    @Chapter_3 BOSU!!!!! Yay! I’ve had one for a few years and I’m amazed that I’m still finding new ways to play with it. The “girls” and I were attempting to stand on the flat side and balance while hula hooping just the other week😂.
    Also a throw back to an earlier post of yours about relationships that we out grow. This has been a common thread in both of my workout groups this last week- not the friends we spend less time with BUT the joy we have of having “new” friends at an older age that we bond with by working out together. It genuinely feels like we’re little kids who get to play together.

    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 lbs  

    Round 304 End Weight 178.2

    08/09 179.6
    08/10 DNW
    08/11 183.0
    08/12 179.6
    08/13 177.6

    08/14 176.6 I’m whispering my excitement because I don’t want to scare away this new number.

    Very active morning yesterday, big storms rolled in at 1pm and chased me inside. I turned into a total bum, just pure exhaustion caught up with me. I napped away the afternoon and went to bed early. I didn’t fight my body asking for rest.

    Weekend is looming ahead of me. Self sabotage is on the horizon. It’s a real nail biter to see which adventure I’ll choose. I’m hoping to get myself some where in the middle of hedonistic me and being a calorie martyr…

    Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 305
    August 9 - 18, 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

    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. 

    8/10 – 128.2 Tracking was good. Under my target. Got a short dumbbell arm session in before I had to field a phone call. Pre-tracked a couple days ahead. I had forgotten how helpful that is. This morning when I got up, I knew what I was eating and when, and even know what I need to purchase for my groceries the next few days. Let’s see how this pays off!

    8/11 – 127.8 Pre-tracking made the day fairly easy. I did have a mid-day adjustment, but again, being able to see the whole day with impact of the change made it straight forward to adjust. I will say, I had “binge” urges in the evening, so that is still happening, but between my round 305 commitment and more petite dill pickles, I go through. Now, to look up what I tracked for this morning’s breakfast. I recall it is something higher.

    On another note, I got a little awakening yesterday. I am trying to figure out what I am going to wear to the rehearsal dinner in september. Not finding anything I want….yet. So yesterday, I decided to try on one of my 10-or-so year old "classics". Would be a good color and I have always loved it (own it in two colors). My weight is lower than when I likely purchased, based off my history. So should be good, right? It was VERY borderline. I think this is telling me how truly the scale is just a piece of the puzzle. Pretty sure I was regularly going to the gym, those 10 years ago.

    8/12 – 128.0 Slightly up for no caloric reason. My weight goal for this round is to end with a 127.X as my number. Yesterday, calories were fully tracked and purportedly on target. No exercise, and no luck on dresses. I do have something coming in in the mail. I won’t end up naked, but was hoping to like what I wear.

    8/13 – 127.2 Again, calories spot in. No exercise, which still needs to be corrected. It does appear that returning to my target of 1550 kcal is appropriate. Next few days are going to be a little loopy, so I need to try and hold on. Heading back to maine tonight (packing, cleaning, visit mom, groceries, load car, drive, unload car). Tomorrow, out to eat at new restaurant. Friday, after dinner drive home alone (need to make sure DH and cats are squared away before leaving). Saturday, babysitting CGS#2 for 12 hours alone…..who knows what I may eat that day. Sunday, early drive back to Maine, then Tuesday evening return to MA. All good stuff, but distracting, which I don’t handle well.

    Have run out of pre-tracked days. Gotta go fill in Thursday and Friday, and parts of Sun, Mon and Tues. Need to organize for toddler day!

    8/14 – 127.4 Still stable. Followed my pre-tracking and day went well. Today, I set aside calories for the restaurant, and I have strong ideas of what I will have, but it is one of those restaurants whose menus can change daily. Did not pre-track my day as I think I am going to have to take it bit by bit as I try and stave off hunger, in order to save a higher portion of calories for the evening as my standard 500 calories for dinner will not go far. But I do plan to NOT order from the entrée section which still allows me lots of fun!

    Intersting podcast popped up for me, and it relates to all the UPF discussions here. I am actively listening to it right now through my pocket casts app (so no comments as yet), but I found it for you all on youtube in case you want to check it out.

    R305- “Weight-loss” mindset returns. BHAG = 128-130lbs with lowering BF%. What will it take to get there & stay there? Let’s do this!!!!💪🏻 Keep moving with the right macros, Pg & AMOUNT. 

     #HSF #agingyounger #MindBodySoul #ENGAGED 

    SW RND 305 136.2 (false)

    RND Goal 132.xlbs

    Loose 5+lbs in 5wks. 

