06/12=199.0
06/13=196.4!
06/14=195.0!
06/15=195.6 Wasn't as careful with what I ate yesterday. Working outside in the heat, a lot of snacking.
06/16=196.2 Had the last two days off. Need to commit more to cooking than fast food.
06/17=197.4 Late Chinese buffet dinner.
06/18=195.6
06/19=198.0 And this is why I never succeed. Forgot to eat all day yesterday so by 7pm I was starving and binged on treats. Added it up after and I think my dinner was around 3300 calories. Not good.

@schlerin Incorrect. You are succeeding. You're a pound down from seven days ago and are on track to meet your goal for this ten days. Keep at it!

This is my 3rd block of 10 days. A little public accountability is not a bad thing at all. That, plus seeing how others are doing, is motivating for me. 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 did better in the second 10 days. Derailing a bit here in the third. The Father's Day weekend-long party didn;t help.

Day Weight Comments
06/12 286 lbs at the weigh-in for this 10 day challenge. Up 1 lb from the end of the last challenge.

06/13 ??? lbs. On the road for business unexpectedly.
06/14 ??? lbs. Hopefully tomorrow when I am back to my scale I won't have damage to my weight to undo.
06/15 286 lbs. Could be worse under the circumstances of being out of town, late night systems installations and 16 hour support days, snacking, restaurants, and some G&T/scotch while socializing. To make it home and be weight neutral is actually OK!
06/16 286 lbs. No change.
06/17 287 lbs. The Father's Day festivity begins on Friday night.
06/18 288 lbs. It continues all day Saturday.
06/19 289 lbs. It ends with Sunday night. Back to work on my diet. Including no booze until July 4th.

SW:274 CW: 258 MGW1(mini goal wt): 249

06/12: 262.4 (up .2lbs but it's expected as I did not do much exercising yesterday and ate a bit over my cals. Tomorrow will hopefully be better as it will be Tuesday and I usually eat better throughout the weekday vs the weekend.)
06/13: 262.4 (More like Cal in Cal Out when your body wants it out...ugh. I wasn't that hungry yesterday and ate a little below 1200 (not on purpose) and worked out really hard. I guess my body is not used to it and is trying to hold on to every little carb and sodium I do take in)
06/14: 260.2 (I couldn't eat that much last night but forced myself to eat an apple and pb2 to get to 1000 cals after working out for an hr...will try to eat a bit more today if I workout for a long time...on a positive note that's 14lbs down in almost 3 weeks eating on average at 1700 cals!)
06/15: 259.4 (Awesome beans!)
06/16: 259 (I couldn't workout last night due to the power going out...ugh but I still went down .4lbs so I am content...now here comes the hard part...the weekend)
06/17: 257.8 (I was so busy yesterday that I barely had time to eat. Still managed to get in at least 70 mins of exercise in and 1200 cals (at least I think...I hope I am not underestimating my cals) though!)
06/18: 259.2 (not gonna lie I am kinda bummed out about this number because I worked out hard yesterday and I was sick. I also ate pretty decent...not going over my goal. The only thing I can think of is that I haven't gone to the bathroom in 2 days so maybe it's that or I overestimated. How many calories does Swai fish really have? Cuz thats the only thing I ate that I wasn't sure about in cals everything else was a no sugar added peach cup(35) brown rice which I measured to be 180 cals, stewed tomatoes (155) quest bar(190) banana(121) unsalted rice cake (40) with my 0 cal tea and an apple(130) and 2 handfuls of sea salt popcorn(105)...and all of this was during the day. Did not eat after 5 because I was really sick...dunno)
06/19: 258.4 (did not work out yesterday...was too sick but I made up for it today! 18,657 steps and almost 2 hrs of exercise!!! Woot Woot!!!)

06/12 - 205.9. Yesterday was the first day that I've tracked my calories using MFP. I did pretty well, had about 150 calories to spare. I'm not following any specific diet, just eating what I would normally eat, which is a vegetarian diet, and watching my portion sizes, making sure to measure when needed. Today's weight is actually 3 ounces more than yesterday's weight. Hopefully it will start going in the opposite direction by the end of this 10-day challenge. Oh, and I exercised today. I did a beginners step aerobics dvd.

