Goal this week is to get under 140.
05/23 140.6 Nice to lose after my not so good weekend
05/24 142.8 This is because I had pizza for lunch and dinner, plus a few drinks.
05/25 141.2
05/26 140.8 Stayed under my calorie & carb goal yesterday
05/27 139.0 OMG I did it! I haven't been in the 130's since March. I sabotaged myself back then and have been trying to recover ever since. Heading on a weekend vacation, so hope I can stay focused and NOT drink this progress away.
05/28 No scale, out of town
05/29 No scale, out of town
05/30 143.0 Overindulged all weekend

This challenge shows the reality of a weight loss journey. Nobody loses weight without set backs and I hope lots of people find this challenge encouraging. When I first signed into MFP I was so discouraged by my Yo-yo dieting I wanted to give up. The reality is I am not going to stop eating chocolate, bread, pizza, ice cream and the foods I love. That is not what makes me fat. What makes me fat is a lack of self -control. There I admitted it.
Should I celebrate being down 21# since May 20, 2016(266.6), or cry because I am up 20# since January 17,2017 (226.0) or celebrate the the 1.6# loss this week?. I think I will celebrate the 2# loss and put the past in the past and move on. I am determined to use this forum to keep me accountable. Seeing it posted online should help. My goal is to stablize my eating habits so I stop the Yo-Yoing. I will celebrate the victories, and hope to just keep that scale going down if its 2# a month or 1.6# a week.
I'm going to get back on track.

05/24 245.8 Just started back after gaining and losing for many years. I really think this is goind to help me. I haven’t used the community boards much. Is there a way to edit past posts instead of a new post everyday?
05/25 No weight. On a short vacation so I didn’t get to post yesterday or weigh in this morning. No scale. I only weigh first thing in the morning because my weight seems to go up and down during the day.
05/26 245.4 My WOE is -1800 calories eating what I want. I will be lowering calorie count as I lose pounds. I want to do 1800 for at least three weeks. I have been told it takes three weeks to change a habit. I have tried most of the current diets and need to find what works for me. Thanks for listening.
05/27 245.0
05/28 28 Away from home- no scale. Stayed on calorie goal Saturday & Sunday. Will weigh in tomorrow.
05/29 245.4 I stayed on goal but ate a lot of salt. Not discouraged. I know staying on calorie goal is what is important. Practicing self-control. Thanks for challenging me.
05/30 247.6 Don’t know why. Stayed on / actually way under calorie allotment. Maybe salt. Ate pretzels and Spam yesterday. Going to watch that salt today. See ya tomorrow.

I'll give this a go. A little public accountability is not a bad thing at all. As it happens I do weigh myself every day (almost) and take measurements on Mondays. My scale is a digital one that logs to the half pound.
When I came back to MFP 7 weeks ago I weighed 300 lbs. I've weighed myself almost every day, taken measurements every Monday, and recorded my food & exercise every day. I'm also keeping track of days since I last had alcohol, since I know only too well that drinking (besides being empty calories) always leads to eating that has nothing to do with being hungry.
Day Weight Comments
05/22 288.5 lbs. Weight has been "flat" for a couple of weeks and I need to jump-start moving the scale in the right direction again.
05/23 288.5 lbs No change. I put a beady eye on the excess carbs
05/24 288 lbs Nice to see a weight loss. Also met my current daily walking goal and controlled my carbs
05/25 287.5 ibs More weight loss. Also met my current daily walking goal (just hit it) and controlled my carbs, though I was concerned when we had pot roast for dinner as I ate potatoes. I avoided the temptation of the garlic bread with dinner, and the salt and vinegar potato chips my sons left out on the kitchen counter.
05/26 287.5 lbs No weight loss. Blew my calorie count. Blew my carbs. Short on my walking.
05/27 287 lbs A small loss again. Calories were blown but not carbs. I more than made up for the extra calories with extra exercise. I got to 10,000 steps a few minutes before midnight. I've started keeping track of steps in the exercise freeform window. One more "do it every day for accountability" item. I am off to the Simi Valley Cajun and Blues festival today. I shall be diligent watching what I eat, walk around a lot, and also avoid the beer tent.
05/28 287 lbs No change. It's a holiday weekend here in the states...hopefully I can do no worse than maintain the status quo.
05/29 288 lbs. Weight up...not a surprise at all given the howler of a day I had yesterday. Overeating, including some unnecessary carbs, a lack of exercise, and a boatload of wine out by the pool. On a positive note, my measurements are going back in the right direction ---> down.
05/30 288 lbs No change. But all things considered, I got out of the 3 day holiday weekend lightly. On a positive note I hit 11,000+ steps walking.

