Just Give Me 10 Days ~ Round 101

Stephie, 49, 167 cm, Brussels:

OSW 172.0 lbs
RSW 154.8 lbs
RGW 153.0 lbs
EGW 145.0 lbs

Back on track for this round, it was nice being more relaxed (food wise) during the holiday season, I think I was loosing motivation and needed a break. Being able to treat myself and stay around the same weight has been encouraging and I feel motivated to loose some pounds again.

Goals
1 - Track my calories daily
2 - Run (or gym) 2x week - yoga 1x week
3 - Water 1.5l
4 - 10.000 steps

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

01/08 153.6 (-1.2) 11.136 steps.
01/09 153.6 (-0.0) 9636 steps. Not the best choices for dinner last night and I was over calories but no gain so that'll do

I should post my daily calories for accountability, just like my daily weight

I need to get some veggies in, I haven't been shopping in nearly a week and my fridge is about empty, it'll help make some better choices! Today is another easy day, I'm hoping the weather will improve enough to be able to go for a walk during my lunch break.
01/10 154.6 (+1.0),1228 cal, 10.410 steps. TOM so no surprise there and I ate a late dinner which contributed to that gain (normally I don't eat after 6pm). I expect it to drop at the end of the TOM. Yesterday was a good day in the end, I walked home in the evening to get some steps in. Migraines are back so they've upped the medication dosage, but as it's all stress related so I'm not sure that's the best way to treat it. I've booked a week in Tunisia for Easter where I plan to do nothing but read and chill

01/11 154.6 (-0.0)
01/12 153.0 (-1.6) good drop, TOM over so I expected it

01/13 152.2 (-0.8) 1216 cal, 9500 steps + gym. My lowest weight so far! Yesterday was a god day, healthy food and 1h at the gym doing cardio and elliptical. I found some old jeans and surprisingly not only did they fit but they're even a little big so that's a win I'm very happy with. Today I've planned an easy day, I might walk home from work this evening if the weather stays reasonable.
01/14 152.2 (-0.0) 1198 cal, 8642 steps. Stayed on track yesterday, although I didn't get all my steps in. I'm happy to see this number two days in a row, I'm hoping it'll be my go to weight after staying in the 154.x for so long. With my daughter away and no junk food (actually hardly any food) at home it's so much easier to stay on track

I'm also taking the time to do a big clean at home, so I've not been to the gym as much as I planned.
01/15 150.8 (-1.4) 1266 cal, 7412 steps. Big drop there but I don't expect it to stay there. Yesterday I skipped dinner as I made the typical mistake of eating a snack mid-afternoon without checking the calories before, I had no idea candied ginger would be 600 cal

Although with that woosh maybe I should do it more often

Also I think I'm coming down with something, a head cold or such, I woke up feeling quite unwell
01/16 150.8 (-0.0) 1182 cal, 7.773 steps. I'm pleased I've stayed at this weight, I went out to dinner yesterday but told my friends I wasn't feeling well so just had tea. I'll admit that it was only partially true, I didn't fancy eating a late dinner when I've been doing so well this round, so I had had something healthy before going out.

01/17 150.8 (-0.0). 1188 Cal, 7070 steps. I have to admit I'm really pleased by this end of round results, it's the biggest drop I've had in fact since starting the rounds. Also I normally weight in KG and it's under 70kg for me which I've always had a problem getting under and I realised the other day that I was at 68.4kg, something I haven't seen in about 10 years. It's certainly a good start to 2020

OSW 382.0
RSW 266.6

01/08 266.8 I’ll admit I let the scale get me a little down this morning. However, as I was putting together the document that I use for this challenge I realized that I’m doing great. I’m only up about a pound and half from my pre break round low. I was certain that my eating habits over the holidays had gained me an honest pound or two, so where I am now makes perfect sense. I’ve only been fully back on track for a week and I don’t know what I expected. Thank you GrandmaJackie for this challenge it helped me this morning.

01/09 266.6 I was able to add resistance on my bike the other day plus a new workout and I’m still feeling it a bit. I was a little less active yesterday because my legs felt stiff. I’m hopeful of at least getting a bit more walking in today.

