    Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 297
    May 21 - 30, 2025

    SW: 130.2

    5/21 – 129.4 What’s the expression “a day late and a dollar short”, well the 129ish showed up a day late. But better than never. Being back home and having more obligations is really making exercise a struggle. While I am not accomplishing what I planned or hoped, I am not allowing myself to just plain give up/give in and hoping to fine my rhythm. Calories can be good as long as I don’t let my head get in the way. Hopes for this round. Stay in the 129s or maybe even peek at 128. Tomorrow, I start living in TWO states MA and ME until September, but I am already pre-planning meals in an effort to keep this all going.

    Oh and BTW, I am NOT having fun with this MOG dress shopping. Have bought 18 dresses so far, and none are the “one”. BUT I am learning/remembering what looks good on me. This photos of dresses on 5’10” size 4 models are really deceiving. I need to remember that too. Yesterday, I tried on a dress with a bid bow on the shoulder that came across like a pagant sash. OMG, I looked like a poorly wrapped x-mas present.

    5/22 – 128.6 Is this my reward for behaving well yesterday?? I’m starting to get closer to the weights I hung out at for over a year (plus or minus 125). I just looked back at my old history number. It was right around now, last year, that I last saw a number in this range and started my long slow gain. So if I don’t return to that behavior this year (from now to 2026), that is better than a year ago. Oh, and I did get my walk in yesterday. Today, heading to Maine by 10:30. Got groceries to do, house to clean, packing and remembering what the heck I need up there. There is a small gym on the ground floor, so I might see if I can get that to entice me. :)


    5/23 – 129.4 While yesterday was nice to see, I think this morning is more logical, and I am cool with that.

    Rnd 297 SW: 190lbs 

    My scale only goes by 0.5lbs so I try not to get discouraged along the way! 

    5/21 - 190lbs - I’ve been accidentallyintermittent fasting due to work lol I feel great from it but the scale is staying the same for now.
    5/22 - 189lbs … maybe it’s helping! But I ate a starchy dinner late tonight so I’m thinking tomorrow will be back up 
    5/23 - 188.5lbs - ok I take that back! I had a really hard time not binging on things that not only were unhealthy, but also that my body just couldn’t handle due to sensitivities- I ended up swelling up so much and couldn’t stop the cycle. Seeing any kind of progress is definitely helpful to keep it going. This time last year I was 169lbs!

    Hello MFP Friends 🌞

    I've made it to another round which for me is a great accomplishment. 🤞 Hoping that I complete this round on time each day.

    Right now I'm a total scatter brain for a variety of reasons. While I need to do so much more I'm keeping my goals simple:

    Post on time daily

    Measure body fat weekly

    Eat "protein first" according to the rules of my "Diet for Life"

    Accept stress relief wherever I find it.

    Under promise and over perform? Who knows. Stay POSITIVE. I may surprise myself.

    Rnd 297 SW - 157 lbs

    5/21- 159.0 Still behaving badly. Poor sleep leads to all night grazing or dare I admit, binge eating. I despise that word however it's used. The bottom line is a loss of control.

    Today needs to be busy. The challenge is will I get things done or will I have regrets later. Good 😇 Vibrations. Let's DO This!

    5/22 - 159.4 lbs

    If this keeps up I'll need a category for "regress" instead of progress. Better but not good has become so old it stinks.

    5/23 - 159.2 lbs

    Tanita scale : 18.5% fat / 59.3% water / 22.2% lean - How I wish body composition per my scale was accurate. I know better than to enjoy the feel good moment. Measurements work best for me.

    Water retention for this long is peculiar. My norm is around forty and up to forty-five on a bad day. I'm watching my blood pressure and eating foods that are naturally diuretic. If I don't drain over the weekend I may have to give in and see a doctor. Best to confirm there's nothing unusual going on.

    All day yesterday I was insanely hungry. Fortunately I had nothing easy to nibble and was too lazy to fix anything.

    I've pondered how someone who lives between more fat and less fat, never sticking at slim, manages to quell voracious physical hunger with a few ounces of hot tap water. Does lazy really beat hungry? 😉 I need to be more lazy.

    @_JeffreyD_ I used to do something similar to Zentangle when I was in high school (1966-68) and see that Zentangle was “invented” in 2004! I called it doodling. My mom loved my little abstracts and interpreted one in embroidery which she turned into a tote bag.

    HWE 197.0 (2/2008)

    Weight on 1/17/17 174.5

    OGW 137 (set by WW 2008, WW goal 1985 was 126) UGW was 125 (HS weight)

    1/1/25  139.5

    Comments pertain to previous day

    Rnd 297 SW 133.0

    5/21  132.5 DH says we need to go back to the gym. MEH!

    5/22  133.0 Fried chicken at community bingo last night. Worst chicken EVER! Tough and rubbery, least amount of meat and too much breading. **DH resigned from the HOA board this morning.**

    5/23  135.0  Went to Chili’s with friends. Small salad, cheeseburger, removed half of bun - we were quite cramped because big friend ordered chips and with plates, water glasses and soft drink glasses there was little room to maneuver. Brought home my fries - DH will heat and eat them later probably with his leftover fajitas.

    @SModa61

    I have lived the eat anything like it or not and even mastered low cal/ no cal binge eating. Over time I've learned what I will and will not consume when the urge strikes. My biggest challenge is not heading out to nearby 24 hour edibles. At times I can create a trigger from seemingly nothing. You're not talking millions you'd be a billionaire for sure. It would sell itself and I'll be there elbowing my way to first in line to purchase.

    ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 195.4

    05/21-195.4 💠 - (Trend Weight: 195.2)

    05/22 – 193.8 ✅ (Trend Weight – 195.2) I think I have what @_JeffreyD_ has,. I’ve been so sick for several days now. It didn’t slow me down the first couple of days but it’s taking it’s toll today. It’s a combined head and chest cold. Lots of snot & phlegm. Of course, it has not affected my appetite and I could eat a whole roasted pig if I wanted, but I’m definitely running out of tissue. I wonder how long it will take to get back to normal. DGS and daughter arrive today for 2-4 days as usual. Actually, up to 5 days since Monday is a Holiday. I don’t know their schedule yet. We will be celebrating Memorial Weekend while they are here. I hope she doesn’t overdo it on the food like she typically does. I’d like to keep the festivities involving foods that are out of plan to just one day. We may do the movies this weekend for Lilo & Stitch. I guess that depends how I feel. If I go, I’ll wear a mask to avoid spreading my head cold. That would also mean a restaurant. I don’t want to lose my progress so I must be very careful and thoughtful of every morsel I put in my mouth.

    🌺🌺🌺🌺 05/23-193.6 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 195.0) What a horrible night! My poor DGS was sick from both ends and I spent a great deal of time upstairs cleaning a lot of “accidents” up. He has been somewhat sick since last weekend which is probably where I caught it. I think the throwing up part was just due to such extreme coughing causing his gag reflex. He does do that at times. His appetite is certainly not suffering! Anyway, literally 1 hour of sleep for me then had to get up for my Contractor that’s coming today to tie up some loose ends. Who knew he would text later and say he’ll be a couple of hours late? Ugh! Very little movement on the scale when the day went according to plan. Disappointed but feel that it’s because of no sleep. Maybe tomorrow will show a bit of a bigger drop. I’d love to see another drop before the Holiday festivities inflates my numbers.
