JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS| Round 8

Hello all of you beautiful people! Just thought I should stick some cliché quotes in here so we can remember to stick it out, wrap up R9/whichever round you're on, and go into the next round with good vibes only!
A goal without a plan is just a wish! 
No matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everybody on the couch! 
If you're tired of getting started, stop giving up! 
A year from now you will be happy that you started today! 
Yesterday you said tomorrow. 
Your desire to lose weight has to be greater than the desire to stay the same! 
Even if you lose 1/2 pound a week, you'll still lose 26 pounds by this time next year. Keep going!!

6/28: 257.8 (so how about that HIIT. Ate terrible yesterday (talking chocolate ice cream, cheesesteak, fries, more ice cream) and did 15 mins of my version of HIIT and voila or it could just be that I didn't drink any water after the workout but I have never lost this much in a day doing machine workouts and thats including doing hours on a machine...goes to show that working the body old skool is better than the new sometimes)
6/29: 260.4 (the 260s is trying to hold on to me for dear life. I have to get outta here before July starts ugh.)

I'm in again! Hi, all. My goal, as always, is to lose 2# in 10 days = SW 147.6 Good luck and clean eating everyone!
6/22 146.6 This is some kind of fluke as I'm down a pound from yesterday. I slept late and woke up really dry if you know what I mean. But by this I'm down 3.4 from the start of last round. My goal was 2#. Now, on to releasing the next 2.
6/23 149.6 Seriously? up over 3#! Had lunch out yesterday: 1/2 a salad and 1/2 a sandwich. Maybe water weight somewhere. Gonna drink my share of lemon water today.
6/24 147.8 Went to gym yesterday and did my routine. Delightfully sore. Today: walking track. I'm trying a new approach and entering meals, snacks, etc, for the entire day before I eat anything. If I need to change something, ok, but this gives me a plan for the day and when I get peckish I go for one of the snacks I planned on. Gives me more control over sticking to the macros.
6/25 147.6 A .2 loss seemed so small until I realized it equals a loss of 1.4 a week. I'll take it. Did the elliptical yesterday and stuck below macros on everything. Off to plan today's menu. Happy losing everyone.
6/26 147.2 Put in an hour on elliptical yesterday. Went at slower pace as I read that 60-70% of MHR is the zone where you lose weight. Today: gym. Going to go grunt. Wishing us all success.
6/27 146.6 Yes! Did another hr on ellip as well as gym. Planning my day's menu in advance is so helpful for me. It helps me see the balance, or lack thereof, in my food choices. Today: aqua arthritis and elliptical.
6/27 147 Big Sigh
6/29 147.2 Too much family drama and stress and a Snickers and French lemonade. On the bright side, 50 min elliptical and 2 hours gardening. Planning menu and sticking with it today. Stress be damned.

Goal = 133 pounds
6/22 145.0 - Need to do this!!! My clothes don't fit!!!
6/23 144.6 - walked today before it turned to 107 degrees!
6/24 144.4 - walked today before it turned to 105 degrees!
6/25 144.5 - didn't walk today and now it's too late! stinko!
6/26 144.4 - 2.76 mi. walk with dog. The Delta breezes are back in the Sacramento, CA oven, so it was only 67° when I started. A little discouraged about my weight because I have faithfully tracked that I was not consuming over 1200 calories. Think I had too much salt yesterday. I'll be drinking my 8 glasses of water today for sure!
6/27 143.7 - At last! A break from 144.4!!!
6/28 142.8 - Doin' good!!!!!
6/29 143.9 - Attended a potluck last night, so my weight is up this morning. Watched what I ate, but likely more salt that I normally ingest. I DID NOT have the strawberry shortcake dessert!!!!! Good girl!!!!!

6/24 - 228 lbs
6/25 - 227.6 lbs.
6/26 - 227.6 lbs
6/27 - 227.2 lbs - slow and steady. Also been eating over sodium so that's probably not helping.
6/28 - 226.4 lbs - stayed within cals last night but was sooo hungry all day until i ate a massive meal at night.
6/29 - 225.2 lbs - my scale died yesterday morning and i figured the drop i saw yesterday was to fix the results I was seeing for the few days before that. NOPE. A nice big drop this morning. Officially lost 20 lbs today from my starting weight set 2 years ago.

