Hello everyone. I'm back, at least for a while. I didn't think I'd be absent for this long. 2022 was a very stressful year from beginning to end. New family illnesses and 2 sudden family deaths. I thank the Almighty for bringing me through it. HEALTHY NEW YEAR to all!

I never gave up on daily fasting, having 1 or 2 meals a day. I've been at the tipping point of OMAD since my sister died but I just won't do it. Now may be the time.

Hi all,

Hi all,

Merry Christmas to Eastern Orthodox members! I am thinking of Ukrainians and hoping they will find some joy and hope in their lives today.

Is it really Day 5? Yikes! This is the midpoint of our challenge. That seemed fast!

Nice to hear reports from everyone's life. I am pretty boring at the moment, which feels quite nice, considering how busy and crazy my normal life, which resumes on Monday, can be. I'm doing my taxes, since I never have time in the spring. Sigh. Love, love, love those government forms with all the little numbers and boxes. Thankfully, my paperwork was reasonably organized and I am getting to the end of this!

SW: 204
Day/Weight/Comment
1/2 204 (Wow. I gained five pounds over the holiday. It was a real shocker to see this number, although the fit of my pants should have provided a clue! Ate well today and exercised. Drank herb tea only after 7pm, which is a good strategy for me when I am trying to lose weight!)
1/3 202 (Two pounds were obviously water weight! Plan for today: Eat on plan and track. 30+ mins brisk walk. 2-5 min. cardio burst 4x during the day. Lower body strength training 40 mins.)
1/4 199 (?? Probably water weight and losing the carbs of the holiday from my gut? My muscles are slightly sore from weight training on Monday, so this will account for a pound or two as well, which might come off in the next few days? I’ll take it! Today, fewer carbs and more veggies. I ate a noodle bowl yesterday, which used up a lot of my day’s calories, but I felt a bit depleted and ate the carbs with great enjoyment!)
1/5 200 (Sore today, and it is showing on the scale. All good! My eating was really good yesterday, and I got good exercise. No snackig after 7:00, but I did have tortilla chips with one meal... blue corn chips are so delicious! My post-holiday detox, no alcohol, is so far problem-free.)
1/6 199 (Still quite sore, even after a rest day! Plan to work upper body today, in between trying to get my taxes done before school starts. Eating was good yesterday, and I stayed on plan, but tonight I may have to negotiate a restaurant meal. My strategy is to have a salad and lean protein, with no carb- or fat-laden extras. I may have a bite of someone’s dessert, but, for a person who grew up in an era where brewed coffee that had turned to creosote over many hours on the warming plate, tempered with--gag, cough, barf--powdered creamer, was the norm, a cappuccino really does feel like a treat!)

@tiabirdie56 I’ve had a few root canals over the years and only had one that was a problem. You’ll be fine and the end of pain is awesome.

Finally getting my calories back under control after being careless about it over Christmas and New Year.

1/3: 176.4 lb
Exercised and stayed within calories.

1/4: 175.7 lb
All good again. I am exercising quite a bit. I think I need a rest day though because my body feels tired. That will make it harder to stay under calorie target.

1/5: 174.8 lb
Stayed within calories but it was hard because I didn't have any exercise calories. Drank lots of ginger tea and ate lots of celery with a cottage cheese dip to get by. Started TTOM which always gives me a big loss.

1/6: 175.3 lb
All good. No surprises that there was a bit of a bounce because of my recent losses the past few days.

SW: 170 pounds: Ultimate Goal weight 145 pounds
10 day goals:
GW for this round: 169--With consistency, I have been fluctuating between 172 and 167 for a few years now. I want my high weight to be below 170 for at least 3 consecutive days by the end of the challenge.

Goal 1: Cut down on the boozy days: Stay dry for 7 out of 10 days.

Goal 2: Increase water intake: Hit 70 oz per day for 8 out of 10 days.

Goal 3: Log my food 9 out of 10 days.

Goal 4: 20 minutes of movement separate from day to day activities. 8 out of 10 days.

X

I want to focus on the things I can control and put less focus on the numbers, but I hope that I can be consistently out of the 170s for 3 days straight by the end of the challenge.

