JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 56

Round 56
Hello to everyone!
I am Svetlana
I am Russian living in Germany
Age 50, will turn to 51 in December. I wouldn’t say that I have too much of excess weight, not any more. But I wish to get rid of few kilos just to have some room to allow eating “not so healthy” here and there. I am active enough: running at least 3 times a week (7 km at a time) and exercising with Jillian Michaels on other days. I practice Intermittent fasting (16/8) and try to eat “clean”. But weekends are a big problem of mine. They eliminate all my achievements for a week. Last week I was already 66.4 kg (146 lbs.) and on Monday yesterday – 68.1 kg (150 lbs.).
That’s why I thought that joining your challenge will help me to hold over the coming weekend
Height 167 cm
Weight 68.1 kg (150 lbs.)
Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 – 68.1 kg (150 lbs.) / I met Jillian Michaels twice (morning and evening).
10/16 – 67.8 kg (149.5 lbs.) – 7 km (4,3 miles) run in the morning and 3 km walk during the lunch break

I weighed in about 2 hours early & suspect I'd be lower at my usual time. But no cheating.
I have two more weeks on this very restrictive diet and then I can start testing the foods I've eliminated - eggs first! I'm looking forward to the process. I generally feel better, but still have this !!*&% joint pain. It moves around and the past few days has settled into my shoulders, which makes getting in and out of clothes a lot of fun. OTOH, I have a lot more energy than I've had for a while, so the uptick in Vit B12 and other nutrients has made a huge difference.
10/16 - 135.4 - 908 - 10-day ave 1202
Note to self - do not take ginger & curcumin supplements on an empty stomach in the morning. I had an upset stomach until afternoon so ate a teensy lunch. I felt better later, but not enough to eat much. Back to normal calories today. I should have known better!

🍁10/15🍃 150.8 this weekend was a wash. I managed to stay under calories but the food choices were a bit questionable and I managed to work out but not like I had been during the week before I got sick. I am feeling better today but still have a dry cough which is just as bad as a stuffy nose. Hoping to get back into my routine today. Regardless a loss is a loss and I hope it stays that way
🕸10/16🕷 150.4 yesterday I had an ok day. Eating didn't have much variety, high carb day, exercised for a little over an hour and drank 1.3 liters of water. Still have a cough which is starting to annoy me. Want to get back to my usual workout

15/10 Back to work today after a long weekend, I have been really struggling with discipline the last week or two and it's not like I've a particularly strict plan to start with, my heads just not been in the game. Need to try and focus on alternatives to stress/emotional eating. I know I can do it, because I've done it before, however, sometimes it's just easier said than done. Here's to a better week, goals for today hit calorie goal and get out for a run
16/10 I signed up to Healthy Wage yesterday, I've tried DietBet before I liked the concept but did not like how rigidly it expected the weight to come off, especially as I have huge water weight swings around ovulation/shark week, so I've set myself up to lose 30lbs over the next year, I will pay in $30 per month and if I hit my goal by the end I get $855 and can extend if needed. Hoping it will give me that extra nudge to the lose the 2nd half. Goals for today - get some strength training done and make sensible choices on business travel this evening/tomorrow.13 -
10/15 131.8 Today will focus on water intake, pre-logging food and 10k+ steps. Volunteering today which will keep be busy and out of the house/kitchen. I’ve packed a few high protein snacks, filled my water bottle. Will do a 4:30 HIIT workout with my daughter. Looking forward to homemade turkey soup for dinner! I made it through the day without caving to the temptation of one of my daughter's delicious homemade oatmeal choc chip cookies! Now the Halloween candy while volunteering (1 fun size pack of M/Ms and 2 Starburst pieces)--I couldn't resist. I did log them though.
10/16 131.2 No cookie with my coffee this morning--NSV/2 days in a row! Will see if the candy corns sway me this afternoon.
Something about having that sweet at 3:00…. Worked out this morning with hubs (25 mins/elliptical, ab work) Pulled something in my upper back/shoulders so won’t get my stairs in as hoped. 
Hopefully, I can get one session in this week, though. I’ve pre-logged my food today and will get my 64oz of water in for sure.

