JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 81

Female 66, height 5’ – Goal this round – under 160.
Back again after vacation. Lots of driving, active visits but no control on food. Good thing my kids are into healthy eating. Going to a family reunion in 3 weeks and would really like to feel fit and a little weight drop for it. Right now am just tired (as always after days of driving). Plan for the next 10 days – Daily activity – stretch/warmup, ab exercises, gardening. Food – Log all (1200 – 1400 cals.) and raw veggies every day. When I feel tired and unmotivated, either rest or just do some mindless stuff like weeding or housework – don’t surf the web and snack!Round 39 (1st for me) – SW 163, -.2Day/Weight/Comment

06/21 – 162.4 My weight before vacation was 162.2, so not up much considering travel snacking and out of control LNS the last 2 days since I got back.
06/22 – 162.4 Did go a bit over in cals. with LNS but within reason. Got a nasty project out of the way – removing double-sided tape from a window frame so I can paint. It has been on there more than 20 years. The trick was using my hairdryer heat to soften it up. Funny, the more I do, the less I overeat.

06/24 – 163 So bad this weekend on chocolate. Always hard after a trip and I’m dead tired. Then I eat too much and feel worse. Finally feeling like I’ve caught up on sleep today and got some better food choices so should improve.
06/25 – 162.8 Tired and a bit sore but so happy to have put the first coat of paint on my office and love the color. Kept the cals. down and no LNS except for a ½ cup of 2% Greek yogurt at 1 a.m. when I finished painting.
06/26 – 162.6
06/27 – 162.6
06/28 – 162.8 No LNS but did say up rather late and even though I didn’t eat more supper than usual, it was a higher calorie meal. Busy day today but hoping to get in some exercise.

6/27 231ish, going to the gym with a friend later. Will hopefully earn calories to have an alright dinner.
6/28 Did really well yesterday, except for going out for dinner with friends. That put me over my goal, but only by 300cal. Doing well today, only have 300 calories for dinner, but I'll make it work!

Hi. My name is Trina. I've been back on MFP for a year now, am down 64 pounds and just 5 pounds from my revised goal weight! A year ago, this seemed like a pipe dream. I've been doing this challenge since Round 54 and it has been a blessing in helping to keep me focused and positive through the daily ups and downs of this journey to better health! Thanks to all for the wonderful support!

Day/Weight/Comment
06/22: 136 -- Yesterday was a high carb day. Friends spent the night, so we had egg casserole and coffee cake for breakfast. Took a long walk before dinner ... and then indulged in tator tots and corn bread side with flank steak. Was super hungry at dinner, but stayed just below calories and since I wasn't hungry later when we made dessert, I skipped that!
06/23: 135 -- Another high carb day. My middle son got back Friday night and is flying out again today, so had egg casserole & coffee cake for breakfast. And then we had this awesome cranberry/walnut bread for dinner and I indulged in 2 pieces, plus fresh corn on the cob and watermelon from the farmer's market. Skipped dessert and did a long session on the elliptical, so squeaked in under calories. NSV -- I've been working on pushups since March -- starting with wall pushups and moving to lower surfaces. On Friday I did two unmodified full pushups!! Over the next 8 weeks I'll continue with pushup sets 3 times a week to see how many I can build up to!
06/24: 134.5 -- Interesting, as Friday and Saturday were both high carb days with low deficits. Took a long hilly walk yesterday and ended lower carb and larger deficit. I'm curious as to what happens tomorrow!
06/25: 133.5 -- Very nice! Zumba and strength class yesterday. Did my best to burn as many calories as possible in zumba....only got it up to 400. Don't know if I am getting wimpier, or just in better shape! Ran 5 miles today and ate a light lunch. Going out to dinner with my husband and a group at work tonight, should have enough of a buffer to make wise choices and not worry too much! Might be up tomorrow, but it was nice to see this NEW low!
06/26: 134.5 Out to Italian last night. There were only two dinner options that were not pizza or pasta, went for the hanger steak with arugula salad with shaved parmesan. Had one piece of bread, heirloom tomato salad to start and split tiramisu with my husband. The bite I had of my husband's pasta was delicious, but so was the steak and I'm glad for the choice I made. I also about 8 oz of red wine. I think the wine is what caused the blip. It appeared to be the kind of red wine that gives me a headache and makes me feel nasty. Walked and did zumba today. We will see what tomorrow brings!
06/27: 136.5 Two reasons for this bump as far as I can tell. One, I felt yucky yesterday, so eating was low enough, but off and I had lots of salt including pickle juice right before bed to see if that would help. Two....today is weigh-in day for another challenge, so it figures the number would be the highest this week!
06/28: 135 Coming down from whatever yesterday's blip was! Ran a 1000 calorie deficit yesterday....so expecting improvement.

