Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 248

lolakinks · January 25

Hi all, it’s my third round. I’m going slow but at least it’s going down. I’m 34 years old and 164 cm (5’ 4.5”). The highest weight I saw on scale was 105.9 kg. I started on December 30, 2023 with 104.7 kg. I aim to lose 30 kg probably in 2 years, realistically. I just try to eat more vegetables, decrease carbs, increase protein, calorie deficit and go to the gym 3 times a week. I’m not very strict (I hate strict diets) I sometimes eat pizza and drink beer however I still try to be in my calorie limit. I am ok with losing it slowly but eating everything. I hope I can be consistent and this can be my lifestyle.

OSW: 104.7 kg
UGW: 75 kg
RSW:103.6 kg
RGW: 102.8 kg

1/17 - 103.6 kg
1/18 - 103.6 kg
1/19 - 104.2 kg (no calorie deficit yesterday)
1/20 - 104 kg (I overate and drank, losing my motivation)
1/21 - 104.1 kg
I stopped logging my food, because I don’t make right choices anymore and tbh I’m a bit tired and stressed. I’m also not doing great on my PhD dissertation that affected me a lot. I have a deadline tomorrow for my draft for my monthly meeting with my supervisors. Maybe after this I will focus more on food. But still thinking about food all day and everyday is so frustrating. I don’t wanna think and calculate everything I eat. I hope at some point I start to do it without thinking about it. I know it’s a process and I’m trying to be patient but it’s so hard.
1/22 - 104.2 kg
1/23 -
1/24 - 104.6 kg
I came back where I started, it’s so easy to gain but so hard to lose. My partner eats almost same (a bit more) and loses more, even though he’s way more thinner than me, but my body doesn’t work that way. When I said to him I gain it all, he couldn’t believe and said but you didn’t eat much. I don’t know maybe some of it water, I’m also on my period now (third day).
1/25 - 104.1 kg
Ok, it makes more sense now. It was just water weight I guess…

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.

1/23: 135.6. I'm still trusting the process, all though I'm getting a bit frustrated again. But I'm just taking it one day at a time. Food was good, exercising was good with a walk and a 3 mile run.

1/24: 133.5. Yay!!! Food was under my goal, went for a 3 mile run.

1/25: 132.1. I'm so excited, this is a new low weight for me. I'm glad I trusted the process and kept with it. I would be so thrilled if I stayed mostly in the 132-133 range for the next round. No run yesterday but went for a walk and food was under.

1/17 - 192.2
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! 😊

1/23 - 192.6
I went out for lunch with a friend and instead of the salad I’d planned on had a breakfast combo—eggs, bacon, French toast. I didn’t eat any dinner, just an orange early evening, so I was barely over calories, but the bacon was very salty and I was a bit stuffed. We need to go somewhere other than this diner we love. Next week….

1/24 - 191.6
Good. Water gain is finally gone.

1/25 - 191.6
The sidewalks have finally melted, so I’m off for a walk in a few minutes. They were really slick yesterday, with rain on top of ice, and I almost fell a couple of times going for the mail. I’m keen for Spring! 🌷🌷🌷

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

Previous Rounds

My Round 1 sw= 175.6 ew=174.8
My Round 2 sw= 175.4 ew= 173.2
My Round 3 sw= 172.6 ew = didn't weigh
My Round 4 sw= 177.8 ew= 174
My Round 5 sw= 174.8 ew= 174.8
My Round 6 sw= 175. ew= 178
My Round 7 sw= 176.4 ew=172.2

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.
1/23 173.5. Earned this. Was hungry all day yesterday, so I ate. Tried to keep it reasonably healthy. Slept well for 5 hours. I was expecting that, too, since I slept so long the 2 previous nights. No exercise, but looks like it may be warm enough for a short walk today.
1/24. 174.2 more of Monday's overeating. Yesterday was better. Just 50 calories over, today will be better. By the time it got warm Yesterday it was raining, so no exercise. Very good sleep.

1/25. 173.4. Good. On the way back down. Ate over calories again cause I had seconds of kale salad. I definitely forgive myself. Didn't walk, but shopped, so got a little exercise. Slept very well.

01/25 - 151.6 - Whoohoo!! 152 has been such a hard number to break past. Today is a normal eating day and we have pizza calzones on the menu for tonight. Going to try to be sensible about that and offset it through the day. Still no TOM and I'm feeling quite muscular sore from the bike and strength workout so I'm shocked I'm not holding on to more water. I'll likely still be up tomorrow on the scale, but I understand and know why. Knee is still a little painful so I decided to hop on the Peloton again this morning rather than try to run (if something happened on the run, I'd be stranded. On the bike, I'm at least home, warm and safe). It's feeling better today than it did yesterday so I'm hoping for a chance to run tomorrow. Will take it easy, though, and if not 100% I'll stick to the bike.

