Just give me 10 days - Round 133
Options
Replies
-
50 days ago, I was 2.5lbs heavier than I am now. 49 days ago I was 6.5lbs heavier! The body is a funny thing! I gained 4.5lbs. over night? Running and working out yesterday, just like every day? Weighing each blueberry and apple and grape tomato. (Not each grapes because they are WAAAY too many calories!) No, I know that is not a "true weight." I am obsessive and I admit I have disordered eating issues. BUT I am getting better for now.
This round MIGHT be my last...because it has helped me so much. However, I want to try to move away from weighing-in every day. These rounds have helped me not to be so dependent on the scale to define myself. I am going to TRY to get weighed every 5 days, so I would have to say good bye to Just Give Me 10 Days.
But I may very well be back! I hope to reach my ultimate weight goal of 122-125lbs. by the end of October of 2021. Slow and steady. And I hope to stay there and not get sick again, like last time...moving my goal to 120, then 118, then 115, then lower and lower until I was eating 800 calories a day and exercising for three hours a day, losing my hair, etc.
It has been a long, hard road, but I am grateful and still the luckiest girl in the world, as I realize that my problems are the problems of the privileged.
STARTING WEIGHT: 338lbs on January 1, 2014
ROUND 133 STARTING WEIGHT ON 11/23: 139lbs.
ROUND GOAL WEIGHT: 139-138.5lbs.
ULTIMATE GOAL WEIGHT: 122-125lbs.
Previous Rounds
Round 128: 138-139lbs. (+1)
Round 129: 139-134lbs. (-5)
Round 130: 134-137.5 (+3.5)
Round 131: 137.5-134 (-3.5)
Round 132: 134-136.5 (+2.5)
11/23: 139lbs. (I know what this weight gain is. I know it is hormonal or water or whatever! Because it happens EVERY MONTH! And I have been running consistently and counting every grape tomato and weighing every banana! And it takes an excess of 3,500 calories to gain a pound. There is no way I could have legit gained 7lbs. in two days with my energy expenditure and my caloric intake! And I am okay! By Friday or Saturday I will be at 136 or 135! And even if I am not, as long as I am still counting calories and exercising and not bingeing I am okay!)
11/24: 138lbs. (Still on plan!)
11/25: 137.5lbs. (Slow and steady!)
11/26: 136lbs. (Here!)
11/27: 135.lbs. (Stuck to plan! 1152 calories, ran, worked out, didn't binge or restrict and I figure that was good considering many see yesterday as a day of eating. Today is mom's birthday, and I have a wedding rehearsal tonight -small group who will adhere to social distancing today and also for the wedding, but weddings always make the nervous. So we will see if I can keep on track today. Worked out this morning and plan to run before work.)
11/28: 134lbs. (Sticking to plan.)

11/22 …..208.1….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/23 …..207.2…..Traveling today for a new hot water heater. The one in the house only lasts about 2 minutes. Very deceiving because it actually looks brand new, even all the stickers on it. Looked up the model and serial number and it’s 31 years old! Wow, they really dusted and kept everything looking good but….. Well anyway, probably some fast food out which is always a treat since we always have little to nothing in this small town for restaurants, even pre-covid. I will try to be mindful.
11/24 …..207.2 ….. Grateful for no gain after an all day travel until after dark. Made the best choices I could. I think the lack of my usual travel gain was because of hard work when I got home. Still unpacking 22 years of home and business. Nothing here has been ready to accept my stuff. All the shelves need re-lining in the kitchens and 3 bathrooms. Tons of workers and friends in each day to help with all the mechanicals. Today I hope the new hot water heater will go in. Also the new wireless router for upstairs. Can I hope that 4 deadbolt/doorlocks will be done and old locks added to chosen interior doors? A busy day planned. I also hope to catch up on all the posts from the last round when my internet was not working. Thanks to everyone for all the well wishes.
11/25 …..206.2 ….. Not the best diet but plenty of work and movement. Grateful for the drop. Hot water in and leaking like hell. Not sure when he will be back because of the Thanksgiving holiday. My house looks like a war zone. I will try to pull off a clean kitchen table and a small Thanksgiving dinner just for my son & I tomorrow. Our standard large family dinner has been cancelled (or postponed) because of Covid restrictions in Michigan. So busy anyway. I’ve got to pull this together before Christmas!
11/26 …..206..6 ….. Hmph! Thanksgiving today. Tomorrow won’t be pretty but my son and I do have much to be grateful for this year.
11/27 …..207.6 ….. Not too bad of a post Thanksgiving weight. The immediate problem will be the leftovers. I know I’m not alone in this. I’ll try to keep things under control.
11/28 …..206.4 ….. Yes, Yes, Yes!!!!! I am DETERMINED not to let Thanksgiving be the start of a DISASTEROUS NIGHTMARE of weight gain THIS YEAR like it has been in the past. I am so happy that I am going to try to do the happy dance amid all these boxes still unpacked. Cheshire Cat smile here folks.

