    10/08 - 168.4

    10/09 - 167.9

    10/10 - DNW

    10/11 - DNW

    10/12 - DNW

    10/13 - 170.2

    10/14 - 170.1

    10/15 - 168.7

    10/16 - 168.5 - I'll take it. Macros were off a bit but calories were within 15 of goal (under) so I was certainly in deficit. I'm at that point I'm struggling with seeing progress simply because of all the travel seems to undo any progress I make. This is the time of year (Halloween, US Thanksgiving, and all the December holidays) were things get harder but I need to really focus on being smarter about my intake. I can enjoy the things I want in smaller portions and fill up on fruit/veg. Even if my macros are off, if I'm focused on volume eating when I can't properly (or accurately) track, I should easily stay in a deficit or at maintenance to see progress, even when traveling or otherwise unable to meal prep/track. Now to remember that when I'm in the moment! Gym this morning. Need to get more steps in but I have time - likely after I eat during my lunch break for at least 15 minutes. I'll aim to squeeze in a second 15 minute walk before the end of my day. Maybe during my call this afternoon I can get some extra steps in while I listen.

    🎷 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.

    image-06dd61df26b35-b1b8.png

    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 caravan at Darley Dale. 6.8 miles walked yesterday.

    10/12 13.67 miles walked.

    10/13 DNW – no structured walking, helped at DGD 7th birthday party, and needless to say, pizza & cake involved!

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

    10/15 142.6 – only 3.49 miles walked yesterday; met regular Tuesday FF for day out.

    image-4b08502a7e52e8-a246.png

    10/16 144 – yesterday I just had a devil may care attitude & did not eat sensibly! 11.21 miles walked.

    10/17 DNW – 3.85 miles walked after we’d arrived on site for long weekend break. Can’t say I’m not disappointed at the “lack of progress” this round, need to work harder next.

    👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT! 👍👍.

    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
    10/12 DNW
    10/13 DNW
    10/14 174.8
    10/15 173.4

    10/16 174.0

    10/17 175.2 Welp!!!! I took a a few deep breathes after seeing that! I wasn’t perfect the last two days but I didn’t think I had gone that far off. But I can see how every small choice adds up.

    No pity party for me! It is hard to get back on track after a weekend of being checked out. This number isn’t “bloat”, it is the reality that one whole week of not putting in the extra effort can erase a whole month of work.

    I’m glad this round is over! I very much almost rolled over and went back to sleep when my alarm sounded to get up for 5:30am bootcamp. It’s cold out and dark, bed was so warm and snuggly.

    I know that I’ll feel better once I’m moving.

    JGMTD #311 #81 #discipline  

    F 67, 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 🏆🤸🏼🎾🚶‍♀️💗👣💦📖

    10/9 132.6 🤸🏼🏋️‍♀️👣💦📖

    10/10 DNW 🏆🤸🏼🎾🚶‍♀️💗👣📖

    10/11 DNW 🎾🚶‍♀️💗👣🤸🏼🏋️‍♀️📖

    10/12 134.0 🤸🏼📖

    10/13 134.2 no sleep 🏆🤸🏼🎾🚶‍♀️💗👣📖

    10/14 133.0 🏆🤸🏼🎾🚶‍♀️💗👣📖

    10/15 135.6 🤸🏼🎾👣📖

    10/16 132.6 🏆🤸🏼🎾👣📖

    10/17 132.6 🚫 🤸🏼📖

    ************

    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

    10/13 Slept 4 hrs. Yuck. Will try to make the best of it today. However, hit all my targets yesterday, so who knows what’s going on with my body. No TMIx3#MindBodySoul #HSF

    10/14 & 10/15. Two good days but ate big & late last night for DH 71st BD. I missed JGMTD yesterday morning cuz my morning routine & day were discombobulated. My weight keeps increasing? I can only guess its up today because we ate late last night. Should be ok tomorrow? Shall see. 

    10/16. I’m still a “container“. 🤣 Excellence in the kitchen & 💦 hydration. Today: 5mi WV🚶‍♀️💗👣🏋️‍♀️

    10/17 no movement yesterday cuzz I chose to be distracted & piddled. Today: WV 🚶‍♀️💗👣 & 🏋️‍♀️. DGS Tucker this afternoon & eve. So much to be thankful for - deep in my soul. Celebrating the completion of 67 years around the son. Cheers 🥂 to health! I give myself a B- this round. Wanted more off the scale (didn’t reach “goal”), missed two days checking in here and chose two piddle days. One day of “pigging out”. Two nights sleep deprived. (Better than usual.) Lots of prayer & reflection. More forgiveness. All other days = positive self discipline & strength. Still wanting BHAG and will figure it out! #MindBodySoul #HSF

    6’-2”

    OGW: 199 (just to say I did)
    Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205

    Daily Goals (4) for this round:
    -✏️ Log Food.
    -☣️ No Ultra Processed Food (UPF).
    -🎯 Meet CI/CO target, net 1500. (CO reduced by UPF CI)
    -💓 Exercise minimum 20 minutes. More if possible.

