JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 94

quiltingjaine wrote: »

@robynleegetsfit Your goal for the round is less than your goal for year end? In any case, this seems a bit aggressive to me - unless my math is wrong, that is almost a 3# loss per week average. A healthy loss is 1.5 - 2 pounds per week. I’m not saying it isn’t possible but it might not be the best.

@quiltingjaine It's based on the metric system (1 to 2kg a week). It also based on past records. When I eat in my calorie range I naturally lose 2kg a week without exercise for the first 8 weeks, anyway.

Currently, I don't walk much. I work out 30 minutes a day (started on Monday) and my eating habits are horrible.

My calorie goal is 1550 to 1350 somewhere there. Currently, I probably eat 2000 calories, which is horrible.

If I lose 0.5kg (1lb) a week I'll be happy. My goal of 1 to 2 kg a week (which is what my dietitian suggested) is merely motivation. A reminder to reduce sugar, drink more water and use food as sustainance. Its working. I drink more water now. 5 glasses instead of 1. And I exercised 3 times this week compared to once last week (today was a rest day) and 0 the week before that. Next week, I'll focus on cutting added sugar which will mean drinking black coffee and black tea or buying milk alternatives. And no more grilled cheese.

I appreciate your concern but this is a slow and steady journey with a focus on building lasting habits like exercise, water, no added sugar, and cutting calories. The numbers are simply numbers.

The R94 GW was a mistake. It should've been 107.4

Round 94:
Female, 57 yy, 4'11''
OSW: 177.1 lbs
LTG: 105 - 110.0 lbs or BF 23-25%
STG: 110 (next milestone)

Goals for 10 day Challenge: reach 114 - upper end of ideal weight for my height.

Day/Weight/Comment

10/30 114.8, %BF 27.5 Reached my STG of last round now! (be below 115) but better late than never! Expect wt may go back up tomorrow and I’ll bounce around here, but just might be possible to reach the upper end of the ideal weight range for my height this round. In the meantime goal is to keep working on increasing muscle mass (seems to be working according to scale) with the increase in calories and burning fat. Early morning spin class for cardio today!

10/31 116.4, BF% 27.9 OK maybe I should not predict that it will go up cuz it seems to come true -lol ! Pasta for dinner last night so expect a lot of the gain is water with the carbs/glycogen storage (and food retention) - but was refueled for step aerobics this am!!! Switched to using two risers to increase HR during class so got a high intensity workout in. Strength training with trainer afterwards - we are on to the Stage 4 workouts from Strong (Schuler & Cosgrove of NROLW) for the next month. Halloween get together with neighbors tonight (pizza) so have pre-logged and should be in my macros (higher calories on weight day help!) Hoping that the strong storms (under tornado watch) that are predicted hold off until after trick-or-treating! Even with the ups/downs after the last two weeks of higher calories, Happy Scale thinks my current loss rate is 0.47 lbs/week so looks like that is in line with my estimated TDEE and calorie targets so trend is more important than the noisy day to day measurements!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/30--206.5 Finished W3D1 of c25k yesterday. Another great fall day to go out and run. Strength coach tonight.
10/31--206.3 Tough workout with my coach yesterday, but I am definitely seeing progress. This morning I decided to try on these boots I haven't been able to wear for the past 2 years because my calves had gotten too big. Well, not only am I wearing them today, but I also have my jeans tucked into them!

@deepwoodslady - Hugs and prayers my friend....take one day at a time, stay positive..... Sending you positive vibes and hugs. I know it is hard but try not to over worry. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

& awesome job on being here over 50 rounds!! WOW!!

Thank you all peeps for you kind words & wishes, it means a lot - I love this group XX

So I am back for another round. My goals will be the same as last since I didn't make any progress in round 93. I would like to be under 144.0 for every weigh-in and have at least 60% of them be under 142.0. My husband turns 39 on the 7th and our last weigh-in is the day after. We also have to deal with Halloween, so this round may be a little tricky. Although I know I am kind of being selfish, but I really want to get out of the 140's, so I have decided not to pass out candy this year. All 5 of my kids will be out or doing other things, so I am not going to temp myself at all. I guess not having any little kids anymore makes this year a little easier. I do feel guilty about the other neighborhood kids, but I am taking this year off and not bringing bags of candy into the house.

(I only include the last 5 rounds of results)

Round 89: 147.0 - 143.7 Avg 144.99
Round 90: 143.7 - 140.9 Avg 142.68
Round 91: 140.9 - 143.6 Avg 143.62
Round 92: 143.6 - 141.5 Avg 142.01
Round 93: 141.5 - 142.3 Avg 143.21

10/30 - 140.7 Finally!!!! A new low!!! Now it's only by 2/10 of a pound, but I am taking it and running. Was on track all day yesterday and stuck to my no alcohol. Will do the same today and hope for another, hopefully bigger drop tomorrow.

10/31 - 140.7 same as yesterday. So I am ending October with an entire 2/10 of a pound loss. Not thrilled, but I have to accept it and move on. The good news is my monthly moving average is down 2.2 pounds according to my happy scale. I am pretty much losing about a pound to a pound and a half a month right now. I am at about 22.5 on my BMI chart, so in the healthy range and am ok with how my clothes fit. I think it's just vanity that I want to weigh in the 130's, lol. I don't really think anything is going to change if the scale says 140.7 or 138.7, but it will make me happy, so I will continue working on it. No alcohol again last night and stayed on track food wise. I have only drank 2 days out of the last 10 and that is huge for me, so I am going to continue trying to go that route for a couple more weeks.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/30 - 71.8kgs. I’ve set goal weight for this round to 71.7kgs and already by first day, I’m 100gram off goal. I haven’t been restricting any food or portions. If anything I probably eat too much. Safe to say I’m losing weight due to breastfeeding and perhaps due to being on the go most of the day.

Lol. Yeah.
@musicsax, {{{Hugs}}} to you. It's very upsetting to be told of someone's sudden passing, regardless of your relationship to them.

@deepwoodslady, Thinking of you. Praying that you continue to be in remission friend. ❤
