I'm back from vacation, got home last night....ready to jump back in. I did a couple of "give me 10" rounds before we left and it was a great way to keep track of my daily fluctuations and watch my progress

05/26 - 161.6lbs This is my weight from the morning we left

06/02-vacation
06/03-vacation
06/04-vacation

06/05- 166.8lbs -I'm feeling very puffy in the fingers and feet this morning so I expect a couple of lbs of water retention from all the salt and air travel. Going to get back to my regular eating routine right away and get back on track

06/06- 164.0lbs - I feel like I peed every half hour yesterday....got rid of a lot of water bloat LOL. Now to get rid of the buffet, deserts I had every night and days by the pool bar.

06/07 - 162.6lbs - lots of trips to the bathroom again yesterday so I guess I'm still shedding water weight...I'm cool with that. Going to pick up my kettlebells for the first time in a couple of weeks today so I may be sore tomorrow.

Day Weight Comments

06/02 136.4 rest day. Went on a school field trip to the aquarium and then the beach. Packed myself a salad for lunch. Staying with my parents for the weekend and my mom cooked my faves. Starchy foods. I'll be happy to maintain this 10 days

6/3 136.8 rest day. I did go to the beach again and did some walking. First meal was at a buffet. Pistachios for snack. And favorite home cooked foods for dinner. I am noticing the munchies TOM will start soon.

6/4 138.8. yikes two lbs. But this is normal considering how I ate yesterday. Must drink water to combat retention. Zaxbys for lunch. My son wanted the birthday cake shake with a whopping 900 cals in it. Thought about it and decided okay bc I knew at most he would drink a third of it. Told my mom I almost did not get it bc it had so many calories. She was like oh you don't need to worry ab that you need to eat. Smh I was like I was thinking about Jack do u think he needs to drink 900 calories. Not worried ab myself bc I'm good after a couple tastes. More than half the shake is left. My son and I got two walks in today. Almost 3 miles.

6/5 *138.2* Yay going down. I chugged water yesterday. Got my walks in and did a 30 min strength Sworkit last night.

6/6 *137.2* Got 2 mile walk in yesterday, over 10,000 steps, and did a 30 min strength Sworkit last night. I had around 1400 calories yesterday. Drank plenty of H20. Looking forward to walking and working out today. Hopefully I can get my 3 walks in today but work is looking pretty busy so hopefully I can squeeze in to but that means I need to buckle down and work lol.

6/7 *136.0* Woo Hoo. Happy dance. Maybe I will dip down under 136 soon!! Walked 3.04 miles yesterday. Went to the pool. 30 min Sworkit Strength exercises. I pushed through the Sworkit even though I wanted to quit so many times lol. Gotta keep the end game in mind! Results thus far keep pushing me forward when I want to stop. I had about 1300 cals yesterday. 14,019 steps. Cycle started today.

Chris

149.8 today. Lack of progress is discouraging but I will keep with it!!

Woohoo I'm ready for my second round! The last one was honestly so insightful. I started and ended at the same weight but also began lifting more seriously in that time frame. I've read that it can take up to a few weeks for the initial water retention that your body uses to repair microtears in the muscle to subside. So once again I'll be paying attention to the mirror and my measurements as well as the number on the scale.

Starting Weight: 180.5 (5/1)
Current Weight: 173.5 (6/1)
Goal Weight: 140 (???)

06/02 – 173.5 – Had a good day at the gym yesterday! Today I'm making black bean brownies.
06/03 – 173.5 – Did I perhaps go overboard on the brownies? I plead no contest.
06/04 – 176.0 – Wheeew. The last thing I'd like to do is overanalyze but I have two ideas about this. I've been at the gym consistently but yesterday was one of the first days where I ended up eating back my calories, and they were mostly from carbs (healthier ones though, hellooooo Chipotle bowl!) which I've been trying to avoid. My second thought is that I had to wake up a LOT earlier than normal this morning so maybe that had something to do with it? Still I'm not worried though, I'm just trying to be mindful of my actions and my body's reactions!
06/05 – 174.5 – Yesterday was leg day and the DOMS is so real. Today's a rest day so we'll see if that has any affect tomorrow.
06/06 – 172.5 – Weighed myself a couple times to make sure it was true! I was very grumpy and hungry yesterday which is normally a recipe for some seriously discouraging overeating, but I stayed under my goal!!! I think giving my body a break from exercise was a good thing too. All I want to do is be under 170 for the first time in forever.
06/07 – 172.5 – Nice! I hit my macros almost perfectly yesterday too. (Shout out to the philly cheesesteak stuffed peppers I made for dinner and also to pistachio Halo Top because that ish is amazing!)

