07/12-DNW 💠 - (Trend Weight: DNW)

07/13-192.2 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 191.1) Horrified! But my daughter doesn’t shove it in my mouth, I do! I prep cooked at 10:00 last night to give myself two very nice diet approved meals. One for tonight and one for the next day, most likely. It should help me get back on track. I just need to get through today and right now, I’m feeling disgusted enough to be strong. Hopefully it will stay that way. I’ve still got time to turn this thing back around somewhat before the end of the challenge. It’s time to take a good look at myself in the mirror, as Michael would say. It’s time for me to change my ways.

💥💥💥 07/14-192.2 💠 . - (Trend Weight: 191.2) Good Day, bad late-night. Not hunger so no reason except psychological. I need to tackle this. Exercise was the best it has been in awhile. Water average but better than lately. Everything lined up until it didn’t at the witching hour. I suppose today is another opportunity to be successful.

Thank you so much for the well wishes for my back… skipped one day of 🏋️‍♀️and am now good to go!
I missed checking in yesterday for the first time in just under two years. I’m busy catching up reading everyone’s posts. I will not follow my usual format until I get home from the beach. I ended up having an ice cream cone last night after a long, terrific day but guess what… So what?! I made a decision to not track while on this trip but to simply play it smart. We are having a terrific time. I’ve read through everyone’s posts, and I am impressed with the support and encouragement offered the past few days… I miss you all so much!

I have not 🏋️‍♀️, but I have gone way over 10k steps each day… as I write this I’m already over 10k today. Brought resistance bands & jump rope, but they haven’t been engaged yet.
Below is my version of a protein bowl: arugula, super blend, green onion, baked chicken, spaghetti squash & avocado. Drizzle of EVO & fresh lemon. LOVE! Whoever said eating healthy is boring or not satisfying? Zero denial here. But I must admit, it’s been a long journey getting me to the point where I am 100% satisfied with this lunch! I love it!

Sending 💪🏻 intentions to all!

Goals for every round;

First and foremost, no feeding frenzies – I am not a shark or even a piranha!

be happy because I feel that I have made the round count at the end

I need to remain consistent - it does work! I aim to lose a pound this round. Good luck for success everyone.

Hello I'm Darlene, retired, 64-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). I started my journey in January 2023, and over the last two years have lost about 90 pounds, give or take a couple. I got to my goal weight in the last quarter of 2024, and now tackling the maintenance phase.

My Stats

Highest Weight 228
Goal Weight: 140 - The top of the Ideal weight category, doctor says that's good enough, but honestly I like to be a few pounds under for a buffer.

Picked some raspberries for my morning breakfast while on my walk yesterday. Yum. Then out for a lunch date, did ok with food choices and did my best to log them, I did have a beer. Counted that as my big meal and just had a light dinner before heading out to see Mom. At the end of the day, I still had 71 calories left despite going out, I'll take that as a win.

Every Monday night my sisters and I go to the Knights of Columbus Bingo night with Mom (87 YO). She won twice last night; a whopping $45 (she had to split them) but yelling bingo always puts her in a good mood. First time in a while I haven't met my daily step count, or get my Fly Lady chores done. Extra duty today! It's going to be a hot and steamy one so need to get out for our walk early.

ldcritt · July 15

7/10 - 169.8 - planned my food for the day. Includes lunch w/ golf buddies as too hot/humid to golf now.

7/11 - 169.0 - local seafood market I buy from having special on lobster rolls today. I'm buying one for dinner. Planning trip to gym for Strength workout. Cardio afterwards. Going to be a good Friday!!

7/12 - 167.2 - friends coming to my house today. Beautiful day to go to the beach! Now, if I can stay away from her baked goodies. Her hubby doing some minor repairs at my house.

7/13 - 167.6 - prepping meals for the future today.

7/14 - 168.0 - book club and lunch. This sounds awful, but the member who is hosting is having memory problems. Her luncheons have not been good, so hopefully won't be a challenge not to overindulge. She doesn't want to give up hostess duties as she has enough awareness to know "something" going on within her. Other members are supporting her…..who knows what our futures will be.

7/15 - 168.6 - Spent the afternoon and evening trying to keep lunch down. I had no problem not overindulging!!

