GIVE ME 10 DAYS – ROUND 219
Round 219
April 2 – April 11, 2023
61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
Goal for 2019. New round, new month, so my goals are a bit for both. So I have just under a month before heading back to the real world that set me off on my year and a half of bad behavior, and 25 lb weight gain. For April, I want to continue to cement in healthy actions so that the odds are greater that I will stay with them when I return to Massachusetts where my parents are, and I return to frequent responsibilities on their behalf. Can’t let frustrations turn into not caring, ceasing exercise, and binging (often ice cream). Over the course of April, I would like to lose another 5 lbs. That will get down 18 lb for 2023, and to a very nice weight. My 121.X of July 2021 may have not been sustainable. Plus I had gotten there also due to stress, before the stress sent me in my more typical way to eating and gaining. I would be thrilled to eventually be at the weight I was for my daughter’s wedding, 126.
So, to recap, lose 5 lb during April, and to support that, losing 2 lb for round 2019 would be awesome!!
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!

Day/Weight/Comment
4/2 – 134.6 Fully expected it this morning. Yesterday, I did great while in Key West sightseeing with the kids and then seeing them off at the airport. Easy hour+ trip home. Get home and promptly ate a Mickey Mouse ice cream (left over from purchases for DGS), then I ate another, then it continued. Probably on the order of 2000 junk calories. It’s out of my system. Today is a new day. I am up early and planning on one of my longer versions of walking. Food’s today are healthy and balanced, and will be getting my home all back in order.
4/3 – 133.4 Amazing how a single “off” day can be ok if I don’t spiral and turn it into many. I did track and count everything yesterday as well as walk a bit extra. Skipped popcorn at the movies (John Wick), but again, Invisalign helps with this.
In a different note, I had an interesting observation yesterday. I have “cleared my throat” for years. On the order of 10, 15, maybe more years. It was identified as a sign of LPR, or silent reflux. I noticed last night, that I have not cleared my throat now in months. I know one action to help with LPR is to not eat in the evening, and I always have, including evening coffee every night. With Invisalign, no night eating for me, and gave up evening coffee so my teeth are done after dinner. If anything, I drink water at night. I have also noticed on random nights with overeating, that I will taste or sense acid in my mouth during the night or when I get up. Just interesting. I’ll continue to study myself.

When I suffer with sciatica I find that walking eases it; it's sitting around that cripples me !
Thanks for the tip! I haven’t had it before (it’s so painful!) but my experience this weekend has been the same - it’s far worse when I’ve been stationary for a bit. So, I’ve been trying, just very slowly and stiffly! Can’t wait to really get moving again!
I have to second the walking! After my surgery my surgeon said walking will be the best thing for me to keep from locking up during my episodes. I hope you're improving and mobile again very very soon!4 -

4/2 149.2 (trend 149.5) A little up again, no tmi is probably why. Gym was lower body, I really enjoyed it and am making good progress. Took DD shopping to buy some shoes for her granddad's funeral and picked up a couple of tops for myself but I'm not sure I like them. I'm really not into the styles in the shops at the moment, far too much floral and floaty stuff, it just looks frumpy on me.
Not quite enough steps, I'm blaming the gym WiFi dropping out, so I got bored on the treadmill, but really it's because I spent the evening watching films on the sofa when I should have been getting some chores done. Had a few G&Ts, then I got a bit snacky and had a chocolate and salted caramel hot cross bun. Not that nice, I much prefer the ordinary spiced ones. I think I was slightly in self-sabotage mode last night, not sure why. Maybe it's because I get depressed and obsessed when I'm trying to lose and it doesn't happen. At the moment I'm feeling pleased with my progress and more comfortable in my body and I'm scared of feeling disappointed again so I'm wary of trying to push on for more loss. Something to watch out for as I definitely need to lose at least another stone, so I don't want to get lax.
Calories over and protein well under.
4/3 150.0 (trend 149.6) Argh! OK I'm not surprised, OH came back from his trip and we went out for beers, so this is carb bloat. Didn't have any proper lunch or dinner, just some snacks, but still definitely well over calories. I need to get back to taking this weight loss malarkey seriously.

Good Morning!
I am playing a game with myself & setting little daily goals of losing 0.35lbs per day and using those goals to help me stay motivated and on track is a way of fasting that I saw in another group. Using my bathroom scale as a weight loss tool works for me. There are days that my weight increases by 2 pounds or more, and I understand that this is mainly water weight, and can go away as quickly as it came. That is why there are times that my daily goal and my weight that day are pounds apart. I am not expecting to lose 2 pounds of body fat by the next day. But it is possible to lose 2 pounds of water weight by the next day, so I stick to my goals. If it takes longer than one day to lose that water weight, I extend my fast for another day. Sticking to my plan, I will reach my 1st goal weight of 172 pounds on September 16 2023. This will put me in the overweight weight range which I have not seen since 2007. At that point I will decrease the daily amount to 0.2lbs per day to get to my ultimate goal of 140 by my birthday in February.
End of round 218 231.
4/2 Goal:229.4 /Actual 231.8 ❌.
4/3 Goal: 229.2/Actual 232.6 ❌. Well, that is certainly way too many days not meeting my goal. I know it is water weight since I did log what I ate & I was within my calorie goal. It doesn’t matter because this is what keeps me from reaching my goal. I expect to fast until Wednesday, but I am not sure I am ready. If I don’t feel well I will eat but I would like to get a bit ahead since we are going out for supper on Thursday for my daughter’s birthday. I didn’t sleep well because my hip hurt last night after standing all weekend. I hope losing weight helps with that stuff.

