@Machias1949 great job actually losing while on your cruise?! Hope you had a fabulous time. I was at the Carribean coast of Puerto Rico while you were cruising the Carribean!5

I can't find the one or two posts I made this challenge so I'm starting fresh with two days left in the round!
SW: DNW (travel) but was 119 before my trip to Puerto Rico

1/9: 122! I'm okay with this since I really wasn't mindful at all and ate and drank to my heart's content while in Puerto Rico. My only exercise was wrangling my kids and walking to and from the beach. Having the kids back in daycare is a relief today! Have a busy day at work planned but I'm hoping to squeeze in a dog walk and a Peloton ride over lunch break. Today feels like the ultimate Monday, though, whew. 2.5 weeks off of work felt like a long time. What's my job again???

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.
1/08 - 177.2 💚
I really don’t get it. For the past week I’ve kept my calories below 1200, have had nothing but bouillon or hot unsweetened almond milk at night, and have gotten more exercise than I have in weeks. My macros are on target. I suppose eventually the weight will drop off, but holy cow, it’s frustrating.

Finally. 😁

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!

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.
1/8 210.6. Snacking again with its consequential gain. How disappointing but I know it would happen as I was doing it. Is that progress? Still it continues to happen.
1/9 210.2. Lost most of gain but still not close enough to round goal. A few more days to get there.

1/2 221.8
1/3 220.3 (-1.5/-1.5) Not the best of days but better than previous as I have had no structure. I did plan meals for yesterday but got caught up in a snack frenzy toward the end of the day. I did manage to increase my water from 32 ounces on 1/2 to 80 ounces. I have planned my meals for today as well as targeting water at 80 ounces again.
1/4 219.9 (-0.4/-1.9)
1/5 218.8 (-1.1/-3.00) What a pleasant surprise. Expected a bump as we had leftovers from the weekend that were calorie rich! And I had bread and bread is not normally my friend.
Today's plan is a chicken and vegetable stir fry and again, lots and lots of water.
1/6 219.9 (+1.1/-1.90) Well that was short lived. I guess it took at day to catch up with me. Yesterday was a good day with the chicken and veggies so I should see a drop in the morning. 🤞🏽
1/7 220.3 (+0.4/-1.5) This was my first weigh-in of the morning. Later on I stepped on and saw 218.4. I record the first weigh in of the morning..even though I may "check in" again. Not excited about tomorrow. I went to dinner for my husband's birthday...hard to track and know exactly....
1/8 219.4 (-0.9/-2.4) Not bad...
1/9 219.7 (+.3/-2.1) I'm good with this for a birthday weekend!

Day/Weight/Comment
1/2: 177.0 lb
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.
1/7: 174.6 lb
Kids made pizza and cheesecake for dinner. I ate back all my exercise calories which I usually don't do - I usually only eat back half. The food was delicious and I am glad I could show myself that I can resist the urge to overeat.
1/8: 175.0 lb
I think eating high calorie, low density food from yesterday caught up with me. I struggled the whole day then went off piste calorie wise. I think I will up my calories for a few days because I think my targets are a bit too aggressive. I feel tired all the time and hence I am likely to break eventually.
1/9: 174.4 lb
Hit my new calorie target and exercised.

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 210 (my 142nd). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine.
Goal for this round; flying off on holiday 7th Jan, so would like to lose 2 pounds and then hold that whilst we are away – big ask I know, so we'll see! Try to avoid Christmas goodies, just one small treat a day. No binges, keep within calories & macros, try to get walking around the weather (don't like walking in the rain!!!)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. Healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

