Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 245

quiltingjaine · December 2023

Round 245
December 18-27, 2023 Please join us starting on 12/18 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 245.

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

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE

Hi yes please, I'd like to join.

_JeffreyD_ · December 2023

Thanks @quiltingjaine for the setup.

I am back at it again. (sentence brought to you by the Department of Redundancy Department.)
This will be a unique round for me as we launch a road trip this Friday. Still deciding whether to bring the scale with us. I may decide to instead be on the lookout for NSV's. Non-Scale Victories. As you can see, my goals below have nothing to do with the scale readings.

Male: 66
6’-2”
OSW: 237.8 (Nov. 2016)
OGW: 199 (just to say I did)
Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205

Goals for this round:

1. Log my food daily.
2. Get some exercise.
3. Drink more water.

Round 245 Posts
This is my posting format….

Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed.
/ Logged Food - yesterday; Exercise – yesterday / Comment

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

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.

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

Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

I’m a 65 year young gal working on getting rid of those last 8 pounds. Last go-a-round I managed to stay mostly in the 137 range, but bounced back into the 138’s for the final weigh in. This round I would like to flirt with the 136 number, even if I end in the 137’s. Here we go! We got this!

My round 3!

5'9 F

I'm starting to learn that my loss will be quite slow. For reference, my senior year of HS I went from 185 to ~165 in about 3 months. I wasn't working out at the time so it was all diet. I maintained this weight +/- a few pounds during college just due to the amount of walking required daily (easily 12k+).

After graduating I've fluctuated a bit, but starting senior year of college I became very consistent at the gym lifting weights. 5+ years later I've now gained a lot more muscle so naturally my weight has increased. My 185 now looks a lot different than 10 years ago, but I could still stand to lose some excess fat.

It seems to be a much slower journey and I'm not really sure what my end goal weight should be exactly, but I think these 10 day rounds help me accept the small wins and focus on the journey instead of hoping for a big loss like 20lbs again (which may or may not happen)

My first time to do this! I hope this works! I've got 95 pounds I want/need to lose. I've been up and down my entire life, like a roller coaster... I was competitive in the fitness arena in my twenties and at one point got down to 130 but once I started weight lifting was around 185. I have a sweet tooth and tend to binge eat. My goal for 2024 is to get this weight off for good this time!! I am afraid it will be slow however due to hormonal issues or lack thereof. And although I'm at a high weight I look and feel great at around 225 but my goal is to get to 200.
I am 5'8 and had a recent Surgical Hysterectomy, so post-menopausal and hypothyroidism, so the struggle is real... Age 46.

About Me:

This is my seventeenth 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). I recently started working full-time (after over 23 years as a SAHM) so my time to exercise is now limited.

I’m up a little because I’m off routine. Ok. Rational. Last night I decided to start fast @ 6pm. I felt terrific after that last fast and spent some time researching last night as to what happens to your body at 24, 48, and 72hrs -planning for 72. Pumped! Water, black coffee, electrolytes and grass-fed beef bone broth. 💪🏻

Health Journey

1990 (Age 32) - Avg. 135 lbs
2001 (Age 43) - Avg 145 lbs
2010 (Age 52) HW 172 lbs

UGW = 130lbs (ceiling)

In Aug 14, 2014 @ 157lbs (down 15 from heaviest of 172lbs in 2010), I decided to take control of my health. I lost 30lbs by 1/1/2015. Weight topped @ 128-132lbs through the end of 2020. Five years!

🎢 Roller Coaster Begins….

2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140 lbs.

8/1/ 2022 crept up to 142lbs.
Dropped to 128lbs again by 9/30 then held 130lbs till 1/1/23.

2023 Back ⬆️ 145lbs by July 15! 15lbs BOOM! Enjoyed eating & margaritas way too much! Ive always eaten healthy BUT portion control is/was a huge issue. Started tracking. Joined “Just give me 10 days” R231 in beginning of 8/2023. Here we are!

I learned MY choices created an emotional 🎢 roller coaster with yo-yo weight and fitness. My forever goal is to reach 130lbs as a ceiling. Pretty clear to me that once I reached a goal weight I would then relax/ drift backwards. So glad 145lbs was the max over the last nine years.

