So much for feeling better on the anti-inflammatory plan - today I'm hurting all over. But I'm sticking with it - I know it takes at least a few weeks for dietary changes to make a difference. I managed to work in my garden for a while yesterday, dead heading flowers & other smallish jobs. I'm going for a walk now, before it gets too hot. Walking does seem to help a little.
8/07 - 146.4 - 1112 - 10-day ave 1344
Eating mostly veggies with some fruit, fish, eggs, nuts. I slept a lot of yesterday, which did seem to help the pain a little. Today is rainy, so I guess I'll be walking indoors.
8/08 - 145.6 - 1268 - 10-day ave 1306
The good news is I'm losing weight on my anti-inflammatory diet. The bad news is I hurt all over. Got blood work back for array of auto-immune issues - all negative, thankfully, but something's going on. I keep pushing myself to walk, but mostly I don't feel like doing much. Whine.
8/09 - 146 - 1072 - 10-day ave 1265
Just wasn't hungry yesterday, but I'll push for more calories today. Never thought I'd say that!
8/10 - 145.2 - 1080 - 10-day ave 1248
Another lots-of-veggies not-very-hungry day with low calories. I'm off to see a rheumatologist this morning (and - more promising to me - an integrative medicine doctor next week) to try to get a handle on my pain, and afterward we're going to try a new-to-us vegan/vegetarian restaurant my hubby spotted. They have a very interesting menu and I plan to EAT. :-) I am happy about my downward weight trend, though, since cutting out bread and pasta and meat other than fish. Have a lovely weekend, all!
8/11 - 146.2 - 1009 - 10-day ave 1175
I never thought I'd say this, but I clearly need to eat more. I just haven't felt hungry beyond what I'm eating the past few days - lots of veggies, black beans, chick peas, fish, brown rice, fruit mostly. The up tick must be sodium from the very excellent vegan/vegetarian restaurant we tried yesterday, though the food didn't taste salty. Really delicious! I saw the rheumatologist yestetrday and he wants to put me on a short course of prednisone, and I'm extremely reluctant yet sorely tempted because of the pain I'm in. Appt. with integrative med doctor on Thursday, and I'm trying to suck it up until I see her. Maybe I can just take long walks (they loosen me up) and sleep until then? Pain sucks. I hope you're all feeling better than I am! (I'll stop whining soon.)
8/12 - 145.6 - 1187 - 10-day ave 1160
Well, my low calories explain my weight loss this round, but I need to eat a few more calories. I just haven't felt hungry after meals and snacks. I went for a lovely walk last evening along the river, which made my aches and pains feel a little better for a while, and otherwise had a lovely, laid-back Saturday. UU pitch-in today - I can't eat the goodies I'm taking, but someone will!
8/13 - 145.4 - 1336 - 10-day ave 1168
I had to guestimate calories from the pitch in, but I stuck to vegetables and fruit and did pretty well, I think. Looking forward to a salmon salad for lunch!
8/14 - 145.6 - 1179 - 10-day ave 1158
I'm feeling a little better this morning - less pain - and hopeful that my anti-inflammatory diet & walking are going to relieve the pain without the steroids (I have not picked up the prednisone prescription and won't until I see the integrative medicine dr. on Thurs.) I feel that most traditional doctors & specialists are quick to prescribe & pretty cavalier about the risk of side effects, which are common and nasty with prednisone. Anyway, the bonus of eating mostly veggies, whole grains, like that), fish, nuts & seeds has been a return to a downward weight trend. All good! BTW, I've been reading everyone's updates every day, and although I haven't been responding much, I'm inspired by all of you. Thanks!

8/06 - 185.4- starting up a bit, had a lovely weekend away that involved adult beverages, little water, lots of sodium. a road trip with my love, a visit with my best friend and her family. Pure happiness!
8/07 - 184.8 - Still a little heavy on the sodium and carbs yesterday. Also no exercise at all.
8/08 - 184.6 - Made a poor choice on supper last night. Did go for a walk to try to get rid of calories, but it was slow and not quite 3kms.
8/09 - 184.0 - Had a fairly decent eating day yesterday and managed even amongst the smoke and heat to get a walk in.
8/10 - 184.6 - High carb meal last night because we went out so we could eat in air conditioning. I was not cooking in 38 degree heat.
8/11 - 184.2 - No exercise yesterday except for a short walk in the afternoon. Just too hot and smoky. Not a great eating day, I seemed to be hungry all day long. Did manage to only be over goal by 150 or so though.
8/12 - 184.6 - not the best day for eating or exercise.
8/13 - 183.2 - This was a bit of a surprise, yesterday wasn't the best day either for eating.
8/14 - 182.2 - Well I wish today was the end of the round! This is officially 20 pounds gone! It's been a slow process and I've had some bumps along the way but it seems pretty sustainable. Onto the next 10!

