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 .

Hello! I’m Mary Beth | 63yo | retired choir teacher | Midwest USA | Celiac (diagnosed 2024, but struggled a long time) | Joined MFP 07.31.25 | Joined JGMTD 08.02.25 | HW 188.6
I spend my time enjoying:
- My husband, David 💕
- Our 5 grown kids—2 weddings soon! 👰🏼🤵
- Our 🐶(Jack) and 🐱(Sophie)—both rescues 🤩
- My handful of vocal/piano students. 🎤🎹🎭
- Reading (2 book clubs) 📚📚
- Knitting 🧶
- Cooking 🥘👩🏼🍳
- 55+ Adv Beginner Tap Class 💃
My goals:
- Make healthier GF choices 🥗
- Lose 30-40 lbs. 🎯
- Travel ✈️
- Increased mobility and less pain 💪
SW 188.6 Rnd 304 #1
7/30: Hadn’t joined MFP yet
7/31: 188.6 lbs—I basically started this date because I am one year into my Celiac diagnosis and I wanted something to track my nutrition. Wow! This app has changed from when I used it for free…a long time ago.
8/1: Hadn’t joined JGMTD yet
8/2: 186.1 lbs–I’m pretty jazzed. I stayed within my calories, I exercised yesterday, and I had so many calories leftover, I got to eat three GF Oreos! 🙌
8/3: 185.1 😳Kind of surprised, kind of not. I’ve never eaten this healthy before in my life. Had so many points left over, I had FOUR GF Oreos! But once those suckers are gone, they’re gone. My goal for the week was to lose 2 lbs. I guess we’ll see if I keep it off. Today I made Loopy Whisk Pancakes. NSV—I topped them with a fruit compote and did not slather them with butter. I LOVE sugar, so that was a win! 🏆
8/4: 185.9 I had less calories than yesterday, but I still weighed heavier. (Sigh) I know how this works though, so I’m not discouraged. Last night, I made a fancy meal: Jamaican Pork Tenderloin with Mango Chutney, served with Jamaican Rice & Peas and Corn on the Cob. It’s funny how losing a few pounds can make you feel so motivated to conquer the world. Exercise for me was working with my husband on emptying a storage unit. (We’re downsizing.) Today was a teaching day for my private students, so I am late on getting this posted.
8/5: 187.7 😩Again, I know how this works, but the roller coaster is frustrating. Yesterday, I used all of my calories. I think that’s okay. Today, I had my tap class, so that was my exercise. NSV—I used to get so exhausted during and following the class. Now, I’m feeling pretty good. I’m definitely building strength.

Round 304July 30 - 8 August 2025
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.
8/2 201.8 Packing for trip and plan a walk in great weather. So thankful for a break in heat for a few days.
8/3 201.8 Travel Day 🚙
8/4 201.8 We had a blast today riding the rails in a train cart and going to see a waterfall. WV has some beautiful spots to explore. We were so tired. I thought I posted last night but could not find it.
8/5 203 Woke to this but I can’t blame the scale. I ate horrible and even though I walked and hiked it was not enough. Today we went hiking and waterfall chasing. Great day! Then saw an outdoor show and it was cool enough for hoodie and a blanket. Love that!! @iLive2Walk I see you have a doodle. I have 3 dogs and one is doodle. They are so smart. 🤗

🎷 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 more 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.
8/2 DNW - 8.28 miles walked.
8/3 DNW - 7.47 miles walked, it was a long but satisfying day. Another long one today before we head home.
8/4 144 ☹ that’s all the carbs that I consumed over the weekend. Need to work hard to reduce this before it settles. We were allocated to the ball throw event yesterday that helped me clock up 6.12 miles, some of which were short bursts of running, lots of bending down picking up balls, measuring distances etc. so yes lots of activity, but all meals were carb heavy all weekend.
8/5 143.2 – looking better! 7.83 miles walked.
8/6 142.4 – 6.03 miles walked.

Pure force of will to try and get a downward trend going. Knowing that if I can get some momentum in the right direction that I can use it to make some real progress.One foot in front of the other, one decision at a time.