RND 219
HW: 175
SW this round: 166.0
Goals This Round. Keep the momentum by drinking my water, moving every day (real workout at least 3xs), be mindful of choices but don't obsess.
4/2 166.2 My family eats out every Saturday for dinner and last night was Chinese food. That was an interesting challenge. I ate a careful lunch in preparation for a heavier dinner. I ate a small wonton soup and then a small-ish plate full of a sample of all of the dishes. I don't feel that I over ate, but I enjoyed the meal! Today we are staying home all day and I am making a family brunch (protein pancakes for the win), and having family over for dinner (making a BBQ chicken braid). So heavier meals than normal, but hopefully my planning will work out and I will stay within my goals. My portion control is getting better.
4/3 166.6 Apparently lack of exercise on the weekends is a problem. I stayed within my calories all weekend, but because of lots of family meals the food choices weren't the healthiest. But it wasn't a binge weekend with a big gain, so I will take it. On my way to the gym as soon as my daughter leaves for school to do some weight training.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/01 …..188.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
04/02 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) I am using the starting weight of the last round as a re-do of the round during this round. That’s the best I can do for my mental health right now as I’ve been pretty down in the dumps and I feel the bloat in my body I can’t do very much about right now. I am back to logging my food (something I CAN do), but my bp has been dropping off and on to bad levels again and I am back to tracking for the doctor and doing minimal exercise while we monitor it. I will still go to cardiac rehab, but mainly for class time with education, not necessarily much exercise because of my issues right now. I am going to continue to not weigh in until I am authorized to have a shot at this with some calorie burning too. I am still hoping to have achieved my mini-goal of 188.4 by Easter. I am not sure what day we are planning Easter dinner yet (children’s in-laws have plans too). I usually give up the actual Sunday for the working in-law families and change my dinner date. Whatever day that is (maybe the day before on Saturday?) is the day I will do my mini-goal weigh in (if all goes well on the health field). Anyhoo, I wish each and every one of us the best of luck in reaching our many different and varying goals this round. You all continue to fascinate me, inform me, teach me and amaze me!

@musicsax I totally agree. I've even found that jumping on the elliptical for 5 fast minutes knocks it out. I think blood flow could be a factor.3 -

Day, Weight, Calories, Comment
4/02 - 181.4
Yesterday was a good day—below calorie goal and no after-dinner snacking. We had rain and very high winds so I didn’t walk, but will make up for it today. I think my break from tracking last round did me good, even if I gained weight, as I’m feeling empowered to stick with the program now.
4/03 - 180.8
Another good day yesterday—below calorie goal, no after-dinner snacking, and a walk, though not as long as I’d have liked, but I really dislike cold wind! It’s a gorgeous morning, though, so I’m headed out with the pup for a walk now, and will hopefully take another on my own later.

SW RND 219
Lifestyle goals: Only whole plant foods and never any calorie-rich and processed (CRAP) foods. No animal products at all of I can help it. It started as a short term challenge in this group to reduce inflammation but has bloomed into a lifestyle. Strength train or yoga 10 minutes every morning.
This round's challenges:
💤10 days of bed by 10💤
Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen Checklist app 🥦🫚🍎🥔🏃🍵🍞🧄💤
👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s MY NEW LIFESTYLE!
4/2 125.6 💤 I've made it to bed before 10pm three nights in a row thanks to putting away the gadgets! Checked off all but one of the Daily Dozen Checklist yesterday.🍎🥔🥦🫚🥬 It's a lot of food to fit into just one day! I've made a plan for today to try to hit all 12. I can do it! The next step is getting all the servings for each food group. First attempt at veggie burgers was a hit with flavor but failed structurally. We'll follow a recipe next time. But, I made a roasted garlic, cashews, nutritional yeast, turmeric, salt and pepper "cheese" sauce/aioli that was out of this world! I had to remind myself how calorie dense it was to stop me from eating it like a soup. Golden goodness. It's in a jar now for Mac n cheese.
4/3 126.8 💤🥦 checked all servings and made it to bed by ten. Beans for breakfast is totally new to me but I'm trying to remind myself that it's normal in a lot of cultures. What's weird today can become habitual in a few weeks. Just gotta do it. I'm waiting for my gut to get used to this new way of eating. A lot of fermentation I'm still not used to. It's apparently normal and will subside if I keep at it. I'm measuring out each serving today so I don't overstuff myself. For breakfast I saw that a 1/2 cup of beans is a lot smaller than I was eyeballing! Oh, and I almost forgot this little victory.... I'm not panicking about the scale going up! From the FAQs on nutrionfacts.org: "The Daily Dozen averages about 1,200 calories, but given the wide array of food choices in each category, it can range anywhere from 800-1800." I've definitely been tipping the higher side, especially with my not measuring anything. Now that I know I'll be better at it. It's so much whole foods fiber though, so many of the calories end up in the toilet... I'll see a big drop when that happens. I made a pun 🙃

