Just Give Me 10 Days ~ Round 108

GrandmaJackie · March 2020

Round 108

Please join us! Starting on 03/18 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 108
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

03/18 157.1 ~ {Steps 14,539} ~ Taking one day at a time, yesterday was extremely stressful but I didn’t go to food, yay! It turns out my daughter is working from home this week. This helps since I can be home with my husband this week.
03/19 157.1 ~ {Steps TBD} ~ Today hopefully things will workout for my daughter to stop out by for lunch. Focus, focus focus!

3/18 192.2 Happy to start with a loss! Am down and blue this morning—didn’t sleep well, my daughter was laid off with the rest of her company, so this at least is something nice to think about. Working hard to get exercise in and keep calories green. Can’t let the blues mess with progress...

3/19 192.2 Happy to stick with the lower weight and not bounce up. So far sticking to the program but struggling with feeling burned out by all the firefighting and emotional support I have to put out there.

Day/Weight/Comment

3/18 - 180.8
In a weird way I’m fine with holding steady within a pound of 180 for the past 5 weeks. I’m no longer gaining as I was, my metabolism is settling down, and I’m getting a good sense of what my maintenance calories really are. I haven’t been exercising much but as the weather warms up I’ll get back to walking long distances and I’m planning to expand one garden and plant a new herb garden (assuming the nurseries are open), so that will help. I also have some house painting (inside) left to do, so if I can keep my calories steady, I should start to lose again. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Now to shake this stupid cold! I hope you’re all finding ways to stay calm and healthy and in touch through these chaotic times.

3/19 - 180
How’s everyone doing? I’m trying to keep busy with my work (writing) and things I’ve put off for ages (sorting photos, going through clothes for what no longer pleases...). I’ve been trying to talk to one or two friends every day on the phone — social media are great, but we need to hear voices. I was going to teach a couple of writing classes this spring and summer, but they’re cancelled, of course, so I’m setting them up to teach online and hoping that will be productive for everyone involved. I’m looking forward to warmer weather so I can play in my garden. I’d love to hear what others are doing to stay healthy and as happy as possible during these difficult times.

R108 weight change: -4.9 lbs
Total weight loss: 117.4 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment

3/18: 272.0 lbs (-2.1) … my uptick weight continues to fall off. Got in a nice run this afternoon, running for 28 minutes at a 12:00/mi pace. Felt good to get back to that after all the stress and uncertainty lately. Didn’t quite get enough steps in to hit my daily 10k goal by the evening so I went on an almost 3 mile walk at 10pm with my headlamp on. Hopefully I didn’t weird out my neighbors, but it was nice to get some fresh air and exercise. | Running: C25k Week 8 Day 1 | 15,806 steps |

3/19: 269.2 lbs (-2.8) … big drop today, which I found surprising given that I didn’t eat super clean yesterday. This marks the first new low in about a week or so and now I’ve finally fully recovered from my recent uptick. It’s a little dreary today but my wife and I are still going to go for our lunch walk anyway. It’s good to get out of the house -- we’re feeling pretty cooped up being home all the time.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/18 - 361.8 - Good news. My interview on Monday went well. Better news. I have applied for several positions with state (PA) and federal gov't. One position with the state just got back to me and said I scored a 100 on their test. Now I'm just a bit excited. Getting a job with either means I can use my time in the Air Force towards retirement. I'll have to work until I'm 72, but hey... it does take a huge weight off my shoulders. Bittersweet news... My mom has lived with me for the past 20+ years. We recently found out she has early stage dementia. But the state is saying she now qualifies for in-home health care. Which means that while I am at work, someone will be here most of that time. This would be another huge weight off my shoulders. I had to reset my scale and it jumped up. Not happy, but let's see how it goes for the next few day.
03/19 - 360.9 - At a time where the coronavirus is virtually collapsing our economy, I got offered a job yesterday. I just have to pass the background check. As long as my previous employers are honest, I'll be fine. I guess the stress was slowing my weightloss, since I'm down almost a pound. The real barometer is if it continues. Time will tell. Also got my payout from my 6-month DietBet. I put in $175 and got out $176.30. Yup, a whopping $1.30 of winnings. Needless to say, I won't be doing that again. And that's a cautionary tale for anyone interested/considering participating.