Aug 6: 139.1 18.8K 👣 🚶♀️➡️🫀🥊🥗⏱️📖We try to do a new walking/hiking trail every week. This week we tried the The Preserve, a 963 acre forest in three towns. The Oyster River, and the Mud and Trout Brook run through the park. These eventually flow into Long Island Sound. Supposedly the forests contain 25 species of amphibians and reptiles, 30 species of mammals, and 57 species of birds, including bobcats and fisher cats, but we didn't see any wildlife (beside some birds). We did see a HUGE bee hive, other than that it was mainly a nice hike in the woods.
It was good day nutrition wise, healthy choices and in my range. But the day ended poorly. Turned on the oven and went down to do some VR boxing while it heated up. Came back up to the kitchen full of smoke, smoke pouring out the back of the stove. My whole house stinks of soot. Just ordered a new one this morning and will pick it up later today.
Didn't get my fly lady zone cleaning done yesterday, and will be away tomorrow and Friday, so have a lot to do today to catch up. I finished reading Sunrise on the Reaping and need to start something new today. I am reading the Way of Kings series and would like to start that one, but need to borrow it from Allyson and won't see her for a week or two, so need to find something for the interim.
Here's some pictures from our hike.
@slstover35 Yes, Monty is a goldendoodle, smartest dog we have ever had, and my love!
@itladyee You probably won't see this before you go but hope you had/have a wonderful time away. Yes it was a quick five days vacation in Vermont for me - just the perfect amount of time for the homebody me!
@deepwoodslady I though about doing the same, but doesn't work for me either. We actually do that on Mondays because I am always rushing to get out the door for Bingo night with Mom - but it usually makes for bad choices when faced with all the bingo goodies on the table, and it ends in a Monday night binge eat when I get home. Good for you making something healthy instead of the snacks. With the toast and PB did you still crave the snacks and not give in, or did the cravings go away?

Two weeks from today we leave for Italy; between now and then my goal is to keep heading back downward and get my eating patterns consistent. I have a feeling that this "reset" is exactly what I need this year.

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.
8/1: 222.0
✏️🎯💓
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.
8/3” DNW
💓
There were scotcharoos.8/4: 226.2
Yesterday was a day of all talk and no action. House finally empty at 8:30 last night. Stomach far from empty. In fact, this weight this morning includes a crazy amount of “contents” if you know what I mean. It will take a couple days to re-center.Sorry about this whole scotcharoos thing. I feel like a pusher.
8/5: 223.0
✏️🎯💓
Whiplash.
Yesterday we were scheduled to watch 8yo DGS. It turned into watching 20mo DGD as well. While I love them both dearly, it was like being in a meat grinder. HA! In my retirement I gave grown accustomed to not being “on-point” all day long. DW and I were exhausted at day’s end. Today is an off day.Kudos to all parents (and grandparents) who devote every day to the health and wellbeing of their children.
8/6: 222.0
✏️🎯💓
Residual effect of my kryptonite is gone. Somehow my body engineered a loss even though I had DW’s delicious pesto pasta last night.Maybe beware today.
I really want to buckle down for the rest of this round. I might be taking the DGS to a friend’s pool late this morning, which will remind me of my imperfections.8/7

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? 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.
8/3 DNW Almost 🚫sleep last night as predictable since the Hospital project is on my mind again. I had a good day yesterday-but I ate TWO “scratch” cookies at my friends home. (spur of the moment visit w /friend with ALS that took up the entire afternoon- 3hrs in car). I was able to get in 🚶♀️💓10k 👣 WV walk. Focus on hydration &🏋️♀️💓⏱️ today. We enjoyed our flank steak & watermelon salad last night, but ate far too late! I hope everyone has a great Sunday! I’ve decided to not be obsess w/scale⚖️ at this juncture because I know I’m eating ok, but retaining cortisol, stress and not sleeping. I won’t see positive results while I’m in that zone. Will sweat, breathe, smile, stretch & 🙏 today!
8/4. I feel horrible because I just remembered all of you. This morning I forgot to ⚖️. That means I forgot me! That means I did not prioritize my health! Will shoot for a better day. 💪🏻(Hospital zone! 🚫!)
8/5 132.8lbs 🚶♀️💓👣🤸🏼💦 📖Huge nap mid-day. Feeling more myself. 🎾today. Increase 🥩
8/6 133.8 weight def. trending up. I’m not over-eating. However, I’ve been eating slightly larger portions, later than usual & I’ve refused to give up cottage cheese. I know that’s it! Cals avg 1400 - with my activity that should be fine, but go figure. It’s kinda sad experiencing a slow, weight gain without binging! Or even one scotcharoo!!! 🤣
🚶♀️💓👣⏱️🎾 😆📖
I read an interesting article yesterday on the benefits of walking. FWIW: This article sited many studies (well documented) stating that 👣7K steps is the 🎯. I will lower my goal to be 8k-10k per day & use that time for mobility/balance. 🤸🏼keeping Z2💓 60 min goal (oh yeah, and that darn 🏋️♀️keeps alluding me!). One hour of z2💓and 30 minutes of 🏋️♀️🤸🏼⏱️ should be a sweet spot for the next month - till 9/9. (and of course 🎾3x /wk - Hoping 132.x returns by the end of this round. 💦💦💦 💪🏻

