JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 14

Back still! Did the yoyo thing last round; ended up where I started 144.4. I vow to be more conscious this round and to exercise more - hard to do lately because of family commitments. I'm looking to get to 143 or below without bouncing back. I started midway through Round 2 at 153.9 on 4/29. Slow going but better than nothing. I'm at roughly .5 a week loss. I need to get a little more serious this round.
Day/Weight/Comment
8/21 144.4 - 45 on ellip and 1 ice cream nutty buddy. Did forgo the enchiladas I made yesterday and had a salad with the chicken and black beans on it. My goal today is to keep carbs no more than 50 and calories 1000-1200. Happy Eclipse everyone!
8/22 143.2 Woo Hoo! Hope some of this loss is fat. Now to pay attention so that I continue the downward. 75 min on ellip and made a crustless mushroom quiche - high in protein, tasty and satisfying and low in cals and carbs. More ellip today and hopefully get to gym. Remember, you are beautiful.
8/23 144 Ah phooey... knew it was too big of a drop all at once. Still, down almost half a pound since Monday. Gotta get me to gym today by hook or by crook. Did 60 min on ellip and ate within cal, below on carbs. Merry losing, ya'll.
8/24 144 Got to gym yesterday - love it. Makes me feel like Wonder Woman. Ate within cals and carbs. Waiting for a whoosh. Since the weekend is coming a lunch out with friends, I'll be extra good today and tomorrow.
8/25 143 Again! LOL Surprised as my son asked me to make Chinese drumsticks which have a lot of soy sauce = sodium. Happy Friday!
8/26 144.8 There's the sodium and 2 slices of pizza and mixed drink. Higher than when this round started. Off to camp out and maybe get some exercise. Didn't make it to gym as I'd only had 3 hours sleep. I want to see the scale say in the 142's before this decade ends.
8/27 no scale in the woods.... lots of hiking up and down hills, ate sensibly, brought chicken and veggie foil packets for dinner.
8/28 141.6 Whoop! Slept very late for me and some of this loss is thanks to kidneys but I'm celebrating. All that hiking burned some cals. Gonna make some chicken/veggie soup to stay below my high yoyo for this round. Thank you body. PS... I have lost 21 pounds by this morning's weigh in. Doing the happy dance.

Round 13 EW: 231
8/28- 229.1- I don't think I'm going to hit 228 this round, but that's OK because I've lost almost 2 lbs as it is and have been maintaining healthy habits.
8/29
8/30
Great attitude! Healthy habits are the reason for success and will help us when we reach goal and are working in maintenance!

Round 14
8/21 - 242.6: Just got back from vacation and starting MFP (again) after a not so great attempt at losing weight with Noom.
8/22 - n/a
8/23 - 242
8/24 -242.2
8/25 -242.4: I'm going to go ahead and blame my period for the weight gain
8/26 -241: worked out T-F this week and kept up with my water intake
8/27 - 240
8/28 -239.2: I'm very happy with this weigh in especially considering I did not workout this weekend and went out to dinner last night.

I'm in. Finished the last round where I started but I think I've got some water retention going on.

Round 14 goal: 229
Day/Weight/Comment
8/21 - 231.8 - heading back in the right direction after my family reunion this weekend
8/22 - 230.6 - hoping this holds; almost as low as I got last round
8/23 - 230.0 - a new low! Hard work is feeling like it is starting to pay off. Even if I can't see the results when I look in the mirror, I absolutely feel better and that's what is important.
8/24 - 229.0 - wow! I didn't expect that! I expect it will bounce around some, but it sure felt good to see!
8/25 - 229.0 - holding steading; TOM started today so I must have been holding on to some water weight
8/26 - 229.2 - felt pretty bloated this morning so I'm happy with this
8/27 - 229.2 - I'm not surprised. Pizza last night (sodium) and not enough sleep. Really hoping I don't bounce up tomorrow!
8/28 - 230.2 - Family barbecue yesterday. I probably ate around maintenance and tracked as best as I could. Not really concerned because I know it isn't a pound of fat! Hoping it goes back down over the next two days so I can end this challenge at my goal. So close!

