Round 241
November 8 - 17, 2023

Please join us starting on 11/8 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 241.

Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. You have only one hour to edit your post. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

If you feel your post is too lengthy, you can add spoilers to temporarily hide the information. It is readily available by tapping the SPOILER bar. To create a Spoiler just type or copy [ Spoiler ] xxx [ /Spoiler ] Omit the spaces within the brackets and put your information where I have xxx

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE

    Thank you @quiltingjaine
    I’m traveling to the beautiful UK the last part of this round but will join in for consistency as I can - internet is spotty at the National trust location I’m staying at and no scale. Bringing resistance bands and walking shoes.

    Which part of the UK are you travelling to? I volunteer for the National Trust in the Midlands, but I know some of the more rural properties/land where reception is dodgy.

    We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

    What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

    This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

    We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

    Jen; 46; 5'4"

    About Me:
    This is my thirteenth round and really appreciate having someplace to stay accountable.
    Thanks to a medication I'm on for my mental health and an overeating habit, I managed to gain a lot of weight in the last year or so. On July 4, I stepped on the scale for the first time since I started the med (that is known to cause weight gain) and decided enough was enough. I buckled down and started actually recording my food for the first time in over five years and started walking every day. Now I need motivation to keep going. I'm a mom of five and grandma of one 4yo that I babysit during the week when my daughter is working. We live in the Pacific Northwest where we're entering the rainy season which makes walking a lot harder, and it's my main form of exercise right now. I do have access to gym equipment at our HOA clubhouse, but I still have to walk there and back (takes about 9 minutes).

    RND 229 - SW: 287.8; EW: 280.4 (-7.4)

    RND 236 - SW: 243.4; EW: 243.0 (-0.4) :'(
    RND 237 - SW: 243.0; EW: 237.4 (-5.6) !

    Total Lost: 67.2lbs

    * track food every day
    * walk for at least one hour and/or 3.5-4 miles every day
