I know those two 195 weights were flukes but I am chasing them anyway!!
SW, 212 (highest recorded weight) I've no idea what my highest weight was!
R09, SW 203.4 - mean weight - 201.4
R10, SW 200.4 - mean weight - 201.1
R11, SW 200.6 - mean weight - 200.2
R12, SW 199.4 - mean weight - 197.7
R13, SW 195.4 - mean weight - 198.4
R14, SW 195.0 - mean weight - 197.2
R15, SW 197.2 -
goal for R13 R14 R15 to get under and make being under 196lbs permanent
so it seems that getting under 196 (14 stone) is proving just as difficult at getting out of the 200's was!!
3rd round lucky!!!
UGW 140
30/8 - 197.2 - pulled a muscle or strained something anyway (really not sure how or what I have done but its painful and I am struggling to even walk or get a decent nights sleep, drank my water and stayed under my calories, due to being un-able to exercise I think the calories are even more important
31/8 - 198.8 - back in pain all day so I kept the calories low, its really all I can do at the moment!
01/9 - 197 - back in a lot of pain
02/9 - 198.4 - 6000 steps (pushing myself to see if it will help my back)
03/9 - 198.4 - OK so that didn't help!! now the pain has spread into my legs also -- rest it has to be!!
04/9 - 198.6 - I've decided to drop my calories for the next week, 1300 sounds fair, I am basically sedentary at the moment.
05/9 - 199.4 - not surprised, I'm not moving!! looks like this round is a wash out - went to bed earlier as I seem to be mostly pain free there.
06/9 - 198 - I managed a slow slow shuffle when at the dentist today, I couldn't sit in the waiting room chair due to the pain so I shuffled up and down outside till it was my turn. about 20 mins. cals low.
07/9 - 196.6 - 1/4 mile walking in circles at a snails pace cals low drank water.
08/9 - 197 - so happy to be getting further away from the 200's again, I feared jumping back into them.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/31--225.9 Had a great weightlifting session yesterday and got my stretching in.
9/01--225.5 Ugh, forgot to stretch yesterday. I know the problem is because I haven't scheduled it into my day and then I just expect myself to remember to do it, but because it's not a habit yet I usually forget. So, I'm going to make sure that I stretch right after I get home from walking the dog in the morning.
9/02--225.9 Weightlifted and stretched yesterday so that was a success. I am going out for afternoon tea today so there will be additional calories today. Going out for a quick hike this morning to offset the extra calories.
9/03--225.9 Stretched yesterday. Could have drank some more water yesterday, but I'm assuming all of the tea that I drank added to my water intake.
9/04--226.4 Went out to friend's house for a BBQ yesterday. I estimated my calories and I think that I ate at or slightly over my calories, but I am definitely retaining water. Stretched yesterday.
9/05--227.2 Dehydrated. It's been so hot here lately and I have no AC, most people don't, and for this past weekend just the thought of exerting the energy to get up from the couch to get a glass of water was too much for me most of the time so I didn't drink as much water as I should have. Thankfully there is AC at work, so I've been getting my water in. Let's see what the scale does tomorrow. Stretched yesterday.
9/06--227.2 Definitely feeling better after drinking a lot more water. Forgot to stretch yesterday, ugh! Just waiting for the extra weekend water retention to release.
9/07--225.9 There it goes.
9/08--225.9 Holding steady. Stretched yesterday. I didn't drink as much water as I usually do and I can feel the difference this morning.

I've been working on healthier options for about 2 months now and yes I am down but last 3 weeks has been a see saw on the scale. It frustrating as hell since it is a MAJOR mental breakthrough point for me as well (haven't been under 300 lbs in years and last 3 weeks I have went around 304-301 back to 303 to 301.2 to 301.8 (this is today's weight) etc.) Been clean eating and lots of water (which has never been a problem with me). Also running and lifting 3 times a week and heavy bag boxing 2-3 times a week. Both days between 600-800 calorie burns just from the workouts. Daily weigh ins I believe would drive me nuts. I noticed yesterday the next tighter notch on my belt needed and I feel better, just curious about this daily thing. Is it more for accountability daily?
I find weighing daily keeps me accountable because I do think about what that cheeseburger might look like on the scale and if I don't eat the cheeseburger and I gain anyway I realize it's not because of bad choices I may have made. There was two rounds when I ended up exactly the same weight at the end of each and had I not weighed daily then I'd have not known that the second round all of my weigh ins were lower than the final weight. Weighing daily is not for everyone, but it works for me. Good luck on your journey

