Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 160

@trice316 Hang in there. It's all about consistency. I've found the forums here to be so inspiring when I get a bit discouraged. Look at the success stories with pictures and What No One Told me About Losing Weight. Even when I eat over my calorie goals, I log everything. It's really helped me see the impact on my progress and I can continue to make small adjustments. The accuracy of MFP is based on me and what I enter into the program. I also have an Apple Watch, but any fitness tracker can help you check out how much you are moving.

8/20 DNW - On vacation - still tracking and trying to stay under maintenance calorie levels. Lots of walking and good fun.
8/21 DNW - We’ve been hiking, but not exercising at my usual intensity. I’m really going to be interested to see how I’ve managed without a scale to keep me on track. I won’t be weighing in until Tuesday.
8/22 DNW - Still on vacation. I had my indulgence meal yesterday. Today we are kayaking. I’m really looking forward to it!
8/23 DNW - Final day of vacation. I’ll be weighing in tomorrow. Overall, my eating has been pretty good…under maintenance levels for most days. Keeping my fingers crossed. We have been walking and hiking. Kayaking was cancelled due to high water levels.
8/24 235.6 (-1.4) I’m thrilled to be down almost a pound and a half after visiting my son and being off my usual routine. Hiking every day, limited eating out and logging most meals was really helpful. My son was really encouraging me to stay on track and was happy making meal decisions based on what I needed. It's great to have such wonderful support.
8/25 235 (-2.0) Yay! Officially down 10% of my body weight. The pool where I was swimming closed for the season and hours are really limited at other pools so I need to reevaluate and adapt my exercise plan. My local indoor pool opens in late September. I’ve really enjoyed swimming and want to continue. Until then, it might be Orange Theory Fitness and hiking on the weekends, pending weather.10 -

@coblujay Where do you live that the pool closes in August? I realize we are from all over the world, it just struck me as odd. 🤷♀️1

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.

8/20 DNW Dinner yesterday (my only meal) didn’t happen until about 9PM, steak, broccoli at Outback. Today chef’s salad for lunch and pizza, pasta and breadsticks for dinner. Ate topping from 3 slices and 1/2 breadstick and iceberg salad.

8/22 DNW Retreat ends at noon today.
8/23 119.5 it will be fine. Part of that was no TMI for 3 days, part lousy food availablity. Day 1684 on MFP
8/24 118.5 Lunch with the neighbor ladies at Cracker Barrel. We had planned to eat about 1:30 at Texas Roadhouse but arrived to learn they have changed their hours and didn’t open until 3. I’ve been having foot cramps so I sucked on salt last night. Wish I had taken it on retreat!
8/25 118.5 steak, broccoli and spinach last night at home.7 -
@quiltingjaine Not all of our pools are open since COVID, but they opened the outdoor pools this summer. They all close after Labor Day, but have really cut back on the hours since school started a few weeks ago. I'm in Colorado, so it starts cooling off in the fall and snowing in the winter. The weather is still nice enough for them to be open, but I think staffing has been an issue and most of the staff are college students and are back at school too. I'll check out the indoor pools and see if there are options there. I don't want to miss out on an exercise I really enjoy.6

Round 160 – Aug 20 - Aug 29
I started at 173 in July, reduced calories which forced smarter choices and getting some exercise.
Goal for these 10 days, lose 1-2 pounds and get better at drinking water.
Day/Weight/Comment
8/20 - 168 lb /
8/21 - 166 lb/ retaining water yesterday faulty scale, not sure. I did drink water but not as much as I should have, will try to be better today!
8/22 - 166lb/did better at drinking water
8/23 - 166lb
8/24 - 166lb
8/25 - 166lb/I didnt have a scale before I joined MFP, I just went by how my clothes fit. I got the scale as that is how everything was calculated and measured with the app. I seem to move around 166.3 one day, 165.5 the next. For now I am rounding to the nearest pound as either my scale is faulty or I am as that seems like a lot of fluctuation!. I have been drinking a ridiculous amount of water (for me) so that is a plus this week!9 -

