GIVE ME 10 DAYS – ROUND 220
Round 220
April 12 – April 21, 2023
61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
Goal for Round 220. Strategically get through using up freezer and pantry items that can’t stay to next season. Take off at least 1 more lb. Getting so close to the 130.
Oh, and I can finally confess, I am going to be a grandmother for the second time. Daughter is giving us another grandson mid-august. DD had her mid pregnancy anatomy scan last week, and finally feels safe in sharing her news.
History:
Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a DGS, and second GS on the way. 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
4/12 – 132.0 Not concerned. I have a sneaking suspicion that eating 63 grams of fiber yesterday (21 is the daily recommended according to MFP) may be a contributing factor. I also did not walk. Yesterday was supposed to be a blow out rain day, and it was a 2 am, so I allowed myself to oversleep. Was there any rain during daylight hours? No. But the radar showed it could. Today is also supposed to be a blow out, but I can see outside that it is currently nice (it is ½ hour before sunrise). Rain in the Keys (and I think Florida in general) is different from my life experience of the northeast. ( a day later I notice I never wrote the day’s weight, so I added)
4/13 – 131.0 Not surprised given how much time I spent in the bathroom yesterday. :P Yesterday, I got in a nice walk. It was another day with predicted rough weather. It was so strange. I could hear thunder. Dark clouds were in every direction but over the harbor, where we are, was glowing bright. I wish I took a picture. Ft. Lauderdale made the news to its rain yesterday, and the day before Miami made the news due to rain flooding. We got some drips. Unfortunately, the plants really could use some.
4/14 – 131.4 Calories were good enough and I did my longer length walk, though I did get into a “chocolate salami” DD had bought us while in Quebec back in January. I am cleaning out cabinets here (2 weeks before leaving) and checking dates on everything. Well the salami “expired” at the end of March and had already travelled back and forth with us. I decided to splurge and open it. It was ok, like a very firm fudge. Probably would have liked (and eaten) it more had I taken my aligners out first. (Had 1.75 ounces – yes I weighed it) Decided I was going to throw out the rest, but I notice it is gone this morning. It wasn’t me sleepwalking, so hubby must have enjoyed it!

SW this round 163.8
Goals This round: I will not be weighing this round until the very last day. I want to take a little time to not be attached to the scale.
4/12 163.8 Did strength training and pickleball yesterday, ate within my goals, and got a decent night's sleep, so feeling pretty good! Going to take my son to the zoo today, so steps and sunshine instead of the gym.
4/13 DNW Feeling pretty great. I am starting to notice some physical changes and body shape changes. Played pickleball instead of the gym this morning. Trying to come up with a game plan for this weekend...3 day dance competition equals no exercise, high stress, little sleep, and no at-home meals.
4/14 I let my family pick dinners for this week and my daughter chose fettucine alfredo. Ugh! But I accepted the challenge. I made a roux with less butter, used chicken stock instead of cream, added fat free cream cheese and blended cottage cheese to up the flavor, and air fried shrimp to go along with it. Now that is what I called sustainable changes!

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 220 (my 151st). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine you are a star!
Starting this round at the same weight as last – again! Goal for this round; sorry to be repetitive but, I really need to continue to reverse this increasing trend, again I'm not looking at a specific number, any loss and keep my binge free streak going, not going to 100 days, starting small just going for 10, surely, I can make 10? Be mindful when I’m tempted! Keep within calories & macros. I can do this but, consistency is paramount, let’s do it 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. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

4/11 139.8 - Managed to walk, did get a bit wet in the rain but, dried out before I got home!! Stuck to my 3 chocolates out of my Easter box from DH. 40% of exercise calories eaten back. Feeling better in myself now back on the wagon & good to see numbers starting to come down again; back to round starting weight!
SW RND 220
4/12 139.8 - Managed just over 5 miles walking before a day out with my sisters & lunch (toasted sandwich, granary bread), declined a cake, NSV for me!! But, unfortunately, still meant I was 419 calories over; I had already had 2 of my chocolates before lunch so, didn’t have my 3rd after tea. MFP also shows that the sandwich was high in sodium.
100-day Binge-free Challenge starting April 11=1 day. ⭐️=2 day ****
4/13 140.8 – 5.4 miles walked, so much rain!! Well it seems I can’t manage 10 days ☹. Put it this way, my Easter box of chocolates is empty!
4/14 142!! – took little DGS (5 & 3) to Tramway Museum, we had a fun day, but I over ate and didn’t track after breakfast. I am hoping this is the shock I need to get a grip! Today we travel up to the Lake District towing our caravan, for 6 days, I’ve not packed the scales because in this new ‘van I can’t get them level in the shower tray so they always weigh inaccurately & lower. I never binge when I’m with DH so I am hoping that sticking to a healthy eating plan & plenty walking will get me back down to round start weight. We’ll see !!

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.

