    My weight has been going the wrong direction since about the beginning of May. It's time to refocus.

    6/30: 146.2. Yesterday, I did about an hour walk on the treadmill and a 30 minute walk outside in the evening. I started the day tracking food, but didn't keep at it all day. Today's goal is to track everything, do a treadmill run, and a walk outside.

    7/1: 146.2. Tracked all food yesterday and went for a walk outside. I did not get to the gym to run though. Same goals for today: track, walk and run.

    7/2: 144.4. Goodbye to some excess water weight (finally). Yesterday was a good day, as far as eating. I logged everything and was under my goal. I went for a walk, but wasn't able to get to the gym to run since my husband worked late and I had to stay home with our kids. I'm really hoping I can go tonight.

    7/3: 145.3. I had pasta for dinner last night. Pasta always makes me hold onto some water weight. I stayed in calorie goal. I ran 4 miles on the treadmill (finally got to the gym!) and went for 2 walks.

    7/4: 145.0. I met my goals yesterday: food was within calorie goal, I went for a walk and a 3 mile treadmill run. I don't think we have any plans for the 4th that will derail me today, so I'm aiming for another good day today.

    Been travelling the last two weeks, back home now!

    6/30: DNW

    7/1: DNW

    7/2: DNW

    7/3: DNW

    7/4: 81.9 - oh boy really! I mean I did only fly in yesterday and I did have very puffy feet on the flight (I think I need to invest in compression socks) so I'm expecting some of that to be fluid retention and go in the next couple of days. Even so, not quite the result I wanted, but I shouldn't be surprised, I ate too much sugar, and too little vegetables while away. However, back home now and back eating normally and hopefully we'll get that number back down

    @SModa61 Ahh yes, those days of working for WW. I had one lady who “had to” take off her stud earrings! This on an old balance scale that I had to re-zero after EVER client!

    @ReignFromAshes One of my favorite stories of ME from the last 8 years is this one-

    In the summer of 2019 my dear friend kept telling me I was “tiny” but I didn’t believe her until I saw someone watching me dry off when I got out of the community pool. I couldn’t figure out WHO that (rude) small lady was staring at me until I realized she was wearing MY BATHING SUIT! OMG!! SHE was ME!!! I AM tiny!

    I need to get my act together and get back to that “tiny” lady! We can do it TOGETHER!

    Yes I've been there too, shocked at a tiny lady looking at me & then realising it was my reflection! I'd like to get rid of those stubborn 7 pounds to be back there again too!

    ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 188.8

    06/30-189.0 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 190.5)

    07/01 – 188.8 ✅ (Trend Weight – 190.4)

    07/02- 190.0 ❌ (Trend Weight – 190.4)

    07/03-188.8 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 190.2) Okay, right back down to the weight I was before my disgusting binge. NOW, to start making progress although I must be honest and say it may not be during this Holiday Independence Day weekend! I’ll do my best but Saturday’s BBQ and Sunday’s weigh in is going to be tough. At least there are enough days left in the round to bring it back around if I apply myself!

    💥💥💥 07/04-DNW 💠 - (Trend Weight: DNW) Today is my no-weigh Friday and it’s just as well. I must confess that yesterday was not a good day on any level. I did get in a bit of intentional exercise but only about half of what I have been aiming for. Diet was WAY off as the 250th birthday party for the USA was off to a pretty big start yesterday made possible by my lovely foodie daughter and DGS. Today should be an okay food day as our family BBQ will not be until tomorrow (Saturday). I may skip weighing in on Sunday as it would just be a temporary bloat and misrepresentation. I don’t need the scale to tell me that if I partake in the typical foods at our BBQ’s I will bloat and gain. Today most of my children have gone kayaking or tubing down river. I am taking care of all the littles. 3 of them age 4-7. Maybe I’ll get in more steps today? Happy Birthday America!

    07/08-xxxxx- (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

    07/09-xxxxx- (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    6/30 - 168.8

    7/01 - 166.5

    7/02 - 166.3

    7/03 - 166.1

    7/04 - 166.0 - Asking for prayers, half my town is under water due to catastrophic and historical flooding of our river. I am safe but so many are not. Missing persons, fatalities, entire houses swept away with their occupants. It was described as a 30ft wall of water than came and washed everything away. Some escaped but couldn't save their pets. The river went from 7ft at midnight to over 29ft by 4am. The rain has continued to pour at a steady rate since (it's now nearly 1pm) and is forecast to rain until this evening with more rain coming tomorrow. Our power has flickered but we are okay and live up on a hill over 15 miles from the river but to see the photos and videos of my town under that fast-flowing river over triple its normal size has broken my heart. Hug your loved ones close

    I wanted to respond to your decision to not get a food scale (not on the counter?) I broke down and purchased one two years ago when I started this challenge… I began to measure the foods that I eat most often to possess a strong visual. After a few weeks I no longer “needed” the scale - could just “eye” it.

