5/24 - 145.5 - A weekend full of indulgences and very little water. Back on track today!
5/25 - 146 - I hope this is the end of the weekend bounce. I did well on eating and water yesterday.
5/26 - 145 - Glad to see I'm down a little bit. I've got to watch my eating and activity the next couple days to get ready for the holiday weekend. My extended family has been vaccinated and we'll be having picnics over the weekend to celebrate.
5/27 - 145 - I did pretty well on my eating and movement yesterday.
5/28 - 145 - I was hoping to get back down another pound before tonight, but since that didn't happen I'll have to be mindful tonight for the first of three get togethers. I'll keep a large glass of water with me to sip so I'll avoid grazing on too many goodies and adult beverages.

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.

Happy Saturday to you all!

5/23 - 187.6 - 1388
Yesterday was a weird food day. Started with egg, Asiago-cheddar, Canadian bacon on whole grain English muffins. A friend came over and we sat outside nibbling nuts, dates, and cherries. Then I made grilled ham & cheese with tomato sandwiches for lunch, which I hadn’t planned to feed her so needed something quick. I didn’t feel like dinner, but had some ice cream later. Even so, low calories.

Weird. I expected to be up today. But I’ll take it! We’re finally getting rain today — plants were thirsty! — so I’m figuring house cleaning for exercise. Ick.

5/27 - 188.6 - 1632
Ah, there’s the uptick I expected yesterday. Now to get rid of it! It rained all day yesterday, which was great, we needed it. It’s borderline chilly this morning, but warming up. I’m off for a walk and then to the nursery — need more plants! 😁

5/28 - 188 - 1710
Another day of rain and chill, but all good for the garden.

5/29 - 188 - 1640
Lazy day yesterday with chilly rain. We ordered Thai and I went for the mussaman curry and one skewer of chicken satay, but my overall calories weren’t too bad. Leftover curry today, but that will be my only meal other than breakfast, so I should be able to keep control. It’s still chilly this morning, but no rain, so I’m off to move some plants around and plant some newbies. Have a great Saturday, all!

5/30 - 187.6 - 1721
Thai leftovers yesterday, so I was a bit surprised at the slight drop, but it’s fine by me! Looks like a gorgeous day coming up. Two of my friends, ages 68 and 74, just completes a 2-week bike ride from here (Fort Wayne, Indiana) to Washington, DC, for the adventure and to raise money for our fabulous city trail system. They’ve been posting daily updates on FB (if you want some inspiration, search Kathies’ Big Adventure on FB and checkout their photos and updates). Anyway, they make me feel like a slug, so I’m determined to spend the rest of the summer getting back to really active.

5/31 - 187.6 - 2502 🤯
Whoa! Over indulged yesterday. Was tired and hungry after about 4 hours of lifting bags of soil and putting it down in new garden bed, planting, weeding.... still, way over the top. But I’m ending the round lower than last round, so at least there’s that. And I realized that if I account for the 4 pounds my scale added when I changed batteries, I’ve actually held pretty steady for 6 months. Not ideal but not an upward trend, either. Onward! See you in R152!

5/31 - 147.9 - A MUCH NEEDED day at the lake. 2.5 weeks of rain and starting tonight, another 9 days forecast of storms. I wanted some mother nature and some swim time (: Of course, swimming around, I didn't drink a ton of water like I should've but it was a pain to get in and out of the lake to get to my water. Also, had Chinese food for dinner because that was my first real exposure to summer sun and it wooooore me out. Didn't eat a ton (under estimated calories) but the salt combined with not a lot of water didn't help, I'm sure). At least I was smart and applied a TON of sunscreen and didn't get burned! Yippee. Today we are doing "Linner" of ribs, remembering our brothers and sisters who never made it home, and relaxing. I'll be attempting an OMAD there since my 16 hour fast ends at 1230 (so it'll be more like an 18-19 hour fast, I think? But I'll probably just eat that one meal) and I'll be focusing on water otherwise.

