8/8:7/31: closing out August on a good note food and exercise-wise. Heading to DSIL's house today to help her with "stuff"; it will be the first time we're there without DB#2, which will be very strange for me. But it'll be good- many wonderful memories and, hopefully, much more time together there…

@stephanj THANK YOU! I like the letter idea. You really got me thinking... I wonder what MY body would say to me in a letter. Maybe something along the lines of "Hello? Are you really going to eat all of that? Really? Again? Hello are you listening? I have been trying to get your attention through photos of me and how my clothes fit. You are not in your 20's anymore you know. The furnace does not need all that fuel anymore. Make amends with action!!"
This rant is not aimed at anyone but me. Thank goodness by body does not have its own Facebook account.

Month/Day: Scale Reading first thing today before getting dressed. / Goals met ✏️🎯💓/ Comment7/29/25 : 224.4 SW before.
7/30: 221.6 !
✏️🎯💓
This will be a short lived scale reading. Too much of a drop for one day. My calories were low yesterday but they included 500 calories worth Kirkland Super Extra-Large Peanuts. I love those things.Regarding this group, I like how it is more than just us weight-tracking for ten days. We all have a somewhat unique quirk we are working on. The quirks are a combination of weight, strength, BF%, mobility, alcohol, macros, logging, exercise, breaking habits. I am learning from you all.
7/31: 221.0
✏️🎯💓
Even with another period of weakness right before bed, it dropped some more. I craved salty. I need way more protein too.Hopefully the grass will dry enough to mow it today. Humidity and rain ruling the days.

Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 304
July 30 – August 8, 202563 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 – 146.6GW 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: 129.0
7/30 – 130.0 I missed posting this day, but I did weigh and as the scale shows, I was out of line.
7/31 – 129.4 Yesterday was spot on. It is now 4 PM on the 31st, and all is well. Will I make it through the whole day. I am somewhat irritated with myself as I have been repeatedly sabotaging myself as I get closer to the wedding. I need to knock it off!!!!
8/1 – 127.4 I’m so confused…… Yes, yesterday was a second day on target, but such a drop is not logical. Conclusion is that some numbers, the highs or lows are misleading. While yes, I am back up in Maine. I headed up the evening of the 30th, which was a crazy day and why I missed posting. If you recall last round I was up here and questioning my scale due to some low numbers, and wondering if it needed new batteries. Well yesterday, I got a “LO” on my scale, so yes batteries were an issue, so I figured the 129.4 was accurate. Now today, with new batteries, I have a low number. I need to work to keep it!Today, DD, SIL, DGS’s #1 and #2, and their two cats, are joining DH, myself and our two cats, in our two bedroom condo for a vacay. Condo is going to get small fast, and food is going to be challenging, but we are making memories! (to recap – 4 adults, 2 little kids, and 4 cats, who don’t all get along…..:P )

@Deviette A number of us have a travel scale. I love mine. It goes in my carry on, in my bag for driving trips and is even handing when hubby is in the bathroom and I need to weigh before I have my coffee. :) On our scotland trip, two years ago, I got to check-in every day.
@musicsax Thank for sharing about your brother's DP, and how you are now reflecting on your own choices. I need to do the same. Have a wonderful weekend volunteering. It is amazing what can be done medically these days. So glad Leo received that transplant and is doing so well 5 years later.
@Skyleen75 I got eyebrows done (been a year), and pedicure (likely 2-3 year) two weeks ago. Just scheduled a facial for the week after next.
@Chapter_3 <3 the photo. Also, which weighed vest did you buy. That is on my to-do list.
@_JeffreyD_ I love hot peanuts (spicy not warm). So risky for me to have in the home.
@quiltingjaine Photos, or it didn't happen!! :P Enjoy!

I’ve missed a few rounds. I’m on the tail end of recovering from hernia repair surgery and I had lost my umph .. if you know what I mean . When you can’t lift ( no more than a tea kettle) and includes cardio it’s hard to stay on track . Good news is I was able to maintain my weight loss of 110 lbs and I’m ready to get back at it . Weight lifting restrictions ends on aug 7 but this week allowed small increments cardio and small weights .

