Day / Weight / Comments
7/12 - 178.7 - Off to a good start, but I can already feel the cravings kicking in and it's 6:30 am.
7/13 - 178.7 - No change, but I stayed within my calorie goal so I am happy with that.
7/14 - 178.6 - Better than nothing. I stayed within my calorie goal again, but I have been lazier than usual the last couple of days. I did some strength training yesterday, but no cardio. It has been crazy humid( yeah, that's my excuse
). I'm going to try to run today.
7/15 - 178.8 - Not really sure how that happened. My apple watch says I walked a total of 16,384 steps yesterday, including a 3-mile run. I stayed in my calorie limit every day this week, eating mostly clean and healthy choices. It is a little discouraging because I'm working so hard not to cheat. 178 is my body's "happy weight" when I eat a kind of healthy, but still drink alcohol and eat some junk. Ok, I'm done whining. I'll keep working, eating within my calories and upping the calorie burn through exercise.
7/16 - 177.4 - Yay! The scale moved! I was expecting a move but not that much! I went to the gym yesterday morning and ate below my calories. Just keep swimming!
7/17 - 178.7 - Big jump back up, but I was expecting it because we celebrated our anniversary yesterday. We ate delicious food and drank wine. Worth it. My goal was to not be above my R10 start weight for today's weigh-in, so I'm happy.
7/18 - 178.0 - Going back in the right direction!
7/19 - 177.4 - I'm feeling like I can break into 176 by Friday. My diet has been on point. I just need that motivation for exercise.
7/20 - 176.4 - Whoa, was not expecting this! Hoping I can drop a little more before tomorrow morning's weigh-in.

7/17 - 223.1 - Working off my weekend
7/18 - 221.9 - Feeling like I have stuffed my face today and I still have 750 calories remaining for dinner. Not sure why but I did do something different today by snacking every 2 hours after a super light lunch at 12:30 so maybe that's why. Cherries at 2:00 and hummus and crackers at 3:30. Dinner will be at 7 when my daughter goes down...then more packing. Move is Monday!
7/19 - 219.9...hmm...feel like I've been here before...
7/20 - 221 - had sushi last night....why is it so delicious!!!??? Paying for it today...lots of water!

R9 SW 197.8
R10 SW 198.9
Round 9 - my round 1 - was just up and down. I'm going to plan for down this round.
7/12 - 197.8. I'd like to see a solid 196 by the end of this round.
7/13 - 196.7 I did not drink as much water as usual yesterday. That may be a factor. However, I have been tracking closely for the last few days and my exercise is consistent. Loving C25K, but I am only in week 2. Lot's of time for that statement to change.
7/14 - 196.7 Same stuff different day
7/15 - 198.0 Stressful day yesterday. We lost water Thursday night and the end result was we had to sink a new pump yesterday. Too much eating of snack type foods. Too much eating in general. I finished C25K Week 2.
7/16 - 198.3 Ate over again. Got my 10K steps in and some extra exercise of challenges. For the week overall (Sun - Sat) I am in the green .
7/17 - 197.5 Alright, alright, alright
7/18 - 197.1 A nice result after a well behaved day. Had a normal yogurt + bran buds breakfast, a salad for lunch with chicken & cheese chunks, and for dinner a butter delight: lemon-butter-garlic chicken with mushrooms sauteed in the same pan, then butter sauteed asparagus. Two mile walk.
7/19 - 197.1 two more days to get to 196
7/20 - 197.8 Not the number or direction I wanted to see but not surprising. At work desk for 15 hours yesterday, I could see the swelling in my feet toward the end of the day. Ate a few salty things. Did not get my C25K day in so I got up this morning before work and got it completed

