    Yesterday was a travel day home with some functional exercise. I should be back in the saddle for a few rounds now. I need it.

    10/15
    10/16
    10/17

    Historical Averages: I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope. As I look back over time I choose to let it inspire me rather than depress me.

    Posting these only once per round behind a spoiler.

    Female, 54, 5”1’

    HW: 209.5

    SW: 198.0

    RGW: 195

    FGW: 175

    UGW: 140

    I’m Kira, working, an empty nester, and married. Ihave tried many diets and programs over the years, but nothing has worked for long. Now I am working on loving life and trying to be healthier.

    You don’t have to be perfect; youjust must be better than you were before.

    Goals forthis round are:

    1. Check in everyday.

    2. Weigh in everyday.

    3. Drink my waterevery day.

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

    10/8 - 198.0  I am happy to be back under the 200 mark andam pushing to keep it that way.

    10/9 - 198.0  Had a great night last night ate way too muchbut enjoyed the time with friend watching the first Oiler's game of the season,right till the bitter end of a shootout.

    10/10 - 198.8 not a great dayyesterday, ate too much junk.  I felt sicbut not really sic enough to stop everything and rest.  I hate those kind of days.

    Day/Weight/Comment

    ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 184.8

    10/08-184.8 ↔️ (Trend Weight – 184.7)

    10/09-184.2 ✅ (Trend Weight: 184.7) Another bit of a drop which I am happy for. It’s never as fast off as it is on, but any progress is progress….

    🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃10/10-DNW ↔️ (Trend Weight: DNW) No weigh Friday. Crazy day yesterday but overall a good compliant day. Meals were good, snacks within limitations (the hard part for me) and exercise well planned.

    10/11-xxxxx (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

    10/12-xxxxx (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

    10/13-xxxxx (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

    10/14-xxxxx (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

    10/15-xxxxx (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

    10/16-xxxxx (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

    10/17-xxxxx- (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

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

    10/8: 178.3 📉Well, I’m down 0.2 from yesterday. I had a lot of exercise yesterday and stayed under my calorie allotment. (Sigh) Today is my “free” day from commitments, so not only did I 💃, but I also tried 🏋️‍♀️with a “Lift with Cee” video. It was a 30-minute, full body workout. Oddly enough, it was actually fun. 😊So maybe I’ll actually do it again. 

    10/9: 179.0 📈Wound up taking my 102yo DM to the ER for breathing issues. Long day, no exercise. Sitting all day in ER chairs. Yuck! Ate very late before going to bed. Ugh! Of course, I missed my tap class, canceled a lesson, and didn’t go to book club. Not really a problem considering the situation. She is mad as a hornet that I took her there, but I know I did the right thing. She lives independently, so staying the night at the hospital was also the right call. I need to rest up for tomorrow. 

    10/10: 178.4 📉Very odd that my weight went back down…especially after the day I had. Hardly any water yesterday and just sitting around. I went back today prepared with my protein bar. They found out she is having a-fib, so they are running more tests. She was crazy mad until the cardiologist said she was at high risk for a stroke. He confirmed that I made the right decision bringing her there. Once she accepted her fate, she sent me home for the night. My brother is with her this evening. I came home for a normal dinner. I’ll go back tomorrow. Fun times! 

    @SheilaBoneham Nice job on the knitting! I’ve never done socks before. Impressive! 🧶👏

    @itladyee Did you make that graphic with Lola? So cute!!!!!! 🥰

    🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 311 (my 241st).

    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
    • to have a totally 10-day binge free round.
    • Would like to lose a pound round.

    I need to remain consistent - it does work! 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".

    10/7 142.4 – (trend 142.4) ughh! Back to ‘that’ number ! Still I’ll keep plodding on. 0.2 pounds lost this round – at least lower than start weight. 7.46 miles walked.

    EW Rnd 310 142.4

    SW Rnd 311 142.4

    10/8 142.4 (trend 142.4) – 7.14 miles walked. Really want to lose a pound this next week; next Thursday we go away for a 5 night break so that weight will be my end of round weight.

    10/9 142 – (trend 142.3) 9.43 miles walked.

    10/10 141.6 – (trend 142.2) 6.23 miles walked. Good to see that drop again.

    10/11 DNW - away for a long weekend in the caravan at Darley Dale. 6.8 miles walked yesterday.

    @fermatamb7212 - hope DM makes a quick recovery now she is in the right place, and well done you for insisting you take her there.

    @_JeffreyD_ at least you weren’t all contributing to one meal!! And I certainly hope you created a rating system.

    @SheilaBoneham I did my first bulb orders in the Spring and I just looked to see what else I need to get.

