Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 248

pettycoatjunction · January 21

🐾☃️🍎Ten More Days 🍎⛄️🐾

I’m a 65 year young Oregon gal working on getting rid of those last 5-8 pounds. Last round I hit my first goal of 135, now working to hit my next goal of 130. The plan this round continues to be a minimum of 10,000 steps 👣, 2-3 days a week at the gym🏋️‍♀️, logging ✏️ everyday with no snacking after 8:00, and limiting the 🍷to social events only. And of course guzzling the water 💧!!!

This round I am going to focus on eating 3 meals per day and staying within my calorie budget. For exercise, I will focus on getting 22 active minutes per day. I also need to keep showing up here no matter what the scale says!

SW RND 248 : 164.7 lbs

1/17 : 164.5 lbs

1/18 : 164.2 lbs Surprised by the drop because I ate a lot of curry last night. I might be dehydrated.

1/19 : 164.2 lbs I need a plan for pizza night. We make small pizzas from scratch and the home made base is delicious but calorific. I think I will aim for 4 slices which is about 500 calories according to my calculations. I will eat slowly and mindfully with lots of sips of water in between. Last week I ate 6 slices which was way too much and I felt over full.

1/20 : 164.2 lbs I am so pleased that I stuck to my plan for pizza night. Usually I gain about a pound then spend the rest of the challenge trying to lose it again. I felt full after 4 slices and most importantly, I didn't feel like I was missing out. Even though my the scale hasn't moved for a few days, I feel like I am making progress.

1/21 : 164.2 I think eating slowly had really helped me get more pleasure out of eating small amounts of treats. Yesterday my kids made some apple crumble and it took the family less than 5 minutes to eat a their slices. I made my small slice last 15 minutes. I know I have rubbished mindful eating in the past but for me it is really helping. Still no movement on the scale though. I am surprised the scale would actually weigh me so consistently the same weight. Surely there would be fluid fluctuations from day to day that should show up on the scale? My scale remembers different people's weight. I suspect there is logic in the scale that snaps the weight to my last weight if it is within a certain margin. Or perhaps my scale is broken.

thanks for the good thought- there's a new salsa class at my gym, I may just give it another try :-)

@musicsax Happy “birth” day for you! Enjoy your time with your daughter. I’m sure she is proud of you for taking such good care of yourself… good for her to have a super healthy, vigorous mom! Can she keep up with you?!😎

Yes, she likes walking, and runs too (I'm definitely not a runner!!)

@refactored
My scale stays the same if there is only a small difference. To "wake it up" I pick up something heavy and weigh, then set it down and weigh again.

I do light one footed stomps, or presses, sometimes, if I think it is confused.

Round 248 ● My Journey ~ round 4 ● Karla, 67y, 5'4"
Starting wt. 231 lb. /Goal wt. 140 lb. *** Ending wt. round 3 ✴ 219 lb.

(Day 41) 01/17 ✴ 219.0 lb. ~ I definitely need to move more. There is still time tonight but...It's cold out and dark ... I guess it will be weights and stairs. I did meet the healthy eating (except sodium), calorie & water goals. So, I will call today successful.
(Day 42) 01/18 ✴ 219 lb. ~ Happy to say, I got up and moved last night. I’m not too surprised about today’s weight after going way over on sodium yesterday. Today I met the healthy eating, calorie & water goals with a few calories left over. It was deskwork all day, dang those virtual meetings, so I am a slug.
(Day 43) 01/19 ✴ 218 lb. ~ I hope to get over this little slump. I haven’t lost a lb. in a while. Doldrums tonight. I need to get outside and walk. Tomorrow will be better.
(Day 44) 01/20 ✴ 218.4 lb. ~ I knew today would be better. I am checking in earlier than my normal at bedtime, it is because I forced myself to get up and walk a 30-minute mile on the treadmill. I realize that’s slow and wasn’t pretty, but I did it! I have plenty of calories left to finish the day and I feel like I can make good choices. I wish the best for you.
(Day 45) 01/21 ✴ 217.8 lb. ~ Another early post for me. Oregon is a great place to live from April to October. But the winter months of clouds, rain, and wind can be very depressing, it reminds me of Ohio in the winter. On the positive, I have a 2-day streak of 30-minute exercise. I haven’t made excellent choices for food today. I need to increase my vegetables and with less than 400 calories left, it will be a vegetable-laden dinner. The scale is easing down slowly, I was planning for a 3 lb. loss this round. Since we are at the halfway point of this round already, it will be a mini-miracle if I achieve that. I am enjoying the challenge, but it is hard.

