Yesterday was a travel day home with some functional exercise. I should be back in the saddle for a few rounds now. I need it.

10/11: 222.2

Didn’t log until late in the day, so the right hand didn’t know what the left hand was doing. They were both feeding the pie hole as it turns out...

Just happy the number did not go up. I will make an effort today.

10/12: 221.8
✏️💓
Did a bit better. Had more social eating and drinking than planned. Protein was my highest macro for a change.

My sports teams lost yesterday. What a waste of time to sit there and watch them on TV when I could just go for a walk simply check the score afterward. Much less anxiety and stress.

Going to a wedding today. There will be cake.

10/13: 220.0
✏️🎯💓
Overall, under control yesterday, except for ultra processed food (100 calories). I am not trying to avoid UPF for calories. Mainly trying to avoid poison.

10/14: 219.4
✏️☣️💓
Had some sweet moments with the DGD and DGS yesterday. Not just relationally either. The “boys” went out to the park playground and then for some frozen custard while the “girls” had a nap. Caused me to miss the target goal, but so worth it.

I am very thankful for my health to be able to have days like yesterday. I know things can turn on a dime based on friends and family around me.

10/15: 220.4
✏️☣️🎯💓
Good day yesterday. We winterized our beloved screened-in porch. Always sad, because it needs to be done while weather is still good enough to keep using it. Otherwise it’s miserable. The rug needs to be bone dry so we can roll it up and put it in the basement. Pulled the furniture out and cleaned it. Hosed down the floor, and screens. Put the table in the basement. Now he porch is able to be used, but not as cozy.

I followed up with a long bike ride. Technically my weight should be down, but I am currently a container.

Round 311 8–17 Oct 2025

Please join us starting on 8 October for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 311

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.

Jane 50+ 5'5

Starting Weight 173.3 lbs.

Goal Weight: 136 lbs.

10/13 – 172.6 I tried to participate in this group in September but was travelling too much for work and wasn't able to weigh daily or consistently - but more stable schedule now to focus on this.

10/14 – 171.7 Got in my steps yesterday but didn't get any structured exercise in. Food on point, no alcohol, and fairly good sleep (internet went out at 1:30 a.m. which woke me up because my sleep white noise sounds stopped playing, it was so weirdly quiet)

10/15 - 170.9 Was on the low end of my steps yesterday but still in my target range, did a 20-minute walking intervals workout on the treadmill after dinner, easing back into some sort of structured exercise after being injured for the past year and unable to workout. Food on point and no alcohol yesterday, sleep was okay but was up 2 hours early this morning for an appointment. Would love to end this round in the 160's tomorrow but that might be a big ask.

I’m Amanda, 5’2” 40F in Appalachian Virginia.

Non-scale goals (tracked for prior day):

🏃🏻‍♀️ Intentional movement 7/10 days

🚫 No alcohol 7/10 days

📝 Track 5/10 days

SW Rnd 311 - 129.4

RGW - 127.4

10/8 - 127.6 🚫 Surprised to see such a low number today! Arrival of TOM probably meant release of some water I was unknowingly holding on to. It also meant cravings, lethargy, and a headache yesterday. Planning to get my act together today. I forewent all activities this morning for cleaning out and reorganizing my pantry. Had so much expired stuff in there 😳 Hoping to get the dogs outside with the boy and sneak downstairs for a quick strength session.

10/9 - 128.0 🏃🏻‍♀️🚫 Got my strength training in yesterday but could only manage a short walk with the dogs & kiddo through the endless whining. I’m super out of it today for some reason. Maybe distracted by this potential career transition, maybe tired from having a cold. Who knows. Planning to squeeze in strength training this afternoon.

10/10 - 128.6 🏃🏻‍♀️🚫 Okay, today’s focus is starting to track again. I do not like to be up heading into the weekend. We have some plans this weekend but it won’t be the social marathon that last weekend was.

I did my strength training this morning and plan to spend the rest of the morning cleaning the house until I pick 4yo up. The time flies so we’ll see how far I get.

