****

SW Rnd 301 134.0

6/30 133.5 Headache, going to water fitness anyway

7/1 135.0??? Did water fitness, Walmart, nail appointment. Lots of movement - UGH! Going to lunch with neighbor today. I need to fast for a week!

7/2 133.0 lunch was canceled so I fasted until 3:30. Then had 2 small hotdogs with 1 oz cheddar, no bread. Weather is iffy today and tomorrow with high wind warnings and dust storm warnings. I’m drinking my version of BP coffee minus heavy cream. I have been adding waaaay too much of that to coffee - every cup instead of just the first cup. Today- zero cream, only 1T Mary Newport oil blend. The Weather Channel said thunderstorms at 7:30 and I just heard thunder at 7:20!

You rarely find it packaged in grocery stores, but if you go to the butcher's counter, they'll probably have some in the display case. If not, just ask the butcher for some. You can also find it, sometimes, pre-packaged in some Costco stores. It's hard to beat pork belly tacos! 😋

@judefit1 Many continued prayers for your brother.

@quiltingjaine The celebration ended up basically being for my son. He enjoyed! Sometime on or after July 11th when the Superman movie is released in theaters, I will take 2 DGS including birthday boy and my son out of town to movies. Also dinner will be part of DGS's celebration. I've been informed they want to go down to Saginaw MI so they can have Golden Corral. One is 6'6" and age 17. The birthday boy is 6'2" and 19 now. Watch out Golden Corral when we arrive! They can put away some serious food!

@lolakinks Hang in there. You are winning!

Day/Weight/Comment

ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 188.8

06/30-189.0 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 190.5)

07/01 – 188.8 ✅ (Trend Weight – 190.4) Well I was certainly hoping for a bigger drop than 0.2 but I guess slow progress is still progress. It was a very good dietary day filled with good choices and I worked out on the bike for 30 minutes (2 sessions of 15 minutes). Intentional exercise is something I really need to keep working in. Challenge 300 kind of got me off my butt a bit. Today is my son that lives at home and my first DGS’s birthdays. We will be going out to dinner out of town tonight. Dinner won’t be until about 7:30. I’ve been sticking to my guns and carefully choosing what I’m eating this afternoon. My son is turning 29 and my grandson 19.

🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️07/02- 190.0 ❌ (Trend Weight – 190.4) I actually didn’t do too bad during the out-to-dinner and out-of-town birthday celebration mainly held for my son who turned 29 yesterday. I didn’t do too badly at the restaurant but for the rest of the night at home….humph. To say I was like a pig in a pig’s trough wouldn’t be 100% accurate. More like a wild boar in a pig’s trough who hasn’t seen food in weeks! Anyway, I really blew it with my self-sabotage. I know that’s what it was because I continued eating even when I was so full it was trying to come back up! Disgusting, I know. That’s a true binge! I’m grateful the scale wasn’t higher. I’m already working on a much better and healthier day today which I hope will show up for me tomorrow. I'm always so disappointed in myself and my relationship with food during these times. It's a continual battle and sometimes I give in but I never give up!

07/03-xxxxx- (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

Thanks @RossC2025 but tbh I have gone up quickly recently and it’s been going down back again. Probably just water weight.

Measurable Daily Goals
🚶🏽- Closing my rings M-S Move = 700/Exercise = 45/Stand = 12)
🍎- Tracking/Under Calorie Budget (~ 1650 ~)
✅ - Macros - Protein (75g - 100g) Carbs < 75g * Ignoring macros this round, focusing on calories
🏋️‍♂️ - ST - Twice per week
💧- Water - 50 oz minimum
🚫 - No Wine
⬇️- Downward trend
🚶🏽🍎✅💧🚫⬇️
SW RND 3️⃣0️⃣1️⃣ ~ 231 Goal this round 227.6 or less than started, whichever comes first!