01/10 267.4 I went out to dinner with the hubby, it was in calorie but very sodium filled.

01/11 267.6

01/12 266.0 Yay a drop! I thought for sure I’d bounce again; I went a smidge over calories yesterday and didn’t move much. However, I did set my calories back to being sedentary for the time being so maybe that helped some. I knew that I would be out and about less this weekend because of the weather and I have trouble getting in the same step count inside as I do when I can walk outside.

01/13 267.2 One word, pizza.

01/14 265.6 Yay. I was worried I’d see another bounce because I had an early weigh in. I’m trying a new schedule in hopes of getting more than five hours of broken sleep a night.

01/15 265.6 I’m happy with this because I’m trying to adjust to the new schedule. I slept better, but my eating was a little off. I’m sure I’ll adapt soon, it’s just a matter of figuring out when I eat to avoid being overly hungry at any given point in the day.

01/16 264.6 Yay! I was hungry half the day yesterday because I still haven’t figured out the timing of eating with the earlier night. I think I have everything pinned down now and I’m testing it out today. On the plus though the new schedule does seem to be helping my sleep since I’m now getting up at 3am so my husband isn’t waking me up when he gets ready to go to work. Also, my house is never cleaner, who knew that it takes half the time to clean when kids, dogs, and mother in law aren’t getting in the way.

01/17 266.0 Yesterday’s plan did not work out, I ended the day high in carbs and sodium, barely in calories, and eating dinner late. It’s okay though I know this is all water that will probably be gone in a day or two.

SW: 147 EW: 147

Day/Weight/Comment
01/08 - 146.5 - Good start to the round. The boss is taking us to lunch at an Italian restaurant today, so I'll check the menu before we go to see the best options.
01/09 - 146.5 - I'm glad to see the sodium didn't bump me up today. I have to have an ingrown toenail removed and the nailbed sealed today, so that will probably limit the amount of steps I have over the next couple days. I'm planning to use our old exercise bike and rowing machine more than I usually do to make up for the lack of movement.
01/10 - 147 - This bump up could be due to a number of things. I hate going into the weekend at a higher weight, but this should just make me pay more attention to what I'm eating. Happy Friday!
01/11 - 147
01/12 - 146.5
01/13 - 146.5 - I had a crazy weekend. We had a bad windstorm Saturday night that resulted in a lot of damage to our 100 foot pine trees lining our back yard. We spent yesterday cleaning up the branches, patching part of the fence, and contracting with a landscaper to take out a damaged tree before it falls over. The good news is that I did not stress eat and I did get in a lot of exercise!
01/14 - 146.5 - My toe was bothering me yesterday due to the activity on Sunday, so I hopped on our exercise bike and pedaled for about a half hour last night.
01/15 - 147 - There is no reason for the bump, other than I had a lean pocket for lunch yesterday. I was within calories so I'll just be drinking extra water today to take care of the extra sodium and carbs. I also have a healthier lunch packed today.
01/16 - 147.5 - I've been weighing myself daily for almost 2 years now. I am very used to the unexplained ups and downs. I did NOT see this coming, in fact I'd hoped I'd see 146. All I can think is that my eyeball measurements are skewed when I'm preparing my dinner. Time to bring my food scale back out.
01/17 - 147 - Right back where I started this round. I did pull out the scale and measuring spoons last night and I will continue to do so until I'm back in the middle of my maintenance weight. Hopefully, next round I will see a loss.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/8: 222.6 not sure if I've set my 10-day goal a little too aggressive, but we'll see. Holiday weight is now gone so going for even more loss!
1/9: 222.8
1/10: DNW
1/11: 223.7 rough days Thursday and Friday. I went off the rail for some reason. Still not sure why. Back on track now.
1/12: 222.2 feeling back on track and more in control of my emotions. Dang, this is tough stuff.

