JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ Round 162 (94th for me) . I really need this to help keep me on track, particularly over the next 2 weeks!
@QuiltingJaine- thank you yet again for setting up the new round.

Challenge for this round is to stay on track – Friday we are off for our main 2 weeks holiday, no flying abroad this year (due to Covid), we shall be taking our touring caravan, so for the major part I will be responsible for both choosing & providng food, so hope to come back at least the same as today, a loss will be a bonus – any loss will be a win! But still aware we shall be on holiday so will be indulging in an occasional treat – note to self “an occasional treat” !! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Covid restrictions have mostly been lifted in England – we reached “freedom day” 2 months ago, but remember there is still a pandemic: Covid is still around! Continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in public 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/Comment
9/9 134.8 – 10 miles walked yesterday. I failed the iron test when I went to give blood; one more point down & I would have been referred to my GP, I feel I do have a balanced diet with sufficient iron (MFP shows that too!), I went on a bit of a chocolate feast when I got home Why ??!! So plans to increase iron in diet now in hand.

Dark chocolate is a good source of iron I've heard of people using this cute tool to increase the iron in their diet- https://luckyironfish.com/

Thanks for that thought, I don't actually like dark chocolate, milk is my favourite, but one taste and I'm hooked!! Then I struggle to stop eating it. I've bought a bag of washed young spinach leaves and keep munching on those everyone I pass the kitchen, I'm doing a months iron supplements to boost my iron & got some pastrami for lunches which has more iron in, steaks for the BBQ & am going to get some lambs liver too. Must admit I do feel very tired at the moment, feel I could drop off to sleep as soon as I sit down and relax, so maybe the lack of iron is why. Don't understand why this is really as I do have a very balanced diet with lots of food containing iron, but let's see how it.

@musicsax, Cooking in a cast iron pan adds iron to your food, but its most beneficial if the foods are acidic. Lentils, beans, organ meats, beef, kale, collards, spinach, tomatoes, potatoes, beets, beet greens. The iron rich food list goes on. But, it really depends on how deficient you are in iron. You could still need a prescription supplement, OTC supplement or even iron shots. I have family members that are and were extremely iron deficienct. Also, Vitamin C helps the absorption of iron.

@playhardkf2017, that lucky iron fish is great!

Thanks for that advice, really helpful, I've got some kiwi fruit too, 🥝 a whole days with of vit C in those, will include one a day.

9/7 - 159.0
9/8 - 158.2

Last round I managed to break through a stall in weight loss, I think the walking is really paying off and I feel much more energetic. I will try to keep it up this week but I have some physically hard days coming up with fitting my new kitchen and building a faux brick wall so may be quite exhausted, we'll see...

9/09 - 160.2 STEPS - ? Didn't wear tracker SLEEP 7hrs23m Well that's strange, 2lbs up in one day! I've had a very stressful couple of days with teenager drama (cortisol) plus had bread with dinner (carbs) which usually causes water weight for me. Also didn't get much walking done yesterday so that's most likely why. Not sure if I should change my RGW or stick with it and hope for the best.

9/10 - 158.2 STEPS 9,959 SLEEP? I started off my day with a 3 mile walk first thing and it really gave me a boost of energy, spent the rest of the day buzzing and got loads of stuff done. In the evening we went out to a new bar in town. I ended up at about 2000 cals yesterday so I'm gonna have to be strict this weekend. OH has to go to India today for a family emergency so I'm gonna be on my own for 2 weeks. I can really focus on myself and building some healthy habits.

9/11 - 159.4 STEPS 6,640 SLEEP 6hr32m Big ol' carb binge yesterday for no particular reason. Got out for a short walk first thing then drove OH to the airport, got back home and spent the rest of the day snacking. Was I worried? Bored? Self sabotaging? I wasn't hungry and didn't even enjoy it... no idea. Feeling really bloated today so I'm gonna eat lots of salad and try to get a decent walk in. OH missed his connecting flight and is stuck in Delhi for 13hrs, poor thing!

Here is a peek at my nerdy spreadsheet , the round 161 portion. I enter the daily reading in the third columns and everything to the right of it fills in. All of the rounds are on one worksheet, so I just keep working my way down in ten-day increments. The last line here is line 610 of the worksheet. Yes, I have a bar chart on another tab in the same file. Dork. If I knew anything about "statistics" I would set up some other outputs.

