Day, Weight, Comment

11/08 - 190.2
Ok, new round, and I’m really aiming to clean up my act. I know I’ve said that round after round and just haven’t gotten it together. I’m up 12 pounds from the beginning of the year when I wanted to go 20 pounds the other way. I am trying not to beat myself up over it, but I have to figure out why I’ve been self-sabotaging, not just in terms of weight but other things as well. I’ve never been like this. But I’m going to try really hard this round to get back to eating responsibly and writing every day. Really. Really really. (Anyone have any reading recommendations on self-sabotage?)

This is my first time doing this challenge! My weight has been moving in the wrong direction lately (thanks in part to buying way too much Halloween candy), so I need something to push me a little harder and hopefully see my weight come back down.

Perhaps I misspoke. We are headed to East Grinstead to stay at a Landmark trust house. We stayed at Purton Green on our last visit. I adored it.

Round Goal: 151.x

Water: 90oz
Day, Weight, Comment
11/08 - 155.5 - I had a self-sabotage night. BF made homemade guac and he brought out chips so I splurged on chips & guac while making dinner. Then he asked if I'd like to help him finish off the last of the ice cream and I said yes without thinking. I took m lactose pills but I was 750 (estimated) calories over goal for the day and lactose pills don't help with water retention from salt. Plus, it was too dark to take the dogs for a walk after dinner so I didn't get my step goal, either. Better today - no Wet Wednesday as there's a conflict so we're having chicken quarters for dinner with whatever sides we have at home (frozen or canned veggies included. Better than no veg!). Leftover chicken stir fry for lunch and breakfast was a fruit&protein smoothie with chia, flax, and greek yogurt. I only managed half of it. I ran 20 minutes this morning as well, since the 5k is in 10 days and I took a week and a half off of running between travel and weather! That 20 minutes was terribly challenging so I'm hoping that my efforts this week into early next will be enough to get me through to completing the 5k without stopping (even if I don't PR or even get close to June's PR. Circumstances have changed a lot)

Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 241
Hi I am new here, (to the JGMTD rounds, not MFP). CJ here. I need this group... thank you for having me.

Who I am:

As many of us, I was never heavy in my youth. Age and lifestyle have caught up with me. I grew up from age of 14 in restaurants, hotels and bars. My weight has fluctuated for many years.
Currently,
I am not... NOT following anyone's diet. I am using my best sense. I have watched dozens of nutrition YouTube, heard many peoples different ideas, and using the things out of those that I think makes sense, FOR ME. Roughly this translates to:

Always eat what I enjoy. Don't go hungry.
Almost no processed foods
Dairy rarely, when I do, only full fat.
Wheat rarely
Heavy protein, including fish
Vegetables, mostly dark green but all vegetable are fine.
Fruit, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries for the most part. Other fruit more measured.
Avocados, plenty
Olive Oil plenty
Alcohol, sensible, when with friends, not as nightly event.
The Golden Rule is there are no rules. Enjoy life! (but be sensible.)

I need accountability. Thank you to giving me that.

I need to exercise. I need to exercise. I need to exercise.
So up until two weeks ago, on stressful days, I would drive thru Del Taco or go to the DQ (sigh).
I leave for a mini vacation this weekend, it is a birthday, ugh. Friends, drinkers and eaters.

Goals for Day 10:
- RGW - 229.9
- Gym 6 times
- Close ALL Rings for 10 Days
- No Fast Food
- Enjoy birthday weekend in San Diego, but don't gorge, make sensible choices. Rebound weight within 3 days after return.

Long Term Goal Weight- 199.9 (Dec 31, 2023)
HW- 1/21/2021 -260 (High Weight)
6/25/2023 -251.5 (Recent) Use this as a marker from when I started focusing on food more. I didn't exercise, nor was I following my scale, I just looked at these numbers today.

SW 11/8 - 236.2
Thank you, We got this
-cjd-

lanniemcvern8827 · November 2023

11/08 182.0 Quite delighted to see that the gains from the vacation are gone. I ate well yesterday. We don't really have any unusual days like birthdays, holidays, trips, etc. so I'm hoping this will be a productive 10 days.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/07 …..183.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

11/08 -182.6- (Trend weight 184.1) I find it so interesting, amazing even, all the different approaches to weight loss in these challenges. A food that one will not touch another wants more of in their diet. Some calorie intakes are double what others are eating and still they lose weight at a steady and safe rate. Truly there is more than way to conquer. Many of us have health issues that lead to certain diets etc. It seems key that we have to self-reflect. Whatever got us into this mess (carbs or calories or lack of fruits/veggies, or lack of exercise), this is what we must reverse to reverse the damage it has caused. Each one of our stories are as different as our approaches. All paths are right. I just want each and every one of you to know how much I appreciate you for how you open your homes, your families, your struggles, your achievements, your research, your medical histories, your lives with the the rest of us. You are helping so many and making such a tremendous difference, not just in your own lives, but in the lives of the rest of us too. Thank you for that. Truly, thank you. Good luck this round everyone!

