Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 219
Replies

Anyone a fan of Heavy Weights (1995) I need to rewatch it now. I'm fasting today because this is what my weekend looked like.

I’ve never heard of it but love that clip. My TV died - no picture, no sound. I can access the DVR through my iPad so I will survive. DH wants to get rid of DirecTV and I think I can get everything I want thru Roku. Enough about how I waste my days!2 -
Started at R219
Highest Weight- 387lb (Feb 26th 2023)
Goal Weight- 175-200lb (haven't decided yet- it's so far away)
4/2 360.6lb- walked home from church today- managed the whole 2 mile walk!!
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.
4/4 358.4lb- I am happy!! This is the first time I've been under 360lb since about September of 2022 I believe. Nearly at a 30lb weight loss in total...and maybe I will reach the 350 mark by the time I go to Utah in 23 days! I need this vacation so bad, I can't even tell you! The only thing I seem to be able to control right now is my food intake... I was feeling really emotional last night- going through some stuff... and I nearly went to the store to buy binge foods...but I didn't! I just went for a walk, listened to music, and prayed... I'm grateful for another abstinent day and another day free of binging!
4/5 358lb another steady loss... I'm eating well, moving more, and just trying my best. Haven't done much movement today, had a super rough night last night so I'm exhausted...I might go for a walk later though
4/6 357.4lb I am feeling soooooo hungry today...it's been such an emotional few days, going through some stuff..and I really want to just eat beyond what I should be eating. It's not because I'm hungry, I acknowledge that it is emotional. I will just have a nice drink (sugar free pop lol) and work on some gratitude!
4/7 356- holy moly! I don't know what's going on but I'm so happy! I did stick within my food plan yesterday, and I'm so grateful! Even with a mishap of making supper and the meat being off (ugh) so i made a childhood favourite- corned beef hash (just mashed potato with tinned corned beef) the CALORIES in that stuff! 760 cal for a small tin, oh my gosh! So I measured 2 portions (because 55g was not enough haha) and it was PERFECT! I might make another one for lunch or something! Very much enjoyed it.
4/8 358.4lb- and there goes my daily losing streak, haha. That's ok- I ate late last night and the water weight happens. I ate well today, felt grateful that I'm still like 6lb down for the week which is amazing!
4/9 357.8lb
4/10 358.4lb- I really don't know what's going on...but I am eating well, moving more (maybe i'm holding on to more water doing weight stuff, so it'll settle soon.) Hoping to finish the 10 days off strong with a nice loss tomorrow! If it doesn't work out that way- that's ok!
4/11 357.8lb- Ok so a bit of yo-yoing the last few days but that is ok! I am still down neatly 3lb in the last 10 days...which is pretty decent... doesn't get me to where I want to be quickly, but that's not the point... onward and downwards! haha