5'3, 36 yo, SAHM to 3 year old twins.
Mini goal: 140
Ultimate goal: 130Rnd 301 Ending Weight: 144.2
Rnd 302 Ending Weight: 145.3
Rnd 303 Ending Weight: 143.37/30: 142.9. It seems like my weight is actually starting to come down, after far too long being stuck around 144-145. I'm very excited about that.
Food was decent yesterday, although I didn't track again. I went for a walk, but took a rest day from running.
I've been toying with the idea of running a half marathon for a while, and I finally made the plunge and signed up for one at the end of October. I would really like to be a lot closer to my goal weight by then, so it's time to really get serious. I have just under 90 days, so plenty of time to lose a few pounds.
7/31: 143.4. Food was on track, I didn't have time for a walk, but did a 4 mile run.
8/1: 140.8. I'm so happy to see a swoosh. I took something to help with the constipation issues I periodically have, which I'm sure is a big contributing factor. Food was good, I went for a walk, but had to skip the gym because my husband worked late.

Yet another family stressor. How is a girl supposed to keep her cortisol low? Proud I managed to grab a roast chicken and salad for dinner and squeeze 15 minutes of a workout in yesterday.
@Chapter_3 love the idea of self-integrity! Lets take care of ourselves!

7/30- 166.47/31- 166.28/01- 168.4 - Uptick due to a lack of water (oops) and eating out. Fam wanted to see Stepson one more time before he left and they were in my town for Goddaughter's cheer practice. While eating dinner, we coordinated for the boys to go golfing (well, the driving range since Godson is 7 and just learning so he isn't playing yet) and us girls can hang out. We'll eat dinner at their place tonight. Yesterday and today I've kept my day relatively light in terms of calories/macros so I had enough buffer to account for an unknown dinner. Thankfully I had planned out meals in accordance with MacroFactor lower calories and I'm relatively adjusted to those so I'm not absolutely ravenous trying to keep a larger-than-normal buffer for dinner.2 -
@Shetlandmama Welcome back!
@musicsax I well remember Leo's transplant. I'm so happy to see him thriving and looking happy. May God always shine down upon Leo His Greatest Blessings!

07/30-186.2 ❌ (Trend Weight: 188.0)
07/31 – 188.8 ❌ (Trend Weight – 188.1) And THIS is why I like my magic 7. I’m very disappointed in this but I know I didn’t eat 10,000 calories yesterday, which is what it would take for this to be real fat gain, so I’ll be okay. I will spend the next couple of days getting this back to normal, whatever normal is, of course but I know it involves a 7 or less.
⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️08/01-187.6 ✅ (Trend Weight: 188.0) That 1.2 lb loss today is exactly equal to the mean and nasty (and uncalled for) fluctuations I had at the end of July. Now I need to work off that travel weight from the other day which is 2.6 lbs. This is just another squiggle on the graph of my journey. Nothing more, nothing less. I got this! I’m not getting cocky, I’m just staying positive. Let’s have a great August, my friends. It’s ours for the taking!

SW Rnd 304
7/30 203.6 Today went by so fast. I did get my walk after dinner and it was super humid. I convinced my husband to walk with me tonight. I have to start cleaning the house and getting backed to go to the mountains next week. Going to go chase some waterfalls. 🌄
7/31 202.5 Today I was gone all day so I didn’t have the chance to go for a walk for work out. Its amazing how you miss it when you don’t go, plus I was so tired all day. I did my hair highlighted and blown out and it was so relaxing. I almost fell asleep on her. 💆♀️
8/1. 202.6 I have not felt the best today. 🤢 I pushed to get that 30 minute walk in tonight. Thankfully is was much cooler. Trying to pack for a trip tomorrow but wishing I had more energy. I went over on tracking tonight by a little and still feel full. 🤯

🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 304 (my 234th).
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
- an additional goal for me this round is to have a totally 10 day binge free round.
I need to remain consistent - it does work! I aim to lose a pound this round. Good luck for success everyone.
I am the driver in my life & not the passenger, I need to drive my life to a healthy life."Health is wealth".7/29 142.8 – 8 miles walked. Didn’t achieve my goal this round; I’ll carry it forward to the next round.
EW Rnd 303 142.8
SW Rnd 304 142.8
7/30 142.8 (trend 142.3) 5.73 miles walked before meeting up with DSs for lunch.
7/31 142 (trend 142) 11.22. miles walked. Might struggle to get my miles in today as there is a very busy day ahead, manicure, volunteering, supermarket shopping.
8/1 141.8 (TREND 142.2) No structured walking. Later this afternoon we travel down to Oxford for the British Transplant Games; DGS (& his brother as they include siblings) will be taking part in some events, DH & myself are volunteering. The games take part over the same weekend every year & it is always a most poignant time for us because it is exactly 5 years today that little Leo received his very precious gift of a new liver that saved his 6 month old life – some of you may remember that extremely anxious time as he very bravely fought. As a family we continually to be ever thankful to the donor & their family & really hope that they take some comfort from the thought that a part of their loved one still lives on 5 years after their loss.

