Day Weight Comments
6/22 140.8 I was pleased with this – officially 5lbs down since I started weighing myself daily on 6/12. I took 2 half-hour walks yesterday and was below my calorie count for the day
6/23 140.2 Did a 45 minute bootcamp class last night that kicked my butt! Came in well under my calories for the day, happy to see a loss
6/24 140.2 No change in the scale, I didn’t get in any exercise yesterday so that may explain it
6/25 139.4 Reached my first mini goal, to be at my pre-pregnancy weight! Had a good day yesterday – resisted pizza and brownies at a family get together
6/26 140 A little surprised I’m up today, I had a good day yesterday... less water intake, maybe that affected it. Oh well, it’s a new week!
6/27 140.4 Not happy, the scale is going the wrong way.. and after a good day!
6/28 140 Pleased with seeing a loss today, I think my sodium intake has been too high this week, which is causing me to gain/stall out, compared to the previous weeks

R8 SW 354.2
This will be my first 10 day challenge. Goal is to log everything, drink more water and up my activity level.
6/22 354.2
6/23 355.8 ate 4 chick-fil-a cookies and some ice cream plus no exercise
6/24 354.0 did some walking and drank lots of water
6/25 355 I had fast food and did some late night snacking.
6/26 353.8 better today, went walking
6/27 353.4 did more walking today and plenty of water
6/28 350.8 I'm anticipating Thursday thru Sunday; the days I usually fall off track. I need to make some plans to have some self control this weekend; there's a bday party on Sat. I will try not to eat out before then.

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...
6/26: 134.4
Back down! Again this is the lowest I've weighed since I've started this whole thing. I'm really cool with my weight now, but I started out saying I wanted to get to 130, so I will get there.
6/27: 135
Ugh. So I woke up yesterday and I was feeling icky, by last night I was all out ill. When I'm sick I have no self-control so of course I ate everything in sight. Got to drink some water today. I think I drank like 10 oz yesterday (a new low, as I've always loved water).
6/28 136.8
I've recently realized my body has some sort of lactose intolerance but not technically intolerance because it constipates me rather than the other thing. I took it out of my diet temporarily like the doctor recommended but yesterday I ate some and "it" happened again this morning along with a major acne breakout, which I'm too old for. Guess it's time to clean out the fridge...

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!
6/26 - 133.8 Makes me do a Happy Dance on Monday. The more I come back to that number, the more I know it will stick. Off to the 9:45 class at the gym. And mindful eating
6/27 - 133.6 Getting ready to go to the gym
6/28 - 133.2 I changed the batteries in my scale, so hoping that has nothing to do with the drop (but I am a leary believer). I work out hard and try to be mindful of my eating. Hoping it stays tried and true. Would love to see 133# at the end of this challenge

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).
6/26 156.8 I either stayed right at 1200 calories or was below, yesterday. I mean, I stuck with my meal plan (which was less than 1200 calories), but had a few bites of my husband's baked potato that had chili on it..... I'm still happy with this weight, if I can at least keep it until the end of this 10 days. (I will have surpassed my goal for this 10 day's challenge).
6/27 157.6 I'm still ok with this. I had to eat 2 of my meals very late last night. Didn't eat anything all day until after 6pm & then it was just a banana & an apple. A tough, stressful day. Then, a class... so, didn't eat more until after 11:30 at night.
6/28 156.6 Stayed under in calories, yesterday, again. I am pleased with this weight for this challenge.

6/23: 170.0 - way over my sodium yesterday.
6/24: 167.8! - killer workout last night.

SW from R7: 215
6/22: 216.8 -- Boo.
6/23: 215.8 -- Better, esp. considering I judged a taco contest last night.
6/24: 214.8 -- zumba and music festival today. I expect this won't last.
6/25: 214.8 -- stayed under my calories yesterday, a minor miracle.
6/26: 214.8 -- Yesterday was a damn mess. I expect the scale will react over the next couple days.
6/27: 218 -- dear god. Stayed under calories yesterday, worked out, and had a good walk.
6/28: 217.2 -- At this point I'll be happy to be back where I ended R7 at by the end of this round. Maintaining isn't the end of the world, but...I have to step it up if I want to get anywhere. Under calories, stretched (very sore) and walked yesterday.

6/22-166.0
6/23-166.0
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.
6/26-166.6/ I think I need a new scale it gave me 4 random numbers so I picked the one that was similar to other days ugh. I had an awesome moment I fit into a size 9/10 and I haven't been in that size since 8th grade and I'm not 32 woohoo
6/27-165.2 woohoo
6/28-164.8 finally back down to where I was a last tuesday! Going in the right direction.

6/27 - 172.7 > Huh? Well this is the wrong direction. Thought I cut some cals and although felt lazy crawled off the couch and went for a long walk. Tomorrow is my weigh-in day lets hope this is a sodium build up. (fingers crossed lol)

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!
6/26 270.8 -- almost back where I started. Phew. Behave right, Heidi, and there's still hope of reaching the 260s in this challenge!
6/27 270.2 -- Contented sigh.
6/28 269.8 --New second digit. 2-seven-0 turns into 2-six-9. Must hold on with grasping fingers as it struggles to get away! Epic battle to ensue!

6/22 145.0 - Need to do this!!! My clothes don't fit!!!
6/23 144.6 - walked today before it turned to 107 degrees!
6/24 144.4 - walked today before it turned to 105 degrees!
6/25 144.5 - didn't walk today and now it's too late! stinko!
6/26 144.4 - 2.76 mi. walk with dog. The Delta breezes are back in the Sacramento, CA oven, so it was only 67° when I started. A little discouraged about my weight because I have faithfully tracked that I was not consuming over 1200 calories. Think I had too much salt yesterday. I'll be drinking my 8 glasses of water today for sure!
6/27 143.7 - At last! A break from 144.4!!!
6/28 142.8 - Doin' good!!!!!

Anyone else who has been using MFP (on and off) for a while, enjoy going back and seeing when the last time you weighed what you did? For example, the last time I weighed what I do now was last summer and I'm only 2 lbs away from my weight 2 years ago? Its a simple pleasure but something I look forward to. It's like mini goals set up for you already.5

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.
06/26 284.5 lbs. Weekend gain.
06/27 284 lbs Back to the grind on Monday.
06/28 283.5 lbs. My measurements (taken weekly) are down too.