Hi, I'm Amanda in Appalachian Virginia. I fell off for a couple rounds. Life has been super stressful between kid sicknesses, kiddo's birthday celebrations, work pressures, travel, home remodel, etc. Nothing atypical, and actually super privileged, but it has just felt like a lot. I stopped working out for 2 weeks and my mental health absolutely felt it. I need to refocus on my health because my family depends entirely on my mental stability, which seems to rest squarely on whether or not I move my body each day.
My weight goal for the round is to get back into my maintenance range of 118-122!
My other goals are:
Work out 8/10 days
Fast for 16 hours plus 6/10 days
SW RND 219 123.8 (4/3)
4/2 - DNW
4/3 - 123.8 Will walk the dogs and do a core workout today. And try to recover my house from the insanity that was this past weekend! I started doing some spring cleaning projects yesterday. My issue with projects is that the core maintenance of the house just falls to the wayside. Same with gardening to be honest. I'm getting more interested in gardening but there's still stuff to do all day every day inside the house. I don't know how people manage! My house truly looks like a bomb exploded and sent things flying all over.

@SModa61 I didn't know what that was but I think I've got that too. Another reason to tell myself not to eat at night.
@pezhed I feel you, it's impossible for me to manage both maintenance and new projects. I've been working on decluttering solutions to make maintenance more manageable. The only thing that helped me was to just throw away stuff when it becomes apparent that it's causing more stress by being in the way than having it around relieves.4 -

4/3 360.6lb- i can't lose every day, that's not normal...especially since i'm already down nearly 27lb. My knees hurt a little today, probably all that walking yesterday. Today I am going to go for a swim with my wife (depending on if she's up to it or not) so then I'll be able to take it easy on my joints for a bit.

@shmmm3 I've known about the "not eating at night" due to proximity to sleep (and laying down). I've just never put it into action. Would be so neat if this coincidental act helps me to solve this long term issue. Would be wonderful if you are helped as well, along the way!

Hi, I'm Charissa - Round 219
Thank you, again, QuiltingJaine for hosting this challenge!
My goals for round 218 were to maintain as I knew I was coming up on vacation. I ended up gaining 2.6 but once I got home, going back to good habits didn't come naturally....:)
So here we go again. I do have high hopes for April as there is nothing on the calendar. Easter is one day and I don't usually over do it on Easter. My feet feel good (knock on wood) so I should get my exercise in without fail. I actually rejoined one of the Step Bet challenges! My focus for April is on nutrition. I started with the Mayo Clinic Diet and got off track so I'm restarting.

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

Stick to Plan:- Calorie cycle for a weekly average of 1200 to 1500
- Exercise: Row, Walk, Bike, Weights, Pushups, Dance, Jazzercise
- Water: Shoot for 80oz per day
- Binge-Free & Sugar-Free for 100 days
- Lots of veggies and protein, some fruit (very little processed foods or simple carbs which I hardly ever have)
- I need to figure out a way to get more fiber, especially from grains.

End of "my" Round 218 (3/29): 173.8
Round 219
4/02: 173.2 No Exercise. Water✔ Calories✔
4/03: 172.6 Exercise✔ Water✔ Calories✔ Hit 172.x - Yay! I don't care if it jumps around for days, I'm crossing that sucker off my first-goal list above! Calories were low yesterday. I don't seem to need as much to eat and for some crazy reason
I'm able to control myself and guage whether I'm really hungry and I'm staying full longer. 28 days no sugar/simple carbs? 28 days binge-free? More whole foods/fiber? Water? Stomach shrinking (is that really a thing??) Stress remaining from my husband's medical emergency? All the above? I'll take all of it except my husband's medical emergency - please never, never again!! 🙏
Bingeing is why I'm where I am now. I want to see the results with 100 days of no bingeing. I'm not talking about going over calories from overeating a little, I'm talking full-out bingeing. And that's not just on bad foods, even when I'm eating well, I'll binge. This will be extremely challenging but if I stick to it (and stay off sugar and simple carbs to stop cravings), there is no way I'm not going to see consistent weight loss during these 100 days (not to mention the health benefits)! Part of this challenge, too, is if I do have a slip, that I don't revert back to old habits of bingeing for days/weeks/months. I will acknowledge the slip, celebrate that it didn't derail me, and just keep on keeping on.
I want to see what happens when I don't give up!

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

4/2 215.2 You know what they say about best laid plans.....Well, last night's dinner was not poutine. They had no gravy! So I had 2 chicken tenders that I calculated as 4 as they were on steroids lol. And 9 onion rings deep fried. Today we decided to go to the Olympic type pool for laps. I did 60 laps in 66 minutes. Slow and steady lol.Dinner is leftovers from last night but only 1 tender as my tummy is still full. And the sodium thirst is fierce. It was nice to get in a pool again. Completed 2x rebounder sessions at 20 mins each
