Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 279

Chapter_3 · November 23

Y’all, I’m here. I’ve had an urgent family situation, and I’ve been taking care of business. Staying positive, staying focused but just not here on line because of the time element… Tomorrow, I’ll have time to read all posts and “weigh” in! 😘

11/22 157 Weight was creeping up the last 5 days of last round. Went out to eat last night and the food was delicious. But, I’ve got to get a grip on things again and stop the creep. This is a dangerous time of year for me, and I know it! “Danger, Will Robinson!”
11/23 156.8 I did well yesterday and hoped for a bigger drop this morning. Patience, I guess.

Goals: don’t give up on the day when it’s challenging. Choose to make good decisions in those moments instead of giving in.
Main struggles:
1. sleeping less (have two puppies, a 6mo and a 10mo old) makes it hard to wake up early enough to get a good workout in or at least to feel good awaking up. Feel defeated in the motivation and drive department compared to how I was previously.
2. Working from home makes it easy to stress eat or just eat out of boredom/habit.

SW RND 279 - 175.8
11/22 - 175.8
11/23 - 174.6 - Got a good leg workout in this morning. Had missed a lot in the last two weeks. Having this challenge in the back of my mind was helpful throughout the day. Proud that I have so far stayed on track today.

Fell off the challenge bandwagon in round 256, managed to keep losing weight until June 12th when I hit 155.9 (70.7 kg). I fell off the weight loss wagon shortly after. Decided to start back up the day before Round 278 started.

SW RD 279: 160.3 (72.7 kg)
11/22- 160.4 (72.8 kg) Late night for me. Just got home from seeing Transiberian Orchestra. This is our 3rd or 4th time seeing it. We wait 2-3 years between shows. I forget how loud concerts can be and wish I brought earplugs. But I had a really good time, nonetheless. I'm curious how a Taco Bell quesadilla for dinner and 11pm snack of pudding will affect tomorrow's weigh in. I'm still within calorie goal though.
11/23- 159.5 (72.3 kg) Sometimes I swear the scale works in strange ways. I'm not going to sweat it. Today was a very lazy, totally sedentary day. Tomorrow I'm going to get my butt up and join my husband on the morning dog walk.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 279 (my 209th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.

This round I’m going to join @Chapter_3 in in a BHAG of 1 pound a round to the end of the year, i.e. to weigh 138 or under. I need to shake myself up cuz only 3-5 days per round staying on the waggon is not sufficient to get me back to where I want to be. 4 pounds would really get me on my way; I want to stay strong, walk the walk as well as talk the talk! & make the round a successful one.
So, goals for this round;
• First and foremost, no feeding frenzies - (carried over from last few rounds)
• to weigh less at the end of the round than the start & a pound is my small BHAG for this round
• be happy because I feel that I have made the round count at the end
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.

Updated 20.08.24 – I met up with youngest DB, first time after his DP passed away at the way too early age of 46. DB lives a long way from us, we see him very infrequently & is very introvert, so not a sharer of info 😞. However, he finally opened up to me, it seems that his DPs bad health leading to heart failure followed by kidney, liver failure & then a massive stroke, was originally caused by heavy drinking. By the time he realised he was abusing his body and went teetotal, the damage was too late to reverse. He was on the list for a heart transplant, but his other organs gave up before one became available.
This has made me think about how I am abusing my body when I have binges with way too much sugar, fat & salt. I know I am a food addict. I'm going to try to think about this when I am tempted to overindulge, I need to start respecting my body more and think about whether I want to be in the best health I can be. My body has served me so well for 66 years, it deserves to be given the best chance to keep serving me well & I've been really lucky that life has not dealt me a raw health deal, so I must not jeopardize that luck.

End of round 278 – 142.6 (0.6 gained) 12.11.24 to 21.11.24

11/21 142.6 ( trend 142.6) 10.56 miles walked, the fresh snow was lovely to walk in & I thoroughly enjoyed marvelling at natures beauty all through the walk.
1.6 pound gained this round, I deserved it ☹. Moving on, my problem is I can talk the talk, but struggle to walk the walk with will power. Hope you’ve all done better than me, I’ll just keep plodding on, see you all next round.
@Itladyee - Thanks, Charissa! Poor effort = poor results. I need to get my act together!

