JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 61

ahdewald · December 2018

Hello! I am newly returned to MFP and this is my first challenge.

I am at my lifetime high, and seem to have gained 3.5 lbs in 2 days of reasonable eating- which cannot be real. So my goal for this challenge is to finish below 210.

12/4 216 (mini- win: went out for a rare lunch with a friend; didn't over eat! Saved $$ that way too!)

12/4 - 178.8 - Starting to come back down. I never have a Round goal weight, only a 10 lb goal to reach. This time I set one. 175 lbs, to keep me accountable and away from the carbs until I reach it. BECAUSE, there are 2 carb days I am looking forward to, gingerbread and belgian waffles 😃 both courtesy of my son's baking. I've been waiting on this gingerbread for 4 years😂

12/5 - 176.8 - 😏 Okay. I will take it, thank you very much.

12/04 - 131.6 - 1246 - 10-day ave 1401
Back in the "legal" zone. I'm still slacking off on exercise because of lingering pain, especially in my joints. The elimination diet I was on eliminated 15 pounds but not the pain. Still a win! We tried another short course of prednisone and will re-check inflammation levels mid month and go from there. In the meantime, I need to suck it up and exercise anyway. Maybe I should join a "get off your butt for 10 days" challenge!

12/05 - 131.2 - 1160 - 10-day ave 1383
Follow-up visit with dietitian today re. the elimination diet, which has made no difference in my pain/inflammation. It will be interesting to hear what other suggestions she might have. In the meantime, I'm trying a new baked salmon patty recipe for lunch. Mmmm!

51, Standing: 5'9" in NYC
OSW: 274 ~ CSW: 234.2 ~ GW: 230

12/03 ~ 235.2 - End R60 not too bad overall. Down 1.6 lbs.

12/04 ~ 234.2 - SOOOORE is the word of the day.

12/05 ~ 233.1 - Unexpectedly had time yesterday and spent HOURS deep cleaning house, moving furniture, reorganizing closets and decorating for the holidays. So surprisingly not as sore today, but feeling achy enough in my knees and lower back to make this a rest day for sure. Hoping some mild stretching this morning and eve gets the kinks out ~ and the weight loss keeps dropping! Have a great day everyone.

@SheilaBoneham I’m curious about the repeated prednisone- have they tried an NSAID? Carl’s ortho gave him a script for meloxicam and he is very impressed with the pain relief. He doesn’t like to take drugs so . . .

@quiltingjaine No, no NSAID's other than OTC and they have only a minimal effect. I've been diagnosed with PMR - polymyalgia rheumatica - and everything I've read says it does not respond to NSAIDs. Pred is the drug of choice, unfortunately, and I'm fighting it.

puttyputty · December 2018

@quiltingjaine, as someone with a strict dietary need (I have Celiac, so no gluten), I've found that if someone is pointing out things I can eat, it usually means they are either doubting whether I have to eat that way (since it can be a bit trendy to go gluten free) or they are just really curious about what it's like. I usually say things like, "Yeah, as you can see, I have to be careful, but there really are lots of options and I don't feel deprived. And I feel so much better since my diagnosis that it makes it all worthwhile! I thought it would be hard, but it's much easier than I expected." And then I see if they want to ask questions. They always do!

I don't know if your friend is coming from the same place, but it's a strategy you might use.

@SheilaBoneham, I hope they figure something out. I'm prone to inflammatory problems, so I have so much empathy with what you're feeling!

12/4—216.2—That's 3.8 pounds since yesterday. The amount of water I was retaining with TOM was pretty impressive! Still not feeling great, but improving.

12/5—216.8—A bump up but this was an early weigh in. Not a real gain. I'm in week 3 of my push ups challenge and I can really see my improvement. I'm getting stronger every day!

My 22nd round!

OSW: 186 (March 2018)
UGW: 144-147
Pre challenge weight loss: -12 lbs.
Challenge weight loss R40 – R60: -30 lbs.

R61 SW: 144

With the help of these challenges, I’ve made it to a very comfortable weight for me. I’ve lost some weight many times in the past, but my biggest challenges have been to maintain it. My goal this round and going forward will be to maintain my weight in the low to mid 140’s.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/04 - 144 - I'm happy and a little surprised I didn't have a delayed bump from the weekend. Even though I only had a couple hundred extra calories each day, I've gotten so used to only eating around 1200 calories that unless it's a special event of some kind, I feel kind of guilty when I go over.
12/05 - 144 - Holding steady, which is where I like to be for now.

@puttyputty Last night when they ordered chips and salsa, Carl pushed them over in front of them and she said, “Oh, that’s right. Jaine can’t eat those.” I said, “I CAN, I choose not to. I ate my carbs yesterday when I ate tempura.” I had a beef and veggie burrito minus the tortilla. There is corn in the veggies but I pushed most of it to the side.

Round #61 My Round #7
Female/49 years/Missouri

Round 55 * -3.2 (I was sick)
Round 56 * +1.6
Round 57 * -1.8
Round 58 * -1.5
Round 59 * -0.04
Round 60 * -0.06

OSW - 213 (highest weight ever 280 but I've had most of that off for more than 15 years but still)
CW - 186.4
RGW - 185.4
UGW – 135

Food Goals:
Get 5 servings of fruits/veggies every day.
Stay under my calorie goal of 1,400.

Exercise Goals:
Walk at least an hour 3 days a week, 4 days if nothing better is available.
Weight training 1 day a week

12/04 - 186.4 Just one day off from hitting my 186 goal. I guess eating 300 calories all day and 1100 after 6:00 p.m. is going to have an impact. Sure I stayed within goal but the timing screwed me for next day weigh in - lesson learned. Going to the gym tonight for weights. After six rounds I've lost 5.9 pounds. Very close to a pound a week. If I keep that pace I'll be at my goal in 1 year. I started in March but didn't really get serious until July or August. Here's to the next six weeks. It would be nice to start the new year in the 170's.
12/05 - Traveling no scale. I drove four hours yesterday in the snow, then went straight to the hotel. I did two miles on the treadmill but did not make it to the gym. The roads are clear, I'm going to the gym tonight.

Round 61

Please join us! Starting on 12/04 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 61
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

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.

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.

12/3 130.0 Round 60 end weight

12/4 132.0 Totally expected. CARB LOAD! Satisfied my craving for veggies tempura yesterday! It’s been about 6 months since we last went there.
12/5 133.0 I hardly had any water yesterday and then set my bottle down when we were at Ethel M’s and forgot to pick it up! Carl got up early this morning to take friends to the airport and in an effort to be quiet, dropped something causing me to bolt upright in bed at 3:43AM. I tried to go back to sleep but that didn’t work. It could be the carbs from Monday but I think this higher weight is the result of getting up so early. So I’m having my coffee, and WILL weigh again later. Maybe I’ll try to nap later. I am not a napper. Gym this afternoon with Amy.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 61