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.

01/22 - 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.
01/23 - Fast food weight dropped off! No TOM but glad to see a drop despite feeling a tad bloated with that on the horizon. No run, as planned, since storms keep forming over and around us - don't want to risk being outside in the rain if there's potential for a storm/lightning (which there is). Instead, I rode Peloton for a 30 minute advanced beginners workout (moving up!) and it was a challenge but in a good way - I had to use the same mental tricks I use during runs to keep going but I had the added bonus of the coach to help guide me through. Normal eating day so focus is on portion control and avoid snacking. I won against a snack attack yesterday: I wasn't actually hungry and the water I had been sipping on wasn't improving the feeling. After sitting with the feeling and analyzing it, I realized I was likely trying to use food as a way to procrastinate work since I was working on a tedious document. It was hard to ignore it, but knowing the reasoning gave me a bit more resolve and got me through to a delicious dinner.
01/24 - I'm alright with this, especially after a "normal" eating day. I was about 110 net carbs for the day so not terrible compared my old normal way of eating. My knee, in the region of the meniscus, was causing absolutely horrible dull aching pain through the night and into this morning. Despite it not raining, I chose to forego running and did a strength workout and 15 minute stretch instead. I also took Smoke on a longer walk while BF took Harley on his walk. It's feeling better - still a dull ache, but far less intense. I can forget about it if I'm sufficiently distracted unlike last night when the pain was overwhelming. It felt like the horrid growing pains I used to have as a kid that would keep me awake all night. Anyway, glad the worst seems to be over. I'm tentatively planning a run tomorrow depending on how this knee feels through today and tonight. Low Carb today so should be good!

01/23 -185.2- (Trend weight 183.0)

01/24 -184.6- (Trend weight 183.3) It’s nice to see a drop this morning. I went over my food logs carefully last night. I have been over in sodium pretty consistently. That is a no-no for my heart condition. I also have slacked a little bit on the exercise on many days. I am trying to tweak what TIMES I eat which is pretty confusing to me. I think I am also eating too much bread. Just because it is low calorie and low carb bread doesn’t mean it can be a free-for-all. I have found that I’ve gotten pretty lazy about cooking these past couple of months. I am trying to rely more on sandwiches or frozen meals that contain other starches and preservatives I don’t need. I’ve got to get my inner Julia going and start using up the ungodly amount of food I have in my freezers and pantries. Yes, both those words are plural! I hope to keep dropping a little everyday as we head toward the end of this challenge.

01/25 -185.2- (Trend weight 183.7) Yesterday was one of the planned higher calorie and carb days on the zig-zag plan. In addition, today is no TMI x 2 so a jump up is disappointing but not surprising. Today I have scheduled one of the extra low calorie days. I may try to weigh in tomorrow (I usually don’t on Fridays due to my Friday school schedule for DGS.) If so, it will probably be a very late weigh-in unless they cancel schools again tomorrow. I hate to miss the final challenge weigh-in. Anyway, my cat is making me feel very pudgy. She has began to knead my stomach again before laying down on my lap. That is actually as clear an indicator to me as my scale. Like a human lie-detector. Kinda….Sorta….. I may have a long way to go in the stomach area of weight loss, if truth be told.

