    2/8 204.8 could be water as I've upped my intake
    3/8 204.8- no difference better than another gain
    4/8 205.2- went out with friends last - did pick a healthy option to eat but had a cheeky drink .. so I'm not surprised about the gain. Just want to start going in the other direction before the end of these 10 days. The good thing that I'm starting to make better food choices and starting to up my exercise, so that's a blessing :)
    5/8 205.6 - still going the wrong way, disappointing :/

    I've had a rough week too. It's been back and forth all week long. It will happen from time to time. Just don't give up!

    I'm back for more!!! Finished Round 11 at 143.4 which wa a sudden drop at end. My goal for this round again is to drop 1.5 #'s. I'd like to finish at 141.9 or below. Wishing all good food choices, happy movement and successful drops!

    Day/Weight/Comment
    8/1 144.6 Up over a pound from yesterday. Had a couple of beers and some pilaf. Below on cals but the rice and beer put me over on carbs. It seems I can't have anything like rice, potato, processed foods and lose. I haven't lost anything in the last 2 weeks. whine, whine, whine.......
    8/2 144.8 Still going wrong direction. Went to gym yesterday followed by aqua aerobics class. I had a beer and hot dog and that's what's what. Lemon water today.
    8/3 145.6 Up over 2#. Too many carbs for moi. Back to veggies and protein. Lemon water. The basics for me. I've been in this 143-145 range for almost a month. Something's gotta give. Off to gym today.
    8/4 144.4 Stayed within macros, etc, yesterday and got to gym. Off to Aqua class today hopefully.
    8/5 145.4 Sigh. Could be water weight. Going for drive up to Erie, a challenge to eat right. Spent a wonderful hour in aqua arthritis. It's so much fun and an hour later it hits me and I'm tired. At least I know it's doing something. Happy Saturday everyone.

    8/6 144.6 Surprising since I ate sushi for lunch and a 5 guys little burger for dinner. Wayyyyy over on carbs. I guess fresh air and walking on beach helped. Only 4 days left and I'm still yoyo-ing the same few pounds this round again. Out for lunch today. A salad sounds good. Happy Sunday to all. If you're where weather is nice, get out and enjoy.

    8/7
    8/8
    8/9
    8/10

    I've been yoyo-ing all week too. It's making me dizzy. Lol

    This is my first official round. Thought I'd join in officially as I keep nearly getting to the UGW I originally set (will set a new goal when I finally get there), then... not. Focusing on 'where will I be in ten days if I put down the biscuits?', inspired by this thread got me back to my 'nearly there' weight of 61.2kg on July 31st.

    Let's see if I can actually get there all the way this time.

    Original start weight 69-70kg
    Current weight on 1st August 61.2
    Goal weight for R12 61kg
    Longterm goal make 61kg midpoint of my weight range, not the absolute bottom

    8/1 61.2kg. Still! Stayed within goal deficit. Did planks and sit-ups.
    8/2 62.1kg. Sod off, water retention. Did planks and sit-ups. Kids are with grandparents for a couple of days, so took advantage of peace and quiet to do the yoga video I bought months back. Ate back all exercise calories, up to the tippy top of my MFP deficit, (except for yoga ones, because doing yoga instead of anything else around the house probably reduces my calorie burn for the hour)
    8/3 62kg. Kids still away, so went out for my Cto5k walking session before my shower this morning and did my planks and sit ups. The day is off to a great start! Ate back all exercise calories except post-running stretching, but still within deficit.
    8/4 61.9kg. Thighs are aching still from running nd my intense stretching session yesterday, so it's reasonable to assume that's still water. Beginning to wonder if I should change the batteries in the scale though, because a pair of jeggings that felt tight last week now feel just the right amount of loose. Surely I didn't stretch them when I decided to wear them anyway? Have done planks and sit-ups. Decided to have a day off dieting to taste-test my own culinary experiments, satisfy gnawing pre-menstrual hunger and to assist muscle recovery before next C25K day. WELL over cals!
    8/5 62.4 Fair enough. Did ab exercises. Ate back exercise calories, and a little beyond, but not significantly. Much easier to stay on plan today, after having proper meals the day before.
    8/6 62kg
    8/7
    8/8
    8/9

    You WILL and CAN do this. Keep pushing yourself! You've got it in the bag!

    Round 8--On vacation

    8/1--229.2 Kept up with my liquids yesterday and had a weightlifting session yesterday.
    8/2--229.0 Still making sure I keep myself hydrated.
    8/3--228.1 Had a great weightlifting/workout session yesterday. Not sure if the weight loss will stay for the remainder of this round but it's nice to see a new low weight.
    8/4--228.1 Holding steady.
    8/5--227.9 My goal for this weekend is to make sure that I keep hydrated. I find on the weekend I tend to forget to drink my water which leads to me thinking that I am hungry, when in fact I am just thirsty.
    8/6--227.9 I had a great hike yesterday and then had some great diner food afterwards. I made sure that I stayed hydrated, even continued to drink water after I had come home from the hike. I will continue to make sure I stay hydrated today and eat at my calorie goal.