Did well on my weight loss last round but not on my other goals. Will be leaving on vacation on 10/20 so I won't be able to finish out this round since I won't have internet access. I also won't be tracking my food/calories while I'm gone. I plan to enjoy eating on the cruise without going overboard on junk. I also plan to focus on increasing my water intake and getting more exercise on vacation.
Goals this round:
Log food in MFP 5/10 days (only doing 1st 5 days of the round)
>1200 <1420 calories 5/10 days
Drink 54+oz water 5/10 days
Weight <= 265.4 (>=1.6 lb loss) on morning of 10/20
Round 56
10/15: 267.2 (+0.2) made whole wheat spaghetti for dinner. First time having pasta since July and I had high expectations, but frankly it was awful! Didn't eat much and ended up just having a protein shake to get my calories up and get some protein. I still want the sweets (but avoiding them except for my low sugar protein shakes and an occasional piece of dark chocolate) but have no interest in starches. 1114 calories, 104g protein, 50oz water

Then I continued the gluttony with a brownie after dinner that made my tummy hurt. And now I am REALLY getting back to it today. Had smoothie, fish oil and took meds already this morning. Going to prelog the day and make it a good one, no matter what I eat - I will eat the correct portion size.

10/15 - 192.4, following a weekend getaway with some pretty lax eating. Looking forward to focusing on my goal for the next 10 days!
10/16 - 193.0, which I think is some delayed fallout from my bingey weekend. Also, I had 150 cals of popcorn for a post-workout carb last night just before bed, so I wouldn't be surprised if some of that gain is salt retention too. Ate within my targets yesterday, so I'm sure I'll see the scale moving in the right direction soon.

🎀10/15 - 180.2 - Still tired lol. 65g carbs, 52g net carbs. Last night I thought I would have a good report on carb intake, then I remembered the bread and butter that I ate with my DGD, smh. I have some reading to do on the last thread.
🎀 10/16 - 181.6 - I have been neglecting my electrolytes. Sodium and potassium have been very low for the past 2 weeks. Probably also contributing to my tiredness. Carbs were higher than 25g yesterday, but I can go as high as 50g without a problem. So, the plan is electrolytes twice a day until my body adjusts.

Seeking lower bodyfat%☺ Yes, I absolutely need electrolytes. When I don't need them the water tastes salty to me, when I do need them, I cannot detect any saltiness. The water just seems to have a smoothness to it. If that makes sense.

I am a 50 year old 5'5" woman. I am trying to get healthier to avoid diabetes and all of the problems that come from being overweight.
I have found this challenge to be both rewarding and frustrating! Looking at my weight daily has been a real eye opener to see all of the fluctuations and how a high carb day will affect me and the loss for 2-3 days after. On the other hand when I look at the big picture and the averages it has been a consistent loss except for two rounds. Round 53 was my 50 birthday celebrations that upped my weight for a few days.
I need to step up my game if I want to meet any of my goals.

Just saw this group, I need the motivation to start and keep it going. I have gained all of my previous weight and feel terrible. The day is about half over so I will have to check my weight tonight when I get home. However, I started my journey this morning by walking for 30 minutes but also broke the diet by drinking a hot chocolate at snack time (I needed to warm/wake up in my office).
@melperr Welcome! I love hot cocoa and absolutely refuse to give it up. Try making it with 1/2 the packet/serving of cocoa and a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. This little tweak saved me calories and cut my sugar intake quite a bit. (Sugar is a major binge trigger for me and makes me retain water.) Now I don't even bother with the presweetened cocoa.
My recipe for a BIG mug of coziness:
8 oz unsweetened almond milk
4-6 oz of water
1 TBS of unsweetened Dutch process cocoa powder
Erythritol and cinnamon to taste
Warm milk, water, cocoa, and cinnamon in a pot, stirring or whisking until completely combined.
Pour hot mixture into large mug and stir in a bit of erythritol until just sweetened enough.

