JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 78

Hmm...I thought I was supposed to edit my initial post to update with info from new days of tracking. When I first posted I was able to edit my comment, now I cannot. How does this work??
Shay_L_D I think you're asking if you can edit your prior - I don't think you can past 1 hour. But you can copy and paste your last post with your last weight into a next text post box and add the new one to the current date. I use a word document and copy it in since that works best for me. The instructions are at the beginning of the challenge feed.
does that help?

New to 10 day challenge but not new to MFP. Struggling with the big picture so the idea of ten days at a time is appealing to me!

Day/Weight/Comment

05/23: 165 A good drop! Not sure if it will stick around right away or not. 6 mile walk yesterday. No time to exercise today.

05/24: 166 I'm not surprised by this. I had more carbs yesterday and ate dinner later than normal. I'm going to walk my 6 miles this morning. Heading out of town to my sister's this weekend so no weigh ins. I am planning on staying mindful of what I eat/drink.

05/25: out of town
05/26: out of town
05/27: 167.8

05/28: 167.0 So I was mindful of what I was doing this weekend but it didn't stop me from giving myself a pass to snack and drink more alcohol than was necessary. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and am back to it today.

05/29: 163.8 wow! A very significant drop! Keep on keeping on...

05/30: 163.0 Even better!

05/31: 163.0 happy to see this number again

05/25 -forgot to weigh in!
05/26 -215.2
05/27 -215.2 fair enough - based on the wknd.
05/28 -215.8 Hmm. ok.
05/29- 216.2 WOAH! Feeling bloated.
05/30- 215 that’s better. Salt, sore muscles, not enough water could have led to the gain over those last few days.

Newbie and starting late, but I'm starting!
Female - Age: 49 - Height 5'0"
Current Weight: 178
Goal Weight: 128

5/26 -
5/27 - 175 - Probably water weight but mentally brings in hope!
5/28 - 175 – Added a fitbit to the regime. Hoping for more motivation. At least it did not go up.
5/29 – 175 - Hmm was hoping for a little movement on the scale. Noticed my water intake is lacking so will add more today and see if that assists me a bit. I know it is a process, keep breathing right?!
5/30 – 175 – Bought a new scale…might help?! Yesterday was an extremely stressful day. I normally eat to help deal with all the feelings but really need to become the best version of myself that I can be. This means I can’t just stuff myself. Truly difficult not to give in. Whole reason I joined all of you is my Mother had a major stroke in Feb. I stopped my life and moved to her to take care of her, pack her house, sell it and move her home with me for a bit until I can find an Assisted Living facility. When I look at my Mom’s weight and overall health, I see myself and that scares me. I really want to change my course. I will not be able to return to my family for a few more months and can’t afford to eat the house down so to speak. Universe I ask for Strength! (AND an apple pie that has no calories!! LOL)
5/31- 174 – In the right direction…Happy Friday Everyone!

Date/Weight/Comment
05/23:..162.4# Same as yesterday but down 1.4# from last week. Did gardening, weed pulling mostly outside for over an hour. Ate steak and potato with dinner so lucky not up. Got an hour weed pulling in this am already. Found small purple Irises that volunteered. Such a great reward.

05/24: 161.8 Down… yeah! Ate very light but healthy.

05/25: 161.8 Same as yesterday. Did at least 3 hours of gardening but ate spaghetti and meatballs in evening. I do better with carbs earlier in the day. My flower beds are looking better. Such a joy to see for me. Planted marigolds around mailbox for the mail man. LOL Going to lunch today. I’ll have salad and protein. Have a fun day everyone.

05/26: 161.4 Down a pound so far this round. Yeah! Gardened for.5 hour yesterday and ate 2 big salad with protein and small ice cream and wine. Turned down a fab dessert at lunch yesterday (pat on back). I had hoped to lose a pound this round so now I’ll aim for another half-pound for this round.

05/27: Can’t remember but was up some. Had one beer and some baby back ribs. Didn’t overeat but…

05/28: 164!!! Good grief; up 2.6# in 2 days. Ok, had one beer and a little(wing and drumstick) fried chicken. Didn’t eat a whole lot. Gotta get to 161.4 to hit goal for this round. That means losing 2.6 over the next few days. Hopefully some of this is water weight.