R107: 3/17/20 EW: 138.8

Day/Weight/Comment

3/18: 139.0 (+.2) – This next several months will be challenging as we are all having to change our daily realities, activities, eating, etc. The more we can talk about it the better. I went to my small gym today (at a private club so its still open but they are limiting it to 10 people at a time. Thankfully I was by myself, and rode the bike for an hour and rowed for 10 min. I miss running and walking as I need fresh air. But I am determined to heal the hip and keep on keeping on. Everyone hang in there.😘

3/19: 139.0 (0) Nothing new. Just trying to stay put and work, entertain myself, eat healthy, etc. I went to the nursery yesterday, waiting to get in as they kept it to 10 people and strolled around in fresh air and bought a few plants to repot my pots. That will be nice…to be outdoors. Take care❤🌻🌞

bearly63 · March 2020

Congrats @kecward78 - so nice to hear good news! Happy for you - you have put in a lot of effort to get the job!

03/18 183.6 👇 (-2.4) I ended off last round pretty discouraged and woke up today having dropped 2.4 lbs. I made RG after all! I'm guessing that last rounds fluctuations were water so I'm not sure if I will continue to drop fast. Goal is to stick to my daily workouts (21 Day Fix Extreme), stick to my WOE (dr prescribed clean and lower fat keto)
03/19 184.6 👆 (1.0) ok still sticking with my routine. Had some extra snacks last night but still on plan. Normal fluctuations. Hopefully 😳

Round 108 - March 18 to 28
Female, 5’, 67 years. SW – 163.8, GW – 164 something, UGW – 140.
Goals: continue with 12 hr. IF, see if I can complete my tracking every day and get focussed exercise most days – either gym exercises I can do at home, other (like fitness video). Don’t expect to go to the gym for 2 months and then my membership will be almost finished. We do have a treadmill that my husband uses so I guess I could get used to using that.
Day/Weight/Comment
03/18 – 163.8 – sick with the regular flu
03/19 – 161.8 – Threw up and then hardly ate yesterday, so it is a false low – but still lovely to see that #. Feeling much better today.

@tiabirdie56 Oops. Sorry. My Amish Friendship bread recipe DOES call for a pack of yeast for the starter. I guess I am just used to receiving the starter from someone else and building on it for the 10 days (yeast no longer required). However, if things settle and you can get the yeast packets, this is wonderful bread and very easy & fun. You really can make many yummy additions and flavor choices easily.

@quiltingjaine I looked online for Senior Centers in the Tulsa area. There are quite a few of them. Your daughter will probably be able to sign one out and borrow one until she no longer needs it . In my area, it is free and you don't have to be a senior. Folks who don't feel like storing this equipment in the garages and basements will often donate them for this sharing program. I hope this helps. I hope she will heal quickly, without pain. Give her my best!

Below is a link to an old article but the program may still be in place.

@melodie1082 My sister is a nurse (NICU) and I am so thankful for what y'all do each and every day, and I can not imagine the additional stress now with the coronavirus. My sister (59 yrs) had hip replacement surgery around Thanksgiving. Other than 3 or 4 days of pain, she has done great and it changed her life - her original pain she lived with daily is gone! I've heard of some surgeries being postponed but this may be in larger hospitals. I hope yours is still going forward as I can imagine you're ready to get on with it. Wishing you a very speedy recovery!

I' m in! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie!

69 years old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...

...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.

We used to walk 5 miles a day. A pinched nerve and back surgery side-lined me for about a year. Then I had back surgery. Then I had hip surgery March 10th. Recovery is slow. Sure do want to be back walking!

The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

FOCUS FOR THIS ROUND
Settling in my morning routine to include some exercise.

