Christine from Burlington, Ontario, Canada 😊
4th Round
Age 53, 5’5”
Heaviest Weight: 345+ lbs (my highest known weight prior to gastric bypass in Aug 2005)
Weight in March 2022: 220 lbs
Weight beginning this Round: 150.2 lbs
Goal Weight: 145
This round's daily goals:
1. Under 1300 cals per day - ☹
2. Jogging with dog at least once every day -
3. 5 mins daily affirmations - ☹
4. Zero work absences -
2/11 – 150.2 lbs - I did my jogging/walking today with the dog which was super fun! I had a great time! I also didn't skip work but today wasn't a work day for me. However, I neglected to do my affirmations and I didn't stay under 1300 cals as I started to get a really sore stomach before bed and had to eat something to settle my stomach. To start off on a positive note I want to reflect on my successes over the last 3 rounds: Got off the ice-cream sammich habit, started getting closer to my protein and water goals, started taking my iron and supplements regularly, and lost 7.4 lbs. That is pretty frickin amazing. Thanks again, @quiltingjaine! This round I want to focus on getting closer to my goal weight of 145 lbs. I ordered a “running leash” off of Amazon, so I can try jogging with the dog. I have always wanted to run, since I was a kid in the 80s, but I was always too heavy and too afraid of hurting my knees. Now that my weight is lower I think I can try it, and see how it goes. Bear in mind, my new rescue dog is 72 lbs and very strong, so if he sees a rabbit and I am taken off guard I am going down hard. 😊

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.
Since I gave up drinking on July 30, 2022, I have gone from 183 to 149 lbs. Thought I'd share as inspiration.

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 213 (my 145th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine.
Goal for this round; again I'm not looking at a specific number, instead I need to aim to cut out chocolate & biscuits 'cuz I can't stop at 1 or even 2, it starts me on a downward addictive spiral, I want to avoid them both for the whole 10 days, it’s just 10 days, they will still be there after that!! So that and any loss is my aim. 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 taken me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 130. Healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

2/12 182.8 Happy surprise. Lunch out with my DM & DMIL was a success. I had a huge yummy salad and while they enjoyed a second glass of wine I dug in to a peanut butter crème’ brûlée. I also destroyed about a 1/2 of a lb box of locally made chocolates over the next 5 hours. It wasn’t a binge, it was a delicious afternoon 😂. No shame, no regrets. If the scale bounces up, I’ll just keep moving forward making the best choices for myself.9 -

2/12 157.2 (trend 157.4) Oh for goodness sake. I guess I was just really dehydrated yesterday then. Trying desperately to not feel too disheartened. 5 miles walked.

2/12 - 161.6 - Oh, a huge drop after what I expected was going to be a tick up or two! Guess the bloat being gone and TMI back on track did the trick like I thought? Yesterday was not as super healthy as I'd like. I did have a nice balanced "brunch" which held me over for the most part until dinner (I had 2 little mandarin oranges for a snack and sweet treat). BF wanted chili cheese dogs for dinner so that's what we had, but I went very light on the cheese. I kept it mindful and luckily had JUST ENOUGH calories in my budget leftover. According to Fitbit, I was 34 calories over while MFP said I was exactly at 0! My activity for the day wasn't "fun" but I felt better: deep cleaned the kitchen. BF woke up so I didn't get to clean out the fridge to wipe that down (maybe while BF is gone and I'm alone in the house during the day Monday-Wednesday. A work call listening activity? Beats sitting at a desk listening). Sweeping and mopping didn't happen though the poor robot vacuum tried its best. 2 dogs with fallen dried leaves, dried grass, and mud? Poor floors have been swept and mopped/scrubbed so much this week alone, I'm surprised there's still a floor left! Here's to hoping I can stick to my pre-planned, pre-logged day and NOT having the usual 2 week long Superbowl "hangover" (and I mean food baby hangover, not alcohol. BF and I both have to drive 45 minutes home!)

Previous Day's Comments2/11 - 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!

163.1 to 162.3 isn’t a jump up, as I see it.
TYPO! 2/10 is supposed to be "162.1" and therefore 2/11 at 162.3 is 0.2 higher. Oops! Thanks for that! It's updated for today (:2 -

This round three goals:
#1 Do not weigh myself. It'll be hard for me right now but I recognize that I should step away from it.
#2 Strength train or yoga every day, if only for 5 minutes.
#3 No added sugar or processed foods or alcohol.
Wish me luck!
2/10 129.0, end of last round and end of weighing until 2/20.
2/11 DNW this was easier than expected. I chugged a bunch of water to deter me. Met all three goals today. Pomegranate for dessert. Kombucha instead of alcohol.
2/12 DNW I'll post comments on how today went tomorrow.

It’s a sunny Saturday here in ne Indiana. All that bright light after a lot of gloom lifts my spirits, especially since I eat more when it’s gray and cold outside. Have a lovely Saturday, all!
2/12 - 178.6
Boom. But no surprise. I’ve had several days way over calories so my calories average is about 400 over goal. I’m eating even when I’m not hungry. Aaagghhhh. I’ve got to get a grip. I know how to lose weight and very consciously sabotage myself. Why? Well, it’s supposed to warm up today, so I’ll try to get my butt in gear for a long-ish walk with Booker. He’s only 3 months old, so not up to miles and miles yet, but he can still get me out for some exercise. Anyone know any good books or articles on the psychology of overeating? My eating is clearly emotional, not physiological. Sigh.

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.
Female, 51years old, 5'5"

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.
2/12 - 178.0 - Sunshine yesterday (today too!!!) meant head to the woods! The trails are a little janky from the thaws and freezes last week but do-able with spikes on my boots.

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.
2/12 192.9 Good! Walked 6.5 miles yesterday and intermittent fasted. Superbowl party today, so let's
see what happens tomorrow. I will walk before I go, not eat until I get there, and stick with
protiens and veggies. 2 vodka soda limit....

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; 2) eating dinner by 7:30; and, 3) not staying stuck at around 145-146. I WILL be more disciplined this round!
Day/Weight/Comment
2/11: 145
2/12: 146 - Yesterday, we went on a mini-adventure and drove around Fort Monroe then ate dinner in nearby Phoebus. I made good choices for the meal but had two glasses of wine with dinner. Alcohol = extra calories = weight up. I was able to fit my surgery foot into a bike shoe and Peloton it for a 45-minute moderate workout.9 -
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:Exercise & Supplements
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!

Day/Weight/Comment
2/11 – 141.6 tracked and stayed under, 4.95 mile walk yesterday and FINALLY scale moved…… a bit.
2/12 – 141.4 attended a walk/run first thing (7 am), then spend the day cooking and cleaning for a dinner guest. Planned and pre-tracked my day including doing “dessert for two” for the two men and not myself. Felt like a good host but controlled what I had. I did eat base plus all my exercise calories. But happy with how I handled it. For today, I have sorted out how to face the leftoevers, and still be thoughtful. Plan is instead of a large dinner of leftovers, half is going towards lunch, while the other half stays dinner. I get my goodies, still have three meals (instead of starving all day to fit the dinner) and stay on track.

I recommend the Diet Culture Rebel podcast. It is about intuitive eating, which I cannot embrace fully, but there are a lot of good things to learn, all the same. It talks about checking in with your body, to honor your hunger and honor your fullness, etc. Gentle nutrition. I found it helpful.
