02/08- 228.5lbs. No surprise that I've gained weight in the last few weeks. I had frozen pizza the last two nights and more snack mix then I'd care to admit. But I just signed up for a 5k in two months and i really want to be in better shape for that. So I am going to get back into gear this week!!
02/09 - 227.2lbs. Yay! I didnt track yesterday and ate a bit more than I should. But I did take a nice long walk. I'm planning on being much more controlled in my diet the rest of the week, so hopefully I'll keep seeing a lower number.
02/10 - 224.6lbs. Wow. I ate Marcos cheese sticks for dinner last night... But I tracked and was still under my calorie goal. I also took a long walk. Ended the day with the flu, so I probably won't eat that much today.
02/11 - 225lbs. Well, I'm not surprised that I'm up. My husband came home last night with a frozen pizza and chips. I tried not to give in, but he only had half and offered me the rest. Plus, I was literally in bed all day with the flu so i got no exercise. Feeling a little better today, so hopefully I'll get a walk in.
02/12 - 224.4lbs. Alright, back down! I was pretty on top of my food intake yesterday. I stayed well under my calorie goal. I still didn't get much exercise. A short walk at the mall, but that's it. But today, I'm up to 2k steps already and it's only 9:45am. My husband challenged me to a contest of whoever gets the most steps by Friday gets to choose where we eat on date night this weekend. Haha. And neither of us really like the restaurant the other wants. So I'd really like to win it. Thankfully, I'm starting to feel well enough to actually go move around.

@enlightenme2 Do you track what you eat? I have discovered that it takes 2-3 days for the food I have eaten, or not, to be reflected on the scale. Check for a pattern in your tracking.
@mamabear10717 “They” used to say 8 8oz glasses of water per day which would be almost 2 liters. It took conscious effort on my part to drink that but now I drink about double that on most days. What kind of coffee are you wondering about? Plain black should not impact weight lose but when you start adding stuff to it you need to be mindful.
@FixItImp I love your long post! Not sure what plan you are following but I know the ladies doing a Ketogenic Diet experience hormonal changes some of which have resulted in “Keto babies” because PCOS is reversed. Others refer to “shark week” because of the change in their periods. Sorry if that’s TMI for the gents on here. It is what it is.
@mrs_sutsie Did you try a new battery? Not that I have a problem with a new scale but if a battery cures the problem, you could see if there is a difference between the two.

Ending Round 30 Weight: 106.9 (pounds) which was the goal . . . but . . . I have lost my edge, eating over calories, blowing off exercise and just all around not feeling motivated. Weighing daily reveals my weight is beginning to climb again.
Let's Start Over
New Beginning!
2/7 - 107.3 (goal this round is 106.5 or less of course)
2/8 - 107.0 - feeling ready to commit to the plan again: Calorie, Exercise and Wine goals
2/9 - 106.4 - I have a few days off work and can focus on my goals (looking forward to working in the yard and playing with the doggies).
2/10 - 107.1 Calorie intake is too high even for added exercise. Typical for me. Gotta stay mindful in the evenings.
2/11 - 106.8 - feels like my true weight. Hmmm . . . in theory if I have a deficit of 200 kcals/day for the next 5 days I could reach a "true weight" of 106.5 lbs which is my goal. This is doable!
2/12 - 108.1 - eek! The closer I get to the ultimate goal the hungrier I get. Starting over today (Monday). Hungry is the new normal for me