End of "my" Round 218 (3/29): 173.8
Round 219
4/02: 173.2 Exercise ❎ Water ✔ Calories ✔
4/03: 172.6 Row/Bike✔ Water✔ Calories✔ Hit 172.x - Yay! I don't care if it jumps around for days, I'm crossing that 172's 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!! 🙏
4/04: 172.0 Exercise❎ Water✔ Calories✔ I almost didn't weigh because I didn't want to see the bouncing around while my weight settled into the 172's but I'm glad I did - still sticking the 172's.
4/05: 171.8 Row✔ Water✔ Calories✔ Ok, all my effort finally seems to be paying off. No bingeing or sugar for 30 days.
4/06: 171.0 Woohoo! Come on 160's!! Exercise✔ Water✔ Calories✔ I didn't have much in the house to eat yesterday so I mixed pinto beans with brocolli and grated .25oz parmesean on it. It was so good. I need a lot of protein and complex carbs to keep my sugar steady (hypoglycemia), but I'm trying to cut back on meat. I'm adding another tracking goal below. I eat way too much salt even though I know how bad it is for you. I was reading my new book, How Not to Die (thank you again @shmmm3), and it reinforced how much I need to stop this habit. I rarely eat processed or canned foods so most comes from me adding it. I'm going to start with adding a 1/4 teaspoon to a baggie to use for the day, for 10 days, and then reduce down to 1/8 tsp for 10 days. I've tried this before - lets see if it works this time.
Edit: I just realized that even though I said I rarely eat processed foods, or canned vegetables, the parmesean I had yesterday has salt. So I guess I need to add another 10 days of NO added salt and have that be my goal since I think I'm getting enough without adding any. My husband never adds salt, nor did my Mom, so hopefully one day I can enjoy the actual taste of food and not the salt.
4/07: 171.8
Row/Bike✔ Water✔ Calories✔ I can't be okay with my weight dropping for 4 days straight and not okay with a small jump up as long as I'm sticking to my plan. I know it's the normal progression of weight loss - at least I know now after being on this forum for a while! I cooked a ham yesterday - ugh! Way too much salt. Good thing I'm trying to stop adding salt to my food.
4/08: 171.6 Row/Bike✔ Water✔ Calories✔ I'm trying to get more fiber, and nutrients. Yesterday I had broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, oatmeal, apple, blueberries, pinto beans, wheat bread (I know, a lot of carbs). I want to eat more greens and bought some spinach but was reading the discussion about oxalates and hadn't looked at high oxalate foods in a long time. This was a good reminder. I've been to the emergency room 5 times with kidney stones that I passed. I had one large one blasted. And I still have a large one that I hope never comes out. I should have it blasted. I just wish they used a sedative and didn't use general anesthesia. The composition of my stones is calcium oxalate. The only comparison I have to the pain of kidney stones is labor pains, but at the end of labor pains, I got a beautiful baby boy. At the end of kidney stone pain all I got was something that looked like a rock
4/09: 171.6 Row/Bike✔ Water✔ Calories:❎Maintenance. I was hungry yesterday so ate just below maintenance (1681). However, I also rowed for 40 mins and road the bike for 20. I am solidly in the 171's now - Yay! I am so looking forward to this week. The weather is going to be beautiful! Enjoy your day, everyone!
4/10: DNW Row✔ Water✔ Calories✔ I did not weigh because I felt so bloated this morning. I said the other day that I wanted to eat less meat, and what do I do, buy one of the most unhealthiest meats for you - cured ham! In addition to the salty ham, I had too many carbs: grits, oatmeal, bread. I did drink 72oz of water yesterday, and I stayed on the upper end of my calorie range for calorie cycling. My average calories for the past 8 days is 1281. I rowed 7 out of the last 8 days. So not all bad. My ankles were aching last night so I read again what foods are bad for gout (too much purine that breaks down to uric acid in your blood). I'm not sure if my ankles are gout but after surgery this past June, I ended up in the ER with the worst ankle/foot pain and could not walk. I had to sleep on the couch for a week because I could not make it up stairs. Since I just had surgery, I wanted to make sure I didn't have a blood clot. They said it was gout. I think to diagnose, they need to take fluid from the inflamed joint to look for crystals, but because of my kidney stones (which can also be caused by too much uric acid), they're probably right. And I'm not sure what else it could have been. I said the other day that two of the worse pains I've ever had were kidney stones and labor, however, gout is right up there too. So, reading last night about gout again, two foods I've been eating are high in purine - ham and oats. Oats are not real bad but they say don't eat more than couple times a week if you're susceptible to kidney stones or gout. Today, I'm eating low carb and continuing to drink a lot of water. Oh, and no more ham!
4/11: 171.2 Row/Bike✔ Water✔ Calories✔ I'm down 2.6 from the last round, which ended on 3/29 for me. I fought hard to lose those 2.6 pounds! I feel so motivated at the moment. It looks like many of you had a good round! Looking forward to the new round - see you there!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.100-day Binge-free Challenge starting March 6…

oops, forgot I was doing this challenge I got as far as putting 1/4 tsp salt in a baggie 2 days ago.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

I logged it so it fit in fine to my calories, but I’m not a big salt person anymore so it was way more salt than I’ve had in a long time. I’ve drunk a ton of water but can still taste salt. Unfortunately I don’t have any more calories left to try and wash it away with chocolate!
They provide such unhealthy snacks at the blood bank! I take my own - a little cheese and meat in a small insulated pouch.

