64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 216 (my 147th). 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. I can do this but, consistency is paramount, lets do it just for 10 days!!

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.
End of round 69 134.2 lbs

3/2 139.2 – disappointed at that, but we all know the ups and downs of weighing daily!!
10.69 miles walked yesterday. Less than 20% exercise calories eaten back. A pound gained during this round but, considering the major 2 days binge and the high fat meal cooked by SIL, that is to be expected. Must be consistent next round – déjà vu?

SW RND 216 139.2

3/3 139.2 - no structured walking – child minding little DGS, hence calories 127 calories over; a total of1506 consumed, but made good choices.

3/3 – 148.4 lbs – Well, I am really pleased with my progress! I was looking back and I started these challenges on January 13, 2023 and I have lost 9.2 lbs since that time! Thanks @quiltingjaine! Considering the time of year (poor mental health + bad weather usually = annual weight gain, for me), and the fact that I am pretty close to my goal weight, this is wonderful! I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I am TWO HUNDRED POUNDS LESS THAN I WAS IN 2005. Like wth? That is so bizarre. So bizarre. I mean it has been a roller coaster of losing and gaining since gastric bypass, for sure, but still. And now I have a glimmer of hope of being able to maintain this weight (145-150 lbs) by just continuing to log my calories, and walking every single day. I mean, it’s a pretty simple formula. It’s not rocket science. LOL! Anyhow, honestly, if I can lose 0.8 lbs by the end of this challenge, that would mean I have lost 10 lbs in 2 months, and that is more than okay by me! 😊 You will see that I have set A LOT of goals for this round. What I did was look back over the last 5 rounds and put together every single goal I have attempted since January 13th. (I left out a goal I had originally set about calming down on ice-cream sammiches, as I have completely stopped eating those.) Some goals I have been very successful at, some I didn’t achieve even once. So, I thought that for this round I’d try to go all in and challenge myself! The only new goal I’ve added is getting to the gym. I have reinstated my gym membership and I want to get back into the habit going 2-3 times per week. Anyhow, in the spirit of the success I have had over the last few days by posting this up in the morning and then feeling like I need to live up to all the “happy faces” I’ve projected for the day ahead, I am going to give myself all happy faces above and then do my absolute best to stay the course. Let’s go people! Let’s do this!! 😊

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
R215 EW 185.8

3/02- 187.6 serious DOMS!!!! I enjoy a good sore feeling after a workout but this is the soreness that brings tears to the eyes. I did it to myself!
The weight bump doesn’t bother me at all as I know exactly what’s going on. The physical pain though, that is real!

Day, Weight, Comment
3/03 - 159.5 - I was right, body was playing tricks and didn't want to show 150s last round. Hectic day. BigBro's birthday dinner (stromboli) and "cake" (chocolate zucchini bread and he opted for Andes mint melted chocolate glaze vs the lemon glaze from last year). Then BF found 3 beautiful "family" vehicles (3 row seating) at our local dealership on the used lot. He ended up getting approved and bought one (his credit was wrecked from his ex wife so I've been helping him and teaching him how to rebuild it slowly so this is a HUGE deal to get approved 100% by himself). Another nasty storm blew through right before dinner. Luckily the worst of it (hail and super high winds) just barely missed us. No walk with pups as we still had rain and horrible (40-60mph gusts) wind. Hoping better for today. Will need to go into town after work so hoping dinner is early enough to walk the pups after. About to knock out today's workout. I almost skipped it and slept in as my alarm woke me mid-dream. I didn't have the patience to set a midpoint alarm between my normal and my "you're late for work" alarm but I ended up waking up fully between my snoozed alarm and my bladder haha! I'm excited to sleep in tomorrow, though.

Robyn here in SE Virginia. My goals this round are: 1) to continue planning/logging meals; and 2) NOT to reward my last round's success with extra food intake (this is what I normally do). I lost 4.6 pounds last round (yay!). My plan is to hold off on weighing again until the end of this round.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/3: DNW - Last night was a night out. I pre-planned my food choices, so did pretty well there, but I had an extra drink and a square of Ghirardelli chocolate once we were back at home. Today will be easier because I'll be cooking dinner. Nevertheless, this is still better than before I first joined "Just give me 10 days". I'm not sure when I joined. I think it was something like Round 205. Although I haven't made the progress I wanted, looking back I realize that I've come a long way since then. I'm doing a lot less late night/unplanned snacking. I really appreciate this group.

