1/8 204
2/8 204.8 could be water as I've upped my intake
3/8 204.8- no difference better than another gain
4/8 205.2- went out with friends last - did pick a healthy option to eat but had a cheeky drink .. so I'm not surprised about the gain. Just want to start going in the other direction before the end of these 10 days. The good thing that I'm starting to make better food choices and starting to up my exercise, so that's a blessing
5/8 205.6 - still going the wrong way, disappointing
I've had a rough week too. It's been back and forth all week long. It will happen from time to time. Just don't give up!4 -
I'm back for more!!! Finished Round 11 at 143.4 which wa a sudden drop at end. My goal for this round again is to drop 1.5 #'s. I'd like to finish at 141.9 or below. Wishing all good food choices, happy movement and successful drops!
Day/Weight/Comment
8/1 144.6 Up over a pound from yesterday. Had a couple of beers and some pilaf. Below on cals but the rice and beer put me over on carbs. It seems I can't have anything like rice, potato, processed foods and lose. I haven't lost anything in the last 2 weeks. whine, whine, whine.......
8/2 144.8 Still going wrong direction. Went to gym yesterday followed by aqua aerobics class. I had a beer and hot dog and that's what's what. Lemon water today.
8/3 145.6 Up over 2#. Too many carbs for moi. Back to veggies and protein. Lemon water. The basics for me. I've been in this 143-145 range for almost a month. Something's gotta give. Off to gym today.
8/4 144.4 Stayed within macros, etc, yesterday and got to gym. Off to Aqua class today hopefully.
8/5 145.4 Sigh. Could be water weight. Going for drive up to Erie, a challenge to eat right. Spent a wonderful hour in aqua arthritis. It's so much fun and an hour later it hits me and I'm tired. At least I know it's doing something. Happy Saturday everyone.
8/6 144.6 Surprising since I ate sushi for lunch and a 5 guys little burger for dinner. Wayyyyy over on carbs. I guess fresh air and walking on beach helped. Only 4 days left and I'm still yoyo-ing the same few pounds this round again. Out for lunch today. A salad sounds good. Happy Sunday to all. If you're where weather is nice, get out and enjoy.

I've been yoyo-ing all week too. It's making me dizzy. Lol3 -

Focusing on 'where will I be in ten days if I put down the biscuits?', inspired by this thread got me back to my 'nearly there' weight of 61.2kg on July 31st.
Let's see if I can actually get there all the way this time.
Original start weight 69-70kg
Current weight on 1st August 61.2
Goal weight for R12 61kg
Longterm goal make 61kg midpoint of my weight range, not the absolute bottom
8/1 61.2kg. Still! Stayed within goal deficit. Did planks and sit-ups.
8/2 62.1kg. Sod off, water retention. Did planks and sit-ups. Kids are with grandparents for a couple of days, so took advantage of peace and quiet to do the yoga video I bought months back. Ate back all exercise calories, up to the tippy top of my MFP deficit, (except for yoga ones, because doing yoga instead of anything else around the house probably reduces my calorie burn for the hour)
8/3 62kg. Kids still away, so went out for my Cto5k walking session before my shower this morning and did my planks and sit ups. The day is off to a great start! Ate back all exercise calories except post-running stretching, but still within deficit.
8/4 61.9kg. Thighs are aching still from running nd my intense stretching session yesterday, so it's reasonable to assume that's still water. Beginning to wonder if I should change the batteries in the scale though, because a pair of jeggings that felt tight last week now feel just the right amount of loose. Surely I didn't stretch them when I decided to wear them anyway? Have done planks and sit-ups. Decided to have a day off dieting to taste-test my own culinary experiments, satisfy gnawing pre-menstrual hunger and to assist muscle recovery before next C25K day. WELL over cals!
8/5 62.4 Fair enough. Did ab exercises. Ate back exercise calories, and a little beyond, but not significantly. Much easier to stay on plan today, after having proper meals the day before.
8/6 62kg

8/4 164.4 slight uptick - did some outside of meal eating
8/5 162.0 OMAD + No meat
8/6 161.5 OMAD + No meat

I'm in! Round 11 was my first round and it helped me A LOT. Knowing I was going to record my weight every day kept me on track and accountable.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/1 189.4
8/2 190 Lots of exercise yesterday but I didn't drink enough water. I feel lighter but the scale says otherwise!
8/3 189.6
8/4 190 I ate more than usual yesterday but I'm hoping it revved my metabolism a bit and will see loss tomorrow!
8/5 189.2 I guess it worked a little. I would love to see 188. I don't exercise so I need to add that in eventually.
8/6 188.2 - Yay!!!!! I was pretty shocked when I got on the scale this morning. I changed it up yesterday and ate a lot more complex carbs. I usually try to stay below 111 but I ate almost 200 yesterday. I ended up eating less calories but still felt like I ate A LOT! I probably drank a gallon or more of water too. I think I'll do some higher carb days mixed in with my moderate carb days and see how that goes!

