8/12- N/A
8/13- 160.8 I have not weighed myself in forever and this is better then expected. I am going to lose 25 pounds.
8/14- 161.4 Not sure why I'm up. Wouldn't have changed anything I did yesterday so I'll have to take it.
8/15- 161.0 This should not be so. Anniversary dinner and movie popcorn not conducive to weight loss. Not sure what my body is up to.
8/16- 161.4 No big surprise here. My sugar intake is out of control... again. I am no longer hiding from it, though, as I have been the last few months. Getting on the scale is a reminder of what it is doing to my body.
8/17- 160.4 Good day yesterday. Feel like it's going to continue on today
8/18- 159.2 Ciao 160s

Good start, although the last time I got to this weight it was also a Friday and I screwed it up with the weekend. We will see what I can do. Yesterday I went over my calorie count but I was able to get up and do some walking which was a good start post cryosurgery (it was almost the entire bottom of both of my feet lol, so I'm surprised it hasn't gotten infected and that I'm able to do this much walking).
8/12: 130.6
No late night snacking yesterday, so I'm sure that helped. I've been making smarter choices and eating less. I don't have as many snacks laying around the house other than fruit and nuts. Great start to the weekend. Hopefully I can continue the downward trend. This was my second goal weight, but I decided to lower it another 5 lbs. I am just so amazed at what I have accomplished. I never thought I would get below 145.
8/13: 131.8
Ate more than planned yesterday. Usually happens with my niece in the house. We cook together and what not. Plus I didn't drink very much water.
8/14: 132
Guess I'm still suffering from two days ago. I ate well at yesterday and came in under cal count.
8/15: 132
At least it's not going up? Yesterday was the first day back to school and although I am only there 3 days/wk I always default to snack machines, which is not good. Yesterday was day one with no snack machines!
8/16: 131.2
Yesterday I thought about going to the snack machine. But I didn't! I usually bring lunch with me but sometimes that thing just calls me. Anyway, I guess this is my reward!!
8/17: forgot to weigh in
8/18: 131.4
Walked a 5K for epilepsy today and yesterday I ate pretty good minus the dessert.

Back on track. Happy with this round's loss (3.4 lbs.). Date night is tonight, need to get some exercise today and keep the wine reasonable so that the scale is true tomorrow - last day of the round! I like the 10 days rather than a week. More time for the ups a downs. Happy Saturday!6 -

8/13:208.6 -- under calories (first time in ages on a Saturday), worked out.
8/14: 207.6 -- just 50 calories over yesterday, had a fantastic weekend food-wise. Worked out.
8/15: 207 -- under calories, worked out yesterday.

Round 12/5: HW 264.8 LW 261.2 MidW = 263.0
8/11 263.2 -- "Retrieved" two pounds from a day off logging and a trip to Little Pigs barbecue buffet. Back to the new normal today. May slide up a bit more tomorrow because of water but I know what to do. CICO!!
8/12 262.6 -- Getting rid of the two pounds from the trip to the barbecue. Logged and stayed under calories yesterday like it is the new normal! It is ... the new normal, that is.
8/13 261.6 -- Almost back to the LW of round 12. It's onward!
8/14 262.0 -- Made the mistake of getting on the scale in my nightie. Now it won't recognize that I weigh less in the buff. Damned scale decides that it's going to tell me I weigh that day and once it decides on a number, it won't change it. Obstinate little thing! Oh, well, I know I ate right and the number is not what's important -- at least that's what I'm telling myself. Harrumph!
8/15 261.4 -- The scale went down but I fell into an old pattern last night that had me eating several hundred calories "post diary." Staying up late to binge-watch costume dramas goes with snacking. I need to watch such girly stuff during the day when I'm more in control of my eating. (Early evening is more "gender neutral" in our living room. LOL)
8/16 261.0 -- Discovered what had made it so hard to stay within calories for the last couple days. I had been playing with the macros and something I did had dropped my daily limit by about 150 calories! No wonder I had that attack of the night munchies. Anyway, all recovered. I actually ate low yesterday because I skipped (slept through?) breakfast and wasn't hungry for it due to the previous night. Back to normal today!
8/17 260.6 -- Another new low! Yay! CICO!!
8/18 261.2 -- Why is it that no understanding of the reality that weight bounces up and down prepares you for this? I must fight the urge to blame myself for some undefined failure I didn’t commit. Damned scale.
8/19 263.2 -- Up two pounds overnight. Chinese take-out strikes again! Lots of sodium!! And once I got started, I kept at it with some “post-diary” snacking. Ugh. Back to healthy normal today!!

