other than overthinking induced)

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
8/19- 162lbs😒 hmm I was feeling so disappointed when I saw this number this morning. Earlier today not so good, I ate things I knew I shouldn’t have. But I did manage to stop myself from binge eating. For dinner I’m going to take things light with chicken and some steamed veggies. Hope I’m back down tomorrow.
8/20-162lbs tired of seeing this number getting a bit discouraged to getting at my goal of 158lbs at the end of the round. Hopefully I see progress tomorrow.
8/21- 162lbs hoping for a miracle to get me back on track

Good job to everyone15 -
-68.1 in 963 days 37 days until my 1,000th day!
(1 lb every 14 days on avg)_
-44.8 of them since Sept 27, 2017 (328 days)
(1 lb every 7.3 days on avg.)
Micro changes in habits each week create magic!
Daily exercise - even a mild stroll- makes a big difference...
When you most feel like giving up, and you keep going, that’s when the scale really drops!
I had given up on dieting, and had forgotten completely how good it feels to be lighter. Everything is easier and pain free. A miracle.

Unbelievable.
I can’t quite remember my lowest weight over the years when I dieted, but I know I’ve never gotten below 160 in my adult life.
0.3 to go until I’m in the 150’s, which I plan to be in for the rest of my life. A slow, long journey (on purpose), but so worth it, as I’ve developed so many micro habits gradually.
The key for me: I wasn’t addicted to food; I was addicted to eating out. It took me about 18 months to g r a d u a l l y reduce that to 2 times a week & 22 months to kick it completely. Then the weight really began to drop off.

@quiltingjaine You are probably right, I have never been a thirsty person (I drink coffee in the morning and water the rest of the day, nothing else) I have always had a hard time with water in take.
I also took into consideration that after I worked out, I couldn't go to sleep right away, so i finally fell asleep around 3 15 am and I wake up ten to seven. I'm sure the lack of sleep has a little to do with it as well.
@jerier thanks for the info, I will keep that in mind3 -

8/16 - 147. Post and run today, but I'll be back later tonight to read all of the posts ahead of mine. I started SL 5x5 this week with the tiniest amount of weight on my barbell and did my second session last night. Looking forward to getting stronger and adding more weight to my lifts.
8/17 - 146. Happy to see the lower number, I can get back into most of my big clothes now and am wearing a pair of jeans today that I haven't worn in a year. Oops, I'd even outgrown my larger sizes there for a bit! The clothes that currently fit me are the hardest worn, it's the size that I never want to shop. I bought 5 pairs of even larger pants near the beginning of round 47 (round 1 for me) and now they are all loose.
8/18 - 147. Quick weigh in the morning, then away from computer and scale for the weekend. Lovely day at the lake.
8/19 -147. Away from scale and computer. Visited my parents' house and my city pup forgot everything he'd ever learned about acting civilized. He ran, he barked, he lunged at birds, and rolled in smelly stuff. He ate a shrew, a plum (complete with pit) and who knows what else that he found on the ground. Normally, being at mom's house equates with lots of mindless snacking for me. I guess the pup took on that role for me this time! Haha.
8/20 - 147. This number is starting to feel familiar. Counting it as a victory to be out of town for the weekend, not feel deprived, and not gain.
8/21 - 146. Let's see if it sticks this time!

21/08: 205.6 lbs … okay, so eating out for 2 weeks = water weight I guess!!
22/08: 205.2 lbs … YES!
23/08: I really want to see that 5 again! *fingers crossed*
24/08:
25/08: *goal: 205.x*
Looking for a general downward trend. Really focused on my logging, and on clean eating, and MOVING more - which is what I love - it gives me ENERGY!
I am SO SO determined!! I 100% NEED to stay mindful about my daily logging and being mindful about what I eat and drink. I need to get into the HEALTHY BMI band.
This is a long term thing, a few bad days or weeks is something I'm getting better at coping with.

8/16- Did to much outside, and made my face swell I am having a hard time cutting down from steroids. Walking helps alot!
8/17- My steps were down today. Lack of sleep has been hard on me. I start my cut backs again so I don't take one steroid today and then tomorrow I take one they are very hard on me. I can hardly wait to be done with them.
8/18 - Still having a rough day! Goal for tomorrow going, outdoor a long walk! I don't know if cutting back steroids is making me swell n my face. But I have to go Monday to the doctors.

