    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 EW 299.2 (-1.9)
    SW Rnd 306 299.2 EW 297.2 (-2)
    SW Rnd 307 297.2 EW 296.7 (-0.5)
    Net loss to date after five rounds: 0.9

    SW Rnd 308 296.7 GW for round 294.8 (same goal as my last few rounds)

    GW to end 2025: 284.7

    9/8: 298.2 - Mondays are my recovery from my weekend. However, I did come home and get a lot of chores done, so I'd say I was more productive than usual.
    9/9: 297.6 - Looked back on my weight to start this year and then again when I moved here in May and my weight was up 5 pounds before I moved and another 5 now. Disappointed but there's still time to get back to my start weight for the year at least. So, I've added that to my declarations.
    9/10: 297.3 - Husband made us a beautiful dinner last night. He also ensured we had veggies as part of the meal. Busy at work right now.
    9/11: 295.8 - Got a big smile on my face today. Feeling fairly in control. Hoping I can build on this momentum. My goal weight for this round is feeling achievable!
    9/12: 297.1? I did weigh in but my app didn't record it so this is my best guess from memory.
    9/13: DNW - Oops, got dressed today before I stepped on the scale! Nice date day with my husband. We checked out a volunteer fair and went to a winery.

    9/11 DNW

    9/12 DNW

    9/13 DNW Bags are packed to the absolute limit with treasure for my flight back to NY early tomorrow. My aunt and I stopped at every thrift store we saw. Haha I have to wear the $2 vintage woolrich winter coat on the plane because it doesn’t fit in my bags.

    I’m optimistic that the scale will reflect the long walks and not the spoonfuls of “top the tater” and old Dutch potato chips I shoveled into my face hole. Also just a reminder- Wisconsin is known for cheese and dairy (read I ate lots of cheese and ice cream).

    Hoping those apples I stole from every tree I walked by balance it out.

    I’m looking forward to hugging my DH and snuggling my little dogs.

    🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 308 (my 238th).

    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, will be difficult with hotel food all round!

    Soooh, in 5 hours we fly out for our annual holiday; in that time I want to eat at maintanence & not overindulge, but I am on holiday so will relax a tad, I can do it if I use my will power.

    Good luck for success everyone.

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

    9/7 141.6 – (trend 141.8) 11.64 miles walked. Can’t say that I’m not disappointed with this number especially after Friday’s goal weight being achieved, I was under calories yesterday, but over on carbs, I’ll blame the pizza for tea. Oh well, it is what it is!

    EW Rnd 307 141.6

    SW Rnd 308 141.6 (yesterday's end of round number)

    SW Rnd 308

    9/8 DNW - up at 1.30 am to travel to airport, good food yesterday.

    9/9 DNW - kept as much on track as possible. Buffet food at the hotel & all inclusive, kept portion control and made sensible choices, but so tempting! One adult beverage on arrival & one with dinner.

    9/ 10 DNW - 7.98 mile walked.

    9/11 DNW - 8.34 miles walked, still exercising portion control & sensible choices, 2 adult beverages. It is so relaxed here, first time for many years we have actually lay on the beach for a couple of hours and swam in the sea which is so warm & clear, wonderful to see all the fish big & small swimming!

    9/12 DNW - 8.4 miles walked. This is such a small resort that walking is limited, but we are managing to go 6 miles in the morning & make it up in the evening after dinner.

    9/13 DNW - 9.61 miles walked, ate a little more than other days, need to rein in today.

    9/14 DNW - 7.32 miles walked, it was soooo hot yesterday! Not complaining, that's what we paid our money for, but a struggle to get steps in!!

    “got by” yesterday. No real effort. DS birthday pizza party.

    9/9: 220.8
    ✏️🎯💓
    Missed the UPF goal with a Klondike Bar. I defrosted the Freezer downstairs and found that delightful little square of ultra-processed-ness. Reason? I may have done some emotional eating yesterday. We took our 15 year old Poppy into the vet for a final goodbye. Yes, I cried like a baby. (my eyes are leaking right now) The hard part was watching my DW’s emotional response after holding Poppy in the final moments. She and Poppy “had a thing.”

    9/10: 220.4
    ✏️💓
    Not a lot of discipline, but ounces keep coming off so far this round. This will not be sustainable with this week’s festivities.

    DW and I will staff one of the ticket booths tonight, selling ride tickets for the carnival. This is one of our Rotary service projects. I am always amazed how much money gets shoved at me through that teller window in exchange for a few moments of fun. We all like to see our children smile and laugh.

    9/11: 220.4
    ☣️💓
    Chasing my tail. I did not log anything, but I suspect I met my target.