1/13: 221.8 We had lunch at Santa Fe after church yesterday. It is possible to eat semi-healthy at restaurants but it’s so hard to resist when everyone else is eating whatever they want. I chose a grilled chicken breast, steamed broccoli, and a side salad with dressing on the side (only dipping salad into the dressing). I did have a dinner roll with butter but also made sure to log it and ate light in the evening.
1/14: 221.9
1/15: 221.9 – lots of exercise yesterday with walking the dogs two times
1/16: 221.3 – lots of exercise yesterday as well, walking dogs, biking, helping a friend move. My back was killing me last night!
1/17: 221.4 – spontaneous restaurant food yesterday after I got my hair done, I should have consumed more water. I’m changing my overall weight loss goal to 175. Once I get there it may change again. We’ll see. I'm happy with the loss this round of 2.3; and the loss of 7.4 for the two rounds. I didn't make my 10-day goal so I will carry that on for the next round. This challenge really helps keep me focused on staying on my plan.

Have a great day!

01/08-172.4 not a bad start!
01/09-173.2 first uptick is always kind of a bummer
01/10-173.4 well I was having a major case of the snackies yesterday so I'm not suprised didn't go too crazy with calories but maybe ate a bit more than my BMR, Today will be better.
01/11-175.6pizza......and wine 😭
01/12-175.7 this is not accurate! I forgot to weigh in today until after I ate so I think im probably in an ok place! I randomly tried intermittent fasting today since I had kind of a crazy morning and i think i like it! This is coming from a big big breakfast supporter and a person who loves cream in my coffee. Might just give it a go tomorrow too!
01/13-173.4doing another day of IF
01/14-174 not in love with this number but im going to see what happenes ate reasonably didnt work out yet this week, still trying IF.
01/15-173.4 🤷
01/16-173.2 Kind of annoyed.... Went over calories one day 5 days ago.... Hoping for a big drop soon!
01/17-172.8 not much of a loss but a loss none the less I guess I'll take it.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/08. 177.4
I've weighed in at what's typically my heaviest time of day. While the number distresses me, this change will provide a built in cushion of a few pounds when I'm back at my normal weight.
01/09. 177.2
No weight loss goal for the round. My focus is to avoid eating out and having processed foods at home. When I stick with this and get my exercise in the scale will eventually cooperate. As usual it will happen painfully slow but fat loss will happen.
01/10. 176.4
I ate until it hurt yesterday but my calories and macros landed where they should. Unprepared and living without a plan never works for me. Today I'll be ready.
01/11. 175.6
I did well yesterday with the exception of a very late dinner. This is no big deal since I'm following a 16/8 Intermittent fasting program for three days filled by one non fasting day. Dinner crossed into my non fasting day leaving my program in tact.
01/12. 173.6
An early weigh in has me a bit lighter than reality but I'm more focused on size than pounds. Weight is an objective measure for posting but a perfectly fitting wardrobe is my goal.
01/13. 174.2
I'm expecting a hellish start to my week so beforehand I want to get my weigh in done. Lately I've let everything get in the way of my personal needs but not this time. Today's 0.6 gain is as artificial as yesterday's 2.0 loss because of the varying times of day. (However, I still feel hurt whenever the scale goes up.)I'm outside of my time restricted eating zone this morning but I'll make it up on the other end. So far it's been a good week. My appetite is under control and my macros are on point.
01/14. 173.4
Yesterday I screwed up in such a way that to provide an accurate description in the words I would normally use would be far too rude for this forum. While both fast and keto are done for, calorie average is ok. Today has been better but it's early yet. My danger zone will not begin for hours. Lately I've not felt much inner strength but I'm going to fake it. Doing right when I would rather do wrong will plague me this evening. Nonetheless I must work at it. The struggle continues and I know I'll succeed.
Thanks so much MFP🤩Friends for the support and feed back. While I haven't had time to read posts I've seen the notices. I'll borrow from your strength today.
01/15. 174.6
The past day although better than the day before was poor. I caved easily without good reason because I've conveniently "forgotten" that I am on a diet for life. This is not a lifestyle choice it is a necessity. I'm determined to regaining my vigilance for doing what works. A major attitude adjustment is in progress.

