06/22 -185.8- (Trend weight185.1) I’m still struggling with the night snacks even though they have been “approved” and healthy. Quantity matters. I truly think it is 100% habit or even boredom. My interesting book and my limited series shows are just not enough. I’m going to put in some research today and deep dive into the matter.
06/23 -186.8- (Trend weight185.3) I ended up out of town yesterday with Foodie daughter and DGS. She wanted to try a new restaurant and it was good, not great. I shopped for more low carb snacks as I have been running out earlier than planned several times lately due to overeating/bingeing at night. I planned on making chili today to use up some thawed hamburger in the fridge before it goes bad. That will also help to clear some canned veggies out of my pantry giving me some much needed room. I will be watching my portions, sending lots home with my daughter and freezing some properly measured portions for another time. No crackers in the chili Donna!!!!!

Summer Challenge (June 15 thru Sept 22): I'll start with a realistic goal of 14 pounds and go from there.

Round 263
June 15 - 176.4 - Yikes, that's 1.6 pounds heavier than my last round weight. Good news is I can play a mind game with myself when the first couple of pounds for my Summer Challenge come off really fast. I blame this on eating too much watermelon last night, and also not sleeping enough. I find that I try to eat my way to having energy when it's just that I'm tired. Sometime, I'll be hungry and just take a short nap and wake up feeling so much better and no longer hungry (again, this only works some of the time ).
June 16 - 175.0 - That's Better. Yesterday's weight was water weight and not sleeping. This will be my starting weight for losing 14 pounds this summer!
June 17- DNW
June 18 - 174.8
June 19- DNW - Too much popcorn last night. Nope, I don't care to see the water weight this morning. I never eat past 7pm but last night for some unknown reason I decided to have popcorn at 9pm. Ugh!
June 20 - 174.8
June 21 - 174.4 - I have a closet full of clothes that I cannot fit into. I've bought very few clothes since I gained weight and the ones I've bought have been in dark colors supposedly to hide my weight. I went from working in a high-rise in Atlanta with hundreds of people to moving to Maine and working from home so I could get away without buying many clothes once I gained weight. In addition, I have lived in sweats because I work from home. I decided last week I had enough "waiting" for that elusive date when I'm "slim" and bought 6 new casual dresses. They arrived yesterday and they are so vibrant and colorful! Obviously my health is number one especially after many, many health issues the past years, but I hope this one step moves me closer to doing other things that I've put off that are good for my mental health. I think my husband also appreciates seeing me out of sweats every now and then. LOL
June 22 - 174.6

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 263 (my 193rd). So grateful @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Goals for this round;
• to stay under 140 pounds,
• no feeding frenzies
• to lose!
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 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

6/15 138.2 – (trend 139.8) there’s that lovely number again making an entrance to start the round. 8.31 miles walked, just under 70% exercise calories eaten back.
6/16 139.6 – (trend 139.8) 6.06 miles walked, ate out with family as an early birthday celebration for DH last night, looked at the menu in advance & selected healthily with non-alcoholic cider, uh and there was birthday cake, eat lightly beforehand, but still 500 calories over. Travel up to Liverpool today, staying overnight, eating in the hotel, but packed a healthy lunch.
6/17 DNW - 9.94 miles walked, best guesstimate 200 calories over yesterday. Tickets booked for The Beatles Story this morning.
6/18 140.4 - (trend 139.8) urgh, results of 2 days eating out! That's one goal missed, never mind back home now with no more events this round and all home prepared for ahead, it's more promising to get back. 7.15 miles, 75% exercise calories eaten back .
6/19 139.6 – (trend 139.8) – And back down! 7.83 miles walked, less than 30% of exercise calories eaten back.
6/20 140 - (trend 139.8) – drove 2 hours each way to attend little DGD’s school sports day & communal picnic followed by watching youngest at her swimming lesson. No structured walking hence calories over.
6/21 139.6 – (trend 139.8) 9.81 miles walked, less than 50% exercise calories eaten back.
6/22 141.6 – (trend 140) major chocolate binge ☹.so despondent with myself. 8.33 miles walked.
6/23 141.4 - (trend 140.2) 8.27 miles walked, 53% exercise calories eaten back.
6/24 140.8 – (trend 140.3) 12.3 miles walked, 45% exercise calories eaten back. Failed to hit any of the 3 goals this round ☹. Must try harder, first & third goal failed entirely by failing the second, need to make no feeding frenzy as my first goal, that is the crucks of my problem!! 1.6 pound gain.
👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!! 👍👍.