(Day 46) 01/22 ✴ ??? lb. ~
(Day 47) 01/23 ✴ ??? lb. ~
(Day 48) 01/24 ✴ ??? lb. ~
(Day 49) 01/25 ✴ ??? lb. ~
(Day 50) 01/26 ✴ ??? lb. ~

Goals this Round:

Water 60oz+ each day
Eating healthy, high protein & fiber, 1450 kcal limit.
30min of exercise 7 x a week; walking, strength, intentional movement

🙂 Whatever I am not changing, I am choosing.🙂

@Onewomanswalk
3 pounds in 10 days is very ambitious. 2 pounds in 10 days is great! 1 pound in 10 days is definitely a step in the right direction.
Thanks for reminding me. Veggies

nypa96 · January 22

First time in this challenge. Also first time on MFP in quite a long time. I will start tracking tomorrow.

RND 248 (my third)
54 y/o female (bday last week so I had to change this 🙂), 5’3”

SW (first round): 155.8
SW (this round): 155.5

1/17 - 153.2 - very excited to be starting with a loss - now I need to hold it. Celebration season is over and looking forward to getting back into a normal routine - although what I thought was going to be a quiet weekend this weekend has suddenly become very busy. Winter Warrior Challenge #17 - 3 miles - still snow covered roads and extremely low wind-chills. 14 days left to go.

1/18 - 154.5 😩. Winter Warrior Challenge Day #18 - walked 3 miles to give mynlegs a rest. Roads are still snow covered, 17 degrees Fahrenheit,feels like 10 - felt warm compared to the past 4 days 😂

1/19 - 152.8 😯. Not sure how that happened, but happy to see it. Winter Warrior Challenge Day #19. Still snow covered roads (it's been too cold to melt) and super cold 🥶 but I got it done. On the downward slide “only” 12 days to go 🤪

1/20 - 152.3. Hoping this holds but going out to dinner at very fancy new restaurant tonight so thinking this will likely go the other way tomorrow. Winter Warrior Challenge Day #20 - 5 miles. Only 11 more days to go!

1/21- 152.5 - busy day - lots of car time- drove 2 hours to watch my daughter compete in an indoor track meet - lots of random food but kept things as healthy as possible and did not go overboard. Noted that indoor runners seem a lot warmer than I've been lately 🤔 🙄 😂 - Winter Warrior Challenge Day #21 ‐ 3 miles. Still very cold and snow covered roads. It is supposed to warm up a bit this week so hoping I can finish this challenge on clear roads 🤞

HW: 194.7 (88.3 kg) April 25, 2020
END WT RND 247: 177.4 (80.5 kg)

1/17- 176.8 (80.2 kg) My rheumatologist noticed I was a few pounds down from my last appointment six months ago.
1/18- 176.7 Comfort food tonight. Hamburger Helper Italian Basil Penne. High sodium, but within my calories.
1/19- 176.5 Coworkers suggested pizza from a local place for lunch. The restaurant doesn't have calories online, so I guesstimated with a mod pizza. That took most of my allotment, so good thing it was very filling. And delicious!
1/20- 176.1 Helped my sister do some painting today, plan to help again a few hours tomorrow. Steak and potatoes for dinner tonight.
1/21- 175.2 (79.5 kg) New low appeared on the scale. I suspect it was water weight, but even if I'm up for a while, I have faith I'll see it and new lows if I stick with it. Also, even though I don't use kgs outside of online, they make for different milestones in addition to the pound ones. Under 80 kgs! Next looking forward to being under 175.

