I'm in! This is my first round. Goal to lose 3 pounds.
Day / Weight / Comments
7/12: 204.6 - up a couple pounds. Trying to reset after over indulging.
7/13: 204.8 - bummer, but not sweating it. Way over on calories yesterday, hubby's birthday and temptation won. But it's a tiny fluxuation, back on track.
7/14: 203.8 – Woo, it feels great to see results from dedication.
7/15: At Mom’s, no scale.
7/16: 203.8 – Awesome! Adult beverages at Mom’s didn’t do terrible damage! And I’m back home staying dedicated. Added some light weights today.
7/17: 203.2 – Lost .6 pound over the weekend. Not too shabby. But I’m starting to feel impatient and I shouldn’t. Down 1.4 pounds in 5 days. Just need to keep pushing.
7/18: 202.6 - I was pretty hungry all day yesterday. Stayed within my calorie intake goal and did my walking. I'm getting sick of salads though, so I'm going to switch it up a bit today. I might go over my calories by a little bit, but I'm excited to eat different stuff. And hey, I'm down 2 pounds.... 2 very hard earned pounds! Right on track.

Round 10 (R2 for me)
Original start weight 155
Current weight 138.6
Goal weight for for R10 136.6
Ultimate goal weight 128
7/12 138.8 Boo, even a little gain is annoying. I didn’t get much exercise in yesterday, perhaps that’s the culprit. Under on calories, lots of protein yesterday!
7/13 138.0 Heck yeah!! I was so happy to see that, I was due for a loss.. I’ve had a good week with small gains each day, I knew the loss was coming eventually! Had a good day eating yesterday and got 2 nice walks in. On a side note, I’ve officially been weighing myself daily for a month now and am down 7.8lb! 10lb more to go til my ultimate goal!
7/14 137.4 I feel like it’s too good to be true! Ate decently yesterday (even had a chocolate chip cookie and vodka tonic!) got in a really good walk last night after dinner! Hoping I can keep things under control this weekend.
7/15 136.8 Wow! I can't believe how I'm losing this round, I've gotta keep it up! I had a great week staying under my calories and exercising. Only .2 from my goal for this round!
7/16 no weigh in
7/17 138.0 Ugh. I guess it was too good to be true. Pool party + fair food + TOM + not enough water = a sad Monday morning. I know it’s just water and grossness, so it’ll dissipate this week.
7/18 137.0 That’s what I like to see, a nice drop after a day of lots of water, good eating & walking. I feel good about hitting my goal this 10 days.. I have a good week planned (meal wise) so I should be able to drop a little more!

End of Round 8: 132.4
Round 9 - was away for Canada Day long weekend, didn't weigh
SW Round 10: 132.4
GW Round 10: 130.4
Day - Weight - Comments
7/12 - 132.4 - I was 131 for a few days before this, but up a bit today probably because of a little extra sugary dessert yesterday. Ate well today and went for a few walks but didn't get a workout in. Tomorrow I will go for a run!
7/13 - 131.4 - That's what I was hoping for, was within my calorie goal yesterday. Feeling great today! Now if I can just stay in my calorie goal today and get a workout in, it'll be a good day.
7/14 - 130.4 - Stayed with the MFP calorie goal yesterday, but not mine, which is to only eat half my exercise cals back. Feeling great today though! Got in a beautiful morning run! Now to not self-sabotage this weekend.
7/15 - 131.8
7/16 - 133.6 - TOM, yucky and bloated.
7/17 - 133.6 - Still as bloated and puffy as yesterday. Ate within calorie goal and got a 45 min workout in yesterday, so happy about that. But a little high in sugar. Retaining water, blah.
7/18 - 130.8 - feeling so much better today! jogged this morning and ate within my calorie limit yesterday!