10/11 - 128.8 🏃🏻‍♀️

10/12 - DNW 🏃🏻‍♀️

10/13 - 131.0. Wow, really just gave up yesterday and all weekend really. I don’t know what happened. One minute I was making baked goods for my kid’s Fall Festival at school and the next minute I was tasting all the other parents’ snacks. Then had 2 beers by the fire after eating a 1200-calorie sub from Jersey Mike’s for dinner. Time to get myself back on track today. I’m subbing at the local high school this morning but have a lot of downtime, so I’ll make a meal plan and a workout plan during this teacher’s planning period.

10/14 - 129.8 🏃🏻‍♀️🚫 I’m so bad at tracking. I do feel like I did better yesterday, but I tracked up through the afternoon yesterday and found I had very few calories remaining. But I still ate like I had plenty left but didn’t track dinner or beyond. My day is off to a chaotic start but I just tracked everything so far. Planning a compliant afternoon and evening!

10/15 - 128.0 🏃🏻‍♀️ When I posted yesterday I forgot it was book club day, so my evening wasn’t super compliant after all. I was less grabby with the snacks most of the day, though. Wondering if my 2 glasses of wine made me dehydrated for weigh-in this morning? If it’s a real weight then maybe I can make my goal if I can behave myself the rest of the challenge.

I’m subbing this morning, and on the app they use, the descriptions are super vague. Turns out I’m subbing PE! For which I’m not dressed at all, but I’m guessing I won’t have to do many demonstrations. This afternoon I’m going to try to get in some Peloton lifting and get the 4yo outside. The weather is phenomenal this week!

Round 311

Oct 8 - 17, 2025

Female, 54, 5”1’

HW: 209.5

SW: 198.0

RGW: 195

FGW: 175

UGW: 140

I’m Kira, working, an empty nester, and married. I have tried many diets and programs over the years, but nothing has worked for long. Now I am working on loving life and trying to be healthier.

You don’t have to be perfect; you just must be better than you were before.

Goals for this round are:

1. Check in every day.

2. Weigh in every day.

3. Drink my water every day.

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE

10/8 - 198.0 I am happy to be back under the 200 mark and am pushing to keep it that way. Talking yesterday with my husband I realized that when I quit smoking 29 years ago, I replaced it with carbs and sugar. That was when my weight started pilling on. I am working towards replacing sugar and carbs with better foods, one day at a time

10/9 - 198.0 Had a great night last night ate way too much but enjoyed the time with friend watching the first Oiler's game of the season, right till the bitter end of a shootout.

10/10 - 198.8 not a great day yesterday, ate too much junk. I felt sic but not really sic enough to stop everything and rest. I hate those kinds of days.

10/11 - 198.2 felt better yesterday, had meetings all afternoon, ran into another Realtor at the office who hasn't seen me since early September, she saw a difference in my face and asked me what I was doing to lose weight. This lifted my spirits so much. I have been thinking that I am the only one who sees a difference. We chatted about it and are going to meet up this week and go a for a walk.

10/12 – 197.8 yesterday was a good day. My son came over to put new brakes on his girlfriend’s car. I got a chance to talk with her while he was doing that. I really like this girl. She fits into our family so nicely. I took my youngest young lady to IKEA to look around. She wants to get a new bedroom set. We found one that she likes but they didn’t have all the pieces in stock. Last night was the second hockey game of the season for the Oiler’s, they won, I hate the 8pm start time, it just feels too late.

10/13 – 200.8 not happy to see the 200’s again, but with Thanksgiving meal yesterday it was expected. We had a friend over yesterday that we haven’t seen since last year this time. We’ve all been busy. He looked so much better, has lost just over 100lbs, told me he has 80 to go.

10/14 – 197.8 happy to see the weight drop back again. Yesterday was a much more relaxing day. Did a bit of work around the house and then relaxed.

10/15 – 196.6 very happy to see this number this morning. Yesterday was an easy day. I did quite a bit of computer work and then watched the election results for NFLD and the Oiler’s game. The oil won, Skinner got his shut out. Finally got all my water in!!!

AR10at50 · October 15

60 y.o. 2017 SW-187 lbs.

UGW-129 Thank you @musicsax !!!🌸

10/8-138-Back to another day at the quilt retreat with my own food.