05/29: 163… it’s a yoyo world.

05/30: 163.2 Came down with cold and cough and ate lots of carbs… better today.

05/31: 162.2 Okaaaay… down .2 from start. More veggies please.

Round 78
OSW - 213
CW - 172.4
RGW - 170.9
UGW - 130
Round 77 SW 172.9 EW 172.4 DIF -.05
Round 78 SW 172.4

5/23 No Scale - I will update the numbers for the last round and beginning round tomorrow when I get on the scale after being in New Orleans for 4 days. I have hope, I haven't gone crazy and I have exercised every day. I've been drinking a ton of water to help with sodium. I went to a beach in Mississippi yesterday and walked four miles. I never get to walk on the beach. Had cheap fresh grilled tuna tacos for dinner. Delicious!!!! I love that my job allows me to travel to places I wouldn't have otherwise, though it makes staying on task difficult.

5/24 172.4 I'm not thrilled, but not mad either. I am down for the round, though up two pounds from when I left. I KNOW I didn't eat enough to gain two pounds. Hopefully, I'll see a drop tomorrow or the next day. My sick friend is out of intensive care and off the ventilator. It was touch and go for two weeks, but he's definitely on the mend. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. It's Friday before a 3 day weekend - WOOHOO!!!!!!!!

5/25 172.0 Still going the right direction. Got three miles in yesterday, trying to get another three in today between showers. Missouri is flooded everywhere. Trails are hard to find that aren’t underwater at least in spots. Some of my flowers look beautiful, some are so beat up I’m not sure they’ll recover.

5/26 172.2 Small uptick isn’t ideal but I got a little too into some Boom-Chicka popcorn last night. That’s ok. I measured every ridiculous bite.

5/27 170.9 Woohoo! This was my goal weight for the round. Good day, yesterday. Nephew and girlfriend came over and I played with the baby (now toddler 18 months). Brought out the pool she was too small for last year. She loved it but never sat down. She crouched the entire time. Love her. I should be able to get a walk in this morning. Maybe I could see 160’s if not this round, then the next one for sure.

5/28 172.0 TOM I think is the cause of this. I was under on calories, didn't go crazy on sodium, drank at least 64 oz of water and sweated like a pig for two hours doing yard work last night after shopping all day. I had 11,221 steps.... I didn't gain a pound overnight.

5/29 172.0 I can only assume this is Mother Nature reminding me that I'm not in charge. Oh well. I had a fast 3-mile walk last night. It should have been a gym night but the weather was so interesting I wanted to be outside. When I got home I even got the front yard mowed before the rain started. We had terrible tornados last night here in the Kansas City area. The wind was already fierce when I was walking, that's why I wanted to go - it's always kinda cool before they are scary. Terrible after but there is a certain feeling in the air in the hours leading up to it.

5/30 171.7 Still hoping for a drop before the end of the round. I did three miles yesterday. I did go a little crazy last night - Sprouts had my favorite dark chocolate orange jellies on sale and I bought some. Just 32 little calories each. I have been doing well with just having a few a night until last night. I probably had 10. OOPS. I guess I should be happier I didn't go up today It's supposed to be nice tonight. I think I'll try to get in 4 miles.

5/31 170.9 I almost wish today was the last day of the round so I could end at goal. I did walk 4 miles yesterday. I left work a little early and walked before the rain was supposed to start - but it only sprinkled. I could have stayed at work - oh well. Happy Friday ya'll.

OSW: 212.6
SW: 183.0 5/23/19
CW: 183.0 5/23/191
GW: No number - just lower than start weight
UGW: 150 by next year - slow and steady!

