Day/Weight/Comment
ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 191.0
06/10- 190.4 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 192.3)
06/11 – 191.2 ❌ (Trend Weight – 192.2) Well, there’s that “non-diet” dinner I cooked last night showing up without any hesitation whatsoever. However, it was only 1226 calories but 21 carbs over goal. So it actually wasn’t too bad and I’m proud that I kept it within reason with portion control. Dinner was very late as I was still outside working on raking and burning storm damage. Ate at 9:30 pm so that may be a factor. Eating late, however, really curbed the snack monster. I’ll be positive and hope that I just shook things up like a wet pillowcase in the laundry basket as I prep it to hang on the clothesline out back. Shaking it out…..Yea, maybe it will straighten things out. Even my body may need a new perspective from time to time. Happy Hump Day Everyone!
🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️06/12-193.2 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 192.3) Wow! I didn’t expect it to be up THAT much! A taco truck came to our area and will be here for about 2 weeks. Mexican food is a treat in my town as it is not readily available without some travel. I ate TOO much not knowing ahead of time how BIG they are. Delicious but I won’t be going back. I hope most of this is bloat/sodium. We’ll see. DD and DGS arrive today. Gotta stay STRONG.

6/10 231 ~🚶🏽🍎💧 I've really got to pack mypatientspatience… This is not a sprint…. At least I didn't bounce up which I usually do at the start of a round….3 miles yesterday and 1604 calories.
6/11 231.2 ~ 🚶🏽💧Expected more and probably will jump up tomorrow. Calories 2251 and only 1 mile indoor walk as it was a work day. Today - already in for 2 miles, now just control the calories! Excited to make chicken tacos on the pellet grill today :)
6/12 232.0 ~ 🚶🏽💧 urgh….I was impressed that a Seagrams Escape was only 3% alcohol, then I looked at the calories. So not worth it. Chicken tacos were good, I think I'm going to make a taco salad in the future, sans the shells. Calories 2096 🥺. I've got to get back to tracking before I consume. Got the 2 miles in yesterday. DH decided he wants to do a 7 day health challenge starting 6/16. I'm on board as often he is my trigger!

JGMTD#300 CHALLENGE?!
Gals: (I don’t see any guys this round!). I’ve been thinking about a challenge for NEXT ROUND, even though we’re IN a challenge so I guess it’s a “challenge within a challenge”…..
JGMTD Round 300 is approaching fast! So… “300” of “something”? It’s also my 70th round - personally…. It can be anything you want… 300 more or less of something… Or 70 more or less of something… Could be cals, macros, repetitions, steps, anything you want…. Can be cumulative for 10 days or daily? I simply think it’s extra special that next round will be #300 and for me #70 is extra special and my two years of JGMTD is right around the corner….Any thoughts? If the guys happen to jump back in, you are welcome too!!!!
So… please be thinking on it and define your PERSONAL “JGMTD#300” challenge… If you want! 300 or 70 daily or cumulative. This is just for fun! Let’s do this!!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻@quiltingjaine is this allowed?!😎

Let's do this again folks.🤩 Wishing everyone a successful round of self care.
I can barely manage simple right now. Last round I dropped water weight. Looks impressive at over 5 lbs but no fat loss.
I'm getting off a temporary medication and eating better. Hopefully by next week I can take "true" weights and measures.
Goals:
*Show Up - 10 of 10 posts including days I'll have no internet access or a scale. I'll make my usual note and post it when I can.
*Weigh daily - I'll use any scale I can find while traveling and I will call myself out if I don't do my best to find one.
*Post body composition twice - Subject to the scale; however, I'll will bring my tape measure and note changes.
Rnd 299 SW 153.4 lbs
6/10 - 153.2 lbs
Nothing can best the all water 6.2 lb decline last round. Measurements are all over the place because of boating.
Eating is getting better. If I can stay away from easy quick foods I'll regain stability and save money too. Best of all, good food tastes better.
6/11 - 154.8 lbs
Not complaining because this is a fully loaded weight: wallet, keys, jewelry on board after breakfast. Today I'm 15 lbs from my maximum weight goal.
A little progress at last. I'm kicking myself for slipping up so badly. This Winter I had under 10 lbs to go and better muscle tone.
6/12 - 155.8 lbs
It's been a rough couple days. So much to do and too little was done. I'm still grabbing what's easy but without the chain restaurants. This considerably reduces the calorie count.