Round 7: 172.3
First goal: 170
6/22 - 171.9 > Well this was a surprise this morning!! Made the kid walk up the steepest hill in town with me.
6/23 - 172.1 < Huge after dinner hike and a Berry Protein Smoothie for dessert. Was a good day.
6/24 - 170.9 > Getting so close. Had a nice walk and (2) glasses of wine. Great evening and SO is home ❤️
6/25 - 172.0 <
6/26 - 172.4 < Ugghh a busy weekend with Wine and BBQ salads etc on both days!! I'm getting back on track and SO is away for at least 21 days ... I do amazing with my calories when he's gone. lol Hoovering above my 170 mark would like to hit this soon.
6/27 - 172.7 > Huh? Well this is the wrong direction. Thought I cut some cals and although felt lazy crawled off the couch and went for a long walk. Tomorrow is my weigh-in day lets hope this is a sodium build up. (fingers crossed lol)
6/28 - 172.2 < Working out all the weekend fun, sadly the weekend is just around the corner again. 20,000 steps last night of the biggest hills in town and hot out too!!
6/29 - 171.4 < I even had a cupcake!! BBQ tomorrow and I work in the morning so I doubt I'll fit in a long walk, Saturday I'll have to make up for it. Hope I can limit my calories and try and stay away from overly salty foods (Not a hope)

SW from R7: 215
6/22: 216.8 -- Boo.
6/23: 215.8 -- Better, esp. considering I judged a taco contest last night.
6/24: 214.8 -- zumba and music festival today. I expect this won't last.
6/25: 214.8 -- stayed under my calories yesterday, a minor miracle.
6/26: 214.8 -- Yesterday was a damn mess. I expect the scale will react over the next couple days.
6/27: 218 -- dear god. Stayed under calories yesterday, worked out, and had a good walk.
6/28: 217.2 -- At this point I'll be happy to be back where I ended R7 at by the end of this round. Maintaining isn't the end of the world, but...I have to step it up if I want to get anywhere. Under calories, stretched (very sore) and walked yesterday.
6/29: 215 -- *sigh of relief* well under calories and worked out yesterday.

6/24: 167.8! - killer workout last night.
6/25: 168.2 - take out for dinner last night. Wasn't over calories, but prob was over sodium. Also, slept in.
6/26: 167.4 - TOM is here and I feel like reheated death so that's a thing. Let's see if I can hold to 167 or below.
6/27: 167.4 - holding steady.
6/28: 167.4 - I guess at least my weight is steady?! Hoping to drop tomorrow.
6/29: 167.2 - a small drop, but I'll take it. Been struggling to stay under calories so that's today's goal.

6/22-166.0
6/23-166.0
6/24-166.0/ I was reading and seen someone mention there scale was acting winky and needed new batteries, so I thought maybe mine is too. I weighed 164 then 166 today.... So I will see tomorrow what the difference is.
6/25-166.4/ I guess the batteries were good, still hanging on to the same number. Better then going up on a weekend.
6/26-166.6/ I think I need a new scale it gave me 4 random numbers so I picked the one that was similar to other days ugh. I had an awesome moment I fit into a size 9/10 and I haven't been in that size since 8th grade and I'm not 32 woohoo
6/27-165.2 woohoo
6/28-164.8 finally back down to where I was a last tuesday! Going in the right direction.
6/29-165.4 ice cream Sunday and carne asada tacos but it was yummy

Yes a full weekend of events .... I hope to move around a lot and I am in charge of bringing the veggie trays to a few BBQ's. Will try and fill up on those and have a burger with no bun for dinner. Good luck to you and a Happy Canada 150 eh!!5 -
6/21/17 weight: 136.6 lbs
GW: 132 lbs to start with
Ultimate goal 120 lbs
6/22: 134.4 lbs I was pretty excited this morning, my scale hadn't moved for quite a while before today!
6/23: 134.2 lbs Still going in the right direction. Ate well yesterday, but didn't have time to exercise, it was a busy
day!
6/24: 133.2 lbs Getting closer, the trick will be to keep it that way
6/25: 133.2 lbs
6/26: 133.2 lbs
6/27: 133.2 lbs I seem to be in a holding pattern. Time to get a work out in!

