6/22: 169.8 - had a great work out last night, but it left me half dead today. haha.
6/23: 170.0 - way over my sodium yesterday.
6/24: 167.8! - killer workout last night.
6/25: 168.2 - take out for dinner last night. Wasn't over calories, but prob was over sodium. Also, slept in.
6/26: 167.4 - TOM is here and I feel like reheated death so that's a thing. Let's see if I can hold to 167 or below.
6/27: 167.4 - holding steady.
6/28: 167.4 - I guess at least my weight is steady?! Hoping to drop tomorrow.
6/29: 167.2 - a small drop, but I'll take it. Been struggling to stay under calories so that's today's goal.
6/30: 166.2 - was upset/sick yesterday. Seems to have done wonders for my weight at least.

One day left everyone! We can do it!4 -
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.
6/29 349.2
6/30 351.6 meh, midnight Taco Bell run for a double chalupa; it is what is.

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
6/29 -134.4 Fish tacos last night! Let's hope this is not going to stick (I don't think it will). But I do have Happy Hour with a good friend lined up tonight. And only 2 days to finish strong I got my 5 mile run in. And fit into a skirt today, that hasn't fit in a long time. So, I know I am headed in the right direction. We will see, it's a lot of persistence and perseverance.
6/30 - 133.4 Happy Hour last night w/restraint. Finished my class at the gym. Happy Friday all❤️7 -

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
6/30 271.2 -- Chinese takeout again. This does not bode well for the six being back for tomorrow but at least I saw it!

SW: 234 lbs (June 19, 2017)

Day Weight Comments
6/22 - 229.4 lbs
6/23 - 228 lbs.
6/24 - 228 lbs
6/25 - 227.6 lbs.
6/26 - 227.6 lbs
6/27 - 227.2 lbs - slow and steady. Also been eating over sodium so that's probably not helping.
6/28 - 226.4 lbs - stayed within cals last night but was sooo hungry all day until i ate a massive meal at night.
6/29 - 225.2 lbs - my scale died yesterday morning and i figured the drop i saw yesterday was to fix the results I was seeing for the few days before that. NOPE. A nice big drop this morning. Officially lost 20 lbs today from my starting weight set 2 years ago.
6/30 - 223.8 lbs - soooo another huge drop. not sure why. I eat 1500 cal...I know my new job is very physical and I may have to consider upping my MFP from sedentary to active to help slow the loss down if it continues like this.

I am also in for another round (round 9)! Found this really helped with accountability and I enjoyed coming in to post.

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)
6/28 - 172.2 < Working out all the weekend fun, sadly the weekend is just around the corner again. 20,000 steps last night of the biggest hills in town and hot out too!!
6/29 - 171.4 < I even had a cupcake!! BBQ tomorrow and I work in the morning so I doubt I'll fit in a long walk, Saturday I'll have to make up for it. Hope I can limit my calories and try and stay away from overly salty foods (Not a hope)
6/30 - 170.1 < ..... (.1) from my goal (.1)!!! BBQ's and fun all weekend so holding on to this is going to be rough... But I want it!! So we will see what happens.

Day Weight Comments
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.
6/29-165.4 ice cream Sunday and carne asada tacos but it was yummy
6/30-165.4 completely impressed! My steps were low dinner at a Mexican restaurant and stone cold ice cream afterwards. Wowzers.... I'm liking the squishy fat and woosh theory.

Looks like a great group.. looking forward to joining Round 9.
* Will that start the 1st or 2nd?1 -
@cyranda63 I assume you will be starting round 9 on the 2nd?
I'm looking forward to it. I need the accountability. Especially with the holiday coming up1 -
@everher and @azsundancer I emailed Hillcrestbaby, who normally does the 10 days, as she is on vacation. If she doesn't respond I will post it tomorrow sometime. One of us will have a new round before July 2nd.2

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.

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