    Round 311 Posts
    This is my posting format….
    Month/Day: Scale Reading first thing today before getting dressed. / Goals met ✏️☣️🎯💓/ Comment

    9/14/25: 221.7 SW from end of previous round.

    10/8: Fishing
    10/9: Fishing

    10/10: 222.2
    💓
    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.

    10/11: 222.2
    ✏️
    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.

    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.

    10/14: 219.4
    ✏️☣️💓
    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.

    10/15: 220.4
    ✏️☣️🎯💓
    Good day yesterday. We winterized our beloved screened-in porch. Always sad, because it needs to be done while weather is still good enough to keep using it. Otherwise it’s miserable. The rug needs to be bone dry so we can roll it up and put it in the basement. Pulled the furniture out and cleaned it. Hosed down the floor, and screens. Put the table in the basement. Now the porch is able to be used, but not as cozy.

    I followed up with a long bike ride. Technically my weight should be down, but I am currently a container.

    10/16: 220.8
    ✏️☣️🎯💓
    I returned to the gym for my group fitness after a long travel hiatus. It was good to try on some of those muscles I had quit using. HA!

    Much salt yesterday.

    10/17: 221.8
    ✏️☣️🎯💓
    All goals met, yet my reward was this one pound jump up. I didn’t feel well yesterday and am not really better this morning. Still sitting here as a container. I need a digestion reset.

    I really can’t complain about results this round since I put myself into such a hole on the fishing trip.

    I notice that many of us feel a bit under the weather….

    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.

    10/13 – 128.8 Yesterday was not perfect. I did track everything, and would have hit my numbers but while visiting mom at ALF there was a birthday and the family handed all of us in the dining room slices of birthday cake. I only ate the frosting and tracked roughly ¼ cup of frosting. Holely moley, estimates are like 340 calories. That ruined my numbers. My other “failure” was my walk. I did not know that yesterday was going to become a rainy day. I should have walked in the morning. But I did track, and I did not eat after dinner, so those were good!

    10/14 – 129.2

    10/15 – 129.2 Did not make it to my computer to check in yesterday, though I continue to be good about stepping on the scale. Driving DH and MIL to airport as every October Frank brings his mom back to Florida for the season. He’ll be gone 10 days, and I need to NOT resort to ice cream for dinner for those 10 days as I have done in the past. Must… eat… real… food. Oh, and yes, today is our 42nd anniversary!!

    10/16 – 128.8 absolute miracle!!

    10/17 – 129.4 So my actions this round were not as I hoped, but I survived and did not gain. Survived anniversary this round. Next round includes 64th bday.

Got on scale without thinking and THAT woke me up! I didn’t think I’d eaten THAT bad yesterday but my last meal WAS very very late again. Indigestion all night. Shocked this morning but as long as I weigh, I share. Stomach feels hard. What’s in there? Gas bloat? Water retention? Baby? HA! That’s certainly what it feels like to the touch. Anyhow, getting DGS off the bus today and 4 day weekend begins with him and foodie daughter. I have absolutely ZERO interest in what’s in her totes and backpack. Nothing is helping this indigestion, not even my prescription for it. I know I did not eat an extra 17,500 calories so I’m quite sure some of this will come off in the next couple of days. I haven’t exercised in the past couple of days either, so back to that and all the good habits and tools.

    🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 10/17-182.0 ✅ (Trend Weight: 183.7) I decided to weigh on Friday this week anyway as our round was ending and I didn’t want to leave it at the travel bloat of yesterday. Quite the drop today, just as it was quite the overnight increase. I may actually be a bit higher due to the late weigh-in and some possible dehydration, but suffice it to say, “bye bye bloat”. As it stands, down 2.8 this round. See you all in 312.

    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! 

    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?

    10/15: 177.4 📉

    10/16: 177.0 📉Okay, I might make my goal for the round. 🤞Not feeling great. I’m hoping I am not coming down with something before our vacation starts on Saturday. With taking care of my mom (who has a virus of some kind), my sister who caught COVID at the hospital while with my mom, and my brother who is also sick (due to the same thing)…well, I’m just hoping that my COVID/flu shots I got the week before get me through this. Ugh! Lots to do today. I’m supposed to have tap class, but we’ll see if I’m up for it. 🤷‍♀️

    10/17: 176.7 📉🎯Reached my goal for the round. I’m going on vacation and just hoping to maintain upon my return. I don’t know if I will post anything while I’m gone, but I hope to check in and read everyone’s updates. I think the good news is…I don’t think I got sick with what my siblings have. 👍🏻 We’re also going to try and rent some bikes at least one day on our trip. That will be fun. Other than that, it’s a lot of walking around. See you all on the next round!
