JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 12

CaliMomTeach · August 2017

Starting weight: 193 (July 2016)
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).
8/7 142.5 Finally, 142.something. Had birthday cake yesterday. 10 extra minutes on the elliptical to stay under calorie goal. Today is my first official day back to work (teacher).

Thank you! I speak hippy-dippy so appreciate you sharing that thought.

Round 12 (R4 for me)

Original start weight 155

R8 SW 140.8
R9 missed
R10 SW 138.6
R11 SW 134.6

Current weight 133.6
Goal weight for R12 131.6

Ultimate goal weight 128

8/1 133.4 Well a teeny tiny loss, but a loss none the less. I was way over on my fat yesterday, which I don’t typically do and didn’t get in my evening walk, so that may be to blame. Only day 1 though, 9 more to go!

8/2 133.6 Blah, stupid .2 Good day yesterday, so I guess just normal fluctuations? I keep bouncing around in the 133’s, I’d like to see 132 sometime soon!

8/3 133.6 Another good day yesterday with no change.. getting frustrated.
.
8/4 133.4 Ugh. Gain .2 lose .2 over and over. This week has been tough for some reason, I’m not sure what the explanation for no loss is.. this weekend we have a wedding, so I’m going to just enjoy myself and start over Monday. Maybe I need a break from it all for a day or two.

8/5 133.4 I can’t escape these 133’s….

8/6 132.4 I know this is just a fluke. Went to a wedding last night, lots of vodka & dancing.

8/7 133.2 Yep, back to the usual. Ugh. But I expected it, crappy day eating, no exercise & very little water. I really hope in these last 3 days I can break out of 133’s for good!

R10 AW: 132.4
R11 AW: 133.7
Goal for this round: 133.0

8/1: 132.6
YAY! I am feeling the drop from 134.8. Hoping that most of that weight I gained from vacation was just water weight. I did a nice HIIT workout yesterday and am slowly coming in closer to a calorie deficit.
8/2: 132.2
Back to my original low weight before all this vacation madness last weekend. Only a few lbs to go until I reach my goal weight!
8/3: 131.4
WAAAT?! This is the lowest I've been since joining MFP. I'm diggin it!
8/4: 132.2
No surprise, really. Stayed within my calorie limit but I am, once again, constipated.
8/5: 132.2
8/6 132.8
Ate a 4 course plus dessert meal at some obscure French restaurant. I will totally accept this because every single 5 star ounce was worth it. No regrets.
8/7: 134.4
Yep. I knew it would happen. This is the result of not enough water and a night at a bar watching soccer. Meh. Hoping this is just water weight that I can drop before the end of the round. Otherwise, hoping I have a lower AW than last round (closer to, or less than Round 10 would be nice). As of today my AW for this round is 132.5.

End of Round 11: 162.2

8/2: 162.2
8/3: 162.4
8/4: 162.6
8/5: 162.2 - I am so ready to drop below this number. It seems my weight is just fluctuating within the same .4 lbs.

HeidiCooksSupper · August 2017

Cyranda, this is just so perfect. 10 days. More than a week but not so long as two, or a month, or now-until-Christmas as so many other challenges are. Just the right length of time. And how we dutifully have come to read each other's daily struggles! Such an important sense of community! I'm in for the duration!
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
Round 11/4: HW 267.4 LW 264.2 MidW = 265.8
My goal this round is to go without Chinese take-out for 10 straight days since it really only is a lazy, I-don't-want-to-cook-tonight response and it represents a day without counting. And to exercise at least twice.
8/1 264.8 -- Starting out this challenge with something approaching the low weight of round 11. Let's go down from here!
8/2 264.2 -- Excellent. Paying attention pays off. CICO rocks!
8/3 264.4 -- Fine. I will not be discouraged by some uppity scale. I will eat TDEE-500 and no more. The weight will go down. The goal is to do limited but satisfying eating. The scale will follow.
8/4 263.2 -- Patience and keeping to calorie limits pays off yet again! Even if I don't see quite this low for the rest of the challenge, this is the first time seeing 263 and I'm a happy camper! Now, if I'm going to exercise twice this challenge I should try to get one in soon. Today?
8/5 264.6 -- some of that is water but some of it is due to falling into an old behavior last night -- the dreaded LATE NIGHT SNACKING. Old habits die hard. I probably undid a couple days of calorie deficits. Sigh. Extra self-discipline required to go back into TDEE-500 today!
8/6 263.2 -- back to where I was day before yesterday. YAY! Still haven't done the exercising! Must do today!!

