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!

Hi everyone, I’m Amanda. I did these 10 day challenges all through last summer and most of fall. I stopped due to some medical issues in November and I really missed it but just couldn’t swing it. Anyway, I’m back, having gained 5 pounds but still with the medical issue. So, I’m giving this a try again as this is the challenge that works the best for me!
Good luck to everyone!

Yesterday was a tough day medical wise and I really, really wanted to drown my sorrows in dark chocolate. After much internal debate I chose 1 Oz of dark chocolate and a strawberry smoothie. It did the trick but the chocolate would have too 🫤

@kristawatkins52 Wow, you’re handling so much! GREAT job on the not smoking. I think quitting smoking was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Are you using an app or anything for support?

Skyleen75 · January 2023

got care free in maintenance and the scale went up one lb at a time. Now I’m turning it around one lb at a time.

1/5 185.6 there is the Tuesday night eggnog! When ever I have anything with alcohol the next day my weight is affected by dehydration. It is the second day I see the actual result of the extra calories.
My exercise is on point and my eating is good. I just need to stop the “treat yo’ self” attitude that I get every few days that halts all progress.

GIVE ME 10 DAYS – ROUND 210

Round 210
January 2 - January 11, 2023

Hey all, I am 61 years old. Many of you here may remember me from my time here, Sept 2020 to March 2021. I stopped participating when I could not figure out what my role in a group is once I reach maintenance. I continued to lose a little more after and got down to a 30+ lb loss (153 to 121ish). Life happened. First we decided to sell our home of 28 years, and I only did limited damage, then my father broke his hip and my parents went to assisted living. Their home of over 50 years is still unable to be sold due to the contents, and they have a second home that I refuse to drive to until their primary home is done (as well as my own new home). Anyhow, I have neglected ME. 2023 needs to change that! While I am grateful that I did not get back to 153, I still can’t believe that I’ve “done it again”.

Started tracking yesterday. Exercise has not fit in yet, but it will. Traveling to Florida on the 4th. During round 212 I will have an additional change. I am getting Invisalign. Teeth have gone nuts in just the last year+, so yes, some is vanity, but I am very concerned structurally. I have heard there is a joke about the “Invisalign Diet” (you can’t eat with it in and even not supposed to drink other than water, yet you are supposed to keep it in 22 hours/day.)

First goal is to get back down to last winter’s high weight of 138.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/2 - 145.8 Yesterday, Jan 1 went well enough. I tracked the whole day. I did slightly overshoot my caloric goal, but everything was eaten intentionally. Feels weird not just eating randomly again…..

1/3 – 145.0 Another good tracking day though exercise did not fit in. But hopefully will have life in order to travel tomorrow. I am also starting to put into practice some of the habits I will need to adopt when I get my Invisalign in a couple weeks.

1/4 – 144.8 Ok so things are heading in the right direction. While I fully understand that these early losses are not per se “real”, they at least indicate that the choices I am making are correct.

1/5 – DWI No access to a scale this morning. Yesterday was travel day. Flew from Mass to Florida. This morning I am at MIL’s. In a few hours we continue on down to our own condo in the Keys. I will have a scale tomorrow AM. I did go over by target calories yesterday, but looking at my tracking, I am very happy with yesterday’s number.

1/05 - 165.5 - I have logged YET ANOTHER highest weight ever. I have no idea what's going on. I don't feel overly sore from my workout, I drank all my water (and then some), I logged all my food, even my little chocolate oopsie (I was at maintenance calories at most). Sodium? It isn't TOM, that I know. Went for evening walk with pup as BF was hungry early and we ate early enough to squeeze it in before dark. I got the most steps I've had since last summer! All the things and yet, I'm just increasing my "start weight" rather than decreasing my "lowest weight". Nothing I can do at this point but keep trying. Being upset is only going to make it harder so acceptance it is.