06/13 - 205.7. Down 2 ounces. Yay for the downward trend! Today I had a crappy day at work and I ate more chocolate than I should have. Stress is a food trigger for me and I need to keep that in mind and make a point to change my behavior (turning to food) next time. I logged all of my meals today using the MFP app. No exercise today. I'm going to attempt to get up at 5:15 am tomorrow and do step aerobics before work. We'll see how that goes.

06/14 - 205.8. Not the direction I was hoping for. I know from past experience with weighing myself every day that my weight fluctuates up and down during the week. On a good note, I did get myself out of bed at 5:15 am and worked out.

06/15 - 205.1. Yes! Now I have to keep this up. Didn't get up at 5:15 am this morning. I was tired all day yesterday from getting up early. I'm going to try exercising after dinner tonight and see if that works better for me. I've tracked all my food and today I started tracking my water intake -- 9 cups so far today.

06/16 - 204.6. I did a little happy dance this morning when I weighed myself. Last night I worked out, did one of the 2-mile Walk Away the Pounds DVDs, and that worked out better for me. This challenge is forcing me to evaluate what I'm doing as far as exercise and eating and tweaking as I go along. I like that. In the past, I'd never put a lot of thought into my weight loss attempts. I would just try to eat less or count points or sporadically exercise, and that's probably why I've failed in the past. This 10-day challenge keeps me focused and accountable, which is a good thing.

06/17 - 204. 6.

06/18 - 204.4. Down a pound and a half...yay! I'm pretty sure it'll be higher tomorrow, though. I haven't been to disciplined today.

06/19 - 203.5. I wasn't expecting that this morning. In fact, I thought it would have gone up based on yesterday's eating, but I'm not complaining.

I like the idea of putting in numbers from other rounds because it shows how far people have come. It's 'only' 10 days but they add up when you keep committing. Sometimes it seems like a daunting task when challenges last for months. So here goes:
R2 SW 221
R3 SW 217.4
R4 SW 215
R5 SW 212
R6 Missed- Was away with no scale
R7 SW 208.4 (June 11)

06/12 - 207.8
06/13 - 207.4
06/14 - 207.6 Getting close to a mini goal, as usual I'm going to have to buckle down and fight for it

06/15 - 207.2
06/16 - 206.6
06/17 - 205.8

06/18 - 205.2
06/19 - 204.8
06/20 - 204.4

Goal for 10 days - 132.5

06/12 - 136.1
I'm a little disappointed in myself. I maintained my weight Friday and Saturday (weekends are usually hard for me to eat within calories). Then last night was just a free for all. I went 1100 calories over for the day and it shows on the scale this morning. I've never weighed myself on a Monday. Back at it today though. Workout planned at 8:00!!

06/13 - 136.4
Well that went the wrong way ... had a good day though. Good workout and avoided temptation of food and beer at an impromptu get together with neighbors.

06/14 - 135.3
Good food day yesterday, just under 1200 calories. No time for my workout. Getting wo in first thing this morning!

06/15 - 134.9
Good day for exercise, bad day for food. I was around 700 calories over my 1200 net goal. To be exact, I was 3 full calorie beers, 1 m&m cookie and 1 serving of potato chips over

I'm hoping it doesn't catch up to me tomorrow because I have to weigh in for my biggest loser group.

06/16 - 134.4
Finally less than the day before this started ... but now the weekend. I have at least 3 meals out (my oldest son is graduating from high school tomorrow). I am more motivated than usual to stay strong this weekend, it will be interesting to see how it goes.

06/17 - 134
Moving in the right direction, but today is graduation day, dinner out and no exercise ...

06/18 - 134.9
Well I'm up a little, but not bad. We went out to dinner last night after my son's graduation. I have to say knowing I had to post my weight this morning totally made me order off the healthy section of the menu and it tasted good! Last Sunday I went a little crazy. Lots to do today, hopefully no eating out! No time for exercise though, we go straight from football to baseball so not home all day.

