Just Give Me 10 Days Round 312
Round 312 18–27 Oct 2025
Please join us starting on 18 October for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 312
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 👍👍.
I'm always going to post the new round on the last morning (for me in the UK) of the old round - that way everyone will always know exactly when it will drop, hope that makes sense to all my friends out there.

Who said the deep south doesn’t have fall colors? Love me some Cypress! Not as vibrant as other parts of the country, but still brought joy to my heart while trekking this morning!

🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 312 (my 242nd).
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".
10/17 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.

Yesterday was almost a complete failure when it came to proper attitude about health. I didn’t log yesterday’s food until this morning (I think I remembered it all.) Portion sizes fell into the “this might be my last meal” category. I mindlessly munched the candy at the barber shop (as is my custom for 30 years. UPF foul.) I did get some really good exercise in. And to top it off, my digestion system is asleep at the wheel.Welcome to a new round!

10/27Historical 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.

10/18 174.2 At least it is down from yesterday but I certainly have work to do. My clothes felt uncomfortable yesterday and my body felt big. I was not comfortable.
I didn’t get lost in the feeling. I did reflect on the fact that I felt darn near dainty at 175 after being at 176-179 range for months.
So why does 175 make me feel like a monster after a few weeks 172-174 range?
I am working on not judging my body as good or bad based on the scale going up or down. I’m still having the feelings and reactions but I want to recognize the feelings and just let them go instead of carrying them around.
My body is not inherently good or bad. Nor is it defined only by a number on a scale.
It’s so complicated to be working on accepting myself exactly as I am while also working on improving myself.

@Skyleen75 such wisdom for Saturday morning… I feel you through this post. I’m thinking about a borrowed post I shared a few days ago from Dan Go, paraphrasing “a psychological journey disguised as a physical journey”. Your journal nails it. Thank you. You got this. I’m with you.
Thanks y’all for the BD wishes- I thought I slipped my big day in there without too much fanfare. @Skyleen75 @musicsax @itladyee @deepwoodslady We are celebrating tonight.2 -

10/18 got up WAY too early this morning & then forgot to weigh. (I raced to turn on a tennis match and got lost in the match!) Enjoyed 🚶♀️💗5 mi WV trek. Tucker, soccer, late burgers (no bun). Positive day. Inexplicable ailing shoulder & wrist so I did not 🏋️♀️. Will try today. A celebratory dinner tonight – planning ahead. I’m trying not to beat myself up for not being able to lose 2 to 3 pounds… What gives? 10/2024 @ 128lbs for a solid few mos. 10/2023 @ 131lbs same. Now is the time. I realize that it’s not that “big of a deal” - it’s more the mental gymnastics & challenge just to “BE” where I am the most comfortable & confident. Want to reduce BF% and build strength on this journey. Want to avoid the “roller coaster” 🎢. Good luck to everyone this round!

Wow—I forgot to log in the past two days, but here I am. 😊 This afternoon I’m planting bulbs for a friend who has recently moved to an assisted living cottage. I’m afraid she has probably ordered a lot of bulbs—I can almost feel my sore muscle already! I really hurt after planting my own last week, which shows I need to move my butt—literally—more. Anyway, it’s a beautiful day, so it will be nice. I thought I’d share this cute little girl beanie I knit to donate to our holiday fair fundraiser. I may have to do another—quick and easy and so cute! Have a lovely weekend, all!

ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 182.0
🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃10/18-182.4 ❌ (Trend Weight – 183.6) I’m starting the round 0.4 up from yesterday but I think this is just a fluid adjustment after such a large drop yesterday (5.2 lbs overnight!) Trend weight continues to go down and I’m feeling pretty good. I may be traveling today with DD and DGS a couple of hours each way to do some Halloween shopping for costumes and such. Up, up, up will go the water weight if we go. The fluid retention seems to be getting worse when I travel. I’ll have to talk to my cardiologist about that. My appt is in December.

Round 312
Oct 18-27, 2025
Female, 54, 5”1’
HW: 209.5 **was higher but I just didn’t get on the scales
RSW: 197.0
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:
- Check in every day.
- Weigh in every day.
- Drink my water every day.
- Get my step count up to 10k daily
👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE
10/18 – 196.6 glad to see 196 again. Had a non scale victory today. I am wearing a pair of pants that I haven’t been able to wear in almost a year, and they are comfortable!!!

🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 312 (my 242nd).
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".
10/17 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.
SW Rnd 312 DNW
10/18 DNW – 13.32 miles walked yesterday along the canal towpath to Melksham, today we head in the other direction to Devizes.
10/19 DNW – 10.68 miles walked, it was a wonderful walk along the tow path at the side of Caen Hill flight of locks in the magnificent autumnal tree colours.

Yesterday was almost a complete failure when it came to proper attitude about health. I didn’t log yesterday’s food until this morning (I think I remembered it all.) Portion sizes fell into the “this might be my last meal” category. I mindlessly munched the candy at the barber shop (as is my custom for 30 years. UPF foul.) I did get some really good exercise in. And to top it off, my digestion system is asleep at the wheel.Welcome to a new round!

@itladyee I suspect the rogue remote is about to become a new chew toy!!!
@Chapter_3 I’ve been listening to different podcasts that are focusing on improving our experiences as who we are instead of trying to change who we fundamentally are. Embracing our uniqueness. Recognizing the same in others without judgement.lol only for about 20 minutes and then I want the distraction of gossipy humor or oddball stories from history!!! I can’t be all deep and introspective for too long.

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.SW Rnd 312

**********
10/18 got up too early this morning & then forgot to weigh. (I raced to turn on a tennis match and got lost in the match!) Enjoyed 🚶♀️💗5 mi WV trek. Tucker, soccer, late burgers (no bun). Positive day. Inexplicable ailing shoulder & wrist so I did not 🏋️♀️. Will try today. A celebratory dinner tonight – planning ahead. I’m trying not to beat myself up for not being able to lose 2 to 3 pounds… What gives? 10/2024 @ 128lbs for a solid few mos . 10/2023 @ 131lbs same . Now is the time. I realize that it’s not that big of a deal - it’s more the mental gymnastics & challenge just to “BE” where I am the most comfortable & confident. Want to reduce BF% and building strength on this journey. Good luck to everyone this round!
10/19 same as yesterday.… I got up to watch a tennis match AGAIN at 4AM and DNW. Yesterday: only 🚶♀️7k - perfect nutrition until dinner. Splurged & ordered butternut squash risotto with brown butter. At least I ate only half. Divine. Reminded me of how much I love food. I really, really LOVE FOOD. ok, ok…Back to mindful discipline. Ready to nail the next eight days!
*** saw an interesting take yesterday on how to “reframe” “goals”. Instead of, “my goal is to lose 2 pounds… “ or “goal is to work out twice this week”. Think of it as: I have DECIDED to lose 2 lbs and work out twice this week. Reframing “goals” as “decisions” changes your mindset & actions. I’ve “decided” to implement this “nuance” moving forward! ONWARD! #HSF #MindBodySoul
