Round 4 start (5/13): 179.0 CODE RED

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.
06/07 123.9

Must try harder than the last round. Albeit I lost a lb I would ideally love to lose more than that in the next ten days. I'm going again so that I can try and stay focussed.

Starting weight 137.2

Day Weight Comments

06/02 136.8 lbs off to a good start. Had lots of water, walked my 10,000 steps and went to yoga last night. Was good with my eating also. It must be paying off. Must repeat
06/03 136 lbs heading in the right direction. Hope the brownie I had doesn't register.
06/04 137 lbs whoops although I did weigh myself in my pjs, could they be the extra lb - clutching at straws but here's hoping.
06/05 137.2 lbs weekends are my undoing. Hopefully been much better today.
06/06 134.2 lbs how did that happen, much rubbing of the eyes when stood on the scales this morning because couldn't believe it. 10000 steps and lots of water yesterday may have been why.
06/07 135.2 slight increase on yesterday but still a loss for the week. Still maintaining the 10000 steps a day and trying to drink as much as possible. Hopefully I'll keep it off.
06/08 135.8 wasn't as good as I could have been yesterday and I think the scales have shown that. Today is going to be a struggle, was up at 5am with one of the bubs so very tired today - this often results in reaching for the biscuit tin so I've got to try and stay away from that today. Have got my yoga session tonight so hopefully that will help put the scales in the right direction again.
