Day/Weight/Comment
02/07: 119.7kg/263.9lbs - The scales were laughing at me this morning, they showed: 118.5, 118.0, 117.7 before finally 119.7kg - I chose to take the last reading as I would hate to think I'm lower than I actually am. I expected to bubble up slightly so I'm quite happy. Good start to the round so far! Onwards and DOWNWARDS.
02/08: 119.8kg/264.1lbs - Scales gave me 4 different numbers... This is beginning to get a little frustrating. Probably going to have to invest in a new set of scales! The numbers it did give me were great, don't get me wrong. I just like numbers and would like them to be as accurate as possible!
02/09: 118.5kg/261.2lbs - Scales were finally consistent!! WOOOOO. Off to my better half's parents this weekend for a birthday, I'm excited though as I know I can 100% restrain myself from too much cake etc. Managed to fit in a retro jumper this morning (haven't worn for 6 months) which is a size large, I used to be XXL - huge NSV! TGIF.
02/10: 119.2kg/262.8lbs – Very indulgent day watching the rugby, eating cheese and going out for a curry. Celebrated a birthday and didn’t have any cake – winning.
02/11: 119.0kg/262.3lbs – Small drop from the previous, want to get back in the 118’s. Did have some cake today and more cheese haha however I did managed a 5.5 mile run through the Ribble Valley – It was incredibly scenic.
02/12: 118.9kg/262.1lbs – Back home in York, and my housemates accidentally switched my freezer off and over £50 worth of food has defrosted and had to be binned. What a nightmare aye, but we have managed to save a bit of meat and will be prepping meals tonight. Back to the gym tonight and hopefully I can shed some more weight before Friday!!
02/13: 117.9kg/259.9lbs – I hope this is correct!! Felt off in the gym last night so had to cut the session short, hoping to make up for it tonight. Feeling really fresh, meals for the week prepped and even had some pancakes today!
02/14: 118.2kg/260.6lbs – I expected to bubble up somewhat. I’m still happy, it’s nice to be down overall and there’s two days left!
02/15: 117.8kg/259.7lbs – I did not expect this; I went out for sushi followed by a few beers last night so I was very surprised I dropped. Let’s see if I can creep down a little bit more tomorrow. Nearly 2kg down this round!!

Round 3
MFP SW 210
R29 SW 189.2 EW 186.6
R30 SW 184.6 EW 182.6
I'd like to get to 180 this round.
02/07 183.6 I expected this, as I got a RED sodium warning when logging my food yesterday. I made some bad food choices for lunch and skipped dinner. I have to really work on eating out less. I take lunch to work and end up eating out anyway! Smh
02/08 182.6 Did cardio and weight training. Ate IN and stayed within my calories. Macros were pretty good also.
02/09 182.6 Feeling good. Still motivated to make good choices.
02/10 181.8 Yesterday was a hot mess. I was in a car accident. I wasn't hurt but was shaken up. Had coffee for breakfast, a lunch full of bad carbs, no dinner, and forget to log, so my streak is gone. But I'm glad I'm okay, and I'm thankful the scale was nice to me this morning!
2/11 182.4 I had vodka and pound cake.They were worth it!
2/12 182.4 Had a decent day that included an ER visit for muscle spasms. I didn't overeat, cooked and ate in, did a little ab work and 40 minutes of cardio at the gym even though I was exhausted. I was hoping to have a loss, but I'm thankful that I was able to push past the stress and make good choices. One day at a time…
2/13 182 I was sleepy after work bc I only slept 4 hours Sunday night, but I forced myself to the gym. I had a good jog and did arms, shoulders, a little abs, and a few squats. I ate back some of my calories, could've used more protein and water but had a good day overall.
2/14 181.8 I was mostly sedentary yesterday bc of work, and had no time to workout. I could've stood more water intake, ate dinner too late, but didn't give in to my sugar cravings.
2/15 182 Yesterday, I was able to fully jog the 1.84 miles of hills around my neighborhood for the first time in 2.5 years. Also, desserts are my weakness, and we had an abundance of cupcakes, muffins, cookies, and pizza at work, and I managed to refrain and chose my healthy lunch from home and a couple of pieces of fruit instead.
Most days, the number on the scale doesn't reflect my efforts, so I'm learning to lean more on the other “signs" to measure my progress and just use the scale as a supplement. The ability to make good choices, getting stronger, and building endurance tell me more and keep me going! Thankful for progress and the will to keep moving forward!

02/07: 136.8 - yay! AF began and I lost some water weight. stuck to my calorie goal yesterday for the first time in days by going to bed early when the nighttime munchies hit!
02/08: 137.0 - I couldn’t seem to resist eating at maintenance yesterday
02/09: 136.4 - stuck to my calorie goal. my goal today is no snacking!
02/10: 136.8 - failed. asked husband to hide valentines candy.
02/11: 136.2 - didn’t feel great today, didn’t feel like snacking. ate right at calorie goal.
02/12: 136.0 - I did well yesterday. Getting a little sick of this number but at least it’s going down.
02/13: 134.4 - WHOOSH! I’m so excited; I’d been holding onto 136 since January. New goal: 130!
02/14: 134.8 - still pleased
02/15: 135.3 - I am not surprised. I’m feeling pretty bloated and backed up, the candy I ate last night, while within my calories, is not helping with that uncomfortable feeling. It’s also not unusual for me to gain a little water weight back after a whoosh.

