JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 7

06/12 62.9. yesterday I was 61.9, the day before 63... it's funny how much water weight you can gain/ lose in a day, and how sad it can be!
06/13 62.4. yesterday was supposed to be my 'fast day' for 5:2. broke, and had about 800 calories instead of the 500. i think that the 5:2 diet is not for me. Or maybe I need to buy a stack of celery.
06/14 63.3 today, which is annoying! I walked 10km but didn't actually do any other exercise. i also saw a concert and had four pints. Probably deserve it. have my 3 gym classes tonight + 7- 10 walking, so hopefully tomorrow is better. If I drink tonight, I'll avoid beer...
06/15 63 disappointing after such a huge amount of exercise last night, but did eat quite late.
06/16 62.

I like the idea of putting in numbers from other rounds because it shows how far people have come. It's 'only' 10 days but they add up when you keep committing. Sometimes it seems like a daunting task when challenges last for months. So here goes:

R3 SW 217.4

R5 SW 212
R6 Missed- Was away with no scale
R7 SW 208.4 (June 11)
06/12 - 207.8

I'm a little disappointed in myself. I maintained my weight Friday and Saturday (weekends are usually hard for me to eat within calories). Then last night was just a free for all. I went 1100 calories over for the day and it shows on the scale this morning. I've never weighed myself on a Monday. Back at it today though. Workout planned at 8:00!!
06/13 - 136.4
Well that went the wrong way ... had a good day though. Good workout and avoided temptation of food and beer at an impromptu get together with neighbors.
06/14 - 135.3
Good food day yesterday, just under 1200 calories. No time for my workout. Getting wo in first thing this morning!
06/15 - 134.9
Good day for exercise, bad day for food. I was around 700 calories over my 1200 net goal. To be exact, I was 3 full calorie beers, 1 m&m cookie and 1 serving of potato chips over I'm hoping it doesn't catch up to me tomorrow because I have to weigh in for my biggest loser group.
06/16 - 134.4
Finally less than the day before this started ... but now the weekend. I have at least 3 meals out (my oldest son is graduating from high school tomorrow). I am more motivated than usual to stay strong this weekend, it will be interesting to see how it goes.

My highest weight was 300 in January 2014. I started my Fitness Pal and got down to 258 in February 2015. In June 2015, my mom moved in for 24 hour care. My whole mind set was changed, no longer did I need to lose weight, I needed to take care of my mom. Needless to say my weight climbed back up. I have been bouncing back and forth between 275 and 285. In March of this year, at doctor's, I was at 282. She recommended myfitnesspal. I am loving it. Slow going, but the weight is coming off in-spite the trials we are going through now. Husband being diagnosed with colon cancer, and me with type 2 diabetes. Doctor said lose another 10-20 lbs and I'll be in a safer zone. Gives me a whole new motivation.
Start weight: 279
Current weight: 273.2
Current Goal weight: 270
Long term goal: 135
Round 4 278.0
Round 5 275.6
Round 6 273.2
6/12 273.4
6/13 272.0
6/14 271.6
6/15 271.6 hmmm, must have been sampling from cake grand-kids(ages 7 & 5) made for Father's Day picnic. Had to make sure it was good before serving it to others. I did choose to use the 2-bite rule.
6/16 270.6 Let's see if I can keep this going. Husband's PET Scan, yesterday read, Positive for STAGE 4 COLON CANCER. Meeting with oncologist at 10 and surgeon at noon, today. Surgery is scheduled for Monday morning at 10.

HOLY COW! I was so excited to log in and write this morning! Successes--I've been putting in at a calorie deficite pretty much every single day and when I'm not formally exercising I'm at least staying active. Failures--well I bought a bunch of pastries from my favorite French shop this weekend and chowed down so I had to work out hardcore just to burn them off.
Hoping this pound stays off and it's not a fluke! *fingers crossed*
06/13: 134.8
I think this is one of those random dips in weight after coming off of a plateau for what seemed like forever. Also I've cut out a lot of dairy from my diet as it was a major source of excess calories.
06/14: 136.2
I'm constipated today. Enough said. :-(
06/15: 136
Didn't really exercise yesterday but I came in under calorie count. I'd like to think this is a sign that I'm headed back in the healthier direction. We will see.
06/16 Stayed over at a friend's last night and she doesn't have a scale. I knew I was going to go over my cal count because it was a sleepover. Did 10 mins of HIIT though and am super sore today.

