Day: Weight: Comments
8/1: 316.0 : Lost the .4 overnight, so happy. Hope it stays gone lol
8/2: 315.4 : Getting there. Good after ate a lot of naughty things yesterday.
8/3: 315.4 : Stayed same. Happy.
8/4: 315.2 : Gone down .2 overnight. Keep heading that way.
8/5: 315.4 : Still good. Not been too active.
8/6: 315.4 : Not lost but also not gained. Will see what says tomorrow for write in weigh.

1/8 204
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
6/8 204.8- hopefully this will be the start of the scale going the right way

R8 SW 354.2
R9 SW 353.8
R10 SW 358.0
R11 SW 354.4
R12 SW 354.0

My 10 day goal is to get to 349 lbs, stay within my daily calories goal and meet or exceed my daily water goal.

8/01 354.0 up from yesterday after burgers and fries with friends, but did a late night workout and met water goal
8/02 351.4 I'm back to where I was at the end of R12. I took a brisk walk, met my water goal and instead of staying up to snack, I went to bed early. Pretty good day.
8/03 350.8 I joined a squats and abs challenge and did some walking. I'm also working on improving flexibility. Drinking water was a struggle, went over cals.
8/04 348.4 Eating was ok, still need to drink more water
8/05 349.2 drank lots of water, but over cals, woke up tired and sore this morning
8/06 350.2 family gathering yesterday, can't let the weight creep back up

R9 SW: 197
R10 SW: 195.2
R11 SW: 195

7/31: 193.2
R12 GW: 190 and to keep my focus on off/weekend days
UGW: 130

8/1: 192.2 which is 10lbs lost since my first round!! It's my off day, so (even before I weighed in) I decided to do a mini fast for the day. No meat, no grain. Just veggies/fruit and liquid. I've been feeling heavy, even though I'm losing weight, so hopefully this will help.

8/2: 191.4 yay my plan worked. I feel better/lighter and the scale backed me up lol but its back to my regular routine at work today. Hoping to sustain this progress although I predict a spike tomorrow.

8/3: 191.2 still doing well. Did 14,000+ steps yesterday, and stayed within 1500 bmr calorie limit.

8/4: 188.2 weighed my self three times, sat down for a half hour and weighed again, because I just couldn't believe what I was reading. It made me think about before I started these 10 day challenges. Even though I hated what I saw, I never doubted that I was 200+ lbs, but I can't wrap my head around the numbers going down sometimes. I need to think about why and ways to adjust my reactions. I should rejoice in my hard work paying off, not feel nervous about the results.

8/5: 190.2 that's alright. I did 12, 739 steps yesterday, but I ate at odd times and really didn't get a chance to hydrate. Also, got home so late and I'm super tired today but I still have a full day of work ahead of me.

8/6: 191.1 I wasn't home, but I used my sister's scale
8/7
8/8

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: lowest, 164; highest, 166.8; mean, 165.5 (-2.6 this round). 31/07/2017: 164.2. I'm happy with that. -2.8lbs between highest and lowest in Round 11, and all my stats are reducing.

Round 12: (Round 5 for me. Female/aged 71, weight in lbs)
SW: 227; Lowest weight 22/6/2017: 162; Final goal weight: 147
1/8/2017: 163.4. Another mini Whoosh! That's a good start. Expecting a little rebound bounce tomorrow. Today's Goals: pre-log/follow through; balance macros/micros; hydrate; 25+ strength ✅; 20+ flex ✅; 6,000+ steps ✅; close kitchen at 8pm! ✅
2/8/2017: 163.4. WOW! No bounce! Internet out today so posting late.
Today's Goals: All met! pre-log/follow through; balance macros/micros; hydrate; 25+ strength ✅; 20+ flex ✅; 6,000+ steps ✅; close kitchen at 8pm! ✅
3/8/2017: 163.2 I seem to be back on track. Almost back to my weight before holiday at end of June, and a number of family celebrations.
Today's Goals: pre-log/follow through; balance macros/micros; hydrate; 15+ strength ✅; 15+ flex ✅; 6,000+ steps; close kitchen at 8pm!
4/8/2017: 163. (((Happy Dance))) holding steady.
Today's Goals: pre-log/follow through; balance macros/micros; hydrate; 20+ strength ✅; 35+ flex ✅; 6,000+ steps; close kitchen at 8pm!
5/8/2017: 164.6. Hm! Cause and effect! Under calories but too much feta (high in sodium) with my ratatouille, and didn't hydrate enough.
Today's Goals: pre-log/follow through; balance macros/micros; hydrate; 20+ strength; 15+ flex; 6,000+ steps; close kitchen at 8pm!
6/8/2017: 161.8. Now that is a Whoosh! I had to get back on the scales to confirm it. Goals met yesterday and well hydrated.
Today's Goals: pre-log/follow through; balance macros/micros; hydrate; 20+ strength ✅; 15+ flex ✅; 6,000+ steps; close kitchen at 8pm!

