Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 168

krose4514 · November 2021

Very happy to join for my second round and hoping to keep the momentum going. These are the last 10 days before my fiance comes to visit and before we travel for the holidays, so I want to make them count!

Original SW - 187.8 (10/29/2021)
GW - 138

R167: SW 187.8, EW 181.8 (-6.0)
Know this included lots of water weight and will be slower going from here.

R168 SW: 181.8
R168 GW: 179.8

Day/Weight/Comment

11/08 - 182.4 Well the scale is up today, but that’s ok. I know I ate well yesterday and went for a hike. Hoping my last weigh-in wasn’t just a fluke and that the scale drops again.

11/09 - 180.8 Very happy to see the scale back down today. Ate well yesterday, though not much activity.

11/10 - 181.2 Sigh. Scale back up again for some reason. Stuck to my calories and meal plan yesterday though so will just keep at it.

11/11 - 182.6 I have no explanation for the scale going up once again. Stuck to my calories yesterday. Have to hope this is just normal fluctuation and I’ll have a big drop soon.

11/12 - 179.6 Grateful to see some forward progress. Stuck to my meal plan yesterday, though not much activity.

11/13 - 179.6 No movement, but had a reasonable and healthy eating day yesterday. Today I’m going out for lunch through so may end up seeing an increase tomorrow. Will try to get some exercise and drink lots of water to counter balance as much as possible.

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”, 61
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)

Status: Walked 32.2 miles in November

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
11/8 207.9 Walked 3.3 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Wonderful jazz music brunch at Brennan’s with our adult children (they threw in their credit cards and would not let us pay), 60th birthday celebration for DH since we had the kids all together. Walked through our daughter’s new home built in 1948 … definitely a fixer upper in an up and coming area of town. She told her siblings she was pregnant at brunch. So much celebration this weekend. Taking my mom to the airport today and pulling the plug on gluttony for the rest of the week!
11/9 207.4 Walk 3 miles, Bike 20 min, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF.
11/10 206.7 Walked 1.3 + 1.3 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, weeding garden, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Still not journalling my food but I am paying more attention Mon & Tues. TODAY is the day I pull it all back together water, tracking every bite and exercise. Took the leftover pumpkin cookies & pear cake from the baby shower to alumnae social event last night instead of a bottle of wine. All the sweet temptations are gone!
11/11 205.5 Walked 1.6 + 3.1 + 1 miles, 1524 cal, 114 net carbs, AF. Donated blood (targeting 4x per year). Started journaling my food for the day in the morning again and then updating it throughout the day. Definitely makes me think before putting something else in my tummy and I’m more accountable.
11/12 207.0 Walked 1.8 + 1.4 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, 2267 cal, 151 net carbs, Torchy’s Tini. DH went to happy hour with clients. My sister stopped by to drop something off so we ended up going out as well. After I returned home I walked the dog once more before DH returned.
11/13 207.4 Walked 3.7 + 3.1 miles, 1642 cal, 118 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.

I've explored the possibility of setting up the new challenges - it doesn't look too bad; I think I might be able to do it. If @quiltingjaine still feels that she wants to leave then I am prepared to give it a try if you all bear with me. Like lots of others I'm hoping she reconsiders now that some of the features have returned and the format is more user friendly and welcoming, I will miss her friendship

Round 168 goals: work out at least 30 mins every day, drink 2 litres water daily, no alcohol

Day/Weight/Comment:
11/8 – 234 - Back to where I was in August. Not good but looking forward not back!
11/9 – 231.2 – Met all round goals yesterday and feeling pretty great!
11/10 – 231.8 – I got some not so great news yesterday so all the healthy eating and goals went out the window. Honestly, surprised that the uptick wasn’t more! But today will be a good day.
11/11 – 229.2 – So happy with this number, just hope it’s real! Yesterday I ate well and exercised. Just gotta keep going! (PS - I hate this mfp update grrrrr)
11/12 – 228.2 – I had a subway salad last night but I didn’t get all the extra sauces like I normally do. I also worked out twice in am and pm and will try to keep doing that.
11/13 – 229 – My partner convinced me to have pizza last night but it was yummy and I tried to control my portions! I worked out once yesterday in the am.

