    @Skyleen75 ~ I never imagined when I was in my 30’s how important exercise would be at this age AND how many people would be actively engaged. My parents didn’t exercise. My Mom did bowl.

    To climb steep hills requires a slow pace at first.

    Finally some progress! I realized in the last week I have been having a Hashimotos autoimmune flare, probably for months now, and once I started focusing on bringing down my inflammation, everything started to feel so much better and the weight started moving again. Remind me of this in three weeks when everyone around me is eating wonderful glutinous pizza and beer and telling me to “treat myself” sigh

    @_JeffreyD_ I love that your body is just like “smarten up!!” 😂 

    @itladyee yes I should go back and read the letter later ! What a great idea. Like a promise I make myself

    @musicsax I am so glad Leo is doing well . Organ transplants are so important and I am grateful the family was able to share that gift with him.

    (PS my body is kind of a drama queen. She would have a YouTube channel that was part complaining, part cosy study playlists, part yoga and a few 80’s dance songs!)

    @Deviette Crohn ’s sounds challenging! If it’s anything like my Hashimoto’s- your body brings “the hammer” and makes you rest whether you have time for it or not! Autoimmune fun! Hope it calms down soon.

    @Shetlandmama glad your healing is going well !

    Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 304
    July 30 – August 8, 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: 129.0

    7/30 – 130.0 I missed posting this day, but I did weigh and as the scale shows, I was out of line.

    7/31 – 129.4 Yesterday was spot on. It is now 4 PM on the 31st, and all is well. Will I make it through the whole day. I am somewhat irritated with myself as I have been repeatedly sabotaging myself as I get closer to the wedding. I need to knock it off!!!!

    8/1 – 127.4 I’m so confused…… Yes, yesterday was a second day on target, but such a drop is not logical. Conclusion is that some numbers, the highs or lows are misleading. While yes, I am back up in Maine. I headed up the evening of the 30th, which was a crazy day and why I missed posting. If you recall last round I was up here and questioning my scale due to some low numbers, and wondering if it needed new batteries. Well yesterday, I got a “LO” on my scale, so yes batteries were an issue, so I figured the 129.4 was accurate. Now today, with new batteries, I have a low number. I need to work to keep it!

    Today, DD, SIL, DGS’s #1 and #2, and their two cats, are joining DH, myself and our two cats, in our two bedroom condo for a vacay. Condo is going to get small fast, and food is going to be challenging, but we are making memories! (to recap – 4 adults, 2 little kids, and 4 cats, who don’t all get along…..:P )

    8/2 – 129.6 I think the new batteries have settled in. :’(

    8/3 -

    SW Rnd 303 297.6 EW 296.5 (-1.1)



    SW Rnd 304 296.5

    7/30 - 296.1 nice to start with a drop, it's just a nice pick-me-up! But, us daily weighers know we had best not set whether a day is good or not by if there's a drop, or we'll drive ourselves crazy!
    7/31 - 295.6 had a bit of a tough day and came home to a nice home cooked meal by my husband. It did include cookies at the end so I over-indulged on that meal but I'd left a lot of calories for the evening. Today is another day to keep working on things.
    8/1 - 298
    8/2 - 297.5 Had to go searching for how to stop the double spacing but figured it out! Like many the past few days, my huge fluctuation yesterday cannot represent actual gain. Good to see it starting to come down today already. My TOM is just around the bend and I will hold onto extra weight during that time for sure, like clockwork.

    07/31 – 188.8 ❌ (Trend Weight – 188.1

    08/01-187.6 ✅ (Trend Weight: 188.0) That 1.2 lb loss today is exactly equal to the mean and nasty (and uncalled for) fluctuations I had at the end of July. Now I need to work off that travel weight from the other day which is 2.6 lbs. This is just another squiggle on the graph of my journey. Nothing more, nothing less. I got this! I’m not getting cocky, I’m just staying positive. Let’s have a great August, my friends. It’s ours for the taking!

    ⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️08/02-186.4 ✅ (Trend Weight: 187.9) Every time I have a loss from the day before, I end up Incredibly Hungry all day. My body just wants to get back that weight! I made it through yesterday with the grade of a B- and I will try hard to make it through today. I must remember portion control when I feel like I’m starving!

    Round 304July 30 - 8 August 2025

    SW Rnd 304

    7/30  203.6 Today went by so fast.  I did get my walk after dinner and it was super humid.  I convinced my husband to walk with me tonight.  I have to start cleaning the house and getting backed to go to the mountains next week.  Going to go chase some waterfalls. 

    7/31 202.5 Today I was gone all day so I didn’t have the chance to go for a walk for work out.  Its amazing how you miss it when you don’t go, plus I was so tired all day.  I did my hair highlighted and blown out and it was so relaxing.  I almost fell asleep on her.  

    8/1 202.6 I have not felt the best today.  I pushed to get that 30 minute walk in tonight.  Thankfully is was much cooler. Trying to pack for a trip tomorrow but wishing I had more energy.  I went over on tracking tonight by a little and still feel full.  

    8/2  201.8  Packing for trip and plan a walk in great weather.  So thankful for a break in heat for a few days.

    7/30

    7/31–I basically started MFP this date (188.6) because I am one year into my Celiac diagnosis and I wanted something to track my nutrition. Wow! This app has changed from when I used it for free…a long time ago.

    8/1–Started doing knee exercises. I also practiced my tap dancing, for my 55+ Advanced Beginner class. I keep meaning to practice, so maybe I actually will now that I get credit for the exercise.

    8/2–I’m pretty jazzed (186.1). I stayed within my calories, I exercised yesterday, and I had so many calories leftover, I got to eat three GF Oreos! 🙌 Today, I just found this challenge (?) and started it today.

    🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 304 (my 234th).

    Goals for every round;

    • First and foremost, no feeding frenzies – I am not a shark or even a piranha!
    • to weigh less at the end of the round than the start
    • be happy because I feel that I have made the round count at the end
    • an additional goal for me this round is to have a totally 10 day binge free round.

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

    image-b97514667c5b08-254f.png

    I am the driver in my life & not the passenger, I need to drive my life to a healthy life."Health is wealth".

    7/29 142.8 – 8 miles walked. Didn’t achieve my goal this round; I’ll carry it forward to the next round.

    EW Rnd 303 142.8

    SW Rnd 304 142.8

    7/30 142.8 (trend 142.3) 5.73 miles walked before meeting up with DSs for lunch.

    7/31 142 (trend 142) 11.22. miles walked. Might struggle to get my miles in today as there is a very busy day ahead, manicure, volunteering, supermarket shopping.

    8/1 141.8 (TREND 142.2) No structured walking. Later this afternoon we travel down to Oxford for the British Transplant Games; DGS (& his brother as they include siblings) will be taking part in some events, DH & myself are volunteering. The games take part over the same weekend every year & it is always a most poignant time for us because it is exactly 5 years today that little Leo received his very precious gift of a new liver that saved his 6 month old life – some of you may remember that extremely anxious time as he very bravely fought. As a family we continually to be ever thankful to the donor & their family & really hope that they take some comfort from the thought that a part of their loved one still lives on 5 years after their loss.

    8/2 DNW - 8.28 miles walked.

    8/3 DNW - 7.47 miles walked, it was a long but satisfying day. Another one today before we head home.

    OGW: 199 (just to say I did)

    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

    7/29/25 : 224.4 SW before.

    7/30: 221.6 !
    ✏️🎯💓
    This will be a short lived scale reading. Too much of a drop for one day. My calories were low yesterday but they included 500 calories worth Kirkland Super Extra-Large Peanuts. I love those things.

    Regarding this group, I like how it is more than just us weight-tracking for ten days. We all have a somewhat unique quirk we are working on. The quirks are a combination of weight, strength, BF%, mobility, alcohol, macros, logging, exercise, breaking habits. I am learning from you all.

    7/31: 221.0
    ✏️🎯💓
    Even with another period of weakness right before bed, it dropped some more. I craved salty. I need way more protein too.