GOALS THIS ROUND
- RGW 132.0kg
- Morning exercise 7/10 days
R108 SW 132.6kg

Day | Weight | Change | Comment

03/18 | 132.6kg | No change | Busy day at work and had visitors all evening/night. My mum came in to town ready to babysit my son today, so I picked my sister up on my way home from work and brought her to my place as well so we could all catch up. Later, my dad also decided to come into town but he didn't arrive until about 9:30pm. So it was a late dinner and a few beers, I was expecting a rise on the scale. On the bright side, I didn't snack after work and I didn't have dessert. Got all my water in, but no exercise. Hubby out of town for a day trip today, will see how shopping goes - we normally do an online order that he can just pick up, but they have cancelled that service at the moment so that is frustrating. Stay safe, everyone!

03/19 | 132.7kg | +0.1kg | Made homemade pizzas on wrap bases last night, they were delicious and much lighter than the normal dough bases I make, but I think my sodium was very high as a result (perhaps I should choose a more healthy topping than pepperoni...). Only drank 2L of water too so that also wouldn't help. No exercise as I'm still trying to shake this cold off. Our supermarket shelves were bare when I went yesterday afternoon - no TP, soaps, potatoes, bread, pasta, rice, tissues, canned vegetables, flour, ready-to-make packet meals, cheese, milk...nothing. This was Wednesday afternoon. Our store gets one delivery a week, on Tuesdays. So I don't expect to find anything on the shelves for the next week, which is ridiculous. What's happening, as the cities stock out, people are coming further and further out into the rural areas to wipe our shelves clean too. Their stores get deliveries daily, but they can't wait that long. I don't know what I'm going to feed my one year old toddler by the end of the week, unless they happen to get another delivery in (which they have to pay the freight for, so they won't do that as they don't make enough profit to cover it). I really don't understand how people can be so selfish. It's not a production issue, there is plenty of product available, it's just distribution is the issue - they can't keep the deliveries up to the stores because the demand is increasing exponentially! People are literally panicking over nothing. They're panicking because the media is telling them to. I wish the media would just stop covering all of this and just report the statistics and whereabouts of the virus, nothing more. It's so stupid, people being worried that something is going to stock out, so they buy as much as they can, causing it to stock out. If everyone just stuck to their normal buying, it wouldn't even be an issue but no, people are selfish and greedy.
Sorry for the rant, I'm just extremely frustrated with people.

03/20 | 133.1kg | +0.4kg | Wrong direction! It's just water weight, obviously, but I'm not sure what's caused it. Maybe sodium. I didn't drink enough water the last couple of days too. Feeling anxious and sad, and that leads to poor decisions for me usually. Hubby bought a lasagne for dinner last night, normally we would split it and eat half each, but I did split my share in half and ate it with a salad (bringing the leftovers for my lunch today with a salad). So that's another small win in the 'smaller portions' dinner plan.

Hello all! First time joining, I want to make it a habit to log on my computer instead of my phone so engaging with the community can be easier as I think that would help me a lot. I love the idea of the challenge and will do my damn best to stick to it.

STATS:
Age: 28
Height: 168cm
Round: 108 (first time participating)

SW: 111kg
CW: 93.6kg
RGW: 92kg
UGW: 75kg

DAY / WEIGHT / COMMENT

03.18 / 93.6kg / We're on lockdown, advised to stay at home, social businesses are closed, social gatherings are discouraged, so we get no visitors, mostly because me and my kids are all sick (regular seasonal flu). Older one is 3 and a half, younger is a year and two months old, and staying at home all day alone with a huge list of treatments for all three of us has been stressful, trying to be on top of everything for them has left me slide back into emotional eating. We don't keep junk food at home so at least it's nothing like that, but it's noon and I've already shot my calories for the day, and I'm afraid if I slip back into this without hitting the breaks somehow I'll lose the progress from the past month. So I'm happy to have found the challenge and I think having to add those comments will help as well to process things.

