    I’m Amanda, 5’2”, 40F, in Appalachian Virginia (US)

    NSG (tracked for prior day)

    🏃🏻‍♀️ movement - 7/10 days 

    🚫 no alcohol - 7/10 days

    SW Rnd 307- 130.8

    RGW: 129.2

    8/29 - 130.8 🏃🏻‍♀️ After my spiel about alcohol yesterday I drank probably half a bottle of wine last night with dinner (troublesome when I use it in a recipe and cook with wine in 2 ways) and I couldn’t sleep until 2am. This morning I subbed as a paraprofessional for a nonverbal autistic 3 year old (I am not trained to do this AT ALL) and I am just completely wiped. Going to try to do my assigned run this afternoon but also not going to stress about it. Very glad tomorrow is a rest day. I think we’re going hiking but at least that’s easy at our family pace.

    8/30 - 130.4 🏃🏻‍♀️🚫 I made amazing homemade pizzas last night! Certainly not diet food but my family absolutely raved. My 6yo said it was the best food he’d had in his life. I squeezed a treadmill run in yesterday afternoon while the 4yo had a friend over. Slightly interrupted by rattling and whining but better than nothing. I had a good NSV last night: we had friends over that DH and I consider our drinking buddies and I fully abstained from drinking. I had a hop water, an NA beer, and a seltzer instead while we chatted by the fire. Zero fun lost and zero sleep lost!

    8/31 - 132.2 🏃🏻‍♀️🚫 Two restaurant meals yesterday on our family adventure. We had so much fun in a WV state park. We did a 3-mile hike around a lake. 4yo was whiny but the 6yo loved it! Today I have to do a super hard interval run and I’ll probably walk the dogs and do chores. My kids want a true “stay-home day” so it will be quiet. Happy Sunday!

    Day/Weight/Comment

    ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 185.6

    08/29-183.2 ✅ (Trend Weight: 185.1)

    08/30-182.2 ✅ (Trend Weight – 184.8) A nice little drop after finally getting some potty resolution. My calories have been a bit low the last couple of days. I need to make sure I get closer to goal today. I had to use the heat in the house the last couple of nights. Days have been low 70’s and nights have been low 40’s with frost warnings last night. Tonight’s temp is expected to be 40 degrees. Yikes, in August? Hello heat bills.

    ⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️08/31-181.8 ✅ (Trend Weight: 184.5) The month of August ends today and looking at my monthly challenges that I am involved in, I have lost a total of 7.0 lbs this month. It’s been a wildly swinging up & down month so I’m pretty proud of where it has landed. Now, to hang on! September will bring on many challenges for me. Labor Day (food holiday), a family birthday bash and at least one day of travel every single week. I do a lot of travel, (mostly medical travel) in the fall to avoid the icy roads in the months following. Those travel days usually take me most of the week to work back down so those are definitely a challenge within a challenge. However, I feel strong moving into September. I like it when I have my head on straight. It’s not always the case.

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 307 (my 237th).

    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 (again) this round is to have a totally 10-day binge free round.

    Sooooh, 9 days we fly out for our annual holiday; in that time, I should be able to lose 2 pounds, so that is my personal challenge, I want to be in the 140's by then. I can do it if I use my will power.

    I need to remain consistent - it does work! I aim to lose 2 pounds. Good luck for success everyone.

    5'3, 36 yo, SAHM to 3 year old twins with disabilities. Life is hard right now, but I'm doing what I can to take care of myself as well as everyone else.

    Mini goal: 140
    Ultimate goal: 130

    Rnd 301 Ending Weight: 144.2
    Rnd 302 Ending Weight: 145.3
    Rnd 303 Ending Weight: 143.3
    Rnd 304 Ending Weight: 144.3
    Rnd 305 Ending Weight: 141.0
    Rnd 306 Ending Weight: 141.1

    8/29: 142.3. Not sure why the upswing today, other than just the normal fluctuations. Eating was decent, ran just 3 miles on the treadmill.

    8/30: 144.4. I'm not surprised at the jump. I did some carb loading yesterday to prepare for a long run I'm going to do this morning. I'm going to attempt a 12 mile run again.

    Yesterday was a rest day from running, and I also didn't have time for my morning walk. My steps were only about 4,000 by evening, so I walked on the treadmill to get 10,000.

    8/31: 143.6. I'm happy to say I completed 12 miles running on the treadmill yesterday. It was a pretty good run, completely opposite of when I attempted it last week. Focusing on proper fueling has made a world of difference! I'm still trying to find a balance so I can also drop a few pounds. I'm just going to do what I can, and appreciate my body for being able to do these long runs.

    I went grocery shopping yesterday and stocked up on healthy food. Today I'm going to do a bunch of cooking for the week. I'm planning on a good week.

