🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 313 (my 243rd).
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".10/27 140.6 – (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 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.
EW Rnd 312 140.6
SW Rnd 313 140.6
10/28 140.6 – (trend 141.3) 8.77 miles walked.
10/29 140 – (trend 141.2) met up with group of DSs & FF, went for a carvery: we were all very restrained in portion control. 6.44 miles walked before meeting up.
10/30 141.8 – (trend 141.2) woops, chocolate jumped into my mouth!! No structured walking – drove up to fetch 7-year-old DGS, he is staying with us overnight whilst his younger brother is in hospital for a routine procedure.
10/31 141.8 (trend 141.3) – second day with DGS so no structured walking, younger DGS came through his procedure well.
11/1 DNW - away for the weekend in the caravan. Short walk, almost 4 miles after we arrived.
11/2 DNW - just short of 12 miles walked into Henley-on-Arden & back.

66 year-old Mimi who loves being outside. Retired except for Mimicare for the grands a couple days a week and after school pickup. Yet, somehow, I'm busier now than when I was working it seems.
Highest Weight: 213 (in ~2005)
Lowest Weight: 143 (in ~2019)
Weight in 2024 when I began MFP again: 191.3
Goal Weight: 147SW Rnd 313—155.8
10/28—155.8 Stuck inside with construction workers yesterday and lots of rain, so no exercise to speak of. Had a fundraising dinner at an Italian restaurant in the evening for Maryville Christian School where my granddaughter goes. It was 9:00 when we got home from that. Did well managing food yesterday in the face of all that and held steady. River is hoping for a good walk sometime today!
10/29–156 I’ve got to up my exercise level today no matter what the weather does. Construction project is finished so I am hoping to be able to go to the gym.

11/2 157.2 Can we say self-sabotage??? Part of this is Halloween candy after Trunk or Treat through Halloween itself. Part of it was just poor management of food intake. It will be temporary, but it may ruin my progress for this round. Getting the chocolate candy out of the house today!

@fermatamb7212 Ha! You can tell your husband it all fits neatly in three totes. He doesn’t need to know about the other two totes of things I didn’t use this year!
While I am really good at getting rid of things, holiday decor is my weakness.On yard sale day, I was carrying a box so big I could barely walk. Someone yelled across the crowd “Brian, you should be carrying that for your wife!” He yelled back “ it’s filled with more christmas decorations and I’ll have nothing to do with it!”

11/01 174.811/02 174.0 It goes on so fast but comes off so slow. I just need to keep plodding along. Historically this time of year I go into a holding pattern and then begin a slow painful creep up.
I’m really committed to breaking that cycle. At least right now, in theory I am. The actual actions will take effort to not reach for immediate food gratification.
If I can harness just one tenth of the effort I put into WANTING to change my patterns into ACTUAL change, I’d be a success!
I am feeling capable this morning. One foot in front of the other, one decision at a time. I just have to keep pushing. Change takes time.

Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 313
Oct 28 – Nov 6, 202564 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 – 146.6GW Maintaining between 124 – 126
SW: 129.8
10/28 – 129.2 Yesterday was actually good! Yay! Calories were actually around 200 under, but I have eaten so much lately, I have a few extra calories stored on me. I don’t plan to do this repeatedly, but good to see no spin out yesterday. Let’s get through today!
I am going to make a point of doing the coffee thing in the morning and making sure I catch up on all your posts. When I am not, it is an indicator of where my head is all.
(haha, this year I remembered to update my about me instead of months later!!)
10/29 – 130.0 Ok, payback for cuddling grandchildren when DD warns me they both have colds. Sore throat and body aches, which make me want to EAT……
10/30 – 130.4 not surprised. I did zero tracking yesterday. Still feeling bleck, but grateful that is all it is. :)
10/31 – 130.4 no tracking yesterday, again. The cold is sticking with me and changing each day, first sore throat, then body aches, then congestion, now added ear ache and slight coughing. Need to check in on mom today, but will keep it short and mask up. Despite the cold, plan to join my DGSs trick or treating this evening. We will be outside, and heck, I can’t give it to them as then gave it to me. :P
11/1 – DNW just did not feel like facing the scale this AM
11/2 – 130.0 Actually grateful as during Halloween eve I went on a binge of the leftover snack bags I purchasesd for trick or treat-ers. We had the most kids at this home ever…….one child. Amazon delivery driver also got one. Lots were left and were just too tempting. Then last night went out to eat, but I did my smart method of a lovely appetizers as my entrée. A charcuterie board was shared between the four of us as a starter. Still did not expect a down. <3