Goal for this round: 212.0
Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 = 212.6. Day one, and so far, so good (-1.4 lbs). I wanted to get mad yesterday when I didn't lose any weight in last challenge, but I need to realize that good work I do one day may not always show up the exact next day. My body fluctuates on a daily basis, and sometimes I do not get a particular number exactly when I want it. Today is a "whoosh" because I have generally been doing pretty well. Whatever does not show up on this weigh-in will show up on the next. Or the next.
02/08 = 212.4. Figured out as (wanted to say “after,” but it was “as”) I bought my lunch yesterday that it was BAD; too many calories, too much salt. I threw half of it away, ate mindfully the rest of the day/night, and ended up still staying under calories for the day. This was a big victory for me, one that I would not have had a few weeks ago. I have the gym and basketball tonight, so I’m hoping to keep the positive vibes rolling!
02/09 = 211.4. This is feeling easy again. Under calories last night not including exercise. Took a walk during the day, went to the gym to lift weights, and played basketball for an hour. I know this is hard (I remember last week!), but it doesn’t feel that way right this second. This is my version of being in the zone. I know it won’t last forever, but I’m enjoying it. I wish this feeling on all of you!
02/10 = 212.6. Ate out twice yesterday. It’s funny. I woke up feeling great yesterday, but my energy level dropped like crazy as the day went by, and I was pretty much spent by lunch. I'm pretty sure I'm fighting off a cold (at least), and that I'm in a vulnerable state as a result (eating-wise). I’m realizing that this is also a pattern, and one of those things that can really throw me off of any good habits I might have. I ended up having both lunch and dinner out. I didn’t eat “crazy,” but I definitely could have made better choices. I was slightly over my calorie goal for the day (estimated), and definitely way over in Na+. I’m feeling a little better this morning, so I’m going to go to the gym, then play basketball, and see if I can have a really good weekend of eating mindfully, staying in control, and NOT being sick. Today will be the first time my wife has seen me play basketball in the 14 years we have been together (6+ of them married).
02/11 = 212.0. Ate out twice again yesterday! I kept things under control for the most part, and it was a great basketball day. It’s SO HARD to estimate calories when I eat out certain places.
02/12 = 211.4. Here’s what I’m NOT going to do right now: make a new goal for this challenge. Every time I’ve done that so far it’s been a kiss of death. That being said, I’m quite pleased with the number. I did well yesterday, stayed within calorie goals, and likely shed some salt/water weight from the past couple of days. Slow and steady. Don’t get too excited or too upset, no matter what the scale says. Keep doing all the good things you’ve been doing up to this point. AND basketball is tonight!

Ultimate Goal: 143.5
LCHF, Yoga, Walking and Lifting weights
2/7 :: - 153.3 Great day food wise and exercise wise!
2/8 :: - 153.4 food was pretty much spot on until I bought a giant cookie and devoured it - mind you it was my birthday and my only non-low carb treat and dang it was good! I also got in 13k+ steps and lifted weights! I expect to see my weight pop up in a few days due to water retention!
2/9 :: - 153.4 had a good day! I played around with some low carb baking and it turned out well. In the freezer now to enjoy this upcoming week!
2/10 :: - 153.4 today is bday celebrations with the family at the original pancake house. I will try to be good hehehehe went higher in carbs BUT I didn't order pancakes. Shared an omelet and had toast - sour dough toast with butter and strawberry preserves sooooo good!
2/11 :: - 153.4 today got in some steps trying out some new running shoes in my living room and lifted...I Am SORE !! Well...I was doing well with carbs but I ended up too hungry and when I made a low carb chili I ended up eating some Trader Joe Corn Poppers (which are to die for!), and I bet I ate far too many
2/12 :: - 155.0 - water weight likely from weight lifting the day before

02/07 - 173.5 Focus today - WATER! Not my favorite beverage but it will be today.
02/08 – It's now 9:00 pm and I heading to bed. I totally forgot to weigh this morning. Had to be at work at 6:00 am. Got up at 4:40 am. Weighing was the farthest thing from my mind. I did stay within my calories but was way short on water. Did 30 minute of circuit training at the gym and walked 12,067 steps. Let's see what tomorrow brings.
02/09 – 172.0 Need to definitely do better on my water but I'll take it!
02/10 – 172.1 Went out to dinner last night. Glad there was not much change cuz I wasn't as diligent as I should have been watching my portions. Got up this morning and walked 5 miles. I've already got my 10,000 steps in. Let's keep it going.
02/11
02/12 – 173.6 Not surprising. Yesterday was a blur. Totally forgot to weigh and record (not a good start). Met a friend for lunch, had crab ravioli. Did a lot of running around, very little water and had Japanese food for dinner (sodium city). The weekends are my downfall. I've got to find a strategy to get through them. Now, I'm worse off then when I started!

