Double check and weigh your food.. just incase. As for the water, I bought a soda stream, I love the way the bubbly water dances in my mouth, it has increased my water consumption exponentially! Don't get disheartened all things will come to pass.
Also, move your scale to a bare level floor. Some thoughts.. I'm with you girl!

@cyranda63, TY and that's deffos something to bear in mind -- I will certainly double check any foods if it keeps going up, but I think the real cause is a tummy bug, because I am eating lower than normal as well. I'm chugging down water again I weigh on the same square of tile every day. so unless its the battery in the scales (which it doesn't seem likely, the scale usually jumps all over the place if the battery needs replacing) its more than likely just water retention .. so frustrating!

SW - 260lbs
R12 - start 242.2 .... finish.. 231.0
- total lost 11.2lbs ( although i had been down to
233 earlier that week... so more like 2lbs)
Goal - get to 227lbs.
Start weight 230.2

8/11 - 230.2 - hard day as i was out of the house doing errands this morning and had a salad from subway and snuck in 2 cookies. Then I had to bring my son to emerge and ended up get a cheese bagel with butter and Greek pasta salad. Then for dinner I was so exhausted I made a premade chicken rice teriyaki frozen bag for dinner and a piece or pork chop. I think i drank 1 bottle of water so I anticipate a jump tomorrow due to salt intake. Tomorrow is a new day!
8/12 - 230.6 - I'm relieved it only went up this much! Back on track today. I'm planning on getting in at least an hour walk. Track all my food today. And drink drink drink to flush out any extra salt.
8/13 - 230.4 - not my lowest yet but close. Had such a great day today. Ate well. Tracked everything. Went on a 8.5km walk with a friend and logged 11700 steps! I'm looking forward to what the scale has to say about this tomorrow.
8/14 - 230.6 - I'm not letting myself get frustrated by staying the same because i know i am pushing my self in staying track in eating and exercise (it is also that time of month!). Today I walked to and from the gym - 5km - and did 30min cardio and 20 min arm weights. Feeling so great!
8/15 - 231.0 - still trying not to get discouraged although I did so well yesterday. Perhaps it's because I'm building muscle or TOM. I will work on getting more water in to help with any bloating. I am alsp at the gym again today so happy about going two days in a row. Hopefully all this work will show by the end of the week!
8/16 - 230.8 - I've gone to the gym 3 days in a row! Mood and energy increasing. Although the scale isn't showing it, I will count this as a win for this week!

SW 3/9/17: 256 lbs
UGW: 140 lbs
R13 GW: 217

8/11: 219 - I weighed a little less yesterday but not much. I was under my calories, rode my stationary bike, and took a walk so I'm guessing just water. I have to remember to drink more. I have been craving doughnuts all morning because I've been watching Twin Peaks.

8/12: 217.8 - This was surprising as I didn't work out and I overate because I had to have some Arby's and a shake! I was smart though, no mayo and removed a slice of bread and split the small shake so it wasn't too awful. Had blueberry french toast this morning and feel no guilt.

8/13: 219.6 - This was expected as I over ate and then had a free double chocolate muffin from my sister's work. I'm hoping for a better day today. Weekends are hard but I'll make it through. I hope everyone else is doing better than me.

8/14: 221 - Did squats yesterday and I'm sore and also retaining water. I hope the scale moves in the right direction tomorrow.

8/15: 220.6 - Better than yesterday I guess. I had spaghetti and a Dove Ice cream bar for dinner and it was delicious. Got my 30 minutes of exercise in but my son is teething really bad so looks like I get to deal with a clingy 1 year old all day.

8/16: 220 - This water retention is killing me! I guess it could be worse, but it's still disheartening. I just need to keep it up and wait for the inevitable whoosh! It's always exciting to see all your hard work pay off in a matter of days lol! Good luck everyone

1st round for me! Currently doing 5:2

R13 SW - 71.2kg (157 lbs)
R13 GW - 70kg something (154.3 - 156.3)

8/11 - 71.2kg (157)
8/12 - 73kg (160.9) - out for dinner last night and had pizza calzone so expected that
8/13 - 73.2kg (161.4) - no, all is good, another huge dinner and dessert out. On my 500 cal days now so will expect this number to go back down. Not stressing just yet
8/14 - 72.2kg (159.2) - on my last 500 calorie day for the week so hoping this comes down a lot more tomorrow
8/15 - 70.9kg (156.3) - woohoo! Onto normal calories for the remainder of the week now so hoping this number continues down. Going to try to eat at normal deficit to still account for the big meals out and wine on the weekend
8/16 - 70.7kg (155.9) - surprised after the wine and late night munchies. This will go up no doubt
8/17 - 71.1kg (156.8) - sigh....I can’t see this going down before Sunday morning. Not when the last 2 days are my biggest calorie days of the week

This is my first time joining this challenge, but I JUST got back on MFP the 14th so I'll start with that. In the beginning my losses will likely be water weight coming off from bday parties and vacation...but I'll take any loss!

