SW: 187.2 (85.2kg)
8/1 - 187.2 (85.2kg) - Finishing that Ben and Jerry's on top of a big dinner was rather unnecessary
8/2 - 83.7 kg - Whoop, whoop so excited, a day of good eating and exercise
8/3 - 83.9 kg - Happy with that. Didn't expect a further drop from yesterday. Onwards and upwards, well downwards
8/4 - 83.7 kg - Yay.
8/5 - 83.9 kg - Ah well, was well over my calorie goal.
8/6 - 83.8 kg - Realistically: This is great. Had a real drop of weight at the beginning and it's still gone. Had a great Saturday without randomly snacking. Soo wohooooo! Emotionally: Grrrhmmmpfffffff!!

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
8/07 350.2 That was a rough weekend, but I'm back on track and hoping to finish the round more focused.

First Goal: 170 ✔️
Next Goal: 159 ... At a slow rate
End of R9: 170.2
End of R10 165.1
End of R11 168.1
8/1 - 168.7 .... Crap
8/2 - 168.2 .... Yay!! If I can hold under 169.9 I'll be very happy.
8/3 - 166.6 Well that's not too bad, but it's only Thursday!!
8/4 - 167.6 **
8/5 - 168.7 **
8/6 - 166.3 ** These are weigh-ins on different scales at different times in the day
8/7 - 164.4 Not my usual time but by this it looks like I faired well at the music festival.. It was so hot and the dancing burn off a few cals too and over steps in the 1000's. Let's see what happens these next few days. Tomorrow will be my first normal day ... haha 'normal'

Wow! Great work! Keep dancing!3 -
8/1 174 Went run/walking with my dog this morning. I used to run a lot more but am currently recovering from a bad case of plantar fasciitis. I am doing the couch to 10K app and I am on week 4. Small victories!
8/2 174.8
8/3 174.8 First day of TOM today. I could feel it!
8/4 175.9 Wowza. Pretty sure the number is supposed to go down. Did have a heavy lunch yesterday, a stressful evening, and am retaining water like crazy. Today I am focusing on water, water, water.
8/5 175.9 I dreaded the scale this morning as I did a lot of grazing yesterday and drank wine at night (a couple of glasses). So I am glad it did not creep up again! I really want to see the scale go down in this second half. Went to the Y this morning and ran on the treadmill. Think I will start tracking again on MFP.
8/6 174.3 Yesterday was very productive. Spent most of the day cleaning out our shed, so was distracted. Drank lots of water, did not partake in alcohol, and tracked my food. First OP day I have had in a while. One day at a time.
8/7 172.3 Way less bloated today. Drank a ton of water yesterday and stayed in my calories. Again, tracked. Tracking (and the fact that I am weighing in every day) gave me some incentive yesterday. I ran on the treadmill for 30 mins. and did some stretching, too. More stretching tonight and a break from running.

3/8 - 234.0 (heading out for a walk now)
4/8 - 232.0 (- did a 7.5km walk yesterday morning. Tracked all foods. Even prepped veggies for salad and dip an made a quinoa/egg breakfast dish for the week! This is my lowest weight so far since being pregnant so hopefully it me to be smart tonight and tomorrow at the dodgeball tournament.)
5/8 - 231.2 - lowest yet!
6/8 - 233.2 - had a dodgeball tournament yesterday and although i did fairly well eating i had quite a few drinks. Im hopeful it will go back down tomorrow!
7/8 - 236.4 - went up more.. i didn't eat properly yesterday as i was recuperating from the day before.. not an excuse. But i have stayed on track today and just joined the Biggest Loser Challenge and plan on going for a walk with my husband and baby tonight after dinner!

