    @Chapter_3 Yes, you certainly have a different situation. In the keys, landmass is so small, options are few, unlike what is sounds the developers in your situation could have had. And I can see why the decision is such a shock. I apologize if there was any implication on my part that you were not caring about the patients. Personally, I just have to reframe our situation so that I am not perpetually upset. When we bought in 2019, there was no hospital, and things were quiet. The helicopters passing literally right over us is very loud and jarring, and I am grateful that I am NOT on the top floor as, if it is this bad for me, it must be worse for them. So anyhow, my reframing brings me peace to something I have no control over, and that is the best I can do.

    I'll post some wedding pics shortly.

    SW Rnd 303 297.6 EW 296.5 (-1.1)
    SW Rnd 304 296.5 EW 301.1 (+4.6)
    SW Rnd 305 301.1 EW 299.2 (-1.9)
    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.
    9/11: 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!
    9/12: 297.1? I did weigh in but my app didn't record it so this is my best guess from memory.
    9/13: DNW - Oops, got dressed today before I stepped on the scale! Nice date day with my husband. We checked out a volunteer fair and went to a winery.
    9/14: 298.7 - No food was safe around me this weekend.
    9/15: 299.8 - The price for the weekend was high. Yesterday I did a two hour deep clean of our master bedroom and rode the Peloton for 20 minutes but that didn't even scratch the surface to offset what happened in the kitchen (of course not).

    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.

    👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE👍👍

    ****

    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”

    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!!!🤩

    9/12: 181.8 🤨Had the cupcake. Am I being punished? 😔

    9/13: 180.8 😮Wonder if this is real??? I know I hurt from tap dancing on Thursday. I’ve had more wine this week, since you know, once you open a bottle, you have to finish it within a week. 🤣These incremental moves make me nuts!!!! Not sure what’s happening the rest of the day.

    9/14: 180.7 😊Full day. Eating out tonight with a friend at Bibibop. I’m excited that I won’t have to worry about gluten in anything I eat there.

    9/15: 182.8 😔We ate out last night, so I’m feeling that this is water weight. If you’re unfamiliar (which I was), Bibibop serves up bowls. It reminded me of a salad bar, but the servers assemble it like Chipotle. Those sweet potato noodles were pretty yummy. Full day with lessons today. Leftover Mexican food for dinner.

    SW Rnd 3️⃣0️⃣8️⃣ 232.2 Goal 229.x
    9/8 233.4 Goal 232.8 ~ Mon ~ I bumped my goal because yesterday was Sunday, Football day and a day of very little activity. I also tend to go up at the start of a round. But apparently I didn't bump it quite enough.
    9/9 233.3 Goal 232.6 ~ Tue
    9/10 233.4 / Goal 231.8 ~ Wed ~ i don't have high hopes for this round.

    9/12 DNW
    9/13 233.2 - Sat ~ neighborhood party, potluck. Just focusing on breaking even this round. I knew it would be a tough one.
    9/14 233.6 ~ dinner and play in the city
    9/15 233.7 ~ the last few days have been horrendous as food consumption goes, but they have been enjoyable. I did get my 3 mile walk in yesterday, so that helped a bit. The rest of Sep and into October is pretty mundane. The most exciting thing is going to get my puppy on Thursday. We are having lunch at a specialty taco place called Agave and Rye but I will plan for that over the next few days. The drive is about 5 hours one way (3 hours to the restaurant) , so we should be ok without a bunch of road snacks.
    9/16 Tue
    9/17 We

    @musicsax ~ I hope you're having a blast on your trip!!

    @Chapter_3 ~ Sorry, things didn't work out with the city council. You should feel content that you did all that you could standing up and fighting for what's right. Vote them out!

    @Skyleen75 ~ Glad you're back home safe and sounds with your DH and snuggling with those little dogs :) You did well on your trip and only splurged on the return! WOW…

    @SModa61 ~ Great pictures, Mom looks great and glad she choosing to NOT overdo it, also love the "prep" photo! Can't wait to see the wedding photos!

    @pezhed ~ love the picture, thanks for sharing!

    9/08 - 170.4

    9/09 - 168.4

    9/10 - 167.9

    9/11 - 167.9

    9/12 - 167.3

    9/13 - 168.3

    9/14 - DNW

    9/15 - 168.5 - I'm rather happy with this weigh-in. I didn't really track yesterday. I started off trying to but it was a pot-like style "snacks" for a football watching get together at Fam's. There was simply too much to try to keep track of and some foods simply were creations made by various people with no searchable options as "best guess" so I just cleared all food from MacroFactor yesterday and worked to stay mindful and focused on hunger, not taste. This weigh in does show me that I didn't go completely off track and that's a great sign, especially with all the upcoming travel in October that will keep me from regularly tracking (and if I can track, I won't be able to pre-track so staying mindful like this is my best option). Steps were ridiculously low though I did stand a good portion of the day. I'm not totally upset at that.

    I called for PT scheduling. Their first available is Oct 20th (ouch!) I went ahead and scheduled it though I have a strong feeling I'll be cancelling as it is the only week in October I have Monday-Thursday available to travel for work to two sites for our client which they're expecting us to do in October. I have a feeling I'll be relying on BF and I's knowledge of his PT from his shoulder surgeries and my PT friend to do it on my own. Stupid VA and their stupid scheduling.

    09/14-186.2 ❌ (Trend Weight: 184.9) Bowling with the three littlest littles yesterday was lots of fun but two out of three of them actually beat my scores (the pre-school 4 yr old and the first grader). I used to be a pretty good bowler in my younger days! Lunch out was a Chinese buffet (Foodie DD’s choice). Within the hour of the buffet lunch (she ate a LOT), she ordered Two Large Pizza’s at the bowling alley! Unbelievable! It can’t be food insecurity, I promise she had a normal eating life growing up. I avoided the pizza and was done with food for the day after the buffet. Weight is up 2.2 today which is pretty typical for me after any restaurant meals of any kind. Hopefully I can stay home for a few days and get back to routine. I did shop while away and pick up more of my plan foods. I should be good to go. Enjoy your Sunday!