10/9-137-That was lucky after having just a bit of the homemade banana ice cream and banana cake I took to the retreat yesterday. I make my green protein smoothie the night before and just grab it in the morning and go and that really helps.
10/10-138-I’ll take that because I had a cinnamon roll and a couple other snacks yesterday but did not eat the carby lunch they offered. Last day of the retreat but going to play pickle ball on the way.
10/11-139-Had two chicken thighs and don’t care that my weight is up because I didn’t eat junk. Off to my nieces wedding.
10/14-135-Been behaving myself and if I drink my green protein drink first, I have no desire to eat any junk.

10/15-136-Did not have my green protein drink but instead had meat twice and it just stays with me longer. Today, I am making turkey soup and the salt rom that won’t help. At least it will be homemade.

I’m back, ready to go.

Goals for the rest of 2025

Eat mindfully. 🍎
Regain regular exercise habit beyond gardening. Walk! 👟
Check in here daily. ✏️

Trend Weight starting back 10/7 was 199.7; end of last round — R310, 198.5

Date, Trend Weight, Comments

10/08 — 198.3
Back on track. Lots of yard work to do—I look at it as bonus calories burned.

10/09 — 198.5
One of those mysterious upticks that seem completely independent of yesterday’s food and exercise. Oh well! Just keepin’ on.

10/10 — 198.5

Had a bit of a snack attack last night, but kept it to a piece of Dave’s Good Seed, thin sliced, with a thin spread of peanutbutter, eaten slowly. Quite satisfying. It was a lovely day and I had a nice walk in the morning, then did some garden work. I’m planting bulbs today—Spring is coming! And I finished two knitting projects this week—now if we’d get some sweater weather I’ll be all set. The collar will lie straight after I block it, but here they are. I’m really into fall colors right now. 😊🧶

10/11 — 198.5

10/12 — 198.4

I finally got my bulbs planted yesterday, though I’d planned to do it Friday, and I’m sort today—too much bending and squatting! I guess I know what kind of exercise I should be adding to my routine. 🤪

10/13 — 198.4

10/14 — 198
Ok, slow but sure, and no severe cuts, just awareness and small changes.

10/15 — 198.4
Harumph. I have to say, though, I thought yesterday was a fluke. Onward.

jrago47 · October 15

10/8: 210 (I bought a bread maker because I thought it was a good idea at the time but now I have all this fresh bread in my house which is showing up on the scale. I have to control myself!!! Excited for another 10 day challenge.)

10/9: 209.4 (I'm so surprised with a loss on the scale, it felt like I was eating every 5 minutes yesterday. I've been drinking a lot of water so that could be helping. I actually set up hourly reminders on my phone to drink water and it's helping huge! And I don't put enhancers in my water anymore, which I had been doing for the last year. I finally love plain water!!!! LIKE WHAT?!)

10/10: 209.4 (I cooked a big zero point chicken stew for my whole family yesterday and everyone loved it. I love when everyone comes over for dinner! We have bingo night every Thursday and it's fun when we get to host.)

10/11: 210.8 (big gain today…ate way over my points yesterday. Also had ice cream. My new bread machine is proving to be a problem. I love it so much and making new recipes. Yesterday I made an Italian rosemary bread and it was delicious! But a 1.4 pound gain?! so frustrating. Now it's thanksgiving weekend so lots of temptation and things out of my control. Going to try and stay within my points but I'm not holding my breath this week)

10/12: DNW

10/13: 207.6 (WOW! Big whoosh today. Even after being away for thanksgiving and not having control of what I eat! Thank goodness, especially after that big gain. Getting closer and closer to onederland! I was so proud of myself, my family all got McDonalds breakfast and I said no and only got coffee and had a granola bar instead!! I didn't want to have McDonalds and then a big thanksgiving dinner on the same day. I was proud of myself!)

10/14: 207.8 (a 0.2 gain is NOTHING compared to what I ate yesterday at Thanksgiving. Had such a huge meal plus tarts galore! It was a fantastic meal. I brought scalloped potatoes and they were a hit! so delicious! Tonight I'm making a beautiful broccoli salad and some fresh homemade bread. Looking forward to it)

10/15 208.6 (thanksgiving caught up with me. And it's not over yet! I'm hosting a big turkey and ham dinner on Sunday. I am so excited. I love when my husband and I host dinners, it's my favourite thing. I'm going to use all my weeklies in one day but that's alright! It'll be worth it.)