End R12 (my first round): 171.4
I'd like to lose 2 more pounds this round.
8/11: 171.4 Yesterday was a food day. A "gourmet" doughnut and latte for breakfast and a company picnic (did pretty well; kept it light). Had a good step day: 16,000!
8/12: 171.4 Holding steady. Boy, I really wanted wine last night. And dessert. Lots of it. It seems to be my Friday tradition. By 5pm, though, I had only drank about 16 oz. of water, so had some catching up to do. I stuck with water. On a Friday night. Steps were also low (busy day at work yesterday) so spent the evening walking the dog and did some elliptical.
8/13: 170.5 Active day yesterday cleaning up, running errands and getting to the Y to run on the treadmill again. Have found a replacement for alcohol right now: the little cans of flavored Perrier. Throw in some ice and lime and they are refreshing!
8/14: 170.5 Day off from work today. Kids go back to school tomorrow. Back into the routine!
8/15: 170.5 For those of you that hold on and then a bunch comes off at once? I am with you!
I did have a few small glasses of wine last night at a potluck dinner and tried to eat a lot of salad (hard to do at potlucks...) Took a walk with the dog and did the elliptical. Want to keep reaching 10,000 steps this week.
8/16: 169.4 Yes! Getting in the zone now. I say "getting" because the temptations and there and they are real and I literally have to do this one day at a time. I think that's why I am liking this weigh every day thing. Keeps me on my game.
8/17: 169.9 Went over in calories yesterday. Still got some exercise in, but was busy at work and didn't quite get all my water in and didn't hit my step goal. Today is a new day. Lunch is packed and tonight I bump up to 15 minutes of running in my C210K app.
8/18: 169.9 Had a good OP day yesterday, and managed to finish my 15 minute stretch of running the first time! I am stressed today. Lots of work stuff. TGIF.
8/19: 169 The evening workouts are helping me with my night eating this week. Only problem is I can't quite get to sleep at a decent time because I am wired from the workout. Very tired this morning. Getting ready for a business trip today, so lots to do.

SW 3/9/17: 256 lbs
UGW: 140 lbs
R13 GW: 217
8/11: 219 - I weighed a little less yesterday but not much. I was under my calories, rode my stationary bike, and took a walk so I'm guessing just water. I have to remember to drink more. I have been craving doughnuts all morning because I've been watching Twin Peaks.
8/12: 217.8 - This was surprising as I didn't work out and I overate because I had to have some Arby's and a shake! I was smart though, no mayo and removed a slice of bread and split the small shake so it wasn't too awful. Had blueberry french toast this morning and feel no guilt.
8/13: 219.6 - This was expected as I over ate and then had a free double chocolate muffin from my sister's work. I'm hoping for a better day today. Weekends are hard but I'll make it through. I hope everyone else is doing better than me.
8/14: 221 - Did squats yesterday and I'm sore and also retaining water. I hope the scale moves in the right direction tomorrow.
8/15: 220.6 - Better than yesterday I guess. I had spaghetti and a Dove Ice cream bar for dinner and it was delicious. Got my 30 minutes of exercise in but my son is teething really bad so looks like I get to deal with a clingy 1 year old all day.
8/16: 220 - This water retention is killing me! I guess it could be worse, but it's still disheartening. I just need to keep it up and wait for the inevitable whoosh! It's always exciting to see all your hard work pay off in a matter of days lol! Good luck everyone
8/17: 219.4 - I'm dropping a little each day which is good. Hopefully I'm out of the 220's for good now. I'm pretty sure I won't be seeing 217 by the end of 10 days but I'm hoping my next whoosh will drop me below that.
8/18: 218.4 - So much better today lol! I didn't work out yesterday because I kept getting dizzy so I stayed within my calorie goal and relaxed. I hope everyone is doing well today.
8/19: 218.2 - still headed in the right direction! Fell asleep before eating dinner yesterday and wondering if I should eat back those cals today. I could go for something sweet!

8/12 - 132.6 headed back in the right direction. Lots of exercise today. But couldn't resist the hot dog and tater tots at hot dog world in Hendersonville, NC
8/13 - 132.1 moving along nicely. Got my 5 mile run in this morning. Have a great Sunday everyone!
8/14 - 131.7 nice long walk in the mountains with the dogs and then to the gym for a good workout. Always mindful eating! Progress (round 2 to get below 130#)
8/15 - 131.1 finally back below where I was after Round 11. Staying very motivated!!!
8/16 - 132.5 that was short lived. Boo! I did not have mindful eating yesterday. Going to the gym now. Let's see what today's efforts will bring tomorrow. Must finish this round strong!

