JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS| Round 8

GAME ON!
R1/SW: 195
GW: 190

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.
06/26: 193.5 I AM BUMMED! Sometimes, I think that weighing myself every day is bad for my mental health because when I see the numbers on the scale go up, I get incredibly upset. However, it's almost like this compulsive thing that has me going back down to the scale every single morning to see if anything has changed at all. Today, is one of the days that I wish that I never would have looked. I stayed under my calorie intake yesterday, but I must be truthful, I had a slice of my own birthday cake. It's almost 500 calories alone for this cake! Also, since I exercised 6 days straight, I gave my body an active resting day. Now, I feel so guilty. I pushed myself to do an hour of cardio and upper body strength this morning, and I feel sick, sick, sick to my stomach. It's awful!
6/27: 190.5 I ended up in the ER parking lot yesterday thinking I'd need to go in. I spoke to my family doctor, and if I ever became short of breath or chest hurt, then I would have. Instead, I literally slept practically the entire day and night and missed a lot of my calories. I pushed myself in my workout yesterday, but it was more than my body could handle. I never want to feel like that again. I'd rather lose a couple of oz than be sick like that. Please don't make the same mistake that I did. Thank you to everyone that explained to me that weight isn't a downward slide. It fluctuates. I needed to know that, and I need to remind myself of that.
6/28: 190.5 Staying steady. I am still not feeling well since I pushed myself beyond what I am physically capable of. Eating anything at all is hard for me right now because I feel extremely nauseous, but I have been pushing to eat something throughout the day and to drink some kind of water. I only took a casual walk last night around my yard to not push myself too hard but to still get some kind of movement in.

Coming in late to the party. I've been reading and keep forgetting to POST.
So... Hi. How's it going? Great job to all of you who are successfully tracking!

SW: 265/GW: 200
For this challenge:
SW: 253/GW: 248

Day Weight Comments
6/22 253 - I'm using an analog scale and I regret it. Sometimes that 1/10th of a pound loss is inspiring!
6/23 253 - I was craving 'sweet' today, and managed to satisfy that with a cup of cottage cheese and a teaspoon of black cherry preserves!
6/24 252 - Still craving sweet! Made it a point to go walking after work. Woke up without the nagging lower back pain I had gotten used to. Coincidence? Need more data. Guess I'll have to work out more often.
6/25 250 - Was starving after work! Managed to stick with one serving, and ended up full after I'd let that digest. Go me! Did a stretch routine before bed and noted lack of lower back pain. I am seeing a trend here.
6/26 250 - Walked a 5K this a.m. My walk pace has dropped 3 minutes since I started dedicated exercising (June 1st). Also, pain free AND woke up refreshed. What is this magic cure!?
6/27 250 - OK scale, move, I'm rocking it and you are slowing my roll. Went for an early morning jog, in my work uniform and all, and averaged 15 minute miles! Go me! A nice long stretch led to a fantastic day's sleep (I'm a night shifter worker).
6/28 249 - OMG FINALLY. Another 2 miles this morning with a friend. Who has talked me into dedicated jogging dates. So, well, guess I'm a runner now. Yay?

6/22: 83.7kg - Full on menstrual disaster!
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...
6/26: 81.2kg - ...as predicted! But as long as I don't actually go up I'm happy.
6/27: 81.2kg - three days in a row! Well, I've been sticking to my plan so hopefully the numbers will creep a bit lower in a day or so.
6/28: 81kg on the nose! Not exactly a huge drop but I'm happy I haven't gone back up or continued to just stagnate. Going to be particularly good today, maybe I can still make 80.5kg by the end of this...
6/29: 80.7kg! I was not hungry at all yesterday so stayed well within my limit and also avoided bread, so no bloating either. 0.2kg away from my adjusted goal, might still be within reach! Also, I can't believe how quickly these 10 days are passing, nearly July now.

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

6/26 - 159.8lbs - OY! Lots of factors here, but it's NOT going over calories as I've been under maintenance every day since I got back from my vacation. Went for a 25km bike yesterday and my muscles are screaming this morning and I think all the sodium from Satuday's sushi is still around. If I only weighed in on Mondays I would have no idea that I was 3lbs lower on Saturday morning and that's the weight that truly reflects my weight loss at this point. So....lots of water and fibre today to start flushing out what I'm retaining.

6/27 - 159.4lbs
6/28 - 157 lbs - back in the right direction, was feeling much less bloated by the end of yesterday.
6/29 - 157.6 - a small bounce back up...not sure why...

6/29: 190! I HIT MY WEIGHT LOSS GOAL FOR THE 10 DAYS. I didn't log any exercise yesterday because I was too busy walking around. I know I had several steps in, but my next door neighbor's house caught on fire.

It's the saddest thing. They've lost everything. I am going to have to start thinking twice about using my crock pot.

