JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 91

Round 91 – Sept. 30 to Oct. 9
Female, 5’, 66 years. Goals – finish calorie log each day, only yogurt or fruit in the evening and nothing after 9 p.m. SW – 162.4, GW – 160.8, UGW – 140. (This really should be 125 or 130 but that seems like such a long ways to go and 140 would be a huge improvement.)
Saw 161.8 a couple of times last round, then self-sabotaged and ended up at 162.4. This round ends with company arriving – daughter and son-in-law and 7 kids for 3 or 4 days. So lots and cooking and prep during this round.
Day/Weight/Comment
09/30 – 162.4 – This may blip higher as yesterday finished off a chocolate bar and had generous serving of ice cream. Back on the wagon though and tracking carefully today.
10/01 – 161.8 – LNS but only a couple of graham crackers. Not a lot of exercise as had a busy day with late evening out.
10/02 – 162.4 – Another evening class – fun class, but always a temptation to cave to LNS and doing something mindless when I come home. When I think about it, evenings are really what sabotage me. My daytime eating is always good until dessert at supper or LNS does me in.

Female, 57 yy, 4'11''
OSW: 177.1 lbs
LTG: 110.0 lbs
STG: 115 (next milestone)

Goals for 10 day Challenge: lose 1.6 pounds (reach 118) (optimistic!).
Day/Weight/Comment

09/30 120.9 Up from 1.3 lbs from yesterday so not the best start - water retention from DOMS, salt (tortilla chips :-) from lunch yesterday, and BP medicine ran out over-weekend and forgot to pick up Rx Friday. Girl Power this morning and will hopefully burn off fat/water with cardio this evening at spin class!

010/01 120.1 Heading back down! Cardio day - cycle in am and then a circuit class in the evening. Ended up doing 80 push ups during the circuit class - hopefully won’t be too sore. Good recovery meal of homemade arugula pasta with smoked yellow tomato sauce, roasted garlic puree and arugula oil with oil cured black olives. Over on fat, but under total calories.

010/02 119.2 Continued down and back below end of round 90 and almost back to recent low. Will take more time as within 10 pounds of goal and a lot of these fluctuations are more likely water than fat/muscle loss. Girl Power this am (last class sad to say) and finished with our choice - I decided to focus on squats to work on form - up to 85 pounds @ 5 reps now on back squat and feel comfortable now working on my own. Improved max rep of pushups to 21 and reduced weight on machine assisted pull-up so definitely getting stronger (much better metric of progress than weight from scale!) continuing daughter’s veggie week theme so pasta again; cavatappi with smoked eggplant and red peppers with ground beyond beef and smoked mozzarella. Hopefully good recovery meal after heavy leg day (squats/cycle in evening)!

@TerriRichardson112 I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s always shocking when our friends pass. One of mine passed almost 6 years ago from complications of the flu - she was only 50. It makes you stop and think when your contemporaries are leaving the earth. Prayers.

Halfway GW: 140.4 (-17.4) <<achieved!>>
UGW: 126-128 REVISED 9/29 from 123
<<MAINTENANCE achieved!>>
SW this round: 126.4 lbs
GW this round: 126.4- 127.8 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
09/30126.4 **I'm in maintenance?!** Is this real?! Yes, I now find myself here, having revised my original Ultimate Goal Weight upward from 123 because I feel (and look, I think?) good at around 127. My original UGW was based on what I could recall from before I gained weight, though I now recall that I was approaching a bit too skinny at 5'7" and 124. I'm very small boned, but my current weight feels comfortable, so I'm going with that. What now? Where's my diploma and graduation party? Ha.

Okay, the plan is to *continue* (1) Logging and weighing food (2) Monitoring calories and experimenting with a slightly higher range IF I gain consistently (3) Eating between 12-8 p.m. What got me to maintenance should keep me in maintenance, right? I will also *begin* (4) Gentle toning exercises. C'est tout!
10/01126.4 First, I'm proud to report that I started my toning yesterday by doing a few slooow squats every time I got up to go to the bathroom. Second, I realized that the insights gained over these months of highly introspective mini-journaling here in this group should be revisited in maintenance, or I risk losing them. So starting tomorrow, I'm going to start combing through my old rounds (all saved on my phone) for insights/still-relevant epiphanies. I know it'll help me stay focused, and hopefully, will help someone else. Reading everyone's posts sure helps me, anyway!
10/02 125 A retrospective from the end of my first round: (3/23/19, Round 71) "My final weigh-in for this round, and I'm down 2.4 from my starting weight! Yesterday I exercised but didn't eat super healthy other than a salad. However, I stayed within my calories and hit my macros better than usual, so the lesson for me is the "perfect" day doesn't exist, nor does it need to in order to make progress...For the first time in my life, I think I'm going to let patience and persistence win over impatience and defeat. This is going to happen slooowly, but it's going to happen!"

Take home: If you're struggling right now, remember that slow is okay! Patience is a HUGE part of getting where you want to go.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 91 (round 23 for me ) I'm in for another round, not quite as much holiday weight lost last round as I'd like due to my own sabotage towards the end, I am always so annoyed at myself after a binge, don't know why I let food rule my life!
Onwards and upwards in a new round - Just 20 days to go before our cheeky pre-Brexit break on The Algarve, must get these extra pounds off for then ! I can if I stay strong !!

Female age 61 5' 4”

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !

Round goal – lose rest of holiday gain; be mindful of what I eat & drink and keep walking.

