JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ ROUND 69

FarmerCarla · February 2019

@hoshaugh73 I wonder how long it will take me to be able to do the whole workout? I'd like to find out, so I saved it to my watch list. Hopefully, my old joints will hold out. If I don't overdo in the beginning, I think I'll be able to do it within 3 months. That may seem like a long-term goal, but I'm not a spring chicken.

ROUND 69 (Round 14 for me)
5’5” 67 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
GW 135 lb.
I started Round 54 and Keto WOE on September 24, 2018.
Cumulative weight loss for Rounds 54-68 = 41.6 lb. lost
Latest NSV: Yesterday morning, I was standing in front of the mirror, applying make-up, and noticed my thighs don’t touch! Yay!
Thanks to all of you for helping me on this journey!

02/26 135.4 I’m starting late, but this is my first day to have time at home this round. I’m tired in the evenings, and do well to complete my Bible studies. This morning, I’m sure my weight was lower because I didn’t have to get up before daybreak! I won’t be able to go back and read posts starting from the beginning, but I’ll read today’s posts and see how everyone is progressing. It’s dreary out, but I don’t think it will rain, so Thor and I will head out for a walk after I check your posts.

2/22 145.7 last round was tough for me, even though the ending numbers are fine. I struggled through a small bounce and a few days of no scale movement. And spent a lot of time trying to keep myself on track with my eating choices, which haven't always been great. I was tempted to forget logging. The visuals of the long term weight loss trends that people post in the forums with all their peaks and valleys on the way to goal weight really help keep me going. Yesterday was a great day. I earned my promotion to blue belt in jiu-jitsu! The scale showed me a new number today. All good things!
2/23 146.1
2/24 145.6
2/25 145.1
2/26 143.9 A small woosh. Not sure form where and I'm sure it will bounce up a bit tomorrow. No matter. I worked out this morning and took a long shower. Feeling pretty good today. Jiu-jitsu this evening, and I need to figure out dinner.

Day/Weight/Comment

02/22 …..188.8 ….. Bad start after pool hall & potluck. Yesterdays stats: 2032 Calories In / 2419 Calories Out. Net Carbs 156. 11,586 Total Steps & 4.9 Miles. IF 16:8. I slept 4 hours & 38 minutes. I walked 34 minutes outdoors & danced 22 minutes. Sample song “ Here comes my girl” by Tom Petty. That one put me in a great mood because of the nice vibe. Good luck on this round everyone!

02/23 …..189.0 ….. Here goes my embarrassing stats: 2653 Calories In / 2248 Calories out. 198 Net Carbs (the little Debbies are so much worse than the Oreos!). 10,183 Total Steps & 4.32 Miles. No IF yesterday. I slept 4 hours & 12 minutes & suffered severe Restless Leg Syndrome all night from the sugar. I very briskly walked for 17 minutes but did not dance yesterday.
02/24 ….. 189.0 ….. I am trusting the process here. Good day yesterday. 1111 Calories in / 2369 Calories Out. 14 Net Carbs. 13,161 Total Steps & 5.57 Total Miles. IF 17:7. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I charged my fitbit overnight, but got over 5 hours of sleep. I danced for 41 minutes, Sample Song “The Wanderer” by Dion. Tons of work today. I will get my steps in no problem. Have a great day everyone!
02/25 …..188.6 ….. Slowly melting pound. But every little bit counts, right? Yesterdays stats: 1350 Calories In / 2455 Calories Out. 23 Net which was mostly veggies in my Curry bowl & 1 c. of Fairlife 2% milk. 14,200 Total Steps & 6.04 Miles. IF 16:8. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 13 min which was phenomenal! I took a very brisk & fast outdoor 10 minute walk & I danced for 40 minutes. Sample song “ Another one bites the dust” by Queen in honor of their Oscar performance where they sang “We are the Champions.” I enjoyed my evening watching the Academy Awards & especially liked seeing Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper perform “Shallow”. I agree with the critics that it was very “intimate”. But the nature of the movie & how it ended – just to be together again, I get it. Anyway, have a great week everyone.