I’m late for the challenge but I didn’t want to wait the next one.
So… I’ve been on mfp more than 10 years now. Sometimes I had used this app regularly for a few months, then I couldn’t stay consistent and gained more weight and came back, it’s a vicious circle. I don’t know how many times I tried and never achieved my goal weight. It is very depressing, but I am still here to try again.
6/20 - 105 kg
6/21 - 104.4 kg
6/22 - 104.6 kg
6/23 - 103.9 kg
6/24 - 101.4 kg
As expected I weight more today since I went to picnic with friends yesterday. I drank and ate more than usual. But these days always will be in my life, so I will keep going and try to balance.8 -

5/24- 174.8 I have been off this whole weekend. I think the busy week and the heat wave just took everything out of me. I skipped workouts, I slept in. I stayed inside and took naps. I ate pizza and popcorn and sushi.
I wasn’t out of control but I was checked out.
I’m glad to see a flat line instead of a gain but I wouldn’t be surprised if I get an upswing to start the next round.
I’m struggling to shake off my fog and get my day going. I did read all of the posts the last few days- so much going on!!!!7 -

6/15 173.6 Sure would like to keep it below 174 this time. I feel like I’ve been stuck there for a while now. I know I need to exercise more, so that will be a goal for this round. Good luck everyone!
6/16 174. Well there it is again.
6/17 174. And still here. Got in a good walk in the neighborhood though, in spite of the heat.
6/18 173.4 Walked early yesterday before it was too hot. Summer is here for real!
6/19 173.2 Got in a good walk at the library park yesterday morning. Finding my groove again after the cruise, so I have hope for the rest of this round. Sugar Kiss melons have arrived at my Publix grocery store, so it’s officially summer now for sure! They spoil me on cantaloupe the rest of the year—I love them so much!
6/20. 173.4 Not much activity during the day, so I got in a longer walk in the evening. Just had to wait till almost bedtime to do it!
6/21. 173.4 Going camping. Won’t have great signal the next couple days, but will get in lots of exercise.
6/22. DNW

6/24. 173.8 So much exercise this weekend, I expected to be down, but at least I’m still below 174. Fingers crossed for a drop next round.4 -
@quiltingjaine: wonderful party pictures, love the Tshirts, and what fun!! I bet sand was everywhere:-)3

Entering the “danger zone” end of this round into the next as we’re going on vacation, which has been my “Waterloo” every year; this time I'll stand strong; I have my travel scale out, new batteries ready to go.

6/24: traffic-free travel (very unusual) to the Cape, and first morning in a lovely inn to end this round. Already had to resist the vacation temptations everywhere, and the travel scale works! My mantra: "is it worth it"? If so, yes! Typical June on Cape Cod, it was 97° at home and we arrived to 78° here, with fog rolling in from Vineyard Sound. Sweatshirts and frizzy hair for the next week, and hoping for a couple beach/kayak days! Love it so much up here...
See you all in 264, keeping me on track through playtime!

NSVs/Journey Reflections…. 👇🏻
********************************
👇🏻Review since my first R231
1. ✅Avg. close to 10k steps per day for 8+ mos. Not bad. It’s no longer a “daily goal” because it’s now a daily healthy habit - 👏🏻🤩
2. ✅Healthy Habit: 🙆♀️ I stretch daily and that has greatly improved my attitude & confidence.
3. ✅HH: I play 🎾about 4-5x per week.
4. ✅HH: Z2 💕avg 60 min/day

10. 7 to 8 hours sleep per night is a goal. Sleep is still inconsistent the last few rounds…
Tremendous progress since last July, but still “skinny-fat”. I want 🏋️♀️to become a healthy habit too. … 🏋️♀️20 min per day or 30 min 3-4x per week. Continue to journal📝 and to strive to ID unhelpful habits & replace with helpful ones.
Staying in the present moment is key to mental health and healthy choices.
Rotating 115g to 130g of protein per day is now a non-negotiable. In my dreams, I want to be 130lbs #HSF … 😎 I want to be Healthy, Strong & Fit to live out “Chapter 3” enjoying a full range of mobility, flexibility & activities… !