Previous Day's Comments

5/22 - Expected with a late dinner, not a big deal. Fasted 15.5 hours, 60oz water. Not ideal. Behind on water today as well since we went out to the land trying to beat the rain (didn't work, starting downpouring as soon as we made it out there). Hoping catch up on that, though may not be able to hit the full 90 today. Also had McDonald's for lunch since I hadn't eaten yet and it was a bit of a rush to get out the door once BF was up and moving and didn't want to waste precious time cooking. His idea, but I WAS hungry. Oh well, dinner is steak and figuring out sides between us now (I'm definitely making veggies).
5/23 - Sodium? BF made homemade beef lo mein and although I bought the low sodium stuff, who knows how much salt he added. Didn't taste salty at all. Suppose it could be DOMS, too. I'm feeling super sore in glutes and hammies. Was over calories by 200, but still in slight deficit. Fasted 17.5 hours, ended up drinking the full 90oz after all.
5/24 - I'm actually shocked by this. Ended up eating out yesterday for lunch since we were searching for a part in the next town over. Put me way over calories and only ended up having a snack for dinner. I wasn't too hungry anyway. Fasted 15.5 hours, drank 90oz water.
5/25 - I'm alright with slow, so long as it keeps going down.... Only fasted 14.5 hours, but I was very hungry. Considering I only had a "snack" for dinner the night before, it makes perfect sense and I was alright with cutting my fast short. Today will be better since dinner was so early. Homemade chicken alfredo with homemade garlic bread (well, I bought the bread, but made it into garlic bread.... Didn't have time to make my own bread). 90 oz water down the hatch! Today is supposed to be cloudy, but no rain so I'm going to try to take the pup for a walk later.
5/26 - I feel about 10lbs lighter and look better now that bloating is gone, but the scale doesn't budge much. Oh well. I'm more worried about how I look and feel I suppose. Fasted 17 hours, drank 95oz water, and under calories. Did my kickboxing workout, a mini booty blaster, and then took the pup for a very short lunch walk (it was hot out and stuck to the shade for her paws which limited my available distance). Don't feel overly sore, but doesn't mean I don't have some water retention in my muscles contributing to weight.
5/27 - I might've deserved a gain, but that big of a gain kind of hurts. Fasted 16.75 hours, drank 90 oz water. Going for a workout. My legs are super sore today (from Tuesday) so not sure if I should go for my kickboxing again or do some yoga.
5/28 - That's better! Fasted 18 hours, drank 90 oz water. Right on calorie goal before exercise according to both Fitbit and MFP trackers. I did do some a YWA yoga stretch for my legs. Still a tad sore, but way better now. Had a couple beers later in the evening so my fasting window is pushed out. Going to try to push to 16 hours, but listening to my body. May be going to the lake Sunday if weather holds up for it. I was hoping to be in better shape and feeling a tad more confident in my progress by now but, hey, the journey isn't linear. Today's weight made me feel better that I can push through this and continue getting healthier
5/29 - Went out to eat to get out of the house before this rainy weekend and found a steak special. Wowza, best steak I've had in quite awhile. Stayed under calories, but it was heavy so I'm quite content that I didn't gain anything from that. Bloating seems to have gone down a tad, too. Did end up fasting 16 hours, drank about 95oz water. Took pup for a walk and knocked out 50 lunges (25 each leg) just to get some more blood flowing through them after sitting a good part of the day. It's really rainy and windy right now so not sure of plans today besides staying dry. Poor garden getting pummeled so I'll have work to do when rain lets up.
5/30 - Crawfish festival and DEVOURED some crawfish and had a couple beers. I definitely expected to be up but it seems my morning efforts to offset the evening worked well enough! Fasted 19 hours and drank 90oz water. Did 1000 jump ropes in morning, too. Think the plan is to go to the lake today, but I'm not sure if we are still doing that, though. BF isn't up yet to decide haha!

Thanks to Molly and Grandma Jackie for introducing me to this challenge. I appreciate how everyone is dedicated to self improvement and support.

