JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 91

“If you set your goals ridiculously high and it’s a failure, you will fail above everyone else’s success.” – James Cameron

Didn’t reach my goal for the round, but the win is that I am leaner and fitter. Never thought I would be able to stay on the elliptical for 55 minutes! Cardio a win, but still need to work on water intake.

Day/Weight/Comment

09/30 -191.9- I used to panic if I had an uptick in weight. I wanted a fast solution and I took even a small fluctuation as a failure on my part which then led to failure on my part. Now I know fluctuations are normal and I am doing well if I trend downward over time. Stick to the program and it will work!

10/01 -191.6- I went walking yesterday and it is so hot here in KY, still in the 90's. Come on fall temps!

10/02 -190.7- Keep going! You are worth it!

10/03 -190.1- My back and legs hurt after walking last night. I swear I think it is the hot temps that are to blame. Thankfully, the weather is about to turn fall-ish around here!

10/04 -189.9- Slow and steady, that's what I am aiming for! With my daily walk I have about 1500 calories to work with. I am not going hungry at all and I can even work in things like a serving of chips (not 3/4ths of a large bag!) now and then. I want this to be a healthy lifestyle change and not just fast weight loss so I am aiming for sustainability.

10/05 -190.5- Time for the weekend!

10/06 -189.7-

10/07 -189.4- .6 of a pound to goal for this round. Two more days, we got this!

10/08 -188.9- This is a welcome surprise. I did not feel well yesterday so I expected an uptick this morning. We will probably eat out tonight and that will be both nice and a challenge to stay within calories!

10/09 -188.5- Yes! Did not feel well after eating out yesterday. Neither my husband nor I slept well last night. I did manage to meet my calorie and exercise goals and I am happy with the results of this round!

Day/Weight/Comment
09/30 – 125.2 – same weight for the 3rd day in a row. I haven’t been the best this weekend, so I might see that in the next couple of days. I am at my goal of 125 but would like to lose just a couple more pounds and maintain between 120-125.
10/01 – 125.2
10/02 – 124.8
10/03 – 124.6 – I have actually been eating a little more the last few days (around 100 calories more) and it seems to have gotten the scale going down again.
10/04 – 124.2!
10/05 – 123.8
10/06 – 124.4 – I’m bad about posting my updates over the weekend, but I do still weigh every day and keep track.
10/07 – 124.8 – Still within my maintenance range. I don’t like the upwards trend, but I know that it’s because I splurged a little too much this weekend.
10/08 – 125.0 – Could still be from this past weekend or because it’s almost TOM
10/09 – 125.0 – TOM is here so I know some of the gain is definitely from that. Still down .2 for this round and I am ok with that.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/30 160.8 I'm passing a kidney stone, and the doc said to take it easy, no hiking. :-(
10/01 160.8 Still just holding. But did a big workout on the stationary bike, so hoping for a friendly scale!
10/02 158.8 Got in a short hike, I'll jump on the exercise bike later for an easy ride.
10/03 158.8 holding
10/04 158.6 Not exciting, probably just fluid, but holding with the plan!
10/05 158.6 Holding is GOOD!
10/06 157.4 Was sick last night, fever of 101.6 this morning, so don't expect this weight to last
10/07 157.8 Yep, was right, but hey, it's still down lower than starting point, so happy camper here!
10/08 159.0 So much for holding on to the loss I had while sick. smh
10/09 158.6 YAY!!! At least I made it to goal and beat it by .2 pounds! THANKS Y'ALL!!!

Round 90 SW 164.7 EW 164.7 DIF 0.0

10/1 165.9 Went to the gym and lifted weights, maybe that's the water retention? I haven't lifted in 2 weeks so maybe. I upped the weight on my legs and they are sore this morning! I have errands to run after work, but I hope it will be cool enough after that to get in a walk before dark. I am so ready to be in the 15Xs. My friend Mark that has been staying with me since July 9th is leaving today. I will have my house back and he will be on the next leg of his journey.
Spoiler

10/2 167.2 I had 4 dunker cookies last night right before bed. I didn't have time to walk after the errands. It's supposed to rain today so no walking outside. I think I'll do the treadmill. I haven't eaten enough calories to gain this weight. I'm sure it's water retention. My legs and arms are still sore from lifting.

10/3 166.9 Well that's something at least. I walked 3.25 miles last night, some in the rain. I found a new and interesting trail. I actually found it weeks ago but I've been waiting until my leg would cooperate. It was so nice, not the rain but the walk. I still feel puffy so we'll see what happens in the next few days. I feel I should be around 163 or 164 like I was last week.

10/4 166.7 I've eaten at maintenance the last couple of days. I had too many errands to walk last night. I'm in a bit of a funk over the roommate thing. I'm consumed with guilt for no legit reason. I think maintenance is ok for a week or so. I just need to stay away from sweets and I would be good. That is my comfort food. It took all my strength to not get the hot pumpkin pretzel with cream cheese dipping sauce for breakfast this morning. I don't know how many calories it had but I'm sure I can spend those on healthier choices even on maintenance.

