Round 7 Start 136.1 End 134.5
Round 8 Start 134.5 End 133.5
Round 9 Start 133.9 Goal 133.5
I'm in!! My goal for this round is actually to maintain my weight. We have a long holiday weekend and I know it will be filled with temptation. I am going to try to get some workouts in, but this morning it's pouring rain and an inside workout is so hard.
Day Weight Comments
07/02 - 133.9
Not a horrible gain...I am being mindful of calories this weekend, but also eating way over my budget. My goal is to end these 10 days no higher than the end of round 8 ... 133.5
PS - I did get that workout out in 3.5 miles outside in the pouring rain!!!
07/03 - 137.4
Overnight! Yesterday and today I am not counting calories. Yesterday got a little more out of control than I had hoped ... 10 day goal is to wind up where I ended round 8 - 133.5 - I have to keep reminding myself
07/04 - 137.1
The key for me is to stay away from the appetizers!! I'm down a bit from yesterday and now I hope to spend the next 7 days getting back to 133.5.
07/05 - 137.6
I truly had good intentions yesterday Of getting back on the wagon after the long holiday weekend … Then my neighbors came over at 10 AM for coffee and it turned into a day of swimming, eating leftovers, ordering pizza and drinking beer. It was a fun day, but I seriously need to buckle down to get back to my starting weight for the round. Headed out now for my workout!!
07/06 - 135.2
Got in a great 5 mile workout yesterday and stayed under calories. No workout partner today so it may be harder to get it in, but I will!! Still have a goal of getting back to my start weight for this 10 days!!
07/07 - 134.4
Headed in the right direction ... 1 more pound to go to reach my round 8 start weight and my goal for 7/11. BUT now the weekend ... I don't usually workout Saturday and Sunday, but I'm shooting to this weekend to get some extra calories.
07/08 - 134.2
Still moving slowly down ... I was over calories a bit yesterday, but when I wanted to binge I kept myself under control, major win for me!!! Today is a new day tho and my anniversary so I'll likely eat lunch or dinner out.
07/09 - 134.7
Gotta make today a good one!! 2 more days to get back to 133.5
07/10 - 135.5
not happy with this #, but it's my own fault. Went about 1000 calories over yesterday and no exercise. I was hoping to maintain this round, but it looks like I'll probably gain.
07/11 - 136.4
I knew this was going to be a tough 10 days, but I hate seeing my weight go up so much. I ended round 8, 3 pounds lighter. Now my round 10 goal will be to get back to my round 8 End weight 133.5.3 -
07/02: 135.4
I started yesterday with a HIIT workout and I've found that exercising 1st thing can put me in a healthy state of mind for the day. That being said, yesterday my friends and I threw a going away event for a soldier who is being shipped overseas for a year and I ate waaaay too much. I guess the moving around and setting up made a difference though.
07/03: 135.4
They built a new organic grocery store by our house and I went in and sampled a bunch of dairy free goodies like a bad girl. So I went over my cal count a bit. Did lunges and planks yesterday too.
07/04: 135
Today we went on a rainy 4 hr hike, as my husband didn't have to work on U.S. Independence Day. Came home and passed out and now we are both exhausted.
07/05: 135.2
The annoying life that is my plateau. I guess I should just be grateful that I have lost so much weight to begin with and suck it up. I just got to keep pushing on.
07/06: 134.6
Trying not to get overly excited when I get to this point because it always seems to go back up. Just going to accept it for the number that it is and see what tomorrow holds. Yesterday I only went on a short walk and wasn't that active. I'm starting to feel like maybe my fluctuations into this number are hormonal.
07/07: 133.6
So I got off and on the scale like 50 times this morning. I always weigh in the exact same place, before eating, after peeing, when I first get up. I have never been this low. Magical formula to weight loss? I went back to what I was doing at the beginning of this process. Prepping meals ahead of time and leaving myself a few calories to splurge with. At least...I'm hoping this is magic and not just some fluke.
07/08: 134.4
Meh. Guess it was a fluke? Any way, today we are having a cookout at my house. So glad we are in control of the main course because I know it will be healthy (grilled coconut shrimp and pineapple skewers) and also we made a fruit platter with watermelon, blueberry, and strawberries and some lemon parmesan broccoli in foil for the grill. I also made sure there was a healthy "dessert": Coconut water and berry home made popsicles. Guests are sure to bring other unfortunate goodies, so I thought I would take care of myself :-) Plus who doesn't want a change from burgers?
07/09: 134.6
So I ate super healthy yesterday and I still went over my calorie count yesterday because someone brought tomato pie (which, if you've never had it, don't knock it...AMAZING). As soon as they left I threw that high cal, high bad carb, high bad fat dish in the trash because I knew I would be up at 2 AM chowing down on the leftovers. But again, it was so worth it.
07/10: 132.2
omgodomigodomigod! I seriously don't know what happened. I did 2 15 min sessions of HIIT yesterday, maybe that was it? I stayed within my calorie count too. Wow. :-o
7/11: 133
I knew this would happen. I ate my first Big Mac in a year yesterday. Blegh.4 -