05/23 150.6
05/24 150.6 I resisted the break room donuts by picturing cockroaches crawling all over them. One of them may have been filled with Boston Cream filling.
05/25 149.8 See what happens when you picture cockroaches crawling on food!?!?!?!
05/26 147.6. This seems too good to be true. I was even afraid to log it. The scale actually said 147.2. I usually get down to 148.6 and sabotage myself, so this really blows me away. I haven't been below 148 in years. Yesterday I drank a lot of water and walked a lot. I stayed within my calorie goal. My back is still tender, so I'm resting it. Yesterday was also my son's 12th birthday. I only had the slightest bite of cake.
05/27 148.6. I had some salty food last night. Today I'm going on a 5 mile hike. My family is gone on a fishing trip so I can spend the weekend eating the right foods without worrying about anybody else.
05/28 148.6 I did the hike, cleaned, and drank lots of water. I was waaaaaay under my calorie goal, but no change today. I bet I'll see another change in the scale soon. Today will be another great day. I'm going to the gym after church and will spend time in the kitchen preparing healthy foods for next week. My grape vine is doing really well, so I'll make dolma. I've also been cleaning and organizing. I've heard there's research behind clean, organized homes and fit people. : )
05/29 150 I ate and drank too much last night and got sick. My body doesn't like rich foods anymore, and I wasn't mindful of what was going into my mouth. My host was a professional chef from Sardinia, and I felt that I needed to try everything otherwise I was missing out. I ended up spending the whole next day on the couch and in the bathroom. : (
05/30 148.8 Back to my plateau weight. I hope I can break through this. QUICK! START ANOTHER 10 DAYS!!!

Day Weight Comments
05/23. 251.6 got back from my sister's graduation weekend celebration and weight is about 3 lbs up. Im excited to get back to a routine of exercise and calorie deficits! Have 61.6 lbs to lose to my first re-evaluation of health metrics and im hoping to be there by my birthday next March. On June 1st, I'd like to be at 247.6. may be too ambitious but im hoping to lose some water weight...we'll see!
05/24 249.2 Yay, weight is coming back off from sister's graduation. Going to be super active today and maintain a strong calorie deficit.
05/25 249.0 Have not had a good workout session since I got back from the family festivities. Will get in a good session today. Despite that, I'm happy for the downward trend.
05/26 251.4 Arrghh I have a dietbet ending in like 10 days and this! Even though I ate what I think is less than my calorie goal for yesterday. It's time to not have anymore starches, and time to drink a gallon of water/day. So when I chek in tomorrow morning, that's my goal. I'll have drunk a gallon of water and not indulged in starches.
05/27 sister visiting didn't weigh in
05/28 sister visiting didn't weigh in
05/29 ate/drank before I remembered so I didn't weigh in
05/30 248 I was nervous about this one. Not because I haven't been mindful of my eating and been active but because my body has been unpredictable lately. Glad to make downward progress.

05/23 178.6
05/24 176.8-- Maybe I finally lost the water weight after eating movie theater popcorn!! Nice surprise this AM.
05/25 180.6-- My car broke down and we ordered out-- Chinese food. I stayed within calorie limits so I'm sure that this is just water weight... I hope!! My menstrual cycle just started so that probably has something to do with it.
05/26 178.6 ughhh to period cravings. I played with my brothers (3 & 7) for an hour and fifteen minutes and it tired me out!! Instead of eating half a pizza, I ate a coconut popsicle to ease my cravings. I hope that this will pass and I will have a nice surprise on the first!
05/27 178.8 Come on man
Feeling discouraged today. I have been eating so well compared to a month ago. I ate pizza for breakfast(eek).
05/28 178.9 just biked to work. Drank a bit much last night...

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.

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
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.3 -
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
My starting weight is 60.1kg
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.
5/30 - 274.1!!!! Felt like I ate a ton yesterday, was really expecting to see an up number this morning. Being down another pound feels like Christmas! I did stay super low in my carbs yesterday though & that always helps. My goal for this month was only to see 275 so seeing 274 is just so freaking awesome Woot! /happy dance! I guess these means my goal for next month is 269 instead of 270

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!0 -

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! )
