06/26-190.2 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 191.1) Wow! I woke up ravenously hungry yesterday and couldn’t get satisfied all day! The BBQ never materialized as they decided to go swimming at the Lake instead. I stuck to my pre-logged meal plan but went off the rails a bit at snack time late last night. I had fit about 12 oz of wine into my allowances but then later found I needed something with volume. Too bad because my menus were so on point otherwise yesterday that the needle could have went down. My trend weight is still going down, however. I’m happy to see that. I’m hoping for a good day today. I haven’t had more than 4 hours of sleep per night in about a week now. I just wish I could sleep in but my body wakes me. Cold and rainy in Michigan. The heat may kick on!

Challenge 300: 30 minutes of exercise bike all in one sitting as I watched the first episode of the new season (#4) of The Bear on Hulu.

🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️06/27-189.8 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 191.0) Dipping my toe back into the 180’s pool and it is feeling good. I think I’ll dive right in! I’m looking for that magical 7 (187 point anything or less) My clothing feels so much better when I’m bouncing around the 180’s over the 190’s. Records show that I was mid 180’s last June so that makes sense. Have a great weekend everyone!

Challenge 300: I did 30 minutes on the exercise bike in two 15 minute sessions.

Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 300
June 20 - 29, 2025

63 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 up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress loss if2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress gain)
SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6

GW Maintaining between 124 – 126 SW: 127.6 Since my weight is slowing coming back down, I’ve added back in history details INCLUDING my maintenance numbers. In January, it seemed silly including my goal was to maintain 124 – 126 when I was weighing 138. Those maintenance numbers are in sight now. Just need to get there. Round 300 – My Plan

So two rounds ago, I wanted to declare that I was going to channel the UAC that I was in back in 2020, when I also first started here (was doing both). An aspect of the UAC was 20 minutes of intentional exercise each day. No constraints on what, just that it is intentional exercise. No saying at the end of the day “oh, I when grocery shopping, that counts”. Cleaning could count (not for me) as long as there was the intent of exercise. Regarding my declaration two rounds ago, life went to heck, again, before I declared intent. I’m taking the opportunity with “300” to do a variant. 30 minutes a day of intentional exercise. No constraints. Does not have to be contiguous. Can be three sets of 10 minutes throughout the day. Having that option got me through some busy days while in the UAC. I would get on the exercise bike for 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes at night. Sometimes that fits when there is no longer period of time available. Good luck all!

6/20 – 128.0 Despite going out to eat, my calories we actually very good yesterday. Pretty much on target. I did meet my 30 minute exercise with a 36 minute walk. I likely would have skipped had I not had the commitment, but also having a daily goal that was not burdensome for time.

6/21 – 127.4 So, yesterday I gave it a go, and headed to Planet Fitness in Maine. Finally!! As I pull in the parking lot, it is filled with brand new equipment being assembled…. No PF workout for me. So, I ran a couple errands. Headed back to the marina where I left DH, and took a walk along the river instead. Calories were spot on. Today is more challenging. Taking the boat to Portland Maine to go to North 43 Bistro for lunch. DH is taking me to my favorite restaurants this round. Handling them carefully. The one helpful part of today is that I get seasick. That might curb my appetite. :P

6/22 – 128.4 After boat ride and dining out with calories that used up most of my day (was thoughtful in my choices), about 8 Pm I could not stay on track any longer and ate a whole box of salt and pepper crackers. Trying to get on track today, but feeling off, which makes it hard.

6/23 – 130.0

6/24 – 129.0 Round 300 is starting to look like round 299. So much for my plans.

6/25 – 129.2 So yesterday’s “two” slices of pizza became 3, plus a stella d’oro S cookie. No exercise since the 21st, BUT I got out this morning at 7 and got in a walk, 2.5 miles and 39 minutes. So, 3 out of 6 days so far. Not great, but more than I did last round.

