Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 199

LB10001 · September 2022

I’d like to join you all for this round. During a visit to my GP yesterday (for something else entirely) she pointed out that I’m a bit heavier than I should be for my height. Of course I already knew this, but I’ve been lacking the willpower to do something about it. It surely can’t be a coincidence that this challenge is starting on the very day I’m looking for some extra motivation 😊

SW: 174.2 lbs (Jan 2022)

Day/Weight/Comment
9/14 170.8 lbs

9/15 169.8 lbs It was pouring with rain at lunchtime and I had a choice between going to a fitness/strength training class or sitting in my nice warm office and reading a book. Miraculously, the class won!

9/16 170.4 lbs Ate out at a Turkish restaurant last night after another medical appointment across town. I avoided the bread but did eat most of the fries because the garlic sauce was delicious. I’m probably safe from vampires for a while!

9/17 170.4 lbs Worked from home yesterday so had to make a conscious effort to get my steps in. Quite pleased that I managed to get to just over 15,000, as my step count can be woeful when I don’t walk to the office.

9/18 168.6 lbs Grocery shopping and chores got me to 10,000 steps so I spent the rest of the afternoon crocheting xmas decorations (I’m slow, so I’m starting early).

9/19 167.8 lbs Went for a 7 mile walk early yesterday morning, and it definitely feels like autumn is in the air here. Collected some windfall walnuts on the way – those will be saved for some lovely blue cheese salads.

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 199( my 131st). Thanks again @QuiltingJaine.

The whole of this round I am away abroad on holiday; no scales. I am trying to choose food wisely, portion control & restrict adult beverages to no more than 2 or 3 per day in an effort to refrain from too much of a gain 🤞.

Day/Weight/Comment

9/14 - 150.5
9/15 - 150 - I've been working really hard to get at least 10,000 steps in a day the past couple weeks. That includes joining our county metroparks hiking spree and walking in place at my desk. It has not helped with my weight loss as much as I would have liked, but I am really enjoying getting the extra movement in my daily life.
9/16 - 149.5 - Husband and I walked a 2 mile moderate trail yesterday evening. I am feeling it in my legs this morning. It is a good feeling though.
9/17 - 150 - I had 2 small pieces of pizza last night, so I'm assuming this is sodium. We're planning another hike for today.
9/18 - 150.5 - Went hiking yesterday and got in my 10,000 steps. I've logged all my food this week and have stayed within my weight loss ranges. This has to be more sodium from the steak we had last night. Nothing to do but keep trying. We're going to our local zoo this morning to take a mile and a half walk and check out the animals.
9/19 - 149.5 - After the zoo yesterday, I took two more walks at my local park to get in my steps.

Please join us starting on 9/14 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 199

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.

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE👍👍

ROUND 197-SW 172, ROUND 198 -SW 170.4

9/4: 170.4 this is the weight i have to report on today. i wish it was higher (dang scale) so when i report next sunday it would look like a loss. there's a neighborhood cookout today. gonna try to stay away from the carbs. and the mixed drinks... good gosh, when i get together with these people they'll always hand me something and say "one little (insert food/drink here) isn't going to hurt ya." i can overcome "one little", but they don't seem to understand there's 30 of them! that's too many "one little's"!

9/5: 169.8 did not log meals yesterday because of the cookout. 99% of the food was especially bad for someone dieting. there was a charcuterie board that had a little corner of strawberries, everything else high fat/high carbs/high calories. my little dip in weight is probably from mega stress i've been trying to deal with which slammed my emotions hard yesterday. this morning the coping skills back in check. i haven't been able to go for walks for some time now. Dr. tells me it's sciatica, but i've had constant pain for over a year now. the pain flares up to a point that i just don't want to move at all. taking anti inflammatory and muscle relaxers is not helping, and my follow-up is not until the 29th. i may end up trying to see him again sooner.

9/6: 169.2 have to take an unexpected trip for a few days. i hopefully should be back before this challenge ends.

9/7:

9/9:

9/10:

9/11: 168.2 only visited the scale once today, so that's probably not a valid weight. i'm expecting it to be higher once i get back into my regular routine. they had a spring/analog scale where i was at, and it said i was 170. probably more accurate.