02/26 ….. 188.0….. A very nice strong day again yesterday but no exercise. I worked late & then in-home movie night with my friend & son. Popcorn & hot cocoa for them. Water with grapefruit essential oil drops for me. It’s coming off very slowly but moving in the right direction. Cancelled travel plans for Thursday due to incoming weather. Yesterdays stats: 1381 Calories In / 2559 Calories Out. Net Carbs 19 including Peanut butter. 10,304 Total Steps & 4.36 Total Miles. If 15:9. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 14 minutes. Woke up feeling refreshed but that may change later. No dancing. I missed the music but enjoyed the movie.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/22: 227.8: 14,347 steps, started couch to 5k again (last time I hurt myself and couldn't keep up the running). Got in running/walking time, some weights, jacuzzi/pool time, went out for dinner and walk around town even though there is still ice and snow on the ground!
02/23: 227.8: 4,682 steps, I had to work the dayshift and I was unable to get to the gym before it closed. But watched my calories and made sure not to overeat while at work, which is an amazing feat in of itself.
02/24: 224.4: Steps are still counting for the day but they are going to be low. My hip has been out again and causing tremendous pain down my leg. I am going to make it tomorrow no matter what and try and walk it out. I was happy with my loss. Getting back into the grove of my diet always shows tremendous gains (or losses!). I just have to be mindful while eating at ork and not overeat.
02/25: 227.1: I knew there was going to be a gain. With no gym and barely any moving around yesterday I just couldn't see how sitting around and eating would help. I am off to do shopping and the gym before heading to work, so hopefully back on losing weight train. I think I overate at dinner and at too much salad and chicken, who knew but I didn't stop when I was full. I need to be more aware of that, especially at work.
02/26: 222.7: 10,478 steps, I actually did Wk1/D2 of the C25k program and I did it outside, it was the first time I have run outside since I was a teenager. I was quite mindful of what I was eating and to stop when I was full and I didn't eat after 8pm while sitting at work, which is a huge hurdle for me. It is difficult to be at work until midnight and not pick at something for several hours. I am feeling good about the loss, but always confused about the large decreases, but as long as I am trending down!

Feb 22 152.2 yay❣️
Feb 23 152 I did OK yesterday, better on the 21st. But today, Feb 23, I’m really struggling with food, as I did Feb 19-20. First time in 15 months. Not sure why it changed. Also very tired, struggling with exercise- today is the first day in 11 months I haven’t done dedicated exercise. It’s very odd. My toes & fingers are tingling, hot, cold, or pins & needles & have been since Feb 19. No idea why. Called dr, and they are not concerned as all my labs are great. I hope it will all go away, and I’ll get back to normal.
UPDATE: After typing this, I just couldn’t skip my daily exercise. I also thought a walk might help the symptoms. Asked my husband to walk with me 9-10 pm. Appreciative that he loves to walk & happily said yes! Habits are amazing.

Feb 24 153.4 Got back on track because of MFP UAC Group.
Feb 25 151 2nd day in a row with a calorie deficit. Walked over 13K, feeling like myself again❣️Appetite is back to normal. 2 days down, 3 to go.

Feb 26 151.6! Struggling with urges a bit, but keeping busy & not giving in.

@SheilaBoneham I live in a small seaside town where Belfast Lough meets the Irish Sea.

This is a great thread for accountability and support.

This is the small village a mile from where I live, where we often walk along the coast. Scotland is a smudge on the horizon.

Back for another round. Posting weight each morning, and comments for the previous day.
In October 2017 I weighed 158lbs. My aim for 2019 is to reach 155.

Round 68 ~|~ End goal: <164
Thurs, 21/02: 164.5: Goals: Dance class this morning, weights w/o and yoga after lunch.
Fairly happy with Round 68. Looking forward Round 69. I've been doing this Challenge since June 2017. This time last year I was 172 lbs. Today? 164.5! Vive le difference! It's been up and down, but the trend is downward!

Round 69 ~|~ End Goal: < 164
Fri 22/02: 164.5: Goals: Gym session with personal trainer + Week 5 Boditrax review. ✅Assessment showed small improvements in all areas. Down 1.8lbs. Did 50 mins treadmill/stationary bike/weights.
Sat 23/02: 164.4: Goals: 20 mins circuits/60 mins HIIT/60 mins yoga. ✅kept my circuits relatively low key as my muscles were protesting. Almost scuppered myself last night calorie wise, but fortunately, reined it in while I was still under goal. Not good as a general practice, though
Sun 24/02: 164.8: Goals: rest and leisurely walking only today. Keep as close to basic calories as possible. ✅Muscles appreciated the rest today. I did some bodyweight arm exercises, and gentle stretching + walking.
Mon 25/02: 164.9: Goals: HIIT/Tai Chi/walking. ✅
Tues 26/02: 164.6: Goals: HIIT/walking ✅ Posting very late today (bedtime! 😂). Managed my goals. Pleased that the weekend weight is on the move. I think I may post in the evenings in future. [/i]

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

I am in for round 69! I am hoping to achieve my second major goal which is a little bit looser as 190-195 (securely in 1-derland). My reward for this goal is a full body massage! Especially as I intend to increase my activity levels.

