Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 197

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 197 ( my 129th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
Goal this round again is to lose. We go on holiday in 2 1/2 weeks! No binges, keep within calories & macros.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.

SW: 138.4
Day/Weight/Comment
8/25 138.4 - 12.71 miles walked, 50% exercise calories eaten back.
8/26 138.8 – No structured exercise yesterday, took little DGS out to a wildlife park, lots of walking but mostly pushing stroller & forgot to put Fitbit on ankle (doesn't count steps on wrist whilst pushing!), also he did a lot of walking himself – at very slow pace.
I need to get my food addiction under control; it's totally starting to take over my life again & getting of that spiral is difficult. There is not even any reason for this - I am blessed with my life & family being rosey at the moment & we are looking forward to our first holiday abroad since 2019 in 16 days. Come on Phyl, take control, sort yourself out !!!
8/27 137.6 - pleased with that number, treated yesterday as a reset day & totally had perfect , eating feel much better with myself & caught up with sleep. No structured walking as DH & I travelled 4 hours towing or caravan to the coast for a long bank holiday weekend. Aiming to be consistent through ready of round.
8/28 137.6 - lovely sunny day striking down to and along the beach and back to 13.29 miles, ¹/³ exercise calories eaten back.
8/29 138.2 - 9.89 miles, walked down to and then along the beach to meet up with family, had a glorious day playing in the sea and sand with all our little DGC (4), the youngest is now officially a toddler, how wonderful to see her toddling about instead of just crawling! They travelled up just to have a beach day with us, previous time to see them all growing up. Half exercise calories eaten back.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

8/29 - 158.5 - No hugs needed, I'm still bloated and retaining water from the disappointing lack of water at the concert. Drank a ton of water and tea yesterday and managed to avoid the sickness so far. It also could be from the Activa yogurt I had yesterday. Testing a theory on my lactose sensitivites. Yesterday was lazy and ended up with a carby dinner which didn't help the scale any. Today's dinner is smoked beer can chicken according to BF. I know I have corn on the cob and asparagus for sides this week so one of those I'm sure will be used. I will base lunch off what I have leftover from logging dinner. Trying to eat a smaller dinner and larger lunch, too, so I'm not so full by bed. Getting prepared for my workout now. Won't say 'ready' because I am not at all ready. Mondays are hard, mornings are hard, I'm still battling my dehydrated-headache from the weekend (though it has gotten significantly better since yesterday!) I'm sure the workout will help it along, too, but doesn't mean I'm excited to do it haha! Good news is, other than labs, I got a clean bill from the doc. I had to go get labs done after my appt and she's going to get me scheduled if anything is concerning or send a little notice by mail if all is good. She's also getting me some meds that will help with lactose sensitivities. The Activa was an experiment as she's had patients that say that helps them with the side effects of lactose intolerance better than the meds. I didn't get stomach cramps so it didn't react like other yogurts, but I need to try another time when I'm not bloated and food is controlled better to see if it causes the same bloating other yogurt does. All doc-approved experimentation! She's the absolute sweetest thing, too. I really am going to hate when they get a doc in as she's just a temporary stand in nurse practitioner as my old doc (he was wonderful, too) retired. Ok enough procrastinating this workout. 20 minutes (5 min warmup, 5 min cooldown, 10 min hard row) and see if I have time for some yoga after is on the exercise menu for this morning. Then catching up on a long weekend of posts!