01/16. 174.6
Calories fine. Macros shameful. My head is still not in the game but I'm working on my obstacles. I've been my own worst enemy after having felt so positive about getting my diet for life back on track. I'm working on the things that are derailing my progress. I'll soon be back to fasting and full on keto. I need this too badly to screw up. Long term health and success means everything to me.

01/17. 177.2
I've grown tired of listening to myself b!tch&moan so I've made a few changes this morning. It means an earlier weigh in than I prefer; but, if it deters more ridiculous weeks like this one it is well worth it. Carb count is still out of control but thankfully my calorie average is perfection.

I've haven't shared my snooze worthy story but here's my too long condensed version.
As a very active fat kid I learned what works for me in my early teens. Low carb & low fat dropped the pounds and weighing daily kept them away. As an adult I noted my eating went against so called "nutritional science" and I tried to eat healthy according to the FDA. Then I listened to women's body image gurus that said daily weight was bad for self esteem. The result was fat, to obese, to morbidly obese. With the advent of vanity sizeing its easy to ignore reality. Especially when frequent complements on your stylish fashion sense confirm your self image and you don't feel fat.
Fortunately an excellent doctor and rouex-en-y gastric bypass surgery got me back on track. Despite what my surgeon called my "metabolic challenges", I lost the fat painfully slow. I returned to doing what's right for me as adjusted for changes to my metabolism, and for more accurate knowledge of the mechanism of obesity. I've kept most of the fat off for 11 years. However, for the last two my clothes have been tight and I've been in a yo yo state. Refusing to buy larger clothes has been my saving grace.
Like before, I dropped habits that worked for me personally. Many don't seem to make sense like getting up three hours earlier than necessary. I don't know why but it makes a difference all day.
Rather than ask why I'm just going to do what works. The only answer I need today is it works. The "it" may seem irrelevant but figuring out the why and how of things is impeding my progress. I'm finding my way back to common sense.

R101

56 year old, female, 6' ft
Heaviest W: 400
Current W:. 283.8
Challenge GW:. ( would like to lose 2 or 3 lbs this round)

Day/Weight/Comment:
1/08: 283.8
1/09: 280.6 (this loss is mostly water, been retaining it)

1/10: 280.8 (+.2 oz) ( increase) did some extra walking yesterday. Still having problems with retaining water. Which I'm a little worried might make me show an increase in weight. Which is what happens sometimes, but the water will go away and than show the true weight loss. Might not happen this round. My legs are really swollen.

1/11: 278.6 (-2.2 ) I'm very happy that the water I've been retaining is finally starting to come off.

1/12: 282.8 (+4.2) Yes, I've gained. Doctor put me on a medication and it does cause you to retain water. Untill my body gets used to it and then I'll start losing all the water and keep it off. Wish it would happen sooner than later. 😩
.
1/13: 281.4 (-1.4 lb) loss from last week. Hopefully the water is finally coming off and will continue to and stay off. My goal for this round was 2 to 3 lbs loss. I've lost (-2.4 lbs) from start weight.(mostly water weight) Hoping to lose 1 or 2 lbs of real weight, once water is finished coming off. Hopefully before R101 is over in 4 days.

1/14: 281.4 (-0.0) No oh well. 😩 I'll Keep at it and stay positive. 😃

1/15: 281.6 (+0.2) Not bothered by a 0.2 oz gain. Still have 2 days to lose some weight. Either way it's nice for any weight-loss. Whether it be water or real lbs lost. Count down to end of R101. Wish everyone the best on the final stretch of this round. 😊💕

1/16: DNW~ I fell down really hard and hurt my knees and legs. I'm very sore and bruised and I won't be doing much today. I'll try to weigh in tomorrow since it's the last one this round.

1/17: 280 (-1.6 ) . I've lost a total of (3.8 lbs) this round. NSV: lost inches around the waist and hips and my clothes are getting bigger.

