Day/Weight/Comment
10/24: 134.5 - another travel day, but arrived home to weigh. Not sure how accurate it was since it was later in the day.
10/25: 134.5 - Today begins recovery from 2.5 weeks of vacation where I really didn’t count any calories and probably ate my weight in carbs, desserts, fried foods, etc. Got some good exercise in, but there were too many rest days or travel days that made exercising hard.
10/26: 132.3 - Super surprised. I got a lot of exercise/move points in, but had a full-on carb binge in the evening.
10/27: 132.5 - Back to my routines…
10/28: 132.5 - Same ‘ol, same ‘ol…
10/29: 134.9 - Yikes! Did not exercise nor did I drink much water. Carb city as well…
10/30: 134.9 - Better with exercise, eating and water.
10/31: 133.6 - Got my workouts in and ate pretty well yesterday
11/1: 134.0 - Workouts completed, but did not particularly watch what I ate.
11/2: 132.9 - Did pretty well yesterday, but need to try harder to not eat after 8pm.

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

Day/Weight/Comment
10/24 208
10/25 208 do I see a pattern here? Lol. At least it’s a good pattern.
10/26 208 maybe my scale is broken? Lol
10/27 206.4 keep the faith
10/28 205.4 good things come to those who wait
10/29 206.2 it’s all good!
10/30 206.6 woke up early, weighed early
10/31 206.4
11/1 206.8 😐
11/2 206.8

So it’s a loss. A small loss, but a loss. And lots of small battles won add up to winning a war. I WILL win the war against overweight.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/23 …..202.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
10/24 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW)

10/25 -199.8- (Trend weight 200.5)

10/26 -200.4- (Trend weight 200.5)

10/27 -200.0- (Trend weight 200.5)

10/28 -200.4- (Trend weight 200.5)

10/29 -201.4- (Trend weight 200.5)

10/30 -199.8 (Trend weight 200.5) I did yardwork from noon until 6:30 pm which left little time to eat and offered a lot of calorie burn. I needed it in order to dip back into Onederland. I’ll be burning leaves most of the day today. Travel tomorrow for appt 4 out of 5 at dentist.

10/31 -197.8- (Trend weight 200.2) All the yardwork is catching up. Woot Woot! Travel today. I do not intend on taking two steps back after taking my step forward!

11/01 -199.8- (Trend weight 200.2) Was it the travel weight, the Halloween candy, or the 3 hours of sleep last night? Moving forward, but remembering in the Book of Psalms that it says in part “My life is continually in my hands……”

11/02 -198.0- (Trend weight 199.9) This ended up being a good round for me. I lost 4 pounds total. What I really appreciate is that my trend weight is below 200 now. My fat % is ready to dip into a new decade and there are slight improvements in my BMI. I’ve got to try to stay on the path and not deviate. I hate going back and forth above and below the 200 pound mark. I’ve got to make up my mind already, am I doing this or not? This was a good round for so many, even with Halloween upon us and all the candy lurking in the shadows. Good job to everyone who stayed with it and gave it what they could. See you all tomorrow. Thanks Jaine for the personal note and the challenges!

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

👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE👍👍 Round 203
I am working to lower my blood pressure through diet and exercise.

SW: 145.2
Day/Weight/Comment
10/24: 145.2 Started back to the gym! No snacking or wine 🍷. Yay me!
10/25: 144.8. My daily step count is going up this week.
10/26: 144.5
10/27: 143. Love it when my rings feel looser!

10/29: travel
10/30: travel
10/31: travel
11/1: 143.9. Not bad considering I ate out three times in the last three days!
11/2. 143.9. Baby steps in the correct direction. Managed to only have one evening snack during these 10 days, and that was because of travel. A couple of social drinks only, so again, huge improvement. BP is down slightly, but still need to keep that my focus.

SW: 204.4 (Used to be 245, got down to 172, then it edged back up (220s ) and has been bouncing around since.