03.19 / 95.2 / A bit after midnight but still not in bed so it's still today for me 😅 I expected the weight to be up after yesterday but not as much, that kind of shocked me. I just have to keep reminding myself it will go down again in a couple of days so I don't fall into self-hatred. I always fluctuate by a lot, and I have always thought before I started weighing in daily those would probably be around a kilo top, but it's often two or three and it's shocking every time. Having a separate app that shows me a trend helps with reminding myself this is not real weight put on, it's just the result of a bad bad day. I use Libra to add those since it feels crappy to add them here even though mfp prompts for daily weigh-ins. I hate seeing an update on my feed that every few days I lose the same 0.5 kilos, so I just add when I've lost from my previous lowest. My calories for the day ended at being 1804, and with my tdee being around 2020-2300 I'm still happy with that. I usually aim for less but it's an improvement over yesterday and still keeps me on track. I've been able to be very strict until noon this time, had lunch and all that but I made something sweet for the kids and ended up getting way too much of that for myself as well. Without it it would have been a perfect day. Need to start preparing myself something to snack before I start making those cause otherwise I think I'll always be caving in, and I don't want to deprive them of having it at home just because their mom can't control herself. It's weird how easy it is to know how much they can have and follow it strictly cause I don't want them to be hurt by it as I am, and at the same time not be able to apply it when it comes to myself. I'm working late again and didn't snack after dinner however so I'm happy with that.

On general self-isolation. Did weekly grocery shopping today. Some shortages, but I got what I wanted. I always have a food store of dry foods, and we have stuff in the freezer. Northern Ireland has some supermarkets opening first 2 hours for over us 70s, so that helped the situation today

UK schools are closing indefinitely on Friday.
Take care everyone. 💕💖💕

General goal is to maintain below 150, and trend slowly downward to 145.
The downward trend is a bit slow for my liking, but at least it's is still downward.
Looking forward:

March: I need to focus on getting back to where I was pre-Christmas
2020: Goal is to stabilise weight around 145
Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
Cut down on eating between meals

Never give up! Never give in!
Back Story:

2018:
My goal was to get down below 160, to allow me to enjoy the indulgences of holidays and celebrations.
2019:
I exceeded that and have been below 150 for most of the last 2 months.
In 2018, I put on 10 lbs over the last 2 months of the year.
In 2019, I consistently lost weight since the end of July. I put on about 4lbs over the Christmas break, but was still below my original 2019 goal.
That's a WIN in my book!

2020
Focus: 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!

Update: My Grandson who went to the hospital was tested for strep throat (negative) and a common strain of the regular flu (negative). He was sent home with Mom to self-quarantine and watch if symptom worsen. They did not test for Coronavirus as they said there are only 150 test kits in the entire state of Michigan. They are to be used only for the worst patients who present with very bad symptoms and have to be admitted. They are told to watch for shortness of breath developing in the next few days. Otherwise, it is probably an okay virus or the Coronavirus that has healed. They stated that over half of all people in the county probably already have the Corona and don't even know it. Yikes! They were told that other children are responding better to children's Tylenol than Children's Motrin. Lots of fluids, lots of rest, keep good hygiene as best as you can for a 3 year old. Treat as if it is Coronavirus but watch and wait. This is scary. I have been staying in the past two days and keeping everything clean, clean, clean. I'm not going out except when I absolutely MUST. Have a good evening everyone and know I am think of you all & hoping things are going well for you all.

Round 108

Please join us! Starting on 03/18 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 108
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

03/18 157.1 ~ {Steps 14,539} ~ Taking one day at a time, yesterday was extremely stressful but I didn’t go to food, yay! It turns out my daughter is working from home this week. This helps since I can be home with my husband this week.
03/19 157.1 ~ {Steps 8,810} ~ Today hopefully things will workout for my daughter to stop out by for lunch. Focus, focus focus! Edit: I didn’t do tooo bad, my hubby wanted Burger King. We will see how it effects my weight.

@merph518, I look forward to my afternoon walks now! When my gym first announced their closure I thought no no way can I do this but we do what we have too. I do miss the pool and classes but this is helping my sanity, lol. Outstanding loss!