9/07-156.86 So I had a cry today when I realized everyone got a yummy Starbucks except me. Then husband and I got into an argument because I don't want to go out to eat. I see no point in going to a restaurant when I can't order what I actually want to eat. So mentally not having a great day. Maintaining calories.
Consider this a BIG HUG from me! Are you making this too hard on yourself?
Is your deficit too great? Are you beating yourself up for every time you go over? These things can cause us to quit. A day off is a lot better than quitting.
Maybe in the future you can check out the Starbucks calories ahead of time and choose something yummy that you can work around. There are plenty of things that even the largest size is less than 200 calories. Sure beats crying over it. Same with going out to eat.
Then, grant yourself other days when you eat with reckless abandon. Yes, these days will slow down your progress but that is your choice. Just decide what works FOR YOU. Delaying progress is a lot better than throwing in the towel totally.
I have 100 pounds to go before I hit 156 like you. The biggest challenges we have are to not beat ourselves up and to not give up. As I said earlier, BIG HUG!!!7 -
Started R6 @ 177.1
First Goal: 170 ✔️
Next Goal: 159 ... At a slow rate
End of R9: 170.2
End of R15 164.0
31/8 - 163.3 *Hit steps. Packed my lunch. Great dinner. Hit calorie goal!!
1/9 - 162.3 Hitting step goals (but not too much over) Packing lunch and having a healthy dinner. Planning on a hike around the lake on the weekend.
2/9 - 160.8. I signed up for my first 5K race. Cinnamon Bun Fun Run THEY GIVE YOU A CINNAMON BUN AFTER THE RACE!!! I have 3 months to get ready and I'm pretty excited. 12,000 steps. Calorie goals hit. Close to next goal
3/9 - 160.9. 17,651 Steps. Spent a lot of my calories on beverages. It was a hot day. Spent some time with my youngest 'back to school stuff'. Sundays goal is to hike around a lake with my oldest. Fit Family time!! I spent most of August hoovering around 165lbs. Now that I'm working on my weight it seems to be dropping at a faster rate. This should be interesting. Looking for that 5!!
4/9 - 160.3 So my kid wouldn't hike with me so I had to adjust my plan. Tried to hit 40,000 steps!! I didn't make it. 38,385 beating my best by over 1600. Maybe in a couple of weeks I can try again (SO is home this weekend) I'll have to start earlier and/or it'll have to get a little cooler out. I can see the 5's in the distance.
5/9 - 160.3 Was so hot last night, should have went swimming. It's very smokey here today and an errie yellow glow with strong scent of fire. Air quality will not be the best so step goal will be interesting. Will try and walk the Big Box stores and see if I can reach my goals.
6/9 - 160.6 Hit steps but felt a little 'off' yesterday. Never put much in full moon effects but maybe with this smoke and the full moon coming its hit me. Sleep has been terrible.
7/9 - 160.1 Hmmmm SO arrives home late Friday. Can I see a 5 before that? Let's hope. All will go out the window once he's home, not too too much but he is a great cook and he does calculate my calories. I just don't think he realizes just how calorie dense olive oil is!! All I see are 5's.
8/9 - 159.4 ............. 5's

For me, it's a way to start the day with a reminder of what I'm doing. If I start the day with a weigh in, reading all the entries in this challenge, and then considering my own situation, then I have established that this day is another day I will pay attention to how much I eat.
I know from many decades experience that when I am not weighing daily, I slide right back up to weighing twice what I ought. So, daily accountability works for me. This challenge has helped me feel part of a community sharing daily accountability.7 -

9/01 206.6 - expected this, I didn't walk much.
9/02 205.8 - happy with this, but I know my body will bounce up and down a pound for a few days before it lets the lesser pound stay lol
9/03 204.8 - Surprised!
9/04 206.0 - Not surprised LOL. I'm swollen like a puffer fish! Need to up my water intake and watch my sodium.
9/05 206.4 - Going to down lots of water today. Still pretty swollen
9/06 203.8 - Shew!!! I know this will go back up tomorrow and even out, but all that water did me good!
9/07 203.4 - Totally Surprised!!! Not my normal pattern, maybe it's the luck of this group! I'll take it!
9/08 203.0 - Lots of water and walking - My goal weight was 204, stoked that I passed it!
9/098 -
Last round’s “mid-weight” was a bit up because of a logging hiatus for 4 days but it ended at a new low so hoping for more normalcy this round and ending it nicely down in the 250s. Goal for this round is no drama! CICO!!
Round 8/1: HW 274.4 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
Round 12/5: HW 264.8 LW 261.2 MidW = 263.0
Round 13/6: HW 263.8 LW 260.6 MidW = 262.2
Round 14/7: HW 266.4 LW 259.2 MidW = 262.8
8/31 359.4 -- How nice to start out a challenge in the 250s. The top of the 250s but I’ll take it!
9/01 261.2 -- Not unexpected. Ate a commercial pizza sodium bomb and snacked away any deficit. Back to normal today and aiming toward a low sodium day, too. Lots of water to be drunk..
9/02 260.4 -- (Speaking firmly to myself) Heidi, don’t get cocky and think you can double up the deficit the day after you blow through it. You only lose control and snack right through it again!! The new normal is fragile. It must compete with lifelong dietary hubris!
9/03 259.4 -- Back to normal eating. A hearty brunch around noon, perhaps a mid-afternoon fruity snack, a hearty supper, a bit of an evening snack -- all within calories.
9/04 258.6 -- Ahhhh … CICO … self-satisfied smile
9/05 258.0 --That’s 25 pounds down! Yay!!
9/06 258.4 -- A bit salty yesterday.
9/07 258.0 -- Finally ate the “mystery” container of chicken soup from the freezer last night. I think that takes care of all the prepared food for which I have no calorie count from before I commenced logging. I used someone else’s high number for homemade and figure it’s close enough. Now I put such things in my recipes so I can retrieve it when I need it..
9/08 257.2 -- I blasted right through my deficit with excess snacking last night. Gotta cut that out! Gonna have a long, serious chat with myself today. Even more so, tonight. “Don’t snack, Heidi! Go to bed! You’re really tired not hungry!”