SW Rnd 246: 147.0
SW Rnd 248: 140.8
EW:
Goals for this round:
Tomorrow we leave for a long weekend at a New England B&B, with breakfasts that are amazing and dinners out every night. But we'll be snowshoeing every day so I should be able to maintain. These 5 days will be a great test on keeping to the plan while enjoying a vacation. Real life beta test

*maintain weight at 140.8 (or lose slightly when I get back)
*enjoy my vacation without obsessing, but weigh every day (travel scale!)
*have fun and make this work for the long run!

1/22 no surprise there; day off from exercise; not my "usual" food choices and two glasses of wine! I feel good about the whole 4 days and sure I'll "correct" this in the next couple of days. Glad I logged and got on the scale today knowing both would be up- big step forward for me!

01/22 - 153.0 - Up today due to fast food. I was getting shaky and nauseous while we were out helping the boys due to missing breakfast and lunch and that was our only option. My tummy hurt all night last night due to it and I'm super bloated this morning. Hopefully it'll drop off again soon. Run scheduled for this morning. BF got up and did the Peloton. He has a work challenge going on (3 of our good friends locally all work for same company - it's virtual, too) so they're on a team. He said he has to get up and work out 15 minutes every day and get 5000 steps so he doesn't let the team down. Good! It got me out of bed at 515, the alarm I've been ignoring due to it still being too dark to run. It's good for me to get up and get an early start on the day anyway. Especially when it starts getting light earlier in the day as spring arrives. TOM set to arrive this week, likely in the next 2-3 days so scale may be bouncy. I'm mentally ready for that.

Previous Day's Comments

01/17 - A drop after low carb day and TMI. I was also able to get the heaters working long enough and good enough to get just enough flow of water for a quick shower for both BF and I. It wasn't thorough, but I don't feel so awful and gross anymore. No workouts until a shower is guaranteed which may not be until next week. We may be above freezing during the day, but we're below freezing overnight until Sunday (or so the forecast says) and our pipes have proven that overnight is enough to stop the water flow. I'm content to maintain 152.x for this round given the circumstances to start off. If I lose more, great! If not, maintenance is the goal. I've done well maintaining through the last 3 days so I feel confident I can manage going forward well enough.
01/18 - Not bad for a "normal" eating day! I made homemade (fully from scratch) ramekin pot pies. I made a full recipe and froze what we didn't eat last night for future use. I woke up with full water pressure this morning which was exciting. I had an early work meeting so I'm hoping through the day I can incorporate some bodyweight exercises to get movement in and take a mental break from the tedious work task I have today and tomorrow. Maybe squeeze in a run tomorrow. Even though it's a workday I can always start an hour later than normal and work until my normal time since it's an 8 hour day versus my normal 9 hours. Lunch today is low carb pizza rolls and dinner is bacon chicken thighs in garlic cream sauce with a side salad (possibly cauliflower rice if BF wants). Not fasting but likely able to push through until lunch with only my coffee (Ryze mushroom coffee, Vital Proteins powder (1/2 serving), and 1/4 Atkins Creamy Caramel protein shake as my creamer alternate)
01/19 - Yesterday was not ideal at all. I believe too much salt, but also simply eating too much. My poor tummy hurt by the time I went to bed. I've been so good about not overeating lately and I hadn't had that level of "so full my tummy hurts hours later" in so long I forgot how miserable I used to live. I'm glad it's over. Only managed one set of pushups and squats through the day which was less than ideal, as well. This morning includes wind gusts of 40-50mph so I'll be riding the Peloton instead. It will be my first time so going to take it easy to get back into the workout groove and also learn it. Rain every day except Thursday next week so running is up in the air again. I have a light rain jacket if it's only sprinkling but it isn't sufficient for a downpour. Due to living in the country, I need to take my phone and I have no good way to protect it in that kind of downpour during a long run. My 5k-10k app starts me off with running 10 minutes, walk 1, run 10 minutes, walk 1, and run 10 minutes before cooling down. May need to run on the walking pad or up the Peloton workouts to make up for the running a bit. Leftover soup for lunch (potato leek) and steak with sides for dinner. One of those sides will be a veg so I'll focus on the steak and veg to get back on track.

