Round 252
February 26 - March 6, 2024

Please join us starting on 2/26 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 252.

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

    Just Give Me 10 Days Rnd 251 (my 6th)
    SW Rnd 251: 136.2
    EW Rnd 251EW: 135.0
    Rnd loss: 1.2 lbs
    Overall loss: 12.0 lbs since 1/1/24

    Previous rounds:
    SW Rnd 246: 147.0
    SW Rnd 247: 143.4
    SW Rnd 248: 140.8
    SW Rnd 249: 140.6
    SW Rnd 250: 137.2

    Goals this round:
    * continue logging daily- it helps!
    * no “mindless munching”- be aware of what I eat
    * be kind to myself and enjoy life!
    * break 136 and never look back

    2/16: 137.0
    2/17: 136.2
    2/18: 136.2
    2/19: 135.0 boom
    2/20: 135.0
    2/21: 136.2
    2/22: 136.2
    2/23: 135.0
    2/24: 137.0
    2/25: 135.0

    2/25: whatever was yesterday morning about? I was so surprised by the bump that I weighed myself in the afternoon again-I was back to 135, and this morning I am again. Got out the travel scale to confirm. So, this is right and now I'm through all the weekend landmines just in time to wrap up Rnd 251. More important, I've stuck to my goals of the round, so even in the number didn't go down, I'm still feeling the success of meeting the challenge:-) See you all in 252!

    I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

    I'm Crystal! 40 yrs old, wife and mama of 3 (ages 14, 13 & 5)! I counted calories about 5 yrs ago and got down to goal weight. Life got in the way and I stopped being mindful and gained it all back. What I've realized from then to now, is that this truly is a lifestyle. I can't eat any way I want and expect to keep the weight off. At the moment I'm doing OMAD (Started Feb 5th). I'm unsure if I'll stick with this my whole journey or if I'll add another meal for 2 meals a day. I'm also trying to keep my calories still within the 1200 range and watching sugar and carbs. I feel so much better since I've cut back on everything. Once I do get to goal weight, of course I will add some calories back in to maintain.

      ~ I was good all day until my husband wanted pizza. I usually go nuts and eat with my eyes but I didn’t this time.
      ~ I’m still surprised this isn’t higher.. but maybe I have been given some grace here. I did put a rule in place, which was to stop eating when I was full last night. Maybe that was it..