SW RND 279 141.8
11/22 141.8 (trend 142.5) 9.03 miles walked, footpaths were quite dodgy in places with the ice, but just walked these sections gingerly:) Feeling happier in myself now that I’ve made this commitment, hoping to stick with it & keep this mind set, I know as the festive period gets closer it will become more difficult with all the various food-based meeting ups, so need to make the earlier rounds and not “festive gathering” days really count.
11/23 DNW – luckily yesterday the roads had cleared of snow & ice for us to tow the caravan out for a weekend away in Delamere Forest. Managed a 6 mile walk in the forest before darkness descended. Stayed within calorie limit.
11/24 DNW – 5.26 miles clocked up; intermittent rain scuppered our plans! We drove to Chester, plan was to walk the city walls visiting both the castle & the amphitheatre, but had to abandon quite quickly due to Storm Bert rain & wind. We ended up Christmas shopping; it proved to be quite productive, most of the DGC’s presents purchased. Heavy rain, standing water & wind might make todays journey home a bit of a challenge.

11/22 157 Weight was creeping up the last 5 days of last round. Went out to eat last night and the food was delicious. But, I’ve got to get a grip on things again and stop the creep. This is a dangerous time of year for me, and I know it! “Danger, Will Robinson!”
11/23 156.8 I did well yesterday and hoped for a bigger drop this morning. Patience, I guess.
11/24 156 That’s better. Going to see Wicked tonight at the theater, so dinner will be popcorn. Have to manage the rest of the day to allow for that, but I’m looking forward to the movie! Will focus on high protein the rest of the day. Will also be beginning the Thanksgiving baking today, so…wish me luck!

I joined this group in Rnd 245 on Dec 18 2023, when I realized I was eating my way through the holidays; I finally got on the scale and was hovering just under 150 lbs. It took about 4 months to reach my goal weight of 125. Sounds great, but I’ve done this before, which is why I’m still here.
It’s not just about losing, it’s about changing the habits of a lifetime that keep me stuck in self-defeating cycles with food.

Well, today there's no excuse, especially with Thanksgiving coming up. Each day I get to choose and yesterday is gone. So, today will be clean food.

11/24 168.2 This could be slight dehydration thanks to the Lychee Martini I had at dinner and the espresso martini I had for dessert!
It was a long day and I found it easy to accept DH suggestion to try a new local restaurant.
In my worn out state I was easily swayed with proper cocktails but surprised myself with really good food choices.
Every single morning I’m telling myself to do my best, just for today. It seems almost ridiculous how much effort I have to put into just keeping myself committed to making good food choices. I do wonder if it will ever just be my natural habit or if I will always have this on going conversation in my head that is a battle of will to not over eat.
Some days are just harder.

Hi! I’m Amanda, 5’2”, 39F in Virginia.

SW RND 279: 130.4
GW RND 278: 130.4

Set my goal to just maintain this round. A trip to MIL's, including Thanksgiving, in between two weekends. Whoof. I won't have a scale 11/25-11/30, and our last weigh-in of this round is the day after a day of road food. I feel like even maintaining is ambitious but I'm going to do the best I can under the circumstances!

NS GOALS:
🏃🏻‍♀️ or 🏋🏻‍♀️ 5/10 days
🚫 no drinking 4/10 days
📝 track food 5/10 days
(tracked for the previous day)

11/22 - 129.8!! 🏃🏻‍♀️📝 Yay, broke into the 120s by the skin of my teeth. Surprising since we went out for an unplanned Brazilian dinner. I chose a steak salad which is was a good choice (and verrrry delicious). I did have 1 beer, which was not a very good choice, but not the end of the world either. The accomplishment was that it lasted until I finished my dinner despite a very long wait for food, and I didn't feel inclined for another when we got home. I ran 6 miles yesterday, and have to walk the dogs and do a short run today. I would like to lift weights but I don't feel too optimistic about fitting it in between 3 meetings and the cardio and other work I have to do. Also want to get the oil changed on my van before we drive 500 miles next week and prep some kind of dinner, maybe chili? Happy Friday!!!

11/23-130.0🏃🏻‍♀️📝 Not too bad as far as Fridays go. DH took over the weekend meals. He recently went to a conference in Malta and is now on a Mediterranean diet kick which is just fine with me! Last night was spaghetti and salad with toast and good olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Tonight is salmon, and I’m sure, salad with olive oil and vinegar. I’m going to see Wicked today and haven’t strategized when and how to eat. Definitely going to have to squeeze lunch in before the 12:25 showing. Maybe I can share a “small” popcorn with DS.

11/24 - 129.6 📝 Wow, never have I ever weighed less on Sunday than Saturday, lol! We’ll see if there is a rebound tomorrow, the last day I’ll have a scale until the last day of the round. When I tracked late last night I ended up around maintenance calories. It’s always kind of a crapshoot though. Today is just getting ready for our big trip tomorrow and trying to not leave the house a total pig sty for the house sitter. Oh and I have to run 4 miles or so. Sunday Funday, the adult version!

67 year old 4'8",yes, shrinking with age and couldn't afford it in the first place. Having left total knee on the 11th so will be here posting until the pain is tolerable post op. Depression, stress and late night eating are my contributing factors to increased weight gain. After my surgery hope to depression due to being able to hike and play the notorious pickleball. Okay that's my rant.

Day/Weight/Comment
ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 192.0

11/22 -191.2- (Trend weight -191.7-)

11/23 -189.2- (Trend weight -191.4-) Whoosh! It does pay off when I stick to it. Of course, I don’t entirely trust that I’m full-on in the 180’s again until I hit the magical 7 (as in 187 point anything) since I can easily fluctuate 1-3 pounds even with one meal. But to dip my toes into the 180’s again is so hopeful! My trend weight finally “got off the pot” too. I am happy today! I just realized that my final day weigh-in for this round will be the morning after my Huge family Thanksgiving Dinner held on Saturday. I may skip the next morning weigh-in and wait a day or two to report/record. It doesn't make sense to start the next round on a false or temporarily high number.

11/24 -186.4- (Trend weight -190.9-) After a hard-earned whoosh yesterday I have a huge 3 lb overnight drop on the scale on top of it? It’s definitely not going to last. Full disclosure here: Yesterday I took my DGS to a Christmas craft festival held at a nearby school. It said there would be food so we skipped lunch to eat there. Once there we saw the only food was take home items like fresh baked yeast bread and fresh baked bagels. I bought one of each.

We got home and I proceeded to have a huge slab of the bread for hunger and emotional reasons which I’ll explain in a moment. I slathered it with butter. That was lunch. Later at dinner time I opted for 1 ½ of the bagels perfectly toasted with a thick layer of cream cheese. Very filling! Late last night for a snack I ate some of the neatly flavored and colored popcorn from the festival. I didn’t eat anything else because I was sure I was maybe within calories but way over on carbs. And I was full! With much less food than normal (apparently) the scale really dropped. It won’t last. I’m traveling today as well so that means sitting and restaurants which always ends in a gain for me.

For my emotions on the bread: My eating disorders of all veggies and fruits (yuck) and many meats left me often hungry as a school girl. I thank God for those delicious mile high yeast rolls they would serve nearly every day with the meals. Often it was the only thing I could stomach to eat. They were warm and fresh. The smell of the yeast is so comforting to me, even to this day. I felt nurtured and safe and fulfilled. I have lots of leftovers on these breads and I hope it will not get me into too much trouble.

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)

"Do or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

I don’t remember who said what in round 276 but something in my brain clicked. I am getting back to my old routine of longer daily fasts - at least 18 hours which includes sleep time.

11/22 133.0 YAY TMI! Got lots of steps (for me) yesterday at Walmart but when I checked my Vivofit4 it was black. I’ve had it for 202 days. I’m not happy.
11/23 133.5 meh, headache
11/24 134.0 Great Greek, chicken souvlaki and small salad.

Goals: don’t give up on the day when it’s challenging. Choose to make good decisions in those moments instead of giving in.
Main struggles:
1. sleeping less (have two puppies, a 6mo and a 10mo old) makes it hard to wake up early enough to get a good workout in or at least to feel good awaking up. Feel defeated in the motivation and drive department compared to how I was previously.
2. Working from home makes it easy to stress eat or just eat out of boredom/habit.