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

11/23 117.0 New restrictions start just after midnight tonight. Welcome to California Junior. The governor has effectively cancelled Thanksgiving gatherings for all. I had previously cancelled (last week) the one we were planning and my menu keeps shrinking!
11/24 118.0 I know why. Need to take something!
11/25 117.5 Bathroom success after weighing. YAY!! DH baked cookies last night (for DGD#3 and DSIL) today I’ll be baking pies for DGD#4 and DGSs#2&3. DD will pick those up along with silly place card holders I made this afternoon. Also keto friendly desserts for us.
11/26 117.5 Happy Thanksgiving to the citizens of the USA! EVERYONE have a BLESSED DAY!
11/27 119.5 Aaah, Thanksgiving. Totally expected-had small amounts of sweet potato and mashed potato, 3 small homemade dinner rolls, and lots of eggnog! Really, most of the foods we enjoy regularly. Dinner rolls and mashed potatoes as well as eggnog are the culprits! LOL I didn’t even taste the keto pumpkin pie I made. I was NOT stuffed but I was FULL. All things considered, a great day. I just wish we had been able to join family!
11/28 120.0 Expected. This should be going down tomorrow. I plan to get my lazy butt out of the chair for this -

Round 132 End Weight: 174.2
Round 133 Goals: Track & Make Healthy Food Choices, Minimize Alcohol, Continue Running Plan + Add in Strength Training, Lose 1.5 pounds, DO NOT GET DERAILED by Thanksgiving
Day/Weight/Comment
11/23: 174.2 Yesterday was a rest day from exercise, but was very busy anyway and got a lot of steps organizing the house all day. Today is supposed to be a running day but it is pouring raining outside, but hopefully it will let up enough to get my run in. I'm also going to go ahead and pre-log my Thanksgiving meal for Thursday to get a good idea of what my calories need to be be the rest of the week to even out the damage
11/24: 175.6 Drank wine last night that led to late night snacking, so this is expected. On the positive side did get a run in yesterday and have my last pre-turkey trot run this afternoon. Back on track today with food choices and being AF again. (My AF plan is to reduce the amount of days a month I have any alcohol not cut it out all together).
11/25: 175.6 Ran my last Turkey Trot training run today, not a great run, having a lot of calf tightness (even though I do a lot of yoga and stretches), which is not normal for me. Have decided to run my 5K on Saturday and the it will have the best weather & not be raining. Lots of Thanksgiving prep tonight!
11/26 DNW Happy Thanksgiving!
11/27 DNW Feel puffy in the face today from the sodium. I didn't overeat to access yesterday, just had small portions of everything but definitely way, way over on calories. But had a really lovely day!
11/28: 176.8 Ugh!, here's the Thanksgiving gain, but it stops today...will be posting a loss tomorrow! I've got my 5K planned for today and it will be in the low 50's (very unseasonably warm), my favorite running weather!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/23 194.0 Not surprised had beef ribs last night. I was mindful about everything else I ate for the day. So It shouldn’t be I huge increase. I’ll take this. I am going to be very mindful all week.
11/24 193.5 14041 1964 calories. I am trying to be mindful. Eat lots of fruit and veggies. 2 eggs, 1 sausage link and an avocado for breakfast.
11/25 193.3 11759 steps 1874 calories. I had chicken salad last night with my babies. Light breakfast today. Having apple pie tonight is a tradition with my foster sister.
11/26 194.7 There is apple pie. Yesterday 11956 steps 2365 calories no hugs required.
11/27 195.8 I woke up this morning saying please don’t let it go over 196. I kept my portions small. Waited 10 minutes before I went back for more and small portions. Sweet potato pie. 9788 steps and1768 calories. Not bad. Plus I worked out last night for 15 minutes.
11/28 195.7 Finished the pie, don't want it in the house. Drank lots of water. Plenty of leftovers.

