Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 214

RockinRobyn672 · February 2023

SW: 146.2 / -0.4 pounds last round

Hi All - Robyn here in SE Virginia. I'll be doing mostly strength and Pilates workouts during this round while continuing to recover from foot surgery. My primary goals are: 1) no unplanned snacking; and, 2) eating dinner by 7:30. I WILL be more disciplined this round!

Day/Weight/Comment
2/11: 145 - Yesterday, I made a very healthy smoothie for lunch with a banana, peanut butter, etc. It was so delicious and satisfying; however, I was starving by 3ish and got into various snacks - several small handfuls of cashews, 7 low fat Triscuits, and a frozen yogurt bar. Instead of just giving up like I normally do, I logged the food, which, with breakfast and lunch totaled up to my calories for the day. For dinner, I thought about skipping it but didn't want DH to eat alone, so I made a spinach salad and ate 1/3 (instead of 1/2) of a small frozen pizza. Oh, and instead of the high calorie IPA I had planned for dinner, I drank a couple low calorie NA beers. I also worked out for 45 minutes yesterday doing weights and Pilates. I was very surprised with my weight this morning. Down over a pound from yesterday. A little bit of discipline paid off. I WILL be more disciplined this round.

This is going to be hard for me but one my goals this round is to not weigh myself until day 10. This round my challenge is three part.

My plan for Valentine's Day: I told my husband I only want chocolate that's 70% cocoa or higher. Making chocolate covered strawberries together is my favorite Valentine's activity so this year they'll be dark chocolate nd end of weighing until 2/20.

@shmmm3 Great idea for Valentine's day! Regarding the not weighing, when I worked in the office many years ago (I work from the home office now), I was able to sign up for Weight Watchers at work, which was great. We met weekly in the office during lunch. I lost the weight I wanted and kept it off for years. The WW leader made us all promise not to weigh more than once a week. That worked well for me. I think that sometimes when I weigh every day and have a good weight-loss day, I reward myself the next day with food. My goal is NOT to do that this round, i.e. reward myself with food. For now I do plan to weigh every day. I'm obsessed! lol

Another round friends!!! I'm really enjoying checking in with all of you every morning as part of my motivation routine...so far it's working again (I used these 10 day challenges years ago and should have started back much sooner). Hubby and I have a trip to Mexico booked at the end of March, we missed having the big celebrations we wanted for our 25th anniversary and both of our 50th birthdays over the worst of the pandemic so this will be our make up trip. I'd like to get down below 170 before we go...and then hop back on here when we get back to get down to my ultimate target.

2/11 - 178.0 - lighter walk yesterday, saved some calories for dinner as both boys were out and I made risotto with lemon trout and green beans for hubby and I for a nice date dinner. The risotto is a bit of a calorie bomb but worth it every now and then. Stuck to one serving of risotto but had more wine than I should have.

I will be tracking what I eat because I'm taking my own food with me for the day. I'll be at the hospital seeing my MIL, so no exercise, unless you count walking in and out.

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Day, Weight, Comment
2/11 - 162.3 - Very slight jump up. It's a combination of things, I'm sure. Despite my probiotics, I'm sure they are not eliminating all dairy bloat. We had homemade pepperoni pizza last night. My first attempt! We all agreed better (and cheaper) than frozen. But whew, cheese. Always gets me. Also, TMI, didn't really happen yesterday, but on the normal schedule today so all good there. Not sure today's plans other than my workout schedule says to do 15-30 minutes minimum of fun movement activity. I'll either walk the dogs or do a yoga practice before bed depending on what ends up happening today. I have pre-logged what I know of for tomorrow (Galentine's Brunch then Superbowl Party). Despite my plans to make a best-effort, I'm using today as as super healthy day to help balance out what I anticipate as a super not healthy day tomorrow. And if it ends up being somewhat healthy, that much better for me! We are leaving at halftime anyway as BF has to be at the airport by 4-430 Monday morning for a business trip. More on those plans later, but I've planned my path that will be the most likely to provide success. Not sure if I'll have time to check in tomorrow, depends on when I wake up vs when I need to leave to get to brunch on time. I'll be back Monday, though!

