09/20: 222.3 Our son bought us pizza for dinner. I ate more than I should have.🍕
09/21: DNW
09/22: 228.0 We took our granddaughters to the fair yesterday. We ate corn dogs, frito chili pie, apricot fried pie and drank coke. Felt horrible and bloated after eating like that, but made wonderful memories with those precious girls! They had so much fun on the rides and playing games!
09/23: 226.3 Still trying to recover from the horrible eating over the weekend. Starting over today. I've got to get in the right mind frame because I know how to lose this weight. I've just got to make myself choose the right things and not give into temptation. Also no LNS!!
09/24: 224.5 Stayed on track with my eating yesterday. Also got in a short walk. Almost gave into LNS when hubby asked if I wanted a bowl of ice cream. It was difficult to see him eating some, but I stayed strong.

I'm in!

Female, 57 yy, 4'11''
OSW: 177.1 lbs
LTG: 110.0 lbs
STG: 120 (next milestone and 10 pounds to goal weight)

Goals for 10 day Challenge: loose 1.9 pounds (optimistic :-) but reach next milestone of 120.0!

Day/Weight/Comment

09/20 120.8 Starting off like last round with a 1.1 lb drop at the start! Whooshes like this tend to be followed by bumps up, plateaus, and then drops as weight stabilizes, so hope that it stabilizes soon! Weight day (deadlift, lunges, push-ups, inverted rows, and planks with cable rows) + 30 minute spin class, so won’t be surprised with water retention tomorrow. Feel like I wrote this 10 days ago too :-) Going for sushi/sashimi today and hopefully with pre-planning today it is IIFYM! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

09/21 120.8 No hugs needed! I am thrilled that my weight is the same as yesterday! My usual pattern with JGM10D over the last several rounds is to have a whoosh the first day, then a 1+ lb gain the next day, a plateau for several days, then small drops to end up a little bit below the first day. Holding the drop the first day is fantastic!!!! Xtrain (spin + HIIT) for cardio today; otherwise rest. Calories good so far! 10.8 lbs to goal!

09/22 120.4 Yeah!!! Holding the whoosh so far! Xtrain this morning - got new gym shoes yesterdays which felt great for the non-cycle part of class! Feel the beginning of a mild cold coming on, so going to take it easy the rest of the day. Live littleneck clams and local garlic, so having clams and linguine for dinner tonight. (cheat day for carbs) Should still be IIFYM with preplanning. May actually make STG this round!

09/23 119.8 Woohoo!!!! Made STG of 120.0. And my lowest weight in the last 13+ years. Less than 10s to goal!!! (of course expect this may bounce up tomorrow as today is strength day, but the ups will even out!) After previous diets that restricted calories or carbs, nice to be able to fit in avocado toast and linguine IIFYM and still lose weight.

09/24 120.9 Well not unexpected given the quick drops so far and that yesterday was strength training day; still down 1 lb so far for the round which is great for 5 days in! Still have another 5 days to get back to that low and STG!

09/20 200.0 (+4.4)/ 29.7% (+0.6%) well I know I didn’t make the best food choices the past few days but this is eye opening and it’s time to step it up. Can’t have more days like this. My goal for R90 has been updated to reflect this gain

09/23 198.8 (-1.2)/ 29.1% (-.6%) didn’t weigh in this weekend, I was gone on vacation. But not disappointed by the numbers today. Back on track and ready to go. Not going to let my accountability partners down.

