Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 212
Replies
-
I was part of this challenge a while back, and was glad to see it's still around (thank you @quiltingjaine! ) In June, I was diagnosed with a serious medical illness. I had surgery with great results! I stress-ate like there was no tomorrow, and didn't exercise at all. I'm back to just 6 pounds from my heaviest. I'm having a hard time getting back to my healthy ways. This forum helped me before so I'm back, not just for the accountability but because how kind and supportive everyone is to each other.
Goal this round:
Do NOT eat sugar or white flour. These are my downfall. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Start back rowing/walking/weights. Eat healthy. Drink 80oz water each day.
01/21 - Start Weight: 180.2
Round 212
01/22 - 177.9 - As I've gained weight this time, I've gotten closer and closer to the 180's and hitting 180 yesterday, I hope, jerked me awake. My plan was never to see that number again (and for that matter, I never "planned" to see any of the numbers I've seen, who does, right? ) . Anyway, yesterday was a really good day, finally! I did as I have done every day, which is eat healthy and keep my calories in check for the entire day, but all other days, I've ended up bingeing in the evening. Yesterday, I did NOT. Yay! Getting thru a day where I was in control and not my sugar-craving self was wonderful! Happy Sunday everyone, and for those who watch - football!!
01/23 - 177.2 (weighed later than my normal time) - Second day on track. Need to up the amount of water I'm drinking - only drank a little over 40oz each of the last 2 days. I rode the stationary bike yesterday for a whole 10 mins, but you have to start somewhere. I haven't exercised since my surgery in June. My exercise today is snow shoveling. I shoveled once already and another round is coming in this afternoon. We have a 600ft driveway (no, not shoveling it LOL). We have a plow but there are all the side doors, sidewalk, getting out to my workshop, etc. I could use the snow blower but sometime it's easier just to grab a shovel and it burns lots of calories!
01/24 - 178.5 - Perfectly normal to fluctuate but too many carbs/salt doesn't help. I did not have any sugar or white flour yesterday, which is great. I am very happy about that! However, I'm trying to make up for the lack of these with too many other carbs. For some reason the carb I've chosen to eat too much of is grits. I haven't really eaten grits that often since I was a kid growing up in Georgia. I know it's just my body craving the white flour and sugar. I also have been adding too much salt. Recognizing I'm doing this is the first step, now I'll adjust. More snow shoveling today. Yay!
01/25 - 178.7 -
01/26 - DNW
01/27 - 178.5 - I thought I would be up after over indulging for my 26th wedding anniversary . It may catch up with me tomorrow. That's okay. What I'm proud of is that I still had no sugar/flour. I already don't eat hardly any processed foods, so to keep sugar in my life, it takes an effort from me to literally add it or to buy something sweet. I've had nothing sweet in my house for months except sugar. I had been adding way more than I want to admit to my hot tea that I would drink all day (I'm originally from the Georgia, where sweet tea is like syrup ). That stopped 6 days ago! The first days are the hardest, and I'm so glad to be past them. I love drinking hot tea in the winter. I need to slowly learn to enjoy it without sugar.
01/28 - 179.1 - Okay, anniversary is over even though I still ate more than I should have yesterday. I look at the days up to now as a short period of time of me watching what I'm eating more than how much. Now that I'm past the ultra-craving stage of no sugar/flour, it's time I work harder on the "how much" (calories, water, exercise). I haven't hit 80oz of water yet so today is the day. I've been shoveling snow, but today I start rowing again. And lastly, I'm shooting for 1200 to 1400 calories.
01/29 - DNW - I got up around 4am. I couldn't sleep. I drank lots of water, so skipped weighing. Yesterday was a good day. 64oz of water - not 80oz, but better. Rowed 20 mins. Calories 1460. Keeping it going today! Looking forward to watching playoffs today. I'm learning to enjoy something without it having to be wrapped around food. No unhealthy snacks today.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

@Machias1949 LOL at "not your Mother's jeans"! I've noticed the current trend is high-waist pants/jeans. I have found that those that are closer to the hip/belly button work best for me.3