6/11 I'm in again.
Woke up at 150.4 today thanks to too many carbs and beers while camping.
Let's see what round 7 brings. Nothing but the best.
06/12 149.4 OK, some water weight gone. Under on carbs and cals. 30 on elliptical. Still 1.4# over from when I started round 6. Gain so easy, lose so slow, that's the story of my yoyo. LOL My goal for this round is to get in the 147's.
06/13 148.8 Yahooooo. 35 Elliptical (interval), trained, made cabbage soup to get me back on track.
06/14 147.5 Yes!!! Did 30 on elliptical, an hour of water aerobics, ate clean. 1/2 more pound off and I'm halfway to my goal weight of 132. I am soooo stoked. It's been slow, with ups and downs, but it's happening.
06/15 148.4 Ah, the dreaded fluctuation. Over on carbs, had some corn and ribs for dinner. I didn't over do it though so yeah for that. Did Elliptical for 50 min. Don't think I had enough water yesterday.Today I go to gym. Here's to a day of virtue.
06/16 147.8 Heading back down despite too many carbs yesterday = 1/3 of an Aldi's pizza. Doesn't seem fair that 2 smallish slices of pizza should pack so many carbs. Oh, but it was good. So happy that I'm logging food and drink and being so good to myself. I may be the turtle in the race but he did win.

06/13 - 172.4 - grrrr that's annoying. I came in under calories and spent 30 min on the elliptical yesterday.
06/14 - 172 - better than yesterday but still discouraging. Again came in slightly under calories but no time for exercise yesterday. Determined to keep it up and see better results tomorrow.
06/15 - 171
06/16 - 170 - Yay! No exercise yesterday, but continue to meet my calorie goal daily. Doing the elliptical this morning. Typically do 30 min. Will try for 35 min today.

[i ]GOODMORNING EVERYONE!! [/i]
Round 1 for me!
6/12: 269 Couldn't bare to put 270lbs but I probably weighted more than that! Feeling pretty bad I let myself get to this point! I have never walked this much in one day in months! Feels great! NSV worthy!
6/13: 267.8 Surprised I lost that much weight, I might have overate on my calories a little! Teeehee!
6/14: 266.8 I had a little more snack than I should have had, but I must have been able to burn enough calories as to where it did not matter! Went for a walk this morning in heels, definitely going to have blisters on my ankles. Gonna go for another walk, as well. Nothing is stopping me anymore!
6/15: 267.8 Welp! I ate something my boss brought back for me, and my heels were too busted to get a good walk in. I am extremely ready to get a 30 minute walk in after work! Looking at my weight loss so far, the gain could have been worse!
6/16: 265.6 WOW! Super excited to see that! Now I can start showing weight loss on my ticker, had to lose the extra weight I gained. Two coworkers gave me their leftovers, I split it between myself and my twin. Did not eat anything else because I wasn't too sure what the calories were. Walked but not as much as I wanted to. Starting to feel confident!

06/11 SW 212.2 I started drinking water like I should and only had one soda this day
06/12 CW 212.2 Really pushed water today nothing else but coffee in the morning, stayed within my calorie goals!!
06/13 CW 210.2 So far so good today 8 cups of water in already and continuing to make healthier choices!
06/14 CW 209.2 Today it was easier to eat within my calories and I had absolutely no cravings for soda! My goal is to get a workout in today.
06/15 CW 208.4 Another great day yesterday, I even turned away chocolate I will let myself have stuff in moderation but, since I literally just started back I'm waiting to let myself have stuff that I usually don't control myself with. I'm not sure why I'm losing so quickly I'm wondering if it could have to do with my body bouncing back into what was my "normal" since it hasn't been that long since I lost 30 pounds and put it back on again but, whatever the reason I'll take it!!
06/16 CW 208.4 I stayed the same which is actually surprising I thought I might have gained because even though I did stay within my calories and ate healthily I only had a breakfast and didn't have time to stop for anything until dinnertime where I ate most of my calories for the day but I had a lot of carbs.

