JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 71
Replies
-
I don’t make a goal to lose here; I see how much I can lose within the 10 days. I do have goals and am on number 3. I don’t count this as completed until 210 or under.
My Goal 3 is to be 210 for March 29th – I will accomplish this ahead of time. I have other goals but have to reevaluate them, due to the weight already loss.
Round 68 SW: 225.8 – EW: 219.8 (↓6lbs)
Round 69 SW: 219.2 -EW: 215.8 (↓4lbs)
Round 70 SW: 215.8 – EW: 210.8 (↓5lbs)
Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 – 210.2 – comments
03/15 - 210.0 – met my March 29th goal of weighing 210. I have to reevaluate goals today (was waiting for this weigh-in to do this).
03/16 210.6 – no complaints or explanations just moving onto the next day! I finally got new bands for my tracker a couple days ago and yesterday walked over 11,000 steps for me that is a lot.
03/17 – 209.8 my scale is screwy this morning, every time I stepped on it, it was a different weight all lower (207.2, 209.4), the last time I stepped it shot up to 210.8 (I know this amount is not correct), so I took the first one when stepped on the scale (the weight you see), I hate this scale really liked my first one, but it seems off since my hubby fixed it.
03/18 - 209
03/19 – 209.4 Surprised by this but I shouldn’t be, because started the day out by eating cookies, and it went down from there even though within my calories and a lot of exercise and movement so would not show on the scale my bad choices.
03/20 – 209.8 I can’t keep dwelling on it, this morning. I must let it be what it is and figure out what I am doing wrong. I am under calories always, I exercised more the past couple days, and got my 10,000 steps in, drink lots of water.
03/21 – 210.6 I don’t know what is going on here, I don’t cheat with calories, because I exercise and this allows for the calorie increase, I drink lots of water, I don’t eat after 6pm. The only difference is yesterday didn’t get extra exercising in. I don’t binge eat. I’m so disappointed.
03/22 – 209.8 Better than yesterdays weigh-in!

R71 my R2
Last round got off to a difficult start but I had a woosh at the end and exceeded my goal by 2 pounds.
I'm setting my new goal at 153
This round I'm going to concentrate on staying really hydrated, getting lots of sleep, keeping up my 5 gym days and avoiding wheat/potatoes.
3/14- 154.6 starting the round with a new low! Recovering today from two heavy exercise classes back to back yesterday. I might need to pace myself as today I've been feeling quite weak.
3/15 - 153.6 (-1#) I wasn't expecting this drop and am thrilled because it puts me into the 10 stone bracket, just! Going out to dinner tonight though so I expect it'll go back up.
3/16 - 154.4 (-0.2#) yep, as expected, its back up a bit. Did an exercise class so that gave me some flexibility with calories for the meal out. I managed to stay within my calories by choosing wisely. It was an Indian restaurant so choosing something without tons of oil is tricky but I went for chicken shashlik and alcohol free beer. Going to cinema tonight so that's going to be another challenge! I won't drink again tonight as it makes it so much easier to make food choices!
3/17 - 154.6 (-0#) another tricky day yesterday, went shopping and had lunch at pizza hut. Had a flatbread pizza and a couple of bowls of salad but stuck to vegetables with French dressing. Cinema in the evening, had a few crisps and chocolates but not much. No gym but stayed within calories.
3/18 - 155 (+0.4#) yuk, no-one likes a gain! Did two exercise classes back to back yesterday and was quite tired afterwards so ended up taking a nap. I was feeling sore and drained in the evening so had a mini binge on some biscuits. Carby day! Five more weigh ins to get down 2#!
3/19 - 153.4 (-1.2#) yay back down again and a new low! Didn't workout yesterday but had a very physically demanding day clearing out the garage and fitting my new workshop. Crashed out in the evening and had two blackberry muffins for dinner! (Can't resist my daughter's baking) still feeling quite worn out today. Going to visit an old friend which is lovely but she always makes a cake so I may be having cake for lunch!
3/20 - 152.6 (-2#) I think I just lost a shed load of water weight as I have been feeling achy and tired and yesterday I was peeing a lot! Didn't end up visiting my friend so was able to eat carefully. However I had a mini binge on a white bread roll with butter and a beer. Oops!
Haven't been to the gym since Sunday as I've just not felt recovered enough and it's getting me down. Also I'm concerned that a large part of my weight loss it's muscle loss as I feel like I'm losing strength and my biceps/upper arms have shrunk quite rapidly, this is not good.
3/21- 151.6 (-3#) down again! I'm not going to change my goal weight though as that's tempting fate! Yesterday I rested a lot during the day and didn't eat much. Did a body combat class in the evening which I found really tough. I think I need to make sure I've eaten enough if in gonna attempt that class again as I just burned out really quickly. Starting to get hopeful that I might get into the 140s next week but totm is looming and that usually brings a plateau of a week or so.
3/22 - 152.4 (-2.02#) weighed after breakfast as was too hungry to wait! Did spin class and 90 mins yoga so feeling really stiff today = water retention? Had salty fatty sweet cravings last night but managed to stay within calories. Last day our challenge tomorrow but as it's Friday anything could happen!