8/20_ Went to the Cancer Hospital today had an appointment with my team doctor, I am doing 100%. She said I owe to keeping up with my normal day, Started my treatments the end of June and today included no symptoms at all. My test EEG brain waves was perfect which means no seizures. Now I am done there ,until November for MRI. I am very fortunate.
8/21- Been doing great for walking , I have been trying to push harder each day. I went on my treadmill today kept

8/16 85.6kg (+0.1kg) That's really fine after a 7 ounce lost overnight! I'm thinking of slowing down the weightloss, since I don't need to loose too much more weight (about 6kg/13lbs). On the other side, things go well and it isn't very hard on me to eat less. So not sure yet. I'm leaving in 4 weeks on a 3 week trip to Botswana and Namibia in Africa. Maybe I'll just continue till then the way I do now and slow down after the my vacation.... And how knows...... maybe I just don't wanna stop at 79 kilo's
8/17 85.9kg (+0.3kg) Went out on a lovely 5 course surpirse- dinner with my hubbie!
8/18 85.7kg (-0.2kg) The dog is back in the house, my steps per day goes up
8/19 85.7kg (-0.0kg) Not only did my steps go up today, also my kcal intake hahahaha
8/20 85.7kg (-0.0kg) Had a lovely Sunday, stayed way under my kcalgoal, walked along the beach
8/21 85.7kg (-0.0kg) Busy day, ate well, I moved a lot, the scale doesn't

I'll try & join you! It's my first time here.
Day 1 (8/16) : morning weight 55.8 kg (organized a bbq the day before, binge eaten my way through the day, and went to bed with my stomach in pain, poor sleep quality, a disaster to keep it simple. On the 16 I went to the gym for one hour, great time. I was on a night shift, I ate a couple of candies to stay motivated, ended up eating a whole mac flurry after a huge dinner/breakfast at 2 am.
Day 2 (8/17) : 10 am : 54.5 kg. Had comfort food after the night shift : a peace of chocolate zucchini cake & a handful of almonds. Went swimming 2.5 km, felt really great. I'm going to a bbq tonight, I'll keep this post in mind to avoid gulping.
Day 3 (8/18) : ended up eating a piece of every cakes that was on the table yesterday (yeah I know, not the plan...) so 55.2 kg. Went to the gym, spinned for 30', made delicious crepes (no sugar, no butter though), resist the urge to buy a new pair of (un-necessary) shoes. This week has been a disaster, but I've come to the realization that what I need to do is stop the snacking, eat what feels good during meal time, and give less credit to the calories at the end of the day. As long as I don't stuff or starve myself, I'm already beginning to improve my behavior around food.
Day 4 (8/19) : 54.5 kg. Healthy breakfast, didn't thought about the pralines in my ward's fridge, and went swimming. Thinking about tonight's meal already, it's going to be delicious (and I may be able to keep up with my intakes goal today
). At the end of the day : goal achieved!
Day 5 (8/20) : 54.6 kg. I really struggled with food today. I went grocery shopping and ended up eating muesli like I didn't had any food during the day.
Day 6 (8/21) : 55.8 kg. I had quite a happy day. So I decided to treat myself with a 4 cheese pizza. Needless to say that won't help with the loging weight goal...
Day 7 (8/22) : 55.8 kg. My stomach still feels full after the pizza. I'm going to the gym tonight.

8/16 - 180.0 lbs Good start 😊 Had to go 80 calories over my goal yesterday long after I had finished my diary, I was feeling really hungry.
8/17 - 181.0 lbs (+ 1.0) It is SO hard for me to get past 180. I don’t get it.. What do you want from me body? I was very thirsty when I wake up, so I actually drank a lot of water before weighing. I usually weigh on an empty stomach.
8/18 - 180.2 lbs (- 0.8) I think it’s hard because I’ve been around this weight for many years.. So it just doesn’t come off that easy. Is that a thing? I can’t wait to see 175, then I’ll know that I am over this hard phase and that it’s actually possible to lose more.
8/19 - 179.6 lbs (-0.6) Hope it lasts :-D Great to see the needle below 180 again.
8/20 - 178.8 lbs (-0.8) Whoosh!
8/21 - 178.8 lbs (-0.0) Good to see that this number was right.
8/22 - 178.6 lbs (-0.2) Very motivating! I'm gonna do some pilates today.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieve permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- 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.
Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

