Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 250

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 250 (my 180th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, as always, so grateful.
Goals for this round; not going to set any numbers as I only self-sabotage when it looks like I’m getting there! So, again to weigh less at the end than the start and an NSV to keep resting heart rate under 50 (currently 49, but the norm for me used to be around 46-47), also no binge eating. For a last 7 days we are away with all the family, DS, DD, spouses, & DGC, so will be hard, but will endeavour to do my best. Have the use of an indoor swimming pool daily, sports court and local walks, so will utilise to best of my ability.
Good luck everyone for a successful round.SpoilerAchieved 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.

2/5 141.6 – 8.7 miles walked, 70% of exercise calories eaten back. I should have known it would go up for the final day lol!!, that’s the weight loss game for you !! 😊, Still happy with that number, 2 pounds lost. Managed to turn myself around (yet again!) from binging and gaining. Am almost hesitant to share that I feel better in myself as so often that opens me up to self-sabotage yet again; I want to stick with the process this time, I must keep this in mind. Two NSVs at the end of this round; finally, my resting heart rate has come down to below 50 bpm, it had crept up to mid 50s, I know that this is linked with the quality of food consumed as well as the number on the scale, yesterday it was back to 49 again, I need to continue to work to get it back to my norm. Also, I had started again with a daily series of toning exercises specifically targeting stomach, midriff & backfat; my size 12 jeans are now feeling quite baggy, I’m tempted to get my size 10s out again which were my normal wear when I am at high 130s weight. I’ve always kept the larger size for times such as this! On to the new round.

Hi, Kelly here- 5'11" 56 yrs.
RND 248 End Weight-207.0
RND 249 End Weight-205.7
Goal this round is to lose 2 pounds and end up around 203.7
SW RND 250
2/6- 207.7 Right here is where fluid and medication related changes make me shirk the scale. I even skipped posting on this day and had to make myself go back in and put the darn weight into the graph. I haven't been eating anything I shouldn't, I weighed and re-weighed and took perfectly good batteries out of the scale and replaced them with newer perfectly good batteries. It just makes you feel defeated.
2/7- 206.6 A pound seems like a lot to lose overnight according to my bff but considering I jumped up two pounds the day before, I will take it. Fluid makes it hard to see what my actual progress is, and I do have better fitting clothing.

Round 250
January February 6 – 15, 2024
62 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 MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126
Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.
History:SpoilerHarry 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 two parents, 87(mother), 85(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. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse (father has since passed and I am DPOA, Personal representative AKA executor, trustee, and oversee the majority of my mother’s care). 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: 125.8
Day/Weight/Comment
2/6 – 125.6 Took the morning off from walking yesterday. Tracked well. Convinced DH to go do a single lap around the golf course after dinner, around 1.67 miles. It was nice.
2/7 – 125.8 Totally misbehaved yesterday. Wiped out a number of “diet” ice cream treats. Tracked until mid day, but then chose to not spend the time tracking a complex new recipe at dinner (a healthy one mind you – just lots of ingredients)
2/8 – 126.0 Ate well yesterday, tracked and hit targets, and walked 5 miles. For now, not concerned about the number.

/food logged; walked outside…Brrrr/
So, here I am crawling back with my tail between my legs hoping you will allow me to join you all again. (my self esteem isn’t quite this bad) 😊
In my experience with an endeavor like this, or any other, I have always had a slow start. It seems hopeless. Then at some point, if I can stick to it and put a few good days in a row, I will see real progress. After that I am good to go.
I am planning an active 2024, so this needs to work.
2/7: 226.4
/food logged; very little exercise/
I am doing a good job of shedding water these last two days.

/logged it all; good exercise/
Logging food intake is definitely important to me. I stayed under my goal yesterday because I was watching. Unchecked, I would have found all kinds of things to shove into my cake hole. The past couple days I have felt hunger pangs (I know this is a ridiculous statement because I have no idea what real hunger is.) Whatever it is, in the past year I have rewarded the feeling with immediate snacking, and usually not clean snacks. Thus, logging. I have to find a way to enjoy the pangs.
Exercise yesterday was a group exercise class. I am one of the younger ones. My ego says “stay out of there, that class is for old people.” My body says “this class hurts (so good), keep coming back here.”