Hi, I'm Charissa, ready to go for Round 214/5.
I love these 10 days at a time rounds! Very doable. Better than a week as you tend to follow the same up and downs per week and it doesn't always show your progress. Also being able to refocus after 10 days is great! And boy do I need to refocus this round

Had a tough round 213 with lots of celebrations and dinners out. This round starts with a birthday party, yet another dinner and then Superbowl. Monday - no reason to not be back on track!

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!

I grew lettuce in it all summer and winter and just pulled beets out of the bottom layer and replanted. I’ll try to remember to post a picture of it when everything sprouts.

GIVE ME 10 DAYS – ROUND 214

Round 214
February 11 - 20, 2023

61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).

Goal for 214. Make the scale move and leave that stubborn number, 142.4. Diversify my exercise. Become more active on this group. I had been hoping to lose 5 lb/month for Feb, March, April, which would mean making it to 138.4 by Feb 28. Will accomplish what I can, as anything is better than what I have been doing the last year and a half. Habits are changing for the good.

History:

Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, and a DGS. We have three parents, 88(father), 86(mother), 84(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Selling family home distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse. A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

CW 193.1
GW 170

I haven't done this challenge in quite a few years, but decided I need to lose this weight before my 60th birthday in
July. Adding this challenge to my routine to help keep the momentum going. There are a few challenges this week with a Super Bowl party and Valentines, so I thought this would give me an extra layer of accountability.

2/11 193.8 I went out last night. Food choices were good but I had 1 skinny marg and 3 vodka sodas during the
night. I plan on walking 6 miles today and no alcohol.

I took a few weeks off for travel and laziness. Then a week ago I badly sprained my ankle. My scale is currently going in the wrong direction, so it’s time for me to turn things around!

64 years old, female and ready to creep downward again!

This is going to be hard for me but one my goals this round is to not weigh myself until day 10. This round my challenge is three part.

My plan for Valentine's Day: I told my husband I only want chocolate that's 70% cocoa or higher. Making chocolate covered strawberries together is my favorite Valentine's activity so this year they'll be dark chocolate nd end of weighing until 2/20.

@shmmm3 Great idea for Valentine's day! Regarding the not weighing, when I worked in the office many years ago (I work from the home office now), I was able to sign up for Weight Watchers at work, which was great. We met weekly in the office during lunch. I lost the weight I wanted and kept it off for years. The WW leader made us all promise not to weigh more than once a week. That worked well for me. I think that sometimes when I weigh every day and have a good weight-loss day, I reward myself the next day with food. My goal is NOT to do that this round, i.e. reward myself with food. For now I do plan to weigh every day. I'm obsessed! lol

@rockinrobyn672 I worked for WW for 12 years as a receptionist. There were weeks I worked over 10 meetings. Heard plenty of leaders, and as a receptionist, I have talked with too many members to count. Anyhow, it is fantastic that you have found a weighing pattern that supports your needs and personality. Over time, I developed at different answer to the question of "how often should I weigh?". My answer was to examine oneself and figure out the frequency that is most supportive. For me, I need every day. At the same time, I know there are individuals that react badly to daily, or even weekly, results. I can argue the pros and cons for each. Interesting that you have liked different methods at different times.

02/11 -193.0- (Trend weight 195.7) A great foodie day yesterday, a horrible foodie night in front of the TV last night. God must have intervened. I didn’t really deserve this drop but I hope it will stick. I put in extra exercise last night when filled with guilt and regret. I will watch my diet today with a Grateful Heart. I hope this number sticks and continues its downward trajectory. We all know how things can show up later on the scale. Sun is out today in Northern Michigan. Unusually warm weather coming this week for February! Wow! How it lifts the spirits and makes me feel hopeful and renewed! Good luck this round everyone as we walk this path together!

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!

Xiao_Ya_ · February 2023

It's my first time with this challenge, but I like the shorter duration; it seems mentally easier to keep track of. I gained 8 pounds over the holiday season (ended up about 103.5 lbs), but I'm trying to take daily walks and do a quick workout every day. I've been able to keep my self-control much better over the past week, so I'm happy with that start.