    8/9 136.2

    8/10 133.6

    8/11 133.2

    8/12 133.2

    8/13 133.0

    8/14 132.8

    8/9 ⚖️ 136.2 🤸🏼🚶‍♀️💓👣🎾🏋️‍♀️⏱️📖 anniversary dinner on full display per scale. I really don’t like counting this ⚖️ as the beginning of this round - a distorted uptick. Let’s go with Monday morning as my true start weight for this round to gauge progress. I can do that, right?🤣 Today: 🚶‍♀️💓👣🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼📖⏱️ setting a plan to do it all today ✅. #ENGAGED 

    8/10 133.6 🏆🚶‍♀️💓👣🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼📖⏱️ Good-bye👋🏻Friday night! Strong day! Determination plugged in. Beautiful weather helps my mindset. 💦💦💦 under cals✅ & under Pg (100g) but I still gave myself a 🏆because it was such a great day! Tomorrow’s ⚖️ will be my official start - want my efforts to be real. Blips DNC (do not count!)

    ⚠️Long Post. NSV: for me, this is an NSV… I passed on our annual girls trip to “The Ranch”. Every August, the gals head to a ranch owned by one of my friends family. It is an all out 48 hr food / drink orgy. I decided not to put myself in that situation ever again because it’s no longer who I am or what I want. I love them all dearly, but I’ve transformed. Becoming who I am meant to be, means moving away from old realities … It means taking myself out of situations that are contrary. That was a huge decision for me. I replaced it with health & movement & I didn’t miss it at all. This decision was a clear demarcation / boundary. 
    Have any of you left something behind that was part of you?! (To embrace your new identity?) #shedding.

    8/11 133.2 🏆🚶‍♀️💓👣🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼📖⏱️🎾. THIS is my declared round start weight (after flushing Fri night din-din). Thinking a solid 132.0 is doable in 8 days. My body is hanging onto some kind of bloat. Eat clean & reduce dairy. Low-fat proteins & 💦💦💦. Keep moving. 🏋️‍♀️& ⏱️is non- negotiable today. 

    8/12 133.2. 🚶‍♀️💓👣🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼📖⏱️ nutrition✅ however I tried a high protein pasta last night so it wasn’t “clean / whole food” and ate at 7:15- usually eat /finished no later than 5:30ish pm. I thought the pasta was  good. Let’s see how I digest it. 🤭20g of protein per serving and 2net carbs. 🚫🏆even tho Pg & cals ✅. Squeezed in 🏋️‍♀️⏱️ late afternoon. Solid day. I have 🎾 this morning, but starting to drizzle. Let’s see!

    8/13 133.0 🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼📖⏱️🎾 Great day even though 🚫8-10k👣. 🎾 =4k. Didn’t have it in me to walk again. Just under 7K for the day. Recently purchased Bosu & balance board. Integrating into my🤸🏼🏋️‍♀️routine. Gosh, I’m really feeling my age lately. Nutrition: won’t eat the high protein pasta again. Feel like it’s still stuck wherever it’s stuck! Need to pledge & promise no more cheese (even though I’ve enjoyed w/extreme moderation) still feels heavy & with me. My body says no, no, NO! Put on my chauffeur cap again now that school has started – visited with DGS Tucker & DGD Eleanor yesterday. Delightful. Let’s keep up the focus today! Looked long & hard in the mirror - Are you REALLY willing to do what it takes? #MindBodySoul

    8/14 132.8 🏆🏋️‍♀️👣🤸🏼📖🎾 2+ hrs. 🎾Tennis wiped me out, but I managed 👣. The heat/humidity was unbearable today. I think index was close to 115°. Took it easy when I got home but managed w/electrolytes (LMNT). Nutrition for the W. 

    NSV: Improved mindset and determination. Such a huge difference between lackadaisical vs. targeted efforts. Feeling transformed because I don’t “feel denied“. Just taking care of business & grateful. #ENGAGED. Planning a structured WV walk NOW - then we’ll be working with an attorney all afternoon on the Hospital project. We’ve got some momentum after SIX MONTHS!

    (FYI: Six concerned citizens took up the gauntlet to fight city hall vs an out-of-place monstrous 5-story hospital garage w/helipad abutting a residential neighborhood. Five appeals later & we have one more to go on 9/9. We are gaining ground!) 💪🏻

    Thank you for loving the photo of Eleanor! 💓

    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

    Daily Goals (4) for this round:
    -Log Food. ✏️
    -No Ultra Processed Food (UPF). ☣️
    -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

    8/8/25 : 223.6 SW the day before.

    8/9: 223.6
    ✏️
    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.

    https://educhange.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/NOVA-Food-Classification-EduChange.pdf

    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.

    8/11: 221.8
    ✏️☣️🎯+💓/2

    8/12: 220.8
    ✏️☣️🎯💓
    I got totally distracted and forgot to post 8/11, so there it is. I think it was because I was up to my ankles in trip planning. (up to my ankles may not seem deep but I was “head down.”)

    I took a 3 mile walk yesterday in miserable heat and humidity. I had to get some movement done.

    Staying true to UPF goal is rough for me. One thing that helped is some pre-planning my DW has done. She has stocked three storage containers in the fridge with watermelon, grapes and baby carrots. They are an easy reach when I find myself standing in front of the open fridge without even knowing how I got there.