Thank you @GrandmaJackie I’m so ready for round 2 (101)

12/27 - 186.0 - Joined MFP - heaviest weight ever!
01/07 - 178.4 - End Round 100 (-7.6 lbs) (included initial 2 days on MFP - 12 days total)

Round 101 - Starting Weight 178.4
01/08 - 178.7
01/09 - 178.7
01/10 - 177.9
01/11 - 177.7
01/12 - 177.8
01/13 - 177.5
01/14 - 176.8
01/15 - 176.6
01/16 - 176.6
01/17 - 176.5 Rowed 30 mins. 1 hour of shoveling snow. 1.9 pounds lost in Round 101
Goal was 174.0 which was too aggressive for me - will be more realistic in Round 102

Round 101

01/08 - 178.7 I'm very happy the small increase still kept me solidly in the 170's and didn't bounce back to 180's! Increased my calories yesterday intentionally to 1437. Rowed 30 mins. Did some reps with free weights. Not enough water. Excited for a day of healthy eating and lots of water!

01/09 - 178.7 My body has decided it wants to continue to have its own little private party with this weight for a while longer.

I wanted to say how inspiring y'all are. I was looking at some of your posts this morning and the amount of weight you have lost and how positive you have been throughout the ups and downs, really amazing! I'm so glad I found this group.

01/10 - 177.9 Yay! I hope that's it for 178 - we shall see. IF 18 hrs, 1143 calories and rowed 30 mins. Yesterday was 14 days of sticking to it, which for me is amazing. I'm usually off it by the 5th day. I've had no sugar or processed food for these 14 days which has helped my cravings tremendously. One other thing I stopped quite a while ago that helped with cravings was diet coke. That had to be one of the best things I've done for my health. It took me having surgery to scare me off the stuff.

01/11 - 177.7 IF 18 hrs. I finally had 64oz water and lots of vegies. I'm trying to work on both of these. I've been making lots of casseroles with chicken or ground beef I get from the local farmer and I throw tons of vegies into it, add an ounce of cheese and use chicken broth. I add a few potatoes to smash up to thicken it, then bake it. It's really good and lasts for days.

01/12 - 177.8 IF 17.5 hrs, 30 min row, free weights, 64oz+ water, lots of vegies. Goal of 174 might have been a little optimistic

We soon shall see. Either way, I'm doing all the right things, and going in the right direction.

01/13 - 177.5 IF 18.5 hrs, 64+oz water and lots of vegies (3rd day of both of these - creating a habit? I hope so), took a day off from any exercise.

01/14 - 176.8 IF 18 hrs, rowed 30 mins. Calories 1114. I still have cravings but like I've said before, they have subsided so much from IF and not having sugar or processed food. It feels so good to be control of my eating after being out of control for soooo long. I can't believe how much better I feel after 19 days. I can't imagine how I'm going to feel after 6 months. I wrote a bunch of weight loss motivational sayings down from Pinterest when I started and read thru them periodically. This one is standing out today: If I quit now I'll soon be where I started, and when I started I so desperately wanted to be where I am now. I am so happy to be where I am now 19 days in and feeling like I can do this thing!

01/15 - 176.6 IF 19 Hrs, free weights. I saw someone else write about not being able to handle sugar, and I'm sure many of us are like this, but I can not have one bite of sugar or I'm done. If I can't have the entire box of cookies, I don't want even one, because my cravings will be so horrible. So, yesterday, I wanted something sweet and had frozen blue berries and raspberries and it did the trick - Yay!.

01/16 - 176.6 IF 19 hrs, walked, weights, lots of water, vegies and fruit. I don't know why I thought just because I lost water weight in the beginning that I would lose that much the next 10 days. I set my goal for 4.4 pounds - silly me

