Back still! Did the yoyo thing last round; ended up where I started 144.4. I vow to be more conscious this round and to exercise more - hard to do lately because of family commitments. I'm looking to get to 143 or below without bouncing back. I started midway through Round 2 at 153.9 on 4/29. Slow going but better than nothing. I'm at roughly .5 a week loss. I need to get a little more serious this round.
Day/Weight/Comment
8/21 144.4 - 45 on ellip and 1 ice cream nutty buddy. Did forgo the enchiladas I made yesterday and had a salad with the chicken and black beans on it. My goal today is to keep carbs no more than 50 and calories 1000-1200. Happy Eclipse everyone!
8/22 143.2 Woo Hoo! Hope some of this loss is fat. Now to pay attention so that I continue the downward. 75 min on ellip and made a crustless mushroom quiche - high in protein, tasty and satisfying and low in cals and carbs. More ellip today and hopefully get to gym. Remember, you are beautiful.
8/23 144 Ah phooey... knew it was too big of a drop all at once. Still, down almost half a pound since Monday. Gotta get me to gym today by hook or by crook. Did 60 min on ellip and ate within cal, below on carbs. Merry losing, ya'll.
8/24 144 Got to gym yesterday - love it. Makes me feel like Wonder Woman. Ate within cals and carbs. Waiting for a whoosh. Since the weekend is coming a lunch out with friends, I'll be extra good today and tomorrow.
8/25 143 Again! LOL Surprised as my son asked me to make Chinese drumsticks which have a lot of soy sauce = sodium. Happy Friday!
8/26 144.8 There's the sodium and 2 slices of pizza and mixed drink. Higher than when this round started. Off to camp out and maybe get some exercise. Didn't make it to gym as I'd only had 3 hours sleep. I want to see the scale say in the 142's before this decade ends.

Current weight-160.38
10 Day Goal: Get under 160 and stay there.
Day/Weight/Comment
8/21- 159.94 I doubt the weight is correct, but I'll take it for now. Exhausted today and almost caved to fast food for dinner. Instead, I chose a refrigerated soup and half a cheese sandwich for dinner. Hoping to get some food prep done tomorrow so the week runs easier.
8/22-159.72 Another tiring day here. Haven't had energy and my sleep schedule is off. Need to get back to taking my vitamins.
8/23- 159.5 My back pain has flared up, so I haven't done much more than take medication and sleep all day. Hoping tomorrow is a better day.
8/24- 159.94 Absolutely no real reason for the gain other than normal fluctuation. Remaining under calories. Hope the scale is nicer to me tomorrow.
8/25- 158.84 Tried the scale 4 different times to make sure my scale wasn't misbehaving.
I would be thrilled if I could end this challenge at 158. Still maintaining my calories and have plans to make freezer meals this weekend.
8/26- 159.06 Tiny increase today, but still very happy with my progress overall. We had dinner out with friends (Chinese) I did my best to have a small portion because I had no ideas of calories. Also, it was difficult to judge calories since we were sharing several dishes. I served up a small plate all at once so I could visually see my portion size and did not go back for seconds. I think I did fairly well, but we shall see if the scale agrees.

Round four for me!
SW: 208 (as of July 13)
GW: 125
R11: 201.0
R12: 197.6
R13 196.0
Goal for this round: Meet exercise targets.
8/21 193.6 Whoa--big drop.
8/22 192.6
8/23 197.8
Huh. Must've been that five-pound barbell I ate (I'll do anything to get out of doing curls). But seriously, I haven't been doing anything different, so I will take these fluctuations as just part of the game. And, at any rate, being healthy is more important than being thin and as long as I am taking care to eat a healthful diet in healthful proportions and get some exercise, I can weather these ups and downs. Although I would prefer not to.

8/26 197.0 I know what this bounce is about. I ate a mountain of sauerkraut yesterday and am retaining more water than a municipal reservoir. It was delicious. No regrets!!