4/12 - 173.2 - woke up about 3am feeling like I’d been ran over by a bus. Headache, sinus pressure, cough, sore throat. “Called in” from work - which I’m remote today so no impact on the office. Going back to bed now.
4/13 - 172.8 - still sick but got all of my calories in yesterday. Feeling a little better today but sleep was crap. Hopefully I’m on the upswing. Not sure if I will make the gym tonight. Still really worn down.
4/14 - 171.8 - perks of being sick. I do feel somewhat better today. Going to at least get some walking in and possibly a jog.6 -
Hi all!
Happy Friday! I know I've been MIA for a long time but I'm so glad to still see familiar friends here! Life has been crazy since my brief reappearance in August/ September last year and more consistent postings prior to that. Not sure who remembers me mentioning it but we had some construction done that started last fall and wasn't finished until the end of January/early February. Said construction left us without a real kitchen space without having to go up and down a full flight of stairs and coordinate cooking times/kitchen space with my in-laws. So, suffice it to say there was a lot of take-out consumed and it was just survival mode while attempting to not gain 20 pounds from excess takeout. I'm excited to share that I now have a fully functional kitchen, a new bathroom that we don't have to hike up 2 flights of stairs to get to, and a spare room/office for me since I work from home.
I am so grateful everything is complete and we are blessed with the living space we have. Starting this week I have made it a point to follow a plan and stick to it. I started the Eat to Perform program this week and have been happy with it so far. One thing I did stick to relatively well while the chaos of construction was happening was working out. That was my stress relief which also helped a little bit with damage control from takeout. I crept up from 123ish on a good day to about 130(my highest weight in more than 10 years I think). So, now I have to put the work back into my nutrition to get to my goal of 115 while keeping most of my muscle mass I managed to build in the takeout calorie surplus. I've already dropped some water weight this week, which is always motivating to see on the scale.
I don't think I'll be able to check in each day but will definitely pop in on the weekends. Work continues to be amazing and I'm so grateful I made the switch and took on the leadership role, it's just a lot busier than my previous job which had more downtime/allowed me to post daily. I've missed the 10-day community over the last 6/7 months. I have been thinking about you all and wondering how you have been doing.

People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for over 5 years with amazing results!

4/12 150.2 (trend 149.9) Yesterday was a better day than recently in terms of tracking food, although I lost a bit of discipline in the evening and eyeballed a few snacks rather than weighing them. Didn't complete my step target as I woke up too late to do an early morning walk and then later started to feel really unwell with fatigue, headache, sore throat, so rested more than I had planned. Heavy rain nixed my chances of an evening walk. I'll try again today, but still feeling like I've got a bit of a bug. Did 1hr weight training yesterday for 4th day in a row, so I may take a rest day today and do cardio instead.
STEPS 4,618
4/13 149.4 (trend 149.9) Not the best day again. Food was tracked and careful up until the evening, then I got lazy and stopped weighing things. Something I really need to get in control of. No exercise either.
Still feeling unwell, I'm beginning to suspect covid. My mouth feels really weird and waxy/burnt, and I'm really drained. My mouth has felt like this for over a week, I noticed my tongue is swollen, white, and pressing against my teeth. I'll try and get hold of a covid test today.
STEPS 4,937
4/14 150.4 (trend 149.9) Still maintaining this weight, it's been over 4 rounds stuck here, sigh! Went for a 5 mile walk yesterday morning. It was really lovely being out in the sun, walking through fields of sheep and lambs, seeing all the crops starting to grow and the trees in blossom. Did 1.5hrs weight training, upper body. I'm definitely looking more muscly, but still quite large, this body fat is so stubborn! Still having difficulty tracking my food in the evening, I get to about 200 cals left for the day and then stop counting and start snacking, so probably go over by 200 or so. Well, at least I'm getting practice for maintaining my weight, although at this point I'm losing hope of being able to lose any more. It's a wet morning here, not very enticing to go out and get steps in, but I really should...gah.
STEPS 12,187
4/15 149.6 (trend 149.9) Very similar day yet again. Started off well with a morning walk, tracked food and ate mindfully and healthily, did lower body workout. In the evening OH bought beers and made pizza, all downhill from there! I'll try again today 😉

