R12 GW: 190 and to keep my focus on off/weekend days
UGW: 130
8/1: 192.2 which is 10lbs lost since my first round!! It's my off day, so (even before I weighed in) I decided to do a mini fast for the day. No meat, no grain. Just veggies/fruit and liquid. I've been feeling heavy, even though I'm losing weight, so hopefully this will help.
8/2: 191.4 yay my plan worked. I feel better/lighter and the scale backed me up lol but its back to my regular routine at work today. Hoping to sustain this progress although I predict a spike tomorrow.
8/3: 191.2 still doing well. Did 14,000+ steps yesterday, and stayed within 1500 bmr calorie limit.
8/4: 188.2 weighed my self three times, sat down for a half hour and weighed again, because I just couldn't believe what I was reading. It made me think about before I started these 10 day challenges. Even though I hated what I saw, I never doubted that I was 200+ lbs, but I can't wrap my head around the numbers going down sometimes. I need to think about why and ways to adjust my reactions. I should rejoice in my hard work paying off, not feel nervous about the results.
8/5: 190.2 that's alright. I did 12, 739 steps yesterday, but I ate at odd times and really didn't get a chance to hydrate. Also, got home so late and I'm super tired today but I still have a full day of work ahead of me.
8/6: 191.1 I wasn't home, but I used my sister's scale
8/7: 189.4 didn't do well with my food intake, but logged 12,125 steps yesterday.
8/8: 189.8 trying to hold strong at 88. Have a better plan today, so hoping that my small calorie overage yesterday won't come back to bite me

This is my first official round. Thought I'd join in officially as I keep nearly getting to the UGW I originally set (will set a new goal when I finally get there), then... not. 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 Ate back exercise calories, but no further, and even did stuff with cooking chocolate without nibbling it! Did Cto5k session. Really enjoying the Zombies Run app, especially with last night's update. It now tells me how many calories I've burned using the GPS directly, instead of me having to use the MFP database post-session to generate the same figures.
8/7 61.8kg. Finally moving in the right direction! Very active day, but only ate back 1/2 to 2/3s of exercise calories. Did vigorous ab work-out at class.
8/8 61.9 Still in the 61.# zone! Not surprised by the slight rise as my mid-section is still burning this morning. I swear I can see the water bloat in the mirror (bloody hormones) this week. Great day, calorie-wise, and finished it off by defrosting the freezer and cleaning out the fridge while not nibbling a single little thing.
8/9 61.8kg Abs still a bit sore.
I suppose it doesn't look like I'm going to make 61kg this round, but I'm still very contented wih my results; I'm not sure I've spent so much time consistently in the 61.# zone before this week. Normally, I get to 61.2/61.3, boing! straight back up, and don't get near it again for a month. Every time I've permanently passed a mini-goal threshold, it was preceded by a period of bouncing around in the figures a maddening distance just above it, and I think this pattern is holding true.

Starting weight: 187.4lb (24th July)
Current weight: 185.8lb (1st August)
Goal weight: 160lb
Goal this round: 184.something
This is my first round :-)
1/8 - 185.8 (A little drop from yesterday, despite some questionable biscuit choices yesterday. Woop! I've also joined the gym again.)
2/8 - 185.2 (Total fluke - I ate terribly yesterday, including ALL of the wine. Oops. I did hit my 12,000 step target though.)
3/8 - 185.6 (No surprise here - yesterday involved a lot of carbs. Today will be better. I plan to drink more water.)
4/8 - 185.2 (Yesterday was better - I smashed my step goal, went to Bodypump, and didn't eat total rubbish. I'm doing my cowboy swagger this morning - muscles! Today I'm hoping to do 14,500 steps)
5/8 - 186.2 (Ate horribly yesterday, and didn't quite hit my step goal, let along 14,500. Feeling a bit ill today after an upset stomach last night. Blargh!)
6/8 - 186.2
7/8 - 187.0 (Yikes! Stupid weekend)
8/8 - 184.8 (Wheeeeeeeeeee!! Hit my target for this challenge. Yesterday was a really weird food day - eating leftovers from the weekend - but I got my steps in and drank loads of water. Today I have a Body Pump class, and will aim for some manner of sensible food consumption.)
9/8 - 185.6 (Hello, yo-yo... I did eat sensibly, but misread the gym timetable so couldn't do pump. More water will be today's aim, and thankfully we are almost at the end of the packet of chocolate digestives )