@musicsax do glad DGS is doing well!
@deepwoodslady I really hope you are looking at your chart you posted. There is the expression "a picture is worth more than a thousand words". I think your chart counts as that.
Thanks for the well wishes. Given that I am not uber sick, and just sick, it is actually really interesting to watch the evolution of the illness: first the scratchy throat that I thought was from eating too much salt that day; then worse throat and body aches; as those left I could feel congestion; then the nose blowing; that is almost gone and I can feel it is making its best effort to go for the lungs. Each of these phases were just at an annoying level of sick, and not that bad. But bad enough to pitting eat. :P Still trying to protect my mom from getting it from me. Hubby was not so lucky……

The UPF tripped me up. It was moments of weakness as I thought yesterday would be good. It only takes a moment, doesn’t it? My weakness comes when I start patting myself on the back.10/29: 222.2
Oooofffff !
Yesterday was the anti-goal day.10/30: 220.4
✏️☣️🎯
I could hive myself a half of a heart for my half-hearted exercise, but no. Yesterday was a chauffeur day for the generations behind me, and book keeping day for the generations ahead of me.By the way… for me, logging food begets more success if I log as soon as the food is eaten, or even before. Waiting until the end of the day to tally it up is usually disappointing.
10/31: 220.4
✏️☣️
Pumpkin pancakes at Rotary lunch was my big meal of the day. I love breakfast for lunch, but it took my eye off the target.Today is lunch out with friends, then pizza with the grands tonight (oh, and with their parents too. HA!) before they go out and troll our neighborhood for chocolate. I will sneak at least one quality control sample from our “outgoing” basket.
11/1: 223.0
I am a container this morning. And I contain a lot.11/2: 220.4
✏️🎯💓 by a hair.Like many of you have expressed, these next two months of eating temptation are kicked-off with too much left-over candy. I have failed the test too many times. I usually start Nov/Dec in a hole with too many peanut butter cups, etc. Then, these cool months are loaded with comfort food offerings. Discouragement follows. I can see it plain as day.
Yesterday was pretty good. Let’s take it one day at a time.

Round 313
Oct 28 – Nov 6, 2025
Female, 54, 5”1’
HW: 209.5 **was higher but I just did not get on the scales.
RSW: 194.4
RGW: 192
FGW: 175
UGW: 140I am Kira, working, an empty nester, and married. I live in Edmonton, Alberta with my hubby, dog, Farley, cats Shadow and Hunter. I have tried all diets and programs out there over the years, but nothing has worked for long. Now I am working on loving life and trying to be healthier.
A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.
Phyllis DillerGoals for this round are:
- Check in every day.
- Weigh in every day.
- Get my step count to 10k daily.
10/28 – 194.4/ 4,036/19– no change today. I was thinking I would have a gain so I’m happy. Finally feeling better. Not many steps yesterday. My goal for this round is to get my step count up. I have become very sedentary again. Need more movement. Not much sleep last night watching the Blue Jays game till the bitter end. I’m feeling sorry for the fans on the east coast.
10/29 - 194.6/4,877/6 - a slight bump up but expected. Had a busy day yesterday. Happy that both the Blue Jays and Oiler's won last night.
10/30 - 194.8/5,924/26 - not liking this trend of upward movement on my weight. But I did add some more steps to my day yesterday. I ended up working the Spooktacular event for a second time (it's a fundraiser my office runs for a local foodbank).
10/31 - 193.8/4,081/17 - nice drop this morning. My step count was really low but with driving over 200km yesterday it was expected.
11/01 - 193.0/5,590/145 - a drop again today, I'll take it had a bit too much Halloween junk last night and was expecting a gain, probably tomorrow I will see it. I did get lots of active minutes yesterday going through and putting out the Halloween decorations. Today I am working an open house all afternoon so that will be on my feet. Then tonight we have a party, again on my feet outside around a big fire.
11/02 - 192.4/7,062/98 - another drop, not sure how that happened with all the Halloween candy I ate the last 2 days. I guess that I have balanced it with an increase in my steps and active minutes. Had lots of fun at the party last night, it was really fun to see some people that we haven't seen in months. Hard to watch the Jays lose but they lost in extra innings and played really awesome. The Oiler's won last night so that was good.

End Round 311: 168.9
End Round 312: 166.0
Goal Weight: 136 lbs.
10/28: 165.9 My brain initially read the scale as 156.9 and I was super excited and then was like that can't be right, it wasn't!! But still pleased with this round start. Lots to do today, first work, then music lesson for my daughter, meeting up with a friend to discuss a project we are doing together, clean the house, grocery shop for book club this week, get book club discussion questions ready, and then work on more projects for an upcoming event…and hopefully find time for a family dinner!
10/29: 165.3
10/30: 164.5
10/31: 163.8
11/1: 164.5 A little bounce up from yesterday…I was in a calorie deficit but eating patterns have been off the last two days with timing and macros - the foods I choose definitely make a difference with my body & weight loss. I'll be more focused today eating to my scheduled plan.
11/1: 164.4 Was hoping for a bigger drop today but a loss is a loss, so I’ll take it and move forward! I enjoyed an extra hour of sleep with the time change and now I'm off to enjoy my day. I should be grocery shopping and cleaning my house today but instead I'm going to have a lovely day with friends. Lots going on in the upcoming week…my daughter starts her college internship, hosting 2 friends for their birthdays (making the cakes), and a big project I’ve been working on for about 6 months goes live. Have a lovely Sunday everyone!

