    Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 314
    Nov 7 - 16, 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: 131.6

    11/7 – 130.2 Did not expect a down as I did not track well yesterday. Did do the 6.5 mile walk, my first walk in months. Definitely feeling some pain, but that happens with jumping in fast.

    11/8 – 131.0 Tracking not happening, but I again got in a walk, 4.5 miles. If I can re-establish exercise this round, that would be wonderful.

    Round 314
    Nov 7 - 16, 2025
    Female, 54, 5”1’
    HW: 209.5 **was higher but I just did not get on the scales.
    RSW: 192.2
    RGW: 190
    FGW: 175
    UGW: 125

    I 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 Diller

    Goals for this round are:

    1. Eat with purpose.
    2. Drink 50oz of water daily
    3. Get my step count to 6k daily.

    11/07 - 191.8/5,289/125 - I didn't expect a drop this morning with all the chips and chocolate that I ate last night. I did get the shed reorganized and ready for winter and, found my Christmas decorations for the front lawn.

    11/08 - 192.6/4,640/4 - I got the uptick I expected yesterday this morning. Hopefully tomorrow I will be back down. I get to go out and shovel this morning so that the front walk doesn’t get icy. I enjoyed watching the snow all day yesterday. Today I will be going out first to shovel then for a walk around the bock in the cold fresh air.

    I’m Amanda, 5’2” 40F in Appalachian Virginia.

    Non-scale goals (tracked for prior day for remaining days of this round):

    🏃🏻‍♀️ Intentional movement 8/10 days

    🚫 No alcohol 5/10 days

    📝 Track 5/10 days

    SW Rnd 314 - 128.6
    RGW - 127.6

    11/7 - 128.0 🏃🏻‍♀️📝 I’ve been trying to get (and stay) at 127.x since at least R312. This is it! I am not having a wild weekend this weekend and I am GOING 👏🏻 TO 👏🏻 STAY 👏🏻 ON 👏🏻 TRACK, darn it. Today I’m going to lift weights and do chores for the morning. I have a quick meeting with my boss to get my login credentials for my new work laptop. Still feeling mixed about this choice but here we go.

    11/8 - 129.2 🏃🏻‍♀️🚫📝 Well I did most of the things that should lead to success yesterday except for one: I ate too much sensible food. I had zero sugary snacks or drinks, but I did have a high calories smoothie. I made sausage and apple stuffed butternut squash for dinner but found out one too late that one serving is 980 calories 😳 Also I was likely dehydrated from Thursday’s beer yesterday morning. We’re going out with another couple and booking a babysitter tonight so I don’t have great expectations for the next couple of days. I think the damage should be way less than Halloweekend was, though. Onward!

    I’m one of those people who is straightening a room and gets distracted by something that belongs somewhere else. Take it to that place and get distracted by something else. I NEVER get finished! I thank God for my DH. “Jaine put the clothes you want to take in the extra bedroom.” - about 2 weeks before we go. He’s a master packer. We took 1 large suitcase for our 2 week cruise and it was under 50#.

    @SheilaBoneham Just like you and the others, I also have getorganizeditis. To say it's distracting to main goals is an understatement!

    @khahn72856 Welcome to the challenge. Wouldn't it be nice if everyday were perfect? Ah, but it's not for any of us. You'll get there!

    @Jane022896 I am so impressed on how you handled the mexican restaurant! If I were able to do that, at this point, I would probably have already reached my goal as I've been at this for a few years! @quiltingjaine mentioned recently that she eats out at restaurants A LOT, and it's true! But she has also mastered self-control and proper ordering. I get so excited around restaurant foods as I'm from a very small town that has NONE of the offerings I see when I travel to the city. But the advantage is that I don't eat out around my own home town very often as it's been so repetitive after 28 years I can't stand most of the food anymore. The disadvantage is my complete lack of control during my frequent travels. It's something I continue to work on. Great job to you on skipping the bread, parting out the meal and taking some home. Oh, and to avoid eating half the chips basket too! Yay you!

    @Seniorliving I'm so sorry for the loss of your Step-Father. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.

    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.

    round 314 Nov 7 -Nov 16

    Nov 7 162.6

    Nov 8 162.6 out for dinner last night so happy no gain but looking forward to a drop

    JGMTD Rnd 314 #84

    F 67, 5’6”, married, retired. Embracing a “growing younger” positive mindset - to be fully present to enjoy each day of this #HSF (healthy, strong, fit) journey. I fully commit to a daily renewal of #MindBodySoul. HW 172lbs in 2010. Optimum weight of 127 to 129lbs in 2015. Roller Coaster 🎢 ride with max of 145lbs every three years since 2015. 

    Round#314 is my JGMTD 84th round. I joined JGMTD in Aug 2023 @ 145lbs & reached my confident weight of 128lbs in Dec 2023.

    I am a #foodaholic. I am on a lifetime health journey. Why? I want to keep up with my DH & fully enjoy activities with my grandchildren for as long as breathe!

    R318: I’m ready for an uninterrupted round of progress, persistence, consistency & focus. AND LETS WORK IN SOME FUN! BHAG 128-130lbs. I was “there” for several months at this time last year and several months the year before. I shall do it again & remain. #HSF #MindBodySoul

    I pursue a clean, whole food, WOE tracking macros and calories. 🏆 I pursue aging younger through an assortment of activities: 🎾 , strength-training 🏋️‍♀️, structured weighted -vest, walk🚶‍♀️, 8-10k steps/day👣, mobility, flexibility, movement🤸🏼 & plyo⏱️#MindBodySoul 📖 I’ve named my journey, “Healthy, Strong, Fit” (#HSF)

    *******
    11/7 133.0 🏋️‍♀️📖👣✅

    11/8 133.8 🏋️‍♀️📖👣✅

    ********

    11/7 Ready to start this round! I remember  R300 was one of my most successful rounds because I dedicated it to all the JGMTD long-term participants. I honestly want to dedicate this to @skyleen75 because she has been such an inspiration … And of course, I seem to do much better when I put someone else before me. 😜 LETS GO! 
    oh, and I laughed so hard last night with my friends - I’m on my way to chalking up some good fun. ✅ I’m adding this checkmark ✅ to track laughter and joy to my day because I need to make sure each day is filled to the brim!

    11/8 I am not any less committed this morning than I was at 6:15 PM last night. I had a perfect day until meeting family for dinner to celebrate my sister‘s birthday… Perfect nutrition (🏆) 🏋️‍♂️👣📖.  I was planned and prepared… Until, one alcoholic beverage (oh just one), and a “small” taste of the best pasta my mouth has tasted in years… Oh what FAKE delight! That was it! It was over from that singular moment. At least I stuck to only one alcoholic beverage, but I ate the entire plate of pasta then, THEN…. enjoyed a very small piece of cheesecake. I’m not upset this morning… I’m even more committed as it proves that my self-discipline can disappear at any moment. POOF! GONE! I will consciously avoid any temptation for the remainder of #318 & #319. I know that moderation is key, but I’ve been on this journey long enough to know that I’ve been giving too much lip service and choosing to not buckle down and staying firm to my ultimate BHAG (decision). It starts with getting a grip on my thought patterns. ONWARD!

    11/9 Stayed on nutrition plan… and, will be active today. I managed to have a little fun yesterday, but TBH, most of the day I was a supreme sourpuss. Focusing on attitude adjustments, gratefulness & positivity. 🙏