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 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.

4/2 221.7 - Yesterday met my weekend goal of 64 ounces of water. MCD Plan starts today and Step Bet starts Monday. ✔️
4/3 221 - Headed in the right direction for a change. Yesterday fell short on my water but was on plan for eating. Step Bet challenge starts today and I'm already at 4,724🙂 ✔️
4/4 220.7 - 64 oz of water yesterday. Below goal but better than Sunday! Steps - good - added chart above. ✔️✔️
4/5 219.5 - 96+ oz of water yesterday. Followed my plan perfectly! Needed a catheter, but that's another story!! MCD Plan Good, Steps Good, Water Good. I think I'll save the weights for the long weekend. ✔️✔️✔️
4/6 219.2 - I couldn't do another 96 oz of water and be human! I came in at 64. I'm coasting today as I have a dr appointment and a full bladder would NOT be wise. I'll see what I can do after the appointment. Not good on the plan. Had a late evening and while I had fish, I think I had too much. Steps Good! ✔️ I need a good day today....but apparently yesterday was National Deep Dish Pizza day and my husband wants Pizza. It will be another off plan day BUT, I think I can do a "calorie" view today and still have a decent day. Here's hoping. Then back on track for Friday and Saturday...then there's Easter Sunday.
4/7 219.2 - Water was around 64. I had fruit yesterday and saved my calories for Pizza. So while not on "plan" still within calories. I will treat today (since I'm off) as as a weekend with 64 ounces being the goal.
4/8 220.2 -
4/9 220.5 - tomorrow will not be good.... I tried a new pasta recipe for Easter. I know what carbs do to me so I just wasn't thinking. It was good but I will pay the price on the scale tomorrow.
4/10 221.1 - Saw that coming! Back on track today - refocus. I didn't expect Easter to be so detrimental but we didn't do anything except eat and drink and watch Netflix and Hulu
4/11 220.9 - Well, at least lower than the start....barely.... I like @39flavours "drawing a line". I think I will too. A long time ago I use to bowl in several leagues....before they had auto score keeping, we use to draw a line - "mark me off" we'd say when we were having a bad game. So "mark me off". I've had two poor rounds. When I look back 218's issue was a 4 day vacation and then finding it hard to get back on plan once I returned. 219's issue was the holiday and extra carbs that I don't normally consume. I'm going to do a bit of brainstorming for the rest of the day to find something that works..... These rounds with our comments really do help as you can go back and see what was working and when things stop working. Here's to round 220.7 -

04/11 -192.8- (Trend weight 191.8) Obviously very disappointed but I’m home today, no travel and back on plan. I picked up my taxes yesterday, had a wonderful dinner out on Lake Huron (which looks like the ocean). It snowed like Haites on Saturday, but by Monday it was 70 degrees and very spring-like. I wore my first capris of the season! My son chose Pizza Hut for dinner. We hadn’t had that in a few years as we don’t have it available in most of the cities we go to. All the leftovers went to him for today’s lunch. I’ll be watching my P’s and Q’s as I have a new challenge/goal for myself (listed above) and now I’m already behind on it! Nice round folks. See you tomorrow in the next round.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

