JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - Round 225!

pezhed · June 2023

Hi, I'm Amanda in Virginia. I'm back from vacation and motivated to make June a good month!

Round 225
RSW: 128.8!!!
RGW: 125 (looks ambitious but I'm hoping that at least a little of the weight is water from eating out a ton over the past week)
Non-scale RG:
⏰Intermittent fast at least 16 hours 7/10 days
💪🏻Intentional workouts 8/10 days
🚫Alcohol-free 5/10 days
(Tracking non-scale goals for the previous day)

6/1 - ⏰💪🏻🚫 124.4! Man, that was a lot of water. 4.4 pounds?! I peed hourly yesterday and a couple times during the night. Amazing what excessive sodium and carbs can make us hold on to! I found out yesterday that my job has a program that gives us free premium membership to some fitness apps, including MyFitnessPal! So after wasting a year not knowing that, I upgraded yesterday. The main feature I wanted was the intermittent fasting timer. I finished a big project at work yesterday and I’m going to reward myself with a good workout today, but I haven’t decided what. Maybe some strength training and a jog with the dogs.

6/2 - ⏰💪🏻🚫 123.2. There goes more water! I guess I didn’t do permanent damage on vacation after all. That’s encouraging! While I’m motivated I’d like to go ahead and get within my maintenance range for the first time in months, please. Heading into the weekend which I always mess up, but I refuse to go too out of control this weekend. DH also got motivated to lose again which helps immensely. Plus we got an induction stove, which we both love cooking on, so we are eating out less overall. In more exciting news, I have the afternoon off today while the kids are in daycare! Summer Fridays! I’m going to go mountain biking for the first time in a while and try to get through some housework and gardening. Happy Friday!

Day/Weight/Comment
05/31 …..194.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

06/01 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) The movie was great (The Little Mermaid). The new theater was wonderful. It was a 75 mile drive to the theater each way. Lots of sitting and lots of food. Three full meals and a snack. None of the food was within plan. My pants are tight and I don’t want to know until tomorrow.

06/02 -195.6- (Trend weight 195.0) Ugh. Hate it but it is well deserved from my movie day out-of-town. No TMI x 2 days doesn’t help either. Gonna stay the course today. I already have a roast in the crockpot for dinner tonight and prep cooking for future. I’ll pre-log my day today and try to get some movement in. It’s supposed to be 91 degrees today and I don’t have air conditioning. Exercise will be rough but I’ll think of something.

Hi, I'm Charissa - Round 225

Thank you, again, QuiltingJaine for hosting this challenge!

Starting Round Comments

Round 224 was ok. It was a challenging month with my husband having surgery but he's on the mend and it's time to refocus. I went up a bit but nothing to get overly excited about.

I am a self-proclaimed procrastinator. I set goals to be under 200 by 6/17 - then in my mind I changed it to the time I went on my July trip (7/5). I'm not there and it's highly unlikely that I will make it BUT>>>> I can get really close if I focus during the month of June! So here's goes!!!

Doing the math - June fit's nicely with 3 10 days challenges
15 (weight to lose to hit 199)/30 days = .5 per day * 10 = 5.00 per challenge
Challenge Goal - 5.00lbs or Weight of 209.
Aggressive - yes and I will be happy and consider it a win if I lose at least half.
Goal: 209 - will be happy with 211.5, ecstatic with anything between 209 and 211🙂

Projection/Actual
6/1 214 /214.2 (+0.2/+0.2) ~ Wrong direction but should be able to easily correct <fingers crossed>. 45 minutes on the treadmill and then will walk at least 30 at lunch. Exercise makes me feel like my body is burning more calories/fat.

6/2 213.5 /214.7 (+0.5/+0.7) ~ Did not walk at lunch yesterday as planned. Dinner was decent. Husband was excited as he had been off pain meds long enough to have a cocktails. He made pomegranate sours. Turn this ship around! It would be about now, that I'd throw up my hands with the All or None mentality, but I'm not going to do that this time. I am going to continue to forge ahead - progress WILL come.

@RenaPink11 Don’t be surprised if the bad eating doesn’t show up for a couple of days. It took logging daily for me to realize what happens when.

@shmmm3 When I switched to low carb I would have 1 glass of wine followed by 2 glasses of water before I would get another glass of wine.

RND 225
Welcome to another round everyone! Love the accountability of this community.
I participated in the last round and while I didn’t see a lot of movement on the scale, my emotional/mental health has been way better the last 10 days. I’ve been finding that my Depression is very sensitive to blood sugar levels - part of the reason why I eat *way* too much chocolate. I’m on the path to finding healthier ways to keep myself joyful and well!

5’9 Female, LT Goal of 150lbs. ST Goal of 190lbs.
Water goal of 110 oz per day.