05/23 - 183.0 - Mini whoosh. Back to documenting my days here. Went back and read my blogs and the daily insights are really helpful. I've been back to morning protein smoothie and packing lunch. Lots of seasoned tuna packets on low carb wraps for ultimate ease and squashing excuses.
05/24 - 183.4 - Yesterday did not go as planned. Had to roll with the punches but ended up eating out at a burger joint so feeling a little salty today. Retail job is giving me a lot more steps than normal though. Got breakfast sandwich this morning because out of almond milk but chose an egg white and swiss on multigrain for 240 cals instead of higher cal options. Packed my lunch though! Final wedding dress fitting tonight and 5 lbs up since last visit so fingers crossed!!!
05/25 DNW
05/26 DNW
05/27 DNW
05/28 186.6 - No surprise there as I went off the rails this holiday weekend. I did lots of physical activity as well though, so back to the habits today and moving on! The dress fit beautifully! Must remain around at or below 183 by June 22. Feeling so tired today thanks to my terrible eating this weekend though.
05/29 188.0 - Yep, consequence of my actions this weekend still. Definitely didnt drink enough water yesterday either. I know what I need to do...it includes healthy eating habits AND healthy sleeping and self care habits. The binge definitely came in part due to exhaustion so working to balance things out a bit!
05/30 186.6 -Terrible day yesterday. Bad car diagnosis led to a very stressful day and eating takeout from the grocery store...Need to work on my coping skills.
05/31 185.8 - AND THE HITS KEEP COMING! Another bad day yesterday and today is competing for the title as well. Being more mindful today, starting water now - salad for lunch and grilled chicken on the menu for dinner. Trying my best to stay positive, because there is still LOTS to be grateful for despite the hardships. What doesn't kill us...

Round 78 (my 10th)
OSW 382
RSW 327.4


05/23 326.4 A nice start to the round.

05/24 328.0 I’m not surprised by the bounce up, it happens whenever I have a hotdog. In addition I did some weight lifting yesterday and a couple of muscles are a little stiff/sore today. Last but not least I went a bit overboard with some cookies a couple of days ago and it usually takes a day or two for things like that to show in my weight. It’s okay though as I’m fully on track again and know that I’ll see a loss again soon.

05/25 328 I’m not sure why I didn’t have a drop. I’m guessing that I’m still retaining water weight. Hopefully I’ll see a drop soon.

05/26 329.6 I’m trying to tell myself that it’s pre tom bloat weight. I’ve been on track and low sodium, I log and weigh everything, so at this point that’s the only thing that makes sense. Tom should arrive tomorrow and hopefully I’ll see some drops.

05/27 328.8 That’s a good sign and hopefully once tom starts I’ll see more bloat weight go.

05/28 329 It has to be tom weight. I can say this, but it’s harder for me to believe it. I know that I have bounced around like this before and it too passed. I guess I’ll see what tomorrow brings.

05/29 327.2 That’s better. I’m still waiting for tom to start, but I’m starting to drop some of the bloat from it. Hopefully I’ll see another drop tomorrow.

05/30 327.2 Ugh.....still waiting on tom.

05/31 327.2 Still no tom and my weight is holding here it seems. I’m at or below calories, weighing and logging everything so I just have to wait this out.

********LOOK AND SEE HOW MUCH THESE 10 DAY CHALLENGES HAVE HELPED ME********


Day/Weight/Comment
05/22 …..194.6 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

05/23 …..194.6 ….. Hard to believe after another day of travel that the scale did not move in the wrong direction this time. I’m hoping it does not show up in a few days like it sometimes does. Good luck everyone this round!

05/24 …..195.8 ….. And there it is from the travels! Yesterdays stats: 2080 Calories In / 3034 Calories Out. 123 Net Carbs. 20,198 Total Steps & 8.66 Total Miles. IF 16:8. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 37 minutes which was fabulous! I took a 44 minute walk in the neighborhood after my higher calorie/carb dinner.

05/25 …..195.8….. Holding steady but *%$#*^ I had LNS I should not even have in the house. Yesterdays Stats: 2376 Calories In / 2547 Calories Out. 114 Net Carbs. 15,123 Total Steps & 6.4 Total Miles. IF 16:8 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 44 minutes. I raked & hauled leaves for 52 minutes & I took a 22 minute walk after dinner.