    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 at 200lbs

    Round 310 End Weight 171.0

    10/08 174.0 
    10/09 174.4
    10/10 172.4

    10/11 173.4 That would be the pancakes I made myself at 9pm!!! A salad with protein at 5 or 6pm would have been smart but thinking I could eat at 1pm and then have nothing for the rest of the day was a ridiculous.

    I know better!

    I won’t have a scale for the next few days while I’m visiting my brother and family. Food is always chaotic there and there are some weird family patterns I fall into. My brother struggles with his weight and hasn’t found his way through it. I know how painful it is for him but it is on the list of “do not discuss” topics. I can respect that.
    The upside is I like the Y near their house and usually get to a few classes. Also it takes serious energy to be the favorite playmate of my six year old niece.

    Round 311 8–17 Oct 2025

    Please join us starting on 8 October for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 311

    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.

    @Skyleen75 we are competitive enough without rating each other's food contribution out loud. It wears me out. Who has the most fish? biggest fish? first fish? How many in your live well so far?… (answered with a lie.) Best fish cleaner? Fastest fish cleaner? Who has the best onboard electronics?

    BTW, all of the above is happening in my own insecure head, not anyone else's. HA! I need counseling.

    10/8: 210 (I bought a bread maker because I thought it was a good idea at the time but now I have all this fresh bread in my house which is showing up on the scale. I have to control myself!!! Excited for another 10 day challenge.)

    10/9: 209.4 (I'm so surprised with a loss on the scale, it felt like I was eating every 5 minutes yesterday. I've been drinking a lot of water so that could be helping. I actually set up hourly reminders on my phone to drink water and it's helping huge! And I don't put enhancers in my water anymore, which I had been doing for the last year. I finally love plain water!!!! LIKE WHAT?!)

    10/10: 209.4 (I cooked a big zero point chicken stew for my whole family yesterday and everyone loved it. I love when everyone comes over for dinner! We have bingo night every Thursday and it's fun when we get to host.)

    10/11: 210.8 (big gain today…ate way over my points yesterday. Also had ice cream. My new bread machine is proving to be a problem. I love it so much and making new recipes. Yesterday I made an Italian rosemary bread and it was delicious! But a 1.4 pound gain?! so frustrating. Now it's thanksgiving weekend so lots of temptation and things out of my control. Going to try and stay within my points but I'm not holding my breath this week)

    Round 311

    Oct 8 - 17, 2025

    Female, 54, 5”1’

    HW: 209.5

    SW: 198.0

    RGW: 195

    FGW: 175

    UGW: 140

    I’m Kira, working, an empty nester, and married. I have tried many diets and programs over the years, but nothing has worked for long. Now I am working on loving life and trying to be healthier.

    You don’t have to be perfect; you just must be better than you were before.

    Goals for this round are:

    1. Check in every day.

    2. Weigh in every day.

    3. Drink my water every day.

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

    10/8 - 198.0 I am happy to be back under the 200 mark and am pushing to keep it that way. Talking yesterday with my husband I realized that when I quit smoking 29 years ago, I replaced it with carbs and sugar. That was when my weight started pilling on. I am working towards replacing sugar and carbs with better foods, one day at a time

    10/9 - 198.0 Had a great night last night ate way too much but enjoyed the time with friend watching the first Oiler's game of the season, right till the bitter end of a shootout.

    10/10 - 198.8 not a great day yesterday, ate too much junk. I felt sic but not really sic enough to stop everything and rest. I hate those kinds of days.

    10/11 - 198.0 felt better yesterday, had meetings all afternoon, ran into another Realtor at the office who hasn't seen me since early September, she saw a difference in my face and asked me what I was doing to lose weight. This lifted my spirits so much. I have been thinking that I am the only one who sees a difference. We chatted about it and are going to meet up this week and go a for a walk.

    I’m back, ready to go. 

    Goals for the rest of 2025

    • Eat mindfully. 🍎
    • Regain regular exercise habit beyond gardening. Walk! 👟
    • Check in here daily. ✏️

    Trend Weight end of last round — R310, 198.5

    Date, Trend Weight, Comments

    10/08 — 198.3
    Back on track. Lots of yard work to do—I look at it as bonus calories burned. 

    10/09 — 198.5
    One of those mysterious upticks that seem completely independent of yesterday’s food and exercise. Oh well! Just keepin’ on. 

    10/10 — 198.5

    Had a bit of a snack attack last night, but kept it to a piece of Dave’s Good Seed, thin sliced, with a thin spread of peanutbutter, eaten slowly. Quite satisfying. It was a lovely day and I had a nice walk in the morning, then did some garden work. I’m planting bulbs today—Spring is coming! And I finished two knitting projects this week—now if we’d get some sweater weather I’ll be all set. The collar will lie straight after I block it, but here they are. I’m really into fall colors right now. 😊🧶