Day Weight Comments
07/02 265.6 Dad came over for the weekend, I insisted all we do was eat fast/junk food. Completely my fault. I did however order Beef & Broccoli instead of General Tso's!!! Deffo a NSV for me!
07/03 264.6 Surprised I lost a pound, Feeling super bummed I didn't log in originally on the 2nd, goal for this round is to get in the 50's. I felt like since I was so good and lost 6ish pounds in my R1, that if I lost anymore that month it would be unhealthy/going off too quick!
07/04 Did not weigh myself, probably too ashamed.
07/05 265.6 Well baby I’ve been here before, I’ve seen this room and I’ve walked this floor. It could have been worse, walking today so I am definitely excited to see the scale finally go down. No more holidays!! Baby steps. . .
07/06 266.6 Took a stroll on the beach, my stretchy pants inner thigh gave out and my leg is raw TOM is here, so not really surprised I went up!
07/07 265.6 Not too happy with my scale/the floor, having my TOM makes it 10x worse. . . Going to just eat okay and by round 4 I should be back on the train!
07/08
07/09
07/10
07/11 Was away with no scale.
This round was a complete bust, I always become unmotivated after getting bloated/crampy. Hopefully The next 2 rounds I will be in the 50s!! Congrats to everyone who stuck it out!! Gym tonight [if all goes to plan], and waterrrr!!3 -
I ended up exactly where I started this week too, and the last several days I doubled my usual steps. Lol We've got this! [/quote]
@nikki062181 Thanks Nikki for the encouragement, I'm ready for a drop, look at these numbers from Round 8 and Round 9, I ended the same but definitely trending downward! Sometimes we have to look at the bigger picture
6/22: 204.2
6/23: 203.8
6/24: 204.8 didn't go over my calories, certain it's salt but still sucks.
6/25: 204.2 meh
6/26: 204.4 I did so well last round I'll probably hold steady this time. As long as I stick to the plan I'm good.
6/27: 204.2 hmmm
6/28: 203.6
6/29: 203.6
6/30: 203.6 LOL now that my weight has finally stopped bouncing around I think it's time to drop!

07/02: 258.2 (please go down from here...i have been going from 258-261 for the last week and a half. Hopefully it's bye bye 260s for good!)
07/03: 257.2
07/04: 256.8 (so far so good)
07/05: 256.2 (18lbs lost in 6 weeks! That's 3lbs a week on average! Whoa mama!)
07/06: 256.2
07/07: 256.6 (had soup with a lot of sodium in it yesterday so makes sense)
07/08: 255.4 (almost at the 20lb mark!!!)
07/09: 255 (yesterday was a bad day for me. My ankle was sore so I couldn't workout and I ate pretty badly so I am shocked to see the scale move down but from past experience I am not betting if I go down tomorrow but we shall see.)
07/10: 255.8 (yep I knew it. Hopefully tomorrow will be better)
07/11: 255.6 (my tom is here so hopefully by the end I will go down more than this but still overall good. Nearly 3lbs lost in 10 days!!!)

