quiltingjaine · July 12

Round 266
July 15 - 24, 2024

Please join us starting on 7/15 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 266.

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

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 266 (my 196th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Goals for this round; (same as last round & hoping committed to achieve them this time!!)
• First and foremost, no feeding frenzies
• to get to/stay under 139 pounds,
• to lose!
I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.

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.
End of round 69 134.2 lbs 22.2.18 to 03.03.19

@LadySicburn - Welcome to a very friendly, supportive group, it's understandable that you feel so apprehensive about sharing private details, but I feel sure that you will soon feel comfortable with us. It is lovely to meet you.

Hi everyone! I’m 34 years old and 164 cm (5’ 4,5”). I have a very sedentary life, since I am a PhD researcher. I work mostly from home.

I aim to take 1600 calories a day and reach my macro goals (40% carbs 40% fat 20% protein). I am not crazy strict, but I don’t wanna be too loose and off the track either.

SW: 105 kg (20 June)
UGW: 70 kg

RND 264 SW: 104.4 kg
RND 264 EW: 103.6 kg

RND 265 SW: 103.1 kg
RND 265 EW: 102.8 kg

RND 266 SW: 102.9 kg
RND 266 GW: 101.8 kg

7/15 - 102.9 kg
Yesterday was a “cheat day”. My partner and I had friends over, we watched Euro finals. I ate great foods, no regrets. I still controlled myself, didn’t binge. I listened to my body, I ate what I really wanted. For example I didn’t eat much crisps and fries, just a few, but I ate two small squares of a cake I baked (low fat). I didn’t have any drinks (on antibiotics). But we ordered veggie burgers, which was very high in calories and fat. I rarely order though… I am just sad a bit because I was 102.3 in the middle of last round. And it increased without an obvious reason in that round. I hope I will see 101s this round!

Rnd 266 End Weight 173.8

7/15- 173.8. So if I have to pick my coin for this round I’m going to be a dime piece!!! Why not be a ten out of ten!!!
Mud run was fantastic fun! Absolutely inspiring to be with hundreds of women of every age and body type. Not only did my team work together but all of us helped each other. We gave each other boosts over walls, reached down with helping hands and hooted with encouragement. My team was two women in their seventies, one in her sixties, two in their fifties and me the baby at 47. We were the only team in our heat to actually jog/run between each obstacle the entire 5k and everyone cheered us on!
I’m not sure if I ever had to clean mud out of my ears before.

UTMom81 · July 15

Good morning, everyone! Happy to be back for another round. Thank you, @quiltingjaine for all you do for us. This is such a wonderful group!

@LadySicburn you will absolutely love this group. We were all nervous at first to share private info here, but you'll find no judgement in this group. Only support! You can do this, and 10 days at a time is a great way to make it manageable. I learn something new on the fitness front every single round from all the posts that are shared here by others, but I also learn something about my own body by recording what I eat daily and tracking the corresponding weights. So, don't be shy! We are all here for you!

SW RND 266—170.4
I am on vacation until 7/21, so this will definitely be a challenge. We have the 4-year old DGD with us too, so that’s going to make this more of a challenge.
7/15 171.2 My food consumption was well within range yesterday, and I got in a good walk before Emberly got up. Drank a LOT of water spending the afternoon in the heat on the boat and after, trying to rehydrate, so maybe that explains some of the uptick. Oh well, today is another day to make good choices and hope they show up on the scale tomorrow. Have a lovely day, everyone!

OGW: 199 (just to say I did)
Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205

Goals for this round:

1. Log my food daily; try to eat cleaner and work on portion control… really try this time.
2. Daily exercise; at least some movement…
3. Drink 90 oz. water.
4. Do the first three goals.

I want to build on the mild success of the last round. I will not be around a scale starting on the 22nd. I will be around foodie friends and eating out for a couple weeks after that, so I want to build my consistency of logging this round. Actually pay attention to what I shove into the old pie hole. Behave as if each bite has consequences. When I travel, I tend to neglect the MFP app. I should at least keep logging food and exercise shouldn’t I?