~~10/12~~ - DNW

~~10/13~~ - 170.2

~~10/14~~ - 170.1

~~10/15~~ - 168.7 - I did something right? Likely water weight dropping off and meeting my macros fully yesterday. Today I'll be right on target (within 12) for my calorie/deficit goal. My fats and protein are 9g under goal and my carbs are well over goal but it balances. I'll take it. Steps are low but BF won't be home until after I'm in bed so I have the evening to pace around like a crazy woman to get them. Also need to start looking at meal prep ideas for next week so I can make my list to grocery shop on Friday.

10/13-181.2 ✅ (Trend Weight: 183.9)

10/14-181.4 ❌ (Trend Weight: 183.7) I’m a little disappointed with the uptake after such a great day. But I guess I can expect that with no morning TMI. I found myself satisfied with less food yesterday than what was on my pre-log. I ended up not eating some of the planned sides and less of the snacks too so I ate way below my calories and carbs. However, that made me miss some of the planned protein. I guess I need to eat the important stuff first.

🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 10/15-182.6 ❌ (Trend Weight: 183.6) Boy, do I EVER have every excuse in the book today for the weight increase. Dinner AFTER midnight. Up 3 hours early for travel today so a very early weigh-in. A little over 3 hours of sleep. Did I mention that I didn’t EXACTLY stick to my pre-logged food since the entire day was askew? I probably won’t weigh tomorrow due to the travel and the havoc that causes me. I will need at least 24 hours to let the dust settle. So I got my 2024 tax package back from the accountant today. My refund from Federal will cover what I owe the State taxes and I can pay that immediately online on Michigan.gov even though the Federal refund will likely take months, especially with the government shut down. But at least the Fed refund will cover the state bill. Is that what they mean by “robbing Peter to pay Paul?”. Ha!

🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 311 (my 241st).

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
to have a totally 10-day binge free round.
Would like to lose a pound 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".

10/7 142.4 – (trend 142.4) ughh! Back to ‘that’ number ! Still I’ll keep plodding on. 0.2 pounds lost this round – at least lower than start weight. 7.46 miles walked.

EW Rnd 310 142.4

SW Rnd 311 142.4

10/8 142.4 (trend 142.4) – 7.14 miles walked. Really want to lose a pound this next week; next Thursday we go away for a 5 night break so that weight will be my end of round weight.

10/9 142 – (trend 142.3) 9.43 miles walked.

10/10 141.6 – (trend 142.2) 6.23 miles walked. Good to see that drop again.

10/11 DNW – away for a long weekend in caravan at Darley Dale. 6.8 miles walked yesterday.

10/12 13.67 miles walked.

10/13 DNW – no structured walking, helped at DGD 7th birthday party, and needless to say, pizza & cake involved!

10/14 142.6 – 11.02 miles walked, disappointed at the number, but keep going!

10/15 142.6 – only 3.49 miles walked yesterday; met regular Tuesday FF for day out.

10/16 144 – yesterday I just had a devil may care attitude & did not eat sensibly! 11.21 miles walked.

10/17

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

-💓 Exercise minimum 20 minutes. More if possible.

Yesterday was a travel day home with some functional exercise. I should be back in the saddle for a few rounds now. I need it.

10/11: 222.2
✏️
Didn’t log until late in the day, so the right hand didn’t know what the left hand was doing. They were both feeding the pie hole as it turns out...

Just happy the number did not go up. I will make an effort today.

10/12: 221.8
✏️💓
Did a bit better. Had more social eating and drinking than planned. Protein was my highest macro for a change.

My sports teams lost yesterday. What a waste of time to sit there and watch them on TV when I could just go for a walk simply check the score afterward. Much less anxiety and stress.

Going to a wedding today. There will be cake.

10/13: 220.0
✏️🎯💓
Overall, under control yesterday, except for ultra processed food (100 calories). I am not trying to avoid UPF for calories. Mainly trying to avoid poison.

