Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 307
Sept 8 -17, 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

8/8 – 126.2 I got through yesterday well. Was a very mixed day. It started with family visiting my mom so she could finally see DGS2 for his second birthday. She was totally blank. I have never seen her like this, to this extreme. So, the family together was fun, but mom’s condition/behavior was stressful. We’ll see what today brings.

8/9 – 126.6 regarding the scale, the day ended poorly. I was wondering overnight whether it is easier for me to NOT start vs STOP once a binge has begun. Just something for me to contemplate. As for my mom, yesterday was as if Sunday never happened. She seems to know nothing about it and is acting “normal” (she is roughly stage 5 for “normal” reference). She apparently claims to not remember any of us visiting, and it was 7 of us for about an hour and a half. I would love to understand the “why”.

8/10 – 127.2 yesterday, calories were good/fine. Maybe this was delayed results from the previous day. Was with mom again, and yesterday was like Sunday. Her healthcare provider is going to check her today, but zoom medical with her psychologist (for dementia) agreed that we may just be seeing a stress reaction to change (new bed and new aid added to her team).

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

I need to STAY ENGAGED because I’m the DRIVER not the passenger in this life.

[Spoiler] In Round 179 on 3/6/2022, I hit my “never going over” weight of 120. I honestly don’t know what was going on then but by the end of 2022 my husband had had both shoulders replaced, I’d had a big blow up with our older daughter, and he had been elected to our HOA board. All major stressors. and I started gaining. I need to get a firmer grip on my eating and hope and pray that he will “let go” of the board when his term is up in November. [/Spoiler]

SW Rnd 308 130.0

9/8 128.0 I think this is the result of sleeping 11 hours after finally going to the Urgent Care yesterday and getting on some meds for this whatever it is we all had to some degree after our trip to Hawaii. I hope I feel better every day.

9/9 128.0 I felt pretty good yesterday but had Carl take me to my mani appt. He wanted to try a different Walmart for decongestant - they were out also. It seems lots of people have this “bug”

9/10 128.5 Routine doctor visit this morning

SW Rnd 306 299.2 EW 297.2 (-2)
SW Rnd 307 297.2 EW 296.7 (-0.5)
Net loss to date after five rounds: 0.9

SW Rnd 308 296.7 GW for round 294.8 (same goal as my last few rounds) GW to end 2025: 284.7

9/8: 298.2 - Mondays are my recovery from my weekend. However, I did come home and get a lot of chores done, so I'd say I was more productive than usual.
9/9: 297.6 - Looked back on my weight to start this year and then again when I moved here in May and my weight was up 5 pounds before I moved and another 5 now. Disappointed but there's still time to get back to my start weight for the year at least. So, I've added that to my declarations.
9/10: 297.3 - Husband made us a beautiful dinner last night. He also ensured we had veggies as part of the meal. Busy at work right now.

~~9/08~~ - 170.4

~~9/09~~ - 168.4

~~9/10~~ - 167.9 - TOM finally showed up. I'm going to guess that's a big reason for this drop. I did indulge in some dessert that went over macros (and calories) a tad bit. I'm assuming this is still a deficit despite my reduced activity so not too worried. If not, I was definitely around maintenance, not a surplus. I slept extra this morning and did my 30 minute walk while listening in to our department's town hall just a bit ago. Tomorrow I'm aiming to get back to the gym for another low body workout and I'll find time to sneak in a slightly shorter walk (replacing my dog walks). Overall feeling good.

deepwoodslady · September 10

@_JeffreyD_ I'm so sorry for you loss of Poppy, your dear beloved pet of so many years. Thank you for giving Poppy the warm and loving life and home that they had for so many years. Thank you for doing what would give them eternal peace and ease their pain when the time came.

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

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 | EW: 180.6 (-2.5)

Rnd 307 | SW: 182.1 | EW: 181.9 (-0.2)

Rnd 308 | SW: 182.6 | EWG: 180.0 🎯

9/8: 182.2 🤨+0.3 from Rnd 307 EW | NSV: Went on a 1.8mi walk this morning. It felt good. Full day of lessons today. I will be wiped this evening. Planning on a strawberry-spinach salad for dinner…with chicken, of course—so I’m not so hungry after dinner! Hardest goal so far is NOT eating after 8 pm!!! Any tips? Anyone care to share your best tip for curbing that monster? I am literally hungry—not just bored. I’m busy doing things with my hands and keeping my mind busy.

9/9: 180.4 😊-1.8 Okay, I’ll take it, but not counting on it to last. NSV: I closed my rings yesterday and had 621 calories remaining. However, I also have calorie adjustment ON??? I had no idea that I had it on or that it even was a thing. After reading about it, I think I shall leave it alone. Salad was tasty last night, and I made sure to have 6 oz chicken to stave off hunger. It worked!