    8/1 - 130.8 I have worked out since Friday, every day (after my 2 week mandatory time out). Today is my rest day. And I have been mindful about eating. I love seeing these #s on the scale. My goal is within reach!
    8/2 - 130.2 woohoo!!! Ran 4 miles in the hot Florida sun this morning.
    8/3 - 130 things are looking good
    8/4 - 129.8 it's becoming a reality. And it is worth every effort that I am putting forward. My Goal is near!
    8/5 - 131.4 too much grazing and didn't log. Self sabotage! Today back on track. No scale tomorrow because I'm on the road!
    8/6 - no scale! Trying to be mindful. Will have a different scale for the next month or so, beginning tomorrow. Looking for good things to happen while I am in the mountains and away from the heat in Florida.

    Lowest weight: 137 (April 2017)
    Weight at end of Round 11: 143.4 (7-31-17)
    Goal weight: 135
    Goal this round: 141

    8/1 143.3 Exercised and stayed under calorie goal yesterday. Beach day today. Need to plan ahead for dinner out.
    8/2 143.3 2.5 hour walk on beach: stayed under calories if "walking brisk" exercise calories used calculation was accurate for my walk on uneven, soft sand at Crystal Cove State Beach. For anyone in Southern California, this was a fantastic, beautiful walk!
    8/3 143.7 Exercised (elliptical) and stayed under calorie goal. Realized I forgot to add a Starbucks drink on 8/1, so really was over calories on 8/1. Ready for this weight to start dropping! It has been TOM, so hopefully in a day or two.
    8/4 144 Exercised and stayed under calorie goal. Had to estimate lunch calories when I shared a pad thai entree with a coworker. Did not drink enough water during the day (a problem I have when working).
    8/5 143.2 Exercised and stayed under calorie goal.
    8/6 143.3 Exercised and stayed under calories again. Shouldn't this number be moving down by now? MFP gives me 1200 calories. My elliptical says I am burning 500 calories, but I only count 350, and never eat back more than that. Yesterday's sodium was high (Panda Express string bean chicken bowl with side of vegetables).

    R12 SW - 182.3

    GW for R12 - 176 (I know that is a lot but I'm hoping most of it is vacation water weight.)
    Final GW - 165

    8/1 - 181.4 Starting in the right direction!
    8/2 - 179.6 I'm happy with that! I brought a cold home from Florida as a souvenir and I'm never good at eating healthy when I'm sick. So I compromised and paid attention to how much food I consumed yesterday, but I didn't log.
    8/3 - 178.5 Happy to be going in the right direction, but I am expecting tomorrow to slow down since I the rest of those vacation pounds are probably legit. Guess it's back to the reality of tracking!
    8/4 - 178.9 There's that reality. I went a little off track last night and ate french fries and ice cream. I'm about to head out for a run, so hopefully, tomorrow will be better.
    8/5 - 178.4 Went for a run and kayaked yesterday. Unfortunately, I also had dinner and drinks with friends. I plan to hydrate like crazy and possibly run again today. I'm going to a concert tonight, so I am trying to plan ahead to combat those beer and snack temptations.
    8/6 - 179.5 - Definitely paying for my food and beverage choices of the last too nights. I am hoping to will get my act together for the second half of this round.

    8/3 - 139.0
    8/4 - 139.2 Too many dirty martinis
    8/5 - 139.0 Wasn't expecting a drop since I was over calories and had a few drinks. I'll take it!

    My R4 - Back for more self flagellation!

    R9 SW 197.8
    R10 SW 198.9
    R11 SW 196.7
    R12 SW 196.9

    Goal for R11 R12 = under 195.0

    Day / Weight / Comments

    8/1 - 195.5 I hot a new low the other day and then I went up and now I am working it back down again. My weight log is full of relatively big up-down-up-down swings so this is part of the pattern. I LIKE the down part of the pattern.
    8/2 - 195.8
    8/3 - 195.5 Had bad lunch yesterday. Literally. The meal had been buried in the freezer and was not successfully microwaved back to sustenance. I ended up eating a Big Mac and fries and I don't regret a minute of it. Healthy dinner, lots of water, day one week 5 c25k, 200 stairs up, and we stay on track.
    8/4 - 195.3 Ate calories + some exercise calories. I'm not a low carber, but I really went overboard on white bread. It was a frustrating day and bread and butter is a comfort food. (DD got in a fender bender.) Got a good walk in; it was a dancing walk as I needed another 30 minutes of dancing for a challenge. Definitely done after dark - do not want to scare small children. Got my third 200 steps count needed for another challenge. Need more sleep.
    8/5 - 194.7 My effort seems to be paying off this round. I need to keep it going thru the weekend. Last night C25K W5 D2. Need more vegetables, but not eating badly.

    8/6 - 194.7 Donated a pint of blood. Good way to start the weekend. DH and I were out back-to-school shopping for him; it is worse than letting a toddler pick his own outfit.
    "I think the pockets stick out. "
    "The waist gathers when I put my belt tight"(er then I ever do in real life.)
    "My butt doesn't look right."
    "I don't like the way the back of the left leg hits my shoe."
    By 4:30 we had managed to find four pairs of pants and I was starving. Olive Garden is running a buy a dinner take a dinner home special so we stopped for some food. Ate lots, but not to excess. I only ate half my pasta and had lots of salad. Added it all up when I went home; It was do-able. Of course there was no late dinner after that.
