Round 11: (Round 4 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: lowest, 166.0; highest, 168.0; mean 167.7 (166 on 4 days! I know I can improve on that!)
Round 11 GW: mean, 165
22/07/2017: 166.8. -0.6 on yesterday. Today's focus is to balance macros/micros, hydrate, 10,000+ steps, 20 strength, 20 flex.
23/07/2017: 166.6. Another -0.2.
Family day today, so I got my strength and flex in early. Goals: balanced macro/micros, hydrate, 10,000+ steps, eat moderately this afternoon at my daughter's house. It's not easy to refuse when my grandson has baked for my visit, so I keep calories in reserve.
24/07/2017: 165. Wow! Didn't expect that whoosh! Had some baked goods and chocolate, but stayed under calories and stayed hydrated.
Today's Goals: pre-log/follow through to balance macros/micros; hydrate; 10,000+ steps, 20 strength, 20 flex.
25/07/2017: 165.6. Normal fluctuation. Today is my wedding anniversary, so I'm expecting a little more 'fluctuation' tomorrow morning!
26/07/2017: 166.5. And there it is! Lol! I enjoyed a marvellous day. Cause and effect! High sodium from restaurant meal, so holding water.
Today's Goals: pre-log/follow through to balance macros/micros; hydrate; 20 strength, 20 flex ✅; 10,000+ steps. ✅
27/07/2017: 165.6. Now to stay on track. Pre-logging food (including snacks) helps plan meals. I tweak amounts when I weigh the cooked food.
Today's Goals: pre-log/follow through to balance macros/micros; hydrate; 20 strength ✅; 20 flex ✅; 10,000+ steps ✅
28/07/2017: 165.8. Almost steady! Stiff muscles from all the leg work I have been doing, and my knee was playing up again yesterday, so I eased off a bit today on the lower body work. I think it was the Dynamic Yoga that did it. I will do a gentle Tai Chi session today.
Today's Goals: pre-log/follow through; balance macros/micros; hydrate; 20 strength ✅; 20 flex; 10,000+ steps

GW for this round... anything in the 1's
7/22 - 199.2 just sayin'
7/23 - 200.4 had too much salt, was a bit disappointed this morning because once you see that 1 it's hard to look back, however briefly.
7/24 - 199.2
7/25 - 197.8 wow, 198 was my target for July.. I wonder if I can just annihilate it!
7/26 - 197.2 not certain how to process this quick drop off a plateau, after so long being stuck in the 200's

7/22 234. Starting my first 10 days. Walked in the park 1 mile.
7/23 still 234 no exercise today blahhh!
7/24 234 VBS so no exercise
7/25 236.4 oh no going the wrong way
7/26 236.2 alright moving in the right direction now
7/27 235.2 VBS all this week so the only exercise I got was chasing little kids in the nursery. They serve a small meal each night and of course there was gluten in most of it and I have felt my stomach grumbling in protest. Once I detox from the gluten my scales should start to go down.

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: 199.6 – Hopefully I don’t undo my progress this weekend. This didn’t come off without a fight.
7/29 – Girls weekend, no scale/internet access

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.
7/28 - 175.5 worked out but only ate to my original goal instead of the goal + workout calories.

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.
7/28 245 At least I've held here for last few days. 70 on ellip again but food choices need improvement. I seem to have lost focus. Back to basics. I haven't been making protein drinks and it shows. I get hungry and make poor choices.

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+.
7/28 184.4 Not much of a loss, but I've made great progress this week. I'll definitely take it! I did my 4th day of my walking plan and put in 10,000 steps. Stayed under my calorie intake for the day too.

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.
7/28 - 153.4 - The back of my brain was thinking this 153 thing was a fluke...but apparently not! Got my "better than nothing" work out in yesterday on top of my 16000 steps. Editing to add....I bought a new top yesterday...SIZE SMALL!!! Non scale victory!!!

Goal for R11 = under 195.0
Day / Weight / Comments
7/22 - 197.3 Up today. As long as the trend is down I can handle the fluctuation. Hello Weekend!
7/23 - 196.9 Busy day yesterday, outdoor work, also a few good workouts, including C25K W3 D3. Pizza for dinner, but still under calories overall for the day.
7/24 - 196.4 30.0 pounds down in 29 weeks. Happy dance!
7/25 - 196.4 okie dokie. Started on a big old spiral sliced ham last night so I am upping my sodium. Better keep sweating. Day 1 of C25K Week 4
7/26 - 194.7 It feels like the numbers 4 and 7 are transposed. I double checked my eyes. I expect to go up the next few days as I usually do when whoosh happens. But I have eaten lightly the last few days - it's been so darn hot and I have no ice cream in the house to cool me off. A few days of poor appetite won't hurt me.
7/27 - 195.5 Yep, here it is - whoosh then bounce. So yesterday I missed my 10K steps by ~500. I was racing the clock up to midnight, walking the dog very late. I thought I might get it in. So hot and humid. At 11:00 the temp was 83 but felt like 90. Had to get my C25K W4 D2 in this morning. Indulging today in a going away party for a really great boss. May regret it tomorrow.
7/28 - 196.0 Not a big deal. My weight always goes down and up down and up. But I'm still targeting under 195 this round.

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!

7/22: 193.4 waaaat?! Lol weight coming down fast all of a sudden. Probably because it's hella hot here in NYC, and I've been a lot of walking in addition to my active job. Still, wasn't expecting to see 93 this morning. Hopefully I can keep my focus.
7/23: 194.4 I knew it was too good to be true. Also, didnt get enough water yesterday. Only managed about 6 cups. But I'm still under 95 so I'll take that lol
7/24: 193.6
7/25: 193.0☺ I have a few days off, so I'm going to try staying active, even though I want to rest.
7/26: 193.4 late instant ramen craving that I couldn't deny. Also, didn't get much walking in since I was stuck doing an online training for work, but lots of water and back on the grind tomorrow.
7/27: 193.6

7/25: 249.6 (maybe I should weigh myself before I do strength training?)
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.)

