Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 305
Round 305 9-18 August 2025
Please join us starting on 8/9 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 304
Anyone can join us at any time 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 every day 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. Make the board your own - track what is important for YOUR JOURNEY.
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 the posts.

I’m Amanda, serial starter in JGMTD 🫣 I lurked and tracked during the last round to test my dedication, and it seems like I may be able to stick around for a while. My summer wardrobe is getting really tight so I decided it was time to do something about it again.
I’m 40F in Virginia with 4- and 6-year-old boys and 2 dogs. Right now I’m lightly employed as a substitute teacher during the school year, so I’ve had a summer of caregiving - more for my kids than for myself. The older one is about to start 1st grade and the younger one will be in half-day preschool, so it will be my turn soon! My (admittedly ambitious) goal is to lose 2 pounds this round. I managed to lose 2.2 over the past week, but of course a lot of that was water.

🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 305 (my 235th).
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 (again) this round is to have a totally 10 day binge free round.
Soooo, 4 weeks on Monday we fly out for our annual holiday; in that time I should be able to lose 4 pounds, so that is my personal challenge, I want to lose a pound a week/1.25 per round. I can do it if I use my will power.
I need to remain consistent - it does work! I aim to lose a pound this round. Good luck for success everyone.
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".
8/8 142.2 – failed to meet my mini goal 140 pounds, a loss of 0.6 pounds, oh dear, just have to roll over (again) to next round. No structured walking as childminding little DGSs.

Hello I'm Darlene, retired, 65-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.

I enjoy reading everyone’s posts with my coffee each morning.
Highest weight 242 lbs Lowest weight 142 lbs (2019) Re-start JGMTD Feb 2024 @ 204 lbsRound 304 End Weight 178.2
08/09 179.6 Ate a bit more then planned yesterday. Out for a casual lunch with a friend, I did well bringing half my sandwich home for dinner but proceeded to eat the Mac salad side. Why? Because it was there! Next time I need to remember to say “no side please”.
DH’s return meant an open bag of trail mix on the counter that I had two handfuls of before I realized what I was doing.
It’s those small mindless actions that are kneecapping any significant loss. A bounce around of a pound or two is a normal fluctuation but when I’m sitting so close to 180 which is a big mental turn off for me, I need to be doing the WORK to get results.Planning a great day- gardening for myself, workout with friends, puttering around the house and an afternoon out on the boat with DH. I’m sure we will dock somewhere for a meal but I’m capable of making good choices!

Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 305
August 9 - 18, 202563 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 – 146.6GW 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
8/9 – 128.4 so, goal for the round is simple. 10 days just tracking correctly, NO MATTER WHAT! Yesterday was good, I even got in an evening walk. Just 2.5 miles, but it is something.

I am already off to a dubious start with my goals. To be fair I picked up the gauntlet thrown down by @Chapter_3 just this morning in Round 304. 😊With the help of the internet, I now begin the tedious parsing and negotiating in my head about what qualifies as “ultrahigh processed.” For example I read that distilled spirits are off limits, but some wine and beer are not. I can easily avoid both for ten days. Anything in a package is suspect. Some food is processed, but the label looks very simple, i.e. no unpronounceable ingredients. I need to squash wishful thinking. I have asked DW to remove the candy dish from the main path through our house, but I want to take personal responsibility for my actions.

8/18Historical Averages: 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. As I look back over time I choose to let it inspire me rather than depress me.

ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 185.6 (Trend Weight: 186.7)
⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️08/09-183.4 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 186.3) Weight was up 1.8 yesterday and it’s down 2.2 today. What a Drama Queen it it’s being! Round and round and round it goes, where it stops, nobody knows. There is a festival going on nearby today. DD, DGS and I will be going in a little while to give little Owen something to celebrate his healing from the tonsil/adenoid surgery and also have some end-of-summer, back-to-school –soon fun. There will be fair food which is all part of the experience. I will try not to go hog wild. Maybe just be a little bit of a piglet since these types of foods are normally so unavailable to this little community. I don’t want to seriously ruin my progress of late. I will eat some lunch before I leave and that should help.

9 Pm on a saturday night. Petite kosher dill pickles for the win! Handles both salt and crunch cravings.
Meanwhile, going back to my MFP roots and working on pre-tracking multiple meals/days in advance. Lets see if this helps me back on track.

Round 305 (Aug 9 - 18, 2025) #6:
NB: last round, I didn't do too well. Didn't eat well and I had too much alcohol, plus I didn't log my progress...Hoping this round is better and I actually commit!!
…..
I need more motivation, inspiration and accountability in my life and this challenge has helped support me in the past, thank you. ☺️ I intend to weigh myself at the start and finish of the round and will update my progress within the group at the end. My height is 5'3" and I currently weigh 64.1kg (141.3 lb). My ultimate goal weight is 54kg.
Each day my goals are:
• To log my foods/exercise into Myfitnesspal
• Eat healthier and reduce the intake of junk food
• Reduce alcohol intake
• Aim to go to the gym 4 times per week.
Eager to stay committed! 🤸

🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 305 (my 235th).
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 (again) this round is to have a totally 10 day binge free round.
Soooo, 4 weeks on Monday we fly out for our annual holiday; in that time I should be able to lose 4 pounds, so that is my personal challenge, I want to lose a pound a week/1.25 per round. I can do it if I use my will power.
I need to remain consistent - it does work! I aim to lose a pound this round. Good luck for success everyone.
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".

Hello I'm Darlene, retired, 65-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.

I am already off to a dubious start with my goals. To be fair I picked up the gauntlet thrown down by @chapter _3 just this morning in Round 304. 😊With the help of the internet, I now begin the tedious parsing and negotiating in my head about what qualifies as “ultrahigh processed.” For example I read that distilled spirits are off limits, but some wine and beer are not. I can easily avoid both for ten days. Anything in a package is suspect. Some food is processed, but the label looks very simple, i.e. no unpronounceable ingredients. I need to squash wishful thinking. I have asked DW to remove the candy dish from the main path through our house, but I want to take personal responsibility for my actions.
8/10: 223.0
✏️☣️🎯💓
A good day… goals altered my behavior for the better. I discovered that the internet has a lot lot lot to say about ultra processed food (UPF). I also discovered that my diet is loaded with it. (For example a simple, but mass produced hamburger bun is UPF. Artisanal bread is not UPF.) I want to train my body not to crave it.Rode 20+ miles yesterday. It was hot, but I replenished with LMNT in a liter of water along the way. Wondering if the additional salt helped me retain a bit of water weight.
