    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!

    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.

    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)
    GW1: 199
    GW2: 160
    Round 8 goal: 4 lbs (I always lose weight super fast when I first start eating healthy so thinking 4 lbs is reasonable)

    June 21: 230.2 lbs

    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. :neutral:
    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.

    First goal: 170

    6/22 - 171.9 > Well this was a surprise this morning!! Made the kid walk up the steepest hill in town with me.
    6/23 - 172.1 < Huge after dinner hike and a Berry Protein Smoothie for dessert. Was a good day.
    6/24 - 170.9 > Getting so close. Had a nice walk and (2) glasses of wine. Great evening and SO is home ❤️
    6/25 - 172.0 <
    6/26 - 172.4 < Ugghh a busy weekend with Wine and BBQ salads etc on both days!! I'm getting back on track and SO is away for at least 21 days ... I do amazing with my calories when he's gone. lol Hoovering above my 170 mark would like to hit this soon.
    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.

    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.

    @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 up

    @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.

    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.
    06/29 283 lbs. Liking this round for sure!
    06/30 283 lbs. No change.

    07/01

    My net loss over 3 previous consecutive 10 day challenges: 2 lbs.
    Loss so far this 10 day challenge: 4 lbs.

    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
