Round 313 28 Oct – 6 Nov 2025

Please join us starting on 28 October for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 313

Anyone can join us at any time during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful, we can do this, you can do this.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. You have only one hour to edit your post. Post every day to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non-scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share. Make the board your own - track what is important for YOUR JOURNEY. 

FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all the posts.

Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 313
Oct 28 – Nov 6, 2025

64 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: 129.8

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

11/3 – DNW

11/4 – 131.0 The upward trend continues. Posting quickly before heading to the airport. Two weeks in Florida. Hopefully I can use it as a reset of attitude!!

11/5 – DNW at MIL’s house

11/6 – 131.6 Really ended this round with a bang!!!! BUT I am posting today AFTER having gone walking roughly 6.5 miles (watch died so I am estimating from experience)

🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂

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 — R312, 197.7

Date, Trend Weight, Comments

10/28 - 197.7
Yesterday was not stellar—it was my weekly brunch and knitting day, and although I didn’t pig out, I did have french toast. Then DH made chili and cornbread for dinner. Oh well! Today’s another day! 

10/29 - DNW
10/30 - DNW 
10/31 - 🎃 DNW 
11/01 - DNW 

11/02 - 197.7

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 ! 😂🤣😂

11/03 - 198.5
Ah, yes, there’s the uptick from the end of last week. It’s ok. 

11/04 - 198.5. In the interest of not getting back into the “I must lose every day/week/round” mindset, or my old obsessing about calories but still eating too many of them, I’ve decided to stop commenting on upticks. I’ve also decided to work on one or two changes at a time rather than all the changes I might make for the better. (That was edited to change “should” to “might”—no shoulds!) I’m going to start tracking those and go for 30 days in a row before adding another. First up, from today forward. I tend to have a snack at bedtime even though I’m not hungry and probably had a snack between dinner (5 o’clock) and bed (10:30-11). I know I’d eliminate ~200 calories by breaking this habit. I’ll mark success with a happy moon. 🌝 And I might follow through on daily intentional exercise with the walking and exercise apps I bought and use sporadically. I’ll mark success with a little jog. 🏃🏽‍♀️I’m trying to make this all positive and joyful rather than punitive and shameful. I have no specific weight loss goals, just a downward trend.

11/05 - DNW
I was in a hurry this morning and forgot to weigh in. 🤪

11/06 - 198.4
Good weigh in this morning, but of course trend weight takes a while to catch up. See you next round!

My History, 2015-2025

Well, I don’t know if it’s me, my phone or the app. I seem to be unable to do what I want on here.

@_JeffreyD_ I love your comment about being a foodaholic! That is truly my problem on a cruise - even with food that didn’t appear appetizing!

I am trying to get back on track and have done well the last few days. Now if I could just get back in the habit of getting on here first thing in the morning!

11/1  No scale  Fly home
11/2  139.0  Flight delays yesterday 
11/3  137.0  Awake at 3:45 
11/4  136.0
11/5  135.0  
11/6  134.5 Going to lunch-ner with friends.

I have to say, the only benefit of the pandemic was that I had to cook! We eat out a LOT!

@itladyee happiest birthday wishes!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend of celebration!

@Jane022896 I have been told that we wake up in a dehydrated state and need to refill. I have started to add drinking 1 -8oz cup of water with my pills before having my coffee. It's interesting that I have noticed that I am drinking less coffee then before and not missing it.

@deepwoodslady I'm sorry that your son held you down and forced you to eat the ice-cream 😉I might just let my hubby know that he forced me to eat the chocolates…

@Skyleen75 I have to get my bulbs in the ground too. We had a little snow last night, it did not last but it's a start.

@_JeffreyD_ I so agree this is a dangerous time of the year. Halloween candy is almost the worst. I'm taking the last of ours to my ladies group this morning. That way I can share it with others and get it out of my house.

@_JeffreyD_ and @Chapter_3 Last eyar I got a sunlight from Costco and use it every morning from the end of October to the end of March, it really helped. With sunrise today @7:44am and sunset @ 4:53pm the days are just getting too short.

@Chapter_3 planning for nights out is a good idea, wish thatI did it more. You can and will navigate 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!

STARTING WEIGHT / R312 EW= 183.8

R313 EW= 185.0

🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜Final goal: 145-155. I’ll know when I get there.

👀👀👀 LOOK AND SEE HOW THE UPS & DOWNS OF MY JOURNEY JUST HELPS ME BE A STRONGER & MORE DETERMINED ME 👀👀👀:

Day/Weight/Comment

ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 183.8

10/28-183.4 ✅ (Trend Weight – 184.1)

10/29-184.6 ❌ (Trend Weight: 184.1)

10/30-DNW ↔️ (Trend Weight: DNW)

10/31-184.0 ✅ (Trend Weight: 184.2)

11/01-183.0 ✅ (Trend Weight: 184.1)

11/02 – 183.0 ↔️ (Trend Weight – 184.1)

11/03-182.0 ✅ (Trend Weight: 183.9)

11/04-183.2 ❌ (Trend Weight: 183.8)

11/05-184.8 ❌ (Trend Weight: 183.910/28-183.4 ✅ (Trend Weight – 184.1) ) I wasn’t going to weigh today because our choices yesterday when out of town were never-ending pasta, breadsticks and soup. Olive Garden was a bit of a treat since even our closest faraway towns “up north” where I live don’t have Olive Gardens. I feel like I boxed a lot to take home (ate it later for dinner) and did “okay”. Not great, not too bad. But the stop for ice cream at my son’s request on the way home was totally unnecessary. He held me down and forced it down my throat or I wouldn’t have eaten it. It was quite the public display! Anyway, hopefully some of the fluid retention will drop off in the next day or two. I don’t think the whole 1.6 lb increase is fat. Fingers crossed!

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

Jane 50+ 5'5

Starting Weight 173.3 lbs.

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!

11/3: 164.0 Delicious family dinner last night, I typically double the recipe for whatever I make on Sundays to have extras pre-portioned and ready for quick easy dinner or lunch the rest of the week for me. I don't mind eating the same thing every night for a week but look forward to something new every Sunday. We typically only have 1 -2 meals a week when everyone is home together and I can cook.

11/4: 163.9 Inch by inch still trying to get back to that 10/31 number, which must have been an anomaly as I've been well in a calorie deficit every day. Wonder if I misread the scale (ha ha). I've slacked, off a little bit with my water intake, been at about half my usual water, will make that a priority more.

11/5: 163.6 Still focus on getting that water in, I heard a report yesterday that said we wake up already in a dehydrated state and should consume at least 16 ounces right when we wake up and in doing that we will train our bodies to equate waking up with replenishing the dehydrated state and our bodies will begin to wake up more naturally. Worth a try!

11/6: 163.1 Happy with my results this round…on to the next! Hoping the next round brings me into 159.x

@sands4 welcome to the group! This is the round 313 thread. You can copy and paste this into the round 314 thread to get started with us for 314! And I think it will be Nov 7 - Nov 16 😊

@deepwoodslady I had to go back and see what I wrote about your graph. My comment was how a picture speaks a thousand words and how your graph qualifies. IMO it shows so much success. I know you feel frustrated at times, as do we all, but I think your graphs speaks to your accomplishments, and I hope you see that as well. <3