Male: 68
6’-2”
OSW: 237.8 (Nov. 2016.) I was actually at 250 in 2011 or so…
OGW: 199 (just to say I did)
Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205

Simple Daily Goal for this round, celebrate what I accomplish and learn from what I don’t accomplish. Find out what works for me:
-Log Food. ✏️
-Meet CI/CO target, net 1500. 🎯
-Exercise minimum 20 minutes. More if possible.💓

This is my posting format….
Month/Day: Scale Reading first thing today before getting dressed. / Goals met ✏️🎯💓/ Comment

7/09/25 : 224.4 SW before.

7/10: 223.6
✏️🎯💓
A good start to the round thanks to reasonable eating and excellent exercise. I rode my bike about 19 miles; about half of it was in heart rate zone 3. The bad part was it was the heat of the day. I downed a liter of LMNT drink during the ride and immediately afterward.

We belong to a CSA (community supported agriculture.) The farmer gives us a bag full of freshly picked veggies every Tuesday, based on what is ripe this week. This week had the most beautiful kale I have ever seen. That is where my appreciation for kale stops. BUT, DW stir fried it with a bunch of other veggies and it changed everything. Very delicious.

Happy Birthday to Jeff. So, I will have two opportunities for ice cream today. 😊 I hope I can maintain this number.

7/11: 225.2
Goals kicked to the curb during a carb packed birthday food fest. Now back to reality.

Thank you all for the Happy Birthday wishes!

7/12: 227.6

Continued birthday excuse for me today. I really didn’t deny myself anything yesterday. I did well with protein intake, but carbs high again. Good news is the pie is gone and so are the baked beans. I expected an increase but I will say the 2.4 pound “jump” did surprise me.

7/13: 226.0
✏️🎯💓
Amazing what a little bit of discipline will produce. Good exercise to go with a lot of sedentary reading yesterday. Trying for another day of limited damage.

7/14: 224.0
✏️🎯💓
Bright side – I am lower than this round’s SW.
Dark side – my birthday celebrations trashed my ten-day average for the round.
Striving to meet ALL my goals,

7/15: 223.0
✏️🎯💓
OK I have a three-day streak for meeting all goals. That has helped.

I need to conserve calories during breakfast and lunch because we are having a “light dinner” at friend’s after going to the F1 movie this afternoon. They always go over the top with food so be prepared. Drinks will be involved. (I will avoid popcorn at the theater for sure.)

As the most interesting man in the world might say, “I don’t always watch racing, but when I do, it’s Formula 1.”

I need to do some serious thinking about packing for a trip to the Rockies next week.

@iLive2Walk

Just love the fact you attend weekly bingo with your sisters & mom… I imagined her shouting “bingo” - Love! Now reminiscing of my darling mom… Gone now almost 25 yrs (would be 95 this month). I’m sure you cherish each moment.

My mom set a wise example for us. In her early 50s she started “Jazzercise” classes (retired teacher). While the men in my family were all superior athletes, she tended toward “still” life (ceramics, bridge, etc,). When she picked up Jazzercise, we all cheered her on! She did not need to “work” on her figure… She watched what she ate with precision tho. In my parents retired years, they embraced an active, healthy lifestyle. I am thankful for their example. I understand how food habits can be generational and I am more than thankful for the leg up.

I understand this post is not directly related to “JGMTD”, but I find that in this stage of my journey, I must continue to examine the “what & why” I am the way I am… My firm belief that mind/body/soul must all be fully nurtured to strive for my best self.

Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 302
July 10 - 19, 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: 128.0

7/10 – 129.0 The ice cream I bought for my sister (arriving tonight) is now gone. I guess I pre-gamed my stress eating that typically happens when she is here. She’ll be staying with us until mid-day Monday. All around, I am going to try and handle things better. Oh, I did the math. I was about 1500 calories over by the time I got done. :’(

7/11 – 128.4 Made it through yesterday fine. Planned ahead and tracked completely. I did go over my target by 100, but thoughtfully decided to. Not an uncontrolled binge. My big success was that I weighed out a portion of ice cream (gram setting on scale) and tracked it, instead to treating the whole container as a single portion, which is not uncommon for me.