6/26 – 127.6 I wake almost every morning lately with a caffeine withdrawal headache. Yesterday was good, today not again. I need to start by stopping any caffeine after my morning (to break the withdrawal). I have always been super sensitive to caffeine, or lack of it. Once a pattern of coffee is established, like maybe a week of the same, then going forward, if I miss that “dose” I develop a headache a few hours later. To not be controlled, I really have to be 100% off of it. Mind you, my breakfast coffee is long ¼ caffeinated.

Anyhow, yesterday was good calories, and I got in that nice walk. Today is MIL’s 86th birthday and is Chinese food with the extended family plus dessert. I also need to figure out what to do for my exercise today. I’ll work on that. :)

7/27 – 129.0 Finally posting at 9:30 PM. Yesterday, did a small workout with some home dumbells, but not my full 30 minutes. Behaved well enough at the birthday dinner.

Also, thanks to all of you with your kind comments regarding my likely MOG dress. Your encouragement will hopefully help me keep focus on keeping control of my weight and getting in more exercise! I so appreciate you all!!

🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 300 (my 230th). 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".

6/19 141.6 (trend 142) no loss – no gain!

EW Rnd 299 141.6

SW Rnd 300 141.4

6/21 142.4 (trend 142.1) 10.29 miles walked.6/22 140.8 (trend 141.9) such fluctuations! but I think yesterdays was due to the high carbs previous day. 11.9 miles walked.

6/23 140.8 – (trend 141.8) no structured walking; travelled up to DS & family for a birthday BBQ for DH.

6/24 140.2 – (trend 141.6) 7.88 miles walked.

6/25 140.2 - (trend 141.4) 9 miles walked.

6/26 139.6 – (trend 141.2) 7.74 miles walked.

6/27 139.6 – (trend 141) no structured walking. This will be my end of round weight, later today we tow the caravan up to Derbyshire & Yorkshire for a weeks holiday. Very happy that at the moment I seem to have settled into good healthy eating within normal limits, 2 pounds lost. I’ll still check in each day.

6/28 DNW - 5.94 miles walked.

6/28- 178.0 Yesterday I put the back porch and patio back together. I had scattered everything to dry in the sun after power washing. I had the brilliant idea that I should paint the porch before reassembling.

Three days later as I surveyed the scene, I realized realistically I don’t have time to add in another project!!! I’m so used to overwhelming myself with more things that “need” to be done. Instead I spent an hour putting it all back in place, everything squeaky clean so that I can sit down and enjoy some of this summer not just rush from doing one thing to another!

Baby steps to stop overwhelming myself so I can stop trying to eat myself out of the hole of stress I am creating.

Today involves wrapping up two huge projects- one gardening and the second is listing the house I spent the last two months fully emptying out for a friend!

6/28 – 128.8 Headache again and no TMI this morning. :( Made it to the gym yesterday. Yay! I think it is only my 5th session since returning north beginning of May. It is clear how much progress I have lost. I need to remember that for motivation. Lunch was some Chinese leftovers (carefully & thoughtfully selected and portioned). Then dinner was just my frequent lunch of easy homemade lentil soup. Today, we are playing with the grandsons, and then taking them to lunch. Like yesterday, lunch will be my dinner. I need to look at this menu and sort what I will have. Can’t believe tomorrow is the end of the round.

OSW: 237.8 (Nov. 2016.) I was actually at 250 in 2011 or so…
OGW: 199 (just to say I did)
Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205

Simple Daily Goal for this round, celebrate what I accomplish and learn from what I don’t accomplish. Find out what works for me:
-Log Food. ✏️
-Meet CI/CO target, net 1500 (lowered from 1750). 🎯
-Exercise minimum 20 minutes. More if possible.💓

Round 300 Posts
This is my posting format….
Month/Day: Scale Reading first thing today before getting dressed. / Goals met ✏️🎯💓/ Comment

6/19/25 : 226.8 SW before.

6/20: 225.6✏️🎯💓
Goals easily met yesterday. I may need to lower my CI/CO target to net 1500. Would have been better at exercise but I was stuck around home all afternoon waiting for the AC service to show up. Window was 12:00 – 4:30. He finally came at 5:30. First-world problems, I know.