SW - in March - 182.3
GW- going to get to 150 and evaluate from there.
06/11 - 160.0lbs - coming in from round 6
06/12 - 161.2lbs - TOM gets the blame for this one as I know it wasn't my activity level and food yesterday.
06/13 - 161.6 - I know I ate under maintenance calories yesterday...so once again it's all TOMs fault LOL. My rings are tight and my feet are puffy...so I'm sure the water will shed when TOM leaves. Because I weigh every day I know this is a typical fluctuation in my cycle.
06/14 - 160.8lbs - on the way back down...the 150's are calling me!!
06/15 - 160.6lbs - not bad considering I did some quality control on the oatmeal cookies I made for today's school fair bake sale....and finished my kid's fries last night...must have been the 14000 steps that kept me in check.
06/16 - 159.6lbs - HELLO 150's!!! Worked my butt off at our School Fun Fair yesterday so even the bites of brownie and gelato I shared with my kids didn't make a difference (17000+steps and lots of lifting)

4'11", female, 55 years old
06/12 156.4 Felt lucky to get that! I finished my last food pretty late...
06/13 158.0 Figured I had gained after stressful day, yesterday & then out of control eating. I'll do better before
this round is done.
06/14 157.4 Stuck with my meal plans, yesterday.
06/15 157.4 Was okay with this... stayed right at about 1200 calories, yesterday

06/14 142.4 Stayed under 1590 calorie goal
06/15 141.0 Only had 1100 calories and under carb goal. However protein is too low so need to focus on that.
06/16 141.6 Too many carbs from late night snacking on chips. Why do I sabotage myself2 -
Try this again.

06/12=199.0
06/13=196.4!

06/15=195.6 Wasn't as careful with what I ate yesterday. Working outside in the heat, a lot of snacking.

SW:274 CW: 259 MGW1(mini goal wt): 249
06/12: 262.4 (up .2lbs but it's expected as I did not do much exercising yesterday and ate a bit over my cals. Tomorrow will hopefully be better as it will be Tuesday and I usually eat better throughout the weekday vs the weekend.)
06/13: 262.4 (More like Cal in Cal Out when your body wants it out...ugh. I wasn't that hungry yesterday and ate a little below 1200 (not on purpose) and worked out really hard. I guess my body is not used to it and is trying to hold on to every little carb and sodium I do take in)
06/14: 260.2 (I couldn't eat that much last night but forced myself to eat an apple and pb2 to get to 1000 cals after working out for an hr...will try to eat a bit more today if I workout for a long time...on a positive note that's 14lbs down in almost 3 weeks eating on average at 1700 cals!)
06/15: 259.4 (Awesome beans!)
06/16: 259 (I couldn't workout last night due to the power going out...ugh but I still went down .4lbs so I am content...now here comes the hard part...the weekend)

Round 7
6/11 SW = 229.7
This is the first time I'm in on this challenge. I weigh myself everyday and I find it fascinating. I'm hoping this accountability will help me in my weight loss.
06/12--229.4 Starting weight included some water weight I gained after eating out the day before, so today's weight takes into account losing some of that water weight.
06/13--228.3 Rest of the water weight. Also did my weightlifting and stayed on track with my food.
06/14--228.6 Ate well yesterday and met my exercise goals. Normal daily fluctuations. Overall trend is still downward.
06/15--228.6 Had a hard weightlifting session yesterday, so probably retaining water from the workout. Overall trend is still downward.
06/16--227.9 Happy with the loss. Some of it is the water I had retained after my weightlifting session, but I'll take it.

