Round 211
January 12 - January 21, 2023
Please join us starting on 1/12 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 211!
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👍👍

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)

Wow I can't believe it! I made it all the way through my first 10 day round and I am back for a second. I don't think I have ever managed to stick with it for this long.
Round 210 ending weight - 73.3kg. loss of 1.6kg
SW Round 2011. 73.8
GW round 2011. 72.8
Day/Weight/Comment
1/12. 73.8. Really struggled yesterday with dinner. I have had a long week at work, and then had to take my son to hockey practice yesterday. When I got home I was starving and my daughter wanted Mac and cheese. Mac and cheese is a weakness of mine. I ended up having the worst dinner I have had in the last 10 days and I woke up feeling bloated and yuck for the first time in 10 days. I hate this feeling and will try to hold on to the memory as just another reason to not eat like that anymore.

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.

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE👍👍 Round 211
I’m a 64 year old retired Sp. Ed. Teacher who started these challenges last fall. I love that they are short and manageable. My goal for the year is to drop 10 pounds, be more active and explore a new outdoor location at least once a month. Started this year with a week of exploring the Texas hill country.

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
R210 EW 187.2
1/12- 187.4 I’m guessing this is a result of 2hrs of strength training and lots of cold medicine.5 -

Hello all! I’m Amanda from Michigan. I set goals in 2023 to eat more fruit and veggies and fiber and to increase meditation. I’m doing well on everything but the meditation. I did very well on these 10 day challenges over the summer and fall but am facing a major health crisis this year and am just struggling to stay on track.
Good luck to all!

Round 211: RSW 117.6 waist: 28½” (goal- to get my natural waist to 28”)
01/12-117.6 -Finally yesterday I felt good enough to do a very short morning treadmill walk. So tired of the hacking cough that is keeping me up at night-hope to get in to see my doctor today. I am not sure a diet of cold and cough medicine is a healthy choice.

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 maintain this new habit.
