**********
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!
10/22 132.6. Good day. Not perfect w/macros but under maintenance in cals. Body was “good sore” all day. 🎾 this morning & will fuel with “premium” octane. I do know this: I’ve decided to focus more on strength, agility and mobility because i’m noticing how stiff I am…. Really STIFF. I’m simply not making the progress in that domain that I “want” because of inconsistency. (a little bit here, a little bit there). I’m not being hard on myself; I’m being honest. Never too late! #HSF #MindBodySoul

Final “health club” decision made: I’ve decided to keep both clubs through April/May. Primarily because of relationships and commitments. Will give myself time to get to know the new club / new tennis culture while honoring my commitments to my current club tennis mates. DONE!

@Skyleen75
I’ve “decided” to borrow some of your energy & wisdom this morning!@_JeffreyD_ Thank you for reminding me to NOT choose to dwell on other person‘s health (son) … I have enough on my hands! Prayer does work.
Group: MFP is still bouncing around for me so I will go back a few days - it’s obvious that I’ve missed some of your entries. Good luck to all - let’s finish strong!

Date, Trend Weight, Comments10/18 - 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?
10/22 - 198.3
Yep, the residuals from Monday. Tomorrow will look better.

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: 140I’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 done by midnight. I didn’t sleep that well after getting home so today is going to be a very chill day.
10/22 – 196.0 – up again but still down for the round. Yesterday was almost a complete waste. I felt hung over all day. Being up and out until after midnight is killer now. Of course, yesterday all I did was nibble on things that I shouldn’t nibble on. I really don’t want to step on the scales tomorrow….

10/20-183.4 ✅ (Trend Weight: 183.7)
10/21-185.2 ❌ (Trend Weight: 183.8) Dang, dang and triple dang! Last night at 6:00 pm I went to the book club meeting and a birthday girl brought dinner and cupcakes for us all. Another brought cute little boxes filled with home baked goods. The meal wasn’t any bigger than a “normal” non-dieting person would eat. However, way to many calories and carbs for my plan right now. It’s amazing how I can slide up & down between 181.X and 185.X so easily. I truly hate that a “regular meal” can do this much damage although I know all the reasons for it. I’m not stepping out of my house today (except maybe to plant a few bulbs). No stores, absolutely no restaurants although I must admit that I have a dinner date with a friend tomorrow for a restaurant with something new on the menu that everyone is raving about. Nothing fancy but something I haven’t had in years. We’ll see how I feel about it after weighing in tomorrow. I hate to cancel last minute but I will reschedule if that scale doesn’t go down some in the morning.
🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 10/22-184.6 ✅ (Trend Weight: 183.9) Yesterday was one of those horrific sugar craving days where I had to pour a little sugar on a saucer and dip my wet finger into it every now and then to keep from bingeing on anything I could dig up that’s sweet (or drive to buy it). Sometimes I have to use the finger dip with salt too. It just depends on the cravings. Back in my 253 lb days I would have just simply eaten a whole tsp or TBSP strait off the spoon to fulfill my need. I have retrained myself over the years to just a wet fingertip amount. Progress….

I’m Amanda, 5’2” 40F in Appalachian Virginia. Hopping in late after a very off-track few days!
Non-scale goals (tracked for prior day for remaining days of this round):
🏃🏻♀️ Intentional movement 6/8 days
🚫 No alcohol 6/8 days
📝 Track 4/8 days

10/18 - 130.2
10/19 - DNW
10/20 - 131.6
10/21 - 130.8 🏃🏻♀️🚫 Whew, what a few days it’s been. Fall break meant being completely shaken from my routines and apparently forgetting my health-related goals too. Overall it was fun but I’m happy to be back in the middle of the week. I got off to a good start with grocery shopping, working out, and walking the dogs. I’ve also tracked everything from today! I’m posting way later than normal because I was typing this I got a call that my 6yo had smashed his mouth during recess. Took him for X-rays and thankfully the damage is superficial - 4 new loose baby teeth and a fat lip. Was a bit of a routine disruptor but I managed to cook dinner despite temptation to phone it in after dealing with that! Anyway, happy to be back with yall! I’m going to be consistent for the rest of this round, darn it!
10/22 - 129.4 📝🏃🏻♀️🚫 Wahoo, finally get to use my tracking emoji! Took the dogs for a hike this morning for my exercise. We’re past fall peak here but there were still a lot of nice glimmers of color. My main goal today is to drink enough water to get everything moving through me.