Since joining the give me 10 challenges I have love over 15 pounds! My goal is to just move in the right direction, but if I could lose 3.... ambitious I know, I would be ecstatic!
02/07 211.8 TOM and still a loss... I'll take it.
02/08 211.8 I am a teacher, and yesterday was a snowday... Normally a snow day is a license to bake and eat. Some people buy milk and eggs, I would get nacho supplies and Elio's pizza! Not today, I stayed on track all day and it wasn't even to much of a struggle.
02/09 211.2 Gonna be honest, thought it was going to be more.
02/10 210.8
02/11 210.0 slow and steady wins the race
02/12 209.4 Nothing like a Monday loss!

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...
02/13 - 144.8 - made some poor choices food wise again yesterday...activity was good though...
02/14 - 144.6 - still hanging around in the 144's....Had a good day yesterday...pre-logged all my food and stuck to it. If I can keep doing that I'll get down to where I want to be.
02/15 - 144.6 - still here

I think you'll find that most of the people dropping that much in 10 days are just starting logging and tracking. The first few weeks of "weight loss" efforts tend to show larger drops due to increased hydration and lowering calories from carbs etc. It's mostly water weight. Long term sustainable weight loss shouldn't happen that quickly. If it does, it's not healthy and can be more from decreased muscle mass than actually reducing fat stores. Depending on your current weight, a healthy sustainable rate should be no more than 2lbs per week, much less if you weigh less. If you're in it for the long term, it's a long term process.
editing to add...2lbs per week is likely an average as well...it's not linear. I had weeks I lost nothing over the last 11 months... and then whoosh...3-4lbs in one week. The body releases what it wants when it wants but if you are consistent in your calorie deficit it will come off. It's math and science, not magic.

Back Again
02/07.. 143.4 At goal for last round.. Yeah! Did an hour pool exercise yesterday. Today -? I don't know but something. Goal for this round is to lose another pound so 142.4 Getting back to it. Been experimenting making my own protein bars. They taste great and are high protein, low carb and costs less than my favorite Quest bars.
02/08...143.4 50 min on ellip which is probably why I'm the same even after 2 small egg rolls. Today, protein bars, salad and eggs ...no wine.. I'd Like to see a drop.
02/09..144.2 Why the increase? Don't know. Made some cheesy cauliflower breadsticks; perhaps the salt in the parmesan? Ate clean except for 2 small cookies. No wine. I guess it's just fluctuation.
02/10.. 144.2 no exercise to speak of and indulged - martini and some pumpkin pie. Glad it's not worse. Today, exercise and clean eating. Cold Saturday here.
02/11 143.8 Exercised in pool yesterday... felt so good and good to know I don't need a class to do it. Sunday love to all.
02/12... 143.8 No exercise yesterday but walking around at a craft fair & antique shop. Ate most calories by mid afternoon. Can I get to 142.4in the next 4 days? Let's try.
I believe in my ability to lose weight and keep it off.
02/13..143.4 Hey! I'm back where these 10 days started! 70 min ellip and lots of veggies.
I crave fresh and healthy foods.
02/14.. 143.6 As someone else said, my body seems to like this neighborhood. I've been here forever. Did another 70 on ellip yesterday and ate clean, with plenty of veggies, with no eating back calories earned exercising. Had a glass of wine so maybe the increase and lack of decrease has something to do with that. I really want to get out of the darn 140's.
02/15...143.4 Back where I started. Went to gym but then to Chinese food after. Come on, Give me a Whoosh!

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
2/13 108.1 - not to panic, I followed the plan yesterday - a correction is coming soon.
2/14 108.0 On the right track now but not breaking any records. Going to stay out of the office where the almond rocha is and have a nice dinner out tonight (not too much wine).
2/15 107.9
2/1612 -
Historical SW (January 2015): 245 lbs
Recent SW: 220.0 lbs (1/14/18)
Ultimate GW (for now): 195.0 lbs