8/31 166.8 Happy to be back in the challenge after being away for a week. Business trip to NYC and I lost a pound! I will attribute that to less alcohol, more water, and a LOT of walking!
9/01 168.1 Pretty sure I know what this is from. I want to say TOM, but not sure when that's happening due to hormones and heat waves in my body... ugh. I am hot, I am irritable, there is a heat wave coming this weekend... Yesterday I ate too much, did not track, and did not do any planned exercise. I did get my water in, though, and am drinking it like crazy today. It's a new day and so far, so good.
9/02 168.1 Went running on the treadmill this morning after a restless night of sleep. Went out to the coast to beat the heat! Avoided a lot of sweets from here to the beach and back. Stuck with my lemonade water (I have the little 5 calorie packets of Crystal Light lemonade water enhancers for when I am not motivated to drink my water and tempted to drink sweet icy things like Starbucks iced caramel macchiattos).
9/03 166.8
9/04 166.1 It was very hot here yesterday. Drank a lot of water just to avoid the headaches. I am up to 25 minutes of running at a time on the treadmill now. Still tracking. So grateful for a day off of work today!
9/05 167.7 I took the day off yesterday and relaxed with the family. Which meant no exercise and some what I know were high sodium treats.
9/06 165.8 Would like for this to stick, so trying to stay on track today. Have had a busy work day. Totally need a run, but have Back to School Night tonight. Boo. I mean...I love my kids!
Good thing the gym is open until 9:30.
9/07 163.4 So I did stay on track yesterday... Right at my low calorie count, more hard proteins vs. soft (tuna, chicken breast) and not a lot of sugar. I ended up not exercising, because my son wanted to watch a TV show with me. So we did that. I was up three times last night, so maybe I am dehydrated today? Or maybe my exercising is paying off?
Replenishing with water today.
9/08 163.3 Got my run in last night, stayed on track with calories. Slept a little better. Thinking about those of you in the southeast. Stay safe!

I have these conversations with myself nightly. Salt and vinegar chips and nighttime TV are both my luxury and my nemesis, so I need to figure it out, too. I have been going to the Y to do some running at night. It distracts me. If I don't go running, then I walk the dog. Or drink some flavored water, or tea... or like you said, just go to bed.5 -

9/04: 222.8 Lord, I thank You! Lowest number I've seen in a long, long time! Hope this gets to be a habit!
9/05: Didn't get to weigh today! Had a doctor's appointment in Atlanta this morning (2.5 hrs. from home), but when I weighed at the dr's office, I weighed 223.8 fully dressed minus shoes! I'll take that! Ate Mrs. Winner's Chicken today! . Tomorrow is another day!
9/06: 222.4 I definitely like this number! Got my exercise in this morning! Went over my allotted calories by 28 pts. yesterday! Plan to stay on target today! I've got 3 days to reach my goal for this round!
9/07: 223.1 I have two days to make my goal of 220, but if I don't, I'm still happy with the numbers this round! Today's plan: DRINK MORE WATER! I slacked off some yesterday.
9/08: 223.5 Oh well, tomorrow is another day! I like what I'm doing!

8/31 - 132.1 I am the epitome of a yoyo for the last 2 months. I have to believe that if I want the loss bad enough, I will do the right thing. Obviously, I am not going to reach 130# this month. I leave tomorrow and return home to my regular scale. I will be interested to see what it reads
But it's not just about the numbers!
9/01 - 131.7 on the road today and no scale tomorrow
9/02 - no scale. I will be home in 4 hours and back to my comfort zone for habits (exercise and eating). Looking for that 130# and then my ultimate goal to get below that!
9/03 - 130.8 back to my scale at home.
9/04 - 130 At the gym. Back to my routine. Things are looking up.
9/05 - 130 staying steady. But have not been logging. A little afraid what tomorrow will bring. But hoping my workout mode will help me and tomorrow I will log!
9/06 - 131.6 no surprise here. The stress of Hurricane Irma and living in So. Fl is not helping. along w/not logging. I am trying to refocus and stay on track. Was at the gym this morning. Eating has been fair, but I will log!
9/07 - 131.6 Hopefully will get better...
9/08 - 130.8 I am good with that for this round.Finally below the 131 mark at the end of a round. Bring on round 16.

