Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 305
Replies
-
@fermatamb7212 My MFP starting weight is a WW backfill for my highest weight ever, back in september of 2001. So that first "9/8" is 9/8/2001. Each of those next 9/8's are a subsequent year. I have way more data points I could add, but aren't really necessary. In my later WW days, I was tending the meetings for group support, but I was using MFP and not the WW program. So interestingly, there was already some data points already in Mfp for those years. Been MFP only since 2020.
(editing to add, somewhere along the way, I must have concluded that high weight was 9/8 not the correct 9/29/2001)

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.
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!
8/15 – 127.0 Wow! Even though I made good efforts, I figured that day after a restaurant would be an up, even if temporary. I did my standard double small plate/appetizer dining, a “tarantula” cocktail, and split the chocolate cake. Figured out how to keep my calories low during the day. Purposely ran errands and got myself out of the house so lunch was delayed until early afternoon. It apparently worked. I have today pre-tracked, and a plan for tomorrow pre-tracked, but will adjust it as the day evolves.
8/16 – 127.0 (estimate) did not remember to weigh until after my shower and partially drunk coffee – scale said 127.4 with wet hair and ¼ of large coffee gone. At least it is not my last day for the round, so it matters (in my mind) less. Today is DGS#2 babysitting day. Have all sort of fun planned including making cookies and cream ice cream and chaffles. Tentative day is pre-tracked and am bringing healthy food with me. I will adjust as needed throughout the day.
8/17 – 126.2 I last saw a 126.X in April 2024. Total calories were fine yesterday, though nutritional balance was not great. But poor nutrition for a single day is ok. Did an hour lazy pace stroller walk with DGS#2 last evening. He enjoyed it, which was great. The whole babysitting day went VERY well. Proud of myself and a confidence booster (I kept him alive!!).Since I am in MA this morning (driving back to ME in an hour), I decided to pull out my old WW records. I looked up what I weighed at DD’s wedding. Was 126.2 5 days after and 125.2 16 days before. I did not remember being consistently that low at the time. Going to take my old records and start feeding some into my MFP weight history since I use my 9/29/01 as my starting “high” weight.
8/18 – 126.6 Super happy with the results of this round. Amazing that it works when I actually stick to the plan. :P Last night I did choose (key word here) to have two servings of pretzels after dinner which put me over my target by 179 kcal. I was just dealing with too much after dinner hunger, and made that decision. I’ve run out of pre-tracked days, so I am going to make a cup of coffee and get on that! Today’s challenge is matinee movie, followed by pizza. Gotta sort my plan.End of Round 305 count down: 27 days until the wedding!

@SModa61 I love the graph. (but then again I am a dork) I think we can all relate to the roller coaster.
(I agree with @fermatamb7212 on how MFP does the dates on their graphs. How hard would it be for them to just put the year after the date and month so we don't have to manually count the years back? I don't have enough fingers and toes. They should realize this is a years-long process!)

@SModa61 Since you showed us yours…
The dates are misleading because MFP notes every two years here. My first date was 12/21/11. You can tell by the graph when I was serious and when I was just playing.

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.

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.

Yesterday was a long road trip to get DW’s vocal cord situation looked at by a very good doctor. Good news; she has a diagnosis and a treatment plan! (too much detail to go into)Bad news; we had lunch out with her cousin at an awesome pizza joint. Took me over calories and UPF goals. I am still inspired though.

Not a stellar performance yesterday but just under the wire. We took the gal next door out for pizza. Part of a thank you for all she does for us when we travel. Checks our mail, waters the dog, brings deliveries inside to combat porch pirates, and even will mow the grass and scoop snow so we look like we are home. She is golden. We make sure she feels appreciated, plus we return the favor when needed.8/17: 221.8
✏️☣️🎯💓
Overall, a day of self-control and goals met. Took a longish bike ride yesterday. Strava called it 17+ miles. (heck @musicsax almost walks that far in a day !)Have a good Sunday everyone!
8/18: 219.8
✏️☣️🎯
Yesterday was good in every way but exercise. I just didn’t do it.What I did do was sluff off 2 pounds somehow, which I consider cruel anomaly. (it will sluff back on tomorrow HA!) Even without this I was headed for a nice reduction in ten-day average. I will try to keep this going next round.
A little bit about my UPF goal. While not perfectly met, I am convinced it made a huge difference in my behavior and my results for the round. (progress, not perfection) This goal was living rent-free in my head all round, and thankfully so. So many pitfalls were avoided out there. I really should make it a life goal, not just a ten-day goal.
On a happy side note, today my DW and I celebrate 46 years of maawwage. (princess bride reference there) We actually started dating 50 years ago when we were kids.