8/7 262.8 -- A new low number for the LW. I need to totally stop eating after supper. This means more afternoon snacking after supper is planned. If I don't start to eat in the evening I am less likely to keep eating until bedtime. No more saving calories for late night snacks because I have trouble stopping at night.

Weird wifi this morning...double posted...deleting this one.

tishawj · August 2017

Hi All! I'm in yet again! 10 day chunks is perfect and I've been weighing daily since March...things bounce around a bit but it easy do see an overall downward trend when I have lots of data.

SW in March - 182.4
GW -150-I want to get here and then maintain for a bit while I reassess where I want to be weight vs fitness wise

I was down to 152.5 last round and then had some water gains with a splurge day and expecting TOM so finished at 155.5. I'm at my Parents place in cottage country for the majority of this round and don't have complete control over the menu. I just want to maintain as best as possible and hopefully finish around 153.

8/1 155.1 - feeling pretty water puffy again. Waiting for TOM but ate really well yesterday.
8/2 154.4 - 17000+ steps yesterday including a run with the dog AND I went roller skating with the boys which I would never have done 28 lbs ago!!!
8/3 154.0 - slowly chipping away at my water bloat from the weekend...very slowly since my calorie deficit hasn't been extreme with being at my parent's place and a few cocktails on the dock with my cousin.
8/4 156.4 - Pizza with ham and salty feta for dinner last night...and TOM finally arrived (peri-menopause messin with my cycle again)...my rings are tight, I feel super bloated.
8/5 -157.5-had a hungry day yesterday and the TOM cravings didn't help
8/6 -157.5 - need to start turning this back around. Vacay is over tomorrow and I will take back control over my meal planning

8/7 - 158.3 - My train has officially de-railed LOL. I'm pretty sure only about 2 lbs of what I'm up this week are actual weight gain and the rest is retention from TOM, too much wine/cocktails, salty/carby food choices and not enough water while on vacation (although some of that also lead to the gains). Heading home to my own scale and kitchen this afternoon and will be leaving the kids at my parent's while I work a heavy freelance week. I'm going to stop at the grocery store on my way and pick up everything I need to get back on the tracks, heading in the right direction...there's no reason other than my brain ignoring my plan to not reach my goal weight by mid September.

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
Round 11--SW 230.3 EW 229.7 Weight loss/gain -0.6
Round 12 SW 229.7

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.
8/7--229.4 This is why I love weighing myself everyday. It's just amazing to see how my body reacts to things. Yesterday I had a great massage, today my muscles are sore from the massage, and the muscle soreness results in water retention. I am continuing to stay hydrated and will just wait for the water weight to go.

I'm in! Round 11 was my first round and it helped me A LOT. Knowing I was going to record my weight every day kept me on track and accountable.

SW: 210
CW: 189.4
R11 SW: 193
R12 GW: 187
UGW: 150

Day/Weight/Comment
8/1 189.4
8/2 190 Lots of exercise yesterday but I didn't drink enough water. I feel lighter but the scale says otherwise!
8/3 189.6
8/4 190 I ate more than usual yesterday but I'm hoping it revved my metabolism a bit and will see loss tomorrow!
8/5 189.2 I guess it worked a little. I would love to see 188. I don't exercise so I need to add that in eventually.

8/6 188.2 - Yay!!!!! I was pretty shocked when I got on the scale this morning. I changed it up yesterday and ate a lot more complex carbs. I usually try to stay below 111 but I ate almost 200 yesterday. I ended up eating less calories but still felt like I ate A LOT! I probably drank a gallon or more of water too. I think I'll do some higher carb days mixed in with my moderate carb days and see how that goes!
8/7 188.8 I ate the same as yesterday but didn't have enough water.

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.
8/7 -132.5 not what I want to see. But a different house with a different scale. And this will be me for the next month. So I will go with the flow and hope to push the numbers down on this scale too! Hopefully, now that I am settled in with no traveling in site, I can get back to a normal routine of mindful eating and working out. Happy Monday!
