JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 222

quiltingjaine · April 2023

Round 222
May 2 - May 1, 2023

Please join us starting on 5/2 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 222!

Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. You have only one hour to edit your post. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

If you feel your post is too lengthy, you can add spoilers to temporarily hide the information. It is readily available by tapping the SPOILER bar. To create a Spoiler just type or copy [ Spoiler ] xxx [ /Spoiler ] Omit the spaces within the brackets and put your information where I have xxx

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

I missed one round cause holidays back to back, but still tracked. But yay, I'm back. Not too social for which I apologize. I just love using them for some accountability to myself.

RND 222:

5/02: 226
> Missed 221 cause I missed a couple of dates and didn't feel ok to start from the middle, but kept tracking daily. Food was ok, didn't miss a workout. Water is way up, barely any soda, just need to figure out my sleep as well somehow. But the goal this week will be to just keep maintaining those habits.

I'm going to join in. Personally I've had a bad two years and put on 70lbs, I am only 5ft 2".
I don't have a specific goal of pounds to lose this round, just want to get my 10K steps in per day and stick to my calories. Lets see how it goes....

02/05: 215.4lbs

clprieur · May 2023

My 12th Round
Age 53, 5’4”
June 2005: 345 lbs (Highest known weight before WLS Aug 2005)
June 2017: 241.8 lbs
January 2023: 157.6 lbs
Weight Beginning this Round: 147.8 lbs
Goal Weight: 140 lbs

This round's daily goals:
1. 1400 calories + <½ of exercise calories 10/10 days –
2. 8 cups fluids 10/10 days –
3. Strength training 4/10 days –
4. Walk:Run 4/10 days –
5. 5 mins Affirmations 10/10 days -

5/2 – 147.8 lbs – It is a new round. That is the beauty of a 10-day challenge – you get to start again. I am NOT going to dwell on the last round – that will not help me to move forward. All I can do is try to stay positive and start fresh and try to make some adjustments so that I can get closer to my goals. I have adjusted my goal weight to 140 lbs, for the moment. I may move it down again, at some point, but for this round it seems like a good place to set my sights. I have been feeling overwhelmed and depressed, for some reason, for the last couple of weeks. I have felt like there hasn’t been enough time to participate in this challenge, as well as I would like. I know a few folks offered me some kind words in the last round, which I failed to recognize – thanks to all those who offered me encouragement!! It is greatly appreciated. (And yes, “Jenny food” equals frozen Jenny Craig meals.) 😊 I forget if I mentioned in the last round that my gym is bumping up the monthly fee. I am waiting for them to tell me the exact price, but I am pretty sure I am going to cancel my membership. I had purchased bands from Amazon a few months ago; I finally got hubby to get them out of the box for me. My intention is to set myself some sort of exercise plan that I can do here at home, which I will need to establish today if I intend to complete a session tomorrow, as it states on my weekly exercise plan. Today is a walk:run day, so I need to focus on making that a priority for the day. In terms of improvements for this round, I think I can identify that lack of sleep and lack of fluids may have impacted my energy last round, which in turn impacted my ability to maintain my exercise routine, which in turn impacted my mood, which in turn impacted my ability to attend work, which made me feel guilty and ashamed, which impacted my sleep… you see where this is going. Lol. Okay, we are off to a new 10 days. To all those who have been struggling of late, let’s lift one another up, and help each other to be a bit better this round than we were last round. That is all we can do.

5/2 147.2 (trend 148.2) Yesterday I had a bit of a day off and just enjoyed myself. I met up with my mum, brother and his family, and we went to a village May Day fair as it was my nephew's 3rd birthday. I didn't have much control over what food and drinks I had as my brother brought a picnic for us all, so I had a big cheese sandwich, crisps, birthday cake, and coffee with sugar. Walking was at toddler-pace so didn't count as exercise! I did play football with my older nephew for a bit, which helped get my heart rate up at least. I'm fully responsible for getting home and eating a mini muffin and some Bournville though! Fresh start today, OH is away until next Thursday, so I have no excuses for overeating, being lazy, or skipping workouts.
I am determined to leave the 150s behind this round and never see them again!