I'm in. Weight 07/01 = 271 -- but I did see 269 once during last week. This week's goals -- no take out Chinese after twice last week and more days with SIX as the second digit! There will be at least one hefty meal for the holiday weekend: a rib-eye and a large russet are calling my name from the fridge.
Day Weight Comments
07/02 269.4 -- Huzzahs! She starts the race with a six as second digit! Now starts the inexorable battle to hold on!
07/03 268.8 -- Diligence in weighing and logging pays off!
07/04 268.2 -- Still headed in the right direction. Tonight, though, is the big holiday steak with the even bigger baked potato. I expect to have an overage that will need paying off!
07/05 267.8 -- despite humongous ribeye (very rare, thank you) and ginormous baked potato laden with copious amounts of butter and sour cream, managed to stay within my calorie target on a holiday! Huzzahs to me!
07/06 266.8 -- calories over due to snacking last night to be deducted from today so I can continue this downward motion!
07/07 266.8 -- holding steady. Despite needing to lower calorie goal to match lost pound and having to subtract calories for the previous day's overage, still stayed in calorie limit. So no quick calories to carry to tomorrow.
07/08 267.0 -- Well, you can't lose every day. No real explanation. Probably a little extra salt yesterday. Still, 4 pounds down since the beginning of the month! No complaints here!
07/09 268.8 -- Copious amounts of Kung Po chicken from the take out joint. It is nice to see that even a sodium blow out and I still am in the 260s.
07/10 269.2 -- Must remember, it takes a couple days to stop holding water after the salt bomb of take out Chinese! No getting discouraged now! Last challenge at this point I was in the 270s. Now it's still 260s (but barely)
07/11267.8 -- Back almost to pre-Chinese take out weight. But time to look at the recent 10 days and draw some conclusions. I stayed in the 260s EVERY day -- even with takeout. I'm still staying under EVERY DAY although the mental fight is getting harder. Ready for the next 10 day challenge!
THANKS FOR THE COMPANIONSHIP, FELLOW 10-DAY CHALLENGE FOLKS! See you in the next one!!

7/9 108.6 (1700 kcals) - Need to consume 1500 kcals but can't seem to keep it down.
7/10 108.7 - Oh no only 2days to go!!! 10 days passes so fast. Guess I will go for "maintenance"
7/11 107.5 (1550 kcals) - Although kcals are closer to goal -This is not real but I'll take it. AirCon has been out for

7/6 - 157.8 I am so happy with this! I thought that I was above where I started that last round...after being on vacation.
7/7 - 157.8 Wow. Exactly the same as yesterday. I am happy with this, too, as yesterday was very stressful & I blew it big time, last night!
7/8 - 156.2 Yay! I ate just under 2,000 calories, yesterday, so was not expecting a loss! i must have been eating waay more than that while out of town and the last couple days. I hope that I can stick with this weight & maybe drop down a tad more to reach my goal of 156.0 for this round...
7/9 - 157.0 Aarrgghh! And, I had a pretty good day as far as calories went... Only a couple days to meet my goal for this round.... I dunno.... today there's a brunch scheduled. Help!
7/10 - 157.6 Maybe the extra food from when I was out of town is catching up & from Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I did pretty good yesterday & the day before with dieting...
7/11 - 157.6 Oh well. I had another pretty good day, yesterday. But, must and can do better.
Best wishes to all!

End R7:215
End R8: 213.6
Goal: to maintain. I have a beer festival on 7/8. An annual tradition: Two days of drinking and eating I'm not willing to compromise on.
07/02: 213.6 -- under calories, worked out. Very sore today.
07/03: 211.8 -- shocking. Slightly over calories yesterday, did a light workout. Still sore.
07/04: 213.8 -- Knew it was too good to be true. Starving all day yesterday, overate but exercised and had only one beer.
07/05: 213.8 -- Over calories yesterday but only by about 50, exercised.
07/06: 213.2 -- under calories yesterday, worked out. Tomorrow begins the beer fest weekend. I have workouts planned to take with me that I can do in B&B room.
07/07: 213.2 -- I was hoping to be down more as a buffer for this weekend. Sigh.
07/08 -- out of town, no scale.
07/09 -- out of town, no scale
07/10: 217 -- predictable, but oooooof.
07/11: 213.8 -- I'm calling this a successful round. Onward and downward.