Rnd 299 SW 261
Highest weight 364, had the sleeve lost down to 229. I've put back on 30 after I started back drinking alcohol. My goal this round is to stop alcohol, decrease fast food/processed foods and lose 5-10lbs.
6/10 261 Was in the road all day for dr appt's and groceries. Proud that I picked unsweet tea instead of Diet Dr. Pepper.
6/11 261 Worked today, was so busy didn't get to eat my yogurt or fruit for breakfast. Had salad and veggies for lunch then fajitas at Cafe Del Rio for Supper.
6/12 262.2 Not surprised as I haven't been able to take a fluid pill this week so I have several extra pounds of fluid on. Working a double today. Food hasn't been bad today. Need to increase my water intake. I am off the next 4 days!

6/10 traveling home today. I may not weigh tomorrow… I need a few days to hydrate & get back to routine. My brain won’t be able to handle the shock. Denial is best here. Expecting a disappointing #… need the mindset to build momentum & face the challenge!
Had time to reflect the past week. 66 is NOT 56. Many thoughts to be distilled to a few basic priorities. 🚶♀️🏋️♂️💓🤸🏼🙆♀️💦. Excited for next steps. Morning routines = no negotiation. Using June & July to regroup & love on me. Lose 5lbs & gain muscle & mobility. Key relationships have been neglected too…. Mind. Body. Soul. Whole food as fuel. Ready… set… go!
6/11 under ✅ 1200 cals, P:E = 1.4. Listened to Huberman podcasts & will change up my daily routine- should improve my sleep when implemented. He is quite technical/ scientific. A big change is coffee 90 min after waking - after morning walk. 🏋️♂️late morning. Walking 20-30 min after each meal. 80/20 rule for strength & endurance. (Any form of exercise). What I’m most pleased about is committing to a new nuance to my routine to change it up, to improve sleep & thus quality of life/ decision making (discipline!). Let’s give it a try!
6/12 ⚖️ 132.8lbs. I can live with that- I guess. Push forward! cals <1200. PE= 1:1; 🥩120g. Really solid day yesterday! Thinking more bloat will drop today. 6/13 🚶♀️8k, good fuel. P:E 1.5. Solid day. Rain hindered walk. Worked around the house restoring order and calm (after trip, property sale & city hall). More today. 💪🏻. I have a challenge that when I wake before the sun comes up coffee is a non-negotiable … slept only 5.5 hrs last night - after a week of averaging 7.5 hrs. Sleep is key! As soon as the sun comes up, I’m ready to charge forward. 💦has been excellent! Today’s focus: 🚶♀️🏋️♂️⏱️
‼️3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣‼️Thinking about my personal JGMTD#300 mini-challenge w/i the challenge! Honoring all the folks who have made this group worthwhile… A meaningful out-of-the-box commitment? Some kind of a PUSH! I want that…. Ready for ideas!
ONWARD!! #discipline#mindbodysoul #HSF
It’s all about mindset!

Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 299
June 10 - 19, 2025
SW: 127.0
6/10 – 127.2 This number implies that MAYBE somehow yesterday was real. Ending up doing a “feeding” day yesterday. Woke before 6 to hydrate for lab work. Got to the lab at 6:45 expecting a line, only to find out they open at 7:30. But hey, I was first in line, but no coat in the cold for 45 minutes. :P Ran nearby errands before heading home, so was uber hungry. Ate like 2/3 of my daily calories by noon, and did lots on Caramel cold brew M&M’s in the evening. Felt good to actually not be hungry in the evening. Tracked everything, and was 800+ cal over my deficit target number. Not sure what maintenance my number is, but it is higher than deficit (yes, I can figure that out :) ), so mathematical principles would say my surplus calories are some number less than 800 cal. Yes, I’m rambling this morning …….Most lab work came in. Was hoping for a little better. We’ll see what comes.
6/11- 128.8 Perfect day until 8 pm, then I went off the wall. Oh well. It is now 7:30 at night when I am finally posting. Today, so far, day was “good enough”. Hopefully the scale in the morning will show I have not done a full 1.8 lb damage I saw on the scale this morning.
6/12 – 129.8 Three days in a row. Posted at 7:30 last night, all was fine, then I did another bad evening. Gotta sort this out. I really did not want to step on the scale this morning because I knew what was coming, but avoiding the scale is the start of a snowball for me. Today will be good. Period. Call me out tomorrow if I report differently!!!
6/13 – 130.0 I was solidly under calories by evening (an absolute *kitten* show of a day), and amazingly was not hungry. Later in the evening, I was proud of myself for chosing a healthy treat of skinnygirl popcorn. Ate that, was great, still under on calories, and still not hungry, then I started again. Four nights in a row. Argh.

Crime Scene Investigation:
(Why I ate cinnamon buns for lunch yesterday)
- Not enough protein at breakfast
- Got cranky with a coworker
- Took lunch 2 hrs late
- Ran to store hungry and anxious
- Bought buns”for the kids”
- Inhaled two before I could stop
What could I do instead
A) don’t play with breakfast, it’s the foundation
B) calm myself at work - deep breathing, perspective
C) take my lunch! I am not a surgeon they can wait an hour for me
D) don’t shop hangry
E) they are never “for the kids” lol
F) it’s never too late to change your mind before you take that first bite.
I will try my best today.

It has been a long time and I always loved these threads! Glad to see it's still going. I weigh wearing clothes, so daily weight will be a little all over the place but I'm aiming for trend down!
A little bit about me: I'm 33 years old, female, 160cm (5ft 2.5in) tall. I have a 2yo son who is so full of energy and keeps me eternally busy! I generally keep fit doing judo (although I have injured my knee right now). I have crohns and am currently working with my IBD team to try and get myself into remission (inflammation markers are down, but they are tweaking the medication to hopefully get it even lower).
SW: 81.2kg GW: 70kg UGW: 62kg
Round 299 SW: 80.5kg TW: 80.4kg6/10 - DNW
6/11 - 80.5kg - Difficult day yesterday, found out my fitbit hadn't been doing my heartrate for the last 2 days and so I hadn't got any extra cals for those days, which might explain why my in/out looked so marginal. And then I fixed it with an update, but then it ran out of battery and died, so I also didn't get any extra cals for yesterday either. Made poor breakfast choices (welshcakes, I love -em but they are not a healthy breakfast) but managed to not let it get away from me. Was desperate to eat all the chocolate after dinner, but settled for a single galaxy egg truffle that managed to tame the beast, so I'm counting that as a win. Had been an exhausting day somehow, so I ended up conking out in bed really early.
6/12 - 80.7kg - Woke up with pain in my neck, like I'd pulled a muscle or something (a recurring problem), so took it fairly easy yesterday. Did a yoga stretching routine and managed to roll away most of the pain. Didn't eat overly badly, but did have a glass of wine with lunch which was some pretty empty calories, but I'm not going to lie, I really enjoyed that glass of wine. Luckily, even though I was WFH I kept pretty active and so only ended up 12kcals over the target. NSV was putting some of my dinner into a tub because I was full!
6/13 - 80.2 - I mean, I don't deserve that, but I'll take it. Yesterday our office bought pizza for lunch, and I'm a sucker for pizza. I ate a lot of pizza. And then a trip to the pub. On the bright side I did have to hike across town so that added to my steps. And I was driving so I only had one drink, so all in all I still ended up under maintenance for the day. Neck still hurts so that's not great.