Your Round 10/ My Round 4
Round 7 [R1]: -5.8lbs
Round 8 [R2]: +.6oz
Round 9:N/A No scale
Round 10 GW: As much as possible
7/12 The verdict in is. . .267.4. Basically every effort I put into it has gone to poop. Now that I know where I am starting from, the goal is to get to 261
I was in a state of depression and became lazy as well, no one's fault but mine! I still have two pounds to splurge before I am back in the same spot I started off, so positive thoughts 
7/13 266.2 Slowlyyy but surely.
7/14 264.4 Ate under calories with no workout! My favorite food in the world is mozzarella, and I ate a whole ball by myself...lets just say it left as fast as it came!
Super excited to be ordering shoes to work out! Whoopeeee! Not afraid of the weekend, I am determined to lose the rest of this water weight and finally begin my life change!
7/15 266.4
7/16 264.4 **Did not see that error, wish it was true! Haha!**
7/17 268.2. . .I can feel myself losing hope. Chinese buffet, pizza slathered in BBQ sauce, no logging or exercise at all. I slipped into a mini depression; this has to be the worst round for me ever.
The only thing that is going to stop me from walking outside is rain, and I will be carrying an umbrella so it will have to rain pretty dang hard for me to not go out and walk. Booo, this sucks. Hopefully I will make it to 264 by the end of this round. I know exactly what I am doing wrong, but my body and my mind can't seem to agree on anything these days.
7/18 267.6 I stuffed my face yesterday, and it rained hard. Here is now I am going to tackle this for the remainder of R10... literally take it one meal at a time. When I get my running shoes, hopefully I will be out more again. I miss going outside and walking without my heels feeling like they're gonna shrivel up and die. Even if I maintain 267 for the rest of the round I will be somewhat okay with this. I didn't even want to post anymore this round, but y'all are like family and if anyone sees this and feels like they are alone; you are not. It is okay to completely lose all of your progress as long as you're determined to fix it!
7/19 266.6 Mindset is somewhat better, still draggin' my A along though!
7/20 266.6, no change. Not too upset to be honest about it!
7/21
Wooootie woot, y'all. Pre Friday!!
Can't believe it has been 40 days since I have been struggling to fix the error of my ways! 8 -
I'm in! This is my first round. Goal to lose 3 pounds.
Day / Weight / Comments
7/12: 204.6 - up a couple pounds. Trying to reset after over indulging.
7/13: 204.8 - bummer, but not sweating it. Way over on calories yesterday, hubby's birthday and temptation won. But it's a tiny fluxuation, back on track.
7/14: 203.8 – Woo, it feels great to see results from dedication.
7/15: At Mom’s, no scale.
7/16: 203.8 – Awesome! Adult beverages at Mom’s didn’t do terrible damage! And I’m back home staying dedicated. Added some light weights today.
7/17: 203.2 – Lost .6 pound over the weekend. Not too shabby. But I’m starting to feel impatient and I shouldn’t. Down 1.4 pounds in 5 days. Just need to keep pushing.
7/18: 202.6 - I was pretty hungry all day yesterday. Stayed within my calorie intake goal and did my walking. I'm getting sick of salads though, so I'm going to switch it up a bit today. I might go over my calories by a little bit, but I'm excited to eat different stuff. And hey, I'm down 2 pounds.... 2 very hard earned pounds! Right on track.
7/19: 202.3 - I'm happy with this. Last night I felt so drained and depleted I pretty much ate whatever I wanted. I didn't go crazy - we're talking turkey sticks, granola bars, the entire pint of halo top instead of half, bread on my burger and a big glass of milk. I felt satiated and still down! So I'd call that a win!
7/20: 201.4!!!! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I stepped on the scale this morning. I got off and back on just to make sure. Yay! This motivates me to keep going. Down 3.2 pounds. I met my 10 day goal and I’m ready for the next 10!

Round 9 - was away for Canada Day long weekend, didn't weigh
SW Round 10: 132.4
GW Round 10: 130.4
Day - Weight - Comments
7/12 - 132.4 - I was 131 for a few days before this, but up a bit today probably because of a little extra sugary dessert yesterday. Ate well today and went for a few walks but didn't get a workout in. Tomorrow I will go for a run!
7/13 - 131.4 - That's what I was hoping for, was within my calorie goal yesterday. Feeling great today! Now if I can just stay in my calorie goal today and get a workout in, it'll be a good day.
7/14 - 130.4 - Stayed with the MFP calorie goal yesterday, but not mine, which is to only eat half my exercise cals back. Feeling great today though! Got in a beautiful morning run! Now to not self-sabotage this weekend.
7/15 - 131.8
7/16 - 133.6 - TOM, yucky and bloated.
7/17 - 133.6 - Still as bloated and puffy as yesterday. Ate within calorie goal and got a 45 min workout in yesterday, so happy about that. But a little high in sugar. Retaining water, blah.
7/18 - 130.8 - feeling so much better today! jogged this morning and ate within my calorie limit yesterday!
7/19 - 131.2 - wrong direction! ate well yesterday, within calorie goal, did eat back only half my exercise calories.
7/20 - 132.0 - yep I deserved that. went 150 over my calorie goal yesterday. Went for a run and biked to work this morn to make up for it. Hoping to reach my goal by tomorrow! I will be good today.