The hubs surprised me with a gym membership this past weekend so I am hoping that's a major help keeping me motivated :-)

I'm having another go, too! This is my 2nd round.

Goal weight: 61kg

R12 SW- 61.2 Final Weight- 61.8 Mean Average Weight- 61.8

8/11 62.1 Fair enough. I had a lovely treat day yesterday, full of sugar, spice and all things nice, and salt led the assault. It was worth it!
8/12 63.3kg. Midnight snacking, that is. Ah well. Had a fantastic couch to 5k session yesterday.Onwards and downwards!
8/13 62.9kg Lovely sunny day. Planning to knock all the treats this week on the head from... now.

Worked out how to do my first ever backwards roll yesterday, when I was doing yoga stretches, and felt really athletic. Need to post that in the NSV thread!


8/14 62.5 Hope the rest of it is water, too! Exciting day today- planning to buy some actual running shoes this week, and I might manage to fit it in today.
8/15 62.1kg Had great day yesterday, with no nibbling. Ate back exercise calories, but maintained MFP deficit.
8/16 62kg Exactly on point with calories and nutrition yesterday, and had a great day out with the kids. Went shopping, including to the shop they've been saving their pocket money for, went to opticians to order replacement frames for latest pair of broken glasses, and dropped in at a playground which incorporates outdoor gym equipment for the older kids/adults. I mucked around with a seated device that is rigged so you pull down your bodyweight with your arms, which hoists your seated self in the air. Lots of fun for me there, especially as I happened to be wearing the coolest, shortest-sleeved t-shirt I own, which provides visible evidence I have some muscle tissue there!

8/17 62kg Had a lovely active day yesterday. Only went over my exercise calories by 4 calories, which, as far as I'm concerned, doesn't count.

Have a great day everyone!

I'm in again. I am so, so very happy to start round 13 too! I did it peeps. As of this morning, I have hit my 20lb mark! I've lost all the weight my doctor told me to lose. However, I know it's still not my ideal weight by any means, so I'm going to keep pushing on.

CW: 182 lbs
GW: 180 lbs
UGW: 125 lbs

08/11: 182...Woo hoo!!!! I'm doing a happy dance!

08/12: 180.8...completely shocked by this #. It's such a big drop all at once, so I'm expecting it will more than likely go up tomorrow. I put in a lot of steps between housework and grocery shopping.

08/13: 180.4 lbs...still shocked over seeing this number, and it is working on creeping down still. I biked 6 miles yesterday. If I get in the 170s at all, this will be the first time since 2004 that I've seen it. After the birth of my first child, 3 years of depo were not good for me. So, I packed on 80 lbs. Idk what I'll do WHEN I see that number again.

8/14: 180.2 lbs...remaining steady now that I had the big WHOOSH. I had a harder time getting 48 oz. of water in yesterday. I didn't "exercise," but I did imo. I rearranged furniture in two rooms, and I swept my car and cleaned out the interior. I have 5 kids that ride in it, so that was a major undertaking.

8/15: 181 lbs...I was expecting a gain to happen, and it did. In a way, I am bummed because I really want to see that #7. In a way, I'm not because I was anticipating it, and it's still close. I stayed within my calories, drank 48 oz of water, and had a 10-hour work day. I did end up having to eat around 7:30 because of that, and I'm not supposed to eat after 6. I think that could have contributed. On to tomorrow...

8/16: 181.2 lbs...Okay, I'm going to be honest here...that sudden weight loss was unexpected, but I am starting to get bummed by the fact that it's still creeping up. I decreased my calories a bit to get the # back down the last few days, and it hasn't worked. I refuse to go any lower than I have. Maybe soon it'll start creeping down again.
I almost reached my goal for steps yesterday too. Water was once again a struggle for me. I need to step it up.

8/17: 181 lbs...Has anyone ever felt like that they've just run out of energy? They are tired of tracking calories and making all these healthy recipes and just want a big, fat, juicy cheeseburger? I am so there right now. However, I keep eating healthy and ensuring that I get up and move. I am proving to myself that my will power is stronger than I ever knew.