6/12 132.5 Going to the gym today then out to Great Greek with neighbor and her visiting daughter.
6/13 132.0 We seem to be in a never ending “extreme heat warning” - today is only supposed to be 107 - cooling trend???
Round 300 will be my 294th, I think.4 -
Things I may try for the Round 300 challenge:
- 30 minutes per day of exercise x 10 days = 300
- 300 less calories on certain days.
I'm thinking of mixing and matching these two. A few days of 300 lower calories to "shake things up", and on other days I will get in my 30 minutes of exercise.

06/11 – 191.2 ❌ (Trend Weight – 192.2)
06/12-193.2 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 192.3) Wow! I didn’t expect it to be up THAT much! A taco truck came to our area and will be here for about 2 weeks. Mexican food is a treat in my town as it is not readily available without some travel. I ate TOO much not knowing ahead of time how BIG they are. Delicious but I won’t be going back. I hope most of this is bloat/sodium. We’ll see. DD and DGS arrive today. Gotta stay STRONG.
🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️06/13-192.0 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 192.3) A late weigh-in. I usually don’t weigh on Fridays because of the time table but I wanted to see if any of the bloat from the Mexican food yesterday dropped off. About half. It takes one day to add it and way longer to lose it. Oh, the complexities of the human body! Emergency travel required today as DGS age 6 is being taken by ambulance to a hospital downstate a couple of hours away for emergency appendix removal. Meals will be hospital food or a local restaurant later. Lots of travel and hospital sitting. I don’t expect good things on the scale tomorrow and may skip weighing altogether. My main focus right now is getting on the road. Prayers for Asher. Today is also my oldest daughter’s birthday. She’s 42 now. Where does the time go? Just yesterday she was wearing a little sunsuit and learning to walk on the scratchy lawn of our little humble rental house! Now she’s a beautiful wife, mother and headstart teacher. I couldn’t be prouder of her!

6/10 231 ~🚶🏽🍎💧 I've really got to pack my patients patience… This is not a sprint…. At least I didn't bounce up which I usually do at the start of a round….3 miles yesterday and 1604 calories.
6/11 231.2 ~ 🚶🏽💧Expected more and probably will jump up tomorrow. Calories 2251 and only 1 mile indoor walk as it was a work day. Today - already in for 2 miles, now just control the calories! Excited to make chicken tacos on the pellet grill today :)
6/12 232.0 ~ 🚶🏽💧 urgh….I was impressed that a Seagrams Escape was only 3% alcohol, then I looked at the calories. So not worth it. Chicken tacos were good, I think I'm going to make a taco salad in the future, sans the shells. Calories 2096 🥺. I've got to get back to tracking before I consume. Got the 2 miles in yesterday. DH decided he wants to do a 7 day health challenge starting 6/16. I'm on board as often he is my trigger!
6/13 230.8 ~ 🚶🏽💧⬇️ 3 miles in early yesterday. It's already noon and I'm debating on whether a "rest" day is warranted….It's supposed to rain so we shall see. Calories 2027.

@stephanj 💓the Crime Scene Investigation!!!
The scale doesn’t measure effort. But your body and mind feel it.💯
💜 MY MISSION STATEMENT 💜
Show up for myself daily—with strength, grace, and purpose.
Choose progress over perfection and stay the course.
Honor my body through movement, nourishment, and belief.
Each step moves me closer to my healthiest, happiest self. I
am strong. I am steady. I am unstoppable.5 -
6/12 262.2 Not surprised as I haven't been able to take a fluid pill this week so I have several extra pounds of fluid on. Working a double today. Food hasn't been bad today. Need to increase my water intake. I am off the next 4 days!
6/13 258 after taking fluid pill. Graduation party for a friend today. Spent the day cleaning house, cooking and entertaining.