7/12 - 145.4 at 5:00 a.m. I've been retired for two and a half years. I had to buy bigger jeans in order to go to lunch w/friends from work Monday. I cried. I swore when I lost the original 60 pounds that I would never buy bigger pants. Must fix my brain again.

Round 7 134.4
Round 8 133.8
Round 9 Last weigh in 7/8 135.2
Goal weight 132
Ultimate goal 130
7/12 - 132.8 I am thrilled! I was very conscious about how much I ate more than what I ate while I was away. Walked a heap checking things out. And worked out 3 out of 4 days I was away. I hope this is going to stick! I was in that direction before I went out to Happy Hour on 7/7 and weighed in on 7/8. Keep on keeping on
7/13 - 132.4 definitely moving in the right direction. Now comes a new challenge. I had a minor procedure today and no exercise for 10-14 days. If I can maintain throughout this challenge, I will be quite happy.
7/14 - 132.4 staying steady. No exercise for awhile. Mindful eating. Eating is 75% of the battle (so the research shows). I will keep logging. Happy Friday everyone.
7/15 - 133 I hate not being able to exercise! Maybe another 8 days. Continue to be mindful about eating
7/16 - 132.4 steady
7/17 - 132.4 This is not easy without exercise. Hopefully, a week from today i can start back!
7/18 - 132 I have not seen that number in many, many years. Amazing!
7/19 - 132.2 I did not even realize I was at my goal yesterday because I am so fixated on not gaining because I can't exercise. So upward and onward to my ultimate goal, which I prob will change in the next round to 129. I know it's only 1 pound, but it gets harder the closer you get. And I have not been in the 120's since I was a much younger woman. We will see if it is attainable.
7/20 - 132.8 boo! Had Chinese food last night, probobly didn't help. And now I am going away for the weekend and no scale. I was so hoping to be in the low 132's. I just have to keep working at it, with no exercise maybe for another week. Disappointing5 -

End of Round 9: 133
Goal for Round 10: 132
Day / Weight / Comments
7/12: 133
Well at least I didn't go up. I had my niece stay over last night and she is used to eating super unhealthy. So yesterday and today has been one of those days where we've been eating healthy for her but unhealthy for us. Just relieved that we have been really active. Because 11 year olds. I love her but I will be glad to not be awakened at 6 on my day off by someone staring at me and asking for food.
7/13: 132.2
I walked over 10,000 steps with my niece yesterday doing various chores and running errands. I guess that plus Aqua Zumba and a short walk with the dog balanced out the slight calorie overage. Let's just keep this off for the next 8 days so I can make my goal!!
7/14: 133
7/15: 133
No kids in the house. Less eating on the go. Less stress. Looking forward to a good workout and a good date night.
7/16: 132.6
Went out last night and watched A Midsummer Night's Dream plus ate super unhealthy. Honestly I'm surprised I lost weight. I think it might just be water because I drank a lot of it yesterday. I also did some HIIT this morning so I feel like I'm getting back on track with exercise now that everything in the house is settling down.
7/17: 134.2
Must be the totally not worth it LNS from last night. Soggy leftover burrito. Blegh.
7/18: 132.2
Yep. It was the burrito. Back down again. So happy, too. 2.2 lbs away from my goal weight! Did Aqua Zumba last night and afterwards I caught my hand in a bag of salt and vinegar chips. After about 5, I looked at the back of the bag, saw the nutrition info, and decided it wasn't worth it. Yay me! Normally I would be like "Oh well. I earned it." Hoping to remember that if you want to see results you can't just gobble them up!
7/19: 132.2
I'm finding that as I near the end, plateaus come more often and it is easier to gain back weight that I've lost. Not saying that two days of the same weight=a plateau. But most days I've been floating at 132-3 for a couple of weeks now. Would like to have another pound lost before vacation so I won't be so stressed about gaining it back. I didn't exercise yesterday. Was driving all day to my dad's house (or back home) from visiting him, but I did eat healthy.
7/20: 132.4
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that unless I'm lucky then I'm not going to make it to 132 by the end of this round. I stayed home from Aqua Zumba last night in favor of going out to dinner with my husband, who works a lot during the summer. So we went to a gourmet restaurant. I'll take the time extra .2 lbs for a nice reconnect over a meal of sweet peas, bell peppers, and snap peas with a side of Gouda cheese grits prepared by a chef.

