jemtred · November 2020

I have just not been focused enough over the last month. Weight up and down and no net loss. This round will be better.

OSW 88KG
RSW 63.75 kg
Target this round to lose 1kg

11/03 63.45kg. On the downward trend yet again. Went to the gym in the morning and did aerobics in the evening.
11/04 64.0kg. Disappointed especially after all the exercise. Hoping it's just from a late dinner.

11/05 63.45kg. I've been to the gym and I have a core fitness class later. All good food planned.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 131 (round 61 for me ) I'm in for another round – I still really need the accountability & stability! As always, thank you @GrandmaJackie such a brilliant champion particularly in these unprecedented & unsettled times, 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 to get back into 132s. Stick with good habits; be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, keeping the 10 days binge free makes such a difference!

Day/Weight/Comment

11/03 133 – 11.33 miles walked yesterday, 175 calories over.
11/04 132 – wow wasn't expecting that whoosh, but I'll take it!! I know from experience it'll most likely be up again tomorrow, but try to have as perfect a day as possible to prevent as much of a rise as possible. 10.89 miles walked yesterday, 743 calories in credit. Was aiming to lose a pound by next Tuesday, but now it's gone this morning new aim is to retain it !! Driving up to see DD & DS and respective families today before lockdown starts tomorrow which means 3.5+ hours sitting in the car today.

11/05 Lock down in England starts again for 4 weeks

132.8 – there it goes the expected upwards, but got to work at! Only 4.69 miles walked yesterday, hence 59 calories over.

Hi, I’d like to join round 131 please.

I am seeking to maintain (or drop a small amount) and find that I need the discipline of daily weighing to stay on track. I use Happy Scale to record my weight and will post actual weight in kg and the trend direction.

Round 130 (1st for me) SW 57.2. EW 56.5. Loss = 0.7 kg

Round 132 SW 56.5kg. GW 56 kg

Tue 3 56.6 Trend ↔️ Not the best start but yesterday’s lunch was good!
Wed 4 56.7 Trend ↔️ Going in the wrong direction 👿
Thu 5 56.6 Trend ↔️ Scale was undecided between 56.6 and 56.7. I think I worked hard enough for 56.6 or lower!

Round 131: DAY THREE

Overall starting weight: 349.2
Round 131 starting weight: 333.2
Aim for Round 131: lose 1.3lbs (331.9)

Goals: weigh in every day and give a sentence update on how I'm doing
11/03: 333.2. Yesterday was a good day, although I panicked about my calories being 100 higher than most Mondays because I had a lasagne; I definitely catastrophise weight loss. Good to hold on to the loss so far.
11/04: 332.2. Down a pound, which is great, although it can easily bounce back up again tomorrow, but it's great to see the scales coming down. Makes me feel like I can do this.
11/05: 332.2 Holding on to the pound weight loss, which is great - that's 17lbs total so far. It's very slow given my age and MS, but the scales are coming down.

You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.

GW: <200 in 2020 BMI 35.2
UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese
2 weeks till 37th wedding anniversary 💕
2 weeks till next physical 🩺
8 weeks (~ 5 rounds of 10 days) till 2021 🎉

My goal for 2020 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
Plans:
🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
🔹Drink more water (target min 80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
🔹Drink less alcohol (4 AF days per week; ~16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

R131: Continue checking in daily! Success is the sum of small efforts repeated daily … day in day out. Forgot to take my scale to the camp this round due to the stressful family situation (mom's husband in ICU). So focusing on good habits scale or no scale!
🎯Mini Goal: Finish this round below 217 … tired of seeing that number appear and then bounce back up. Love to see 215 on the scale this round.

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
11/03 217.7 Walked 5 miles, tracked, AF. NOT one snack today. DH is on board to refocus with me. Recovered from the weekend splurges.
11/04 215.3 Walked 3 miles, tracked, AF. Donated blood ended up with an unplanned high carb snack before leaving the center.
11/05 DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 No exercise (should’ve could’ve walked), tracked, 1 larger glass of wine. Long drive to camp to begin helping my mom with her husband in ICU.

SModa61 · November 2020

Next overall goal is to get under 140. I would like to get that done before Thanksgiving and hold through Thanksgiving. For this round, I am going to focus on getting to 141.

Going to continue with daily tracking, staying under goal calories, and minimum of 20 min formal exercise/day (all from UAC challenge). I am also trying to do 90 minutes of planks, and 24 hours of formal exercise this November (24 hour and 60 minute plank challenges).

Previous goals: get under 150; get under 145 for my birthday; get to pre-COVID 142.4

Round 131 – starting weight 142.2

11/3 – 141.6 Nice start to the round. I am starting also to make note of my net calories to begin the process of learning what calories accomplish what. Yesterday was net of 1022. I have read a woman should not be regularly under 1200. I was hungry later in the evening yesterday, but rode it out. The previous day, leading into the challenge, my net was 1227 and no hunger issues.