@_JeffreyD_ - I love your "nerdy" spreadsheet. Here's my spreadsheet. Mine is more tracking than computing, even though I do use a spreadsheet instead of Word so I can enter my weight once and automatically fill in other areas and to compute my losses, etc. As you can see, mine is more of a "shiny object" with all the color and it feeds my obsession of liking to track everything and the ritual of filling it in each day, at least I like it when I've stayed to plan and making good progress.

I too have a spreadsheet, but mine tracks the amount of miles I've walked during the year !

9/11 136.2 - as you can see had a better food day, stuck to plan. 9.79 miles walked yesterday, feeling more in control, just need to stay that way!! On our way to the south coast for our holiday, feeling positive!!

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
Ultimate Lifetime Goal: Weigh Less Each Year Than the Last
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 2021 BMI 35.2
UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150's

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, strength training, 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; ~12-16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
9/9 202.3 Walked 4 miles, Strength Class 1 hr, 1357 cal, 91 net carbs, AF. Didn’t accomplish much today outside of menu planning, groceries, cooking, and exercising … oh and reading “This Tender Land” by William Kent Krueger and listening to “The House in the Cerulean Sea” by TJ Klune. Headed to the fishing camp today for a long food & drink weekend where exercise is challenging. Before I leave planning to attend strong & fit strength class this morning.
9/10 203.7 @ fishing camp 🎣 Strength Class 1 hr, no walking, 5 hrs in the car, 1599 cal, 139 net carbs, not enough water. 1.5 bottles of Michelob Ultra at the Community BBQ event hosted by one of the resort camps and held at Dirty Reds outside bar … get to know your neighbors (free brisket & beer)
9/11 DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.4 miles, fishing … caught 21.5” & 23” Redfish, 1405 cal, 68 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.

SW: 204.6 (9/8)
GW: 165

Day 1 9/9: 204.4 (-0.2) Not surprising given my chicken sandwich binge yesterday. Hoping today is a little easier. I go riding today and that means I can have Starbucks so I’m hoping the built in “cheat” will tide me over for another day or two.
Day 2 9/10: 203.6 (-0.8) Man I need to go riding more 😅 Stayed on track yesterday with my Starbucks cheat “meal” (coffee and scone) pre-ride. Told my instructor we need to work on MY stamina so did a lot of posting trot on Big Mare (only 3 spooks and 1 bolt attempt!). Managed not to pull every muscle in my back this time as Big Mare was sooooo much better about using HER back and not getting so heavy on the forehand in her canter. Good day overall. They added mirrors to the arena so now I get an additional visual cue as to how far I have to go 😐
Day 3 9/11: 203.8 (+.2) Yesterday was hard. I had a major craving for pizza, even opened the app on my phone to order one, but somehow I got through it. And even though I stuck to the plan I still gained a little. I know it’s probably not a real gain but I still hate to see it. A bit worried it will happen again today especially since I have a lot of errands to run and feeling a little low.

My first round, this is perfect for me!

36, 5'4
OSW on 23 Aug 21: 234 lbs
UGW: 125 lbs

Pre-round SW on 8 Sept 21: 232.6 lbs
Round goals: work out at least 20 mins every day, drink 2 litres water daily, fast 16 hours a day
Round GW: 229 lbs so that I can scratch off the 230’s

Day/Weight/Comment:

9/9 – 234 lbs – ate more than I planned to yesterday but stuck to my exercise and water goals. Feeling re-focused!

9/10 – 232.8 lbs – although I didn’t stick to the plan yesterday, I still came in under calorie goal so I'm happy with that. I also met my exercise, water, and fasting goals.

9/11 – 233.6 lbs - No surprise here. Friday is always a weak spot for me and last night was no different, big carb binge! But I didn’t drink any alcohol and that was a win. Also met my water and exercise goals. Gotta try to do better for the rest of the weekend!

36YO F on my second round! I once tipped the scales at 395. I’ve done a lot of hard work with IF to get to where I am now, and came to MFP to finally see my goal come to fruition. These 10 day challenges are great. I can do anything for 10 days!

SW: 223.4
UGW: 150lbs

Challenge goals: lose as many lbs as I can! Stay under 100g net carbs. Get my exercise in!