9/10: 181.2 😏I’m up from yesterday but still below SW for this Rnd. Pretty jazzed about dinner last night. I made Risotto for the first time! In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever tasted it. The whole meal was a-mazing! Tonight is music bingo at a local brewery for a Meetup. I’m excited to go have fun but nervous about what to order. I’ve been studying the menu. Not only do I want low-cal, I also need GF. Ugh! 🤞

Day/Weight/Comment

ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND: 182.6

09/08-183.6 ❌ (Trend Weight – 184.6)

09/09 – DNW 〰️ (Trend Weight – DNW) No weight while at hotel and traveling. Just got home at almost 9:00 pm. Tired as heck but wanted to pop in to keep caught up on posts. All went very well with Mammogram and Oncology appts. I receive “immediate results” due to the length/distance of my travel to the appointments.

🐝🐝🐝🐝 09/10-185.7 ❌ (Trend Weight: 184.7) I honestly expected worse so I’ll take it! Some of this is likely some fluid buildup too from so many hours of sitting in the car. I hope to shed the fluid over the next couple of days and see where I’m at. I do expect that I will slide up & down the 180’s for awhile, just as I did the 190’s and the 200’s. It doesn’t come off and stay off that easily at my age! Persistence does eventually pay off though.

09/11-xxxxx (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

09/12-xxxxx (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

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

Hi, I'm Charissa.

Round 3️⃣0️⃣8️⃣ @musicsax 🙌🙌🙌🙌. Thank you for hosting and keeping us accountable.

🎉🪅10 More Days….Yes WE can!!!🎈🥳

✅ Show up/post daily
✅ Stay consistent/Don't change the goal
✅ Push through the hard moments **
✅ Make progress—physically, mentally, emotionally.
✅ Start the momentum
🔥 Round 3️⃣0️⃣8️⃣🔥

The change:

Plan 3 meals a day with snacks
Stay in calorie range
Eat when hungry

I am comfortable with the change. I got a little sloppy towards the end of the 10 days and the calories started to creep on the high side, but still within range. This round, focus on the low end of the range.

#KeepShowingUp #ProgressNotPerfection #KeepMovingForward #FueledByVanity

I like that I copy this info every 10 days, which forces me to read it again and hopefully reinforce it!!

My goals are SMART - just not including all the details here:
Goal#1 - Calories - 1650. **Eat well 🥗to Live Well ?✈️🚢💼
Goal#2 - Wine/Alcohol Reduction - 85% Dry 🚫🍷Alcohol slows fat loss! Body burns alcohol b4 fat.
Goal #3 - Water - Min 50 ounces - Max 100 (only if consumed before 6pm) 💦 Hydrate to Elevate
Goal #4 - Exercise - 6 days/week (Cardio, Core, Stretching, ST) ~ 🚶🏾‍♀️‍➡️🏋🏾‍♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
Goal #5 - Self Care (Reading, Journaling, Learning, Pampering)📖✍🏾🛁Restore. Reflect. Rise.
Goal #6 - Organization and Declutter (Finish unpacking) 📦Sort. Donate. Simplify.

9/10 DNW I’m assuming I’m doing ok without really knowing. Pants still fit! Getting plenty of walking. Eating is a bit all over the place because I eat what’s here at the cabin, limited choices. Definitely a lot of processed food but in small servings. I did manage to get salad on the dinner menu the last two days, so that is a win. Even if dinner is hot dogs or frozen pizza 🤣🤣🤣 with a salad! I love my dear aunt but her menu is one of a midwestern woman who does not cook.

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, will be difficult with hotel food all round!

Soooh, in 5 hours we fly out for our annual holiday; in that time I want to eat at maintanence & not overindulge, but I am on holiday so will relax a tad, I can do it if I use my will power.

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".

9/7 141.6 – (trend 141.8) 11.64 miles walked. Can’t say that I’m not disappointed with this number especially after Friday’s goal weight being achieved, I was under calories yesterday, but over on carbs, I’ll blame the pizza for tea. Oh well, it is what it is!

EW Rnd 307 141.6

SW Rnd 308 141.6 (yesterday's end of round number)

SW Rnd 308

9/8 DNW - up at 1.30 am to travel to airport, good food yesterday.

9/9 DNW - kept as much on track as possible. Buffet food at the hotel & all inclusive, kept portion control and made sensible choices, but so tempting! One adult beverage on arrival & one with dinner.

9/ 10 DNW - 7.98 mile walked.

9/11 DNW - 8.34 miles walked, still exercising portion control & sensible choices, 2 adult beverages. It is so relaxed here, first time for many years we have actually lay on the beach for a couple of hours and swam in the sea which is so warm & clear, wonderful to see all the fish big & small swimming!

