Hi folks, I live in the sunshine island of Cyprus. The first chill of autumn is in the air and it's time to swap my swimmer for jeans (oops - definitely snug) - too much summer socialising, I'm afraid. I've just found this challenge - better late than never, so will just have to try harder to make up for lost time! My particular challenge is that I'm 64 y.o and under 5 ft tall, so I struggle to lose weight. This challenge is just the kick up the whatsit that I need !

Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 - 73.6kg - I've been indulging in too many carbs. IF + challenge to get me back on track.
10/16 - 72.9kg - As suspected, eating too many carbs made me retain water. Tonight I have gym, curious to see my numbers tomorrow morning.
10/17 - 72.00kg - This still must be water weight. Feeling better and more energetic! Gym sesh was great, that might've helped. I'm gonna try adding keto principles to my diet. It seems as much as I love 'em, carbs make weight loss much harder and longer for me. Anyone else on keto?
10/18 - 71.8kg - ok, now I'm hopeful. I just might end this on 71.5kg. Keto day 1 went ok, not hungry, just my mind playing tricks on me and wanting carbs. Today gym again. Hoping to see the scale move a bit down tomorrow as well. I'm about to travel to the USA for 2 months, so I'm trying to ditch these last few kgs before I leave.

My 9th round, let's gooo!

10/15 - 165.7 lbs Damn! Went clothes shopping with my mom today, and it was waaay better with her help. Picked out a lot of new clothes that actually compliments my body. Feels soo good to buy new clothes. I wasn't that good with my calories today. I ate a chicken/bacon salad for lunch at a restaurant, and I have no idea how many calories it had.. But I ditched dinner, because I'm still feeling full after that huge salad. I didn't eat the crutons, so that helps a bit I guess haha! But that salad def contained a lot of calories. Was delicious though. She wanted to buy me lunch since my birthday was yesterday, so it's all good



10/16 - 165.7 (—) No change! I’m good with that 😃 Happy I didn’t bump up since I have no idea how many calories my lunch had yesterday. I went to the gym yesterday, but today is a netflix kind of day 😂 I think I’m coming down with something, so I’ll go to the gym tomorrow instead (if I feel better).


10/17 - 165.1 (-0.6) Great! I’ve lost 2 lbs / 1kg in 7 days 😃 Hope this losing streak lasts all the way to my goal! Heading to the gym today, feeling better.

10/18 - 165.1 (—) No change today, and that is fine. I’m happy to get this number confirmed two days in a row Have a great day everyone!

Hi,

I moved from the UK to Cyprus in July last year, I have put-on a few ponds on over the Summer - too much summer socialising, I've just found this challenge. I have my sons wedding next year to prepare for.
I feel this focus in 10 day batches is just what I need and believe I can do this and achieve a weight loss as I too often give up and start again tomorrow.

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.

18/10 Got a quick 20 minute weight session in before leaving work to travel on Tuesday, lifted really heavy to make up for the short time, ate reasonably sensibibly over the 2 days I was away and managed to even get a quick row in on the river yesterday evening when I got home. Today's goals - have an active rest day, get my steps in, hit my calorie and protein targets.

10/15 176.2 A long evening walk with my son to end the day. 14 days in a row we've gone for a walk together!
10/16 176.2 My son headed out with a friend yesterday so I went for a walk by myself - it was chilly so I didn't stay out long. Started today with a workout.
10/17 176.2 Was really hoping for a loss today. I ate under calories yesterday and did an 8 mile walk with my son on top of my morning work-out. Today will be mostly a rest day - I am wiped and will need to be mindful to avoid zombie eating.

Starting off on a high # on the scale today because we had dinner at the inlaws last night. Taco chili! Yummy for fall but high carb for me, followed by German plum cake expecting to see a quick drop back to 183ish so I'd like to get strongly below that number this round! Plan for tomorrow: write out my food plan, Day 2 of 30 day yoga challenge. Glad to be here, this is a great challenge which helps keep me mindful.

10/16: 184.6 had a good eating day yesterday but I need to get better with tracking my food! and planning ahead as well. Hanging tough till Friday night, have a girls dinner party to go to and the hostess is making hot buttered rum as the signature drink.

10/17: 185.0 I feel ok about this because I had mexican last night. stayed within my calories but it was saltier than normal so not bad considering. I am behind on my yoga challenge already, need to make some time in the day to get that in!

10/18: 183.2 I like it. Sodium weight finally gone Still no yoga. But I did make it to the gym to put in some steps on the treadmill. Planning for an on-plan day!

Day/Weight/Comment

10/15 - 166.6 Glowing slow and steady. Need to drink lots of water and stay little more active from where I am now.
10/16 - 167.6 I know this would happen. Had a lot of treat yesterday. Egg puffs, chicken roll, cream roll cakes all added a pound in a single day. For my body, weight puts on rapidly but goes down very slow!!
10/17 - 167.2 A relief though that my scale is again moving down.
10/18 - 166.5 Had to move around a lot than now. Having a plan to do some dance moves for atleast 15-20 mins today.

🍁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

🎃10/17🎭 150.0 ate under and exercised good, drank 1.3 liters. This is where my weight starts to tease me..lol

⚰10/18🔮 149.8 Had a super hungry day yesterday and only got one small exercise in. It was all substantial food, not junk but I still couldn't help how hungry I was. Drank 1.3 liters. I'm going to wait a day to make sure this number is locked before I get excited...even if a little part of me already is

10/15: 168.4 - I'm easing into things this (first, for me) round. My goals are to avoid takeout meals and to exercise at least 5 of the 10 days.
10/16: 168.3 - I successfully avoided takeout yesterday. I will try to squeeze in a workout this evening.
10/17: 169.8 - I got off track yesterday (worked late and got takeout for dinner; no workout). Will try to do better today.
10/18: 170.4 - Yesterday was fine food-wise, but I still haven't gotten any workouts in. I'm dealing with some hormonal water retention at the moment, so I'm not too focused on the variation in numbers on the scale.

10/15: 157.2/Committed to sticking with my goals this round.
10/16: 155.8/Ran on the treadmill yesterday instead of outside and I hated it, but with the fall setting in I don't have much of a choice.
10/17: 155.2/Had a work conference, worried about blowing my diet, but kept it together.
10/18: 154.0/Feeling great! Went for a run outside yesterday. It days like this that motivate me to keep going and not drink that glass of wine or eat a whole bag of chips. I have just over 2 weeks(my birthday)to hit my goal of getting into the normal BMI range, which is attainable as long as I keep focused.

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
10/16: 266.4 (-0.8) took a break during the afternoon at work and went for a walk 1318 calories, 93g protein, 63oz water
10/17: 265.6 (-0.8) ended up at the Mexican restaurant for dinner. Avoided the chips even though that basket sat in front of me taunting me the whole time. Probably should've ordered a salad but had chile rellenos instead. 1388 calories, 89g protein, 76oz water
10/18: 267.0 (+1.4) I actually feel bigger today, ugh.