Good Morning!

My why

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. 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!
I did an extended fast on April 9th that lasted almost 9 days. That got me back on track after Easter.

5/2 Goal 219.3/Actual 219.8
Moving forward from the last round. I wasn’t able to fast yesterday because my stomach hurt. I wasn’t feeling well so my activity was low. I did work a full day. Today I will concentrate on drinking enough water & I will attempt to continue my fast. I am still behind but not too behind so fasting doesn’t feel urgent. I guess I will see how I feel after my coffee & go from there.

Day, Weight, Comment
5/02 - 157.0 - No worries -- DOMS and/or sodium. I know dinner had quite a bit of salt included in it so I'm not too surprised if it's that. Wouldn't also surprise me if my muscles were holding on to a little extra from yesterday after a week off from workouts. Just because I don't feel sore, doesn't mean I'm not retaining anything in that regards. I am exceptionally sleepy this morning. The dogs and I had a rough night (they had a rough night and being a light sleeper, I was dragged into it involuntarily). I think I'll focus on yoga today as my "strength workout" since I am so sleepy. Maybe a little wake up one this morning and a little bedtime routine to help relax me before I curl up to read tonight? I'll aim for both, but will certainly knock out this morning's. Hopefully, too, a nice after dinner walk to help add movement for both the dogs and I.

tishawj · May 2023

Here we go again!! I've had 6 straight days under 170...but just barely...hoping to keep it that way and make the gap bigger. I think I'd like to start incorporating some strength training back into my activity routing. 6plus years ago I was majorly into kettle bell workouts, started having some issues with my elbow and shoulder and just stopped. I've got a whole set of them that my boys now use. This week I'm planning on carving myself out a space down there to give them a go again...starting slowly to make sure I get my form back.
Off we go friends! Make it a good one!

Round 222
May 2 – May 11, 2023

61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).

Goal for Round 222 – I want to start the process of transitioning to maintaining. While I would like to get to 126 (roughly weight at daughter’s wedding), I also don’t want just an “on” “off” switch. I’d like to finally start filling in the supplement section that I have claimed I was doing since February. And, I’d like to start expanding what I do for exercise. For a weight, I would like to end the round no higher than the nice surprise of 128.2 with which I started the round.

During this round, I have DEXA scan, BMR, and risk assessment on May 6th. Entering a chipped 5K on May 7th (not sure if walking or running, but I need do it to adjust my comfort zone). Mammogram on May 8th. Annual physical also on May 8th. Likely, all my annual blood work and such on May 9th. Then Dentist on May 11. A regular apmt except for it will be the first time seeing the dentist since starting Invisalign, which then includes me brushing, flossing, water picking, rinsing, etc, many many times a day. Going to be an informative round.

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!

SW: 128.2

Day/Weight/Comment

5/02 – 129.2 Had a visit with my friends Ben and Jerry, that I have not seen in 2023. Oh, well. The irony is that I was thinking how I would not buy this flavor again, as I finished the ice cream pint. I even thought how I could throw the rest away, but I ate it anyhow. The good thing is that I tracked it, and I stepped on the scale today despite knowing what was coming. The questions that come from this are 1) why did I allow myself to purchase it? It was on sale and was thinking I would find a day to make the ice cream work (just not yesterday) 2) why did I allow myself this stress response? Less than 24 hours from getting home we found out the master bathroom shower is somehow leaking through the walls into the basement and we are now facing getting a plumber and potentially wall repairs to our newly refinished bathroom after he gets done. Still, that is not an excuse and something to improve.

On a positive note, I did my first Massachusetts walk yesterday. Not super long, only 3.4 miles, but I had a great walking pace, especially since I have not seen a hill in ages (florida elevation gain during my walk is 7 ft, but yesterday was 208 ft). It also got my BPM up to a nice rate. Average was 132 BPM, with a high of 150+.

I swear that sharing with this group is like therapy!!
