Just Give Me 10 Days -Round 150

quiltingjaine · May 2021

Round 150
12 May - 21 May, 2021

Please join us! Starting on 5/2 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 150
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.

Thank you for the new challenge set up, hoping for a more successful one !

@quiltingjaine @GrandmaJackie Many thanks for keeping us going over the years. It's much appreciated.

😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
May focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale

Aims:

2021 Focus:

Maintain weight < 150
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

[/color]
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 ✅ Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
That's a WIN in my book!
2021
Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
(One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

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!

Goals: Notice a difference in muscle tone, and stay consistent on daily exercise. Stay away from sugar.

I would like to join this round. For several months I have been about 10 pounds over my ideal range. Fortunately I have been maintaining but unfortunately it’s not where I want to be and I know I can do better. I need to get back to 1200 calories and hard work!

I would like to join this round too!
I’m brand new to the forums though have used the app a little before.
I have gained 20lbs+ in the last year and I don’t recognise myself anymore. I don’t like to weigh everyday but will post cals/macros each day.

Hi I weigh in kg and also record my happy scale trend. My maintenance goal weight is 52kg although I am happy to be a bit below to allow for indulgences!

Goal for this round is stay below 52kg EW for round 149 = 51.4. Happy scale trend 51.4. It’s my birthday on the 12th and I will indulge but I’ve got the rest of the round to get back on track!

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

Female, 5’3”, 60
2019 SW: 245 BMI 43.4 (1/2/2019) Lost 15 lbs in 2019 then regained 5
2020 SW: 235 BMI 41.6 (1/1/2020) Then back up to 241 before refocusing in Aug
2021 SW: 212 BMI 37.6 (1/1/2021)
GW: <200 in 2020 BMI 35.2
UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese

My goal for 2021 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 64-80 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 (3 AF days per week; ~12 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

Day, Weight, Comment
5/12 - 147.2 - A drop is a drop, even if its only 0.1lbs! This weather we are having is killing me. Unfortunately, big swings in weather (such as storms rolling in and out) cause my injuries to get stiff, swollen, and achy. Particularly my back which causes my legs to either go tingly-numb or ache as well due to the nerve damage and swelling around said nerve. I haven't had a workout since Saturday when we worked the land (trust me, it was a workout). Today should clear up though starting Saturday there's chance of storms for a week straight. I will hopefully get a bit of reprieve and can get a workout in, but for now I'm just focusing on gentle movement and stretching. If the worst of it settles, I'll try some yoga. Don't worry, I'm used to this! It'll pass and I'll have some wonderful days coming soon. Guess it's not April Showers and May Flowers but May Showers and (hopefully) June Flowers! Good news is, my garden is reaping the benefits of it all and I'm still visiting my little outdoor friends. I even have my first cucumber of the season! Next day or two will be ideal for picking it (:
