Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 285

quiltingjaine · January 18

Round 285
January 21 - 30, 2025

Please join us starting on 1/21 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 285.

Thank you, Carolyn (@Chapter_3)! Let’s all STAY ENGAGED!

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. Make the board your own - track what is important for YOUR JOURNEY.

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

Count me in. 😊

I’m joining, thank you. I have friends staying throughout this round so weight gain is far more likely than any loss. Part of my health improvement/weight loss plan has been a significant reduction in alcohol. In my head, I’m committing to record my alcohol consumption and stay within limits.

Round 282 88.8 kg
Round 283 87.8
Round 284 87.15

I've given myself two personal challenges. One is to reach goal weight by the end of 2025. This means I post a calculated score to indicate how I'm going. The higher the score the better. It should be greater than 100. That means exactly 5 years to lose 32 kg. A tad too long. The second challenge is to lose weight every round. I'd be really proud of achieving that.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 285 (my 215th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine.

So here we go again, I’m just keeping plugging away! New round, taking something forward from @Chapter_3 (again) if I may "We should be strategically engaged with our lives each day, right?! That’s my word… ENGAGED." " I will try to keep that word ENGAGED in my mind over these new 10 days & also remember that I am the driver of my life & not the passenger. My goal for this round is to be under 140. I need to be diligent as only 3-5 days per round staying on the waggon is not sufficient to get me back to where I want to be & then relaxing for the last 2/3 is not acceptable! Then for the rest of January if I can keep at a pound a round, I’ll be well happy. 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 – I am not a shark or even a piranha!
• 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.

Woke up with a headache this morning, so today is going to be a challenge. Did much better yesterday, but I need to get the chocolate cake out of my house before I fail to weakness again. Don’t know if I will make my Body Combat today due to the headache and being really sore from yesterday, but I will try and get some sort of movement in. Have a meeting for my last college class from 1-2 am so sleep is going to be a bit short tomorrow.

Comment (01/21/25):
Impulsive meal plan changes, alcohol, and lack of exercise are the main challenges. Time to up my self-discipline.
Thanks for doing another round, @quiltingjaine!

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

For a short while I will be away from home enjoying some time in a warmer climate. No scale, but from time to time I will step on the scale at the local grocery store fully clothed and after breakfast and coffee. A lot of DNW!

Simple Goals for this round with the hope that they turn into habits:

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.

Amazing how much our social activities revolve around food. Of course we had to fry up the fish we caught yesterday. But it wasn’t enough to feed everyone’s families in our group, so a trip to the store was in order to get some delicious Italian Sausage for the grill, and DW brought a pasta dish and others brought salad and bread. I am still full this morning. And yesterday was such a hot mess of eating, I didn’t log it. Shame on me.

The boat captain yesterday was fun. Since I was the one of the four of us who showed up in shorts and sandals for a rainy cold morning on the boat and the other three showed up in snowmobile suits (his words) I became the target of his jokes. I guess he thought I could take it. I could, and did with a little bit of dishing it back. He couldn’t remember my name so he called me Jimmy. It starts with J. This name might stick for a few days. Ha! Male pack-behavior at its finest in a steady rain.

Back to logging today.

SW Rnd 285—153.4
1/21 153.4 New York City cost me 2.4 pounds, but it was worth every ounce! We had such a delightful time, and I felt great about the way I looked in the clothes I had purchased (or pulled out of my smaller clothes closet). THIS is the kind of “living” I’ve been working toward while losing weight. I was able to go hard all day with our son and oldest granddaughter (she’s 28), and thoroughly enjoyed all the activity. We did so much walking and were so tired when we hit the bed each night, but what an amazing city! Seeing Wicked on Broadway was…well, I truly don’t have words. I will include one picture here in which we weren’t bundled up in coats. This was taken at the Summit at One Vanderbilt, standing on a piece of glass, literally over the city. I ate WAY too many carbs, and it showed up on the scales this morning, but now I can work to get back on track and set a new “experiential” goal out there in the future. Today is my hubby’s 80th birthday, so it’s easy to feel like times like these might be limited. I’m so thankful we had this time together in celebration of his milestone birthday. Time to make the best of every single day!

1/21 176.2 Never have I ever been so happy to start a new round. I weighed myself at the gym yesterday morning. My scale is five pounds more.
I want to return it and get a new, new scale but honestly I’m just tired of thinking about it so much. Also I think my feelings will be genuinely hurt if the next scale tells me an even higher number.
I’m still in my lazy January mode.I’m getting plenty of exercise but much less activity during my day.

Backstory

In 2022 I was around 157lbs with 24% bf. Was definitely in the “best shape” of my adult life then. Since then I started a new career working from home as a developer. Have moved away from my family for fiancés job. We’ve moved several times to various states in a short time span. So far we’ve moved 3 times, all about 9 months apart. Welcomed two puppies into the mix. Lots of changes. Lots of time spent at home. Lots of time spent away from family. Fell out of touch with friends. All of the adjustments and figuring out how to manage/handle more daily responsibilities and navigate through this phase of life has manifested into me gaining 20+lbs and losing a lot of willpower, motivation, drive, positivity, etc that I once thrived on. Found this challenge and it has been helping me get it back. Nothing is permanent! Looking forward to working through this.