    8/13: 221.6
    ✏️💓
    I fell off the UPF wagon yesterday. I had a hotdog bun at lunch and attended an ice cream social at dad’s nursing home last night. I skipped supper so the calories weren’t horrific, but enough to miss the target by a bit. I don’t consider the bratwurst at lunch to be UPF since it is made (by my son😊) at the local meat market. I need to be a good boy today.

    Yesterday was DGS first day of Third Grade. Thus ends our summer of watching him while his parents work. (we love him to pieces but we are looking forward to some “me time” and some “we time”.) I am thrilled that he likes school and makes friends easily.

    8/14: 221.0
    ✏️☣️🎯💓
    My exercise calories exceeded my food budget. I ate some of them back.

    Out with the old in with the new! Yes, I won’t entirely forsake my lifelong friends, but I’m on a hunt for a new “few” to complement my new #HSF mindset. I thought it might be 🎾 but NOT … 🎾gals have a horrible rap for clicks and in-fighting and quite frankly it’s true! So I’m on the 👀 … I think I’ll always be a loner working out though… (social anxieties). But I am discovering a new reality at 66 and it’s fun!
    And… I have a challenge for you to accept - This wknd- instead of being a “calorie martyr” I challenge you to be a calorie VICTOR this weekend! ALL HAIL @Skyleen75 ! Join me!!!! Let’s all be CALORIE VICTORS this weekend! Oh - and add three days of NO UPF! Who is in?!?!?!

    SW Rnd 303 297.6 EW 296.5 (-1.1)
    SW Rnd 304 296.5 EW 301.1 (+4.6)


    SW Rnd 305 301.1 GW for round 296.4
    8/9: 300.7
    8/10: 298.3 - My goal for this round is to get lower than my SW for round 304 which was a complete disaster. Having said that, it is normal for me to gain 5 during my TOM that isn't real gain, yet I still get shocked by it. Regardless, I'm back in the 200s and today I did something very good for me. I used to ride my Peloton religiously and it was so good for my weight loss. Since we moved cities in May I hadn't been on the bike in our new house, but that's changed now as I rode for 30 minutes this afternoon. Going to spend the week focusing on better habits for me. I travel on Friday for the weekend so I want to make the start of this round count!
    8/11: 298.2 - I know it's only .1 down from yesterday, but it feels good. My mind is in a positive space and while no feeling lasts, it'll ride this as long as I can. I am about to get back on the Peloton for a ride, this will be day two in a row! Yay.
    8/12: 297.2 - Tonight's activity will be donating plasma. I have done lots of whole blood donations but never plasma. I've been treating my body nice to prep for it. I need to keep that mentality more just for me! I am happy things are resetting and that I'm back to below where I started Round 303.
    8/13: 297.3 - My first plasma donation went well last night, but holy crap am I wiped today! I also had an extremely busy day at work. Letting myself off the hook tonight as I need rest.
    8/14: 295.7 - Delighting in this number. Today is my last day of work for the week as I fly to Vancouver tomorrow to meet my husband who is at the tail end of a work trip. We are going to a concert and to the PNE (their version of a fair). Can't wait.

    SW: 216 Rnd 305

    8/9 X

    8/10 X

    8/11 - Logging in today. Weight at 211. It's slowly going down from where I started at (216) and that was just being mindful of what I was eating, a few more steps each day and a few days of working out. Now I am going to step it up more. 

    8/12 211.5 - Scale went up slightly but no big deal. I got my workout in and my steps in yesterday so I am happy with that. Need to be slightly stricter about snacking. I plan on no longer eating after 7pm. It's the closest I can get to fasting, lol! I have coffee around 5am in the morning and eat breakfast around 8am. 

    8/13 - 211.5 - I got in half of a workout yesterday but I did get in my daily steps. I have been pushing to get a min of 5,000 steps each day which is a little hard for me being that I have a desk job and I am sitting most of the day so I have been getting up and trying to move so I can hit that goal. I have done well the past few days and found ways to get in those steps so I am upping my daily step goal to 7,000 now. I did well for food yesterday until dinner was late. I then snacked on some cheez-its while I was making my daughter's lunch and then when I was giving her a slice of her birthday cake, I caved and had a piece. It wasn't even that good as it's almost a week old now, lol! School started back up here in Florida so this week has been more of a trial and error sort of thing of figuring out when I can get my workout in. I redid my fitness planner and decided to do a 12 week plan instead of the 6. I have been spending this week trying to fine tune it and plan on officially starting it next Monday. I am a  planner and need to have a plan all laid out before I start something. I also need it to be super simple and not take a lot of time to fill out everyday. I need to have key objectives laid out, so I don't have to go digging to find information. As an example, my daily step goal will be 7,000, no eating after 7pm. Wait 3 hours after eating before eating again, no snacking. My macros will be XYZ. My workout schedule for the week will be XYZ. My food will be planned out for the week. If I put all of the work up front, then I can just follow it along without too much thought or work going forward. 