It will be tougher today because of lunch out with friends. I don’t even know where we are going yet. Must. Avoid. French. Fries!

I hope you all like my added color. HA!

6/21: 226.2
✏️🎯💓
Goals met. I will say the arrow almost missed the target altogether, but I was using 1500 CI/CO goal. Got some decent exercise and that helped.

I’ll tell you what does not help. Social Media. (I don’t count this group as social media) If I happen to click on an email notification that so-and-so posted this-or-that, I can easily lose an hour (or more!). I have plenty I can do instead and be a better person for it. I think a component of this habit is boredom. It is kind of like mindless snacking. I have a better purpose.

Missed the target. Regret. I had monumental exercise yesterday and stopped caring about CI. My scale reading went down, but I suspect I will pay tomorrow. For me, eating back a few exercise calories is ok but I shouldn’t treat it like a free pass.

6/23: 225.6
✏️🎯💓
Disaster was averted yesterday. Without this JGMTD challenge, my steering wheel would have fallen off in my hands and all four tires would have lost contact with the road surface. I am thankful for something as little as paying attention.

6/24: 224.0
✏️🎯💓
Spent the afternoon at the public pool with DGS. (Seniors get in free.) 😊 So, my exercise was walking to the pool some splashing around in the pool. There is nothing more inspirational than having to get half naked in public. I know nobody is paying attention (in fact I am probably invisible to most people) but it seems like I am in the spotlight.

6/25: 223.4
✏️🎯💓
I should be ecstatic about the scale this morning, but yesterday was so abnormal it shouldn’t even count. Last evening I felt like I could get the stomach flu. The feeling passed before bedtime, but I did skip supper altogether. Maybe it was a late response to my long bike ride in the heat midmorning yesterday. Perhaps a touch of heat stroke. I had a cobb salad out with wife for lunch, and she had the same, so it wasn’t food related. I felt fine until about 4:00pm.

It was HOT yesterday but I stayed well hydrated, I thought.

6/26: 223.6
✏️💓
I fell just short of my target with a thoughtless potato chip mishap. Took a short walk at dusk. Too darn hot yesterday for much outdoor exercise. I probably spent 5 hours reading a novel.

6/27: 224.6
✏️🎯💓
Yesterday was spot-on in every way so I don’t know how I gained a pound. I will chalk it up to my body not honoring the time honored A+B=C. Sometimes it equals D or Z.

6/28: 226.4
✏️💓
Main culprit for missing the target is going over to friends’ house last night for dessert and cards. They always have a buffet of snacks. The topper was a big piece of peach pie. I will say this scale reading bump surprised me though. Oh, and two frozen margaritas. Maybe no surprise. Exercise was really good yesterday. What would be the harm in feeling a bit of hunger today?

6/20 I have six+ weeks to improve this recent slippery trend… up 3.5lbs since this day last year. Determined to stop the 🎢 ! Journal, reflect, discipline & press on. Last round was a great start even though the scale didn’t reflect it. This round will be 💪🏻. “Celebrate health with action!”

6/21 Thank u all for welcoming Eleanor! Solid day one ✅ all measures. I did the 300 jumps ⏱️soon after water & coffee (3x100)… & set a positive tone for the rest of the day. Several “snacks”🚶‍♀️🤸🏼🏋️‍♂️throughout the day. 🏆Kcals & macros. Onward!

6/22 DNW Rotten sleep. Will push forward & perhaps nap later today. #300 challenge on goal. Over in carbs. Low protein. 1400 cals. Portion control continues as THE constant challenge. Must constantly renew my mindset and remain present.

6/23 good day. Checked my one week averages:

Pg 100; Fg 50; Cg 20. I dont track 💦- approx. 70 - 80 oz. Still feeling bloated & lethargic from avg less than six hours sleep…

I’m wearing my chauffeur cap this week… Taking Tucker to and from soccer camp. Looking forward to our time together.