WOOOHOOO! Congrats on 20 lbs lost - what a great accomplishment!9 -
Hey! I just stumbled on this great group and love the idea of "just 10 days" -- so even though it's almost over for this round, I'm jumping in and will join again next round!
I started August 2016 after seeing a picture of myself that was ALL stomach! Ugh! I was 152 lbs. which doesn't sound bad, but believe me, the picture was BAD! I'm 5'3" (sometimes 5'3.5" even! LOL!) and my whole life I was "pear shaped" but I ALWAYS had a waist -- so this was a wake up call. Oh -- and I am now 60 yrs. old. Yup! For some reason it took me decades to get where I've always wanted to go weight and body-wise. But at least now I'm here.
SW: 152 (but I have been as high as 195!) Aug. 2016
LW: 120.2 (that happened in May 2017)
CW: 127.5 (that was this morning -- but it's my lowest weight in a year now -- so I'm loving it! -- I have been "maintaining" at 130, but I know I liked it better at 120)
GW: Back to the low 120's, but I wonder -- could I get to to the 115-119 range?
Current mantra: I'm 60 years old and I need to do something that makes me sweat every single day! I'm a power yoga devotee -Baptiste studio -- we do flow yoga in 90-95 degree temp. for 60 - 75 mins. (there are Baptiste studios everywhere) I'm addicted! I do it at least 3 times/week, and try for 4-5 x per week. My husband goes too and loves it -- he has lost almost 30 pounds also (using MFP after he saw my results) and we are on this journey together now. We also just adopted a new pound puppy, so there's that....10 month olds have boundless energy!
8/13 -- 128.3 (Did 10 mile bike ride and ate Blueberry Frozen Yogurt after!)
8/14 -- 127.5

8/8 - 193.6 (my first weigh-in at 5:30 a.m. was 192.8 - then walked the dogs for 40 minutes and went to the bathroom - landed at this. Not sure which one so went with the higher one - thoughts?)

No change in today but I find that fortunate since I made poor snack choices yesterday.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
8/6 133.5 Happy to be back at this number. Working at maintaining since April and leaving on a 2 week cruise the last day of round 50.
8/7 134.0 Going to the movies and then Golden Corral for OMAD
8/8 134.0 Water fitness this morning and being a taxi service for DGD this afternoon.
8/9 134.5 lowest calories in a week yesterday -the “sins” of the few days earlier showing on the scale. I think I have a migraine, possibly from the smoke blowing in from California. 2nd in a week.
8/10 133.5 Well, that was a true migraine! Just as I did back in the days of hormonal migraines, I was craving a giant Hershey bar. Didn’t have any of those around, thank God, so ate 1/2 of a chocolate coconut Endulge. I took a 5 hour nap, got up and got ready for bed and slept through the night.
8/11 134.0 Felt better yesterday and met friends in Pahrump for BBQ lunch and pleasant visit. Went to nearby casino for live music in the evening.
8/12 133.5 Did nothing all day yesterday. Had BPC in AM, ate BBQ leftovers mid morning, butter coffee early afternoon and wasn’t hungry but ate something around 6 because we were going out. Joining friends for champagne brunch this morning.
8/13 133.5 My gut was not happy with me all day yesterday although after 2.5 glasses of champagne and some food it was better for awhile. Tummy grumbling all day and finally ate about 3 oz of hamburger at 9PM. Still not settled and don’t know if grumbling is hunger or anger!
8/14 133.5 Tummy feeling better.10 -