. I will be a lot more realistic the next 10 days. As of today, I've almost lost 2 pounds for this 10 days, which I'm so happy I've stuck with it (thanks to this group)! I haven't made it 3 weeks in years!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/08: 205.6 Yes! Down a full pound already! I had a great day, I am proud to admit out loud! Not only because I stayed under my calorie deficit, but because I actually had to eat more to make sure I came close to hitting the needed calories (good calorie choices, too). I am eager to continue good habits today.
01/09: 204.0 Increased my water intake during my period and watched my sodium intake; two problems I have struggled with in my weight loss efforts. I was always afraid I’d drank too much water, but it looks like I have been dehydrated during my period, as my doctor suggested.
01/10: 204.0 Holding steady.
01/11: 203.8 Not too happy with the way I snacked between meals yesterday.
01/12: 204.0 It snowed, so I neglected my walking routine. Looks like I will just have to brave the cold!
01/13: 202.8 Resumed my walking routine and finally cut back on the sugar.
01/14: 203.8 Ate out as an experiment to see what would happen, after a week of not eating out. Now I know!
01/15: 202.4 Glad to see that passed quickly! It has been nice to be able to track what I eat. I used to believe calorie counting would be a hassle, but it has made me more mindful of my eating choices.
01/16: 203.4 Disappointed with the scale this morning, but I have learned from reading others’ posts that this sort of change is not unusual. Plus, I am starting to have more energy from my new walking routine, so that is positive! Is a new ten day challenge posted every ten days, or this a special type of post? It has been great to have the accountability of posting everyday!
01/17: 203.0 Yeah! That is a good way to end my first round! I have lost 3.6 lbs this round, which keeps me on track for my weight loss goal.

Round 101, 18th Round for Me
Starting Weight: 285.0 lbs
Goal Weight: 283.0 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment

01/08: 284.6 lbs (-0.4) … down a little. Staying within budget (or very close, and still within budget when considering exercise) for the past several days. Hopefully I’ll see a bigger drop in the near future. I was too tired to go to the gym this morning before work, but I went yesterday so today would have just been a “bonus” day.

01/09: 286.8 lbs (+2.2) … late dinner the night before and was a bit more snacky than I should have been in the evening. Got in a strength training session after work. I had thought to do some cardio afterward, but my legs were too tired (right calf muscle was spasming when I tried running).

01/10: 284.9 lbs (-1.9) … partial recovery from yesterday’s uptick. Was exhausted this morning and skipped a planned trip to the gym this morning to run. Hopefully I can find the motivation to do it this evening instead (nope, didn’t happen).

01/11: 285.1 lbs (+0.2) … up a tiny bit, but that’s fine. I’ve had a good day today so far, getting in both a strength session and a cardio session at the gym. With only 750 calories in at 3pm and feeling full still, this should be a lighter day calorie-wise.

01/12: 285.9 lbs (+0.8)

01/13: DNW. Got in a strength training session at the gym.

01/14: 286.9 lbs (+1.0) … ate fairly light yesterday, so hopefully I’ll see a drop again tomorrow. I was sore as heck yesterday from the gym on Saturday so maybe it’s water retention. Feeling much better today thankfully.

01/15: 287.2 lbs (+0.3) … sigh. Too snacky / hungry again yesterday. I’m likely up because I ate right before bed (which I need to stop), but I still ate around or under maintenance.

01/16: 284.7 lbs (-2.5) … sigh. This time, it’s a sigh of relief, ha.

01/17: 283.2 lbs (-1.5) … I’m very happy this morning. I’ve had my eating fully in control for the past two days and I’m seeing results. Nearly made my round goal even after struggling for most of the round. Very close to my previous low weight (all the way back in November) of 282.7 lbs. Hoping to surpass it next round!

Back to life! Back to reality!
Last year

My goal was to get down below 160, to allow me to enjoy the indulgences of holidays and celebrations.
This year, I exceeded that and have been below 150 for most of the last 2 months.
Last year, I put on 10 lbs over the last 2 months of the year.
This year, I have consistently lost weight since the end of July. I have put on about 4lbs over the Christmas break, but am still below my original 2019 goal.
That's a WIN in my book!

I need this more than ever now that I am in maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

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!

Keith
Male, 59, 5'10"
Starting Weight: 402.8
Current weight: 388.2
Ultimate Goal: 185 lbs., but realistically 10-12% bodyfat.
10-day Goal: 384.5

R100 SW 388.5 EW 388.2 (went the wrong way for several days, but found some keys and fixed it.)

