🎷 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.

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.

10/20 DNW - a very wet day, so we visited Lacock Abbey & village, very pretty, use as film sets for Harry Potter, Cranmore, Pride & Prejudice & more.

10/21 DNW -13.01 miles walked, we donned our waterproofs and braved the rain, luckily there was not too much!

@Chapter_3 Great shot of Tucker in action!!! And a big heck yes to reinvention. We are complex creatures.

Welcome back @UTMom81 and @mochasmommie7193

@deepwoodslady I feel like I blinked this summer and you lost 10lbs. Your tenacity is inspiring. It takes real commitment to health to get through it.

10/21 173.2 I’m fighting the good fight to make my last round just a blip on my graph. It stinks, I’d rather eat cider donuts.

I did get a bit snacky after dinner but kept it to a small serving of trail mix. I have ingredients prepped for protein packed big salad dinners the next few nights.

As the temperature drops I made a game plan to finish 90% of my clients within the next two weeks while squeezing in two small projects I couldn’t say no to. I’m not ready for the season to be over this year but it’s coming quick!

Boxing tonight, only one more week until we break until January. It’s hard to get there after a long day but I’m always so happy I did.

Hello JGMTD friends. I’m back! I’ve thought about you a lot over the last months, but haven’t really been tracking much since March. Therefore, I’m up 6 pounds since we last chatted. But I’m back and making the commitment to track and check in. Those are my goals for this round—simply to get back in the groove with food, exercise, and checking in here.

EW Round 289 (March 2025): 151.4
SW Round 312: 157.4

10/20—157.4 Spent a wonderful fall weekend in the NC mountains with DD and her family.
10/21—156.6 Lots of walking with my little buddy, River— 6+ miles and 14K+ steps. Nutrition was good with 100g protein.

**********

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

10/20 133.0

➡️The older I get, the more I realize you can reinvent yourself as many times as you need. New habits. New mindsets. New standards. New people. You’re never stuck. You’re allowed to change. Today, tomorrow, and as many times as it takes to create the life you want. Happy Monday! ONWARD! #HSF #MindBodySoul

10/21 132.8 Big day. Ate less than 1000 cal w/ 98 Pg just because I didn’t eat till 2pm & dinner @ 6pm . Full. 🏋️‍♀️45 min @ gym with ST class ,🚶‍♀️💗 45 min, 🎾90 min. I slept 8 hrs!!!! My body is a “good” sore this morning. Onward!

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!

Packed day yesterday. Got to spend some time with Grands at the local pumpkin farm / animal petting place. 23 month old DGD loved it! Chinese take-out afterward kind of ruined the goals. I think I can climb back on the wagon today. HA!

10/21: 220.4
✏️☣️🎯💓
Amazing what can happen with effort.

Confession: I am surrounded by (and judgmental of) family members who are paying a high price for their poor health decisions. They are thriving rent-free in my head as I think about ways of taking control of their situations. What a fool I am! How about if I just keep my eyes on the mirror and take control of THAT situation?

P.S. I will avoid the rear-view-mirror.

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.

Starting Weight: 207 Round 312

SW: 216 GW: 165

10/21/2025 - 207 I redid my workout and food plans over the weekend and yesterday got my first workout in. Before Covid, I used to go to the gym and workout with heavy weights about 2 to 3 days a week and do a fitness class (Les Mills Body Pump) every Tuesday and Thursday evening. When I look back on pictures of me then, I can't believe how in shape I was but I didn't see it then. I would love to get back to that! Once Covid hit and the gyms shut down, I bought a squat rack and weights for my home and started working out in the garage. I also signed up for Les Mills on demand so I could continue the body pump classes. Unfortunately, I never stuck to it and the weight slowly came back on. It gets really hot in my garage (Florida here) so I haven't used it much but am determined to get back at it! Yesterday was my first heavy weight session and I am feeling it today and I know it will be even worse tomorrow, lol! I miss working out and I have let the length of time and extra weight I gained intimidate me from starting again. Today is Tuesday so I plan on doing a body pump session once I get home from work.

I LOVE THIS. ❤️ and needed to hear this!! Aproaching 65 in a few days and not sure what I feel!!

@majork29 ~ Great progress!

@_JeffreyD_ Great looking family!

Welcome back @UTMom81 and @mochasmommie7193

@UTMom81 ~ Lola is a handful but, I have nothing but time 😍 Awe… look at River! Lola has her final shots this Friday, then we can go for walks. I hoping that I am successful walking with her than I was with my previous puggle. He had to stop and mark every tree, with poop…. Come on Lola, I'm banking on you! :)

@deepwoodslady ~ Way to catch up with that trend weight! Great job!

RSW: 197.0
RGW: 195

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 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!!!

10/19 – 195.8 – wow, didn’t see this coming. Yesterday was a good day. Ended up chatting with an old co-worker, we agreed to keep in better contact. I am so happy with myself. I didn’t have any junk food yesterday.

10/20 – 194.8 – wow again not sure that I believe that this is real. Last night I worked the Halloween Spooktacular. Had a good time watching the young kids run and laugh at all the displays. I will be working it again on Friday night.

10/21 – 195.4 – up today but still down for the week. I worked the municipal election last night as a counter. We were down by midnight. I didn’t sleep that well after getting home so today is going to be a very chill day.

Date, Trend Weight, Comments

10/18 - 198.1
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!

10/19 - 198.1
We finally are getting some rain—yay! Good day to make the soup I’ve been threatening to make for a while, but it just wasn’t soup weather. Going with veggie soup with lots of veggies and some red lentil rotini for protein. I like to freeze & bag “soup muffins” to pull out and microwave for quick, low-cal lunches. DH and I planted about 80 bulbs yesterday for our friends—wasn’t too bad with the drill bit made for that, although we were both whipped when we got home! I hope you’re all having a great weekend!

10/20 - 198.1
Happy Monday, everyone!

10/21 - 198.2
I went off the rails a bit yesterday—it was my weekly brunch & knitting day with a friend. My breakfast out was on track—scrambled eggs and a chicken sausage—but later my friend tied me down and force fed me a sticky bun. 😂 Then DH brought home an apple pie, and dinner was more caloric than usual. Oh, well, days happen, right?