Yesterday: ✅macros, 1653 cal, 🏋️‍♀️🚫min, 🚶‍♀️🚫8-10k+, 🚫Total ex cal,🔥🚫Ex cal, 💓Z2 🚫min, & NSVs

Freeze 🥶🥶🥶has thrown me off. Was cold to the bone (it’s relative, right?!) 2nd day of LAZY. However, I did get in 20 minutes of 🙆‍♀️and a dumbbell here/there. Today was about my DGS. I don’t need to eat as much on days like today… I did nothing… It was not a “workout” day, so I need to be more mindful of portion control. I can certainly eat too much of a good thing!

Shall have a better physical day today. Will force myself: 🙆‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼. No reason I can’t accomplish these activities inside, as I am set up to do it! Don’t make it tough. Let’s go! 🙌🏻

1/18 ⚖️130.6lbs
Yesterday: ✅macros, 1222 cal, 🏋️‍♀️20 min, 🚶‍♀️🚫2.5k+, Total 30 ex min,🔥180 Ex cal, 💓Z2 20 min.
NSVs:
✅Paid attention to portion control
✅ Followed through on 🙆‍♀️ & 🏋️‍♀️.
✅ ⚖️ 130.6lbs - I opted to weigh because I haven’t been outside/walked, etc for last three days…& I feel like a slug. In my mind, I’m “off plan”, so I wanted to hold myself accountable and hop on the scale. Brief 🏋️‍♀️🙆‍♀️ is ✅ ? Will ⚖️ again tomorrow for more info…. (Confirmation: A bear loses weight while hibernating?) 😂Good to know. Solid information.
✅ 🏋️‍♀️ are scheduled in RED on my calendar!

Today: ☔️🌧️⛈️ but in the 60s… This weather is on the brink of destroying my attitude. 🙆‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼perhaps I’ll venture to the gym at my club - my own little private treasure island. Gosh I miss tennis!

1/19 ⚖️ 132.0 Scale still has a psychological impact on me… 🎢?! Is this water? Muscle? Neither or both? It’s information, silly!

Yesterday: ✅macros, 1177 cal, ✅🏋️‍♀️& 🙆‍♀️🤸🏼, 🚶‍♀️🚫2.1k+, Total ex min 68, 🔥339 Ex cal, 💓Z2 35 min.
For some reason I just started 🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼🙆‍♀️ @home and it clicked! Felt great. 💪🏻 Did not leave the house to walk so another day without steps. 😞 Will bundle up & 🚶‍♀️today!

1/20 DNW. Yesterday: ✅macros, 1200cal, ✅🏋️‍♀️& 🙆‍♀️🤸🏼, 🚶‍♀️10.8k, Total ex min 138, 🔥600 Ex cal, 💓Z2 20 min.
What a difference the weather makes! Sunny skies, 46° very windy & gorgeous. Perfect day for 4.2mi power walk. Conquered 🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼🙆‍♀️ early in the morning, so I felt great all day!
Today: Try same 🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼🙆‍♀️🚶‍♀️as yesterday but much colder today, ☀️w/ no wind. Doing well with portions. Will be a terrific day. Still missing tennis.