9/12: 169.8 another invalid weight. it's afternoon, i've already eaten, and i'm fully dressed. it's an encouraging weight also though, because i've broken all my rules for weigh in and i'm still below 170!

ROUND 199
SW: 167.8

Day/Weight/Comment

9/14: 167.8 went 300 cal. over my weight loss, but remained in my maintain. also, went on a chocolate binge last night. feeling pretty guilty about that. i did drink plenty of water, which probably accounts for the loss.

9/15: 166 macros looked like i was practicing keto yesterday. cheeseburgers scheduled for lunch today, with the buns, so i'm expecting a gain. plenty of water.

9/16: 166.2 i need to develop better coping skills. went over in calories by 200

09/17 -198.4- (Trend weight 199.0)

09/18 -195.4- (Trend weight 198.6) I had a very good day with diet choices. Worked hard going thru closets and drawers throughout the house (not done yet), but I am still surprised at the drop. No water pill yesterday, no TMI this morning or any other “helpful” things. I think I was very low on water yesterday while I was so busy. Could be a bit of dehydration as it was all coffee and very little water. I guess we shall see. So hungry this morning, typical after a drop. Come to think of it, I did hit 6 hours of sleep last night which is phenomenal for me.

09/19 -197.8- (Trend weight 198.5) Hmph….Best day in a long time. Dietary was perfect. Added some exercise yesterday including a hike along the river with my son. I didn’t understand the big drop yesterday so I suppose this big increase today is a balancing of the books. I did about half my usual hike. When I got to the biggest hill I had to turn around as my breathing was already labored. But it felt great to get out in the woods and on the trail. I would push water today but when I do it just pools at my ankles and doesn’t help the scale. But it does help with my frequent hydration so……. Choices, choices.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/14- 128.8. 💪🏻✏️⏱ Third day at this weight. I have been SO hungry for the past few days. Not sure if it’s the changing weather, adjusting my calorie goal down, or what. But I’m proud of myself for stopping eating at 7:30 yesterday. I wanted to eat everything in the house. Hoping to be less hungry today. So far so good.
9/15 - 128.8. 💪🏻✏️⏱ 🚫 4th day at this weight but it isn't surprising. I am wanting to eat everything. I need to make some more satisfying food choices.
9/16 - 129.2. 💪🏻✏️⏱ Not surprised. I've been pretty much breaking even every day calorie-wise. I don't know why. I guess my body is really wanting to get back to its set point. It was easy for a while but now that I'm getting closer to goal it's getting harder every day. Today is really rough otherwise because my youngest is home from daycare. He threw up overnight but seems fine other than some snot, so at least our weekend won't be impacted much as long as he stays the course. I had a productive day at work yesterday so at least I was kind of sort of caught up!
9/17 - 129.2 💪🏻
9/18 - 133.6 💪🏻✏️⏱
9/19 - 132.4. Fell off the wagon for the whole weekend basically. Gotta get back on track today!

@deepwoodslady You said “So hungry this morning, typical after a drop.”

Could this just be a brain game and you THINK you should be hungry, rather than actually BEING hungry?

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.

9/14 119.0 Finally TMI relief after several days of stress but I ate a small churro with OMAD. Post op doc for DH this morning.
9/15 120.0 We went to Great Greek yesterday. I ate 1/4 pita. Talked with daughter about gluten, she and both of her girls have tried to eliminate it due to the inflammation and bloating. Since I avoid bread in general, I guess I have also pretty much eliminated gluten.
9/16 119.0 Brunch with DD#1 and my BFF. DD flew home last night arriving at her car at about 10:30 then driving almost an hour home.
9/17 119.0 (Somehow I skipped my personal diary entry)
9/18 118.0 Hello 118! Nice to see you again. Today will probably be Great Greek as we have become “one” of the Sunday Regulars and the manager worries about us if we don’t show up. We went to Walmart and Sprouts yesterday.
9/19 119.5 Great Greek yesterday DH played pinocle, today he plans to go to Tripoley. I’m making a rotisserie chicken for dinner and my BFF is going to enjoy that with us.