Aw Jaine, I certainly didn't mean my comment in any negative way
I personally feel like I had a ringside seat to disaster, we are west of the zone so even have some pretty clear moments amid the smokes, depending on wind direction. A ringside seat gives you a weird survivor guilt. 6 -
1988 high school graduation 185-190lbs
weight on 1/29/18 = 234.5
Round 49 – goal = do not gain anymore weight
8/7 – 194lbs. still 6 pounds under goal weight but was averaging 190 for a few months. My efforts as of lately have been week.
8/9 – 193lbs doing okay some days and not so good on weekends. I do like to splurge and have the foods I want but need to work a little harder to make room for them!
8/10 – 192lbs – kinda light dinner with to much adult beverage. Skipped working on the garden.
8/14 – 193lbs – I trust my scale and have been eating more proteins lately. Fat went from 22% down to 19 - water went from 53% to 56% and muscle mass is up about 5 pounds from a month ago. I have been working hard in the heat and maybe I can consider this a loss even though weight has stayed close to the same. Under 20% fat was my goal when I started this on January 29 at 234lbs.

A very weird round, work too many days in a row, local wildfire emergencies.
Round 49 GOAL = Maintain weight, get work stabilized, work out a few times.
8/6 - 126.4 - Yesterday Sunday worked 8 hours, no logging or workout. Last week was 60 hours. Let's see what this week brings. Even if I don't post every day I will update and check in.
8/7 - 126.2 - Definitely stabilizing at work, but the sun rose red through smoke this morning. Work a little more normal for me as the fire chews through two counties to the east... logging food today.
8/8 - 127.8 - I logged half the day then lost it in a salty snack food. Hence the extra weight today I am sure. I see my pattern: becoming lax and having a hard time rebuilding my routines when I come back from a stress situation, especially when still in a deficit with sleep, recreation time, and energy.
8/9 - 8/11 - I weighed but didn't record. Somewhere in 128's. Still smoked out, tired, and too busy.
8/12 - 129.2 - finally made up some sleep and got a weekend without work
but no logging and no workouts
8/13 - 128.0 - yesterday at maintenance calories, got a few steps in doing work around the house and garden. Finally feeling some better, but it's still too smoky for outdoor exercise.
8/14 - 125.6 - well that's reassuring after recent numbers! Yesterday logged, got 40 minutes on a crosstrainer, and calories well under maintenance.

Seriously? I don't even understand your response here. Basically you think I am lying about not feeling deprived. Did you read what I wrote? I'm literally eating what I want and still losing weight. Is there a point you're trying to get at? I have lost over 8in. No hun, I don't feel deprived in anyway.1 -

8/06 157.6 So camping was 2 days on plan but 2 days off, I feel dehydrated and bloated but happy to be home. I should see a good drop this round since we have nothing on the books.
8/07 156 Still dehydrated, thirsty and headachey. Will have a better day today. Starting back on the 30 day challenge today after vacation.
8/08 158.6 Ouch. 140g of carbs. Must...do...better!
8/09 156.4 I have learned that if I want to meet my macros for protein, there is not much wiggle room for indulgences. So sad my beautiful fluffy puppy went running after a deer and got completely coated with tiny velcro like stickers and we had to shave him. He is so sad and naked and looks like a new dog. The positive is that now he is cold at night so he snuggles with me instead of laying out by my feet!
8/10 156.8
8/11 156.2 Prelogged yesterday and though I had a little variation I got my protein in (123g), will do the same today and stay the course. I still feel bloated for some reason. The initial *high* of losing some mass has worn off, and I find myself struggling to get back on my exercise routine after the camping last weekend. I keep putting it off one more day. But...my son convinced me to order a fitbit to encourage me to move more, and it arrived yesterday, so I'll get that going and see how it motivates. I'm a data geek so I am sure I'll be obsessing!
8/12 155.4 First day wearing my fitbit and just a normal day no exercise was 6000 steps. Not sure if this is good or bad, but good info for me, a baseline to improve on. I know 10K is considered a minimum so I better step it up! One thing I am not sure of is that it added 252 "exercise" calories to my budget. I ate them it appears, but not sure how this will impact my progress towards my weight loss goal if I do this again.
8/13 155.6 progress=happiness
8/14 156. Hmmm...I will take this and move on. No other choice. I will not let these daily fluctuations bring me down or stray me from the course. Goals for today are to drink lots of water, take dogs for a long walk, eat my protein goal