SW RND 279 - 175.8
11/22 - 175.8
11/23 - 174.6
11/24 - 173.5 - did one hr of cardio this morning. Ran for 40 mins without stopping then walked on an incline for the remaining 20. Stayed busy during the day. Ate a little more for dinner than what I was planning, but I will do my best to adjust the rest of the day. Posting this now to hold myself accountable to that. Ever since I started working from home the weekends are easier than the week days so hopefully I will keep the momentum going into tomorrow. I only have a 3 day work week this upcoming week bc of thanksgiving so looking forward to that!

Fell off the challenge bandwagon in round 256, managed to keep losing weight until June 12th when I hit 155.9 (70.7 kg). I fell off the weight loss wagon shortly after. Decided to start back up the day before Round 278 started.

SW RD 279: 160.3 (72.7 kg)
11/22- 160.4 (72.8 kg) Late night for me. Just got home from seeing Transiberian Orchestra. This is our 3rd or 4th time seeing it. We wait 2-3 years between shows. I forget how loud concerts can be and wish I brought earplugs. But I had a really good time, nonetheless. I'm curious how a Taco Bell quesadilla for dinner and 11pm snack of pudding will affect tomorrow's weigh in. I'm still within calorie goal though.
11/23- 159.5 (72.3 kg) Sometimes I swear the scale works in strange ways. I'm not going to sweat it. Today was a very lazy, totally sedentary day. Tomorrow I'm going to get my butt up and join my husband on the morning dog walk.
11/24-159.4 (72.3 kg) DH, dog, and I went on a mini driving adventure today after the morning dog walk. We both had gas station snacks for breakfast on the way, and even with a late lunch and a big bowl of zuppa Toscana for dinner, I'm feeling slightly hungry.

View from a short walk we took along the lake during our excursion.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 279 (my 209th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.

This round I’m going to join @Chapter_3 in in a BHAG of 1 pound a round to the end of the year, i.e. to weigh 138 or under. I need to shake myself up cuz only 3-5 days per round staying on the waggon is not sufficient to get me back to where I want to be. 4 pounds would really get me on my way; I want to stay strong, walk the walk as well as talk the talk! & make the round a successful one.
So, goals for this round;
• First and foremost, no feeding frenzies - (carried over from last few rounds)
• to weigh less at the end of the round than the start & a pound is my small BHAG for this round
• be happy because I feel that I have made the round count at the end
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.

Updated 20.08.24 – I met up with youngest DB, first time after his DP passed away at the way too early age of 46. DB lives a long way from us, we see him very infrequently & is very introvert, so not a sharer of info 😞. However, he finally opened up to me, it seems that his DPs bad health leading to heart failure followed by kidney, liver failure & then a massive stroke, was originally caused by heavy drinking. By the time he realised he was abusing his body and went teetotal, the damage was too late to reverse. He was on the list for a heart transplant, but his other organs gave up before one became available.
This has made me think about how I am abusing my body when I have binges with way too much sugar, fat & salt. I know I am a food addict. I'm going to try to think about this when I am tempted to overindulge, I need to start respecting my body more and think about whether I want to be in the best health I can be. My body has served me so well for 66 years, it deserves to be given the best chance to keep serving me well & I've been really lucky that life has not dealt me a raw health deal, so I must not jeopardize that luck.

11/21 142.6 ( trend 142.6) 10.56 miles walked, the fresh snow was lovely to walk in & I thoroughly enjoyed marvelling at natures beauty all through the walk.
1.6 pound gained this round, I deserved it ☹. Moving on, my problem is I can talk the talk, but struggle to walk the walk with will power. Hope you’ve all done better than me, I’ll just keep plodding on, see you all next round.
@Itladyee - Thanks, Charissa! Poor effort = poor results. I need to get my act together!