Oh my goodness, I am finally under 170 lbs!!! A little backstory: I started at 211 on October 23rd. I haven't been under 170lbs since before college. I have been on many diets over the years, but this is the most successful I've ever been. These last few weeks have been especially hard trying to get under 170lbs and it really felt like I was never going to make it there, but I have finally did it! I guess this just goes to show to trust in the process. Even when it doesn't seem like it you're making progress.5 -
SW: 188
GW: 135
10 day challenge goal-set a base line for future challenges.
06/12 - 188 lbs
06/13 - 187 lbs I ate okay today and worked out twice. Water walking in the am and treadmill and weights in the pm. I am looking forward to positive results!
06/14 - 186 lbs ate good today even went to dinner with family and did okay. Mowed the lawn this morning and then did my cardio/weight training in the afternoon. Blew away my steps goal for the day.
06/15 - 184 lbs thankfully I have the time this summer to commit to myself! I water walked this morning for an hour and now off to do my regular cardio/weight training. I think monitoring my food has made a large impact. I have really been focused on serving size instead of mindless eating.
06/16 - 185 lbs planning on doing cardio and weight training along with organizing the basement. I figured I should log this before I forget. Here's to another healthy day!

06/15 - 173.6 < Ah.... Had the best dessert ever (well a shared piece) and not much exercise and the scale said down??? Go me!! .... Until tomorrow then.
06/16 - 174.6 > Here's that nonlinear thing... Good walk but dinner out again... Thought I made calorie wise choices but it could be the sodium. No run either I'm a little sad of that it's been a few days.

Will you be starting another challenge on the 22?hillcrestbaby wrote: »Can you all believe this is round 7? You've all been so faithful to stay connected and logging in to share your ups downs and all around! Way to go everyone!
Well, in our last (JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS) Round 6, we saw once again that what we eat and drink matters! Some more significant changes in weight loss happened as we logged the good with the not so good days! Many of us had NSV AND CHOSE TO NOT EVEN WEIGH FOR THE DAY AND THAT IS Ok! I was on vacation for most of round 6 and will be for round 7 as well--but I'm cheering you all on and trying to do my best as well!
We again added a few more followers and found it nice to encourage others along the way! We are learning every day what works and what doesn't on this journey! It's so great to have short term goals and to break up our long term goals in smaller increments so it doesn't always seem so overwhelming.
So Starting on June 12- June 21 | JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 7! Lets see what more we can do as we reach a total of 70 days consecutively!
Anyone else game?
Weighing yourself everyday? Controversial you may say? Well for me personally, checking the scale can be motivating. I read in a study of 3,500 people who maintained 60 or more pounds of weight loss for at least a year, researchers from the National Weight Control Registry found that 44 percent weighed themselves every day. Another study in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found that overweight people are six times more likely to lose weight if they weigh themselves at least once a day. I don't about you, but it helps me and motivates me to keep going or to tweak what I did the day before. I never weigh more than just once in the morning. Our weight fluctuates constantly throughout the day with what we drink and consume, so only make it a 'once a day' rule for sanity sake.
Let's give it our best 10 days ever for an inspirational jump start to Summer!
Here is what to do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. 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.
On your mark

6/12: 202.2lbs
6/13: 199.6lbs Drank lots of water yesterday and also did my first day of Insanity. Not taking a diuretic or laxatives but finally getting a break through. Hopefully, my progress will continue but to reach the 10 day goal already, I may not be able to get my body to lose more. But day two of Insanity is later this evening.
6/14: 199.6lbs A good day yesterday for diet and exercise, second day of Insanity completed. No movement on the scale but that's okay. I'm hoping to have lost something in my measurements by the end of the week. More than anything, I'm just happy my weight is staying down and not going up lol. I did have a late night snack of about 2 cups of cherries so good thing they did not effect me.
6/15 200lbs Insanity Cardio Recovery, plenty of water and decent eating intervals.
6/16 200lbs Had a bad day yesterday. I was running around and my eating schedule was thrown off. Didn't get to do Insanity, but walked around NYC for 3 hours sightseeing and shopping. I hope tomorrow is better.