    I feel like I have been dieting my whole life and if I died tomorrow, I think that would be one of my biggest regrets. I regret how much of my life I have spent "dieting" only to always still be overweight. It wasn't until I was talking to my co-worker the other day about our looks. We needed new headshots for work and we really didn't want to take pictures. We were kind of putting ourselves down and I told her that I had gained so much weight since Covid and I was feeling so miserable lately, worse than ever. And then I had a thought. I realized that I could change that. I know, it sounds silly and "duh", but it really hit me that if I wanted to be in amazing shape, nothing was stopping me but me.  I am physically able to workout. I have a choice to eat whatever I want. I have complete control over this and if that's what I want, I can have it. There is absolutely NOTHING stopping me! So this so-called "Epiphany" has me excited now! If I put this work in, there is no way I can fail! 

    8/14 - 211.5 Long work day yesterday and that meant I didn't get my exercise in or my steps in. I ended up snacking late because I felt like the whole day was a waste. Need to start changing my mindset. I could have avoided having work take over my day and I still could have got my exercises in. I need to start making myself the priority.

    Post-walk recovery

    IMG_9207.jpeg

    📣 On August 14, 2014, 11 years ago today I started this journey. Little did I know that I would still be on it! I remember weighing in at 157lbs (had already lost 15lbs)…. I wanted to get even more serious because I knew I could do it if I just made THE decision! I then lost 30lbs in three months. Except for the abrupt 10-15lb roller coaster swings every few years, I’ve stayed healthy & vigorous. The last two years on JGMTD has provided the structure & camaraderie Ive needed to stay the course. I’ve learned more about health and nutrition during this time then all my previous years combined. For those of us who admit that we have a VERY REAL problem with food… This IS a lifelong journey. I’ve come to realize that it will be with me the rest of my life. I choose to embrace it. 🤗 There’s no turning back!

    (I just returned from my 5 mile WV walk and a lightbulb 💡 went off as I was entering our home - Gosh, what is today?! Today is 8/14!) 💡OHHHHH! An anniversary to be celebrated!!!  Find something to celebrate today! Create your own “milestone” 🎉👏🏻🎊❤️🥰

    08/13-183.0 ❌ (Trend Weight: 185.0) I’m a touch up again. Not sure why. Calories yesterday were 947 actual. Then spent 350 of that in exercise . My carbs were under, fiber good, all healthy fats in good numbers, though protein was half my goal. Ah well, perhaps it was water as I thought maybe dehydration might have played a part in my not feeling well for the past couple of days now. I drank pretty good but was likely a wee bit under my normal goal. Sure enough, I feel so so so much better today. DS’s hair appointment was moved to tomorrow with the two DGS’s appointments by the stylist. That is good for me. Now only one day of restaurants afterward instead of two! Enjoy hump day everyone!

    ⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️08/14-181.8 ✅ (Trend Weight: 184.7) I felt much better yesterday and spent the entire day in my P.J.’s just babying myself. I stuck to my diet plan and my newest NSV is that my butt bones are hurting every time I sit down as the cushion I had has shrunk. I first noticed it on the wooden bench at the festival last weekend, but now, even my kitchen and office chairs have become uncomfortable. It’s a discomfort I won’t complain about!

    I’m Amanda, serial starter in JGMTD 🫣 5’2”, 40F, in Virginia (US)

    NSG (tracked for prior day)

    🏃🏻‍♀️ movement - 7/10 days 

    🚫 no alcohol - 7/10 days

    SW Rnd 305 - 134.0 

    RGW: 132.0

    8/9 - 133.4 🚫🏃🏻‍♀️Yesterday was good! Ran sprints assigned by my Garmin training plan. Stayed on track through the day so I could indulge in chicken tikka masala that I made for dinner. Today will be more challenging at a local agricultural fair and a night out at a small concert. DH is playing trombone in a band for a couple of songs! Happy Saturday! Glad to be back with you!

    8/10 132.8. This is a fake number. I waaayyy overdid it last night and I’m sure the beers left me dehydrated. It was a fun night but today will be a struggle. And I’ll see the repercussions on the scale tomorrow. I just have a 30 minute easy run to do today and I’m taking the kids to a community production of The Wizard of Oz. Not sure the 4 year old will make it through but we’ll try it.

    8/11 - 135.6 🚫 Whoop there it is! The overdoing from Saturday plus a giant bowl of salt (restaurant ramen) for dinner last night. My water retention is so extensive that I hardly had to pee when I woke up this morning. I took the boys rock climbing and bike riding today. I ran while they biked, and I got to do a few climbs! We had Mexican food for lunch and I feel I made pretty good choices (grilled chicken) but I probably had more chips than I needed.