@quiltingjaine No. Definitely hungry after a big scale drop. Body trying to sustain weight when I'm trying to lose. How dare it!!!! LOL. I also wake up so hungry if I've eaten too late. Seems like I'd be full still but it's the opposite. I just ignore it and enjoy my coffee. The liquid helps fill me up and allows me to IF, sometimes for a long time, sometimes for a few extra hours (it depends if my sugar drops when I'm not eating.). I love breakfast foods but tend to have them more for dinner. I'm not big on cooking or eating the minute I get up!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/14: 131.4 - Normal workouts and packed most of my calories at the end of the day (not intentional). Stayed up reading way too late, so not that much sleep. I was supposed to get my Covid booster shot today, but the pharmacy cancelled saying they hadn’t received any doses yet. Trying to get it done in time before we travel in October.
9/15: 132.1 - Ended up getting my booster shot when my husband went in for his shot. They were nice enough to squeeze me in. He must not have any side-effects since I hear him exercising right now. I, on the other hand, am doing my best impression of a slug.
9/16: 132.1 - Was down and out all day yesterday with a slight fever and aches so didn’t get any exercise in. Wasn’t all that hungry either until evening. Feeling much better today.
9/17: 131.8 - Another skipped day of working out. I can’t remember the last time I didn’t do any workouts 2 days in a row. Back at it though this morning.
9/18: 131.8 - Back on track again. Got my workouts in, good eating and pretty good sleep. My goal is to keep this up the rest of the round before we head off backpacking when things won’t be as routine.
9/19: 131.4 - Only did Jazzercise in the morning but did not get my walk in since it was raining off and on here. Eating choices were limited since we were in desperate need of a trip to the grocery store. I don’t usually like to go on the weekends to avoid the crowds, but we didn’t have a single thing green left in the refrigerator other than herbs. Luckily, unbeknownst to me, the local NFL football team was playing at the same time I went to Trader Joe’s, so it wasn’t too crowded. :-)

Day/Weight/Comment

9/14 217.0 Hi everyone! I’m so glad to be back – I missed y’all. The last two months have been incredibly stressful and busy both at work and at home, and something had to give…unfortunately it ended up being these daily check-ins. But I did stay on plan most of the time, and I’m proud of that. Meals for today are planned and logged, and I’ll work out before handbell rehearsal tonight.
9/15 215.8 Surprising drop considering I barely slept last night, but I’ll take it. We are going on a Mediterranean cruise in late October for our 30th anniversary and I’m aiming for 210 by then. Don’t know if I’ll make it or not, but I’m going to give it my best shot. Meals for today are planned and logged, and I’m going to move my workout to lunchtime in hopes it gives me energy to get through the afternoon. ‘Cause I’m kinda dragging, not gonna lie.
9/16 216.8 Unsurprising. Had a couple of drinks at happy hour with a friend last night and ate dinner really late. Plus I skipped yesterday’s workout. Happy Friday!

9/19 217.4 It wasn’t a good weekend. Got one workout in but that’s about the only good I have to say for it. I didn’t make positive choices and it caught up with me. Back on track, though. Catching up on posts from the weekend and drinking my water.

Day/Weight/Comment

9/13 - 177.4
I thought I’d see a drop as my calories were very low yesterday—I missed breakfast and didn’t eat much else due to feeling yucky from vaccines. Oh, the mysteries of weight loss!

9/14 - 177.6
I fell of the wagon a bit last night, but that’s ok, back on today. I was hungry. 😁 I just got back from a lovely “sniff walk” with my dog. It’s cool and lovely out.

9/15 - 177.8
Delayed reaction from Tuesday. No problem. Tonight’s my no dinner night because Rory & I will be at doggy school, so that will even out my daily calories. 😉 I’ll hope for a drop tomorrow.

9/16 - 177.8
Nope. But I was on target, so no sweat.

9/17 - 177.4
It’s a gorgeous Saturday and I have roses to plant. I’ve gone a bit rose crazy this summer—highly recommend Heirloom Roses! I’ve been ordering from them and am very happy with what they send! Anyway, mucking around in the garden keeps me from eating, so my report is relevant. 😁 Enjoy your day!

9/18 - 178
Darn it. Partly salt/water. Ok, onward.

9/19 - 177
