Round 215
February 21 - March 2 , 2023
Please join us starting on 2/21 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 215!
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. You have only one hour to edit your post. 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.

Will people please recommend a new habit goal to focus on this next 10 days? I definitely want to keep up my progress from the last 2 rounds of getting better at the healthy habits I abandoned last fall. February turned into the month of no alcohol, sugar, processed foods, and I'm inclined to keep it up through the end of the month. I am still having trouble believing that I've gone this long without a single drink. I've surprised myself more with my abstinence from alcohol than from sweets.
Does anyone have an idea for a non-scale goal to add to this round? I'm thinking about a healthy habit to start forming, like something that cues a good morning or nightly routine. I'm brainstorming something that motivates me to make the day a good one.5 -

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.

Hi! I’m Amanda in Virginia. I missed the last round but I'm back now! Last round started with my birthday weekend, which was wonderful, but then the household caught a stomach bug that put us in straight survival mode—which is the main reason my weight is at an all-time low. My stomach still hasn’t quite returned to normal. Ready to focus again, and I hope the kids can stay in daycare for a while. I’m traveling on business for the first few days of the challenge but hoping to fully participate! Even though I lost the last couple pounds in an unhealthy way, I’d like to avoid regaining them!

@shmmm3 - you could try meditation, writing down some positive affirmations, journalling, strength training... I think that is all I can think of, right now.

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 214 (my 146th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine.
Goal for this round; again I'm not looking at a specific number, any loss and keeping clear of 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.

Back at home now and ready to move on to the next round.

It's Pancake Day today so I have made banana protein pancakes for breakfast for the week, really tasty and satisfying as they feel a bit naughty but only 130 cals each, 10g protein, 15g carbs.
The recipe in case anyone wants to try them:
Into a blender put
3 ripe bananas
110g rolled oats
110g chocolate protein powder
8 egg whites
4 whole eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
Blend until smooth
Divide batter into 12 equal amounts and cook individually in a non-stick frying pan, flipping to cook both sides until golden. No oil necessary.
Feeling pretty shakey this morning after exercising for 10 days in a row, so I could really do with a recovery day. Think I'll eat a couple of hundred more calories today and try not to do anything too active.

Day, Weight, Comment
2/21 - 161.4 - Well, I've dropped some of the bloat, while some of this will stick around until TOM starts. Any day now.... I don't feel awful today, either. Fortunately yesterday's hangover feeling didn't last very long. I also ended up getting a good walk with the pups. Today I'm up a half hour earlier. I'm trying a new thing where I'm waking up a half hour earlier to drink coffee before a workout. It's almost like a pre-workout for me and helps me get through my workout better. So far, I like the coffee thing, not so much the wake up thing. It also should make Thursday easier with only a half hour difference in wake-up times versus the full hour difference previously. It's also been in the upper 70s, lower 80s so I spent the last hour and a half of work sitting on my back deck enjoying the weather before the pups and I went for a walk. Goal is to do that again today. It's a bit too hot to open windows in the house this week so I'm very grateful I did it last week when it was a touch cooler. Coffee half gone so time to hit post and catch up reading yours! EDIT: I did the spin bike for cardio sprints and they're complete.

Will people please recommend a new habit goal to focus on this next 10 days? I definitely want to keep up my progress from the last 2 rounds of getting better at the healthy habits I abandoned last fall. February turned into the month of no alcohol, sugar, processed foods, and I'm inclined to keep it up through the end of the month. I am still having trouble believing that I've gone this long without a single drink. I've surprised myself more with my abstinence from alcohol than from sweets.
Does anyone have an idea for a non-scale goal to add to this round? I'm thinking about a healthy habit to start forming, like something that cues a good morning or nightly routine. I'm brainstorming something that motivates me to make the day a good one.
I've found that I like to journal something I'm grateful for in the morning and something I'm happy about in the evening. It makes me think about the things that happen during the day that are sort of "behind the scenes" or happening without me realizing it that I miss and I've become more aware. It doesn't take too much. I have a journal, but even sitting and thinking about it for a minute or two?
I also have started trying to read before bed and avoid electronics as much as possible an hour before lights out to get better, more restful sleep.6 -
GIVE ME 10 DAYS – ROUND 215
Round 215
February 21 – March 2, 2023
61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
Goal for 215. Continue with good tracking, and exercise. Add more higher BPM days into my cardio. Organize the supplements I’ve been meaning to take and actually begin taking them daily instead of thinking about it. Was hoping for 5 lb loss for the month on February which would be 137.4 (I apparently can’t do math as round 214 I said that was 138.4). I don’t think I will make that, based on rounds 213 and 214. BUT, getting under 140 and finishing the round under 140 is very doable. Simple goals. Trying to not bite off two much, too fast.
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!

2/21- 139.4 Ok, so that was a pleasant surprise. I apparently got the “under 140” goal right away. (not that I had far to go) Yesterday, I did one lap alone, then two slower with the girls. Later rode 6.5 miles on the bike with hubby, and stopped for a margarita along the way. Even later, went in the pool. Kept focused on my tracking. That margarita cost me a ton of calories, it appears. Today, will be a different challenge. Key West with DS and girlfriend. Calories will be a challenge and will also be first social day out while juggling Invisalign. I will say, if you want to stop snacking and your teeth are crooked, get Invisalign. :P Last night, I was super super hungry. I have a whole tray of Chocolate Butter Mochi. But ate none as I did not want to have to bother with taking out my trays, having the snack, and water picking, brushing, flossing and recleaning the trays. All with a timer running.

You may already have these in your mix, but committing to honest tracking every day good or bad, or any variation of added activity is another. If you look at other member posts, you will likely see a goal of a daily length of activity time. That could also be done differently to account for varying days by having a total for the full round (that way one day can be higher or lower). In 2021, I had joined a 24 hour exercise monthly challenge and its goal was to reach 24 hours worth of exercise over the course of a
month. If you are not including exercise yet and plan to start, do yourself a favor and take those "before" measurements! Not fun at the front end, but nice to have when you see what you accomplish.6 -

Will people please recommend a new habit goal to focus on this next 10 days? I definitely want to keep up my progress from the last 2 rounds of getting better at the healthy habits I abandoned last fall. February turned into the month of no alcohol, sugar, processed foods, and I'm inclined to keep it up through the end of the month. I am still having trouble believing that I've gone this long without a single drink. I've surprised myself more with my abstinence from alcohol than from sweets.
Does anyone have an idea for a non-scale goal to add to this round? I'm thinking about a healthy habit to start forming, like something that cues a good morning or nightly routine. I'm brainstorming something that motivates me to make the day a good one.
You may already have these in your mix, but committing to honest tracking every day good or bad, or any variation of added activity is another. If you look at other member posts, you will likely see a goal of a daily length of activity time. That could also be done differently to account for varying days by having a total for the full round (that way one day can be higher or lower). In 2021, I had joined a 24 hour exercise monthly challenge and its goal was to reach 24 hours worth of exercise over the course of a
month. If you are not including exercise yet and plan to start, do yourself a favor and take those "before" measurements! Not fun at the front end, but nice to have when you see what you accomplish.
@shmmm3
I second the before measurements and raise it before photos, too! Only for your eyes, but there's so many changes you miss when you see yourself every day. But seeing yourself with, for example, one month's worth of differences can be really amazing.5 -

Nice to see a drop after a few days of stall. I need to stay away from certain pantries and fridge areas this round. Maybe kick start some kind of exercise habit.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.7