7/12 – 127.6 Good to see these numbers again. I think is was round 299 that I saw them for a couple days. I handled yesterday well again. No binge eating. Again, weighed ice cream. Sister asked me what I was doing, by weighing the ice cream. I told her that I have no “stop” button, and she laughed (not a mean one). Sis and I are very different. She was voted best body AND most likely to succeed for her graduating class. I always joked that that getting both was not fair. Sis has NEVER had eating problems. Anyhow, today, I’ve got some projects and at the end of the day I am babysitting both grandkids ALONE for the first time ever. I am bringing my electric ice cream maker that has not been used in at least 10 years. Curious what a 5 and 2 year old will think of that. Last night, DD fell on a step and was at urgent care. Claim is bad sprained ankle of her right (driving) foot. Hopefully tonight is on for her and my babysitting.

Have a good day all!

7/13 – 127.2 Had a good day. Closing back in on the 127.0 that I saw a couple rounds ago. Yesterday went well, though according to my tracking I did go over, but everything was accounted for. Babysitting the boys went well and gives me confidence enough to say I can do it again. :) Yay! Today is fairly busy with mom visits and working on the stuff in her apartment. I am trying to continually keep ahead of “stuff” collecting there. We are ordering pizza to be delivered to the assisted living for dinner. Two slices and that is it.

7/14 – 127.4 Did well (enough) yesterday. Happy with the X.4 as it is the same general number as the X.2 from yesterday. Did have two slices of a deluxe topped pizza and measured ice cream at dinner time. Was spot on. Then I saw some pretzels leftover from hubby’s Saturday fishing trip. I got into them, but stopped at about two servings, putting me over by about 250 cal for the day. I am ok with this. Sis leaves today, so I think I have handled her visit well from the point of view of not binging. NOW, I need to make sure I don’t do a POST visit binge. Yes, I have done that a number of times. Dinner tonight is at MIL’s, she is serving tripe to those that eat it. Not me. I should be ok not overeating this evening. :P

7/15 – 128.0 so yes, sis leaving did let me let loose a bit. I had eaten enough calories for the day before noon. Afternoon went well. MIL’s went well. I hardly ate from the non-tripe food, which was fine as (No surprise) as I was not hungry due to my actions earlier in the day. This worked out well as I fed and played with 2 yr old DGS#2 while mom got to enjoy a meal. Came home, and was still not hungry but proceeded to get into some ice cream and most of a box of black liquorice crows. Today will be good. Busy, and hubby is eating out. I’ll sort myself. Let’s see what tomorrow brings.

7/15 🏖️Day 3

Yesterday: 🚶‍♀️16k, healthy macros, appropriate portions. Good water. First time @ beach vacay with 🚫alcohol. Do NOT miss it at all! Especially after viewing so many “over-drinking” parents around their children. Am I judging? Yes. No apologies here.
We also made the decision to eat-in all meals @ the condo - prepare, eat, clean-up all as a family… It’s been wonderful family time! (Both hubby & I enjoy all things kitchen). However, I’m almost 67 & have always made dining out a primary activity for most meals while on vacay… This has been a wonderful change of pace and deeply satisfying.

Have a great day! 🏖️

7/10: 214

7/11: 214 - I did get my exercise in yesterday but the stress from just personal life sunk in and I binged on snacks last night. The day started off better then it ended but today is a new day.

7/12: 214

7/13: 213

7/14: 212 - Didn't do much over the weekend. I loved the taste of Oath protein (the clear ones) so I bought some more before Amazon Prime days were over. This time I bought the Coconut one and it arrived yesterday. I haven't tried it yet but plan on working it into my macros today. The lemon one was so good and I pray this flavor is just as good! Trying to motivate myself into working out, I have been so tired lately. I think I may need to look into taking a B12 supplement. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good quality B12?