Woke up @ 1:25am -fell back to sleep around four-ish… Not a great night but looking forward to today. Trying new macros just to experiment. Protein to be greater than combined fat and carbs -will try it for at least two weeks.

6 hrs sleep not bad. Up at 3:45😌🙃. Nausea past two days… hoping for better today. Visited with DGS over a sugar-free snowball…. He always brings me joy! 🎾& 🏋️♀️planned for today. I’ve been super, super stubborn, not fulfilling🏋️♀️… more determination needed to make this 🏋️♀️habit REAL.

Active day. Beautiful day. No rain. Fun with DGS - road bikes to the park. 🚴♀️🎾🚶♀️🏋️♀️. 💦!Pedals don’t count as steps?!😎.
Up @ 3:45 but slept straight thru… Today: competitive tennis starts my day and ☀️.
WOE Update: P:E working well. Tummy feels good. No bloating.
For those curious: P:E is …
Protein g > (Cg + Fg) with a ratio range of 1:1 to 2.1. Yes, takes time but tummy discomfort & bloating disappeared. Prioritizing 💦, protein and eating it first at every meal works for me. I am not counting calories, but I know I ate about 1300 yesterday based on recording macros… This is too low. Should’ve gotten 14-1500 based on activity level.
🏋️♀️Finally had a decent training session! DH coached me thru and DGS giggles spurred me on. Actually feeling it this morn. 💪🏻
Hobby: Paying close attention to my physical, spiritual & mental health IS my new hobby. I’m enjoying this journey because I’m learning +++ … Feeling more alive than ever… Why did it take me so long?! TIME? Priorities? When I was a single mom (for 20 years-ish), I was envious of all those “in shape” stay-at-home moms… I would often mumble to myself “well, if I had all day”… … Now I DO have all day… (Making myself honest here). It takes time, energy, and discipline …. And reward! Kudos to those moms getting it done.
Onward!

🚫🏋️♀️(rest day)
Non-stop enjoyable day!
** So… the scale (Informational purposes only😎) ⬆️1.6lbs! Why? I simply have no idea. The only variation is that I ate 2 hrs later than usual. And , I slept EIGHT solid hrs! I also ate cantaloupe & prosciutto which is out of norm for me … does this matter? Hit P:E macros… (1240 kcals) I had an outstanding day of hitting all measures. So the real analysis would be why was I “light” the day before? Looking back, I didn’t eat enough… but all of this wasn’t significant to loosing or gaining…. I simply fluctuate 1-2lbs per day! Lesson here…? identify why the scale goes up AND down - staying prudent. I’m not trying to lose or gain… Just trying to get to know me, myself & I - gaining balance, mobility & strength (keeping with my mission). Learning lots! #HSF
Am I being obsessive? Heck NO! I am preventing the highly predictable roller coaster/yo-yo of gaining 15 to 25 pounds and losing 15 to 25 pounds my ENTIRE LIFE! I am NOT going to have another freaking roller coaster🎢 ride… I rode my last one last year! If this is what it truly takes… I’m all in!
NSV: Learning about my body’s nuances & keeping steady in #HSF mission.
Today: 🎾&🏋️♀️.

Distracted early by whimsically heading to an incredible estate sale… Had so much fun. Then picked up DGS and hung-out. Spontaneous road-trip out to dinner for amazing seafood! Enjoyed a little bit of everything without overdoing. Great Saturday. Back to routine today.
Will finish 💪🏻!

Another🏋️♀️(rest day)
Well, well well. Bounced up down and all around ranging 129-133 this round. I’m going to hang tough with my PE experiment… And see what happens over the next few days. I think this is from no TMI.
I also played tennis for three hours yesterday …. Sweltering heat, tons of water, stayed on nutrition plan….
Friday is InBody scan. Looking forward.
NSV: Previously, I would have freaked out over the scale… Remaining calm and reading for information. I don’t have the answers yet… But I know it’s not calories or junk! Could it, could it, could it possibly be muscle? 😃
Next round let’s go!