Let’s do this!
This is round 8 for me.

161 SW: 222.2
EW: 221.6
162 EW: 218.6
163 EW: 211.8
164 EW: 211.6
165 EW: 206.0
166 EW: 206.2
167 EW: 203.2

Round 168 goals: Pelo 2-3x/week; strength training 2-3x/week; 10,000 steps/day; <90 net carbs/day; lose as much weight as I can!

SW: 203.2

11/8: 201.8 53 net carbs, Pelo ride done, and step goal achieved. I’m starting to see a pattern emerging with the way my body loses now- stalling for about 2 weeks surrounding TOM, then suddenly dropping a lot all at once for about 10 days before starting the pattern again. That makes it feel like I have very little time each month to lose, but if it’s going to be bunch within those 10 days, then it’s really not so bad after all.

11/9: 201.6 63 net carbs, step goal achieved, and strength workout done. I had an incident where I had my injera recipe put into the MFP recipe calculator previously, but made it a little different this time but didn’t edit the recipe until after I already ate it. Still managed to pull off a good day in spite of the injera incident though, so I’m happy with that 0.2 loss! I also am wearing a pair of size 10 jeans today- the first time I’ve actually worn them since I bought them a few weeks ago as a motivator. Talk about a confidence boost!

11/10: 200.8 I’m so close to under 200 I can taste it! I was concerned pizza night night cause issues, but it obviously didn’t. 77 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done. Come on 199!!!

11/11: 201.8 Well, here we are again. I’m not exactly surprised, just disappointed. I was hoping for another day or two to drop below 200 before the hormonal stall. No such luck. If this time around is anything like last time, that puts the end of the stall coming on Thanksgiving, just in time for the feasting day. Womp womp. Lol But it’ll pass, I know that! I can still very easily see <200 by the end of the month! 70 net carbs, step goal achieved, and strength training done yesterday.

11/12: 200.8 39 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done. Maybe, just maybe I’ll see that 199 tomorrow yet. If not, then I’m sure it’ll be another couple of weeks. We’re attending a weeding out of state tomorrow evening, which means eating a few meals out this weekend. It’ll be what it’ll be, and I’ll be under 200 pretty darn soon regardless!

11/13:199.8 YAHOOOOOOO!! All I wanted was to see that 1 in front by today. We’re heading out of town for a wedding and I just wanted that 199.x before a little bit of planned indulgence. 34 net carbs and step goal achieved yesterday.

Hello everyone, late joining this group. Joined mfp yesterday and thought I'd give it a try.

Been at this weight for a long time and decided it was time get moving on losing the excess lbs and to getting healthier. Better to do it with like minded people, instead of alone. With the holidays looming in the very near future, now's a good time as any to start this new journey.

Day/Weight/Comment

11/08 - 180.2, ave 179.4

I had a fun day yesterday. I took my 4-mo-old puppy, Rory, to the local dog show and he earned his Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certificate and his Novice Trick Dog title! It’s a huge show, but he did fine in the chaos of people, dogs, & noise. Here’s he is after doing his tricks.

11/09 - 180, ave 179.6

Ok, this makes sense since my calories have been very close to maintenance for the past week. Slowly dropping back down.

11/10 - 178, ave 179.2

Nice drop! I think it’s all the walking in obedience class, because my calories were barely below maintenance and I had some sherbet and some triscuits and cheese last night. Whatever! I’m off now for a walk with the pup, aiming for 3 miles. That’s about his limit for now, and will give me a little peace and quiet later!

11/11 -177.8, Ave 178.7

Cutting & pasting. Anyone know if there’s a place to give feedback on the “improved” format? 😤🤮🤯

11/12 - 179.2

My inner bear is trying to pack on weight for the winter. 🐻 Still not a fan of the new format, but I’m figuring in out.

