    Starting weight (5/22): 204
    05/23: 204. I’m not expecting to lose weight quickly at this point, so I’m just trying to stay below maintenance every day and see what happens. I accomplished that today.
    05/24: 204. I ate more calories than planned, but I attempted to make up for it by doing extra exercise. Not a bad day overall.
    05/25: 203.5
    05/26: 203.5. Ate below maintenance calories and had a good weight lifting session. I also worked outside for a few hours, so that should result in a large calorie deficit for today.
    05/27: 204.
    05/28: 204
    05/29: 203.5. I ate at my estimated maintenance calories today, but I had two hours of walking and other exercise so it was still a positive day.
    05/30: 203.5

    I'm in for this challenge. I'm trying to lose slower or maintain so here's to hoping I'm down a lb or stay where I'm at.

    Day Weight Comments

    05/23 138 - 3.2 miles walked, sworkit full body strength 30 min

    05/24 137.6 - 4.19 miles walked, swork it full body strength 30 min

    05/25 137.2 - 3.17 miles walked, Slim in 6 Burn it UP 48 min, felt great after getting my burn it up work out in! I was ready to conquer the world :)Increased my intake and had almost 1600 calories. 1500 to 1600 is what I'm aiming for.

    05/26 136.2 - Woo Hoo. Wasn't expecting that. I expect wt to go up some after this weekend :)I will be indulging a bit.

    05/27 136.4 rest day. It was really and I mean really hard to rest on Saturday. The weather was gorgeous and I was just ready to walk and get some serious steps in and work out. Alas, my sister was with me and prevented either from happening which was good because well rest days are beneficial and needed for sure :smile:

    05/28 no scale today. NSV I was able to comfortably wear my new clothes after eating way more than usual. Movie theater popcorn, indulgent chocolate cake, Denny's, outback steakhouse, grilled elote, tortillas, good home cooked Mexican food, Italian ice and who knows what else. I will not do that often bc I had a serious sugar coma and did not like how I felt.

    5/29 137.6 I was pleasantly surprised by this bc usually after a weekend like I had I'm up a few more lbs. I have been guzzling water tho to counter act the water retention from sodium. Guess it's helping! I'll continue to guzzle water. Going in for a progress visit tomorrow can't wait for my measurements. My last progress visit was in January.

    5/30 137.4. Yesterdays work out included a 3.3 mile walk, 1.66 mile walk, and I did my Slim in 6 Burn it Up video. Yesterday I added 10 lb free weights and used those for arm work. ***NSV - My waist (belly button) is down 6.5" from 1/18/17 when it was 38" Woo Hoo!!! I lost a total of 13" from my waist since 6/2/16 (44.5").

    Goal at the end of ten days is to be below 130.

    05/23 - 133.6
    05/24 - 132.4 - did a HIIT workout yesterday morning and then ate well and within my calorie goal. Feeling good today. Goal is to go for a 5km run tonight.
    05/25 - 132.0 - Ate pretty well, just 20 calories over my limit. My fiance wanted to go for a walk so we walked 5km instead of me going for a run.
    05/26 133.6 - went for the run! But was feeling pretty good about my progress so naturally I self-sabotaged with some chocolate-covered raisins and almonds and went right back up to 133.6 this morning. Gah the water weight. I WILL BE GOOD THIS WEEKEND...I WILL BE GOOD THIS WEEKEND...I WILL BE GOOD THIS WEEKEND...
    05/27 - 132.8 - didn't eat too badly for a Saturday. Went for a long hike and a run so was just within my calorie goal. Yay!
    05/28 - 132.6 - I figured I wouldn't go down much. Must be retaining a bit of water from some extra desserts I've been having.
    05/29 - 132.8 - not too bad for a Monday morning. Usually I am a few pounds more after a weekend but I was pretty good this weekend.
    05/30 - 132.2 - meh

    This is just what I need

    5/23 138.2 lbs
    05/24 138 lbs
    05/25 138.6 lbs not sure what has happened here thought I was good yesterday, also did 10000 steps and half hour yoga. Hopefully the scales will shift the right way tomorrow. Better start logging my food to make sure I'm being as good as I think.
    05/26 138.6 lbs was doing so well until the babies had a rough night due to the heat. Had three chocolate Brazil nuts. When I saw the calories I wished I hadn't. Will know for next time. Seen someone had a good loss due to drinking lots of water. Off now to have a huge glass of water to see if that helps. Something's got to
    05/27 137.2 lbs whoop whoop and I'd been naughty yesterday but had drunk lots of water and spent an hour gardening.
    05/28 137.4 maybe the naughtiness is catching up.
    05/29 137.2 lbs don't think I'll be as lucky tomorrow, bank holidays are very difficult to remain good with the diet.
    05/30 136.4 lbs very surprised but feeling quite motivated by this.