6/30 231.2
7/1 231 ~ New Month. Working to control the things that I can! Apple has a sense of humor. I closed all my rings 19 times last month. Guess what my monthly goal is for July, close all your rings 19 times! At least it's doable and somewhat motivating as I'm 6/6 on receiving the awards in 2025 and I want to be 12/12. I hope they don't give me something outrageous in the months to come. I was 9/12 in 2024 and 10/12 in 2023.
7/2 231 ~ yesterday was a work day, so nothing extra, did get my exercise in and my steps but fell a bit short on closing my rings….late post for today ~ it was a long day, had to drive down (90 min) to take my sister to an MRI. She’s still not aware of her diagnosis, just that they need some additional test. Still hoping to get to speak with the doctor before her next appointment next Tuesday. Somewhat of a stressful day and didn’t plan meals well. Did get on the treadmill this morning and I will close my rings. Tomorrow may just be a RTW day! Looking forward to a nice long walk tomorrow!

🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 301 (my 231st). 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".

6/29 DNW - 9.23 miles walked yesterday, it was supposed to be a rest day before DH ran the 25k run around Sheffield today! We walked to a local town for their Open Garden event & managed to get around 28 of the 30 gardens, but Wirksworth is built on a hill, so as well as the distance there were lots of statues and hill walking between the gardens!!

EW Rnd 300 139.6

SW End 301 139.6

6/30 DNW - 8.67 miles walked. DH did finish his 25k run, but really suffered over the last stretch, Sheffield is surrounded by 7 hills & the trail run was up and down these hills around the city, he could barely walk when he finished; the course is brutal! And it was hot! My miles were clocked up walking from the start across the city to meet him halfway with jelly babies & water and then back to see him finish, oh & did mention our DD did it too? So proud of them both. DH is suffering this morning.

7/1 DNW - a very gentle 8.85 miles walked yesterday all on the flat as a recovery for DH, he's more or less fully recovered today. Moving up to Harrogate today for the second part of our holiday.

7/2 DNW - 6.15 miles walked yesterday, more purposefully now DH is recovered. And what a change to the weather! Monday 30 degrees C, this morning 18, only 91 miles further north, that's British weather for you!!! 😁

7/3 DNW - 6.04 miles walked. Day started rainy, so we went to do the food shopping for the rest of the week & then drove an hour to Keighley to a NT property & bonus, it was lovely and sunny there👏.

I enjoy reading everyone’s posts with my coffee each morning.

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

Round 299 End Weight 176.8

6/30 178.2
7/01 DNW
7/02 DNW

7/03 178.4 Some how not too upset about this. I don’t love it but it’s just a number. I want to stay focused on keeping up with my workouts.

I am going to work on food decisions but on the whole that centers more around not binging. Making sure that I’m not eating to regulate emotions or anxiety. Only eating when I’m hungry. Stopping when I’m full.
It sounds so simple! Like, who keeps eating when it no longer tastes good and your belly hurts? ME!!!!!!!

I’m also going to enjoy the body I’m in and all it allows me to do!

@RossC2025 some good ideas there about logging. I don't lose weight at 2000 per day. I wish! Maybe has something to do with the kind of calories I eat.

Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 300
June 30 – July 9, 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.

SW: 130.2

6/30 – 130.4

7/1 – DNW

7/2 – 131.0 Is it possible I did not report in for TWO days. I knew I skipped the scale yesterday, and then did not post. I had no idea until this morning that I did not show up here on Monday as well. So I skipped two, but the good news is that I ONLY skipped two. The bad news is also that I skipped two. :P Going to sit here and pre-track my day. Gotta get myself in order. Was in a good place last week. I need to return. Happy July everyone – only a day late!

7/3 – 128.8 Yesterday, was thoughtful. The only negative for the day was that I splurged on a cappuccino at the restaurant last night, and forgot to say decaf. Had a great evening until I could….not….fall….asleep, and I remembered I forgot to say decaf. Not sure how many hours of sleep I got last night, but certainly not what one wants. I wonder if I am going to get hit with withdrawls today. Otherwise, today should be good. :)

@itladyee So sorry to hear of your sister's health. Reading your most recent post, you mention she is not aware of her diagnosis. Did I read that right? That must be do difficult!

@deepwoodslady @Skyleen75 My troubles this past week with the 4 lb swing all related to various binge behaviors, and not even all the same trigger. argh! It is so fascinating how there are those of us with this pattern. I do own "Brain over Binge", but have yet to read it.

@judefit1 I'm sorry to hear your brother's cancer has returned.