11/13 - 179.6
Oh, yeah, cheese and ice cream and two oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Onward!

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

I have NO explanation for this bump up from yesterday. Ok, yes I do but it involves an overabundance of information.

11/9: 206.6
Marginal day of following my self-imposed rules yesterday.

11/10: 205.6
Important work being done here. I wish I could remember that every day.

Had a spinning class last evening after work. I was there a few minutes early so I decided to do some upper body dumb-bell exercise. Very proud of myself for staying in my lane. The young lady next to me was using twice the weight I was lifting. Others were at many multiples more. I put my ego in my pocket and wasn’t even tempted to “look strong,” or “feel week!”

Very satisfying muscle soreness this morning and no injuries. Getting wise in my old age.

11/11: 206.2
I am totally fine in this neighborhood. I need to train my metabolism to like it here. I need my metabolism to trust me. “No Mr. Metabolism, I will never starve you. So, you can burn away at your heart’s content. No need to hoard calories and store them for later!”

OK, that was weird.

11/12: 205.6
This new format reminds me what it feels like to unexpectedly see friends from back home while you are on vacation.

11/13: 205.8
This reading is better than I deserve after yesterday’s behavior. Regardless, I am at my lowest 10-day running average since September.

Looks like they have reinstated things so I can at least post the way I usually do. I keep a Word document and copy/paste from it each day. And the spoilers are back, 😊

Still can’t check in on your posts with my phone.

Day/Weight/Comment

11/8 / 198.8 / Haven't had an overnight jump that large in a while. My period did start yesterday. I ate on point though and walked almost 20,000 steps plus a Peloton bike ride. Had a very great day and off to make today another one.
11/9 / 198.6 / Donated blood yesterday. Super busy day today! Have moved a lot already so hoping to see the scale down some more again tomorrow.
11/10 / 199.2 / Got all my movement in early yesterday as we were volunteering at night. Ate a big salty snack right before bed but it fit within my calories.
11/11 / 197.4 / Alright - almost back to where I started. Yesterday we had a yummy salmon dinner and I rode my Peloton for the longest ride yet (45 mins).
11/12 / 196.6 / Got a lot of exercise yesterday and felt great about it. Today was a very busy day at work - so glad the weekend is here!
11/13 / 195 / Things are rolling now. It seems as I drop weight my body has become much more sensitive to my TOM than it did almost 100 pounds ago (or I was losing so fast back then it wasn't as detectable to me). In any event, it's interesting watching how the body works. Had a great day of eating again yesterday and got my exercise in.

11/8 216 (+.4) Hiked 6+ miles with my sister yesterday. It was a beautiful day in the mountains. I should be on a downward trend tomorrow. No scheduled exercise today, but I’ll be drinking lots of water.
11/9 215.4 (-.2) Today, I’m back in the pool. My low weight was last Friday. I had my indulgence meal Friday night and I’m still trying to catch back up. No hugs necessary. Just playing some mind games that come along with losing weight. As long as I stay focused, the whoosh will come.

11/10 213.6 (-2.0) This was my lowest weight last round so I’m glad to see it back on the scale today. Drank all my water yesterday and had a wonderful swim. No organized exercise today.
11/11 213.8 (-1.8) Today I’m meeting a friend for lunch, so I’ll have an indulgence meal. I’m sure I’ll be over calories, but I will be eating lighter for breakfast and dinner. Still on a downward trend overall.
11/12 214.2 (-1.4) I’ve been bouncing around in this area for the last ten days. I’m not surprised, but still a little frustrated. So I’m going to focus on eating right and exercising with the goal of being under 210 by the end of the month and leaving this struggle in the dust. Life’s been busy, in a good way, but I’m definitely not getting all my water in. Still logging and exercising, so it will come.
11/13 213.8 (-1.8) My weight is coming back down. Hoping for a new low this week. Swimming was great. No organized exercise today, but will be hiking with my sister tomorrow. Wow. We are already more than halfway through this round.