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 and walking my very mad spaniel. I have Crohn's disease and am currently flaring which mean I'm struggling with fatigue and nausea. I weigh wearing clothes so my actual weight fluctuates a lot, but I'm more concerned about trend.
SW: 81.2kg (May 27th) GW: 70kg UGW: 62kg
Previous Rounds (TW):
299: SW: 80.4kg EW: 80.4kg (+/-0kg)
300: SW: 80.4kg EW: 80.8kg (+0.4kg) (Travelling so estimated)
301: SW: 80.8kg EW: 81.3kg (+0.5kg) (Travelling so some is estimated)
302: SW: 81.3kg EW: 80.9kg (-0.4kg)
303: SW: 80.9kg EW: 80.9kg (+/-0kg)
304: SW: 80.9kg EW: XXXkg (+/-XXXkg)My round goals:
Weigh every day
In bed by 10:30pm
Maintaining is good enough
Knee exercises daily
Alcohol free
Track Crohn's symptoms7/30 - 81.3 - I definitely wrote out a whole post yesterday, but I must have never submitted it 🙄
7/31 - 81.1 - I dunno, yesterday was fine I guess. I ended up snacking on chocolate in the evening which wasn't good. I ate a lot of veggies with dinner which is good, but I felt uncomfortably full afterwards and conked out at like 8:30pm and then woke up stupidly early this morning
8/1 - 81.1
8/2 - 81.1 - Again, behave? Crashed out yesterday after overdoing it. I guess that's what I get for doing loads of chores in the morning and then have a 4 hour safeguarding course in the afternoon (judo coaching license). Didn't do my knee exercises but got all my other goals done. Going to be another busy day today so I'm going to take it easier this morning.

08/01 179.008/02 180.2 My calories were low but eaten very late. Workouts were on point. After bootcamp I went to the garage for total body strength with my ride or dies.
This is my group of women who I workout with where I’m the baby at 48. The majority are 65-75. But these women are serious exercise lovers. My goodness do we laugh and incorporate play. Yesterday we all tried to hula hoop while balancing on a Bosu.
Today will be out on the boat for Horse Power on the Hudson. Fun but not very active. I’m going to try to squeeze in getting to body combat this morning. It all depends on when we have to shove off to get to the races. And when our house guests arrive.
I am going to get my butt outside to play in my garden for a bit. There will be Bloody Mary’s to be had and I’m sure we’ll be docking for a late lunch.
My struggles with my weight are real but geez they sure are FUN!!!4 -
I’ve missed a few rounds. I’m on the tail end of recovering from hernia repair surgery and I had lost my umph .. if you know what I mean . When you can’t lift ( no more than a tea kettle) and includes cardio it’s hard to stay on track . Good news is I was able to maintain my weight loss of 110 lbs and I’m ready to get back at it . Weight lifting restrictions ends on aug 7 but this week allowed small increments cardio and small weights .