7/15: 215 It's so odd that our weight fluctuates as much as it does. Although it's not a good feeling that the weight went up, I still like weighing everyday to help keep me accountable. I tried the Coconut Pina Colada clear protein shake and it's just as good as the lemon one! I think these will be my new favorites for a while. I only got in one 30 minute exercise yesterday. I had planned for two 30 minute sessions. I feel like I juggle so much and I am all over the place. I have plans written out and time blocked off, I just have to be more mindful of sticking to my plans. Today's schedule only allows me a 30 minute exercise session but I will see what I can do to add some additional activity. 😊

7/12: 143.1
7/13 144.3
7/14: 143.5

7/15: 145.3. Despite the large increase, yesterday was not that bad of a day. Maybe a bit high on carbs, causing additional water weight? It was a rest day from running, but did go on a walk.

Thank you @musicsax !!!!!🌸💚🌸

7/11-139-Helping at the quilt shop for a special sale. We get fed lunch and I try to walk around as much as I can to get my steps in and it’s usually a three day thing. I can only help today and will go play pickle ball first, early this morning, drink my special protein packed drink and not eat the free lunch or the snacks offered.

7/12-137-Stuck to my plan and am glad. Off to see our adult boys and meet the parents of one of the girlfriends. Will get to see my dad too. Won’t be around a scale until Tuesday.

7/15-138-Spent two nights at my dads (it was wonderful to see him) and had to eat out a couple of times during the trip, but made fairly wise choices and went to play pickle ball when we got home yesterday. Back on track today.

164. Scale flickered at 163.8 this morning, but didn’t stay. Tried taking my socks off but no luck socks don’t weigh that much 😂

Started P90X3 yesterday - Beachbody workout. Really liking it and completely kicked my behind! I have done Beachbody workouts for the past 12 years but had fallen off lately. It’s humbling to start again but I believe in myself.

@CamandJarvis wishing you safety, sorry for what you and your community are going through.

MTW70 · July 15

Restarting, after a long absence... I've found success on MFP and this group in the past and ready to do it again. I was slender and fit my entire life until menopause hit in my early 40s and have been struggling with my weight ever since. I will be doing well with my fitness and lifestyle choices and then either life stresses or recently injuries cause a set back and I gain 20 lbs. (or more) super quick. This will be my 4th time in 8 years to lose this weight. Determined to make it the last time I have to do this!

2018 SW = 172.0 lbs. End Weight = 141.5 lbs.

2022 SW = 193.9 lbs. End Weight = 143.6 lbs.

2024 SW = 165.8 lbs. End Weight = 144.6 lbs.

Start Weight on 7/6/25 = 169.7lbs. Goal Weight = Under 145 lbs. (5'4, 55-year-old female)

Goals for Round 302: I will be on vacation the last few days of this round, goal is to bank some good weight loss in the days before vacation to hopefully start Round 303 no higher than this round's starting weight.

End Round 301: 167.7 lbs.

7/10: 167.4 lbs. I'm recovering from an injury - currently on week 5 of an expected 8-to-10-week recovery, so mostly sedentary all day, steps have dropped from my usual 10-20,000 per day to well under 2,000 daily. I have started in the last few days some non-weight baring exercises to keep my body somewhat moving but my calorie burn is obviously way down…weight loss will be slow until I can start moving again like normal but committed to persevere!

7/11: 167.4 lbs. No change on the scale from yesterday but it was a successful day none the less. Ate within my plan and seems like 5 days in, the crazy hunger of always wanting something (specifically junk) is at bay and the food noise has quieted. If nothing else, I am feeling better eating healthier!

7/12: 167.6 lbs. no reasons for a real gain, just weighed in a couple hours earlier today than usual, chalking this up to normal body fluctuations. I'm eating well and, in a deficit, and finding small ways to exercise that don't impact my injury, so these are all positive changes. Change on the scale will eventually happen, right now I'll just focus on creating sustainable life choices that work for me long term.

7/13: 167.7 lbs. Had a nice, relaxing day yesterday and got in two 20-minute floor workouts that were non-weight baring, ate within my calorie deficit and got to bed early. Today marks 1 week without any alcoholic beverages, which feels great! My plan is not to give up alcohol completely but I'm certainly limiting it during this weight loss journey. Thinking the 167.4 weigh in was the anomaly and this is an accurate weight for where I am today. Eventually the work being put in will be reflected on the scale.