Male: 67
6’-2”
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. 🎯
-Exercise minimum 20 minutes. More if possible.💓

Round 301 Posts
This is my posting format….
Month/Day: Scale Reading first thing today before getting dressed. / Goals met ✏️🎯💓/ Comment

6/29/25 : 224.4 SW before.

6/30: 223.4
✏️🎯💓
Happy to be starting a new ten days. These will be my last ten days before my birthday, when I will be firmly ensconced in the upper 60’s. (yes I know, I am already in my upper 60’s)

This round will have Independence Day along with traditional get-togethers. DD and her boyfriend will join us for a couple days so our whole family will be together for some parade, cookout and fireworks. My grands LOVE their aunt and “uncle” from out of town.

Without the goals above yesterday, my calories would be in a galaxy far far away, and I would have just stayed inside without getting a nice long walk done.

7/1: 223.0
✏️🎯💓
I could get into this downward trend.

Another hot day yesterday. Spent most of it with DGS. Some of that was reading at the public pool along with DW while he frolicked around making new friends and using the water slides.

Another walk before dark saved the day. I LOVE the long days of summer. I capped the day with a game of Gin Rummy with DW where she came from WAY behind to beat me. We just score wins and not all the other fluff that true Gin players do. I am ahead for 2025, 12 games to 11.

7/2: 223.4
✏️🎯💓
Started up a small group bible study yesterday. It will go for 6 weeks with a couple week break in the middle. Good friends. Of course I brought Dunkin Munchkins and ate about 8 of them myself. I didn’t know they were 55-60 calories a pop, and I forgot to log them until this morning. I wondered how my CI could be so low yet I add almost half a pound. Mis-logging, that’s how. Thankfully I was still on target.

One of my problems is mis-logging. Either I totally forget something, or I tell myself a little white-lie about the probable calorie count or quantity, or I just don’t know the actual quantity. (I don’t want a food scale on the counter) It might be helpful to log as I go without saving the reckoning until the end of the day.

7/3: 223.0
✏️💓
Missed the target by a bunch. Total weakness yet the scale did not tattle on me. Probably a penalty tomorrow. I should control myself today since Friday will be a food fest.

I will have something removed by my dermatologist today. Not enough to show up on the scale tomorrow. HA!

How many calories does MFP suggest that you consume? Are you following their suggestion? Best bet is to always see what works, and change course when things aren't working. Sooooo many factors in the weight-loss equation, and many times, there are factors that we don't know about (or just can't figure-out). Keep changing things up until you find what works.

6/30 Had to weigh even tho up @ 3 :30. No TMI x3 days… terrific day yesterday! But, I am tired this morning. Dragging. I truly wish I could sleep at least one more hour /90 more minutes… simply must figure out this sleep thing. Pleased I participated in the #3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣mini challenge and completed it… I learned more about my thought patterns. A Successful “Celebrate with action” ten whole days. Looking forward to this round - with better sleep . (Manifest!) ONWARD!

7/1 peculiar day. I knew I was overly tired. Went back to bed at 11AM and slept for 2 1/2 hours! Foggy the rest of the day, but I feel great today! 🎾+🚶‍♀️💓⏱️🏋️‍♀️

7/2 130.0?! I actually stood on the scale five times and it said 129.8 and finally the sixth time it said 130.0 which I sincerely don’t believe any of that… The unexpected ⬇️ is just as unwelcomed as the unexpected ⬆️? Did a good night sleep for two days FINALLY allow my body rest and relax to let go and do its thing?!? Is this a real whoosh or just a tease? I’ll keep it up though. I had to push myself to register 10k steps and 300 jumps yesterday because after two hours of 🎾 I just did not want to… Felt accomplished after… Did not 🏋️‍♀️yesterday. Will do today. ONWARD!

