Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 210

@joans1976 Amanda, maybe a maintenance round is what your body needs. Hang in there and ride the wave 🌊

quiltingjaine · January 2023

@pezhed I had a prolapsed uterus (sorry if that offends) after baby #1 - she was over 8#. It became very painful as TOM approached and I had everything out at 44. Best thing ever! Sending prayers that your postnatal workouts help.

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 over 5 years with amazing results!

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

1/3 124.0 No TMI for 3 days
1/4 124.5 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR FIRST BORN! Wish we were celebrating together!
1/5 123.0 I think. I’m exhausted after not feeling well since before Christmas and now having young company for 3 days. Staying up way too late and eating out daily. Kids fly back to Iowa this evening, DH is trying to nap in our bed for the first time since shoulders have both been replaced in the last 4 months.
1/6 124.0 Kids flight was delayed by an hour or more. I’m exhausted. Need to recover from sickness and company activity.

1/8 125.0 First evening out since September. Good to see old friends.

1/10 125.5 Not sure how I skipped recording yesterday. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ My head is still congested.

@Skyleen75 I also feel “off” - I hope we both feel better!

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.

Day/Weight/Comment

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!

1/10 221.4 (+1.7/-.4) Well there it is....I hate the delay....I so wanted to say DNW...but I did and here's the ugly truth. Tomorrow is another day.

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.

1/10: 173.7 lb
All good. Was a very active day. Made a cauliflower rice stir fry that was so delicious one of my kids finished it off!

@quiltingjaine yes! I don't have severe pain with it but the mental space that the heaviness/bulging takes up is nearly unbearable around TOM..really leading up to, during, and after, so half the time I'm alive it's driving me crazy! Glad you found resolution, maybe someday for me. Thanks for the kind thoughts

Definitely on the mend.

• In Maintenance since July 2019
• Smart BMI - optimal weight.
• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal range

Just because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessary.
People are still dying out there……… and the numbers are on the rise again.
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
JANUARY focus:

* maintain weight < 140 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
* Maintain Daily Solid Habits

I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's

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!

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

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.

1/10 168.8 One more day. I hope I finish strong. I am feeling much better now than yesterday. Some of my work anxiety has resolved it self a bit. One day to go. Let's finish strong!

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.

SW: 146.6 on January 1, 2023
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!

1/8 - 145.8 So the scale is being stubborn about its number, and I’ll just continue to work with it as everything is relative. Tracking is good so I know my choices are correct. Will be interesting when I get back to Massachusetts and try that scale again. ( 5 miles walked yesterday, plus 4 mile by bike to attend a Celtic festival)

1/9 - 145.6 well, I did not deserve the down. Go figure. Day went well in general. Only two laps (can’t do the math) due to shin splints from this new exercise. Tracked all day. Had grapes at the movie theater. Got home and was craving salt. I got into the cashews. That were not even very good…..

1/10 – 145.0 not sure what to think as I like the number but drank half my coffee before I weighed. ( I did not get this post put up until late. On top of that, I discovered that I deleted the whole file and had to recreate)

@quiltingjaine - Thank you for the welcome back. I was not as involved in the group as I hoped this first round, but I will be working on improving that. I'll be watching for the round 211 link!!!

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!

OSW: 250
1/2 SW: 205.6

1/11 GW: 204.6

Not sure where this woosh is from but I’ll take it!
1/4: 204.4
1/5: 203.3
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 🫤
1/6: 203.1
Went to bed hungry last night, which has not happened in many, many months. I think my body wants to stress eat.
1/7: 204.1
1/8: 205.6 Ugh
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.
1/9: 205.6
1/10: 205.6
Well if this was the 10 days maintenance challenge I would be golden! Gotta get a grip.
1/11: 203.8

I think this loss this round was more of a water weight fluctuation than an actual loss but my trend weight app says I lost 1/2 a pound over the last 10 days. I’ll take any loss! Onward!

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.

2016- 245lbs
2019- 142lbs
9/12/22- 185lbs

1/2 186.2
1/3 185.2
1/4 185.2
1/5 185.6
1/6 185.4
1/7 185.2
1/8 184.7
1/9 187.6
1/10 187.0
1/11 187.2 wowza I follow my worst round with a terrible round! I’m frustrated by todays number considering I literally ate about 400 calories yesterday. I have a cold (thankfully still Covid neg), it seems to be moving through pretty quick. Already feel better today than yesterday.
I’m hoping this weight gain is just my body’s reaction to the stress of being sick. Ready for the next round.
