Oh this is awesome! I definitely want in! I think with this group, I've finally found the support group that I've been looking for!
Ok, I hope I do this right since it's my first day!
1st 10 day challenge = R17 (9/20 - 9/29)

9/21: 141.5lbs
9/22: (official day 1) 142.6lbs. 1.1lbs higher than yesterday but I was expecting it bcz on 9/21 I started my day off with 2 Dunkin Donuts thanks to work (I swear I love & hate when they bring in free food for everyone)...which lead to crazy mindless munching at the end of the night bcz I somewhat ate less throughout the day to try to compensate for the calorie bomb I had for breakfast. So the scale was higher but not as bad as I thought.

Round 16 SW: 175 - EW: 174.5
9/20: 173.5
Hm, didn't have enough water yesterday, I might be a bit dehydrated. Actually ate under calories Tue but I went out for a cocktail and dim sum.
9/21: 174
Plenty of water today, no added sugar, declined free cookies, got some exercise, stayed under calories. Potluck tomorrow, we shall see.
9/22: 174
Had a bit more to eat than I should have at my work potluck, but nothing with added sugar and it fit in my calories if I skip my planned dinner, not ideal. Light on water, I'll try to have more before bed.

10 Day Goal:153.3 This is 10 lbs. down from when I first began
Day/Weight/Comment
9/19- 154.44 Does walking Costco count as exercise? lol Kept to our grocery list and avoided buying a pizza for dinner, even though it was calling me the entire time. Came home and found a salmon patty instead with salad and a few sweet potato fries. Didn't follow my plan, but made positive choices.
9/20- 154.22 Managed to get in a mile walk before it started to rain. Feeling determined to reach my goal this round.
9/21- 155.32 Absolutely no reason for this gain. Eating below calories, getting exercise in, and drinking plenty of water. Hopefully this is only temporary. (my hair was damp when I weighed today, so that might be a small part of this)
9/22- 154.44 Glad the weight is back down. That Costco pizza was still on my mind today, but no one answered when we called to order ahead, so we ended up eating leftovers. Thank you Costco. You saved me a bunch of calories. lol Tomorrow we are doing a university tour with my son so there will be lots of walking.

9/20 : 196.6 hey good number to start this round...hoping not to bounce around too much
9/21: 197.6 Yesterday was a bad day for me. I binged on almost everything in sight. And idk why....I was just weak. So was very happy to see this number this AM. But tbh i obsessed over my weight all day and I'm worried I may be slipping into a bad cycle. . I literally stepped on the scale like 10 times...I ran todayfor 30 mins...I don't run ever....And Then worked out for an hour. *sigh* I know this isn't good for me.
9/21: 197.2 got a good workout in this morning.....then ate all my calories back in Taco Bell! Oops tommorow should be interesting

@fourathomej Sorry to hear about your mother. Hope the arm heals quickly!
Many events along the way will scupper our best intentions, but they merely delay the achievement of our goals. Life is for living, and one must learn patience. It takes many years to put on excess weight, so It follows that it takes much time to remove, but it is coming off, bit by stubborn bit! Stick with it! The game continues!
Eat and burn is the path I chose!
Bit by bit, ounce by ounce, it goes.
In all things, moderation!
Focus on determination!
I HAVE the power and determination to do this.
Observations, and Previous RoundsA lot of people get upset by apparent weight gain when they have been working their butts off. Body weight fluctuates, both up, and down, from one day to the next depending on so many factors. From my experience:Round 16: (Target: 160) Highest, 162.4; lowest, 160.2; Mean, 161.3 It's slow, but I am very happy with the downward trend.- Changes often take several days to show on the scale.
- A drop is often followed by a bounce up before it settles back down. A general downward trend is the aim.
- A high sodium day usually results in water retention, unless you drink extra fluids to flush it out.
If you are making positive lifestyle changes it will lead to increased health and fitness.
Slow and steady leads to sustainable weight loss.
But remember to live a little along the way!

