7/24 - 199.2
7/25 - 197.8 wow, 198 was my target for July.. I wonder if I can just annihilate it!

I'm back for another round. It's so nice to come here and share success and frustration. I appreciate all of you and this journey we're on.
Started March 162.2
Finished round 10 on 7/21 at 144.6
Planning to lose 1.5 next 10 days. I'm adjusting my goal for the next 10 days. Figuring my age, metabolism, etc, losing 1.5# in 10 days means a daily calorie deficit of 500 calories which equals 1# a week.
Day / Weight / Comments
7/21 144.6
7/22 143.8 Doin' the whoosh!, and drank lots of lemon water to counteract very salty bacon. 50 on ellip. Happy about the drop.
7/23 143.6 sore throat, hard to exercise, hard to eat
7/24 143.2 Not taking credit as I'm pretty sure it's a result of being sick Mostly laying around. But getting better.
7/25 144.2 Well, darn. Up. Was hoping to be in the 143's. Well, I'm better, not over it yet, but should be ellipting today. That will help. Plus, I return to eating sensibly. Been a week since the gym. Depressing. I have to get myself there even if it is in the evening.
7/26 145 Half way thru and higher. Comfort ate yesterday. Today clean eating and hopefully some exercise for the first time in days. Hopefully. What goes on must come off. Right?
7/27 145 70 on ellip but nutty buddy and wine... it could be worse. OK, tonight, the gym. I need to continue my therapy and eat right: low carbs/high protein. Wish me luck at getting back on track.

Round 11
This is my second round and I’m so excited to start. I lost 3.2 pounds in round 10. I’m going to try for 3 pounds again. I am a serial weigher, so this helps me see the overall picture.
R10: 204.6 – 201.4
R11: 200 - ??
5’6”
Short term Goal weight: 195
Ultimate Goal weight: 155
Day / Weight / Comments
7/22: 200. What the what? Not sure how this happened (I was 201.4) yesterday. Let’s expect some to come back tomorrow. LOL
7/23: 199.6 – Woo! I’m so happy to see this. #1 I had a pretty huge loss yesterday (1.4) so expected some to fluctuate back up and #2 I traveled six hours in the car plus trying to stick to diet plan on the fly. And I also indulged in some burger/fries for lunch. Went a tad over on cals. I guess all this measuring and tracking and will power is paying off!
7/24: 200.6 – And there it is. I’ve been expecting this. At least I can say it’s not because I “cheated” or “fell off the wagon”. I’m sticking to it and will keep sticking to it. Still a net loss!
7/25: 200.4 – Meh.
7/26: 200.2 – slow and steady wins the race. Company meeting with pizza, which I plan to forgo and eat my usual turkey sandwich with fruit and yogurt.
7/27: 200 – ugh.
7/28

Thank you, Cyranda, for keeping this going! It really, REALLY helps!
Round 8/1: HW 274 LW 269.8 MidW = 271.9
Round 9/2: HW 269.4 LW 266.8 MidW=268.1
Round 10/3: HW 269 LW 266.4 MidW = 267.7
Goal for this week is to start exercising. I see the Dr. on the 25th and told myself that after that will will start regular exercise here in the house.
Day / Weight / Comments
7/22 265.6 -- A brand new number to start the challenge! First time seeing that five! A little surprised since we had ham for supper but sodium for the day was still between 1500 and 2300.
7/23 265.8 -- Staying with 265 even after ham one night and soy sauce the next. I really expected to hold onto some water. The scale is toying with me. ;-)
7/24 265.4 -- When I look up at the ranges for the two previous challenges, this make me really happy. Keeping within calorie goal is definitely working!
7/25 266 -- Up a touch but that's okay. I've been keeping under on calories but was a bit over on sodium. Seeing the dr. later today.
7/26 266.2 -- Today I need to start exercising. I promised myself I would start today. I've gotten good at staying within my calories. Let's see if I can do the same with exercising.
7/27 264.2 -- WHOOSH! -- a nice low-sodium day yesterday after several high days. I did an exercise video yesterday and feeling it today so expected a bit of water retention. We may see that tomorrow. Now off to recalculate TDEE for that new third digit!

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)
SW for my R4/Your Round 11: 187.6 lbs
GW for this Round: 186 (I'll be back to the weight I was when my husband first met me 10 years ago.)
Ultimate GW: 125 lbs.
7/22 187: Walked quite a bit yesterday. I actually did more than my daily steps.
I did decrease my calories a little throughout the day because I had a planned evening out with 5 of my friends and former colleagues at Applebees. I wanted to make sure that I could enjoy my dinner without worrying too much about my calorie consumption. I thought about canceling even though it was in the making for about a month due to family circumstances, but my husband insisted that I go. I am glad I did. I needed that mental break. I did enjoy it, and I stuck to my diet with steak, steamed broccoli, and water. Yes, it's red meat, and no, I don't eat it often. I stick to white, but red meat is good for my HDL, and I have to boost that up. I didn't eat any breads, even though broccoli does have carbs in it, and I stuck to water. I even skipped dessert and appetizers.
7/23 186.2 I denied myself pizza and instead made a quesadilla. Yes, it was still carbs AND bread, but since it's a tortilla, it was less. I even made a low carb dessert, and it was awesome! First time in a month and a half that I allowed myself something sweet, but I did it the right way.
7/24 186 ✔ I was really hungry yesterday, and I felt that way pretty much the entire day. It was so hard not to go and scrounge around in the fridge for more and more food or even to have a late night snack. I hope this weight holds. It was my goal for this challenge, and I'm now back to my premarital weight.
7/25 185.8 I started the 7-day walking plan yesterday, and I increased my steps by 500 from the goal Samsung Health had set for me. My legs are killing me today! I surpassed by goal by 1,500 steps. I'm usually out biking, but I wanted to shake it up. My body was getting adjusted to it, and when that happens, it's hard to keep losing (from what I read). So, here I am...trying something new for the week.
7/26 185.4 I put in my full 40 minutes for my walking plan yesterday, drank 48 oz. of water, and put in an extra 2500 steps to boot. I also tried out a quick and easy new recipe called "nice" cream on my kids to see if they enjoyed the ice cream that was on so good for your body instead of your booty. It was a hit!
7/27 184.6 This is not a number I expected to see this morning. It was a date night with my hubby, but I stuck to my diet at the restaurant. I completed my 3rd day of the walking plan, and I went over my steps by 2000+.