7/14: 166.5 lbs. There's that whoosh I've been looking for! I made a concerted effort to move more yesterday and tackled a bunch of laundry that needed to be put away and ended up decluttering and organizing my closet - that added in about an extra 1,000 steps to my day. The extra time on my feet seems okay on my injury, so will keep trying to get in a few more easy steps where I can.

7/15: 165.5 lbs. Yesterday was my highest step count in weeks since I injured my foot, yay! So happy to see some progress in my mobility and then even better to see it reflected on the scale :) I was "influenced" yesterday to start an arm workout program I saw on TikTok, all the posts kept saying how challenging it was but that it was only 6-7 minutes, I though how challenging could that be….turns out in fact it is! It's a 14-day workout plan, on to day 2 today.

SW Rnd 302 132.0

7/10 133.0 I actually had a small serving of angel hair and fresh sourdough bread. I expected the uptick to be worse.

7/11 134.0 Late salty supper? Or continued reaction to carby dinner the night before? I’ll ride the wave 🏄‍♀️ 🌊 I did something to my knee just walking in the house yesterday. I plan to go to water fitness but I’m not sure about some of the exercises.

7/12 133.5 (corrected my dates) Yesterday was a good day. My knee feels better but not perfect. Will take it easy but I think I need to make a couple of loaves of bread for friends.

7/13 132.0 I didn’t make bread yesterday. Met DD and DGGS for lunch and DSIL joined us briefly after his eye appointment.

7/14 132.0 Terrible night, couldn’t get to sleep. T-bone and asparagus for OMAD today. Need to mix up a couple of protein shakes to have on hand, if needed. Edit: Finally TMI after 3 days

7/15 132.0 I was going to see if the widow neighbor wanted to go to Golden Corral today because DH is going to lunch with our blind friend but I feel I have had my eating under control the last 2 days and I don’t want to blow it. Neighbor had mentioned that she doesn’t enjoy eating out alone.

~~7/10~~ - 164.5

~~7/11~~ - 164.0

~~7/12~~ - 165.4

~~7/13~~ - DNW

~~7/14~~ - DNW

~~7/15~~ - 167.1 - Expected. I honestly expected worse. I did well with macros until after dinner. LittleBro wanted a banana smoothie and ended up ripping the stems off of ALL the bananas instead of just the two. When BF found out, he requested banana bread. I was concerned I wouldn't get a piece of it if I didn't have some fresh out of the oven, so I indulged in it, despite being out of my macros/deficit. I wasn't over maintenance, though, so that's a bonus. I have about 150 calories left and about 30g protein left in my budget for today that I'll need to figure out a snack around. Otherwise, focusing on water intake and making sure I get my steps in.

Just Give Me 10 days 302

I am brand new to MFP, just joined on 7/10. I am 57 and just trying to get back into shape. I hope it's okay that I join in.

SW Rnd 302

7/10 190.0
7/10 signed up for My Fitness Pal Thursday evening.

7/11 ---- 189.4
7/11 went pretty well. Hit my protein target and stayed in my calorie limit. Food isn't so much the issue for me. It's the sedentary life that has me stuck. You can't out exercise a bad diet, but you can out exercise a sedentary lifestyle. That being said, I did not exercise today.

7/12 --- 188.8
7/12 Food was on point. I did a short workout. enjoying the newbie loss rate while I have it.

7/13 ---- 188.2
7/13 - Food was fine. Exceeded protein goal and stayed in my calories. The discovery of clear protein has been a game changer. It was tough to find a non-dairy one, but worth it. Weather was terrible and I had to drive in it. More storms and that had me in so much head pain at my craniotomy site. Seeing my neuro-oncologist next week, so that is on the list of things to address.

7/14 ----187.5
7/14 - Ate Sooooo much watermelon (over a kilo!!) but ended up not eating much else during the day because of headaches. Still hit my protein goal (thanks OWYN!) couldn't sleep becasue I was hungry and made a sandwich so ended up 200 cals over but had under eaten the other days so my calorie average is still okay, just ended up eating later than usual. I try to stop completely at 8pm. No exercise.

7/15 --- 187.8

7/15 - not suprised by the bump due to the amount of watermelon I ate. Could have been worse.