8/15: 315.2 : As long as it stays in the 315's I will be happy for this week.
8/16: 315.2 : Ugh - was under calories.

I had a big loss last round so not expecting much of a loss for this round, but we will see. My goals for this round are to make sure I stay hydrated and, since there are two weekends in this round, to work on being more mindful of my eating on the weekends.
8/11--227.0 Holding steady.
8/12--227.0 Still holding, but my trend weight is going downwards. Need to make sure I keep up with my water today.
8/13--228.1 Went out to eat yesterday, so the increase is probably due to the additional salt. I'm very happy that I still stayed within my calories and I drank more water than what I usually drink on the weekend. I'll continue to keep up with the water today.
8/14--228.1 Holding steady. Still feeing a little bloated today. The weekend was a success as I kept up my hydration levels and I ate more sensibly than normal, so I'll just wait for the scale to follow.
8/15--227.9 Still eating at my calorie level. Still feeling bloated. Had a great weightlifting session yesterday.
8/16--227.7 Slowly getting back to my starting weight for this round. Still staying hydrated.
8/17--227.9 Sore from my weightlifting.
8/18--228.3 Ugh, I'm not surprised about that number since I'm feeling heavy and bloated right now. Not sure what it is. Hopefully drinking my lemon water will help. Well, I will just keep with my water, eating, and exercise and just wait for my body, and the scale, to catch up.
8/19--227.2 I am shocked that I had this big drop since I still feel bloated and heavy and I weightlifted yesterday, but I will take it.

Daily Goals: pre-log/follow through; balance macros/micros; hydrate; 15+ strength ; 15+ flex ; 6,500+ steps ; close kitchen at 8pm!
Target weight: 160
10/8/2017: 161.8 (1.2 under Round 13 target of 163)
11/8/2017: 161.2. Very happy with this. Had some unplanned chocolate, but stayed under calories and met my other goals.
12/8/2017: 161.8. Oops! Finished the chocolate. Still under goal. Cause and effect.
13/8/2017: 161.8 Goals ✅
14/8/2017: 161.6 Goals ✅ Surprised at this as I had buns at my daughter's yesterday afternoon. But I had lots of exercise calories, too!
15/8/2017: 160
another steady sustainable drop. Goals ✅ Did an extra 30 minute HIIT session yesterday morning. It felt good.
16/8/2017: 160 I was expecting a bounce after the drop yesterday. Goals ✅ Another HIIT session done. Up to 10381 daily steps.
17/8/2017: 160.4 Normal bounce. Goals ✅ My leg muscle are rather sore, so will concentrate on upper body strength and light cardio.
18/8/2017: 159.2 My lowest in a while. Goals ✅ Off on a week's holiday tomorrow, but will take the scale with me. I'm in charge of catering, but there may be the odd restaurant meal, so next Round will be interesting. 
19/8/2017: 160.2 Bouncy, bouncy! Lol! Goals ✅ So close to that target weight. Travelling today, so must keep focus!
20/8/2017: The quaint cottage floors are uneven, and my scale is all over the place! Trying to find a level area is impossible, so I'm sticking with yesterday's reading to finish out the round. I'm away for a week, so I'll give Round 14 a miss, and rejoin for Round 15.
Since I hit my target twice and even dropped below it one day, I'm calling Round 13 a win. Also 160 is my lowest weight in a long time, so it's a double win. Have a Blessed Sunday! 9 -

