Highest weight 242 lbs Lowest weight 142 lbs (2019) Re-start JGMTD Feb 2024 @ 204 lbs

Round 296 End Weight 176.0

5/21 174.0
5/22 174.0
5/23 173.0

5/24 174.0 Yesterday got away from me before I got to post. I woke up today to see “5/23 173.0 wowza” saved as a draft.

Of course weekends and holidays are often my stumbling block but just to see these lower numbers feels pretty darn good!

No matter what happens this round I know that I’m making some progress!

lol or I’m just losing muscle, I’ve got a small tendon tear in my right arm. I’ve used 17.5 lb dumbbells for most upper body for years but right now I’m being careful using 8 lbs. It’s going to be a long few months.

5/24 awake at 2:30 AM… I wanted yesterday to be the “start“ of my round regarding movement, but once again, got sidetracked on the appeal and had to get a letter to City Hall- four hours writing & rounding up signatures. Very little sleep once again. Today I have no excuses! While tired, I’m hoping to take a nap and 🚶‍♀️💓🏋️‍♂️⏱️ will hydrate all day. Going blueberry picking this morning with DS, DDIL & TUCKER!
I think about a year ago I really was in the best shape of my life… I was tennis, lifting, walking and fueling… - must get back to lifting, balance & mobility! Weight is a “number”… I want to be strong 💪🏻 and 🏃‍♀️ 🤸🏼mobile! I have to figure out this “no sleep” pattern that’s been going on for quite some time now… thwarting my efforts! 5AM Carolyn won’t give up.💪🏻

🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 297 (my 227th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine.

Goals for every round;

First and foremost, no feeding frenzies – I am not a shark or even a piranha!

to weigh less at the end of the round than the start

be happy because I feel that I have made the round count at the end

I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.

Spoiler Warning

I am the driver in my life & not the passenger, I need to drive my life to a healthy life."Health is wealth",

5/20 142.2 – (trend 141.2) 8.3 miles. Have really been slacking over the last 3 days & now need to pull the reins in NOW! An increase of 2.2 pounds ☹.

EW Rnd 296 142.2

SW Rnd 297 141.4

5/21 141.4 – (trend 141.2) 6.7 miles walked. So here we go again!! And I know I am repeating myself, but I want to make this round count!

5/22 140.6 - (trend 141.1) 10.25 miles walked.

5/23 139.4 – (trend 140.9) Amazed with these numbers, just shows me what I can do when I eat consistently healthily; I should know this by now! 9.02 miles walked.

5/24 DNW- away for the bank holiday weekend.

This is my posting format….

Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed. (Calories In – day before)/ Comment

5/20/25 : 225.6 SW a day before.

5/21: 224.2 (1445 CI)
This may seem like great success, but actually it is great sickness. I guess I will go to the Dr. today at DW insistence. I should have gone yesterday but I can be a bit stubborn.

5/22: 224 (1606 CI)
Many of my calories were from tablespoons full of honey. So carbs were crazy too. Dr. told me honey is one of the best cough suppressants there is. So I was all over that like a bear. She (Dr.) deemed it a virus, so nothing can be done for it med-wise. I feel a lot better this morning already. “I can do hard things!”

I need to work on keeping the calorie count more like the past two days.

5/23: 224.4 (1848 CI)
Still not 100% but steady improvement with my illness. I didn’t let it stop me yesterday.

Today we have our grand kiddos almost all day. DS works today and DDL has a big work meeting off site. (she works at an early childhood center and gets to take DGD with her on normal days.) So we will be kept busy with an 8 yr old boy and an 18 mo old girl. My plans for the boy include a little bike riding and a little fishing.

And for a quiet time I want to introduce him to “Zentangle.” I don’t know how that will go over, because screens are such a big part of his life. Zentangle is a method for organically creating patterns with pen on paper where the important part is the process, not the product. It has a way of calming your mind, because there is no wrong answer. It unlocks unused parts of your brain. Some may call it doodling, but it is a bit more purposeful. I do a form of it while note-taking sometimes. I think I just put some of you to sleep. 😊

5/24: 224.6 (1924 CI)
Zentangle postponed due to a scheduling conflict with Legos, fishing and summer reading kickoff at the local library (with bounce house!). You can only squeeze so much in. Managed to leave the “screens” off with some mild protest.

Summer reading is an awesome idea to help the kiddos retain some brain-wave activity over the summer. There is even an adult division.

@k_littlepage Getting overly hunger can also be a problem for me. One of things I did years ago, and am dabbling with now, is keeping some emergancy items in the car, like portions nuts, protein bars. Obviously, shelf stable, pro-portioned times. I can then start calming the hunger during the drive home, or, even better, I can grab and easy item here or their during my crazy day to prevent.

Right now, when back in MA, the days I visit my mom are the hardest. I refuse to eat the food at the assisted living, and I refuse to eat something from "outside" in front of her. Last week, I had my homemade lentil soup (cold, but sunny) waiting in the car for me as I left. I quickly ate in the parking spot before heading off. I am working hard to solve these situations, like you, as I don't want to backside again like last season home (May - Dec 2024).

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.

