Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 127

cpanus · September 2020

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. Recovered from back surgery then hip surgery!! Got back to walking then I sprained my ankle. UGH! I was down for 6 weeks with the ankle. Getting back to it slowly.

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

Heaviest: 192.2
Round GW: 150.0
UGW: 132.2

09/22 - 152.8 at 4:00 a.m. ...2.25 miles in 45 mins. It was beautiful today!
09/23 - 152.6 at 4:00 a.m. ...2.20 miles in 44 mins and 50 mins w/trainer.

Round 127

Please join us! Starting on 09/24 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 127
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.

SW: 168.5 {9/23}
GW: 165.5

Goals
- check in at least every other day
- low carb + no LNS
- actually participate

Day/Weight/Comment
***09/23 168.5 ~ {Steps 15,404} ~ Today, I hit all my goals with my meals and my workouts! I decided instead of letting my husband mood bring me down too, yes I decided to hit the gym,***

09/24 167.1 ~ {Steps 5,467} ~ Today was another tough day, my morning workout didn’t happen. Throughout the day I didn’t let emotions let my food choices get the best of me. We did get to relax with some friends, which we come home with an espresso zucchini chocolate cake. My plan is to pre slice the cake for portion control. Tonight I was successful of not eating a late night snack. Hopefully the scale will be nice tomorrow.

If you are praying people, please pray for our granddaughter. Some of you may remember a couple of years ago, she had been in jail with a chance at prison. The judge sent her on a wonderful recovery program and from there she got a good job and has been doing well. A week ago her BF’s dad suddenly passed away, funeral was Tuesday, yesterday her great-grandma passed at age 90. I worry about this young lady but her BF is very anti drugs and has been a great support to her. Her final court date is Friday. Sorry for going on. She has made such great strides yet I know the temptation will always be there.

Thinking of you and your granddaughter,. Hoping the judge can see what great advances she has made and the difficulties she has overcome. Great to hear that she is with a BF who will support her in the way she needs and hope their future together looks bright 🤗
Let us know how due does.

🌾🎍🌵🌴🌳💕💖💕🌳🌴🌵🎍🌾
🏖🎡💕💖💕 SEPTEMBER 💕💖💕🎡⛱
🌾🎍🌵🌴🌳💕💖💕🌳🌴🌵🎍🌾

Looking forward:
You are not stuck at home
You are SAFE at home
One word can change your attitude
One cough can change your life

Take care! Stay safe!

September focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:

2020 Focus:

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 by keeping busy

Never give up! Never give in!
Recent 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 ✅ Working on it. Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
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!

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 127 (round 59 for me ) I'm in for another round – I need it! As always, thank you @GrandmaJackie such a champion particularly in these unprecedented & unsettled times, helping keep some stability in our lives, for setting up these challenges.

Female age 62 5' 4” - Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !

Challenge for this round will be still on our fortnight's holiday, but not flown to a hotel cuz of C19, instead we have taken or caravan away so I am in charge of meal prep. Goal is to stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, hubby likes to play me with blood orange gin & 7UP, which I love, but I'll keep to one per day, keep walking, no binges, keep the 10 days binge free again, it makes such a difference!

I didn't eat enough yesterday, which probably has a bit to do with the drop in weight. I expect it to be higher tomorrow.

25/9 125.6kg

I'm surprised that I didn't see a bump here. But I won't complain. Still learning about ways to make takeaway food low carb, which is really hard when they bulk up meals with chips and bread. But tonight was a tasty win with a grilled chicken quarter and salad.

09/24 168.2lbs. I'm ok with this, I exercised before weighing and had some water too

09/25 167.8lbs. This is a milestone for me as it means I've gone down into to the next stone. I've gone from 12st 11lb to 11st 13.8lb. I know before I joined again I was into the 13st range, previously unknown territory for me and that gave me the serious jolt I needed.

I was expecting a bounce - maybe that will come tomorrow - ate all my exercise calories in the form of salted almonds, but otherwise stayed on track.

Round 127
Excited for My Round 5! I can't believe it's been over a month! Let's go!

Jillian Age 34 and 5'1"

HSW: 179.8
CSW: 164.4
GW: 130
UGW: 116
Mini GW: 158 will get me out of the obesity category and into the overweight category according to the BMI.

RGW: 162 and Exercise More

Round 123 (1): 179.8 to 176.4 (-3.4)
Round 124 (2): 176.4 to 170 (-6.4)
Round 125 (3): 170.0 to 169.2 (-0.8)
Round 126 (3): 167.8 to 164.4 (-3.4)

🏃 09/24: 164.4 I'm holding steady, which is fine since I lost so much in the last half of the previous round. The poke last night was delicious.
🏃 09/25: 165.2 I ate under my calorie goal, so this must be water weight from not drinking enough water ---- or something. I don't know. I'm going to play my Switch fitness games today. I heard a new Boxing game is coming soon in December, so I already know one of my birthday presents.

CFFT2002 · September 2020

Sept 22: SW 217
Female, mid 40's, 5'10"
Aim is to lower Blood Glucose (pre-diabetic)
Goal lose 5 lbs

Sept 24: W 216.
plan to stick to my eating window(did that!) doing a workout helps, drinking herbal tea instead of numerous cups of coffee.
Had a late night snack (not hungry, stress?). Also lots of infused parsley/lemon water.

Sept 25: W 214.
repeat yesterday: doing a workout, herbal tea, going to work on awareness of stress feelings(maybe aromatherapy?).

Good morning everybody and happy Friday! Yay it's finally here! As usual, my COVID weekend plans are a little limited, but I'm going to brave Manhattan and buy my mother a present. We're going to have beautiful weather, and I am going to get my exercise on 5th avenue. I will have to choose my prettiest mask!

SW: 248 (1/1/2020)
CW: 225
GW: 200 by 2021

Starting weight for this round: 225lb
Goal weight for this round: 223 lb

Food/Activity goals for this week:
Continue 16:8 Intermittent Fasting
Continue to log fasting blood glucose
Complete Week 2 of C25K and start Week 3.
Continue to plug away at my Obé "Harder AF" 28 day challenge.

9/24: 225lbs, FBG 99:
9/25: 223.6, FBG 115 Yay drop on the scale. Boo blood glucose. Too much bread? Maybe too much bread. I did C25K AND strength trained yesterday, so I felt very accomplished.
In just over a week, I'm temporarily relocating to New Orleans. I'm going to shelter in place with a friend who is also on a health journey. I will have two months away from my partner, where I can test the effects of a "perfect" diet, with no need to compromise on meal times or meal composition. I need to throw everything I can at my weight and blood sugar and see what I can do. After I come home, I'll go back to the doctor, we'll run all the tests, and come up with a long term plan.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

Round 127
Month/Day: Weight / Comment

09/24: 208.2 / Starting this round in one of my prototypical valleys. Maybe I can try to get a little lower. I would love to touch my maintenance range a time or two this round. 😊 Having lunch with a couple friends, outdoors today. Going to be a nice one weather-wise. I will try to choose a salad instead of the awesome burgers they have at this place.

09/25: 209 / Yesterday I chose half sandwich and salad for lunch. It was a fancy BLT. Delicious. For supper DW had planned BLT’s. Yay! No evening snacks.