SW and BMI: 156 lbs, 27.6 (May 2018)
CW and BMI: 122.3 lbs, 21.6
GW and BMI: 116 lbs, 20.5
Round 69: 126.3 -> 125 (1.3 lb loss)
Round 70: 124.8 -> 122.5 (2.3 lb loss)
14 March: 122.3 lbs * Round three for me! I'm going to set my Round 71 goal weight at 121.3 lbs, so a pound loss over the next 10 days. Going out for dinner tonight and I've already put my meal into MFP so off to a good start!
15 March: 122 lbs * While at dinner last night I was tempted by a slice of chocolate cake for dessert. After looking the calories up on the restaurant's website and seeing it would only put me over my calorie budget by 75 I figured... screw it, and went for it. I opted not to get the ice cream on the side which would have put me over another 200 and wouldn't have been worth it. But the chocolate cake was! Didn't seem to harm anything as I was still in a deficit and the scale still went down this morning.
16 March: 122.5 lbs * I ate a massive chunk of my calories last night waaaaay after 8PM (when I usually stop eating for the night), so this wasn't a shock.
17 March: 122.3 lbs * Going back down -- feeling good! I've rediscovered granola and yogurt for breakfast. Sooo tasty and filling!
18 March: 122.3 lbs * I weighed in earlier than normal this morning but I didn't want to wait cause I was hungry. Need to drink more water today!
19 March: 122.3 lbs * Apparently my body really enjoys being this weight. Not worrying too much as I'm sticking to my calories and drinking lot of water. Trusting the system!
20 March: 122 lbs * Back down to my lowest this morning, I was very happy to see that! Date night with my husband tonight, might eat at maintenance but not sure yet. Leaving the option open.
I'll be eating the majority of my calories for dinner tonight regardless so I won't be too surprised if there's a small increase on the scale tomorrow morning.
21 March: 122 lbs * I decided I didn't need to eat at maintenance last night since I was full-up from dinner. I'm feeling really good lately. My sleep is amazing, I have so much more energy. I've fallen in love with cooking all over again. And I'm still enjoying all the food I always have. Eating things I like in moderation is the key to my mental success, 100%. I focused too much in the past on letting other people's unsolicited advice tell me how and what I should be eating ("don't do x", "don't do y"). But lately I have been listening to my own body and judging my progress based on how I am feeling mentally and physically. I feel that this has been the biggest positive change. This journey has been more of a mental hurdle than anything and every day its getting easier. I really do feel like I could do this forever!
22 March: 121.5 lbs * Happy to see this small dip! Bit of a slower week but I've kept to my calorie budget and made some other positive changes. These last 5.5lbs will be slow but I'm in no rush. One more day until the end of the round!

