JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 55

FarmerCarla · October 2018

ROUND 55 (Round 2 for me)
5’5” 65 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
GW 140 lb.
Round 54 – SW 178 lb. down to 171.8 lb. (6.2 lb. loss) This was my beginning of eating keto and tracking calories. I expect more realistic loss this round, but loss, none the less!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/05 171.6 I’m happy to be starting another round! After a big breakfast with our guests from Zimbabwe, Thor (my GSD) and I walked a little over 3 miles. I took water for both of us this time. Someone took my water before I returned for it, but I drank a little of Thor’s water. We walked a little slower than usual since I had a full tummy from breakfast.
10/06 171.4 No walk, getting ready for a 2-day bus trip, singing and eating with my sisters in Christ. When I joined the group, my husband groaned, because he didn’t want me to be heavy like the rest of the ladies. His fears were grounded, and I gained about 40 lbs. Fortunately, most of us in the group have gotten serious about getting back in shape, so I think I’ll eat okay this weekend. Thor and I will miss our walks, but we plan to start again on Monday.
10/07 On the road and off the scale.
10/08 170.8 (when I woke up) (170.6 after walk with Thor) I think I was experiencing keto flu the last couple of days. I drank a lot of fluids, ate plenty of calories that I didn’t try to count (shrimp, ribs, chicken, veggies), and I ate a few bites of extra carbs to combat the tired, yucky feeling I read is a common adjustment at the beginning of a keto regimen. Today, I feel good, and I'm happy to see the scale number continue to go down. Thank you, Heavenly Father!

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.

10/05 140.8 ~ (Steps 25,749) ~ The key for me to get to my goals is focus on the weekend, I WILL do this,

10/06 141.1 ~ (Steps 18,892) ~ I’m okay with this my husband has to work late so I actually ate later then usual,

10/07 142.5 ~ (Steps 9,891) ~ Hitting on my goals, there were a lot of errands to do. The scale shows having dinner so late, though.

10/08 142.1 ~ (Steps 19,810) ~ Kind Of had a dramatic day but I didn’t use food as a outlet, I went for a couple nice walks,

10/05 155.6 sllooowwly inching off. Worked out good yesterday, ate well and 1.2 liters of water. Hate that I can't get enough water in... I need to get my head in the game. It was absolutely gorgeous yesterday and I was so happy to have a nice day again, fully knowing it is one of last nice days I decided to take full advantage of it. My dog sure loved me for it too lol more then 40 minutes of walking, breathing in the fresh air and just enjoying life. It ended up being a really great day!!

10/06 no weigh in. Last night went out late and woke up this morning and immediatley went out to pick up some stuff up for thanksgiving dinner tomorrow so didn't weigh in before eating. But I did work out, stay under calories and drank 1 liter of water so at least last night's outting won't effect tomorrow's weigh in

10/07 🍁🍃Thanksgiving 🍁🍃 154.8 not too bad. Yesterday wasn't feeling too good so my food wasn't the greatest and I got minimum exercise in (had to shop for thanksgiving) hoping today will go well but I am not sure at the same time...we will see

10/08 155.6 not a bad gain at all!!! I ate so much if not a little of everything but I think that worked in my favor. Rather then taking two plates of food, I had one with a spoonful of everything. That way I tasted everything but my brain registered being full when I was finished. Not too bad at all. Holidays are over and I am officially back at it. I got this!

Looking forward to round 55! Slowly, painfully figuring out posting here.

10/05 131.4-Yay! Finally the workouts and tracking are paying off. Have to say I am enjoying the mix of workouts—stairs with my girlfriends or alone, gym with my husband,Pilates with my girlfriends and walks with my dog. Best part? My workouts are becoming my go to social outlets. I used to default to lunches and happy hours. Tracking and pre-logging have really helped. I like knowing at the beginning of my day what my calories are looking like for the day.
10/06 131.2 lost a little-I’ll take it! Ate well and hit the gym when my family started working my nerves. Absolute right call-25 mins on the elliptical and bodyweight exercises over emotional eating for the win!
10/07 130.8 Day is off to a good start—homemade huevos rancheros (lots of protein), 1 mile walk with Brewster, protein shake for lunch. Heading out for a couple games of bowling, maybe swim a few laps later and then an evening of socializing. I’ve scheduled my workouts for the week, joined a ‘workweek hustle’ walking challenge on Fitbit and will continue to pre log my meals.
10/08 133.4 Clearly the nachos, wings and beer weren’t the best choices this weekend. Hoping a chunk of this is water weight and will see a more 'friendly' number tomorrow morning! Back in the saddle today! HIIT workout this morning and better food choices today! Pretty bad back pain--may need to go a little easier on the workouts this week.