A bit off the rails the past few days, hanging out at our big local dog show and not eating carefully. Walked a lot, though! I don’t have anyone to show anymore, but I had fun cheering on my friends, seeing people I haven’t seen in ages, and smooching lots of my friends’ doggers. Anyway, my trend weight hasn’t changed and I’m back on track today. I haven’t read posts, either, but will try to catch up with you all. I did look at the pictures—some great costumes out there. @Skyleen75 ! 😂🤣😂

10/28: DNW—My scale battery died and of course it wasn’t a normal battery. I’ll be up and running tomorrow.
10/29: 175.5 📉🤯So what this means is…I lost weight on vacation!!! I guess I’m not surprised, since we were getting so much activity and the food wasn’t agreeing with me. It’s kind of a shock, because that is not what used to happen on vacation. 🤣I got to start tap class up again and that felt great! I’m so happy to be back with my regular food. I mean, vacation is fun and all, but there’s no place like home. 👠👠🌈
10/30: 175.3 📉😁Back to tap 💃
10/31: 175.8 📈 🎃 I had to get up earlier today. I fully believe that I would have weighed less if I had slept in and weighed another hour or two later.
11/1: 175.0 📉🙌This is my goal for the round! 🤯One thing I know, I’m either less hungry all the time now and/or I’m getting better at living with my hunger feeling for a while. In the past, if I felt a little hunger, I ate some tortilla chips to get me through to the next meal. Granted, I was having difficulty figuring out what to eat and how to live with my Celiac diagnosis. Then my bookclub discussed THE COMFORT CRISIS by Michael Easter. This was a very thought-provoking read that pointed out how we seek comfort too much to our detriment, and he talked about the obesity crisis and our inability to deal with being uncomfortable (hungry).
11/2: 174.2 📉🫢I didn’t expect this loss today either. I’m kind of thinking that my body decided I’m not in starvation so it adjusted to what I am eating and upped my metabolism. I was a plateau for quite a while and frustrated. Being patient paid off…I guess. Who knows? 🤷♀️
Yesterday, the only thing we had left for dinner was a chef salad sans eggs & cheese. I typically bake or grill about 5 lbs of chicken at a time and freeze them individually. This allows me to pull them out one at a time—already cooked and rearin’ to go. It also wasn’t my usual throw-some-salad-mix-on-a-plate-with-dressing kind of salad. This had dried cranberries and chopped almonds! Other colorful veggies too. Oh yeah…sooooo yummy! 😋I even had enough calories left for a cupcake, so I had one!!! Know what? It wasn’t as good as I remembered. Of course, it wasn’t chocolate, so we’ll see when I get to have a chocolate one.
@Skyleen75 Toooo funny ! 🤣I have one tote for each season, except Christmas is an unmentionable amount. I’m trying to downsize that, but it’s sooo hard.
@SModa61 Hope you feel better soon ! 🤧💙
@majork29 Congrats on your downward trend ! 🎉Can I ask what the 3rd number is on your entries each day? Maybe you’ve already shared and I missed it. Today it was 98.
@Jane022896 Your comment about only being down 1 /10th of a lb reminded me of how my WW coach used to say, “Quarter of a pound is a stick of butter.” I always imagined that stick melting off of me. So I looked it up, and I could be wrong, but 3.2 tablespoons of butter = 0.1 lbs. I enjoy looking at each pound I lose as a 4-pack of butter.

@Jane022896 I'm curious what your six month project has been. Wondering if you care to share.
@_JeffreyD_ Reese cups are like Lay's potato chips to me. I could NEVER eat just one! Honestly, it's best I just completely keep them out of my pie hole.
@fermatamb7212 I love the butter analogy. I think I must be a visual learner because I see it so clearly and I think it will be a great help!
@SModa61 I'm not sure what you would like me to see on my graph? More info please. I would love your insights for sure. Everything helps!
Thanks to everyone for the great costume pictures. I really enjoyed them.

ROUND #313
ROUND 269 FOR ME.
“We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” - Maya Angelou
🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 65 YEARS YOUNG & FROM MICHIGAN USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL. My highest weight (2016) was 253. My goal was to lose 100 to 105 pounds. I started MFP after losing 18 of those pounds on my own weighing 235. I want my health back, I want ME back!