I missed that there was one more day oops! Hope I can hold onto being below 131# for round 16. I will fix that final # tomorrow6 -

I also had my first diet soda in a week and then because of other commitments, didn't get enough water in!5 -
@shnookie70 PLEASE still check in with us even if you aren't weighing daily.
@missionhercules I would say we each have our own reason for doing this. Personally, it keeps me accountable and because I am older (67) I don't have the hormonal issues the younger ladies might have. I like being able to track what is working for me and what isn't. I've been down this road many times and feel daily weighing works best for me.
@Terilynn78 I'm curious to see what happens on the scale tomorrow. Less carbs, more protein sounds like one of the Keto plans.2 -

@junodog1 Where in Florida are you? So many friends and family down there! Sending prayers to all.
@NormaV14 And where are you? I have family and friends scattered all over the state. 7 years living in Palm Beach county growing up gave me respect for hurricanes!
@rtls I used to treat myself to a fat free sugar free Starbucks periodically when doing Weight Watchers. Just don't do it daily AND get the smallest size. Their website has/had a thing where you could customize your beverage and get accurate nutritional info.

8/31 - 226.0 -starting off with a nice even number! Looking forward to pushing myself the next 10 days! Going to the gym today before going out of town for 3 days. I have my meals all planned and will get a chicken salad if going out for food. I will be drinking at least 5 bottles of water.
9/01 - 226.6 - expected it to go up as I did not make it to the gym and ate some salty bacon wrapped pork and perogies - I portioned it though! I am going out of town the next few days and won't be able to exercise so I will focus on trying to eat healthy and hopefully will come back weighing less than 226.6. I am bring my scale as well to weigh my food. I will look for a scale to weigh myself but if I don't find one I'll be back on the 5th!
9/02 - no scale -out of town
9/03 - no scale - out of town
9/04 -226.2!!!! Omg first time ever where i have gone on a trip and not come back weighing 5-10lbs more because I binged on everything! Im in shock!!! I ate out most meals but ordered either a wrap or salad. I treated myself to a traditional milkshake and a piece of chocolate cake to help with TOM cravings. I felt crappy after. Wow. Feeling super motivated to keep moving the numbers down on the scale rather than having to play catch up!!!!!
9/05 - 225.2! Lowest yet. Feeling great to be back into my routine. Went to the gym. Did groceries. Will hopefully get some meal prep done (If baby allows it) and maybe go for a little walk down our waterfront. I'm going to try to get down another 0.5-1lbs before the end of this challenge! I'm realizing my goal of losing 3lbs in 10 days may not be realistic/healthy so for next round I will bump it down to 2.
9/06 - 223.4 . Wow big jump!!! Probably due to a little dehydration from the gym (although I drank 125oz of water). My weight in for the Biggest Loser challenge tomorrow so hoping to maintain! I went to the gym yesterday and 4.5km walk. Heading to the gym now and picking up a few more groceries to make a few recipes I picked out. We are going on a mini honeymoon in 10 days so hoping to lose as much as I can before then and keep it off!
9/07 - 223.4 - so great that it stayed. Went to the gym yesterday and today and have eaten small amounts, no big meals. Today I am trying cauliflower pizza so that will be a treat! Healthy alternative
To real pizza! I lost 2.6lbs for my Biggest Loser Challenge this week. So so great after going away for 3 days. Currently prepping food for the week making salads, healthy snacks. Feeling in control! 2 more days to go... let's see if I can get into the 222's!
9/08 - 225.4 - back up as expected. I didn't eat much those 2 days so it makes sense it is back up. I also made some homemade pizza which i think accounted for the extra weight. Back on track today. I went for a 5km walk and will be doing baseball practice today for the tournament.

I log my weight in MFP weekly and if I only weighed in weekly I would be getting upset by the results as I have gone up (on a Monday) 4 weeks in a row, however weighing daily lets me see more clearly the peaks and troughs My lowest weight to date has been 195 and I wouldn't have known that if I wasn't a daily weigher .. the low points give me the reminder of what I am looking for and the high points remind me to give myself a kick and work a bit harder that day.
Its really not for everyone, but it suits who I am ... My husband will not stand on a scale ever .. he goes by the way his clothes fit, the scale annoys him.