    Hopefully the grass will dry enough to mow it today. Humidity and rain ruling the days.

    8/1: 222.0
    ✏️🎯💓
    This is an expected course correction. Viva la fluctuation.

    8/2: DNW
    ✏️💓
    Scale is in the guest bathroom, and we have company. DW sister and husband here for a family reunion. Just as well; I ate out for two meals yesterday, both of which were too-much-quantity and very salty. This will make a dent in my Ten-Day average. My body spent all night writing a letter to me.

    So, there is a family reunion picnic tonight. I wish I was more of an extrovert so I could spend more time blabbing and less time eating. My thought bubble will say “just one more thing from the potluck buffet….” Heaven forbid that there are scotcharoos.

    5'3, 36 yo, SAHM to 3 year old twins.

    Mini goal: 140
    Ultimate goal: 130

    Rnd 301 Ending Weight: 144.2
    Rnd 302 Ending Weight: 145.3
    Rnd 303 Ending Weight: 143.3

    7/30: 142.9. It seems like my weight is actually starting to come down, after far too long being stuck around 144-145. I'm very excited about that.

    Food was decent yesterday, although I didn't track again. I went for a walk, but took a rest day from running.

    I've been toying with the idea of running a half marathon for a while, and I finally made the plunge and signed up for one at the end of October. I would really like to be a lot closer to my goal weight by then, so it's time to really get serious. I have just under 90 days, so plenty of time to lose a few pounds.

    7/31: 143.4. Food was on track, I didn't have time for a walk, but did a 4 mile run.

    8/1: 140.8. I'm so happy to see a swoosh. I took something to help with the constipation issues I periodically have, which I'm sure is a big contributing factor. Food was good, I went for a walk, but had to skip the gym because my husband worked late.

    8/2 141.4. I didn't track food, so I don't know for sure where I landed with my food, but I think it was a good food day. I managed to squeeze in a short walk before it got too hot. And I skipped the gym because I am planning a long run this morning and wanted fresh legs for it.

    8/3: 143.4. I did a long run in the morning (12 miles, my longest run ever!). It left me extra hungry for the rest of the day. Since we don't have much food in the house, I ordered food...too much of the wrong things. Today is grocery shopping day, so I'm going to try to stock up on some healthier options.

    JGMTD #304 #74
    M, F 5’6”  66yr young HW= 172lbs in 2010. Reached & maintained 128lbs in 2014. Fluctuate 🎢10-15 lbs every 2 to 3 years since. 
    Joined JGMTD Rnd 231 7/23. Reached 128lbs 11/23. 
    I track macros, calories, steps, all physical movement & NSVs 📖🚶‍♀️🏋️‍♀️👣💓Z2, ⏱️plyo, 🤸🏼mobility/agility, balance. 🎾 3-4x per wk.
    Goals: I want to feel/be healthy, clothes to fit (to run, jump, skip & play with my DGC) thru self- discipline, consistency & smart choices. Goal: Celebrating fun along the way! BF% ⬇️

    UGW 128-130lbs
    SW RND 304 132.8 RND Goal 131.xlbs
    7/30 ⚖️ 132.8lbs. Solid day. 🎾2 hrs. 👣8k 🤸🏼🏋️‍♀️⏱️📖💦. Heat wiped me out. Nutrition off, but not awful. (🚫protein goals) Will simplify my posting this round. Tracking all measures - will relay highlights here.  Long-term goal: ⬇️BF %! Let’s do this! 💪🏻 Remembering my WHY! 