27/02: 197.4 lbs … at least it’s going down, but adjusting my goal end of round goal now

03/03: goal: 194.x lbs ambitious goal - but I want to go for it!

Looking for a general downward trend. Really focused on my logging, and on clean eating, and MOVING more - which is what I love - it gives me ENERGY!

👍🏼👍🏼 This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE. 👍🏼👍🏼

Round 68 🔺 -1.8lbs

02/22: 207.4 - Still sick, but DS is feeling better so I finally got a decent night sleep. Hoping to see a continued downward trend as I get well. 📉

02/23: 206.8 - Slowly on the mend. Guest leaves tomorrow, then I’ll officially be back in a deficit. ✈️

02/24: 206.0 - Looks like I must have overestimated some of our meals out this week because I’m still dropping despite theoretically being at maintenance. Few restaurants here are in the database & none post nutritional info. 🧮

02/25: 205.0 - Finally feeling better! Looks like I’m dropping some water weight that my body held on to while I was sick. 💧

02/26: 204.4 - Still dropping. Awesome! 🤩

02/27: 204.8 - Looks like my body found where it wants to be for now. I always follow this pattern when I have a “whoosh”: I drop for several days, then it settles just above my lowest. 💭

)
02/23 - 162.4 (slept a Lot, drank over 100oz water, enjoyed an inspiring message at church, walked outside with friends for an hour, and ate well though maybe a bit later than usual and some extra starch. Great day! Will probably see that starch effect tomorrow though, lol.)

02/25 - 165.0 (Hehe. I weighed myself WAY into the afternoon because the a.m. was such a rush! That plus salty things yesterday and today makes the daily 100 oz of water I drink to hang on for dear life... ! lol! Hm... need to move more tomorrow, and preferably while multitasking because there is much to do! I hope everyone is having a good week so far! Hang in there!)
02/26 - 163.6 (Eating well today, drinking plenty of water, and trying to move around as much as possible. This is probably my Achilles' heel at the moment! We're half way there guys!)

”Consistency over a day - no problem. Consistency over a week - ehh. Consistency over a month is hard. Now think about consistency over six months or a year. That takes grit, accountability and preparation.”— Author Unknown

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

Round 64 - SW 373.4 EW 369 (-4.4)
Round 65 - SW 370.8 EW 375.4 (+4.6)
Round 66 - SW 376 EW 373.6 (-2.4)
Round 67 – Did not participate (2/11/19 375.4)
Round 68 - SW 375.2 EW 377 (+1.8)
Net change 2019 = (+3.6)

Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

This challenge:- stay focused; keep tracking and stay accountable....ooooh, and be honest with tracking! New Fitbit Versa keeping me on track - loving it so far.
Mini goal:- 164 - into 'just fat' and out of obese. I think I've met this at last. Below 164 seems to be sticking!
Mini goal:- 160 - just a nice round number - and hopefully me not looking so round!
UGoal:- 134

2/25/19 163.6 70 mins treadmill. Calories only just in, had a good home cooked dinner. Very long, stressful day at school, was just wishing it would be over

02/23 80.1kg still here still going strong. I'll get there!
02/24 80.0kg 1st mini target met 💃🏽I'm down to my pre vacation weight of July last year. Next mini target soon of losing 10% of my body weight. Today is relaxing with my sewing machine day - I'm not sewing clothes until I'm closer to goal so it's a wallet today and maybe some paper piecing.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 - 178.4lbs - slightly up. No biggie. Am expecting the same for tomorrow and sundays weigh ins as out drinking tomorrow night for a friends 30th and MIL is doing fish and chips on Saturday. So tasty, but sooo many calories! Lol
02/23 - 180.4lbs - this is the result of having a McDonalds at lunch time (a treat from work), alcohol in the evening and indulging in the treats at the party (chocolate fountain anyone?! Lol). Oh well, I enjoyed myself, don't feel guilty and know it will come off again

02/24 - 180lbs - so begins the drops again.

back to normal routine today, so should see another drop tomorrow too

02/25 - 179.4lbs - still dropping, slowly. Bit frustrated as its official weigh in day and its artificially high as (tmi) no bm yesterday. Oh well.
02/26 - 178lbs - there it is! Have a great day all.
02/27 - 177.8lbs - back to where I was at the start of the round at last. 4 days to get a loss for this round!

@hoshaugh73 I wonder how long it will take me to be able to do the whole workout? I'd like to find out, so I saved it to my watch list. Hopefully, my old joints will hold out. If I don't overdo in the beginning, I think I'll be able to do it within 3 months. That may seem like a long-term goal, but I'm not a spring chicken.

You can do it!!!

***I do it at my pace, not the pace the girl in the video is doing it. 👍
