9/25 - 84.4kg, trying IF (16:8). It’s definitely doable when I have zero calories drinks!
9/26 - 83.0kg, successfully fasted for 16.5hrs! I think this weigh in is on the lower end of my fluctuations where yesterday was on the upper end. It’s motivating regardless

9/27- 82.5kg, just over 3hours left of my second 16hr fast! I’ve been weighing myself at different times of the day so getting a lot of variation. It’s great to see the scale go down but I’m not holding onto these lower numbers just yet. The past two days I’ve weighed myself after eating, but today was before eating, so perhaps the first weigh-in was over?

Round 6 for me.. dropped out in the last round. Hoping to stay in this round. I'm packing as we soon should be moving into a new flat. I did manage to get down to 192, but I had a bad eating day yesterday ( not enough food) so my body has held on to its fat. Looking to get to 190lbs by the end of this round.
9/25-193- new NSV - fitting back into size 14!! So happy - so far 22lbs weigh dropped

9/26 193 lbs

@quiltingjaine, I 'm so glad that your DGD'S court appearance had a positive outcome. I said a prayer for her as soon as I read your post yesterday.

@puttyputty, I'm praying that your DH'S test results are negative for cancer. Happy to see you post!

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieve permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

In all, I want to drop 55 (so I have 51 and a half left now). I'm 5'6" and started weighing 185 lbs, so my goal is about 130. I'm trying to set small, realistic goals so that I can motivate myself with my successes.

My goal for this round is to stay under my calorie goal, 1200, and to lose 3 more pounds.

Round 53: SW: 185 EW: 182 (3 lbs lost)
Round 54: SW: 181.5:

Goal Weight for Round 54: 178.5

9/25 181.5; 48 oz of water. 1,000 calories. I’M HUNGRY!!!!

9/26 - 181.2; Didn’t do very well on water intake today, but managed to consume only 1,000 calories. Keto diet is going well, eating lots of fat and around 20 grams of carbs.

Hi everyone! My very first round and possibly my very first post.
32 y/o male, 6ft. Activity 5 days cardio @ 30 mins. 3 days Weights @ 45 mins. Can lose 2 lbs a week with 2000 cal,
Lot of experience with nutrition, exercise and tracking meals etc but crazy snacking problem since childhood.
Went from SW 310 to CW 265 and have literally tried everything to shake this plateau for the last 9 months. I usually weigh daily but maybe some visual accountability might be what I need to combat my terrible relationship with snacking at night. I am going to avoid late night deserts and indulgences until weekend as a starter. Would be ecstatic to lose about 5 lbs in 10 days to kick start things again.

Day-Weight-Comment
9/25-269.8- 18 hr IF fast (no deserts night one)
9/26-269.8- 18 hr IF fast (no deserts night two)

A year ago, I weighed 204.4!

I begin this journey at the weight of 228.3 999 days ago!

I rarely need to use willpower or motivation, as 100’s of tiny habits I developed slowly over a long time carry me along!

Despite what people say about it gets harder as time goes on, this time I found quite the opposite: it’s been the easiest ever. I only wish The research on changing habits, all of these apps, and the Apple Watch had been invented earlier!

9/25 159.6 water weight from injury & brace I am wearing... all will be fine! Eating less than normal & still walking.
9/26 161 or 162, can’t remember...still retaining a lot of fluids as body responds to break, meds, bruising. Surgery in 7days!

9/25 - 151.5 - I had to hop on the scale a couple times to believe it this morning. I hope it sticks around!
9/26 - 151 - Wow, 1 lb. from my top goal weight. I know my weight will be bouncing up and down over the next week due to water, stress, etc., but seeing this number makes me so happy this morning!
9/27 - 150 - WooHoo! I certainly did not expect to see this! This has been my goal weight since I joined MFP back in February of 2015 weighing 188. I lost and gained back around 15 pounds for 3 years until March of this year. Starting at 186, I decided to really make an effort this time. My loss stalled in May, so I started looking for something to give me the motivation to continue. I found this 10 day challenge. The daily weighing, advice, commiseration, victories, etc. have made all the difference this time. I can't tell you how much I've learned from reading all of your daily stories. Thank you to all!