Day/Weight/Comment

9/20: 225.6 (-1.0)/19.1 (-0.1). This is a great start, particularly given that I was likely right at about maintenance in calories last night. Food quality was good, though. IT'S THE WEEKEND... and instead of going into it hopeful (and a little blind), I'm going to think through a plan. Right now. Gym tonight after work, basketball tomorrow... I don't think I can go to the gym on Sunday, because I'll be trying to fix my car with my dad and doing a couple of things to continue to make my house liveable. Dinner tonight should be light/easy; maybe a lettuce wrap from Cook's Tortas. I'm not sure about tomorrow night (what's happening), but it will probably involve more housework stuff (and, annoyingly, cleaning everything because my parents are coming over on Sunday). Sunday my parents will be here, and my wife wants to go wine-tasting with them. I can focus on reds while I'm there, and I'll try to budget some calories for that. Dinner is almost always the problem. I need to track all day, have my "budget" before I eat, and figure out how the heck to stay within that budget. Work is feeling better; rather than feeling so overwhelmed, I have a bit of a plan, and I'm getting support from my supervisor/management team.

9/21: 223.6 (-2.0)/18.9 (-0.2). So far, so good. Stuck to my plan yesterday. Went with a lettuce wrap instead of bread. Lifted weights and did some HIIT on the elliptical. Basketball is happening this morning, then doing some painting/housework in the afternoon. I'm not sure what's happening for dinner, but I'm feeling focused.

9/22: 223.4 (-0.2)/18.9 (0.0). Basketball yesterday was better than it was a couple of weeks before. My shot was a little off, but I was able to move around better than I could two weeks ago. I finished painting another one of the bedrooms in my house as well. Dinner was slightly out of control, but I'm pretty sure I stayed well within calories (ate back maybe half of my exercise calories). Still feeling focused. My wife and I are eating at home tonight, so I'm expecting my weigh-in tomorrow to be... well... super boring

9/23: 225.0 (+1.6)/19.0 (+0.1). I got a little bit squirrelly last night with dinner (and after); it was more about quality (carb-heavy) than quantity. I'm also recognizing the need for a food scale (my old one broke a long time ago), especially when it's difficult to determine the number of servings in whatever I might be making (and that is fixed in a couple of mouse-clicks). I lifted weights in the morning and had a generally very busy day. I'm not feeling discouraged at all. From Friday morning to Monday morning I actually dropped 0.6 lbs, even with the big gain this morning. I think I have my routine at the gym as well - weights only on Friday and Sunday, weights and HIIT on Wednesdays, and basketball on Saturdays. If I'm feeling particularly good on a Sunday I'll do cardio, but basketball is pretty intense, and I'm often very sore after.

9/24: 225.8 (+0.8)/19.1 (+0.1). I'm not sure exactly what's going on, but I'm not going to freak out about it. I ate within calories last night, although dinner was sketchy (I'm definitely eating out too much). My food scale should be here tomorrow, so that should help. Ready for some TMI? The BM fairy hasn't visited in a while. I think this weigh-in is attributable to one thing: I'm probably full of $#!+. I'll just keep plugging away and see what happens.

R90 SW: 174.4
R90 GW: below 170
UGW: 120ish

09/20 172.6 assumably almost all water weight but I’ll take it! Over 16k steps yesterday and (almost) hit my 1.5L of water target.
09/21 171.4 definitely need to increase my fibre! Only managed 8k steps yesterday 😞
09/22 169.8 I have now lost over 10lbs since beginning to use MFP again! Water weight is still weight you carry around so I’m good with whooshing it now and getting down to focusing on fatloss soon. 1.8lbs away from being 12st again makes me happy, as I’m definitely using each stone as a milestone. Yesterday I walked my 10k steps, drank more water and even had a curry I’d prepared weeks ago and frozen (definitely not diet-friendly, but I’m not going to throw out food, just work the rest of my cals for the day around it).
09/23 173 super low mood yesterday led to me eating an entire pizza. HAVE to meal prep today. Gutted.
09/24 171.2 trending back down is always good. Started a new workout class, which was very fun. I have my normal pole fitness class tonight so going to be going straight from work, preparing for a late dinner!

R89 SW: 221.0 ~ EW: 213.6 (-7.4)
R90 SW: 213.0 ~ GW: 209.0

R2 Goals: add weight training 2-4 of 10 days, keep preparing most meals and stay consistent!

