Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 161

quiltingjaine · August 2021

Round 161
August 30 - September 8, 2021

Please join us starting on 8/30, for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 161!

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.

@cpanus Thank you, Chris! I like early, too!

@ZizzyBumble TOTALLY get you! 💯 %

tamlyn1980 · August 2021

Hi - I’m a relative newbie. I completed round 160 and really appreciate the daily check ins for keeping me on track.

I measure in kg. I’m 161cm tall and at the start of round 160 was at my heaviest at 90.6kg. I’m feeling slow, weak and broken. And tbh, was feeling a little hopeless about getting any better. But made a start last round and now feel like it’s possible. Just focussing on making small lifestyle changes and using weight as one indicator of whether the changes are having an impact. I’m looking forward to round 161.

Round 161 SW: 90.0kg

Goal for this round: track everything. Move more.

Elbee1 · August 2021

Thank you, @quiltingjaine !
4’9” petite-sm. boned female. 59 yrs
Ultimate goal: 98 lbs (subject to change)
SW (starting over--May 24, 2021): 160.3

I started mfp on 2/20/11 at 160.2 lbs.
My lowest weight on mfp was 140 lbs in 11/2013 and 5/2014.
My highest weight ever: 168+ (and I wasn't even pregnant at that time... ) That was in 12/2016.
Just for the record used to be an athlete a long, long time ago. Used to teach Aerobics and Step Aerobics. Used to LOVE exercise.
Nowadays, I don't exercise at all. Why, oh why not? How can I go from loving exercise and doing tons of exercise to nothing at all?
Going from low blood pressure to being on medication for high blood pressure. What have I done to myself?!

Round 151 Lost 3.1 lbs. EW: 157.2
Round 152 EW: 159.6
Round 153 EW 158.6
Round 154 EW 157.8

Round 158 EW 159.2
Round 159 EW 158.8
Round 160 EW 158.4

Round 161 Goals: Go to bed earlier & get up earlier. Drink at least 36 oz of water. “Any loss is a win!”, as @musicsax always posts. I will also add “Any exercise is a win!”

SW 1/1/2016 228.3
Maintenance < 160 monthly average
Preferred main. range < 157.3 (71.5kg)

In maintenance since Sept 2018 😄

Switched walking to the AM

Sleep habits are working - 1 month Aug 21!!
14 day streak!!!!as of Aug 28!!!!!!!!!!🎉

My husband & I measured our heights carefully the other day, and apparently I am now 5’8” not 5’8.5”.
This STILL gives me a BMI under 24.9 because I went lower to make sure I never go over that since it’s the only weight number my docs care about.

But I prefer my BMI in the 23’s.

So my NEW goal is now: “in the 156’s” & definitely no higher than 157.5. (23.9 BMI)

donmhill · August 2021