    8/12 - 135.0 🚫🏃🏻‍♀️ I thought maybe some additional water would push through but no such luck. Perhaps I’ve gone more off the rails than I realized. Today I have a run and have to prep for the first day of school tomorrow! Need to meal plan and shop, too. Feels like I’ve been stringing things together too much which leads to not-great choices.

    8/13 - 133.8 🚫🏃🏻‍♀️There we go. Still a long way to the 132 I was hoping to achieve this round, but I deserved this upset. I grocery shopped enough to get us through the next few days and did a very hard threshold run yesterday. Today I’m planning to strength train. My 6 year old starts 1st grade today! The summer flew by! I’ll admit I’m looking forward to being in more of a routine now, and having some capacity to think, especially after the 4 year old starts part time preschool on Friday. 

    8/14 - 133.2 🚫🏃🏻‍♀️I think I pretty much ate maintenance yesterday. I did my strength workout. I’m currently at the gym after having completed a recovery jog and 20 minutes of Peloton yoga for runners. Tonight’s dinner is a seafood feast - shrimp, clams, and oysters from the seafood truck that comes through town. This is my 4-year-old’s requested meal 🤣 I might have some white wine with dinner since I’ll be cooking with it. My only other planned drinking night this round is Saturday for a friend’s birthday party. I’m sure I won’t go too overboard after what I did to myself this past Saturday and the resulting after-effects (2 days of bad food choices and 3+ days of anxiety).

    SW RND 3️⃣0️⃣5️⃣~ 232.9 Goal this round 230, which includes 5 vacation days. Get back to 230 by the end of the round 

    8/9 ~ vac
    8/10 ~ vac
    8/11 ~ vac
    8/12 ~ vac
    8/13 ~ vac
    8/14 ~ RTW
    8/15 ~ RTW, still
    8/16 ~ ATD (Access the Damage)
    8/17 ~ CMI (corrective measures identified)
    8/18 ~ AMO (Accept, move on)

    Finally home…. It was a great trip, but it is always nice to return to the comfort and routine of being at home. I surely need the routine! The scale will NOT be friendly, I'm sure…so giving myself a couple of days before "accessing the damage"…but I can feel it! Was it worth it, yes! I did bring my scale, but quickly kicked it to the curb! 😁

    Highlights

    ✅Didn't win anything significant at the sweepstakes convention in Little Rock, AR, but did have a ton of fun.
    ✅Spent a couple of days in Memphis. Had breakfast at the Sunrise Cafe (highly recommended) and dinner at the Blue City Cafe and Blues music at the BBKingClub (highly recommended for live music and food as well, didn't eat there but it looked great). Toured the Civil Rights Museum and Stax Records.
    ✅Stayed at the Hollywood Casino just outside of St. Louis. Won $1,200 on a penny slot machine. Got tickets (free) for a suite at the Cardinals game on Tuesday night. Took a ride to the top of the Arch.
    ✅ I now need a vacation from the vacation!

    @deepwoodslady ~ Yikes…take care of yourself. I can't imagine how scary that would be. Do you use a Continuous Blood Glucose Monitor? Might be worth looking into, if only for a while. The Libre3 website was allowing a trial of one unit as long as your doctor approved it.

    @Deviette ~ Good luck with the surgery to repair your meniscus.

    @Chapter_3 ~ I love baby therapy~~ You look so content~ and in love~ Congratulations on 11 years and your story. My takeaway… this IS a lifelong journey and you have shown us how to do it with grace. Up and downs yes, but fully taking control and I loving it (most days 😂). I appreciate you keeping it 💯

    @ReignFromAshes~ love your "Epiphany"~ I too am a planner…sometimes, it gets in the way! I feel your excitement.. Go get this!!

    Time for me to get serious!!!

    63yo | 5’3” | ret choir teach | MW USA | Celiac | MFP 07.31.25 | JGMTD 08.02.25 | HW 191.1 | SW 188.6

    Spend my time enjoying: DH 💕| 5 adult kids—2 weddings soon! 👰🏼🤵| 🐶Jack & 🐱Sophie | My 6 vocal/piano students 🎤🎹🎭| Reading (2 book clubs) 📚📚| Knitting 🧶| Cooking 🥘👩🏼‍🍳| 55+ Tap Class 💃

    My goals: Healthy GF 🥗| 5 fruits/veggies/day | UGW 160 🎯| Weigh less at the end of the round than the start | Travel the 🌎✈️| +mobility/-pain 💪

    Rnd 305 (#2) SW 184.9

    8/9: 184.9 😊Had some calories left last night. 🙌Stayed on track. Practiced tap for some exercise. I also planned meals for the week and shopped for them with DH. We’re on track for a good, healthy week.🤩

    8/10: 183.9 🤩Today was errand day. I was on a quest to find GF Pepitas (aka pumpkin seeds) and wound up ordering them online. Ugh! Made Jamaican Pork Tenderloin since I already had the Mango Chutney and Jamaican Rice & Peas. Didn’t have broccoli like I thought, so I quartered a zucchini. Sprayed it with olive oil spray, sprinkled a little parmesan as well as GF cracker crumbs. Baked the wedges in the Ninja for 12 minutes. Wow! I think I found a new favorite veggie for dinner. 🙌No exercise today. I’ll probably weigh more tomorrow, but oh well. 🤷‍♀️