1/1 SW: 170.8
Day/Weight/Comment

1/2 AM Weigh-in 172.0--over a pound up since yesterday--I'll blame it on salty cravings yesterday-pickles, olives, and wonton soup. I also didn't hit the water goal, but yesterday was pre-game so it doesn't count toward this round's goals. I decided to add a movement goal because I have definitely been slacking in that area.

1/3 171.2 I met my daily goals yesterday. But, anticipation of going back to work kept me up all night and when I finally started drifting off my dog got sick. According to Fitbit I got less than 3 hours which isn’t like me. I never gave trouble sleeping and usually get a solid 7-8 hours a night. Getting through today is going to be tough.

1/4 169.8 even though I was exhausted yesterday—I put Holofit on freestyle and did my 20 minutes. I didn’t use a rower and it didn’t feel like a workout but I am sore today so it did something—I did the cycling which is just moving your arms for the freestyle mode—but i through in some dance steps for fun and I actually broke a sweat so im counting it. Still dry so far this year. You’d think I’d feel better because of it but I don’t feel any different. Maybe because of the sleepless night I had on Monday. I got almost 7 hours yesterday but mostly light sleep. My dog is having some intestinal issues and she was up a few times last night. I woke up to a run little gift to clean up in my bedroom this morning.

I’m a lot more prepared for eating today because I finally got to do some grocery shopping. No more holiday leftovers for lunch and dinner.

1/5 169.0 Skipped the movement yesterday but did good on all other fronts. My dog had me up again hours before my alarm. After taking her out 2 times it was too late to go back to sleep so I did a BOD stretch video. I feel so sore all over which is odd because I am not doing any intense workout. I think it might be a combination of sitting so much when I was on vacation last week, and not wearing sneakers. I need to get a new pair. I am either barefoot or wearing boots. All I know is that I am stiff all over and I feel achy and twisted up. . I need to stretch more. Yesterday I made a vegetable soup with some leftovers and it was delicious. Looking forward to having more of it for lunch tomorrow.

1/6 168.8 Forced myself to put on shoes yesterday and get on the rower after dinner. I realize the putting on my sneakers is the hardest part of making myself move. But once I put them on--as ripped up and uncomfortable as the are--it made it a lot easier to get on the rower. I rowed my way down the Charles river in Boston with my Holofit, but the occulus needed to be recharged so I did my 20 minutes and stopped. I probably could have rowed a bit more. That app makes me really enjoy the movement almost as much as if I was outdoors and traveling for real.

Today was a tough day. I actually slept through the night last night because my dog is starting to feel better, but my sleep didn't feel restful. I forgot my coat and my work bag and didn't realize it until I got to work. I felt frazzled all day. But it is Friday and I so far have 100% dry days so I think today might be a non-dry day for me. We shall see. I will try to hit my other targets first.

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.
1/6 / 179.2 / An eventful day. My first Friday in years at the office. Only perk was getting to wear jeans for casual Friday. At lunch my boss threw us a pizza party as thanks for all the hard work over the holidays due to some issues in my industry. I ate well there and was proud of my choices overall. However, after work colleagues were going for beers, I had a couple, and then inhibitions went out the door. Ended up overeating on date night out with my husband. On the plus side, my steps are already over 12K today.

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!

1/7 185.2 it goes down so slow but I’m unwilling to eat at a calorie level that is unsustainable and under nourishing. My body needs fuel to crush it at the gym every day. Lol and I sure do crush it! I love January gym feels- new faces to watch the jaws drop “she’s gonna lift THAT???” or does that bigger middle aged woman really rank first in every spin class??? I’m not exactly competitive but I feel very responsible to represent my body type as capable to do anything. I love group classes with other women as much as I like the fist bumps from the bros. Lol I love the gym. Excuse my rant!!!

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.

1/6 – Scale did not work!! Made it to the Keys yesterday, worked on unpacking. It is clear that I messed up my back at the airport with my giant bag of “one way” items I wanted to get to Florida ($35 for up to 50 lb on airplane is cheaper than any shipping company). Stepped on the scale today and the batteries are dead……..

1/7 – 146.0 Not happy!!!!! Tracking is going well and on target, so “up” should not have happened. But I am popping lots of NSAIDS, walked 5 miles yesterday having not exercised in months, and this is a different scale. I guess at least I now have a starting reference for this scale for the rest of my stay (pretty sure they are normally identical – I own 3 of the same – so I am betting on NSAIDS). Getting pulled together to join the walking girls!

