I lost a pound! And I am happy for that 1 pound. I met yesterday's goals and today's goals will be the bare minimum. I have training in Cleveland so that means I will be sitting all day. I hope I can get in my 10, 700 steps, stay under my calorie goals, and drink plenty of water. This weekend is also going to be hard to get anything extra in. Have to work the concession stand during the football game, take my daughter for a college visit on Saturday, and return my niece to Pittsburgh on Sunday.

I'm down almost 3 lbs... I'll take it! I've learned that the scale is only part of the challenge. Let's go day 20!!!

For some reason I was a little bummed about my 3 lb. weight loss (a total not just from this past week). And then I saw this spreadsheet.
To see darn near everyone post lower numbers was one of the most inspiring weight loss movements I've ever been a part of.
The fact that we're all in this together, and that we have visual proof of this pact is a beautiful thing and has really lifted my spirits.
Go team!0 -
Astonished I lost 4 pounds this week. I definitely thank this group for keeping me focused. My goal for the next ten is just to keep where I am. I still wonder if my scale is just a little off or something. Good luck, everyone!0

Right now LA is hot like an oven. But our 100 Day Challenge is even more hot - over 248 lbs and counting melted away from the group in last 10 days.
The 'Short Term Goal Achieved to date' is an important indicator. If after today's weighin you feel that you did your very best in last 10 days and yet you did not hit that 10% mark then you may look at your Short Term Goal closely.
On the flip side, if you have shown some amazing %age above 10% then couple of things here:
1) you did a fantastic job and keep doing it safely and with your health in mind;
2) the rest of 90 days are filled with at least half a dozen celebrations
Keep ????0 -
So happy I lost a little! I'm not expecting miracles but am going to try to be consistent and not get discouraged. I went for a 3+ mile walk this afternoon and am going to Zumba tonight. I really appreciate this challenge being available to help us stay motivated!0

As far as the first 10 days went, I met my goals every week day, but ate/drank too much this weekend. My weight was up 1.4 lbs but I had drank some coffee earlier and I've not been working out due to illness, so I'm not too concerned. I'm sure the overall trend will continue to go down, as I'm generally at a deficit.
Today I met all of my goals except low impact exercise. Still pretty sore and it is a normal rest day anyhow.0 -

I was shocked to find myself down 11lbs this morning. I've really been struggling the last couple of days. I'm still getting my two 15 minute walks in everyday and i am staying under my calorie goals but they haven't been the best food choices. Oh well, I'll go with it and try to keep the momentum rather than analyzing and figuring out what i did "wrong".0

OMG I LOVE this spreadsheet!
I haven't really had my head in a good space about my goals, making them more aggressive than realistic and more about what I wanted to happen than what makes sense to happen (or what will likely happen).
I find setting unrealistic goals and then "failing" to be de-motivating, so the spreadsheet helped me figure out a better goal for myself! I updated the sheet. Still not at 10% for the 10 days but that's ok as I had a bit of a rough 10 days 0 -
Yesterday (October 2) was not a great day.
I met my goals in terms of doing at least 20 minutes of exercise and staying under my calorie goals, but my food choices left a lot to be desired. I think 1/3 of my calories were chocolate or cola! That's not a usual thing for me, so I need to kick my butt into gear.
I also weighed in, and I'm down about 2 pounds since the start of the challenge, although I only joined a few days ago. I just went back through my weigh-in history and plugged in the number from there.
I am quite happy with 2 pounds. I'm still on crutches, so I can't expect to burn as many calories as I usually would, and I also can't go for super long walks, because it taxes my leg, and I don't want to set my recovery back.0 -
My first 10 was not great. I gained and am desperately not wanting to update the spreadsheet because I feel embarrassed. I've been tracking all of my foods, so I need to figure out my "Why?". I haven't been exercising much, so perhaps I just need to get up and get going. I'm not giving up because I know this is definitely what needs to happen.0

MFP in general and this group in particular is non-judgmental. Don't be embarrassed about any weight gain as we all have similar experiences but be 'aware' and then act upon it. Skipping the spreadsheet entry will not be very helpful in achieving our goals.0

I've been on holiday for the past ten days and didn't log a single thing, but miraculously I stayed exactly the same. I just want to get back into it for the next 10 days.
Goals for today:
1. Log everything
2. Go for a run0 -