So, I know fluctuations can happen, but 4.6 lbs in two days?? That seems really drastic lol. Anyone know why this might be happening? I have my calories set to 0.5 lbs a week loss to ease myself into it so I've been eating 1900-2000 a day.

If you're just starting out, a large loss is very normal due to loss of water weight. Also, if you had high sodium intake before the challenge and now you're eating foods with less then that could definitely lead to a loss of water retention too. Definitely has for me.

I HAVE to reach my goal this time. I'm going to make it happen.

Day/Weight/Comment

10/5- 186.3- I don't want to get too excited because I'm just going to jinx myself again lol. But I'm happy the scale is going back down again! No rice until I hit my goal! I really want to get to 185.0 though. I've been hovering in the upper 180s for a while now. Gotta get down to the lower 180s. Going to make this round the round I get to it! It's Friday but I'll try to do well today so the scale goes down some more. REALLY want to get to 185.something!

10/6- 185.6- Yay! I got there. Spoke it into existence I guess lol. But that's not my mini goal until it's 185.0 so got a little ways more to go. Going to try to do well this weekend. Not planning on doing anything that would make me go over my calories but weekends. Yesterday was under my calories. Went to chipotle, was pretty darn healthy in my choices. I've changed a lot since the past- I used to get a loaded burrito with cheese and all the works. Now I get a bowl, lots of veggies, no cheese, no tortilla on the side like I used to. Just making good choices for my health. Pretty proud of myself.

10/7- 185.1- Saturday was successful and scale was on my side too! Will try to do well today as well. Looks like I will be under calories today too. I'm almost at my mini goal of 185.0 but I don't want to stop my progress so will continue onto 180.0. Hopefully I can reach it by the next round. We'll see!

10/8- 184.9- Sunday was also very successful. Was under calories, ate PRETTY healthy (even though I had pizza). But I'm very happy. Weekends used to be a huge binge-fest for me. Not anymore! Really trying to beat that habit. So this means I got to my mini-goal of 185, so the next mini-goal is 180! I'm pretty excited and don't want to let the progress go to waste so will continue to do well. Today I'm going to work out (really going to work on my cardio today because I've definitely been slacking and I want to make this part of my lifestyle to help with maintenance once I get to my goal) and definitely staying under calories.

Day/Weight/Comment

10/5 - 81.4kg, only down .2 from yesterday, did eat pretty awful dinner (under cals but high sodium), and didn’t drink a lot of water. Happy to see a loss either way

10/6 - 81.6kg, Friday seems to be a hard day for me (it’s a ‘weekend’ day). I definitely stayed under calories, but ate out and had food that was hard to track. I worked out for 30mins, and drank plenty of water so really disappointed to see this number
10/7 - 81.4kg, I’m glad it’s down from yesterday but I feel like I’m stagnating
10/8 - 81.4kg, I overate a bit yesterday but for the whole week I was good with calories so I’m okay with that. I’ve been going to the gym every day since Friday (nothing crazy, just 30-60mins in the treadmill), however still a little stuck on this number!
10/9 - 81.6kg...... why am I stuck!!! I’ve been counting every day and definitely under. I think I’m having a lot of water retention from exercising ? I’m going to have a today and maybe tomorrow off from the gym

Hi

I am a female, 30 years old, 5' 6"
Just started using the every other day diet on 10/4 upon weighing 175 that morning. I have gained about 40 lbs over the past year and a half... After losing it all in the first six months after baby. I did the same thing after baby #1. After I lost it I gained my pregnancy weight back even while still BF...just minus the baby

! So here we go again.

big water weight drop in weight after my first 500 calorie day. maintenance calorie day

10/06 / 168.4 / -.4
500 calorie day

10/07 / 165.4 / - 3
maintenance calorie day. water weight loss, will probably gain some back. TOM surprised me today with no cramps ECT. I'm pretty excited since I cut out dairy a month ago it really seems to have helped in many ways (less cravings, I can feel "thirsty" better instead if just hungry) including this one.

10/08 / 167.2 / +1.8
500 calorie day. I was hungry last night and I'm hungry today. Already have my food made for the day and planned out so that should help. Big salads all day

Maybe tea with maple syrup this evening. Had a cold all weekend and I am feeling a lot better today, and one of my LO's seems better as well. My older is still sick so we will be staying in and having a relaxing day today.

