Round 226
June 11- June 20, 2023

Please join us starting on 6/11 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 226.

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

@SModa61 it does sound like a lifetime movie & hopefully doesn’t end up as a Jerry Springer show! We will have to tell everyone eventually & there may be some big reactions. My new half brother considered getting his dad a 23&me test for Father’s Day. I am just glad I learned of it before seeing the 50% match.

-
6/11 142.6 (trend 144.0) I'm going on holiday at the start of the next round and I really want to give it everything I've got for the next 10 days so I can feel most confident in my summer clothes and beachwear, and also to give me a bit of a buffer against expected holiday gain. However, yesterday wasn't my greatest effort, as I didn't track carefully with our barbecue that we had, and I had several alcoholic drinks. Feeling a bit stiff and tired this morning, I need to fight the urge to be lazy today.
Yesterday was 4.6 mile morning walk, 1hr lower body at the gym, calories estimated, alcohol.
STEPS 15,417

6/12 143.2 (trend 143.9) Yikes, this was not the plan! OH made amazing baba ganoush and chicken kebabs with flatbreads and I ate far too much after barely eating all day. It wasn't until I checked his recipe for the dip that I realised how much fat was in it so I probably shouldn't have eaten half a bowl full, oops. I'm feeling very bloated this morning so I think this gain is partly food in transit, but also I think the hot, humid weather we are having is causing me to retain water as my joints are very stiff.
Yesterday was 4.6 mile morning walk, rest day from the gym, calories estimated and over, alcohol 1 drink.
STEPS 13,664

6/13 141.4 (trend 143.6) Phew, back down. I got out for my walk at 7am because the day was due to be a scorcher and it was glorious! It had rained the night before so everything was lush and fresh, very energising. We had thunder storms and heavy rain again in the late afternoon which caused some temporary flooding at my mum's house and she called me in a panic, asking me to come and lift paving slabs in the rain to let the water drain, but the water was gone by the time we finished the conversation, still feeling guilty that I didn't rush to her rescue though. It's her 79th birthday next week and I worry so much about her living on her own as she's becoming quite thin and frail but still insists on trying to do too much herself and she's been fainting recently and hurting herself. I'm going to be out of the country for 9 days starting next week and I just found out that my brother will also be away in India so mum will be on her own and we have more rain due. I hope she doesn't do anything silly and get into difficulties.
Yesterday was 4.85 mile morning walk, 1hr upper body at the gym, calories good, alcohol free.
STEPS 14,759

6/14 141.4 (trend 143.3) No morning walk yesterday as I had a dentist appointment then went shopping. Back home I started to feel really unwell, headache and body aches, so I laid down for the rest of the day and went to bed around 8pm. Feeling slightly better today but not sure if I should take another day off and rest.
Yesterday was no walk or gym, calories good, alcohol free.

Round 226
Starting Weight- 147
Current weight- 143.2
10 Day Goal-I made it into the normal range for BMI. I would love to remain there and possibly lose a bit. Healthy eating. Exercise most days. Drink more water. Take vitamins.
Ultimate Goal Weight: Sub 130
6/11 143.0 Spent the day with family. Went to the Louvre. Was on my feet for hours, but obviously slow walking around. Ate at home, so stayed under calories. My water intake was pretty terrible, and I did not take my vitamin.
6/12 143.5 This should be just normal fluctuation. Did a ton of meal prep. No exercise.

Stayed under calories. Drank plenty of water. Did not take my vitamins again,
6/13 143.7 Woke up with swollen, achy, inflamed joints. The joys of getting older. 70 minute evening walk. Was warm but there was a breeze. Ate junk for dinner despite having meal prepped, but remained under calories. Water intake was ok. Finally remembered vitamins.

6/12 - 168.2

6/13-169.8 - did workout. Ate somewhat better after that but still eating habits need correction.
Not sure how people meet there protein intake, I am far away from my macro percentage for protein. Carb and fat seems to be just taking the whole 🥧.

6/14-169 ( early morning weight check. Hoping it keeps me on track for rest of the day)

Another round....it's been slow and steady for me the last half dozen rounds...getting stuck in ruts for days at a time before finally breaking though and hopping down. I'm 22km into my 50km dog walk challenge for the Canadian Cancer Society...Mack and I will make it to 50 before the end of the month. We leave for a big trip in 28 days so I would really like to get to 160 before we go so I won't be tickling the 170's when we get back after no scale and tracking while we're away.