Overall Goals and Challenges

Goals
1. Focusing on behavior and mindset. Calories have been going way over for so long I need to reel the behavior back in a healthy way.
2. Don’t give up on the day when it’s challenging. Choose to make good decisions in those moments instead of giving in.
Challenges
1. Working from home makes it easy to stress eat or just eat out of boredom/habit.
2. Sleeping less (have two puppies, a 8mo and a 1yr 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.

Daily, Small, Attainable Goals

1. Finish 1st 27oz water before 2pm
2. Finish 2nd 27oz water before bed
3. Alternate standing and sitting at desk every other hour during working hours (or stand at least half of the day).
4. Hit maintenance calories at a minimum.
5. -200 cal deficit on gym days
6. If I go over cals, try to cap it at +200

Gym: 1hr leg day

Wins: gym on a work day. Ended at a deficit yesterday. Brand new day today. It IS possible to not drop the ball. It IS possible to meet my goals. 💡

Challenges: not overeating during working hours. Will need to cook again in the next day or so. That always sucks on a work day. I enjoy cooking but not when it has to get crammed in at the end of the day.

I've made it to the next round without loosing the thread. For me that's an accomplishment in itself.

My goals for the round were already simple. Life this week boarders on overwhelming. Cutting back on simple is the easiest way for me to complete this round.

For a short while I will be away from home enjoying some time in a warmer climate. No scale, but from time to time I will step on the scale at the local grocery store fully clothed and after breakfast and coffee. A lot of DNW!

Simple Goals for this round with the hope that they turn into habits:

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.

Amazing how much our social activities revolve around food. Of course we had to fry up the fish we caught yesterday. But it wasn’t enough to feed everyone’s families in our group, so a trip to the store was in order to get some delicious Italian Sausage for the grill, and DW brought a pasta dish and others brought salad and bread. I am still full this morning. And yesterday was such a hot mess of eating, I didn’t log it. Shame on me.

The boat captain yesterday was fun. Since I was the one of the four of us who showed up in shorts and sandals for a rainy cold morning on the boat and the other three showed up in snowmobile suits (his words) I became the target of his jokes. I guess he thought I could take it. I could, and did with a little bit of dishing it back. He couldn’t remember my name so he called me Jimmy. It starts with J. This name might stick for a few days. Ha! Male pack-behavior at its finest in a steady rain.

Back to logging today.

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.

No shame! Sounds like a very fun day!

GOALS
*Track everything and maintain my spreadsheet!
* At least 8000 (👣) steps each day, but hopefully over 10,000 (🌟) at least 3 times during the round
* Strength training 3 times per round.
* 90+ grams of protein each day.
* Drink more water!
*New walking goal: 110 miles in January. May raise that in spring.

SW Rnd 285—153.4
1/21 153.4 New York City cost me 2.4 pounds, but it was worth every ounce! We had such a delightful time, and I felt great about the way I looked in the clothes I had purchased (or pulled out of my smaller clothes closet). THIS is the kind of “living” I’ve been working toward while losing weight. I was able to go hard all day with our son and oldest granddaughter (she’s 28), and thoroughly enjoyed all the activity. We did so much walking and were so tired when we hit the bed each night, but what an amazing city! Seeing Wicked on Broadway was…well, I truly don’t have words. I will include one picture here in which we weren’t bundled up in coats. This was taken at the Summit at One Vanderbilt, standing on a piece of glass, literally over the city. I ate WAY too many carbs, and it showed up on the scales this morning, but now I can work to get back on track and set a new “experiential” goal out there in the future. Today is my hubby’s 80th birthday, so it’s easy to feel like times like these might be limited. I’m so thankful we had this time together in celebration of his milestone birthday. Time to make the best of every single day!

Hi, I'm Amanda! 5'2" 39F in Virginia.

RSW: 125.0
RGW: 124.0

NS goals (tracked for previous day with emojis):
🏃🏻‍♀️Follow my running training plan exactly, which I think will require training 8/10 days. Half marathon on Feb 2nd!
✔️Core 7/10 days (5 days a week)
🏋🏻‍♀️Lift weights 3/10 days (twice a week)
🚫 Alcohol-free 10/10 days (doing most of dry January except for the first 6 days I was on vacation

)

1/21 - 124.8 🚫 Finally everyone is out of the house after a full week of sick days and a holiday yesterday! Hoping to have a very uneventful round 284 so I can focus on my goals. The day after this round I travel to San Francisco and run my half-marathon! I can't believe I'm only 12 days from the race (OMGGGGGGG). The high temperature is 21F today, so I'll walk the dogs but do my run on the treadmill. I still have a pretty bad cough, so having water nearby is very helpful anyway. DH has been focused on reorganizing our basement where we previously kept Beatrice's litter boxes. We are ultimately going to finish the basement, but for now he has vastly improved the serenity of my workout space.
