7/23/ 171/ stuck in self isolation and trying not to snack!
7/24 / 170.6 / 4 days left in isolation, struggling for workout motivation but going to try and manage at least some yoga today.
7/25 / 169.7 / well its going in the right direction so far! I think being in my little bubble is making control easier, but, I'm now worrying that once I'm released I'll fall back into old habits, all the good work will be ruined. Will have to start my reintegration planning today so it's not a free for all when I'm out!

Hi, First time taking part in one of these 10 day challenges. Im at the heaviest i've ever been, over eat most days, drink too much beer regularly and generally feel like crap.

Starting this off the back of being at a wedding last weekend and felt really uncomfortable all weekend in a suit.

Aiming for no alcohol for these 10 days too!

42 year old, 6ft tall, British man.

7/21. 21st11lb ( 305lb) Healthy meals planned for today and golf this evening

7/22 21st 5lb (299lb) stuck to plan yesterday. Feel great. Big overnight loss but probably water loss due to sweating profusely in the heat. Meals planned and golf again after work. 🙂
7/23 21st 4lb (298lb) Stuck to plan yesterday. Drank soooo much water due to the heat. 3 litres alone while playing 9 holes of golf. Slept really well and feel less bloated.
7/24 21st 5lb (299lb) weighed in later in the day as get up early for golf. Ate well yesterday however enjoyed a bit too much white wine 😵‍💫 ate bread today too. Will refocus tomorrow and make better decisions.
7/25 21st 4lb 298lb great nights sleep last night. Had boiled eggs on 2 rounds of toast for breakfast today and have nice healthy choices lined up for today. Decorating the kitchen today so will be nice and active. 🙂

7/24: 171.0

7/25: 170.5. . . .felt the need to burn off more calories yesterday so I went for an unscheduled jog and made fairly good time. Lost one of my dear little hens, Emma, to a fox yesterday, in broad daylight (early afternoon) so today they all have to stay in their run instead of roaming free. The guy who comes in and makes hay in the fields to my east told me that he'd seen a fox with young out there so I guess she must be pretty desperate for food to be so brave. But my poor Emma! And the other girls must be totally traumatized too. I have often thought that things would go better for the poultry if the roosters would shut up and stop crowing all day long. I can hear them when I am way back in the woods; they're just announcing their location to the chicken hunters of the world. I remember when I lived in England and was doing some field research that went into the evenings. A fox had learned to bark sharply, causing the pheasants to yell in terror and then the fox would know where the fools were.

🎯Mini Goal: 204.x (Repeat until I hit it!)

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
7/21 204.9 Walk 4.5 + 1.3 miles, bike 30 min, squats & hand weights, 1252 cal, 110 net carbs, AF. Big swoosh from yesterday which was an obvious sodium uptick. Now to keep this below 205 for the entire round!
7/22 204.3 Walk 3 + 1.3 miles, garden, 1161 cal, 49 net carbs, AF. Tried Kombucha for the first time. Kevita sparkling Lemon Cayenne. Nice change of pace!
7/23 204.6 Walk 3.3 miles, garden, 1439 cal, 77 net carbs, 2 glasses of wine. Today I’m meeting an old friend to walk the paths on Buffalo Bayou downtown Houston, Cisterns tour, and picnic!
7/24 204.5 Walked 2 + 3.4 + .6 miles Buffalo Bayou, 1564 cal, 101 net carbs, 2 glasses of wine. Wonderful active day! Closed all my rings plus overlapped the rings on the Apple Watch. 19550 steps!
7/25 205.0 Walk 3.2 + .6 miles, 1538 cal, 120 net carbs, AF. Grimaldi’s pizza … need I say more? Drinking water!

Decided to up my game and join a class with a friend once per week. Strong and Fit: one-hour total body workout increases muscle strength and endurance by using light weights and high repetition! Also have plans to swim laps once per week at the olympic size pool only 2 miles from my house. Taking advantage of the area I'm in with all of its benefits before my husband decides to move us to a rural area of the world LOL

SW: 59 kg
GW: 50 kg
Goal for round 157 is 57 or 58 kg.

7/22: 59.6 kg - Not feeling so good about the weight gain. Keeping mindful of what I consume today and my exercise.
7/23: 59.5 kg - Going on a run in the morning and also an evening walk!
7/24: 58.7 kg - Happy! Played tennis with a friend and went for all you can eat sushi. Didn't eat anything the rest of the day as I was really full. Had green tea and lots of water instead.
7/25: 59.4 kg - Expected this gain from AYCE sushi lol. Hoping this week will be better!! Today, playing mini golf and doing some light sports activities.

