Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 112

beachbody4l · May 2020

5'0 / 29 / Female

Starting Weight: 128.2
Round Goal Weight: 125
Goal Weight: 116

04/27 - 127.4
04/28 - Did not weigh myself since I stayed up all night and day.
04/29 - 126.3 Obviously the extra 100-200 cal over my cal goal on the 27th and then no sleep on the 28th didn't negatively affect my weightloss. I'm very happy about that. As long as I keep up a little bit of activity throughout the day, I should be able to include my nightly craving for extra sharp cheddar lol
04/30 - 126.3 I'm not too worried about the scale not moving. I ate popcorn last night and I use a grotesque amount of salt in mine lol As long as I drink lots of water today and continue as normal I'm sure the scale will drop tomorrow.

05/01 - 126.3 again. Yesterday I went waaay over my limit. I ate taco bell, Hawaiian pizza, but it mostly had to do with the entire bottle of wine I drank. Just happy I maintained instead of gained.
05/02 - 129.2 YIKES I ate almost 900 over my goal and went on a 2-mile run followed by a mile walk to cooldown. I'm hoping it'll go down and is mostly water along with food weight. Guess we'll see tomorrow.
05/03 - 128...maybe? I stepped on the scale and it was 129.2 Did it a couple of times, still 129.2. Then I tried it again and it went to 128, now it won't change from 128. Yesterday I met my calories goal, drank water, used the restroom, and I'm feeling mega bummed. I'm thinking I won't make my goal of 125 and that feels awful. I really sabotaged myself the last couple of days.

05/04 - 126.4 Yesterday I went for another 2-mile run and an almost-mile cool down walk. I also stayed within my calorie goal and drank a couple of big glasses of water. I am thinking of making running a more regular thing even though while I'm doing it I can't stand it lol afterwards I feel amazing though. Still unlikely that I will make it to my goal of 125 but that was all due to me overeating. That's a factor only I can change.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/27 - 349.0 - Maintained, and even dropped, the previous loss. Now solidly under 350. I haven't been this low since 2011. And I got in a pretty good kettlebell/TRXRip workout this morning.
04/28 - 349.7 - A little uptick after going over on my calories. I'm happy it stayed under 350, though.
04/29 - 348.5 - And the rollercoaster goes down again. The gradual downward trend continues. I did get in a good walk this morning, but weights will have to wait until this evening.
04/30 - 348.6 - Virtually no change. My avocados were still too hard/not ripe, so I made a bagel sandwich. Tastes great, but really WAY too many carb calories. While I'll prolly never by keto, I do know I have to keep may average carb intake to 200 g./ day. I did remember that during my highest weight loss drops, I was drinking water w/ sea salt before my morning walks/workouts. So, I started back with that this morning. I didn't realize how much more energetic I felt when having that drink to start my day. I've also added an electrolyte tab to it.
05/01 - 349.1 - No exercising =s a little rise in weight. Sometimes you just want those lazy days, though.
05/02 off
05/03 off
05/04 - 348.1 - Gone for a couple, but back in it strong this morning. Got in a good walk and then a good workout (weights and bands), too.

@HoopsGuy72 When I started this JGM10D journey, I think I was more careful because I didn’t want to let the group down. Back then I planned on doing these challenges I didn’t count on getting addicted to the group! You can do this - we have faith in you!

Thanks Jaine! You have always been (and continue to be) so amazingly supportive of/to me.

I've been thinking about what it is that keeps me away when I "disappear." I think I realized it's less about disappointing any of you than I realized. If any of you are upset with me, I'm sure it's much more likely due to me disappearing than it is to my current success regarding calorie counting/weight loss. It's not that I don't care what you think, because I really do.

When I stay away, I think it's because I don't want to look at myself. It's NEVER a decision that I make consciously, but I'm pretty sure that this is what is happening. When things are going well, weighing/posting every day keeps me accountable, and focused. When things aren't going so well, weighing/posting every day is a constant reminder of how much I'm failing.

Hmm. That's probably not the whole truth, either. When I feel overwhelmed, I don't want anyone to know. I'm a psychologist, and I know this sounds hilarious, but it almost comes down to me not wanting to burden any of you with my $#!+. Not that I have any urge to talk about my $#!+, necessarily. It's more like I don't want to bring the group down. I don't want my energy taking away from the positivity here. I have this fear that I might bring you down without even trying. When I say it out loud, it hardly even makes sense.

I'm feeling okay right now; heck, I'm actually feeling pretty good. I'm just thinking out loud.