    7/31  132.0lbs    Yesterday was a perfect day! 🏆💓🚶‍♀️👣🤸🏼⏱️🏋️‍♀️💦 📖 Love the weighted vest (WV) cuzz it gets me to  💓Z2 & 60 +- mins super efficiently first thing in the morning. Then work in 🤸🏼🏋️‍♀️⏱️ 📖the rest of the day. I am grateful. I look good. I’m healthy. It’s so easy to just forget about everything else on the movement to do “list”… Progress not perfection. I do have to keep reminding myself that every action item is important. I don’t have to do every single one every day, but if I get the majority done, it’s a win! No shortcuts. “Mother-time” will definitely catch-up with me if I don’t keep moving. It’s so easy to give in. I have to constantly remind myself to keep on. It’s NOT a habit. Note:  I ALWAYS feel better when I fully ✅ every “to do”. Most of all, it’s definitely time for some more joy & smiles throughout my day as I’m activating #HSF … 

    NSV: 800 jumps yesterday @ local Rec gym w / darling Tucker. I took him to shoot a few hoops in the A/C gym and brought my jump rope… We had a great time.

    Epiphany: The most important gift to me: under promise & over deliver. TRUST. 🙏

    8/1 DNW Ate much too late last night including dessert! Even though I rationally realize that I could not have gained ACTIAL weight from yesterday’s intake-  I still didn’t want to experience the scale fluctuation, so I did not weigh! 🚶‍♀️40 min 👣 8k 🤸🏼🏋️‍♀️💦. 

    Just played 3hrs 🎾tennis & the heat did me in! Will hydrate & relax the remainder of the day. 3hrs of 🎾only 8k 👣no energy for more (as of this moment). Feeling mentally strong, grateful and present.

    8/2 136.0 😬🫩

    🎾💓👣🤸🏼💦 📖

    This is why I don’t weigh when I eat out late. No TMI for days & bloated. So let’s evaluate briefly. 

    Four pounds?

    2x late out restaurant food. Grilled Caesar with tuna w/ just a wee bit of pasta and I mean a wee bit! High-protein lunch (50g) & under 500 cal… right after 🎾. Tennis court for three hours. Go figure.

    Oh, cottage cheese the last two days - guessing that’s “me and dairy” again.  Breaking that habit will be very, very tough.  Or restaurant food with unknown hidden ingredients/chemicals? Something in restaurant food does NOT agree with me (seed oils? Preservatives?) I eat clean, simple ingredients the vast majority of all meals and then two days restaurant food… ?) Hmmm… 

    Keep the faith, Carolyn and keep with your plan! Clean, clean, clean. And, I love clean! Flank steak w/ watermelon salad tonight. 

    Headed out for WV walk. 

    8/3 DNW Almost 🚫sleep last night as predictable since the Hospital project is on my mind again. I had a good day yesterday-but I ate TWO “scratch” cookies at my friends home. (spur of the moment visit w /friend with ALS that took up the entire afternoon- 3hrs in car). I was able to get in 🚶‍♀️💓10k 👣 WV walk.  Focus on hydration &🏋️‍♀️💓⏱️ today.  We enjoyed our flank steak & watermelon salad last night, but ate far too late! I hope everyone has a great Sunday! I’ve decided to not obsess w/scale⚖️ at this juncture because I know I’m eating ok, but retaining cortisol, stress and not sleeping. I won’t see positive results while I’m in that frenetic “zone”. Will sweat, breathe, smile, stretch & 🙏 today!

    Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 304
    July 30 – August 8, 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: 129.0

    7/30 – 130.0 I missed posting this day, but I did weigh and as the scale shows, I was out of line.

    7/31 – 129.4 Yesterday was spot on. It is now 4 PM on the 31st, and all is well. Will I make it through the whole day. I am somewhat irritated with myself as I have been repeatedly sabotaging myself as I get closer to the wedding. I need to knock it off!!!!

    8/1 – 127.4 I’m so confused…… Yes, yesterday was a second day on target, but such a drop is not logical. Conclusion is that some numbers, the highs or lows are misleading. While yes, I am back up in Maine. I headed up the evening of the 30th, which was a crazy day and why I missed posting. If you recall last round I was up here and questioning my scale due to some low numbers, and wondering if it needed new batteries. Well yesterday, I got a “LO” on my scale, so yes batteries were an issue, so I figured the 129.4 was accurate. Now today, with new batteries, I have a low number. I need to work to keep it!