End of 10 day challenge goal: 243.5

Drink a minimum of 64 oz water a day 
Swim, Circuit, Hike (5x week minimum)
  Previous Challenge 156: 245.4 (-1.8)

7/21 - 245.8 (+.4) I’m actually up from yesterday, which is a surprise. I struggled eating enough because of my schedule. I’m really tired today and need to plan my meals so I get enough calories. Who would have guessed I’d have days when I didn’t eat enough? I worked out at Orange Theory Fitness so had additional calories I needed to eat to make up for the intense exercise.
7/22 - 245 (-.4) Yay! A little at a time. Today is my swim day. I love going to the pool.
7/23 - 244.8 (-.6) Darn! I was hoping for a bigger loss. Oh well, still on the way down. Swimming was wonderful yesterday. Today’s Orange Theory Fitness. I bought an Apple Watch and am curious to see how it syncs with MFP. The Olympics start today and I’m always so inspired by the athletes.
7/24 244 (-1.4) Now that feels good. Today is my weekly indulgence meal so the scale will be up in the next two days and then I hope to see it drop back down. I try to schedule the indulgence meal when I’m meeting a friend so it’s a double treat. I did close all my Apple rings yesterday on my brand new watch. I can see how this is motivational.
7/25 246 (+.6) I enjoyed every minute of my indulgence meal yesterday. Well worth waiting for. Today I’m hiking with my sister, which is always fun and beautiful, my favorite exercise.

Feeling great about starting today! Got lots of sleep last night. I'm in for a healthy 10-days.
7/22 231.7
Slept terribly. Maybe won't have green tea so close to bedtime tonight. Busy day today- work, gym, 1 hr to have dinner and see family, then taking a class with my husband in the evening. I'm thinking about cutting back on my salad dressing by half because I have been really pouring it on. Maybe that will help get the scale moving!
7/23 231.7
Slept a lot of hours if not the most peaceful sleep last night...cutting down on sugar and/or sleeping longer is making my dreams more vivid. I'm disappointed the scale didn't go down today but I have faith that I'll see a big loss (0.5 lb+) within the next couple of days. I have been sticking to my 1200-1300 calorie budget for 2lb/week...hmm. I'll get outside for a long walk today and see if it helps!
7/24 230 point something...
I weighed myself, but I can't remember the exact number. I didn't want to write it down because I started "my time of the month" and I didn't trust the numbers on the scale.
7/25 230.8
Decided to trust the number on the scale and write it down this time, even though I'm worried how it will fluctuate this week due to the wackiness of the menstrual cycle. I admit it is nice to see that I dropped a whole pound. Hoping it stays dropped.

7/21: 144# Good day yesterday. Able to walk outside although it was terribly muggy.
7/22: 143.5# Planning my food yesterday helped as I went out with colleagues for a send off and still came in below calories and then walked when I got home. Upper body strength training is checked off for today.
7/23: 143# The weather was great so able to get out and walk yesterday. Off to a good start but the weekend is looming - better plan ahead.
7/24: 143# Still on track with strategy despite my Friday night wine splurge. Got caught in a sudden rain storm while out walking. Keep up the good work everyone
7/25: 142.5# Very frustrating day yesterday and my attitude did not help. Lots of challenges and delays getting out for a bike ride but I did it despite my myself. I needed a whop upside the head to set me straight. Amor fati

Day/Weight/Comment
07/20 …..194.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/21 …..193.4 ….. Wow! I didn’t expect this loss today. However, I am reminded that sometimes the changes take a few days to show up on the scale. Yesterday I upped my calories closer to my goal (a little low lately). I got in less movement with no planned exercise or walking but I did do yard work and stack wood. I would love to get to 192 point anything this round so that I could be within reach of the 180’s by next round. However, my goal is any weight loss at all (progress) so I am well on my way to both I hope! Good luck everyone on this round. Our goals are varied and so are our methods. I am behind you all and look forward to sharing our journeys.

07/22 …..194.2 ….. Dammit! I got really hungry last night because dinner earlier just didn’t satisfy. I ended up eating extra “diet” snacks. I was in the red by 199 calories. 0.8 which is concerning because I am having a long travel day today which will mean restaurants and sitting. I dread tomorrow’s weigh-in! On the good side – my trend weight is still going down. Staying grateful!