Round 112

Day/Weight/Comment
04/27 - 65.7kg, yay, back to where I was a few days ago, sticking to counting calories and walking
04/28 - 65.6kg, ate a "big" dinner which was not that comfortable even though within calorie limits...
04/29 - 65.3kg, a nice drop, most likely will not be sustainable through tomorrow and I'll see a bounce up
04/30 - 65.1kg, a delightful surprise this morning and well deserved because I've been so diligent :-)
05/01 - 65.1kg, thank goodness no bounce after eating what I thought was too much for dinner last night
05/02 - 64.9kg, made goal, but will there be a bounce? Yesterday was great for food choices.
05/03 - 65.3kg, no difference yesterday with eating well, didn't walk as much, should have had more water
05/04 - 64.7kg, I think I didn't weigh at the best time yesterday! Stuck with the plan and it paid off! 2 days to go
05/05 - 64.7kg, holding steady which is better than a bounce up and have hit goal so will wait for tomorrow :-)

04/28 - 133.9 kg
Feels like i dropped more than just that, but that will do for now. Its miserable here today, but rain or shine, i set myself a walking challenge daily, so im off. Also, since its cold and all i want i nice warm hearty food, i will stick to proteins and fresh veg.

04/29 - 133.9 kg
I have to say i was not surprised. Have been drinking a lot of water past few days, so i am sure its part of it. Will be going for another walk today and will also start working on myself more. I used to do it before and it really helps not with the scales but toning body and smoother skin - heat massages! Yay!!!
04/30 - 133.5 kg
Finally its coming off! I must say self control is working well. Weighing yourself everyday makes me feel good, it reminds me of my old me - scales never lie and if i am not happy with what they show, i know i can only blame myself and that gives a good kick up the *kitten*!!! So for today i have something new to try - vibrating plates! Since cant see gyms open soon, i am getting what i miss and have it at home! Cant wait to try out and see if its same as gym ones!!! 🤞🏻
05/01 - 133.2kg
Feel lighter than scales show! Meals are fine, all within calorie limit and lower, dont feel hungry lately at all. Another walk today in the countryside.
Need extra challenge 🤔
05/02 - 134.2 kg
Now this it *^%* !!!! Also *^%%#**+*|**|**+* and *^^*%%%**** !!! I knew its coming as felt lighter than scales were showing and clothes are more loose, but loosing fat and toning muscles is not what i want to see on scales!!! And i will be honest, scales make a huge impact of the mood and motivation!! It takes a long time to see changes in the mirror when scales show opposite!! Anyways, its my birthday so no alcohol, no cakes, no big fat juicy pizza, noooo....gona go for a walk with the whole family, and sip water pretending its gin!!! 😂😂😂 My partners birthday is on tuesday and we both will be celebrating then, because everyone forgot mine is today 😁😁😁
05/03 - 134.2 kg
Did actually indulge in a bottle of wine last night and some greek grill! And i am not ashamed! That gods sent liquid went down better than water!!! But am paying the price - scales are stuck!!!
05/04 - 134.2 kg.
Still stuck! Had a great walk and kept my calories down, not snacked as been busy clearing thr garage! So fingers crossed tomorrow i can get some positivity and my scales will love me again!
It really can shut your motivation when weight creeps up! I know it happens as fat is butning and muscles are growing, but cmon... i want magic 😂😂😂😂😂

Looking forward:
I'm just too danged cussed to let this thing knock me back, and ruin all the effort I have put in to get here. I am stepping up my routine, and taking control. Sheltering in place means I can fully concentrate on getting in my exercise, and preparing healthy food.

April: focus on maintaining and increasing my progress
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 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ So far, so good.
That's a WIN in my book!

2020
Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

Purple: #ff4968.

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!

Day/Weight/Comment
04/26 …..204.3….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND Weight was inflated due to travel & Chinese food the day before. Therefore, my hope is to lose a full 2 pounds (or more) this round to be at a 0.1 deficit (or more). If the travel yesterday caused suspected water weight, this, at minimum should be attainable.

04/27 …..203.2 ….. And there goes the water from the Chinese Food two days ago. Now, to work on the weight gain. Goal: 202.3 or less. I worked hard yesterday doing a mix-up of movement and exercise. Very sore knees over the past couple of days due to some of my exercise choices so I’m keeping an eye on that. I pray today will be a strong day. It is Sunny & beautiful today with no rain expected until after 8:00 PM tonight so I plan on taking advantage of that. I will be traveling tomorrow for carpeting about 200 miles away each way. Carpet sales were prohibited until May 1st so I’m getting my butt out there to get the 7 different pieces/sizes that I need. Good luck everyone on this round!

04/28 …..203.1 ….. Travel today. I expect the scale will be up tomorrow.