    Tonight is the first night of 50th reunion festivities. One of the guys is hosting a “cigarfest” at the farm he grew up on. Mostly a campfire. It will probably be 8 or 10 of us out of a class of 300. (It may surprise some of you to know I have an occasional cigar. Boys like to play with fire. I don’t know how to log that in MFP! HA!)

    9/12: 219.6
    ✏️☣️🎯💓
    So much going on yesterday I had no time for boredom eating.

    9/13: 222.2
    ✏️☣️💓
    Too much of the wrong kind of food.

    Last night was a trip! Saw some folks I had not seen for 50 years. One of the guys tried a little too hard to look casual. floral shirt and flop-flops, along with (grey) hair down to his rear end. He looked like a Hawaiian Willie Nelson. Retired dentist.

    9/14: 222.6
    ✏️☣️🎯💓
    Festival parade yesterday with the precious grandkids. One more day until I go off-grid for a couple weeks.

    Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 308
    Sept 8 -17, 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 of 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress gain)
    SW MFP Jan 1, 2023  – 146.6

    GW Maintaining between 124 – 126 

    SW: 126.2

    8/8 – 126.2 I got through yesterday well. Was a very mixed day. It started with family visiting my mom so she could finally see DGS2 for his second birthday. She was totally blank. I have never seen her like this, to this extreme. So, the family together was fun, but mom’s condition/behavior was stressful. We’ll see what today brings.

    8/9 – 126.6 regarding the scale, the day ended poorly. I was wondering overnight whether it is easier for me to NOT start vs STOP once a binge has begun. Just something for me to contemplate. As for my mom, yesterday was as if Sunday never happened. She seems to know nothing about it and is acting “normal” (she is roughly stage 5 for “normal” reference). She apparently claims to not remember any of us visiting, and it was 7 of us for about an hour and a half. I would love to understand the “why”.

    8/10 – 127.2 yesterday, calories were good/fine. Maybe this was delayed results from the previous day. Was with mom again, and yesterday was like Sunday. Her healthcare provider is going to check her today, but zoom medical with her psychologist (for dementia) agreed that we may just be seeing a stress reaction to change (new bed and new aid added to her team).

    8/11 – 125.6 good day all around. Back into maintenance range. Got 5 out of 10 days in round 307.

    8/12 – 126.6 Over on calories. Dinner was at 4:15 (attended a wake), and just got too hungry later in the evening. Also, dinner and late night were “processed” items and overnight finger were tight. Theory is there might be salt and fluid retention showing her. I did try on rehearsal dinner and wedding dresses yesterday, and everything fits. Today’s food should be good and is planned out, and will NOT be a 4:15 dinner.

    8/13 – 126.8 a definite gift. Binge again. At least I know there is no time for a binge today or tomorrow, but still facing lots of foot. I plan to enjoy but be thoughtful.

    8/14 – 126.6 Made it through yesterday. Mom rose to the occasion and enjoyed the rehearsal dinner. She is skipping the wedding today. Pulling myself together this morning. I have to be at the venue before 8:30. Quickly drinking my coffee and gotta go.

    Anyone can join us at any time during the round.

    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.

    9/8 132.4🏆🎾🚶‍♀️💗👣🤸🏼📖

    I screwed up. I thought today was the last day of R#307. I will catch up tomorrow. #HSF #MindBodySoul Let’s do this!!💪🏻

    (THE City Council Meeting is tomorrow eve)! I’ve got tomorrow covered.

    9/9 132.4 🏆🎾🚶‍♀️💗👣🤸🏼Tossed & turned all night. Of course. I’m too groggy to figure out today but I WILL fuel my body & move. Full court press today -for tonight’s meeting. - I’m keeping up pretty well.  I need to 💦🏋️‍♀️. My two ✅ non-negotiables today.#HSF #MindBodySoul. 

    NSV: I’m in a MUCH better place (head) than I was 2 yrs or even 6mos ago. I’ve learned NEW habit formation for me is REALLY harder than I ever imagined. I have some new habits that I’m extra proud of (💦📖👣🚶‍♀️💗& 🥩P:E) but ohhhh soooo far to go. Some old /current habits (like self-talk) are still forever-present & destructive. Quick to realize but always there. Must be thankful for the awareness so I at least can change directions. 

    9/10 132.4 🏆🚶‍♀️💗👣🤸🏼 We lost. No regrets only sorrow for my town. I will need a few days to get through this… But I’m ready to embrace a ANOTHER new chapter and move on. Very proud of the consistency on this #HSF journey during this emotional time - at least this morning anyway. Maybe I have indeed created a few dependable healthy habits. Counting my blessings. Onward!