8/21 165.5
8/22. 165.5 will focus today on making healthy choices.
8/23 166.5. I knew it would go up. In the middle of orientation week activities as my daughter starts college and am surrounded by food and treats 24/7. Today is the last day and the temptations should be gone.
8/24 167 I'm not surprised. Committing to refocus my efforts.
8/25 168
8/26 165.5. Back where I started at the beginning of the challenge. Hope to make some progress now in the next few days and finish strong!
8/27 166.5
8/28 167 going in the wrong direction and only 2 days left. ☹️

R12 SW 229.7
R13 SW 227.0

My goal for this round is to continue to keep up with my hydration. I would also like to work on my flexibility, so I'm going to stretch for at least 5 minutes a day.
Day/Weight/Comment
8/21--227.2
8/22--227.0 Tonight I am flying to see my parents. I was contemplating whether I should bring my scale, but I decided I will. I'm still not sure if I should bring my food scale or not. I am sure the 5 hour flight will show up in my weight tomorrow. I forgot to stretch yesterday, but this morning after walking the dog I did my stretching.
8/23--228.6 I know this number is not accurate. Between the water retention from the flight, the fact that I have had less than 4 hours of sleep, and the fact that my scale is at a different location, I'm not surprised that the weight is up.
8/24--226.1 Another weigh in at my parents house so not sure if this is a true loss loss or not, but I will take it.
8/25--225.9 Went to the rec center near my parents house and did my weightlifting yesterday. Also did my stretching. Going out for dinner with friends tonight so I expect a gain to show up tomorrow.
8/26--226.6 Went out for dinner last night. Just got back from the gym and returning home today. I was impressed with the fact that during my four day trip to my parents I went to the gym twice, stretched every day, and, other than for yesterday, I ate at or near my calorie goals.
8/27--229.2 Ugh. A part of this is from the water retention from the flight and the fact that I didn't drink a lot of water yesterday. I also didn't plan for the almost 9 hours of travel time, so I ended up eating candy while waiting at the airport and then coming home and eating when I really wasn't hungry and now I'm feeling a little gross. So, today I am just getting back to eating as usual today and getting back on track. It will be interesting to see the scale tomorrow.
8/28--228.8 I was still feeling gross yesterday, so I lspent most of the day laying on the couch watching tv. I also didn't drink as much water as I should of. I woke up today still feeling heavy. Today it'sback to my normal schedule.

Ok, looking forward to giving this a try!
Starting weight 186
Current weight 176
Goal weight for R14 - 173
Goal weight 153
I've been losing and gaining the same 3 lbs since March. 173 is my lowest, I just so want to see the 6's again.
Day/Weight/Comment
8/21-176 Ate Mexican food out for the last 3 nights. Wonder why I gained 3 lbs back?
8/22 - 175. I knew some of this was just sodium. But I DID run 2 miles last night.
8/23 - 175. Did some weight lifting and went for a walk. Stayed within points. Its a win for today.
8/24 - 174.8 I'll take it. Stayed under points, ran and did yoga.
8/25 - 174.4 still the right direction. Took a rest day. My body was complaining. Back to working out today.
8/26 -174
8/27 - 175
8/28 - 175.8 - so seeing my problem. The weekends are doing me in! I can do great all week, just not enough schedule for me to stay on track. I need to plan better beforehand. And maybe have a 1 or 2 beers less.

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.
8/28: 156.6 - way over sodium again and about 100 calories over again as well. glad the weekend is over and now I can go back to my normal routine. hopefully, I can get in enough water in the next few days to end this round strong.

8/28 182.0 Noooo!! Being sick plus TOM is a bad combo for me. Way to much eating snacky type foods and not tracking. I just hope I can get back into the 170's at this point.

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- all done
Glad to see the scale move downward today. Sticking to the plan pays off. Drank 4.0L of water. Stayed busy and I had to squeeze in a walk to meet my step goal last night. I didn’t want to but I am glad I did.
8/28 268.0 Goals: 25 mins cardio; 10k steps; 3.0L water; Track all food-
It is nice to see this new low.

8/23: 218.2 - Again! I just want to see a drop so bad but I guess it could be worse.
8/24: 217.8 - That's better lol! It's my daughter' 7th birthday!
8/25: 217.4 - It may not be much but that is a new low! I managed to stick to my calories yesterday while still enjoying some ice cream cake
8/26: 216.8 - I had two HUGE bowls of spaghetti last night and did not expect that number this morning. Another new low!
8/27: 218 - Daughter's birthday party yesterday. We had lots of fun and I managed to stay in my calories and didn't feel the need to eat a bunch of cake!
8/28: 217.6 - I haven't felt good these last couple of days. I'm thinking it's all the junk food I've been eating with the birthday party and such. Yesterday I had a mini binge and went over my calories eating cereal and cupcakes. Not a good idea. Today is a new day and I l'll ne jumping back into my old routine.