Reflections: Many want/need variety with meals - I don’t. I’m lucky. Quite comfortable with basically the same foods day-to-day. This was an evolution… has not always been true for me. Easy on my digestion. Makes daily decisions & grocery shopping effortless. Giving up sugar and processed foods the BEST decision of my life. Well on my way with food as fuel… No alcohol since NYE. Can count on one hand the number of times since July. Game-changer. No way I feel deprived. I actually feel free. Onward!

Yesterday: ✅macros, 1680cal, ✅🏋️‍♀️& 🙆‍♀️🤸🏼, 🚶‍♀️5.2k, Total ex min 84, 🔥258 Ex cal, 💓Z2 38 min.
Too cold for me again. Only 1.0 mile afternoon power walk. (I underestimated how cold it was, with wind chill - did not dress correctly, so just came home)
✅🤸🏼🙆‍♀️ enjoyed nice functional workout. Cozy on couch ALL DAY watching TV!!!! (This rarely happens-a real treat yesterday!)
Today: 🎾🤸🏼🚶‍♀️

1/22 Yesterday: ✅macros, 1655cal, ✅🏋️‍♀️& 🙆‍♀️🤸🏼, 🚶‍♀️3.2k, Total ex min 34, 🔥100 Ex cal, 💓Z2 18 min.
Not pleased with my downward activity trends… Even my watch reminded me….

I had planned to hit the 🎾ball machine in the afternoon, so did not walk early, but when I walked out of the door for 🎾, I turned around because it was simply too darn cold. Such a lightweight. Never realized how much my energy /commitment is based on feel-good weather…. Ate too many calories - didn’t burn 🔥 enough. Too much fuel! 😂 Disappointed in my sluggishness.

🙆‍♀️🎾this morn. 🤸🏼later. (Temp up & will rain through Sat starting tonight) Ugh. Will come up with a rain plan! (Looks like I’ll be five days at the club this week!)

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 remained @ 128-132lbs through the end of 2020. Five years!

🎢 Roller Coaster Begins….

2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140 lbs.

📣#bestshapeofmylife 📣

The yo-yo is exhausting & unhealthy. Takes up way too much brain space.

I learned MY choices created an emotional 🎢 roller coaster with yo-yo weight and fitness. My forever goal is to maintain approx. 130lbs and IN SHAPE. Pretty clear 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 lose 15lbs easy in 8 weeks up to 2020ish … This is absolutely not true anymore!

While active with 🚶‍♀️& 🎾 it’s clear a ST routine is absent. Time to incorporate ST 🏋️‍♀️ as my TRUE focus.

Thankful for the Peloton! I realized last minute I had an 8am meeting for work and couldn't go on a run but I did have time to strap on my shoes, hop on the bike, and knock out a 20 minute workout before hopping on my computer

Even better, I can stretch next to my desk while still seeing my screen so that way I'll be ready to hop in the shower as soon as this meeting is over to make my next meeting at 930! This new office setup thing is really nice that I have a bit more flexibility in this sense.

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

SW RND 248: 135.6 (end of last round).

1/17: 136.2. Did a 5 mile run, walked twice, and did good on calories. Right now, I'm just going to trust the process because I know I am doing everything 'right'.

1/18: 135.1. Calories were good, went for a walk but no run.

1/19: 133.8. calories were under, did a 5 mile run. It's nice to be rewarded for my efforts with a good number on the scale.

1/20: 137.1. Night out with friends and a few drinks. Oh well.

1/21: 137.1. period started yesterday, which might be causing some water retention. Food hasn't been the greatest. I have a 10k race in a couple of hours. It's my first race and I am super nervous, but it should be fun.

1/22: 135.5. Good day yesterday. 10k race went great. Food was good. Still (hopefully) holding onto some PMS bloat, which should come off soon.

Corina, looking to eat healthier, sleep better, and move my body a little. Weight loss is a bonus.

