Round 270
August 24 - September 2, 2024

Please join us starting on 8/24 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 270.

Round 270
August 24 - September 2, 2024

Please join us starting on 8/24 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 270.

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

    @SModa61 I’m still getting the manage cookies thing. I wish these cookies were as easy to manage as the kind that go in my mouth! I’ll see what happens tomorrow. I haven’t used my laptop for MFP for years. Phone or iPad are so much more portable!

    @quiltingjaine Ya, I thought I got the phone/cookie thing under control a couple weeks ago. Nope. What is with MFP these days?

    I also recently discovered that you can't really friend request on the laptop/desktop anymore. Have to use the App. And they totally got rid of the news feed, which I know that lots of people used outside of the community section to connect and cheer each other on. MFP has helped me a lot, but some of its recent changes are not for the better.

    Round 270
    August 24 – Sept 2, 2024

    62 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 weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
    SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
    SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
    GW Maintaining between 124 - 126

    Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.

    History:
    Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a two grandsons. We have two parents, 87(mother), 85(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse (father has since passed and I am DPOA, Personal representative AKA executor, trustee, and oversee the majority of my mother’s care). A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

    Day/Weight/Comment

    8/24 – 135.2 Very happy surprise. In the past I have often found that a pasta dinner results in an uptick the following day, even if the calories are on target.

    So, as of yesterday, I have a new reason to work on my nutrition and habits. Some of you who were here, may remember that in May 2023 I went to DEXAFit for a scan. Goal was to learn body fat, but it also came back with bone density data. It came back with a score of 1.0. I was quite chuffed (I think that’s the right word) about that, and felt validated in my life choices. Well the bubble popped yesterday. I had the radiology department based screening. After the scan, I showed her the DEXAFit printouts and she looked highly confused. Long story short, the medical community puts me at a -2.0 hip and -1.9 for spine. These are osteopenia numbers. So glad I asked for a verification of my fantastic number, or I would be continuing to coast along not questioning my habits. It is making it clear that not all calories are created equal, even if you can lose weight while eating them (cough…Ben and Jerry’s….cough). So I am going to be wrapping my head around focusing on nutrition, and maybe as a consequence I don’t cut my calories quite as hard while trying to trim weight. I need to think about my daytime food choices, and I need to get me exercise back in place. I am looking into grabbing a weighted walking vest to make my walks (that I need to get back to) more of a weight bearing exercise. I am so glad that the scan was supposedly “free”. I will see if that is true. But according to the billing department, everyone is allowed an annual free done density screening. Now, that I am “diagnosed” with a condition, it would ironically not be a screening, and I believe that going forward it will not be free. Anyone else addressing this issue as well?

    DS is beginning to look at wedding venues, so I do also want to look good in a dress. They are looking at fall 2025, so I have a year.

    I'm Julie, 35F, 5'3, SAHM to toddler twins. Trying to get my life together to be the best mom possible to them.

    RSW: 157.1

    8/24: 157.7. Normal fluctuations. I went on a couple of small walks yesterday, but nothing major. Eating was okay, apart from the larger than necessary snack on Doritos. Dinners are planned for next week, going grocery shopping today. Now, I feel like I have the basics of eating with intention (mostly) and adding a bit of casual walking into my life. So now I need to take it to the next level and be a bit more focused on actual calories.

    I enjoy reading everyone’s posts with my morning coffee.

    Rnd 268 End Weight 172.0

    8/24- 170.2 What a lovely number to start a new round on.
    I woke up feeling every bit of TOM with a headache on top. I decided to skip my favorite workout of the week (Turbokick) in favor of a slow start to the day.
    It’s going to be an absolutely stunning day so I’m getting ready to rally. This morning will be yard sale day in our neighboring village. Lots of sunshine and walking with DH. Planning on finishing the day with a long lazy boat ride to an early dinner.
    lol I should be doing chores, cleaning and paperwork but those will all still be there tomorrow.

    @TrueCrimeaddict I meant to reply to your post over in round 269, but here it goes. If I recall, you are finding it challenging finding your previous post, editing and then posting. The way I handle it as I keep a running post, either as an open word document on my laptop, or when I travel, an "note" file, which I edit daily. In either case, when I am done with the day's update, I cut and paste into the current JGM10D thread. Super easy on the computer. A little more effort on the phone, or at least that is how it feels to me. Hope we are seeing you here for round 270.