@Skyleen75 My late MIL was a food pusher. Sometimes it’s really hard to resist. Small portions, you can do this!
@deepwoodslady Avoid anything ending in -ose. Regarding monk fruit . . .
@amnu_co and @fmfdfa2020 I bought my first monk fruit liquid sweetener last week because the store quit carrying their own brand of liquid stevia. Flavored liquid stevia was about $13 for 2 oz but you use so little that lasts a very long time. I use it in one or more cups of coffee. The monk fruit flavored liquid (2 oz for under $5) takes about 4 times as much to achieve the same sweetness and flavor. I guess I’ll be searching on Amazon. Just MHO and experience.
@Kayjay1960 I am a bread-aholic. I knew I had to not eat as much of it because it triggers an insulin response that requires frequent “doses” of bread! Going low carb-keto is what works for me and I have also figured out that large amounts of “good” carbs (such as fiber) are not good for me.3 -

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.

SW: 127.0
I need to get back to a fasting schedule.
1/22 126.5 Fasted until 4:30 or 5. Got an Unwich at Jimmy John’s (#7) and could only eat half! I did have a glass of red wine and dumped the remaining 1/2 bottle down the drain!
1/23 125.5 Art Quilts, etc meeting this morning, picking up a friend for lun-ner this afternoon (Golden Corral?) Weight might jump up tomorrow.
1/24 127.0 As anticipated. Golden Corral for the first time in months. Not as good as I remembered it. 🤷♀️ Stayed to 25g TC limit but too much salt and not enough water and drank coffee later than usual so couldn’t get to sleep.
1/25 127.0 No TMI for a couple of days UGH Got my new Garmin and set it up yesterday afternoon. YAY! Calories, protein and fat all under; carbs over by 6 - all came from assorted low vegetables.
1/26 126.0 Good day yesterday- only 13g TC and over 5000 steps due to shopping. Today I have guild meeting an hour away and meal with a friend before repeat meeting. I’ll do my best to make that a good meal.
1/27 126.5 20g carbs - it was 15 until I ate 2 squares of Sam’s Choice Dark Chocolate-something has changed with that product. It no longer melts in my mouth. Oh well, Amy and I went to Chipotle for dinner - we each got a salad and no chips. Or as many steps as I expected. I’m so happy to have my new Garmin and that it is synced with my iOS devices!
1/28 127.0 No idea except no TMI. I have beef and Brussels sprouts with butter and my BP coffee with cream.

@sheilaboneham LOL-not sure I would call myself a “writer?” I wrote my father’s life story (mainly for my siblings), I wrote a children’s book about my dad’s family on the Oregon Trail (for my grandchildren and nieces and nephews). I wrote my great grandfather’s life story as told by my father as a young boy (again for my family)
This story is different-it is ALSO a TRUE story-but NOT about my family. It is a minister (Rev. George Jones Adams) who in the 1860’s conned people that he was a religious leader chosen by God to take them to Jaffa for the second coming. Since the families have loaned me their family diaries and letters-I am doing it for them. Once done, I will send copies to the historical centers near the locations plus provide it free on a facebook site I set up for them.
I will take your advice and pace myself. It is hard as I get tied up in the research. I promised the families I would get this done six months ago.4 -

1/22 198.0
1/23 197.4
1/24 198.4 wrong direction but I lifted weights for the first time in a few weeks so probably holding water
1/25 199.0 even more wrong direction! I did go over my calorie goal yesterday but not by a lot.. we shall see what tomorrow brings. Plan to drink plenty of water today.
1/26 197.4 ok that's better. maybe my body go the picture about weight lifting. I stayed up really late reading a novel all in one sitting last night, it's probably been 20 years since I did that last, haha! and I also feel like I'm getting an ear infection, which I also have not had in about 20 years? weird day!
1/27 197.4 again, not bad, had a glass of wine last night and my food was a bit high sodium. The cold weather makes me not want to drink water and we've had a ton of rain so I don't want to get outside as much. Making up for it with tea and inside yoga.
1/28 197.6 just hangin out here. need to stay mindful with my logging.

