Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 184
Replies
-
SW: 199.6 on 4/12
Goals: Lose some weight in 10 days. Even if it’s 0.2 ounces. Weight lifting and closing my rings daily is my goal. Along with averaging a deficit each week!
This is my first round. I will weigh on 4/26. Weighing everyday drives me nuts! I lost 52 pounds over 3 years, but I’ve gained 25 back :-/. Time to get serious about getting it back off!
4/17 - Easter celebrations! 1922 calories, closed activity rings
4/18 - Back on track! 1678 calories, closed activity rings
4/19 - 1794 calories, closed activity rings. Need a little less calories to be in a deficit but don’t want to deprive to the point of wanting to binge.

Thank you, @quiltingjaine !
72 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.

4/19 169.6 lbs I'm shocked I made it through Easter and my birthday without a major gain! Worried it might show up tomorrow.

SW: 221.9
Day/Weight/Comment
4/17: 221.9 - I used to do these challenges, but the past few months I had some issues with depression and weighing and tracking were too much for me mentally, so I spent the last couple of months focusing on my mental health. I have been doing better and for the last few weeks I've started back tracking and making healthy changes. So, I was excited to see this challenge starting today so I can start back to daily weighing.
4/18: -222.0 Had a great day with my trainer yesterday and then went out for 3-mile walk. Today I tried a new recipe and it turned out really good.

Day/Weight/Comment
4/17 / 167.6 / Third day in a row holding my normal BMI weight so that makes me feel happy. Working on getting a bit of a cushion now so that upward fluctuations are not putting me back in the overweight category. This is really just an "on paper" goal that makes me feel good, but I am looking forward to it. The sun is out, we've started the day with a large brunch, and we're hoping to get out to the mountains for a bit of adventure yet today.
4/18 / 168.6 / Busy work from home day today but I squeezed in my Peloton ride as part of my lunch hour. My husband and I will walk our dog after supper instead now that we have daylight for longer. Turkey meatballs with broccoli and a cauliflower potato mash for supper tonight.
4/19 / 167.6 / My magic number of this round
We are getting a big snowstorm here in Alberta. Busy day in the office with a walk at lunch. Waiting for my turn on the Peloton tonight.

Round 184 ( my 116th for me). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
It's just over 4 weeks to DS wedding and I still messing about. What can I say that I haven't already. Feeling despondent. Need to lose this round, just lose!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 then I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

4/18 DNW – 3.92 miles, travel back home tomorrow will be able to weigh again, not looking forward to it as have slacked over the Easter weekend including chocolate eggs.
4/19 137.8 – 8.14 miles yesterday. Quite relieved at the number on the scales, taking it one day at a time. Attending an Uncle's funeral today followed by lunch out with my DSs going to chose a salad.
4/20 136.6 - 6.6 miles, chose an 8oz steak with salad for yesterday's lunch, all exercise calories eaten back.

Goal for this round: To weigh less than when the round started.
Previous days 4/17 Did not post
4/18 Did not weigh. Completed my strength workout this morning and finished with jump roping and then the stair master for 20 minutes. This weekend was hard to track because of the holiday meals and everything. TOM arrived yesterday and I was in bed by 7 last night and passed out by 7:50 I think. I was so sleepy from an excess amount of sugar. I have one more weekend of celebration to get through for my husband’s birthday next Sunday where I’ll be making a homemade key lime pie and I’m sure we’ll be going out to dinner at least once or twice. Then, that Monday I can get focused again and really work on eating healthier/have less indulgences on the weekends.
4/19 123.4 Did not post. Went to the gym and did 45 minutes on the stair stepper.
4/20 121.6 Not going to the gym today. Feeling weird/icky and like I’m about to lose my voice. Food was pretty good yesterday. I drank a ton of herbal tea to try and help save my voice. On the bright side, I tested negative for covid, so at least it’s not that. Taking a sick day from work to rest and hopefully feel better tomorrow.