9/20: 213.0 - Not enough sleep, but feel a bit better. Walked a few times yesterday and will try for same today.

9/21: 212.0 – Nicely surprised after a high cal dinner and LNS yesterday! Got in plenty of movement today, though most of it was cleaning, lol. My first weekend (Fri / Sat) testing high cal/carb stacking so fingers crossed all goes well. Results tomorrow and Monday!

9/22: 213.8 - Obviously, still got some tweaking to do, lol .. Friday was nutritious and filling, but yesterday was pure tasty and empty!! (on top of little sleep and a drink both nights). But overall, quite happy w/ my progress the past 10 days ("restarted" @ 221.0 on 9/12/19). Having a great time this weekend with no regrets! Will try again w/ better choices in another 7-10 Days. Onwards and downwards!

9/23: DNW - Day 1 of 100 Days not starting well at all!! After an emotional break this morning, all I want to do is eat my feelings!! Eyeballing the Halloween candy everywhere, I've only been able to resist bingeing by sitting on my hands and keeping it liquid all day! Hoping some leftover lamb and potatoes for dinner, with MAYbe a small dessert will be enough to pacify.

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!

Round 90
Still trying to find the balance this month between a demanding schedule and a healthier lifestyle. R89 (12) – SW: 186.4 – EW: ???

Goals for this round:
1) Log carefully and maintain a calorie deficit
2) Walk or exercise 30+ minutes
3) Stay on top of assignment grading!!!

Day/Weight/Comment
09/20 – 185.8 – Little drop to start, despite the Chinese food I had last night. But here we are at the beginning of another weekend. How many calories in a poké bowl?
09/21 – 184.6 – Happy to see a drop, but I slept in this morning, so that may account for some off it. Apple festival with the grandkids this afternoon. Drinks and dinner with friends this evening. A bit over on calories but got in a 45 minute walk at the park.
09/22 – 184.6 – Holding steady. Gorgeous weather for the last day of summer! Dinner guests this evening, but logging and maintaining a deficit is easier when I can control the menu and portion sizes.
09/23 – 183.4 – Nice drop and, surprisingly, a new low. My younger son and his fiancé stopped by for a couple of days on their way home from a business trip, so we wound up doing a big family dinner and sitting around the fire pit until late last night. Restaurant lunch and take-out dinner today, so I expect a sodium bounce tomorrow. A busy day at work and I wanted to spend more time with family, so I didn’t cook, log, or walk. But I’ll be back on track tomorrow!
09/24 – 184.0 – There’s the bounce, but it’s not too bad. Exhausting day – 14 hours of teaching, meetings, and workshops - but I managed to stay under my calorie limit and log my food. No walk but I got in almost 9,000 steps. Next up: sleep!

09/23 157.6 (-0.0) 15,949 steps - 5km run/walk. The weekend was so busy I didn’t even switch on my computer so I haven’t posted since Friday 😊. It was a good weekend with healthy activities Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday which compensated for the usual extra calorie weekends! I’ve started taking my daughter on runs with me and she really enjoys it. Also we tried a parent/child introduction to badminton and we’ve decided to sign up. It was really good fun for both of us and a good way to get us moving on Saturday mornings. Today won’t be very active unfortunately as I have a team building event for the office, but at least it’ll be fun!
09/24 157.6 (0.0) 4658 steps, I’m glad I stayed at the same weight as I expected a gain today, yesterday we had a team building which was great (flight simulator) and there were lots of things to nibble on etc. I’m so tired I’m going to try not to start nibbling as that’s always what I end up doing when I’m tired. Normally I’m going for a run this evening. or rather yes I’m going running! there said it!

09/25 157.4 (-0.2) W6R2 run done, 13.383 steps. All in all, a good day all over, nothing spectacular but Did my run in the rain, walked my steps, stuck to my calories. Water is the one I have issues with, I hardly drink 1l (although I probably drink 2l of decaf coffee!). Today I’ll concentrate on getting my steps done and drinking my water!