10/5-10/7 166.6 For the last three days. I didn't exercise all weekend. I decided to put off the conversation with my friend until next weekend and instead of giving her 30 days we're going to work on a moving strategy together. She'll never be able to do it alone. This has to be realistic or it won't happen.

10/8 167.1 The slight uptick is sodium. I'm sticking to maintenance for the next week or two. I will continue to track because maintenance is still a restriction compared to my old eating habits.

10/9 167.2 Yesterday was a good day. We had Oktoberfest Goody day at work - so the sodium was high (Kraut and brats) but calories were ok. I had a lighter dinner. Somehow eating at maintenance gives me a little freedom I think I've been craving. Got in a 3.8-mile walk last night, that might be why I felt like it was a good day. Rainy today so I'll be going to the gym for weights. It doesn't give me the endorphin hit that walking does but I can see tangible results in my arms, legs, and dare I say ab region. Don't get me wrong, no six-pack but I can tell there are muscles where once I thought it was just fat.

@CamandJarvis Happy Birthday!! I hope you have a great day and treat youself a little!!!

10/04 …..191.4 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1365 Calories In / 2378 Calories Out. 55 Net carbs mainly from Chicken Shish Kabobs from dinner at my neighbors. (I used pretty good judgment). 13,483 Total Steps & 5.71 Miles. 10/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 47 minutes

10/09 …..189.2….. I am very happy to have exceeded my goal. I’m not sure why the bump up. My knees are very sore from the long hike yesterday. I’m thinking inflammation or I am still feeling the water retention/sodium effects of the Chinese Food splurge day before yesterday (or both). A Very long Travel Day so I expect I will start tomorrow on the wrong foot, but today I am happy with what I have accomplished this round.

What wonderful accomplishments in loss, maintenance & fitness I have seen this round in all my comrades! Congrats to all! Special thoughts to @kmfeig87 post-surgery, @aFit50 in congratulations for wonderful new grandbaby and to @jaccimc63 for her incredible accomplishment of quitting the cigarettes forever! Now, on to Round 92!

Hi-I’m Karen and I am back.
I was gone for a while doing the “30 Day Alcohol Experiment “. It is free online and it is time consuming because you get a video or two daily to watch and have to log in your diary, so I spent more time on that. It was very interesting because it helps you to figure out why you drink. It can also be used to figure out why you eat. It’s your conscience and subconscious not working together (cognitive dissonance)-you wake up in the morning, planning on have a great day of eating or living healthy and all of a sudden, it the end of the day and you’ve poured yourself a drink and grabbed the bag of chips and that’s dinner! Any way, it was educational learning about cravings only really lasting something like 7 minutes and dealing with things that trigger binging, and this can be applied to food, alcohol or even other problem areas in your life. I found it because I was searching in MFP for a “No Alcohol Challenge” and stumbled upon this. The end.

10/7-169-I’m getting over a cold and I still want my clothes to fit better!
10/8-169-Wow! That’s brutal! I didn’t eat hardly anything and thought I would be down 2 pounds after going to bed hungry. I’m off to the gym.
10/8-169 Not wise food choices, but I have been going to the gym.

Round 91 ( my 23rd)

OSW 382.0
RSW 291.4

09/30 290.2 I wasn’t expecting that big of a drop today.

10/01 290.6 I expected a little bounce when I had chicken soup for lunch. I’m sure that it will be gone in a day or two and will hopefully take my cold with it.

10/02 289.8 I’m still fighting my cold but I’m managing to stay on track. This is the lowest that I’ve weighed in nearly 16 years. I was about this weight when I met my husband and a little higher than this when I got pregnant with my middle child.

10/03 288.8 I had a lot of energy yesterday, but my appetite was low. I got my new exercise bike yesterday and used it right away. I only did 20 minutes because I didn’t want to over push myself. My plan is to do 30 minutes a day.

10/04 289.0 I’m feeling dehydrated this morning. I don’t think I drank enough for how active I was yesterday. I’m a little sore and still fighting the last of my cold so I think I’ll take a rest day today.

10/05 287.8 I should have taken a rest day yesterday, but I didn’t. I will be taking it easy today.

10/06 287.0 I took a rest day yesterday and my sore hip is feeling much better. I have errands to run today and I’ll see if I can get some biking in afterwards or if my hip needs another day.

10/07 287.4 No hugs needed it’s a bounce from my activity level yesterday that included a kettlebell workout. My nsv was adding in an additional set of kettlebells.

10/08 286.8 A little down, but my sodium and water weren’t great yesterday.

10/09 285.8 I replaced my morning dog walk with time on my exercise bike because it was a little too cold for me. I did take them on a nice walk once it got warmer. This is one of the reasons I got the bike, no more using the weather as an excuse for inactivity.