Round 10 (R2 for me)
Original start weight 155
Current weight 138.6
Goal weight for for R10 136.6
Ultimate goal weight 128
7/12 138.8 Boo, even a little gain is annoying. I didn’t get much exercise in yesterday, perhaps that’s the culprit. Under on calories, lots of protein yesterday!
7/13 138.0 Heck yeah!! I was so happy to see that, I was due for a loss.. I’ve had a good week with small gains each day, I knew the loss was coming eventually! Had a good day eating yesterday and got 2 nice walks in. On a side note, I’ve officially been weighing myself daily for a month now and am down 7.8lb! 10lb more to go til my ultimate goal!
7/14 137.4 I feel like it’s too good to be true! Ate decently yesterday (even had a chocolate chip cookie and vodka tonic!) got in a really good walk last night after dinner! Hoping I can keep things under control this weekend.
7/15 136.8 Wow! I can't believe how I'm losing this round, I've gotta keep it up! I had a great week staying under my calories and exercising. Only .2 from my goal for this round!
7/16 no weigh in
7/17 138.0 Ugh. I guess it was too good to be true. Pool party + fair food + TOM + not enough water = a sad Monday morning. I know it’s just water and grossness, so it’ll dissipate this week.
7/18 137.0 That’s what I like to see, a nice drop after a day of lots of water, good eating & walking. I feel good about hitting my goal this 10 days.. I have a good week planned (meal wise) so I should be able to drop a little more!
7/19 136.8 Sooo close to goal! Thought I’d be down a little more today, under calories and good walks in yesterday. Oh well. I have plans for some adult beverages tonight, hopefully I can stay on track and it not affect things too much tomorrow!
7/20 135.0 Pleeeeeease don’t be a fluke! I stepped on the scale twice to make sure. I had a good day yesterday, stayed under calories (even included 3 vodka & diet tonics in my day).. got a little bit of exercise in during the day. So we’ll see what the scale does tomorrow. Side note: I’m officially down 20lb!

Round 8 - 139.4
Round 9 - 141.8
7/12 - 141.0 I think I figured out my yoyo weight by reducing carbs as much as possible. However was up for Round 9 while on vacation and a couple parties. My goal this 10 days is to drop 1 lb and end at 140.8
7/13 - 140.8 I think this is just water loss. For some reason I've had a few nights of night sweats. Not sure what's wrong...maybe my low-carb diet?
7/14 - 139.8 Hoping to stay under 140 by the end of this 10 days.
7/15 - 140.2 Too much snacking & drinks last night

R9 SW: 225.8
R10 SW: 218.2
R10 GW: 215.2
7/12 - 218.2 lbs. Big drop last round. Should probably assess my intake if this doesn't slow down (although the drop is great...just fast).
7/13 - 217.2 lbs. NSV fit into my old running jacket that I haven't been able to fit in for a long time. It's tight but just 2 months ago I couldn't even zip it up so great moment.
7/14 - 218.4 lbs....Um what? Lovely water weight surprise (I guess). Ate instant potatoes again yesterday and had a root beer float just before bed. So probably the culprit?
7/15 -no scale. At bf and his scale has given me 5 different values ranging over 5 lbs. think it's safe to just skip weigh in today.
7/16 - 218.0 lbs. Well I'll take it. Ended up eating slightly over maintenance yesterday. Was inventory night at Costco (sooooo much counting and moving flatbeds) so they brought in pizza, cookies, candy, and pop for all of us. I sampled it all lol.
7/17 - 216.8 lbs. downward ho!
7/18 - 216 lbs. Almost at my goal for this round but heading to the Taste of Edmonton (copious amounts of sample size food from dozens of restaurants around town in one small little area= food coma) on the 20th so need to concentrate pretty hard to keep this number steady.
7/19 - 215.2 lbs. Hit my goal for this round! Now lets see if I can keep it over the next 2 days. Ended up walking 21,000 steps yesterday (13.8 km) during work yesterday.
7/20 - 214.8 lbs. Nice but a little more buffer would be good for tonights fiesta. Walked 11.3 km yesterday and used up about 100 cal of the exercise points. Planning on staying under maintenance today *crossing fingers* I can do it.

