🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 10/11-183.6 ✅ (Trend Weight: 184.5) Meals were okay. Snacks not so good, but an overdue TMI helped. We’ll see how well this sticks. This drop represents two days since I didn’t weigh yesterday. Have a great Saturday everyone!

60 y.o. 2017 SW-187 lbs.

UGW-129 Thank you @musicsax !!!🌸

10/8-138-Back to another day at the quilt retreat with my own food.

10/9-137-That was lucky after having just a bit of the homemade banana ice cream and banana cake I took to the retreat yesterday. I make my green protein smoothie the night before and just grab it in the morning and go and that really helps.

10/10-138-I’ll take that because I had a cinnamon roll and a couple other snacks yesterday but did not eat the carby lunch they offered. Last day of the retreat but going to play pickle ball on the way.

10/11-139-Had two chicken thighs and don’t care that my weight is up because I didn’t eat junk. Off to my nieces wedding.

Reintroducing my journey - Hit my goal in 2019, then had a couple of kids, then hit goal again in Dec last year. Time to stop the creeping numbers again! It's not a diet it's a lifestyle right?

🎷 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.

10/12 DNW - 13.67 miles walked. This was the sight that rewarded us 6.5 miles into the walk, Chatsworth House in all it's glory.

And the glorious sunset at the end of the day.

F 66, 5’6”, married, retired. Embracing a “growing younger” positive mindset. Being fully present to enjoy each day of this #HSF (healthy, strong, fit) journey. I fully commit to a daily renewal of #MindBodySoul. 📖 SW R311 = ⚖️133.0

BHAG 128-130lbs FIRM - by 10/26. Seems like this goal is STILL doable, will continue. ***Rnd Goal = won’t update previous goal - still surprised the scale didn’t budge last round: going for a solid whoosh that sticks: why not?! 1.4lb to 131.6 by 10/17. #MindBodySoul #HSF

10/8 133.0 NSV - stuck with the plan even with self-doubt. Food wasn’t the issue. It was just fighting the “feeling defeated” heaviness… Managed to turn that around, learn from it & enjoy the day.

10/9 132.6 not a whoosh but first real down-tick in weeks. I can say “real” because this one has been earned. 🙂No structured walk. ✅kcals & 🥩 but a little over in carbs… So no “🏆” yesterday. But all else good. I’m back to using “habit tracker” to help keep me on target. I need those little reminders! Focus: 🎾 & 🚶‍♀️💗👣. Today =🎾🏋️‍♀️ tomorrow. Stay the course.

10/10 DNW 4 hrs sleep. Bummer. Today: 🎾🏋️‍♀️- no time for nap. Chauffeuring Tucker & making appetizers for our “funeral reception” the “funeral” …. The 10-month fight to end the hospital garage project is being formally laid to rest. Today marks the 30-day court filing deadline & we decided - “no more”. Dinner /drinks for 14 at former mayor’s home. 🤞🏻I’ll behave🤞🏻. Happy weekend all! #MindBodySoul #HSF

10/11 DNW & 10/12 134.0 I ended up having a great day Friday - accomplished all Movement goals & barely missed calories - definitely behaved at the dinner party. It was yesterday that I went off the rails. Silly me made the mistake of bringing home leftovers & I over-indulged. I had plans to go on WV walk and I blew IT off OPTING to clean house. WHAT?! That was the break-down. Why? Because my walk gives me so much determination and spiritual strength. Over an hour of focused prayer and meditation is so much better for me than even the walk! So…. Instead, I “Found” myself in the kitchen over & over because everything tasted so good! Self-control simply went out the window. Maybe I was tired? Or just BAD, BAD, BAD! It’s been a super long time since I “pigged out”. However, I didn’t have to go so, so overboard. A blip. Back on it today! 🎾🏋️‍♀️👣 📖 today. #HSF #MindBodySoul

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.

Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 311
Oct 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: 130.0

10/8 – 129.2 Struggling to get back on track.

10/9 – 129.8 was a very good day until later in the evening. But step one is just getting back to those thoughtful days. Controlling the evening is a separate task.

10/10 – 129.8 Reporting in at 9:22 PM.

10/11 – 130.0 cannot let myself cross this number. Needs to be a hard stop!

10/12 – 130.6 don’t know what to say….. so two minutes later…… plan for the day…….. Pre-track my food for the day. Visit mom. Go for a walk while hubby watches football. Close the kitchen after dinner, do my Ellie Phillips teeth cleaning and put in my elastics (tend to not eat in the evening after that hassle). Got three weeks until two weeks at our FL condo.

Didn’t log until late in the day, so the right hand didn’t know what the left hand was doing. They were both feeding the pie hole as it turns out...

Just happy the number did not go up. I will make an effort today.

10/12: 221.8
✏️💓
Did a bit better. Had more social eating and drinking than planned. Protein was my highest macro for a change.

My sports teams lost yesterday. What a waste of time to sit there and watch them on TV when I could just go for a walk simply check the score afterward. Much less anxiety and stress.

Going to a wedding today. There will be cake.

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 - 198.2 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.

10/12 – 197.8 yesterday was a good day. My son came over to put new brakes on his girlfriend’s car. I got a chance to talk with her while he was doing that. I really like this girl. She fits into our family so nicely. I took my youngest young lady to IKEA to look around. She wants to get a new bedroom set. We found one that she likes but they didn’t have all the pieces in stock. Last night was the second hockey game of the season for the Oiler’s, they won, I hate the 8pm start time, it just feels too late.

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!

10/12: 177.1 📉Wow! I’m 0.3 from my EWG for the Rnd! 🤯 Yesterday was a day consumed with being at the hospital and bringing DM home, as well as getting her all set up. I will probably be spending more time with her today, but I hope to have some self-care. Unfortunately, I think we are just scratching the surface of DM’s care. Cognitively, she is not doing well. I’m trying to get my sibs to realize she needs more assistance.

@itladyee Thanks for the validation regarding DM! 🥰

@musicsax Those pictures! Love your view!!! 😊

@AR10at50 Have we seen quilt pics? I would love to see your handiwork.

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. 😊🧶

10/11 — 198.5

10/12 — 198.4

I finally got my bulbs planted yesterday, though I’d planned to do it Friday, and I’m sort today—too much bending and squatting! I guess I know what kind of exercise I should be adding to my routine. 🤪