    9/1: 143.6. Up early this morning due to some sick kids. I hope it passes quickly.

    I got a lot done yesterday, including a bunch of meal prep. The fridge is full of healthy options now. I also did an easy 3 mile recovery run on the treadmill. However, I ended the day with a few beers, so not a perfect day.

    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 306 End Weight 175.4

    8/29 176.2
    8/30 176.0
    8/31 176.0

    9/01 176.0 I guess I’m just hanging out here until I whoosh. DH was called into work yesterday, making electricity is a 24hr/365 day job. I’m used to it.

    Honestly, I enjoyed having the whole day to play in my garden dividing and rearranging plants. I made myself pancakes for dinner and stayed up late reading, snuggling little dogs.

    No formal workout today. I need to focus on eating a bit lighter today. I’ve had two good rounds and I want to make it three. Which means ending under 175. Goal is under 170 for October!

    Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 307
    August 29 – Sept 7, 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 of 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress gain)
    SW MFP Jan 1, 2023  – 146.6

    GW Maintaining between 124 – 126 

    SW: 126.2

    8/29 – 127.4 solidly confused. Yesterday’s scale fight made no sense, and it returned again this morning. Not fighting with it. Will continue as is and see what the number is when I can next weigh on my home scale (same brand, same model and they always align) next Wednesday. Yesterday was slightly over target, but again in maintenance range. So a notable gain is not in the cards. There was a lot of salt yesterday, including fully tracked restaurant dining in the evening. Dining out again today. The ride continues…..

    8/30 – 126.6 confused in a different way. Last night was another night out and I actually ordered an entrée (was fabulous!). I expected a possible up, not a drop. Next few days are normal life, so hopefully I will figure out where I am at.

    9/31 – 125.8 I have forgiven my Maine scale for making me crazy. Last saw this number briefly Feb, 2024. Going to get some activity today. Still TBD, but will be something!

    9/1 – 126.2 Made it to Planet Fitness yesterday, but I just did treadmill for an hour. Not exciting or great, but I did something. Believe it or not, my muscles are not fully pleased today. Kind of sad that just walking would do that. Calories were very good. Under target number AND did not eat back any exercise.

    FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all the posts.

    I’m Amanda, 5’2”, 40F, in Appalachian Virginia (US)

    NSG (tracked for prior day)

    🏃🏻‍♀️ movement - 7/10 days 

    🚫 no alcohol - 7/10 days

    SW Rnd 307- 130.8

    RGW: 129.2


    8/29 - 130.8 🏃🏻‍♀️ After my spiel about alcohol yesterday I drank probably half a bottle of wine last night with dinner (troublesome when I use it in a recipe and cook with wine in 2 ways) and I couldn’t sleep until 2am. This morning I subbed as a paraprofessional for a nonverbal autistic 3 year old (I am not trained to do this AT ALL) and I am just completely wiped. Going to try to do my assigned run this afternoon but also not going to stress about it. Very glad tomorrow is a rest day. I think we’re going hiking but at least that’s easy at our family pace.


    8/30 - 130.4 🏃🏻‍♀️🚫 I made amazing homemade pizzas last night! Certainly not diet food but my family absolutely raved. My 6yo said it was the best food he’d had in his life. I squeezed a treadmill run in yesterday afternoon while the 4yo had a friend over. Slightly interrupted by rattling and whining but better than nothing. I had a good NSV last night: we had friends over that DH and I consider our drinking buddies and I fully abstained from drinking. I had a hop water, an NA beer, and a seltzer instead while we chatted by the fire. Zero fun lost and zero sleep lost!


    8/31 - 132.2 🏃🏻‍♀️🚫 Two restaurant meals yesterday on our family adventure. We had so much fun in a WV state park. We did a 3-mile hike around a lake. 4yo was whiny but the 6yo loved it! Today I have to do a super hard interval run and I’ll probably walk the dogs and do chores. My kids want a true “stay-home day” so it will be quiet. Happy Sunday!


    9/1 - 132.0🏃🏻‍♀️🚫 Not happy with this number but mostly I’m grumpy that I seem to have injured my hip. Googling makes me suspect bursitis. I read the risk factors for bursitis from over-use: middle-aged, female, perimenopause, and overpronation. The only one of those I can fix is overpronation with new shoes. My shoes are nearly a year old and running shoe cushions don’t work great for more than 6 months. I also may try to mix up my cardio more. I was casually training for a half marathon next month just for something to work toward but I’d never registered for it. I think I’ll just do a better mix of things. Peloton offers a suggested workout each day of the week so my plan is to follow those for a while. After some rest.

    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

    Daily Goals (4) for this round:
    -✏️ Log Food.
    -☣️ No Ultra Processed Food (UPF).
    -🎯 Meet CI/CO target, net 1500. (revision: CO reduced by UPF CI)
    -💓 Exercise minimum 20 minutes. More if possible.