Female - 51yrs - 5'5"
Goal Weight - to hang out somewhere 145-150
R225 End Weight 06/10 - 165.0

6/11 - 165.6 - Very bloated today, thanks to TOM and minimal activity yesterday. I'm heading up to my job today just for one night, back after work tomorrow.
6/12 - DNW - Didn't bring my scale to mom and dad's. Was very snacky last night, but feel significantly less bloated this morning. Heading home after my shift today.
6/13 - 165.2 - still in the 165 rut. Got in a walk with Mack after I had dinner with the boys last night. Heading out for a hike this morning, braving the mud and mosquitos. Going to track every calorie while I'm home this week to get back on track!!
6/14 - 166.8 - BLEH! So much for tracking every calorie...shoved a whole bunch of carbs in my cake hole that didn't belong there yesterday. All I can do is try to be better today. Taking the dog down to the waterfront for a long walk this morning.

I am just coming off a 10-day maintenance round. I’m experimenting with a cycle of doing 10 days at a deficit followed by 10 days at or just above maintenance. Repeat. It’s partly inspired by the MATADOR study but mostly is just my way of making this process sustainable.

6/11 217 My weight has still not recovered from the Chinese buffet on Friday. Hopefully tomorrow. I am very proud of myself today. I found out some life altering news (who I thought was my bio father is not! My life is right out of a soap opera!). My son wanted to get me food as comfort, I said no. Life tip: do not do DNA tests if you don’t want to find out crazy things.
6/12 216 Almost recovered from the Chinese buffet on Friday. I am hoping for a wish today. I am still dealing with big info I learned yesterday. I did not buy wine & I did not eat my feelings. I chatted with my new biological half siblings. Fortunately for my mental health, the person who I thought was my father had no part of my identity. We were not close & he died 10 years ago. The new bio half siblings live quite far away so no pressure. It is still weird, emotionally draining & crazy. I feel for my mother since she married the other guy because she was pregnant. That was a life changing decision that made her life difficult. I know she is mad at her 20 year old self.
6/13 217.2. I ate Kraft dinner yesterday. Felt the need for carbs instead of protein & veggies. I will do better today as I know it helps anxiety. I do not want to get depressed & I do not want to feel sad. I am not even sure what I should feel. I need to remember that the right food can heal. I do feel a ton of guilt since my mom is over the top sad about my paternity. I feel responsible. Oh well, life can’t always be simple.

6/14 215.2. If we are keeping track it took 5 days to get back to my pre Chinese buffet weight. I am actually surprised because I ate pizza yesterday. Yesterday was the last day of allowed wallowing. So I wallowed, I didn’t eat veggies or keto. Back to the program today even though I don’t feel better. Lots to navigate as we tell my birth father & the rest of my family. From what I have read it is the secrets that cause depression & anxiety so I will get that over with as quickly as possible.

Round 226
June 11 – June 20, 2023

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

SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
SW current MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
CW 125.8
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126

Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.

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: 124.2

Day/Weight/Comment

6/11 (Maine) – 124.8 Certainly not figuring out cause and effect, but maybe that is the point of maintaining in a “range”. When I hit 123.2 last week, I had no idea why, then in reverse, I have no idea why this morning had an “up” after yesterday’s logical “up”. Just keep watching…….

6/12 (Maine) – 125.0 Odd numbers continue. No reason for an “up”. Just tells us that while we can watch day to day numbers, it is the number over time that matters.

Yesterday, tried a new way of sharing one car while in Maine. Hubby took it early in the morning to head out fishing. When I wanted to us it, I walked the 4 miles to the marina for it. Worked well, other than walking with wallet and such as I was running errands directly from there.

6/13 (Maine) – 124.6 Logical? Did not pre-track my entertaining. Ate more than I should. Tried to estimate afterwards which put me in at over 2000 cal. No exercise. Number goes down.

Today is cleanup, pack. Then we are going to a movie in a theater!! Fun! Then, load car and drive home, and unpack again. Back to Mass.

6/14 (Mass) – 124.6 While I do seem to have more bad choices creeping in, I will say that I am still tracking as accurately as possible. That alone is a solid improvement. Sometimes that “bad” is not as bad as one imagined. Knowing that can be enough to stop the pattern. For example, 6/13, we were entertaining and I did not pre-track. The whipped ricotta and homemade crostini’s were too too good. I ate some with the guests, and then more after they left. Had not tracked and decided to skip the tracking for once. Later than evening, I decided to reconstruct and track, and am pretty sure that I came close to accurate. Yes, it was over 2000 cal FOR THE DAY. Then subtract an estimate of my no exercise daily burn. Ultimately, I was over, but by several hundred calories. Even if it was 500 calories, I would have to repeat this same bad behavior 7 more times to gain one real pound. So the key is to not get into a tailspin and turn that into my daily behavior again. While I value my body weight scale, IMO tracking tells me more than anything else.

Yes, I am now home and pre-tracked my day.