06/19 - 135.1

No where near my goal of 132.5 ... but from Friday to Monday I'm up less than one pound. Generally the weekend sees me up 3-4 pounds and then it takes all week to get back to where I started and that's why I have not been able to lose the last few pounds. Next 10 days I'm setting my goal based on day 1 of weigh in, not what I weighed the day before. I'm going to rock the next two days!!!

06/20 - 134.5
So I'm just .1 higher than Friday on Tuesday morning. That's a score for me!! The rest of the week my workout partner has training for her job and can't workout. It's going to be tough to get it done alone

I'm also in the car for several hours today and I have to eat out for lunch ... tomorrow is our last weigh in for my first 10 days and I want to make it a good one!!! Loving this challenge so far

6/15 - 242.8
6/16 - 243.8
6/17 - 243.4 - Back to the gym for the first time in months - the doc cleared me and I was doing my first set within 10 minutes.

06/12: 135.6

HOLY COW! I was so excited to log in and write this morning! Successes--I've been putting in at a calorie deficite pretty much every single day and when I'm not formally exercising I'm at least staying active. Failures--well I bought a bunch of pastries from my favorite French shop this weekend and chowed down so I had to work out hardcore just to burn them off.

Hoping this pound stays off and it's not a fluke! *fingers crossed*

06/13: 134.8

I think this is one of those random dips in weight after coming off of a plateau for what seemed like forever. Also I've cut out a lot of dairy from my diet as it was a major source of excess calories.

06/14: 136.2

I'm constipated today. Enough said. :-(

06/15: 136

Didn't really exercise yesterday but I came in under calorie count. I'd like to think this is a sign that I'm headed back in the healthier direction. We will see.

06/16 Stayed over at a friend's last night and she doesn't have a scale. I knew I was going to go over my cal count because it was a sleepover. Did 10 mins of HIIT though and am super sore today.

06/17 Forgot to check in yesterday but my weight was 136.6

06/18: 135.4

Spent most of yesterday being active: went to an outdoor farmer's market, then to the pool with my neice (who is super active), then to a soccer game. Didn't eat great though. Got to get back into the mindset.

06/19: 135.6

That's ok. I went over to my Dad's for Father's Day and ate some country home cooking so I'm not too surprised. In an effort to spare myself some calories I made up for it with 30 minutes (!) of HIIT. The old me wouldn't have been able to walk because of my knees. Today they are just fine-just a little tired from the intense amount of lunges (still can't believe I can do those again!!!!)

06/20: 135

I am so sore today. I did Aqua Zumba-something I do regularly-yesterday. But that plus the soreness from the HIIT on 6/18 is just killing me. I don't really schedule rest days, I just take one or two a week on the days when I happen to be busiest. Well, I'm not busy today but I can tell my muscles need a rest. And a massage. So today I just really need to eat healthy!

Starting Weight: 171
10 day challenge weight - 168
Goal Weight: 139 by October 31st

06/12 - 171

06/13 - 172.4 - grrrr that's annoying. I came in under calories and spent 30 min on the elliptical yesterday.

06/14 - 172 - better than yesterday but still discouraging. Again came in slightly under calories but no time for exercise yesterday. Determined to keep it up and see better results tomorrow.

06/15 - 171

06/16 - 170 - Yay! No exercise yesterday, but continue to meet my calorie goal daily. Doing the elliptical this morning. Typically do 30 min. Will try for 35 min today.

06/17 - 170 - did 35 on the elliptical yesterday and 36 minutes this morning! 4 days of exercise this week up from 3 last week. Did a lot of walking as well...well, a lot, is relative. My job keeps me pretty sedentary but had to walk up 6 flights of stairs due to a broken elevator.

06/18 - 170.7 - Ate sodium and fat laden fried catfish with a couple of hush puppies and fries yesterday... :-/ but already did 37 min on the elliptical and will try to stay at calorie goal and burn some extra calories doing housework today.

06/19 - 171.6 - I knew my weight fluctuated day to day, but I expected it to be going the right direction overall at least. I have been sticking to calorie allotment daily and increasing my elliptical workout time and days for the last 2 weeks. Maybe I'm underestimating my serving sizes...think I'll get a scale and start weighing my food. I won't lie it's a little discouraging, but I am not giving up!