Ultimate goal: 130Rnd 301 Ending Weight: 144.2
Rnd 302 Ending Weight: 145.3
Rnd 303 Ending Weight: 143.3
Rnd 304 Ending Weight: 144.38/9: 144.4. I need to get my head in the game. I'm not making any progress. I need to start tracking again and get back to the gym.
8/10: 142.4. I've been exhausted lately. The kind that's not from a lack of sleep. I'm starting to wonder if there is something wrong with me. I might need to find time to get to the doctor, but it's really hard with having young kids. I haven't had the energy to really work out in a while. Food choices could be better but it takes more energy to plan and prepare healthier options. I'm just struggling right now.
8/11: 144.1.
8/12: 141.5
8/13: 140.9: Honestly, I just haven't had much of an appetite lately. I have an appointment with my psychiatrist today. I'm hoping she'll change my meds. I'm still going on walks in the morning, but haven't been running. I really need to start running again if I want to be ready for the half marathon in October.
8/14: 140.5. I finally dragged myself back to the gym for a 3 mile treadmill run. Eating still isn't great. My psychiatrist added another medication so I'm hoping I'll notice a difference quickly.
8/15: 140.5. I ate a little better yesterday and did a 4 mile treadmill run.
8/16: 141.5.
8/17: 140.3.
8/18: 141.0. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I've been undereating for most of this round, so it wasn't a healthy loss. I am starting to feel a bit better though, so now I need to get my act together and start taking care of myself a bit more.
I did another 4 mile treadmill run yesterday.

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 - 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!
8/16 DNW. ate too late & slept poorly. Just finished 5mi WV walk. 🎾again wiped me out for the day. However, I did sign up for three 🏋️♀️classes next week: M/W/F @ 5 :30 & 6:30am. One trainer, 6-8 participants with a set routine @ own pace . The trainer walks around ensuring proper form. I put on a “maintenance mindset” @ dinner - 1.5 healthy appetizers… (octopus & tuna). No dessert! Two more days to finish strong!
8/17 🏆🤸🏼🚶♀️💓👣🏋️♀️📖 but poo poo the ⚖️! DAMN! no TMI for days I guess. Not enough water 💦. But a perfect nutrition day. Pg ✅I don’t mind explicable gains, but I sincerely detest the inexplicable gains. I had big workouts yesterday- release soon? I do tend to weigh more after big workout days so… Clean & a calorie VICTOR so let’s keep on keeping on. Happy Sunday! Oh, I have been sleeping better so that’s a W! Finish 💪🏻 #HSF
133.0 it is what it is I wont try to figure it out this morning.
🎾👣🏆 🤸🏼📖 Just completed one hour of 🏋️♀️at the gym. Everything I did there I can do at home except for one exercise. I possessed a “weight-loss mindset” for 8/10 days and ended up same. Even when we went out 2x, I was at maintenance. Oh, and let’s not forget two cookies and a glass of wine… Life is hard at 66! 😎 Time to examine what I’m doing and “re-something”. I give myself a B+ this round for effort, but an F for results vs effort.
NSV: I was willing to go to the gym this morning to try something new! Trying something new is always a positive. This morning was at a gym 20 min away. It’s just not worth the drive. You see, I was contemplating joining in addition to my current club. My current club is more of a “country club”, and doesn’t offer a similar class. So what I do @ gym I’ll have to implement at home and have a bit more discipline. I enjoyed getting it done from 5:30AM to 6:30AM. Next round, for starters, I will follow this template at home. If I finish at 6:30AM, that gives me plenty of time for my 💗Z2walk. 💪🏻

My start was 2011 and it's showing in 2 year increments…. Maybe MFP wasn't such a good idea as I've mostly gained!! Significant drop in 2018, 2022. Very eye-opening…..

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.
8/15: 294.8 - I have weighed under 295 since July 3, so this feels like a good moment. My flight today is delayed so I have more time on my hands at home. I think I'll use some of it to get more movement and exercise. I won't be able to weigh in for the next two days, so I'll be back just in time for the end of the round!
8/16: DNW
8/17: DNW
8/18: 299.2 - The last two rounds contained two of my major weight retainers: TOM and flights. This uptick wasn't as bad as the first. Will be working on it!3 -
Happy anniversary to you and your wife @_JeffreyD_

