JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 12

ehseeker

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.
8/7 145.6 Ate lunch out, salad and chicken, had 2 adult beverages. No regrets. Ate healthy, enjoyed the drinks, spent time with a friend. Lovely day. New week, new effort. Mwuah!
8/8 145.6 Did the gym and a aqua fitness class. Well, some of this weight must be muscle, right? One of these days I break through. It's been almost 3 weeks yoyoing at these few pounds. I will persist! Today I'm watching grandson so it's elliptical in family room.

8/9 145 ... Two hours at park with the little man followed by 30 on ellip later in day. You can apparently burn calories watching a 2 yr old defy death at the playground. Hoping to make it to gym later today. Big salad and baked chicken breast and protein drinks for me today. Whatever exercise you do, enjoy it.

8/3 - 164.4 - and just like that...it's gone again
8/4 - 164.4 - no exercise but under calories
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.
8/7 - 164 - Had a good workout and lots of water, but did go over calories, so I'll take it.
8/8 - 164.4 - Dang it! I thought surely I would have a loss this morning...under calories, a ton of water and lots of movement. Go figure.
8/9 - 163.2 - There it is...even had warm gooey chocolate chip cookie and just a short 20 min elliptical workout.

If you had a good day then it's a factor you can't control or some hidden salt, whatever, you are still down for this round. Just keep on with your focused effort and you will be paid off!

Really struggling to get workouts in and stay within calories. It's not an excuse, but my mom is in hospice care in my home and I'm her primary caregiver. Exercise is my therapy and I really need to try and fit it in.

I am seeing HUGE fluctuations in weight this 10 days. I got on the scale 3 time this morning to make sure it's accurate. I haven't had a period in months and I feel a little like it's coming so I may be retaining water. I also ate like a pig all weekend so that's the big gain. I'm also extremenly stressed over my mom's health. All this amounts to rollercoaster weights.

8/3: 156.8 Currently TOM, so fluctuations are all over the place
8/4: 157.2 I always go up & down daily during TOM
8/5: 155 Not sure what that's about. I even ate well over yesterday. I may be a little dehydrated.
8/6: 155.6 Dealing with a stomach virus in our household going through each of my kids
8/8: 155.8 Still dealing with sick kids, plus I'm not feeling so great now either
8/9: 155.6 Bouncing around the same weight. This stomach bug is something fierce. Hopefully soon I can get back to having energy and working out.

7/31 205lbs. Desperately want to get out of the 200's.
8/1 203lbs. Feeling a little better to finally drop a couple. Its been a loooooong time since the number went
down.
8/2 203.6 Ugh.... I don't know what to say.
8/3 203.6
8/4 204.6 So frustrated as usual. I have cut down so much on the garbage I use to eat and NO POP which is silly but I love it. Nothing for a week and up goes the scale.
8/5 202.4 lbs. Getting closer to the 100's. Hoping I can fight through the weekend without backsliding. Wedding showers and family dinners do me a number. Would love love love to see progress over the weekend not the opposite.
8/6 missed weighing in
8/7 200.4lbs. SOooo close to getting under dreaded 200. Please please I hope soon.
8/8 200.8 lbs.
8/9 200.8 lbs. My own doing....drinks with friends at happy hour and appetizers and dinner. I don't need that much but still seem to want to do it at the time. Got to get my priorities straight.

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).
8/7 142.5 Finally, 142.something. Had birthday cake yesterday. 10 extra minutes on the elliptical to stay under calorie goal. Today is my first official day back to work (teacher).
8/8 142.1 Exercised and ate under calories. Blood work this morning to see if blood sugar and cholesterol dropped after losing about 50 pounds since last year.
8/9 142.3 exercised 15 extra minutes to make up for extra calories

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
Round 11--SW 230.3 EW 229.7 Weight loss/gain -0.6
Round 12 SW 229.7

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.
8/7--229.4 This is why I love weighing myself everyday. It's just amazing to see how my body reacts to things. Yesterday I had a great massage, today my muscles are sore from the massage, and the muscle soreness results in water retention. I am continuing to stay hydrated and will just wait for the water weight to go.
8/8--228.3 There it goes.
8/9--227.9 And there goes the rest of it.

My 10 day goal is to get to 349 lbs, stay within my daily calories goal and meet or exceed my daily water goal.

8/01 354.0 up from yesterday after burgers and fries with friends, but did a late night workout and met water goal
8/02 351.4 I'm back to where I was at the end of R12. I took a brisk walk, met my water goal and instead of staying up to snack, I went to bed early. Pretty good day.
8/03 350.8 I joined a squats and abs challenge and did some walking. I'm also working on improving flexibility. Drinking water was a struggle, went over cals.
8/04 348.4 Eating was ok, still need to drink more water
8/05 349.2 drank lots of water, but over cals, woke up tired and sore this morning
8/06 350.2 family gathering yesterday, can't let the weight creep back up
8/07 350.2 That was a rough weekend, but I'm back on track and hoping to finish the round more focused.
8/08 351.6 I stayed under calories, drank 100 oz of water and exercised. I'm really sore today, but must carry on.
8/09 348.8 Happy with this number. I stayed under calories, drank 100 oz of water and exercised.

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!!
8/7 262.8 -- A new low number for the LW. I need to totally stop eating after supper. This means more afternoon snacking after supper is planned. If I don't start to eat in the evening I am less likely to keep eating until bedtime. No more saving calories for late night snacks because I have trouble stopping at night.
8/8 262.8 -- Same as yesterday at the new low.

8/9 261.6 -- WHOOSH! Another new low! Still haven't exercised. Hmmph.

Goal for this round: 133.0

8/1: 132.6
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.
8/7: 134.4
Yep. I knew it would happen. This is the result of not enough water and a night at a bar watching soccer. Meh. Hoping this is just water weight that I can drop before the end of the round. Otherwise, hoping I have a lower AW than last round (closer to, or less than Round 10 would be nice). As of today my AW for this round is 132.5.
8/8: 133.0
Headed back in the right direction. Nice. Stayed within my calorie limit, drank a ton of water. Can't exercise the way I want because I've had some cryosurgery done on my feet and it hurts like balls.
8/9: 133.0
Guess it's better than gaining.