Round 31 Starting Weight: 151.6
Ultimate Goal Weight: 120
Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 - 150.6 lbs: Been eating around my calorie limit of 1200. Measuring my food out. No complaints!
02/08 - 150.4 lbs: I was really under my calorie goal, but during the whole day yesterday, I didn't feel hungry.
The hunger hit me when I went to bed.
02/09 - 150.8 lbs. Agreeable. Yesterday's calorie-intake was a bit of an overload due to boredom.
02/10 - ????? lbs. Had a funeral to attend to yesterday, and ate all of my feelings away. Had a big feast last night. Ate so much I didn't care to log in everything in because I was with family and friends for support. No biggie, just cheated the whole day today.
02/11 - 156.8 lbs. GAINED 6 lbs within 2 DAYS. Understandable... My last meal yesterday was ramen, and so all of that salt retained my weight, right? Correct me if I'm wrong guys lol. I promise to do better today. Fruits with coffee isn't bad for breakfast.
02/12 - 156.8 lbs. Still 6 lbs more than from a few days ago. I could be starting my menstruation. Drank lots of water yesterday. Weekly weigh-in is tomorrow

Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 / 286.4 / Giving myself a cheat day for the Super bowl was a bad mistake. It took until today to correct the damage from salt intake, and I gained weight. Cheat days come at a huge cost.
02/08 / 284.4 / Wow. Guess it took until today to get rid of the salt!
02/09 / 284.2 / Keeping to the program, drinking a lot more water than 8 cups (never more than 12, no worries!)
02/10 / 282.8 / Yay! This is even with company over, and 5 oz of wine. Truth is, I really don’t want more wine. A glass is perfect.
02/11 / 280.8 / I really think this is just me getting my salt intake under control. I’m cooking my own food now and phasing out the “Atkins slurry” frozen dinners xD
02/12 / 281.4 / Salt intake way up. Yesterday was the fluke.

Female, 5'4"
Starting Weight: 135 lbs
Goal Weight: 115 lbs - Met in late 2017
I met my goal weight in late 2017. My new goal now is to stay around 115 average. Lately I've been ranging around 111-113 lbs. My body seems to like a lower weight than my 115 goal so I'm not going to fight it. I love this group & enjoy the daily check ins. It's about the seemingly unimportant decisions. But consistently making them everyday is what leads to success.
Goal This Round: Maintain 115 lbs Average
02/07 • 112 • Ran 3.5 miles. 1400 cal.
02/08 • 111 • Ran 3.5 miles. 1400 cal.
02/09 • 112 • Ran 3.5 miles. 1350 cal.
02/10 • 111 • Ran 3.5 miles & lifted weights. 1550 cal. 5 servings of alcohol
02/11 • 111 • Played 3 sets of tennis. 1600 cal. 4 servings of alcohol.

02/07 - 184 So disappointed with myself, my body likes this number, there are three empty wine bottles on the counter since Saturday. My 330 streak logging MFP is now 3 days because I missed a day. AARRGGGHHHH... need to get my head into this! Nice to see all the JGM10D beautiful people though
I once had a nutritionist tell me that drinking alcohol to the point where you can feel it the next day, will stall weight loss. So in addition to CICO, it takes a toll on you and your body will take care of what ails you, instead of paying attention to those pounds you are trying to move. Best thing to do... HYDRATE HYDRATE HYDRATE!