    The scale still sits on my counter unnoticed (small & hiding) and I rarely use it… But it’s there for when I want a new food or when my portions start getting bigger 🫣. Since my personal challenge is portion control, I cannot tell you the # of times I’ve had to lessen the amount I first decided to serve myself … It has been an invaluable tool in my journey. Size matters 🤪

    June 30: 151 

    July 1: 146.2 

    So whatever I’ll take it! 

    July 2: 145.4

    Lots of veggies. I forget just how much centering both lunch and dinner around veggies make a huge impact.  

    July 3 145.3 

    When maintenance is celebrated! Also planning ahead cuz of social events this week 

    July 4  145.7 - oops already two chocolate cookies today! Not plans tonight. It’s too hot plus we have a dog and we don’t want him to get freaked out from the noise.
    Bracing myself for dinner party tomorrow …

    Also realizing that wfh means I don’t walk the usual 3k steps I used to get to and from parking lot and walking to lunch or meetings on campus. I have to replace that.

    @itladyee my goal is to lose at least 0.5 lbs. by the end of this round. I've had good progress just aiming for the baby sized "wins". No clue what my real goal will be, I guess it will in the midrange of what health charts say for my height and frame which is about 120. But I am willing to trade some of that in exchange for fewer wrinkles. Plus I prefer a little extra fat for making hormones and minimizing loose skin.

    I am the SLOWEST loser. But I am good with that. Plus I am practicing the "eating more/exercising more" method to correct a bad metabolism wrecked by all the diet years and inflammatory junk. I eat at least 1500 quality calories and I burn an avg of 2000 a day (garmin). No fasting. I exercise a lot - 2.5 to 3 hours daily but it's easy-med intensity and a good variety of activities I enjoy.

    7/1 - 138.1 lbs.

    7/2 - Oopsie forgot to weigh in

    7/3 - 137 (YAY!!!!!!!!!!!)

    7/4 - skipping today

    Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 300 
    June 30 – July 9, 2025

    63 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida). 
    SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
    SW MFP Sept 14, 2020  – 153 (lost 40, then stress loss if2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress gain)
    SW MFP Jan 1, 2023  – 146.6

    GW Maintaining between 124 – 126 SW: 127.6 Since my weight is slowing coming back down, I’ve added back in history details INCLUDING my maintenance numbers. In January, it seemed silly including my goal was to maintain 124 – 126 when I was weighing 138. Those maintenance numbers are in sight now. Just need to get there. 

    SW: 130.2

    6/30 – 130.4

    7/1 – DNW

    7/2 – 131.0 Is it possible I did not report in for TWO days. I knew I skipped the scale yesterday, and then did not post. I had no idea until this morning that I did not show up here on Monday as well. So I skipped two, but the good news is that I ONLY skipped two. The bad news is also that I skipped two. :P Going to sit here and pre-track my day. Gotta get myself in order. Was in a good place last week. I need to return. Happy July everyone – only a day late!

    7/3 – 128.8 Yesterday, was thoughtful. The only negative for the day was that I splurged on a cappuccino at the restaurant last night, and forgot to say decaf. Had a great evening until I could….not….fall….asleep, and I remembered I forgot to say decaf. Not sure how many hours of sleep I got last night, but certainly not what one wants. I wonder if I am going to get hit with withdrawls today. Otherwise, today should be good. :)

    7/3 – 129.2 Posting super late today. Was up cooking early to bring things to my daughter, who hosted today. Middle of the day was party, which included my 88 year old, now disabled, mom. After running around with that (though a nice day), drove home, packed and cleaned some more, loaded the car and drove to Maine. Sitting on the couch now waiting for the fireworks out our window.

    I'm confused about all the Happy 250th. Isn't it 249 this year? I thought this was 249 and we are BEGINNING the 250th.

    I resorted to google given who knows what I think or know anymore these days, but my search got me this: "The 250th anniversary of the United States will be on July 4, 2026. This milestone marks 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The nation is planning a year-long commemoration leading up to this date, with celebrations and events across the country."

    @quiltingjaine I had one of those "stud ladies" too. My other favorites was the one that went into the bathroom and came out wearing only a trash bag and made us weigh her in it. Another similar one, the woman handed me her coat and made me weigh in. Then she went in the bathroom, striped naked, put on her coat, came out and made me weigh her, but subtract the weight of her coat. Of course this is all illogical, but really showed how much losing weight can be quite the mind game.

    @Chapter_3 Love the photo.

    @_JeffreyD_ not sure where a food scale was first mentioned for you. But pardon me for chiming in on the value of it as a training tool. In the home, I use mine many times a day (which might be too much for many). But all that repeat measuring certainly helps for those times when I need to estimate.

    @CamandJarvis I am SO very sorry. Glad to hear you are ok. While I was scrambling to pack, I was hearing something odd on the news, but did not catch the story. How awful! I will certainly have your community in my prayers.