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.
X X
Goal 2: Increase water intake: Hit 70 oz per day for 8 out of 10 days.
X
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 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.
1/7 168.4 It was a fun day spent with my daughter. I made some really good food choices in spite of going out to lunch. And played a mystery solving game. But I had some cocktails and stayed up late and ended up very hungry by the end of the night and ended up trying to satiate with random things--not sure I logged everything. I don't think I was attending to my hunger cues and didn't get enough water. I did 40 minutes on the rower--rowing through antarctica, the dessert, and some weird space world in Holofit.
1/8 169.4 Woke up very thirsty and hungry. DD wants to go for a run today. I don't have good sneakers--although I ordered a pair that should be coming soon, and I haven't run in a while, also the area I live now has so many more hills than I am used to, so I think I might walk while she runs. I also want to clean out the fridge and set up my week so it will be as successful as last week.
1/9 169.6 Moving in the wrong direction here. I am feeling in a funk today and it will take a lot to get me motivated to exercise. I am also out of a lot of my go to healthy dinner ingredients so figuring out dinner will be tough.

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.

1/2-- 256.8 So far, so good today. Its a long work day today and thats where I struggle the most to stay on track. Working to make better choices!
1/3--258 UGH! Late night snacking while up at work got me. You would think running like a chicken with no head would offset some of those calories....alas...no
1/4 --DNW forgot to weigh before left for work this am and wont be home until tomorrow am to catch up!

1/2 196.8 Cutting back on fruit.
1/3 196.6 Got busy today and didn't eat until evening. I am shocked, usually get alot of cravings.
1/4 196.0 Woke up 0430.
1/5 195.8 Trying to stay busy, back at the gym in the mornings.
1/6 196.2
1/7 196.0 Seemed like 1 main meal, need consistency. 5k today - beautiful morning outside
1/8 195.4 Got a late start to the day and felt like was going in circles wasting my time. Then when home was craving anything sweet/snacky and unable to focus and get on track. Connected? Ended up making a sugarfree brownie mix and eating 1/3 of it. Satisfaction - made it with olive oil instead of coconut oil and hoping that is a side benefit.
1/9 195.2 Back to work.... stress management needed. Am I maintaining or circling again?

Hi all,
Mega busy day today! I hope everyone is doing well.
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!)
1/7 199 (Had a good day for eating on plan, but was quite busy and did not do my planned workout. If the scale isn’t moving, it is probably due to that. It would be easier if exercise alone or planned eating alone would do the trick, but for me it is always—always--a combination of the two that results in weight loss! Today I will do BOTH!)
1/8 200 (? I made pea soup, which does have salt, and had it for dinner with a slice of ham, so I am probably retaining water. Plan for today: Lots of desk work today, so need to put in at least 5 cardio bursts, an upper body workout and a nice walk in between sessions of sitting.)
1/9 199 (Back to school today. Plan: eat as planned, run up to 5th floor 2x during the day. Sushi with son tonight and I know what I will have. No extra dynamite roll pieces! 2 is my limit so close to bedtime! I can do this! Soy sauce will definitely show on the scale tomorrow morning, so I will not despair!)

A little surprised at this today as I had a long day at work yesterday and didn't get my exercise in. I also gave in to a craving I have had for a while and had a few wings. However, this was somewhat planned as I told myself last week I could have them if I waited until yesterday. It may show tomorrow, but I plan on getting in a good workout this afternoon and trying to hit my step goal even though I will be working late.

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 🫤

Went to bed hungry last night, which has not happened in many, many months. I think my body wants to stress eat.

Dinner out last night and I worked hard to make good choices but you just can’t control or appropriately log when you’re at a restaurant, especially a buffet. Did my best.

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 / Happy with my choices at the dinner theatre last night. I got up and squeezed in a 15 minute Peloton ride before breakfast which is great because it's been pretty sedentary around here since then watching the football game. I'm waiting for my husband to finish his workout and then we'll walk the dog together. I travel for business later this week so we want to make the most of our weekend time together.
1/8 / 180.4 / Yesterday was good across the board. I am up to commute into the office this morning. Lunch out with my husband planned and then salads for dinner.
1/9 / 179 / Got my 10K steps yesterday. Went out for lunch but made good choices. Today I fly for business so I won't be back on a scale until Friday.