Yay, @Nicoles0305 !!! What a huge accomplishment. I'm glad MFP is taking note of people's concerns. I'd hate to see anyone leave, especially you @quiltingjaine You've been such a wonderful cheerleader for all of us.

Round 168 (my 5th)
November 8 - November 7, 2021
Female, 5’7”
HW: 181 pounds (Dec 30, 2019)
RSW: 157.0 pounds (Nov 7, 2021, EO Round 167)
RGW: 154.0 pounds (-3.0 pounds)

Day/Weight/Comment
11/08: 157.0 - Well, I really need to focus on my eating. I’ve kind of been on autopilot with meals, but these last 4 days I was going back to some bad habits (eating even after I knew I was at the top end of my calories). When I’m not in my usual routine is when I get derailed. That means two things: I need to figure this out for upcoming holidays and travel, and I need to get back on track here at home and not let this short slide turn into a longer one.
11/09: 156.5 - Did my usual Jazzercise workout and normal meals with the exception of the last of the birthday cake.
11/10: 157.6 - Hmmm, too much salt? Too much cake?
11/11: 156.5 - Yesterday was a normal workout and eating. Been hovering around the same 2 pounds since the beginning of the month.
11/12: 155.4 - Finally, it took about a week to get back to where I was in the last round after parties and travel.
11/13: 155.4 - Was hungry all day yesterday but stuck to my calories (barely) and did a long walk
11/14: -

Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: - 1.6 pounds

It's not the App we're dependant on , it's the friendship, support and camaraderie with people all over this planet that we've found together over the months/years. These friends are part of my life now, they feel like the family that I have chosen for myself and I feel so emotional that it looks like we are going to lose these ties.

I do not have the technical ability to set up new rounds, but if I had instructions (for dummies) on how to do it, then I'll give it my best shot. I do feel the format looks slightly improved this morning.

I agree! You all are my friends and I apologize and I will miss you! I was finally feeling as if I had figured out posting the new rounds although my heart was racing the whole time I did it, until I saw that it posted the way I intended. I retired 19 years ago and at that time didn’t know anything about posting anything. I only knew how to use what I had to at work. I have no idea what BBCode is.

@tiabirdie56 Thank you!

@TerriRichardson112 said “I have had to copy my original post into my Notes and am updating and copying/pasting from there.”

This is how I have “done it” since I started. At the end of each round I copy and email to myself and save them on my computer.

❤️💔 okay, I’m old and don’t like change but have settled down a bit. @musicsax if you will post the next round (169) I will attempt to figure this out and do 170.💔❤️

fmfdfa2020 · November 2021

Thank you @quiltingjaine - so ready for another round!

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!)

Calorie/Carb Cycling with an average of 1200 to 1400 calories at the end of 10 days. 80 oz water each day. Row/Walk/Free-Weights most days. IF, no sugar. Focus on getting enough vegetables. If I hit each of these, the weight loss will follow!

Playing Catchup:
163....162....161..... 160....159.X....

Next short-term goal:
159....158....157..... 156....155.X....

11/08: DNW
11/09: 163.1 - I'm starting to feel like I stopped the upward trend and settling down to start losing again.
11/10: DNW
11/11: DNW
11/12: 162.8 - I'm still struggling a little with cravings after all the sugar, etc. I'm going to make today a good day!

11/13: 162.6 - Much better day yesterday. I have that feeling again that this is doable. I lose confidence when I go off on a binge for weeks.
I am so glad to have color back!

11/14:
11/15:
11/16:
11/17:

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!

deepwoodslady · November 2021

@musicsax Thank you for offering to set up the new rounds going forward. We need this challenge so badly.

@quiltingjaine I am just going to go ahead and say what we all want to say. Please don't go. This challenge needs you as a person who has had so much success. We also need you as a person who represents the low carb / keto lifestyle. You have so much to offer and are generous to give! We all hate the new format but they have asked us to be patient while they work out the kinks. It's already getting better. Please stay and walk our journeys with us as we see what happens. Musicsax has offered to take over the moderation of JGM10D, so that pressure will be off. I hope you will reconsider!
