Goal for this round: 195 or less.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/1 - 196.6
8/2 - 196.4 I feel like I'm going to hang around 196 for a while

8/3 - 196.6 yup
8/4 - 195.6 drank loads of water went to bed 4 pounds heavier than this and peed it all out, lol, I'm tired now!
8/5 - 196 - 2 glasses of wine and I kept dipping my hand into a bucket of cheeseballs. Alcohol loves salty snacks. Overall a good day and still maintained most of my deficit although I had to weigh the leftover cheeseballs to accurately record their salty deliciousness! Poor little Orange delicacies are now in my snack prison, in the workshop in the tool cupboard, 100 feet away from the house so I have to make a conscious decision to go get em.
8/6 - 196 this is getting to be a habit. Lol
8/7 - 196 hmmmm
8/8 - 194.8 My body finally decided to forgive me for cheeseballgate. I think!

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!

8/8 145.6 Did the gym and a aqua fitness class. Well, some of this weight must be muscle, right? One of these days I break through. It's been almost 3 weeks yoyoing at these few pounds. I will persist! Today I'm watching grandson so it's elliptical in family room.

R11: 200 – 203
R12: 200.8
5’6”
Short term Goal weight: 195
Ultimate Goal weight: 155
R12 GW: 198

Day/Weight/Comment
8/1: 200.8 – recovering from girls weekend nicely
8/2: 199.8 – Staying within by calorie budget, walking. I had 1 mini cupcake yesterday and it was fantastic. With tracking and logging you can have your cake and eat it too! Just not the whole cake. 
8/3: 198.8 – so pumped! Yay me!
8/4: 198 – Happy, but feel tired and hungry. And again annoyed that progress is so slow. I know this is the right way to do it. But dang. My goal for tomorrow was 195. I got pretty close. I had a girls weekend in there that set me back a bit, so I’m pretty content with this result. Tomorrow is a wedding and I can’t wait to eat the delicious food and drink the delicious drink. I’ve been attempting to make healthier meals and they just aren’t very satisfying. But I’ll keep figuring it out.
8/5: 197.2 – This makes me happy! I was getting a little tired of it all yesterday. Ate Arby’s for lunch and Red Baron for dinner. Went for an hour long walk, stayed within my cals. Felt satiated.
8/6: 196.6 – Happy to be making progress consistently. I want to get into the 180’s so friggin bad. It’s been a long time!
8/7: 196.4 – Lazy day yesterday. Stayed as close as I could to calorie goals. Didn’t do too bad.
8/8: 195.6 – Didn’t bring a lunch to work yesterday and was too lazy to go pick something up, almost died. Not making that mistake again. But hey .6 pounds to my short term goal. 

missm2 · August 2017

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 days
8/8 205 - went swimming yesterday ..now to keep the exercise and water intake up

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.

8/8
8/9
8/10

Yep, eating late gives us no time to burn the calories up. The trainer I worked with told me to stop eating at least 3-4 hours before bedtime. So maybe all those people eating 'the early bird special' are on to something. LOL

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.

You can see it on the horizon. Keep paddling.

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!
8/8 - 131.8 creeping down. Hopefully, will continue to go in that direction. Ran 4.5 miles yesterday. Plan on going to the gym later this morning. And always try to practice mindful eating.

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.

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.
8/8 188 - Lots of 8s today! Lol! Funny thing it's my niece's birthday today and she was an "8" baby. Born on 8/8/08 at 3:11 (11-3 is 8!). She was 8lbs 8oz and 20.8 in. And my sister was staying in room 2222. It was crazy so 188 seems appropriate on 8/8. Lol! Have a great day everyone!
