JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 62

"Our greatest glory is, not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." - Oliver Goldsmith
About me: 62, 5'7", hit maintenance in March 2018 and, typical yoyo, currently bouncing back up over original goal weight of 130. Want to get back to 127-128.
Crept back to JGM10D quietly in Round 60, after intentionally sitting out a number of rounds, because I need the daily accountability that worked before.

@Mochiedoke @tazography @pinkfairy88 @rainykatie Welcome to newcomers and newly coming back-ers (that was me two rounds ago)

You'll find people who've lost a lot, people just starting, people trying to maintain, people trying not to yoyo again... people who do keto, people who don't eat meat at all, people who exercise a lot, people who don't at all...

What we have in common is the need for more accountability around our choices and finding this community helpful for that.

Thanks @GrandmaJackie for keeping it going and @quiltingjaine @tiabirdie56 among many others for consistently reading and responding to people's posts and concerns. and to all!

I am very envious of your loss so far, (*re: @abowersgirl) I had a similar starting weight and would love to reach your current weight. Saying that I'm very envious of a lot of losses seen on this thread. Well done to all.

@pinkfairy88, {{{hugs}}} but don't waste energy being envious! Join us, work hard, receive support and achieve your own good losses.

Hi, I'm Christine 🙂 I am new to this challenge, and recently back on my weight loss journey. I am down 7.5 since starting my weight loss again but I would love to see how this goes for maintaining accountability for myself.

Round 62: first round

My goal for this round is to continue logging food, water and exercise, and also make it to the gym at least 4x each week before work.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/13: 239.5 Starting weight. Today was my rest day from the gym and dealt with a migraine for a nice chunk of the day, so didn't eat much until this evening(3 slices of cheese pizza and 4 small oatmeal chocolate chip cookies that I made for my boyfriend... he won't miss them!) I still was under my goal, but I am expecting a higher weigh in tomorrow morning. Did not drink as much water as I had wanted to.

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.

I need to step up my game if I want to meet any of my goals.

Round 62
36y/ 173cm or 5'8"

I just realised that R61 was my last full round for the year as I'll be travelling for most of the rest of it. I am considering taking my body scales and/or my yoga mat, depends on my packing skills. The first trip next week is with work here, 3 meals catered for in a lodge, so i'll have to make the best choices available to me, but won't be logging as there is no point with it being all estimates. And then after only one night back, the second trip is for another job in Jordan over xmas followed by a few days doing a touristy tour with my mom who will come and join me. I'll be staying in a hotel (and a tent one night), so again no way of logging accurately. I think i might just keep a list of what i've put in my mouth to keep some sort of overview.

R61 end weight: 69.6kg
Fri 12/14 - 70.4kg
Yesterday went ok during the day, but work stress and feeling a little home sick drove me to wine in the evening, after I've done a bit of body weights. The wine lead to crisps, which were incredibly salty, and also chocolate and cookies. Not surprisingly, I skipped Yoga this morning - I should just admit to myself that I only ever manage to do every other day. Then, as if to confirm that I won't be logging properly, the batteries on my food scale seem to be dead. If I had my standard breakfast, I could have estimated, but in anticipation of going away, i'm using up what's left in the fridge/cupboard. Anyway, I know i'll come back to the routine in January, for now i'll focus on not giving up completely and eating all the chocolates and making most of exercise opportunities available.

14/12 Yesterday was about maintenance intake wise, ate out for dinner unexpectedly. Not a big deal, been under my calories a fair bit during the week. It's out Christmas Jumper day for charity at work with a buffet, tonight is our Christmas lights row and party with my rowing club so it's pretty much a write off in term of calories today, I'll be mindful but not going to worry as I am going sober for charity from Monday so this is my last hurrah!

🎄 10 Days to Christmas Eve 🎄

• Let's face it! We are all human.
• Christmas is a time for celebration. We can CHOOSE whether or not to indulge.
• As long as we do so in moderation, there shouldn't be too much damage.
• Indulgence has it's consequences, but they are only temporary.
• Own them, and get back on track.

Vigilance is Key!

JGM10D ~|~ Round 62
I am FOCUSED on heathy food choices and DETERMINED to achieve my goals!
Previous 5 rounds Daily Goals Round 61
12/12: 165.7: Goals ✅ I think I'll switch to maintenance for the rest of the month. Still weigh and log, though.
13/12: 165.6: Goals ✅ Happy with that for this time of the year. The old me would have already gained at least 5lbs! 😂

These next 10 days will include some Holiday parties and my birthday, so I’m just going to continue to track my food and be mindful of my eating, but I’m going to enjoy this time of year with all the celebrations.

Day/Weight/Comment

12/14 - 144.5 - I'm down just in time for a tax planning lunch with a client. I checked the menu and there's no real low calorie options. I'm just planning to bring half of the lunch back and I'll give it to my husband to eat over the weekend.

Round 62 - my 5th round

Female - 58 - 5'7"
OSW: 271.8 (Oct 9/18)
UGW: 165.0 or lower

End R58: 261.2 (-2.2)
End R59: 258.8 (-2.4)
End R60: 256.6 (-2.2)
End R61: 252.0 (-4.6)

My goal for this round is to keep my wits about me! I'd also like to get in to the 240s during this round.

12/13 - 252.0 - End R61 - starting weight for this round.

12/14 - 253.4 - Nothing to worry about. 3168 cals yesterday. I was super hungry all day and gave in to it. For the 3 days before yesterday, my calories averaged 1506/day and that seems to be my "1200". I can't do too many days in a row at that level. I can lose a lot of weight quickly but I get too hungry & tired. That's without even exercising. I should probably aim for at least 1600 - 1700 per day and perhaps that would help me avoid the high calorie days. ***ETA: I just changed my daily goal to 1700. Hopefully that'll help me find a balance.