Spent a couple of hrs yesterday reviewing MFP stats & goals. Determined my personal maintenance kcals is approx 1400 (NOT 1600) as I had determined. Having seven+ months of tracking / hard data is invaluable. I have also been MUCH less active over the past 4-5 weeks (weather). Love having this data and so, I can & will reset.
DH is my witness… He is dumbfounded by how easy it is for me to gain vs. how hard it is for me to lose… He sees nutrition, discipline, movement, & work-outs … I’m glad he is here to reinforce & encourage me. We both believe I am a 💯scientific anomaly. 😁Embracing it!!! Onward!
NSV: 209 days of tracking. 209 days of leaning in FOR my health, fitness and longevity.
2/7 ⚖️131.6
Yesterday I did it all! 💥🙌🏻
✅🙆♀️🏋️♀️🤸🏼🚶♀️🎾💦🥩macros & kcals! Loved me some 💦all day long. Today: Activity & meals planned. 🤸🏼🏋️♀️ early, then 🎾. Neighborhood croquet match this afternoon. 😎— will be a fun/full day!
NSV: Food is fuel. Not reward.
2/8⚖️ 131.5
Almost ALL…. barely missed steps! (7.5k) Also missed Z2 💗goal. Need more minutes in Z2.
✅🙆♀️🏋️♀️🤸🏼🎾💦🥩macros & kcals! New macros, etc going well. First time in a good long while I pre-plugged in food purposefully to hit target. Needed 129g of protein-not an easy task! Grass-fed whey protein isolate did the trick.
Today: Rest day? May go for power walk/jog …. Let’s see how I feel later. Two pretty intense days.
???? Left a message to book my InBody scan on 2/22. Two weeks to “make a difference”…. Haven’t yet found the pre-natural drive to ST 🏋️♀️…. Only “feel” accomplished AFTER doing it. I sure hope I begin to soon neutralize the thought of it vs. dreading. Perhaps 🏋️♀️will just always be “necessary drudgery”…. similar to emptying the dishwasher.
NSV?: cant hit Z2 💗 now by only power-walking. I now need to JOG to increase my HR to Z2. While good for cardiovascular…. I really don’t enjoy jogging … Will try again to increase 💗somehow without jogging!
(I’m interested in “burning fat”… For those unfamiliar with heart rate zones please research because it’s very interesting!)

F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean Ketovore 🥩. Track macros, kcals, all exercise and NSVs. HW 172lbs in 2010.
I have ALWAYS been on a “diet” since high school. I have never been comfortable with my body - no matter my weight.
Pre- college: 125-130lbs
College- 160lbs one year… graduated @130lbs.
1990 (Age 32) - Avg. 135 lbs
2000 (Age 42) - Avg 145 lbs
2010 (Age 52) HW 172 lbs in 2010. 130 end of 2014.
2020 (Age 62) 130-135lbs
7/2023 (Age 64) 145lbs
1/2024 (Age 65) 130lbs
UGW = 129-130lbs ?
⬆️SMM: 100lbs +
Initial BF% : 22%
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. Always self-conscious.
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 somewhat healthy BUT portion control is/was a huge issue. Started tracking again 7/15/23. Joined “Just give me 10 days” R231 in beginning of 8/2023. Here we are @ 130 determined to…. be in the
📣#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 & IN SHAPE. Pretty clear that once I reached a goal weight I would then relax/ drift backwards.
As I age it becomes much, MUCH more difficult to lose weight. I could lose 15lbs easy in 8 weeks up to 2022 ish … 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.

SW RND 250: 132.3
2/6: 132.7. Under calories, but not quality food. I really need to eat better. Walk, but no run. A meh day, overall.
2/7: 132.8. no exercise at all. I've been extremely exhausted the last few days. I'm wondering if Seasonal Depression has slapped me I'm the face. I'm struggling right now.
2/8: 133.0. I ate a bit extra, hoping a little diet break will help me feel better physically. Yesterday wasnt as bad, but still not feeling great

2/6. 176 just a little more than where I started 90 days ago. That last 10 really is hard! Lol. I'll make it eventually. Right now, a healthy life is more important. I just bought chamomile tea and Tylenol pm for next time I can't sleep. Be prepared!
Ate well yesterday. No exercise. Need more sleep.
2/7. 175.8 felt better, ate fair, walked, took a Tylenol pm and 😴 slept 💤
2/8. 173.8 ate well, no formal exercise, went to the mall and window shopped a couple of hours. Slept well.