    8/11: 183.4 👍🏻Well, I was wrong. 😳 Anyway, I played with my goals on MFP last night. It didn’t show that I lost any weight from when I started this July. I realized that it was reflecting the last time I used it in 2018 and I was around 162. So I changed my starting weight. Well, that dropped me from 1480 calories to 1200!!! OMG! No way. So then I changed my progress from 2 lbs/week to 1.5 lbs/week. That gave me 1700 calories/day. LOL  Anyway, I want to have a 500 calorie surplus at the end of the day, so I’m good with that. I thought that 1480 was hard to get in everything for that. We’ll see how it goes. I’m gonna practice tap now. 💃

    8/12: 183.7 🤷‍♀️Yesterday was a teaching day. Lots of standing and giving voice/piano lessons. I’m excited for my tap class today. I’ve been practicing more than usual, and I’m curious to see how well I do. When I started the class in March, I couldn’t do a lot of stuff. I couldn’t stay on the balls of my feet. At one point, we had to stand on our heels! That was a joke…for me. Anyway, I knew this was obviously a great exercise routine, because it challenged me, it was still fun, and I was wiped out when I got home. I’m no longer wiped out. 🙌45 min tap dancing = 700 calories!!! My goal today is to have a 700 calorie surplus. Let’s see how that impacts tomorrow. 🔮

    A little bit about Celiac: I’ve had former students who were Celiac and I thought, “I could never give up bread!” Fast forward @ 10 years . Guess what? I can give up bread. There is GF bread, but it’s seldom great. My husband can keep his cookies and stuff in the pantry without hiding them from me bc now I won’t eat them. I started this app bc I was subsisting on tortilla chips. 🙄I’m excited to see what happens now. I had given up on ever losing weight again bc going GF is hard! Now, I’m starting to think outside the box.

    8/13: 183.4 😑At least I didn’t gain. Also, I didn’t have enough calories yesterday, as I was caught up in my DS drama. 😥I also didn’t get as many 🥗as I would like. One of my main goals is to BE healthier and EAT healthier. Losing weight is just a side benefit. I will do better today. I’m eating out with DS after he gets off work. Eating out makes me crazy for a) gluten issues and b) the calorie quandary. I’m too early in this game to just not count a day. Plus I will be eating out with the fam tomorrow for our weekly lunch date. 🫠Today was the last tap class of this session. I’m on break for three weeks. Ugh! Last night, I made my DH’s fav meal: Chili-Glazed Salmon and Cream Sriracha Sauce. His fave and healthy…WIN WIN! 🙌

    8/14 184.5 ⬆️😕As far as I can calculate, I stayed under my calories, but 🤷‍♀️. No exercise. Too busy + hurting badly in my hip. Ate out at a restaurant last night with DS2. I had a very yummy salad (Citrus Shrimp Salad) and 1 glass Sauv Blanc. So I’m sure I’m retaining water??? IDK. I enjoyed the meal and the time, so we’ll see what happens today. We’re taking my 102.5yo DM out for lunch today. 🤞

    8/12 - 167.0

    8/13 - 167.1

    8/14 - 167.8 - TOM arrived late last night so I was still holding on to some bloating this morning I guess. It'll drop in the coming days (hopefully). I'm pushing water and trying hard to make sure I meet my macro goals. This weekend is going to be a slight challenge. I need to come up with a dinner for Sunday night. Saturday I have a dinner planned but lunch will be out as BF has a big meeting that he wants me to go with him to because it's important to him. The meeting either starts or ends right around lunch and it's about 45 minutes away so we'll be eating out. I'll need to be on my best behavior with food and ensuring I meet my goals. I also need to start looking into meals for next week so I can make my grocery list for Saturday morning - it'll be a tight squeeze to get in get groceries, and get home to leave in time so I need to be fully prepared with my list.

    Round 305 

    9-18 August 2025

    SW Rnd 305

    8/9 204.4 - Still on vacation but trying to get in some exercise and try to control the calories with tracking. Today had some time to walk at a local park with big hills to climb. Met up with some friends from high school today.  I needed some girl time.  

    8/10 199.4 - Headed home today.  Should be a long day in the car.  Sigh! 

    8/11 I didn’t get any data today.  It was long day of hoping to get a medical test out the way that didn’t happen.  It was long day. 

    8/12 203.4 - Finally going to be on my schedule.  I slept so much last night and today after yesterday.  

    8/13 202.3 - I had a good day with tracking.  My daughter is home from internship and will go to college in a few days but getting this time with her home is great.  I stayed on diet today and worked out with two walks and a ST workout.  I get so out of breath in this humidity.  

