Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 173

musicsax · December 2021

Round 173 (105th for me). I prove yet again round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow.

There are only 4 days to New Year's Eve & dance !! Challenge this year is to feel good on my dress!

Covid numbers are soaring in England (Omnicron) – the pandemic is still very much here: Covid is still very much rife! Continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in public indoor settings, think before you head out, stay alert and 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!! But than I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

SW: 136.6

Day/Weight/Comment
12/28: 136.6 - managed to get in 9,4 miles walking in yesterday in-between the rain. Might not be so lucky today looking at the forecast!
12/29: 136.6 - 9.9 miles walked, planned around the rain again !
12/30:. 137.2 - no walking yesterday due to persistent rain & taking the last opportunity to spend some time with DD,DS & respective families before we travel home today.
12/31: 136.6 – 6.66 miles walked yesterday, managed to get it in before we packed up and travelled home as it was a dry morning – for a change!!! More on track with my eating; but 244, 45 & 5g calories, carbs & fat over respectively. Need to walk 11 miles today to hit my challenge for this year, a challenge indeed!

01/01:. Happy New Year!!

Oldie rejoined after falling off the wagon. Need your support to stick to it, my body is begging for better treatment.

R173 SW: 100.7 Goal: maintain control over food. <100

12/28 - 100.7 (0.0) Traveling yesterday, usually bloating after but since back home to my scale don't really know what to compare to
12/29 - 100.9. (+0.2) Massive headaches. Must be eating too little (keeping it~1400 but rounding up uncertainties, so maybe too low). Had to eat a bit more salty and sweet foods yesterday to cope. That is probably the reason for the small up.
12/30 - 101.3 (+0.5) had to eat maintenance yesterday (2100) because the headache was bad, and the fact that it stopped after eating is a bad sign. Will compensate today with food and/or exercise
12/31 - 100.4 (-0.3) some exercise and keeping under calories. Today will be a challenge with lots of yummy food and alcohol. I think I will let myself indulge today eith no guilt. Will make it up to tomorrow. Managed to do ot for Christmas should be able to manage it now too.

Hi, I am Annabelle. I just hit 60. Yikes!.

Female, 5'6
SW 268.8
GW 263
I am starting round one as well as being new to MFP . I was going to wait til Jan 1 but decided to start today. I have a couple events to go to before then but will be trying a eating mindfully approach versus limiting myself.
I am an Icu nurse and covid has put a number on my stress levels, and well...waistline and hips and weight. Since it started I probably put on 60 lbs and i was not near goal then. Well I am starting 2022 with a new attitude and plan on taking care of me.

12/28 268.8 lbs.

12/29: 267.6 lbs Today i was off work and went to pick up a few things in Ohio. I live about 30 min from the border in rural Pa . I went to the eye center to pick up my new glasses which has been on order since November, went to Joanne's to buy more fabric i did not need. I do sew quite a bit and have a small embroidery business on the side but if am near a fabric store its like a magnet pulls me in. Sewing is also a release and gives me satisfaction. Tonight, our two girls are coming over to have dinner. I have lots of pasta left over from the last couple days and i want it out of the house by new year's.
12/30 268 working
12/31 266.4. Working til 7 then off to families for small celebration

12/28: 149.7
12/29: 149.0, not a weight loss yet as I was 147 on Christmas Eve so am still losing the bloat from the holiday weekend. But...it's headed in the right direction!
12/30: 148.0, not sure what tomorrow will bring as we went out to dinner tonight. I tried to plan ahead, work my meal into my budget and drink extra water. Will see if that works. 🤞😊
12/31: 146.7, will probably hold here as this was my weight last week before Christmas dinner, drinks, cookies... Happy New Year everyone! 🎊🎉🍾

**************************************

12/28 145.2 (trend 142.9) Spent most of the night in the bathroom so I was surprised this morning to see my weight still heading upwards. Hopefully I'll be able to drop a chunk of this quickly as otherwise that's a 6.6lb gain in 11 days!! It took me 6 weeks to lose it so I can't believe I could gain it back so fast!
Having a roast chicken with all the trimmings today as our Christmas day lunch was steak and veggies so I don't feel like I've satisfied my festive cravings yet. Today will be my last day of indulgence, best behaviour from tomorrow, although NYE will have some drinks and snacks.

12/29 145.2 (143.2)

12/30 146.4 (143.6) Arrgghh make it stop! How did I let this happen? SOS!
Up nearly 8lbs in less than 2 weeks, trying to resist the urge to over restrict... it'll be fine, it'll be fine, just got to get back on the wagon...

12/31 144.2 (trend 143.7)
HAPPY NEW YEAR JGM10Ders!
OK, phew, hopefully I'm starting to see the true impact of my Christmas indulgence after the water weight and bloat subsides! However, tonight is NYE! My daughter is having a few friends over to stay tonight so we're getting out of the way and going to check out the parties at a couple of pubs. I don't like starting the new year with a sore head but it's probably going to happen that way! Adios 2021!