Day/Weight/Comment
8/06- 227.2 Yikes. Didn’t get to check in the last two days and late weigh in yesterday giving me a round end of 225.6. I thought that was bad enough given I was logging 223s. Today the weekend continues to catch up with me. I know I didn’t gain 1.6lbs overnight but it’s a hard pill to swallow. It’s messing with my head so much I even considered sitting out this round. I’m here though. Hopefully the water retention will work itself or the next two days.
8/07- 227.4 Boo! What is going on here??
8/08- 225.8 Scale finally moved in the correct direction but I’m beginning to make poor food choices. Need to dig myself out of this rut.
8/09- 224.6 Remember: Down is better than up.
8/10- 223.0 Phewwwwwwww
8/11- 222.8 Every little bit counts.
8/12- 223.2 I suspect GI issues.
8/13- 222.6 I was right!
8/14- 222.0 Confident I’ll keep going down til end of round.

8/9 - (No scale today) For the first time in like 4 years I have been out of town for a couple of days. I was doing good the first 2 days weighing and logging everything.. But the 2 last days I didn't log much and I had a burger with fries at a restaurant. I was feeling like a total party pooper when I didn't go out to eat with my boyfriend and just sat there in the hotel room with my food scale lol. I could have chosen a salad, but I wanted the burger.. So I had the burger, and we'll see how big the consequences are tomorrow and deal with them I ate my regular stuff besides the burger, so I feel like I've come a long way. At the same time last year I would have probably just said f* it and ordered a burger for lunch aswell... and a lot of other stuff I usually WANT the healthy alternatives now because they are more tempting, but I still have a way to go when it comes to dinner. I'm fine with whatever for breakfast, lunch, snacks and supper.. But when it comes to dinner, I think a burger with fries looks better than avacados and spinach. There's something special about dinner.. Haha 
8/10 - 182.1 lbs Oh well, could have been worse. This will probably come off quickly, since I gained it fast I do not handle carbs that well, weight is fluctuated for several days afterwards if I eat a lot of carbs one day.. Even if I stick to my calorie goal. Gonna try to eat as "clean" as possible today. A lot of veggies and not so much carbs.
8/11- 181.2 lbs Gonna continue with the low carb and avoid processed foods 😊 Have a great Saturday everyone!
8/12 - 180.3 lbs Omg, now it really is confirmed how much my body hates carbs. I’m 0.2 lbs away from being back to my weight before I ate carbs on vacation. In only 4 days! This is so motivational! Me and my bf are doing some refurbishment today and I’m so excited. Trying to like declutter all the stuff in my life that keeps me up at night Gonna have friends over from mon-sun. OMG that’s a long time, but it will be okay.

8/06 - 112.2
I loved seeing that number this morning I am pretty sure it will go up and down a little bit, over the course of this round. As long as it stabilizes within the next few days, I will be happy. I am moving towards working out every other day, as I do push myself really hard when I do workout. I am also thinking of starting to focus on toning up and strength training as well. Need to do some research to figure out which workout would be best for me. Need to do better with getting enough sound sleep and drinking enough water.

Not being able to do cardio or any kind of workout involving legs
Knees are ok but I feel I run the chance of messing up my left knee, if I even try to do anything remotely heavy on my legs. Only upper body, for now. Not liking it one bit.
8/12 - 110.9
YAY! 😃😃 reached the 110 Mark! Barely, but still! Now, have to work harder towards losing a bit more and maintaining it in the long run. Along with keeping up with workout routines.
8/13 - 110.5
Still can’t workout. Have to make sure to properly watch what I’m eating, along with food sleep and water intake.
8/14 - 110.7
Woke up super tired this morning. Weight reflects what happens after not being able to workout for 3-4 days straight and couple of nights of bad sleep. Need to get enough restful sleep and definitely working out today. Even if it is just upper body.