NSV: keeping the #300 challenge going is def a REAL challenge… ! Jumping is welcomed in the morning w/ a + attitude but getting in 70 min of 💓Z2 was a HUGE challenge yesterday … But accomplished!✅ I’m thinking that’s what the 10 day challenge is supposed to be like… Doing anything for 10 days. The JGTMD was true genius when the founders started it… Overtime - I’ve lost that mindset “can do/will do” determination and committing to this mini #300 brings it all back as to its original purpose. . I can do anything for 10 days! COME ON! I WILL celebrate with action today! Going on day four….. Let’s do THIS!!!!

6/24 nutrition was excellent yesterday. #3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ - barely made 70 min 💓Z2 but jumping 300×1st thing in the morning is really good! Starts my day with a “plunge” (after coffee & prayer) … Leads into stretching… creates instant energy. Don’t think I “celebrated” the last 20 min of 💓Z2 - but when completed, I felt satisfied/content/accomplished. (I broke that into three segments, and by the end of the day, the heat & rationalizations were almost too much.) oh the mind-games! Yes, I can do hard things.

Today: tennis & 💦💦💦!

6/25 ⚖️131.8 not really sure I believe this number… an unexpected ⬇️surely to be followed by an ⬆️! Yesterday, I had already completed all of my goals by 10AM… - ended up eating 1405 cal & all of my macros ✅… I think I overdid the body but it felt pretty good. 💪🏻 I thought perhaps I would sleep well but woke up at 3:30AM. Hunger definitely increases with two hours of intense cardio/heat. I sense I’m getting back into my full routine pretty steadily now… Jumping rope in the morning definitely sets the tone for the day. My average steps are up which means my mental clarity/peace & purpose is also up…. There’s an undeniable contentment when I take care of myself, mind, body, and soul! Remember THIS!

#discipline #mindbodysoul #HSF

6/26 131.8 again? Better sleep! Perfect day! I signed up for our town’s annual “4 on the 4th” which is a 4 mile walk/run - limited to 400 participants… 4th place gets the 🏆. DGS Tucker is joining me! Start time is 7AM - 🇺🇸! (DH will be in CO with his brothers). Lady🗽 shows up every year along with Uncle Sam. Race start is pledge🇺🇸 & singing the Star-Spangled Banner w/ sparklers… ending with a 🧨 🧨🧨to start the race and of course, a one sq. block “beer run” after … featuring a John Phillips Sousa band… Most dress in festive 🇺🇸costumes … @Skyleen75 - this is right up your alley! (I’m going with a red shirt) Where are you?! I’ve participated only a handful of times in the last 20+ years, but I realize this will be the most meaningful. Will the jumps & 70min 💓Z2 prep me?

😎🇺🇸😎

NSV Sticking with the 3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣mini- challenge has been HARD‼️… There’s no way I will lapse now! Early dinner with friends tonight and a huge funeral/ celebration of life all day Sat will be tempting… But I will plan ahead and prevail.

6/27. Ate late so skipped the ⚖️. Also ate dessert & wasn’t worth it (I love Key-lime pie, but this Key-lime pie wasn’t that good… Should’ve stopped after the second bite). On plan perfectly all day yesterday… Hit every measure primed for dinner last night and then I ate dessert… Go figure … I know eating one dessert isn’t that big of a deal but I can tell how much it’s thrown me off kilter this morning. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - momentary tastebud pleasure is simply not worth it! Oh, did 500 jumps yesterday… & jogged 2 mi in 26 min. Proud of not pausing. Oh the mind games! I’ll set a 4 mile goal toward the end of next week… I won’t be too hard on myself. TBH, I’m pleased already. I know it’ll be fun!!

6/28 131.6 terrific Movement yesterday, but I did not even come close to 🥩! I was planning on protein for dinner but ended up vegetarian… Will pay the consequence today I’m sure (tummy issues) delicious grilled eggplant over spaghetti squash /fresh tomatoes & basil & cheese! ✅cals still 👍🏻 . Need to be careful today with the almost day-long funeral/celebration of life.🚶‍♀️💓🏋️‍♀️early!

