7/22 / 265 / weight checked at 9am
7/23 / 265.6 / Saturday is my eating out day, so i expected a little bump up. no worries!
7/24 / 266 / blah. water weight maybe? also weighed in a lot earlier than normal
7/25 / 264.6 / weigh in at more normal time, also, less eating crap. weekends are so difficult!
on a side note, i am glad a joined this thread as i now have more of a sense of responsibility to check in,
and to have done my best each check in.
7/26 / 264.6 / considering all the snacks i had yesterday, im glad this stayed the same. had a little too much bread tonight. hopefully it doesn't hurt me too badly tomorrow.
7/27 / 264.6 / forgot to post this, but i def remember it was the same
7/28 / 264.8 / busy day and a little stressed. also, weighed myself at a different time.
7/29 / 264.2 / just hanging in there. was pretty frustrated to see the scale go up, even a little, but trying so hard to stick to it.

Round 11 (R3 for me)

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

7/29 133.2 FINALLY getting rid of all that garbage that I was holding onto due to this cold - which I still have ugh. I am relieved to see the number going back down tho!

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!!!

7/29 - 152.5 - on my mom's scale- Not sure this would be the same on my scale but WOWzers. Yesterday was crazy...and honestly I ate way less than I should have. I'm up in Cottage country staying with my parents and cousin's family visiting for the next 10 days...so this gives me a bit of a buffer for not having complete control over the menu and wanting to indulge a bit on my week off. This also pretty much gets me to the 30lb lost mark since I started in March. Pretty pleased to say the least !!

7/22 / 182. Weekends are hard.
7/23. 181.4. I was not expecting that but I'll take it. Not the best or worst day food-wise but my kids kept me on my feet at least.

. Meal planning and grocery shopping today.
7/24. 180.4 !!!!!!!!!!
7/25 182.6. What? lol. I stayed within calories and worked out yesterday, so I guess I'm just holding on to some water. Some extra carbs too. Drinking lots of water today. Planning to lift weights tonight so I'll probably be holding on to more water tomorrow.
7/26 181.0. Trying to have a lower calorie day today and lots of water.
7/27 180.6... I had a good workout last night with sore muscles today, so I am happy with this. Can't wait to see the # drop under 180 though!
7/28 180.4. I had a sleep-refusing child last night, super tired! Taking it easy on the exercise today.

7/29 181.2. Meh. Yesterday wasn't a great day.

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!
7/28 193 Does anyone else have trouble losing weight while it's that time of the month?! I usually gain a little water weight right before..but omg I still feel so bloated and I'm on day 3!
7/29 191.2. This is a whoosh for me! Yay!! I felt "lighter" this morning but didn't expect to see this number. Water weight can totally mask any loss..I'm proud of myself for sticking with it even when the scale isn't my friend.

7/22 - no scale. On vacation at the beach. Cannot exercise a little longer. What can go wrong with this! Yikes!!!
7/23 - one more day of no scale! I am a bit nervous about stepping on it tomorrow
7/24 - 132 surprised the holy heck out of me. Just a little bit longer with no working out. Hopefully after Thursday

7/25 - 131.4 Not sure how this is happening without exercise. But I am being very cautious about what and HOW MUCH I eat. I'm setting my sites on exercise class Friday @ 8:30
7/26 - 131.2 Love the consistency
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❤️
7/29 -131.8 Too much Happy Hour. Hopefully it won't stick. 2 days to finish strong. Headed back to the gym right now.

Round 7--SW 229.7 EW 228.3 Weight loss/gain: -1.4
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.
07/29--229.4 Well, my body reacted as expected. Total water retention from my great weightlifting session yesterday. I'm off for a hike!

ehseeker · July 2017

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.
7/28 145 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.

7/29 144.4 Made it to gym and it felt so good to be there. Ate mostly fruit and veggies. Gonna focus more on plant food today too. Going to community center to walk the track. Feel the need to change things up a bit instead of ellip all the time.

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!

7/29 267.4 -- BLEAGH! I know it's just water weight from the Chinese blow out two days ago but geez. This, too, shall pass, quite literally. I got right back in the saddle yesterday and will remain!

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

7/28: 195.4 really? Took my Mom to Max Brenner for dinner last night, but I did some walking so I was NOT expecting the results to be this bad....need to put in a lot of work to undo this

7/29: 194.4 that's more reasonable. Got my steps in and drank a decent amount of water yesterday.

7/22 247.8 Muscle relaxer took care of back pain, thank goodness. So I ran a 5K today! Gentle stretch and I am doing fine. Looks like I ~was~ retaining water. Doing great now.

7/23 246.8 Was horribly lazy today AND I ate terribly. TOM.

7/24 250.0 Well, back to running again. That's not good. Of course, I had cheesecake for dinner last night and nearly no water all day. Cravings like whoa.

7/25 Didn't weigh in. Fighting cravings with healthy snacks.

7/26 Didn't weigh in. Really enjoying this granola. Likely too much.

7/27 250.2 Splurged today!

7/28 249.4 Been doing back strengthening exercises. It's helping.

7/29 246.2 Getting back into the swing of things with a 2 mile run today! TOM ended and weight fell off. The working out likely helped too!

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.
7/28: 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.
7/29: 208.8 -- slightly over calories (50ish), worked out yesterday.

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!

7/22: 250.8
7/23: 250.8 (not a loss but at least its not a gain)
7/24: 249.4 (Yay!!! I reached 25lbs lost!!!)
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.)
7/27: 249.4 (not a big whoosh but I'll take it)
7/28: 249.4

7/29: 246.6 (huh? So you telling me I go 3 days of eating very clean, low carb, low fat low sodium low sugar and no change and then I decide to eat high carb high fat high sodium high sugar and I lose...like wtf? I don't even know if I stayed within my deficit but obviously I guess I did. I guess that was the whoosh I was looking for.)

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.