Good Morning!
My whyI 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. I also have a cruise booked for my birthday & one of the tours offers a mini photoshoot. What a great opportunity to be at my goal & get semi professional pictures on the beach!
End of round 218 231lbs
End of round 219 229lbs
Previous days4/12 Goal 225.9/Actual 227.8. Still fasting. Still feeling good. I am on day 3. I have allowed some broth so not a true water fast yet but I wasn’t keto last week so this is easing me in. I decided that for every day I add the “helpers” I will extend my fast for a day. I am being very diligent with electrolytes & I am keeping busy. Yesterday I got over 10,000 steps & I expect the same today. I have hot Yin Yoga this morning after I walk the dog & then a couple of hours of work. There are some symptoms of fasting that I am not getting yet (💩) & hopefully that does not happen while I am working today 🤦♀️. I also usually get extreme heartburn & leg cramps but I think everything is just aligning & I am mentally ready to do this.
4/13 Goal 225.6/Actual 226.4.
Today will be the first day of my fast without helpers (like broth) to help me get through this fast. Sometimes I question my why. Things I know besides weight loss (which is #1) that fasting will help me to reduce inflammation & it will help with skin tightening through autophagy. Weight loss is the main reason & that’s why I don’t mind the helpers (usually less than 200 calories per day) but that stops autophagy so I gotta get to it. Hot yoga & walking the dog & some garden clean up are on tap today.
4/14 Goal 225.2 /Actual 224.8
Yesterday was a good day. I did everything I planned, I even cooked some soup for when I am ready to break my fast. Sleep was crappy (literally) last night but that was bound to happen eventually. Today is day 5 of my fast. I am at my goal so I could end it, but I made it through the hardest days so I will continue, maybe until Wednesday. I know there will be some bounce back when I start to eat again & I feel good, today I will walk the dog, work & hopefully have a little gardening time in the afternoon.
4/15 Goal 224.9/Actual 222.8
Still fasting. Today is day 6. I felt good yesterday but I did argue with myself from
3:00-7:00 about ending the fast. I spent most of that time looking at food and recipes that I can cook. Everyone in my house is being respectful, not eating around me, and not hassling me about anything. I slept really good last night so today should be easier. My plan for today is a dog walk, hair appointment, some cleaning & gardening.

My name is Paula and I am a 46 year old 100% service disabled veteran from the Army.
This is my first round. I am a newbie! I am signing up for a variety of challenges to help change my mindset about healthy habits and getting my weight under control. I want a better quality of life where I don’t have to ask my husband to constantly slow down when we are walking because he is going too fast.
I also use Noom, GOLO, and intermittent fasting (IF) using a 16:8 (fasting hours:eating hours) schedule to help affect the change with my weight. I have also DRASTICALLY overhauled my eating habits and what I eat to a more clean way of eating.
Starting weight - 248.0 lbs
Challenge goal weight - 243.0 lbs
4/12 - 248.0 lbs 🆗🚩
4/13 - 248.2 lbs 😕
4/14 - 243.8 lbs 😅🙃 Started going to the gym again, but this time with my 16 year old son as my workout buddy.
4/15 - 241.2 lbs 😌 Thinking of starting my modified fasting schedule since I want to try getting down to two meals a day. I am thinking of assessing how a 18:6 or 20:4 schedule will suit me. I will probably start with shifting to 18:6 (18 hrs fasting & 6 hours eating) for about a month to see how it goes. We are going back to the gym today for more cardio. Monday we start a strength training routine developed by my husband.

4/12 - 125.6. Excited to get back to it today! The weather is gorgeous this week so working out outside shouldn't be a problem. Yesterday my husband and I went on a midday road bike ride together, which was awesome! Today will probably just be a dog walk since those pooches and I really need it. I'm also adding back some strength training, and today will be core and upper body. I've been super hungry lately, but I am going to squash my snacking this week.
4/13 - 124.6 I think? Definitely 124.something but I can't remember. Surprised to see any decrease from yesterday at all. Yesterday I was just trying to comfort my body because I could feel I was coming down with something. Definitely was. Super congested today and tired from a bad night of sleep. I still want to do something active outside today to try to shake it off.
On an unrelated note, we're getting all the documentation lined up to sell our rental house now! We were supposed to list it next week, but once we got the contract in place with our realtor, he sent the info and the previous listing out to his colleagues, and we got a super aggressive offer (11k over asking, no inspection contingencies) from someone sight unseen. So we are now scheduled to close on May 4th! It might have been wise to hold on to it, but we absolutely hated being landlords. The tenants move out on Saturday, appraisal and termite inspection are scheduled for Monday, and then we should be good to go. It's very exciting, but it still seems too good to be true.
4/14 - 123.6! Must have been holding on to some water, whew. Hit my round goal already but we're headed into the weekend. I always go off the rails, but I'll do better this weekend. My cold is making it so I really only crave more nutritious foods and don't want any alcohol, so that's a silver lining to being a little sick I guess. I took the kids to Dairy Queen for dinner and got a salad of all things. I of course rewarded myself with a mini Blizzard My husband and I went on a lunchtime mountain bike ride yesterday. It was lovely. Today it's rainy, so I'll probably do a Peloton run and some strength training. Happy Friday, all!!
4/15 - 120.0. I really must have been holding on to a lot of water and other TMI things. TOM is around the corner so maybe that’s a factor too. I hope to get some exercise in today but sometimes wrangling my 2 year is enough of a workout! Happy weekend everyone!