05/26 …..194.7 ….. Yesterdays Stats: 1385 Calories In / 2504 Calories Out. 25 Net Carbs. 12,531 Total Steps & 5.3 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 11 minutes which felt great. I took a short 20 minute walk.
05/27 …..194.3 ….. Yesterdays stats: 1073 Calories In / 2643 Calories Out. 30 Net Carbs mostly veggies. 14,371 Total Steps & 6.08 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 2 hours & 18 minutes so I will be very tired later. That left me a lot of “awake” hours which make the hunger & cravings worse, but I powered through.
05/28 …..195.1 ….. Holiday weight. Yesterdays stats as best calculated. 2480 Calories In / 2716 Calories Out. 170 Net Carbs (ouch!) 15,021 Total Steps & 6.36 Total Miles. IF 16:8 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 10 minutes. I woke up with a stiff neck again without having changed my pillow. I did 11 minutes on the elliptical & took a short 11 minute walk mid-afternoon. Moving on toward continued successes.
05/29 …..194.6 ….. Today I had to take my DB to the emergency room (about 60 miles each way from home). He is okay but will need to see a neurologist which will be located Gosh knows where. Lunch out of town. Okay choices but not perfect. Dinner tonight is back to plan so I’m proud it has not turned into a binge. Yesterdays stats: 1827 Calories In / 2839 Calories Out. 48 Net Carbs. 14,641 Total Steps & 6.2 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 41 minutes. No planned exercise but I finished Spring Cleaning a cabin.

05/30 …..195.4 ….. All sitting yesterday during the long drive to the hospital & during the long sitting periods in the emergency room. The hospital serves several towns & counties so it is always packed. No movement, no steps & no calorie burn. All restaurant or vending foods. This trip was not planned & it showed up on the scale. Back to business today. This set-back will stop me from my goal, but I hope I can at LEAST get back to my starting point. Yesterdays sad stats: At best count 2386 Calories In / 2017 Calories Out. 137 Net Carbs. 6838 Total Steps & 2.89 Total Miles. I came home exhausted & stiff since I am not used to the amount of sitting done yesterday. Even the long trips for shopping & building supplies for my business offers some walking when I reach my desitination. Not an Emergency Room trip! I slept about 5 hours & 54 minutes last night & I woke up tired this morning. I have lots to do. Kitchen reno man will be coming today to do final sanding on some drywall. He is a local handyman that I use often but his hours are very limited. He is also supposed to put all new spark plugs & a general “tune-up” in my riding lawn mower & both of my push mowers because all of them are running bad. I will be doing some polyeurethaning to some trim boards outside (I’ve already done several coats of stain) & I will be doing a small amount of primering & painting in my livingroom (he moved a plug for me). I am going to do a small prep cook this afternoon before he arrives so I can finish out this round with some carefully planned foods.

05/31 …..195.3 …..
Last minute emergency trip to help family. This is my final weigh-in. I will be home the evening or night of June 1st and will read all the posts & post a message but no morning weigh-in. I will be able to resume the weigh-ins on Day #1 (morning of June 2nd) of Round 79. That is assuming that all goes well while out of town for the day & night. Here is yesterdays stats: 1481 Calories in / 2789 Calories Out. Net Carbs 46 mostly veggies. 15,306 Total Steps & 6.48 Total Miles. IF 18:6 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 11 minutes.


06/01 …..xxxxx ….. No morning weigh-in. Home later to post.

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.

May 23 - 176.8 - I had a fairly decent day yesterday. Managed to get a walk in and ate within calories.

May 24 - 176.4 - another decent day yesterday. Spent the day with Michaela, we planted some flowers and cleaned up the yard.

May 25 - 179.4 - I don’t believe this can be accurate. I will see tomorrow I guess.

May 26 - 179.8 - ugh this is mostly carbs and sodium I think. I haven’t eaten that much over my calorie goal. I need to go buy some fruits and veggies today.

May 27 - 179.6 - better day yesterday, it will take a few days for the carb weight to drop though.

May 28 - 177.8 - another good day yesterday. I need a lot more of these days.

May 29 - 177.6 - very busy day yesterday. Got a lot accomplished.

May 30 - 179.6 - high carb day again. I swear starting Tuesday I’m going to cut back on carbs for the month and see how I do. I’m doing it then instead of now because the Bachelorette is the weekend and I need my pay to get some groceries.

May 31 - 179.8 - ok I’m done this round until Monday. I am away this weekend with no scale celebrating my daughters bachelorette party with her! I know I’ll be up the next round, but it will be worth it.