I'm in again! I'm a teacher, so the busy time has started. Meetings, meetings, meetings this week, and trying to get my classroom set up. Finding a balance between work, home, and exercise is going to be a struggle.
Round 12: 185.4
GW: 184.4
UW: 125
08/01: 185.4 Meetings for an all day Math Summit. I didn't get any exercise in, but I did stay on my diet and water consumption.
08/02: 184.8 Skipped a few meals because I was working hard to get a good start on setting up my classroom. I put in a lot of steps too and stayed on my water consumption. I also made up my calories at dinner.
08/03: 185: I skipped multiple meals yesterday due to working on my classroom again. I have almost all of it done and am excited about that! Just a few more tweaks and paperwork. I almost got all of my steps put in as well.
08/04: 185.6: I stayed within my calories ONLY due to the 4 miles of biking I did and the 2 and something miles of walking. It's the first time I ate well over 1200 calories. I'm a yo-yo this round!
08/05: 185.4: I was on my feet and moving all day yesterday. I reached my goal for steps and then some. I stayed within my calories and ate healthy even though I wasn't home. I also drank a ton of water. So now, I'm back to starting weight. Lol
08/06: 184.8: These numbers look all too familiar this week. I went on a 4.5 mile bike ride yesterday. Stuck to my calories and my water.
08/07: 183.4: This is my lowest number yet and a new one this round. I know I've lost a LOT of water since Friday. I also biked 5 miles. Stayed within my calories and ate well. Drank 48 oz of water.
08/08: 182.8: I didn't get to exercise because I worked a 13 hour day. It was back to school night. However, I did get my goal for steps put in. I ate lighter because I was working, but I ate healthy and every 3 hours to keep my metabolism up. I walked away from offers of pizza, cookies, and candy from the principal.I drank 48 oz of water too.
08/09: 182.6 Meetings and more meetings all day long yesterday. Stayed within my calories. Put in my steps by making multiple trips up the stairs. I walked away from cookies, candy, and tons of breads again for our staff luncheon yesterday by packing my own healthy lunch. I drank 48 oz of water again, which I can do without any issues now. Anything more than that, I overhydrate and get really sick since I do have some milk during the day too.

I try to have dinner done by 6 and not eat after that. It's what my specialist recommended. He also said to not lay down for 2 hours after I've eaten. I can't always do that though, so I go with a yogurt and fruit for meals later than that. It's not a lot, but it's something.5 -

Day/Weight/Comment
8/1: 200.8 – recovering from girls weekend nicely
8/2: 199.8 – Staying within by calorie budget, walking. I had 1 mini cupcake yesterday and it was fantastic. With tracking and logging you can have your cake and eat it too! Just not the whole cake.
8/3: 198.8 – so pumped! Yay me!
8/4: 198 – Happy, but feel tired and hungry. And again annoyed that progress is so slow. I know this is the right way to do it. But dang. My goal for tomorrow was 195. I got pretty close. I had a girls weekend in there that set me back a bit, so I’m pretty content with this result. Tomorrow is a wedding and I can’t wait to eat the delicious food and drink the delicious drink. I’ve been attempting to make healthier meals and they just aren’t very satisfying. But I’ll keep figuring it out.
8/5: 197.2 – This makes me happy! I was getting a little tired of it all yesterday. Ate Arby’s for lunch and Red Baron for dinner. Went for an hour long walk, stayed within my cals. Felt satiated.
8/6: 196.6 – Happy to be making progress consistently. I want to get into the 180’s so friggin bad. It’s been a long time!
8/7: 196.4 – Lazy day yesterday. Stayed as close as I could to calorie goals. Didn’t do too bad.
8/8: 195.6 – Didn’t bring a lunch to work yesterday and was too lazy to go pick something up, almost died. Not making that mistake again. But hey .6 pounds to my short term goal.
8/9 – 196 – up a little. I don’t think I’ve done anything drastically different, so chalking it up to just a normal fluctuation.

8/1 - 196.6
8/2 - 196.4 I feel like I'm going to hang around 196 for a while
8/3 - 196.6 yup
8/4 - 195.6 drank loads of water went to bed 4 pounds heavier than this and peed it all out, lol, I'm tired now!
8/5 - 196 - 2 glasses of wine and I kept dipping my hand into a bucket of cheeseballs. Alcohol loves salty snacks. Overall a good day and still maintained most of my deficit although I had to weigh the leftover cheeseballs to accurately record their salty deliciousness! Poor little Orange delicacies are now in my snack prison, in the workshop in the tool cupboard, 100 feet away from the house so I have to make a conscious decision to go get em.
8/6 - 196 this is getting to be a habit. Lol
8/7 - 196 hmmmm
8/8 - 194.8 My body finally decided to forgive me for cheeseballgate. I think!
8/9 - 194.6 I'll be posting Round 13 today, Lucky 13! Hope nobody has triskaidekaphobia!

UGW: 130
8/1: 192.2 which is 10lbs lost since my first round!! It's my off day, so (even before I weighed in) I decided to do a mini fast for the day. No meat, no grain. Just veggies/fruit and liquid. I've been feeling heavy, even though I'm losing weight, so hopefully this will help.
8/2: 191.4 yay my plan worked. I feel better/lighter and the scale backed me up lol but its back to my regular routine at work today. Hoping to sustain this progress although I predict a spike tomorrow.
8/3: 191.2 still doing well. Did 14,000+ steps yesterday, and stayed within 1500 bmr calorie limit.
8/4: 188.2 weighed my self three times, sat down for a half hour and weighed again, because I just couldn't believe what I was reading. It made me think about before I started these 10 day challenges. Even though I hated what I saw, I never doubted that I was 200+ lbs, but I can't wrap my head around the numbers going down sometimes. I need to think about why and ways to adjust my reactions. I should rejoice in my hard work paying off, not feel nervous about the results.
8/5: 190.2 that's alright. I did 12, 739 steps yesterday, but I ate at odd times and really didn't get a chance to hydrate. Also, got home so late and I'm super tired today but I still have a full day of work ahead of me.
8/6: 191.1 I wasn't home, but I used my sister's scale
8/7: 189.4 didn't do well with my food intake, but logged 12,125 steps yesterday.
8/8: 189.8 trying to hold strong at 88. Have a better plan today, so hoping that my small calorie overage yesterday won't come back to bite me
8/9: 191.8 I really don't know...had a good day yesterday. Stayed within my calories and logged around 12,000 steps again...