Hi I'm Allison. I've been experiencing 2 types of things regarding my weight. Either it stays the same - at 180, OR, I go 2 pounds down, then 2 pounds up - LOL. Time to change this. A couple of years ago I made it down to 160. But my calorie intake was too low and therefore unsustainable.
Day/Weight/Comment
4/17 - 180
4/18 - 180 ** Gonna try to be positive and make this work
4/19 - 179.6 ** I’m going to make today a good day food wise. My legs hurt yesterday - so I think today I’ll take a break from walking/treadmill/elliptical - and do some arm work. Will continue yoga, too. On Day 3 of Yoga with Adriene - her 30 day series which began in January. There’s so much I can’t do ! But, I’m still going to try.
4/20 - 179.4 ** Yesterday was successful in terms of me eating within my calorie range. And I did my activities. I see no reason why I can’t repeat this today.

4/20 - 151.1 - I'm okay with that. BF made steak and chicken fajitas for dinner using the bell peppers I got (thankfully he used them before they went bad!) It was a bit heavy as I got home later than usual due to weather (apparently people can't drive over 20-30mph down the highway when its sprinkling rain so it took me 2.5hrs to get home. Usually only takes 1.5 hours). Didn't look as squishy and bloated as yesterday so it's progress in the mirror at least. Feel a tad lighter, too. Breakfast is overnight oats again. I'm really loving this oats kick I'm on. They definitely keep me full until lunch, unlike my "egg mcmuffin" breakfast. Plus, I can customize it a little every day so it doesn't feel like I'm eating the same thing on repeat. Not much else to report.

Previous Day's Comments4/17 - DNP
4/18 - Not quite enough water through the weekend. I did manage to get my 90oz yesterday but our Easter lunch (Linner?) is still bubbling in there this morning. Not sure if it's not sitting right or what. At least I don't feel sick, just uncomfortable. A bit of a lazy weekend, too. I think we all needed it after work weeks followed by crazy, hectic, busy weekends doing manual labor. Back on water this morning to hopefully get this bloat down a bit, I'm feeling extra bleh carrying it around. Not much else to report.
4/19 - Got some of that bloat to disappear and I feel better. Mirror isn't as friendly as the feeling, so good thing I'm focusing on health and not looks. Looks will come in time with a consistent healthy lifestyle. Tracked all food and stayed under "exercise" calories (which was just the little bit of walking I managed throughout the day). I'm content with that. High likelihood I'll have to travel next week for work. Looks like leaving Monday, returning Wednesday. I have a couple appointments and an event happening on Friday so it better not go longer than Thursday. Not much else to report, simply chugging along and trying to get back on track health-wise

4/17 192.6 (+3.6) I had a huge binge day yesterday. I was planning to have an indulgence meal and then never stopped. I enjoyed every minute. The beauty of this is that I was confident I could get back on plan. Under calories today and a nice long walk with the dogs on a beautiful Easter Day. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
4/18 192.0 (+3.0) No organized exercise and a busy day today. Weight is starting to drop already. Now, just to stay consistent.
4/19 190.0 (+1.0) Heading to the pool this morning. My vacation begins in two and a half weeks. I’ve got a lot to do before then. I was hoping to be closer to 180 by now, but still happy with all of the progress I’ve made in the last year. I can’t believe I’m 30 pounds away from goal weight. I saw a number of former co-workers yesterday and they told me over and over again how great I looked. Some days I really see the difference and others all I can see are the rolls that still exist. My plan for vacation is to enjoy my meals but to eat smaller portions. I’ll be gone for two weeks. I know I’ll gain weight, but hopefully it resets my body so when I return, I’m in losing mode and can finally bust past this semi plateau. On countdown!!
4/20 189.0 (0) Feeling great today and happy to be back where I started this round. No indulgence meal until the very end. Not much exercise today beyond a walk with the dogs. I started adding half a scoop of protein powder to my oatmeal in the morning. I wasn’t getting quite enough protein.9 -