20/9 - 224.2 so happy to see this # again. Now I know it wasn't a fluke yesterday. :
21/9 - 223.8 strange. I got on the scale and it said 224.2. My SO got on after me (who by the way eats everything and his weight has not moved on 5 years - 165) so I know the scale isn't broken. I got back on and it moved lower to the same spot after 3 more attempts. Should I let him weigh before me everyday I wonder
Be blessed and positive today everyone.
22/9 - 222.4 didn't eat properly yesterday and very hungry now.
23/9 - 223.4 more irregular eating. Trinidad doubles and pie.... still not right or on time. Water not on point either. Yesterday my attitude was -
I am too tired/stressed to care. That's what got me at 250. I should never be too anything to care about me and my future. Today is the first day of vacation so I know I got this.

Hello all!!
Love this challenge and this group for accountability. Weighing every day has been an important factor in my success so far!
SW - March 2017 - 182.4lbs
GW - 145 - it was 150 initially but I smashed that last week and I don't feel like I'm done. I'm happy with where I am but I've got some pooch left and I think having a maintenance range of 145-149 would be ideal...so I'm going to slowly chip away at the last few pounds and work on my fitness.
9/19 - 149.8 - coming in from round 16
Day/Weight/Comment
9/20 - 149.0 - still can't get over seeing something under 150...it's been sooo long.....
9/21 - 148.8 - had ham for dinner last night so was expecting an upward sodium blip...might show up tomorrow, but I'll try to ward it off with lots of H-2-O
9/22 - 148.0 - lots of steps at work yesterday. Going to try to "maintain" this weekend and see how that goes, I need to start getting that figured out soon as I get even closer to where I want to stay for a while.

9/22 125.1 - weight went down a bit. Ate within calories. Did a HIIT class and kickboxing.
9/23. 126.3. Urggggghh. I did a whole body interval class and kickboxing class. Ate within calories. I would be ok with no loss, but the gains are frustrating me. I'm already at 1200 calorie intake.

I'm back! I've been a part of this group for so long now that posting is just an automatic response because it's truly a part of my daily routine. I'm so appreciative of all the support and encouragement along my journey. I am starting this Round down 4 oz from my last round. If I could just get to 174 this Round, I'd be happy.

09/20: 174.6 So, Mom is getting released from rehab on Saturday. I fell off a table at work yesterday because I was hanging up some anchor charts and landed on a concrete floor. I know, I should have used a stool. I was pretty sore yesterday, but I am better today except for my finger. I jammed it when trying to catch myself.
09/21: 174.4 This is the 4th time I've seen this number. I have yet to get any lower than this or to have my BIG WHOOSH! It's been 2 weeks. It's only a matter of time, right?! The tortoise beat the hare.
09/22: 174! I hit my 4 oz!!!! I've officially lost 28lbs. I'm so behind thrilled. Now, I just want to lose 2 more pounds, and that will put me at a 30 lb loss and the same weight as my teenage son, who happens to be 7 inches taller than me.
09/23: 173.6 YIPPEE! I've dropped into a new number in the 70s. This is my newest low! I haven't seen this number since my first pregnancy, and that was about 14 years ago. Say what now?!

9/23 166.6
up again, but weighing every day is really helping me see what gets me up or down and when I start falling off. This week has been stressful so haven't been tracking meals well and Ive had more alcohol than normal and letting fast foods sneak back in. Plus side.is catching it quickly so I can get back on track.

9/20 - 223.8 - still moving in the right direction; finally got to the gym last night; hoping to be as consistent as possible with that over these 10 days as I've been taking a lot of breaks for various reasons beyond my control (and it was HARD last night)
9/21- 224.6 - not surprised. Yesterday was my birthday and we had a big sushi dinner and I had an extra piece of cake. Plus I only ran two miles instead of three as my birthday present to myself. SO got me a ukulele which I am THRILLED about! Lots of water today to counteract the sodium from the sushi/soy sauce.
9/22 - 224.6 - holding steady. Can't seem to bring myself back up to 3 miles. Feeling a little down. Water wasn't great yesterday but going to try to do better today.
9/23 - 223.4 - I like it but I don't know that I trust it. We'll see.