Welcome! to all the Newbies, and Hi! to those returning for another Round. This has got me back on track big time!
Round 14: (Round 7 for me. Female, 5'2" aged 71, weight in lbs)
Update: I found a scale in one of the cupboards in our holiday cottage, so am running with it.
SW: 227; Lowest weight 18 Aug 2017: 159.2; Final goal weight: 147
Round 8: lowest, 162.0; highest, 169.0; mean, 165.5 (5 day holiday created overage)
Round 9: lowest, 164.8; highest, 169.0; mean, 166.8
Round 10: lowest, 166.0; highest, 168.0; mean 167.7 (166 on 4 days! I know I can improve on that!)
Round 11: lowest, 164; highest, 166.8; mean, 165.5 (-2.6 this round)
Round 12: lowest, 161.4; highest, 164.4; mean, 162.6
Round 13: lowest, 159.2; highest, 161.8; mean, 160.4 [/b] Very happy with this.
Daily Goals: pre-log/follow through; balance macros/micros; hydrate; 15+ strength ; 15+ flex ; 6,500+ steps ; close kitchen at 8pm!
Target weight: 158
20/8/2017: 159.4 Not on my own scale, but it will do for comparisons.
21/8/2017: 158.6 Quite surprised. Had a huge Sunday dinner, but I had walked quite a lot, and did some hiking on a nearby moor.
22/8/2017: 161.5 (NMOS) Retaining water as my knee has flared up and is rather swollen. Barely got my 6500 steps. Slightly over basic calories. But still in the green, despite having wine with dinner last night, and not hydrating enough. C'est la vie!
23/8/2017: 161 (NMOS) Goals ✅ Still nursing my knee along. Did upper body/abs workout.
24/8/2017: 163 (NMOS) This is mostly water weight. We are on holiday, and I choose to have a day off the merry go round yesterday. Cause and effect! Yesterday we went on a boat trip to Rathlin Island. Although under goal, and making as healthy choices as I could, I reckon my sodium intake was way up, and needless to say I didn't hydrate enough to flush it out. Then we went to the ice cream parlour when we got back to the mainland. On top of that we had Chinese takeaway, (more sodium!) as we were knackered after the day walking in the open air and no one wanted to cook. Today I will eat light and hydrate. PS:
Did I mention the chocolate?
25/8/2017: 164 (NMOS) Another meal out last night. And didn't hydrate enough. I will be drinking like a fish today. Thank goodness I am going home tomorrow and all these temptations are removed. I will have to buckle down and get rid of this holiday baggage.
26/8/2017: Travelling
27/8/2017: 167.2 Back to my own scale. This is no surprise after a week of eating out and holiday treats.- I know I logged the food but it's difficult to gauge the extra calories added by chefs to 'enhance' the taste, undoubtedly over Goal most days.
- I prepared food for some of the days, but one doesn't want to be a party pooper when eating out as a 'treat' with family.
- Some of the weight will go quickly, because of all the sodium and water retention.
- I will be glugging water back for the few next to days to flush out the system.
- You pay a price when you over-indulge on rich food (in more ways than one).
- One thing I have learned during the last 3 years on here is that being fit and healthy is a lifetime commitment.
- You can over-indulge, but only occasionally, and the scale is your best motivation to make sure it doesn't get out of hand.
- Each day is a new day, and a new opportunity to choose your path.

8/21 252.6 The weekend is over now it's time to get rid of water wt. and eat healthier.
8/22 252.8 Sounds about right. I could have eaten better but my exercise was pretty good.
8/23 253.3 Had a little pizza indulgence yesterday, not typical of my eating habits but I'm sure its a factor in my increase. I did walk 8569 steps so that helped offset the bad choice.
8/24 255.3 Oh my gosh, why did I eat that salty food yesterday? I know it will blow me up like a balloon. Crap.
8/25 256.0 Man I am sucking wind here what the heck, is this a challenge to see how much I can gain in 10 days?
8/26 254.1 That's more like it, my weight does fluctuate a lot I eat any salt I retain water like crazy and vise versa.
8/27 253.6 I had a pretty good day Sat. eating better, got some good steps in. Will really watch it today and log everything.

If you just take away 100 or 200 calories, or if you exercise just a little longer, you'll break through it sometimes. Don't let it get you down though. You will get there. Our weight fluctuates for a lot of different reasons. It's like a rollercoaster. Just don't give up.3 -

Round 2 for me. I really like the 10 day commitment. It breaks down an otherwise impossible goal into manageable segments. Thanks for having me!
8/21 - 202.8 - after a weekend, I'll take it. Back to eating on point, no alcohol and a LOT of water.
8/22 - 202.2 - went slightly over calories yesterday. Drank over 100 oz water. It's slow but the process is working.
8/23 - 200.8 - WHAT?! I had to step on the scale 3 times to register this. I'm sure I'll post a gain tomorrow but still psyched to see this number.
8/24 - 200.4 - honestly surprised I've maintained in this area for another day. ONEderland is so close!!
8/25 - 200.6 - still surprised I'm maintaining around here again. Thought for sure I would see a small gain. Maybe all the water I'm drinking (200 oz a day) is helping?!
8/26 - 200.8 - I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed that I haven't hit ONEderland yet. It's toying with me! Heading out for a bike ride today. Should probably revise my goal for this round.
8/27 - 200.6 - UGH. Rode my bike 10 miles yesterday. But I did gorge myself at dinner. Even though I stayed within calories it wasn't a healthy choice. Maybe tomorrow I'll hit ONEderland.