    Today, DD, SIL, DGS’s #1 and #2, and their two cats, are joining DH, myself and our two cats, in our two bedroom condo for a vacay. Condo is going to get small fast, and food is going to be challenging, but we are making memories! (to recap – 4 adults, 2 little kids, and 4 cats, who don’t all get along…..:P )

    8/2 – 129.6 I think the new batteries have settled in. :’(

    8/3 – 130.2 Yesterday, there was no point in even attempting to track. Something I almost never say, even on a bad day.

    🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 304 (my 234th).

    Goals for every round;

    • First and foremost, no feeding frenzies – I am not a shark or even a piranha!
    • to weigh less at the end of the round than the start
    • be happy because I feel that I have made the round count at the end
    • an additional goal for me this round is to have a totally 10 day binge free round.

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

    image-e5c26ec32c456-3444.png

    Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, it’s taken me 75 rounds to achieve target of 130 = back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 135. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

    Updated 20.08.24 – I met up with youngest DB, first time after his DP passed away at the way too early age of 46. DB lives a long way from us, we see him very infrequently & is very introvert, so not a sharer of info 😞. However, he finally opened up to me, it seems that his DPs bad health leading to heart failure followed by kidney, liver failure & then a massive stroke, was originally caused by heavy drinking. By the time he realised he was abusing his body and went teetotal, the damage was too late to reverse. He was on the list for a heart transplant, but his other organs gave up before one became available.This has made me think about how I am abusing my body when I have binges with way too much sugar, fat & salt. I know I am a food addict. I'm going to try to think about this when I am tempted to overindulge, I need to start respecting my body more and think about whether I want to be in the best health I can be. My body has served me so well for 67 years, it deserves to be given the best chance to keep serving me well & I've been really lucky that life has not dealt me a raw health deal, so I must not jeopardize that luck.

    I am the driver in my life & not the passenger, I need to drive my life to a healthy life."Health is wealth".

    7/29 142.8 – 8 miles walked. Didn’t achieve my goal this round; I’ll carry it forward to the next round.

    EW Rnd 303 142.8

    SW Rnd 304 142.8

    7/30 142.8 (trend 142.3) 5.73 miles walked before meeting up with DSs for lunch.

    7/31 142 (trend 142) 11.22. miles walked. Might struggle to get my miles in today as there is a very busy day ahead, manicure, volunteering, supermarket shopping.

    8/1 141.8 (TREND 142.2) No structured walking. Later this afternoon we travel down to Oxford for the British Transplant Games; DGS (& his brother as they include siblings) will be taking part in some events, DH & myself are volunteering. The games take part over the same weekend every year & it is always a more poignant time for us because it is exactly 5 years today that little Leo received his very precious gift of a new liver that saved his 6 month old life – some of you may remember that extremely anxious time as he very bravely fought. As a family we continually to be ever thankful to the donor & their family & really hope that they take some comfort from the thought that a part of their loved one still lives on 5 years after their loss.

    8/2 DNW - 8.28 miles walked.

    8/3 DNW - 7.47 miles walked, it was a long but satisfying day. Another one today before we head home.

    8/4 144 ☹ that’s all the carbs that I consumed over the weekend. Need to work hard to reduce this before it settles. We were allocated to the ball throw event yesterday that helped me clock up 6.12 miles, some of which were short bursts of running, lots of bending down picking up balls, measuring distances etc. so yes lots of activity, but all meals were carb heavy all weekend.

    8/5

    8/6

    8/7

    8/8 Goal 140 pounds.

    👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT! 👍👍.

    08/04 179.6 Thank goodness our weekend wasn’t centered around food! DH has left for another week away for work and I have zero guilt tossing the left overs in the fridge from a weekend of company.
    I’ve decided to work a short day today and get my house in order. Focus on setting myself up for a successful week. First step is a driveway workout with my hardcore girls (my other group of workout girls). I’ll finish the day with an abs class at the Y.

    Feeling a bit sluggish this morning so I’m hoping if I get moving, I’ll just keep moving. I can’t rely on motivation for this, it’s the force of will to just do it.