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. 🤞
8/15: 183.4 🤗Today is my weekly weigh-in day. ⬇️-1.6 🎉I’ll take it! -5.2 total 🙌It was another crazy busy day yesterday. In addition to lunch w/fam, it was book club night. Hoping to practice tap today in addition to lots of household chores/errands, etc. No obligations. Sick and tired of hot temps. I want to walk, but not in this. 🥴Those of you that do, I admire you. I’m also not a morning person AT ALL, so getting up early to beat the heat is not an option.
8/16: 182.7 🏆Yay! Happy Dance!!!💃One thing I’m not used to is allowing myself to feel hungry until it’s time to eat again. In past dieting stints, I would tell myself that that hunger burn is actually my body burning stored fat. In reality, I think it’s the hormone ghrelin, but I like my analogy better. I drink more water and then try to hold on until a reasonable amount of time. This thinking naturally sent me down a deep-dive rabbit hole on ghrelin. I found an interesting article by the Cleveland Clinic that explained it more fully. If interested, click here. Fascinating. 🧐
8/17: 182.1 😱🤯Okay, I know my numbers aren’t going to keep dropping like this for long, but for now, I’m loving the ride. I can’t stress enough how much it helps that DH also wants to lose weight now. He’s a hobby mixologist and always wanted me to try his fancy drinks. Of course, they were high calorie! Now, he seldom makes those drinks. Yay! It was fun, but it was torture on my goal of losing weight. Going out always meant ordering a cocktail and trying some fancy strange drink. And let’s just say all the eating out…well…we all know how that is on the waistline. It’s almost like my celiac diagnosis was a blessing in disguise. Eating out sucks!!!! Yay…for now. 😜
Also, one more thing…changing my goal with MFP from 2 lbs/week to 1.5 was a positive game changer! I went from 1200 cal to 1700 cal per day. I no longer feel like I’m being deprived. I went on my calendar and projected what my 4-week weight losses should be through February. I can see it and know it’s possible. This calorie amount is do-able. In fact, I think I can maintain this long-term. ‘Nuff said.
8/18: 182.9 😊Even though I’m up from yesterday, I’m still 2 lbs down from the round SW. I’ll probably be up tomorrow too, bc I’m going out to lunch with a friend at a restaurant that has GF onion strings!!! I’m having those and enjoying them. I also made a labor intensive vegetarian dish last night…my first time cooking tofu. My DOC’s GF is veg, so I’m trying to learn some dishes for when they come to visit. It was okay…not my best. Then we sampled GF & NF cupcakes (½ of ea) for my DSD’s wedding. OMG! 😆Amazing! BTW, if you’re needing a GF and NF (nut free) cupcake (which are nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find), Antonina’s Bakery. Wow! Their products are carried by Walmart and some other retailers. Here’s a pic of my GF/veg dinner—Noodle Stir Fry in Panang Curry Sauce (tons of veggies):
👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE 👍👍 See ya next round!!!

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).
8/15 - 132.8 🏃🏻♀️ Both kids in childcare for the first time since May this morning! The time before that 12:30 pick-up ticks by verrry quickly, though. I did manage a dog walk and a treadmill run this morning. My seafood dinner last night was delicious but a bit of a production. DH shucked a dozen oysters and made cocktail sauce. I made a New York Times shrimp pasta recipe, from-scratch baked french fries, mussels in wine, garlic, and butter sauce, and boiled some delicious fresh corn on the cob. I'm so grateful my kids like food. Otherwise I wouldn't bother with elaborate dinners. Of course that love of food is only going to increase in price as they grow into young men. We tried protein pasta (inspired by @Chapter_3and other friends) and it was not a hit unfortunately. It also made me very gassy last night. Ah well, it's good to try new things! Tonight DH is going out for dinner so I may take the opportunity to do breakfast for dinner with the kids (DH HATES breakfast for dinner but I love it and grew up doing it at least once a week). Hope everyone's weekend gets off to a strong start!
8/16 - 132.0 🚫🏃🏻♀️ Very pleased with my weight today! Unfortunately it’s Saturday and my good friend’s 40th bday party. I’m going to have to strategize if I want to maintain my week’s loss. The menu is tacos and cake and, of course, booze. I think I’ll bring seltzers to alternate between drinks and go easy. I’ll also try to save a bunch of calories for the evening, but the most exercise I’ll do today is probably walking the dogs. I’m also planning to canvass for a local political candidate so I’ll get some walking in that way too. Boy, weekends are tough!
8/17 - 130.8! Fun number but I can’t trust it after a night of drinking. Had a blast at my friend’s bday party! All women, dressed to impress, pot luck taco bar and karaoke in our friend’s living room. Couldn’t ask for a better celebration of my “sister wife” (we co-parent a ton since it takes a village)! I moderated fairly well so I think the after-effects will be minimal this time other than the dehydration today. Today is chore day and I’m supposed to go for a run. May take the kids swimming since that’s the only way I can spend any time outside in this heat 🥵
8/18 - 133.0 🏃🏻♀️🚫 Okay! Down a pound for the round! I’ll take it. Two splurging Saturdays there. Hopefully the damage is done from the recent one! I’ll probably have the same goals as last round. I’ve already planned dinners and grocery shopped for the week today so I’m feeling good heading into R306. See everyone there!5 -
It’s fun to see all of the graphs! Mine shows a complete inability to maintain a loss. I was going to say that my highest weights were logged when pregnant. However, I noticed that my first weight above 150 was only like 6 weeks into my pregnancy! I really cut loose after I did a triathlon in 2017 I guess! Just glad I’m cutting this rebound off a little earlier.

