November 22 - December 1, 2024

Please join us starting on 11/22 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 279.

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. 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 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

    This round includes DGD first birthday + two weekends + Thanksgiving + company in the house for both weekends. For me it’s a perfect storm. I will be looking for easy wins this round to somewhat offset our family tendency to celebrate with food. If I am smart I will look for some hard fought wins too.

    @capewrathultra I have a limited understanding of boxing, but I think "the towel" is thrown into the ring by the fighter's "corner" if they see no way for him to win. I am in your corner and will not be throwing in the towel for you. :)

    Hi, I'm Charissa, back for another round. I will keep coming back and I will get this thing right, sooner or later.

    Thank you, @QuiltingJaine, for keeping us focused in 2024!
    Less than 6 weeks left in his year...

    Round 278 - I changed scales, which immediately bumped me up 1 lb. If I factor in that change, I probably did break even for the round and my brain needs to hear that!🙂 Round 279 with Thanksgiving in the middle. I will focus on all the other days and not worry about that one day. There are a few things that will increase my calories on that day > Homemade macaroni and Cheese and pecan pie. The jury is still out on whether I attempt my Mom's home made rolls.

    I am considering rejoining a gym. I have my workout space in the basement that's adequate, but I miss the leg workouts on the machines and I'm finding that my intensity is waning. I looked into Planet Fitness (was a member pre-covid), then I looked at another exercise center (was a member there maybe 8 years ago) (with a women only weight room , with fitness classes and jacuzzi). To my delight, because I am considered a senior, the cost of the exercise center is the same for the PF multiple club membership!!! The exercise center is about 7 additional minutes away, but I think I'm good with that!!!

    So here we go last week of November 2024... my motto(s) - All the things I need to read daily!!!
    🏋🏾‍♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
    Eat well 🥗to Live Well 🚢✈️🧳
    H2O - Make it Flow 💦💦💦
    Lose weight in the kitchen ⚖️, get fit in the gym🏋🏾‍♀️
    Note to Self: Alcohol kills weight loss as the focus is burning alcohol calories and not fat calories!🚫🍷
    Goals this round:
    Resuming structure~Goals and Targets
    - Closing my rings M-S🚶🏽
    - Strength training 🏋️‍♀️ 3x/week
    - Tracking/Under Calorie Budget > Plan for 1250 - Flex for 400 = 1650 (1250 - 1650) with small frequent meals🍎
    - Macros - hit Protein > Plan for 150. 100 is acceptable. (100 - 150) ✅
    - Water - 50 oz minimum 💧
    - Downward trend⬇️

    Hi! I’m Amanda, 5’2”, 39F in Virginia.

    SW RND 279: 130.4
    GW RND 278: 130.4

    Set my goal to just maintain this round. A trip to MIL's, including Thanksgiving, in between two weekends. Whoof. I won't have a scale 11/25-11/30, and our last weigh-in of this round is the day after a day of road food. I feel like even maintaining is ambitious but I'm going to do the best I can under the circumstances!

    NS GOALS:
    🏃🏻‍♀️ or 🏋🏻‍♀️ 5/10 days
    🚫 no drinking 4/10 days
    📝 track food 5/10 days