Day - Weight - Comment
06/22 - 136.8 (+0.7lbs) - Bloated. Ate Late. Ate out and somewhat unhealthy for 1 meal. TOM coming very soon. 1hr strength. 35min cardio (was probably a lot more but this is all I recorded). 16 cups water.
06/23 - 135.6 (-1.2lbs) - Food was great. 1hr strength. 1hr 45min cardio. 16 cups water.
06/24 - 134.9 (-0.7lbs) - Whew broke the upper 130s. I’m sure I’ll fluctuate back up as I go but this is a huge milestone. Ate mostly healthy but I did have a handful of chips. Rest day for the most part. I did do about 20min cardio/strength but took it easy otherwise. 45 min restorative yoga. 14 glasses water.
06/25 - 135.1 (+0.2lbs) - no real reason just typical fluctuation I guess. Ate healthy. 1hr strength. 1hr 13min cardio. 15 cups water.
06/26 - 135.3 (+0.2lbs) - sore today likely water retention. Also TOM coming. Food was good. 1hr 31min cardio. 30 min strength. 17 cups water.
06/27 - 134.7 (-0.6lbs) - TOM started. Food was good. Rest day. 30min Yin Yoga for restoration. 15 cups water.

Joining in for at least part of round 81!
Female, 57 yy, 4'11''
OSW 177.1 lbs
LTG: 110.0 lbs
STG: 139.8 lbs (just like the idea of being below 140, but not as close as 139.9 but will take that too just to get below 140 :-)
MTG: 123.4 lbs Leave Overweight category and get into Healthy BMI range
Goal for 10 day Challenge - lose 2 pounds (138.9)
Day/Weight/Comment
06/22: 140.9 Up 0.3 pounds from yesterday; but not unexpected as weight dropped 2.2 pounds from the day before (serious whoosh, so usually see a bump up until it settles over a couple of days). Had 1 hour step class this morning and really pushed it - burned 388 calories in the hour (ok that is a lot for me!) and had heart rate in peak zone for 54% of the class! Some weights and other functional training then back home. Lazy afternoon with some weeding in the garden until the ants and mosquitoes drove me in! Big dinner - grilled swordfish with olive tapenade/tomato sauce, saffron rice & black beans and fresh greens from farmers market, although within calorie budget. Still feel like I am retaining water (extra exercise?) so curious what weight will be tomorrow. I do need to figure a better way to distribute calories more through out the day, but dinner is my favorite meal of the day and so far do not have time to cook dinner foods for breakfast or have gotten leftover portions quite right.
06/23: 140.3 Yeah!!! dropped down below round 80 ending weight! Today is my official "rest day", but may still try to get in 30-45 minutes of walking or light elliptical for some cardio and probably some stretching or yoga as legs feel tight after yesterdays workout. Slept in today so probably going to have just two main meals (brunch/dinner) and snacks. Dinner tonight is grilled bigeye tuna with fresh mango salsa!
06/24: 139.7 Wow rest days rock!!! Made my short term goal to get below 140 !!! Not sure if I will make round goal of losing 2 pounds as will not be able to weigh in after Thursday but at least a great start! Did step class this morning, but could not stay for spin or weights, so went back in for spin class in evening. No weights today due to crazy schedule so will start tomorrow. Cavatappi with duck bolognese and smoked mozzarella for dinner - satisfied my love for pasta, but still within calorie limit! Hope the higher carbs do not create a bump! Apple Watch is suggesting that my resting metabolic rate is dropping (as expected due to weight loss) so either need to 1) up exercise; 2) decrease calories consumed; or 3) adjust to idea of slower weight loss going forward (so far I have been doing more of (1). Currently calories consumed are close to what I would eat at goal weight for maintenance with modest activity, so really think best options are 1 or 3. (next week it is going to have to be 3 :-) due to travel!
06/25: 140.2 Well not completely unexpected as typically see a big drop and then a bump up. Overall downward trend shows that I am still on track. I don;t expect a drop tomorrow as today was heavy leg weights (usually see a bump up after that) Exercise was good today (latin dance, weights (legs) and yoga, so expect this will even out in a day or two! Tomorrow is BodPod day. Gymaholic thinks my body fat is around 36% based on neck, waist and hip measurements (with height) so interested in what results will be! (hoping that with the weight training it is lower!!!)
06/26: 139.8 Yeah!!! Back to short term goal of being below 140!!! BodPod analysis came back 40% body fat at current weight (still have 30 pounds to lose) but the goal is to keep up the weight training with cardio so that body fat percentage is lower (predicted to be 25% at goal weight of 110, but would be 30% with just cardio! The staff person doing the test did indicate that my body fat and BMI were tracking together, so that basing weight goals on BMI would be useful for indicating healthy weight based on % fat. This also provided an estimate of resting metabolic rate of 1100 calories and average non-exercise rate of 1350; currently I am targeting 1400 calories a day so if that is accurate, all of the deficit for weight loss is coming from exercise. May repeat the BodyGem BMR test (should be more accurate) to see if BMR really has changed that much now that I am just below the midpoint of journey. Exercise planned for today: upper body weights and spin class.
06/27: 138.8 Thrilled to see my 10 day goal of losing 2 pounds today. Did not have time to use the elliptical trainer at home, so just going to have to get steps in at the airport. Walked rather than took the train during layover in Atlanta and did laps around the terminal so that I could at least get the minimum exercise calories to close all of my rings! Then 8 hour flight to UK. Challenge will be to at least maintain current weight over the next 6 days while out of the country. Last international trip in March I ended up gaining weight (too much beer and bar snacks and limited walking) so will be more careful this time! There is supposed to be university gym access through the conference so did bring some workout clothes and hope to get in more exercise than just walking. Although not an early morning person at home, might be a great way to spend time if I do have jet lag!
06/28: DNW Out of Town. Arrived in UK this morning, but between walking to immigration, to catch tube/train and on campus I managed to get in 17,000+ steps! Had some down time this afternoon and walked to the gym (about 10 minutes away) and got a 30 minute workout on a recombinant bike; really helped with combatting afternoon jet lag. All of the spin bikes at the gym are too high for me (under 5') but lots of ellipticals so will try to go there before breakfast in am. Need to remember to bring AirPods if I want to do a HIIT workout. At the end of the day did burn over 800 calories! Managed to control eating, even with going to the pub this evening - ordered large salad with grilled halloumi rather than the really greasy fish and chips and had gin and tonic with light tonic. The gym has a scale so may weigh in tomorrow just to keep as eye on weight (will be with gym clothes so could subtract a pound).