Ready for Round 10 (round 3 for me). Thank you for setting this up, Cyranda!
Weight bounces around so I need a way to see the trends on successive 10-day challenges, so am choosing to look at the mid-point between the high and low of the challenge.
Round 8/1: HW 274 LW 269.8 MidW = 271.9
Round 9/2: HW 269.4 LW 266.8 MidW=268.1
I sense two major challenges for this 10-day period. One is maintaining discipline over logging and calories. Cheating the diary just prolongs the process! The other is changing my cooking habits so I am making not just lower calorie supper but less of it. I am still cooking as if I am eating for two.
7/12 266.6 -- This is the lowest weight by .2 pounds. Let's see what I can do to have this be the highest for these 10 days!
7/13 267.6 -- Ah, the days I wake up thirsty because I didn't drink as much as I ought are the days the scale gives me a swat upside the head saying, "You thought you'd be down today because you stayed within your calories! Well, I'll show you!"
7/14 267.6 -- I think the scale likes that number. Calories just within limits so downward path will resume.
7/15 268.0 -- A couple of sodium bombs yesterday. Who knew an English muffin had over 500 grams of sodium? And then for supper a yummy stuffed portobello. The stuffing? Feta. No wonder my eyes are puffy. Gotta drink more today -- throw in an extra glass of still water.
7/16 268.4 -- Starting out 471 calories in the red today because I went 471 calories over yesterday -- ON LATE NIGHT SNACKING!! I also staid up late. This is a well-established old habit that needs breaking! It's the first time I've fallen back into it for awhile. STOP mistaking sleepiness for hunger!! Especially tonight because that 471 calories is taken from today's allotment!
7/17 269 -- Still up. I managed to cancel out about 1/2 of the overage calories yesterday and should get the rest of them today. Sodium consumption has been a bit up lately but I really am staying disciplined about keeping my eating in check and recording everything in the diary.
7/18 268.8 -- At least this is ever so slightly in the right direction. The sodium numbers have been up, what with a couple meals of feta, olives, etc. in the last several days. And I've managed to completely wipe out the extra calories of a couple nights ago but it was definitely a struggle not to late-night-snack. "Ready for my WHOOSH, Mr. Demille."

R9 SW 197.8
R10 SW 198.9
Round 9 - my round 1 - was just up and down. I'm going to plan for down this round.
7/12 - 197.8. I'd like to see a solid 196 by the end of this round.
7/13 - 196.7 I did not drink as much water as usual yesterday. That may be a factor. However, I have been tracking closely for the last few days and my exercise is consistent. Loving C25K, but I am only in week 2. Lot's of time for that statement to change.
7/14 - 196.7 Same stuff different day
7/15 - 198.0 Stressful day yesterday. We lost water Thursday night and the end result was we had to sink a new pump yesterday. Too much eating of snack type foods. Too much eating in general. I finished C25K Week 2.
7/16 - 198.3 Ate over again. Got my 10K steps in and some extra exercise of challenges. For the week overall (Sun - Sat) I am in the green .
7/17 - 197.5 Alright, alright, alright
7/18 - 197.1 A nice result after a well behaved day. Had a normal yogurt + bran buds breakfast, a salad for lunch with chicken & cheese chunks, and for dinner a butter delight: lemon-butter-garlic chicken with mushrooms sauteed in the same pan, then butter sauteed asparagus. Two mile walk.

End of Round 9: 133
Goal for Round 10: 132
Day / Weight / Comments
7/12: 133
Well at least I didn't go up. I had my niece stay over last night and she is used to eating super unhealthy. So yesterday and today has been one of those days where we've been eating healthy for her but unhealthy for us. Just relieved that we have been really active. Because 11 year olds. I love her but I will be glad to not be awakened at 6 on my day off by someone staring at me and asking for food.
7/13: 132.2
I walked over 10,000 steps with my niece yesterday doing various chores and running errands. I guess that plus Aqua Zumba and a short walk with the dog balanced out the slight calorie overage. Let's just keep this off for the next 8 days so I can make my goal!!
7/14: 133
7/15: 133
No kids in the house. Less eating on the go. Less stress. Looking forward to a good workout and a good date night.
7/16: 132.6
Went out last night and watched A Midsummer Night's Dream plus ate super unhealthy. Honestly I'm surprised I lost weight. I think it might just be water because I drank a lot of it yesterday. I also did some HIIT this morning so I feel like I'm getting back on track with exercise now that everything in the house is settling down.
7/17: 134.2
Must be the totally not worth it LNS from last night. Soggy leftover burrito. Blegh.
7/18: 132.2
Yep. It was the burrito. Back down again. So happy, too. 2.2 lbs away from my goal weight! Did Aqua Zumba last night and afterwards I caught my hand in a bag of salt and vinegar chips. After about 5, I looked at the back of the bag, saw the nutrition info, and decided it wasn't worth it. Yay me! Normally I would be like "Oh well. I earned it." Hoping to remember that if you want to see results you can't just gobble them up!

