10/10 155.5
10/11 158 WTH? I have no words! Maybe what I ate for dinner was high sodium? As a side note, it's finally cooling off in Las Vegas so I will need to be mindful of water intake! No high above 88 (today) for the next 15 days.
10/12 155.5 Right on macros, over calories- 10 oz white zin because I couldn't dump it down the drain, 5 or 6 quarts of water!

All right! Here we go for another round! Will it be good? Will it be bad? Wo o o o! Only the shadow knows for sure!

10/11: 217
Got a call yesterday to come in for the second part of my sleep study! Made sure to ask for a scale this morning before taking a shower; weighed 217. Been riding most of the day; but I resisted stopping for fast food! Hope this number sticks around this time! If I say "pretty please" will you stay?

10/12: 219
Well, it is evident that saying 'pretty please' did not work . That Turkey chili I made was low on calories and fat but high on sodium! Watching sodium intake is crucial to weight loss for me! Will do better today; already pre planned my meals for today! Now, I just need to drink enough water to flush away all this salt!

ROUND 19 - MY ROUND 6

I have not had a lot of success. Something is always "happening" and it gets distracting. I tracked honestly today (10/9) and already am at 1700 calories at 6:15 pm!! Going to try to be honest and hope that helps me make better choices. I want to be below 159.9 for my friends wedding that I'm in on October 27.

10/9 162.3 - a bit over where I was at the beginning of last round - I can't keep myself together...but I do believe my "average" of weights went down last round...
10/10 162.6 GRRRRRRRRR
10/11 163.0 extra grrrrr and the dress is tight!!!!!!!!
10/12 161.7 yay!!

Brand new round, same journey continues!
Time surely flies when you're having fun! I can't believe that this is already my fifth round for this challenge. I still remember the time when I created an MFP account and was just logging my daily intake. I got bored so I was tinkering with the app and saw the community tab. Got curious with it so I was checking threads and lo! I found the one for Challenges! And I really wanna be serious with my weight loss now. I'm not getting any younger and I see how I'm missing a lot because of how unhealthy I am. Then I decided to join this 10-day challenge since I'm already weighing myself daily, so what better use of the data but to log it in here for accountability. It's fun reading the entries of other participants and I gained a lot of nice insights. I'd really say that this challenge helped me A LOT in maintaining my focus. Looking back at where I started, I still can't believe that I'm here now, but I'm definitely thrilled. Looking forward to the 170s.

10/10 - 181.2 -- good start for the week. Since I gave up midway last round (because of sickness). I'm all set for this round and challenging myself to do better.

10/11 - 180.3 -- Seems like I lost a lot of the water weight I gained after overeating the last few days. Will see to it to be back to my usual diet in the next couple of days. Dance performance is due on Friday as well!

10/12 - 178.6 -- still not back on my usual diet but I'm happy that I'm still doing good. Being sick messed my diet and routine. I still have weird cravings and my muscles are sore when I started dancing again (I didn't warm up properly maybe). Hopefully, I'd be able to put back everything to normal by the end of this round. Tomorrow's the performance though...

Back for my 6th round.
BW - 221.8
R14 - 218.8
R15 - 216.2
R16 - 218.2 - vacation
R17 - who knows what happened here.
R18 - 219.4

R19 goal - 216.2 - lofty goal but it would get me back to R15 (pre-vacation) weight.

10/10 - had to be to work 2 hours early and it was all I could do to drag my sorry rear out of bed and get there in time!
10/11 - 220.4 - serves me right. I got to the end of the day and saw I had 400 calories left - so had a smallish margarita. Alcohol and losing weight do NOT go hand in hand. Plus I didn't get my morning walk in either of these mornings. My husband says I get "twitchy" if I go too many days w/o working up a sweat, and he's right! I'm feeling pretty on edge right now.
10/12 - 218.2 - SWEET!

Seventh round with this glorious group of supportive peeps!

Been doing amazingly well.  Taking note of daily fluctuations and watching the 10-day averages consistently decrease has really helped!  (Decreases I might have otherwise missed by weighing weekly or irregularly.)

My recommendations for newbies:  Keep your focus on the average over the 10 days.  Don't let the daily fluctuations get you down.  Instead, notice that everyone's weights go up and down and it can take a few days to see the results of good/bad behavior.  Stay the course, gain from other's experiences, and ask for support when you need it!

WE CAN DO THIS!!!

Rounds 13 - 17:
Round 18: SW 159.8, EW 158.0 (-1.8 lb),
LW 157.4, HW 159.8, AVG 158.7

Round 19
SW:  158.0
GW:  155.4

Day/Weight/Comment
10/10:  157.8  I say, if it's going to fluctuate, fluctuate downward please! 

10/11:  156.8  Wooosh!  Hope it sticks around for my Friday team challenge weigh-ins!!

10/12:  157.2  Boing!  Still less than last round's low, so I'll take it.