@vdecosta86 Exactly right!4 -
Thoughts for the day:
The body I have today is a direct result of prior choices.
"One diet fits all" is a fallacy. So is "one workout fits all."
The scale is a tool that helps track weight loss, not fat loss.
There is no finish line; might as well enjoy the journey.9 -

Genuinely curious what my final weight will be.
8/7 163.4 Lowest Weight so far in my journey!!! Trend wt: 163.8 Loss/wk: 0.7 BMI: 24.5
A big surprise for sure. Always seems as though when I’m not expecting it, my wt drops & when I desperately want it to, it maintains or bounces up. (Much cooler today which might account for drop.) We’ll see!
Beginning to actually feel thinner...
8/8 163.6 Trend Weight: 163.7!! Loss/wk: 0.6
BMI: 24.5!! Waist more defined- a miracle!!
Starting to think about new style for hair, eyeglasses, makeup, and what wardrobe I should create when I reach goal...before, this stresses me out- now, I’m looking forward to it!
8/9 164 Trend wt: 163.7 Loss/wk: 0.6 BMI: 24.6
Weight lifting and HIIT on Exercise Bike (both new to me seem to have bumped up my water retention. But I feel strong & lean!!
Decided to do HIIT on Ex Bike more often even though my step average drops- I could get heart rate higher & felt the muscles working!! It’s time!
8/10 163.6 Trend wt: 163.6 Loss/wk: 0.6 BMI: 24.5 My mind keeps telling me to eat only if I get hungry, but I know those signals don’t work well in my brain/body, so I’m continuing with my timing & sizes of meals. (I did try waiting yesterday & never got hungry but I got a light headache which I never get and felt tired, so I decided to eat.) My monkey brain is trying to fool me into eating whatever/whenever tempting me with “just eat when you’re hungry.” Not. This. Time. You. Trickster!
8/11 162.6 Trend Weight: 163.2 Loss/wk: 0.7
BMI= 24.4
Lowest Weight & BMI & Trend Wt in decades.
I’m sure it will bounce around, but I’m pleased as I’ve been cutting back calories & upping difficulty of exercise...such a mental game...all the wt seems to be moving towards my middle above belly button. I. Will. Not. Give. Up. This. Time.
Must return my focus to Health, not be fooled by Vanity.

BMI:24.4
8/13 162 Trend Wt: 162.5 Loss/wk: 0.8
BMI: 24.3 ***unexpected & it has been surprisingly moving to be at this weight.
Yesterday (throughout the day) and at bedtime the two nights before, I was hungry, which I normally am not. It stressed me out. I kept trying things: walnuts, water, veggies, dinner at lunch time, etc. More lean meat and walking seemed to finally to quiet the hunger again. Ended up with my largest daily calorie deficit in a long time, which is hilarious. Learning to listen to my body even more carefully.
Losing & maintaining weight is a continual problem-solving exercise!!!
My new mantra: “Each pound lost at this point makes 20 times the difference it did before!”
I also realized today that I have a pattern I hadn’t recognized before: I don’t lose as much & if not dieting, would usually gain from May thru July or August. A combination of sad anniversaries of loved ones and hot weather. Good to know going forwards...