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.
8/19: 69.0 - (I actually started writing this yesterday, but then we were in the car and I can't look down in the car) I mean I'm happy, but at the same time, I know that it's a down flux so I'm not going on that. Besides, still supposed to be maintaining. Anyway, ate my lazy food and was expecting to be a little over, then dinner again was very small and then I was under what I wanted to have to for the day. Ate some crisps trying to bump up the calories, but still ended up under. I also spent about 4 hours painting our hallway and was completely shattered by the end of the day. Week at maintenance completed. I'm actually going to push going back to deficit one day for tomorrow as we have a BBQ and I'll probably go over anyway, so I might as well make it planned. Also, easier to start deficit for me on a Monday.
8/20: 69.4 - Went for a BBQ for lunch yesterday. I'm 100% certain I have under logged because there was lots of nibbles that I have no idea how much I had. However, we also did some playing football with my boyfriend's nephews and some diy in the evening, so burnt some more calories than I'm probably accounting for too. I also didn't eat anything other than lunch, so although it was all my calories for the day, it was also all I ate for the day. Avoided all the things that I didn't really want eat (cheese on my burger, bread, baps), to save room for the food I really did want (meat, meat, & more meat). So I felt like I managed the situation reasonably well.
8/21: 69.5 - Back on the deficit. Forgot all my tricks to actually make a filling lunch and so had breakfast and lunch that were way too few calories and so I was ravenous all day (not making that mistake again today). When I ate dinner, I managed to have that "full, but also really hungry" feeling in my belly which was not very fun. I'm going to arbitrarily blame carbs because I had significantly less than I normally do. So I then had a slice of bread and felt much better. Judo in the evening, which I didn't eat back barely any of the calories for and yet I still felt overfull when training. All in all just a bit of a toughie yesterday trying to get back into the deficit.8/22: 69.5 - Much better yesterday. Still hungry during the day, but ate enough when I got home to not feel starving in the evening. Was right at the bottom of my calorie range even though I was expecting to be higher up, so I'm calling it a win. Especially as I was able to have icecream 🍦(yaaaas). Did some housework as our house is a complete mess right now (with the decorating). Hoping to see a little movement on the scales again soon, but I'm trusting the process and staying the same is always better than going up. Lets go!

Day/Weight/Comment
8/16 - 256...did fairly well yesterday, stayed just under calories and had a good amount of water. Only went for one small walk though. I'm not good in heat and it was hot and humid here..my body was feeling extra heavy and tired because of it. I had a huge craving for ice cream before bed but managed to keep myself from having it...yay! Lol
8/17 - 257.2...was not able to keep from having my cravings yesterday. Went quite a bit over in calories and had a lot of salty and sweet. TOM came around though so the cravings make sense. No exercise at all yesterday either, it was just too hot and humid, and my little guy has the flu so it was a lazy day. Back on track again today though.
8/18 - 256...did water fitness in the morning and weight training and cardio at night. Ate all of my calories plus about 1/2 of my exercise ones.
8/19 - 256...bad day yesterday. I've gotten my sons cold and I used it as an excuse to eat everything in sight. I'm starting to feel like a broken record...good day/bad day/good day/bad day. I wanted to be out of the 250's by the end of this round or at least the end of the month but if I keep doing this that will never happen
8/20 - 255...had an okay day. Went over calories but only by a little, less than 100. Didn't get any exercise though. I got dressed to go to the gym last night but was just to tired, went to bed instead.
8/21 - 255
8/22 - 254...no idea why my weight is going down. In the last couple of days my eating has been terrible and I haven't done any exercise. I'll take it, though its probably not real.

Round 4 for me. My goal for this round is to stay in onderland. On holiday at the moment so I'll start weighing in from the 19th, hopefully, I wouldn't have done much damage to my journey. Being mindful of my food choices.
8/16 away no scale
8/17 away no scale
8/18 away no scale.
8/19 196.5lbs - back from a well earnt rest. Pleased to see this number again, as I thought that I would put weight on during my time away. But instead a 2lb loss!! I have restarted with my water again, as I didn't keep it up when I was away, so it will be no surprise it the scale goes back up tomorrow. However, I'm feeling relaxed, peaceful and content with life, which is a great feeling to have.
8/20 197.5- to be expected as my body adjusts to the water I've been drinking
8/21 197.2 - happy with this -need to up my water only drank half the amount I was supposed to - need to add in an exercise routine too... maybe today?
8/22 198.2lbs oh well!!- looking on the bright side, I'm still in onderland. Didn't exercise yesterday but need to start... maybe this will give me the push I need.