03/14 – 188.3 – great way to start after no loss the last round.
03/15 – 187.0 – So excited with this after the last round. I just need to keep recorded all food, drinking my water, and no alcohol.
03/16 – 187.4 – really glad to stay below 188 because I had wine and pizza last night. Didn’t go over calories to much but I still did ate more than I should have
03/17 – no scale and I didn’t eat right. I was out of town with family. We did do a long hike.
03/18 – 187.6 – still ok with this after the weekend’s eating. Back on track today.
03/19 – 188.9 – not happy with this, but I will keep plugging away. I’m hoping the weather will turn nice so I can start walking.
03/20 – 187.4 – Yea! Recorded all food, no alcohol, and drank all my water.
03/21 – 187.8 – slight gain, but had a beer last night and Mexican food. Still drank all my water.
03/22 – 187.4 – steady in the 187s. Had some leftover Mexican food, but no alcohol and drank all my water. Hopeful to end this round with a good loss.

03/14 – 142 – Holding steady which is a surprise due to my stress snacking lately.
03/15 – 142.5 – There’s the snacking. It could also just be some water weight, it happens all the time.
03/16 – 142 – Yesterday was such a crazy day I had no time to pack food for work or cook at home. I drove through the drive thru at McDonalds and got an egg mcmuffin w/o Canadian bacon for breakfast, a co-worker grabbed lunch at Chick-fil-a and I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich, then my sick husband wanted pizza for supper so I ate one piece. Although I’m surprised the sodium/carbs didn’t hit this morning, I have to say my choices and quantities are better than I would have made before I started my weight loss last year. I know I could have ordered salads, but all in all it wasn’t a terrible calorie day and I felt satisfied.
03/17 - 143.5 - I knew it might take a couple days to show up! I'll be so glad when tax season is over and I can get back to a normal life.
03/18 – 144.5 – I wish I could say this was due to a fun night of partying last night. I know I didn’t eat enough to gain over 2 pounds so hopefully sticking to my weight loss calories and drinking plenty of water will get me back to the middle of my maintenance range by the end of the week.
03/19 – 144 – Slowly moving back down.
03/20 – 142.5 – That moved quicker than I thought it would!
03/21 – 141.5 – A new low!
03/22 – 139.5 – Not exactly sure what’s going on here. The past few days I haven’t felt well and as of last night I’m on antibiotics for a boil I had to have lanced yesterday. I weighed 144 at the Dr. office last night, fully dressed with shoes, so either my scale is acting up or the antibiotics took care of a lot of inflammation overnight. Either way, it’s nice to go into the weekend at this weight.

03/14 245.0 Up .2 for today. No worries.
03/15 243.4 There we go! Headed back the right direction. Expecting this drastic loss to taper off shortly.
03/16 242.6 Very busy day. Lots of people over for an event at my house... luckily, not an eating event!
03/17 241.0 Told you it was a busy day.
03/18 241.2 Was done in by the Blazin Saddles Burger at Ray's Deli...

03/20 242.2 Well, that was surprising. I was fully expecting to be in the 230's this morning. Must have been the General Tso's Chicken for lunch. Stayed under my calorie goal, worked out like usual... We'll see tomorrow.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 198.4 up 1.2 pounds from yesterday, ate more than I should have for dinner (darn delicious French fries!😩) did make it on the treadmill, felt heavy and tired, but got the full 31 minutes in. Hoping to be down to 195 for this round.
03/15 199.2 up a little bit, but I’m ok with that because I felt stronger on the treadmill and was around goal for calories. Today will be a different story, having dinner out and it’s the weekend! 🤷♀️
03/16 200.2. Just like I figured, went overboard on eating. The husband is working this weekend so I can focus on my eating (or not eating) and getting my workouts in. I just need to make it through the weekend and no excuses!
03/17 199.6. Feeling good about the little loss. Kept calories down. Had a huge sugar craving at night but fought it and did a juice instead. Then made crackers out of the leftover pulp! My first attempt, need some work but pretty impressed. Today’s agenda includes house cleaning, groceries and meal planning (for a successful week) bring it in strong for the week everyone! ✋🏻👊🏻
03/18 198.4. Yea!! Made it through the weekend. ☺️
03/19 198.4. Holding steady. The husband is working the next three nights, I will be using the treadmill.
03/20 197.6 four more days, I can do this! I did w2d1 on the treadmill last night. (Couch 2 5k) I’ve started that program over so many times and have never finished it! 😂 but I love the app. Will be using it again tonight, I don’t know why I can’t remember that it’s kinda relaxing and that I should keep using it, be more consistent.
03/21 197.4. Stayed under calories, didn’t feel like doing anything after work and went to bed somewhat early. My real goal for this round is to get under 197, it’s been elusive for a long time. Two more days!!
03/22 196.6 I did it!! It’s been a long time since I’ve gotten below 197, I feel like I broke the barrier. I’m really excited!! Now to make it through the weekend....