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
7/8 205.6 - need to really focus on these last few days6 -

7/31 205lbs. Desperately want to get out of the 200's.
8/1 203lbs. Feeling a little better to finally drop a couple. Its been a loooooong time since the number went
down.
8/2 203.6 Ugh.... I don't know what to say.
8/3 203.6
8/4 204.6 So frustrated as usual. I have cut down so much on the garbage I use to eat and NO POP which is silly but I love it. Nothing for a week and up goes the scale.
8/5 202.4 lbs. Getting closer to the 100's. Hoping I can fight through the weekend without backsliding. Wedding showers and family dinners do me a number. Would love love love to see progress over the weekend not the opposite.
8/6 missed weighing in
8/7 200.4lbs. SOooo close to getting under dreaded 200. Please please I hope soon.12 -
R7 SW: 202.2
R8 SW:199.8
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: 189.4 didn't do well with my food intake, but logged 12,125 steps yesterday.

@quiltingjaine Way to go! I'm hoping to follow you soon.
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!
8/8/2017: 162.4 Normal daily fluctuation, a little bounce after a Whoosh. Tracking gives a clearer picture of trends. Goals met yesterday.
Today's Goals: pre-log/follow through; balance macros/micros; hydrate; 20+ strength ✅; 15+ flex; 6,000+ steps; close kitchen at 8pm!

Starting weight: 187.4lb (24th July)
Current weight: 185.8lb (1st August)
Goal weight: 160lb
Goal this round: 184.something
This is my first round :-)
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!)
6/8 - 186.2
7/8 - 187.0 (Yikes! Stupid weekend)
8/8 - 184.8 (Wheeeeeeeeeee!! Hit my target for this challenge. Yesterday was a really weird food day - eating leftovers from the weekend - but I got my steps in and drank loads of water. Today I have a Body Pump class, and will aim for some manner of sensible food consumption.)

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! Very active day, but only ate back 1/2 to 2/3s of exercise calories. Did vigorous ab work-out at class.
8/8 61.9 Still in the 61.# zone! Not surprised by the slight rise as my mid-section is still burning this morning. I swear I can see the water bloat in the mirror (bloody hormones) this week.

08/06-- 245.6 OK really bad evening but going out to eat italien food was not a great decision....so 4 more days to get back on track before then end. I still have time to reach my goal
08/07-- 244.4 ok well I got less than 3 hours of sleep so that wasn't great
08/08-- 242.4 ah a good night of sleep helped

I'm in again! I'm a teacher, so the busy time has started. Meetings, meetings, meetings this week, and trying to get my classroom set up. Finding a balance between work, home, and exercise is going to be a struggle.
Round 12: 185.4
GW: 184.4
UW: 125
08/01: 185.4 Meetings for an all day Math Summit. I didn't get any exercise in, but I did stay on my diet and water consumption.
08/02: 184.8 Skipped a few meals because I was working hard to get a good start on setting up my classroom. I put in a lot of steps too and stayed on my water consumption. I also made up my calories at dinner.
08/03: 185: I skipped multiple meals yesterday due to working on my classroom again. I have almost all of it done and am excited about that! Just a few more tweaks and paperwork. I almost got all of my steps put in as well.
08/04: 185.6: I stayed within my calories ONLY due to the 4 miles of biking I did and the 2 and something miles of walking. It's the first time I ate well over 1200 calories. I'm a yo-yo this round!
08/05: 185.4: I was on my feet and moving all day yesterday. I reached my goal for steps and then some. I stayed within my calories and ate healthy even though I wasn't home. I also drank a ton of water. So now, I'm back to starting weight. Lol
08/06: 184.8: These numbers look all too familiar this week. I went on a 4.5 mile bike ride yesterday. Stuck to my calories and my water.
08/07: 183.4: This is my lowest number yet and a new one this round. I know I've lost a LOT of water since Friday. I also biked 5 miles. Stayed within my calories and ate well. Drank 48 oz of water.
08/08: 182.8: I didn't get to exercise because I worked a 13 hour day. It was back to school night. However, I did get my goal for steps put in. I ate lighter because I was working, but I ate healthy and every 3 hours to keep my metabolism up. I walked away from offers of pizza, cookies, and candy from the principal.I drank 48 oz of water too.
