Round 234
August 30 - September 8, 2023

Please join us starting on 8/30 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 234.

Anyone can join us at anytime 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 everyday 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.

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 of the posts.

If you feel your post is too lengthy, you can add spoilers to temporarily hide the information. It is readily available by tapping the SPOILER bar. To create a Spoiler just type or copy [ Spoiler ] xxx [ /Spoiler ] Omit the spaces within the brackets and put your information where I have xxx

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

    We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

    What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

    People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for over 6 years with amazing results!

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

    Yay, back again for another round. Can't wait.

    Jen; 46; 5'4"

    About Me:
    This is my sixth round and really appreciated having someplace to stay accountable.
    Thanks to a medication I'm on for my mental health and an overeating habit, I managed to gain a lot of weight in the last year or so. On July 4, I stepped on the scale for the first time since I started the med (that is known to cause weight gain) and decided enough was enough. I buckled down and started actually recording my food for the first time in over five years and started walking every day. Now I need motivation to keep going. This coming round, the kids go back to school and I'll be watching my grandson more so we'll see how that affects what and when I want to eat and when I can go on my walks. Hopefully, I can keep up the daily walking through September before the rains start later in fall.

    Previous Rounds:
    RND 229 - SW: 287.8; FW: 280.4 (-7.4)
    RND 230 - SW: 280.4; FW: 276.0 (-4.4)

    * track food every day
    * walk for at least one hour and/or 3 miles

    Hi, I'm wanting to get back in shape. Currently 135 at 5'4" and with my low muscle mass it looks more like 150. My plan is to eat fewer sweets (sugar addict), eat out less, which will also mean less alcohol, and fast for at least 36 hours once a week and maybe IF of noon to 8:00 every day until I'm 120. Late night snacking is the culprit so if I shut down the kitchen at 8 that'll be a significant change. Tomorrow is my day 1 of fasting throughout September. I'm hopeful?/in denial? that today's weight is carbs and sodium because I don't want to accept the 15 pound summer weight gain. I hate hate hate dieting and the quick fasts have always been easier so starting with 10 days of noon-8pm eating window.