Day/Weight/Comment
08/19 …..187.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
08/20 …..186.6 ….. (trend weight 189.6) My new low since before Covid. I’m dreaming of the 170’s. It may be awhile but it is within reach before Christmas if I stay committed and on track! Wishing everyone the very best of luck and circumstances this round. Let’s do this!
08/21 …..186.8 ….. (trend weight 189.3) My renovation handmen were here until late (9:30 pm). One helped prime my well pump and it’s still working this morning! Hopeful! I didn’t get in the walks I wanted and my dinner was very late and eaten in bed. Frozen pizza filled with sodium so I am happy the scale isn’t going crazy on me this morning. I finally settled in at about 11:30 pm to an Episode of Columbo which is one of my greatest pleasures. I had a heckofaday (with water problems and drywall dust) and deserved all two hours of it! Today I have pulled pork going in the crock pot to share with the workers.
08/22 …..185.4 ….. (trend weight 188.9) That’s better! Ended up having dessert last night which was unnecessary really. A double whammy – A little too much and totally of the wrong thing but the scale was still kind to me this morning. It was probably catching up to some good days a few days ago. Today is my DGD’s 1st birthday. She is about 65 miles away so there’s a tad bit of travel and there will be food and cake. I expect an uptick tomorrow but a wonderful day today! I will consider today my higher calorie day to keep my metabolism from dropping. Making it part of my plan instead of against it will help keep me in check in the coming days.
08/23 …..187.4 ….. (trend weight 188.8)The birthday party was fantastic for my DGD turning age 1. So beautiful with lots of things for toddlers to do (trampoline, kiddie pool, castle playing, bouncy house etc). Food was catered and delicious. I didn’t eat much real food yesterday, mostly junk. The cake was so sweet that, even after taking off most of the frosting, my teeth almost fell out. I felt like I died and went to heaven, truthfully. It was the land of milk and honey. Abundance. So…..two pounds later, I am planning an extra good day today. I’ll never forget her birthday celebration, but I will forget these 2 pounds. They will be gone before the end of this round!
08/24 …..187.4 ….. (trend weight 188.6) Still trending down and still below starting weight which is goal met. Yesterday I remained under calorie and with pretty decent macros. However, I didn’t drink enough water and I must have crawled like a snail or a turtle (at best) all day because I got in basically zero extra activity. So I am not surprised by no change on the scale. I will try to some lower carb healthier choices today and see what happens. On a positive note, today was morning 4 with water (and without priming well). Perhaps they’ve finally got the right settings!
08/25 …..187.0 ….. (trend weight 188.5) I am going out of town in a little while unexpectedly. Rain is due and the planned outside project is on hold for the day so it’s a perfect day to go buy the power/pressure washer I need. Lunch will be out, probably Chinese or Thai food. I drink less water when I am away from home, but I’ll try to get in extra tonight and tomorrow to offset the sodium. I do expect a temporary uptick on the scale tomorrow but temporary is the key word here…..
08/26 …..xxxxx ….. (trend weight xxxxx)
08/27 …..xxxxx ….. (trend weight xxxxx)
08/28 …..xxxxx ….. (trend weight xxxxx)
08/29 …..xxxxx ….. (trend weight xxxxx)

8/23 199.3 Well I had Chinese food on Friday night and apparently it stayed with me a bit. I realize that I haven’t logged food last week at all. So that is my weekly goal to log all food all week. Including the Oreo cookie (apple cider donut) that someone just brought over to my desk. Food does not equal comfort, food does not equal comfort…my new chant…
8/24 200.9 My clothes are starting to seem really tight. Even when I am working out lately, my heart isn’t in it anymore. When I go to Zumba class on Saturday, I have to really concentrate to stay in the moment. I know that right now I am going through some form of PTSD and trying very hard not to fall into depression but I am struggling. Can stress make everything you eat just stay with you? I thought I did pretty well yesterday but when I put in all my numbers, very high sodium, high fat, high sugar 2234 calories. Well there’s my answer. It felt like a regular day though. I felt like I was being good but upon review, I really wasn’t.
8/25 200.3 1990 calories better but still higher than it should. High sodium, high sugar.

8/20--210.3 Went to see my trainer yesterday. Today I took the day off from work and I am going to do some things around the house and then go for a massage.
8/21--209.4 Back to my pre-getaway weight from 2 weeks ago. Plan for today is to go for a hike with hubby and the dog, but it may rain this morning so plans may change.
8/22--209.6 Went out for a great hike yesterday. It was puppy's hardest hike and she did great. I am definitely sore today and did not have enough water, so I am not surprised of the uptick today and will probably have another uptick tomorrow. Today is trainer day and I plan on getting in enough water.
8/23--210.9
8/24--210.7
8/25--211.6 Water retention due to excess carbs yesterday. Went out for a long walk with the dog today.

8/21 - Didn't follow thru with my planned meals, went overboard after dinner. Dam that peach pie & ice cream!!
8/22 - 196.0 - Making a plan is one thing... sticking with it is a completely different thing:/
8/23 - 194.8 - Good food choices yesterday but drank too many calories. Lots of exercise paid off though:)
8/24 - 195.2 - Good food, busy but not enough exercise, also should have skipped the hershey bar:/

@Trice316, yeah that MFP 5 weeks weight notice. It's true, but your macros and water intake have to be exactly the same everyday. Calories burned too. I tested it 2 years ago. Also, I don't think MFP is anyone's pal. Lol.6

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ Round 160 (round 92 for me ) as always, I need this to help keep me on track!
@QuiltingJaine- thank you yet again for setting up the new challenge.
Challenge for this round is to continue yet again to work back towards maintenance – any loss will be a win! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.
Covid restrictions have mostly been lifted in England – we have reached “freedom day”, but remember there is still a pandemic, continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in crowded indoor settings, always consider others.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.