CW:199.4 (6/21)
R8 GW: 196lbs
6/22: 199.0 still trending down
I have a hectic day ahead and wont be able to workout so I'll make this my rest day instead of Sunday.
6/23: 200.6 yeah....not only did I not workout yesterday, I was out travelling, scared to drinking too much water, and I ate this ziti pizza slice that made me feel so heavy. I also got home at around 1am which also made me groggy this morning. Not really happy with my choices right now.
6/24: 199
6/25: 197!! Out of the house all day yesterday walking the city. Woke up and had to weigh myself again I was so surprised. This week hasn't been great for my workout schedule but I was able to fill my off days with lots of activity.
6/26 Wasn't home. No weigh-in
6/27: 197.6 Up from Sunday, but I have really been slacking on working out for these last few days
Getting back on the grind today.
6/28: 197.4 going back down. Did Insanity Fit Test yesterday and saw some good improvements, went up five reps for some of the exercises
6/29: 198.4 A whole pound over night. Not happy about that, but I worked out yesterday evening and just took a walk for lunch. Trying to make a push for these last few days, especially since I'll be traveling on Sunday and unable to workout at all.

Starting weight 148
Starting weight end of Round 7 Challenge 134.4
Goal weight 132
Ultimate goal 130
6/22 - 134.8 not really sure why, but hopefully tomorrow it will be below my starting weight of 134.4 from the end of Round 7. Got in my 5 mile run this morning as the heat was rising in So. Fl.
6/23 - 133.8 wish I didn't have 1 pound swings. I want to maintain this weight throughout this challenge and end a little lighter. My goal is 1-1.5 pounds per 10 day challenge. Working hard and being mindful. Happy Friday everyone!
6/24 - 134.2 Continue to be mindful. Going to a nutrition lecture this morning. Hoping to gain some insight.
6/25 - 136.2 Does not surprise me. I had a very good full meal at Bonefish Grill last night. Back in the saddle this morning. Finished my 5 mile run and back to mindful eating. We all need a cheat meal every now and then. Happy Sunday all!
6/26 - 133.8 Makes me do a Happy Dance on Monday. The more I come back to that number, the more I know it will stick. Off to the 9:45 class at the gym. And mindful eating
6/27 - 133.6 Getting ready to go to the gym
6/28 - 133.2 I changed the batteries in my scale, so hoping that has nothing to do with the drop (but I am a leary believer). I work out hard and try to be mindful of my eating. Hoping it stays tried and true. Would love to see 133# at the end of this challenge
6/29 -134.4 Fish tacos last night! Let's hope this is not going to stick (I don't think it will). But I do have Happy Hour with a good friend lined up tonight. And only 2 days to finish strong I got my 5 mile run in. And fit into a skirt today, that hasn't fit in a long time. So, I know I am headed in the right direction. We will see, it's a lot of persistence and perseverance.

I'm just going with it...it's not Canada day without a few beers on the dock...and my brother in law is making his famous ribs. Just going to be active with the kids and get back at it next week.5 -
This is my 4th block of 10 days. A little public accountability is not a bad thing at all. That, plus seeing how others are doing, is motivating for me. As it happens I do weigh myself every day (almost) and take measurements on Mondays. My scale is a digital one that logs to the half pound.
When I came back to MFP approximately 10 weeks ago I weighed 300 lbs. I've weighed myself almost every day, taken measurements every Monday, and recorded my food & exercise every day. I'm also keeping track of days since I last had alcohol, since I know only too well that drinking (besides being empty calories) always leads to eating that has nothing to do with being hungry.
I didn't do as well as I had hoped to in the first 10 day challenge. I did better in the second 10 days. I derailed a bit in the third. The Father's Day weekend-long party didn't help. I am resolved to do better this time.
Day Weight Comments
06/21 287 lbs. My weight at the end of the last challenge
06/22 286 lbs. Good to see it going down a lb.
06/23 285 lbs. A pleasant surprise 2 days in a row with another lb.
06/24 284 lbs. Yes! The damage from the Father's Day weekend-long food & booze festival is behind me.
06/25 284 lbs. Considering things I ate yesterday no change is OK.
06/26 284.5 lbs. Weekend gain.
06/27 284 lbs Back to the grind on Monday.
06/28 283.5 lbs. My measurements (taken weekly) are down too.
06/29 283 lbs. Liking this round for sure!

