Thank you, Cyranda, for keeping this going! It really, REALLY helps!
Round 8/1: HW 274 LW 269.8 MidW = 271.9
Round 9/2: HW 269.4 LW 266.8 MidW=268.1
Round 10/3: HW 269 LW 266.4 MidW = 267.7
Goal for this week is to start exercising. I see the Dr. on the 25th and told myself that after that will will start regular exercise here in the house.
Day / Weight / Comments
7/22 265.6 -- A brand new number to start the challenge! First time seeing that five! A little surprised since we had ham for supper but sodium for the day was still between 1500 and 2300.
7/23 265.8 -- Staying with 265 even after ham one night and soy sauce the next. I really expected to hold onto some water. The scale is toying with me. ;-)
7/24 265.4 -- When I look up at the ranges for the two previous challenges, this make me really happy. Keeping within calorie goal is definitely working!
7/25 266 -- Up a touch but that's okay. I've been keeping under on calories but was a bit over on sodium. Seeing the dr. later today.
7/26 266.2 -- Today I need to start exercising. I promised myself I would start today. I've gotten good at staying within my calories. Let's see if I can do the same with exercising.

Last round 7/21: 180.5
Goal this round 175
7/22 - 180
7/23 - 178.5!
7/24 - 177 ::happy dance::, getting closer to my goal for this round! I don't think I ate enough yesterday though. I wasn't hungry by the end of the day so that was good but we will see what happens today. I won't be too upset if it bumps up a little tomorrow if I eat the proper amount of calories
7/25 -178
7/26 - 177 again! And I ate cake for my birthday yesterday

7/26 - 165.4 - LOL...I knew I wasn't going to get past 165 altogether. I'm already under my goal for this round though, so I'm good. There's a bacon wrapped hot dog with my name on it at the ballpark tonight, so gotta get some extra exercise in today.

R10: 251.2
GR11: 248
7/22: 250.8
7/23: 250.8 (not a loss but at least its not a gain)
7/24: 249.4 (Yay!!! I reached 25lbs lost!!!)
7/25: 249.6 (maybe I should weigh myself before I do strength training?)
7/26: 250 (I don't understand. I ate very low in cals...weighed myself before working out...even ate low in carbs and sodium...so why is there a gain? I am sore from leg day from the day before so maybe its because my muscles are tense?...idk that's just weird tho. There better be a big whoosh coming.)

Goal for R11 = under 195.0
Day / Weight / Comments
7/22 - 197.3 Up today. As long as the trend is down I can handle the fluctuation. Hello Weekend!
7/23 - 196.9 Busy day yesterday, outdoor work, also a few good workouts, including C25K W3 D3. Pizza for dinner, but still under calories overall for the day.
7/24 - 196.4 30.0 pounds down in 29 weeks. Happy dance!
7/25 - 196.4 okie dokie. Started on a big old spiral sliced ham last night so I am upping my sodium. Better keep sweating. Day 1 of C25K Week 4
7/26 - 194.7 It feels like the numbers 4 and 7 are transposed. I double checked my eyes. I expect to go up the next few days as I usually do when woosh happens. But I have eaten lightly the last few days - it's been so darn hot and I have no ice cream in the house to cool me off. A few days of poor appetite won't hurt me.

Round 11 (R3 for me)
Original start weight 155
Current weight 134.6
Goal weight for R11 132.6
Ultimate goal weight 128
7/22 134.4 Tiny loss, better than nothing. No real plans this weekend, so that should help to keep things in check.
7/23 134.6 too much processed food today.. and no exercising, tho my toddler is sick so cuddles with her are more important today.
7/24 133.8 Nice! Went over my calories with dinner yesterday, got in a late walk to just get me under for the day. Happy to see a loss! Toddler still sick
7/25 134.4 Not sure why I have a gain today, maybe too high of sodium yesterday.. under calories yesterday and exercised. I do have a cold now, courtesy of my daughter, so I’ll blame it on that. Hope today goes better and I feel better!
7/26 135.2 Ok what the hell is going on?! Does being sick make you hold onto water or does taking Tylenol/Ibuprofen? I've been under calories both days and exercised and still gaining. Getting very frusterated. And I still feel like crap
Jennie,
Not sure about retaining water from a cold but I do know that Tylenol constipates you. You are not really that much over your start weight either, just a half pound and that could be 8 ounces of water. Don't get discouraged if you are eating properly you are in control. It will come off.
It's just getting annoying... clothes are still fitting the same and I don't feel any heavier, so I assume it has to be water weight. After my post I Googled about water retention from Ibuprofen/Advil and it did say it does cause water retention. "Kidneys tend to retain extra salt & water under the influence of ibuprofen" I might take a break from weighing til after this cold passes, I know it's silly since it's probably just water, but seeing the scale continue to creep up is bugging me.2 -