Ok im joining back into this again. I keep losing weight, then I get thrown off track and gain it back, then I get focused and have to lose it all over again. Ugh. I just find that at about the 8 -10 week mark I start getting bored.
Anyhow, hoping this will help keep me focused

Round 131 (6): 144.4 to 139.6 (-4.8 lbs)
Round 132 (7): 139.6 to 138.8 (-0.8 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- Maintain weight at 138-139.
- Run/walk my evening walk with the dog to work up to a 5K by Thanksgiving
11/23 - 139.4 - Not the start I wanted, but I’m feeling really bloated today so that might be part of it. I’m also really annoyed that after updating my phone last night, it appears to no longer be receiving workout and step information from my Apple Watch. I hope I can figure it out soon - in the meantime I can enter the workouts manually and change MyFitnessPal to get my steps from Pacer rather than Apple Fitness. Still frustrating though!
11/24 - 138.8 - I switched HappyScale to maintenance mode this morning. It was really bothering me to see the trend line numbers getting smaller and the next goal weight staring at me every time I opened it. Focusing on maintenance for awhile is going to involve a mental shift - but since I haven’t changed my calories or exercise habits, having the scale stall is... frustrating.
11/25 - 138.6 - The Thanksgiving cooking has officially started! I made the gravy and the cranberry cheesecake last night and will do the apple pie and the sweet potatoes today. I hope I haven’t been getting too many extra calories from the tasting and checking as I cook. 😂. I had two fun NSVs yesterday - first, I beat the final boss on my Ring Fit Adventure game! It’s pretty cool to see how many hundreds of squats and arm presses and other exercises I’ve done over the past 2.5 months I played. It’s got a new game plus that I will check out starting tomorrow. The second - my wedding/engagement ring fit again! I had to take it off during my pregnancy and never could get it on again. I kept meaning to get it resized, but.... pandemic. I decided to try it again yesterday, and it fits comfortably! So happy!
11/26 - 138.0 - Well, that’s a nice drop - but it’s not likely to stick given today’s menu. Happy Thanksgiving to all the Americans in the group - I hope you have a wonderful day remembering all you have to be thankful for. I’m certainly thankful for this group and the amazing support it’s given over the past few months!
11/27 - 138.2 - I would have been happy with anything under 140, so this is great. I was good about having reasonable portions yesterday, but really only estimated putting things into MyFitnessPal - I wasn’t about to worry about weighing everything this time. And I only had half a slice of cranberry cheesecake (which was still SO DELICIOUS). We did a Zoom get-together with my husband’s family yesterday and will be doing another with my side of the family this morning. We would have loved to have seen family in person, but it was still a lovely Thanksgiving. Now back on the weight-loss track!
11/28 - 137.6 - It’s certainly gratifying to see the scale numbers going down again, especially after such large turkey meals the past two evenings. Tonight I get to make one of my absolute favorite recipes - a turkey cheddar broccoli bake that we had after Thanksgiving every year while I was growing up. I’ll lighten it up a little, and have it over quinoa or brown rice - but mainly I’ll just need to be careful with portions. I just hope my kids love it as much as I do.

