JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 76

I haven't participated since round 38. Clearly I did better with you lovely folks.

05/03 270.2 Feeling pretty good about today. Made it through the first three days of low carb diet and went for a jog last night. Seeing a weight drop is really uplifting.

05/04 268.6 Worked last night. Nothing like a 13 hour shift to help get the blood moving!

Goal: will this be the round to mark GW2? Was hoping that since round 71. Let's see.

05/03-94.6kg and 4,300 steps. Today is a good day, becuase today I get to mark Mini GW2! Been waiting for it for long, and probably not a good idea to start a round low, but I'm taking it with both hands! Woohoo!
05/04-94.6kg and 5,500 steps. Nice and steady. Should walk more.

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.

Start Weight Feb 2018 - 202
Next Goal - 170 I will get there.
Ultimate Goal - 145-150

Round 70 - SW - 179.6 EW- 177.4 - average weight over 10 days - 178.1
Round 71 - SW - 175.4 EW - 178.2 Average weight over 10 days - 178.3
Round 72 - SW - 182.4 EW -180.2 Average weight over 10 days - 179.8
Round 73 - SW - 181.4 EW - 183.2 Average weight over 10 days - 181.3
Round 74 - SW - 181.4 EW - 180.4 - Average weight over 10 days - 181.4
Round 75 - SW - 179.4 EW - 178.2 - Average weight over 10 days - 178.4

May 3 - 175.2 - I started swim lessons last night again. I haven’t been in the water since my last set ended in August. This is a stroke improvement class and this instructor is probably the best I have had. Weight is funnily low today, not sure how much I trust it, but it was nice to see.

May 4 - 179.4 - I don’t believe my scales anymore. I have changed the battery and the fluctuations are still a bit insane. I guess I’ll have to break down and get another one. I was expecting to be a bit up today though because yesterday was not a good eating day.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/03 - 313.3 lbs/ I felt good yesterday, and feel like I'm finally in a place to stick to it again. Glad I found this challenge!

05/04 - 312.2/ still feeling good. Working on writing when I want to eat so I can try to evaluate if I'm actually hungry or if it's a bored/emotional/binge thing. So far that's helping, I think...

05/02 …..197.6 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

05/03 …..197.4 ….. 1708 Calories In / 2245 Calories Out. 83 Net Carbs. 8243 Total Steps & 3.49 Total Miles. IF 16:8. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 45 minutes. I did 14 minutes on my brother’s elliptical (he lives next door). Kitchen remodel still in full swing. No stove, no sinks & I can’t get to the refrigerator well. I moved the microwave to a different location & can warm some frozen dinners from my garage freezer, but the carbs do not fall in line with what I wanted. Otherwise, I am trying to be careful & mindful. What’s done so far in the room is looking fantastic. They will be back on Monday, so at least I can get to my fridge over the weekend. Still no sink or water, but they plugged in the stove for me when they left at 4:30. I hope you all will have a fabulous round. I expect another challenging round for me between the celebrations & the remodel but my jeans were tight putting them on today so I have renewed motivation! I dropped .2 pounds today, could be water, could be worry!  Good luck everyone!


05/04 ….. 196.2….. Whoosh, there it is! Finally the deficits are rearing their LOVELY head! Yesterdays Stats: 1384 Calories In / 2223 Calories out. 29 Net Carbs which included veggies & 4% cottage cheese. An administrative day mostly sitting at the desk. Not much movement which is difficult right now anyway. I can’t get through my kitchen & livingroom with the remodel & I can’t leave so movement will be at a minimum most days. 8407 Total Steps & 3.56 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 50 minutes. Finally I’m off the 3 hour per night streak!!!! Sunny & beautiful today. I hope to get some outside yard work in since the carpenter isn’t coming today. Enjoy your day everyone!

@MSWDiet Welcome to the group! So glad you are joining us for your journey.

@cygnus_atratus I am so sorry for your loss. It is difficult to lose someone so near & dear to your heart.

34th Round for me: Female 66, height 5’
Goals this round: Stay in the 150’s and hopefully end with 157something or lower. Keep daily movement up with yard work and house painting. Get a punch pass for the gym and go once a week at least to keep muscle. This month is so busy that that will be a challenge.
We are planning a trip the beginning of June to help with a new grandbaby (that should be good for a bit of a loss) but the real motivator is a family reunion mid-July; just under 10 weeks away. My family is mostly average weight and very nonjudgmental but it would be nice to feel more comfortable wearing a swim suit or shorts.
Day/Weight/Comment
05/03 – 159.8 – No LNS last evening although I did eat dessert at supper. Woke up feeling so much better today. Lovely weather so I’m planning on moving perennials with some help from DH.
05/04 – 160.2 – Two cookies and some licorice (found by accident in the cupboard – of course I have to eat it??) and here I am feeling draggy again. Just have to get my head into a different plan for evenings. If I’m tired and unmotivated, I do stuff on the computer which leads to LNS which makes me start out the next day feeling rotten therefore even more likely to be discouraged the next evening, feeling tired, etc.

Hi everyone! I love this challenge most of the time, but the ones that we have to end on a Sunday or Monday kill me, lol. Oh well, would love to see 146 something this round and to stay out of the 150's again. Ended high last round because of my anniversary dinner, but also saw new lows through out the challenge, so hopefully we can continue the downward trend.

EW Rnd 73: 148.8 (10 day Avg 149.51)
EW Rnd 74: 151.9 up a couple pounds because of vacation and Easter (no 10 day avg/didn't weigh 5 days)
EW Rnd 75: 148.8 (10 day Avg 148.41)

05/03 - 147.3 back down to Wednesdays weight before my bloody Mary sodium gain, lol. I am ending this week with a 3/10 of a pound loss. Not exactly what I was wanting, but it is a loss so I will take it. My 5 day average was down almost a whole pound, 8/10 of a pound to be exact, but still good. The weekend is here and all I want to do is stay under 150! Happy Friday everyone!

05/04 - 148.2 had a couple beers with dinner last night and ate super late, but ate super low calorie. Should be back down tomorrow. Water water and more water and no alcohol!

JGM10D ~|~ Round 76
Posting weight and comments each evening.
My aim for 2019 is to reach 155.
I am FOCUSED on heathy food choices and DETERMINED to achieve my goals!
Fri 03/05: 163.6: Goals: Move more than I did yesterday ✅ Slowly building my steps back up. And the scale continues to drop. I seem to have lost my appetite for snack foods!
Sat 04/05: Goals: move more than yesterday, spring-clean bedroom ✅ Now I’ve developed a throaty head cold. Gotta get on top of this! Feel really washed out!

Previous Round Daily Goals

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you. Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

05/03/19 - 256.6 - Started the day with some avocado toast.
05/04/19 - 253.8 - Welp. This is normal for me. My body stays the same weight for 2-3 weeks and then suddenly it starts dropping like crazy within a few days. So this is just that drop happening. That isn't to say I'm not grateful - definitely loving this number!!
I started the day with jelly toast this time XD.