My dream: to simply not ever care on any one given day what the scale reads … To not let it impact my day one iota. To know in my soul “I’m good”. 😊

7/3 130.4. We ate late last night. Only 90 g 🥩. No 🏆The 130.x seems real- a “win” by keeping consistent. And…. Water intake has been 💯& I’m sleeping better so hypothesizing that my body is releasing cortisol - not holding on to stress and finally headed toward enjoying a balance of mind/body/soul. Sleeping well supports good decision making. Pushing towards 70 min of Z2💓 and 300 jumps each day has many psychological benefits for me… Simply pushing myself a little more builds self- discipline & confidence. Only did 10min of 🏋️‍♀️yesterday will do more today. Why do I push back on that? I am AVOIDING the most important activity!!!! However, I had an awesome “mobility“ training set that I truly enjoyed. Slow walk this morning in prep for the 🇺🇸4 on the 4th tomorrow. (The humidity is so, so bad right now🥵) … Our goal will be around 60 minutes… I’m not sure if Tucker can make it so we’ll walk jog walk jog…. My hubby is leaving for one week today. (One of his brothers recently lost his wife and so the brothers are getting together in Colorado to camp/hike & bike…(ages 72, 70, 67 & 62) I’m VERY fortunate to be married to a man who prioritizes his health. I will miss him big time! But also an extended opportunity to focus on me!! 💪🏻

My weight has been going the wrong direction since about the beginning of May. It's time to refocus.

6/30: 146.2. Yesterday, I did about an hour walk on the treadmill and a 30 minute walk outside in the evening. I started the day tracking food, but didn't keep at it all day. Today's goal is to track everything, do a treadmill run, and a walk outside.

7/1: 146.2. Tracked all food yesterday and went for a walk outside. I did not get to the gym to run though. Same goals for today: track, walk and run.

7/2: 144.4. Goodbye to some excess water weight (finally). Yesterday was a good day, as far as eating. I logged everything and was under my goal. I went for a walk, but wasn't able to get to the gym to run since my husband worked late and I had to stay home with our kids. I'm really hoping I can go tonight.

7/3: 145.3. I had pasta for dinner last night. Pasta always makes me hold onto some water weight. I stayed in calorie goal. I ran 4 miles on the treadmill (finally got to the gym!) and went for 2 walks.

@RossC2025 Yes, the one time I went to Costco with a friend was when I saw and bought pork belly! I guess I need to find a butcher here! I’m not a fan of shopping of any type. And the drivers here are lunatics! Thank you!

Round (301) my 2nd

SW: 216

6/30 - 214

7/03 - 214.5 - Reality Check & Reset

I started being more mindful of my eating today turns out I snack WAY more than I realized. I updated my MFP diary to track snacks as their own meal so I can plan ahead (it’s open if you want to peek 👀).

I also tried to finalize a weekly workout plan. The original wasn’t challenging enough, but balancing workouts with work/life is... a puzzle. 😅

I looked into the GLP-1 pill and took before photos like they asked and wow. Seeing them was rough 😔. I didn’t go any further with the form. It kind of crushed me. But weirdly, that wave of emotion pushed me to work out so maybe that’s a small win. It was definitely an eye opener and it's pushing me to keep going.

Still struggling with adding photos to MFP and IG. I need a little time to accept what the mirror shows vs. how I feel I look. It’s hard knowing I was so close to my goals before Covid… and let it all slip. But this time, I’m not quitting.

Happy to be back to tracking and getting this weight off. I have a long way to go to get to my goal of 140 pounds, but I am in it this time. Locked in on making good choices, sticking to my plans, and staying committed. I would like to get to 195 pounds by the end of this round. I believe I can do it with just one meal a day (OMAD).

6/30: 201.6

7/3 Note: Not sure what happened but I know the dailies fluctuate. Yesterday for my one meal I had my one meal which consisted of Salad/homemade cheesesteak wrap/keto chow shake. During my fasting window I had plain water and water with electrolytes.

@deepwoodslady Donna, you said exactly what was going through my mind - WATCH OUT GOLDEN CORRAL!

Yesterday we went to “Windy City Beefs and Pizza” and our large friend was having a sugar low. He ate at least 3/4 of an 18” pizza! I don’t know that that was a wise choice but I admit that I’m not an authority. He’s on Trulicity and a couple of oral diabetes meds but says he isn’t diabetic. His favorite place to eat is Golden Corral! He actually suggested that he and DH go there today!

My food diary settings are 1) Breakfast, 2) Mid-morning Snack, 3) Lunch, 4) Mid-afternoon Snack, 5) Supper, and 6) Miscellaneous. Sensible snacks help me avoid any hunger issues.

Most large grocery store chains have their own butchers, in-store, and if let them know what you want, they'll get it for you. I used to have them save the large cow leg bones for my dogs. They didn't mind, as it was one less thing to have to throw away.