    8/14 204 - I get so frustrated doing all that I should and staying in calories but still going up. I know it's not a race but it's frustrating.  Going to enjoy my daughter before she goes back to school.  We went to dinner and met the guys out and then came back and played some games.

    🎷 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.

    image-027d6ea4205cf8-6d21.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".

    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.

    EW Rnd 304 142.2

    SW Rnd 305

    8/9 142.2 - 9.42 miles walked. Hoping to really make this round count.

    8/10 142.2 – 11.12 miles walked. Feel better in myself that I’m back on track.

    8/11 142.6 – disappointed in this number as I have had 3 days well on track, gonna stick with it – it’’s got to move eventually! 7.6 miles walked.

    8/12 142.2 – 9.25 miles walked. This week I’ve been selected for Jury service; I’m walking into the city each morning to help get my mileage in & as court finished early, I walked ¾ of the way back until DH picked me up.

    8/13 142.2 – 7.66 miles walked & boy, it was hot walking yesterday!!

    8/14 142.6 – that’s last night’s late bbq. 7.21 miles walked.

    8/15 142.2 – 8.19 miles walked.

    8/16 Goal to be at 141.2

    8/17

    8/18 Goal to be at 139.95

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

    08/13 177.6
    08/14 176.6

    08/15 176.0 I’ve been in a good groove this week. It does help me going into the weekend. First by motivating myself to not mess this up. Second by knowing that when I do mess it up, it will recover.

    I’m up early for Friday bootcamp and heading out to work by 7am. There will be extra calories today with a late afternoon boat ride to a sea food boil. Mostly it will be the sodium that gets me. And the high calorie cocktails I’ll order.
    I just went back and added the “s” in the last sentence. There will be two. There are always two. I know I could just ditch the alcohol completely or swap for a something lighter.

    But I don’t want to.

    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.

    My Stats

    Highest Weight 228

    Weight Current Day - Goals Prior

    Aug 9: 139.6 15.5K👣, 🚶‍♀️‍➡️🫀🧘‍♀️🥊⏱️📖 Away most of the day, returned from overnight birthday trip. I was pleasantly surprised at the weight this morning. I'm up 1.5 pounds since before the overnight trip, but honestly was expecting more. Back to it today.

    Aug 10: 139.4 13.9K 👣🚶‍♀️‍➡️🏋️‍♀️🚲🥊🥗⏱️🪰📖 🧂I was hoping for a swish this morning, but didn't see it. A normal day yesterday, a tad high on the sodium, but just under my goal. Nice to be home.

    Aug 11: 139.8 18.9K 👣 🚶‍♀️‍➡️🫀🥊🥗⏱️🪰📖 Getting too close for comfort. Need to rein it in. Although I was under my limit, over the sodium and late night snack attack did me in.

    Aug 12: 139.8 15.0K 👣 🚶‍♀️‍➡️🏋️‍♀️🚲🥊🥗⏱️🪰📖🧂Typo in yesterday's weigh in post (wishful thinking). Corrected today. Although I met my calorie and salt goals, my food choices were poor yesterday. I saved my calories for junk! Every Monday my sisters and I join my Mom and her Friends at Monday Night Bingo at the the Knights of Columbus. They celebrated my birthday, cupcakes and blondie! I need to get into the right mindset before this slow creep on the scale becomes a permanent thing.

    Aug 13: 139.4 19.2K 👣 🚶‍♀️‍➡️🫀🧘‍♀️🥊🥗⏱️🪰📖🧂Good day yesterday, ate healthy and nice workouts. Also weeded the garden, need to harvest the rest of the corn soon before it gets tough. Getting tired of corn every day too! A very successful crop. Next year will plant in stages instead of all together, then maybe they won't all be ripe at the same time. We harvested the potted potatoes, terrible crop this year. We still need to harvest the "in the ground" potatoes. We'll see if they are any better. Used our first pepper of the season in our chili last night for dinner. It's so nice to be able to say I picked these from my own yard. 👩‍🌾 Call me farmer Dar!

    Aug 14: 139 15.7K 👣 🚶‍♀️‍➡️🏋️‍♀️🥊🥗⏱️🪰📖🧂Good day yesterday. Decided to use my Wellness allowance (plus a birthday check from Greg's cousin) for a new fitness tracker - upgrading to a Garmin Venue 3! It arrives today! Woo Hoo!

    Aug 15: 138.4 20.9K 👣 🚶‍♀️‍➡️🫀🥊🥗⏱️🪰📖🧂Another good day yesterday. All goals accomplished. Harvested 90% of the corn, froze some, have a few ears in the fridge. I found a recipe for a healthy Mexican street corn salad that I am going to make today. Got my watch, like it so far - one drawback that I need to figure out - it interferes with my hearing aids if I have the hearing aids linked to my phone. I need to figure that out. If I have to turn off my watch when I need to use the phone to hearing aid controls I will. But would be nice not to have to do that. This one supposedly has a long battery life, so can wear it to bed to see sleep patterns. Sleep Score - 77! Duration, stress, and deep sleep were good to excellent, Light and Rem sleep were fair, and Awake/Restlessness - poor. Just what I figured.