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 )
8/2 – 129.6 I think the new batteries have settled in. :’(
8/3 – 130.2 Yesterday, there was no point in even attempting to track. Something I almost never say, even on a bad day.
8/4 – 130.0 Did weigh, missed posting.
8/5 – 129.2 tracking has been impossible. No idea how I did yesterday.
8/6 – 128.2 I am back home now. Yesterday was another untrackable day. Just wild as even when I have a day with a binge, I am still able to track, even including the binge. Haven’t had the TV on since Friday either as DD stopped all TV for her kids a month ago (the 2 year old was getting obsessed). Catching up on life today. PLUS I get to have my annual mammogram. :P Have not been reading posts. Are you surprised?? :P

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 with my food, 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.
8/3: 143.4. I did a long run in the morning (12 miles, my longest run ever!). It left me extra hungry for the rest of the day. Since we don't have much food in the house, I ordered food...too much of the wrong things. Today is grocery shopping day, so I'm going to try to stock up on some healthier options.
8/4: 144.3. Well, this isn't good, definitely the wrong direction. It wasn't a great weekend, food wise, but not 4 pounds worth. I'm starting to wonder if extra dairy makes me bloated. No real exercise yesterday.
8/5: 144.8. I don't know what's going on with the weight, especially after being so low last week. Maybe stress?
8/6: 144.6. I'm a bit frustrated, to be honest. I don't know why my weight is this high.
Today's going to be a busy day. My kids have physical and speech therapy this morning for 2 hours and then I have a 3 hour dentist appointment in a town an hour away (where my mom lives, so I can drop my kids off with her when I go to appointment). I'll be out of the house all day. I'm not sure what I'll do about food, but I'll try to make good choices. I've been super stressed about today and I'm looking forward to it being done.

I'm not entirely sure what's going on but I won't complain. At this point, I've gotten so accustomed to eating higher volume meals that I'm not sure I could handle an increase without eating processed junk! The one thing I'm glad for is that I'm actually finally hitting 100oz water daily because I'm so competitive that I need to count every point I can get. This round of Summer Shreds is quite fierce and I'm determined to finish with a good placement, even if it's not 1st place.3 -
SW Rnd 303 297.6 EW 296.5 (-1.1)
SW Rnd 304 296.57/30 - 296.1 nice to start with a drop, it's just a nice pick-me-up! But, us daily weighers know we had best not set whether a day is good or not by if there's a drop, or we'll drive ourselves crazy!
7/31 - 295.6 had a bit of a tough day and came home to a nice home cooked meal by my husband. It did include cookies at the end so I over-indulged on that meal but I'd left a lot of calories for the evening. Today is another day to keep working on things.
8/1 - 298
8/2 - 297.5 Had to go searching for how to stop the double spacing but figured it out! Like many the past few days, my huge fluctuation yesterday cannot represent actual gain. Good to see it starting to come down today already. My TOM is just around the bend and I will hold onto extra weight during that time for sure, like clockwork.
8/3 - 296.8 Husband and I had a super fun day yesterday doing an online scavenger hunt around our city. Weather was hot hot hot. We got a ton of steps. Going out on the boat today.
8/4 - 298.7 This is my normal TOM uptick but it never gets easier to accept. My brain always wants to panic. While today is a holiday in Canada, I work today. Just having my coffee before I head into the office!
8/5 - 299.4
8/6 - 300.11 -
8/4: 213.5 - Starting late as I didn't get a chance to record anything since the 30th. Would be awesome to end this round on the 9th at 210. The weight creeped on me and it took a while for me to even notice. I am starting a 6 week transformation plan today! I have started this 6 week plan multiple times and if I had just stuck to it the first time, I would have finished two rounds of it by now. Starting it now and going to keep on going. I am determined more than ever to transform my entire body and mind!
8/5: 213.5 - My day 2. Didn't expect it to move at all considering it's only been a day. I did manage to surpass my daily step goal yesterday! Although, I have to admit, it was mostly due to household chores like vacuuming, washing floors, and cutting the grass.
I've been thinking about getting a walking pad, but I'm hesitant it might just end up being another piece of unused workout equipment. I did get my morning exercise in, but unfortunately, I couldn't fit in my afternoon session due to a lot of things to do around the house.
Regarding my food, I tried to be very mindful and stick to my planned meals. However, two of the protein snacks I had planned didn't work out, so my food diary was a bit off since I chose different foods and didn't log them.
One thing I've definitely learned from trying this for so long is that no matter how well I plan my food or workouts, something always comes up that causes a change. I really need to learn how to adapt to unplanned circumstances rather than letting everything fall apart.8/6: 212.5 Again, only got in half of a workout and still over ate per what I had planned out. Just going to keep going!