Coming back after a break from logging cals. Gained a couple of kilos, but needed the break to come back with new mindset.
Got 2.5 weeks before a holiday and want to make the most of that time.

I forgot to log one thing yesterday, but was still within cals.
Today was tough, had a meeting that was catered for (delicious sandwich), then met friends for dinner and drinks. I see this becoming a problem, being in a new city, meeting new people or having visitors and soooo many new places to discover, mainly around food.
The loss today was great, but now it's late and I won't be getting up early enough for my run, and more plans in the eve - oh what a difficult life I shouldn't be complaining...

I had late dinner with beer on top of a rich lunch yesterday. Today, I didn't run or do yoga in the morning. Today's lunch was a pot luck - nice idea, but bad for controlled eating, I didn't go crazy and estimated 1000cals for that.
After work, I wanted to go for a bike ride, but had a flat tyre, so went for a non-C25K run instead which was good.
I'm trying to get into a fasting pattern, need to try out what works with work, exercise and being social. Today I stopped eating at 6, but then had one sweet after my bike disappointment, which added 1.5hrs, but I have to be honest. Anyway, I ramble..

Worked from home, started day with yoga & freeletics. Ate ok during day, went for a bike ride before dinner, but didn't make my steps. Dinner was healthy, had a bit of a snack afterwards, but it was planned as part of my dinner cals.
The real battle came about an hour later, not to stuff my face. I drank tea and looked through cupboards, but in the end I won and didn't snack, yay me!

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!- 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.

06/22 136 18/30 accomplished. Was able to get off work early today but I was so tired I passed out when I had chores and meal preps...😥😥😥 I also just found out my day off on Monday is no longer happening. I should be there for three hours only (just to organize inventory) but who knows. I want this rounds food choices to be better. This job won't be getting any easier and if I am stationed here then I need to learn to adapt to my new environment. So far I have worked two weeks straight...I don't think I have ever worked so hard in my life, which I don't mind because I love it, it's just the meal preps that are getting to me
06/23 137 18/30 I messed up..,chocolate got to me. Starting Monday I will be meal prepping and eating better. I am ready for a restart
06/24 136.4 I messed up another day...but the good news is I got all my meal prep done for the rest of the week. I am all set to go. 18/30
06/25 137.6 a gain as expected. 19/30 accomplished
06/26136.8 I wanted to be down to 130 by the end of June but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. Although normally I would be upset by this, i know I have been working hard and I am not going to get down on myself. It will come, i will just have to continue practicing patience. It's not the end of the day but because all my meals are preplanned for me and having an active job, i know I will stick the course today. So 20/30 accomplished
06/27136 20/30 accomplished....I have been so hungry this week. Tsk tsk.