Another 10 days!! I started doing this challenge in Round 2...so this is my round 30...that will make 300 days of daily weighing and checking in by the end of this round (except for two trips I took where I didn't have access to a scale). For all the newbies...the fluctuations take some getting used to, but weighing daily starts to make you really aware about what affects your scale weight besides true gains/losses. Weighing weekly or less sometimes means you will miss your highs and lows and you also miss out on important trends.
SW - 182.4 - March 2017
Original GW - 145 - achieved in October 2017
New GW - 140
I was maintaining around 143 for a couple of months before Christmas and then things started creeping back up to 145. I'd like to get down to averaging 140.
02/06 - 144.8 - coming in from round 30...with a rolling 7 day average of 144.5
02/07 - 145.6 - finishing up TOM and haven't been great about keeping away from the carbs lately. I could totally just blame it on TOM but really I need to grab my water bottle and a piece of gum instead of shoving chocolate and bread in my pie hole....
02/08 - 146.6 - ARgh...no one to blame but me again. Did some baking to freeze for the kids lunches and did far too much sampling. Went to bed with crazy heartburn, haven't experienced that in ages so I learned my lesson.
02/09 - 144.2 - Yep...a low carb day can work wonders.
02/10 - 144.4 - So busy this weekend..just getting online now to post this morning's weight. Up early for hockey and didn't sleep well so that may explain the slight blip up, Kcals and activity were perfect yesterday.
02/11 - 143.4 - Up super early again for an away tournament...feeling very dehydrated, I'm keeping my water going in but this weather is sucking all of the moisture from my body!!
02/12 - 144.4 - hockey tournament days are hard for food...eating happens when and where it can in between games. Had way too many calories for lunch...but hardly ate anything for dinner...too much sodium for sure...

Maan - I was just thinking about how difficult things might be to get the weight off this time, and I came across this. This is a great idea - I'm in!!
**Round 31**
Heaviest/Round 31 Starting Weight: 235lbs at 5’ 11” (Feb 6th 2018)
Lightest Weight: 175lbs (March 2009)
Round 31 Goal Weight: 232 lbs
Ultimate Goal Weight: 185 lbs
Daily Goals:
Drink 90-120oz of water daily; consume 1300 cal and measure food; no added sugars/sweeteners; around 1500mg sodium intake max; get in as many steps as possible; do chi gung; sleep more than 6 hours nightly!
Day/Weight/Comment
02/07: 235 – Almost hit a snag when a major meal ingredient ended up missing, but found a good substitution! Sodium went over pretty badly (2711 mg) – I’ll have to reduce prepared foods for tomorrow. Steps were on the lower end. Everything else good!
02/08: 234.4 - Number moving in the right direction! Missed chi gung, but measuring steps now that FB Blaze is operational. Sodium vastly improved, but still 300 mg over goal.
2/09: 233.6 – All day before dinner was great, hitting all goals! Except…dinner came with pizza, which probably ended up being not so great for both calorie goals and sodium intake. We’ll see how tomorrow looks!
02/10: 234 – Shabbat means rest, and often results in laxity . Off on water and sleep, chi gung was absent, steps were low (hanging around the house), and I ate a lot more, junk or not. Will have to figure out how to manage this better.
02/11: 236.2 – Number did not surprise me due to Shabbat habits, but I did not like seeing that. It often comes down after a day of disciplined wellness, but we’ll see. Food and exercise goals were on point, but this was my second night with interrupted or less sleep that aimed for. The workweek should put me back in routine for this. Let’s see if I’m impacted by this…
02/12: 234.8 Number is going back in the right direction! I’ll be foregoing Shabbat laxity for the next few rounds.

Round 31 (1st Round for Me)
Goal: Lose 2 lbs., 10,000 + Steps, Include Strength Tr., Eat with in Calories, Lots of Water!
Day/Weight/Comment
02/07: 246
10,083 Steps, 30 Min. Yoga, Ate 400 Cal. over Goal, No Gain or Loss
02/08: 244.2
-1.8 lbs. Yay! I know weight fluctuates and this will probably go up and down throughout the 10 days but it's encouraging to see. I can see why you are all saying that weighing yourself daily is a good thing, to show patterns and what effects your body. 10,246 Steps, 20 Min. Lower Body Str. Training, Ate within my Calories.
02/09: 241.8 (Very close to hitting my 1st goal weight!)
-2.4 lbs. Wow! I've been on and off Fitness Pal for years but when I would log in it would be me guessing and not being completely honest. Not using it every day, and even when I did I usually was way over my calorie range. The last few days I've logged every bite.
10,438 Steps, 1 Hour Walk, Ate within all MFP goals.
02/10: 242.6
+0.8 lbs. First gain in the challenge. Yesterday I ate within my calories but ate all of my exercise calories and went 10 over in sugar. Drank about half the water I usually do and was in a lot of pain last night (back, legs, and feet). So, I might be retaining water due to this. No where close to 10,000 Steps. 30 min. Arms and Abs w/ Cardio.
02/11: 240.8
-1.8 lbs. Back down again. I didn't think I would be losing this much, I've had such a hard time losing weight the last few years. Even though I've been eating really healthy, drinking lots of water and being more active. The staying within the calorie goal and logging everything seems to be the answer. Yesterday I ate within my goal and walked a little under 10,000 steps.
02/12: 240.6
-0.2 lbs. Ate within range, walked 9,775 Steps, and did 30 min. lower body str. training. That makes 5.4 lbs. lost for the week! (Mon. was my weekly weigh in day before the challenge)
And I'm almost to my 1st goal of 239.