Day/Weight/Calories/Comment
4/17 - 178.8
Ok, made yesterday’s <179 goal today, in spite of a few jelly beans last night. We’re going to friends’ for dinner, so I’m eating light during the day. Happy Easter, Passover, Ramadan, and whatever else you might be celebrating! 🪺
4/18 - 179.6
Not a surprise after last night’s dinner. I didn’t try to count calories, though I may still enter what I remember. Other than jelly beans, nothing was too crazy caloric. Off this morning for evaluation for upcoming cataract surgery. Not looking forward to this adventure.
4/19 - 181
Time lag from Sunday + salt yesterday. Calories were good, so this is temporary. Eye eval went well yesterday and I’m scheduled for June surgeries, but I still have a lot of Qs and feel like I’m being rushed into this. I’m going to do a bunch of research and then decide whether to go forward or postpone. The only vision issue I have is night driving, and I rarely do that. We’ll see. Off to doggy school!
4/20 - 180.2
Ok, headed back in the right direction. I still feel I can hit my 178 goal this round. Agility class today, so I’ll get some exercise. Last week, Rory knocked me down—ran into me on a turn toward a jump. Thank goodness we have nice padded mats. Hoping to stay on my feet today!

@CamandJarvis I wish people here would slow down when it rains. Our TOTAL rainfall last year was 1.87 inches. Definitely drought! When we get light rain, the streets are “slicker than snot” because they seldom get a hard cleansing rain. People don’t realize it’s like driving on ice - until they try to brake quickly or turn a corner too fast.2

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.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for over 4.5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

4/17 120.5. GKI 9.3 Lots of carbs yesterday because I ate a bowl of bran flakes trying to get things moving and 1 slice of veggie pizza at the quilt show. Quite happy with that! Walked over 7000 steps - about 3 times by usual - very happy with that too!
4/18 120.5 GKI 9.3 Hung out with recent widower friend. Lox, cream cheese, crackers and cheese followed by Italian sausage and cheesecake.
4/19 121.5 GKI 7.5 OMAD Great Greek salad with steak. Eating was good, I only ate about 1/8 of a pita. Increase is from carbs over the weekend and no TMI. I think I’m full of 💩 LOL I couldn’t pass that up. Sorry if I offended anyone.
4/20 119.5 GKI 7.2 still waiting for TMI but almost no carbs yesterday. Finished Greek salad (maybe 3/4 c) made steak and cauliflower for dinner and even had a glass of wine
Someone mentioned magnesium so I got up and took some. Maybe that will help.9 -

I don't mind going slower in rain by any means! But the traffic it caused was horrible. We'd speed up and then people would slam on brakes. When I say 20-30mph, I mean average speed across the city. It was horrible and very dangerous. Plus, a 5 lane highway and people weaving in and out. It wasn't raining hard, just a sprinkle (for hours by then), but people were driving like you couldn't see 2 inches in front of the car! A slow, but steady, pace would've been much better, less dangerous, and honestly faster.
Luckily, though, I didn't pass or see any accidents from the madness so at least there's that. If there was one, it happened behind me and I was unaware. But a few close calls near me for sure2 -

4/18 ~ 184.6 - 15,100 steps and 95 active minutes. Went for a beautiful 6k walk around a lake then a visit with the GDs they are so sweet. Easter dinner today and hopefully a good walk in. Hope everyone had a great round.
4/19 ~ 185.9 - 14,200 and 89. Got in a small walk and had a great dinner with family including dessert, chocolate and wine!! SO has gone off to work, looks like a few weeks so I should be able to get back to my lower weight soon. Just have to fight all this rain in the forecast. Oh so looking forward to sunny days.
4/20 ~ 186.6 - 17,600 and 118. Little unexplained jump up. My days have been like that the last few, not worried as I am still going in the right direction for calories and exercise. Got in a great walk yesterday in the pouring rain.
4/21 ~ 185.8 - 21,800 and 156. Long after work walk. NSV I have fit back into some of my spring clothes! Plus some of the clothes I've been wearing are a little too large. In the next few weeks I'll remove them from my closet. Scale reads are all over the place and I have a small road trip into Vancouver Thursday/Friday which I'm sure will effect my calorie intake and exercise but I am aware. The 170's are just going to take a few tries to get to, lol.

