    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).

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

    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

    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.

    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 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)

    09/13-xxxxx (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

    09/14-xxxxx (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

    09/15-xxxxx (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

    09/16-xxxxx (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

    09/17-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.

    @_JeffreyD_ Sorry for the loss of dear Poppy. 💔 Losing a pet is losing a family member — I’m thinking of you and your DW.

    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.

    9/8 132.4🏆🎾🚶‍♀️💗👣🤸🏼📖

    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!

    9/11 132.0 🎾 🚶‍♀️💗👣🤸🏼 

    🙏Life forever changed yesterday. 🙏

    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.

    @_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!

    Day/Weight/Comment

    ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND: 182.6

    09/08-183.6 ❌ (Trend Weight – 184.6)

    09/09 – DNW 〰️ (Trend Weight – DNW)

    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.

    🐝🐝🐝🐝09/11-188.0 ❌ (Trend Weight: 185.0) Well, there’s the rest of the travel weight I was expecting yesterday. Yikes! 4.4 lbs higher than the before travel weight Monday morning just prior to leaving! Hopefully some of this is fluid retention that I have a difficult time shedding. I will take my water pill today like a good girl and hope that helps. DD and DGS will be back late this afternoon. I will not be derailed!

    09/12-xxxxx (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

    09/13-xxxxx (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

    09/14-xxxxx (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

    09/15-xxxxx (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

    09/16-xxxxx (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

    09/17-xxxxx- (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

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

    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! 🤞

    9/11: 181.5 😔Okay, I know this is going to eventually go down for good if I stay strong. It has to!!! Meanwhile, I had a couple glasses of wine and GF tacos (meaning corn tortillas) at the brewery for music bingo last night. They were yummy. 😋So considering all of that, I think I understand why the scale was up a bit today. Now tomorrow?? That’s going to be interesting. Mexican restaurant out with the family for lunch today🌮, tap class started back up💃, and book club tonight📚. NSV: I did not go insane with the chips and espinaca dip today. I looked up the calories before having any and kept control. That was big! Plus, I was so careful today that I’m going to enjoy a cupcake tonight🧁. I’m so excited!!!🤩
