JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 14

amg226 · August 2017

I am in! First round for me.
it will be a challenge as this weekend I will be travelling to Vienna for a nice getaway, so keeping my current weight is my goal.

Current Weight: 61.3 kg
R14 goal - stay in the 60.x
Ultimate goal: 57 kg

8/21 61.3 kg
8/22 60.9 kg - under calories + 6.4 km running YEY. Good, good day!
8/23 60.7 kg - unexpected. Had dinner quite late yesterday, so I was expecting 61 something. But happy!

8/24 61.0 kg - good day though. Had a big pasta plate at lunch and only some melon in the evening after that.
8/25 61.0 kg - great to stay at the same weight! Little bit too much honey yesterday to fix a sore throat.
8/26 - missed (holiday in Vienna)
8/27 - missed (holiday in Vienna)
8/28 61.7 kg - well, it was expected after all the wine and schnitzel I had during the weekend. Back on track from today!
8/29 60.9 kg - Yoohoooo! Under 61 again! No dinner yesterday and light lunch, so happy to be back in the game!
8/30 60.9 kg - yoopee! Goal accomplished!
- average weight 61.0 kg

Tough 10 days, with small vacation where I tried to keep up with the regime but vacation cravings are high for me. also caught a cold a week ago, sore throat and fever stopped me from continuing my running program, so no exercise, but still -0.4 kg is great!

Next: R15!

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!
8/28 - 190.6
8/29 - 190.6 Went to the doctor yesterday. I have been tracking my bp for years and he has seen significant reduction to eliminate part of my blood pressure therapy. I'll track again for 6 weeks and he feels we may be able to cut it down more. This is a wonderful NSV. BUT, he has cut out the HCT, which is the water pill portion of my therapy and I'm nervous about the impending water weight gain. We will see the damage over the next week. If anyone has experience with this I would love to hear.
8/30

That's so wonderful that your blood pressure has improved. So proud of you. Best of luck on the water portion. Try not to get too nervous. I know that's easier said than done though.

Hey everybody! I'm in again but with a late start. I've been battling the stomach flu, so just tracking my calories and forcing myself to eat and drink has been hard. Since work started back up 2 weeks ago, I couldn't call off either, so pushing myself to do that has taken all my energy.

Initial Start Weight: 202
R14 SW: 178.6
GW: 177
UGW: 125

08/21: 178.6 Not at all surprised considering how horribly sick I was.

08/22: 179.6 I am so okay with this. I just don't want to see 180 again. Lol

8/23: 180.8 Welp...I jinxed it. Lol It is what it is.

8/24: 179.6 Whoop...there it is...again. lol

8/25: 178.6 Back to where I started 5 days ago. I am beginning to feel more like myself now after being sick and am grateful for that.

8/26: 179.4 Well, here I go again. This round has been nutty! Lol

8/27: 178.4 I am down 2 oz from my original start weight. This round has been like a roller coaster. I have been up and down everyday, even if I just lose a lb this round, I'll be happy or not go back and stay in the 8s.

8/28: 178.8 What is up with this round? I'd normally be upset, but not this time. Maybe I'm growing in my mental strength to deal with these numbers being all over the place and wonky. I am remaining steady, and that's a positive.

08/29: 178.8 Holding steady

08/30: 178.8 Well, I didn't reach my goal this Round. That hasn't happened very often, but TOM has been visiting. I also had the tummy flu and was getting over it completely, so my body has been through a lot. The best thing is that I've maintained, which is good. So, even though I didn't lose, I'm still in the 7s.

I'm down with that.

8/21 205.6 been stuck on 205 forever!
8/22 206.6- started T.O.M yesterday so that weight gain is probably from that. Did weight lifting and cardio. Fitbit said I burned 967 calories
8/23 206.6- did back and biceps. Burned close to 400 calories. Didn't drink enough water or eat enough.
8/24 205.6 did a hour of light cardio country heat. Counted my calories. Ate good, but should of drank more water
8/25 204.4 didn't workout yesterday but ate very good. Ate about 1500 calories
8/26 204 -did shoulders and counted calories at well.
8/27 203.2! Omg I've never been this low since 2012! So I watched what I ate around 1800 calories. Didn't workout bc I was too lazy to! But I didn't eat bad. Had an amazing eggplant zucchini noodle lasagna last night! Going to make that again for sure.
8/28 204.2 yesterday I watched what I ate was over about 200 calories. Walked for 50 mins
8/29 201.8 yesterday was awful! I got strep throat so I could barely swallow anything down without it hurting a lot! I ate 1000 calories and absolutely no exercise. Just laid on the couch the whole time.
8/30

Get to feeling better!

SW 8/27 162.4 - 60 minute walk/some jogging
8/28 - 161.3 - 60 minute walk/jog
8/29 - 160.5 - either going for a walk/jog or doing a walk at home video after putting chicken in the crockpot
8/30 - 161.7 - ?? We were at the hospital last night - hubby's dad has been there since July 7 and is one step up from being in a permanent coma but still unresponsive - had an unsweetened Starbucks and a cookie there but still ended the day with a deficit - not sure where the gain is from except that I'm still dealing with TOTM so I guess all bets are off for consistency?? Ready to start a fresh 10 days tomorrow!!

