@quiltingjaine - I have wondered about the history of JGMTD. As we are now on round 279, that is 2790 days, or 7.64 YEARS. How did you happen to take it over, and when?

It amazes me to think of 2790 days but time really does fly.

It is my understanding that the thread was begun by @hillcrestbaby but I have never seen a post by her(?) My first post was in June, 2017 when I said I would become a regular after 3 short trips with friends. So for me round 7 was the beginning. At the time, I believe @GrandmaJackie was starting all of the rounds. When she needed a break around round 140-ish I think a few of us helped - @TerriRichardson112 , @musicsax and I are the ones I remember. My first “regular” post was 147, I think, and I’ve been doing it ever since with assistance from @musicsax when I’ve been without internet or when MFP changed things and my old brain couldn’t figure it out!

I will be honest and say that recently I have considered passing the torch but I think if I do that I might just drift away and I really don’t want to lose this lifeline. 😘❤️😘❤️

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

Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

"Do or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

I don’t remember who said what in round 276 but something in my brain clicked. I am getting back to my old routine of longer daily fasts - at least 18 hours which includes sleep time.

Comments pertain to previous day

SW RND 279 133.5
11/22 133.0 YAY TMI! Got lots of steps (for me) yesterday at Walmart but when I checked my Vivofit4 it was black. I’ve had it for 202 days. I’m not happy.
11/23 133.5 meh, headache El Pollo Loco
11/24 134.0 Great Greek, chicken souvlaki and small salad.
11/25 135.0 WTH??? The result of 2 small FLOUR tortillas in the last 2 days??? Art Quilts, etc potluck today
11/26 135.0 After the food selection at the potluck I’m surprised I didn’t go up. There were only 2 mains and about 20 desserts. Steak and sweet potato today and maybe a protein shake.
11/27 134.5 Baking pies today and praying for daughter as she has her knee fixed.

musicsax

@quiltingjaine - thinking of your daughter too, hope all goes well for her & that she has a quick recovery.
We definitely don't want to lose you, but I can understand that at times it must be a bit of a burden, I'm here if you want a break, but not if you want an excuse to drop out lol 😆. I think of so many of the regulars in the group as distant friends & your input is always valued.

11/26 -191.4- (Trend weight-191.0-) What a mess I am in the middle of. My crew has been sanding their butts off on my primary suite project and the dust is everywhere! Thick!!! To make matters worse, it all has to be cleaned up and all the furniture temporarily moved back in for the holidays including Christmas. All moved in onto the sub floor. Room is not near done but it will have to serve as my bedroom again until after Christmas. It will be nice to have my living room back as that is where my bed has been and where I’ve been sleeping. Everything is covered in a fine mist and the floor was covered in heaps and piles through the entire main floor over these past few days. I just couldn’t keep up. I worked my butt off yesterday and will be back at it again today using the shop vac etc. Last night I got 4 blinds cleaned in two rooms. I worked until my arms fell off. I did not eat good but I did burn a lot of extra calories. I just have to get through this. Our family Feast will be on Saturday.

11/27 -191.8- (Trend weight-191.0-) Well, the last of the fresh baked yeast breads from the festival are now gone with the last two slices being eaten as delicious toast this morning. If I can get through this week without too much further damage then I’m hopeful that things can begin to turn around next week (after my weekend Thanksgiving feast). But I will be tip-toeing from now until then to minimize the damage. I won’t lie, I will be eating pie on Saturday. I only do that twice per year and I’m looking forward to it. It wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without pie! Otherwise, I’ll be taking the high road and practicing as much portion control as I can muster. It’s a plan!

Hi! I’m Amanda, 5’2”, 39F in Virginia.

SW RND 279: 130.4
GW RND 278: 130.4

Set my goal to just maintain this round. A trip to MIL's, including Thanksgiving, in between two weekends. Whoof. I won't have a scale 11/25-11/30, and our last weigh-in of this round is the day after a day of road food. I feel like even maintaining is ambitious but I'm going to do the best I can under the circumstances!