07/02 - 225.8. Big jump from yesterday (by 2.7 lbs). Oops. bw eating horrible and staying up until 4 am making deliveries I was expecting a jump. Just not this bad.
07/03 - 223.6. Bye bye water weight and hello good night sleep.
07/04 - 222.8 lbs
07/05 - 222.2 lbs it was a rough day yesterday. Put my poor sweet kitty down (cried like a baby) then proceeded to work until 1:30 am. I managed not to go crazy and eat everything in sight and stayed under cal. *sigh*
07/06 - 221.2 lbs
07/07 - 220.8 lbs - goal reached!! now to see if i can see the 210s.
07/08 - 220.8 lbs - ate lots of salt last night...like 10 pm snack on instant potatoes bad. still only went 80 cal over though.
07/09 - 219.3 lbs - using bfs scale so don't trust this number but it's nice to see the 210s again for the first time in a long time time.
07/10 - 218.8 lbs - I guess his scale didn't lie. Firmly in the 210s now for the first time in 3 years!
07/11 - 219.2 lbs - not bad considering I had a burger and fries last night AND a glass of wine. I tried to make up for it by going for 6 km walk afterwards.4 -

07/02 - 137 YIKES!!! This is a good reminder why I don't eat the way I did last night on any kind of regular basis! It tasted better than it felt. And I knew while I was eating that I would regret it in the morning. Lesson learned. And I have already repented and ran 5 miles this morning. Hopefully it won't take the entire challenge to get back to where I was and a little less (I hope). Shameful
07/03 - 133.8 Much better. Forward, March! So to the speak. Got in my gym workout today. May try and squeeze in another tomorrow before Independence Day celebrations. Happy and safe 4th of July everyone.
07/04 - 133.8 Went to the gym this morning and minding my eating so far on this holiday.
07/05 - 133.2 woohoo!!! I am thrilled. Going out of town the last 4 days of this challenge. Would love to get 133 to stick. Today is a rest day (always dangerous). But will be pounding the pavement tomorrow morning in the hot Florida heat. Always trying to be mindful with eating. Happy hump day all .
07/06 - 133.8 YoYo
07/07 - 133.6 slow and steady wins the race. Staying in the 133's . At the gym now. Going away this weekend. Maybe no scale. Always mindful
07/08 - 135.2 that's what I saw at 4:45 in the morning as I was trying to get ready to go the airport. But not surprised after Happy Hour w/friends last night! And so far no scale until Wednesday. Wish me luck. Mapped out my running route for tomorrow . Always trying!
07/09 - no scale (just prayer) I am doing my best visiting Philadelphia with what I eat. Trying to eat, enjoy and not overindulge! Got a great 5.25 mile run in on the Schuylkill Banks. Beautiful place and beautiful weather. Happy Sunday, Funday all!
07/10 - no scale. It's my anniversary and I'm out of town! How bad can it be when I get home? I worked out today. But did enjoy my dinner tonight. We will see when I get home Wednesday. Yikes!!!
07/11 last day no scale. Ran 4 + miles this morning. Headed home tonight. Weigh in tomorrow. Ready for round 10!2 -

Round 8 ending weight: 166.8
Goal for this round: 165.8
07/02: 166.6 - right direction, but yesterday I went over my calories and I'll be off work for the next couple of days which always disrupts my schedule.
07/03: 165.6 - I'm guessing I'm losing some water weight. Let's see if I can't try to maintain this or get below it.
07/04: 165.2 - over 20k steps yesterday and under calories.
07/05: 166.0 - didn't get much sleep last night and I was slightly over calories yesterday. back to the grind.
07/06: 166.8 - I've been doing this since October and it's still hard to see an uptake on the scale when I know I've been doing everything right even though I know it's water weight.
07/07: 167.2 - up two pounds from Tuesday now. let's hope this starts falling off soon.
07/08: 167.4 - had a bit of a mental break over this.
07/09: 166.6 - starting to finally drop down.
07/10: 166.0 - I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings. My weight has been up and down a lot this challenge.
07/11: 166.0
Missed goal by .2 lbs. Would've liked to have lost more, but it is what it is. See y'all next round!2 -

07/10: 131.8 lbs I have no clue how this happened! I'm thrilled
07/11: 133.8 lbs This round was tricky, had migraines off and on all week, so I was either not eating or overeating and you can definitely see it.1 -