Previous Day's Comments8/25 - All I can think of for the tick up is that there was a small portion of baked beans included in dinner. I was 480 calories under, 395 of them from exercise (and didn't under eat, total cals for the day were 1455). I fasted until around noon. Drank about 100oz water. I did say that it seemed if I sneezed wrong I gained. Last evening I was drinking my water when a sudden unexpected sneeze shot that water straight out my nose... At least it was just water. But I did gain. Hmmmm, maybe I'm on to something here... Found out that I will likely be traveling the week of Sept 19th to my work's HQ in Kansas. I'm working on preparing what I can do for food/exercise while I'm there. Plans not set in stone (few days vs full week, where I'm staying, etc). The hotels closest to the HQ both have fitness centers so hoping I can get into one of those. They are both within a mile of HQ so if weather cooperates, it's even walking distance for extra movement! I have a feeling food will be the challenge but that's why I'm trying to plan 3 weeks in advance: cover all my bases!
8/26 - From celebratory dinner (sodium fest) and champagne! Fam closed on their first house yesterday!! I'm rather shocked the scale didn't betray me more but I don't feel as bloated and heavy as I expected to this morning, either. Woke up at 5:15 feeling really bleh so I turned off my alarms and woke naturally at 6:30. Since I don't have work today and BF doesn't get up until 8 and start work until 9, I have plenty of time to knock out the rowing workout this morning despite sleeping in a tad. Doc appointment in the late afternoon and then picking up my last photo print from the family photos (canvas one should arrive next week via shipping). Not much else planned. Not sure about posting this weekend so concert tomorrow night in town for me while Fam and BF go out of town for their fantasy football draft. This weekend is the county fair so tentatively planning to see the horse races Sunday with everyone. Should be plenty of activity but need to watch intake! EDIT: 20 minutes. 4 rounds of 4 min on 1 min recovery. Whew. Sweaty mess, good thing I have time to shower before heading to doc's
8/27 - DNP
8/28 - Went to the fair with Fam and Godkids Friday evening. Poor Goddaughter had the stomach bug her mama had Tuesday. Unfortunately, yesterday BF got it and was down for the count. He ended up quitting the fantasy football league all together (He and Fam were talking this was their last year anyway) but was still too sick for the concert. It was a great time but couldn't even get water and it was an outdoor venue (hello sweaty mess). Great activity levels, but I'm bloated and holding on to water like crazy right now. I bought some liquid IV went I went to the store for saltines and soup yesterday. Been chugging my water all day after waking up with a bottle of liquid IV to replenish today in hopes tomorrow doesn't look too horrible on the scale and my workout doesn't suffer. Unsure dinner but I'm going to research something I can throw together that isn't too hard on BF's tummy. I'm still okay but I was around Goddaughter and BF with it so I'm not holding on a lot of hope of avoiding it. Just trying to boost myself as much as possible in hopes its not as horrible as they had it (at least I have forewarning and already got all the things needed to get through it!). Here's to a new week and hopefully one without sickness!

8/29 - 136.2 🤦🏻♀️ I failed to track the whole time we were out of town and only fasted for 16 hours a couple of days. Definitely overindulged at the wedding and beyond. Worse, DH and I caught some respiratory funk. So far testing negative on rapids but there is something brewing in our bodies for sure. Blah. Anyway today I’m going to walk the dogs and hopefully do some other workouts depending on how my return to work goes. I’m so relieved that we made it through all of our August travel. September seems like it’s going to be an uneventful month in our house. I haven’t caught up on everyone’s posts yet but hopefully will read through today. Glad to be back!!

Day/Weight/Comment
8/25: 300 ⬆️ (+0.8 oz) I had some peanuts last night that were too salty. I believe this was the reason for the increase. Luckily, it's only a small one.
8/26: 302.2 ⬆️ (+2.2 lbs) This is definitely my fault!
8/27: 298.6 ⬇️ (-3.6 lbs) Finally lost what I gained and now I'm just below challenge start weight. I'm heading in the right direction now. 😀
8/28: DNW (Rest day)
8/29: 295 ⬆️ (-3.6 lbs) Part of this loss is probably water. (Daily calorie 1,600 and I eat most of those calories.)
Ate pretty healthy yesterday, and stayed under calories. Wasn't able to finish dinner last night, because it filled me up before I had done with the meal. Had a type of Mediterranean stir-fry (vegetables, beans, and eggs, with chicken breast strips, in a light creamy basil spinach pesto sauce- no rice or pasta.) It was good.

Here’s to a successful new round for all!
8/26 - 178
I had an appt with a new internist today. Went well, and I like her. My bp is up slightly, so I’m motivated now to lose some pounds in the next 4 months to lower it (among other reasons) before my follow-up-on-tests appointment.

Whaaa??? Ok, whatever. Salt maybe. I did have some ice cream, but my total calories were still below goal. Have a great Saturday!

Beautiful morning here, and I’m off for a walk with Rory, my pup. It’s soup day—I’ve made a different soup every Sunday since the start of the year—so I’m trying to figure out which new recipe to try today. Fun! Enjoy your day, all.
8/29 - 178.2
Soup last night was zucchini and corn chowder—I used creamed corn and cut WAY back on the half & half the recipe called for, making calories per serving less than 200. It was delicious. But I did overdo it with snacks later. I don’t know why I get into crazy binges of meaningless food. We don’t keep any junk food in the house, but even so, I can find calories to ingest. Luckily I’m doing it less frequently, so there’s that. Ok, off to teach my competition obedience class and train my pupper. Have a great Monday!