03/22 - 156.7 - Bit of a whoosh from TOM. Still anticipate a little more loss in the coming days, just not as much as this one. Usually takes a couple days to get rid of all that excess TOM weight for me. But I'm back to my start weight despite it all which bodes well in my eyes (knowing of this timing, I figured I'd end higher this round). Today is my "cheat day" because I do my weekly weigh-ins for my work's Biggest Loser challenge but I brought lunch and plan to keep it simple with a pot roast I made last night. ONE MORE DAY (: I would love to see progress so I'll forgo my "Fat Friday" as we call it here and stick with the plan.

NSV: I measured myself today. Since last month, I'm down 1/2" on my neck, 2" on my waist and 1.5" on my hips, and 1/2" on my chest! The scale may not have budged much at work but the tape measure sure did!14 -

03/18- 209.4 lb My St. Patrick's Day pub crawl caused the 0.4 lb gain. Back-on-track, today!
03/19- 209.2 lb Social drinking, again, erased most of my efforts from yesterday. Time to eradicate it!
03/20- 208.3 lb Back on track!
03/21- 207.2 lb Expected larger loss, but water retention (high sodium intake, yesterday) probably the culprit.
03/22- 208.3 lb Alcohol + overeating got the best of me, yesterday. Damage control, today.

Hi-I’m Karen
Sept. 2018 OSW 187 (Was my Round #1)
UGW 135.....yes, 135!
Goal this round-159-hopefully! I got down to 162 last round.
3/14-166- I upped my walking miles yesterday, it made me super hungry, I made tomato/feta soup and forgot to be drinking water....
3/15-163- It was so nice here yesterday, I went for a big walk in the morning and then a short one after dinner-that helps.
3/16-No Scale
3/17-No Scale
3/18-167-Long hours traveling to a funeral.It was great to see family. It was nice to pick anything out I wanted to wear, because now, everything fits.
3/19-165-Back to walking a couple of times a day-the dogs love it and we have another warm day before it rains tomorrow.
3/20-163-I am getting back down to where I was after all of the “fun” binge eating I did on the 16th & 17th. It sure takes work to get back into the swing of things. I upped my walking to 7 miles.
3/21-163-I am happy with that, after nasty weather yesterday; instead of walking, I stayed in and sewed and made clam chowder. Today, I should be able to get a good long walk in. My husband started walking a mile or so with me before he goes to work and and that is nice. We also have been walking a mile after dinner since the days are longer; we sleep better too.
3/22-166-I walked 7 miles in the morning, but ate heavy, salty food, and no evening walk. Tonight we eat out, hopefully I’ll
do OK.
It’s wonderful to have ALL of you here!☕️🌸12 -

Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 - 149
Today's my 27th wedding anniversary - yay us! We're going out, of course, but I have my meal planned and it's well within bounds. I also plan to hit the gym. I figure this is as good a day as any to start over.
03/15 - 149.4
That’s ok. We had a nice celebration yesterday and I went slightly over calories, but not bad. Off to the Y in a bit to work it off.
03/16 - 148.8
I've been trying to lay off the baking, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to make Irish soda bread or scones for tomorrow. At least I'm not planning to make Guinness brownies!
Have a great weekend, all!
03/17 - 147.6
Finally going the right direction again. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
03/18 - 147.8
I made soda bread yesterday for St. Gertrude's Day (patron saint of cats - much more appealing than grumpy old St. Patrick!) and, I confess, I ate a little more than I should have -- but with low-cal cabbage soup, so balance, balance.... My campaign to stop snacking at night has fallen short over the weekend, too, so I'm back to my "write it down first" project to try to get a grip. I'd do something with my hands while watching Netflix - knit, for instance - but I have a kitten who wants to help. Have a good week, all!
03/19 - 147.6
Nothing new.
03/20 - 151
Oh, come on. That isn't even possible. I did go over my calorie goal and had salt, but really? 3.4 lbs? But...ok, I have to stop eating too much. I don't know what's wrong with me. I've reverted to my long-ago habits after 4 years of eating clean and proper. I guess this shows we're never really "cured" of old behaviors. But today is a new day and I'll try to clean up my act.
03/21 - 150.6
I ate properly yesterday but feel a bit bloaty, so I'm sure I'm retaining water for some reason. That's not to dismiss weight I've gained, but I'm hopeful it's not quite as bad as it looks Anyway, my two goals going forward are to keep my calories in check and stop snacking.
03/22 - 148.8
That's better.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/14: 197.8 (Yay for a new challenge! I weighed in heavier than yesterdays weight (197.4), but it has to do with my increased exercise last night which was 45 minutes on the elliptical sweating buckets. I had a small cheese quesadilla last night with chips and salsa for dinner. My official weigh in is on Friday's, so I'm excited to see what my results are tomorrow. Oh by the way, my weight today is the lowest I have weighed since September of 2015!! I almost cried.)
03/15: 197.8 (Same weight as yesterday, but that's okay! My official weigh in day is on Friday's and from last Friday I have lost 1.6 pounds. That makes me very happy! I did an upper body strength training workout and I'm a little sore. I had baked fries and homemade Philly cheesesteaks last night which were awesome!
03/16: 197.6 ( A little bit of a drop! I did no workout last night and had a nice big burrito for dinner haha. I can’t workout til tomorrow since I just got my first laser hair removal session today. I’ll be doing an hour workout tomorrow evening to offset today. Have a nice weekend!)
03/17: 198.6 (this gain was lower than expected! I only had half a beer last night for a little St Patrick’s day celebration which is a win for me. I ate less than what I planned for since I save calories for the weekends. I’m also 2 pounds less than last Sunday!)
03/18: 200.0 (I worked out for an hour yesterday doing 45 minutes of elliptical training and 15 minutes of total body training. Most of the time, when I workout hard I see a gain the following day. I also ate at a deficit. At least I'm 0.6 pounds less than last Monday! I'm hoping for a great week, even though TOM is visiting on Friday. Let's do this!)
03/19: 199.4 (A small drop this morning but a little less than usual. I did a 20 minute HIIT workout on the elliptical and a 15 minute core workout. My legs are a little on the sore side! Last night I had a Grocery store Asian takeout night complements of Trader Joe's I also may be holding on to some sodium and water weight for TOM on Friday! I'm curious to see what the effects would be of all this by the end of the challenge.)
03/20: 199.2 (TOM came early yesterday afternoon, 3 days to be exact!
No wonder the weight was staying on! Sometimes it sucks to be a woman, but oh well I can't do anything lol. Last night I made some chicken noodle soup and had a piece of garlic bread. I also did my upper body strength training workout and I increased the reps and weight. I'll just be sticking to this for the next few days and see if the water weight drops before my trip to Vegas this weekend.)
03/21: 198.6 (TOM weight gain continuously brings my mood down, but I have to stay the course and be more positive! I only have 1 more day for a weigh in and if I don't get down to my goal, at least I know the reasons why. My soreness, TOM weight and TMI constipation that goes along with TOM is really really affecting me this week. Last night I had some cauliflower mashed potatoes, steak and Caesar salad and did a total body workout.)
03/22: 199.6 (This was not fun to wake up to! I’m on my way to Vegas right now and I’m going to enjoy my trip. I didn’t make my goals, but there’s always the next round!! I did no workout and packed all night while eating pizza which I’m sure is mostly water weight that I gained in addition to TOM weight.)