6/29 182.0 I can't believe it! I never lose weight like this. But this is also the first time I'm weighing and measuring EVERYTHING consistently. I think in the past when I've tried to lose weight I had the mentality of, 'it's just an apple, it's just an extra bite, it's just another scoop, etc.' Well all those extra 'it's justs' add up! 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!

6/29 270.4 -- The elusive six has slipped my grasp. Two more days to get it back!

Ended round 7 at 134.5

I would like to lose 1.5 (weigh 133) 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!!!

6/26 - 135.6
Well as predicted I'm up 3.3 pounds over the weekend. Totally my fault. Total lack of self control. Sucks!! WHY are weekends SO hard.

6/27 - 134.3
Ok a little weekend weight gone. Yesterday was easy to stay on track, Mondays usually are. Still hoping to weigh in at 133 by the end of this 10 days! Workout early today, and then a ton of errands and appointments.

6/28 - 133.4
.1 from what I started this round at, but less than my last weight for round 7 so I need to stay strong today and tomorrow and I will hopefully show a loss overall on Friday!! Today my son is having a bunch of friends over to swim and have pizza etc. I need to stay away from the junk food!!! 133 was my goal for round 8, it's within reach!!!

6/29 - 132.8
Happy with this number. If I can maintain or lose for tomorrow's weigh in I've made or exceeded my 10 day goal of 1.5lbs. So interesting to see the ups and downs of my 10 days ... now it's almost the weekend and the 4th of July holiday and grad and bday parties. I'm going to need strength!!

Hmmmm for some reason I thought tomorrow was day 10 ... adding 7/1.

6/28 264.6 Went for a quick morning walk, since I won't be getting home until 7ish, I know I will have time for another decent walk. I thought I would be a little lighter [maybe 263 instead. . . .[longer post in last log]
6/29 262.2 Did at least 40 minutes of 2.5 speed walking throughout the day! Extremely proud of myself. I logged every thing over 100 calories in, I had one snack that wouldn't make much of a difference if it was logged. Definitely excited to enter the 50's (favorite music era

) and even though I am kinda sad about not already being in the 50s, I did not give up. <-- something I would have done any other time I was trying to "lose weight". Haven't been in the 50s since March 28th!

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.

I did something like that this morning! I am going to be back down to the 250s, I checked to see the last time I was there and it was over 3 months ago! Feels great to get the train moving!!

SW 140
GW for this challenge 130 - I did 2 rounds of this, got below 130 then missed a round. I'm back up to 133.

6/22. 133.4 - ate well, below calories.
6/23. 133.2 - a tiny drop. Did a HIIT workout this morning and my goal is to get in a run tonight.
6/24 -133.2 - did long circuit training workout last night and was within calorie goal. Feeling good, though no drop.
6/25 -134.2 - aftermath of sushi yesterday, waterweight from salt retention
6/26 -135.0 - this is a trend in the wrong direction. I deserve it though after the sushi, a bit of chocolate yesterday and no workouts all weekend. Really regretting my decisions this weekend and feeling heavy and gross.
6/27 - 133.4 - ate within calories yesterday. Back to my Day 1 weight.
6/28 - 132.6 - that's the right direction! Ate within calorie goal yesterday and got in a 2-hour treadmill workout last night. Saturday sushi water weight finally gone.
6/29 - 133.0 - grrrr a few hundred over my calories yesterday and walked a lot but no intense workout. Boooohooo

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.

6/26 - 169.4 - Stayed under calories and did 41 minutes on elliptical. I'm trying to increase my time by 1 minute every time I do it...but can't seem to make time to do it more than 3 or 4 times a week. I'm going to lock my office door and try doing some body weight resistance exercises like plank and pushups in my office to see if that helps.

6/27 - 169.8 Went over calories slightly and no cardio yesterday. I did do my first plank in probably a year for 20 seconds and managed to squeeze out 10 pushups from my knees. Wow. I had no idea my upper body was so weak. Minimally sore but not so much I can't try again today. Already did the elliptical for 42 minutes this morning and will do my plank and pushups again when I get to work.

6/28 - 170.6 - Grrrrr wrong direction...TOM must be coming. I'm at or under calories consistently and exercising more and more.

6/29 - 169.8 - Stayed under calories and hit the elliptical for 40 minutes. I really felt crummy toward the end of that. I think I didn't have enough fuel...but later in the day I squeezed out another 10 pushups.

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...
6/29 136.8
Still constipated. I just cleared out the fridge of all my fave dairy products but I left the things that I don't really care for so that my husband can still get his fill. At least I didn't gain any weight? I went on a 20 min walk yesterday along with my usual Aqua Zumba. Went for a walk today this AM too. Going to do some HIIT this afternoon, so that maybe I can get my insides moving.

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

6/29 139.4 Yes! Back down to my lowest so far during this weight loss journey.. just in time for the weekend to screw things up! I have a wedding this weekend + it’s a long holiday weekend, it’s going to be a tough one! Sooo close to my goal for these 10 days!