6/23 – 155.6 lbs – Hi everyone! I haven’t been around for a long time, but I need some help! I see that mean ole scale creeping up higher and higher, so time to get serious and get down closer to my goal weight. I know we are starting a new round on Tues, but I figure if I leave it until then I will probably forget what I had intended to do, so here I am for the last 2 days of this round. Lol! I haven’t been focusing on protein these past few months and that is likely why my weight is creeping up. So, let me try to work on that and see what I can accomplish between now and Tuesday morning. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, all! 😊
6/23 – 151.6 lbs – 20.6 lbs from goal! So yesterday, I decided to stop feeling sorry for myself and my weight creeping up and actually get my shizz together. Made a meal plan, started counting calories and macros and steps and got some healthy groceries and did about a bizillion hours of prep cooking/chopping and dishes and drank a bunch of water and presto chango, I was down 4 lbs this a.m. Which made me feel good about jumping out of bed and going for a run. 🙂 (run/walk, obvi, but there was a lot of running!)

@clprieur It's so nice to see you again! I thought I lost you when they cancelled the main feed. Great decision jumping in and not waiting more days until the next round. So happy to be sharing our journeys! I've been in a backsliding position lately but I'm working hard on getting back up on the horse and back on track. Let's do this!
@deepwoodslady Hi!! I was just looking for the feed?! What the heck?! It's the best part. Lol. I'm glad I came back here, then, to find you. Have a great day and see you in the next round!

6/18-177- I have not been making exercise a priority. The horrible heat and wind should not be present today.
6/19-175-The food consumption wasn’t the best, but I did pick up my orthotics and walked 3.5 miles and drank plenty of water. I feel good.
6/20-174-Switched to green tea-iced and will take that today instead of a coke. Off to help make quilts for the veterans. Lunch is provided and I will not eat the bread….i hope.
6/21-DNW-Should get a walk in today. Some minor yard work.
6/22-172-No walking but lots of yard and a horse ride. Green iced tea and water. Off to a graduation party and hopefully wise food choices.
6/24-174- A little too much weekend. See you next round!5 -

6/15 - 197.2
DH and I have been watching Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones on Netflix, and of course the commonalities of communities where more people live longer are plant-based, low-junk diets, lots of physical activity in the course of daily life, and a few other things. I’m working on upping my veggies and reducing processed carbs (read pasta), but I think I’m going to have to press harder. At 89 in July, thin DH doesn’t feel any pressing need to change his diet, but at 71 and fat, I know I can’t eat the way he does (he doesn’t eat junk, but is a huge fan of pasta). We can’t always eat different dinners, but my new strategy is to have extra veggies. I’m hoping this series will nudge him to more me-friendly meals. I’ve also been doing so much work in my garden that I haven’t been walking as planned. I need to get back to walking, for many reasons.
6/16 - 197.4
I had a little pig out last night for some reason. I’m trying to get some walking in but it’s turning very hot and I’m prone to “heat sickness.” I’m thinking of going to Menards to walk, since they have ac and miles of aisles. 😊
6/17 - 197.2
The heat has arrived. Other than watering my plants, I’m not spending much daytime outdoors. Maybe I can sneak in a walk this evening.
6/18 - DNW
My schedule got discombobulated with workmen here at 7:40 (they told us “after 8”) so I didn’t weigh this morning. That’s ok. I ate responsibly yesterday and plan to do the same today.
6/19 - 196.6
I did a big thing yesterday…As some of you know, I’m a writer (21 books and hundreds of articles and essays), but I haven’t written much in the past few years due to a combo of factors. I have had a stack of manuscripts in various stages of incompleteness sitting on my desk, taunting me whenever I’m in that room, and calling me names even when I’m not. I will likely never touch those projects again—they’re stale and my interests have shifted. So I tossed the lot in the recycle bin. They’re still on my computer, but I’m considering a deletion binge. When—if—I get back to writing, I need to start fresh. And weirdly, I can’t help feeling that hanging onto old, stale writing projects was linked to hanging onto weight. We’ll see. I can’t tell you how hard it was to make that decision and how liberating once it was done. I feel like something new has opened. Now to find it!
6/20 - 196
That’s encouraging. 😊
6/21 - 196
I’m spending the weekend at a dog show, staying in my friend’s camper trailer, so won’t be checking in. Fortunately, I did the shopping, so unless she adds something, there’s no junk food. It will be fun—I’m not showing, so all I have to do is cheer her on, trying to finish her dog’s championship. See you Monday!
6/22 - DNW
6/23 - DNW
6/24 - 196.8
Back from the weekend dog show. It was stinkin’ hot Fri & Sat, but cooled down nicely on Sunday. I didn’t quite stick to the healthy eating plan, but wasn’t too bad other than, I think, getting a bit dehydrated. I’m planning to drink a lot of water today. I seem to have broken even this round, but I have a hunch I’ll drop tomorrow or the next day. I do feel very motivated tknow, so we’ll see what happens. See you next round!