Two goals this round:
- Weight loss of 2 lbs
- Five hard workouts with hard defined as a burn of 500 calories or more in an hour

SW: 169.0 lbs

5/25 166.6 lbs
I've been gone about ten rounds I think. It took me awhile to find you folks again but I'm trying to get back here as often as possible.
I've reset my start weight to the beginning of 2021 after seeing how stagnant I've been over the last few years. Actual YEARS of no real progress is simply shameful.
My mini goals NEED to include scale victories. Everything else goes hand in hand with the scale.
5/26 166.6lbs
I began the day just fine but blew everything with a fast food delivery dinner. I ate too much of the wrong stuff. Screwing myself over after ensuring I have only the right stuff on hand is becoming a trend with me.
This is what happens when I don't meal prep in advance. Cooking daily is not my thing and I haven't prepped well in far too long. However, if I get back to strict protein sparing fast level carbs I'll recover quickly. My goals for this round are still within reach.
It's nice to skim through the thread and see how everyone is doing. Health and nutrition are our common ground but we are whole persons with varied lives first. Many threads forget this.
5/27 168.0 lbs
Gain as expected is the result of my sins over the past two weeks. The delay is my only surprise. Bad behavior usually shows up within a day. Today I WILL do what is right and get myself back on track.
5/28 167.0
Struggled against temptation during the evening hours. I'm stuck in a head game not directly related to diet and exercise. We are whole people which makes it impossible to disconnect seemingly unrelated areas of our lives.
I made it through on the diet side. The usually easy exercise component has been unusually lacking. I will figure this out.

5/29 167.0 lbs
5/30 167.4 lbs
5/31 166.0 lbs

BioMetabolicFluke

By some miracle the scale is down 3lbs but I can't clam success because I did not do the work with intention. I've benefited from a "biometabolic fluke".

😂It's my post so I get to make up words of I want to.🤣

But seriously My 10Day Challenge Peeps, I've been living on points and coupons for take out. Bad eating coupled with asthma, allergy & anti inflammatory meds to temper my allergic reactions is not a formula for success.

I've been skimming everyone's posts and I'm glad to see the "Happy Dances" of success. Virtual pats on the back and virtual air 🤗 hugs everyone.

Exercise is insufficient but I'm moving. Next round I'm do better.

5/10: 183.1 (just 2 pounds off my heaviest weight ever)

Round 151
Goals: 80oz water each day; row 30 mins 7 of 10 days; eat vegetables/fruit; 1200 to 1500 calories; IF most days; no sugar - and if I do all these things, I hope to be back into the 170's!
SW: 181.0

5/22 - 181.4
5/23 - 180.2 - I've been hanging out at 181 for long enough. It was time for a drop. Looks promising to hit 170's this round!
5/24 - 180.0 - The scale was messing with me this morning when it blinked for a second on 179.9, but settled on 180.0 - I'll take it!
5/25 - 179.1 - Goodbye 180's!!
5/26 - 179.1 - Glad this weight stuck around. I'm doing really well rowing, staying within my calorie range (no bingeing!), drinking water, IF and not eating sugar - so happy for all of this. What I'm not doing as well as I could is getting enough vegetables and fruit that I need to be healthy. I WILL do better!
5/27 - 179.2 - I ate more vegetables and fruit yesterday. I made soup and put a ton of veggies in it. It was 90 degrees here in Maine (weird) so that's the day I decide to make soup LOL. It was good though and I had on the air conditioner.
5/28 - DNW
5/29 - 179.2 - Still hanging out at the same weight. I expect a drop any day now (knock on wood). I can't believe I'm still going strong after 19 days!
5/30 - 178.7 - finally a change, and in the right direction!

5/31 - Goal: 179.9 New Goal: Staying in the 170's
179.0 - Jumped back up a little but down 2 pounds for the round AND got out of the 180's!! I am so ready for 152!!

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's

Day/Weight/Comment
5/22 215.2
5/23 214.2
5/24 214.8
5/25 213.4 Happy dance. This is the lowest I've weighed in at least a year!

5/26 215.6 Uh oh. Ate out for lunch and had a late night after dinner treat of a banana and 3 bread thingies that my sis in law made, thinking that I could afford the calories since I was at my year's lowest. Hopefully I'm not going to do that again. I learned my lesson and even felt boated when going to sleep. Back to the straight and narrow.

5/27 213.8 Back to the 213 range after my day of lesson learning! When I lose a pound or two, that is not the time to celebrate with a snack nor eating out mea. I'm actually starting to prefer my own meals. 208 is a mini goal that is within sight for this next month.

5/28 213.2 Ate an unplanned late evening 2 bananas & two pieces of the heel of a loaf of bread w/ peanut butter that I thought might have the scale rising today. Amazingly it went down a bit. Either that or my sis in law's scale is wonkie. Seems like I can step on her scale 3 times in a row and get 3 different weights, so who knows if the numbers I'm posting are accurate.