    I'm in!
    My perfect weight is 58kg, though I can't bring myself to loose those extra 2kg I have, because whenever I loose 1kg I get comfortable and start to eat and then I gain like 1.5kg. I want to keep a track of what I eat/do that make me loose weight and embrace it so I won't have to worry about future fluctuations.
    I think it's better to take this task 10days at a time :smile:
    My starting weight is 60.1kg :blush:
    Let's start the countdown (hopefully)
    05/29 60.1kg
    05/30 60.2kg i've been good today, so hopefully it will be better tomorrow #fingerscrossed

    I'll give this a try. :) Thanks for setting this up. I always weigh everyday & I find it a huge help. Mostly because I also track every day. Being able to look back & see "oh...at this point in my cycle I tend to lose while I always bloat up a couple of pounds at this point" has saved me so much stress, confusing, and heartache. Its nice to see a group who isn't afraid of seeing the natural ups & downs that come with the process.

    Starting notes, just finished my first 48hr fast earlier this week (I'm keto). It was easier than expected & helped get things moving again. It went so well I have decided its something I want to repeat at least once a month. I expected a little bit of a gain once I started eating again & got about half a pound back before it went back down again which was also better than expected.
    Notes about me, I'm 41, almost completely sedentary (something I'm trying to change, was unwell for a couple of years, feeling better & starting to move around more. Some days I'm more active than others.) I also have significantly annoying hormone issues that like to get in the way, but I seem to have finally found a way around it all)
    I aim for about 5lbs per month, anything more than that is a nice surprise
    Starting weight this week, 277, goal by the end of these 10days, 275ish.
    5/23 - 277.7
    5/24- 276.2
    5/25- 276.7
    5/26-276.6
    5/27-277.1
    5/28-278.0 I think there was hormone cycle weight gain going on this week. I was irritated with it though & decided to try to break it lose with a very low calorie day after this weigh in. Can't quite call it a fast but it wasn't a normal food day either.
    5/29-275.1 And it worked, I got the number I've been waiting for! That said, I expect to gain some water back over the next week or so until shark week when it will come back off again. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

    For reasons maybe someone more knowledgable about MFP's forum system can explain? but i can't, I can't seem to edit my previous post again. Forgive the repeat but I'm lost.

    @SunshineHardcore - after posting you only have 1 hour to edit a post - to change or add something for example. You can do that by going back to the post and clicking on the settings wheel symbol on the top right hand side of it.

    If you're wanting to add to a previous post the next day (like adding a weight for today to yesterday's post for example) there are a couple of ways of doing that:

    Either find your last post in the thread, click quote (on the bottom left hand side of the post) and it will quote all of your selected post into a new post. All you need to do then is add the new info. To tidy it up you need to delete the quote information which appears in the square brackets at the beginning and end of the new post - otherwise it gets formatted as a greyed out quote like yours above in this post of mine.

    The other way to do it would be to find your last post, click on it to copy the text you want and then paste and add to it in a new post.

    Hope that helps?

    It does. I thought I was supposed to edit. You're awesome, thank you!

    TMI for non-ladies, but I have very annoying and timely water weight/bloat right now. Gonna do some strength exercises, because I feel like my cardio & diet only are not helping out too much right now.
    I suppose I also have to break off my relationship with wine. :/

    05/23 - 141.8 (a bit too close for comfort!)
    05/24 -140.8 (5k run yesterday)
    05/25 - 140.0 (weight training day yesterday. Nice surprising drop again this morning - although I suspect this is mostly water weight. I decided to concentrate on getting enough protein this week - something I'm not very good at usually. I've done really well so far, but, in order to keep within my calorie total, it's been at the expense of carbs - I read somewhere that 1g of carbs binds to 2g of water, so that'll be why the sudden drop in weight! (It does make you wonder what our 'bodyweight' actually ever is really?!) I've already had enough of tuna, chicken and eggs though - they're making me feel so full! And so thirsty! Not sure I'd be able to keep this up long term.
    05/26 -139.2 (YAY! - finally broke through the 140 barrier! Really pleased with this. Determined to keep it up this weekend. Have a good one everyone)
    05/27 -138.6 (weight lifting yesterday, going for a 10k run this morning, but have friends over for tea this evening so hoping to keep within my calories for today. I WILL BE GOOD THIS WEEKEND!)
    05/28 - 139.0 (not bad at all - did my best 10k ever yesterday and didn't go mad on the wine! Weight lifting and core conditioning this morning)
    05/29 - 140.0 (my weight normally fluctuates up after a weekend - I blame the high sodium Sunday lunch - but this isn't as high as usual so I'm really pleased. Back on it today!)
    05/30 - 140.0 (rest day yesterday. Gym or run today)
    05/31 - 139.0 (weightlifting at the gym yesterday, so going to fit in a 5k run this evening - hoping to finish this 10 day challenge below 140lbs - just hope I haven't jinxed it now! :smile: )

    * Because I'm not using electronic scales its hard to be exact with small movements, so I'm only using increments of 1/4 kg
