Just Give Me 10 Days Round 311

pezhed · October 13

I’m Amanda, 5’2” 40F in Appalachian Virginia.

Non-scale goals (tracked for prior day):

🏃🏻‍♀️ Intentional movement 7/10 days

🚫 No alcohol 7/10 days

📝 Track 5/10 days

SW Rnd 311 - 129.4

RGW - 127.4

10/8 - 127.6 🚫 Surprised to see such a low number today! Arrival of TOM probably meant release of some water I was unknowingly holding on to. It also meant cravings, lethargy, and a headache yesterday. Planning to get my act together today. I forewent all activities this morning for cleaning out and reorganizing my pantry. Had so much expired stuff in there 😳 Hoping to get the dogs outside with the boy and sneak downstairs for a quick strength session.

10/9 - 128.0 🏃🏻‍♀️🚫 Got my strength training in yesterday but could only manage a short walk with the dogs & kiddo through the endless whining. I’m super out of it today for some reason. Maybe distracted by this potential career transition, maybe tired from having a cold. Who knows. Planning to squeeze in strength training this afternoon.

10/10 - 128.6 🏃🏻‍♀️🚫 Okay, today’s focus is starting to track again. I do not like to be up heading into the weekend. We have some plans this weekend but it won’t be the social marathon that last weekend was.

I did my strength training this morning and plan to spend the rest of the morning cleaning the house until I pick 4yo up. The time flies so we’ll see how far I get.

10/11 - 128.8 🏃🏻‍♀️

10/12 - DNW 🏃🏻‍♀️

10/13 - 131.0. Wow, really just gave up yesterday and all weekend really. I don’t know what happened. One minute I was making baked goods for my kid’s Fall Festival at school and the next minute I was tasting all the other parents’ snacks. Then had 2 beers by the fire after eating a 1200-calorie sub from Jersey Mike’s for dinner. Time to get myself back on track today. I’m subbing at the local high school this morning but have a lot of downtime, so I’ll make a meal plan and a workout plan during this teacher’s planning period.

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)

10/12: DNW

10/13: 207.6 (WOW! Big whoosh today. Even after being away for thanksgiving and not having control of what I eat! Thank goodness, especially after that big gain. Getting closer and closer to onederland! I was so proud of myself, my family all got McDonalds breakfast and I said no and only got coffee and had a granola bar instead!! I didn't want to have McDonalds and then a big thanksgiving dinner on the same day. I was proud of myself!)

Rnd 311 | SW: 178.3 | EWG: 176.8 🎯

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!

10/11: DNW

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.

10/13: 176.7 📉🫨I’m gobsmacked!!! Losing 4 days of exercise has been making me crazy! Then I wasn’t able to go to the store and prep food like I usually do on Sunday, so we had a GF frozen pizza last night. I assumed I would be UP a pound from yesterday instead of down 0.4. What?!?! I googled “how does taking a day off from exercise impact weight loss?” ANSWER: It allows the body to recover, rebuild muscle, and reset hormones like cortisol, which can otherwise hinder fat loss. While it won’t cause weight gain, consistently skipping workouts can negatively impact long-term progress. Of course, that led to many more interesting reads on this topic. Today, I’m back on the “wagon.” 🤣

CamandJarvis · October 13

~~10/08~~ - 168.4

~~10/09~~ - 167.9

~~10/10~~ - DNW

~~10/11~~ - DNW

~~10/12~~ - DNW

~~10/13~~ - 170.2 - Painful to type. Not enough water all weekend. Definitely had some drinks. Food was all over the place and nearly none of it was the most healthy. I did aim to get at least one veggie in every day, though. I'm off work today (though I may pop in this afternoon to catch up before my short week - I'm off Friday as well) so I'm focused on getting meals set for this week (went to the grocery already), gym done to get back in that routine, and making sure I hit my water intake and step goals. No travel for work this week due to change late last week in plans so I'll be (as far as I know) home until I travel to my parent's for Halloween in a couple weeks. I'm glad, travel really messes up my routine and I really need it right now. Plus, I miss my pups!

ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 184.8

10/08-184.8 ↔️ (Trend Weight – 184.7)

10/09-184.2 ✅ (Trend Weight: 184.7

10/10-DNW ↔️ (Trend Weight: DNW)

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!

