    10/23: 207 (wasn't expecting a big gain today. It must have something to do with salt. I know I'm also dehydrated. Hopefully it will level out tomorrow. Tonight we have guests coming over for dinner and bingo night. I'm excited to cook! I'm going to even make some bread rolls from scratch today. Looking forward to it!)

    10/18-137-Baked a chicken and I ate all I wanted along with some chard. Today is. Church meeting then pot luck an I’m bringing these little sandwiches made out of crescent rolls and broccoli salad. Playing pickle ball first and bringing my protein drink so I don’t show up to the meeting/potluck famished.
    10/20-DNW-Sort of ate whatever I wanted to this weekend and it’s going to take me a couple of days to get back to where I was.

    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:

    1. Check in every day.
    2. Weigh in every day.
    3. Drink my water every day.
    4. 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….

    10/23 – 195.8 – finally some movement down. Was expecting another gain. Very happy to see I was wrong. Spent the day going through my office. Today is going to be a cleaning day.

    10/18 - DNW

    10/19 - DNW

    10/20 - 169.5

    10/21 - 168.6

    10/22 - 169.6

    10/23 - 168.5 - Bodies are weird. I'm glad it dropped back down without issue this morning. I had a wake-up call yesterday when I took the time to measure my hips to see if some riding pants (motorcycle) would fit. I've gained 2 inches on my bum/hips! I know it can't be muscle because I haven't been working out much these last 2 months due to my shoulder injury and travel. I need to kick it into high gear. I had an argument with myself in bed after my alarm went off this morning which resulted in me visualizing my workout. My argument was that I was up later than usual (20 minutes), I didn't have a workout planned (I had a framework, hence the visualization), and I was going to be out of the gym next week (Wednesday-Friday and then the following Monday-Tuesday) so why stay consistent this week (this is exactly why I need to be consistent this week). I won (yippee) and ended up at the gym. I'm not sure what my plan is for lunch today other than I have a spinach salad to use up the last of the spinach in the fridge (going bad quickly). Dinner is logged and I have plenty of room to figure out the rest of lunch plus snacks today. I was 2oz shy of my water goal yesterday but that was with me chugging 16oz (2 cups) before bed! I need to hit 50oz by lunch I think. I'm about 12oz shy of it every day and leads me to drinking 8-16oz just before bed so I think drinking this by late morning will help offset the last minute intake which leads to 1-2 wakeups in the night.

    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? 

    10/22 - 198.3
    Yep, the residuals from Monday. Tomorrow will look better.

    Starting Weight 173.3 lbs.

    Goal Weight: 136 lbs.

    Round 311 End Weight: 168.9 lbs. (loss of 4.4 lbs.)

    Round 312 Goals: Treadmill workouts 3-4/week

    10/18 - 168.2 Busy weekend ahead, won't have any time to relax, at least I'll get my steps in!

    10/19 - 168.0 Family day, did 101 things, it was a good day

    10/20 - 167.9 Looking forward to a slower day tomorrow, hope to find some "me" time to get a workout in and plant some bulbs

    10/21 - 167.3

    10/22 - 167.8

    10/23 - 167.3 Weird little bounce up and then back down the past couple of days - no reason for it, just normal body fluctuations, I guess. I'm crazy busy, not enough hours in the day, and on more than one big projects, so my attention is constantly being split and will be this way for a few more weeks. I am focusing on what I can for now weight loss wise, which is eating in a deficit and getting in my steps, workouts will have to wait.

    Day/Weight/Comment

    ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 182.0

    10/18-182.4 ❌ (Trend Weight – 183.6)

    10/19-185.2 ❌ (Trend Weight: 183.7)

    10/20-183.4 ✅ (Trend Weight: 183.7)

    10/21-185.2 ❌ (Trend Weight: 183.8)

    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….

    🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 10/23-186.4 ❌ (Trend Weight: 184.2) I went out for that dinner with friend yesterday to try the new menu option(s). I am full of regret today. Weight is really up for the week and the food was not worth it. In fact, it wasn’t even that good. It also interfered with my normal exercise time so my whole day was just unproductive and did absolutely nothing to further my dreams or my goals. DD and DGS arrive today starting with the school bus at 3:30. They will be here an extra day this week and won’t be leaving until Monday night. If nothing else came out of this, I hope, at the very least, that saying “no” to all the things in DD’s totes and backpack will be easier this weekend based on how I feel in this moment.

    10/24-xxxxx (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

    10/25-xxxxx (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

    10/26-xxxxx (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

    10/27-xxxxx- (Trend Weight: xxxxx)

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    Everyone:

    I'm looking for some book recommendations for the book club I joined. They would like one suggestion from each member. @UTMom81 mentioned a favorite author Fredrick Backman. Do you have a favorite? Anyone else have any suggestions? I'm not sure which books have already been read in their 10 yr history, but I'd like to have a few titles on hand to submit. Thanks for any help.

    🎷 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.

    image-a9e6b89ab3a61-aaea.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".

    10/17 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, used as film sets for Harry Potter, Cranmore, Pride & Prejudice & more.

    10/21 DNW – 13.01 miles walked, we donned our waterproofs & 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.

