JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 10

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.
7/19: 202.3 - I'm happy with this. Last night I felt so drained and depleted I pretty much ate whatever I wanted. I didn't go crazy - we're talking turkey sticks, granola bars, the entire pint of halo top instead of half, bread on my burger and a big glass of milk. I felt satiated and still down on the scale! So I'd call that a win!

Ready for Round 10 (round 3 for me). Thank you for setting this up, Cyranda!

7/19 267.2 -- There we go. A nice, low sodium day yesterday. Let's see if I at least get back down to where I started out this 10-day period. It really does help to have the averages above for the previous weeks to look at and remind myself that the average this time will be lower. Progress is being made even if the daily fluctuations make it hard to see. Onward!

7/21

I so agree. Seeing the decline, the averages, even if slow and irregular, helps to show that I am winning at this.

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.
7/19 - 215.2 lbs. Hit my goal for this round! Now lets see if I can keep it over the next 2 days. Ended up walking 21,000 steps yesterday (13.8 km) during work yesterday.

7/12 - 145.4 at 5:00 a.m. I've been retired for two and a half years. I had to buy bigger jeans in order to go to lunch w/friends from work Monday. I cried. I swore when I lost the original 60 pounds that I would never buy bigger pants. Must fix my brain again.

Round 10: (Round 3 for me. Female/aged 71, weight in lbs)
SW: 227; Lowest weight 22/6/2017: 162; Final goal weight: 147
Round 8: lowest, 162.0; highest, 169.0; mean, 165.5 (5 day holiday created overage)
Round 9: lowest, 164.8; highest, 169.0; mean: 166.8
Round 10 GW: 164

12/07/2017: 166. Hm! 1.4 up since yesterday. Didn't pay attention to my liquid intake, so not too bad.
13/07/2017: 168: Cause and effect! Pig out on homemade curry last night (too much sodium again) and a few unscripted treats. I must learn to stick to my pre-logged menu, and weigh portions. I have 8 days to turn this round. Next few days will be flushing meadows. Lol!
14/07/2017: 167.6: Mostly stuck to my pre-log. Changed a few of my snack items, but stayed in deficit. Exercise calories gave a little wiggle room, but I only ate back a small proportion. Some of the burns seem quite high so I am adjusting them down. Drank extra water to flush out sodium. I had a couple of rest days, but restarting my lower body exercises today. I'm looking for a slow, steady loss for the rest of this round.
15/07/2017: 166: Happy with that. Really focusing on hydration, staying under goal, balancing macros/micros, and consistent exercising.
16/07/2017: 166.8 Oops!!! Kind of a lazy day yesterday, and had wine with dinner.
17/07/2017: 166: Yes!!! Back on track yesterday. Balanced macros/micros; hydrated; 11,000+ steps; 20 mins strength training; 20 mins Flex.
18/07/2017: 166: Rather surprised at this as I had a few extra treats last night. Did 12000+ steps, 20 strength, 10 Tai Chi. Family picnic lunch today in the Glens of Antrim. I will pack healthy and walk off any treats indulged in.
19/07/2017: 167.7 167.4 : Drat!!! Under-hydration, and too many carbs yesterday have left me feeling a tad bloated and sluggish this morning, and scuppered my downward progress. Oh well, back to basics today. Balance macros/micros; 10000+ steps ✅; 20 strength ✅; 15 flex ✅

20/07/2017: 166.6: Happy with that! I may have just managed to maintained this round, but it's clear where my focus needs to be next round. Daily goals: balance macros/micros; 10000+steps; 20 mins strength; 20 mins flex. I'm tracking my mean weight for each round on a spread sheet.
21/07/2017:

Beginning weight: 202 lbs
SW for my R1/your Round 8: 195 lbs
SW for my R2/Your Round 9: 190 lbs
SW for my R3/Your Round 10: 190 lbs (blah)
GW for this round: 189...please let me break the 90's.
Ultimate GW: 125 lbs.

07/12 189.5: -0.5 lbs Its taken me 11 days to get under the 190 mark. I'm glad to finally break through it. I just hope it stays!

07/13 190: +0.5 Ugh. I am really starting to hate this particular number. It's my nemesis. Lol I ate under my calorie intake, and I walked 4.5 miles yesterday also. There's always tomorrow.

07/14 189.25: -0.75 I was trying to read up on plateaus yesterday, so that I could move past mine. I adjusted my diet, and I hope that the weight loss sticks. Lol I went biking last night and only got a 20 minutes, 3.5 mile ride in before I heard a very large whoosh like a tornado. The sky was black a road over from me. I knew it was about to get nasty. I had to call my husband to come and get me. He knows my route, and he was already on his way and just around the corner. By the time I saw him, it was already sprinkling, but by the time we got my bike loaded up in the SUV and our bums in the seats, it was a torrential downpour. My hero...he rescued me. Lol Too bad my biking was cut short though.

07/15 188.75: -0.5 I can't believe my eyes!!!! I'm under 189! I actually was like great...I gained a half pound and stepped off the scale. 190 is creeping up on me. I'm a yo-yo. Then, I was like, wait...was that 188, and I jumped back on! Lol Since my bike ride was rained out the night before, I went an extra 15 minutes today and biked 7 miles. It's always pizza night in my house on Friday, so I bought my husband, our 3 children, and their 3 friends some. Then, I went and bought myself a salad and yogurt. I also drank 60oz of water! I'm so astonished.

07/16: 188.75 -0/+0 I gave my body an active rest day. Although I didn't "exercise," I did a lot of walking due to grocery shopping and school supply shopping. I maintained my weight from the day before. All these new low carb recipes I've been trying out for dinner have been a great help for me. 60 oz of water again for me today too, dropping the carbonated beverages, and reducing my refined sugars has done a world of wonders. Having all of you on here to help keep me accountable has by far been the biggest help. Thank you.

07/17 186.5: -2.25 My day started out really well. I ate a healthy breakfast and went on an 8 mile bike ride. Came home and was very sick. I spent most of my day in the bathroom unfortunately. I couldn't keep anything down, not even water. So, this would explain the rapid weight loss right here. Not how I want to lose it, but I'll take it...until tomorrow.

07/18 187.5: +1.0 I'm okay with this number. I was so shocked at yesterday's number that I was going to take a picture of it to prove that it was real. Lol I couldn't believe what my own eyes were seeing. I knew it was simply because of how sick I had been the day before. I ate under my calorie intake yesterday, but I also didn't drink as much water or exercise. I had underwent Suicide Prevention Training and that took awhile. I also still hadn't bounced completely back from being sick on Sunday either.

07/19 188.25: +0.75 Totally okay with this. I thought I'd bounce back to the weight I was right before I got sick. This is okay. I'm still half a lb under. I've been staying on point with calories and water consumption while getting some steps in.

07/20 188.4: +.15 I'm still hanging in. I stayed under my calories and drank 48 oz. of water. I wasn't able to exercise outside of my daily walking though. We had a family emergency last night that naturally had to come first.
