Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 152

fmfdfa2020 · June 2021

Thanks @quiltingjaine

5/10: 183.1 - 2 pounds off my heaviest weight ever - (stopped posting on this challenge July 2020 - very glad to be back!)

Round 152
Goals: 80oz water; row 30 mins most days; dance to a different song each day to burn calories and also because music makes me so happy 🎵 🎵 🎵; eat vegetables/fruit; 1200 to 1500 calories; IF most days; no sugar
SW: 179.0

Whatever your goals, I wish everyone a successful round!

Previous days' posts

6/1 - 178.7 - Good way to start! Going to row. Soon I'll be on the water in my kayak but today it's in my basement on my waterrower - if I close my eyes, it sounds like you're on the water.

6/2 - 178.0 - Down 5 pounds! I need to learn from my past where I slowly slide back into old habits and gain that 5 pounds back again:
No sugar - my cravings have subsided so much. I'm better able to control myself when those moments happen that make me want to binge. Also, I won't fool myself as I've done in the past that I have more "willpower" now and can handle it. I have more willpower because it's a physical thing with not eating sugar. I've fallen for that too many times and after one day, I'm off on a month-long binge.
Water - drinking water really does help you to stay full or maybe it's also that I'm not really hungry but thirsty. I was going around so dehydrated.
And lastly, Milk - I was drinking my calories. I love milk but also think it was my way of making up for not having sugar. I've stopped it for now too because I have really bad eczema and hoping it may be part of the cause.
Second lastly

celebrate all the small changes instead of focusing on my long-term goal, whatever that really ends up being.
Oh man, I could keep going but I'll stop!

6/1 - 178.7
6/2 - 178.0
6/3 - 178.0
6/4 - 177.5 Great to see but I weighed a little later this morning than normal so may be off. We'll see over the next few days.

Round 152 Goal -233 lbs
Round 152 Day/Weight/Comment

6/1 236.8; morning blood sugar 134. not terrible after the holiday cookout. Indulging in my wife's strawberry cheesecake was not a great diet choice but a politically astute one.
6/2 236.0; morning blood sugar 130. I need to get out and walk before the weather turns this afternoon.
6/3 232.8; NOPE. Not believing it, do not get excited. I did nothing that would produce a "woosh" so I am calling this a random scale error until I see it for a few days. morning blood sugar 137.

6/4 235.2; as I suspected, the scale pixies were messing with me yesterday.... still I like the trend. MBS 134

@tffanynbowen89 - @fmfdfa2020 covered most of the really good points about eating higher calorie foods, but I wanted to add something @quiltingjaine mentioned a while ago that really stuck with me. It is OK to throw away food. For example, yesterday I had to bring in some donuts for a co-worker's birthday. I love donuts, but I know how many calories and carbs are in them and I didn't want to mess up the rest of my day. I took one and ate the best part to me which is the top half with the frosting. I wrapped up most of the cake part and threw it away. I really enjoyed that donut for half the calories and carbs. Generally, I use smaller plates and bowls to limit my consumption, but if I'm served more than I really need I figure the food will leave the building through the trash or sewage, but I'm better off if it is in the trash.

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!

@TerriRichardson112 Congratulations on the new Decade. You've been steadily crushing it!

Day/Weight/Comment
05/31 …..206.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
06/01 …..205.6 ….. Light meals yesterday. Low snacks. A day of success. A nice start for me and so many others!

06/02 …..203.0 ….. Woo Hoo! Lowest weight in a very long time. Good meal planning yesterday and no night time snack. Today my daughter is bring a Thai dinner home for me. Dinner will be late (about 9:00 pm). I will split it in half and have the other half tomorrow. I will eat a very light (late) lunch today, continue a morning fast and push water in anticipation of the sodium. I don’t want to undo what showed up on the scale this morning!

06/03 …..203.2 ….. No Thai food afterall because out-of-town restaurant was temporarily closed. Daughter ended up bringing home Taco Bell and dinner was late at 10:00 pm. No TMI today so I call the small uptick a gut issue. I am thrilled to still be around 203. I’m calling it a whoosh since it does seem to be sticking around.

06/04 …..203.0 ….. I was hoping to dip my toes into the 202’s but I’ll gladly take the TMI that led to a dip back down from yesterday. A perfect eating day yesterday with carefully planned meals and no snacks. I went to bed a bit hungry (was that in my actual tummy or just in my head???). Salmon tonight with a horseradish sauce concoction is in the plan accompanied by some sweet potato (watch the toppings Donna!) . Come on 202’s…….

06/05 …..xxxxx …..

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

6/01: 293.0 - I'm so ready for my Round 2. No more long weekends and now I can focus on eating low calorie/carb breakfast and lunch, and eating a wholesome dinner. Thank you for the support here, friends.
6/02: 291.8 - Down 1.2 pounds. I was actually worried because I ate waaay too much beef jerky last night. I should have cooked up a chicken breast instead. I'm still tracking my food and gotten back into the snacking mode from the weekend. Today I will strong.
6/03: 290.6 - Down 1.2 pounds. Foods I ate the day before: chicken breast, mozzarella cheese, some mixed nuts, cordon bleu, some basmati rice, some channa masala. I'm pretty happy with what I'm doing, and the food isn't that bad either. Also I've learned that Diet Dr Pepper makes my face breakout now. I must have an allergy of some roots and spices in it.
6/04: 289.0 - Down 1.6 pounds. I'm on a roll and I'm super excited to see me survive 1 1/2 Rounds so far.

