7/21 231.9
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.
7/26 230.4 Getting closer!

Round Goal: 260
Day/Weight/Comment
7/21 - 262.4 After taking the last round off for a friend's wedding, it's time to get back into it. Have not worked out as I'm still adjusting to the time zone, but I HAVE to tonight. Last wedding got me off track for about 10 days, I can't let that happen again.
7/22 - 259.9 Honestly surprised by a drop. Maybe yesterday's weight was effected by the flights and not working out? Not sure. Ran 2 miles this morning and 1.5 last night. I really hope I can keep this below 260 and this isn't just a water weight loss!
7/23 - 259.3 Ran 2.26 miles this morning. I originally wanted 2 miles, but then I was close to 20 minutes running so I went a little longer, then I was close to 400 calories burned so I went a little longer. Actually feels good to run and kind of want to go again tonight. Also thought of how close I am to 250 and how big that number will be. It'll mark 50 lbs down, a new BMI category and just being 1/2 way to the 100s. Definitely giving me an extra push!
7/24 - 259.3
7/25 - 259.3
7/26 - 257.1 I feel like this drop always happens after the weekend. I'm not sitting at a desk all day so I get up and I have to do lawn work and all that and work out on top of that so a drop always happens for Monday. Woke up and wasn't going to work out but then figured why not get a quick run in to burn calories? Ran until I hit 300 calories burned.

Jeez, calories, just go away! Really cool this morning, so I’m off to do some garden work and then go for a walk.

7/22 - 188.6 - 1811
Same old, same old….

7/23 - 188.8 - 1823
My creativity group met yesterday—chicken salad on croissants and peach cobbler. All delish, all calorie bombs. I didn’t eat dinner but did have popcorn later, so…. Back on track today.

7/24 - 189.6 - 1680
Ah, there’s Thursday’s lunch. Yesterday was better but not where I want to be.

7/25 - 188.4 - 1059
That’s better. It’s hot hot hot today, but not bad right now in the shade. Have a lovely Sunday. Here are some flowers for you from my garden.

7/26 - 187.8 - 1149
Doing better with calories and control. Today is DH’s birthday so special dinner, but I have a plan to control the day’s total. I want to maintain this trend!

My 40th birthday is rapidly approaching (21.days) and I am at a standstill in weight loss. I’ll continue to try but I need something to change things up. Good rest, a new workout routine, something that will work. The childcare at my gym is not opening until September so gym time is limited.

Newbie here ☺️

Restarted my 16:8 IF Tuesday with 3/4 fasting of 1,000 calories. I don’t ban any foods/drinks but I do limit within my normal daily calorie target of 1,450. I find if I am too restrictive I give up quickly.

Target 1.5lbs per week until my clothes fit well. Also trying to exercise min 30 minutes each day. My weight is less important, what is important are my energy levels and measurements.

It’s not unusual when fasting to drop weight at the beginning. I am not expecting any more loss this week.

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. Probably my favorite exercise.
7/26 - 244.8 (-.6) Yesterday’s hike was 5 miles. It was beautiful and the weather was nice. That’s the longest hike this year. I’m definitely getting stronger and my endurance is improving. I can’t wait until next year’s hikes after I lose another 50+ pounds.

I WILL hit the 160's this round!
170.2....170.1....170.0....169.9

7/22 - DNW - Walked
7/23 - 170.1 - Free weights
7/24 - 170.0 - Rowed
7/25 - 169.8 - I've been waiting for the 160's for quite a while. Very glad to have hit it. I'm just grateful that I'm creating healthy habits and losing all the ones that made me feel so horrible. I feel better right now than I have in quite a while. Going to row.

7/26 - 169.9 - IF 17 hrs - I'm going to start tracking my IF hours again just to see what they are. I haven't in a long time because it's automatic for me. I'm never hungry in the mornings and stop eating around 6p.

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.

07/26 …..194.8 ….. What a wonderful day with my friend yesterday! It is so wonderful the connection that two people can have when they grew up together, on the same street, in the same school, in the same grade and classes. We see things the same way with all those shared experiences. Oh, if our children only knew what we know! Happy to see the scale did not move after the delicious lunch. However, we all know it can take a few days to show up so I am going to stay diligent today. Extra water too I hope.

Happy to start this new round off with a loss! Debating whether today is a running day or maybe just a neighborhood walk day...
7/22: 168
7/23: 167.9
Really trying to focus on my goals this round, gotten a little lapse on my water intake. Also thinking instead of limiting alcohol, I need to instead be AF for the rest of this round. Having a glass or two of wine in the evening after dinner, pushes back my eating window for the next day with IF 16/8 & I really like to eat my 1st meal at 11 instead of 1 or 2 in the afternoon.

Enjoyed sleeping in a bit over the weekend, so didn't weigh Saturday & or Sunday, happy to see a loss this morning on the scale! Changing up my food plan for the upcoming few weeks...have 2 trips planned for August and would like to see a little extra movement on the scale before then. I've been consistently losing around 1.5 lbs. per round, would like to improve that to closer to 3 lbs. per round, which is still a somewhat moderate goal.

7/22 165.6 -- Still not great. I went running last night and didn’t drink as much water as I should have to recoup but did stay under calories for the day.
7/23 165.6 -- This is surprising because I had two beers and take-out after run club but at least it’s not a gain.

@Shannonsto - You were asking about swelling of the lower legs and water retention at work. This happened a lot to me as well due to sitting for long periods of time (before I retired). My advice and what worked for me:
1. Get up and walk around for at least 5 min every hour if you spend most of your time sitting. If you are standing all day I have nothing for you! Well except maybe put a pillow under your feet when you sleep.
2. Drink more water ... it is the opposite of what you would think. If you are retaining water then you are probably not drinking enough. Drink at least 6-8 8oz glasses per day. They say that when losing weight take your weight of 180 / 2 = 90. So it is safe to drink 90 oz of water per day. I do not think it is recommended to drink more than 100 oz. My doctor advises me to drink 64-80 oz daily.
3. Cut out sodium ... diet cokes were a big issue for me. If you are drinking more than one each day, then that could be another issue. I've cut back to 1 Diet Coke per week.
4. Monitor your sodium intake.
5. Compression socks are also advised but doing items 1 & 2 above (plus reducing Diet Coke consumption) I was able to reduce the swelling.

Hope that you find what works for you!

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!
7/26 / 169.6 / it's not much but I'll take it!
7/27 / 169.7/ no real change for 3 days, I've been under on calories and moderately active so maybe the change is coming. Just frustrating to see at the moment. Telling my inner critic that it's part of the process and we shouldn't just give up as it's pointless.