    10/24 141 – (trend 141.9) just short of 5 mile walked yesterday in a short none rainy, windy, stormy day.

    66 year-old Mimi who loves being outside. Retired except for Mimicare for the grands a couple days a week and after school pickup.Highest Weight: 213 (in ~2005)
    Lowest Weight: 143 (in ~2019)
    Goal Weight: Dr. Says she’s happy when I’m around 150, but I wouldn’t mind being more like 147-150 in maintenance.

    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.
    10/22–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.
    10/24–158.2 Mexican last night did me in even though I tried to be careful. Hopefully, some of this is water and it will go back down tomorrow. Too many carbs the last 3 days--who am I kidding—the last few months. This is where I have to get control.

    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


    SW Rnd 312 - 129.8
    RGW - 127.8

    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.


    10/23 - 128.6 📝🏃🏻‍♀️🚫 I tracked fairly well yesterday, enough for my daily badge but I’d like to do better. I got a workout in this morning but then had Indian food for lunch with a friend. It had been a long time and I’d be lying if I said I held back 😳 Going with my lightest dinner plan from the week’s menu tonight but will still end up over calories. However! I. Will. Track.


    10/24 - 128.4 📝🏃🏻‍♀️🚫 My dinner wasn’t very light as it turned out. Lots of oil in the Korean chicken dish I made. But I tracked it as well as I could and it looks like my total was around maintenance after all. Today will be a bit challenging as I’m substituting this morning, and my mom will be here when the kids get out of school. Maybe she’ll let me sneak off for some exercise. Then tonight DH and I are going on a date (free sitter so why wouldn’t we?!) so there will be challenges there.

    @jrago47 Cheering you on! Onederland is in sight. It’s lovely that you take pleasure in hosting for others!

    @UTMom81 River looks like he’s growing into a big sweet goofball!

    @_JeffreyD_ Taking notes, lesson one- no stress on the “might”. As for part two- that is the part I keep working on!

    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 311 End Weight 175.2

    10/18 174.2
    10/19 174.2 
    10/20 DNW
    10/21 173.2
    10/22 172.6
    10/23 172.2

    10/23 172.2 I’m happy with this. Skipped 5:30 bootcamp this morning. Workouts are on the back burner through next week. It’s hard for me to push exercise out of the forefront but I need my energy to finish up my garden season.

    I usually work full time til Thanksgiving and then a scattering of projects until hard frost and serious snow.

    This year I have a hard cut off the first week of November as I am flying to Japan for two weeks on the 9th. Super excited but also it is INTENSE to have to be this hyper focused at the end of the season.

    I’ll still do my projects when I get back but I have to be 99% done with work before I go.

    I should not be sitting here in my pj’s drinking coffee right now!!!!

    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.

    ✏️🎯💓
    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.

    10/22: 219.0

    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.

    10/23: 219.8
    ✏️☣️🎯💓
    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!

Playing pickle ball first and bringing my protein drink so I don’t show up to the meeting/potluck famished.

    @Chapter_3 -Wonderful “serious pill “post. My girlfriend who has been widowed for 15 years was married to a teacher/coach and his funeral was large. We went to see her right after the funeral and she said, “Where are all the people?”, as she stood in her front yard…..That has never left my mind. We have had a lot of heart to heart talks and the thing that has helped her most was people sharing memories of her husband, acknowledging the fact that he is gone. You did the right thing and I never knew how important this is in the healing process. Bless your heart and thank you for the peaceful fishing picture.💚

    Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 312
    Oct 18 - 27, 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: 129.4

    10/18 – 130.4

    10/19 – 130.4

    10/20 – 130.2 I did not want to cross 130 anymore. I just can’t get my focus back. Pretty sure this happened with DD’s wedding back in 2017, but that does not make it a good idea.

    10/21 – 130.4

    10/22 – 130.8

    10/23 – 130.2 At least I am stepping on the scale…..

    10/24 – 129.8 Grateful to see a number under 130. Going to focus on simply staying under this through the rest of this round.

    Jane 50+ 5'5

    Starting Weight 173.3 lbs.

    Goal Weight: 136 lbs.

    Round 311 End Weight: 168.9 lbs. (loss of 4.4 lbs.)

    Round 312 Goals: Treadmill workouts 3-4/week

    10/18 - 168.2 Busy weekend ahead, won't have any time to relax, at least I'll get my steps in!

    10/19 - 168.0 Family day, did 101 things, it was a good day

    10/20 - 167.9 Looking forward to a slower day tomorrow, hope to find some "me" time to get a workout in and plant some bulbs

    10/21 - 167.3

    10/22 - 167.8

    10/23 - 167.3 Weird little bounce up and then back down the past couple of days - no reason for it, just normal body fluctuations, I guess. I'm crazy busy, not enough hours in the day, and on more than one big projects, so my attention is constantly being split and will be this way for a few more weeks. I am focusing on what I can for now weight loss wise, which is eating in a deficit and getting in my steps, workouts will have to wait.

It was so fun. My husband and I love hosting. I'm happy with a loss on the scale today. I am hoping I see a loss at the end of this round. We're having pizza on Saturday so Sunday's weigh in might be up. I'll try my best!