10/02 - 198.5! Wow, can't believe I managed to lose while traveling abroad for a week. Very pleased with this result and now I feel like I can confidently say that I am in ONEDERLAND!!!! When I started seeing the 190s on the scale before traveling, I figured it was a fluke but here I am! So proud of myself for
10/03 - 198.4! Down a little even though all I did yesterday was be a lazy jet lagged lump with a huge appetite. Getting back on the horse now that my vacation is over, heading back to work, going to the gym and sticking to my food goals! Excited to keep making progress for the rest of this challenge
10/04 - 197.2! Wahoo! So happy to be making so much progress. I'm almost at my second milestone goal of losing 20 lbs! Maybe I can even get there next challenge. Fingers crossed... In the meantime, got lots of work and exercise done and met my food goals. I bought some KetoChow so now I just have to work up the courage to actually try it. I usually hate protein powder texture and I'm worried it will be like that, but I need to try before I decide I dont like it. I figure it will make future travel easier. Just got a temp side job of leading a few camping trips this fall so this could be a good food option in lieu of eating the sandwiches campers get.
10/05 - 197.6! A little bit up but my trend is way down so I'm still happy. Feeling SO tired today, maybe jetlag is finally kicking in or maybe my depressions is just taking over again. Went to a huge tailgate today and managed to drink nothing but water and just eat the taco fillings but none of the taco shells, so I'm pretty proud of myself. No exercise today, barely managed to get myself out of bed today, so I count standing and talking for a few hours at a tailgate as a pretty good accomplishment.
10/06 - 196.6! Still exhausted... can barely get off the couch. Forced myself to do a little house work and some watercolor youtube tutorials. Didn't get much accomplished today, my head and neck are hurting a lot and I feel really rundown.
10/07 - 195.4!!! I hit the 20 lb mark! WAHOO!!! On the down side, I have had a big migraine most of the day and my throat is super sore, but I'm not so tired anymore so maybe I'm trending towards improvement. Had to cancel my personal training session this morning, head hurts way too much to exercise. But sticking to my diet and trying to continue making progress at work even though I feel like I want to just lie in bed all day. Trying to cheer myself up with my big 20 lb milestone! Almost a third of the way to my ultimate goal weight, which is so exciting. I still don't really see any difference in the mirror, but that might just be the paper towel roll theory at play. Accepting this as a win and looking forward to feeling better and making more progress
10/08 - 195.8! A little bit up but still at the 20lbs lost mark, so I'm still psyched! Feeling much better today, actually able to get work done and eat and exercise normally. Happy to be healthy again
10/09 - 195.8!! Wooo! Maintained this 20lb loss! And ending this challenge on a high note! Going to eat well, work hard and exercise today. Trying on wedding dresses after work again, hopeful that I can get some of them on, unlike last time... Looking forward to the next challenge! Hoping to keep making progress

Round 91

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).
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.

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 - focused on squats - 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 them 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)

010/03 117.8 Whoooosh! This was unexpected, but likely water. Did not have a huge amount of fiber yesterday, so expect that tomorrow weight will be back up. Good news is that if it is water should be able to hang out around this weight once it stabilizes. Busy with work so did not get to the gym this am, so took a much needed rest day. Wasn’t really sore from squats, but power in cycle class was below FTP last night so probably need some recovery time. Going to do an ab workout and then call it a day!

010/04 118.8 As expected. back up a pound but really on track so happy with where I am. BMI is still below 24, but still have some belly fat and flab on thighs, lower back to work on. Power back to where it should be today in spin class - not sure if it was from taking a break or just the other bike was not calibrated the same, but felt much better today. No time for weights today, so will try to work in strength workout over the weekend.

010/05 117.6 OK this was a surprise, but I’ll take it. If I can stay in the 117’s I will be able to make my optimistic goal for this round! No time to get to the gym today, so going to do a workout on the elliptical here at home. Grilled swordfish with mango sauce, black beans & jasmine rice, plus greens for dinner and since it is the weekend wine tonight.

010/06 117.6 holding steady. Strength training today.

010/07 118.2 up a little but on track! DOMS in glutes from deadlifts yesterday and weighed earlier than past few days (food retention). Great cardio workouts this am (step and cycle) Still have time to make STG!

010/08 118.8 Food retention issue not relieved prior to weigh in (sorry for TMI) however much better once the morning latte kicked in prior to the gym, so maybe there will ge a drop tomorrow for the end of the round! Moved on to workout 3A in “Strong” this am with trainer so feeling it right now in the quads/glutes (single armed deadlift with kettle bell and Bulgarian split squat) plus chest, shoulders, core (they are not complaining yet :-). Finished up with a 30 minute HIIT workout on the treadmill - was able to move up to a 6mph pace for 60 seconds at peak hr zone, and then recovery for up to a minute at 4.5-5 mph. Treadmills have freaked me out, but know I need to mix up my cardio a bit more. Calories good for the day.

010/09 117.6 GOAL!! (ok made goal for this round and back to lowest weight in round!) Legs still sore from workout yesterday even with foam rolling, but will head to spin class this evening hoping the cardio will help loosen them up (often does). Calories preplanned for the day and should be good. Making Chicken Banh Mi sandwiches tonight on Trader Joe Ciabatta rolls - still IIFIYM with the planning so nice carb treat!

Hope to see everyone next round!