I used the word “I” quite a bit. Nine times in the previous paragraph. Thank YOU all for giving me a measure of accountability for my actions.

It feels a little funny being the only man in the group (far as I can tell, forgive me if I am wrong) but the group works for me. I hope I am not missing any obvious signal that this is a women’s only group. HA! Message for any outside guys who are taking a look, just try it for one round.

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.

judefit1 · July 15

@LadySicburn: Welcome! You found a great group who helped each of us to share that difficult task of "facing the scale" every day! Each of us has had struggles that are different, but this joint commitment to just look at 10 days has helped me tremendously. I hope you find the same sense of community I have found!

R266 - #36

RSW ⚖️ 130.4lbs

Mission: Continuously improve daily habits that strengthen a “Healthy, Strong & Fit” identity.
#HSF 📣#bestshapeofmylife📣
#helpfulhabits R266 Let’s Go! 💪🏻🙌🏻⚡️

About Me:
***********
F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean P:E (ProteinG> (Cg+Fg) A clean/whole food WOE- (🚫processed foods). Track macros, all fitness and NSVs. HW 172lbs in 2010. Lost 16lbs Aug-Nov 2023. 7/31/24 will be one year in this challenge!

👇🏻July Level Up (Down) Plan
***************************
I pledge to prioritize each of these #HSF choices EVERY DAY of July:

1. P:E: Proteing greater than 1:1 vs. Energy g. [Pg > (Cg+Fg)] (and kcals = avg. maintenance).I will continue this nutrition plan through July. It is supposed to support muscle gain with fat loss while 🏋🏼‍♀️🤸🏼‍♀️ 🎾. I will continue to track NSVs/macros/ activities, etc. to learn about my body.
2. 🙏📝 🧐 - I will continue to pray, journal, research. This is my aspect of “leveling up” because I am nothing without my relationship w/Jesus Christ. I’ve also grown into loving/enjoying learning about my body & healthy aging. Replacing BAD habits w/ GOOD habits is a journey in itself. This practice helps me stay present /mindful of many decisions/ thoughts/ actions that impact not only nutrition, but improves self-talk & interactions w/others.
3. 🏋🏼‍♀️this is my biggest challenge. I still don’t like it. Not one bit. I have some days that it clicks, but it’s a daily struggle. Living “fake it till I make it”… Faking my “identity”. My hope is that some 🏋️‍♀️version eventually becomes a healthy habit. I’m working on a minimum of 10-minute “🏋🏼‍♀️snacks” 2-3x per day, 5x per week. Gosh, how I wish someone, ANYONE would have told me in my earlier years that 🏋🏼‍♀️is the key to fat-loss / maintaining - NOT cardio. I was brainwashed.
4. Healthy Aging - includes mobility, flexibility, balance and agility. While I do stretch every morning plus “stretch snacks”… I want to up this game… I will start to add “sprints” (which is NOW only fast jogging… 😂) and plyometrics (celebrating a 2” vertical jump) 😂. I read to “sprint” is vital as we age…..
5. I have much “work” to do with family relationships. Won’t detail here, but it’s a challenge & my overall health will not flourish without this being acknowledged and improved. Mind, body & spirit are connected. I won’t be fully content until I reconcile this part of my life.
6. Sleep- This is a big one. I’m usually fast asleep by 8:30-9PM. I can’t stay up later…. I love getting up early. I’m good with a 5AM wake up but I want to sleep soundly through the night. Will continue to prioritize this key component to health and well-being…
7. Have fun… lighten up … & give myself permission to be spontaneous. (This is THE HARDEST)!!!!