01/26 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

SW RND 248 133.5
1/17 133.0 I’m pleased with this but expect it to go up in the next day or two. I wanted something with crunch and ate 5 saltines with butter. Back “on the wagon” but no idea what is the snack/supper they are serving at bingo tonight.
1/18 134.5 I was weak. Did great with sub sandwich - pulled all of the soft white bread out and used the crusts to make my sandwich, added onion, tomato and lettuce. I should have stopped there but ate 2 bakery cookies. I’m okay with this though. I should be able to get rid of that quickly.
1/19 134.0 Boing, boing, boing. I’m good with this. Keeping everything under control.
1/20 134.0 OMAD was later than I like (after 5) due to HOA workshop DH was conducting. Shedding may take longer than when we ate earlier. It is what it is. In 10 days I’ll be going on a 6 day quilt retreat. No meals provided. The ladies I’m going with try to eat low carb too and one husband will be playing “Uber Eats” for us.
1/21 134.0 Had a scratchy throat last evening and this morning I seem to have lost my voice. Sucking on zinc drops (SF) so my coffee tastes awful.
1/22 134.5 I feel as if I’ve been run over by a truck. How did my weight go up when I only had about 5 ounces of chicken and a small side salad? Ugh! Coffee still tastes awful.
1/23 134.0 Well, I should have taken my own advice and waited a day or two. I haven’t been sick in so long and I felt so miserable that I wanted a grilled cheese and cream of tomato soup. My ultimate comfort food. And I gave in. My DH, who at one time yesterday said I didn’t feel THAT bad, went to the store and bought bread and 2 cans of Campbell’s tomato soup. Today I feel much better. No aching skin and joints so far.
1/24 134.5. Feeling somewhat better. Drainage making me cough. Cabin fever so we are going to lun-ner with friends. An Italian place that’s extremely popular - need a reservation at 2:30 in the afternoon. I plan to get eggplant Parmesan with no pasta.
1/25 133.5 My eggplant was good. I could only eat half. I would describe it as eggplant lasagna rather than Parmesan. No pasta, layered with ricotta and I asked for veg instead of pasta. UGH I forgot about our appointment with the retina specialist at 8:45 - she’s an hour across town.

I was reading posts before we headed over to doctor, then in her waiting area twice, and finally finished just now. Each time I had to stop, the app went to the lat post and I had to figure out where I had left off. 🤦‍♀️

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 lbs 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.

1/22 : 164.5 lbs

1/23 : 163.8 lbs

1/24 : 163.1 lbs

SW RND 248 236.2
1/17 233 / Yesterday wasn't everything that I was hoping for it to be thanks to some unexpected news at night, but I stayed the course and didn't eat my feelings and it paid off on the scale.
1/18 231.4 / Been about a month since I've been at this weight. Woo hoo. Back at indoor soccer tonight.
1/19 233.2 / Soccer game was fun last night but we were terrible. Got some running around in an otherwise low step day. Today has been good - I am working from home so I got to use my lunch break to ride the Peloton. Love that.
1/20 232.2 / Ended up doing two rides yesterday and I treated myself to a bubble bath after some cleaning. Felt great to pamper myself.
1/21 236 / Yesterday was a relaxing day. We also ate too much take-out... day just sorta ended up that way. Weekends haven't been as disciplined as week days which slows my progress.
1/22 233 / Got a one hour ride in on the Peloton before watching my Bills suffer a crushing defeat. Cheering for the Lions now! Working from home today so I was able to ride the Peloton before work.. love that!
1/23 232.2 / Got on the Peloton again tonight. I feel like it's been a long while since I've been on three days in a row. Feels really good.
1/24 230.2 / I had my dinner out with friends tonight and we share a bunch of food. Didn't track. Didn't overeat going in but the meal was bigger than usual. A nice visit.
1/25 232.8 / Busy day today. Ending the night with salad, water, and my soccer game.

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

(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 it 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. At the halfway point of this round, it will be a mini-miracle if I achieve that.
(Day 46) 01/22 ✴ 218.2 lb. ~ So, that streak ended quickly. Lazy day. That’s it for today.

🙂What I'm thinking...

(Day 47) 01/23 ✴ 216 lb. ~ A bit of a move on the scale finally. Yes! Now to continue the pattern. I may have an aversion to the word ‘exercise’, so I am calling it intentional movement. My intentional movement (IM) was good today, under calories but poor choice of foods and water consumption just at minimum. Focus!
(Day 48) 01/24 ✴ 217 lb. ~ This back-and-forth can be frustrating. It’s so easy for me to blame it on the last meal or the last day even though I know change doesn’t happen that fast. I need to focus on the overall change for each round. Oh! NSV! I dropped a pant size. The jeans are tight, but they button and zip. Win! So today I met my goals, another win.
We are having our 1st thunder and lightning of 2024 with tonight's rainstorm. I love thunder, it reminds me of sitting on the porch with the family sipping hot drinks just talking and talking...Such good memories of my parents and brother and sister we have lost. It makes me smile and cherish the family we still have.
(Day 49) 01/25 ✴ 217.5 lb. ~ Pretty good day. Finally got the TNCC out of the way. Now just 2 more recerts in the next two months. Yea! Then I am good for 2 years on that. I met my goals except the IM and feel exhausted, ready for bed at 8 pm. I think I will just head in so I can do my stretches and settle. 5 am comes early. Thank you all for being there to vent to.
(Day 50) 01/26 ✴ ??? lb. ~

[/Spoiler]
Goals this Round:

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

Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 248
