JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 7
Replies
-
06/12 - 205.9. Yesterday was the first day that I've tracked my calories using MFP. I did pretty well, had about 150 calories to spare. I'm not following any specific diet, just eating what I would normally eat, which is a vegetarian diet, and watching my portion sizes, making sure to measure when needed. Today's weight is actually 3 ounces more than yesterday's weight. Hopefully it will start going in the opposite direction by the end of this 10-day challenge. Oh, and I exercised today. I did a beginners step aerobics dvd.
06/13 - 205.7. Down 2 ounces. Yay for the downward trend! Today I had a crappy day at work and I ate more chocolate than I should have. Stress is a food trigger for me and I need to keep that in mind and make a point to change my behavior (turning to food) next time. I logged all of my meals today using the MFP app. No exercise today. I'm going to attempt to get up at 5:15 am tomorrow and do step aerobics before work. We'll see how that goes.
06/14 - 205.8. Not the direction I was hoping for. I know from past experience with weighing myself every day that my weight fluctuates up and down during the week. On a good note, I did get myself out of bed at 5:15 am and worked out.
06/15 - 205.1. Yes! Now I have to keep this up. Didn't get up at 5:15 am this morning. I was tired all day yesterday from getting up early. I'm going to try exercising after dinner tonight and see if that works better for me. I've tracked all my food and today I started tracking my water intake -- 9 cups so far today.
06/16 - 204.6. I did a little happy dance this morning when I weighed myself. Last night I worked out, did one of the 2-mile Walk Away the Pounds DVDs, and that worked out better for me. This challenge is forcing me to evaluate what I'm doing as far as exercise and eating and tweaking as I go along. I like that. In the past, I'd never put a lot of thought into my weight loss attempts. I would just try to eat less or count points or sporadically exercise, and that's probably why I've failed in the past. This 10-day challenge keeps me focused and accountable, which is a good thing.3 -

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:
R2 SW 221
R3 SW 217.4
R4 SW 215
R5 SW 212
R6 Missed- Was away with no scale
R7 SW 208.4 (June 11)
06/12 - 207.8
06/13 - 207.4
06/14 - 207.6 Getting close to a mini goal, as usual I'm going to have to buckle down and fight for it

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!
6/17: 263.0 Holy crap. . .starting to think I am not taking enough calories in? This is probably just water weight, but I can't believe how happy I am to see that number! I thought that I would still be dissapointed, that even though I have saw that number before and been on this path before the number wouldn't make me feel good. Lie! It does! Had a coworker's chicken tender leftover and decided that since I have no clue how many calories were in it, that was dinner! Walked for 15 minutes My boss bought me a Jimmy John's cookie..YUM! But I am saving it for when I have calories to afford! Meeting someone today after talking to them for weeks, so excited I got to lose this much weight before hand!

SW:274 CW: 257 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)
06/17: 257.8 (I was so busy yesterday that I barely had time to eat. Still managed to get in at least 70 mins of exercise in and 1200 cals (at least I think...I hope I am not underestimating my cals) though!)

Starting weight 6/11 - 134.5
Goal for 10 days - 132.5
06/12 - 136.1
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.
06/17 - 134
Moving in the right direction, but today is graduation day, dinner out and no exercise ...

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.
06/17 148 No exercise yesterday; allergies had me feeling tired. Gonna go early today.

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.
06/17--227.9 Goal is to stay on track this weekend.

6/15 - 242.8

Great idea. I am pretty bad at sticking with things, so having a go especially as I weighed myself today...must be a sign! First timer joining with R7:
Day Weight Comments
06/12 - 193.4lbs 30mins on elliptical
06/13 - 192.4lbs another 30mins on elliptical!!
06/14 - 192.2lbs wow feeling inspired and did another 30mins on the elliptical today!! this is very strange and matches the number of times I had exercised in the last 3 weeks, but it could be guilt. Had a tasty strawberry tart yesterday and some wine, but was well behaved enough to log it on MFP.
06/15 - 191.2lbs officially lost 2.2lbs since 12th June. Very pleased. Busy day ahead, so focussing on sticking to the calorie plan.
06/16 - 190.2lbs no workout today but tried to stay active even though I was at the funeral of my 46 year old cousin today (too young to go...RIP). working out how many calories I had eaten from a buffet was tricky.
06/17 - 190.0lbs food choices become interesting when logging all you eat. still going in the right direction even though was a bit unsure of how yesterday may affect weigh in.

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)
06/17 - 159.8lbs - still in the 150's.

Rather than waiting for the next round, I'm in at mid-stream. I've been having a hard time staying under my calorie target for the past two weeks, so this will be good motivation.

06/15
06/16 216.2 -- My lowest weight so far but Happy Scale says my moving average is 215.8 -- not sure how that happens. Yesterday was good; I had two pints, mindfully ate delicious enchilada suizas leftovers and still stayed under my target.
06/17 216.2 -- Zumba today. Had a big old cheeseburger last night. I'd been craving it and fit it into my calories. Need to be on target all weekend as I have two food events next week.

Round 5 - 141.4
Round 6 - 143.6
06/12 142.2 No alcohol yesterday and under carb limit
06/13 142.8
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 myself!
06/17 141.8 My husband is the cook in the house and our meals are rarely healthy. So I try to make the best of it on a daily basis. Instead of 3 slices of pizza last night, I had one slice and a salad. Had too many drinks though so too much calories, carbs and sodium yesterday.2 -

06/12 - 171
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.
06/17 - 170 - did 35 on the elliptical yesterday and 36 minutes this morning! 4 days of exercise this week up from 3 last week. Did a lot of walking as well...well, a lot, is relative. My job keeps me pretty sedentary but had to walk up 6 flights of stairs due to a broken elevator.

06/16 - 133.6 don't think it's going to stay there. But love the downward direction of the scale. Logging and mindful. And getting back into my workout routine at home.

I was expecting my weight to fluctuate back up. That's just how my weight works. I also had a ton of sodium yesterday so I'm happy that it's only a .4 lb fluctuation and not more. Going to eat low sodium today and drink a lot of water to hopefully get back down by tomorrow.2 -

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!
06/17 - 184 lbs Yesterday ended up being date day didn't eat healthy or exercise, but made it under my daily total. This morning I did cardio for 30 minutes walk and run combos before finishing off with weight training.

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.
