@jedashultz, My sincere condolences for the loss of your husband.
@quiltingjaine, Yes, Thank you. Finally a more substantial drop in weight. I'm trying something different. I tried to get back on Keto after being ill, but I couldn't sustain it.
I see you have littles company. Enjoy!1 -
@KellyGurl68 I find it easiest to keep my posts in a “Note” in my phone. I add to that daily and copy, then paste to the thread. When I started logging here I could never find my last post. 🤷♀️1

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.
We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

For those of you who feel as if you are starving yourselves and not losing. . . Here is some interesting information from Gary Taubes book.

New to this challenge. I'm 45. My starting weight was 249 (February 2022) I'm currently 176 and my goal weight is 150. I've been stuck at 174-176 for the last 3 weeks. Ugh. My new fitness goal is to walk/run a 5k! I'm excited for that. I've started using the couch to 5k app. I really shocked myself that I can jog!!!
Goals for the next 10 days: No snacking after dinner/before bed

This challenge will end just as I start a planned diet break in April. I am actually nervous about it. Will I go completely of the rails? Will I be able to stick to maintenance? Will I be able to get back in to it after it is over? I will find out soon!
For these challenges I think I do better if I only have a few goals. So this round I will still keep to the basics: calorie counting and at least 22 active minutes per day.
3/23: 162.7 lbs
I had a hungry day and ate close to maintenance. I was also very inactive step wise although I did reach 22 active minutes on the elliptical but didn't do my usual walk. I am glued to my desk all day. I usually only get up twice: once for a cup of tea and once for lunch and a toilet break. I really should drink more water to force me to get up more often but I feel self conscious getting up a lot. Everybody is glued to their desks where I work.

Hi, I'm Charissa - Round 217
Thank you, again, @QuiltingJaine for hosting this challenge!
Just going to take it day by day.....again. Seemed to work in 217. I like the dates of this round and my goal is just to maintain. I will be on vacation for 4 days and it could go either way! The nice part is we usually eat at decent restaurants and technically, can't go back for seconds so there's the portion control. The challenge will be offerings of appetizers (guilty) desserts (it depends) and fancy drinks! BUT...there should be lots of walking so my goal is simply to maintain.

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.

@quiltingjaine They count on it every day. This weekend we are hiring a pet sitter for two days. Sure is challenging to find a sitter who is confident in walking cats on a leash. They are actually easy, as they have been doing it for 4 1/2 years, but everyone assuming they will behave like what you imagine a cat on a leash might be like. That's great Oskar goes out. Driveway is plenty good. He is getting enrichment either way. Most of our walks are "wanders" as we don't get far.4 -
@jedaschultz I’m so sorry about your husband.1

I’m back now after a long hard two months. My DH of 38 years passed away on March 9 just two weeks ago today. He was hospitalized for a little over a month and fought hard but he was just too sick. I have a special needs adult daughter to care for and will do my best for her and another daughter and SIL who live nearby. Getting myself healthy is even more of a priority now.
@jedaschultz So sorry for your loss and all you have been through. Glad you are remembering to take care of you. It is so easy to forget. Welcome back!2 -
Looking forward to joining this challenge. My goals for the challenge are to log consistently and to avoid snacking after dinner.

@GirlOnTheRebound Hey, thanks for that! I am fine. Sorry I have been AWOL! So nice of you to check in. I have been busy with work which makes me tired and so I haven't had much to say. Also, yesterday and the day before I have just been eating anything in sight, to the point where I have given up on logging as I lose track!! Eeeek! I am hoping that the fatigue and extreme hunger (esp for carbs!!) is related to being premenstrual... and not that my body is now preparing to binge my way back up to 200 lbs!!!3 -

Also the battery in my Renpho scale broke so I had to use my old scale and I think it weighs me a little lighter. I'll finish off this round with the same scale then use my Renpho for the next one! I'm psyched for this accountability though.... Lawd knows nothing else has been working for me 😵💫
@KellyGurl68 Welcome! I started out by keeping my entries in a Word document, and now I am glad I did - because I have been able read back and make observations about what worked and what did not (for example to see that I always seem to eat more before TOM, etc.). So I have everything in a Word doc, and I type up my daily entry in Word, and when I'm ready, I post it in here. I started out by just writing a couple of words every day... now my entries are pretty... um... extreme. LOL! (They have been referred to as "novellas" on here!! LOL!!) But I find it super helpful to write out my thoughts early in the morning and reflect on my goals and sort of set my intention for the day. Hope that helps!2 -

My 8th Round
Age 53, 5’5”
Heaviest Weight: 345+ lbs (my highest known weight prior to gastric bypass in Aug 2005)
Weight When I Started “Just Give Me 10 Days” - 157.6 lbs – January 13th, 2023
Weight Beginning this Round: 144.2 lbs
Goal Weight: 140 lbs
This round's daily goals:
1. 1500 calories 10/10 days – ☹
2. 15K steps 10/10 days - ☹
3. Attend work 5.5/5.5 days – 😊