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!
02/13 = 211.6. I'm a little confused here. I destroyed it at basketball yesterday. I think I was within calories a too, even without my exercise calories. The only thing I can think of is that my lunch estimation was off in calories and/or Na+. My water intake was also a little low, particularly on a basketball day. Whatever! Things are still going well. No basketball for a week and a half, so I need to stay focused and add some cardio at the gym.
02/14 = 210.6. Ate pretty well yesterday except for the TINY piece of cake my co-worker brought to share after lunch. She’s on Weight Watchers, and I’m sure she did not want to eat the whole thing, plus she’s really sweet… DAMN I LOVE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING! I felt like an addict getting their first taste after a period of abstinence. My whole day was great except for that cake. I THINK I made up for it; I tried to overestimate its calories, and ended up under my calorie goal overall. Tonight should actually be pretty healthy. I’m taking my wife out to our favorite sushi place (we usually don’t go out for V-Day at all, but rather save the celebration for the weekend). I’m still not changing my goal for this challenge. I’m still not changing my goal for this challenge. I’m still not changing my goal…
02/15 = 209.6. Less than 15 pounds to goal! Very little exercise yesterday, but did REALLY well eating (especially for V-Day). Had one cookie toward the end of the night, but totally stayed within my calorie goal. Lots of water, good with Na+, and I’m really f***ing happy right now. Gym tonight, but no basketball for another week. Going to lift weights with wife, then do extended cardio (including HIIT) while she goes to Zumba. I think I may be becoming a bit superstitious in this process… is that okay?

Goal = work slowly toward new goal weight 127.0 (then we will see, UGW may be 125)
2/7 - 130.6 - under calories and a short walk, short row yesterday.
2/8 -131.0 - not a great day yesterday, nice walk at noon but no real workout and a bit over calories. Emo day about family stuff, and work is crazy right now. Plus side, trying to rehydrate and that may be part of the "gain"
2/9 - 131.4 - great workout yesterday and also phenomenal overeating. Back to sanity today, trying to stay mindful, breathing at work. Trouble adhering to my limit now that I am so close to goal, part of me says "good enough" but this is the pattern - get to goal and then re-gain! Not, not, not this time.
2/10 - 131.6 - over yesterday and no workout. 12 hours sleep tho. Guess why the discipline was slipping so bad? I think I was totally exhausted. Today so far, more stable and less cravings.
2/11 - 131.6 - yesterday under calories, thanks to a killer workout and 16,000 steps lol. Today so far, not good at all. Aagghh! My discipline is non existent.
2/12 - 131.2 - yesterday under maintenance, though not under my .5/week loss plan. BUT I RAN 6.1 MILES yesterday and it was awesome ... I sometimes forget for a while how much I love running. I resist because it's so hard. But then I get out there and I love it ...
2/13 -130.8 - hello again 130.x - yesterday under calories, only "workout" was walking back to work in the evening which is not my favorite... get stuff done with nobody there though!!
2/14 -130.0 - THIS IS MY ORIGINAL GOAL weight. Go me, thanks fitbit, MFP and ALL my friends. Run and elliptical last night, under calories.
2/15 - 130.2 - grotesque headache all day yesterday, a bit over calories, and no workout other than a short walk at lunch. Not worried by the bounce, planning to use standing workstation and stretch today to avert further pain.

I've done this a couple of times in the past. A LOT of it is water weight and definitely depends on what your eating habits were before counting calories (ie. lots of salt and carbs) and afterwards (less salt and carbs). After the first couple of weeks this slows down and you get into a more normal weight loss. So don't worry! If you are eating a deficit you are losing. I'm currently at a 500 cal deficit a day and lose between 1-3lbs a week. Trust the process.

This is my first round. Thanks to this thread, I feel better in making decisions with what I eat.
Good luck to everyone and wish you all success!
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 TOM. Drank lots of water yesterday. Weekly weigh-in is tomorrow
02/13 - 155.2 lbs. This extra weight that I gained after 3 days frustrates me. I don't know what to say.
02/14 - 153 lbs. Thinking about doing a smoothie diet.
02/15 - 151.8 lbs. Finally, thank you God. Well I'm 0.2 lbs over from when I started this round.

**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. Have been below my calories just slightly and have been finding I am tired earlier than normal, so I want to make sure I hit those and the macro ratios involved. No chi gung, so I’ll want to do that and up my steps for tomorrow.
02/13: 233 – Under my last lowest weigh-in! Fingers are crossed for my R31 goal! The menu and morning went well. Day progressed decently but got derailed due to a work issue. Got home late and early tiredness returned and knocked me out, resulting in dinner, chi gung, and the last water intake being missed for the day.
02/14: 232.2 – Was able to get up super early (4am) and prep the whole day out. Everything was perfectly on point but the chi gung (still haven’t successfully moved it to the morning). Best day of eating, water, prep (set through the weekend and shopping for next week on Friday), steps, and other supporting factors so far. I’m really excited to hopefully see more progress weighing in tomorrow.
02/15: 229.8 – Whoo hoo! More to come on this day tonight or tomorrow, but this is great and the day is starting out right!

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.
02/13 / 282 / Just riding this out. Still eating to plan.
02/14 / 279.6 / Rode it out. I’m thankful for this group. I can see so many people at various levels of fitness and weight loss and I know now that this kind of thing happens to everyone, all the time. It is not that my body doesn’t know how to lose weight.
02/15 / 278.8 / Yay! I did not eat according to plan last night due to my Valentine. I saved calories for it.