7/17: 177-Bummer Dude! I was on a roll! Quilting retreat starts today; copious amounts of crap to eat..
Just remember to keep carrying around fabric in one hand and a rotary cutter in the other. Sew an occasional square inside out so you can sit with the seam ripper while others are eating. Work with a lot of plain fabrics that would definitely show food spots so you daren't nibble. (My sister's a quilter -- have fun!)6 -

Round 8 - 139.4

7/12 - 141.0 I think I figured out my yoyo weight by reducing carbs as much as possible. However was up for Round 9 while on vacation and a couple parties. My goal this 10 days is to drop 1 lb and end at 140.8
7/13 - 140.8 I think this is just water loss. For some reason I've had a few nights of night sweats. Not sure what's wrong...maybe my low-carb diet?
7/14 - 139.8 Hoping to stay under 140 by the end of this 10 days.
7/15 - 140.2 Too much snacking & drinks last night
7/16 - 140.0
7/17 - 139.2 Stayed under calories & carbs
7/18 - 138.4 Yay! Hope I can stay down here

First Goal: 170 ✔️
Next Goal: 159 ... At a slow rate
End of R9: 170.2
7/12 - 169.3 Got back on track and had a healthy day!!
7/13 - 166.7. Late weigh in. Before dinner. Let's see what tomorrow brings!!
7/14 - 165.9 ... I've rid some of those weekend endulgent high sodium/ water weight pounds. I really am trying to maintain.
7/15 - 165.1 ... So I've badly burned the roof of my mouth with a hot hot cup of tea. It's so bad I can hardly swallow. So I haven't been eating much. But have enjoyed some ice cream!!!
7/16 - 165.8. Too much ice cream!
7/17 - 165.4 Had a lovely hike with SO yesterday. The roof of my mouth is still very sore, hoping that in the next couple of days I can eat a decent meal! Enjoying the ice cream and yogurt though.
7/18 - 165 Fairly stable. Looks like a big jump at the start but I was up a little previous weeks. Hope to hit my steps today and am looking for a healthy BBQ grilled dinner.... Maybe grilled shrimp and veggies!!

SW: 234 lbs (June 19, 2017)
R8 SW: 229.4
R9 SW: 225.8
R10 SW: 218.2
R10 GW: 215.2
7/12 - 218.2 lbs. Big drop last round. Should probably assess my intake if this doesn't slow down (although the drop is great...just fast).
7/13 - 217.2 lbs. NSV fit into my old running jacket that I haven't been able to fit in for a long time. It's tight but just 2 months ago I couldn't even zip it up so great moment.
7/14 - 218.4 lbs....Um what? Lovely water weight surprise (I guess). Ate instant potatoes again yesterday and had a root beer float just before bed. So probably the culprit?
7/15 -no scale. At bf and his scale has given me 5 different values ranging over 5 lbs. think it's safe to just skip weigh in today.
7/16 - 218.0 lbs. Well I'll take it. Ended up eating slightly over maintenance yesterday. Was inventory night at Costco (sooooo much counting and moving flatbeds) so they brought in pizza, cookies, candy, and pop for all of us. I sampled it all lol.
7/17 - 216.8 lbs. downward ho!
7/18 - 216 lbs. Almost at my goal for this round but heading to the Taste of Edmonton (copious amounts of sample size food from dozens of restaurants around town in one small little area= food coma) on the 20th so need to concentrate pretty hard to keep this number steady.

End of Round 9: 166.0
Goal for Round 10: 164.0
7/12: 165.4 - a nice drop. I just want to stay under 166.
7/13: 164.4 - I've been drinking plenty of water and getting a good night's rest.
7/14: 165.0 - was expecting this uptick. Had a slight cosmetic procedure yesterday so I expect I'm a little swollen and no exercise for me until Monday.
7/15: 163.6 - looks like I dropped some water weight. we'll see if it sticks.
7/16: 164.6 - totally expected. Way too much sodium yesterday and way over my calories. Gotta tighten up these next few days to make up for it.
7/17: 165.6 - way over my calories and sodium again yesterday. Spent the weekend with my SO and I find it hard to stick to my calories around him unless I prepare all our meals (which I didn't). Going to try to get back to 163.6 to end the 10 days at my lowest weight so far.
7/18: 163.8 - 12 glasses of water and I cut back a little yesterday to try to make up for my overage this past weekend.