    9/11 132.0 🎾 🚶‍♀️💗👣🤸🏼 

    🙏Life forever changed yesterday. 🙏 

    9/12 132.4 🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼📖🙏💦 

    9/13 & 9/14. Plan to get back on track today. Little to no sleep… I didn’t go off the rails, but I was definitely off plan with portion control. Quite difficult to stay on plan when sleep deprived. Last night I crashed at 7:45PM and slept soundly till 6AM so I may have turned the corner to somewhat normalcy. Planning my WV 🚶‍♀️💗👣 🏋️‍♀️ this morning and visiting grandchildren.

    09/12-183.4 ✅ (Trend Weight: 184.9)

    09/13-184.0 ❌ (Trend Weight:184.8) I hated putting that ❌ there today when yesterday was such a perfect day. Macros were fabulous. Calories & carbs excellent. TMI in order. Very good exercise. The only thing out of line was sleep last night. Just 3.3 hours. I can only guess that after such a late weigh-in yesterday and a huge water shedding after my diuretic, I may have been slightly dehydrated yesterday. I guess this number is where I stand and start my day today and which is most likely accurate. Today I travel about 100 miles to take my DD shopping and DGS to bowl a few games. Lunch will be out, her pick. I guess there may be another squiggly line on my graph tomorrow. We’ll see.

    🐝🐝🐝🐝 09/14-186.2 ❌ (Trend Weight: 184.9) Bowling with the three littlest littles yesterday was lots of fun but two out of three of them actually beat my scores (the pre-school 4 yr old and the first grader). I used to be a pretty good bowler in my younger days! Lunch out was a Chinese buffet (Foodie DD’s choice). Within the hour of the buffet lunch (she ate a LOT), she ordered Two Large Pizza’s at the bowling alley! Unbelievable! It can’t be food insecurity, I promise she had a normal eating life growing up. I avoided the pizza and was done with food for the day after the buffet. Weight is up 2.2 today which is pretty typical for me after any restaurant meals of any kind. Hopefully I can stay home for a few days and get back to routine. I did shop while away and pick up more of my plan foods. I should be good to go. Enjoy your Sunday!

    SW Rnd 306 299.2 EW 297.2 (-2)
    SW Rnd 307 297.2 EW 296.7 (-0.5)
    Net loss to date after five rounds: 0.9

    SW Rnd 308 296.7 GW for round 294.8 (same goal as my last few rounds)
    GW to end 2025: 284.7

    9/8: 298.2 - Mondays are my recovery from my weekend. However, I did come home and get a lot of chores done, so I'd say I was more productive than usual.
    9/9: 297.6 - Looked back on my weight to start this year and then again when I moved here in May and my weight was up 5 pounds before I moved and another 5 now. Disappointed but there's still time to get back to my start weight for the year at least. So, I've added that to my declarations.
    9/10: 297.3 - Husband made us a beautiful dinner last night. He also ensured we had veggies as part of the meal. Busy at work right now.
    9/11: 295.8 - Got a big smile on my face today. Feeling fairly in control. Hoping I can build on this momentum. My goal weight for this round is feeling achievable!
    9/12: 297.1? I did weigh in but my app didn't record it so this is my best guess from memory.
    9/13: DNW - Oops, got dressed today before I stepped on the scale! Nice date day with my husband. We checked out a volunteer fair and went to a winery.
    9/14: 298.7 - No food was safe around me this weekend.

    🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 308 (my 238th).

    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, will be difficult with hotel food all round!

    Soooh, in 5 hours we fly out for our annual holiday; in that time I want to eat at maintanence & not overindulge, but I am on holiday so will relax a tad, I can do it if I use my will power.

    Good luck for success everyone.

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

    9/7 141.6 – (trend 141.8) 11.64 miles walked. Can’t say that I’m not disappointed with this number especially after Friday’s goal weight being achieved, I was under calories yesterday, but over on carbs, I’ll blame the pizza for tea. Oh well, it is what it is!

    EW Rnd 307 141.6

    SW Rnd 308 141.6 (yesterday's end of round number)

    SW Rnd 308

    9/8 DNW - up at 1.30 am to travel to airport, good food yesterday.

    9/9 DNW - kept as much on track as possible. Buffet food at the hotel & all inclusive, kept portion control and made sensible choices, but so tempting! One adult beverage on arrival & one with dinner.

    9/ 10 DNW - 7.98 mile walked.

    9/11 DNW - 8.34 miles walked, still exercising portion control & sensible choices, 2 adult beverages. It is so relaxed here, first time for many years we have actually lay on the beach for a couple of hours and swam in the sea which is so warm & clear, wonderful to see all the fish big & small swimming!

    9/12 DNW - 8.4 miles walked. This is such a small resort that walking is limited, but we are managing to go 6 miles in the morning & make it up in the evening after dinner.