Original start weight 155
Current weight 134.6
Goal weight for R11 132.6
Ultimate goal weight 128
7/22 134.4 Tiny loss, better than nothing. No real plans this weekend, so that should help to keep things in check.
7/23 134.6 too much processed food today.. and no exercising, tho my toddler is sick so cuddles with her are more important today.
7/24 133.8 Nice! Went over my calories with dinner yesterday, got in a late walk to just get me under for the day. Happy to see a loss! Toddler still sick
7/25 134.4 Not sure why I have a gain today.. under calories yesterday and exercised. I do have a cold now, curtsey of my daughter, so I’ll blame it on that. Hope today goes better and I feel better.
7/26 135.2 Ok what the hell is going on?! Does being sick make you hold onto water or does taking Tylenol/Ibuprofen? I've been under calories both days and exercised and still gaining. Getting very frustrated. And I still feel like crap
7/27 no weigh in today
7/28 134.6 On my way back down, still not feeling 100% but no longer am taking any Ibuprofen, so hopefully the water retention is making its way out. I’ve stayed under my calorie goals & worked out each day. So, I know I’m doing it right, just holding onto some water somewhere. This weekend should be ok, of course the day before our last weigh in I have a loooong overdue date planned with the hubby. I have no plans to count calories or nitpick what I’m eating/drinking, I’m going to enjoy myself and whatever happens happens. I don’t foresee myself reaching my goal these 10 days, but that’s ok.. this sickness really sidelined me.. and the last 10 days I surpassed my goal, so I’ll call it even

R9 SW 353.8
R10 SW 358.0
R11 SW 354.4
My 10 day goal is to get to 351lbs, exercise 7/10 days and log everything.
7/22: 354.4
7/23: 354.2 Went over calories, but still ate pretty well. I didn't drink enough water for the day.
7/24: 353.0 I exercised first thing in the morning, stayed under macros and went to bed early. Did not drink as much water as I could have.
7/25: 353.0 Meh, stayed under macros tho.
7/26: 352.8 I exercised, drank 88 oz of water and spent several hours outside in the heat. I indulged in homemade chili cheese fries, but did not go back for seconds. I stayed under calories, but I need to watch the sodium intake.
7/27: 354.8 Stayed up really late with friends eating junk.
7/28: 354.0 Need to drink more water today.

R7 SW 156.4 lbs.
R8 SW 160.2
R9 SW 157.8
R10 SW 156.8
R11 SW 155.6 Goal for this challenge = NO SELF-SABOTAGE!!!
Final Goal weight: maybe 98 lbs? -- not really sure (sm. boned & petite)
4'11", female, 55 years old
7/22 155.6 Yay!!! Stayed under in calories & did 50 push-ups (10 reg. floor, 10 bent knee, 30 wall) & 20 triceps dips.
7/23 154.4 I'm so happy! I just hope that I don't do the self-sabotage thing, again.
7/24 154.4 Yay!
7/25 155.8 Stressful day, yesterday. Yes, self-sabotage, but not as bad = Don't know why I HAD to have chocolate covered peanuts & honey roasted cashews. I'm calling it self-sabotage because -- it was a craving, but I still did it even knowing..................... actually went to a store & bought them. Not like they were sitting around.
7/26 155.8 Gave blood, yesterday. Was not planned & 1st time to do this. Didn't know that I would practically pass out & have to eat & drink additional calories... oh well. Could have been worse & I'm glad that I did it.
7/27 157.6 Well, this was not unexpected. I thought that I was even back up in the 160s. I had a frightening day, yesterday. At one point, I was even scared that I might be having a heart attack (my Mom's had 2 & she was thin!). Scary symptoms. I am thinking the blood donation did a big number on me. Had to eat more calories, but also could have made better choices. I'm okay...
7/28 157 A tad better. I am determined to NOT do the self-sabotage thing for this round... I am back on track today... I know it!

7/25-159.4 - Trying my best to eat well and drink 1/2 my body weight in water!

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!
7/28 265.4 -- Yesterday was the first off-diary over-calories day in more than two weeks. Take out Chinese + late night snacking. It's going to take a few days to overcome it but overcome it I shall! Back on track!

End of Round 10: 163.0
Goal for Round 11: 161.0
7/22: 162.8 - right direction.
7/23: 163.4 - weekends have been hard this month.
7/24: 163.2 - under calories, but not enough water or sleep. TOM is also here.
7/25: 162.8 - feel bloated so I was surprised at this number. weight is moving slow.
7/26: 163.8 - TOM is still here. still feel bloated. this 10 days isn't going as expected, but I'm content with it.
7/27: 163.6 - can't tell what's going on with my weight. might just be TOM.
7/28: 164.4 - not surprised at this. feel very 'heavy'. Idk what's up besides TOM is just leaving and I've been over my carbs almost everyday this week. been under calories and sodium so I know that's not it. just haven't been a great week for weight loss, but I'm not discouraged.

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!
7/28 - 165.2 - Totally swamped at work yesterday so didn't move much and didn't pack lunch or dinner so picked up semi-healthy takeout.

End R7: 215
...
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.
...
Life happens. Don't let it get to you. You didn't gain the weight in a couple days. You won't lose it in a couple days. Slow and steady wins the race.
Excuse the series of clichés but know that you are among friends who know exactly what you are going through weight-wise.