I also noticed that as I age it becomes much MUCH more difficult to lose weight. I could loose 15lbs easy in 6 to 8 weeks up to 2020ish … This is absolutely not true anymore!!!!

/yes I logged every salty or sugary bite; very little walking/

Pizza out for lunch with the whole sandwich yesterday. Sandwich you ask? My son and his wife and kids are one slice of bread. My parents are the other slice of bread. I am the meat in the middle. (In other words, I paid the tab. HA!)

Just paying it back for the parents and paying it forward for the kiddos. It’s my turn. Thankfully the kiddos are slowly growing into their adult roles. The parents on the other hand are regressing… They don’t have full blown dementia, but are showing some signs.

DW’s parents are ten years older than mine so this started ten years ago or so for us. Her folks have passed on, now it is my parent’s turn. Our siblings watch from their out-of-town locations, but seem thankful.

I am not whining, just stating the reality of our season of life for now.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

Just trying to be healthy. Weight loss is an extra bonus.

Eventual weight goal = 164

12/18 - 174.8. I can't believe we're even posting on a weight loss site on Christmas week! I'm gonna treat myself to one full cupcake, donut, big cookie, or ? As soon as I decide which one. Other than that, my Christmas extras will be mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, lots of French fried onions straight from the bag while I'm making the green bean casserole. Hopefully I won't backslide much. Just 10 more pounds. I know I can. I know I can.

GregoryStaley · December 2023

Thrilled to be in my fourth Round. I haven't been this long in an eating routine in many years. Not sure why this is working for me. I know that Carbs are my weak point, so I have designed an eating plan that avoids or minimizes them. I try to shop for my plan daily at the same time. Holidays treats surround me. I am avoiding the places that will get me in trouble (staff lounge). This round I am adding water and tracking it. I may be a little dehydrated. Let's find out. Nothing changes if nothing changes.

Day, Weight, Comment
12/18 - 153.2 - Had a giant jump up due to salt and water retention yesterday for my round end weight. Quite alright since it was also normal eating day Saturday and we had Fam over. Haven't seen them in nearly a month and won't see them again until the New Year. Oof! It was nice to see them though and I'll accept the weight from that little get together. Yesterday was a low carb day and I obviously dropped right back down. Today is normal eating day with a run planned once it gets light enough. Hoping to keep mindful and intuitive about my eating choices. I can see changes in normal eating habits happening already so that's really good (: I need to lower my "normal" eating day carb intake in general anyway. Also need to slim down my portions, I certainly eat too large of portions more often than not. Here's to continuing this journey with all of you!

I'm Julie. 35 years old. Married. SAHM to two year old twins.

SW RND 245: 135.6 (end of last round).

12/18: 136.1. Oops, not starting off in the right direction. I started baking the Christmas cookies. I may have sampled a few too many. I also didn't go to the gym because my husband worked late. I went for a short walk, but nothing big.

My first time to do this! I hope this works! I've got 95 pounds I want/need to lose. I've been up and down my entire life, like a roller coaster... I was competitive in the fitness arena in my twenties and at one point got down to 130 but once I started weight lifting was around 185. I have a sweet tooth and tend to binge eat. My goal for 2024 is to get this weight off for good this time!! I am afraid it will be slow however due to hormonal issues or lack thereof. And although I'm at a high weight I look and feel great at around 225 but my goal is to get to 200.
I am 5'8 and had a recent Surgical Hysterectomy, so post-menopausal and hypothyroidism, so the struggle is real... Age 46.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/17 …..178.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

12/18 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) After the handymen left yesterday and we agreed upon a price for the newest project, I had to travel 200 miles each way to pick up some special supplies for the project. It was an unexpected trip. So I was sitting in the car most of the day, eating my main meal at a restaurant, missing most of my water and feeling like a beached whale most of the day. No point in weighing the obvious, especially when it’s been two days in a row off plan and with very little to no exercise. I’ll hop back on the scale tomorrow or the next day. We’ll see how tight my rings feel. Today has GOT to be a good day with no surprises! The small project begins today and should only take 3 or 4 days. Being at home is a good thing…….But I do have to start my baking soon. Very soon. After all, I am the grandma, or “Nana” as most of them call me. Good luck this round, my friends. It is definitely the hardest round of the year for most. Let’s just do as good as we can, when we can but always carry a joy, a peace and a light in our hearts and lives.