10/14: 219.4
✏️☣️💓
Had some sweet moments with the DGD and DGS yesterday. Not just relationally either. The “boys” went out to the park playground and then for some frozen custard while the “girls” had a nap. Caused me to miss the target goal, but so worth it.

I am very thankful for my health to be able to have days like yesterday. I know things can turn on a dime based on friends and family around me.

10/15: 220.4
✏️☣️🎯💓
Good day yesterday. We winterized our beloved screened-in porch. Always sad, because it needs to be done while weather is still good enough to keep using it. Otherwise it’s miserable. The rug needs to be bone dry so we can roll it up and put it in the basement. Pulled the furniture out and cleaned it. Hosed down the floor, and screens. Put the table in the basement. Now the porch is able to be used, but not as cozy.

I followed up with a long bike ride. Technically my weight should be down, but I am currently a container.

10/16: 220.8
✏️☣️🎯💓
I returned to the gym for my group fitness after a long travel hiatus. It was good to try on some of those muscles I had quit using. HA!

Much salt yesterday.

JGMTD #311 #81 #discipline

F 66, 5’6”, married, retired. Embracing a “growing younger” positive mindset. Being fully present to enjoy each day of this #HSF (healthy, strong, fit) journey. I fully commit to a daily renewal of #MindBodySoul. 📖 SW R311 = ⚖️133.0

BHAG 128-130lbs FIRM - by 10/26. Seems like this goal is STILL doable, will continue. ***Rnd Goal = won’t update previous goal - still surprised the scale didn’t budge last round: going for a solid whoosh that sticks: why not?! 1.4lb to 131.6 by 10/17. #MindBodySoul #HSF

************

10/8 133.0 NSV - stuck with the plan even with self-doubt. Food wasn’t the issue. It was just fighting the “feeling defeated” heaviness… Managed to turn that around, learn from it & enjoy the day.

10/9 132.6 not a whoosh but first real down-tick in weeks. I can say “real” because this one has been earned. 🙂No structured walk. ✅kcals & 🥩 but a little over in carbs… So no “🏆” yesterday. But all else good. I’m back to using “habit tracker” to help keep me on target. I need those little reminders! Focus: 🎾 & 🚶‍♀️💗👣. Today =🎾🏋️‍♀️ tomorrow. Stay the course.

10/10 DNW 4 hrs sleep. Bummer. Today: 🎾🏋️‍♀️- no time for nap. Chauffeuring Tucker & making appetizers for our “funeral reception” the “funeral” …. The 10-month fight to end the hospital garage project is being formally laid to rest. Today marks the 30-day court filing deadline & we decided - “no more”. Dinner /drinks for 14 at former mayor’s home. 🤞🏻I’ll behave🤞🏻. Happy weekend all! #MindBodySoul #HSF

10/11 DNW & 10/12 134.0 I ended up having a great day Friday - accomplished all Movement goals & barely missed calories - definitely behaved at the dinner party. It was yesterday that I went off the rails. Silly me made the mistake of bringing home leftovers & I over-indulged. I had plans to go on WV walk and I blew IT off OPTING to clean house. WHAT?! That was the break-down. Why? Because my walk gives me so much determination and spiritual strength. Over an hour of focused prayer and meditation is so much better for me than even the walk! So…. Instead, I “Found” myself in the kitchen over & over because everything tasted so good! Self-control simply went out the window. Maybe I was tired? Or just BAD, BAD, BAD! It’s been a super long time since I “pigged out”. However, I didn’t have to go so, so overboard. A blip. Back on it today! 🎾🏋️‍♀️👣 📖 today. #HSF #MindBodySoul

10/13 Slept 4 hrs. Yuck. Will try to make the best of it today. However, hit all my targets yesterday, so who knows what’s going on with my body. No TMIx3#MindBodySoul #HSF

10/14 & 10/15. Two good days but ate big & late last night for DH 71st BD. I missed JGMTD yesterday morning cuz my morning routine & day were discombobulated. My weight keeps increasing? I can only guess its up today because we ate late last night. Should be ok tomorrow? Shall see.

10/16. I’m still a “container“. 🤣 Excellence in the kitchen & 💦 hydration. Today: 5mi WV🚶‍♀️💗👣🏋️‍♀️ #MindBodySoul #HSF