I'm back...I was away for the last couple of rounds. My kitchen has been under renovation since the first week of July and I have been without a kitchen and in an upheaval since then. I have basically been eating at maintenance as I lived through the renovation. Considering all the stress and the difficulty in making meals, I am happy to say that I am basically at the same weight now as when I started the renovation. Even though the kitchen won't be completed until tomorrow, YAAAAA!!!, and we still have to get the kitchen organized, I am ready to get back at losing. (I thought I had posted yesterday, but I can't find my post.)
Goals:
1. Beat sister-in-law in weekly step competition
2. Do some form of intentional exercise 7 of 10 days (6/7)
3. Get water in
Day/Weight/Comment
08/06--222.8 Went to the in-laws this weekend, so there is definitely an uptick due to increased sodium from eating out. The positive is that my sister-in-law and I, we both have Garmin watches, are now in a weekly step competition with each other, so that will definitely be a motivation to get more steps in this week. I'm going out for a walk at lunch and then Zumba tonight. Making sure to get my water in today.
08/07--221.3 Got to use the fridge in the kitchen yesterday! Who knew these small things in life could be so exciting. Today is the last day of kitchen renovations and tonight I will be able to use the stove for the first time in 33 days. Went to Zumba last night and so far I am ahead of my sister-in-law in the steps competition. I will go out for a walk at lunch again today, but as tonight I will mainly be spending my time going food shopping and organizing the kitchen I'm not sure how many steps I will be getting in today.
08/08--220.6 Sister-in-law is currently about 100 steps ahead of me, so the competition is tight. Was hoping to organize the kitchen last night, but quickly realized what a daunting task that was and quickly lost motivation. I did organize the utensils, so I'll take that as an accomplishment and will do some more work this evening. Tonight is yoga and with the mini heat wave we are having in the PNW, not sure how much extra walking I will be able to get in tonight; however, I will go out for a walk at lunch when the weather isn't so bad.
08/09--220.0 Yoga was great last night. Sister-in-law is currently 5k steps ahead of me, ARGHHH!!! Today is the last day of the heat wave, so I plan to walk at lunch again and depending on how bad the weather is tonight I plan on going for a long walk tonight. Still working on organizing the kitchen, but considering how hot it will be inside the house this evening not sure how much organizing I will be doing.
08/10--220.4 Did not get a chance to walk during lunch, work got busy. Also, didn't walk in the evening as the heat was still bad. Sister-in-law is now 9K steps ahead of me with 3 days to go, she lives about 2 hours away and it is always a few degrees cooler where she lives. Luckily the heat wave has broken and I will be a walking machine over the next 3 days. I will walk at lunch and then take the dog out for a long walk this evening. Last night I unpacked 4 boxes of kitchen stuff, 1 more box to go, and placed most of the stuff on the kitchen counter while I tried to figure out where to put everything and what to throw out. I packed away about 1/2 of the stuff before I lost motivation, so my counters are still covered with kitchen stuff. I will finish the rest tonight and over the weekend. Last night I was so excited to find my kettle while I was packing things away. So, last night I had my first cup of tea in over 6 weeks. Then my husband unexpectedly decided to make us some lemon blueberry scones, he has been wanting to try out the new stove. Tea and homemade scones made a great evening.
08/11--219.3 Kitchen counters are still a mess, but living with the kitchen for the last couple of days has given me a better idea about where to place stuff. We are getting a very large wood cutting board delivered today, so I need to get the counters cleared off so we have somewhere to put it. I didn't get to go on a walk at lunch yesterday, work got busy again, but I went out on a long walk with the dog later in the evening. Even though it wasn't as hot yesterday as it had been over the last couple of days, it was still a little hot for my very furry dog, so I had to cut my walk a little short because I could tell she was struggling a bit. I am now only 6K steps behind my sister-in-law. Planning on a bike ride and long walk today. My sister-in-law texted me yesterday and thanked me for the step competition because it has gotten her to be more active...that made me extremely happy.
08/12--220.9 Went out for dinner last night, I can feel the salt. Did not go out for a bike ride yesterday, but I did go out for a long walk. However, I am still 10K steps behind my sister-in-law and I don't see how I will make it up. Over this past week of the step competition I've noticed that I've eaten better and I've slept better and it's forced me to get off my butt and exercise, so there have definitely been positives so far. Kitchen is 90% organized, so goal for today is to finish the rest of the organizing. I still need to buy some type of organizer for the under the sink cabinet. I bought a closet organizer for the front entry closet, it's a mess, so today my goal is to install and organize the entry closet too. Kettlebell class rounds out the rest of the day.
08/13--220.4 Sore from Kettlebell yesterday. Step competition ends tonight, I thought it ended last night, so my goal is to get more steps in. Finished organizing the kitchen. I started on organizing the hall closet and started to install the closet organizer, but need to finish the rest tonight and/or tomorrow. I will walk at lunch today and then Zumba tonight.
08/14--220.4 No walk and no Zumba yesterday, I had a major sinus headache from all of the smoke in the air from the wildfires. I spent most of the evening just laying on the couch. Of course because I felt bad I wanted to eat a lot of carbs and I did a lot of snacking after dinner, even though I wasn't hungry, so I am happy that the scale stayed the same today. The bad air is supposed to continue today, so I will probably continue to take it easy for the day and be more aware of any cravings I may get later this evening and make sure that if I eat anything it is because I am really hungry.