7/26 - 165.4 - LOL...I knew I wasn't going to get past 165 altogether. I'm already under my goal for this round though, so I'm good. There's a bacon wrapped hot dog with my name on it at the ballpark tonight, so gotta get some extra exercise in today.
7/27 - 165 - Lots of water and extra exercise allowed that bacon wrapped hotdog and still a small loss. Yay!

Last round 7/21: 180.5
Goal this round 175
7/22 - 180
7/23 - 178.5!
7/24 - 177 ::happy dance::, getting closer to my goal for this round! I don't think I ate enough yesterday though. I wasn't hungry by the end of the day so that was good but we will see what happens today. I won't be too upset if it bumps up a little tomorrow if I eat the proper amount of calories
7/25 -178
7/26 - 177 again! And I ate cake for my birthday yesterday
7/27 - 176 - 1lbs away from my goal for this round! Still about 10 away from my ultimate goal but it's ok.. slowly getting there. Trying deperately not to get derailed by my job stress. Seeing how much it makes me want to eat makes me want to quit!! Lol really I just need a different outlet.

7/24 194.4. Too many carbs yesterday and not enough water!
7/25 192.8 woohoo! Lost some of that water weight from the other day! I'm really trying to stick to it even when I see fluctuations on the scale!
7/26 192.6 Not sure I'll make it to my goal this round but as long as the scale keeps going down I'm good!
7/27 192.2 woohoo! I didn't drink enough water yesterday and I had too much sodium but I DID take the kiddos swimming so I tried to get a mini workout in while playing in the pool! My legs are sore today. So out of shape. Lol!

K!! Let's go at this again for 10 days!!
SW 182.4 - in March
GW 150 - will reassess when I get there but at this point I think I'll maintain there for a while and work on my fitness progress.
7/21 - 156.4 - coming in from round 10
I would like to get below 155 in Round 11. I should be starting to slow things down as I get closer to my target. Daily weigh ins will definitely help to keep me in check and not stress the minor ups and downs as I get closer to where I plan to maintain for a while.
Day / Weight / Comments
7/22 - 155.4 - this is about where I was hoping to get at the end of last round...but I'll take it as a starting point for this one!!!
7/23 - 156.0 - tough work out yesterday, muscles are recuperating.
7/24 - 156.4 - ate at a deficit all weekend...worked out hard. Sore shoulder this morning and my rings are crazy tight so I'm water puffy. Re-hydrate and get those muscles repaired so I can see my progress on the scale.
7/25 - 156.0 - a little less water puffy this morning...I'm fully booked with a freelance client this week so fitting in work outs is going to be tough...double booked yesterday so got nothing in, not even a walk with the dog
This week is going to be all about the calories I think...
7/26 - 154.8 - YES!! under 155!!!...not sure if this is from changing my scale batteries or the water I seemed to be releasing every half hour needing to pee yesterday. I'm definitely feeling less bloaty today. My calorie intake has been on point over the last week so I've earned it regardless!!
7/27 -153.8 - WHAAAT! - This is a Whoosh week! I was stuck at 156-7 for a while, maybe I needed this week of no extra exercise for my body to settle and heal a bit. I'm pretty active working in my client's showroom (like 12-14000 steps a day active) so it's not complete rest. Think I might need to add a snack in there though, to slow things down...I'm getting pretty close to my goal...or maybe I need to reassess that goal...hrmmmm.

7/26: 250 (I don't understand. I ate very low in cals...weighed myself before working out...even ate low in carbs and sodium...so why is there a gain? I am sore from leg day from the day before so maybe its because my muscles are tense?...idk that's just weird tho. There better be a big whoosh coming.)

7/27- 157.7 - a loss is a loss and I ate a pretty carb heavy dinner (sub & chips) and I indulged in a little bit of ice cream which I haven't done in a while.

End R7: 215

End R9: 213.8
End R10: 209.4
Goal R11: lose 1 lb.
7/22: 209.4 -- under calories and worked out yesterday. A friend is coming in from out of town this weekend.
7/23: 210 -- over calories yesterday but worked out. Arms are sore.
7/24: 213.8 -- posting this for accountability but it's probably inaccurate since I weighed after having coffee and a bite with my friend this morning and seeing her off. Over calories yesterday, but I walked quite a bit more than usual. Even though we hit two restaurants yesterday I ate and drank less than I would have a few months ago, so I'm calling it an NSV.
7/25: 213.2 -- blergggghhhh. Under calories, worked out yesterday.
7/26: 213.2 --under calories, worked out yesterday. So frustrating.
7/27: 210.8 -- over calories, worked out yesterday. Frustrated and unmotivated. Dinner out tonight, too.

7/27: 163.6 - can't tell what's going on with my weight. might just be TOM.
