Day/Weight/Comment

ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 184.0

09/18-187.8 ❌ (Trend Weight – 185.0) I’m up almost 4 pounds overnight. No TMI x 3, no diuretic for several days due to busy schedule, out to dinner yesterday with son after the salon appointments, mini binge last night after getting the taste of sugar in my mouth. Yeah, all the things. I’m always amazed at how big the overnight number can be, just from the fluid backup alone. No time again today for my medication, too many places to go on Thursdays. I’ll try tomorrow but honestly, it may have to wait until Saturday. At least I’m getting my workouts in at night.

🐝🐝🐝🐝09/19-185.0 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 185.0) With stomach still hurting I did a liquid diet yesterday eating similarly to what I did one day earlier in the week, trying to give my intestines a rest. This caused the overnight whoosh but there are still several extra pounds here that need to be contended with and my diuretic will likely help. My weight today is a very late weigh-in. I usually don’t weigh on Fridays at all due to my schedule. I have been eating more yogurt lately due to some delicious seasonal flavors I can only get once per year in the fall. I wonder if that is what is causing the stomach distress/gassiness? Pain has been spastic and intense.

I love her already!!! But…

She’s having a tough time, first time away from home, first time with “these” people , first time in a crate, first collar…. I Cant wait to get her home and give her some love!!! 4 hours!!!

SModa61 · September 19

@itladyee what a cutie! Congratulations!

@quiltingjaine certainly consider to doctor. If you have vertigo, which I have had once or twice, the medical that helps with the spin is meclizine, which is the same thing as Bonine or non-drowsy dramamine, just at a customized dose. I hope you feel better. Maybe you will wake to it gone in the morning!!!

Went for a short walk this morning and practiced tap. Then went to an art fair and walked around all evening. Lots of activity again. We’ll see tomorrow.

🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 309 (my 239th).

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.

I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.

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

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

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

SW Rnd 309 Using weight from 9/20; first weigh in on return from holiday – 146.3

9/17 DNW - 6.3 miles walked. Had a lovely day, hotel spoiled us last night, all sensible eating went out the window!!

9/18 DNW - 9.3 miles walked. Caught the bus to Ibiza Town, wandered around the port, castle, cathedral & maze of old streets.

9/19 DNW - 8.94 miles walked, did favorite walk of the holiday to the lighthouse and back along the coastal rocks & pm last lay on beach & swim in the sea.

9/20 146.3 – that’s the holiday damage!! And a shock to be 0.3 pounds back into the overweight category !! My giddy aunt!! Here we go working to lose 1.5 pound by the end of the round. No structured walking due to flying back home.

musicsax · September 20

@itladyee - love your new little baby, does she have a name? She might accept the crate easier if she had a cuddly blanket to lie on? I am probably jumping the gun here, as I'm guessing you will have all these things ready for her at home. Is she a labrador?

Zaxa2021 · September 20

5'3, 36 yo, SAHM to 4 year old twins with disabilities. Life is hard right now, but I'm doing what I can to take care of myself as well as everyone else.

Rnd 308 Ending Weight: 143.5

9/18: 143.5. Yesterday was not a good day. I ate way too much. Again. I'm going to try to really buckle down for these next 10 days.

9/19: 141.6. I had a much better day yesterday. Still not perfect, but I showed some control overall. I'm happy it's Friday. My boys are spending the weekend with my mom, so I get some much needed time to relax and organize my life.

9/20: 143.6. Not surprised, I ate extra yesterday and carb loaded to prepare for a long run I'm doing this morning. It was controlled and deliberate. Kids are away at Grandma's this weekend. I'm looking forward to having some time to relax and prepare for next week.

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 308 End Weight 173.0

9/18 172.8
9/19 173.6

9/20 173.4 I am super happy with this considering I definitely ate at a higher calorie level yesterday. I was hungry so I ate. Nothing terrible and not a binge, just hungry.

Probably from my first morning of really intense workouts in the last two weeks. It felt good to push hard but I was tired, like barely kept my eyes open tired at 5pm.

Kicking off the weekend with body combat this morning. I intend to have an active morning and in the afternoon walk to the river festival- eat sausage and peppers, share a fried dough with DH while slurping on a quart of Sangria. The mile walk home is all up hill.

There will be some scale damage! Party on the boat this evening.

I better try to get some chores done before all of these good times!!!

Round 309 18-27 September 2025

Please join us starting on 9/18 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 309

Anyone can join us at any time during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful, we can do this, you can do this.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. You have only one hour to edit your post. Post every day to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non-scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share. Make the board your own - track what is important for YOUR JOURNEY.

FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all the posts.

@itladyee squeeeal! The cuteness! Hope the nights are going okay

@quiltingjaine hope you feel more yourself, soon, that sounds unpleasant

@deepwoodslady hope you get to the bottom of things and the tummy behaves itself

@LEBP14 i have been having editing problems sometimes too! And then some days it’s fine. Frustrating!

Did so much better yesterday. When I focus on lower carb it’s not just about fat loss. It also really helps with my Hashimotos inflammation and joint pain. Not doing keto or anything, just keeping things very clean.

Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 309
Sept 18 -27, 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: 127.6

9/18 – 127.8 I will get myself together. Excuses include “after wedding” Monday. Tues spent 4 hours trying to help acclimate new private aid for mom, who then quit and snuck off the job two hours before her end time. Wed working on aftermath, and today, back to maine to clean everything there and close it down. I distract easily.

We are going out to eat tonight, but I know the restaurant and menu.

9/19 – 127.2 Just mildly better than past few days.

9/20 – 128.0 Now that was cruel. :P I finally did a great day. First since last weekend. I will say though that over the years I have seen that “day after pasta” day often shows an up. Yes, we had pasta last night, but I tracked it thoroughly.

@musicsax ~ I had a blanket in the travel crate but she kicked it to the side which was smart considering her nausea. She’s a puggle (beagle + pug)

@stephanj
The night went well all things considered. She woke up every 2 hours or so. Each time i took her out, she peed. No accident (knock on wood)

Name: Princess Lola. I was swaying towards Nyla but 5 year old Julian suggested Lola. I thought it would be a great bonding opportunity so Lola it is!