R1: Lost 1.7 (SW 196.8 EW 195.1)
R2: Lost 0.7 (SW 195.1 EW 194.4)
R3: Gained 3.7 (SW 194.4 EW 198.1)
R4: Lost 2.8 (SW 198.1 EW 195.3)
R5: Lost 1.1 (SW 195.3 EW 194.2)
REALLY want to get to 190 this round. I'm just tired of hovering right above it. I've been doing so for forever. It's ridiculous. I need to realize that even if I get down to 190, I'm still obese. It shouldn't be this hard. It's not like some big accomplishment or feat. You're going from obese to still obese. Just do it.
SW: 194.2
GW: 190.0
Plan to reach this goal:
-Restricting eating out to only two times maximum in the next 10 days.
-Pre-plan the night before and make sure you have all of your ingredients at home and follow through.
-Workout at least 3 times a week (Goal of running at least 4.5 minutes straight at 6.5 mph)
Day/Weight/Comment
8/06- 194.8- My weight is fluctuating currently, I think it will be fine by the end of the week.
8/07- 195.2- Honestly, had heavy meals yesterday. Celebrated my friend's birthday with burgers and a dessert that we shared. Going to take it easy today. I will say that yesterday I didn't eat that much dessert so that's good. Going to eat lightly today so hopefully that helps with the upwards fluctuation.
8/08- 195.2- hmm. not sure what to say lol. was over my calories a little so that's the culprit, i know.
8/09- No weigh-in
8/10- Forgot to weigh-in in the morning. Mid-day got 196.8. UMMMM. lol freaked me out.
8/11-194.2- Much better lol. I'm happy this is going back down. I think the fluctuations may have been hormonal which is fine. Here's to making the most out of the last 5 days. I ate PRETTY healthy, like snacking on cherries and grapes right now and had a fruit smoothie with honey for breakfast although I did have top ramen noodles at lunch (not healthy at all lol) but still under my calories so hopefully tomorrows weigh-in will reflect that. FINGERS CROSSED.
8/12- 193.1- lol yay. being under your calories works! haha. I'm over today though. Will be under tomorrow. Hopefully this doesn't make me go up again lol
8/13- 194.4- ugh. tbh i knew this was going to happen. ate way too much yesterday. staying under calories today so hopefully that works out.
8/14-193.4- yay. I did better yesterday so I guess that's where this is from, however, I was still over my calorie goal so hopefully I can stay under today. Will definitely be eating less probably. I do have a final tomorrow, however, so I may have to get a coffee to stay awake and study! Hopefully it won't do too much damage.

Round 47 - SW 158 EW 152.5 (-5.5 lbs)
Round 48 - SW 152.5 EW 150 (-2.5 lbs)
5 '-1"
Round 49 goals: I'm going to stick with 10,000 steps per day and also focus on a small goal related to water consumption. Add 1 glass before I leave the house in the morning and 1 glass before I go to bed.
8/06 - 151. I was inactive and unfocused in my eating yesterday. There was lots of snacking. The first snack was delicious and satisfying. After that, it was just silly. On the bright side, I slept well last night and feel refreshed and on a good path today.
8/07 - 150. 11,000 steps. Elliptical and weights. Ate at the low end of my calorie range yesterday and couldn't seem to get enough to eat this morning. Something to think about in the future.
8/08 - 151. 11,000 steps. Elliptical and kettlebell squats and swings. I watched a bunch of videos to remind me of proper form for the swing. I'm not sure I got it just right, but swinging that weight around was pretty fun. My unstated goal of seeing the last of the 150s this round is looking more challenging than I would have thought, but nothing to do but keep at it!
8/09 - 151. 11,000 steps. Elliptical and weight lifting. Ate three real meals yesterday instead of snacking my way through at least one of them and met my protein goal for the first time in a while. I felt good about that and was expecting to see the scale move down a little this morning. Maybe tomorrow?
8/10 - 150. 21,000 steps. Looking forward to a 20+ mile bike ride to a winery for a concert tonight. Hoping, hoping, hoping to see something lower than 150 on the scale this weekend.
8/11 - 150. Again. Got in that bike ride yesterday. I had carrots and hummus as a snack at the concert and was very surprised to find myself enjoying eating the carrots more than the pita chips. That’s definitely never happened before.
8/12 - 149. Yay!!! I'm finally lighter than I was at the end of the last round. I was very happy to see that this morning!
8/13 - 148. More yay! I didn't expect to see the scale move again this morning. I exercised less this weekend than earlier in the challenge, ate about the same, and saw better scale results.
8/14 - 147. I'm really pleased, and surprised. I can't actually be losing a pound a day, so I'm expecting some slow going after this. MFP counted a 30 day streak for me this morning.

Thank you, @mmebouchon !