SW RND 250 - 133.8lbs
GW RND 250 - 132.8lbs
2/6 - 133.8. Today's activity is strength training and dog walk.
2/7 - 132.8. That's a nice little re-start Yesterday I walked the dogs and did a 20-minute lower body strength class and 10-minute core. Sounds short but it was *enough*! Today will be a Peloton ride, dog walk, and hopefully some upper body strength training if I can find the time. This semester is hard for the dogs and me - husband and I used to take turns walking the dogs but he's been going to campus every morning. Tuesday/Wednesday he teaches in the mornings but he has other stuff to take care of early in the day the other mornings I guess. I hate when the dog walks fall on me every day when there are other areas of exercise I'd like to prioritize. Ah well, only 3 months left in the semester I guess.
2/8 - 132.6. Yesterday I just did the dog walk and the Peloton ride. Today is a dog walk and strength training. I'm getting a new-to-me Garmin watch today that will probably motivate me!

These adjustments should also help with our food/beverage budget🤔** Bonus!! **

2/8-169-Finally. Getting back to yoga today. With all of the wind and rain, there hasn’t been any walking. Did get the horse in the arena where I board, go the dirt off of him and saddled him up and rode him. Planted broccoli and they cam up so fast with the moisture dome, they were way to leggy and I had to start over. Started a new batch and put them outdoors as soon as they sprouted and they about floated away in the rain…..at least they are not too tall.7 -

I’m not off to a great start this round—snacked last night—but today is a new day. I went out for Chinese yesterday with my Monday lunch friend, stuck to stir fry, and didn’t eat dinner, but…. Anyway, I’ll do better today.
2/07 - 193.2
I ate very responsibly yesterday until about 8 p.m., when I had a bowl of ice cream. I was hungry, but should have eaten something healthy instead. Still, my calories were only slightly over my goal. Day by day.
2/08 - 193.8
Ugh. I considered lying about it, but what’s the point of that? And how did I get here? Food, I know, but I’ve put (back) on a shocking 15 pounds since this time last year. And yes, I snacked last night, ice cream and triscuits with cheese. I probably double my calories. What has happened to me mentally/emotionally to make me/let me do this to myself? Maybe if I can figure that out I can get rid of these 15 pounds and then more. I know the mechanics of weight loss, so at this point it’s clearly a mental/emotional game for me. I feel just awful. No need for hugs—a kick in the pants would probably help more.

It's been a while since I've been here, but decided to focus on weight loss again and this has always been a helpful tool for me. Lost 30 pounds last spring. then gained a few of those back. Have kept up my daily walks, but need to concentrate on nutrition.

The past couple days I have felt hunger pangs (I know this is a ridiculous statement because I have no idea what real hunger is.) Whatever it is, in the past year I have rewarded the feeling with immediate snacking, and usually not clean snacks.
“Kuchisabishii” is a uniquely Japanese word that literally means “lonely mouth” or “longing to have or put something in one's mouth.”