@Chapter_3 your reflection on reinvention reminded me of a quote I just read in “My Friends” by Fredrick Backman (heartbreaking but beautiful book):
Don’t be ashamed to be a human being, be proud!
Inside you, one vault after another opens endlessly.
You’ll never be complete, and that’s as it should be.Tomas Tranströmer, “Romanesque Arches”, 1989

10/18- DNW10/19- DNW10/20- 169.510/21- 168.610/22- 169.6 - I'm not sure why I'm up. I hit my step goal, ate within deficit (macros slightly off - under on fats, over on carbs, good on protein - same situation today it looks like), and hit my water goal. I'm going to take it in stride knowing I'm doing my best and as long as I stick to my goals, I'll see progress. Gym this morning despite feeling super groggy (woke up mid dream) and did a very light and easy back day. My first time training back since I dislocated and fractured my shoulder. It was tough and there was a bit of soreness/crankiness (partly due to being stiff first thing in the morning) but I listened to my body and didn't overdo it. Feeling much better now and glad I went.2 -

Goal Weight: Dr. Says she’s happy when I’m around 150, but I wouldn’t mind being more like 147-150 in maintenance (if I ever get there!)
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: 157.410/20—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.
10/22–No scales—closed out the camper in the NC mountains today so was unable to weigh. Got in 9k+ steps yesterday in spite of a long car ride. Didn’t eat like I should have but it wasn’t terrible. Back to it in the 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.
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!10/22 141.8 – pleased with this number as last weigh before we went away was 144. No structured walking as yesterday we were travelling the almost 3 hours journey home (traffic accident meant we had to make a 20 mile detour with the caravan) then unpacking, washing, cleaning the ‘van etc.
10/23 141.8 – 12.48 miles walked, a very good food day.

@_JeffreyD_ I’m taking that one, let’s see how many times I use it before DH catches on and throttles me!!!
@itladyee Hahaha, Like Lola I also need to put everything in my mouth!!!
@pezhed Oh that quote just hits hard.

@pezhed I'm so thankful those loose teeth were baby teeth still, but I know that was scary! Glad it worked out pretty much ok. Oh, and Fredrick Backman is one of my very favorite authors. I love all this books!
@SheilaBoneham It's so good to see you here again. Don't you just hate it when those mean people in our lives ties us down and force feed us carbs?! Anyway, bet your gardens were gorgeous this summer. Hate we missed them.

Goal Weight: Dr. Says she’s happy when I’m around 150, but I wouldn’t mind being more like 147-150 in maintenance (if I ever get there!)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: 157.410/20—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.
10/22–No scales—closed out the camper in the NC mountains today so was unable to weigh. Got in 9k+ steps yesterday in spite of a long car ride. Didn’t eat like I should have but it wasn’t terrible. Back to it in the morning.
10/23—157.8 Back home this morning and planning a better nutrition day for today than the last two travel days.

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

➡️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!
10/22 132.6 Good day. Not perfect w/macros but under maintenance in cals. Body was “good sore” all day. 🎾 this morning & will fuel with “premium” octane. I do know this: I’ve decided to focus more on strength, agility and mobility because i’m noticing how stiff I am…. Really STIFF. I’m simply not making the progress in that domain that I “want” because of inconsistency. (a little bit here, a little bit there). I’m not being hard on myself; I’m being honest. Never too late! #HSF #MindBodySoul
10/23 132.6 ✅ Good day yesterday. One last Birthday dinner for us tonight w/ my siblings. (It’s been a big food month!) Will plan nutrition accordingly. Also, today is 🚶♀️💗5mi WV & 🏋️♀️🤸🏼mobility day.
NSV /Epiphany: 📖 My daily reading/ reflections/ prayer consistently serve as my most powerful centering, self-acceptance AND motivational health journey tool. While the scale is not exactly where I want it to be this morning, I know I’m on the right path. I have a partner and the finest personal trainer in all creation ✝️. #MindBodySoul #HSF

10/22 172.610/23 172.2 I forgot about a commitment I had for the evening and it threw off the end of my day. I ate cookies for dinner, six big sugar cookies and got a tummy ache. They stopped tasting good after two but I ate four more.
How dramatic I am, if the day wasn’t going to go exactly as planned, I’m going to throw my food plan out of the window. Ridiculous.
Now because I under ate yesterday and didn’t fuel my body and brain I need to give myself a bigger early day meal. A chicken salad sandwich for breakfast should do the trick. Protein, carbs, fat and fiber.
I almost placed another bulb order for myself this morning. I placed my first order last Spring to fill in some holes, my second in July when I was ordering for clients, my third in September when I made myself a new garden bed…
Now it’s the last minute sales and good deals on oddballs that I just want to try for future possibile gardens. What’s the difference between 2000 bulbs and 2200 bulbs???? lol that number sounds high but about 1500 are grape hyacinths, squill and crocus that are going in mass in a giant empty bed- no digging required!!!!

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.

Pitiful exercise yesterday…I had prostate cancer treatment 2.5 years ago. All was good until the latest PSA test. It looks like there is still a leftover trace of it growing. On to the next chapter. I don’t intend to make this an ongoing topic here; it’s just fresh on my mind this morning. God is good no matter what.

I typed the 10/22 entry and forgot to post it I think…Yesterday was good except for a couple moments of weakness, late in the day. I saw some scans of my grandchild number three!

@Skyleen75 HA! Saying "you might be right" has two ingredients.
1) saying it nicely without sarcasm.
2) leaving a bit of room for you to actually believe they might be right (I know that is a rare ingredient.)
This goes along with another of my favorite sayings, "I can be right or I can be happy." It has given me serenity many times.
All of the above is important when choosing which hill to die on. We don't want to find you body after the snow melt lying peacefully among the blooming crocus and hyacinth.