8/14 - 141.8
8/15 - 141.8
8/16 - 141.8
8/17 - 142.8 -wrong way!!
8/18 - 142.4 - I was wondering why I wasn't losing and had a gain. Then I remembered my Cadburys double decker indulgences. Back on track now
8/19 - 141.8
8/20 - 141.67 -
I'm having another go, too! This is my 2nd round.
Goal weight: 61kg
R12 SW- 61.2 Final Weight- 61.8 Mean Average Weight- 61.8
8/11 62.1 Fair enough. I had a lovely treat day yesterday, full of sugar, spice and all things nice, and salt led the assault. It was worth it!
8/12 63.3kg. Midnight snacking, that is. Ah well.
Had a fantastic couch to 5k session yesterday.Onwards and downwards!
8/13 62.9kg Lovely sunny day. Planning to knock all the treats this week on the head from... now.
Worked out how to do my first ever backwards roll yesterday, when I was doing yoga stretches, and felt really athletic. Need to post that in the NSV thread!
8/14 62.5 Hope the rest of it is water, too! Exciting day today- planning to buy some actual running shoes this week, and I might manage to fit it in today.
8/15 62.1kg Had great day yesterday, with no nibbling. Ate back exercise calories, but maintained MFP deficit.
8/16 62kg Exactly on point with calories and nutrition yesterday, and had a great day out with the kids. Went shopping, including to the shop they've been saving their pocket money for, went to opticians to order replacement frames for latest pair of broken glasses, and dropped in at a playground which incorporates outdoor gym equipment for the older kids/adults. I mucked around with a seated device that is rigged so you pull down your bodyweight with your arms, which hoists your seated self in the air. Lots of fun for me there, especially as I happened to be wearing the coolest, shortest-sleeved t-shirt I own, which provides visible evidence I have some muscle tissue there!
8/17 62kg Had a lovely active day yesterday. Only went over my exercise calories by 4 calories, which, as far as I'm concerned, doesn't count.
8/18 62.3kg Felt really lethargic and incredibly hungry most of yesterday, and went over maintenance by about 600 calories, so that's three plus days' deficit cancelled out. However, meh. Got my grip on myself back at midnight and went out for my 5k training session then, and if my dieting day had proceeded "better" and I'd gone out earlier, I wouldn't have been around at the right time to help someone out who needed it.
8/19 61.9kg. Over maintenance again, but I've learned to make tandoori flavoured chickpea and courgette burgers, and the kids ate them, so I'm going to focus on that.
8/20 62kg Good food day, but in retrospect, I was very sedentary, so probably was actually at maintenance. Did Cto5k and stretching, though.

8/14 201.6 -holding still
8/15 203.8- my brother is in a hospital, so not eating right as I'm not at home to cook ... still want to track my weight and trying to make healthy choices when I do eat
8/16 203,8
8/17 couldn't face the scale
8/18 202.9- was surprised but please - didn't eat well today - at a children's party with my daughter, so I know that that's going to have an effect on tomorrow's number
8/19 205.2 - not surprised
8/20 207.4 - so disappointed - I will try to get my weight under control next round5 -

I love our little community that grew! I look forward to my cup of coffee and scrolling through the comments every day. I learn from our mistakes, am saddened by our setbacks and look forward to your victories possibly even more than my own. Welcome everyone to Round 13 which will end in a new moon and usher in a solar eclipse for a spectacular beginning to Round 14.
8/11 - 193.6 they should have a happy dance emoji!
8/12 - 193.4
8/13 - 193.8 another day under calories but felt like I was cheating for some reason, I think it's because I was eating the same as the family and not modifying it for myself except for measuring portions.
8/14 - 193.4 had my big drop so I suspect I'm going to stay around this number for a while. Be nice to see 192 before the challenge ends
8/15 - 193.4
8/16 - 193.4 look at me, Ms. Consistency! Waiting patiently for the whoosh...
8/17 - 193.2
8/18 - 193 This is cool..
8/19 - 193.2 I'm going to see 192 tomorrow lol
8/20 - 193 lost one pound this round. I would have liked to lose more but this is a drop and I stayed in the 193 for the whole round and that's my lowest weight in 4 years. I hope to see you all next round!9 -
Starting weight: 240
Goal this round: 230
Day/Weight/Comment
8/11- 236 - New scale
8/12 - 233.2
8/13 - 233.4
8/14 - 233.2 time to get this moving
8/15 - 232.4 my body actually listened
8/16 - 231 I will take it until the scale tomorrow says otherwise. No bad news today. Plus I passed my exams so all is well in my world today.
8/17 - 232 still good. Let's see what the next 3 days can bring.
8/18 - 232 I switched to Centrum silver which has iron compared to wellwoman 50+ which doesn't. Haven't been able to go (lifelong issues there). May have to switch back if this continues because daily I consume 25-35g fibre and roughly 13-15 cups of water so that isn't the issue. 2lbs in 2 days...
8/19 - 230.8 I bought One a Day 50+ which has no iron but basically has all the nutrients as the Centrum which allowed me to go. I know .8 is going to nag at me until I see it gone but looking back at where I began on the 26th June.... I am soooooo happy.
8/20 - 229 I had read somewhere that you should change your diet every 10 days to reset you body. Apparently it might have some merit. I usually eat 2 protein packed green smoothies and veggies/protein lunch or dinner. Yesterday I cooked veggies/macaroni/stewed chicken - lots of oil, butter, ketchup and carbs were in it. I was thinking .8 was close enough and this was too delicious to miss. Plus last night was the best restful sleep that I have had in a long time. Next 10 days I will do it again and see what happens. If it's a fluke and doesn't repeat itself at least it would breakup the boredom of my meals give me a rest from cooking separately and that one day I am like everyone else.7 -
SW: 249 (March 2017); CW: 232.4 (although my official weigh in on Monday was 231.8); GW: no idea yet but for this round I'd say 230.
Day/Weight/Comment
8/11 - 232.4 - up a little from my Monday weigh in but hoping to see that come back down by Monday
8/12 -232.6 - up just a touch, but took mom out to dinner last night so probably a bit of a sodium bomb; starting a 5k training program this morning and pushing water
8/13 - 232.4 - forgot to post this yesterday. Moving back down.
8/14 - 232.0 - moving in the right direction! This week I need to focus on my water intake. I've also started some running training intervals, so that may be causing me to retain a little water as its more intense than my usual walking. Hoping water and having a better week calorie-wise (I was over two days last week) will get me back where I want to be.
8/15 - 231.2 - under what my official weigh-in was last week! With careful eating and a little luck I might make it to my goal for this round.
8/16 - 231.8 - hovering up and down in this small range - hoping for a woosh soon
8/17 - 230.6 - hoping this is actually moving down finally; family reunion on Saturday will be my first real test of making good choices
8/18 - 230.6 - holding steady so this may actually be real; nervous about tommorrow - going to look at maintenance calories so I can try not to overdo it too much, but the hardest part will be tracking
8/19 - 230.2 - woo!
8/20 - 232.4 - back where I started this round; likely retaining water bc of salty foods at family reunion yesterday; hoping this drops tomorrow for my official weekly weigh in
This has been fun! Got so close to my goal but circumstances sort of prevented me from reaching it. I hope I'll do better in the next round!