Day/Weight/Comment

10/24 - 204.4 Been doing pretty much everything I can think of to make the weight come off instead of creeping up and it's been working, kindof. Meal planning starting this week making my cico stricter. Went walking at lunch even though didn't want to as was windy. Round 203 is another first to add to accountability.
10/25 203.4 At Costco during my lunch. Had eaten my am/lunch food all at breakfast, bought a bag of Cauliflower bits and finished it off. Finding it difficult to stick with my plan; need more bulk and crunch. And to sloooww down. Will roast carrots tonite to add in.
10/26 205.8 Sodium bloating I believe. Again at Costco.
10/27 207.0 Turning this around, have to control myself instead of sabotaging. I've been meal planning, and not enough there.
10/28 207.8 So upset with myself. I worked so much to get the wt down and cutting loose. Let it go! So this weekend hydrate & hydrate. I'm exercising+, going to bed earlier+, following through at work+. It's the pm at home. Today have a hs football game and going to a game tomorrow night. Plan ahead and get back on track, this is for ME.
10/29 211.0 Think it was the burrito last night that again is too much sodium. aaah
10/30 206.0 Ate sparingly on the 29th and some of the bloat came off. Sunday is my relax and catch up day, but was headachey from the last night. Haven't been following a routine this whole thing.
10/31 207.8 Drank the green smoothie, walked at lunch and went to the gym this am. Drinking water, and going to bed early tonite. Feel like this 10 day has been a wash, but going to look at it as a practice. I can do better.
11/01 206.8 No candy opened & no sabotage yesterday. Mind is in a better place. Mindful!
11/02 203.8 Stuck with it all day yesterday and almost back to where I was a week ago. Now to keep sticking with it. I am worth it!

10/25: 282.8.
10/26: 281.4. Wow...I might hit 280 before the end of October. Never saw that coming.
10/27: 280.4. I think I'm a little dehydrated so most of this is water weight loss. Expecting to see a bump up over the next few days.
10/28: 278.6. Apparently I was wrong. Not really sure what's going on.
10/29: 278.2. Heading to Vegas on vacay today, bringing a travel scale with to keep myself accountable lol.

10/24 211. A little surprised since yesterday was a good day with lots of exercise.
10/25 210.8 I look at the scale and think just .2 is all? But then I think great how can I do this every day? That would be 73 pounds in a year, 6 pounds in a month, and 2 pounds in a round. Wow, what a little bit every day could accomplish.

11/1 209.8 Finally back under 210! No Halloween candy yesterday and only one little homemade sweet treat. Also got a walk in.
11/2 209.8. I’m happy with that.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take
time, effort, and most of all, patience!

I am about 8 kg along the way to lose 32 kg. I use multiple tape measurements (cm) around my body because they aren't affected by salt intake. My weight has been dropping for 5 months, although I had a blip of 6 weeks when I headed in the wrong direction. Apparently I've been trying to lose weight since September 2012, the last time I was at goal weight. Let's see if stopping eating sugary food is going to change things.

Heaviest ever 1st Jan 2021, goal+31.8 kg

Previous rounds

Round 200 820 cm

Total is 799.5 cm, a loss from the previous round

How this round went: I changed gyms and I'm now using the treadmill because the elliptical is too easy. I'm starting at 1 minute on the first of November, and increasing that by one minute a day. It's pretty short right now but a small duration is better than nothing. My eating was 7,200 kJ average per day and I'm hoping to get that down to 6000 kJ per day. Still having sugar. I had 9 half cm losses this round which I'm happy with. I just want to keep at an average of 6,000 kJ per day and slowly increase the exercise. I'm hoping to get rid of the sugar starting this week.

@cory17 - what an excellent mantra "I am worth it!" I'm going to take that forward into the next round !!! Thank you for that.

Round 203
October 24 - November 2, 2022

Please join us starting on 10/24 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 203!

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👍👍

Day/Weight/Comment
11/02 …..198.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/03 -199.6- (Trend weight 199.9) Worked hard in the yard again yesterday and stayed in a calorie deficit so this is just the expected bloat from around my ankles and abdomen. Today is DD#2 birthday. She’s working today but we may have a small celebration tonight. I’ll watch it. I hate being (and staying) so close to the 200 mark even if a couple of pounds is usually the water retention. I hate starting this round feeling like I’ve got to battle just to get back to starting weight, even if I’m just battling the fluid build-up. I’ll try to stay positive and focus on the plusses. I do feel better in my clothes.