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)

R173: Really!?! I’m going in the wrong direction! Need to put the brakes on and start caring what I eat. TODAY not Jan 1 is the beginning of my focus on weight loss again. No more of the holiday excess.
🎯Mini Goal: <205 (Repeat until I hit it!)
Exercise Goal for this round: Strength class twice per week. Walk the dog 100 miles in Dec & Jan!

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
12/28 207.7 Walked 2.4 miles, over 15k steps shopping! Started journalling for the day with breakfast but then nose dived at lunch with my pregnant daughter and her cravings for queso w/ chips & fried pickles … splitting a hamburger. Dinner was good but snacks were poorly chosen when I returned home. 2 glasses wine.
12/29 207.5 Walked 2.9 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Pretty good day but still not journalling my food which means that I eat more snacks and junk than I would if I was tracking.
12/30 207.8 No exercise, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Helped my daughter create a BabyList.com baby registry and unpack more boxes in her house since she is off work this week.
12/31 207.8 No exercise, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Helped my daughter create a BabyList.com baby registry and unpack more boxes in her house since she is off work this week.
Day 71: Fri, 12/31: 209.0 Walked 2 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, AF. Too many salty snacks yesterday. BUT I did clean out the fridge, start menu plans again for the new year and signed up for Strength Training 4x per week instead of just 2x. Why does the flip of the year always spur me on. Well I guess because I didn’t achieve and maintain my goal for 2021. My goal was to get under 200. I was this close at 201.1 in August but then let things get out of hand and of course the scale jumps right back up when you do something stupid … like forget this is a lifestyle and not a diet. So starting a fresh page in my journal and creating the lifestyle that will help me get down to my goal set my both of my doctors.

12/28 203.2 (-.2) Swam a mile in the pool yesterday and made meals for the next few days. My low weight was 202 on December 18th. I was hoping to be closer to that weight today, but I’m getting there. Drank all my water.
12/29 202.0 (-1.4) There it is. My previous low weight. Hoping for a new low by the end of 2021. No organized exercise today, but I will stay on plan with both food and water.  
12/30 201.8 (-1.6) Hoping to sneak in a swim between my appointments today. I can’t believe 2021 is almost over. 
12/31 202.4 (0) I got in a good swim yesterday. Did not get all my water and I’m guessing that had an impact. Sending love and prayers to all those impacted by the fires near Denver. It looks like more than 500 homes burned in Superior and Louisville.

12/30 - 146.1
12/31 - 146.5 - Fam made dinner last night and it was really our last chance to hang out until mid-January (they both work the same lockdown schedule BF does) so we went there instead. Smothered venison patties with homemade mashed potatoes and roasted brussels sprouts. Water was good. Not quite sure why I'm feeling bloated and weight is up, but hopefully it drops back down. Tonight I attempt my air fryer wings. Tomorrow is chili. If we have nothing going on, Sunday is meal prep for the week of lunches and I'll make my chicken and rice for dinner then. Today is workout day. No plans for NYE except to watch my Michigan Wolverines. Go Blue!!! I believe, starting in the new year, working from home will no longer be an option. This will make things a little more challenging in the workout/sleep department, but hopefully easier in the eating department (easier to stick to fasting and, so long as I meal prep right, eating healthy balanced lunches). Will have to budget well (gas prices and more frequent car maintenace with all those miles!) and plan meals better.

Previous Day's Comments

12/28 - I made a booboo. I remembered to turn my alarm off for yesterday, but forgot to change my alarm to 6am instead of 330am! I woke up, weighed myself, chugged water, and then realized it's 330! I'm working from home this week and didn't have to be awake until 6 so back to bed I went. Didn't reweigh when I got up since I had chugged that water and went with the slightly skewed super early weight. Sodium and a very late dinner likely contributing. Also no proper TMI yesterday which is also not helping, I'd assume. Completed workout yesterday and today NF has me taking a 10 minute YETI walk (Year End Thankfulness Index - its a week long 2021 wrap-up journey to reflect on the successes of the year to set us up for a solid start of 2022 health wise). Sounds like BF is just waking up which means the pup will be up and moving so I can take her with. Tonight I get to use my air fryer to try stuffed mushrooms! I've never had them and BF has never had air fryer made ones so we shall see how it goes. I know this week's menu includes his homemade chili, chili cheese burgers, frito pie, and my attempt at making air fryer wings. Not sure if we are just eating the stuffed mushrooms for dinner of if we'll have something additional as well. Already working on water (hit 90oz yesterday yay!) and will continue that trend. Edit: Due to late dinner at friend's bday gathering, I'm not sure I will hit 16 hours (will be 1pm) so I'm going to fast as long as I can handle. Hopefully I can make it to at least 15 hours for lunch at noon.
12/29 - Alright, back down a bit into a "comfort zone" showing I didn't gain fat (or at least not a ton). Goals good yesterday, got my walk in. Today is workout day so I'll sneak that in somewhere. Stuffed mushrooms were good (as an appetizer)! Air fryer is amazing already. Took the rest to Fam and they loved them! Also made my best batch of chicken fajitas for dinner (even BF, who doesn't particularly like fajitas enjoyed them). Not sure dinner tonight. Think my attempt at air fryer wings is for NYE and chili is New Year's Day since it's crockpot and BF has to be up super early for work. Still have a chili cheese burgers and frito pie to choose from tonight. Will have to sneak in veggies at lunch. Forgot a couple items at store, so lunch break is yet another store run. Ugh. 3 days in a row! This holiday thing really has me messed up. At least I can grab some easy lunch ideas while I'm there.
12/30 - Not bad for a spaghetti dinner (hello carbs!). I also made (using my new Christmas toys) homemade baguettes which BF requested so he could make garlic bread. DEFINITELY better than store bought! Super proud of myself for that. Water was good. Workout knocked out. Today is rest day but, depending on how work is, I'll go for a walk over lunch with the pup (since I shouldn't need another store run, whew). We've decided to wait on Frito pie and chili cheese burgers until after the new year so we can use BF's leftover homemade chili rather than canned chili for them. I'm thinking of making chicken and rice tonight, just have to see if I have all the ingredients first. Have steamable bags of veggies as a side to go with it. All other habits good.