1/17 170.6 ok, maybe my scales needs new batteries. Or maybe I'm dehydrated. Or both. Ate well yesterday. No exercise. Finally got out of the house for some fresh air and sunshine. Slept ok.
1/18. 170.6 ate well. No exercise but ran lots of errands, so at least some movement and some sunshine. Slept long and well. I looked back over some weight averaging, and I've been losing an average of 2 pounds a month for the last 5 months. I guess thats pretty good for this stage of the game.
1/19 172 i think yesterday's pasta lunch is showing. Didn't exercise but got out and shopped. Slept so well. Loving my bed these days.
1/20 171.6 so the pasta lunch may be gone, but yesterday's donut holes are showing instead. Ate 85% healthy yesterday. Barely moved, it was so cold. Cold again today. 🤧 not sure we're breaking records, but they're digging them out to compare. Slept 4 good hours. Is this a theme today? Seems lots of us had short nights.
1/21. 171 ate 100% healthy, but baked late. No exercise. Did I really sleep that long?

1/22. 172.6 ? Ate healthy, under calories. No exercise. Another good night.

Nothing to report. 😊 I hope everyone in the frigid zone is warm and safe.

1/18 - 191.8
I did reasonably well yesterday, although I ate more bread than intended. Day by day. Off to get a little exercise shoveling the driveway.

1/19 - 192.4
Phooey. No idea why and I’m not going to worry about it. Just keep on with calories control, more protein, less bread.

1/20 - 191.6
It’s 3F this morning, feels like -15F. Lovely. I’m off in a bit to a friend’s house to knit in company for a couple of hours. I’m sure there will be snacks, but I’ll try to just keep my hands busy. Have a lovely Saturday, friends!

1/21 - 191.6
It’s a bright, sunny morning and 3F. But it’s supposed to warm up this week, so I’m looking forward to walks! Have a lovely Sunday!

1/22 - 192.6
Whaaaaa? Water. Oh, well, just plugging away. At least it’s a bit warmer—all the way up to 24F! 😊

@lolakinks Focus on your dissertation. You have deadlines to meet and committee members to please, and it’s on a finite time frame. Try to eat protein and minimize junk—you’ll feel better and therefore write better. Try to get some walking exercise—that also helps. When I was writing my dissertation (way back when!) I took 10 minute walking breaks every hour. Even just walking around the house or wherever you are helps, especially if you unplug so your subconscious can regroup and process. I’ve been a full-time writer for the past 25 years and when I’m working, I follow a similar routine—I set an interval timer to write for 45 minutes, then get up and walk for 15. I thought when I started this 15 years ago that it would disrupt my train of thought, but in fact it helps. Maybe something like that would help you do the work and not worry too much about food (or snack too much)? Anyway, good luck with your writing and your committee! What’s your field?

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 248 (my 178th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, as always, so grateful.
Goals for this round to, to lose 1.5 pounds, stay strong look forward to next holiday – s week with the family in this country with a heated indoor swimming pool on site which we plan on using every day, that’s 4 weeks away so I’d ideally like to lose 5 pounds, that is doable if I am sensible and don’t binge eat. Good luck everyone for a successful round.

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, it’s taken me 75 rounds to achieve target of 130 = back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

SW RND 248
1/17 142.6 – 6.96 miles walked yesterday, two thirds of exercise calories eaten back.
1/18 141.4 – 9.49 miles walked, no exercise calories eaten back.
1/19 DNW or track ☹
1/20 144 – 9.49 miles walked yesterday, I have to admit that I found some left over Christmas chocolate and I had a major 2 day binge, didn’t weigh yesterday. Got myself together this morning and will try again!
1/21 143.6 – 10.9 miles walked; two thirds of exercise calories eaten back. It feels better to be back under control. Today we travel 2 hours each way to celebrate DD’s 40th birthday, how did that happen!! Don’t feel that much older than 40 myself, so really don’t feel like the mother of a 40-year-old! It's for brunch and I know will be very carb heavy, I'm trying to plan in advance.
1/22 144 – no structured walking due to the celebrations and sitting in the car, but wonderful to be with DD, DS & their respective families.