10/31-184.0 ✅ (Trend Weight: 184.2)
11/01-183.0 ✅ (Trend Weight: 184.1) Below is my Trend Weight graph for the past 6 months. I did really well starting around my birthday (May 10th) through summer. Then in September and throughout Autumn I have really become stagnant and fizzled out. No big permanent gains, just kind of like a firecracker that turned out to be a dud. It’s time to pick up some steam again, some sparkle. With the holidays directly in front of us, it won’t be easy but I’m going to give it the old college try and do my best to navigate it. I won’t settle for just “not gaining” during the holidays. The losses need to pick back up and push their way through. I never know what tomorrow brings, but today I feel ready! New Month, Fresh Start!
🦃🦃🦃🦃 11/02 – 183.0 ↔️ (Trend Weight – 184.1) I made a lousy choice for dinner last night. Just because it fits into my calorie goal doesn’t mean it conducive to weight loss. I must remember that the wrong ACTUAL food choices (carbs, starches) that raise my blood sugars physically and scientifically trigger extreme hunger and extreme cravings as my body tries to “fix” things. I managed to get through it (this time) but things would be much easier if I would just stick to approved foods. It’s just so hard to stay away from certain things common and approved for other non-diabetic people. A sandwich without bread just isn’t filling! And sometimes I’m hyper-focused on heart health (saturated fat etc) and miss the big picture in my diabetes planning. Weight remained steady today but I must stay focused.

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

🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 313 (my 243rd).
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".
10/27 140.6 – (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 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.
EW Rnd 312 140.6
SW Rnd 313 140.6
10/28 140.6 – (trend 141.3) 8.77 miles walked.
10/29 140 – (trend 141.2) met up with group of DSs & FF, went for a carvery: we were all very restrained in portion control. 6.44 miles walked before meeting up.
10/30 141.8 – (trend 141.2) woops, chocolate jumped into my mouth!! No structured walking – drove up to fetch 7-year-old DGS, he is staying with us overnight whilst his younger brother is in hospital for a routine procedure.
10/31 141.8 (trend 141.3) – second day with DGS so no structured walking, younger DGS came through his procedure well.
11/1 DNW - away for the weekend in the caravan. Short walk, almost 4 miles after we arrived.
11/2 DNW - just short of 12 miles walked into Henley-on-Arden & back.
11/3 141.4 (trend 141.4) – travelled back home, no structured walking.

OSW: 237.8 (Nov. 2016.) I was actually at 250 in 2011 or so…
OGW: 199 (just to say I did)
Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205Daily Goals (4) for this round:
-✏️ Log Food.
-☣️ No Ultra Processed Food (UPF).
-🎯 Meet CI/CO target, net 1500. (CO reduced by UPF CI)
-💓 Exercise minimum 20 minutes. More if possible.Round 313 Posts
This is my posting format….
Month/Day: Scale Reading first thing today before getting dressed. / Goals met ✏️☣️🎯💓/ Comment10/27/25: 219.4 SW from end of previous round.
10/28: 220.2
✏️🎯💓
The UPF tripped me up. It was moments of weakness as I thought yesterday would be good. It only takes a moment, doesn’t it? My weakness comes when I start patting myself on the back.10/29: 222.2
Oooofffff !
Yesterday was the anti-goal day.10/30: 220.4
✏️☣️🎯
I could hive myself a half of a heart for my half-hearted exercise, but no. Yesterday was a chauffeur day for the generations behind me, and book keeping day for the generations ahead of me.By the way… for me, logging food begets more success if I log as soon as the food is eaten, or even before. Waiting until the end of the day to tally it up is usually disappointing.
10/31: 220.4
✏️☣️
Pumpkin pancakes at Rotary lunch was my big meal of the day. I love breakfast for lunch, but it took my eye off the target.Today is lunch out with friends, then pizza with the grands tonight (oh, and with their parents too. HA!) before they go out and troll our neighborhood for chocolate. I will sneak at least one quality control sample from our “outgoing” basket.
11/1: 223.0
I am a container this morning. And I contain a lot.11/2: 220.4
✏️🎯💓 by a hair.Like many of you have expressed, these next two months of eating temptation are kicked-off with too much left-over candy. I have failed the test too many times. I usually start Nov/Dec in a hole with too many peanut butter cups, etc. Then, these cool months are loaded with comfort food offerings. Discouragement follows. I can see it plain as day.
Yesterday was pretty good. Let’s take it one day at a time.
11/3: 222.2

Up and down and up and down. I was too busy yesterday to have too many snaccidents.11/4

good morning, late starting this challenge but woke up inspired and eager to get back on track. So hello everyone. I’m 67 🤪and lost 40 lbs during Covid and became vegan as well and also gave up alcohol, so I guess I could say Covid provided gave me a kickstart to look after my health. I’ve kept the weight off, up and down a few either way. I’d love to lose the last 20 lbs I never did.