7/8/2017: 161.8 I expected a rebound bounce here. Lol! Yesterday's goals met. Following through on my pre-logged food, and staying under goal, not eating after 8pm, and late breakfast seem to be working so far.
Today's Goals: pre-log/follow through; balance macros/micros; hydrate; 15/25+ strength ✅; 15+ flex; 6,000+ steps; close kitchen at 8pm!

1/8 - 185.8 (A little drop from yesterday, despite some questionable biscuit choices yesterday. Woop! I've also joined the gym again.)
2/8 - 185.2 (Total fluke - I ate terribly yesterday, including ALL of the wine. Oops. I did hit my 12,000 step target though.)
3/8 - 185.6 (No surprise here - yesterday involved a lot of carbs. Today will be better. I plan to drink more water.)
4/8 - 185.2 (Yesterday was better - I smashed my step goal, went to Bodypump, and didn't eat total rubbish. I'm doing my cowboy swagger this morning - muscles! Today I'm hoping to do 14,500 steps)
5/8 - 186.2 (Ate horribly yesterday, and didn't quite hit my step goal, let along 14,500. Feeling a bit ill today after an upset stomach last night. Blargh!)

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

I know, I know!


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 Ate back exercise calories, but no further, and even did stuff with cooking chocolate without nibbling it! Did Cto5k session. Really enjoying the Zombies Run app, especially with last night's update. It now tells me how many calories I've burned using the GPS directly, instead of me having to use the MFP database post-session to generate the same figures.
8/7 61.8kg. Finally moving in the right direction!

SW: 185.5

Round 8 SW: 185.5
Round 9 SW: 182.5
Round 10 SW: 181.5
Round 11 SW: 181.0
Round 12 SW: 179.0

I'm really hoping to get to 175.5 or lower. It's a lofty goal but it's back to school night at my older kids school on the 10th, and I haven't seen a lot of those people since the end of May. If I hit 175 it will be a 10lb loss. Wish I had started MFP the end of May instead of last week of June. Oh well.

Goal weight: 175.5
Ultimate goal weight: 128

8/1 179.5
8/2 179.5 A new # my body loves. Sigh.
8/3 181.0 TOM and had pizza, brownies and Caesar salad last night!! So bloated!
8/4 182.5 Grrr...TOM plus binge eating. So disappointed in myself. :-(
8/5 180.5
8/6 179.5
8/7 179.0 Back to where I started. Obviously I'm not going to meet my goal this round. Maybe next time.

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.

8/7 145.6 Ate lunch out, salad and chicken, had 2 adult beverages. No regrets. Ate healthy, enjoyed the drinks, spent time with a friend. Lovely day. New week, new effort. Mwuah!

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.

8/7 - 194.9 just got to keep it in the 194s

8/4: 246.6 (although I ate terrible yesterday, I managed to get in some high intensity cardio which included suicides, knee jumps (or jumping in place), elliptical, and jjs)
8/5: 248.2 (This has been the worst couple of days...can't seem to get back on track. Welp all I can do is try again tomorrow.)
8/6: 248.8 (ugh I had pizza)
8/7: 246.6 (i had homemade tacos and homemade whole wheat chocolate chip muffins...i guess that shows the difference between homecooking vs eating out.)