Round 9--SW 235.6
Round 7--Start 229.7 End 228.3 Weight loss/gain -1.4
Round 8--On vacation
Went on vacation for two weeks. Had a great time. The scale showed a 7.3lb gain, I thought it would be a lot more, but I know a lot of it is water retention, messed up sleep schedule, and extra salt from all of the restaurant meals. Ready to get back to regular eating and exercising. My goal for this round is to get back down to or close to my pre-vacation weight.
07/02--235.6
07/03--233.4 Vacation water weight loss
07/04--230.3 More water weight
07/05--230.6 I think most, if not all, of the water weight from my vacation is gone.
07/06--229.2
07/07--228.6 All water weight loss. I'm pretty surprised how quickly the water weight is coming off.
07/08--228.1 I am shocked that I reached my goal for this round, hopefully it will stick for the rest of the round. Usually when I've gone on vacation and put on weight it's been so difficult to get back into my regular eating habits and I give up on my weight loss. So this is really exciting.
07/09--228.1 Keeping steady. Would love to see the 227's before the end of this round.
07/10--229.4 Not sure where that came from, just a normal weight fluctuation. The only thing I can think of is that I didn't have a great sleep last night because I was a little stressed about going into work this morning after being off for 3 weeks. Worried about any possible messes I may be coming back to when I return to work. Tonight I will be starting back with my weightlifting, so I'm expecting an increase at tomorrow's weigh-in.
07/11--230.3 Weightlifting water retention. It was great to start back up with my weightlifting again after taking off the last 3 weeks.
I'm very happy with this round. I was able to get back into my healthy eating and working out as soon as I got back from my vacation. Usually it takes me much longer to return to my regular schedule, but this time I was able to get back at it as soon as I got back home and that was a mental victory for me.2 -
Back again!! I enjoy my daily check ins here. Keeps me on track and motivated to move beyond daily fluctuations.
SW in March 182.4
GW - 150 and then reassess how I feel
07/01 - coming in from Round 8 - 157.3lbs
07/02 - 159.4lbs - again on my Mom's scale. Celebrated Canada Day with too much good craft beer and some very salty ribs I'm going to pay for over the next few days. But no regrets!!
07/03 - 160.8 - I'm not sure what happened to my post from yesterday...I probably forgot to hit post reply...d'oh!
07/04 - 158.2lbs - getting back on track after a long weekend of indulging
07/05 -159.4lbs - here goes my bouncing ball...rings are tight this morning, so I'm retaining something. I ate fantastic yesterday and was very active at work and went for a trail run when I got home.
07/06 - 159.4lbs - bloated and constipated...ugh...feel yuck even though I've been eating the way I should and being active....
07/07 - 159.0lbs - taking longer to get past one long weekend than it did my cruise vacation. I'm going to stay on track this weekend so I can head back down to where I was last week before it all fell apart....no beer for me!!
07/08 - 158.0lbs - TOM snuck on me yesterday (thanks Peri-menopause!!) So some of the yuck I've been feelin must be hormonal. At least there was a drop on the sccale this morning...
07/09 - 158.4lbs - here I go bouncing around the same pound and a half....
07/10 - 158.0lbs - Yesterday I walked 9 holes with my clubs, did a new kettlebell work out I'm feeling today and ate super well. I feel great this morning even though this is the first give me 10 that I will probably not show a loss from the end of the previous round.
07/11 - 156.6lbs - Holy Post TOM Water Whoosh Batman!!! I think I peed every half hour yesterday....showing today on the scale. I was pretty sure wouldn't show a loss this round but I did...YAY ME!!!
See you all on the Round 10 thread!!3 -
Round 9
SW: 164.4
GW:161
07/02-164.4
07/03-162.8 I hit my 20lb marker woohoo! Half way to my goal before reevaluating.
07/04-163.2 I decided to splurge lastnight since I was already over on calories and knew I would be home for the holiday, so I could control what I ate.
07/05-162.8 I'm starting to figure out this whole up and down weight mind game. I'm in 3 challenges so I can't remember which one I read it on.... Anyone struggling with the scale please download the trending app, I'm Android so I use Libra and then Read about squishy fat and woosh you will be amazed. I know I feel so much better about facing the scale everyday now!!!!
07/06- 161.6 woohooo just have to keep the number the same and I'll be ok
07/07-162.8 seems to be my lucky number this round haha but I'm ok with it.
07/08-163.4
07/09-163.4 darn weekends. 2 days left woohoo and back to work, I should hit my goal!!!
07/10-161.6 recovered from my lazy weekend and was more active yesterday around the house. Now gotta keep it there for tomorrow.
07/11-161.2 woohoo that's as close as goal I could imagine lol love it
See everyone next round and congrats to everyone for staying true to yourself. Whether it was a lose, gain, maintain or just back to the weight u started the round with.3 -

Next Goal: 159 ... At a slow rate
End of R8: 169.8
07/02 - 168.1 > Lots of walking today
07/03 - 169 - Pedicure and a haircut pretty much a rest day, didn't even hit my step mark. I'm ok with that but a little dissapointed I didn't hit my daily goal.
07/04 - 168.4 Got my steps in... Happy 4th to all my America friends!!
07/05 - 168.7 SO is home for a week or so, let's see if I can hold steady!!