    9/9: 148.4; I logged my food and will plan a healthier menu for the rest of the week. 

    9/10: 148; food logged

    9/11: 148.2; Feeling stuck here at this weight. I'm also finding it difficult to make the lifestyle changes I need to make to support weight loss. It seems like life is so jam-packed with challenges and projects right now. I'm just small changes where I can. Even if I just stay at this weight this round, it's better than gaining.

    9/12: —

    @itladyee @fermatamb7212 @Skyleen75 @_JeffreyD_ So, i wanted to reply to the hair roller comments before posting any wedding stuff. Those early two photos were in a bad order. they hair roller photo was a "before" to the rehearsal dinner and the photo with me and my mom. So, you actually have already seen the "after" for the hair rollers.

    Now I'll give you a hint on my wedding hair photo. 20 minutes pulling out pins last night. all of those in the photo below were jammed in. I think they spent 2 hours on me in the end. I have no idea.

    @itladyee @fermatamb7212 @Chapter_3 @musicsax @Skyleen75 @pezhed @_JeffreyD_ Thank you all for the well wishes. I'll get a few nice photos up later today. Had to work on my mom's meds all day, running to grocery store now as we have NOTHING in the house.

    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!

    🙏Life forever changed yesterday. 🙏 

    9/12 132.4 🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼📖🙏💦 

    9/13 & 9/14. Plan to get back on track today. Little to no sleep… I didn’t go off the rails, but I was definitely off plan with portion control. Quite difficult to stay on plan when sleep deprived. Last night I crashed at 7:45PM and slept soundly till 6AM so I may have turned the corner to somewhat normalcy. Planning my WV 🚶‍♀️💗👣 🏋️‍♀️ this morning and visiting grandchildren.

    9/15 DNW I’m not measuring anything, but I’m OK! As soon as I get my sleep cycle back in order I’ll be back 100%!❤️😍

    Also, I appreciate your supportive comments… And will spend wonderful reflected time thinking each of you!

    🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 308 (my 238th).

    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, 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!

    9/12 DNW - 8.4 miles walked. This is such a small resort that walking is limited, but we are managing to go 6 miles in the morning & make it up in the evening after dinner.

    9/13 DNW - 9.61 miles walked, ate a little more than other days, need to rein in today.

    9/14 DNW - 7.32 miles walked, it was soooo hot yesterday! Not complaining, that's what we paid our money for, but a struggle to get steps in!!

    9/15 DNW - 7.83 miles walked.

    9/16 DNW - 9.49 miles walked. Today is our wedding anniversary; we are riding the road train to the next resort.

    9/17

    A 45 minute advanced core class kicked my butt last night. Looking forward to a two hour intensive boxing meet up this evening. Having to take it a bit easy because I definitely strained my pec single handed righting the hilarious tequila tipped canoe. My Girl Scout training kicked right in.

    Big salad for dinner last night but also a mini cookie binge. I think I’m just settling back home. Plan to add more protein today.

    I just typed and deleted “I WANT to finish this round strong” because the truth is I WILL finish this round strong.

    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.

    8/12 – 126.6 Over on calories. Dinner was at 4:15 (attended a wake), and just got too hungry later in the evening. Also, dinner and late night were “processed” items and overnight finger were tight. Theory is there might be salt and fluid retention showing her. I did try on rehearsal dinner and wedding dresses yesterday, and everything fits. Today’s food should be good and is planned out, and will NOT be a 4:15 dinner.

    8/13 – 126.8 a definite gift. Binge again. At least I know there is no time for a binge today or tomorrow, but still facing lots of foot. I plan to enjoy but be thoughtful.

    8/14 – 126.6 Made it through yesterday. Mom rose to the occasion and enjoyed the rehearsal dinner. She is skipping the wedding today. Pulling myself together this morning. I have to be at the venue before 8:30. Quickly drinking my coffee and gotta go.

    8/15 – 125.8 Shocking number for day after the wedding. Day was beautiful and all went well. Of course though, the day after one does think “I should have done X”. But bride and groom both said yes, and are happy, so life is good!

    8/16 – 127.6 Huge ice cream binge which I will NOT describe. Today will be good, so I know it will settle out if I give it a few days.

    5'3, 36 yo, SAHM to 3 year 4 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.

    9/12: 142.6. I'm happy to have released some water weight. OMAD went well yesterday. There was just one moment during my kids' dinner that I snuck a few bites of their leftovers but other than that, I stuck to it pretty well. Still working towards a perfect day.

    I went for a walk, but took another rest day from running. I was too exhausted from PMS again. I feel kind of guilty for taking a few days off, but I really just didn't have it in me. I won't be able to go tonight, but I'll be back at it tomorrow.

    9/13: 143.6. I thought my weight would be down today, I had a good day yesterday. I stuck to my one meal and didn't do any snacking. I did a 3 mile walk but wasn't able to get to the gym for a run. I need to get a run in today, I have missed 3 days.

    9/14: 142.5. Happy with this. Yesterday was a good day. No snacking. Stayed in my calories. A 3 mile walk and a 10k run.

    9/15: 142.4. I got a little munchy last night, so not a perfect day. I need to tighten up my eating a little.
    But it wasn't too bad of a day though. 3 mile walk and a 5 mile treadmill run.

    9/16: 144.2. I had a small binge last night and am paying the price on the scale this morning. I'm not really sure why, other than the food was right there in front of me. Pushing on and getting back on track this morning.