3/23 – 144.2 lbs -
3/24 – 143.8 lbs – Well, looks like I didn’t have much to say yesterday! I haven’t been doing very well in terms of eating the past two days. Figures, after I wrote about “not bingeing” in my last entry in the last round! The day after I wrote about that I started feeling an extreme hunger, especially for carbs!! I seem compelled to keep eating, all day long! I am not “bingeing” per se, but close to it, if that makes sense to anyone else on here who has binge eating disorder. I think (hope) that I am just premenstrual… Work has been super busy but I am feeling really good about the work I’ve been able to crank out over the last two weeks. I haven’t missed any days out of the last 10 working days (since I recovered from gastro) and I was able to provide my boss with documentation from my doctor proving that I am under her care etc. with regards to all the absences I had over the past few months (depression). I have had a bit of positive feedback from my boss, and I think the only reason she hasn’t been able to provide more constructive feedback is that she is swamped (and I feel for her). So anyway, hopefully I can finish the week off strong, today! I have 1.5 days vacation booked next week, which I am looking forward to. On Tuesday it is hubby’s 41st birthday (yes, he is 12 years younger – all my cougars in the house!!) and we have a few fun things planned. We are going to get mani-pedis, we are going to take the dog to a “sniff spot” to play (which btw, if you are a dog owner, I really recommend this app!! You can “rent” out places for an hour or two to let your dog play off-leash, which is amazing for owners of reactive dogs!), then we are meeting my niece and her fiancé for dinner. I also want to buy him a gift but I have no idea what to get him. He will be buying a new “trucking specific” GPS, but that is really a work thing, not a birthday present. If anyone has any suggestions for gifts for a super-hot 41-year-old guy, holla. 😉 Okay, uh, why am I going on about this, in a weight-loss related forum? I am 100% not sure. LOL. I guess I have a lot on my mind and I think when that happens, I tend to lose focus on my eating/exercise, which I bet some folks on here can relate to. It’s almost as if I have to be obsessive in my thinking in order to keep it front of mind to achieve any success. I bought another week’s worth of Jenny Craig yesterday. I am finding it helpful to have around, just because I have zero interest in cooking, this past while, so this allows for some sort of “nutrition”, and I use the word loosely. Lol. Better than living off of cheese strings and Diet Pepsi! So when I went on their website to order my Jenny food, it asked me to state a goal weight. So… I put in 135 lbs. Like a crazy maniac. LOL!! I am not sure what possessed me to put that in there!! But it is less than 10 lbs away, so… potentially achievable?? If I can stop eating the whole damn house… I will try to dial it in a bit today. I have recently bumped my step goal up to 15K/day, which I was doing good with last week but haven’t achieved in the last two days. I work from home today so I should be able to get those steps in. And I really need to get some fluids in – the last few days have been terrible (as in, all I drank was a coffee in the morning… that’s it…). Wish me luck. And if you have read this far, thanks for listening.

The blasted wagon threw me right off last night. Emotional eating snack binge. But I’m climbing back on and am going to try to hang on for the rest of the round.
@SheilaBoneham You and me both, gurl. Make room for me on the wagon, and give me a hand up! You and I can help each other try to be a bit more successful today. Although in reading the posts on here it seems like there are a few of us who are struggling! I think we need to focus on the positive, look for the small wins, and try to just keep moving forward (and not fret about our past mistakes). We got this!!

My new fitness goal is to walk/run a 5k! I'm excited for that. I've started using the couch to 5k app. I really shocked myself that I can jog!!!
@RenaPink11 OOH-OOH-OOH!! Can we be friends?? I just started trying to jog, too! And I also was shocked that I can actually do it!! Maybe I should try a couch to 5K! I'm super stoked about it and would love to have you in my corner!! Good job on your weight-loss, too! You are killin' it!!!

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 218 (my 149th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine you are a star!
Goal for this round; again I'm not looking at a specific number, any loss and keep my binge free streak going – it is helping me keep mindful when I’m tempted! Keep within calories & macros. I can do this but, consistency is paramount, let’s do it again for just 10 days as the reward is great!!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.3/22 137.8 – 11.53 miles walked, 1/3 exercise calories eaten back. A gain of 1.2 pounds which is disappointing, I have been supper hungry this round, but I have been binge free for the whole 10 days again, which is a brill. NSV for me. I’ll just keep marching on!!

HI EVERYONE!
Brad, 27 Years old, 6ft 3', North Yorkshire (UK)
OG Start weight - 142.0kg
Lowest weight - 85.9kg
Goal weight - 90kg (for my wedding in March 2024)
Start weight - 120.2kg
R217 Finish - 117.1kg / 258.2lbs / 18st 6.2lbs (-3.1kg)
3/23 - 117.4kg / 258.8lbs / 18st 6.8lbs (+0.3kg) - Not the best start but my calories did fall apart yesterday and they probably will today (partners birthday). Hopefully I can reign it back in towards the end of the 10 days!
3/24 - 119.1kg / 262.6lbs / 18st 10.6lbs (+1.7kg) - Good god... So that's what one day off calorie counting can do to me... I think it would be a mircale if I can turn this 10 days into a loss now... Back on the wagon though. Lesss go.