Starting weight: 148
today's weight: (June 1) 134.8
Goal: 132
Ultimate Goal: 130

06/02 - 135 stayed on task for logging, very happy about that. Probably ate a little too much at dinner, but not that concerned. Glad to be kept honest!
06/03 - 134.4 surprised me! Did some emotional eating before dinner. But I guess the long walk with my dogs and the 1 hour and 15 minute gym workout helped. But this is good, it allows me to recognize my weaknesses. And I am on task w/logging!
06/04 - 134.4 I am thrilled, since I spent most of the day at a brewery (Sierra Nevada) doing a tour and then of course eating and drinking. Logged it all Got my 5 mile run in already today. woohoo!!!
06/05 - 134.4 stuck, for now! But it's not up and that's good so I will continue to move forward.
06/06 - 134.5 So I have no problem working out. And I have started logging consistently w/this challenge (thank you). So, it has thee calorie intake, too many snacks. Next hump to tackle in order to make the scale move in the right direction!
06/07 - 134.4 Hmmmm. I was very cognizant about how much I ate and trying to be very calorie conscious. If I can drop 1 pound by the end of this 10 day challenge, I would be good with that

Round 4 start (5/13): 179.0 CODE RED
Round 5 start (5/22): 173.4
Goal weight 163, by July 4 and 157 by August 31.

Round 6:
06/02: 172.2 - Feeling ok. Anticipating going over calories today.
06/03: 172.4 - I did go over calories. Counted it all as scary as that was! NSV! We'll see what tomorrow brings.
6/04: 172.8 - Went over a bit, not too much
6/05: 173.4 - Stayed the course
6/06: 174 - This is disappointing. Today, I am drinking tons of water and hoping for some sort of reward. I suppose this is a good exercise in fluctuation, but I need a win!
6/07: 172.4 Better. So motivated to get down to the 160s and to 163- (160s are CODE YELLOW )

This is my 2nd block of 10 days. 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 8 1/2 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.

I didn't do as well as I had hoped to in the first 10 day challenge. I will try to do better this time.

Day Weight Comments
06/01 287.5 lbs at the weigh-in for this 10 day challenge.
06/02 287.5 lbs No change. Because of that I will today (1) watch the carbs and (2) watch the intake of sodium.
06/03 286.5 Down 1 lb. Yay! Careful food choices and over 7 miles walking yesterday got me jump-started.
06/04 286.5 lbs No change. We went to the OC for an all-day celebration of a nephew's HS graduation. 2 hours each way. I avoided all things sugary, starchy, high-carb, and turned down every offer of beer and wine. So getting to today undamaged is OK. I got walking in, but didn't make my 10k steps.
06/05 286.5 lbs. No change. The scale flickered at 286 but went to the half pound. Resetting it and trying again, and moving it to somewhere else on the bathroom floor -- hands up those who have NOT tried that one -- did not give me the lower weight so no change it is. Back to carb watching today.
06/06 286 lbs. Down another 1/2 lb. Good deal! I'm sure being part of the 10K steps a day and "No late night snacking" challenges is helping me here.

06/07 286 lbs. No change. A bad and very long day (work) that left me really fried. Way short of the mark on my 10K steps challenge. I could have given in to the fridge and the scotch but did neither though I was sorely tempted.

I'm in. This is my first round.

Initial weight: 125.7 lbs.

A Normal Goal weight that isn't too thin or thick: 115 lbs.
-Plus, if I weigh myself DAILY, I can maintain it. I agree with the OP. I am one of those people that need to weigh myself everyday and watch it. If I don't, my weight creeps up. I know this from a lifetime of experience.

I'm only 5'0"
-But, I don't have a tiny, little bone structure, so 115 is a good weight for me and a good goal. 125 is starting to become too heavy for my frame and height. I don't want it to get worse and I don't want to develop health problems.

06/02 125.7 Of course, my very first day I decide to diet, I totally blew it and ate the amount a man five times my size would require while maybe doing something strenuous like lifting cars all day or something. Self-sabotaging myself is something that I am pretty good at.
06/03 125.7 I had to eat under the calories to make up for 6/2.
06/04 125.7 I was still trying to make up for 6/2.
06/05 125.7 I was still under calories due to 6/2. I am one of those people that suck in every calorie and hold it forever and ever. Yeah me!
06/06 125.5 woot woot Finally can see the scale budge. whew.