    9/13 DNW - 9.61 miles walked, ate a little more than other days, need to rein in today.

    9/14 DNW - 7.32 miles walked, it was soooo hot yesterday! Not complaining, that's what we paid our money for, but a struggle to get steps in!!

    9/15 DNW - 7.83 miles walked.

    9/16

    @SModa61 Holy Hairbrush!!! Now that we’ve seen the “before”, can’t wait to see the “after”. Wise decision for mom to participate in the smaller celebration, she is part of the memory without overwhelming her.

    @Chapter_3 It’s so sad that big corporations (we have a “for profit” hospital system) when clearly shown that they have made a bad choice just blatantly refuse to admit it and change course. I’m proud of you for all of the work you did. I’m so proud that you stood up and fought for your community, with the intelligence, grace and tenacity of yours that we all admire.

    9/15 175.2 This will settle down by the end of this round. At least I certainly hope it will. DH and I celebrated my triumphant return with an untethered Mexican food outing. His triumph was doing his own laundry for a week AND mopping the floors!

    I opted to eat the really bad for you fried food options and two giant spicy margaritas. It was fun but I’m looking forward to giant salad for dinner tonight and getting back to my workouts.

    Fingers crossed, but maybe I’ll have a 173 point something for this round. Wouldn’t that be delightful!

    @_JeffreyD_ see you on the flip side!

    @ashleycarole86 Weekend eating is also my nemesis! But you gave me a giggle with your wording.

    @Chapter_3 great job with your effort to take care of your community! You put so much into it and I’m sorry it didn’t work out. But your community is so lucky to have you!

    @SModa61 I hope the wedding was wonderful!

    @musicsax sounds like a lovely holiday! Impressed that you’re managing to walk so much and check in here!

    @deepwoodslady Chinese buffet and pizzas right afterward?! Amazing metabolism is all I can think

    SW 214 Round 308 (1)

    9/8 - 214 - I just signed up for Caroline Girvan's new Iron series on her app and it officially starts today. I have done some of her Iron workouts on YouTube (free) and over the weekend, I saw a FB post about her new next level Iron series that starts today and just the idea of starting something, anything with other people makes me feel a little bit more motivated. Starting today, I am going to stick to a new plan and see it out for the next ten weeks. It is fitting that this round also started today. The Universe is telling me that today is the day, lol! About to go start Iron, day 1, now. 

    9/9 - 211 - Looks like I lost the water weight from eating some non-healthy food on Saturday. I did my first Iron Pro workout yesterday. Even though there were a LOT of lunges, it wasn't too bad because this series has a longer rest period between sets which I found very helpful. Because of that, I was able to complete all of the sets. I have upped my daily step goal to 7,000 each day but it has been very rainy here for the past couple of days that I haven't been able to get in a long walk. I did take a short walk yesterday in the rain while waiting for my daughter's bus so that helped me get to 5,500 steps for the day. I didn't eat over my planned macros either so I say my first day was a successful one! 

    9/10 - 210.5 - Half a pound down, I'll take that, lol! Even with more rain yesterday, I was able to meet my step goal of 7,500! I might have even gone over but once I hit my goal, I take my watch off (it's usually the evening anyhow) just because it's so heavy and bulky and I really don't care about wearing it. It does help keep me on track with my steps and helps if and when my daughter contacts me because I am usually not on my phone for most of the day. I also completed day 2 of Iron Pro! Just have to keep going!! Happy Wednesday!!

    9/11 - 210.5 - I had a lot of work yesterday and wasn't able to come close to my step count but that's okay, I did stick to my nutrition plan and got my third workout in. Iron Pro day 3 was much harder than I thought it was going to be! It was more lunges and at this point, my toes hurt from doing them, lol! It felt like a very LONG 30 mins! Today is supposed to be a rest day per the Iron Calendar so I think I will just do some random exercises from some IG posts I've saved.

    9/12 - TGIF! Yesterday was a rest day in regards to the Iron program and even though I had planned on it being more of an active rest day, I didn't feel well so I just went for a short walk. Today is Day 4 of the Iron series and it's supposed to be a full body day so hopefully if it includes lunges, it won't be that many! My goal for this weekend is to not binge eat and plan out my food just like I do during the week. I usually spend all week going back down the scale from what I gained over the weekend. That may work in maintenance but not if I want to keep losing. 

    Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

    9/15 - 209 - Weekend went by fast but the weather here was beautiful so I spent most of my time outside just doing yard work. I didn't track my food over the weekend but I also was very mindful of what I was eating and didn't binge eat like usual. Weight is slowly coming off. Not feeling so well today but I am still hopeful that I will get my workout in for today.