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 152 (round 84 for me ) I continue to prove time after time that I need this to help me keep on track! Thank you @QuiltingJaine for setting up the new challenge.

Female age 63 5' 4” - I went AWOL the last 3 days! We went away for the Bank Holiday weekend, I didn't take the scales, didn't log and didn't even visit MFP, but I was careful with what I ate, admittedly I had a few extra “goodies” mainly in the adult beverage dept. but did lots of walking up hill and down dale as well at times. My challenge for this round is to lose 2 pounds which will put me back on the road towards mainteneance. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Keep calm – we're all in this together! Wash hands, be kind, continue to follow all latest Government guidelines in roadmap to normality for C-19 virus. Be positive for thefuture – I've both of my vaccines.

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Main goal(s) - 1. Count calories even when with partner/at social events, even if it’s not perfect an estimate is better than nothing! 2. Don’t allow a little slip up or not being able to track properly to derail me 3. Anything can be worked into your daily calorie goal 4. Use this challenge to identify problem habits/patterns and change them 5. Sacrifices now equal results later

6/1 - 162.2 - happy

6/2 - 161.0 - determined to keep this progress this time! Each round I seem to make good progress and then go right back to where I started, only to spend the next round getting back to where I was. This challenge has made that abundantly clear. Need to put more effort into making better choices, especially when eating out.
6/3 - 160.0 - great

first day off but still woke up quite early, but also slept a lot during the day, I’ve been tired!
6/4 - 160.8 - little bit up but that’s okay, went a little over my calories yesterday
6/5 - 160.2 - pleased with this, today’s the day I go for lunch with my partners family but I feel much more prepared than on other occasions. I’ve pre-picked what I’m going to order and I’m confident about the calories. I won’t be able to weigh tomorrow but watch this space!

Previous days

6/1 116.0 Happy with this number and looking forward to seeing where it goes from here. Started the day with a 2 mile run and then a 2 mile walk on my munch. The dinner I made last night was kind of a fail, I attempted a curried butternut squash soup and then roasted Bratwurst on the side as the protein. The soup was a fail. I pushed through it but my husband couldn’t, so he ended up with chicken steamed pot stickers from Trader Joes and some of the Bratwurst. Tonight’s dinner will be sauteed chicken tenderloins with basic spices, brown rice and mashed turnip (I have CSA turnip to cook so the rice is for my husband in case he’s not a fan of the turnip). Breakfast today was an egg, 100 gms of the Bratwurst, sauteed spinach and toast with cream cheese. It was solid and very filling. My snack were strawberries and grapes plus a sliced up cucumber with Everything But the Elote seasoning from TJ’s. Have a good night!
6/2 checked in from mobile.

6/3 115.2 Did not post but was very excited about this number. (Did a 2 mile run in the morning and a super short walk during the day.)
6/4 115.6 Did not post but was cool with this.(20 minute spin bike workout and only a mile walk during a work break.)
6/5 Did not weigh this morning but everything was good foodwise yesterday. For an easy dinner, I ordered out from B. Good and got a Chipotle chicken breast sandwich for around 600 calories and tried their eggplant ball things with hummus. Having that for dinner put me right at maintenance level which was a good treat after being in a deficit all week. I have a lot on my agenda for today and designing a strength training program for myself is one of them. I also have to blanch and then freeze a bunch of spinach we have from the CSA. We have 5 8 oz bags of it in the fridge and I’ve eaten so much over the past month or so. I’m so sick of the fuzzy weird feeling your teeth get from the oxalic acid in it, that I just need a break from it. Have a good day all!

Ps. A breakthrough has been made with my husband…after him working in a rehab hospital for almost 3 months and seeing the lifelong effects of a poor diet on essentially all of his patients, he’s truly decided to continue eating healthy and eat less of the unhealthy foods he was leaning to when he's stressed! He also watched a Youtube video explaining how the brain creates new neuro-pathways when you eat an unhealthy meal (think high in unhealthy fats, salt, and sugar meal). Then, after eating that unhealthy meal, it causes you to want more unhealthy/binge-type foods. If you hadn't had that unhealthy meal in the first place, those pathways wouldn't have been created. So, he has decided to limit the amount of not the greatest takeout he gets.

I will eat a very light (late) lunch today, continue a morning fast and push water in anticipation of the sodium. I don’t want to undo what showed up on the scale this morning!

06/03 …..203.2 ….. No Thai food afterall because out-of-town restaurant was temporarily closed. Daughter ended up bringing home Taco Bell and dinner was late at 10:00 pm. No TMI today so I call the small uptick a gut issue. I am thrilled to still be around 203. I’m calling it a whoosh since it does seem to be sticking around.

06/04 …..203.0 ….. I was hoping to dip my toes into the 202’s but I’ll gladly take the TMI that led to a dip back down from yesterday. A perfect eating day yesterday with carefully planned meals and no snacks. I went to bed a bit hungry (was that in my actual tummy or just in my head???). Salmon tonight with a horseradish sauce concoction is in the plan accompanied by some sweet potato (watch the toppings Donna!) . Come on 202’s…….

You have been doing fantastic and I want to give you kudos! It's so hard when you have someone who loves you bringing you food that isn't healthy but you managed to have a tough conversation with her instead of just letting her gifts continue to happen (I think a round or two ago you mentioned it). So that is awesome! I wish for you to have continued success!