    Thx Donna!

    Nurri Protein Shake. Lately, I drink one after a morning workout with black coffee over ice. Yesterday too rushed to make my usual - grass-fed whey protein isolate 100 cal 25g protein, ZERO carbs & fat

Let’s go with Monday morning as my true start weight for this round to gauge progress. I can do that, right?🤣 Today: 🚶‍♀️💓👣🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼📖⏱️ setting a plan to do it all today ✅. 

    #ENGAGED 

    8/10 133.6 🏆🚶‍♀️💓👣🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼📖⏱️ Good-bye👋🏻Friday night! Strong day! Determination plugged in. Beautiful weather helps my mindset. 💦💦💦 under cals✅ & under Pg (100g) but I still gave myself a 🏆because it was such a great day! Tomorrow’s ⚖️ will be my official start - want my efforts to be real. Blips DNC (do not count!)

    ⚠️Long Post. NSV: for me, this is an NSV… I passed on our annual girls trip to “The Ranch”. Every August, the gals head to a ranch owned by one of my friends family. It is an all out 48 hr food / drink orgy. I decided not to put myself in that situation ever again because it’s no longer who I am or what I want. I love them all dearly, but I’ve transformed. Becoming who I am meant to be, means moving away from old realities … It means taking myself out of situations that are contrary. That was a huge decision for me. I replaced it with health & movement & I didn’t miss it at all. This decision was a clear demarcation / boundary. 
    Have any of you left something behind that was part of you?! (To embrace your new identity?) #shedding.

    8/11 133.2 🏆🚶‍♀️💓👣🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼📖⏱️🎾. THIS is my declared round start weight (after flushing Fri night din-din). Thinking a solid 132.0 is doable in 8 days. My body is hanging onto some kind of bloat. Eat clean & reduce dairy. Low-fat proteins & 💦💦💦. Keep moving. 🏋️‍♀️& ⏱️is non- negotiable today. 

    8/12 133.2. 🚶‍♀️💓👣🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼📖⏱️ nutrition✅ however I tried a high protein pasta last night so it wasn’t “clean / whole food” and ate at 7:15- usually eat /finished no later than 5:30ish pm. I thought the pasta was  good. Let’s see how I digest it. 🤭20g of protein per serving and 2net carbs. 🚫🏆even tho Pg & cals ✅. Squeezed in 🏋️‍♀️⏱️ late afternoon. Solid day. I have 🎾 this morning, but starting to drizzle. Let’s see!

    8/13 133.0 🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼📖⏱️🎾 Great day even though 🚫8-10k👣. 🎾 =4k. Didn’t have it in me to walk again. Just under 7K for the day. Recently purchased Bosu & balance board. Integrating into my🤸🏼🏋️‍♀️routine. Gosh, I’m really feeling my age lately. Nutrition: won’t eat the high protein pasta again. Feel like it’s still stuck wherever it’s stuck! Need to pledge & promise no more cheese (even though I’ve enjoyed w/extreme moderation) still feels heavy & with me. My body says no, no, NO! Put on my chauffeur cap again now that school has started – visited with DGS Tucker & DGD Eleanor yesterday. Delightful. Let’s keep up the focus today! Looked long & hard in the mirror - Are you REALLY willing to do what it takes? #MindBodySoul

    8/14 132.8 🏆🏋️‍♀️👣🤸🏼📖🎾 2+ hrs. 🎾Tennis wiped me out, but I managed 👣. The heat/humidity was unbearable today. I think index was close to 115°. Took it easy when I got home but managed w/electrolytes (LMNT). Nutrition for the W. 

    NSV: Improved mindset and determination. Such a huge difference  between lackadaisical vs. targeted efforts. Feeling transformed because I don’t “feel”  “denied“. Just taking care of business & grateful. #ENGAGED. Planning a structured WV walk  - then we’ll be working with an attorney all afternoon on the Hospital project. We’ve got some momentum after SIX MONTHS!

    (FYI: Six concerned citizens took up the gauntlet to fight city hall vs an out-of-place monstrous 5-story hospital garage w/helipad abutting a residential neighborhood. Five appeals later & we have one more to go on 9/9. We are gaining ground!) 💪🏻

    8/15 132.8 🤸🏼🚶‍♀️💓👣🏋️‍♀️📖

    Yesterday: 🚫🏆1545 cals. Ate 2 small oatmeal cookies & hummus @ attorney ’s home with one glass of 🍷 after our meeting. We are in terrific hands! WV walk 🚶‍♀️💓Z2 90 min!!! & 🏋️‍♀️when I got home. 👣13.5k. 🎾 🏋️‍♀️this morning. Clean house this afternoon!
