8/21 269.8 Goals: 25mins cardio; 10k steps; 3.0L water; track all food- all done
8/22 270.6 Goals: Strength Training; 10k steps; 3.0L water; Track all food- all done
Stayed under calories; ate plenty veggies, protein, and fruit- enjoyed each meal and my evening snack.
8/23 270.6 Goals: 25 mins cardio; 10K steps; 3.0L water; Track all food-all done
Barely stayed under calorie but I am always hungrier after cardio. I don’t eat back exercise calories because I don’t know how accurate my Apple Watch is about calculating calories burned.
8/24 269.8 Goals: Strength Training; 10K Steps; 3.0L water, Track all food- all done
Stayed under calorie. It was harder to feel satisfied and found myself fighting the desire to eat due to boredom. NSV: Upped a set strength training.
8/25 271.6 Goals: Rest day; 10K steps; 3.0L water; Track all food- all done
Drank 4.0L of water. Did better on the desire to eat out of boredom. Drank water and found something else to capture my attention. I found myself wanting to do something fitness wise. Think I will look into something fun and fitness related for rest days.
8/26 271.0 Goals: 25 mins cardios; 10k steps; 3.0L water; Track all food- all done
Drank 4.0L of water. Stayed under 1300 calories. Food met satiety well today.
8/27 269.2 Goals: BW Strength Training; 10K Steps; 3.0L water; Track all food-
Glad to see the scale move downward today. Sticking to the plan pays off.9 -

Goal: Get to my goal by the first of the year!
8/27 147.6 ~(Steps 18,495 Miles 7.36)~ Today's my sons birthday......Yesterday I was able to get a nice morning walk in plus hit the gym in the evening since it was too hot outside.

R14 SW 193
Ten more days of accountability. My goal for this round is at least one pound to get to my 50 milestone goal. So happy to see people continuing the challenge
Day/Weight/Comment
8/21 - 191.8 met my 50lb milestone today.
8/22 - 191.2 I'm being rewarded plenty for sticking to my guns this round as I stayed in the 193's for 10 days last round. It is sometimes hard to be patient as I seem to spent a lot of time waiting for the scale to show the payoff of my hard work. I see the pattern though and know if I stay motivated the numbers will move steadily downward.
8/23 - 192.2 High salt day, was so good though!
8/24 - 191.4 I knew it wasn't going to stay -- now I'm wondering if I can possibly get into the 8's in this round.
8/25 - 191.2
8/26 - 191.2
8/27 - 191 ever so slowly but in the right direction!

I'm joining this late, but I hit 145 (my heaviest weight ever) and that spurred me to finally start tracking my calories with MFP. I exercise every day (gym 3x week and running 4x) but truly you can't out exercise a bad diet. In the week I'm not eating my exercise calories, but I am on the weekends when I do a long run. I have MFP set to lose a pound a week right now and I think I'm losing a ton of water weight. When I reach my goal of 130 I will switch to 1/2 a lb a week and then maintenance. What has helped me is instead of tracking what I eat after the fact, I pre-log my meals. So I don't blow it all by lunchtime!

Round 14 (R5 for me)
5’6” Short term Goal weight: 195
Ultimate Goal weight: 155
R10: 204.6 – 201.4
R11: 200 – 203
R12: 200.8 -195.6
R13: 198.4 – 197.2
R14 Goal 194.9 (need to hit that 195 goal!)
Day/Weight/Comment
8/21: 198.4 – so surprise here. Way over on cals the last couple days.
8/22: 196.4 – Wahoo! Finally see a decent drop. Let’s keep this going.
8/23: 196 & 195.6 – Weighed myself twice today, once when I got up and again about 30 mins later. I don’t know which one to record so I’m recording them both. Super sore today from Monday’s workout.
8/24: 195.6 - .7 pounds from my short term goal weight. Once I get there and keep it for a week, I’m rewarding myself with a fancy new workout outfit.
8/25: 195.8 – Not as exciting as a loss but not bad either.
8/26: 195.4 – Woo! Didn’t expect this as I had a carb/fat pigout last night. Spending 6 hours in the car today. Sure way for me to retain a little water. I’ll fit in some exercise somehow.
8/27: 194.6 – Wow! I hit my short term goal! So happy! Now I want to keep it off and then on to my next goal of 185. I haven’t weighed in the 180’s for 8 years (my 30’s) so that would be amazing. Well, now that I think about it I can’t remember the last time I was under 195.