It's all good. Have you seen weight trend charts? They even out the spikes that happen for everyone. If seeing the ups are getting to you, give one of those charts a whirl.
Also - you know about squishy fat and whooshes, right? If not, google it. It's an absolutely fascinating look at why there are daily ups and downs with weight loss.6 -
I'm gonna try this, again. I gained weight for my 1st Round which was Round 7.
I still believe that I can do this, though. I am going to see what I can do this Round 8 -- my 2nd Round.
I must be honest... I expect it to be higher on the first day of Round 8 (my 2nd round). But, after that... I'm hoping to be down by the end of the 10 days.
Final Goal weight: maybe 98 lbs -- not really sure (sm. boned & petite)
4'11", female, 55 years old
So, my 1st Round (R7) Start Weight: 156.4 lbs. End Weight 159.6 lbs.
2nd Round (R8): Begin Weight: 160.2 2nd Round (R8) Goal Weight: 159.2
6/22 160.2
6/23 158.2 Wow, it really helps to follow my meal plan... duh. I've already surpassed my goal for this round, but let's see if I can stick it or get down below it.
6/24 156.8 I was pleasantly surprised as I did have a package of M & M peanuts & a sm. pkg of honey roasted peanuts. I hope that I can stick at this or get lower.
6/25 156.8 I stayed under in calories, yesterday, and am happy with being the same weight. I just don't want to go up (at this point).
6/26 156.8 I either stayed right at 1200 calories or was below, yesterday. I mean, I stuck with my meal plan (which was less than 1200 calories), but had a few bites of my husband's baked potato that had chili on it..... I'm still happy with this weight, if I can at least keep it until the end of this 10 days. (I will have surpassed my goal for this 10 day's challenge).
6/27 157.6 I'm still ok with this. I had to eat 2 of my meals very late last night. Didn't eat anything all day until after 6pm & then it was just a banana & an apple. A tough, stressful day. Then, a class... so, didn't eat more until after 11:30 at night.
6/28 156.6 Stayed under in calories, yesterday, again. I am pleased with this weight for this challenge.
6/29 156.6 Exactly the same as yesterday.
6/30
7/01 No access to scale.
Best wishes to all!

6/24: 81.8kg - Wahey, several weeks of ovarian calm await! Also, I forcibly removed myself from the ice cream parlour before making a purchase yesterday.
6/25: 81.2kg - I'm very mindful that i only re-started on my diet on the 22nd, so whilst I'm enjoying the figures it's probably just all water weight coming off for now. Really hope I may scrape 80kg by the end of this round...
6/26: 81.2kg - ...as predicted! But as long as I don't actually go up I'm happy.
6/27: 81.2kg - three days in a row! Well, I've been sticking to my plan so hopefully the numbers will creep a bit lower in a day or so.
6/28: 81kg on the nose! Not exactly a huge drop but I'm happy I haven't gone back up or continued to just stagnate. Going to be particularly good today, maybe I can still make 80.5kg by the end of this...
6/29: 80.7kg! I was not hungry at all yesterday so stayed well within my limit and also avoided bread, so no bloating either. 0.2kg away from my adjusted goal, might still be within reach! Also, I can't believe how quickly these 10 days are passing, nearly July now.
6/30: 80.7kg - Pleased about remaining there because I had some mega salty crisps yesterday and I thought they may cause alllll the water weight. I'm meeting a friend at a pizza restaurant tonight so I'm hoping I can control myself and stay within my allocated calories.

Only one more day guys, come on! Stick to those plans and get moving! You can do it! 5 -

6/24 - 156.6lbs - Super Whoosh! I weighed myself 6 times and moved the scale to 3 different spots before I believed it LOL...may still not believe it until I see it again tomorrow.
6/25 - 158.2 - yep...it was too good to be true...shortcake at the strawberry festival where we went picking and sushi for dinner
6/26 - 159.8lbs - OY! Lots of factors here, but it's NOT going over calories as I've been under maintenance every day since I got back from my vacation. Went for a 25km bike yesterday and my muscles are screaming this morning and I think all the sodium from Satuday's sushi is still around. If I only weighed in on Mondays I would have no idea that I was 3lbs lower on Saturday morning and that's the weight that truly reflects my weight loss at this point. So....lots of water and fibre today to start flushing out what I'm retaining.
6/27 - 159.4lbs
6/28 - 157 lbs - back in the right direction, was feeling much less bloated by the end of yesterday.
6/29 - 157.6 - a small bounce back up...not sure why...
6/30 - 157.4 - creeping back down.