11/23 - Walked 2 miles yesterday, but at a slow pace (dog wanted to sniff everything. Going to run/walk the full 5K again tonight.
11/24 - Ran 2.6 miles last night at 12:00 min/mile pace. Slow, but that did include stops to let the doggie sniff and poop. 😂
11/25 - Walked 1.57 miles last night
11/26 - Walked/jogged 2 miles with a very reluctant doggie. Going to walk a full 5K tonight to hit my Apple Watch Thanksgiving challenge.
11/27 - Ran/walked 3.25 miles last night - total time of 42 minutes. Would love to do it in under 40 on Sunday (when I won’t have the dog to slow me down and force stops.)
11/28 - Walked 1.5 miles last night and already did a 3 mile walk with the family today. Will probably jog the 1.57 loop tonight.

SW 126.2 (April 14th, 2020)
Highest lifetime weight: 138 lbs. August 2011
Goal Weight: 110 but also happy with where I’m at right now.
Previous rounds: 125.2 -> 122.8 -> 121.6 -> 121.2 -> 119.8-> 119.4 -> 117.8 ->116.6 -> 117.2 ->117.2->114.8 ->116.8 -> 116.4 -> 114.0 -> 115 -> 115.4 ->115 ->113 -> 113-> 113.8 ->114.6 -> 113.6
Goal weight for this round: Maintaining around 113 or dropping to 112 would be nice.
Another goal: Embrace the scale fluctuations and not get flustered.
Previous days11/28 116.8 Creeping back down slowly. I got a 20 minute spin bike workout in this afternoon, which felt great. Yesterday, I ended up making soup from left over roasted veggies and added some turkey to it. It was so yummy and I also made some croutons from left over stuffing to go with it!
Day, Weight, Comment
11/23 DNW today but I did do a 20 minute spin bike workout during my lunch break. Not much to report for today. I plan on doing another 20 minute spin bike workout tomorrow during my lunch break.
11/24 Feeling puffy today, I had a salty lunch and dinner last night. I think I’ll try and drink a few glasses of herbal tea to help increase the fluids so I don’t feel as uncomfortable. I’ll be making pork tenderloin with roasted carrots and maybe leeks for dinner tonight. We have some apple cider, so I’m going to put that with some chicken broth in the pan with the carrots and pork to create a yummy sauce and add some extra flavor to it all.
I also want to try and jump on the spin bike today, even if it’s just for 15 minutes! I normally don’t use it two days in a row, but my goal is to get up to 5x a week with it. That 5x a week goal will also be easier starting in January when my husband is leaving each morning for his clinical fieldwork. I’m a morning workout person, so having to be quiet in the mornings the past couple of months has made it a challenge trying to fit exercise into the afternoons for me.
11/25 I plan on weighing tomorrow morning to see where I’m at. I’ve exercised both Monday and Tuesday which is a win for me because lately I’ve just been doing something on Monday but not Tuesday. So I was really happy with that. Today I plan on using the bike again. Yesterday was a 27ish minute ride and I think today I’ll aim for another 20 minutes. For tomorrow my goal is to do a longer ride for the turkey trot. I plan to do a 45 to 60 minute ride as a challenge.
Dinner might be a pureed soup using up roasted veggies from last night’s pork tenderloin dinner. I ended up roasting white potatoes, carrots, fennel, hakurei turnips and leeks with the tenderloin sitting on top of it all. I also added a cup of apple cider and ¾ cup chicken broth. I thought it came out yummy and the veggies got nice and soft, making them perfect for a blender soup! That should be a nice light dinner before a day of eating lots of food for Thanksgiving. If I don’t get around to posting tomorrow, have a happy thanksgiving everyone!
11/26 Thanksgiving, did not post
11/27 My 45 minute turkey trot ride was a success 😊. Food was not a success but it’s only one day. We got to see my in laws safely, so that was nice. We have lots of left overs to munch our way through over the next few days along with CSA veggies to work on eating. Hoping this week hasn’t done too much damage, I already have plans to be more active moving forward related to at home workouts. I just signed up for the playbook app to have access to more spin bike rides and other at home workouts. So, I’m really excited about that! I definitely workout more when I have someone telling me what to do. I’ll be curious to see what I weigh today, I’m hoping to be pleasantly surprised but it’s been a week of salty food and just being a little more lax with food.
My challenge I’m going to work towards is to use the spin bike 4 to 5 times a week. Then, potentially add more little pieces to it as well.

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.

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.