Ready for Round 10 (round 3 for me). Thank you for setting this up, Cyranda!
Weight bounces around so I need a way to see the trends on successive 10-day challenges, so am choosing to look at the mid-point between the high and low of the challenge.
Round 8/1: HW 274 LW 269.8 MidW = 271.9
Round 9/2: HW 269.4 LW 266.8 MidW=268.1
I sense two major challenges for this 10-day period. One is maintaining discipline over logging and calories. Cheating the diary just prolongs the process! The other is changing my cooking habits so I am making not just lower calorie supper but less of it. I am still cooking as if I am eating for two.
7/12 266.6 -- This is the lowest weight by .2 pounds. Let's see what I can do to have this be the highest for these 10 days!
7/13 267.6 -- Ah, the days I wake up thirsty because I didn't drink as much as I ought are the days the scale gives me a swat upside the head saying, "You thought you'd be down today because you stayed within your calories! Well, I'll show you!"
7/14 267.6 -- I think the scale likes that number. Calories just within limits so downward path will resume.
7/15 268.0 -- A couple of sodium bombs yesterday. Who knew an English muffin had over 500 grams of sodium? And then for supper a yummy stuffed portobello. The stuffing? Feta. No wonder my eyes are puffy. Gotta drink more today -- throw in an extra glass of still water.
7/16 268.4 -- Starting out 471 calories in the red today because I went 471 calories over yesterday -- ON LATE NIGHT SNACKING!! I also staid up late. This is a well-established old habit that needs breaking! It's the first time I've fallen back into it for awhile. STOP mistaking sleepiness for hunger!! Especially tonight because that 471 calories is taken from today's allotment!
7/17 269 -- Still up. I managed to cancel out about 1/2 of the overage calories yesterday and should get the rest of them today. Sodium consumption has been a bit up lately but I really am staying disciplined about keeping my eating in check and recording everything in the diary.
7/18 268.8 -- At least this is ever so slightly in the right direction. The sodium numbers have been up, what with a couple meals of feta, olives, etc. in the last several days. And I've managed to completely wipe out the extra calories of a couple nights ago but it was definitely a struggle not to late-night-snack. "Ready for my WHOOSH, Mr. Demille."
7/19 267.2 -- There we go. A nice, low sodium day yesterday. Let's see if I at least get back down to where I started out this 10-day period. It really does help to have the averages above for the previous weeks to look at and remind myself that the average this time will be lower. Progress is being made even if the daily fluctuations make it hard to see. Onward!
7/20 266.4 -- Wait a second! Here I was all set to write something bland about keeping sodium in check yesterday and then I looked up top where I have my ranges and for the previous weeks. This is a new low by .4 pounds! Hooray!