07/08 - 171
07/09 - 169.3
07/10 - 172.0 .... Well been out of town and enjoying some nice meals with little excercise, I know that this should be water/ sodium related so if I get back to my calorie counting and 15,000 steps I should be ok. But EEEEEKKKKK!!!
07/11- 170.2 Well looks like I it was a maintence week. Busy week too

Round 8 SW 253
Round 9 SW 248
07/02 247.6 Went jogging this morning and ran a 14 minute mile. Best this year! So tired though. Too much overtime.
07/03 247.0 I'm grateful/horrified that I'm both too tired to resist impulsive eating and too tired to actually go get anything unhealthy. Go me for planning ahead for weak times, and not having anything on hand.
07/04 246.8 Well, I made a cake for a holiday pot luck at work. Mindless batter eating. Oops. Will have to go for a run tomorrow to mitigate the sugary intake! Still, good day! Got to sleep in.
07/05 248.2 Saddness! OK, no, not really. Had my holiday splurge and it was great. Didn't get to go for a run either. Boo. It'll be better tonight.
07/06 246.6 Posting late. Went for a walk this morning. It was exactly what I needed. Numbers trending down again. Still, so tired. Got a few days off, going to sleep!
07/07 245.8 Not only am I almost at 20lbs lost, but I ran a 12:17 mile today and I am honestly not sure which I am more excited about! I'm lying, it's the run time! I blew July's 13 minute mile goal away!
07/08 245.0 20lbs lost! What a difference some sleep can make! I feel like a whole new person.
07/09 246.0. What do you mean I shouldn't have beef jerky and cheddar for dinner?
07/10 246.2 I've had such great, lazy days off, I ain't even worried. So well rested. It'll fall off once I get moving again.
07/11 247.8 Did a 5k this morning. I'm loving how those are just a part of my week. Can't wait for the next round. This one wasn't my best, but that's all me and I can't really bring myself to begrudge a couple pounds during 60 hour work weeks. These challenges are fantastic and I feel like they are making me far more aware and accepting of small fluctuations.3 -

Round 8 ending at 214.5 (July 1- My 1st round)
My goal is to stay within my calorie limit of 1600 & to only eat Half of my exercise calories back. I am on a 'lose 1.5 pounds a week' goal so I hope to lose 1.5-2 pounds this round. Best wishes all!
07/02-212.7- has to be a fluke. Yesterday was
214.5
07/03-213.2
07/04-212.5
07/05-213.6
07/06-213.0
07/07-213.8
07/08-213.0- have a birthday party to attend so hoping it doesn't ruin anything for too long
07/09-214.0 I blame the cake...
07/10-214.5
07/11-214.5
Over all, I didn't lose anything in the past 10 days. Just today, I have decided to switch back to losing 2 lbs a week which puts me at a calorie limit of 1350. Thinking it will motivate me to workout a little more and hoping to once again see the scale moving. I have been at the same weight for 2 months now and it's not really encouraging to be struggle this much.

R7 SW:202.2
R8 SW:199.8
R9 SW: 197
R9 GW: 195
07/02: 197lbs
07/03: 199.8
07/04: 199.6
07/05: 198.4 went down but I was bad yesterday. Ribs and beer at the BBQ and no exercise, but back on the grind today.
07/06: 197.8 back at 97 going to take a walk and do Insanity later today.
07/07: 197.8
07/08: 198.4 dang it this week isn't going the way that I wanted, but I got some good walking in today, and tomorrow I'll take another crack at it. Keep Pushing!
07/09: 197.4 this has been a strange week for me. I can't seem to coordinate my eating and water consumption with my workouts, and when I have a decent day with food, I can't get on track with working out
07/10: 196.8 yes! Once again didn't get to my normal workout, but I got in plenty of steps and stayed under my calories.
07/11: 195.2 when I got on the scale this morning I was so surprised. With the 4th of July food and drink, and then just my busy schedule this week, I was feeling out of sorts, but I made some tweaks to my diet and it's been paying off these last few days. On to round 10!
Total lost from my starting round: 7lbs2