8/21 252.6 The weekend is over now it's time to get rid of water wt. and eat healthier.
8/22 252.8 Sounds about right. I could have eaten better but my exercise was pretty good.
8/23 253.3 Had a little pizza indulgence yesterday, not typical of my eating habits but I'm sure its a factor in my increase. I did walk 8569 steps so that helped offset the bad choice.
8/24 255.3 Oh my gosh, why did I eat that salty food yesterday? I know it will blow me up like a balloon. Crap.

8/25 256.0 Man I am sucking wind here what the heck, is this a challenge to see how much I can gain in 10 days?
8/26 254.1 That's more like it, my weight does fluctuate a lot I eat any salt I retain water like crazy and vise versa.
8/27 253.6 I had a pretty good day Sat. eating better, got some good steps in. Will really watch it today and log everything.
8/28 253.2 That wt. makes sense, ate average did about 8300 steps, back to work for the first time in 5 weeks, I should start dropping some weight again. 10 days goes by quick I really enjoy this challenge.
8/29 254.1 Hmmmmmmmmm well, I'm not sure what happened here. My steps were pretty good around 7500, I guess I guess I did more grazing than I thought.
8/30 252.8 Did some detox juicing ate some salmon and cauliflower healthy dinner, about 8000 steps and salvaged my ten days whew.

8/30 - 190.6 well this is interesting but good. I'm off the water pill but stayed the same. I should be down as I had oral surgery yesterday and am on a liquid diet. This is great though, down over 2 lbs this round.

I hope to see you all in round 15!

Starting Weight: 207
Ultimate goal weight: 130

R13 (my first) SW 206.8
R14 SW 203.2
R14 Goal: 202

Round 2 for me. I really like the 10 day commitment. It breaks down an otherwise impossible goal into manageable segments. Thanks for having me!

8/21 - 202.8 - after a weekend, I'll take it. Back to eating on point, no alcoholic hol and a LOT of water.

8/22 - 202.2 - went slightly over calories yesterday. Drank over 100 oz water. It's slow but the process is working.

8/23 - 200.8 - WHAT?! I had to step on the scale 3 times to register this. I'm sure I'll post a gain tomorrow but still psyched to see this number.

8/24 - 200.4 - honestly surprised I've maintained in this area for another day. ONEderland is so close!!

8/25 - 200.6 - still surprised I'm maintaining around here again. Thought for sure I would see a small gain. Maybe all the water I'm drinking (200 oz a day) is helping?!

8/26 - 200.8 - I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed that I haven't hit ONEderland yet. It's toying with me! Heading out for a bike ride today. Should probably revise my goal for this round.

8/27 - 200.6 - UGH. Rode my bike 10 miles yesterday. But I did gorge myself at dinner. Even though I stayed within calories it wasn't a healthy choice. Maybe tomorrow I'll hit ONEderland.

8/28 - 199.8 - wahoooo!!!! ONEderland it's so nice to see you! I'm sure I'll bump up again before I really settle here but it's still nice to see that number. #hardworkispayingoff

8/29 - 200.8 - Bummer. Was hoping to hold in the 190s but I had a feeling it wouldn't happen. Today's goals: Water, water, water. Calories on track today - AM walk with dog and PM bike ride at least 11 miles.

8/30 - 200.6 - Frustrating to be stuck at such a big milestone. I know it will come ... eventually. Not feeling well today so going to take it easy. Called out sick from work. Definitely met my round 14 goal so I should be happy. And I am, just want to reach this milestone of being in the 100s. I'll be back for round 15!

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 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.
8/28: 193.4 – Oh how I wish this was real. I’ll just expect to go back up hopefully just a little though.
8/29: 193.4 – Kinda crazy. I couldn’t get away from 197 in the last round and now here I am in the 193’s. Maybe the scale batteries are going dead?
8/30: 193.2 – I like it! Down 5.2 pounds this round! Woo! Stayed under 195 for four days. Work is grilling steaks for lunch today with potato salad, chips, beans, rolls and cookies. I think I’ll skip it and get an unwich or something.

ehseeker · August 2017

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.
8/29 142.4 Got to gym, ate clean and below cals and carbs. Happy with this number as I wanted to finish this round in the 42's or below. Going to get in some elliptical today and more chick/veggie soup - made a bunch. I want this number to be my new 'high'.

8/30 142.4 The same and I'm happy. My goal for this round was to finish in the 2's and here I is! Got in 45 on ellip before the 2 yr old started proclaiming 'hungry, hungry'. Ate really clean and very tasty yesterday: hard cooked egg, chicken veggie soup, salad, protein drink, baked fish and Irish whiskey! See ya'll next round.