Started R6 @ 177.1
First Goal: 170 ✔️
Next Goal: 159 ... At a slow rate
End of R9: 170.2
7/12 - 169.3 Got back on track and had a healthy day!!
7/13 - 166.7. Late weigh in. Before dinner. Let's see what tomorrow brings!!
7/14 - 165.9 ... I've rid some of those weekend endulgent high sodium/ water weight pounds. I really am trying to maintain.
7/15 - 165.1 ... So I've badly burned the roof of my mouth with a hot hot cup of tea. It's so bad I can hardly swallow. So I haven't been eating much. But have enjoyed some ice cream!!!
7/16 - 165.8. Too much ice cream!
7/17 - 165.4 Had a lovely hike with SO yesterday. The roof of my mouth is still very sore, hoping that in the next couple of days I can eat a decent meal! Enjoying the ice cream and yogurt though.
7/18 - 165 Fairly stable. Looks like a big jump at the start but I was up a little previous weeks. Hope to hit my steps today and am looking for a healthy BBQ grilled dinner.... Maybe grilled shrimp and veggies!!
7/19 - 165.1 Holding steady!! Hit 13,900 steps walked home from work and had a great dinner!! Walking home from work again today unless its way way too hot.
7/20 - 165.5 Walked home from work again. Tonights goal is to get 15,000 steps in, could be a challenge as I've plans tonight with a friend.
7/216 -
End of Round 9: 166.0
Goal for Round 10: 164.0
7/12: 165.4 - a nice drop. I just want to stay under 166.
7/13: 164.4 - I've been drinking plenty of water and getting a good night's rest.
7/14: 165.0 - was expecting this uptick. Had a slight cosmetic procedure yesterday so I expect I'm a little swollen and no exercise for me until Monday.
7/15: 163.6 - looks like I dropped some water weight. we'll see if it sticks.
7/16: 164.6 - totally expected. Way too much sodium yesterday and way over my calories. Gotta tighten up these next few days to make up for it.
7/17: 165.6 - way over my calories and sodium again yesterday. Spent the weekend with my SO and I find it hard to stick to my calories around him unless I prepare all our meals (which I didn't). Going to try to get back to 163.6 to end the 10 days at my lowest weight so far.
7/18: 163.8 - 12 glasses of water and I cut back a little yesterday to try to make up for my overage this past weekend.
7/19: 164.0 - normal fluctuation. although I do feel a bit 'heavy' today for lack of better words.
7/20: 163.2 - my lowest yet. looking to finish strong!

Was reading the beginning of your post. Thanks so much for the idea! I had been feeling like I was not losing much weight but then I went back to the last challenge to see where I was at. I think from now on I'm going to post my average weights for previous challenges instead!3 -
I'm back for another 10 days of checking in and understanding how my food and activity choices affect my fitness progress.
SW in March - 182.4lbs
GW - 150lbs - will reassess when I get there
7/11 - 156.6lbs -coming in from round 9
7/12 - 156.4lbs - hoping to get to 155 by the end of the round
7/13 - 157.0 lbs - I was up early for a client this morning so my "elimination schedule" was off...hopefully I'll see this gone tomorrow morning as yesterday was a great day for eating and activity
7/14 - 156.0lbs - that's better!
7/15 - 156.2lbs - on my mom's scale
7/16 - 157lbs - on my mom's scale - It was my son's 10th birthday yesterday...we went treetop trekking and ziplining, I'm pretty impressed with the fact that I'm actually fit enough to participate and not just watch from the sidelines...it was SO much fun!! Had to have some of the homemade lasagna and birthday cake...so my calories were over. This is why I've been working at getting in shape, so I can enjoy days like this...the fun active part and the food part!!
7/17 158.4lbs - bleh! Finally got a night out with Hubby to celebrate our anniversary from last week. So much good rich food, but I'm paying for it today, belly is not sure what to do with it. Lots of water and eating light today.
7/18 - 159.6lbs - on my mom's scale...hoping this is the issue. I know I over indulged on the weekend a bit but yesterday was a good day and there's no way I ate/drank 3.5 lbs worth of extra calories since my 156 day last week. Sodium, and muscle soreness are holding the water I suspect.
7/19 - 156.6lbs - big drop....partly the scale, partly water woosh. Back to where I was at the end of last round...hopefully the next couple of days will get me below 156 so I show a loss in this one. I really need to get a handle on the weekends, up to the summer I was doing really great at keeping things in check but there have been so many special events I'm losing control. This coming weekend is pretty low key so hoping to stay on target.
7/20 - 156.6lbs - just keep swimming....

Day Weight Comments
7/12 132.4 lbs
7/13 132.4 lbs. I've noticed that I will stay at the same weight for a few days, then go down more than a lb, then go up higher than where I was stuck and then back down a bit under where I was stuck and stay there a few days and start all over again. So I'm slowly losing weight in kind of a downward yo-yo pattern which seems frustrating some days until I look at the big picture.
7/14 132.4 lbs. holding steady.
7/15 131.8 lbs
7/16 131.8 lbs woohoo!!
7/17 131 lbs
7/18 131 lbs
7/19 131.4 lbs need to start working out again...
7/20 131.6 lbs creeping the wrong way!!!