02/06 -183.0- (Trend weight 183.2)
02/07 -181.0- (Trend weight 183.2) Still flushing out that sodium/fluid retention and extra weight from that very noodl-y homemade chicken noodle soup. I’m glad to see it’s not sticking around for too long. My handymen are back in full swing. I’m excited but I also know it will tie up all my free time and make exercising very hard since there will be no privacy. There will also be furniture from the bedroom stuck in the livingroom, dining area and entry mud area for months so I will have a serious lack of space. Perhaps I can break down my embarrassment barriers and use the exercise bike in their presence. I’ll think on that.
02/08 -178.2- (Trend weight 182.7) I’m getting back in there and taking what is Rightfully Mine, 170’s. LOL. I guess what I’m really doing is just trying to make an honest woman out of myself since my colorful scratch off list was still saying I’d conquered the 180’s. The last two days I have done the lower calorie & carb days of my zig-zag. My endocrinologist appointment (for diabetes) is Monday and I really need to show a weight loss and a glucose improvement. Funny how hard I will work for a Doctor but not always for myself. Hmmmm… Just a little self-analysis. Anyway, I didn’t want the doctor to measure my noodle soup I’ve been eating. I wanted him to measure all my hard work since last fall. I still have a couple more days until the appointment. Maybe I can get it even better although the exercise space is getting more and more cramped. Today they are bringing the bedroom furniture into the very narrow livingroom. Things are about to get tough.

02/06 - 151.4
02/07 - 151.8
02/08 - 150.8 - I had a really good low carb day yesterday and the scale reflects that. I've been having some issues with bloating and discomfort in the lower abdominal area, especially on low carb days. The chia pudding and focusing on getting enough fiber in general seems to have helped a bit. Also reducing sugar alcohols by avoiding the processed snacks between meals. Not sure which helped more, but I'm happy to have something to improve it and it seems it helped me push the scale down further, too. Stacked an upper body, glutes&legs, and core workout from Peloton today, 10 minutes each. Finished off with a long 45 minute walk with BF and the dogs since we both had a little flexibility on time with work this morning and it's so beautiful out now the wind has moved on. I've pre-logged my meals for the day and I'm sitting at 105g net carbs. I'll take it! It is still a vast improvement from what I was eating before the carb cycling. BF doesn't want to do full keto/low carb so we will continue the cycling while I focus on staying under 150 on normal days but focusing on getting at or below 100g net whenever possible. I'll start building our meal plan for next week tonight after work and finish it up tomorrow, likely while I wait for the dogs at the groomers. I'm thinking I'll see if BF wants to go get sushi for lunch after our FD CPR training Saturday and then go shopping after to get it knocked out early. We're planning, weather permitting, to take the dogs on the river trail again this Sunday before we head out to the Superbowl Party.

Previous Day's CommentsSpoiler02/06 - I thought I had posted yesterday but then I realized I had thought about it but didn't actually do it! I ate something that didn't agree with me on Sunday so I ended on a high weight due to the bloating and such as my body worked through that. Glad to be back down now and hoping to see this trend downward. Good low carb day yesterday with a Peloton ride followed by a non-stop meeting from 730am to 530pm. Oof! Another lower-impact/easier ride today due to yesterday's being so intense I got dizzy and thought I'd pass out on the bike. Tomorrow is a run so I don't want to overdo it. Today's foods are quite carby. I'm trying out a chia seed pudding for the first time and I used a banana (they need to get eaten) and that really increased my carbs for the day already. It was delicious and I have hopes I can make a keto-friendlier chia pudding without issue that's equally as delicious. BF wants to try a tortilla recipe for lunch but I think he'll use our regular tortillas before they go bad. Dinner is burritos but again, regular tortilla. All meals planned for this week, including the Superbowl party (wings - just need to avoid all the other carby snacks that are inevitably there since we'll be on a low carb day). Feeling fairly good about things
02/07 - I'm rather happy with this despite the increased carbs. I ended up with 105g net carbs for the day, so not terrible considering how "high" each meal seemed when making/eating it. BF sent me something about 15 days of full keto and asked about trying to see if it'll work (one of our Fire Department friends does low carb but not strict keto and raves about it so I think it made him want to dive deeper). I'll have to talk to him later about it - Sunday is Low Carb for us and if we stick through the Superbowl Party successfully, he may be willing to go right into the 2 weeks to see how we feel. I haven't made the meal plan for next week yet but will need to soon so I'll discuss with him today. I'm on earlier since I'm doing an outdoor run and waiting on the sun to come up enough I can see before I head out. It sounds windy (like the 25-50mph gusts) but the weather app says its 10mph. Hopefully it won't be too bad. If the weather cooperates, I'm hoping for a bit more than 30 minutes (35 minutes?) run to start pushing back into 5k territory so I can then increase mileage from there.