Previous Day's Comments

1/02 - Had wings yesterday with Fam and I know that always brings an uptick. Oh and I hit my highest weight EVER on New Years Eve.... joy. Apologies for not posting much, MFP decided that my account had been deactivated whenever I'd try to come on to post. But it wasn't deactivated on my phone as I was able to log in, log food, update progress (measurements and weight). Finally got it sorted out, though. Happy New Year, everyone! I'm not one for resolutions so I simply have my Nerd Fitness Anti-Challenge/Anti-Resolution. Its a 5 day program to set us up to NOT fail like most resolutions. And we are only making "resolutions" we have plans for by the end of this mini challenge (plans meaning: what to do when life gets in the way and we'd normally quit). I also have my new planner which has a place to note daily what you're grateful for, your mood, your self care (yes or no: food, movement, sleep, water, nutrition/supplements/vitamins) daily affirmations, dream journals, ritual/mindful minutes (meditation, morning rituals/bedtime rituals, etc), scripting (I'm scripting my day ahead what I hope/imagine it will be. Speaking good things into existence), 3-6-9 manifestation (learning more about that still), and 1 thing I did to move forward that day. In addition, I'm conveniently over my sinus infection as of Saturday so yesterday I woke up, took all my measurements, and got ready to start my FeelGood Plan (book) work. Week 1 is mostly just paying attention -- journal about sleep (when I went to bed, when I turned lights off, when I woke up, how I felt.), food (when I ate, how I felt right before/during/after eating. Log the food to start to see patterns, etc), and begin the 15 minute workout (provided bodyweight 3x week, Mon/Wed/Fri and choose 15 minutes of activity Saturday to get me moving, even if its just walking). I'm up super early today (430am!) but I went to bed super early last night and listened to my body. Instead of forcing myself back to sleep and oversleeping, I woke up and and I'm doing my morning ritual. I decided what I'm grateful for, wrote my affirmation, completed my dream journal (didn't remember anything, but can note down FeelGood Plan stuff), check in here, and then off to work out! Then coffee once it brews so I can sip that while scripting out my day. It's a day off work (not for BF) so I'm running errands and making dinner. Sorry so long! A lot to catch up on!
1/03 - Yay, a drop! I was mindful through the day with food because I knew the meal BF requested was NOT pretty. (Chicken bacon ranch stromboli. From scratch). I'm rather surprised I dropped this much eating that. I did, however, make a decision to take the pup for a much needed after dinner/before dark walk. By the time I got back, I had determined I didn't want any of the cheesecake I made (BF, who hates sweets, loves cheesecake. But he had only ever had strawberry swirl, which I made last week (better than the store-bought he had previously Win!) So now I experimented with a peanut butter cheesecake). I got in my FeelGood plan workout plus Yoga for Flexibility yesterday morning, as well. The NF Anti-Challenge yesterday was to change ONE thing - route to work to pass by gym, pack a gym bag, put yoga mat front and center rather than hiding in closet, etc. Also, to write down "emergency" workouts for when life happens (travel, time, not feeling it, etc). Today I already completed morning portion of planner and Yoga for Flexibility as my "stretch" day for FeelGood Plan. Time to get to work, I suppose! Goal: get up and move more frequently during the day!
1/04 - Cheesecake taste test last night. BF was right, too sweet. No more of that. Walked pup 1.5 miles before dinner. Today I'm cooking so not sure I'll fit in walk. I did squeeze in my FeelGood Plan workout in despite turning my alarm off when I meant to hit snooze! I slept (and dreamt) an extra 21 minutes. Guess I needed it! No room for yoga due to that debacle, but tomorrow is stretch/rest day and I can make it up. Dinner is beef stroganoff using the leftover ground beef we have. Ate 1/3rd kale salad for lunch today (plus roasted sweet potato), 1/3 will accompany dinner and 1/3 saved for tomorrow.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/2 / 179.8 / Yesterday was a great day across the board. I'm working on five habits in January and I checked all the boxes. My husband and I went for a really long walk and enjoyed the start of the New Year together. The dog was thankful too!
1/3 / 178.4 / First day back to work for 2023 was a success in terms of staying on track with my goals. I have some intentional choices to make tonight to stay on track, but I feel confident.
1/4 / 178.2 / Another good day, sticking with my habits and making it happen. Got on the Peloton tonight as well.
1/5 / 178.8 / My alarm was not welcomed today. Lunch out with colleagues will require good planning.