Ended round 7 at 134.5
I would like to lose 1.5 (weigh 133) for round 8!
6/22 - 133.3
6/23 - 132.1
In going to try not to get too excited about my overnight -1.2 pounds. I had three beers after dinner and I suspect that's making me a little dehydrated. It's nice to see a number even closer to goal though!! 128 is where I'd like to be. It just gives me some wiggle room to maintain between 128-130. Of course, its the weekend now and those are always tough ...
6/24 - 132.3
Did well yesterday. Stayed within calories. Looking back at the last several weekends I average 2000 calories Saturday and Sunday. My goal for this weekend is no more than 1500 each day. I do not have workouts planned so this will be an extra 600 calories over the weekend. Fingers crossed for the will power!!!
6/25 - 133.8
Well I guess that's what happens when you go 1,125 calories over your allotment for the day ... going to make today a better day. Also going to try for a 4 mile walk. Wasn't planned, but I need it. First ... coffee!!!
6/26 - 135.6
Well as predicted I'm up 3.3 pounds over the weekend. Totally my fault. Total lack of self control. Sucks!! WHY are weekends SO hard.
6/27 - 134.3
Ok a little weekend weight gone. Yesterday was easy to stay on track, Mondays usually are. Still hoping to weigh in at 133 by the end of this 10 days! Workout early today, and then a ton of errands and appointments.
6/28 - 133.4
.1 from what I started this round at, but less than my last weight for round 7 so I need to stay strong today and tomorrow and I will hopefully show a loss overall on Friday!! Today my son is having a bunch of friends over to swim and have pizza etc. I need to stay away from the junk food!!! 133 was my goal for round 8, it's within reach!!!
6/29 - 132.8
Happy with this number. If I can maintain or lose for tomorrow's weigh in I've made or exceeded my 10 day goal of 1.5lbs. So interesting to see the ups and downs of my 10 days ... now it's almost the weekend and the 4th of July holiday and grad and bday parties. I'm going to need strength!!
Hmmmm for some reason I thought tomorrow was day 10 ... adding 7/1.
6/30 - 133.0
This was my original goal for the 10 days. I should be happy, but I was 132.1 during this 10 days so I'm feeling bummed. Today I take my mom to 3 hours worth of doctors appointments and my son to one, hoping to squeeze in my workout, but if its not done first thing, I usually don't get it done. I would LOVE to be in the 132's tomorrow.

I'm in again! Hi, all. My goal, as always, is to lose 2# in 10 days = SW 147.6 Good luck and clean eating everyone!
6/22 146.6 This is some kind of fluke as I'm down a pound from yesterday. I slept late and woke up really dry if you know what I mean. But by this I'm down 3.4 from the start of last round. My goal was 2#. Now, on to releasing the next 2.
6/23 149.6 Seriously? up over 3#! Had lunch out yesterday: 1/2 a salad and 1/2 a sandwich. Maybe water weight somewhere. Gonna drink my share of lemon water today.
6/24 147.8 Went to gym yesterday and did my routine. Delightfully sore. Today: walking track. I'm trying a new approach and entering meals, snacks, etc, for the entire day before I eat anything. If I need to change something, ok, but this gives me a plan for the day and when I get peckish I go for one of the snacks I planned on. Gives me more control over sticking to the macros.
6/25 147.6 A .2 loss seemed so small until I realized it equals a loss of 1.4 a week. I'll take it. Did the elliptical yesterday and stuck below macros on everything. Off to plan today's menu. Happy losing everyone.
6/26 147.2 Put in an hour on elliptical yesterday. Went at slower pace as I read that 60-70% of MHR is the zone where you lose weight. Today: gym. Going to go grunt. Wishing us all success.
6/27 146.6 Yes! Did another hr on ellip as well as gym. Planning my day's menu in advance is so helpful for me. It helps me see the balance, or lack thereof, in my food choices. Today: aqua arthritis and elliptical.
6/27 147 Big Sigh
6/29 147.2 Too much family drama and stress and a Snickers and French lemonade. On the bright side, 50 min elliptical and 2 hours gardening. Planning menu and sticking with it today. Stress be damned.
6/30 147.4 Good grief. I'm ending up where I started. Actually higher. Started cleaning spare/junk bedroom yesterday to make room for son and grandson moving back in. Lots of up and down basement steps. Today gym and maybe Aqua. Come on, body. Let's let some of this go.