Hi All! I'm in yet again! 10 day chunks is perfect and I've been weighing daily since March...things bounce around a bit but it easy do see an overall downward trend when I have lots of data.
SW in March - 182.4
GW -150-I want to get here and then maintain for a bit while I reassess where I want to be weight vs fitness wise
I was down to 152.5 last round and then had some water gains with a splurge day and expecting TOM so finished at 155.5. I'm at my Parents place in cottage country for the majority of this round and don't have complete control over the menu. I just want to maintain as best as possible and hopefully finish around 153.
8/1 155.1 - feeling pretty water puffy again. Waiting for TOM but ate really well yesterday.
8/2 154.4 - 17000+ steps yesterday including a run with the dog AND I went roller skating with the boys which I would never have done 28 lbs ago!!!
8/3 154.0 - slowly chipping away at my water bloat from the weekend...very slowly since my calorie deficit hasn't been extreme with being at my parent's place and a few cocktails on the dock with my cousin.
8/4 156.4 - Pizza with ham and salty feta for dinner last night...and TOM finally arrived (peri-menopause messin with my cycle again)...my rings are tight, I feel super bloated.
8/5 -157.5-had a hungry day yesterday and the TOM cravings didn't help
8/6 -157.5 - need to start turning this back around. Vacay is over tomorrow and I will take back control over my meal planning

8/1--229.2 Kept up with my liquids yesterday and had a weightlifting session yesterday.
8/2--229.0 Still making sure I keep myself hydrated.
8/3--228.1 Had a great weightlifting/workout session yesterday. Not sure if the weight loss will stay for the remainder of this round but it's nice to see a new low weight.
8/4--228.1 Holding steady.
8/5--227.9 My goal for this weekend is to make sure that I keep hydrated. I find on the weekend I tend to forget to drink my water which leads to me thinking that I am hungry, when in fact I am just thirsty.
8/6--227.9 I had a great hike yesterday and then had some great diner food afterwards. I made sure that I stayed hydrated, even continued to drink water after I had come home from the hike. I will continue to make sure I stay hydrated today and eat at my calorie goal.

8/1 - 130.8 I have worked out since Friday, every day (after my 2 week mandatory time out). Today is my rest day. And I have been mindful about eating. I love seeing these #s on the scale. My goal is within reach!
8/2 - 130.2 woohoo!!! Ran 4 miles in the hot Florida sun this morning.
8/3 - 130 things are looking good
8/4 - 129.8 it's becoming a reality. And it is worth every effort that I am putting forward. My Goal is near!
8/5 - 131.4 too much grazing and didn't log. Self sabotage! Today back on track. No scale tomorrow because I'm on the road!
8/6 - no scale! Trying to be mindful. Will have a different scale for the next month or so, beginning tomorrow. Looking for good things to happen while I am in the mountains and away from the heat in Florida.

Cyranda, this is just so perfect. 10 days. More than a week but not so long as two, or a month, or now-until-Christmas as so many other challenges are. Just the right length of time. And how we dutifully have come to read each other's daily struggles! Such an important sense of community! I'm in for the duration!
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
Round 11/4: HW 267.4 LW 264.2 MidW = 265.8
My goal this round is to go without Chinese take-out for 10 straight days since it really only is a lazy, I-don't-want-to-cook-tonight response and it represents a day without counting. And to exercise at least twice.
8/1 264.8 -- Starting out this challenge with something approaching the low weight of round 11. Let's go down from here!
8/2 264.2 -- Excellent. Paying attention pays off. CICO rocks!
8/3 264.4 -- Fine. I will not be discouraged by some uppity scale. I will eat TDEE-500 and no more. The weight will go down. The goal is to do limited but satisfying eating. The scale will follow.
8/4 263.2 -- Patience and keeping to calorie limits pays off yet again! Even if I don't see quite this low for the rest of the challenge, this is the first time seeing 263 and I'm a happy camper! Now, if I'm going to exercise twice this challenge I should try to get one in soon. Today?
8/5 264.6 -- some of that is water but some of it is due to falling into an old behavior last night -- the dreaded LATE NIGHT SNACKING. Old habits die hard. I probably undid a couple days of calorie deficits. Sigh. Extra self-discipline required to go back into TDEE-500 today!
8/6 263.2 -- back to where I was day before yesterday. YAY! Still haven't done the exercising! Must do today!!

8/5 - 163.6 - yesterday was full-on self-care day...it worked out pretty well in terms of the scale!
8/6 - 164.4 - I earned that one with a bacon and blue cheese drenched wedge salad, a big ole ribeye, and no exercise. Worth it and back on track today.

YAY! I am feeling the drop from 134.8. Hoping that most of that weight I gained from vacation was just water weight. I did a nice HIIT workout yesterday and am slowly coming in closer to a calorie deficit.
8/2: 132.2
Back to my original low weight before all this vacation madness last weekend. Only a few lbs to go until I reach my goal weight!
8/3: 131.4
WAAAT?! This is the lowest I've been since joining MFP. I'm diggin it!
8/4: 132.2
No surprise, really. Stayed within my calorie limit but I am, once again, constipated.
8/5: 132.2
8/6 132.8
Ate a 4 course plus dessert meal at some obscure French restaurant. I will totally accept this because every single 5 star ounce was worth it. No regrets.

8/1 143.3 Exercised and stayed under calorie goal yesterday. Beach day today. Need to plan ahead for dinner out.
8/2 143.3 2.5 hour walk on beach: stayed under calories if "walking brisk" exercise calories used calculation was accurate for my walk on uneven, soft sand at Crystal Cove State Beach. For anyone in Southern California, this was a fantastic, beautiful walk!
8/3 143.7 Exercised (elliptical) and stayed under calorie goal. Realized I forgot to add a Starbucks drink on 8/1, so really was over calories on 8/1. Ready for this weight to start dropping! It has been TOM, so hopefully in a day or two.
8/4 144 Exercised and stayed under calorie goal. Had to estimate lunch calories when I shared a pad thai entree with a coworker. Did not drink enough water during the day (a problem I have when working).
8/5 143.2 Exercised and stayed under calorie goal.
8/6 143.3 Exercised and stayed under calories again. Shouldn't this number be moving down by now? MFP gives me 1200 calories. My elliptical says I am burning 500 calories, but I only count 350, and never eat back more than that. Yesterday's sodium was high (Panda Express string bean chicken bowl with side of vegetables).