Just a few more days of vacation and really enjoying lots of time with the kids as I have had a really rough fall of working lots of OT. Will try and be more conscious to have a lighter dinner instead of all the second helpings and not indulge in late night movie snacks.
1/3-201.4 (so I joined the late night snacking challenge, and have been continuing the couch to 5k, and almost cried to see some progress. I have been battling depression eating since my dad passed away the day of the Capitol riots almost two years ago and haven’t been able to shake being consistent. Praying to be a healthier self with consistency and lifestyle change. Feel far away from my marathon running days at 145 but taking a step today. Today my goal is to calorie count and no snacking past dinner/8pm and to eat only my portion on my plate and not my kids and everything else !

1/6-201.6
1/7- 200.8- second day back at work and all three kids back in school and activities so trying to adjust back to the very tight and long days. Thankfully I have been NOT LNS and sticking to the couch to 4K. Focusing on water, portions, and nothing in the mouth past dinner8!

My doctor is very concerned about my weight / BMI. This is the second heaviest I have ever been. I practice a clean eating lifestyle, but need to exercise more. Goal is to exercise every day for ten days to teach my body this new habit.
SW: 149 lbs
Day 1–1/2 149 lbs, feeling motivated to exercise
Day 2–1/3 149 lbs, hiked 5.84 miles yesterday and felt great about it. Back to work today, but shooting for a few miles after work before it gets dark. Tracking macros again this year.
Day 3–1/4 148.5 lbs, walked 3 miles yesterday and ate clean. Feeling good.
Day 4–1/5 148 lbs, walked 3 miles yesterday, raked the yard, and ate clean. Feeling like I should have walked more. Fasting today before bloodwork this afternoon. Soooo hungry! Need to focus on not overeating after fasting.
Day 5–1/6
Day 6–1/7
Day 7–1/8
Day 8–1/9
Day 9–1/10
Day 10–1/11

1/5. 173.4. Small increase. Could have been worse. Had an impromptu party at my house. People came to hear a guy talk to us about whole house generators. But they all brought food and stayed for hours. I need to do better about not snacking on small bites when at a party.

1/5: 145.6 - Yay! Finally below my starting weight. I don't know why. I did not work out yesterday nor stay under calories. I'm having some knee problems and had a cortisone injection in one of them, so stayed off the Peloton.

1/5-163-Finally back to my pre holiday weight. Horrible wind last night and rain so I put my horse in a stall; he’ll be ready for some exercise later. Got the floor cleaned and mopped after the holiday traffic. Cooked a large package of ground turkey last night and put it in salad, will make taco salad out of it tonight before quilting budget mtg.

@SheilaBoneham Your tip about the after dinner bouillon is a great idea. I will try that next time. I also am trying to make sure I get in enough protein and fiber (35g protein/5g fiber each meal) plus a snack early in the day so that I'm not starving later in the day. I have noticed that on the nights that I'm extra hungry is all about not getting in enough protein/fiber earlier in the day.

@kristawatkins52 Congrats on your 4-day victory! My after-dinner bingeing happens a lot of times when I have alcohol with (sometimes after) dinner and my inhibitions are lowered. It's good that you were able to snack and then stop.

Day/Weight/Comment no food after dinner 💚

1/02 - 178.4 💚
Yay me — just a nice hot cup of bouillon around 9 p.m. but no caloric snack. One day at a time, right?

1/03 - 178.6 💚
I really wanted a late-night snack last night, but stuck to the plan with a cup of warm, unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I’m feeling very virtuous. 😇

1/04 - 178.2 💚
Last night I really really wanted to eat something—I wasn’t hungry, but my mouth wanted it. I almost broke down, but had a cup of salt-free chicken bouillon instead, and was reasonably satisfied and happy that I didn’t cave in. I’m making a point of eating well breakfast-lunch-dinner, with plenty of protein and 350-400 calories. It seems to be helping. I haven’t been actually hungry at night the past three nights, just “mouth” hungry, if that makes sense. I love the 10-day goal setting in general, and in this case I think if I can not snack for ten days I’ll be on my way to breaking that terrible habit.

1/05 - 177.2 💚
Yes! Finally headed back in the right direction. And my no snacking venture seems to be working—last night I just had a can of plain seltzer; didn’t bother with my hot drink. I ate plenty at my three meals. I was a bit hungry by bedtime, but resisted. Feeling hopeful.

@refactored That dip sounds great! Would you mind posting the recipe so I don’t have to fumble with proportions? I don’t want to get back to evening snacking, but it sounds great even as a lunch side. Thanks!
