I'm in again! I think I started in round 2. I've been weighing and logging every day since mid March and it has really helped to keep me on track.
SW in March - 182.4 lbs
GW - want to get to 150 and then re-evaluate from there
Coming in from Round 7 at 159.6lbs
6/22 - 159.2lbs
6/23 - 158.4lbs - back on track! I expect some of this is carry over from last weeks TOM bounce around but I"ll take it!!
6/24 - 156.6lbs - Super Whoosh! I weighed myself 6 times and moved the scale to 3 different spots before I believed it LOL...may still not believe it until I see it again tomorrow.
6/25 - 158.2 - yep...it was too good to be true...shortcake at the strawberry festival where we went picking and sushi for dinner

Ended round 7 at 134.5
I would like to lose 1.5 for round 8!
6/22 - 133.3
6/23 - 132.1
In going to try not to get too excited about my overnight -1.2 pounds. I had three beers after dinner and I suspect that's making me a little dehydrated. It's nice to see a number even closer to goal though!! 128 is where I'd like to be. It just gives me some wiggle room to maintain between 128-130. Of course, its the weekend now and those are always tough ...
6/24 - 132.3
Did well yesterday. Stayed within calories. Looking back at the last several weekends I average 2000 calories Saturday and Sunday. My goal for this weekend is no more than 1500 each day. I do not have workouts planned so this will be an extra 600 calories over the weekend. Fingers crossed for the will power!!!
6/25 - 133.8
Well I guess that's what happens when you go 1,125 calories over your allotment for the day ... going to make today a better day. Also going to try for a 4 mile walk. Wasn't planned, but I need it. First ... coffee!!!

GW for this round - 168
Final GW - 140
Coming in from Round 7 at 170 lbs
6/22 - 169.6 - did really well yesterday, 40 min on elliptical and food intake was on point. Expected to see a bigger loss, but I'll take it!
6/23 - 169.6 - No exercise today and pretty sedentary due to work but came in under calories.
6/24 - 168.8 - Stayed close to calories despite a friend's wedding. No "exercise" but ran my tail off getting every thing ready so all in all, I'll call that a win.
6/25 -170 - Darned scale...no exercise but nutritionally on point.

GAME ON!
I need a support system in my life. It's hard to exercise and change the way you eat when you're the only one in a family of 5 that wants to make changes. That makes it even more difficult to stay accountable, and I need that. I hadn't felt right in about 6 months. I was so fatigued and being a teacher, a Mom of 3, and taking care of my niece and nephew so their parents can work, I need all the energy that I can get. Yet, I was falling asleep as early as 6:30, and I felt like I didn't sleep at all when the alarm went off at 6. I started noticing that my left arm started to tingle and become numb. Then, it spread down my left side and all the way down to my toes. My grip waa weaker, and I was struggling to open jars. I finally went to the doctor, and I found out I have a B12 deficiency due to taking medication prescribed from my specialist for GERD. I also discovered that my LDL (bad cholesterol) was better than it has been, but it was still bad, and my HDL (good cholesterol) was too low. It was recommended I lose 7 -10% of my body weight, take 1000 B12 supplement, and exercise 30 minutes a day for a total of 150 minutes a week. So, here I am...trying to improve my health. It isn't an easy thing to do, so I wanted to be a part of something that would keep me motivated and support me along the way. I want to stay on the wagon. I need to. When I started my weight loss journey, I was 202 lbs. This is my first round doing the 10 day challenge. With that being said...
06/22: 195
06/23: 193.5
06/24: 192.5
06/25: 191.5 I AM THRILLED! I JUST HIT MY 10 LB. MARK.

I usually don't weigh in everyday..but it might just be the key to consistency.. which leads to success!2 -
Well, I have been weighing myself everyday and watching this challenge from afar, but I think I'd like to jump in with this round. I have used MFP for over five years (on and off, but mostly "on") and have never posted! Anyway, here it goes!
Final GW: 130
This round GW: 138
6/22: 139.8 Off with family to weekend at the beach. (Oops! I guess I won't be able to weigh for a few days!)
6/23: Vacay!
6/24: Vacay!
6/25: 141.6 Not too surprised-I indulged somewhat and this is the natural outcome. Won't get frustrated, but need to buckle down and get back on track!

Starting weight 148
Starting weight end of Round 7 Challenge 134.4
Goal weight 132
Ultimate goal 130
6/22 - 134.8 not really sure why, but hopefully tomorrow it will be below my starting weight of 134.4 from the end of Round 7. Got in my 5 mile run this morning as the heat was rising in So. Fl.
6/23 - 133.8 wish I didn't have 1 pound swings. I want to maintain this weight throughout this challenge and end a little lighter. My goal is 1-1.5 pounds per 10 day challenge. Working hard and being mindful. Happy Friday everyone!
6/24 - 134.2 Continue to be mindful. Going to a nutrition lecture this morning. Hoping to gain some insight.
6/25 - 136.2 Does not surprise me. I had a very good full meal at Bonefish Grill last night. Back in the saddle this morning. Finished my 5 mile run and back to mindful eating. We all need a cheat meal every now and then. Happy Sunday all!

I'm gonna try this, again. I gained weight for my 1st Round which was Round 7.
I still believe that I can do this, though. I am going to see what I can do this Round 8 -- my 2nd Round.
I must be honest... I expect it to be higher on the first day of Round 8 (my 2nd round). But, after that... I'm hoping to be down by the end of the 10 days.
Final Goal weight: maybe 98 lbs -- not really sure (sm. boned & petite)
4'11", female, 55 years old
So, my 1st Round (R7) Start Weight: 156.4 lbs. End Weight 159.6 lbs.
2nd Round (R8): Begin Weight: 160.2 2nd Round (R8) Goal Weight: 159.2
6/22 160.2
6/23 158.2 Wow, it really helps to follow my meal plan... duh. I've already surpassed my goal for this round, but let's see if I can stick it or get down below it.
6/24 156.8 I was pleasantly surprised as I did have a package of M & M peanuts & a sm. pkg of honey roasted peanuts. I hope that I can stick at this or get lower.
6/25 156.8 I stayed under in calories, yesterday, and am happy with being the same weight. I just don't want to go up (at this point).