👇🏻Review since my 1st R231 7/31/23 NSVs/Journey Reflections
******************

1. ✅HSF: Avg. close to 9k steps per day for 11+ mos. Not bad. It’s no longer a “daily goal” because it’s now a daily healthy habit - #HSF 👏🏻🤩
2. ✅#HSF: 🙆‍♀️ Daily stretch greatly improving my attitude & confidence.
3. ✅ #HSF 📝 🙏 everyday
4. ✅#HSF: I play 🎾about 4-5x per week.
5. ✅#HSF : Z2 💕avg 60 min/day
6. ✅#HSF : zero to 15g of net carbs/ day
7. ✅Clean P:E 115-130g Protein
8. ✅#HSF Naturally IF 18/6. Eating window=noon to 6PM. (At least 5 days/wk)
9. ✅#HSF 💦80oz daily
10. ✅#HSF Alcohol limited to rare occasions.
11. 7 to 8 hours sleep per night is a goal. Sleep is still inconsistent the last few rounds…

Staying in the present moment is key to mental health and healthy choices.

Rotating 120g to 130g of protein per day is now a non-negotiable. In my dreams, I want to be 130lbs #HSF … 😎 I want to be Healthy, Strong & Fit to live out “Chapter 3” enjoying a full range of mobility, flexibility & activities… !

Sorry all, I had posts totally mixed up this weekend and didn't realize we started another round, so as always, thank you @ quiltingjaine!
and..

@ quiltingjaine: I saw your post on your back and the treadmill- have you used the recumbent bike? That's was my go-to when my back got funky last winter and it actually helped it.

@jspecies11: the Costume Exhibit at the Met was incredible! We were all blown away by the clothing on display, from mid 1700's to this year, and as much by the curation and design of the exhibit itself- just as much artistry in that. It was remarkable. FYI, this rainy Saturday the lines for sign-up were very long (we went under membership with early access and walked right in) so weekdays are probably better! I highly recommend it to anyone who loves design of any sort!

I’m a serial dieter/gainer whose weight has varied by 50 lbs over the years; I’m working to change my relationship with food. I joined this group in 12/23 at 147, lost 22 lbs and reached my goal in 4/24. I’m now working to understand my patterns so I know where my pitfalls are. My goal is to remain within the same 3-4 lb range for good!

7/15: Geez, in my weekend flurry I had days all screwed up. Fortunately I actually was posting and just had the dates wrong. I'm not sure what caused that 1.6 lb bump in weight, but it's gone, whew! I'm thinking it was the Saturday's combo of wine and "Greek salad" from our local take-out, which was loaded with cheese and tzaziki with very little actual "salad". Ate better yesterday and just shared DGD's birthday cake with DP. Back to work...

Day, Weight, Comment
7/15 - 151.7 - I'm bloated, dehydrated, and my BM routine is all messed up. I ended up taking BF to his surgery since it was moved up and then it ended up getting delayed. I was late leaving to get the kids so no chance to stop at the store to stock up on healthy roadtrip treats like I had planned. I didn't have near enough protein, fiber, or water. I'm catching back up today, though, as best as possible. Went to the gym with SD and she's glad to be back after 2 weeks off. I'm glad to get movement in after 2 days in the car and then running errands and playing nursemaid yesterday. BF is doing okay post-op. Finally got him comfortable enough in bed propped up he didn't have to go to the recliner for another night. Glad SD and I could find good enough pillows to make that happen. He has his first physical therapy appointment on Friday so we're getting things moving quickly on recovery. No word yet from Coach today if she'll change macros. I have my meals and snacks today planned around current macros nearly perfectly so I hope she doesn't change them. Glad to be back here for another round!!

@_JeffreyD_ There have been men but they usually don’t hang here for long. @hoopsguy was here for quite some time and I actually met him in LA before DH and I left on a cruise. That was preCovid. He promised he wouldn’t disappear as he had previously and then he did. 🥹 Multiple DMs went unanswered. I still worry about him.

@judefit1 I have not tried the recumbent bike. Since DH just mentioned that we could be going to the gym every day this week maybe I will see how that feels. And I feel after. I am envious of your trip to the costume exhibit!

@khahn72856 Welcome! We are all here to support you in any way we can. YOU CAN DO THIS!