10/12-181.8 ✅ (Trend Weight: 184.2)Wow, nice whoosh. The last time I weighed 181.8 was on Aug 31st for one day only. Then I promptly shot back up to 188 within 48 hours! This is the week in which my original running weekly goal would hit the 170’s for the 1st time this round. It’s nice to be this close again as it makes me hopeful that I can get there. In the words of Paul Anka….”So close…So Close and yet so far.” (To the younger folks out there, he’s a singer and that’s in one of his songs). In the words of another great old song, “Hang on Sloopy, Sloopy hang on!”

🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 10/13-181.2 ✅ (Trend Weight: 183.9) Man, oh, Man did my self-sabotage ever kick in Last Night! Scale was okay today but will it show up tomorrow? I’ve got to have a very compliant day today. I must prove to my body that I respect it and will not make THAT the norm. Also, I’m traveling Wednesday back to my accountant near Lake Huron. Lunch will be out and I MUST keep it reasonable. I really want to touch the 170’s and then get that magic 7 in place!

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!

🎷 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.

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, it’s taken me 75 rounds to achieve target of 130 = back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 135. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

Updated 20.08.24 – I met up with youngest DB, first time after his DP passed away at the way too early age of 46. DB lives a long way from us, we see him very infrequently & is very introvert, so not a sharer of info 😞. However, he finally opened up to me, it seems that his DPs bad health leading to heart failure followed by kidney, liver failure & then a massive stroke, was originally caused by heavy drinking. By the time he realised he was abusing his body and went teetotal, the damage was too late to reverse. He was on the list for a heart transplant, but his other organs gave up before one became available. This has made me think about how I am abusing my body when I have binges with way too much sugar, fat & salt. I know I am a food addict. I'm going to try to think about this when I am tempted to overindulge, I need to start respecting my body more and think about whether I want to be in the best health I can be. My body has served me so well for 67 years, it deserves to be given the best chance to keep serving me well & I've been really lucky that life has not dealt me a raw health deal, so I must not jeopardize that luck.

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.

10/13 DNW - no structured walking, helped at DGD 7th birthday party, and needles to say, there was pizza & cake!

10/14 142.6 – 11.02 miles walked, disappointed at the number, but keep going!

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.

10/14 174.8 That is a kick in the butt! I definitely could blame it on travel, being away from home and my routine. But that is me not taking responsibility for my actions.
It is the same me no matter the location. I made the decisions. I ate the donuts- even if I cut them in half pretending I’d just eat the half… 6 halves later! I poured the cream and sugar in my coffee. Yes I had salad for dinner but it had fried chicken on it, I sad yes when my brother asked if I wanted extra chicken…
To be fair the food noise in my head is absolutely deafening when I’m surrounded by my family. But I am not powerless in these situations. This trip I just didn’t put in the effort to take care of myself. I know better.
I woke up in my own bed this morning after a long, late drive yesterday. 5:10am on the clock- first thought “some of my gym friends do a 5:30am upper body workout on Tuesday. get up, get up, get up brush your teeth and get there”.
I got up and I got there. Felt so good.
I am not giving up on this round. I can get on track today and get food choices under control. If I end with anything that starts with 172…. it will be a successful round.
I know that some rounds, for me, the win is not about getting a lower number on the scale. The win is getting back on track, starting fresh each day and not giving up on myself.

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.

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.

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.

10/13: 220.0
✏️🎯💓
Overall, under control yesterday, except for ultra processed food (100 calories). I am not trying to avoid UPF for calories. Mainly trying to avoid poison.

✏️☣️💓
Had some sweet moments with the DGD and DGS yesterday. Not just relationally either. The “boys” went out to the park playground and then for some frozen custard while the “girls” had a nap. Caused me to miss the target goal, but so worth it.

I am very thankful for my health to be able to have days like yesterday. I know things can turn on a dime based on friends and family around me.

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.

10/13 – 200.8 not happy to see the 200’s again, but with Thanksgiving meal yesterday it was expected. We had a friend over yesterday that we haven’t seen since last year this time. We’ve all been busy. He looked so much better, has lost just over 100lbs, told me he has 80 to go.