SW RND 224 - 195
SW RND 225 - 194

6/1 - 194 Same as yesterday, really need to start eating healthier; hectic week so I might have to wait until the weekend to meal prep though. Did an hour of TKD but no other exercise. Was 10oz shy of water goal.
6/2 - 195 *sigh* wrong way lol. Watching my calorie intake today and trying to find better options for good fuel - unfortunately I need to go to the grocery store but my paycheck isn’t in yet. Planning to go on a long walk after work, but also walking a lot at work. Determined to hit 10k steps today!

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 6 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

SW Round 225 130.0
6/1 130.0 Still not feeling great. DH thinks it’s allergies. I fell asleep watching television last night at 8:15! Got up, showered and went to bed. Asleep by 9 but woke at 3:30 with headache and need for potty so I gave up and got up. Now I feel I need a nap. Maybe I should just give in.
⭐️ I am not a napper, I never have been unless I’m sick. I finally gave in and put my head down at 3:45 while DH was at cards. I slept until 7:30! I thought it was morning when I got up so I made a pot of coffee. Boy, am I messed up! I hope I can sleep tonight! Well, in a couple of hours.
6/2 129.0 Went to bed at 11:30 and woke at 6:35. Still not feeling great but I want BBQ so we’re going there for lunch

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Xiao_Ya_ · June 2023

I had a long trip in May, so I wasn't able to keep track of weight or calories during that time, but that should be more of a possibility now. Fortunately, I only gained a pound or so. I don't really think that eating habits will help with all the mental health conditions I've been overwhelmed with, but it definitely helps me with a sort of sense of control.

I'm doing the weekly weighing challenge too since it's more loose, but at the same time, checking more often is helpful so I can see trend instead of perhaps an odd day on one of my weigh-ins.

June Goal Weight: 93.5 lbs
Ultimate Goal Weight: 85 lbs (85-92 lbs is okay)
SW Round 225

6/1 : 96.5 lbs I'm having a lot of trouble with eating and my brain is not helping. I still need to work out, too, but I'm just so tired and empty that I've just been staring at a wall all day. Fortunately, it's a day off so I'm not hit with too many consequences.
6/2 96.5 lbs I guess I can't complain. I went back to work today, and now I have to plan, budget, and send invitations for a children's birthday party I'm hosting in 5 days. So tired.

Hi Everyone - I am not new to MFP, but I am new to posting. Trying to see if I can really keep myself on track this month of June and beginning of July before heading on long vacation for niece's wedding.

Female, 5'4", 57 years old
HW: 210 (May, 2023)
CW: 152
GW: no idea... I hope I'll know it when I see it in the mirror... I think at least 10 more pounds need to go

Goals: Cardio 5/7 days (I don't think this will be difficult)
Bodyweight Train 3/7 days (I have been doing 1 day/week, telling myself I'll do 2 days/ week... but that hasn't happened)
Log Food 10/10 days (I'm really good on weekdays, not so good on weekends or holidays)

Round 225
6/1: 152 - logged food, walked 30 minutes after lunch, did 60 minute Cardio Dance class after work
6/2: 152 - logged food, walked 30 minutes after lunch (even in this 90 degree heat)

@itladyee I have an All or None attitude too. It's been my downfall in the past. I am currently tring to redirect it to a smaller scale so when I stuff up I try to get back in track immediately rather than to throw it in waiting for the next day or week. For me it is a tough skill to master. You are so positive and driven. Stick with it because it will be worth it!

My goal for this round is to just keep showing up and posting here. I did well last round to get back in track but I have been losing focus and dropping out during the last few rounds. I know if I don't post I will gain. I still have around 1 pound to lose to get back to my lowest weight recorded during these challenges so that will be my goal for this round. I will certainly think twice before taking a diet break next time!

SW Round 225 - 169.8

6/1 169.8 - I didn't update the last few days of the last round. I got lazy. I still went to the gym, but my sessions weren't very motivated. I was in a slump. I did get a good walk in at lunch today. Check in yesterday with my weight loss Dr. She said since my weight has been hovering around the same spot the last few months, that she just wants me to focus on maintaining for the next month and not necessarily losing so my body can adjust to the weight I have lost and "reset" and then work at losing again. She still wants me to maintain my gym sessions and calorie counting but focus on being fit and not so focused on losing. I have 19.8 lbs to hit my ultimate goal and I've been getting discouraged. Maybe this is the reset that I need to get my motivation back. I know the closer I get to my goal, the slower the weight loss will be. I ate like complete crap yesterday and my weight dropped today. I was shocked! LOL I was expecting the scale to yell WTF at me!

6/2 - ⬇️ 169.4 - Yesterday I logged 12,523 steps 🎉🎉🎉 I’m only about a 1/3 of that so far today. Meetings at work and driving most of the day presented a challenge for my steps. I’m going to go take a walk here in a few. Water intake is good today, but I had a high sodium lunch so hoping it doesn’t hurt the scale tomorrow.

Came into work early and worked on the school garden for an hour. It was field day today so I was outside in the heat (92!) for the majority of the day. My plan was to also go to the gym but I can barely keep my eyes open. I'll have to double up this weekend to stay on track. Also logged my food today even though I went waaaaaay off track and didn't want to admit it lol

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - Round 225!