4/3: 133.6 - Well, I thought I was under calories the last couple of days, but clearly not.
4/4: 132.7 - Need to keep trending in this direction. Ate well, worked out hard, and slept well
4/5: 131.6 - Tracking and not eating back exercise calories is helping. Slept well again.
4/6: 131.8 - My routines are settling back in again - both eating and exercising.
4/7: 131.2 - Same ‘ol, same ‘ol. Good workout and did not eat back exercise calories. However, did not sleep well.
4/8: 131.8 - Got my workout in late, but ate a few more sweets than normal.
4/9: 131.2 - Jazzercise, but no walk today (other than the grocery store). Spent about 15 minutes hand-kneading my hot cross buns dough. Does that count?
4/10: 131.0 - A mostly carb and fat day yesterday, but did get my Jazzercise in and a 6.8 mile hike.
4/11: 130.7 - A little surprised by this since I ate every single one of my exercise calories back.
Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: - 1.8 pounds4 -
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.
4/4 165.4 Hopefully moving in the right direction again! I spent 2 hours at the gym yesterday. Started with some weight training and rowing, and then I moved to the bike and treadmill. I wouldn't have stayed so long, but I started watching the show "Shrinking" and fell in love with it. Two episodes and a lot of burned calories later 🤣 I'm always hungrier and snackier after working out, so I made that protein shake/pudding mix concoction and thoroughly enjoyed it! I slept in this morning and will be headed to the gym again soon. I need to focus on building more muscle, I think.
4/5 166.0 Got in a great gym workout yesterday. Also, tried the Supreme Cauliflower Crust pizza from Costco...it was delicious! 310 calories for 1/4 pizza and now I have my lunches for the rest of the week 😊. Also played a ton of pickleball last night. It's my favorite thing!
4/6 165.8 Wasn't sure if I would make it to the gym yesterday, but I woke up feeling pretty rested and went right after my daughter left for school. Then I took my son to the science museum and got a lot of steps in (and lots of stairs...it was busy and the elevators were full.) I discovered that Dave's Killer Bread topped with avocado, cottage cheese, and hot sauce is a delicious breakfast. If I have time next time I will top with an egg. Loving finding delicious food that doesn't feel like "diet food." This morning we played pickleball before the rain came. I have a girl scout meeting tonight and there will be candy and lots of snacks. Trying to make a plan to not go overboard.
4/7 165.0 Feeling ecstatic about this number! 10 lbs down!!!!
4/8 164.4 Had a fantastic workout yesterday. Starting to look forward to gym time as a way to de-stress and focus on myself. Easter weekend will present some food challenges. We have a church potluck this morning, Saturday dinner out tonight, and a family potluck tomorrow, with plenty of Easter candy available of course. I probably won't be able to log most of that correctly, so I am going to focus on small portions and balance, and enjoying myself without undoing any work!
4/9 164.0 Church potluck breakfast, kids birthday party lunch, dinner and games with friends. Many more calories than normal, but I never went totally crazy. And we played 3 hours of pickleball so that was tons of fun and great exercise in gorgeous weather. The only thing I would change about today is I wouldn't eat the new protein bar I brought to the birthday party. Turns out I do NOT like No Cow bars. Complete chalk, and I ended up eating a small piece of pizza anyway, so should have just done that in the first place. Other than that it was an enjoyable "sometimes this is okay" day. I will NOT be feeling guilty and spiraling. Lol. Hopefully.
4/10 164.0 I enjoyed my Easter food! Had a very reasonable breakfast and lunch, ate one serving of my favorite candy, and a super reasonable portion of dinner...and two cupcakes for dessert 🤣 Honestly, still way better than I normally would do.
4/11 164.0 Yesterday I got back to it and had a good workout and ate within all my goals. Breakfast and lunch were pretty scarce because I was so busy all day, but I made up for it with a delicious dinner. I made the best BLT with homemade guacamole, and deviled eggs. Oh my gosh delicious. Looking forward to another round, but will be changing it up and not weighing except for start and finish.
Loss this round: 2 lbs

I am about 11 kg along the way to lose 32 kg. I use multiple tape measurements (cm) around my body because they aren't affected by salt intake. Apparently I've been trying to lose weight since September 2012, the last time I was at goal weight. Let's see if stopping eating sugary food is going to change things.

This round went alright, it's on the slow side, I'm going to see if I can speed up my weight loss because 4 months ago I moved to a hot country and I'm still suffering with the effect of the heat, hopefully less food means less heat effects, plus I'm carrying around 22 kg of insulation on my body.2 -

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.