@clprieur What a great success story you are and congrats on your "10 Day" successes. I have gone up and down since I started (Round 205, I think). The last round has been my most successful. I'm determined to keep this up until I've reached my goal as well. I want to lose 10 more pounds. Surely, I can do that over the next several rounds! Like you said, it's not rocket science!

/logged all; lots of slow walking/ Ok, so my walking was at Bass Pro Shops. It was actually more brain exercise than anything.

Today is a day of eating out. Lunch with a friend at Cracker Barrel; Supper with a few “alumni” from a firm I used to work for 25 years ago (an adult beverage may be consumed.); Followed by a euchre get together with another set of friends. No adult beverages, but plenty of trash to eat and some possible sleep deprivation.

And the whole day is stacking up to be “introvert behavior” deprivation. That will wear me out. HA!

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.

Goals:

#1 Eat a good diet of MOSTLY no added sugar, ultra processed foods, or alcohol.
#2 Strength train or yoga or some actitivy at least 30 minutes per day.

80/20 rule is in effect this round. I'm trying for weigh in Wednesdays through March.

3/3 DNW After dinner I logged my day of eating and saw I was under 100 g carbs and way below calories. I'd had entirely air fried vegetables and chicken for my meals and snacks so I was low on both fat and carbs at the end of the day. To rectify the situation, I put together a high carb and high fat dessert that I am now inclined to share with those who aren't low carb: frozen dates, sliced in half but not all the way through (open like a clam shell), filled with a small bit of Neufchatel cheese, and back in the freezer for the cheese to harden. These are my new favorite things! High calorie for sure, but sometimes you need the boost. If I let myself go to bed with too much of a deficit, I can't sustain my diet goals the next day.

Day/Weight/Comment

3/03 - 180 💚 👟 🧊
I’m pretty disgusted with myself, which I know doesn’t help, but there it is. I had one great, no-snacking round in Jan and then completely lost the thread. I’m restarting journaling today—I think it helps—and will really try not to “night nosh.” I went for a long meandering “sniff walk” with the puppy yesterday, including his first walk in the woods. That was a lovely hour or so. Not the faster walking I need to get back to, but peaceful, and great for his mental and emotional development. Maybe mine, too! It’s really cold and windy this morning with freezing rain on its way, so I’m going to bundle up and go for a walk right now. Might improve my attitude. I have a little job to do that’I’ve been putting off for two months, and I realized last night that not doing it is freezing me up from doing other things, if that makes sense. So I’m starting it today, hoping to finish over the weekend. I’ve been reading and rereading all your inspiring posts about success on this journey to rev myself up. Thank you for those!

I decided it was time to get serious about losing weight on January 1 when I weighed in at 210. My ultimate goal is to be in the 160's by my 60th birthday in July, but my first goal was to be 185 by the wedding I am going to March 16. I will hopefully reach that goal this round.

@SheilaBoneham You're still committed and should proud of yourself! You've come a long way. The <1300 cal a day might be a too low number to keep up for 10 whole days without being super irritable and fatigued. Have you tried cycling every other day as low cal? So, day 1 is 1300, day 2 is 1800-2000, day 3 is 1300, day 4 is 1500-2000, etc. I found that I could not sustain such a major calorie deficit for more than a few days at a time but cycling back and forth helped make it sustainable and you only have to deprive yourself every other day. The average of the week/round still comes out in a large calorie deficit.

As for after-dinner snacking, I tried to stop and never could entirely, especially when in a big calorie deficit. I recommend amending your goal to "no UNPLANNED snacking". The best tool for me that worked last month was to plan ahead and log the approximate calories for an after-dinner snack in my food diary. Or, find yourself high volume low calorie treats you can let yourself munch without guilt as you phase it out of your habits. Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, air popped popcorn with nutritional yeast are a few of the examples I'll go for when I can't say no to snacking but I need to keep the calories low. Especially if you pre-log a 300 calorie after dinner snack to fit in your daily goals, and then don't find yourself wanting it, you've given yourself the permission to eat it and the option to skip it.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ROUND 216