Day/Weight/Comment
01/07 - 388.2 - Got an email from FitBit congratulating me on 15 lb. weight loss. Too cold and windy to walk this morning, so I'll get to the gym this afternoon for a walk inside. If I track my steps w/ Fitbit and calories w/ MFP, I seem to do better.
01/08 - 388.1 - Had to take a late evening walk last night. Cold and windy is no fun. But this morning, my knee isn't tender. So, medium length walks (1.5 - 2 miles) in the morning and evening seem to be the way to go. After last night's walk, I wasn't too hungry, but I was in a 1K+ caloric deficit for the day. Prolly ate too much, but as long as I keep going down, I'm happy. Over 9300 steps today.
01/09 - 387.9 - Skipping the early morning walk since we'll be doing so much running around. I will do DDPYoga and take an evening walk to complete the physical work today. Weight down .2 lbs. I'll be very happy with that every day.
01/10 -387.9 - Skipping the early morning walk since we'll be doing so much running around. I will do DDPYoga and take an evening walk to complete the physical work today. Weight down .2 lbs. I'll be very happy with that every day.
01/11 - 388.6 - The *running around* might have met my step requirement, but doesn't seem to have helped with weight loss. I think I need to stick to actual walking. And just meeting my StepBet challenge of 7200 steps isn't enough. I'm going to try to increase to 9k steps, knees willing. I'm also thinking of walking/hiking poles to take some stress off my knees while walking. We'll see.
01/12 - 387.4 - Right direction, just slower than I would like. Almost 12K steps yesterday.
01/13 - 386.4 - There we go. MFP and walking seem to be the trick. Now I'll add weights and yoga.
01/14 - 387.9 - Didn't do my steps yesterday. It's taking a bit for my body to adjust to moving. Just achy and my knee was a bit too sore.
01/15 - missed a day, not sure how...
01/16 -386.9 - Mild meniscus tear has me off my feet. I hate being immobile. But I should be good by Sunday if I walk on a flat track. Proverbial, two steps forward and one back.
01/17 - 388.0 - Walking with a cane and getting almost no workout. But better to rest and take a few off than push it and doing more long-term damage to the knee. I may use the gym since I don't feel the pain when using certain machines.

@merph518 What a GREAT way to start Round 102!! I know how hard it is when you've gotten off track a little and how hard it is to get 'it' back, and 2 days in control means so much! Wishing great results for us all in Round 102!!

1/09: 148.8 - Had my Body Fat % measured at the gym via a DXA scan. I now have some data to work with to get stronger and lose the fat. And I need to eat more protein.

1/10: 148.8 ( same ) Never understand how my scale measures the same weight. Don't know if I trust it tbh. Had a good run. But still enjoying the wine at night. That has to stop - empty calories

1/11: 149.8 (+1 lb ) Weighed after my protein drink and coffee so who knows. Heading to the gym for some weights and cardio.

1/12: 149.6 (-.2) Pre-run. Ran 6 miles today - felt ok. Ate a big breakfast so need to be watchful the rest of the day and get some veggies in me and lots of water. Hoping for a great week ahead of motivation

1/13: 149.8 (+.2) One word……Pancake! Going to focus on water and eating some extra veggies. I am sore today so the walk helped. Also need to get back into abstaining mode for a while re alcohol. Just a derailing habit for me.

1/14: 149.8 – (same) I think its weird that I can weigh in the same day after day. What are the chances? Keep thinking that my scale is not right but then I added an 8 pound dumbbell and low and behold, my scale said 157.8 so it appears to be accurate. I will just go with it. Numbers are funny that way. Another day another chance to move and feed my body in a healthy way.

1/15: 147.6 (-2.2) Ate pretty well yesterday and left quite a bit in the bank. Drank lots of water. Met with trainer to go over strength circuit to kick some of my own butt. Dunno tbh. Just gotta keep on keepin on…..logging, moving, eating well, no alcohol. My 15 year old pup is killing my sleep vibes. She is slowly losing it...vision, hearing, acting really strange and last night, was panting and anxious all night long. Pain maybe? doggy dementia? Aging sucks whether your human or dog.