06/20 - 170.8 - Silly scale...hopefully it will be in a good mood tomorrow so I at least finish somewhat lower than I started! Continuing to come in at or below calories on the regular. No exercise yesterday or today due to long work days, but back on the elliptical tomorrow.

Round 1 for me!
6/12: 269 Couldn't bare to put 270lbs but I probably weighted more than that! Feeling pretty bad I let myself get to this point! I have never walked this much in one day in months! Feels great! NSV worthy!
6/13: 267.8 Surprised I lost that much weight, I might have overate on my calories a little! Teeehee!

6/14: 266.8 I had a little more snack than I should have had, but I must have been able to burn enough calories as to where it did not matter! Went for a walk this morning in heels, definitely going to have blisters on my ankles. Gonna go for another walk, as well. Nothing is stopping me anymore!

6/15: 267.8 Welp! I ate something my boss brought back for me, and my heels were too busted to get a good walk in.

I am extremely ready to get a 30 minute walk in after work! Looking at my weight loss so far, the gain could have been worse!
6/16: 265.6 WOW! Super excited to see that! Now I can start showing weight loss on my ticker, had to lose the extra weight I gained. Two coworkers gave me their leftovers, I split it between myself and my twin. Did not eat anything else because I wasn't too sure what the calories were. Walked but not as much as I wanted to. Starting to feel confident!

6/17: 263.0 Holy crap. . .starting to think I am not taking enough calories in?. . .[full post in previous]
6/18: 262.0 I had steak, and fast food afterwards, with no extra attempt to walk. I think this is the food God's way of saying "enjoy your day" LOL! I can't believe just Monday I was 6lbs heavier! This challenge makes me want to get up and log every day!
6/19: 263.0 I still had 700 calories to consume, didn't go out of my way to do any exercise. Going to the gym tonight hopefully, I am wearing the same shirt I wore last week and it doesn't seem to be riding up, but there is a lot of improvement to be done!
6/20: 263.2 Gained two ounces, not too sad because I consumed my sister's making of pancakes and a crap load of butter. Did 35 minutes of activity [according to Fitbit] so it could have been worse.

Going to the gym tonight, going out with a bang!

6/21:
Almost at the finish line!!

6/11 I'm in again.
Woke up at 150.4 today thanks to too many carbs and beers while camping.
Let's see what round 7 brings. Nothing but the best.
06/12 149.4 OK, some water weight gone. Under on carbs and cals. 30 on elliptical. Still 1.4# over from when I started round 6. Gain so easy, lose so slow, that's the story of my yoyo. LOL My goal for this round is to get in the 147's.
06/13 148.8 Yahooooo. 35 Elliptical (interval), trained, made cabbage soup to get me back on track.
06/14 147.5 Yes!!! Did 30 on elliptical, an hour of water aerobics, ate clean. 1/2 more pound off and I'm halfway to my goal weight of 132. I am soooo stoked. It's been slow, with ups and downs, but it's happening.
06/15 148.4 Ah, the dreaded fluctuation. Over on carbs, had some corn and ribs for dinner. I didn't over do it though so yeah for that. Did Elliptical for 50 min. Don't think I had enough water yesterday.Today I go to gym. Here's to a day of virtue.
06/16 147.8 Heading back down despite too many carbs yesterday = 1/3 of an Aldi's pizza. Doesn't seem fair that 2 smallish slices of pizza should pack so many carbs. Oh, but it was good. So happy that I'm logging food and drink and being so good to myself. I may be the turtle in the race but he did win.
06/17 148 No exercise yesterday; allergies had me feeling tired. Gonna go early today.
06/18 147 !!! Big drop for me that puts me half way to my goal of 132. I've lost 15 # since March. It has been slow and up and down but I am so thrilled to see continuing progress towards my goal. Happy Sunday.
06/19 148 Crappola, and that's all I'm gonna say on the subject. Got in 45 on elliptical and then walked quickly for 1 1/2 miles.

06/20 147.6 Not as much down as I'd like but almost 2# down since this 10 day start so I'm on track for mini goal. Did my work out yesterday and ate clean. I'm thinking that when we up our exercise it takes a day or two to show on scale. What do you think?