Too late to edit original post.... Again.
Workout was WAAAAY harder than I thought. Those 10 minutes were a super challenge, got my heart rate up higher than the 20 minute interval workouts I did last week, and had me sweating like crazy. I do love the videos I do that are 20 minutes including warm up and cool down for mornings like today when I just cannot motivate myself to move. Click play and follow along, it's all included. Even better today was harder than expected because unless it's injury related or I can't breathe at all, I won't quit once I've started.
Also got in a nice Yoga With Adriene gut health 17 min practice. I find those actually do help when I'm bloated and I can feel my insides moving and shifting things around. Hoping TMI will make an appearance here soon. Coffee should assist that, too.
Also, I was right. Workout cleared that headache right up! I'm at my desk with my 30oz water cup (lemon infused water), a small cup of my Nuun immunity drink (still have a sliver of hope to not get sick!) and my coffee with collagen protein. ALL THE LIQUIDS! Be gone, bloat. We are breaking up for good. I hope.4 -

8/16: 172.2 not sure if this is from not drinking enough yesterday, or if it's because i've already eaten scrambled eggs and tomatoes
8/17: 172.2, 171.4, 171.2 take your pick. these are the options my scale gave me all within 1/2 hours time with no variable. do the spring scales do the same thing? ...back on topic....ate a maintain amount of calories yesterday, but it was high in carbs (ramen noodles). i did get to finally go for my walk! not as epic as the exclamation point implies. it was just a mile, but weight loss rate.
8/18: 171.2 good calories, good macros, and a good 2 mile walk
8/19: 171
8/20: 170.4 since i usually weigh myself before i eat, and i have already eaten today this weight is probably just more nonsense my scale is spitting out.
8/21: 171 over calories yesterday even with getting my walk in. seems like i do this at least once every challenge and always promise to correct myself.
8/22: 171.2 very disappointed with how i'm doing this round. reading my notes back, i should have been expecting such a poor result.
8/23: 172 i'm fine with this weight. i'm probably the same weight as yesterday. i usually weigh myself wearing my exercise (running shorts/shirt) clothes. today i'm wearing a t-shirt and and sweats which i'm sure weigh more. this will be my last post for this round. i will be taking off for almost a week. i'll be posting this in the new challenge, so i can find it easily upon my return. sure hope i can behave myself without having a scale to weigh food, or a scale to weigh myself.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/25: 132.5 - Hmm, I seem to always start the rounds pretty well. Yesterday was a good day of workouts and good eating. Still need to work out getting to bed earlier.
8/26: 132.9 - A little bit of late night eating…
8/27: 134.0 - Yikes! We had nothing in the house to eat so we ended up getting falafel salad takeout. Got both my workouts in.
8/28: 132.9 - I don’t feel like I ate particularly well, but a lot of it was nibbles here and there. Got both my workouts in and slept in quiet late today.
8/29: 132.9 - Neighborhood block party/potluck that was well attended. Got to meet many of the new families that have moved in recently. Today will be prepping for a dinner party that we’re having tomorrow at our house. House is in good shape, so mainly figuring out what food I need to get ready for and what my refrigerator/freezer can actually hold!

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 almost 5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

8/25 - 161 - 21,400/143. Need a good sleep.
8/26 - 161.1 - 19,000/112. Surprise attack on the big city and the weather has turned cold ish. Hope to get lots of walking in and maybe some shopping. Dinner with my brother a couple times. I did well yesterday was hoping for a good scale read. Oh well I’m destined to get there!! Maybe I’ll use his scale but it’ll be after meals, coffees and possible treats & wine!
8/27 - DNW - 20,000/83. Found a scale for yesterday. Not a good sleep at all. Time to get up and find some coffee. Hope for lots of walking.
8/28 - DNW - 15,100/54 - Bought a size 8 Lulu pants and a size 6 Jacket. It's possible that I purchased the jacket because of that 6.
8/29 - 163.7 -15.600/50: Busy weekend got home at a good time and did laundry and a clean up. Didn't plan meals well and ate a small bowl of salt water taffy, just kept eating them. So had a higher calorie day then usual. A couple lbs up due to wine and more carbs then usual plus that taffy incident. Back on plan today and I am fine with this I will enjoy special times out and a cocktail here and there. I ... JUST ... HAVE ... TO .... REALIGN ... AFTER.

Goal this round: -3 lbs
8/25 - Did not weigh - My husband and I booked a trip to Disney and we will be leaving on Oct. 15!
8/26 - Did not weigh - Not fully committed, but realized I needed to start working towards a healthier weight.
8/27 - 196.8 - Let's do this! Committing to working out 3-4x a week & making healthier choices
8/28 - 195.2 - I had eaten a pretty heavy meal Friday (8/26) night so I’m sure that is why I dropped so much between yesterday and today!
8/29 - 195.4 - it is hard for me to make healthier choices. Plus I am sick so I’m not working out right now.