NSV 3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ this mini challenge revealed to me a fresh new glimpse of LOUD NEGATIVE SELF-TALK! Every single day the mind games have been prevalent … excuses, excuses, excuses,! “Oh, you need a break, who is gonna know? Why 300 jumps you’ve already walked 5 miles… who’s gonna know? 50 minutes of 💓Z2… Do you really need 20 more ? 🥩? You’ve already had 100g 🥩… That’s enough! Those thoughts plague me often, but if I can push through with a little self discipline and get over the BS, I feel so much better…

20 - Newbie here! My 10 day goal is to have no more than 300 grams of sugar. I’ll post weight each morning with previous days sugar total.

21 - Declined dessert when out with friends whereas usually I’m the one who requests it. Another win is I ate consistently from MFP meal plan all day long so I didn’t get hungry and crave sugar as badly.

22 - thank you @quiltingjaine ! I hosted a party and had to make two desserts for the event. Win: I chose to eat more fruit and only half brownie for dessert. Overall, today felt harder to stay on track. More hungry but I didn’t eat my entire meal at lunch and felt my cravings increase (even tho I didn’t give into them.) Lesson learned.

23 - yesterday was a good day and I made healthy choices despite a full schedule. Meal prepping ahead of the week was a life saver for me.

24 - another longer than normal day but stayed decently on track with not overeating. This 10 day goal has been super helpful for me! Thanks ya”all!

25 - managed ok. Continuing to learn from my day to day eating trends. Specifically I am seeing how frequently and fully I eat a healthy meal affects my cravings. When I don’t eat consistently enough I start craving junk food for fast energy. Because of this 10 day group, gratefully i have been saying no, but some days are harder than others. Also noticing how lack of sleep and stress affect me the next day with stronger food cravings.

26 - @SModa61 . Gorgeous dress!!
the meal prep I did for the week was critical to my success. My life tends to get too busy and then I scramble and make poor choices. This is the first time I’ve prepped my meals for the week and it has really helped me feel like good choices were manageable.

27 ended up eating out all of yesterday. Made descent choices but certainly not as good as meal prep at home. The weekends and social activities seem to throw me off. I want to live balanced so I need to figure this out.

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE👍👍

SW Rnd 300 133.5

6/20 132.5 Haircut yesterday. “Swimming” w/DD#2, DSIL and DGGS. I didn’t feel hungry all day. I need that to stick around! I like @Skyleen75 300 seconds but as a couch potato extraordinaire I feel I have to up that to 300 minutes . Starting today water fitness M-W-F and gym or other home workout to make up minutes.

6/21 137.0 I am speechless! I ate 1 meal yesterday (at Golden Corral) but doubt that it was 5# worth! I did decide to have a glass wine before bed. I can’t remember the last time I had wine.

6/22 133.0 I wasn’t hungry yesterday (imagine THAT!) I ate one me made taco - my first corn tortilla in years! Only 1! A small glass of wine.

6/23 133.0 Ate beef brisket with minimal sauce. Thawed the rack of pork ribs from my freezer and put dry rub on them, wrapped and in the fridge to marinate. Today is my art quilt group so exercise will be later. I was looking forward to water fitness.

6/24 132.0 I’m such a slug! 0 exercise yesterday except walking. I have remembered that I have hand weights (1, 2, & 3#) from carpal tunnel surgery 30+ years ago. I can use those intentionally every evening! Edit: my plan didn’t exactly work out because my DVD player wouldn’t detect the disc. I tried several so ended up doing a short workout on my phone. So frustrating!

6/25 132.0 Terrible night with leg muscles cramping. Going to water fitness this morning. 🧁DGGS turned 3!

6/26 132.0 Yesterday was an excellent day. Today I’m making bread if my back holds out.

6/27 131.5 Water fitness, appointment at the bank, facial, hopefully a mani! Now into the kitchen to work on a loaf of sourdough. Real sourdough takes a loooong time!

6/28 133.0 Salt!!! Today is DGGS’s birthday party. Yesterday’s sourdough tastes great (very salty) but didn’t rise very well and to be honest, I was tired of waiting - over 24 hours since I started this project. I will try it again but not on a day we have multiple appointments!