5/29 212.8
5/30 gone camping
5/31 213.8 Ya' win some, ya' lose some. Didn't think that 212.8 was gonna hold, especially after my grandnephew's 9th birthday party, replete with hotdogs (I did skip the bun) multilayered ice cream cake, etc. At least it was only a pound!

Grand total from 5/22 -3.2 pounds this round.
Grand total 64.2 pounds.
This is a marathon, not a sprint. Another 60 some to go.

Mini goals
-get to 208 the weight I was after my son was born. Would love to get there by the end of May.
-get to 202 to be Overweight by BMI standards-would love to see 11.2 gone this summer.

long term goals
-44.8 to get to the top of normal BMI range
-68.8 to get to the mid range of normal BMI range...almost 1/2 way there!

Day/Weight/Comment
05/21 …..209.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
05/22 …..209.6 ….. Good luck everyone one this round. Let’s make it a beautiful one!

05/23 …..210.8 ….. Banana nut bread with choco chips. I went back for another piece last night. The carbs really need to go but I just don’t know how to swing that with my daughter and DGS here. I’ve got to get this figured out and get moving on something before my next doctor appointment or I’ll be put on insulin shots! I’ve got to let that be my inspiration right now!

05/24 …..210.8 ….. Little to no movement due to my schedule yesterday. Eating……so-so. Traveling today so dinner will be out.

05/25 …..209.8 ….. Kept the lunch light yesterday while out of town. I had a very light dinner. I also slept over 5 hours last night (which is good for me). I think all of this helped.

05/26 …..208.6 ….. I’m very pleased to be down 1.2 but I honestly don’t know how it happened. My meals were actually low cal and on the low carb side with good ingredient choices. But there was that dessert my daughter brought in from the little bakery north of town. The choices are always mine. It wasn’t a good one. I was up all night sick to my stomach from the extreme sugar content of it (all). Lesson learned. But I’ll take the 1.2 pound loss !

05/27 …..207.2 ….. Another very light dinner. Very little movement. I’ll try to get in more movement today. The steps should be higher naturally because I am babysitting my DGS while my daughter is at work.

05/28 …..207.0 ….. Good meals, bad snacks. I’ve got to make a better plan when hunger strikes swiftly and strongly. Glad to see a drop on the scale again, however. The carefully planned lunch and dinner portions made the difference.

05/29 …..205.6 ….. Still going strong on good meal planning. Still a bit weak on snack choices. Overall, my carbs and calories are lower and my meals thoughtful to my goal. The scale is rewarding me for my efforts. I’ll try for more movement today. Pizza tonight with my girls being brought in from out of town. A special treat for an early Memorial Day celebration as they have other plans on the actual holiday. I’m going to fast today and plan my nighttime snacks better to allow for the pizza. I hope it doesn’t do too much damage.

05/30 …..205.4 ….. Another slight drop on the scale and in my fat percentages. I had a hard time eating yesterday. I kept thinking the pizza was raw (when it wasn’t) and it gagged me. Spit in napkin and unable to finishing eating dinner. Last night I had half a cup of cottage cheese and a small cup of tomato juice. I was satisfied. Very low calorie day. Moderate exercise.

05/31 …..206.4 ….. Great snack planning finally, but hungry last night when I didn’t fill up on snacks so I ate a bowl of canned soup with crackers. The uptick may be sodium? Happy to be back down this round with a 3.2 lb loss overall. Now for some serious progress next round! See you all there!

5/29 - 177.2
5/30 - 178.6
5/31 - 179.4 - Again, not worried. This is probably still water retention from the past 2 days. My average weight for this 10 day challenge was 177.5 which I will take as a win. I started my morning with my first spin class in person in 14 months and it was amazing to be back. I will meal plan for the rest of the week and since there are no holidays next weekend, the next 10 day average should be even better.

Good job everyone!

@Kirk_mfp (feel free to add me!)
40s male, 6'0"
SW: 300.2 pounds
GW: 210.0 pounds

My approach: Move and lift more, keep track of my food, and drink lots of water.