5/24 – 128.6 Nice! It came back. If this number as good as if gets for this round, I will be happy. Yesterday, I tried to use the condo gym, 5 minutes in there was a phone call I had to deal with ( I am the interface for pretty number everything for me mom). So that ended that. Went to the movies last night, Mission Impossible Final Reconning, I bought a bottle of water, and swiped 4 handfuls of popcorn from hubby’s bucket. Finished the day 50 calories over target. I consider that a success these days. Since the scale agrees, all is good. Going to try and look for more dresses today, at the Maine Mall. Maybe I’ll get lucky.

@quiltingjaine Me too. Anyone observing me from across the classroom would assume I was taking meticulous notes. In fact my page was covered with doodles. My grades were not good. 😐️ In fact when I told my High School counselor I wanted to be an architect he told me in so many words I was not smart enough. That was a pitiful piece of counseling. A few years later, God willing, I passed the (four day) architectural registration exam on the first try.

"Past performance is not a guarantee of future results." This saying is great for the financial world, the professional world and the physical fitness world. Let's go get a good future-result in spite of our past performance.

SModa61 · May 24

@Chapter_3 I am trying to have that same focus (successful or not) for strength, balance, mobility. I have watched my parents later years and seen the outcome when that is not the case. I need to do better, for myself, and for my family (husband, kids, grandkids). Lots of us here I think!!

@TheBugaloos Welcome Howie! Great to have another guy in the group. Hope you enjoy it here, and find success!!

I'm ready! My goals are to log daily, exercise at least 30 minutes per day, log food daily. I'm not going to beat myself up. I quit smoking 2 weeks ago and I'd rather gain a few pounds than go back to that awful habit.

ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 195.4

05/21-195.4 💠 - (Trend Weight: 195.2)

05/22 – 193.8 ✅ (Trend Weight – 195.2)

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.

I cannot get my current post out of the spoiler below that I didn't ask for. Dang MFP! Saturday's post below:

🌺🌺🌺🌺 05/24-192.2- (Trend Weight: 194.7) MFP is absolutely insisting that my post be in a spoiler today though I have not asked for it. It also will not let me make my tracker smaller today or to even remove it altogether. Sorry for the inconvenience. It is an American Holiday weekend which usually means multiple days of food for various reasons from the BBQ’s to shopping and dining out. I will have to work hard so that the scale weight doesn’t escalate in the coming days It will help that my son is away in Philadelphia this weekend and staying in New Jersey to see the heavy metal concerts going on. He’s a huge Metallica fan and Metal is not my thing. Luckily my oldest and her hubby are fans and could invite him to go. I’m glad to see him getting out. Now I just have to contend with my skinny, teeny tiny little foodie daughter and DGS. I may lose a little of my progress but hopefully nothing I can’t get back to by the end of our challenge week. I woke up extra hungry today which always happens after a nice drop on the scale so I am already on the defense to keep things mindful and in control. It’s time to drink some water and just breathe! Enjoy your Saturday everyone! Stay safe!

Goals this round:

Remember: Just 10 Days, don’t project beyond this!
Conquer the Cravings: no sugar or chips for 10 days
Pay attention to portions: measure and count- even when out
Stop beating myself up. It hasn’t helped a thing, and it’s easy to fix this

5/24: In CT visiting my DB and DSIL; no control of meal planning but brought lots of veggies and salad to keep it somewhat healthy. Can't weigh till I get home tomorrow afternoon but I'm at least paying attention to portions and what I'm eating today.

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 Yesterday we 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.

5/24 134.0 WOW, I slept until 8:30! That’s unheard of!!! DH and big friend went to Golden Corral yesterday so DH still has leftovers. At home I had 2 fried eggs with onion and cheese, bacon and NO TOAST! I had had some me made pretzel bites with my morning coffee.

Thanks, stephanj! I had a crush on "Joy" (Caroline Ellis) as a child. I think she's selling real estate in Spain, now.

🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 297 (my 227th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine.

Goals for every round;

First and foremost, no feeding frenzies – I am not a shark or even a piranha!

to weigh less at the end of the round than the start

be happy because I feel that I have made the round count at the end

I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.

Spoiler Warning

I am the driver in my life & not the passenger, I need to drive my life to a healthy life."Health is wealth",

5/20 142.2 – (trend 141.2) 8.3 miles. Have really been slacking over the last 3 days & now need to pull the reins in NOW! An increase of 2.2 pounds ☹.

EW Rnd 296 142.2

SW Rnd 297 141.4

5/21 141.4 – (trend 141.2) 6.7 miles walked. So here we go again!! And I know I am repeating myself, but I want to make this round count!

5/22 140.6 - (trend 141.1) 10.25 miles walked.

5/23 139.4 – (trend 140.9) Amazed with these numbers, just shows me what I can do when I eat consistently healthily; I should know this by now! 9.02 miles walked.

5/24 DNW- away for the bank holiday weekend.

5/25 DNW - yesterday's weather was forecast to be a washout, so we traveled to Vyne House, a nearby National Trust property with lots of connections to Jane Austin. Weather defied the forecast & was dry, managed a 7 mile walk in and around the grounds as well as the house.

5/25 173.2 When I get overly stressed with projects I don’t eat. This weekend is my last push to ready my dear friends inherited house for an estate sale.
The house must be empty by June 9th.

I am not eating enough.

I would also like to be home by noon today to enjoy some puttering around my own home! And I’m fully committed to a day off tomorrow!

I suspect I will have a wild bump up this evening if DH takes my exhausted self out to dinner.

It’s 4am and I’m gonna hit the ground running. Did I mention I also don’t sleep when I am stressed about projects?