Here I am again!!!
I'll only be around the first half of this round...heading on an end of summer road trip with my boys before school starts, but I'd like to keep on top of things before we leave. I got within 2 lbs of my current goal weight for a couple of days last round and then the day trip adventures with the kids threw me for a loop...I'd like to stay under 155 and then tackle those last 5 once the routine gets back to normal when school starts.
SW - 182.4 - March 20, 217
GW- 150 for now - would like to maintain and focus on fitness for a while.
8/20 - 152.2 - coming in from round 13...on my mom's scale
8/21 - 153.8 - back on my scale...I can feel I'm holding on to water weight (plus some real weight) from my not so great food and drink choices over the weekend. Going to make the next 5 days count before we head on our trip.
8/22 - 153 - had a sleepy day yesterday but got a short trail run in and kept the eating in check.
8/23 - 152- good food day yesterday...made good clean choices and even had a small bit of really nice chocolate at the end of the day (instead of the whole bar LOL). Getting close to my lowest weight from last week before I went haywire.
8/24 - 151.2 - Can I get at WOOT WOOT!!! Back down to my lowest from last round...which is also I think my lowest since before I got pregnant with my youngest who is 10. Made the best oreo brownies with my boys yesterday and only had 1...which I used my exercise calories for (trail run and kettlebell workout)...feeling AWESOME this morning!!!
8/25 - 150.8 - SO Pleased with this week!! Excited to be so close to my goal before we head on our last trip of the summer. I'll come back with a bit of a gain to work back down but I know what I need to do. Next two days will be on my mom's scale and then I'll be scale-less for the next 4.
8/26 - 152 - on my mom's scale - fish and chips and a beer last night for dinner...they fit in my calories but the sodium and carbs are making me water puffy this morning.
8/27 - No weigh in...I think the first time in over 2 months I've missed one...but Mom and Dad weren't up before we left on our journey today so I didn't go in to use mom's scale. We're off to Ottawa and Montreal for the next 5 days so there will be Beaver Tails and Poutine consumed (among other things) LOL...I'll be back probably on Friday....have a great few days everyone!!! Finish Strong!!!

Hey everybody! I'm in again but with a late start. I've been battling the stomach flu, so just tracking my calories and forcing myself to eat and drink has been hard. Since work started back up 2 weeks ago, I couldn't call off either, so pushing myself to do that has taken all my energy.

8/25: 178.6 Back to where I started 5 days ago. I am beginning to feel more like myself now after being sick and am grateful for that.
8/26: 179.4 Well, here I go again. This round has been nutty! Lol
8/26: 178.4 I am down 2 oz from my original start weight. This round has been like a roller coaster. I have been up and down everyday, even if I just lose a lb this round, I'll be happy or not go back and stay in the 8s.

8/23: 314.0 : Why won't it move?? I'm happy it's not going up but I am working out and eating my target and under.
8/24: 314.4 : Finally some movement but in the wrong direction. I did eat a heavy dinner so guess it could be from that. Maybe now it can go down?
8/25: 314.4 : Okay with this even though was under calories.
8/26: 314.4 : Same again. Maybe something's wrong with my scales?

8/21 - 231.8 - heading back in the right direction after my family reunion this weekend
8/22 - 230.6 - hoping this holds; almost as low as I got last round
8/23 - 230.0 - a new low! Hard work is feeling like it is starting to pay off. Even if I can't see the results when I look in the mirror, I absolutely feel better and that's what is important.
8/24 - 229.0 - wow! I didn't expect that! I expect it will bounce around some, but it sure felt good to see!
8/25 - 229.0 - holding steading; TOM started today so I must have been holding on to some water weight
8/26 - 229.2 - felt pretty bloated this morning so I'm happy with this
8/27 - 229.2 - I'm not surprised. Pizza last night (sodium) and not enough sleep. Really hoping I don't bounce up tomorrow!

8/21 - 196.4 (Full disclosure, I'm quite bloated today, I ate too much salt and calorie-high food yesterday... I was 194.6 on the 20th. So if there's a big drop tomorrow it's not real weight loss. LOL)
8/22 - 197 Ok, so the bloating was a bit worse than I thought! But I'm being a good girl.
8/23 - 195.8 Yay moving in the right direction!
8/24 - 198.2 Ok, so this was a slap in the face, but I deserved it. I let myself go completely wild yesterday... Sugary foods for breakfast and snacks, Thai food (pasta) at lunch, & All you can Eat Sushi for dinner. I was 3000 caps over the limit even after my half-hearted workout. Today I will make a change and be good.
8/25 - 195.4 Yay!!! Being a good girl pays off!!! All bloating is now gone. Anything I lose from here on out is weight!!! I hoping to see 193.8 BEFORE these 10 days are over!
8/26 - 193.8!!!! I'm over the moon happy right now!!! Got on the scale 3x to make sure it was real!
8/27 - 193.8 Holding steady! I've already achieved my goal! So the next one is to see 192 before the end of this!!!