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
8/20 203.0 Walked 4 miles, Bike 30 min, 1590 cal, 76 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Cooking class with friends where we made Fruit Empanadas, Paella Mixta, Tortilla Española. Exercised and fasted through breakfast but obviously not enough. Expected bump up after 4 evenings in a row eating at restaurants with friends. Gearing up for damage control and not let this be an excuse to continue to backslide.
8/21 204.6 Walked 4 miles, Swam 500m + treaded water 12 min, 2003 cal, 110 net carbs, 3 glasses wine, >100 oz water. Great exercise day but snacked on way to many nuts, fries at lunch & rice at dinner. But wow the continued rise in the scale is worrying me!
8/22 203.6 Walked 4.5 + .5 miles, 1568 cal, 71 net carbs, AF. Planning fall road trip and kitchen remodel.
8/23 203.5 Walked 3.2 + 1 miles, 1521 cal, 110 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Lazy day.
8/24 203.7 Walked 3 miles, Strength Class 1 hr, 1656 cal, 156 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Cousin came in from Florida and we went to my sister’s for crawfish étouffée and wine … but I insisted on going to my exercise class before meeting up with them.
No swimming laps for a couple of weeks since they closed the olympic size lap pool for maintenance.
Thinking about signing up for twice per week strength classes in September to prep for hiking plans in Oct. The lunge part of the routine has made me much better at going up and down steps at home.
8/25 201.9 Walked 2.4 miles, 1255 cal, 117 net carbs, AF. Walked first thing in the morning, breakfast, donated blood & cleaned out a few kitchen cabinets … all before lunch! Then yard work and more cabinets in the afternoon.
8/26 203.1 Walked 3.6 +1 miles, gardening, 1794 cal, 143 net carbs, AF. Errand day in the afternoon … library, dry cleaners, groceries, gas, and tried on tons of bras until I found my new favorite.

@christycampbell1256
"8/25 - 166lb/I didnt have a scale before I joined MFP, I just went by how my clothes fit. I got the scale as that is how everything was calculated and measured with the app. I seem to move around 166.3 one day, 165.5 the next. For now I am rounding to the nearest pound as either my scale is faulty or I am as that seems like a lot of fluctuation!. I have been drinking a ridiculous amount of water (for me) so that is a plus this week!"
Weight fluctuations will vary a lot from day to day. It’s the trend that determines which way you are going. Keep your eye on the longer term goal and best of luck on the journey.

8/24 - 148.5 - Wow, I didn't see that coming. Back in the office after a long weekend so I'm hoping some extra water will help. We find out if my husband's chemo/BCG treatments worked on his cancer this Friday, so I need to stay mindful and not stress snack this week.
8/25 - 146.5 - Drank plenty of water and I'm hoping this sticks tomorrow. I'm also trying to keep up with my food diary.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/20 - 248.9 Today marks the 4 month anniversary of me starting this journey. I had hoped to be lower after seeing 246 on the scale earlier this week but my body had other plans. Still being down 50 lbs in 4 months is nothing to be upset about.
8/21 - 248.7
8/22 - 245.8
8/23 - 244.9 The usual weekend fall strikes again! Sometimes I wish I had a manual labor job so that I could get calorie burns from work rather than just sitting at a desk all day. I spread 1/2 ton of top soil and then mowed the lawn after. Last year I couldn't mow my entire lawn at one time, now I'm doing it after doing other work. I'm also starting to really feel more comfortable with my body. Still a long way to go but I'm not embarrassed to go places anymore and I'm excited to have nicer clothes!
8/24 - 246.0 Just how Mondays are always low, Tuesdays and the rest of the week are always high. Sitting around at work all day really takes its toll I guess. This was pretty disappointing to be honest. I just want to be out of the 240s and I keep bouncing around here.
8/25 - 246.5 Yeah this trend is really annoying. Looking back at last week, I'm down 2.5 lbs but I have no idea how I'm going up during the week. I'm doing everything right and the scale just doesn't cooperate. I know not to put much stock in the number on the scale but psychologically it's not the best start to the day when I know I've done everything right.
8/26 - 244.1 So I don't know what caused this but I guess I was storing a lot of water. I had to go to the bathroom every hour for 6 straight hours yesterday. That on top of running 4 miles since my last weigh in made this possible. Feeling a lot happier today because of this # now I just need consistency tomorrow!

May 10, 2021 - 183.1 - just 2.9 pounds off 186, my heaviest weight ever - (stopped posting on this challenge July 2020 - very glad to be back!)
Next short-term goal: 162.X

SW: 167.1

8/22: 167.0
8/23: DNW
8/24: 166.9
8/25: 166.7 - 80 oz water past 2 days. It seems to be easier to get 80oz down. All carbs were from vegetables, which is the case most days since I've stopped wheat products for now.
8/26: 165.9 - Another good drop. This calorie cycling is working for me. After my high day (1840), I've been tracking my average calories and now back to around an average of 1250. I have a problem with bingeing, and eating more just one day can throw me off for days where I continue to eat more and more as if I blew it, which of course isn't the case, but it's mind games. By having higher "controlled" calorie days where I counter it (and track it) the other days and see my average calories going down really helps - that and choosing wisely and not a lot of carbs or sugar, which will set me off on a week/month binge. Eventually, I won't have to track it, but for now, it helps me.

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
If I quit now, I'll soon be back where I started. And when I started, I so desperately wanted to be where I am now!
There is no going back! NOT THIS TIME!12