I'm in again! Hi, all. My goal, as always, is to lose 2# in 10 days. Good luck and clean eating everyone!
Day Weight Comments
6/22 146.6 This is some kind of fluke as I'm down a pound from yesterday. I slept late and woke up really dry if you know what I mean. But by this I'm down 3.4 from the start of last round. My goal was 2#. Now, on to releasing the next 2.
6/23 149.6 Seriously? up over 3#! Had lunch out yesterday: 1/2 a salad and 1/2 a sandwich. Maybe water weight somewhere. Gonna drink my share of lemon water today.
6/24 147.8 Went to gym yesterday and did my routine. Delightfully sore. Today: walking track. I'm trying a new approach and entering meals, snacks, etc, for the entire day before I eat anything. If I need to change something, ok, but this gives me a plan for the day and when I get peckish I go for one of the snacks I planned on. Gives me more control over sticking to the macros.
6/25 147.6 A .2 loss seemed so small until I realized it equals a loss of 1.4 a week. I'll take it. Did the elliptical yesterday and stuck below macros on everything. Off to plan today's menu. Happy losing everyone.

End of R7: 135.4
SW:135.2
6/22: 135.2
I've been fluctuating in the 135 range for the past week and a half. Yesterday I did 50 mins of Aqua Zumba but then I screwed that up by eating out after. New plan is to eat about an hour before class and have some fruit or nuts for a snack after.
6/23: 134.4
YAY!!!! Stayed within cal count yesterday, too! Unfortunately...I also fell up (yes, I did say UP) the stairs and I did something to my foot and one of my wrists. I don't know what I'm going to do. I have to teach sitting down, so there's no way I can work out. Last round it was a hernia, now this. I'm seriously the most accident prone person I know.
6/24: 134.6
Came in about 100 calories under count last night which is as low as I should be going when I don't work out (I'm supposed to eat a little over 1300 per day, and I usually work out enough in the pool to be able to eat at least 1500-1700. On a side note: my foot really friggin' hurts.
6/25: 134.6
Went to a soccer match downtown. Had to get there pretty early to avoid traffic so we walked about a mile away from the stadium for a bite to eat and some ice cream. I even got a Coke (eek!). Of course I came in over cal count but I usually splurge at matches. I will keep being careful for the next few days. Surprised I didn't gain any weight...

6/22-starting at 200.1, hoping to get to 198 at least over the next few days. Feeling good about it!
6/23- 198.2 hope to have this number at the end but I'm sure its from falling asleep earlier and skipping dinner
6/24- 198 feeling good but need to increase my water today4 -
This is my 4th 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 approximately 10 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. I derailed a bit in the third. The Father's Day weekend-long party didn't help. I am resolved to do better this time.
Day Weight Comments
06/21 287 lbs. My weight at the end of the last challenge
06/22 286 lbs. Good to see it going down a lb.
06/23 285 lbs. A pleasant surprise 2 days in a row with another lb.
06/24 284 lbs. Yes! The damage from the Father's Day weekend-long food & booze festival is behind me.
06/25 284 lbs. Considering things I ate yesterday no change is OK.

6/23: 83.0kg - Nearing its end...
6/24: 81.8kg - Wahey, several weeks of ovarian calm await! Also, I forcibly removed myself from the ice cream parlour before making a purchase yesterday.
6/25: 81.2kg - I'm very mindful that i only re-started on my diet on the 22nd, so whilst I'm enjoying the figures it's probably just all water weight coming off for now. Really hope I may scrape 80kg by the end of this round...

I just started last Tuesday and haven't lost anything. In fact I've gained 1/2 pound! Which really stinks because I'm hungry most of the day and night.1 -
SW: 283
6/21/17 weight: 270.4 lbs.
6/22 SW 270.4 -- Goal for 10 days: be in the 260s.
6/23 274 --yes the scale is still giving somewhat random numbers but most of that +4 (!) pounds is Chinese Take Out and the extra bottle of water I drank with it. Gonna buy a new scale today so who knows what tomorrow will bring.
6/24 271.0 -- new scale and still getting rid of the water weight from that Chinese Take Out. Going to try starting a little exercise today.
6/25 272.8 -- THEM THAT PLAYS PAYS! Okay so how about unsalted tortilla chips upon which I sprinkled salt ... and then that dill harvarti binge late at night? So at least I recorded the binge with breakfast today and will stay within calorie limits even including that extra cheese! Tonight, I go to bed rather than munch late at night!

6/24-166.0/ I was reading and seen someone mention there scale was acting winky and needed new batteries, so I thought maybe mine is too. I weighed 164 then 166 today.... So I will see tomorrow what the difference is.
6/25-166.4/ I guess the batteries were good, still hanging on to the same number. Better then going up on a weekend.

I have a hectic day ahead and wont be able to workout so I'll make this my rest day instead of Sunday.
6/23: 200.6 yeah....not only did I not workout yesterday, I was out travelling, scared to drinking too much water, and I ate this ziti pizza slice that made me feel so heavy. I also got home at around 1am which also made me groggy this morning. Not really happy with my choices right now.
6/24: 199
6/25: 197!! Out of the house all day yesterday walking the city. Woke up and had to weigh myself again I was so surprised. This week hasn't been great for my workout schedule but I was able to fill my off days with lots of activity.