7/30 ⚖️ 132.8lbs. Solid day. 🎾2 hrs. 👣8k 🤸🏼🏋️♀️⏱️📖💦. Heat wiped me out. Nutrition off, but not awful. (🚫protein goals) Will simplify my posting this round. Tracking all measures - will relay highlights here. Long-term goal: ⬇️BF %! Let’s do this! 💪🏻 Remembering my WHY!7/31 132.0lbs Yesterday was a perfect day! 🏆💓🚶♀️👣🤸🏼⏱️🏋️♀️💦 📖 Love the weighted vest (WV) cuzz it gets me to 💓Z2 & 60 +- mins super efficiently first thing in the morning. Then work in 🤸🏼🏋️♀️⏱️ 📖the rest of the day. I am grateful. I look good. I’m healthy. It’s so easy to just forget about everything else on the movement to do “list”… Progress not perfection. I do have to keep reminding myself that every action item is important. I don’t have to do every single one every day, but if I get the majority done, it’s a win! No shortcuts. “Mother-time” will definitely catch-up with me if I don’t keep moving. It’s so easy to give in. I have to constantly remind myself to keep on. It’s NOT a habit. Note: I ALWAYS feel better when I fully ✅ every “to do”. Most of all, it’s definitely time for some more joy & smiles throughout my day as I’m activating #HSF …
NSV: 800 jumps yesterday @ local Rec gym w / darling Tucker. I took him to shoot a few hoops in the A/C gym and brought my jump rope… We had a great time.
Epiphany: The most important gift to me: under promise & over deliver. TRUST. 🙏
8/1 DNW Ate much too late last night including dessert! Even though I rationally realize that I could not have gained ACTIAL weight from yesterday’s intake- I still didn’t want to experience the scale fluctuation, so I did not weigh! 🚶♀️40 min 👣 8k 🤸🏼🏋️♀️💦.
Just played 3hrs 🎾tennis & the heat did me in! Will hydrate & relax the remainder of the day. 3hrs of 🎾only 8k 👣no energy for more (as of this moment). Feeling mentally strong, grateful and present.
8/2 136.0 😬
🎾💓👣🤸🏼💦 📖
This is why I don’t weigh when I eat out late. No TMI for days & bloated. So let’s evaluate briefly.
Four pounds? HUH
2x late out restaurant food. Grilled Caesar with tuna w/ just a wee bit of pasta and I mean a wee bit! High-protein lunch (50g) & under 500 cal… right after 🎾. Tennis court for three hours. Go figure.
Oh, cottage cheese the last two days - guessing that’s “me and dairy” again. Breaking that habit will be very, very tough. Or restaurant food with unknown hidden ingredients/chemicals? Something in restaurant food does NOT agree with me (seed oils? Preservatives?) I eat clean, simple ingredients the vast majority of all meals and then two days restaurant food… ?) Hmmm…
Keep the faith, Carolyn and keep with your plan! Clean, clean, clean. And, I love clean! Flank steak w/ watermelon salad tonight.
Headed out for WV walk & jumps.

5'3, 36 yo, SAHM to 3 year old twins.
Mini goal: 140
Ultimate goal: 130Rnd 301 Ending Weight: 144.2
Rnd 302 Ending Weight: 145.3
Rnd 303 Ending Weight: 143.37/30: 142.9. It seems like my weight is actually starting to come down, after far too long being stuck around 144-145. I'm very excited about that.
Food was decent yesterday, although I didn't track again. I went for a walk, but took a rest day from running.
I've been toying with the idea of running a half marathon for a while, and I finally made the plunge and signed up for one at the end of October. I would really like to be a lot closer to my goal weight by then, so it's time to really get serious. I have just under 90 days, so plenty of time to lose a few pounds.
7/31: 143.4. Food was on track, I didn't have time for a walk, but did a 4 mile run.
8/1: 140.8. I'm so happy to see a swoosh. I took something to help with the constipation issues I periodically have, which I'm sure is a big contributing factor. Food was good, I went for a walk, but had to skip the gym because my husband worked late.
8/2 141.4. I didn't track food, so I don't know for sure where I landed, but I think it was a good food day. I managed to squeeze in a short walk before it got too hot. And I skipped the gym because I am planning a long run this morning and wanted fresh legs for it.

I bought this jump rope about a year and a half ago and it sat there until recently. Started reading more and more of benefits. This is the jump rope that was recommended to me by a friend. There are less costly ones out there and I’m sure do just the same. It’s a “weighted” jump rope.

This will be a short lived scale reading. Too much of a drop for one day. My calories were low yesterday but they included 500 calories worth Kirkland Super Extra-Large Peanuts. I love those things.Regarding this group, I like how it is more than just us weight-tracking for ten days. We all have a somewhat unique quirk we are working on. The quirks are a combination of weight, strength, BF%, mobility, alcohol, macros, logging, exercise, breaking habits. I am learning from you all.
7/31: 221.0

Even with another period of weakness right before bed, it dropped some more. I craved salty. I need way more protein too.Hopefully the grass will dry enough to mow it today. Humidity and rain ruling the days.

This is an expected course correction. Viva la fluctuation.8/2: DNW
✏️💓
Scale is in the guest bathroom, and we have company. DW sister and husband here for a family reunion. Just as well; I ate out for two meals yesterday, both of which were too-much-quantity and very salty. This will make a dent in my Ten-Day average. My body spent all night writing a letter to me.So, there is a family reunion picnic tonight. I wish I was more of an extrovert so I could spend more time blabbing and less time eating. My thought bubble will say “just one more thing from the potluck buffet….” Heaven forbid that there are scotcharoos.
