    @musicsax You are quietly “leveling down” and I know that 139.x is a HUGE deal… Congratulations and keep it up!

    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.

    10/24 – DNW was sick all day

    10/25 – 193.8 – this would be an awesome loss if it were real. But I ate almost nothing yesterday. I have not been that sick in a long time. Still not feeling that great.

    10/26 – 193.4 – still thinking this could just be because of being sick. Was feeling better yesterday but still not great. Woke up again this morning with a headache.

    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)

    10/23-186.4 ❌ (Trend Weight: 184.2)

    10/24-DNW (Trend Weight: DNW)

    10/25-184.6 ✅ (Trend Weight: 184.2) Down from last weigh-in so there’s that. Yesterday was not a shining moment in this round. I was definitely influenced by my DD but it’s me that needs to keep my hands in my pockets. She doesn’t push anything on me or even encourage me. We’ve had our talks and I will definitely have to take the blame. The day before was really good and probably saved me. I’m planning a good day today but feel like I need to carefully plan. I just can’t let hunger become an issue when the answer is food and all the bad foods are all around me and well within my reach on weekends. Good decisions are my plan.

    🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 10/26-184.6 ↔️ (Trend Weight: 184.2) I need to stop dipping into all the Halloween goodies. My addiction is sugar and addiction is often very ugly. The good thing is that my meals continue to be good or I would really be doomed. I don’t need a daylight to dark plan. I need a daylight THROUGH dark plan. I’m eating this garbage late at night after a healthy compliant day. Double Whammy! Definitely some self-sabotage sprinkled in with addictive cravings. What a way to undo such carefully planned great days!

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

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

    I’m back, ready to go. 

    Goals for the rest of 2025

    • Eat mindfully. 🍎
    • Regain regular exercise habit beyond gardening. Walk! 👟
    • Check in here daily. ✏️

    Trend Weight starting back 10/7 was 199.7; end of last round — R311, 198.4

    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? 

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

    10/23 - 198.3

    10/24 - 198.1
    Well, the drop in trend weight isn’t as dramatic as weigh-in weight, but it’s going the right direction! I started using a chair yoga app—this is day 4–and though it’s hard to believe, I think I feel better already. That’s probably from making the start rather than the 15 min of exercises, but it’s something! I’m also much more energized to walk now that the weather is cool. Some of you may recall that I used to walk 5-8 miles most days. I’ve been afraid to go for my long walks as I’ve wrestled with some gut issues over the past few years, but I think that’s finally getting better, too. Anyway, I do read your posts, and I really appreciate the openness and supportiveness of this lovely group. ❤️

    10/25 - 197.8
    We had our first frost last night, so it’s well and truly garden cleanup season. I may get started today, although I have a rare urge to go shopping. I generally dislike shopping, so I’ll probably last about 20 minutes. 😂 

    10/26 - 197.7
    DH wants to go the Culver’s for lunch. 🙁 I’ll behave as well as I can. On the plus side, we’ll probably skip dinner tonight. It’s a beautiful day, and I got some yard work don’t this morning, and went for a nice walk. All good. Have a lovely Sunday!

    10/27 -

    🎷 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-e574972253d7d8-557f.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".

    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.

    10/25 141 – (trend 141.8) 6.86 miles walked.

    10/26 139.8 – (trend 141.5) a very nice whoosh, but will it stick for tomorrow? 14.97 miles walked; it felt like 20+! We walked a newly opened up old disused railway, although very level underfoot, the ground was large stones which were loose so every step those stones moved or rolled under foot & were felt even though our walking boots; we won’t be walking there away in a hurry – if ever!

    10/27 140.6 – (trend 141.4) More or less knew yesterday’s number would not stick, but still happy, last weight in previous round was 144, so that’s a loss of 3.4 pounds. I know that that previous weight was inflated due to a bad few days, but still happy. No structured exercise; met up with DS & family at Sudbury Children’s House, enjoyed the time with DGDs.

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

    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.

    10/25 – DNW


    10/26 – 130.0 Made it to 64. Disappointed and pleased at the same time. Disappointed that post-wedding has me so lost, but I am happy to not be over 130, and happy that I am lower than when I turned 63.

    10/27 – 129.8 Round is complete. I did not “step up” like I needed to do.

    @fermatamb7212 your trip sounds delightful! Welcome back.

    Thanks all for the support, food addiction is a tough one to unravel. Sorting through my days thinking about the difference between when food is just food and when food is a dopamine hit. Thanks @Chapter_3 for the science reminder!

    As for Japan, my Japanese auntie gave up her US citizenship almost 20 years ago when she visited home and reconnected with her childhood sweetheart. I have only seen her a scattering of times since, here in NY.

    My other aunt decided I would be joining her this year when she goes to Japan. So I have been gifted a first class two week trip with my Aunties. I’m just along for the ride. I know how special this is and how fortunate I am.

    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.

    10/27 173.4 It’s a process! I am back on a downward trend. The weekend wasn’t great but I did stay on track for the week days.
    I’m not unhappy with little bumps because of a good meal or a few social drinks. It’s the mindless eating and the mini binges that bum me out.