@mrsrebeccaplude When I finally went through my closet, there were several items which I bought hoping to someday be able to wear but were too big by the time I tried them on. I was sad. Congratulations for closet shopping!

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable but I’ve been doing it for over 4 years with amazing results!

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

12/28 118.0 AF Nice visit yesterday with friend. Ate at Romero’s in Pahrump. So sad that Red Sky BBQ is permanently closed. They had the most beautiful side salad! Sort of surprised by the drop as I ate some house made chips and salsa and whatever refried beans were stuck to the cheese - probably not more than a tablespoon, really. LOL
12/29 117.5 AF 1/2 of Great Greek salad with steak. Going to the restaurant supply with daughter and friends this morning. Ate 1/2 an apple with Smucker’s Natural PB last night.

Round goals - Practice OMAD, 10K steps, 8c water, limit alcohol and treats
**************************************

12/28 - 139.3 lbs - OMAD, 9c water, 13K steps, went off track and drank 3 glasses of wine and ate lot more than usual. The meal window was stretched. Need to discipline myself to keep on to goals.

12/29 - 139.3 lbs - OMAD, 9c water, 11K steps, nibbled in between, drank 2 glasses of wine. Focus on good healthy food rather than calorie and carb heavy and no drinking.

12/30 - 139.2 - OMAD, 10c water, 12K steps

12/31 - 138 - broke fast at noon, binged some and drank too much. Drinking alone put me at vey high calories. There is a plan to eat out today so need to be careful.

fmfdfa2020 · December 2021

Thank you @quiltingjaine for keeping this going!
May 10, 2021: 183.1 - just 2.9 pounds off 186, my heaviest weight ever.

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!

Next goal: - 140's by my birthday, Feb 10.
159....158....157....156....155....154....153....152....151....150....149

End of Last Round: 162.3

12/28 - DNW
12/29 - 162.2 - Too much salt and too many carbs. Hopefully this will drop back down to the 150's again in a few days, or at least by the end of this round.
12/30 - 161.8 - Enjoyed Christmas but I'm glad my excuse for eating things that are not good for me is done. Rowed 30 mins.
12/31 - 162.5 - Yike, wrong way!

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!

Ok, two days running with no snacks, no added sugars, and calories below goal. Yay me! I’m determined not to bounce back to the 80s, and would like to be down a few pounds by the time our new round of dog training classes start Jan. 10. We video one another, and I hate being the fat lady with the beautiful dog! Rory is 6 months old today. 🙂

Dark, wet, cold day, but I’m taking the pup out for a run. Then some house cleaning. Then, who knows? Have a lovely!

12/31 - 179.8, Ave 179.6
Salt. No problem, and I got out of the 80s by the end of the year as I’d hope. Wishing you all a safe and happy New Year’s Eve! 🥂

Round 173

Please join us! Starting on 11/18 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 173
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.

12/28 163.3 {Steps 11,988} ~ This couple months has been interesting to say the least, lol. With the holidays and potty training Parker the Pug plus getting dumped with a major snow storm, lol. My go to has been meditation, taking one day at a time. Remembering I have sooooo much to be thankful for.
12/29 162.9 {Steps 13,364} ~ Today started out rough but since we didn’t get any more snow, hitting the gym helped tremendously! My plan tonight is to get a yoga session in tonight, 😀
12/30 162.2 {Steps 11,339} ~ No yoga last night unfortunately, we received more snow over night, 😭😭. My goal today will try to get a couple walks in. On well I didn’t get a couple walks in plus late night snacks attack again, glazed lemon bread, lol. Hence the weight gain..
12/31 163.5 {Steps TBD} On the bright side I’m 5 pounds less today then I was a year ago!!!!

12/28 DNW traveling
12/29 207.8 very surprised it’s not higher with all the junk I’ve been eating.
12/30 208.2 Sigh.
12/31 207.4 Better. Still eating the Christmas leftover goodies but having salads for dinner. Thinking about New Year’s goals and realized I will hit 60 in December, 348 days to be exact. I’ve spent most of my adult life being overweight. I would like to spend the rest being in a somewhat “normal” weight range. How will I do that? Slow and steady wins the race right? Fewer calories each day and more movement each day.