Let's do this again folks.🤩 Wishing everyone a successful round of self care.
I can barely manage simple right now. Last round I dropped water weight. Looks impressive at over 5 lbs but no fat loss.
I'm getting off a temporary medication and eating better. Hopefully by next week I can take "true" weights and measures.
Goals:
*Show Up - 10 of 10 posts including days I'll have no internet access or a scale. I'll make my usual note and post it when I can.
*Weigh daily - I'll use any scale I can find while traveling and I will call myself out if I don't do my best to find one.
*Post body composition twice - Subject to the scale; however, I'll will bring my tape measure and note changes.
Rnd 299 SW 153.4 lbs
6/10 - 153.2 lbs
Nothing can best the all water 6.2 lb decline last round. Measurements are all over the place because of boating.
Eating is getting better. If I can stay away from easy quick foods I'll regain stability and save money too. Best of all, good food tastes better.
6/11 - 154.8 lbs
Not complaining because this is a fully loaded weight: wallet, keys, jewelry on board after breakfast. Today I'm 15 lbs from my maximum weight goal.
A little progress at last. I'm kicking myself for slipping up so badly. This Winter I had under 10 lbs to go and better muscle tone.
6/12 - 155.8 lbs
It's been a rough couple days. So much to do and too little was done. I'm still grabbing what's easy but without the chain restaurants. This considerably reduces the calorie count.
6/13 - 155.6 lbs
Nothing new. Repeat of the same.

6/10 traveling home today. I may not weigh tomorrow… I need a few days to hydrate & get back to routine. My brain won’t be able to handle the shock. Denial is best here. Expecting a disappointing #… need the mindset to build momentum & face the challenge!
Had time to reflect the past week. 66 is NOT 56. Many thoughts to be distilled to a few basic priorities. 🚶♀️🏋️♂️💓🤸🏼🙆♀️💦. Excited for next steps. Morning routines = no negotiation. Using June & July to regroup & love on me. Lose 5lbs & gain muscle & mobility. Key relationships have been neglected too…. Mind. Body. Soul. Whole food as fuel. Ready… set… go!
6/11 under ✅ 1200 cals, P:E = 1.4. Listened to Huberman podcasts & will change up my daily routine- should improve my sleep when implemented. He is quite technical/ scientific. A big change is coffee 90 min after waking - after morning walk. 🏋️♂️late morning. Walking 20-30 min after each meal. 80/20 rule for strength & endurance. (Any form of exercise). What I’m most pleased about is committing to a new nuance to my routine to change it up, to improve sleep & thus quality of life/ decision making (discipline!). Let’s give it a try!
6/12 ⚖️ 132.8lbs. I can live with that- I guess. Push forward! cals <1200. PE= 1:1; 🥩120g. Really solid day yesterday! Thinking more bloat will drop today. 6/13 🚶♀️8k, good fuel. P:E 1.5. Solid day. Rain hindered walk. Worked around the house restoring order and calm (after trip, property sale & city hall). More today. 💪🏻. I have a challenge that when I wake before the sun comes up coffee is a non-negotiable … slept only 5.5 hrs last night - after a week of averaging 7.5 hrs. Sleep is key! As soon as the sun comes up, I’m ready to charge forward. 💦has been excellent! Today’s focus: 🚶♀️🏋️♂️⏱️
‼️3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣‼️Thinking about my personal JGMTD#300 mini-challenge w/i the challenge! Honoring all the folks who have made this group worthwhile… A meaningful out-of-the-box commitment? Some kind of a PUSH! I want that…. Ready for ideas!
6/14 Fluctuations?-impact from trip? Still carrying foreign foods…? Let’s keep momentum!
ONWARD!! #discipline#mindbodysoul #HSF
It’s all about mindset!

Oh my, I have so many responses and I’m sure I’ve forgotten half!
@stephanj I’m dead. Your work with CSI is spot on!
@deepwoodslady Sending your grandson all of the good vibes!
@itladyee now I’m thinking about taco salad!
@Chapter_3 I love the 300 hundred idea!!!! lol @SModa61 watching 300 for inspiration is very funny!!!I’m thinking of 30 of an exercise each day. Trying to decide between the worst which would be burpees with a push up or the least worst jumping jacks.
Or it could be 30 minutes of self-care each day!