43 year old woman, height 5’3”
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 5–1/6 149 lbs, went to the gym and completed one hour of weight-lifting. Didn’t get any walking in today though, which I feel guilty about. I want to try eating dinner earlier in the evening. Been sneaking healthy foods into my partner’s diet by bringing him lunch at work. We are supposed to be fitness partners, but I feel like I’m the only one working at it.

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.

1/06 - 177.2 💚
I’m happy to say I’ve made it almost a week without nighttime snacking other than bouillon or hot almond milk. I also am getting more exercise with Booker, my new pup. Yesterday he ran his first baby track (following a scent trail) and did great. He’s a smart little cookie. I’ll be glad when he doesn’t need to go out every two hours all night, though! Thank goodness for afternoon naps. Here’s a pic my friend and training buddy took yesterday. I love how focused he is— 8 weeks old.

1/07 - 177
Another night without nighttime snacking. Yay! I woke up famished, but that’s a good thing, I suppose. Now to keep it up. I did bake oatmeal cookies for DH and samples one, but still stayed within calories.

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.
1/6 / 179.2 / An eventful day. My first Friday in years at the office. Only perk was getting to wear jeans for casual Friday. At lunch my boss threw us a pizza party as thanks for all the hard work over the holidays due to some issues in my industry. I ate well there and was proud of my choices overall. However, after work colleagues were going for beers, I had a couple, and then inhibitions went out the door. Ended up overeating on date night out with my husband. On the plus side, my steps are already over 12K today.
1/7 / 180.8 / Up to go hiking today before we go out for dinner theatre tonight.

01/06 -198.4- (Trend weight 199.2)My DD and DGS are here Thur – Sunday (until after 7:30 pm Sunday night) as usual. Dieting is tough through the week because of my cardiac travel (and other appts) and tough on weekends with her here as she is a tiny petite little foody who can get away with eating anything. I’ve got to stick to my guns for the weight and the T2D. My glucose numbers have been running rampant throughout the holidays. Time to get back into some form of control. I’m back down today lower than my start weight. Back (basically, depending on the day) to my pre-holiday weight. Time for progress!

01/07 -200.0- (Trend weight 199.2) I’m a little shocked at the number on the scale considering it was a pretty good day yesterday. I even logged for the first time in awhile. 30 minutes straight on the exercise bike too. I also babysat my DGS which means a LOT of stairs up & down and the upstairs steps are STEEP! But I also know that I ate 1/3 of a Chinese dinner (Almond Boneless chicken) and a small amount of egg drop soup. Also, no water pill day yesterday so the bloat is real today. It’s difficult and frustrating to track this way, but I’ll just keep trying to keep my hopes and my spirits up.

I ate one Ghirardelli 72% square for dessert and wanted more but was able to stop. During work days I get really hungry at around 2 p.m. no matter how big the lunch. I'm going to try to take a break and do a 15-minute walk during that time this next week to see if it helps.

Round 210 SW RGW 209.2 EW

SW: 211.2 1/1/2023 Focus is on sugar and water intake for this round, less sugar and more water.
Day/Weight/Comment

1/2 210. This is a pleasant surprise. I did eat less sugar and I did drink more water. Now to do it again. I always start off well and within a few days I give in to emotional and stress eating. Need to keep myself busy.

1/3 210 I’m very happy that the number did not go up. I did watch my sugar and drank my water but probably had too much sodium. Also not much movement yesterday.

1/4 209.6. Another great day. I know the way this works but I always fail due to emotional eating. My biggest challenge has always been how to channel that into something else and control what I put in my mouth. Looking at planning food and activities one or two days at a time right now and not any further. I want it to become a new habit of better self care.

1/5 209.6 Stayed the same but that’s great. So far so good today, challenges all around but need to also focus on me.

1/6 210 I don’t know how that happened as I was under my calories for the day yesterday. I’ll just take it as a normal fluctuation.

1/7 210 Ho hum! I didn’t gain but at least staying the same. I was good on the calories although hubby and I split a regular sized chicken Philly cheesesteak from Charlie’s. We had a combo and since he is on a low sodium diet I ate the fries. I’m sure that’s what happened with no loss.