9/9 223.4- Ended the day yesterday with 80g net carbs, plenty of water, and got my strength training in. I’m a bit upset this morning as I’m UP by 1.8lbs from yesterday, despite staying pretty perfectly on plan. I have no explanation aside from some still lingering PMS effects?! It’s been 9 days of this now though, and I’m tired of it. Blah. Still, I rise.
9/10 223.4- No loss, but no gain either. Got a Peloton ride in last night. 63g net carbs. Everything done just as it should be. Eventually the scale will catch up.
9/11 Camping 🏕 DNW had a successful day yesterday. Got my strength training session in before lunch yesterday, which means I did not make excuses to skip it like I did last time we left on a Friday to go camping! I didn’t get all of my steps in for the day, but I did manage to finish the day with 69g net carbs, even with some rice at dinner. Overall, I’m feeling good, and it’s nice to have a small break from the scale too.

The “new puppy diet” seems to be working. Actually what’s working is the photo of me & DH with the puppy when he arrived. I’m so fat! I seem to have stopped evening snacking cold turkey. A bit of “fizzy water” fools me into thinking I’ve had something.

9/9- 155.6- feeling optimistic about the 10 days. Also started using a habit tracker which keeps me mindful and gives me a visual to my progress on behaviors I am working on (like good sleep hygeine).
9/10- 157.2- doesn't surprise me...we had take out last night. I always have these 2-3 lb swings...just need them at a lower overall weight. 😆
9/11- 158. I'm not very good at this. But I'm logging. And I guess that's something. Exercise is in the toilet- and when that goes, it all seems to.

9/09 - 229.4 (-.2) Working out at Orange Theory Fitness today. I love these challenges. They keep me motivated and moving forward. Wishing everyone a fabulous next ten days.
9/10 - 229.2 (-.4) Yesterday was my indulgence meal, pizza. Making a long story as short as possible, instead of eating the three pieces I usually eat, I stopped at one and a half pieces. It was a huge disappointment. I love this pizza from one of my favorite places and this time it was a mushy mess. I was mad. What a waste of an indulgence meal. So what did I do? Continue to eat the rest of the evening. It was probably my worst eating day since I started this journey and I was fully expecting to get up and weigh in five pounds more this morning. I was kicking myself all night and my stomach was upset on top of it. I had failed. What mind games! It’s one day out of one hundred maybe? I logged everything (almost 3000 calories). Lucky I don't keep junk food around or it could have been worse. I expect a bump in the next few days, but I’m getting back on track today. Swimming is on the agenda.
9/11 - 229.2 (-.4) While I was swimming yesterday, I thought about the mind games of losing weight. I seem to panic on and off and I think that’s because I wonder, after many failures at losing and regaining, is this the beginning of doing that all over again? I’m determined that this time, things are going to be different. That’s why I’m in this challenge and active on the forums. I’m not in this journey alone and there are so many successful people cheering us on and offering us real life examples of what worked for them. I’m going to trust the process and keep moving forward. Thanks for the great support!

@Lilylady3k and @deepwoodslady I wish they made these BBQ sauces and things in individual servings, like mayo, mustard, ketchup. I bought one of the G Hughes sauces after all the raves I heard several years ago. I used about a teaspoon and eventually threw it away. It was so sweet!!

9/11 118.0 The lunch date with my DH was worth every ounce! 1/2# burger with 3 cheeses. I even ate the bun and some onion rings! Not worried. 😋 Not AF as we visited neighbors and he had a snifter of Jack Daniels poured for me when we arrived.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/9 = 162.8
Went on a run with my husband early yesterday morning. I run more consistently and further than he does, he's only an occasional runner. There is quite a height difference (he's 6'3 and I'm barely 5'4), so his stride is much bigger than mine but I usually have no issue keeping pace with him - not yesterday. He was on fire and I was not feeling it! Maybe it will take a few runs to get my body used to runny early morning instead of mid-day. But still happy, to have a running partner!
9/10 = 162.8
Core workout yesterday, feeling a little sore but the DOMS will pass...The scale will most likely start moving again as the soreness lessens. Slept in this morning instead of running early a.m. with my husband, just couldn't make myself do it. Will run mid-day instead, it's beautiful weather for it too!
9/11 = 163.3
No reason for this uptick, just a random body fluctuation I guess. Not worried as am on track with all my goals. Yesterday was a good running day, got lots of water, fasted 18 hours, no alcohol. Have a big full body strength workout planned for today + maybe a long walk as well.