04/29 …..208.4 ….. Are you flipping kidding me????? Yes, I double-checked the scale several times. Travel yesterday consisted of no snacks, a light lunch and a small dinner I split into two portions (brought the other one home). High sodium Thai dinner with real rice (not cauliflower) so I know I’m retaining some water but this is crazy! I did eat the other half of the dinner at about 1:00 AM (about 3 hours before I went to bed). Today is cold, very gloomy and depressing with lots of rain. I will be indoors all day but I will be walking my hallways, using my ski machine etc. Lots of Parsley tea for me today! It was a long trip and when we arrived I could not even bring home the carpet. They did not have enough of the color/style I chose so they have ordered it precut in my sizes (I need 6 pieces). So next week will be another trip. Better choices next time!

04/30 …..207.9 ….. I peed all night so the water is shedding from the travel food. Traveling 3 times in the past week has made my journey a little rough this past week, but moving forward and soldiering on. I am going to work on some cleaning projects today in my house so I will try to stay fairly active but sorting clothing and going through paperwork does not involve a lot of steps so I will try to fit in some sets of other things. Yesterday I managed to burn an extra 858 calories with exercise. It is cold and rainy again here so I’ll be staying inside.

05/01 …..207.7 ….. This is not going down fast enough. It’s a beautiful day today. I hope to get some outside activities in, but because its Friday, I can’t leave the property (hoping for some business in the cabins, but things are still moving s.l.o.w. in Michigan. ) Have a great weekend everyone.

05/02 …..207.2 ….. Okay, a half pound whoosh! I don’t mean to be ungrateful, but I’ve got to get this train rolling under 200 or I’m going to pull my hair out! A beautiful day here (after a morning cloudy rain). I’ll try to do some outside stuff today but I need to stay near my office. Have a great Saturday everyone!

05/03 …..207.5 ….. This is what a glass of 2% milk looks like on me! Plenty of mixed exercise yesterday. Today is cabin cleaning, more yard work and maybe I can even fit in a walk. I would love to do some low carb prep cooking today but I don’t know if I can fit it in. We shall see. Anyway, I am inspired by all the progress I am seeing in so many of you. It really does help keep me on point. Enjoy your Sunday everyone!

05/04 …..205.7 ….. Crazy busy today so not much time to chat but what a wonderful result on the scale today!!!! I worked hard yesterday with diet & exercise. Today, my fitbit is on the fritz, it keeps flashing notifications on/notifications off. I’ve tried the restart fitbit process but it’s not working. It is a fitbit charge 2 (if anyone has any ideas, please post here or email me). In the meantime, I feel like I’ve been running all day but I have no idea of calories burned so I’m a bit sad about that. I’ll do my best to log the exercise with the MFP information.

I' m in! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie!

70 year 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.

@HoopsGuy72 When I started this JGM10D journey, I think I was more careful because I didn’t want to let the group down. Back then I planned on doing these challenges I didn’t count on getting addicted to the group! You can do this - we have faith in you!

Thanks Jaine! You have always been (and continue to be) so amazingly supportive of/to me.

I've been thinking about what it is that keeps me away when I "disappear." I think I realized it's less about disappointing any of you than I realized. If any of you are upset with me, I'm sure it's much more likely due to me disappearing than it is to my current success regarding calorie counting/weight loss. It's not that I don't care what you think, because I really do.

When I stay away, I think it's because I don't want to look at myself. It's NEVER a decision that I make consciously, but I'm pretty sure that this is what is happening. When things are going well, weighing/posting every day keeps me accountable, and focused. When things aren't going so well, weighing/posting every day is a constant reminder of how much I'm failing.

Hmm. That's probably not the whole truth, either. When I feel overwhelmed, I don't want anyone to know. I'm a psychologist, and I know this sounds hilarious, but it almost comes down to me not wanting to burden any of you with my $#!+. Not that I have any urge to talk about my $#!+, necessarily. It's more like I don't want to bring the group down. I don't want my energy taking away from the positivity here. I have this fear that I might bring you down without even trying. When I say it out loud, it hardly even makes sense.

I'm feeling okay right now; heck, I'm actually feeling pretty good. I'm just thinking out loud.

Thanks for sharing, HoopGuy! I think your post is accurate in so many ways for more than just you. I totally agree with the part about not wanting to look carefully at yourself when things aren't going as planned--that constant reminder of failure. That's exactly what happens to me when I disappear.

F, 45, 5'7"
OSW: 240.9
GW: 190

Round GW: 238.3
Last weight 04/26 – 240.3. did 20 min. Jazzercise and Yoga.