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.

/ none / Welp, this is a well-deserved kick in the teeth. Easter dinner was AMAZING. My contribution was a spiral cut ham on the smoker with lots of “value added,” like maple syrup with brown sugar-based meat rub between every layer. I ate too much of that plus twice baked potatoes, green bean casserole, corn pudding, dinner rolls, strawberry rhubarb pie, etc. etc. (did I mention Easter candy?)
So, today’s reading is not totally me. It includes all the above and significant water retention.
Happy Monday all!

Day/Weight/Comment
04/16 …..201.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
04/17 …..203.4 ….. (Trend weight 201.5) A good day yesterday dietary-wise. However, day 2 of no TMI and a serious lack of steps yesterday. Gotta burn what you eat!
04/18 …..204.8 ….. Trend weight 201.8) Did someone say Easter Dinner?
04/19 …..199.2 ….. (Trend weight 201.5) We went out for Easter Dinner and to see the Easter Bunny and find eggs with DGS #4 because of a lack of kitchen during my reno. I felt like I ate a normal amount and did not even finish. Yesterday (Monday) I was so swollen in my calves and ankles and stomach that I was miserable. I pushed water and only got in my 250 steps 3 times out of 13 on my fitbit. Barely over 3000 steps for the day. On the couch all day with headache and miserable uncomfortable swelling. My doctor recently gave me a water pill to help aid my heart until I see the cardiologist June 1st. It is prescribed to take 2-3 times a week which is why I sometimes feel my weight will go up & down. I took the pill yesterday and those steps are from going back & forth potty. I also took a magnesium pill to help with TMI because it had been a few days. Both worked. Imagine my shock to see over 5 ½ pounds down overnight when I was so immobile! Glad to see it under 200! I feel much better today but I’m starving and my body wants to make up for the lesser amounts of food yesterday. I’ll choose wisely.
04/20 …..200.8 ….. (Trend weight 201.5) I think this is my weight and body adjusting after such a large drop on the scale yesterday. While I’m not happy with this number, it does feel correct and right.
04/21 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
04/22 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
04/23 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

SW: 199.6 on 4/12
Goals: Lose some weight in 10 days. Even if it’s 0.2 ounces. Weight lifting and closing my rings daily is my goal. Along with averaging a deficit each week!
This is my first round. I will weigh on 4/26. Weighing everyday drives me nuts! I lost 52 pounds over 3 years, but I’ve gained 25 back :-/. Time to get serious about getting it back off!
4/17 - Easter celebrations! 1922 calories, closed activity rings
4/18 - Back on track! 1678 calories, closed activity rings
4/19 - 1794 calories, closed activity rings. Need a little less calories to be in a deficit but don’t want to deprive to the point of wanting to binge.
4/20 - Going to try for a lower calorie day. Around 1500 calories Is my goal today. Missed my morning workout, but I plan to hit the gym after work.

OSW-187 Sept. 2018. Thank you @quiltingjaine !!!!!💚
GW-149
4/20-168-Seeing the repercussions of Easter and the leftovers. Today will be better as we get back to normal eating. I have been quilting a quilt top that my friends grandmother made years ago and am really taking my time. The sun is shining, I need to touch up the garden weeds and finish putting the Easter stuff away I used. I have it all one one table, so I don’t have to run all over the house; it all goes down the hall.
Glad to be back with all of you.8