1/16:148.2 (+.4) Had an extra round of snacks yesterday at Mah Jongg….so not surprised. But said no the offered glass of wine so that’s a win. Had a good run albeit slow – it was hot and humid! Today’s challenge-staying up until 12:30 am to pick up darling daughter from the airport. That will set me back but hitting the gym later today for second day of strength circuit.

1/17: 148.2 (0) (_.7lbs for this round.) Not unhappy as I started late and had Vacation Drop for the first 4 days. Slowly returning to normalcy. Looking forward to a full round 102 and a regular workout routine. Really working on macros and understanding how hitting protein goals meshes with overall calorie goals. Still learning. Happy Friyay to all yall! 😎

Day/Weight/Comment
01/08 163.0 This is the lowest I have been in over 5 years. Up until I hit my 40's I could eat anything I wanted, looking forward to weighing what I did when I was younger.

01/09 164.0 lbs. New it was to good to be true. LOL, Met all my goals so expect this to go back down.

01/10 164.4 lbs I usually allow myself 1200 to 1500 calorie window but have been noticing that I am not loosing if I go over 1200. I might have to reset my calorie goals. I have been walking 2 to 3 miles each day in the house, below zero and crazy wind outside and doing a 20 to 30 minute workout. Someone just introduced me to Fiton workouts and love all the choices. No worries I will get this figured out. I want back in the 163"s.

01/11 163.6 lbs under 1200 in calories, walked 2 miles in the house, FitOn workout plus 2020 challenge.

01/12 164.6 We went out with friends to watch the Bison and Viking game and I was way over calories but had a great time.

01/13 165 lbs . Bummer, but I had cabin fever bad. The weather here is not cooperating, icy snow, so no sking or walking and below zero wind chills in the -30's makes it impossible to do anything outside. No gym near and I get bored and snack. Oh well this is a new week.

01/14 164.4 lbs Another week of below 40 windchills is ahead so walked 2 miles, did a cardio workout, and booty workout all in the house. Under 1000 calories. At least I lost weight and not my mind. LOL

01/15 164.0 lbs. I worked so hard and then son wanted me to make cupcakes, stayed under 1200 calories though and so happy I didn't gain.

01/16 163.8 lbs

01/17 163.6 lbs.

Overall loss this round -.4lbs.

10 Day Challenge Round 101
Starting Weight: 203
Current Weight: 184
Current Goal: BMI<30 or 164
10-day Goal: 180

Date/Weight/Comment
1/8 182 / walked 30 min, incline treadmill 30 min, leg weight machines, swim 30 min. I am surprised how my weight varies.
1/9 187 walked 30 min, elliptical 30 min, weights-arms & core 30 min.
1/10 186 no exercise- just a bum day
1/11 185 walked 30 min, incline treadmill 30 min, weights- legs 30 min.
1/12 185- no exercise
1/13 185- Monday morning back in the swing of things- active day but no gym
1/14 184- Back to my starting weight of 184 - I want to either hold it or hit 183.
1/15 185- Good workout today.
1/16 184- I am super happy to be back at 184. I logged all food and exercise in MFP. I overate on many days, so I am beginning to see why I am not losing weight. I will be stricter, as far as sugar goes. My weakness is the dates my spouse keeps on the counter. I need a counter habit for every time I want to eat a date. I don't take one (or more) when I am hungry, I take one to reward myself. I think I will buy some type of low-calorie sweetened snack to keep on the counter next to the grapes. I'll see what type of over-processed, over priced snacks are available. I also see other members are losing weight by eating very low calories, like 1000/day. I'll do some calculations on my net calories so I will know exactly what energy input/output needs my body has. Food today is normal 300 cal breakfast of coffee and fruit, soup for lunch. The next time I make soup and freeze individual portions I will do a better job of measuring the macros. I'm going for 80 g of protein, fat and carb per day, 1360 calories. This is less than the MFP number of 1430.
1/17 184 - I'm at the same weight but i learned a lot. I learned I want a new scale and I ordered one. I logged all exercise and food, so now I now exactly what it takes for me to stay the same. I had a "no eating plan" day and went way over my net calories, even though it was health food, I gained five. I love this challenge and I love reading others progress. I am happy I made a new friend.