8/09- 166.08/10- 167.58/11- 168.38/12- 167.08/13- 167.18/14- 167.88/15- 167.18/16- DNW8/17- DNW8/18- 168.8 - Woke up both days very early - before sunrise- due the pups and didn't bother with weighing in since I was planning to go back to sleep on the couch. Saturday I didn't fall back asleep and ended up going grocery shopping before BF woke up since I knew we had an event to attend early and I needed to get that done. Sunday I ended up sleeping 12 hours! Completely unheard of for me to sleep more than 9 hours at any one time - after the dogs woke me up and did their business outside, we all fell back asleep on the couch and I needed it. I felt like I was seconds away from faceplanting concrete all day Saturday. I'm feeling bloated due to the event (it was hot and water was limited. I drank more than a gallon of water, but it wasn't enough) and Sunday's food wasn't ideal, I was just filling gaps in my macros, honestly. The scale is reflecting all that added water retention but I'm confident it will drop off. I under-ate macros Saturday - food availability and honestly I was too hot to eat. I felt sick the few times I did make myself eat because I was overheated. I knew I needed to, though. Food this week is prepped and pre-logged. I'm ready to be fully back on track and for this new round!2 -
@_JeffreyD_ - hope you & your DW have had/are having an amazing day celebrating 🎉❤️

The following revelation that you shared with us on 13th has been in my mind ever since.
"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. ..…..... 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! 😁"
So each time I've been tempted to stray off track I've said to myself, "The only thing stopping me from getting what I want is me".
Thank you for that revelation, I hope it's worked for you as much as it has for me this last 6 days. Looking forward to taking it forward to the next round 😁.

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 its not a race but its frustrating. Going to enjoy my daughter before she goes back to school. We are going to get our nails done.
8/15 203.4 - I just spent the day staring into the heat of the day, cleaning, and getting my daughters stuff ready to head back to college.
8/16 204 - Great day a lift a thon for some more family time. I feel like all we have done is eat this weekend. I did get to walk just before dark. It was super hot today and now the ragweed is out and its just killing my allergies.
8/17 204.8 - So my girl went to college. I have been a little down. She also has a boy she likes so once there and away from home I could tell she was happy. So its really bittersweet. I really get in a funk for a few days and then I am ok.
8/18 203.6 - Still in a funk today but my mom came today. She always comes the first week on my son's school, he will be a sophomore in high school. She goes with us to meet his teachers and walk his schedule. I was good all day but tonight I was sad. I tried to cuddle my 17 year old son but he was not having it. 🤗 Anyway I told my husband I decided we needed a project together. I mentioned guitar lessons he said do what? No way he said. We laughed so hard at the thought of us strumming away and he liked an art class more like pottery. He said then we can be like the movie ghost at least. 😂 Typical man. Well anyway I expect I should be better this next week.

@musicsax Hi! I am glad that my little insight was helpful. 😁 It seemed like such a "duh" thought for me but I am the only one standing in my way. If I put the work in, I can't fail. I am determined more than ever to finally finish this time! 😁

@_JeffreyD_ Fun seeing your chart. Also happy anniversary. 46 years!! Looks like we may have similar histories. I met DH in 8th grade (he hated me - I got him in trouble). Then we started dating at the end of 9th grade. When we married DH was 22. Me, 21 (but turned 22 on honeymoon). Heading towards 42 years in October. I hope you had a wonderful day!
@Chapter_3 cool seeing the JGMTD data entry frequency. I go hot and cold with my "check-in" on MFP. Maybe I'll backfill my last few years of JGMTD. Interesting to see that your and my high and lows are roughly 40 lb apart.
@itladyee Data is good. There is always the opportunity to learn from it. Bravo on your consistency!
@fermatamb7212 I will be looking into that Antonia's Bakery products. Soon to be DIL has many dietary constraints. I am always looking for ways to share something nice with her while not making her sick from my cooking.
@pezhed Maintaining losses is SO hard IMO. My chart shows that as well. Like you also stated, my new goals are to stop any ups sooner than I have in the past. That is a win for me.

@SModa61 I met DW first time at church when I was in 6th grade (she in 5th). She detested me. (super shy, burr haircut, black horn rimmed glasses with tape on the bridge holding them together, taller than most and a bean pole.) Became good friends in High School, dated soon after graduation. When I asked her out, she said yes before I could complete the question. HA! Married 4 years later when I was 22 and she 21. I still had 2 years of school to finish.