10/15 - 193.5 woohoo! Started to change my habit of eating a snack after 10pm.. I don’t go to sleep until 1am but I’m sure late night snacking is not helping.
10/16 - 192.5 is not night snacking that effective?? Maybe it’s avoiding peanut butter.. I’ve been kind of obsessed lately lol

10/15 148.6 @MadisonMolly2017 You're losing so consistently, it's very inspiring.
10/16 147.8 It's a meeting day, so I have to go in prepared. I can't stress out and binge on snacks someone brings in. This morning I was cleaning the kitchen after my son was kind enough to make dinner, so I didn't have my normal healthy breakfast. The cafeteria didn't have good options either. I'll have to be really careful the rest of the day.
Some of you post you TOMs. Why is that? Does your weight fluctuate?

@melperr you didn't ruin anything just because you indulged in a beverage, you just have you work the rest of your calories around it. I used to drink hot chocolate when I was a kid but as an adult the sugar content does a number on my stomach...but I am a huge coffee drinker but I used too take it with 3 cream and 3 sugar. It was the highest calorie in drinks I was having...until I was fed up and decided to decrease. At first brought it down to 2 cream 2 sugar, then 1 cream 1 milk 2 sugar then 1 cream 1 milk 2 sweetner Now I drink 2 milk and 2 sweetner, although I am slowly making my way down to drink it black (not a fan of sweetner) don't worry about not being able to kick it all at once but once you are comfortable for the beverage decrease, just alter it a bit by bit. Maybe add milk or almond milk and decrease the actual hot chocolate portion. You would be surprised how easy after a while5

ROUND 56 (Round 3 for me)
5’5” 65 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
GW 140 lb.
Third week on Keto WOE and impressed with decreased arthritis hip and shoulder pain. Yay!
Round 54 – SW 178 lb. down to 171.8 lb. (6.2 lb. loss) This was my beginning of eating keto and tracking calories.
Round 55 – Finished at 170.0 (1.8 lb. loss)
Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 169.2 This is the number I wanted to see yesterday, but today’s good, too. It was raining when I woke up for my walk with Thor (my GSD). So, we slept another 1½ hours, and it was still raining. I’ll have to exercise inside today. Thor can run in the yard, and I’ll dry him off. I’m happy I mowed my yard and burned my brush piles before the rain started. I'd rather work outside, but I'll bake oatmeal cookies for my thin husband, cook Turkey Cabbage Stew to portion out and freeze, and do my husband's ironing so he'll look well cared for. After the rain stops—plant winter garden. Praying for a blessed day for all you fellow losers! I love being a (weight) loser.
10/16 168.4 Unexpected! I hope it doesn’t come back tomorrow. I have lunch at the women’s club meeting today—good time to practice restraint in preparation for the 10-day singing ministry tour in New England states next month.

@frida001 personally yes my weight fluctuates big time. Sometimes by 2 pounds sometimes as high as 5. Writing it down is just the reassurance of water weight and retention, just like DOMS. For me it's to affirm that the gain has nothing to do with my progress and will quickly drop as fast as I gained it.7

10/15 149.4 Head back in the game after this maintenance trend since round 53. I do feel really good at this weight, but would like to drop a little bit more before I call it official. I don't want my maintenance to fluctuate so close to the next decade!!
10/16 DNW I had a meeting with my staff yesterday and they surprised me with a feast of homemade food, so pretty much threw in the towel as I had to fully indulge and appreciate the love that was given through their food. Scared to step on the scale, only the second time this has happened on this journey (scale fear, not binging!). I feel so bloated today, but such is life. I plan on a today being a great day!

Yes @frida001, I know my weight generally goes up a little just before and the first day or two of my period. It's normally just water retention that passes within a few days.4

Back for another Round. This will be Round 7 for me. Finally starting to get in a consistent down trend. If I can consider two challenges in a row a trend. Oh well I'll take it. Here's to another ten day challenge. These are great because it really does keep me accountable. As much as I don't want to log the bad days I make myself do it as its the only way to keep me honest with myself and accountable.

10/15 – 267lbs (-2lbs) Just as I suspected. Dropped two pounds after getting home for a day. Seems those grapes did some water retention. However on the good side they are way better for snacking than the peanuts. I'll stick with that for now. Feeling good about taking in those belt notches!