1/22: 131.3 - I’m surprised it is not higher since I’ve had two late night binges in a row. I think the only saving grace calorie-wise is that on both days I ended up eating only one meal. Today I’ll go back to a more normal meal schedule.
1/23: 131 - My daughter stopped by on her way home (we’re about half-way on her 7+ hour drive) and took a bunch of the goodies that I had made for our dinner party with her.
1/24: 132.9 - Binged last night
1/25: 131.8 - Did better yesterday. I think it helped that all my meals were very vegetable-forward (less carbs)
1/26: 131.4 - Still too many sweets/carbs yesterday. Did not do my usual workout but got a hike in instead.
1/27: 131.4 - Ate better and got some extra walking in, but still need to lay off the after dinner eating.
1/28: 131.4 - Got my workout in towards the end of the day…

I am feeling vey emotional typing this, there were times 2.5 years ago that I doubted I would ever say that when he was so ill. Yet again I am so thankful to the brave family that donated their loved one's liver to save our little brave lion's life and the marvellous NHS. I hope that they also get a little comfort from the fact that a very important part of her still lives on in a very independent, larger than life personality of a delightful 3 year old, 2 and a half years on from their very sad loss.
Celebrations all around! On the 22nd we celebrated 2 years post transplant for our little MiracleMan! It's so good to hear your little big man is doing well and he looks so good! Happiest of birthdays with your stunning smile!! Seeing him so happy and healthy looking makes my heart beyond happy
Our donors are Angels on Earth I'm thankful for our donor as well as yours. I hope they all know how loved and appreciated they are.4 -

Stayed within calorie budget and exercised. I am going to aim for consistency this round.

Achieved my goals for the day.
1/24: 173.0 lb
Stayed within calorie budget and exercised. Was an active day for me and I was a bit hungry during the day.
1/25: 173.0 lb
Why O why do I eat my children's leftovers? My youngest is the worst for leaving food on his plate. He eats like a bird - the occasional peck at his food then he moves on. I need to add a goal which is not to eat my children's leftovers and get him to sit at the table until dinner is done.
1/26: 173.3 lb
I have been naughty and have not been counting a vegetable stir fry I usually eat for lunch. I think that is the reason for my lack of progress. I will count it from now on and see what happens. I thought it was relatively benign. It has cauliflower, zucchini, mushrooms, onion, and bok choy. It will be interesting to see how many calories it comes to.
1/27: 172.0 lb
Well the "benign" stir fry turned out to be 100 calories per serve. So not insignificant. I will count it from now on and not treat it as a free pass. I think my consistency otherwise has lead to a drop finally showing up but I will wait to see how much of a bounce back I get tomorrow. Oh and I didn't eat my kids leftovers!
1/28: 172.0 lb
Surprised this weight stuck. I did not indulge in pizza night instead having a cauliflower stir fry. My DS made brioche though and I had 2 small slices. I don't know why he felt the need to spend a few days making it but he is already a better cook than me!
1/29: 172.4 lb
Unfortunately there was leftover brioche and I had a few large slices. Combine that with a big dinner and that might account for the increase.

I apologize if these photos end up gigantic. I cannot for the life of me make them smaller.
Despite the rain and storms, it ended up becoming a sunny, warm day out. I walked outside in a t-shirt with the pups and still broke a sweat! The sky was such a beautiful deep blue I had to share. And Smoke (white) is learning to walk delightfully quick. Harley is a great teacher. Had a little hiccup when a deer ran by, but we made it through, especially since Harley knows my commands better and helped guide Smoke. Both pups are now passed out. I'm satisfied as my step count was struggling prior to this. Still is, but 1.3 miles is more than I would have otherwise walked.