10/14 – 197.8 happy to see the weight drop back again. Yesterday was a much more relaxing day. Did a bit of work around the house and then relaxed.

AR10at50 · October 14

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.

10/14-135-Been behaving myself and if I drink my green protein drink first, I have no desire to eat any junk.

Goal Weight: 136 lbs.

10/13 – 172.6 I tried to participate in this group in September but was travelling too much for work and wasn't able to weigh daily or consistently - but more stable schedule now to focus on this.

10/14 – 171.7 Got in my steps yesterday but didn't get any structured exercise in. Food on point, no alcohol, and fairly good sleep (internet went out at 1:30 a.m. which woke me up because my sleep white noise sounds stopped playing, it was so weirdly quiet)

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)

10/12: DNW

10/13: 207.6 (WOW! Big whoosh today. Even after being away for thanksgiving and not having control of what I eat! Thank goodness, especially after that big gain. Getting closer and closer to onederland! I was so proud of myself, my family all got McDonalds breakfast and I said no and only got coffee and had a granola bar instead!! I didn't want to have McDonalds and then a big thanksgiving dinner on the same day. I was proud of myself!)

10/14: 207.8 (a 0.2 gain is NOTHING compared to what I ate yesterday at Thanksgiving. Had such a huge meal plus tarts galore! It was a fantastic meal. I brought scalloped potatoes and they were a hit! so delicious! Tonight I'm making a beautiful broccoli salad and some fresh homemade bread. Looking forward to it)

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 starting back 10/7 was 199.7; 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. 😊🧶

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. 🤪

10/13 — 198.4

10/14 — 198
Ok, slow but sure, and no severe cuts, just awareness and small changes.

~~10/10~~ - DNW

~~10/11~~ - DNW

~~10/12~~ - DNW

~~10/13~~ - 170.2

~~10/14~~ - 170.1 - Well, it's kind of progress? It is far better than an increase. I was able to get 92oz water in, 8 oz shy of goal. Not too bad, honestly. I did go over on food but I made BF a completely from-scratch pumpkin pie. As in I roasted the whole pumpkin, ground my own spices, made my own crust, etc. He said it turned out really good which I'm glad. I don't like pumpkin so I bought myself a little 2 serving bowl of tiramisu and ate half of it last night while he enjoyed his pie. I didn't get a birthday cake for my birthday and tiramisu is my favorite so I allowed myself to indulge in that despite not planning for it. I did manage to fit the other half of the tiramisu into my food log/macro goals for today so I can enjoy it guilt-free and hopefully still see progress. I didn't get in a walk so I didn't get my steps. I was hoping an extra trip to the store and errands around the house would suffice but they didn't. Today will be better. Did get to the gym for leg day, though, so I've gotten my movement in at least.

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!

10/11: DNW

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.

10/13: 176.7 📉🫨I’m gobsmacked!!! Losing 4 days of exercise has been making me crazy! Then I wasn’t able to go to the store and prep food like I usually do on Sunday, so we had a GF frozen pizza last night. I assumed I would be UP a pound from yesterday instead of down 0.4. What?!?! I googled “how does taking a day off from exercise impact weight loss?” Answer: It allows the body to recover, rebuild muscle, and reset hormones like cortisol, which can otherwise hinder fat loss. While it won’t cause weight gain, consistently skipping workouts can negatively impact long-term progress. Of course, that led to many more interesting reads on this topic. Today, I’m back on the “wagon.” 🤣

10/14: 177.6 📈🫣Not surprised. I looked at my protein numbers last night and needed about 20g more. So I had a protein bar…about an hour before bedtime. 😏I figured it would be up this morning. Therefore, I’m on a mission to get my protein in earlier in the day. This morning, I added protein powder to my yogurt and coffee. Yummy in the yogurt. I need to tweak the coffee. Anyway, I only need 10g more. Vacation starts on Saturday…to the northeast. 😳We’re planning on the bad weather being over and hoping that things are okay there after the storm (hurricane?) passes.

PS I love how many 🇨🇦 are on here! We live in the midwest US, but have many relatives in Alberta area. I was very aware of 🇨🇦 T-giving, but I’m wondering if the food is similar to ours in the US or how it differs?