I did not earn this. I’ll take it for all the times I earned a drop I did not get. The good thing about starting today a bit bloated, is that if I focus on calories and steps, I could get all the way to the 130’s by tomorrow.
8/28 140.3(-.8)
Back to where I was a week ago. I had a flue all week that just made me exhausted and sugar craving. I did not keep up with my steps or my calories

Hooray! A new decade! Round Goal!
Finally feeling like myself again. Got 13k steps and only 8 calories over.

I have done this challenge before and it really helped keep me on track to healthy living. I have since gained most of that weight back (and then some) but I'm not discouraged. I am a 21-year old varsity college athlete who is just looking to lean up a bit - taking small goals at a time as weight-loss isn't my goal - just trying to lean myself into a healthier lifestyle.Round 146: -5.1lbs

8/26: 188.4 - wondering if I'm entering too large of a deficit to lose, finding it difficult as I burn around 1,000 calories during training camp a day to eat enough to even come close to a -250 cal deficit, it's always usually around -1000 cal
8/27: 187.6 - finally dipped back down to that number I saw in the last challenge... now the goal is to maintain it

08/29 -196.6- (Trend weight 199.8) Wow, what an overnight drop! Water pill yesterday has relieved my ankles. TMI today finally. Very very scary low blood pressures again last night which lead me to pushing water very late in case it was dehydration after the pill. Hardly any sleep, up all night with #1. So I wonder how accurate this weight is due to dehydration. Today is my doctor appoint with family doctor for after- surgery follow-up and glucose A1C check. Son’s appointment also. Appt is local but we may travel afterward, not sure yet. If so, I will definitely try to hang on to as much of this loss as possible.

8/27 / 163.4 / After an exhausting week at work, I'm at the lake relaxing for the weekend. Husband and I had a lovely campfire last night. I am going to pressure wash the outside of our trailer today.
8/28 / 163.4 / Pressure washing the trailer and our outside deck and furniture got me almost 6K steps and then I took my dog for a walk. Husband made ribs for us and our neighbors for dinner so I had late breakfast and then saved up for that meal. It was tasty!
8/29 / 164 / Rode the Peloton after work and it felt really good after a crappy work day.

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 197 ( my 129th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
Goal this round again is to lose. We go on holiday in 2 1/2 weeks! No binges, keep within calories & macros.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.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/25 138.4 - 12.71 miles walked, 50% exercise calories eaten back.
8/26 138.8 – No structured exercise yesterday, took little DGS out to a wildlife park, lots of walking but mostly pushing stroller & forgot to put Fitbit on ankle (doesn't count steps on wrist whilst pushing!), also he did a lot of walking himself – at very slow pace.
I need to get my food addiction under control; it's totally starting to take over my life again & getting of that spiral is difficult. There is not even any reason for this - I am blessed with my life & family being rosey at the moment & we are looking forward to our first holiday abroad since 2019 in 16 days. Come on Phyl, take control, sort yourself out !!!
8/27 137.6 - pleased with that number, treated yesterday as a reset day & totally had perfect , eating feel much better with myself & caught up with sleep. No structured walking as DH & I travelled 4 hours towing or caravan to the coast for a long bank holiday weekend. Aiming to be consistent through ready of round.
8/28 137.6 - lovely sunny day striking down to and along the beach and back to 13.29 miles, ⅓ exercise calories eaten back.
8/29 138.2 - 9.89 miles, walked down to and then along the beach to meet up with family, had a glorious day playing in the sea and sand with all our little DGC (4), the youngest is now officially a toddler, how wonderful to see her toddling about instead of just crawling! They travelled up just to have a beach day with us, previous time to see them all growing up. ½ exercise calories eaten back.
8/30. 138.2 - 17.03 miles walked ! Earned my first Fitbit Cleats badge for walking 40K steps, down to the beach, on to the coastal path and headed off to Scarborough and back. Under ¼ exercise calories eaten back, disappointed no movement on the scales, but I'll be patient!

SW: 196.8
Goal this round: -3 lbs
8/25 - Did not weigh - My husband and I booked a trip to Disney and we will be leaving on Oct. 15!
8/26 - Did not weigh - Not fully committed, but realized I needed to start working towards a healthier weight.
8/27 - 196.8 - Let's do this! Committing to working out 3-4x a week & making healthier choices
8/28 - 195.2 - I had eaten a pretty heavy meal Friday (8/26) night so I’m sure that is why I dropped so much between yesterday and today!
8/29 - 195.4 - it is hard for me to make healthier choices. Plus I am sick so I’m not working out right now.
8/30 - 193.8