    8/28/25 : 220.0 SW the day before.

    8/29: 222.2
    ✏️
    Yesterday was a day of reckless abandonment. I lived my life like someone else was in charge of my physical wellbeing. I logged it all and it reads like an episode of “Dateline.” I can hear the grey haired Keith Morrison saying, “he SAID he was interested in taking care of his body,…. but what really happened on that beautiful afternoon on August 28th of 2025?”
    Whenever DW and I have a friendly argument, one of us might say “You better call Dateline.”

    8/30: 221.0
    ✏️☣️🎯💓
    Mediocre day. Met all my goals with flying shades of grey, rather than “with flying colors” My exercise class met for the monthly lunch at the Pizza Ranch, where we undo all we have done. I managed my food for the rest of the day to meet goals.

    8/31: 221.8
    ✏️🎯💓
    Did not meet my UPF yesterday. I had a hotdog bun, some crackers and a Fannie May butter cream candy. Also, some adult beverages. For the indiscretions above, my food log holds the following:

    I did hit the net cal target, but I need to find a way to eliminate allowing CO to zero out UPF style CI.

    Today is an eating day with friends and relatives. DW is making peach pie. It will be tough to find exercise time.

    9/1: 223.0
    ✏️

    My only goal-met yesterday was logging (✏️). I also technically met the target (🎯) under my former rules, which include eating back some exercise calories. I am amending my rules to say that UPF (☣️) Calories-In are deducted from exercise (💓) Calories-Out.

    BOOM! Actions have consequences! Truth! The message I am sending myself is that there is no exercise-based recovery from Ultra-Processed-Food.

    It is now September! Trip coming up mid-month after my High School 50 year reunion. Two things to inspire me right now.

    8/30 134.0 🏆🎾🚶‍♀️💗Z2

    Tired, bloated, constipated, cortisol, lactic acid. Checking journals and nothing is off except sleep and anxiety (hospital project) Am I  “doing” too much? Will focus on hydration & REST today. 

    8/31 134.0 🚶‍♀️💗Z2 👣 14k🏋️‍♀️📖. woke up at 1:30 AM and fell back to sleep around 4:30 up @ 6am . Going against my usual DNW when sleep sucks but I wanted to see how bad it was. My systems are all screwed up. I had a perfect fuel day till @ 7PM - enjoyed Oikos high protein plain yogurt with a few blueberries & raspberries berries and a date. It was so good! Went over calories by 383 into “maintenance” territory, but of course that’s probably my “gain” territory… DH has been gone since Thursday afternoon and will return Monday night. 5 mi WV 🚶‍♀️yesterday. However, after a quick visit for baby snuggles & Tucker hugs, I worked on the hospital project the rest of the day preparing for the 9/9 meeting. I also watched the U.S. 🎾Open most of the day while writing… &🏋️‍♀️(I had ample opportunity).  Today, I’m ready for food as fuel and 🏆🚶‍♀️💗🏋️‍♀️⏱️📖💪🏻! Closed all rings (only missing 6/31 days in August). 

    Proud of that and 80% success rate! 

    BUT- if I get really tired today, (Im in ZOMBIE🧟 land - could make ZOMBIE 🧟‍♂️ decisions when sleep deprived.) Reviewing August: seems as though I go pedal to the metal for 4 to 6 days & then need a “do nothing” re-charge day…Let’s see if I can incorporate some self-discipline and make good choices running on empty.  🤗#HSF #MindBodySoul 

    9/1 133.0 🏆🤸🏼🚶‍♀️💗👣📖 That scale is something else! No nap. Organized and watched 🎾 and a little bit of🏋️‍♀️. 3mi walk. 1:1 Pg:Eg , will do the same today with more 🏋️‍♀️. Planning to cook a little this evening-a favorite chicken dish. Hubby gets home late tonight. 💪🏻#HSF

    September is a great month for me- looking forward to health & REWARDS. 

    NSV: This 🧟 Zombie made good choices & decisions yesterday.

    Day/Weight/Comment

    ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 185.6

    08/29-183.2 ✅ (Trend Weight: 185.1)

    08/30-182.2 ✅ (Trend Weight – 184.8)

    08/31-181.8 ✅ (Trend Weight: 184.5) The month of August ends today and looking at my monthly challenges that I am involved in, I have lost a total of 7.0 lbs this month. It’s been a wildly swinging up & down month so I’m pretty proud of where it has landed. Now, to hang on! September will bring on many challenges for me. Labor Day (food holiday), a family birthday bash and at least one day of travel every single week. I do a lot of travel, (mostly medical travel) in the fall to avoid the icy roads in the months following. Those travel days usually take me most of the week to work back down so those are definitely a challenge within a challenge. However, I feel strong moving into September. I like it when I have my head on straight. It’s not always the case.

    ⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️09/01-185.0 ❌ (Trend Weight: 184.6) This is what it looks like when I fill with water. I stuck to my meals well yesterday but did have dessert at a friend’s house with DD and DGS. I was unable to take my prescribed water pill the past couple of days. This week will be hit & miss. I’m not even sure if it’s fair to weigh and if the numbers will do more harm mentally than good. Especially when it continues that I can’t take the medication. Tomorrow’s weight would be after the holiday BBQ today away from home. Wednesday I travel several hours each way for a medical appointment on my eyes so Thursday will be skewed. Friday is “no weigh day”, especially with school back in session for DGS. So Saturday would be first day that weight has a chance to slightly level though it could still possibly be somewhat elevated if one day of recovery is not enough. I will play it by ear and see how my curiosity gets to me. This much back-to-back-to-back-to-back change is definitely cramping my style and my routine. It feels like such a wasted week and opportunity to see where I’m really at. I’ve no choice but to push through and do What I can, When I can. Right now from this angle it looks like another month of chasing my tail. In August I finally caught it in the very last week, only to start on that low for this month. Ugh! @pezhed , speaking of ups & downs, here I go again!

    JGMTD Rnd 307 (#4 for me)

    63yo | 5’3” | ret choir teach | MW USA | Celiac | MFP 07.31.25 | HW 191.1

    Spend my time enjoying: DH 💕| 5 adult kids—2 weddings soon! 👰🏼🤵| 🐶Jack & 🐱Sophie | My 6 vocal/piano students 🎤🎹🎭| Reading (2 book clubs) 📚📚| Knitting 🧶| Cooking 🥘👩🏼‍🍳| 50+ Tap Class 💃

    My goals: Healthy GF 🥗| 5 fruits & veggies/day | UGW 160 🎯 | ✈️🌎| +mobility/-pain 💪

    Rnd 304 | SW: 188.6 | EW: 185.1 (-3.6)

    Rnd 305 | SW: 184.9 | EW: 182.9 (-2.0)

    Rnd 306 | SW: 183.1 | EWG: 180.6 (-2.5)

    Rnd 307 | SW: 182.1 | EWG: 178.6 🎯

    8/29: 182.1 🥺I’m +2.1 from the end of Rnd 306, and I knew that was going to happen after having lunch at our local Asian restaurant. I ordered Lettuce Wraps because I thought they would be light. 🤣Of course, I also got to have Crab Rangoon, bc this restaurant actually has the GF. Then we came home and I had nothing to make for dinner with the wedding weekend beginning today. So I ate my lunch leftovers for dinner. Double whammy! 

    8/30: 183.1 182.1 🤨I expected this and almost didn’t weigh. However, I’m glad I did so that I keep this in mind at the wedding today. Last night was food that we normally don’t eat: BBQ brisket, pulled pork, baked beans, cheesy potatoes…ugh! (No bun since they didn’t have GF.) When I started entering the food in MFP on the way home, I understood why we always eat chicken or fish! I mean, 190 cal for a thin slice of brisket!!! 😳I only had one drink, so that’s cool. In the past, I would have had 2-3 total. Also, not much water since a bathroom was not always handy. After the wedding today, I think we’ll need a week of salads to recover from this. 😭

    8/31: 182.4 😊Not bad after two days of wedding stuff. I also corrected my weight from yesterday. That was the biggest surprise of all. Anyway, the wedding is OVER!🎉Worrying about what dress, what hairstyle, and whatever else was plaguing my insecurities. It’s over! I’m happy and I feel good about how everything turned out. I chose the dress that won by a landslide from everyone’s votes from here and the few other people I entrusted with my photos. So thank you all for your input. I’m posting the finished product of me with DH. He was too nervous to even think about taking a pic of just me. 🤣

    9/1: 182.3 🤨Calories were right on the line, but I also had a drink when we went out. I’m sure I’m retaining water and stuff from the wedding weekend. I’m not panicking…yet. I really have some steady goals, so I hope we get this worked out.

    @deepwoodslady Thank you!

    @pezhed Sorry about your hip injury. I think I’ve recovered from mine. That just really slows down the weight-loss momentum. Also, thanks for the compliment. I felt really good in what I was wearing. There was moderate amount of fun…for such a stressful event.

    🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 307 (my 237th).

    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 (again) this round is to have a totally 10-day binge free round.

    Sooooh, 9 days we fly out for our annual holiday; in that time, I should be able to lose 2 pounds, so that is my personal challenge, I want to be in the 140's by then. I can do it if I use my will power.

    I need to remain consistent - it does work! I aim to lose 2 pounds. Good luck for success everyone.