11/4 – 141.0 Wow! Not expected. I guess my reward for not engaging in my normal stress eating patterns. The french’s onions, that I purchased way too soon, were calling me all evening. Did not open and am considering asking my husband to hid them from me until I am cooking for the 5 of us for Thanksgiving.

11/5 – 140.8 I really was expecting some take back. I’m sure its coming. But last night, I tried something new. I headed out after dark and walked/jogged for the equivalent of a 5K. Took just over 40 minutes, but I now know a route that would achieve this and I can measure improvement against it over time. Maybe someday I will enter a 5K.

11/03 - 152.1
11/04 - 151.2
11/05 - 150.8 - Not really bloated, but have a bit of heaviness in my low belly. Nothing terrible, just noticeable. I managed my water goal yesterday of 64oz. 16hr 20min fasting. Dinner did not have veggies, but I feel my salad helped balance that, as well as the fruit I snacked on a bit for that sweet flavor. Not ideal, but better. Think I need to focus on getting veggies in during lunch. I typically don't know what dinner will be until its being made so to ensure I get some in, my lunch needs to include veg. If there's veg at dinner as well, that's even better! I have some steamables veggies for lunch but nothing else. May pair with a small sandwich. Then I'll focus on brainstorming ideas for when I go shopping next. I really loved steamables before, but it seems HEB hasn't had the selection I'm used to. Walmart may have to bridge that gap which will take more planning. My health is worth it!

Previous Day's Comments

11/03 - Dinner wasn't great. I felt so bloated and heavy and just ick in general within minutes of eating. I didn't have a lot, but it felt like I gorged myself out of nowhere. 1 cup of stew is it. Not sure what that was about. Water was short, but not by too awful much. Better than it has been. Chilly out this morning so definitely thinking yoga if I manage a workout. 16hrs fastest yesterday. Might try for 17 today, depends on how my poor tummy feels.
11/04 - I don't feel overly bloated AND I dropped? My body is really all over the place lately. I'll take it, though, since that makes more sense to me. I didn't get to fast much as BF made breakfast (he was really excited and wanted me to try this new combination he thought of - it was AMAZING). Today I definitely want to fast a bit longer. Dinner ended earlier than it has been the last several days, back to where it was previously, so that helps with longer fasts in the morning. I was shy about 6oz of hitting water goal, but much much better than before. I'm already ahead of the curve this morning with water so today should go well. I have a salad and some fresh fruit for lunch so I'm set to break my fast with the good stuff. Not sure what dinner is yet. Hopefully it has a side of vegetables, though. Been trying to focus on healthier options. I bought some Meal Simple options from HEB. Had General Tso's with veggies on Monday (craving Chinese food while shopping) and yesterday I had teriyaki salmon with stir fry veggies. Last week I had a baked potato from it. It is a little more expensive, but I figured I'd try it. I was craving a baked potato and my fast was over while I was still shopping - boom, I happened to see a baked potato in that section!. Worked out really well and it was quite yummy. Plus, it inspired me to start thinking of lunches I can make for myself at home/prep for when I begin commuting (if that ever happens). Some require an oven (like my salmon - its uncooked), and some are cooked and ready to reheat in the microwave. Its definitely way better than a frozen meal when in a pinch! I think I really needed those to kickstart me back into focusing on healthier options during my eating window.

Day/Weight/Cal Out/Comment
11/03 - 71.9 - 2055 - Ended up only 75 steps off my daily target yesterday and I'm often a long way off, so it looks like my strategies to increase my NEAT worked yesterday. I needed to buy new walking boots yesterday so went for a wander around town at lunch, and took a quick walk around the block mid afternoon. Hopefully I'm able to keep that up today. Weight is down which is pleasing, but I'm not focusing on it too much as I'm working on activity this round. Decent start to the round, average is only just down from yesterday, but mondays are often more active than the rest of the week so it was slightly higher than I had expected. Today's will be the first real challenge as I'm working from home today, and activity is always low on those days, if I can up it today, that'll really make a big difference in my averages.
11/04 - 71.9 - 1893 - WFH Day. I'm not going to be able to use that excuse for very much longer, we're about to switch to full time home working as England goes into another lockdown, so if I want to increase my calories out, I'm going to have to make some substantial changes to my WFH days. Interestingly my step count was actually not that bad, so I think that yesterday's steps were probably more pondery steps compared to the more active steps I take when I'm in the office. Eating wasn't great as OH was cooking, but remained under maintenance. I need to do a food shop tonight as we're rapidly running out of easy to cook, healthy meals in the house. And the weather has taken a turn for the cold, so now I'm suddenly craving warming comfort foods. Salads are out, soups are in! And I do love a good hearty soup.