Day/Weight/Comment

09/ 133.8 – yippee a good drop for the start of the round, only managed 1.88 miles yesterday due to the persistent rain, but stayed on plan (difficult on Sunday with roast dinner), but only 23 calories over and all other macros in green. See if I can lose another pound by the end of the challenge.

10/01 133.8 – 8.87 miles walked, all macros in green.
10/02 133.2 – just over 6 miles walked yesterday. Wonderful day out with my lovely sisters yesterday & just 150 calories over my calories out – yay !!!
10/ 03 133.8 – 10.2miles walked yesterday and an hours yoga class;she worked us hard!! CICO in credit, all macros in green.

Goal : to run the 30 Day Shred programme everyday (it’s fun and structured).

Day/Weight/Comment
09/30 - n/a - homemade bodyweight programme
10/01 - day 1 - Oof, I forgot about the arm exercises. But did it! And it feels good to finally get back into the groove of things.
10/02 - day 2 - Woke up sore from yesterday, which I liked :-)
Ok, day two was nice, slightly easier than day one. And it seemed shorter as well.
10/03 - day 3 - yikes, only did half the session. As if my heart isn’t in it anymore... I feel like I get bored so easily these days. But I must say I had a long day as well, and did the session when my energy levels were low.
I will do my session in the morning tomorrow. No sad feelings :-)

RSW 157.6 lbs
RGW 156.6 lbs
EGW 140.0 bls

Past Rounds:
Goals
1 - Keep to 1200 cal (except run days 1400cal)
2 - Run 3x week
3 - Water 1.5l
4 – Core 30 day challenge

Date – Weight in of the morning– Summary of the previous day:

09/30 Start Weight 157.6
10/01 156.0 lbs (-1.6) 13,775 steps, 4.15km run/walk, core challenge 02/30 ok. I was not expecting such a loss, especially after having a good drop the day before! I’m really pleased as I was stuck going up and down in the 157.x for two rounds and it was starting to get me really down! Also, with my running I’ve started doing a 30-day body core challenge app (planks), to stop my abs from wobbling around when I run lol
10/02 158.0 lbs (+2.0) 6.461, core challenge 03/30 done… Ok so that was a shock, I had guessed that it would go back up a bit but that was more than a bit pfff I ate well until 6pm when we got home and only had time to eat a couple of cheese sandwiches before the math teacher showed up for my DD and I didn’t have time to make myself anything “normally” healthy. Then I had the bad idea to top if off with a piece of cake. I had thought I could squeeze in a run but that didn’t happen either. Anyway, today is another day, healthier dinner is planned and a run this evening.

10/03 – 157.4 (-0.6) 1224 cal, 15.455 step, Core 04/30 ok, 3.93km W7R1 ok. Yesterday was a good day, I went to the gym and used the treadmill which I found quite hard but I admit it has advantages and disadvantages: on the one hand, I found it boring which is the main disadvantage and also I was very hot in that stuffy gym but on the other hand I could easily increase speed incrementally and track my progress. Unfortunately I don’t have good balance therefore I was quite stressed about falling off and ending up on one of those silly treadmill failure videos! Food-wise I’ve realized I’m better when I don’t eat in the evening after a run so I just had an apple. I am seeing a big trend for my weight loss on days when I run compared to those days when I don't so I'm slowly going to try increasing exercise on the "no-run" days. This morning I did part of a Pilates video to get me going as well as the core app.

I wasn't as focused in R90 as I had hoped to be hence the minimal loss.

Start Weight 138.0lb

09/30 - 142.4lb (+4.4lb) Hosted my Dad's birthday dinner last night so good food, good company and a couple of glasses of fizz to celebrate. So a temporary blip on the scale as I know I didn't eat enough to put on 4lb but due mainly due to more carbs, late evening eating and sodium. Food all planned for today and aiming to drink plenty of water ..... All is good, feeling positive and a new month starts tomorrow too! Happy Monday

10/01 - 139.6lb (-2.8lb) Glad I don't only weigh once a week as would have been very demoralised yesterday - this is why I love daily weighing and learning to understand the effect different foods have on the scale every day. Another good food day planned and a gym PT session tonight and my water bottle is at my side

10/02 - 138.8lb (-0.8lb) Will take this quite happily. All heading in the right direction, actually been logging my food properly, staying in allowance and drinking my water and amazingly the scale goes down ..... Who would have thought it eh ?

10/03 - 138.3lb (-0.5lb) Still heading in the right direction so all is good. Decent food day planned and gym tonight so all good and feeling positive

I'm in. messed around the last round and bounced up and down the same few pounds. Aim this round is to get into the 139's.

30th Sept: 142.5. Had parents round for dinner yesterday. There was apple tart and ice cream. And cider Back to routine today.
1st Oct: 139.75. I don't deserve this low number today. Yesterday was AWFUL. 3 Krispy Kreme donuts. Crisps. Chocolate. Digestives with real butter. Apple tart. Trifle. No exercise. Just hit my steps that's about it. BUT this low weight has given me a pep up and I'm determined for today. Piloxing class tonight. Really hope I can keep the weight in the 130's.
2nd Oct: 139.25. Absolutely estatic with this. Stayed within calories, did 18k steps and a piloxing class. This is the lowest I've been in 5 years. I'd love to get more comfortable in the 130'3 but TOM is this weekend so lets see.
3rd: Oct: 138.5. WOW! Absolutely thrilled. Yesterday was a good day and went for a walk with my mam and dogs before it got dark. Its getting dark early here now - about 7:15pm and as I live in the country, my evening walks are numbered. I can drive to the nearest town for a walk but its an hour round trip. Piloxing class tonight although we are expecting storm Lorenzo to hit so it could be cancelled.