04/27: 238.5 Jazzercise 20 min. Yoga 30 min. Homemade pizza for dinner—nervous about how to track it accurately.
04/28: 239.4 Jazzercise 20 min. Yoga 30 min. Late lunch at 2pm. Extremely stressful evening, probably didn’t eat as much as I normally would.
04/29: 238.4 Very bad insomnia last night. No workout. Work stress is extreme right now.
04/30: 237.2 Went to the office today for the first time in over a month. It felt good to get a change of scene and I’m feeling more positive about things. It’s scary to think about increased risk for getting sick with loosening restrictions. Mixed emotions. For some reason feeling encouraged today. Yoga 30 min. Jazzercise 20 min. Diet was not good quality. If anyone reads this and has any tips about how to become a morning exerciser before work let me know. I think it would really help me schedule wise, but I’ve never been able to drag myself out of bed early to do it.
05/01: 237.2 Really surprised this wasn’t a gain. Very bad insomnia last night. Maybe stress burns calories . No workout.
05/02: 237.2 28 min Jazzercise, 35 min. Yoga, 40 min. Walk
05/03: 237.2. Jazzercise 20 min., 35 min. Yoga. Stress continues to be high. 10 day streak of MFP tracking. Took progress photos today, which I have never really wanted to do before. They are definitely the “before” pictures, although I have been exercising consistently for 6 weeks, so maybe if I took them 6 weeks ago there would be some subtle difference. It has been really inspiring to see others' success story photos on here and I want to be able to post my own someday.
05/04: 237.2. Kinda weird scale has been exactly the same for 5 days. Definitely feel like my legs are getting stronger. When I started Yoga I really couldn’t do triangle pose, my body was so inflexible and out of whack. I feel like I am really able to do it now, so that is exciting! Feeling more positive and less terrified for some reason today.

Hi everyone!! 👋 I might only pop in once every few days but I am still here. Got outside for a walk with Mom today. (She got outside while I was working too.) It was one of her good days. We did 11+ mins and about 0.37mi before she ran out of steam and I got cold. Then I did 26 mins on our recumbent bike. (Started a new team challenge with my coworkers so I must NOT be at the bottom of the pile.) 🤣 Food has been so-so but the scale has been pretty decent. I am not going to complain. 🐢🐢

eyesopennow · May 2020

Starting weight is 242 as of 4/25. Goals for this ten day challenge: Walk at least 20 minutes every day, log food, avoid sugar and alcohol and the usual empty calories, take my meds every day on schedule, and drink my water. With those goals, my target weight for this cycle is 237.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/27 -- Forgot to weigh in. Not a great start! Goals: walk: yes, 1 hour; log food: yes, ate my exercise calories though; empty calories: some, but progress; meds: yes; water: yes 10 cups and counting.

04/28 -- Weight 242.0, no change. I'm not worried, with correct behavior the weight will come off in time. Goals - walk: yes, 80 minutes log food: yes, under calories; empty calories: limited; meds: yes; water: yes, 10 cups.

04/29 -- Weight 240.6, down 1.4; Goals - walk: yes, 60 minutes; log food: yes, 500 calories under once you add the exercise calories; empty calories: limited; meds: yes; water: yes, 9 cups and counting

04/30 -- Weight 239.8, down .8; Goals - walk: sort of, 30 minutes in a grocery store.... weather too crappy to walk outside; log food: yes, and if I estimated portions correctly on my chinese take out I stayed under target, but barely; empty calories: yes, moderate; meds: yes; water: yes, 8 cups so far. Today was a bit of a splurge, will get things back in complete order tomorrow. Will probably pay a price for the Chinese food, though.

05/01 -- Happy May! Weight 240.2, plus .4; Goals - walk: yes, 80+ minutes with huge hills; log food: yes, under calories but ate half my exercise calories; empty calories: a few, not many; meds: yes; water: 10 plus.

05/02 -- Weight 238.6; Goals - walk: yes, 20 minutes; log food: yes, 300 calories under; empty calories: about 100; meds: yes; water: 9 +

05/03 -- Weight 239.0; Goals - walk: sort of, I cut grass for an hour and did 30 minutes of yard work so I'll count it; log food: yes, 300 under; empty calories: about 100; meds: yes; water: 11 and counting.

05/04 -- Weight 239.4. It is what it is, I am doing the right things so it is just a matter of waiting out my stubborn body! I am not concerned, it will happen in due course. Goals - walk: yes, 1 hour, it was a beautiful day! Log food: yep, 250 calories under; empty calories: 165, some of which was intentional to bring my blood sugar up twice today. A sure sign for me that I am eating better is low sugar, because my meds are calibrated for my crappy eating habits. I can adjust my meds to help avoid this as my eating and chemistry improve but when a low hits I need to add sugar. This is a good problem to have, as things go for me. Ah, the joy of diabetes! Meds: yes; water: yes, 10 and counting.

My journey … "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"

In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs.

In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.

In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs

My highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"

I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.

I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.

Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.

Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.

On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.

My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.

Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us.

*One of my major goals is to get my BMI under 40 (260 weight) so I can have surgery on my knees *