SW RND 279 141.8
11/22 141.8 (trend 142.5) 9.03 miles walked, footpaths were quite dodgy in places with the ice, but just walked these sections gingerly:) Feeling happier in myself now that I’ve made this commitment, hoping to stick with it & keep this mind set, I know as the festive period gets closer it will become more difficult with all the various food-based meeting ups, so need to make the earlier rounds and not “festive gathering” days really count.
11/23 DNW – luckily yesterday the roads had cleared of snow & ice for us to tow the caravan out for a weekend away in Delamere Forest. Managed a 6 mile walk in the forest before darkness descended. Stayed within calorie limit.
11/24 DNW – 5.26 miles clocked up; intermittent rain scuppered our plans! We drove to Chester, plan was to walk the city walls visiting both the castle & the amphitheatre, but had to abandon quite quickly due to Storm Bert rain & wind. We ended up Christmas shopping; it proved to be quite productive, most of the DGC’s presents purchased. Heavy rain, standing water & wind might make todays journey home a bit of a challenge.
11/25 141 (trend 142.1) numbers looking better 😊, but must not get complacent. Again no structured walking due to the weather.

I enjoy reading everyone’s posts with my morning coffee.

Highest weight 242 lbs
Lowest weight 142 lbs (2019)
Re-start JGMTD Feb 2024 @ 204 lbs

Round 278 End Weight 170

11/22 169.8
11/23 169.8
11/24 168.2
11/25 169.8 I knew there would be a martini rebound. I ate far too much Indian food. Gitisha sent us home with happy warm full bellies and the direction to take a nap. We obeyed and it was a perfect afternoon.
I was surprised that I slept for nine hours on top of that last night. My body needed rest and recovery.
My goal is to stay on plan through Wednesday and give myself just a little wiggle room on Thanksgiving. My toxic trait with holiday food is over eating appetizers. I just love little bites and snacky things. It’s so silly that we have so much food before we are sitting down to eat a large meal.
I do not have a “touch football on the lawn” before dinner kind of family. We pre game by eating!

I can’t even think about the left over sandwich on Friday. I’d skip all of Thanksgiving and just have that sandwich if I could.

But with the potential to have an entire round under 170 there is a spark of motivation.

I'm in for round 279! @quiltingjaine is it possible to make a group, that way we never miss a challenge? If not, totally fine, do what is most convenient for you! Thank you for bringing everyone together for this challenge

Sorry, I haven’t any idea how to do that or if it’s possible. Would that then make it one continuous post? After 7.5 years (that’s how long this/these have been running) that would be rather lengthy. I will check it out - no promises.

@Fast4Life24 and @quiltingjaine
My two cents here... There is something beautiful about "just give me ten days," then I will boot it to the curb, shake the dust off my sandals, then start a completely new and fresh ten days.

I had a hard time moving on Sunday, I just wanted to be a couch potato. I try to take the dog for a walk twice per day, Sunday it was only once so low step count.

My plan is not to have two consecutive poor days, so back on track today.

Random question for everyone…
I see a lot of acronyms used for family members, ie dh, ds, ddgd, etc. what do those stand for? I was thinking husband, son, granddaughter, but the d’s are getting me. Thanks in advance!

Male: 67
6’-2”
OSW: 237.8 (Nov. 2016.) I was actually at 250 in 2011 or so…
OGW: 199 (just to say I did)
Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205

Simple Goals for this round:

1. Log my food daily; try to eat cleaner and work on portion control.
2. Daily exercise; at least some movement
3. Be mindful, moment by moment.

Round 279 Posts
This is my posting format….

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

Previous posts:

11/22: 223.2
11/23: 225.0
/not logged, much exercise; 66 oz water/
Didn’t post yesterday because I got an early start in the woods looking for Bambi’s mom. (I didn’t find her.)

Even though I burned a lot of calories yesterday, this morning is testament to all the calories-in and almost nothing-out (TMI.) Last night was a little get together for DGD’s 1st birthday. I was not mindful. DW made lima beans which she hates and I LOVE. I rarely see them under my roof. I over indulged.

11/21/24 : 223.6
SW on day before.

11/24: DNW
11/25: DNW

With guests in the house I have not weighed the past two days. The scale is in the guest bathroom so I avoid going in there undressed. Just as well. Let’s just say I will be happy by the end of this round to match my SW.

So, I am just checking in to see how you all are doing.

While I am here, I could mention something I may have discovered yesterday. I let my DW be the gate keeper for some of my food choices.
She says “how about a frozen pizza?” I say “heck yes!”
She says “who would eat a Klondike Bar?” I say “of course!”
She just wants to be a gracious host to our guests. I hobo along like I have no choice about what to let in through my gate! (gate = cake hole)

Step one: Don’t blame DW!

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.