7/25: 353.0 Meh, stayed under macros tho.
7/26: 352.8 I exercised, drank 88 oz of water and spent several hours outside in the heat. I indulged in homemade chili cheese fries, but did not go back for seconds. I stayed under calories, but I need to watch the sodium intake.

End R7: 215
End R8: 213.6
End R9: 213.8
End R10: 209.4
Goal R11: lose 1 lb.
7/22: 209.4 -- under calories and worked out yesterday. A friend is coming in from out of town this weekend.
7/23: 210 -- over calories yesterday but worked out. Arms are sore.
7/24: 213.8 -- posting this for accountability but it's probably inaccurate since I weighed after having coffee and a bite with my friend this morning and seeing her off. Over calories yesterday, but I walked quite a bit more than usual. Even though we hit two restaurants yesterday I ate and drank less than I would have a few months ago, so I'm calling it an NSV.
7/25: 213.2 -- blergggghhhh. Under calories, worked out yesterday.
7/26: 213.2 --under calories, worked out yesterday. So frustrating.

R8 SW 160.2
R9 SW 157.8
R10 SW 156.8
R11 SW 155.6 Goal for this challenge = NO SELF-SABOTAGE!!!
Final Goal weight: maybe 98 lbs? -- not really sure (sm. boned & petite)
4'11", female, 55 years old
7/22 155.6 Yay!!! Stayed under in calories & did 50 push-ups (10 reg. floor, 10 bent knee, 30 wall) & 20 triceps dips.
7/23 154.4 I'm so happy! I just hope that I don't do the self-sabotage thing, again.
7/24 154.4 Yay!
7/25 155.8 Stressful day, yesterday. Yes, self-sabotage, but not as bad = Don't know why I HAD to have chocolate covered peanuts & honey roasted cashews. I'm calling it self-sabotage because -- it was a craving, but I still did it even knowing..................... actually went to a store & bought them. Not like they were sitting around.
7/26 155.8 Gave blood, yesterday. Was not planned & 1st time to do this. Didn't know that I would practically pass out & have to eat & drink additional calories... oh well. Could have been worse & I'm glad that I did it.

Round 11--SW 230.3
Round 7--SW 229.7 EW 228.3 Weight loss/gain: -1.4
Round 8--On vacation
Round 9--SW 235.6 End 230.3 Weight loss/gain: -5.3 (vacation water weight)
Round 10--SW 230.3 EW 230.3 Weight loss/gain: 0
07/22--229.9 Goal for the next 10 days is to stay out of the 230's. Went on a hike today, we'll see what the scale says tomorrow.
07/23--228.8 Hopefully this will stick.
07/24--229.4 Totally surprised. Had a lot of salt yesterday and went over my calories by about 1000. Still under 230. It may catch up with me tomorrow, but happy with the small increase today.
07/25--228.8 Drank a lot of water yesterday to help counter with the excess salt I had the day before...I guess it helped. I'm making sure to drink a lot of water today as well.
07/26--227.9 I'm keeping up with the water drinking. Also, the fact that I haven't done any weightlifting this week also accounts for some of the larger than normal weight loss.

About half way through Summer are you where you wanted to be?
Yes!
I started out on October 23 at 211 lbs. I'm only 5'5 so that put me well into obesity. I've lost almost 50 lbs now. I'm still not where I want to be, but I feel great about where I am and all I have accomplished. Next summer I should be at goal so I look forward to that!
Awesome!!! Way to go!!3