1/22 116.3 Down 500g from yesterday so very happy.
1/23 116.2 Great to have a loss no matter how much. Sticking to kilojoule allowance but having a rest day from exercise as back a little sore.
1/24 116.2 No change but yesterday I was under my kjs so hopefully it’ll change tomorrow. Today I will be doing a lot of steps.
1/25 116.2 Yesterday I only ate half my exercise back. I’ll try to do some rowing today.
1/26 116.2 Getting a bit frustrated with weight not changing though I know it will probably have a drop soon. Did row yesterday and only ate a 1/3 back. Will row again today.
1/27 116.2 Checked my scale is not broken. Still behaving and rowing.
1/28 115.9 Lost 300g; I was hoping for 500 but its better than none. Expect to do lots of steps today.
1/29 115.8
1/30 115.9 Had a chip binge last night so I have already done a good rowing session today. Will try to do more later on.

1/22 200 (Big plans to sit at my desk, mark assignments and enter marks for mid-terms. Sheesh. Will try to get up and run up and down stairs every 20-30 mins. Made lentil soup and chicken bone broth yesterday, so I have something warm, nourishing, filling and not too caloric for quick meals/snacks this week!)
1/23 199 (Nutrition and exercise good, but too much work to do weight training today. Cardio only. Feeling a bit under the weather, so I may be fighting something. There is so much going around at school.)
1/24 199 (I am coming down with something, so it has been hard not to eat everything in sight! When I’m sick I often do not make good choices and struggle to exercise. I exercised and ate well today. Whew!)
1/25 198 (Good day for nutrition and exercise!)
1/26 199 (sore from changing up my weight training yesterday, ate an Oreo at a tem-end celebration for one of my classes)
1/27 200 (birthday meal at a restaurant last night—carbs and salt are showing up on the scale!)
1/28 --- (NOT weighing in today! Too depressing. I’ll weight in once the sushi rice and soy sauce have cycled through! Another restaurant meal tonight, though. I’m not sure where we will go, so I don’t have a plan yet. Will jump on treadmill after school, so I don’t miss my exercise.)
1/29 199 (Good day today. I’m a bit sore from weights, so I’ll do cardio only tonight.)

Goal for this round; aiming to lose a pound and a half. No binges, keep within calories & macros.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: 137.8
Day/Weight/Comment
1/22 137.8 – good start to the round, hope it's not just because I had a lie in after a late night and therefore weighed in late – the scale initially showed yesterday's weight 138.2 & then dropped down to 137.8 – I'll take it !! I'll stay strong today to try to retain this number.
1/23 137.8 – 7.73 miles walked. ¼ exercise calories eaten back.
1/24 137.8 – 11.58 miles walked, just over half of exercise calories eaten back. Started with a croaky, sore throat & cough, trying to shake it off from getting hold of me.
1/25 137.8 – 10.74 miles, a third of exercise calories eaten back. Started to feel pretty worse as the day went on, had an awful night; sore throat, wracking cough, temperature, multiple weird dreams!! Going to try a gentle walk later as I think the fresh air will do me good.
1/26 137.8 - 6.77 miles walked yesterday, felt much better whilst I was out in the fresh air. I fed my cold yesterday with chocolate, luckily it didn't show up on the scales, but it made me think what would the number have been if I hadn't caved! Feeling a little better this morning, but my throat is so sore and the racking cough is so painful on my throat
1/27 138.2 – 8.07 miles walked. Well there is the chocolate & I did indulge yesterday to . Feel a little brighter this morning, determined to gain control again from now, 4 days to make goal.
1/28 138.2 – 5.83 miles walked.
1/29 138.6 – no structured walking; took our caravan in for part exchange and bought our new one home, spent the rest of the day re-packing all the contents back in. looking forward to getting out in it in a few weeks. The numbers are feeling the effects of reduced walking!! Today we celebrate DGS 3rd birthday at DD's with a lovely roast dinner & no doubt birthday cake. I am feeling vey emotional typing this, there were times 2.5 years ago that I doubted I would ever say that when he was so ill. Yet again I am so thankful to the brave family that donated their loved one's liver to save our little brave lion's life and the marvellous NHS. I hope that they also get a little comfort from the fact that a very important part of her still lives on in a very independent, larger than life personality of a delightful 3 year old, 2 and a half years on from their very sad loss.
1/30 137.8 - Thank you all for the wonderful wishes for little Leo; we all had a wonderful day & were all spoilt!! @Smoda61 his birthday was actually 26th January, @Camandjarvis congrats. on your DGS 2nd liversary, so good to hear he is doing so well too

