JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 80

Snowflake1968 · June 2019

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
Round 76 - SW - 175.2 EW - 176.2 - Average weight over 10 days - 176.5
Round 77 - SW - 176.2 EW - 178.8 -Average weight over 10 days - 177
Round 78 - SW - 178.8 EW - 180.4 - Average weight over 10 days - 179.9
Round 79 - didn't participate

June 12 - 178.2 - Starting back on this round after completely missing the last 10 days. Weight is up a bit due to lack of exercise and having too many snacky type events happening. Hopefully will get it down another 3 or 4 pounds by end of June.

OSW: 178 in July of 2018
Rnd 79 EW: 148.7
Goals for next 10 days: 1) to get between 7,500 and 10,000 steps everyday (extremely hard to do sitting at a desk for 8-9 hours a day) 2) do not want anything past 148.9 next 10 days 3) finally see a new low of 145.xxx (lowest weight so far was 3 weeks ago and it was 146.5)

06/12: 147.7 down another pound from yesterday, but still a little high. TOM is still killing me and I am still bloated. Better than yesterday, but I still feel terrible. My motivation is just not where it needs to be to start this round, but I am trying to push through it and keep going. Hopefully by tomorrow I should be back to normal weight and done with the bloating, cramping, aching feeling. If I can just resist for another day or 2 not to eat fried stuff I will be doing good. That's all I have been craving the last 3 days is anything fried, lol. On track today so far with water/food and I have already done just over 3,000 steps. So hopefully I can get some more in this afternoon.

I’m 51 years old, female, 5’7 and started getting serious on MFP recently. I’m in the midst of a couch to 5K program and really enjoying it.

MFP starting weight: 186 (May 2019)
Round 79: - .6 pounds
Round 80 starting weight: 181.8
Goal weight, eventually: 150
NSV goal: Goal this round: increase endurance while running. I’d love to be in the 170s by the end of this round.

6/12…183. Had an impromptu gathering with friends at the house last night, which upended my careful tracking somewhat, but I weighed in this morning nonetheless. No gym today as I’ve run/walked several days in a row and figure I need a rest day.

FunandFitMom · June 2019

This is my 2nd round. I'm seeing a difference in my body composition, but not seeing the scale budge.
So, I am so glad for the challenge and the support I see in this thread.

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!

06/12 - 135.8 (-1.8lbs) - starting to get back down to normal. I think I was dealing with bloat from dietary changes but I have changed it back and will slowly add more fiber if needed. As for workouts I’m feeling sore. Yesterday and the day before were both really good strength workouts so I’m feeling it now. Got in 15 glasses of water. Did 35min cardio at about 75% effort. Feeling good. Hopefully I can break through 135 this round. 💪🏻 Just goes to show how the scale can be so misleading. Staying the course sometimes is all that is needed.

Hi. My name is Trina. I started this challenge round 54, was pretty consistent, and then got lost somewhere mid Round 74. The scale slowed down a bit, but now I think I am on the move again. I am now 6-8 pounds till goal weight, and hoping to get there in the next couple of months. Trying to keep focused on losing, while also looking ahead to maintenance. I've been feeling great, and feeling great exercising, and not feeling food restricted, so all of those things are good! Let's all have a wonderful 10 days of making great choices!!

Please join us! Starting on 06/12 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 80
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

ROUND 80 (Round 22 for me)
5’4 ½” 67 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
Goal: Maintain between 135 and 140 lb. and increase muscle, endurance, and jogging distance (while not damaging my knees).
I started Round 54 and Keto WOE on September 24, 2018.
Cumulative weight loss for Rounds 54-70 = 44 lb.
I started and finished the last three rounds with a high weight of 135. I’ve grown accustomed to the keto WOE and, mostly, stick to that, but I add extra carbs when I’m under 135, which is almost daily. I’m in my third week of a strength training program. I already feel stronger. The loose skin may be irreversible, and, if so, I’ll try to be content with being strong and feeling good.

Day/Weight/Comment
06/12 134.8 I’m almost finished with the first 30 days of my strength training program (it’s taking me 32 days), and my strength and endurance are both improving. Thank you, Lord, for the ability to bounce back! I wish my loose skin would bounce back, but that's too much to ask. I didn't like the looks of my legs when I did planks today--I have to cover my legs when I go out.

jlbtnc · June 2019

I am 52 y/o 5’1.5” from PA. I have a ways to go to reach my ultimate goal of 110lbs. Weight loss is harder as you get older but not impossible. It definitely is a life time change and it tends to slow down quicker, and every day is a struggle. In the end I will get this and not beat myself up over mistakes.