11/05 - 72.7 - 1984 - Hahaha, yeah it's a good job I'm not focusing on scale weight this round. I mean, this is 100 percent because I ate like crap yesterday. Last day in the office, so I had to go to my favourite food stall and get an amazing sweet chili chicken bibimbap before lock down stops me having the opportunity (interestingly, I was not the only person who did so, there were 5 people who don't normally come into the office, who came in especially to get food from there). Then for tea, OH fancied a pizza and I wasn't that hungry, so he had pizza and I had some sides and garlic bread. I didn't save that many calories, but I probably would've had the sides and pizza otherwise, so I'm classing it as a win. Super salty though, so am not surprised by the scale. Activity wasn't bad, went for a wander in the afternoon that pulled my daily out up.

Round 131. Newbie to the thread. Thanks Jackie for setting this up; I could use 10 days of focused attention to lose a few pounds to stay on track for my 2020 goal. I hit 185 briefly, but have been bouncing up and down above that for the last couple of weeks.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/3 189.8 working to buck a trend in the wrong direction due to the Halloween candy’s inability to outrun my sweet tooth and my eldest child leaving home.
11/4 188.9 Biked 48 miles. Ate decently—for a change—well below my adjusted for exercise calorie goal. Logged all food/water. Good ride, but against a heavy wind so legs are feeling it.
11/5 188 Recovery day. Healthy meals. Getting back into a routine of smoothie—salad—healthy dinner. Ate a bit over deficit goal, but my ceiling is 500 below my BMR.

Just Give Me 10 Days is the first “challenge” that has helped me gain some freedom over the scale. Most days my weight doesn’t shape my mood- so far. And so I am deeply grateful for this and for you all.

My main goal is not to be elated or devastated by the scale. It has been a very long, emotionally painful journey with my weight, all of my life. I want so badly to escape my food addiction. I never want to be 338lbs. again but I know it could very well happen. I don’t want to be 115lbs. again because at that weight I was losing my hair and I was sick all of the time and exercising four hours a day, eating less than 800 calories. I just want moderation!

This daily weigh-in has been a good discipline. Hard to get too excited or upset over the scale when one sees how much fluctuation happens regardless of my caloric intake and exercise.

I limit myself to a manageable 3.5 mile run each day, a 20 min morning workout and a 10 minute bedtime workout. And I eat 1,200 6 days a week and 3,600 one day a week. (My high-protein day). No added sugar. No meat.

STARTING WEIGHT: 338lbs on January 1, 2014
ROUND 131 STARTING WEIGHT ON 11/3: 137.5lbs.
ROUND GOAL WEIGHT: 137.5-136.5lbs.
ULTIMATE GOAL WEIGHT: 122-125lbs.

Previous Rounds
Round 128: 138-139lbs. (+1)
Round 129: 139-134lbs. (-5)
Round 130: 134-137.5 (+3.5)

Day/Weight/Comment
11/3: 137.5lbs. (So it seems like I am not successful on this plan, but I don’t see it that way for the first time in my life. In the last 30 days I have lost .5lbs. That is good! That is just fine! The main thing is that I am not bingeing or restricting or purging or over exercising. All things I used to do. I have eaten right. I have run 3.5 miles a day, I have done my exercises every morning and night. I have not eaten added sugars. And I have not let the scale determine my mood except for one day! And the bonus is I weigh .5 less than I did last month! I was 338lbs. in November of 2013. I was 158lbs. on this day in November last year. I am headed in the right direction.)
11/4: 136lbs. (Here I am.)
11/5: 138.5lbs. (Last night I made a conscious and controlled choice to eat in excess of my calories for the day. No added sugars, high protein “good” whole food, but still over my caloric allotment for the day. It was not for a good reason. While I was hungry, yes but I always am- 1,200 a day doesn’t feel like a lot when I average 18,000 steps a day with 65 minutes of cardio daily. But I ate because I am so scared about the election. I knew that banana and the pint of blueberries wouldn’t change the results or make revealed any faster but I gave in and said “I need this.” So my goal today is to not restrict, which would be my pattern. Normally I would eat about 300 calories or less today. And best myself up. But my goal is not to do that today. Accept whatever gain I have this round and move forward.)

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 131
Month/Day: Weight / Comment

11/03: 211.0 / Clearly, I can maintain the proximity of 210. (If you see my recent history in the spoiler.) And, I do like my bod better now than I did at 240. But, I am trying to see if I can muster the discipline to get to that 205 plateau.

11/04: 211.8

11/05: 210.0 / I looked right at the bag of leftover Halloween candy and then looked away. In fact, it is hanging in the pantry and it seemed to reach out and brush my shoulder. Brazen temptress. I gave it the cold shoulder.

Another three-day weekend coming up with friends. Our fellowship usually revolves around some form of exercise (hiking, pickleball, yoga, biking), food (+ alcohol) and cards (bid euchre, rummy). There are ALWAYS piles and bins of naughty things to eat between meals.

Upon reflection, I am amazed how no ten-day challenge passes without involvement of some festival of food. First world problem.