2nd Round
Age 53, 5’5”
Heaviest- 345+ lbs (my highest known weight prior to gastric bypass in Aug 2005)
Weight Aug 2006: 170 lbs.
Weight in Jan 2022: 219 lbs
Weight at beginning of 1st Round: 157.6 lbs
Current Weight- 156 lbs
Goal Weight- 150 lbs (TBD)*
This week's daily goals: 90 grams of protein, 8 cups fluid, iron/supplements, 10 mins meditation.**
1/22- 156.0 lbs, took iron, took supplements, 85 g protein, 7 cups fluid, forgot to meditate. I spent the entire day cleaning my apartment (other than a long dog walk).
1/23 – 156.4 lbs, took supplements but forgot about iron, 66 g protein, 7 cups of fluid and I forgot to mediate again. Feeling a bit discouraged.
1/24 – 155.2 lbs, took iron, took supplements, 65 g protein and 5 cups fluid. No meditation. Sheesh!
1/25 – 153.6 lbs, took iron, took supplements, 77 g protein, and 6 cups fluid. Again, shockingly, no meditation. I need to make a plan, man.
1/26 – 153 lbs, took iron, neglected to take supplements, 76 g protein, 8 cups fluid. I guess I shouldn’t have made meditation a challenge…
1/27 – 152.8 lbs, took iron, took supplements, 108 g protein, 8 cups fluid. I keep NOT meditating, otherwise, I would have had a perfect day! Was super hungry today and ate ALL the things. Definitely pre-menstrual. I expect my weight will be up tomorrow.
1/28 – 151.4 lbs, took iron, took supplements, 82 g protein, 7 cups fluid, no meditation. So, my weight is not up, as expected. Weird. My weight has never been this low in my entire adult life. I had always been between 300-400 lbs since I was 13 (until gastric bypass at age 35). Since gastric bypass, I always seem to float between 170-220. (I did get to 163 in 2019 but maintained that for about 60 seconds.) That being said, I did walk 90K steps between Mon-Fri, last week. (Very energetic dog!) Anyhow, a bit confused as to what I should set my “goal weight” to. And what I can actually maintain. I really don’t want to go up to 220 again. There has to be a way. Open to any suggestions or advice. 😊
1/29 – 152.2 lbs, took supplements, took iron, 107 g protein, 7 cups fluid, no meditation. Some lady with her precious designer dog just yelled at me and my dog-reactive rescue. ☹
1/30
1/31
*I have been in touch with the office of my bariatric surgeon and will have an initial consultation on Feb 15th where I will discuss an appropriate goal weight to maintain and also book an appointment with their dietitian.
**thoughts for next challenge: journalling, affirmations, band/strength exercises, Grow With Jo videos on cold days, zero work absences, 12K steps, X pages of reading