6/16 133.5 Day off from “working out” Even though I’m pleased with myself for getting back to doing activities, I am so mad at myself for letting myself become the ultimate couch potato for the last several years. Once I sat down for COVID closures, I never really got up. I know there are lots of others who did this too. Don’t get me wrong, I have always tended towards being a slug and it was too easy to fall back into that. So I’m depressed about that and losing Oskar has compounded my “depression.”
6/17 133.5 Amazed I didn’t go up. Had pizza for Father’s Day lunch - 3 slices. Later I had 7 shrimp left from the other night. Tonight Golden Corral for friend’s birthday.
6/18 135.0 I had a pity party after “emergency” dentist visit and ate all not LCHF at GC. If I get my act together today it should be gone soon.
6/19 134.5 Eating yesterday was good. Getting a haircut today.
6/20 134.5 Bingo last night, eating last night was good until the Fat Boy ice cream sandwich.
6/21 134.5 Back to water fitness this morning.
6/22 133.0 Today is GGS’s birthday party at 2pm and for some unknown reason DH set an early lunch date with friends at 11am. I am so irritate! I was strong yesterday and didn’t allow myself to feel pressured into eating when he finally wanted something at about 5. Now to survive the party this afternoon.
6/23 134.0 Well, I’m okay with this. We had a fun time in the Construction Zone as DGGS is currently infatuated with heavy equipment.
6/24 134.0 Art Quilts, etc today. Macros were good yesterday. Waiting for the change. I got up late and now need to face the long drive across town.8 -

RND 261 SW 221.6 EW 219.4
RND 262 SW 219.4 EW 214.4
RND 263 SW 215.4 EW TBD
Same goals for this round:
1. Drink at least 90 oz of water a day
2. Close my rings
3. Log my food
4. Goal weight 209
6/15 215.4
6/16 215.6 I’m not happy with this. I know my activity wasn’t as high the last couple of days and I haven’t been drinking water like I should. I’m struggling to believe that small changes like water intake can have such an effect on weight. I’m going to be better about my water and just keep at it. Trying hard not to let the weight gain get me down. I know it’s not a lot, but it feels like when I get excited that I’m doing the right thing to lose weight, the scale goes back up. Time to push past the negative thoughts and keep working. It’s a lifestyle change, which means there will be fluctuations.
6/17 211.4 I know this is 100% water weight, but I’m going to enjoy it for now. I expect the number to fluctuate some more, but if this is the push I need to reach my round goal, I’ll take it.
6/18 214 A little more fluctuation than I’d hoped for, but I ate a lot yesterday and I ate dinner late, so all in all I’m good.
6/19 212.2
6/20 211.6 Happy birthday to me!! Went out yesterday to celebrate my birthday (early) and enjoyed spending time with family. Celebrating a NSV that I enjoyed going out and managed to lose a few more ounces.
6/21 211.8 I’m going to have to kick it up a notch to hit 209 in 3 days. Even if it’s only one day, I’d be happy.
6/22 210.8
6/23 211.0
6/24 209.4 I did it! I hit my goal for the round. 6 pound loss this round. A lot of it was water, which is okay. Onward to the next round!7 -
@CamandJarvis Welcome back. You've been missed!4

Thank you @quiltingjaine for keeping this going! I love the start of a new round!!