@fermatamb7212 I love that you are taking a tap class!
@iLive2Walk The extra meal of peanut butter toast took care of it all. I was left needing no snacks though I must admit it was pretty close to bedtime. I essentially traded a meal for snacks. I don't eat PB often but find that it satisfies both my salty and my sweet cravings making it a good choice for me on occasion. It's nice that it has a little protein in it too. Between the protein and the fat, it is filling.
@Chapter_3 I eat cottage cheese several times per week. Usually when I need a side dish for dinner. Sometimes as a snack to up my protein for the day when needed. I always use full 4% fat as I Hate the taste of the lowfat stuff. Does it cause some bloating for me? yes I think so. So I don't abuse it. Also, it has a LOT of sodium in it, like most cheeses. With heart issues I do have to watch that. So I eat it more as a tool. Just like everything else, too much of a good thing is a bad thing so I don't abuse it, for sure.

It seemed like a good idea at the time but it backfired since I stay up pretty late at night in my retirement. I won’t make that mistake again. I ended up eating an extra small meal which was better than bingeing on snack after snack (my usual choice). Two slices of peanut butter toast later (low calorie/carb bread) and a large glass of water and I was okay. It managed to stay within macros by skipping some snacks. Still a drop on the scale today as I spent lots of time yesterday on yard work and gardening but I did skip my intentional exercise.

@deepwoodslady thanks for letting us know re: cottage cheese. I think there’s a couple folks on here that will benefit.
@Zaxa2021 I’ve noticed from a few gals who are runners that many times a lactic acid buildup can happen after a big run. Check it out. Don’t get discouraged - you’re doing great.

SW 188.6 Rnd 304 #1
7/30: Hadn’t joined MFP yet
7/31: 188.6 lbs—I basically started this date because I am one year into my Celiac diagnosis and I wanted something to track my nutrition. Wow! This app has changed from when I used it for free…a long time ago.
8/1: Hadn’t joined JGMTD yet
8/2: 186.1 lbs–I’m pretty jazzed. I stayed within my calories, I exercised yesterday, and I had so many calories leftover, I got to eat three GF Oreos! 🙌
8/3: 185.1 😳Kind of surprised, kind of not. I’ve never eaten this healthy before in my life. Had so many points left over, I had FOUR GF Oreos! But once those suckers are gone, they’re gone. My goal for the week was to lose 2 lbs. I guess we’ll see if I keep it off. Today I made Loopy Whisk Pancakes. NSV—I topped them with a fruit compote and did not slather them with butter. I LOVE sugar, so that was a win! 🏆
8/4: 185.9 I had less calories than yesterday, but I still weighed heavier. (Sigh) I know how this works though, so I’m not discouraged. Last night, I made a fancy meal: Jamaican Pork Tenderloin with Mango Chutney, served with Jamaican Rice & Peas and Corn on the Cob. It’s funny how losing a few pounds can make you feel so motivated to conquer the world. Exercise for me was working with my husband on emptying a storage unit. (We’re downsizing.) Today was a teaching day for my private students, so I am late on getting this posted.
8/5: 187.7 😩Again, I know how this works, but the roller coaster is frustrating. Yesterday, I used all of my calories. I think that’s okay. Today, I had my tap class, so that was my exercise. NSV—I used to get so exhausted during and following the class. Now, I’m feeling pretty good. I’m definitely building strength.
8/6: 186.8 😊Weight down this morning. Happy. No exercise today, so I’m 171 calories over. Very busy day. Went to Snooze with family for breakfast. Ordered GF Smashed Avocado Benny—no hashbrowns. (I ate half, and saved half for tomorrow.) Split a GF pancake with hubby. I figured out the nutrition, which was challenging. Bookclub tonight. 🤞for tomorrow