5/22: 300.2 - Newbie here. And holy cow, this is the heaviest I've ever been. Not only have I gained unnecessary weight, but I haven't been accomplishing things inside and outside the home like I have in the past. The garage is turning into a disaster, dishes piling up, etc. Today is the day I turn around and actively update the foods I eat and the exercises I do. My favorite quote for the day: “Most things in life are not so difficult. You just have to work to keep them simple. If you’re truly determined, there is no limit to what you can accomplish.”
5/23: 298.6 - Down 1.6 pounds. Water weight for sure but I'll take any win. I stuck with eating veggies, chicken, and some other meats. I was craving something sugary and carby around 6pm and I must admit, it was a struggle. I was able to do a lot of things around the house like install shower doors and clean throughout the house, just like I was hoping. Things are looking positive and I'm excited for that.
5/24: 296.0 - Down 2.6 pounds. I'm still going strong as far as eating low carbs and sticking with meat and salad. I did get the chills in the middle of the night for a few hours and wonder if that's having to do with sugar with-drawls (the keto flu). Also I'm taking a gout pill here and there, just in case my body feels that protein shock. Gout in the foot is no fun for sure. Well, it's another work week and I plan on sipping on unsweetened almond milk throughout each day and then having a good dinner.
5/25: 295.0 - Down 1.0 pound. Another work day completed at the office. Lots of water had been consumed, lots of good healthy foods too. That was the first evening I haven't felt like chowing down on chips. I haven't exercised yet but maybe that'll wait. We'll see. My focus is on "calories in" right now.
5/26: 293.2 - Down 1.8 pounds. I'm so glad to have this community for my accountability. Seriously, I enjoy reading your inspiring stories and it helps me greatly. Yesterday was more healthy eating and I feel like I'm getting my energy back even though I'm hungry most of the time.
5/27: 291.6 - Down 1.6 pounds. I didn't do many physical activities, but just stayed under-calories. I'm still eating chicken, beef, and veggies. I need to focus on drinking more water today.
5/28: 291.2 - Down 0.4 pounds. I may be to the point if I keep at it, I will lose 1/2 pound a day. I have one last work day ahead of me and then I'll be doing a little vacationing near Seattle. The good thing is I'll be doing lots of walking and hopefully eating moderately. I won't let this weekend ruin me.
5/29: 290.0 - Down 1.2 pounds. Clean eating and feeling pretty good. I'm still not exercising but I think getting control of my food is Step 1. I'm going to try to get 10,000 step every day on vacation this weekend.
5/30: 291.4 - Up 1.4 pounds. On vacation but ate one large meal and the rest of the meals only with an avocado. I'm doing a lot of walking too, so I'm not too concerned about the uptick.
5/31: 293.4 - Up 2.0 pounds. I think I gained all the water weight back. I've finished my vacation and I'm looking forward to starting the next 10 days!

Round 1 Result: 300.2 to 293.4 pounds, 6.8 total lost.

OSW: Sept. ‘18. 187
R150 Goals-168 limit alcohol, lots of water. Thank you @quiltingjaine for setting up the round!

5/22-168-Lots of weed eating and digging in the yard. More digging today; I’m getting flower beds ready to plant.
**********Happy Saturday everyone!!!🌸☕️*************
5/23-167-More digging in the yard. Helped DH clean out a trench. Later I met with my card club and I kept getting leg craps and had to stand up; it was funny..all from yard work. I sprouted a bunch of flower seeds this spring and will get to transplant them into my pollinator garden in front of my sewing room windows today!
5/24-DNW-After church, we ate breakfast out for the first time in ages. Got 80% of the seedlings transplanted. Will plant the rest today and do some weed eating and more digging to prep the other flower beds ready.
5/25-169-Heavy food. Lots of yard work.
5/26-DNW-Bad food choices yesterday. Today will be better.
5/27-172- Ugh.
5/28-171-Lots of digging in the yard. Need to make time for exercise.

Not able to finish up this round right now, because not home, but will catch it up & start the next one when we get home.

@quiltingjaine ..I had to laugh at your post about where relatives were going...we live by Des Moines & right now we are close to Tulsa at daughters.

prehistoricmoongoddess · June 2021

I'm going to keep weighing daily but not record it at the moment..I've lost my way a bit and going to concentrate on recording weekly losses for a while.