Summer Challenge (June 15 thru Sept 22): I'll start with a realistic goal of 14 pounds and go from there.
Start Date: June 16 / Start Weight: 175.0
14 Pounds to Go / 13 Pounds to Go / 12 Pounds to Go / 11 Pounds to Go / 10 Pounds to Go / 9 Pounds to Go / 8 Pounds to Go / 7 Pounds to Go / 6 Pounds to Go / 5 Pounds to Go / 4 Pounds to Go / 3 Pounds to Go / 2 Pounds to Go / 1 Pound to Go
Round 263
June 15 - 176.4 - Yikes, that's 1.6 pounds heavier than my last round weight. Good news is I can play a mind game with myself when the first couple of pounds for my Summer Challenge come off really fast. I blame this on eating too much watermelon last night, and also not sleeping enough. I find that I try to eat my way to having energy when it's just that I'm tired. Sometime, I'll be hungry and just take a short nap and wake up feeling so much better and no longer hungry (again, this only works some of the time ).
June 16 - 175.0 - That's Better. Yesterday's weight was water weight and not sleeping. This will be my starting weight for losing 14 pounds this summer!
June 17- DNW
June 18 - 174.8
June 19- DNW - Too much popcorn last night. Nope, I don't care to see the water weight this morning. I never eat past 7pm but last night for some unknown reason I decided to have popcorn at 9pm. Ugh!
June 20 - 174.8
June 21 - 174.4 - I have a closet full of clothes that I cannot fit into. I've bought very few clothes since I gained weight and the ones I've bought have been in dark colors supposedly to hide my weight. I went from working in a high-rise in Atlanta with hundreds of people to moving to Maine and working from home so I could get away without buying many clothes once I gained weight. In addition, I have lived in sweats because I work from home. I decided last week I had enough "waiting" for that elusive date when I'm "slim" and bought 6 new casual dresses. They arrived yesterday and they are so vibrant and colorful! Obviously my health is number one especially after many, many health issues the past years, but I hope this one step moves me closer to doing other things that I've put off that are good for my mental health. I think my husband also appreciates seeing me out of sweats every now and then. LOL
June 22 - 174.6
June 23 - 174.4
June 24 - 174.8 - I'm ready for a new round where I'm going to be more focused and consistent. I've been all over the place the last few days - nothing really bad, but nothing really good either. See everyone next round!
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

06/23 -186.8- (Trend weight185.3) I ended up out of town yesterday with Foodie daughter and DGS. She wanted to try a new restaurant and it was good, not great. I shopped for more low carb snacks as I have been running out earlier than planned several times lately due to overeating/bingeing at night. I planned on making chili today to use up some thawed hamburger in the fridge before it goes bad. That will also help to clear some canned veggies out of my pantry giving me some much needed room. I will be watching my portions, sending lots home with my daughter and freezing some properly measured portions for another time. No crackers in the chili Donna!!!!!
06/24 -187.4- (Trend weight185.5)This round is ending today????? Yikes, where have I been ?!?!?!? See you next round!

Congrats to everyone who lost or maintained weight! Way to go for those who are down to a new decade!
Congrats to those who didn’t lose and are not giving up! Giving up is not allowed. Today is a new day to learn from the past and grow. Push away those negative thoughts and tell yourself what you would tell a friend who gained. Remember this is not about perfection. It is a journey with bumps in the road. We will all reach our destination.
Thanks for your support and I will see you in the next round!

@fmfdfa2020 - I am so happy that you decided to buy some new clothes. it always helps us mentally to look good no matter what our size is. Believe it or not it will help you to lose weight also. When those new clothes start getting too big you can always pass them on or have them taken up. Unfortunately, these days it is just cheaper to pass them on unless you can take them up yourself. keep up the good work!
@quiltingjaine - thanks for posting the next round!

@deepwoodslady - I feel your pain on late night snacking. I have given up for now. What I do now is I save a few calories for the end of the day and I tried to eat fruits only and if I have a sweet tooth and the fruit are not doing it, I keep fudge bars or fudge popsicles on hand. Other snacks I have that I keep in my car trunk is nuts and skinny pop or other calorie friendly popcorn on hand. These are for when I need crunch. I get individual sizes of both from warehouse clubs when on sale and I can afford. Now that I am unemployed I buy big bags and make my own packs of nuts, trail-mix and popcorn. I sometimes go to bed early if I am out of calories. It doesn’t always work but it does 60 to 70% of the time.4

I hope everyone is staying cool I have a quick question. Does anyone know the Date of Round 64? Any information would be wonderful. or any of the Rounds between 65-70?
I tried the search engine and the farthest it want back was some 80s, 90s, and forward.
Thanks in advance for your help. Stay cool!
@IsMollyReallyHungry, Molly MFP has really messed things up. I had EVERY JGTD Round bookmarked from when I started. They are a jumbled mess now and some are missing, but if you want to read through Round 64-70 I will post the links. I'll post them this evening.
It's very enlightening to go back that far and read the posts, your own and others.