    I am thinking that I probably get a good dopamine surge from workouts which I have been skipping to get actual work done. Perhaps I’m reaching for the Halloween candy to replace that rush?

    It does help me to look at this journey from all kinds of lenses.

    It’s very chilly out and I’m dilly dallying instead of getting out to work…

    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!

    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!

    Good day leading into the weekend. But who am I kidding? As a retired person every week is made of six Saturdays and a Sunday. HA!

    DW leaving his morning for a week with her sister two states away. Sister is having breast surgery on Tuesday. Her husband is seriously ill and in a rehab facility trying to recover from C. diff so she can use a little sisterly support. I will hold down the fort here. The temptation to eat too much in her absence is real.

    10/26: 220.2
    ✏️🎯💓
    I ate within certain boundaries, but it was the wrong kind of food (and drink.) DW made it safely to her sister’s. She made me a pot of potato soup to nosh on while she is gone. :/ Delicious and carby.

    I am battling planter fasciitis I think. Hurts like crazy when I first get out of bed. It flairs up every now and then and is the reason I gave up on running decades ago. I don’t want to give up on walking. I bought some Vionic shoes, and they don’t seem to help like I thought they would. Any suggestions?

    10/27: 219.4
    ✏️☣️🎯💓
    I really have no room to complain about this round after the way it started. I am lower than the starting weight and the ten-day-average is down. My rolling (calculated daily) ten-day-average is trending under 220 for the fist time since August, which means I have undone the damage of those trips. Time to keep the pedal to the metal since holiday season is fast approaching.

    10/25 DNW Late dinner last night so skipping the scale.
    10/26 230.8. Beginning to question the scale!
    10/27 DNW ~ up early and didn't weigh just yet…but i'm about done with this round….so moving on!

    @SheilaBoneham ~ We've had frost the past couple of mornings so I pull everything in and stacked for winter yesterday. I'm not ready for winter though!

    @majork29 ~ I hope you are feeling better.

    @SModa61 ~ I hear you! I will be turning 65 in just under two weeks. I'm happy that my health is where it's at and the things that I am capable of….but there could be so much more, I think…and the weight…well, there's that. Not giving up of course but will probably do some soul searching over the next few weeks. One thing I have focused on and LOVE…is simply NOT doing anything that I really don't want to do. The next step is to compartmentalize negative energy from others. Rather than getting caught up in them, I want to pack them up figuratively, set them aside, and get back to good, healthy thoughts and actions. Great pictures!! So cute.

    @Chapter_3 ~ healthy "dopamine" rewards. I like the idea. Definitely a journey. Good Luck, keep us posted of what you find.

    @jrago47 ~ Nice work and progress!

    @fermatamb7212 ~ thanks for sharing your trip. Looks like a great time with great food! AND you did it…no gain. That's amazing!!! Lola is NOT ready for travel just yet. I'm still struggling with the car rides!!

    @Skyleen75 ~ Japan! Wow, can't wait to travel vicariously with you!

    Where is @quiltingjaine , is she traveling?

    i’m checking in. I’ll check in later. I have too much going on in my brain based on a conversation that I had last night, which is a sign that I’m not grounded.

    @Skyleen75 oh my gosh! What a trip is before you! Simply incredible! I can only believe that what “goes around comes around”, and you, my friend, are blessed…. “BECAUSE” ! 😎

    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 have not been able to wear in a year, and they are comfortable!!!

    10/19 – 195.8 – wow, did not 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 did not have any junk food yesterday.

    10/20 – 194.8 – wow again not sure this is real. Last night I worked the Halloween Spooktacular. Had a fun 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 completed the count by midnight. I did not 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 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 should not nibble on. I really do not want to step on the scales tomorrow….

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

    10/24 – DNW was sick all day

    10/25 – 193.8 – this would be an impressive loss if it were real. But I ate almost nothing yesterday. I have not been that sick in a long time. Still not feeling that great.

    10/26 – 193.4 – still thinking this could just be because of being sick. Was feeling better yesterday but still not great. Woke up again this morning with a headache.

    10/27 – 194.4 – Made my round goal loss and then some. Still up this morning from the last 2 days. I knew that I would be back up but thankfully not by as much as I could have been. Yesterday I felt much better, not 100%, but better. I slept well last night and got an extra hour of sleep this morning.

    ane 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.

    10/24-166.5

    10/25-167.9

    10/26-167.6

    10/27-166.0

    Lots of bouncing up and down with my weight this round but was always on track and eating at a deficit. Slept in this morning after a hectic weekend, so not sure my ending weight is truly accurate, as it was several hours after my normal weigh-on time. Will see what tomorrow brings with the start of a new round.

    Total Loss this round = 2.2 lbs.

    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.


    10/25 - 127.6 🏃🏻‍♀️

    10/26 - 128.8

    10/27 - 128.8 🏃🏻‍♀️ Wow, end of the round really snuck up on me. Fair, though, since I was unplugged from it and MFP for the weekend. I guess I did lose a pound so I’ll take it! Would love to get below 127 soon though. However this week’s social and Halloween challenges may cause some issues there (really my inability to resist temptation). I’ll see yall in the next round!