SW 214 Round 308 (1)

9/8 - 214 - I just signed up for Caroline Girvan's new Iron series on her app and it officially starts today. I have done some of her Iron workouts on YouTube (free) and over the weekend, I saw a FB post about her new next level Iron series that starts today and just the idea of starting something, anything with other people makes me feel a little bit more motivated. Starting today, I am going to stick to a new plan and see it out for the next ten weeks. It is fitting that this round also started today. The Universe is telling me that today is the day, lol! About to go start Iron, day 1, now.

9/9 - 211 - Looks like I lost the water weight from eating some non-healthy food on Saturday. I did my first Iron Pro workout yesterday. Even though there were a LOT of lunges, it wasn't too bad because this series has a longer rest period between sets which I found very helpful. Because of that, I was able to complete all of the sets. I have upped my daily step goal to 7,000 each day but it has been very rainy here for the past couple of days that I haven't been able to get in a long walk. I did take a short walk yesterday in the rain while waiting for my daughter's bus so that helped me get to 5,500 steps for the day. I didn't eat over my planned macros either so I say my first day was a successful one!

9/10 - 210.5 - Half a pound down, I'll take that, lol! Even with more rain yesterday, I was able to meet my step goal of 7,500! I might have even gone over but once I hit my goal, I take my watch off (it's usually the evening anyhow) just because it's so heavy and bulky and I really don't care about wearing it. It does help keep me on track with my steps and helps if and when my daughter contacts me because I am usually not on my phone for most of the day. I also completed day 2 of Iron Pro! Just have to keep going!! Happy Wednesday!!

9/11 - 210.5 - I had a lot of work yesterday and wasn't able to come close to my step count but that's okay, I did stick to my nutrition plan and got my third workout in. Iron Pro day 3 was much harder than I thought it was going to be! It was more lunges and at this point, my toes hurt from doing them, lol! It felt like a very LONG 30 mins! Today is supposed to be a rest day per the Iron Calendar so I think I will just do some random exercises from some IG posts I've saved.

@Zaxa2021 Awesome try at doing the OMAD option! I know that I couldn't do that, I don't even think I could try that so way to go for trying! I tried to fast once before and only made it through a month. The pros didn't out way the cons for me so I didn't continue it. What works for some, doesn't work for everyone. It takes a lot of trial and error to see what works for you. Keep going, you got this!

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
Rnd 307 Ending Weight: 145.0

9/8: 145.4. No explanation for another increase. Food was within goals, 4 mile treadmill run.

9/9: 146.2. ?? TOM is coming up soon, so that may be making me a bit bloated. No TMI for a few days. But I don't know. Seems like weight is just ballooning out of control. I really haven't been eating crazy. Hopefully it'll go down just as quick when my body is ready.

I've decided I'm going to try OMAD for a while. See if just a change in my patterns will force a bit of a good change on the scale.

9/10: 144.4. I wasn't very successful at OMAD yesterday. I kept taking bites of random food whenever I was in the kitchen without even thinking about it. I'm going to keep trying though. I need to work on self control around food.

Long outdoor walk and 4 mile treadmill run.

9/11: 144.0. I did a lot better with OMAD yesterday. It still wasn't perfect, but I had a lot more self control. It is helping with awareness of what I am popping into my mouth. I'm doing fine hunger-wise.

PMS got to me a bit yesterday, so I skipped running. I did a long walk in the morning though.

@ReignFromAshes thanks for the encouragement. My main goal is to stop all of the extra snacking by setting some hard boundaries for myself. We'll see if it works.

Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 308
Sept 8 -17, 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

8/8 – 126.2 I got through yesterday well. Was a very mixed day. It started with family visiting my mom so she could finally see DGS2 for his second birthday. She was totally blank. I have never seen her like this, to this extreme. So, the family together was fun, but mom’s condition/behavior was stressful. We’ll see what today brings.

8/9 – 126.6 regarding the scale, the day ended poorly. I was wondering overnight whether it is easier for me to NOT start vs STOP once a binge has begun. Just something for me to contemplate. As for my mom, yesterday was as if Sunday never happened. She seems to know nothing about it and is acting “normal” (she is roughly stage 5 for “normal” reference). She apparently claims to not remember any of us visiting, and it was 7 of us for about an hour and a half. I would love to understand the “why”.

8/10 – 127.2 yesterday, calories were good/fine. Maybe this was delayed results from the previous day. Was with mom again, and yesterday was like Sunday. Her healthcare provider is going to check her today, but zoom medical with her psychologist (for dementia) agreed that we may just be seeing a stress reaction to change (new bed and new aid added to her team).

