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!!

7/8 108.6 (1600 kcals)
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

7/3 - No access to scale.

7/5 - No access to scale.
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.

07/04 162.4 o well.. I will keep going!
07/05 163.6 I am surprised it wasn't more.. w/ the junk I ate, yesterday. Back on my challenge goal. *
07/06 161.8 I am happy to get closer to 160. Most was from the 4th over indulgence.

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 -
