R8 SW 354.2
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!

Ultimate GW 130
7/22- Started 7/24
7/23- Started 7/24
7/24 -160.4
7/25-159.4 - Trying my best to eat well and drink 1/2 my body weight in water!
7/26 - 157.8 - I was only 8oz short to 1/2 my body weight in water! Hope to keep this loss as I always go off track on the weekends.
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.
7/28- 159.6 - UGHH I knew this was going to happen! My daughters birthday was yesterday and we did breakfast and dinner out... going to push water and eat really well!

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.

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.

I don't know if this will help you but it's helping me. See where I bolded in your text. I find having big goals at the beginning sets me up for failure to meet them. I have so many pounds to lose that I'm not setting goals in terms of how many pounds each week. Instead my goals are more behavioral, for example, not having Chinese take-out for ten days or staying under calories for a whole 10-day period. I can and have done these. This challenge's goal was to start exercising, which I have done ... once. I'm hoping to get in a second. A third would be gravy. Small goals to set myself up for success!6 -

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.

7/27: 210.8 -- over calories, worked out yesterday. Frustrated and unmotivated. Dinner out tonight, too.
7/28: 210.8 -- I've spent the majority of this week annoyed at myself for overeating. However, I have made different choices than I would have months ago; I've continued to work out, and even though I overate at dinner yesterday, I didn't drink. So in the spirit of trying to be kind to myself, I say: Baby steps. Onward and downward.

Started R6 @ 177.1
First Goal: 170 ✔️
Next Goal: 159 ... At a slow rate
End of R9: 170.2
End of R10 165.1
7/22 - 164.9 Lots of coffee today and 13,000 steps!!!
7/23 - 164. 20,000 steps on a ocean boardwalk and a hotdog for lunch!!
7/24 - 164.6 Will continue to hit over my step goal and prep some jar salads and protien for the week.
7/25 - 164.4 12,900 steps. Not really pushing myself but I do have a lot of energy. Like to do 15,000 steps but it's so hot!
7/26 - 163.8 Over 16,000 steps including an evening walk. Hit just under my cals and even had an ice cream treat.... Nestle Real Cream Maple Bars 110 calories. OMG such a nice evening treat. There is chocolate too!!
7/27 - 162.8 Hit a mini goal here... Goal to lose 60lbs before my birthday which is tomorrow. Yay me. My slow progress to 159 isn't looking so slow. Mine and my Mom's birthday is this weekend a few parties and next week is a big camping music festival that we attend so I'll be expecting a gain here. Now my next mini goal is to pull out of these 2 weeks and not fall completely off the wagon. This will be my biggest challenge!!! Please wish my luck.
7/28 - 163.4 Not bad, got step goal in too. Dinner out tonight and a cocktail party tomorrow, will need to figure out how to get my steps in. Will celebrate with a small or shared dessert tonight!! Then set myself up to get back on track. I'm at a point where I want to start slowing down my loss rate, but I've 2 weeks of parties, festivals, camping and family events and a few days of no scale (Eeeek!!). So i'll try and maintain for this time and then cut for a week and hope for a sodium/water loss!! Still needing luck sent my way!!

Round 8--On vacation
Round 9--SW 235.6 End 230.3 Weight loss/gain: -5.3 (vacation water weight)
Round 10--SW 230.3 EW 230.3 Weight loss/gain: 0
07/22--229.9 Goal for the next 10 days is to stay out of the 230's. Went on a hike today, we'll see what the scale says tomorrow.
07/23--228.8 Hopefully this will stick.
07/24--229.4 Totally surprised. Had a lot of salt yesterday and went over my calories by about 1000. Still under 230. It may catch up with me tomorrow, but happy with the small increase today.
07/25--228.8 Drank a lot of water yesterday to help counter with the excess salt I had the day before...I guess it helped. I'm making sure to drink a lot of water today as well.
07/26--227.9 I'm keeping up with the water drinking. Also, the fact that I haven't done any weightlifting this week also accounts for some of the larger than normal weight loss.
07/27--227.2
07/28--227.9 I was expecting this as I had big whoosh over the last couple of days. Still under 230 for this rounds I am happy, I think I can keep at it this weekend. I will be back to my weightlifting today, so we'll see how my body reacts to that tomorrow.

I'll join in. This is my first round. I'm a 47 yo female, 5'6.
Started at 193 pounds in July 2016
Lost to 137 pounds by April 2017.
I'd like to lose some of the almost 10 pounds I have gained back since April (too many vacation meals and drinks!)
Goal weight: 135
Day / Weight / Comments
7/22/ 146.4 / O.k., I gained more than I thought!
7/23 / 145.0 / This time I weighed first thing in the morning. Stuck to under 1200 calories yesterday.
7/24 / 142.6 / Wow! Looks like it must have been water weight from all the salty food and drink over the last 2-3 weeks. I will keep drinking water and stay under 1200 calories. Less than 7 pounds to go.
7/25 / 142.7 / Under 1200 calories yesterday. I want to add exercise, but afraid I will overeat due to increased hunger.
7/26 / 141.6 / Did I really have 5 pounds of water weight?? Now how long to lose the last 5 or so pounds?
7/27 / 142.4 / 30 min on elliptical/ ate back about 300 calories
7/28 / 144.2 / Went to L.A. for the day with a friend and our daughter. Lunch at American Girl Cafe + Dinner at Cheesecake Factory + feeling like a glass of wine with dinner = going over by at least 1050 calories, likely more even by ordering chicken sandwich and off of the Skinnylicious menu. I sometimes miss eating whatever I want without worrying about it. I even counted the walking as exercise. Oh well, it was a really fun day!

@HeidiCooksSupper, thanks for the encouragement.
I think what you said is the key that what we are doing is a lifestyle change. You said that even though you overate your choices were different than they would have been months ago. Same here. I really overate yesterday, but my choices had fewer calories than they would have before I started MFP and logging over a year ago. Then I would have ordered a 1800 calorie mean plus a 900 calorie dessert at dinner at cheesecake factory alone instead of a 580 meal plus a 150 cal glass of wine.6 -

7/27 - 130.2 Not sure what's going on but I am not going to complain. Hopefully going back to the gym tomorrow
7/28 - 130 Back at the gym today. You think I was gone a year not 2 weeks the way I was huffing & puffing. But I am back❤️