8/11 – 125.6 good day all around. Back into maintenance range. Got 5 out of 10 days in round 307.

I screwed up. I thought today was the last day of R#307. I will catch up tomorrow. #HSF #MindBodySoul Let’s do this!!💪🏻

(THE City Council Meeting is tomorrow eve)! I’ve got tomorrow covered.

9/9 132.4 🏆🎾🚶‍♀️💗👣🤸🏼Tossed & turned all night. Of course. I’m too groggy to figure out today but I WILL fuel my body & move. Full court press today -for tonight’s meeting. - I’m keeping up pretty well. I need to 💦🏋️‍♀️. My two ✅ non-negotiables today.#HSF #MindBodySoul.

NSV: I’m in a MUCH better place (head) than I was 2 yrs or even 6mos ago. I’ve learned NEW habit formation for me is REALLY harder than I ever imagined. I have some new habits that I’m extra proud of (💦📖👣🚶‍♀️💗& 🥩P:E) but ohhhh soooo far to go. Some old /current habits (like self-talk) are still forever-present & destructive. Quick to realize but always there. Must be thankful for the awareness so I at least can change directions.

9/10 132.4 🏆🚶‍♀️💗👣🤸🏼 We lost. No regrets only sorrow for my town. I will need a few days to get through this… But I’m ready to embrace a ANOTHER new chapter and move on. Very proud of the consistency on this #HSF journey during this emotional time - at least this morning anyway. Maybe I have indeed created a few dependable healthy habits. Counting my blessings. Onward!

Round 308 8-17 September 2025

Please join us starting on 8/19 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 308

Anyone can join us at any time during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful, we can do this, you can do this.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. You have only one hour to edit your post. Post every day to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non-scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share. Make the board your own - track what is important for YOUR JOURNEY.

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.

SW Rnd 308 296.7 GW for round 294.8 (same goal as my last few rounds)

GW to end 2025: 284.7

9/8: 298.2 - Mondays are my recovery from my weekend. However, I did come home and get a lot of chores done, so I'd say I was more productive than usual.
9/9: 297.6 - Looked back on my weight to start this year and then again when I moved here in May and my weight was up 5 pounds before I moved and another 5 now. Disappointed but there's still time to get back to my start weight for the year at least. So, I've added that to my declarations.
9/10: 297.3 - Husband made us a beautiful dinner last night. He also ensured we had veggies as part of the meal. Busy at work right now.
9/11: 295.8 - Got a big smile on my face today. Feeling fairly in control. Hoping I can build on this momentum. My goal weight for this round is feeling achievable!

@_JeffreyD_ I'm so sorry about sweet Poppy!

~~9/08~~ - 170.4

~~9/09~~ - 168.4

~~9/10~~ - 167.9 - TOM

~~9/11~~ - 167.9 - I'm okay with no change, its better than an increase. BF was able to sleep in this morning so I decided to forego the gym so Whiskey (the puppy) wouldn't have the chance to disrupt his sleep. I have to work tomorrow so I have to wake up anyway and I can go knock out a lower body before work. BF was thankful that I postponed. He might be upset tomorrow if Whiskey wakes him up early but he also knows that I'm trying to make his life easier by only hitting the gym twice this week and staying home to allow him to have uninterrupted sleep to walk the other 3 days. He wants to get back into the gym next week so hopefully there won't be any more shifts like this week. I did do some bodyweight squats while I waited for my bread to toast and I'll be doing my walk during a meeting here in about 9 minutes (: Food is good - I do need to figure out another small snack but I'm not too worried about that. Water is good and I have hope!

Missed the UPF goal with a Klondike Bar. I defrosted the Freezer downstairs and found that delightful little square of ultra-processed-ness. Reason? I may have done some emotional eating yesterday. We took our 15 year old Poppy into the vet for a final goodbye. Yes, I cried like a baby. (my eyes are leaking right now) The hard part was watching my DW’s emotional response after holding Poppy in the final moments. She and Poppy “had a thing.”

Not a lot of discipline, but ounces keep coming off so far this round. This will not be sustainable with this week’s festivities.

DW and I will staff one of the ticket booths tonight, selling ride tickets for the carnival. This is one of our Rotary service projects. I am always amazed how much money gets shoved at me through that teller window in exchange for a few moments of fun. We all like to see our children smile and laugh.

Chasing my tail. I did not log anything, but I suspect I met my target.

Tonight is the first night of 50th reunion festivities. One of the guys is hosting a “cigarfest” at the farm he grew up on. Mostly a campfire. It will probably be 8 or 10 of us out of a class of 300. (It may surprise some of you to know I have an occasional cigar. Boys like to play with fire. I don’t know how to log that in MFP! HA!)