Maybe having such an extreme goal (5 pounds in 1 week) and not meeting it is an inspiration for you but your "sigh" indicates it's grinding you down. Celebrate how much you've accomplished over the last couple weeks. I mean, you are down 5 pounds! That's nothing to sneeze at. If you are measuring all your food and eating at a deficit, you WILL lose weight. Not at 5 pounds a week. That's just not doable over the long haul.
Let's do some math. You weigh ca. 230 pounds, are female and I'm going to guess 5'4", 30 y.o., and sedentary. Using https://tdeecalculator.net, that puts your TDEE at about 2100 calories a day, or eating 21,000 calories over the course of a ten-day challenge. To lose 5 pounds, you need to eat at a deficit of 3500 calories for each pound or a deficit of 17,500 over the 10 days -- a deficit of 1750 calories each day leaving you a net of 350 calories per day.
Can you eat only 350 calories per day for 10 days without becoming very sick? No. It's only about half the daily calories of a hospital-based VLCD. What can you do and still be reasonable? A pound or so a week. That's all.
One can, on occasion, gain and/or lose 5 pounds in the course of a week. I just did this week. You dropped six pounds a couple weeks ago. It's mostly water. Water comes and goes.
So, celebrate! You've kept 5-ish pounds off for a couple weeks now. We'll celebrate the 6th and 7th pounds over the next couple weeks.9 -

8/21: 206 -- worked out, taco festival yesterday. Ate and drank with abandon and zero regrets.
8/22: 206 -- worked out, over calories. Need to rein it in.
8/23: 206 -- over calories (but trending downward), worked out. I think this week is shaping up to be an unintentional diet break (at it since late April).
8/24: 206 -- nothing if not consistent (weight, eating, workouts, etc.) This has been, and continues to be, an awful week on many levels so I'm happy to maintain right now.
8/25: 204.8 -- under calories thanks only to a vigorous workout.
8/26: 204.8 -- over calories, worked out
8/27 202.4 -- LIE. Sick yesterday so no idea on calories, went for a walk.

8/24 - 194.7
8/25 - 195.5 I'll own it. I've been slacking. That's why this thread is good. I need to tighten up. Of course I hope it's water retention. I don't think I've been that bad.
8/26 - 195.5 No change in scale weight, but I feel like my skin is going to pop open, I am sooooo bloated.

Round 8/1: HW 274.4 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
Round 12/5: HW 264.8 LW 261.2 MidW = 263.0
Round 13/6: HW 263.8 LW 260.6 MidW = 262.2
My goal for this round is to have recovered from my eclipse-weekend stay-cay with friends from out of town.
8/21 264.6 -- I’m creeping up the last few days due to taking a logging vacation while friends are in town for the eclipse. They leave later today so starting tomorrow, it’s back to the new normal.
8/22 266.0 -- We saw the totality through a break in the clouds BUT four days of eating with wreckless abandon has sure packed pounds back on. I know some are water but some are probably truly “recovered poundage.” Back to counting & measuring today.
8/23 266.4 -- Oh, I see, the scale is going to be ugly about it. Anyway, yesterday was a nice, easy, within calorie limits day. The is an interesting experiment.
8/24 264.6 -- Okey dokey, starting to go back down. Made homemade pasta last night and a single egg batch is now two meals worth rather than one (4 servings rather than 2). That’s an improvement for both of us.
8/25 262.6 -- It’s going to take more than 3 days of TDEE-500 to recover from 4 days of reckless abandon but I’m getting there! It’s been surprisingly easy to eat within limits again.
8/26 262.2 -- This now matches the mid-weight of last round. Aiming for the low-weight of last round.
8/27 261.8 -- Trust the process ...

8/24 158 I had problem when I burnt my Lean Cuisine TV dinner. I scorched it & it was not edible. But needed to eat lunch... ended up with an higher calorie lunch than I'd planned. Oh well. I'm still very excited!!! I know that I will lose a little in the next 6 days... at least I hope so... adding in exercise so don't know how that will affect at this time.

8/21 -131.5 stable. That's good. Long walk around the lake through the hills and then to the gym. I had an eclipse gathering at my house today. Hopefully not too much damage.
8/22 - 131.1 love the trajectory. Hopefully I can keep this up and reach 130 by the end of this challenge.
8/23 - 132.1 Not really sure what that is about. Although my logging has been a bit haphazard. I am hoping it goes away as fast as it came. And I will be better about logging. Taking responsibility.
8/24 - 131.8 still not doing a decent job at logging. Working out ok. I think mindful eating but who knows without logging. Tomorrow is another day. And 6 more days in this challenge. I remain hopeful & determined!
8/25 - 131 woohoo!!!
8/26 - 130.1 not sure how that happened. And don't expect to stick. But I will take it for now and behave. Let's see what tomorrow brings.
8/27 - 130.6 I am happy with that. Did my 5 mile run this morning. And had a hearty breakfast, that should take me into the afternoon. Trying to keep the momentum going!

SW: 211 on 10/23
End of Round 13: 157.0
8/21: 156.2 - weight seems to be melting off at this point. I won't complain!
8/22: 156.4 - TOM is here and I feel lousy. Wouldn't be surprised to see my weight creep up a bit from TOM.
8/23: 156.8 - I've been under calories, but obviously TOM is causing gain. One thing I like about weighing daily is I know things like this happen and it doesn't stress me out.
8/24: 156.0 - TOM is still here, but feeling better and weight seems to be moving in the right direction again. Would love to keep it here or lower.
8/25: 157.4 - yesterday was the day from *kitten* was way over sodium and about 100 calories over as well. hoping my weight drops back down soon, but not sweating it.
8/26: 157.0 - right direction, but still struggling to keep sodium down yesterday and today.
8/27: 156.0 - back to where I was. Going to try to stay here or lower. Will be hard because I'm going through some things and just want to eat.
