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.

Round 30 starting weight on 1/28 at 107. Ending weight 104.0

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!
02/13 209.4 People are starting to notice!

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

Yet to check my weight.. cuddling my little boo in bed - advice please - how are some of u guys loosing 7lbs over 10 days? It’s incredible work. I feel like the more I calorie count the more frustrated I am getting! Eek! And then hungry!!

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!