***************************************
1/22 161.4 I'm not at all surprised at my gain today. Yesterday didn't go at all to plan, we ended up eating out for lunch and dinner. I had a small chicken burrito bowl for lunch which was OK but they put too much creamy sauce on it. Then we went to an Indian restaurant for dinner, which is always so hard to find healthy choices. I went for a chicken shaslik (grilled chicken with veggies) and a small rice which I shared with my niece. I did have a couple of beers though and far too many poppadoms. It was a great day, we went bowling and to the arcade, I baked fairy cakes with my niece and played with her loads. I'm so besotted with both her and my tiny baby nephew! He's only a month old and is totally scrumptious!.... Is 42 too old to be trying for a baby? Arghh broody!
I have one child, my daughter is 19 and just about to fly the nest... My husband (37) has none and I fear he'll want them one day...
Will try to fast for most of the day and get a good walk in if there's time. My SIL is recovering from her C section so walking any distance is not possible for her. We'll have to see what time they go home and if there's any daylight left.
Using yesterday's weight (160.8) as my guide to set my goal for this week as today's weight isn't accurate, there's a lot of food still 'in transit'.
1/23 159.8 A relief to see my weight drop back down after the weekend! I fasted most of the day yesterday, until about 5pm then had a few snacks in the evening. I have to watch out for cravings sneaking back in, also the temptation to have a beer in the evening to relax. Back on diligent logging today after not being able to for the last 3 days. It feels good to be back in control. I must get out for a long walk today.
1/24 159.6 Stayed below calorie goal but got carried away with some 68 calorie per bag snacks made from chickpeas, too nice, I had 4! Busy day today, catching a flight to Portugal so no weigh in tomorrow and I'm going to pack food to bring with me. Back in the early hours of Thursday morning. However lots of flights are getting cancelled due to strikes so fingers crossed.
1/25 DNW
1/26 159.6 I'm glad to see my trip didn't cause a spike in my weight (so far, tomorrow may show different) I managed to make sensible choices on the whole, with a few treats. I went over my calories by about double but we did lots of walking. Back to normal today, although I have lots of sleep to catch up on.
1/27 158.6 Oo, nice! Didn't do much yesterday, just rest and recuperate with fasting most of the day. I'm feeling a bit stiff today so need to get some exercise in and some healthy food.
1/28 158.2 Went for a 2 hour walk and got a bit lost due to new fences being erected for development sites. Ended up scrambling through brambles and up muddy hills to find the path. Bit over calories as snacking got the better of me.
1/29 158.8 Felt really fatigued all day, not sure why, maybe just adapting to fewer calories. Went for a dive with hubby and came very close to deciding to go to a restaurant for dinner but I only had 300 calories left for the day so gritted my teeth and went home. Very glad of that decision considering the slight gain regardless this morning.
1/30 158.6 Was feeling really drained again all day but pushed myself to go out for a walk. Got 5.5 miles in but then spent the rest of the evening wrapped in blankets on the sofa. Hope this phase passes soon.

1/30 183.8 Hanging on to as much of my whoosh as possible. I got most of my calories yesterday from m&ms. I did stop eating early and stuck to my time schedule. Today will be trickier with family dinner but it’s just one day and I’ll do the best I can. Most important is to enjoy the time with family.6 -

1/22 143.6 Trying to stick to a 'somewhat' intermittent fasting schedule. Eating the majority of my food before 2pm really seems to work well for me. I've been trying to get my husband on board with this too, but he's having a hard time mentally letting go of the dinnertime meal.

Hello, I’m Amanda. I did great with these 10 day challenges in the summer and the fall but some things have changed health wise and I’m finding it harder to lose the weight. Here’s hoping for a more positive outcome this time around.
OSW: 250 lbs
1/22 SW: 204.4
1/31 GW: 203.4
1/22: 204.4
Up a little bit due to celebratory pizza last night but this will come off. It was a really good reason to celebrate and you can’t miss big milestones in life!
1/23: 201.7 (!)
Weighed myself twice. Hopefully I can stay here!
1/24: 200.7 (!)
Again, weighed myself twice. Bodies are so strange!
(I also realized yesterday I put my weight in as 101, not 201…lol)
1/25: 201.7
Up, down, up, down. Overall a downward trend this round.
1/26: 200.7
Lots of snow here, almost landed myself in a ditch yesterday and I was going slow. Very fatigued too, work is a killer this week. I will keep going!
1/27: 201.7
Feeling very low today. The only thing I can think of to say is TGIF.
1/28: 203.7
I expected this. I ate my emotions yesterday and had a salty snack before bed. I will try to do better today.
1/29: 202.7
1/30: 201.1 (?)