07/23 …..196.4 ….. After travel weight and also following a day of too many snacks. I will keep today very low calorie. I’m planning on moving a lot and sucking down the water!

07/24 …..196.6 ….. I ended up with a bit of travel yesterday for supplies for the reno. My handyman accompanied me and I bought us dinner out. I fasted all day and kept the meal reasonable. No TMI day 2 is not doing me any favors! Today I will try again for the lower calorie and carb day. Raining cats & dogs here.

07/25 …..194.8 ….. A nice drop on the scale after a low 1004 calorie day and very low carb-friendly veggies. Not much exercise yesterday, no enough water and very little sleep last night, but the efforts with my eating plan payed off. Today is an exciting day. My childhood best friend called me out of the blue yesterday. She has traveled to Michigan from Tennessee for a Memorial Service for an Aunt. She is going to meet me halfway from downstate so we can have lunch together and a nice visit before she heads back. Of course that means another restaurant and lots of sitting during the travel but I am thrilled to be able to see her. I will make up for any hits on the scale or waistline. I always do. Glad I had a drop today on the scale. That helps.

Lost one of my dear little hens, Emma, to a fox yesterday, in broad daylight (early afternoon) so today they all have to stay in their run instead of roaming free. The guy who comes in and makes hay in the fields to my east told me that he'd seen a fox with young out there so I guess she must be pretty desperate for food to be so brave. But my poor Emma! And the other girls must be totally traumatized too. I have often thought that things would go better for the poultry if the roosters would shut up and stop crowing all day long. I can hear them when I am way back in the woods; they're just announcing their location to the chicken hunters of the world. I remember when I lived in England and was doing some field research that went into the evenings. A fox had learned to bark sharply, causing the pheasants to yell in terror and then the fox would know where the fools were.

I’m sorry about Emma, @chublet25 , but I love your story about the clever fox! It’s all a balancing act.

7/25 - 146.8 - Expected. Concert Friday night, river yesterday. While at the river, my Godson ended up going to the the hospital and then transported to the transplant hospital diagnosed with RSV. Seems as though he's doing alright considering it's only been 6 months since transplant, but staying until Wednesday for observation. Hectic weekend thus far. Battling a migraine yesterday that has lasted through to today. Hoping something will finally give in a relieve it. Not sure plans, exactly, a few ideas have been tossed around. Drinking some coffee (maybe it's caffeine withdrawal?) And back to my water.

Also, back to commuting tomorrow so, depending on my timing in the mornings, I may or may not be able to post. I'm still here! I'll be back Friday on my day off at the very least (:

Previous Day's Comments

7/21 - Still bouncy, that's alright. I imagine its lower water intake (65 oz) combined with my homemade enchiladas last night. BF and kids came home so I had dinner just out of the oven when they walked in and homemade brownies baking while we ate so they were fresh and warm for dessert. With all that cooking and baking, I neglected my water. Finished W1D2 of Zombies C25K and today I'll try some strength. I cancelled my 9Round subscription since I can't really squeeze it in enough with my commuting schedule to be worth the money. Will have to find something else. I'm sure YouTube has something for me to get me through.
7/22 - Finally hit my 90 oz water! Did a little strength workout yesterday. It wasn't much, but I am a bit sore today. It's a run day and I'm in my running clothes ready to go when it gets light out. I really don't want to but I know I need to. Back to work next week and I may only have 1 day I can run. Will put a damper on my training but I'm determined to run the full 5k in November.
7/23 - It'll go back up. Not enough water yesterday. Did, however, leave myself out of a Dairy Queen ice cream trip. I wanted it so bad, but I know what ice cream does to me and I forced myself to not give in. Run went well, really pushed myself hard. Last full weekend with kids before they go back to Kansas for the school year ):

@musicsax I eat no grain (this week has been grain loaded) my fruits are extremely limited because of the carbs. Occasional berries and generally one nectarine per season (LOL) fortunately, I don’t like bananas and they don’t like me. My old WW leader said “no one ever got fat from eating bananas” and I believed him. But pineapple and watermelon resulted in my regaining 30 pounds. Eat fruit, insulin spike, insulin crash, eat more fruit, repeat. No one ever suggested I was eating too much - at that time the were promoted as free fruits. I’m much more a carnivore so even my vegetables are limited. I love asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and spinach. Even those have carbs so I weigh portions. I could easily eat way too many carbs with them - and I have. I used to roast a tray of broccoli and cauliflower and snack on the whole thing while my husband was at cards! He eats none of those vegetables, his only veg love is CORN!