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 have been participating in this challenge since Round 40 My average loss/gain since Round 40 to 63 is a 0.5lb loss each round. This was better than I expected!

Day/Weight/Comment
3/14 - 171.2 - 20g carbs, 15g net carbs. Carbs were: steamables golden potatoes (6.5gcarb), salad, deli smoked turkey, manzanilla olives, cucumber ranch dressing, au jus sauce. Okay, my weight has settled here for today. Probably that tiny potato 😂 Dinner was 2 hours later than I planned, due to this HUGE chuck roast I was cooking. It took 2+ hrs in the pressure cooker! with a couple of stops and starts to check it during the process. Should have put the 2nd weight on the pot.
3/15 - 172.2 - 32g carbs, 26g net carbs. Carbs were: salad, olives, dill pickle, grape tomatoes, jalapenos, peanut butter, almonds, walnuts, deli smoked turkey. A little fluid retention..... from exercise, not carbs! Knee is behaving, so back to strengthing quads and hams. Taking it low and slow, but consistently. I'm dealing with old shoulder injuries too, so must not be impatient with myself trying to do sets, reps and long workouts like I used to do.
3/16 - 173 - Normal fluctuation. 35g carbs, 27g net carbs. Carbs were: Strawberries, salad, peanut butter, celery, carrot, apple in chicken salad, cranberry cheddar, spaghetti squash, au jus sauce. Did not take vitamins 2 days, Th, F.
3/17 - 171.2 - 38g carbs, 28g net carbs. Too much peanut butter! Need B's. I did take my vitamins. Carbs were: green beans, au jus sauce, olives, deli smoked turkey, peanut butter.
Carb count increased from peanut butter.
3/18 - 171 - 26g carbs, 19g net carbs. Carbs were: eggs, spinach, salad, strawberries, peanut butter, sundried tomato dressing. It's going to be a slow roll with some backtracking out of the 170's. That was my normal pattern of weightloss before October 2018. Now I've buckled down and become conscious of the issues holding me in this decade for so long. With humbleness, prayer, guidance and thankfulness, I'm certain that I will exit this learning phase successfully. ☺
3/19 - 171.2 - 21g carbs, 16g net carbs. Carbs were: peanut butter, spinach and peppers as toppings on chicken crust pizza. Not very hungry yesterday, only ate 2/3 of allotted calories. If it wasn't for the peanut butter it would have been closer to 1/3!
3/20 - 172.2 - Back here again, but it's not 177 thank goodness! 32g carbs, 25g carbs. Carbs were: guacamole, peanut butter, uncured turkey hotdogs, salad, cauliflower, low carb bbq sauce.
3/21 - 170.6 - She's (my body) trying to come to terms with what I'm doing. I guess.😁 35g carbs, 30g net carbs. Carbs were: uncured turkey hotdogs, spaghetti squash, salad, guacamole, cream cheese.
3/22 - 172.8 - Mmmm, giving me push back today.😑 Did not take vitamins yesterday. 26g carbs, 20g net carbs. Carbs were: arugula/spinach, salad, peanut butter, lemon juice & zest, roasted red pepper dressing, multigrain tortilla chips (1/2 oz)

03/14. 189.0. On track with calories and water. Must start to work on increasing exercise.
03/15. 188.8.
03/16. 188.8. The same,. Hoping to maintain at least this weekend.
03/17. 189.2. Weekend bump, and still have family dinner today! We are having Shepherd’S pie for dinner. Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all.
03/18. 189.4. Small gain over weekend, and stayed in the 180s, which I consider a win! Now to get back to basics again.
03/19. 188.4.
03/20. 187.4. This is the low I hit in the last round: hopefully I keep it this time
03/21. 186.6. Keeping my fingers crossed! Am on track with food and water.
03/22. 187.0. Ok no reason for the increase, hoping it’s hidden salt. Do not need a no-reason gain just before the weekend, when I will have reasons-gains, haha