I'm back. We will be moving soon, and driving for a week beginning on the 16th, so my goal for the next two rounds is to maintain. Losing a bit would be great, but I won't worry about that, esp. when we're on the road. Thanks again for this group!
Goals this round - Maintain weight; eat mindfully; exercise when possible.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 - 147
A little surprised, but I walked 3.5 miles yesterday and spent an hour packing and moving boxes around, so it's probably "muscle water" since I stayed within my calorie goal.
02/08 - 147
I went out for dinner last night and my sodium for the day was high, so still water. Otherwise I've been on target and have taken advantage of non-rainy days for nice long walks. I'm happy maintaining, but I won't lie - I'd love to hit 146 before we hit the road. We shall see!
02/09 - 146.8
There's that number again! We hit the road a week from today. Will I drop .8 lb by then? Maybe....
02/10 - 147.2
Makes no sense. But ok, whatever.
02/11- 147.2
And here we are again.
I'm actually quite happy with my resistance to stress eating, living in a house full of boxes and all the other "stuff" that comes with moving, and I think this little uptick is pretty much meaningless. I've stayed on track with calories and macros, and have even gotten a little exercise. All good!
02/12 - 146.8
Up down up down....

@mamabear10717 Up to 6 cups a day should not have a detrimental effect on hydration. In fact, according to my doctor all liquids count towards your 8 glasses a day, not just water. But of course, other liquids do have calories that have to be counted whereas water has none.
JGM10D | 2018 Edition | Round 4
(Round 31)
Long-term Focus: In the normal range for my age height and build, on maintenance.
I HAVE the power and determination to do this.
Primary Goal - 160lbs +/- 2lbs. Lose 1lb per round. [/color]
to Round 31
This has given me a motivational element of daily accountability.
Observations, and Previous RoundsIt takes many years to put on excess weight, so It follows that it takes much time to remove, but it does come off, bit by stubborn bit! If you stick with it! The game continues!
Body weight fluctuates, both up, and down, from one day to the next depending many factors.- Changes often take several days to show on the scale.
- A drop is often followed by a bounce up before it settles back down. A general downward trend is the aim.
- A high sodium day usually results in a gain due to water retention, unless you drink extra fluids to flush it out.
If you are making positive lifestyle changes it will lead to increased health and fitness.
Slow and steady leads to sustainable weight loss.
But remember to live a little along the way!

02/08 - 272.0
- Holding steady. Too much sodium last night, but stayed within my calorie goal.
02/09 - 271.6
- This was a planned "over" day for me. It always makes me a bit nervous when I exceed my usual calorie goal by several hundred calories, but I'm just trying to remind myself that it will be fine.
02/10 - No Data
- I try to only use the scale at work, so I won't be weighing in today or tomorrow as it is the weekend. I somehow managed to keep it under 1,800 calories for the day, which almost never happens on Saturday!
02/11- No Data
- Another good day. I struggle to find things to occupy my time on the weekends. I don't love going to work during the week, but at least it keeps me busy.
02/12 - 269.8
- Yay! It had been a mini-goal of mine to be in the 260s by my birthday in a couple of weeks, but I got there early!