NS GOALS:
🏃🏻‍♀️ or 🏋🏻‍♀️ 5/10 days
🚫 no drinking 4/10 days
📝 track food 5/10 days
(tracked for the previous day)

11/22 - 129.8!! 🏃🏻‍♀️📝 Yay, broke into the 120s by the skin of my teeth. Surprising since we went out for an unplanned Brazilian dinner. I chose a steak salad which is was a good choice (and verrrry delicious). I did have 1 beer, which was not a very good choice, but not the end of the world either. The accomplishment was that it lasted until I finished my dinner despite a very long wait for food, and I didn't feel inclined for another when we got home. I ran 6 miles yesterday, and have to walk the dogs and do a short run today. I would like to lift weights but I don't feel too optimistic about fitting it in between 3 meetings and the cardio and other work I have to do. Also want to get the oil changed on my van before we drive 500 miles next week and prep some kind of dinner, maybe chili? Happy Friday!!!

11/23-130.0🏃🏻‍♀️📝 Not too bad as far as Fridays go. DH took over the weekend meals. He recently went to a conference in Malta and is now on a Mediterranean diet kick which is just fine with me! Last night was spaghetti and salad with toast and good olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Tonight is salmon, and I’m sure, salad with olive oil and vinegar. I’m going to see Wicked today and haven’t strategized when and how to eat. Definitely going to have to squeeze lunch in before the 12:25 showing. Maybe I can share a “small” popcorn with DS.

11/24 - 129.6 📝 Wow, never have I ever weighed less on Sunday than Saturday, lol! We’ll see if there is a rebound tomorrow, the last day I’ll have a scale until the last day of the round. When I tracked late last night I ended up around maintenance calories. It’s always kind of a crapshoot though. Today is just getting ready for our big trip tomorrow and trying to not leave the house a total pig sty for the house sitter. Oh and I have to run 4 miles or so. Sunday Funday, the adult version!

11/25 - 130.6 🏃🏻‍♀️ I’d normally be pleased to be up less than a pound after the weekend but I have to change this trajectory going into a week at MIL’s. Not on track for that on the road today. Breakfast burrito containing fried chicken and bacon, fried chicken wrap and pretzel fries for lunch at Burger King, ugh. I need a salad shop with a playground please?! Dinner will be lasagna after we get there. Trying to drink as much water as I can without increasing bathroom stops. Hoping I can channel some recent success into not being completely off the rails all week!

11/26 - DNW
11/27 - 🏃🏻‍♀️ DNW. Just checking in as a reminder to myself to think before I eat all the things. Family time has me very busy. My MIL is serving “Swedish dinner” tonight and Thanksgiving tomorrow. I don’t know how she does it; I would be so overwhelmed! My kids have 6 cousins here to play with which is the very best! Good to catch up with sibs-in-law as well. Lake effect snow is predicted Friday-Monday here and we’re leaving Saturday, so I’m a little anxious about that (but also excited to see snow since we hardly got any last winter in VA!)

That’s quite true. I also started in Round 7 in June 2017. I have been popping in occasionally to see how you are all doing, but my weight changes so little these days that I have got out of the habit of logging it daily.

I’m still here, though, and it’s good to see so many familiar usernames. So many left when MFP removed the newsfeed.

@reshii_devi
I read your post. I’m wonderfully blessed you are back. Definition of courage right there. An incredible Thanksgiving present for yourself and this group. I’ve missed you.
She’s BACK!

Wow. Just wow. I didn’t see that coming (Not that I should or anything, because I don’t know you….) What an incredibly brave step. Healthy and wise. Love in action. Thinking of and honoring your legacy.

(I have a “God Jar”…. sitting right next to my bed…. Four tightly folded-up petitions in a jelly jar. These burdens are much too heavy for me to carry. And yes, He has them.) 🙏