Start Weight: 166lb

Round 54: End Weight 164.2lb (1.8lb loss)

Goal Weight: 140

Goals for the next round will be to be more consistent with my exercise, dial in the nutrition a bit more and try to make it through Thanksgiving without a gain. Any loss will do

Day/Weight/Comment
10/05 - 164.2
10/06 - 164.4 Probably at least some salt from Thursday. Had a good day today. Went for a long walk with hubs and pup and ate ok. Baked pumpkin pie in the evening and had a slice that put me over calories. Also, didn't get my run in... but the walk more than made up for that.
10/07 - 164.6 Thanksgiving dinner today. Not going to stress about counting calories, thanksgiving comes but once a year and we worked too hard cooking and baking not to enjoy it.
10/08 - 166.4 Ugh. Not surprised. Did get my run in yesterday though. Leftovers today but I have a day off work so have decided to do one more day not counting calories. Back to brass tax tomorrow.

I’m in for round 55 after a break

This will be my 8th round.

USW 6th of May: 210 lbs

UGW: 144 lbs

Challenge goal weight: 169.9 lbs

Previous rounds:
R39 SW: 196.2 lbs EW: 190.7 lbs (-5.5)

R46 SW: 185.8 lbs EW: 183.4 lbs (-2.4)

R47 SW: 182.8 lbs EW: 178.6 lbs (-4.2)

R48 SW: 178.2 EW: 180.1 (+1.9)

R49 SW: 182.1 EW: 180.2 (-1.9)

R50 SW: 180.0 EW: 175.9 (-4.1)

R51 SW: 175.3 EW: 172.6 (-2.7)

10/05 – 171.2 lbs Been very slow after the huge losses I had in my last three rounds. Went to the gym today and had a really good workout with my physical therapist. I work out 3 times a week now, and this feels like the perfect amount of workouts for me now. Been having a lot of issues with the mobile app lately, so I haven't been tempted to struggle with forum posts everyday. So slow and it's crashing all the time

Been logging everyday and staying under my calorie goal since the last time I was participating in this challenge. I have been weighing once a week, was kinda nice to have a break from the daily weigh-ins. I have also chosen to open my diary to friends to hold my self accountable.

10/06 - 170.1 (-1.1) Had to step on the scale 3 times to make sure this was right 😂 Awesome!

10/07 - 170.4 (+0.3) A small bump up from yesterday. Not worried, still a huuge loss in 2 days. Ate a lot of sodium yesterday, so it’s probably just water :-) a mini goal for the day is that I’m gonna drink a minimum of 4 glasses of water today.

10/08 - 169.3 (-1.1) Whooosh! I’m seeing the number 6 and I am so happy! 😃 I did complete the mini goal I set for myself yesterday and I’m gonna set a new one for today. My minigoal for the day is to go to the gym and do some cycling, strength training and core training (for atleast 30 min). Good to see that my little plateau is ending and I’m just whooshing. My weight has been standing very still since R51.. but I have stayed under my calorie goal even if I have had a small break from these challenges. Sometimes the scale won’t budge for a while and I get a big whoosh after. Can be really demotivating to see that the scale is standing still, so it’s just a fabulous feeling when I whoosh like this 👌🏻

10/09 - 167.9 (-1.4) !! 😃

I really love this challenge and the participants, it makes me under control somehow. Even I cannot reach my goals, it's really better than nothing. So the previous challenge I really lost a little weight (0.3 kg/0.9 lbs) and that motivated me.

My goals for this challenge:

Drink enough water
Exercise 3-4 times in a week
Try to not eat junk food and drink max 3 glasses of alcohol in a week (I don't wanna be hard on myself because I can't)
Eat nutritious food, not just all carbs

10/5 85.3 kg (188 lbs)
I got really sick yesterday, I was exhausted, lost too much water, however, also drank so much water. I couldn't eat enough.
10/6 85.1 kg (187.6 lbs)
Yesterday I was still sick, and I couldn't move and couldn't eat enough. I'm not sure that this number is my true weight or not. But I hope I could see 84's in this challenge.
10/7 84.6 kg (186,5 lbs)
Obviously, I'm losing water because of sickness. I don't drink enough water. Also, I drank a glass of wine it was really unnecessary and it made my stomach sicker. However, this morning I'm feeling better.
10/8 84.9 kg (187.1 lbs)
I'm really OK with this number. After feeling better, at night I went to the gym and really worked hard. I felt great I really missed going to the gym.
10/9 84.4 kg (186 lbs)
I'm so happy to see this number. Actually, I'm still sick so I cannot eat enough but it kinda disciplines me to eat well. I hope I'll continue like this.