Perhaps I misspoke. We are headed to East Grinstead to stay at a Landmark trust house. We stayed at Purton Green on our last visit. I adored it.

I'd never heard of The Landmark Trust so I Googled it! They have some amazing properties! We only tend to book cottages in the UK when we go away with our children & grandchildren as we have a touring caravan, but it there is anytime when we want to book a self catering property then we will definitely look at the Landmark Trust. Hope you have an amazing time

I have done a couple of these, but not in a long time, and I think those were 30 day versions. I also have never been comfortable posting my weight publicly. For some reason, that has changed in my mind today. Anyway, happy to jump on this 10 day!

Goals:
1. Track food every day
2. Walk at least 20 minutes 3 times
3. At least 3 "workouts". In quotes because I am starting with lower intensity physical therapy work and stretching that my body really needs right now.

@jspecies11 you are my birthday twin! I hit the big Medicare 65 on Saturday. Going to celebrate it by going to the Oregon State football 🏈 game. Maybe I will get my steps in if we have to park very far away!

🍁🏈10 more days of my life🏈🍁

My goal for this go around is to find the number on the scale to be smaller than today’s number. Hoping for the 137’s. I have several birthday events this go around, including my own, so this may take some creativity! Will continue to keep my steps 👣 above 10,000, guzzle the 💧water, log my ✏️ food, and hit the gym at least 3 times a week. No munching 🚫 after 8:00 pm and limit my alcohol 🍷 intake. Come on people! Let’s do this!!!

Jen; 46; 5'4"

About Me:

This is my thirteenth round and really appreciate having someplace to stay accountable.
Thanks to a medication I'm on for my mental health and an overeating habit, I managed to gain a lot of weight in the last year or so. On July 4, I stepped on the scale for the first time since I started the med (that is known to cause weight gain) and decided enough was enough. I buckled down and started actually recording my food for the first time in over five years and started walking every day. Now I need motivation to keep going. I'm a mom of five and grandma of one 4yo that I babysit during the week when my daughter is working. We live in the Pacific Northwest where we're entering the rainy season which makes walking a lot harder, and it's my main form of exercise right now. I do have access to gym equipment at our HOA clubhouse, but I still have to walk there and back (takes about 9 minutes).

Previous Rounds:

RND 229 - SW: 287.8; EW: 280.4 (-7.4)
RND 230 - SW: 280.4; EW: 276.0 (-4.4)
RND 231 - SW: 276.0; EW: 267.2 (-8.8)
RND 232 - SW: 267.2; EW: 262.0 (-5.2)
RND 233 - SW: 262.0; EW: 252.8 (-9.2)
RND 234 - SW: 252.8; EW: 248.2 (-4.6)
RND 235 - SW: 248.2; EW: 243.4 (-4.8)
RND 236 - SW: 243.4; EW: 243.0 (-0.4)

RND 237 - SW: 243.0; EW: 237.4 (-5.6) !
RND 238 - SW: 237.4; EW: 232.8 (-4.6)
RND 239 - SW: 232.8; EW: 226.4 (-6.4)
RND 240 - SW: 226.4; EW: 220.6 (-5.8)
Total Lost: 67.2lbs

Goals:
* track food every day
* walk for at least one hour and/or 3.5-4 miles every day
* OR go to the gym and do 15 minutes on the bike and 30 minutes on the treadmill

Round 241
heaviest: 294 (7/4/23)
SW: 220.6
GW (short term): 200
RGW: 216

11/8 - 220.4 - 3.82 miles - Made pizza tonight. As always, it's a long, arduous project, but so worth it in the end. I made a half pizza for myself with fat free mozzarella and turkey pepperoni. It didn't look very appealing because the cheese didn't really melt well (as expected), but it tasted surprisingly good. I think it was the extra stuff I put in the sauce. I'm stuffed and sore all over. Started cooking at 3:30 and sat down to eat a little before 6pm after cleaning up the kitchen except for where the cut pizzas are (will clean that later). I shouldn't have to cook until Saturday I think. There are a lot of leftovers (besides the pizza). Tomorrow I have a job interview and I'm getting really nervous. I need this job because it's the only place I can get to without a car, but also the thought of going back to work after almost 24 years is terrifying.

@justanotherjen13 Wish you the very best of luck on your job interview tomorrow. I'll send up a prayer.