🎷 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.
Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, it’s taken me 75 rounds to achieve target of 130 = back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 135. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.
Updated 20.08.24 – I met up with youngest DB, first time after his DP passed away at the way too early age of 46. DB lives a long way from us, we see him very infrequently & is very introvert, so not a sharer of info 😞. However, he finally opened up to me, it seems that his DPs bad health leading to heart failure followed by kidney, liver failure & then a massive stroke, was originally caused by heavy drinking. By the time he realised he was abusing his body and went teetotal, the damage was too late to reverse. He was on the list for a heart transplant, but his other organs gave up before one became available.This has made me think about how I am abusing my body when I have binges with way too much sugar, fat & salt. I know I am a food addict. I'm going to try to think about this when I am tempted to overindulge, I need to start respecting my body more and think about whether I want to be in the best health I can be. My body has served me so well for 67 years, it deserves to be given the best chance to keep serving me well & I've been really lucky that life has not dealt me a raw health deal, so I must not jeopardize that luck.
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 more 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.
8/2 DNW - 8.28 miles walked.
8/3 DNW - 7.47 miles walked, it was a long but satisfying day. Another long one today before we head home.
8/4 144 ☹ that’s all the carbs that I consumed over the weekend. Need to work hard to reduce this before it settles. We were allocated to the ball throw event yesterday that helped me clock up 6.12 miles, some of which were short bursts of running, lots of bending down picking up balls, measuring distances etc. so yes lots of activity, but all meals were carb heavy all weekend.
8/5 143.2 – looking better! 7.83 miles walked.
8/6 142.4 – 6.03 miles walked.
8/7 143.2 – 8.59 miles walked.
8/8 Goal 140 pounds.

Round 304July 30 - 8 August 2025
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.
8/2 201.8 Packing for trip and plan a walk in great weather. So thankful for a break in heat for a few days.
8/3 201.8 Travel Day
8/4 201.8 We had a blast today riding the rails in a train cart and going to see a waterfall. WV has some beautiful spots to explore. We were so tired.
8/5 203 Woke to this but I can’t blame the scale. I ate horrible and even though I walked and hiked it was not enough. Today we went hiking and waterfall chasing. Great day! Then saw an outdoor show and it was cool enough for hoodie and a blanket. Love that!!
8/6 203.6 Today I got no exercise. Ok this is so hard on vacation. Not giving up though. I figure I will do better keeping up with it all than I would if I didn’t. Spent family time tonight and got to meet my baby cousin only 5 months. She is only 12 lbs and such a cutie. 🤱

@fermatamb7212 Your meal pictures are delightful! A reminder that I could be more purposeful with my plate.
My intake looks more like a slice of toast on a paper towel, cheese sliced off the block eaten with no plate, a banana while driving or spoonfuls of ricotta out of the container.

Feeling a bit of the early morning mojo to end this round with a win for a change. It’s so hard to pump the brakes and turn around the gain. It won’t happen unless I give it my all.
Have to walk the dogs and water the garden before my morning workout. How is it that I get up 4:30-5:30 every morning and yet I’m behind schedule by 6am every morning????

First time in forever that I didn't get in an outside walk. I did jump on the treadmill. Busy cleaning the kitchen/family room from top to bottom to get rid of the smoke smell. After taking apart the oven, found that mice had gotten inside, taken Monty's leftover dog kibble with them. The kibble must have caught on fire. Gross for sure! They said that they had an oven in stock at the store, but they really didn't. The new one will be delivered on Sunday. Also bought some ultrasonic rodent repellents, and Greg put out a bunch of mouse traps.
A good day on the nutrition front - grilled chicken sausage on the grill with grilled corn on the cob.
A planned overage today - going out for my birthday dinner. I'll be 65 on Friday! We are going to Hell's Kitchen. I know it is probably not as good as all the hype, but I want to try it once. Then spending the night at the casino before returning home Friday. My sister is watching Monty.

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 )
8/2 – 129.6 I think the new batteries have settled in. :’(
8/3 – 130.2 Yesterday, there was no point in even attempting to track. Something I almost never say, even on a bad day.
8/4 – 130.0 Did weigh, missed posting.
8/5 – 129.2 tracking has been impossible. No idea how I did yesterday.
8/6 – 128.2 I am back home now. Yesterday was another untrackable day. Just wild as even when I have a day with a binge, I am still able to track, even including the binge. Haven’t had the TV on since Friday either as DD stopped all TV for her kids a month ago (the 2 year old was getting obsessed). Catching up on life today. PLUS I get to have my annual mammogram. :P Have not been reading posts. Are you surprised?? :P
8/7 – 128.2 Yay! Not for the weight, but because yesterday was a properly tracked day and was on target.
8/8 -3