SW - 260lbs
R12 - start 242.2 .... finish.. 231.0
- total lost 11.2lbs ( although i had been down to
233 earlier that week... so more like 2lbs)
Goal - get to 227lbs.
Start weight 230.2
8/11 - 230.2 - hard day as i was out of the house doing errands this morning and had a salad from subway and snuck in 2 cookies. Then I had to bring my son to emerge and ended up get a cheese bagel with butter and Greek pasta salad. Then for dinner I was so exhausted I made a premade chicken rice teriyaki frozen bag for dinner and a piece or pork chop. I think i drank 1 bottle of water so I anticipate a jump tomorrow due to salt intake. Tomorrow is a new day!
8/12 - 230.6 - I'm relieved it only went up this much! Back on track today. I'm planning on getting in at least an hour walk. Track all my food today. And drink drink drink to flush out any extra salt.
8/13 - 230.4 - not my lowest yet but close. Had such a great day today. Ate well. Tracked everything. Went on a 8.5km walk with a friend and logged 11700 steps! I'm looking forward to what the scale has to say about this tomorrow.
8/14 - 230.6 - I'm not letting myself get frustrated by staying the same because i know i am pushing my self in staying track in eating and exercise (it is also that time of month!). Today I walked to and from the gym - 5km - and did 30min cardio and 20 min arm weights. Feeling so great!
8/15 - 231.0 - still trying not to get discouraged although I did so well yesterday. Perhaps it's because I'm building muscle or TOM. I will work on getting more water in to help with any bloating. I am alsp at the gym again today so happy about going two days in a row. Hopefully all this work will show by the end of the week!
8/16 - 230.8 - I've gone to the gym 3 days in a row! Mood and energy increasing. Although the scale isn't showing it, I will count this as a win for this week!
8/17 - 230.0 - lowest so far. Woohoo. Slow and steady! Heading to the gym again today
8/18 -229.4!!! Woohoo I did it. Finally in the 20s. Hoping I keep going down and don't see the 30a again! 4 days in a row at the gym may have helped. Taking 2 days off to let my body heal a bit then going back on Sunday. Looking forward to the weigh in tomorrow!
8/19 - 228.4! All the hard work has paid off! So so happy! Hopefully I can maintain for tomorrow. I'm hoping to go for a nice long walk, otherwise I am still recovering for the aches from the 4 days at the gym. Looking forward to the next round!
8/20 - 229.6lbs - up because I allowed myself a couple treats while out socializing. I'm okay with this as i could have done a lot worse and proud I was able to portion control. I also know i will lose it within a few days! Looking forward to seeing what the scale will show for next week as i plan on going to the gym almost everyday!5
